Chapter 50: When Demons Get The Best Of Us

Song of this chapter: Medicate- Gabbie Hanna
"Can you medicate a broken heart?"

6 months later:
Stiles' P.O.V:

"So like Peters dead, and now Derek's the alpha?" I say sitting down.

Scott nods. "Yeah even after me begging for me to kill Peter."

We were sitting in the living room of my house, and only me and Scott were home. These past 6 months me and Scott grew an even stronger bond, and we've been able to focus on how we get rid of Peter. I think Hope would be proud, well I hope.

"Hey you want a soda?" I say, getting up and heading to the fridge.

Scott nods, and heads to the sofa and puts on the television.

"Hey have you watch-"

That's when there was a knock on the door. Scott looked at me, and I gave him a look to go answer it. My dad didn't tell me we were expecting any guests, so I was assuming it was him.

I looked inside the fridge searching for sodas, and all I could hear was Scott talking to someone.

"Hey who is it!" I yell.

He doesn't reply, but he keeps talking to the stranger.

I head to the front door, and that's when I stand still.

"Oh my God." My mouth drops open.

At the other side of the door revealed my sister. However, she looked so different.Her hair had lost her colour, her lips were pale, she had massive bags under her eyes, and her mouth was a frown. That's when I saw the side of her face was bleeding. She was bleeding from her head. Her clothes were torn, and that's when I could feel like something had changed.

"What happened to you?" I ask.

She then just points at me. "You did this to me, and now I'm going to do the same to you!" She reaches to the side of her pocket, and pulls out a gun.

Scott just stands there watching the scene right in front of his eyes. She loads the gun, and points the gun at me. A nasty smirk on her face just before she pulls the trigger.

...

I wake up screaming, and it's not long before my dad rushes into the room. He holds me by the side of my head, whilst I cry in his arms.

"I saw her! She tried to kill me!" I cry.

"Stiles it was just a dream. You're fine." My dad says looking at me. "You're fine."

"I'm fine." My eyes wide looking around the room.

"You're fine."

He then places me back to sleep. All I hear is "I guess we're going to have to call the therapist again." And then I black out.

...

"So Stiles your dad tells me you're having these nightmares." My therapist writes down.

I nod hugging the pillow.

"Are they about your sister." She says leaning forward.

I look at her, and nod slowly. "I thought I was fine I was over it, but I guess I'm not."

"Stiles you'll never be over it. You're sister died you came to terms with that last time. You accepted it. You loved your sister very dearly, and you felt like you failed in protecting her. Things happen Stiles, and you have to learn to forgive yourself."

I'm silent for a moment, processing things.

"Easier said than done."

She nods. "Very true. Now if not too much trouble can you describe the main theme of these nightmares?"

I look around. "She's killing me. The lines are always the same."

"The lines?" She puts down her notepad.

"I always ask, what happened to you? And she always responds with, you did this to me! Then she kills me." I hug harder on the pillow.

"Stiles you still blame yourself for your sisters death don't you?"

I nod. "Its not just nightmares. It's like I see these hallucinations of her everywhere! Wherever I go she'll be there, smiling, waving like she was actually there! At the exact moment, it's like I can't get a break."

"Stiles. You still blame yourself, this has gotten to your head. You obviously have accepted she's dead, but not that it's not your fault." She says crouching down next to me.

"Stiles do you see her right now?" She says looking at me with concern.

I look around. "Yes."

She sits in the corner, reading a magazine, and when I mentioned her to Karen my therapist she put down her magazine and just waved.

"What is she doing?"

"She's waving." I say. "Am I going crazy?"

"I- I don't know Stiles. I'm going to help you though." She says getting up.

"Can I go now?" I ask.

She nods, and pushes the button so I can leave.

I walk out, and I can feel someone beside me. I turn to my side, and there she is.

"So where are we going?" Hope asks.

"Nowhere." I whisper. Trying to make sure I don't look crazy.

"I'll go wherever you go Stiles."

I suddenly then lose my temper. "Just leave me alone!" I scream. Everyone in the hallway stopped to look at me.

"I think you should go and see Karen again." My dad says walking up to me, moving my shoulders so I go back round.

"Off we go to Karen." Hope laughs.

"Off we shall go." I whisper.

That's the end of this chapter. If I tricked you at the start to making you think Hope was back I'm so sorry lol.
