Gasping I sit up straight, clutching the edges of the tub breathing in warm air as my icy body begged for it.

     Wait a second, tub?

Looking up I saw Scott, Allison, and Lydia all as teenagers. Scott and Allison was soaked. I starred at Allison. She looked so pure, so young and innocent. God, have I missed her. Looking down quickly, I wiped water off my face as I was helped out.

This is when we sacrificed ourselves.
Explaining our stories I tried to calm my breathing.
"How long have we been out?" I panted surprising Deaton, beating him to the punch line.

"16 hours."

-

The days played out the same, the wreck even.
The side affects was as intense now just like they was then. But as soon as I got them I immediately began to start a plan. I had to be the one who got the nogitsune, I could stop it.

Driving to Deaton's I parked and walked out.
"Deaton..." I called out opening the door and walking into the mountain ash door, it knocking behind me as I watched as Deaton let down a baby poodle who ran up to me yipping and running off.

"Deaton I have a problem." he stared at me shocked before nodding.
I began to explain everything, including how the Nogitsune is possessing me and how I time traveled to prevent Allison dying. Deaton looked a bit distraught from all that I have told him.

"I don't know..Stiles if you have time traveled and this is not a hallucination effect from dying, and you really are being possessed by the nogitsune..This is a huge problem." Deaton paced back and forth as he said this.
I nodded. "It becomes a hellish problem now. And will make the future extremely harder now."

Deaton looked at me. "I think your time is running out." he was looking at everything that his future self had given me. "You can't just rewind time everytime you mess up. Stiles you have once chance if I am being clear. Another chance, I have no exact clue if that is possible.  You mess this up and we will have to find a different way to resurrect Allison in the future before the hunters attack."
I nodded slowly feeling my heart drop a few times.
My plan needed a redesign now.

This was not how it was suppose to happen. I felt the panic starting inside me, stirring the darkness as well. I shakily set down rubbing my hands across my face.
"Stiles? Stiles just breathe.."

I looked up at Deaton, tears in my eyes. "If I fail Deaton.."
Deaton looked at me. "You will find a way. Stiles you have never given up."
The past Stiles never did, but the future Stiles did many times. 

Gripping Deaton I hugged him trying to calm my breathing. I heard Lydia's scream in my head, every memory of the nogitsune rattling in my brain.

I cannot fail. I cannot fail Allison Argent.

I will not fail Allison Argent.

Straightening my posture I wiped my face clear of tears.
"I am a fox right?" I said grinning. Deaton looked at me a bit odd but nodded agreeing. "Yes, you are technically a fox."

"What if a fox, me, stabs myself with Kira's katana, then Scott bites me. It worked then but Kira stabbed me. Well the nogitsune. If I don't stab myself Kira still can. We separated ourselves, me from the nogitsune. But if we don't separate the host still changes. I have more control."

Deaton looked at me a little confused. "It seems to able to work. The only way to possibly kill a nogitsune would be to change the host."

"But it might change you Stiles."

"It might change me but 50% chance that it might possibly not change me."

"Is this worth the risk Stiles?"

"100% worth every risk for myself."

"Which may cause more risks if you risk yourself."

"If I risk myself there is more of a chance to not risk myself and others and risk the others that I love and risk the others that are others cause time travel and I probably shouldn't say anymore because time travel and uh-"

"Stiles, shut up."

"Yeah, alright Doc."
