Chapter 20: "Echo House"

It's later in the night and after dropping off Kira at home I wasn't really in the mood to drive so I had Scott drive as we pull up to Eichen House. Scott and I get out of the car and we walk up to Stiles and Sheriff Stilinski.

"Why didn't you tell us?" I asked Stiles as I feel a slight ache from where the sword was just hours ago.

"Because we wanted to avoid something like this." Stilinski answers and Stiles seems to notice my slight discomfort as he quickly looks down to my side before looking back up.

"It's only seventy-two hours." Stiles informs us.

"This is the same place where Barrow came from." Scott tells Stilinski. "The guy who had a tumor inside him filled with live flies. You don't know everything yet."

"I know enough." Stilinski says to all of us. "Nogitsunes, Kitsunes, Oni, or whatever they're called."

"Wow, that was actually all surprisingly correct." Stiles says.

"Scott, Zoey. 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."

"Why are you putting him in here then?" I ask.

"He's not." Stiles says. "It was my decision."

"We can't help you if you're in here."

"And I can't hurt you." Stiles says and I can see the regret in his eyes from what recently happened even though none of it was his fault.

"Deaton's got some ideas. Argent's calling people." Scott tells him. "We're gonna find something. And if we can't..."

"If you can't..." He stops for a second as he steps closer to the both of us. "If you can't, then you have to do something for me, okay? Make sure I never get out."

"Come on." Stilinski tells Stiles, but before he can leave I quickly throw myself into his arms and almost knocking us both to the ground.

Stiles hesitates before he wraps his arms back around me.

"I'm sorry." Stiles lowly whispers so only I can hear. "I'm so sorry."

"It's okay." I quickly tell him. "It wasn't you. I know that. It's okay."

Right after Scott and I left Stiles at Eichen House, I went straight home to get some sleep. Only I was hardly able to get any sleep and I ended up tossing and turning all night.

It's the next morning and Stiles is immediately on my mind just wondering how he's doing and if he's okay. I can't handle him being in there by himself without any of us with him.

A thought suddenly occurs in my mind and I come up with a really bad idea. Probably the worst of plans that I could come up with.

I quickly get out of bed and I grab a fresh set of clothes before setting off into the bathroom to take a quick shower.
