Damaged 》Teen Wolf

Echo House Part 1

Derek slowly parked his car in front of Eichen House. I told him my plan, but he wasn't too thrill about it. He slowly turned and looked at me.

"You sure you want to do this?" He asked. I nodded. "Scott and them might need you."

My gaze didn't leave the dashboard. "I know." Then I slowly looked at him. "But Stiles needs me more."

"How do you even know he's coming?"

As on cue, Sheriff's car pulled up to the entrance. Derek and I exchanged a look before we got out. Mr. Stilinski and Stiles looked confused when we walked up.

"Mina, what are you doing here?" Stiles asked.

I shoved my hands into my coat pockets. "What? Do you really think I'll let you go in there alone?"

Mr. Stilinski looked at me. "Wait. You're going in with him?" I nodded while he looked at Derek. "And you're ok with this?"

"No," Derek said. "Leaving her in a place like this is that last thing I want to do." He crossed his arms. "Even if I told her no, she'll just sign herself in anyway. I don't really have that much of a choice."

There it is again. That strong pull. That pull that wants me to follow it. I looked behind me when I heard Scott's motorbike coming. He got off and quickly made his way over.

He looked at the four of us. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because we wanted to avoid something like this," Sheriff said.

"It's only 72 hours," Stiles assured him.

"How'd you know?" Derek asked.

Scott shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. I've...felt it." He looked at me. "It was like I was there when you were talking to Derek about it."

I rolled my eyes. "We should really learn to control this tether." Last time, I heard Scott's thought about how good Kira smelled.

Scott was trying to talk some sense into us. "This is the same place where Barrow came from. The guy who had a tumor inside him filled with flies." He looked towards the Sheriff. "You don't know everything yet."

"I know enough," he started. "Nogitsunes, Kitsunes, Oni, or whatever they're called."

"Wow, that was actually all surprisingly correct," Stiles said, a bit proud of his old man knowing this.

Mr. Stilinski ignored his son's comment. "Scott, I saw an MRI that looked exactly like my wife's. And it terrifies me. I'm headed down to L.A. tomorrow to talk to a specialist."

"Then why are you putting him in here?" Scott asked.

I shook my head. "It wasn't his idea." Scott snapped his gaze towards me and I motioned to Stiles. "It was his...and I'm going with him." Not that I'm too happy about either of us being in there.

Scott's eyes widen as he looked at Stiles. "Stiles, I can't help you if you're in here."

"And I can't hurt you," Stiles retorted.

Scott looked at me again. "And you're ok with this?"

"No," I answered. "That's why I'm going with him."

"Mina, if this has something to do with what the Nogitsune said -"

I shook my head. "It's not." Part of it is. I mean, I thought Stiles was ok with this whole True Mates thing. But the Nogitsune's words...The pain of seeing his girlfriend and best friend together. Why wouldn't Stiles tell me that this bothered him? "I'm the Warrior Alpha, remember? I protect those I love."
