Up To Us // Teen Wolf Spin-Off

1.1.7

Maze Of Curiosity...

Allison was walking in the woods alone. After hearing voices, she needed to find the Nemeton and get some answers.

"Come on!" She shouted into the wind. Sal knew she found it once, but finding it again was a challenge. She squinted her eyes shut, hoping to hear voices that would lead her the way, except, it was completely silent. The brunette decided to relax and breathe. A voice hit her loud and calm.

It is now...

When she opened her eyes, she was in a basement of some kind. Allison started to feel her heartbeat quicken and tried to calm down. The room was empty except for a table and on it was a cylinder wooden box.

Being as curious as she was, Sal picked it up and put it in her bag. She didn't know how to get out of the room, the girl barely knew how she got in it. Ally closed her eyes and when she fluttered them open, she was in front of her old truck.

The teenager didn't want to question it too much. She drove home, unaware of her parents' idea. Scott, Malia, Stiles, and Lydia all came up with a plan to see if anything supernatural was going on. They went on a group phone call to discuss it.

"Tonight's a full moon... if anything, they're going to try to be together. We have to ground them from seeing each other for tonight only." Malia told the group.

"Knowing them, they'll get scared that they can't help and hopefully tell us why they need to be with each other," Scott said.

"Okay, I'm still waiting for Stiles to get home so we can check Allison's room," Lydia told the others.

"I'm in Roscoe, I'll be five minutes," Stiles said through the phone. Allison stopped driving. She started to think about everything that was happening. After all of this research she did, Sal knew about the oni and the nogitsune. The only issue was that the girl felt like some of the voices she heard... sounded familiar. Allison was staring down at the wooden cylinder.

"I'm not opening you." She said out loud, even though she was the only one in the truck. Stiles ran through the door and Lydia grabbed his hand, leading him into their daughter's room. They both glanced at each other and gave a nod of reassurance before Stiles opened the door. Lydia gasped and Stiles' jaw dropped. They saw sticky notes all over the floor in a maze. There were questions, riddles, statements, and printed out pictures of a nogitsune with the oni.

"Oh my God," Lydia said, barely above a whisper.

"What is it doing to her?" Stiles choked up, remembering the feeling his daughter is now going through. He took out his phone and started to take pictures. Lydia saw that all of the strings connected to one note on her wall.

"Stiles?"

"Yea?"

"Look." He turned to where his wife was pointing and saw one sticky note,

~ DON'T LET THEM IN!

"What are we gonna do?" Stiles asked.

"Call Scott," Lydia responded. The two adults backed out and closed the door. They walked down the stairs and as soon as they reached the bottom, the front door opened, revealing their daughter.

"We need to talk," Lydia stated. Allison nodded, hoping they wouldn't bring up yesterday.

"Look I'd love to! But I'm working on something in my room and I need to add to it." The girl quickly said, walking away. Her dad grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

"You're grounded after what you pulled today. Skipping school?" Stiles said, getting her attention.

"Here's my phone," she gave the device to her dad, but he shook his head and handed it back.

"You can't see Noah tonight." Lydia butted in.

"You can't do that. Not tonight, make it tomorrow! Just not tonight!" Their daughter pleaded.

"Fine. If you tell us what's so important that you need to see him tonight." Stiles suggested. Allison rolled her eyes.

"Fine. Okay. We were gonna have a Star Wars marathon, but I guess I'll cancel it." She lied through her teeth.

"Wise choice." Her mom said calmly. Allison walked up the stairs and texted Noah.

Allison- My parents just said I'm grounded!

Noah- Mine too, and I'm not allowed to see you tonight. The one night I specifically need you.

Allison- I'm not allowed to see you either, but we can still do this! We just need a plan.

Noah- Okay, like what? We're upstairs, we can't just jump out of the window!

Allison- True, but I have a bad idea ;)

Noah- Which is?

Allison- After dinner tell your mom and dad that you're gonna go to sleep early. Then make your pillows look like a body, shaped like you. I have a really long rope and a crazy idea! Go to the window.

Noah opened his window and Allison took the chains out of her bag.

"Grab on to one side and pull it all into your room. I won't be able to get across with the extra weight." The teen girl explained.

"What do you mean... get across?" Noah questioned, pulling the chains into his room.

"I'll text you after dinner." He smiled at her and they both closed their windows. Allison got back to work, adding everything that happened before she came home to the maze and placed the triskelion in the bottom drawer of her nightstand.
