Give your heart a break ~ Scott McCall

Echo House pt.2

3rd PERSON POV

Stiles was walking down the hallway, when he came across the door that he had seen while he was sleep walking. He figured that maybe, just maybe, that's where the answer to all his problems could be.

He tried to open the door, but it was locked. "What're you doing?" Oliver scared him. " I need to get through here, to the basement" he stated. " Doctors don't even have a key to this door. Only Brunski" Oliver gave him the information. " Is that the head orderly?" Stiles asked him.

" He's got keys to everything in here" Oliver added. " Does he keep them on him at all times?" Stiles asked again. " If you want them, probably gonna have to figure out a way to trick him" Oliver had ulterior motives, but obviously, Stiles didn't know that. " Well apart of me is getting really good at playing tricks" Stiles walked passed him as he was trying to find a way to get those keys.

ARIADNE'S POV

Allison opened the door to let Scott, and the rest of us in. " My father said that Katashi's evidence is being moved to federal lockup tonight. Probably within the next few hours" Allison informed us. " We're going to rob an armored car?" Ethan asked in disbelief.

" We're gonna try" Lydia said from beside Cora.

3rd PERSON POV

After the conversation he had with Morell, Stiles walked into the bathroom talking to himself. " Just stay awake, Stiles. Just stay awake" he repeated to himself ad he splashed water in his face. He looked in the mirror and saw Malia taking a shower, in the men's room.

" Don't worry, Stiles. You didn't just accidentally walk into the girls room" Malia responded to him. " Thank god" he cleared his throat. " Ok, so um, what're you doing in the boys room?" Stiles asked her as he turned away.

" Showering" she let out a short reply. " I can see that. Well, actually, I can't see anything. Too much steam. Not that I would want-" he rambled on. " Stiles, I don't care." Malia cut him off, " In the woods there was no boys and girls room. And if you really need to know, the water temperature in the girls room is too low. It's much hotter in here. Ever since I turned back to human, I just can't seem to get warm" she explained her reasons.

" Maybe you just have a low core temp. You might just be sick or something" Stiles suggested. " I used to have a fur coat" Malia reminded him. " It could be that" he agreed. She turned off the water and wrapped the towel around her body.

" Now you're staring" she teased. " I'm not" he shook his head, still not turning to face her. "What're you doing?" Stiles turned to see that the towel was fully wrapped. " I was wondering- I was wondering why you punched me?" He asked her. " Did you think I was gonna thank you?" She asked him in disbelief.

" I don't know. Maybe. We did kinda save your life" he reminded her. " You're right, Stiles. Thank you. Thanks for invading my home, for putting me on the run. For turning me back to human, so that I can look at my father everyday, and try to explain to him that the reason my sister and mother are dead is because I almost ate them on a full moon. Thank you so very much" She congratulated him sarcastically. Stiles was shocked to realize that Lydia was probably right, they did more bad than good.

" We were just trying to help" he said in a soft voice. It was hard to come back with anything after all the bad things that came out of turning her back. " You wanna help me? Find a way to change me back" Malia replied to him.

" You wanna go back? To being a coyote?" Stiles asked her. Malia noticed a look in his eyes and stepped forward, " what do you know?" She grabbed a fist full of his shirt. " I might know a few people who can teach you how to change" he was thinking about his friends, his pack.
