The Divine Move

I was waiting a few minutes until I felt a presence next to me. It was a girl with long curly hair and pale skin. She smiled at me and introduced herself.

"Hi, are you new here too? Wait a minute...dumb question. Of course, you're new or you wouldn't be out here...sorry I'm babbling. I'm Allison. Allison Argent."

It happened so fast. The main lie we're telling the police about Allison's murder. Lie to the police and say that Scott called Argent. We called because people with masks tried to steal their car and one had a knife. Or something metallic and sharp. I don't think a katana would be considered small. But the main thing we have to say is 'it happened so fast,' which it did. Everything did happen so fast. One minute Allison killed an Oni, then the next an Oni killed her.

I was by Scott's side giving him a comforting side hug as we repeated the lie to Parrish at the police station. His pain is still there. I could still feel it. His heartbreak. I'm pretty sure he could feel mine. I glanced towards Isaac to see him breathing heavily. I reached over and grabbed his hand, which he squeezed in comfort. Scott was Allison's first love, that I get, but Isaac was getting close with her.

"Can you remember anything else?" Parrish asked. None of us said anything. "Anything else?" Parrish looked at Isaac. "Isaac?"

Isaac squeezed my hand a bit harder as he breathed more heavily. "I'm sorry. It just happened so fast."

The only place I thought Stiles would be safe was at Kira's house. Good thing, too, because he found out something called a divine move. I guess that's where the move is truly inspired or out-of-the-box. The place the Nogitsune was trapped in was the Nemeton, according to Stiles and Kira, and the only one who knows anything about it is Deaton. Which is why Scott, Lydia, and I went over.

"The problem is this isn't even a person you're fighting. It just looks like one," Deaton argued. "It's a spirit that's taken the shape of a human."

"The shape of my best friend," Scott argued back.

"Someone caught it once. Someone can do it again, right?" Lydia asked.

Deaton shook his head. "I don't know. This thing was trapped a long time ago before the Nemeton was cut down. It doesn't have the same power anymore."

"Is there anything that does?" I asked. There has to be a way to capture this sicko. Trap it once and for all...maybe kill it without killing Stiles.

"Possibly. When the tree was whole, its wood was sometimes used to contain powerful objects. But those objects are very rare." Powerful objects. The only thing I could think about was the box with the triskele on it that has my mother's claws. Can that work? Will it work?

"Wait a second. Powerful objects?" Lydia questioned. She must have had the same idea because she looked at me. "Like an Alpha's claws?"

"Which Alpha?"

"My mother's," I answered. I looked at Deaton. "That wooden box that has my mother's claws. That's made from the Nemeton." It can work. 

Scott gave me a confused look. "How do you know?" Well, besides the fact that I was captured and tortured for days trying to get it back. And the fact that I was there the day it was made, even though I was just a kid.

Deaton was the one who answered. "Because I made it."

I was already pulling my phone out and dialed Derek's number. "Which is the only answer I need." Derek picked up. "Hey, please tell me you still have the box?"

"Yeah, why?" He asked.

"Because we might have a way to capture the Nogitsune, but we need the box."
