Aftermath Nogitsune

Void Stiles -Chapter 1

"Divine move. Divine move. you think you have any moves at all? You can kill the oni, but me? Me? I'm a thousand years old! YOU CAN'T KILL ME!" The Nogitsune screamed.

"But we can change you" cried out Lydia.

Void narrowed his eyes. "What?" he demanded. 

"You forgot about the scroll" Stiles said.

"The Shugendo scroll" finished Lydia.

Void Stiles stared at them, realization dawning in his eyes. "Change the host" he whispered very quietly.

"You can't be a fox and a wolf" noted Stiles.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Scott grabbed Void's shoulder and sunk his teeth into his arm with a howl. A piercing scream filled the air, as the Nogitsune suffered from the pain. Then, Kira followed Scott by stabbing Void from the back with her sword. The lights began to flicker on and off.

Void fell onto his knees, struggling to breath.  He began to twitch and shake, until a firefly flew out of him. The fly began to fly away from the group, much to the horror and shock of both Lydia and Stiles. The moment when they thought all hope was lost, Isaac came to the rescue. He captured the fly with the Triskelion urn (Derek's wooden box) and trapped it there.

Void began to twitch uncontrollably, but than suddenly stopped, and broke down to dust. At that moment, Stiles started to feel sick. Lydia, Kira, and Scott watched in slow motion as their friend suddenly collapsed. His body hitting the floor with an echoing thud.

"STILES!" they all shouted, as they raced towards him.

He was motionless, and so lifeless,  it terrified them.

"Oh my God! Oh God! Somebody do something" Kira cried worriedly.

"I can't hear his heartbeat" Isaac said, as Scott realized the same thing.

"Stiles? Stiles? Can you hear me?  Stiles, man, please, you gotta wake up!" Scott pleaded.

Stiles remained still, unmoving, unbreathing. Lydia and Scott reached out to him. Scott removed his black sweater and placed it gently under Stiles' head. He than began to pump at Stiles' chest, to regain the heartbeat. Lydia was quietly whispering comforting words by his side.

"Wait! I can hear him breathing!" exclaimed a relieved Isaac.

Lydia leaned in closer.

"Yeah he's right. If Stiles is breathing, it means he's good right? She asked, uncertain.

"What if that's not the case?" Scott said with fear in his eyes. "What if killing Void really did end up killing Stiles? What the hell are we supposed to to do?" He yelled out angrily. "I can't lose him! Not after Allison!" At that, Isaac flinched.

Then, both Lydia and Scott's eyes widened, coming down to the same conclusion.

"Howl!" They said in unison.

Kira seemed confused, but Isaac understood. Together, he and Scott howled like their lives depended on it. It was so loud, it echoed through the entire school, and Beacon Hills. Derek and Ethan both had to cover their ears. Aiden smiled, knowing he had done the right thing in the end.

Stiles slowly began to fade back to consciousness, wondering what had just happened. He had heard something, but what? It sounded familiar. Like a howl. Scott's howl. But why would Scott be howling? When Stiles finally opened his eyes, everything was blurry at first, then he noticed them. Scott was kneeling to his right with a worried expression. Kira sat next to Scott. Issac was standing above them, and Lydia was sitting to Stiles' left, with a relieved expression. She sighed deeply when she saw that he was awake.
