Chapter 16

Malia drops herself to the floor and sits down. Stiles joins her and she leans against him. They watched the other as they trained as well. Allison was practicing her marksman ship; Isaac and Scott were fighting each other. Kira and Lydia were talking about something but she didn't feel like listening in. Derek well he left a while ago but she couldn't remember why. The twins...actually she hadn't even seen them at all. Stiles stood up and extended her hand to her.

"Come on, lets go." he says,

Malia grabs his hands and he helps her up,

"Where are we going?" she asks,

"I have somethings in the jeep my dad needs. I said I'd drop them off. But you could stay here if you want."

"Oh no I wanna come with. I've always wanted to see where your father works."

"Scott see you tomorrow." shouts Stiles before he and Malia leave the room,

When they arrived at the station Malia barged in through the front door. The deputy at the front desk looked confused but when Stiles walked in with a box she nodded. He nodded back and gestured for Malia to follow him towards the back.

"Stiles what are you doing here? And what's that?" asks Parrish,

"This is just some old case files my dad had at home. I promised him I'd bring them back." says Stiles,

"Right."

Parrish takes the box out of his hand and walks over to the evidence locker,

"I didn't take them." shouts Stiles but he just hears Parrish snicker,

"Why would he think you took the files?" asks Malia,

"Let's just say my reputation with the station ain't exactly a good one."

"What does that mean?"

Malia glares at him and it seems he cracks a bit,

"Some deputies have caught me doing things here."

"Like..." she pries,

"Long story short, Isaac in cell on his first full moon, break-out by Derek, knocked out deputy, me in the middle of everything and then my dad with others showing up and finding me alone. With an empty cell,lights flashing and an unconscious deputy."

"And that's one of the many."

"Yea but I'm not going into detail."

Stiles grabbed Malia's hand and took her over to the Sheriff office. But on the way there Agent McCall blocked their path.

"What are you doing here Stiles? Shouldn't you be at home?"

"Right and shouldn't you be elsewhere in California right now." says Stiles,

"I decided to stay."

"That's...well that's great."

"Hello, confused coy...girl here." says Malia,

"Right um...Malia this is Rafael McCall, Scott's dad." says Stiles,

"Oh so he's the gene donor who's never been there and..." Malia was saying but Stiles cut her off,

"Yea all that now come on." he says grabbing her and pushing her towards his dad's office,

He knocks once and then opens the door to see his dad writing. John looked up and smiled at him and Malia. He puts down the pen and leans against his chair.

"Please tell me you didn't look through the files." says John as soon as the door closes behind them,

"I swear." says Stiles,

"Hi." chips in Malia,

"Hey Malia how's school?" asks John,

"Good I guess, Stiles has been a big help."

"He hasn't cheated on anything for you has he?"

"No and he never will."

"Right so what have you two been up to? I asked for the files after school. You're a few hours over schedule."

"We went down to Derek's loft for regularly schedule training." says Stiles,

"Oh for Malia but then you..." John was saying but Malia cut in,

"For both of us. Stiles still has his powers from the Nogitsune."

John froze and stared at Malia then Stiles. He hadn't actually told his dad about that yet cuz he was hoping to tell him later, when he had better control over it. Probably should have told Malia he hadn't told his dad for the sake of this not happening.

"Um...dad I was meaning to tell you but I never found..."

John put up his hand and Stiles mumbled a bit before shutting up.

"I still have things to do and we can discuss this later."

"Alright then I'll...we'll get going."

Stiles grabs Malia and opens the door pushing her out of the room and smiling back at his dad. Malia gets into the passenger seat of the jeep and waits for Stiles. He slams the door shuts and Malia jumps in her seat.

"Malia don't...don't mention these kind of things to others okay."

When he turns to look at Malia her eyes widen,

"Stiles your...your eyes..."

"What." says Stiles getting worried,

"Your eyes their completely white."

Stiles looked into the rearview mirror and sees what Malia was talking about. His eyes were white the pupil and irises completely gone. Besides the completely white eyes he saw himself outlined in black. He turned to Malia who was just as frighten as him. His breathing started to increase but he knew he needed to calm down or else he'd end up at the hospital again. He closed his eyes and took some deep breathes. When he opened them again he looked in the rearview and saw his brown eyes. Once Malia saw him she visibly relaxed.

"What the hell was that." she says,

"Your eyes glow blue mine's turn white." he says,

"Wait you knew about this."

"Yes it happened a few days ago. When I got out of the shower my eyes were white."

"And you haven't said anything to anyone because?"

"I wanted to get a better handle on it before I told you."

"Oh so you planned on telling me but what about Scott? Are you gonna tell him."

"No."

"What do you mean no."

"I...I can't tell him about this. He worries too much about me already."
