Stiles's pov
I was driving my jeep at the highest speed it could handle but it wasn't fast enough. I was biting my nails. I couldn't believe that Scott hadn't told me. I knew he meant the best for me and didn't want me to worry. I knew that he was trying to give me some peace of mind, by being there for my dad and not telling me, since he knew I had really been stressed out after the issue with the dread doctors and also what had happened yesterday. I also knew Lydia too meant the best for me and I hadn't meant to shout at her. But they shouldn't have held it back from me. My dad needed me.

I reach the hospital at last and get out of the jeep and walk, almost run, towards the hospital's entrance. I almost fall on the way in but catch myself just in time. I see Melissa Mccall and immediately run toward her and shot questions toward her so quickly that even I couldn't process what I was actually saying.
"Is he alright? What happened? Can I see him now?"
"Stiles I need you to calm down, okay? He is alright but he is under some sedatives so you can't see him now."

Melissa turns her head and looks at Scott, who I hadn't noticed was standing there, for help. Scott comes over and and pulls me back and after a few minutes he actually manages to calm me down. I spent the rest of the day in the waiting room waiting for my dad to wake up. Scott went home a while ago making me promise I would call him if I needed anything.

I wait again for half an hour or so before Melissa tells me he was awake and wanted to see me.

I walk in to see my dad smiling at me. Oh God he looked so weak. "Dad...." I say, my voice cracking, barely audible. "Stiles, I am fine." My dad says seeing the tears rolling down my face. "What happened? Who did this to you?" I ask seeing the bandages across his chest.  "That is what I wanted to talk to you about. Now I want you to calm down and listen to me alright? This is really important." He tells me.

Upon seeing me nod he
continues,"Today morning we got a call to the Sheriff's office, it was a young girl and she sounded really scared and seemed to be crying. She told that she had come for a walk in the woods but some kind of animal, that she said looked like a bear, had attacked her. She had thrown some stones at it which was the only thing she could think of at the moment to do. She didn't know if the animal had left and was too scared to make her own way back home. She sounded really scared. I decided that I would handle the situation because animal attacks in beacon hills never turned out to be done by animals and I didn't want to get anyone else involved."

"I find the girl at the edge of the woods. I didn't see the animal anywhere and felt uneasy about it but my priority was to get her out of there as fast as I could. I was getting her into the car when I hear a sound of feet on dry leaves. I tell the girl to stay in the car and walk toward the noise slowly. I had my gun out. I see an approaching figure that didn't look like an animal at all. I walk towards the figure my gun pointed right at it's face. "Who's there?" I ask. And then I see her face Stiles. It was- It was your mother Stiles. It was Claudia."

"But how-" I begin but stop myself seeing the look on my father's face it was a look of pain.

"I was paralyzed. I couldn't move. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. She looked so.... beautiful. And then she opens her mouth and tells me that I had failed her. And she tells many other things which tears my heart to pieces. She was coming closer and closer and I still couldn't move. And then her eyes turn into a dark black color that looked did not look human. And claws grow on the end of her fingers. She looks at me right in the eye for one last time and slashes at me with her claws, telling me that I had let her die, that it was all my fault. I fall back, my head hits on the ground. Suddenly I hear a scream to my right and turn to the direction of the sound. It was the girl. When I turn back my head towards the- towards the thing, I realize that it wasn't Claudia who was standing there. It was a big black bear and it was coming at the girl. The girl screams once more and runs towards me. I yell at her to run but she wouldn't listen. She snatches my gun, that I had dropped without realizing, from the ground. She takes a shot at the bear."

"The bullet hits the bear's leg. I couldn't believe she had actually managed to hit her target. The animal growls at the girl and scurries away. I tell her that she had done a good job before blacking out. I can hear the girl yelling at me to hold on in the back of my mind but I couldn't focus. I have no idea how she did it but she manages to drag me to the car and take me to the hospital. I think she would make a really good Sheriff in the future."

I slowly process all that my dad had said in my mind. I open my mouth to speak but that is when Melissa opens the door interrupting me.

"I am so sorry Stiles but I am gonna have to ask you to leave. Your dad needs rest and sleep now."

"It's okay Mrs. Mccall. I understand." I tell her.

Before leaving I turn my head towards my dad once more and tell him."Whatever it is, we will take care of it. Leave it to us." And then I walk out of the hospital.

I am waiting for Scott to arrive in the front of the hospital. He should be here by now. I had called him a few minutes earlier and told him everything my dad had told me. He had said he will be here within a few minutes but it had almost been fifteen minutes since I had called him and it wasn't that much of a long drive from his house to the hospital.

At last I see Scott running towards me. "Where the hell were you?" I ask him "I thought I told you to come as fast as you can."

"Sorry," Scott says panting, "Had to run, bike wasn't working."

"You ran to the hospital?" I ask him, my eyebrows raised and he nods.

"Well, whatever" I say, "Did you get the bestiary?"

"Yeah, but no use. I checked it already and there is no creature that fits the descriptions."

"Then what will we do? We got no one to ask after Deaton and Derek left."

A few months ago Deaton had left beacon hills telling that he needed a break. It was really hard to live here with his guidance and now it was much worse. Derek had left long before that.

I sigh,"There is only one way left. There are only three people left in this town who can help with these kind of stuff."

Scott frowns at me, "Who?" He asks. And then realization crossed his face.

"No!" He says.
"Yes!" I say.
"No!"
"Yes!"

"No Stiles! We barely know anything about them and they already killed a boy within two days of arrival at this town. You are the one who has a problem with me trusting everyone!"

"Alright then! You got a better plan?"
I could see the growing frustration in his eyes. I could see that he really didn't trust these people. Obviously since they had broken his no killing policy.

"Scott," I say slowly. "We got no other way. What else can we do? If this creature is anything like my dad described it, something that could shift to various different shapes, we are in serious trouble. We don't know anything about the creature. But they might. And we need all the help we can get."

Scott agrees eventually.

We head our ways back home. Melissa had made me go back home telling me that I needed rest. She assured me that my father would have full care in the hospital. I felt really tired and wanted to go sleep.

I myself felt uneasy about the solution I had found. Scott was right. We barely knew them. And I really did not trust Percy Jackson. Well, what other choice did we have.
