Just Breathe

Chapter 38

Emma sat in her chair, where she once read books and drank tea. She looked pale compared to the grey walls that surrounded her. The white curtains that hung on the window behind her, fluttered as a cold breeze blew through the window. She had bags under her eyes. She starred at a space on the wall. Stiles stepped into the room, slowly, unsure of her state of sanity.

"Emma?" his voice quivered. Emma's eyes snapped towards them. She grinned as she watched the pack step into the room. She stood up as she walked towards them. She stood in front of them, wearing a large smile on her face.

"Hello" she greeted them. "As I am sure Stiles has informed you, things are going to change around here" she spoke as her self which scared the pack more. "Starting with this room" she said. "She has really bad taste. All of this is just too...good" she shivered. "Needs some redecorating" she smirked. Her hand reached down into her pocket, pulling out a small silver sphere. She threw it to Stiles who caught it in his hands. The pack gathered around it as they read the note that was attached to it.

Earlier that Day (where the last chapter left off)

Emma walked out of the house, slamming the door behind her. Everyone looked around, confused. "Where the hell is she going?" Allison asked. Derek resumed pacing. Everyone shivered, disturbed by Emma's warning. The tense silence was so thick you cut threw it with a knife.
"So is no one going to talk about?" Isaac asked, breaking the silence. "Emma, who was almost dead, who has been sending cryptic messages just walked down the stairs, shared that she did have knowledge about the Oni and then just left. Are we not going to discuss that?" Isaac asked in disbelief.

"I mean I don't know where she's going! She's probably look for Stiles or something" Scott shouted, defending himself. Derek tilted his head, something clicking together in his mind. The pack turned to him when he froze in mid pace, his gaze off into the distance. "Derek?" Scott asked. Derek looked to Scott, a worried look taking over his face.

"Stiles" Derek said. Scott scrunched his eyebrows together in confusion. "Its Stiles" he whispered, more to himself than the others.

"What's Stiles? Derek what is Stiles?" Isaac's voice trembled. Derek sat down on the edge of the couch, berrying his head in his hands.

"She was trying to warn us. She was always saying Stiles. She saw something" Derek's eyes darted back and forth as he put the pieces together. "Its Stiles" Derek repeated to himself. The pack members moved closer to Derek. Isaac laid a hand on Derek's back, snapping him back into reality. "Stiles is the nogitsune" Derek's voice shook. Everyone gasped.

"So its not Kira?" Scott asked. Kira stood behind Scott. Everyone had, had suspicions about Kira. But she wasn't the bad guy here. It was their very own Stiles.

"No its not Kira. She's a kitsune. Use your eyes" Derek muttered, still focusing on the issue of Void Stiles. Scott's eyes shifted into wolf form as he looked at Kira. Around her, a fox like armor surrounded her.

"Wait so we still don't know where Emma is going" Isaac said, worried about her. Derek stood up, facing his worried pack.

"She's going to the hospital to go get Stiles" Derek informed them. The more things clicked together, the more fear filled Derek.

"Well we got to follow her" Lydia said, standing up. The pack nodded, standing up.

"Um guys?" Kira whimpered. Everyone turned towards her. "I don't think that gonna happen tonight" she said pointing at the door. Behind the door, five Oni stand, about to attack.

Stiles's hand plunged into the oni's chest. Bright yellow light shone from where his hand had punctured the Oni's armor. All at once, the five oni disintegrated into the ground. Stiles pulled back his hand and opened it, revealing a crushed firefly. It struggled as it tried to cling to life. He shut his hand again, killing it completely. It suddenly occurred to Stiles what had happened. He was the nogitsune. He struggled against it, but Void was in charge now. All he could do was sit back and watch. He turned around as he heard a noise behind him. Emma stood, her eyes breaming with tears. Her hands remained at her sides, bunched into fists. "Hey Em" he smiled, void used her nickname that Stiles had always used. Stiles tried shouting to her. Tried to tell her that it wasn't him. But Void kept him silent, locked up in his own body.
