Melissa's POV

I finish up covering Stiles' wound when I hear a sniffle. I look up to see tears swelling in his eyes. "Stiles?"

He nods. I pull the tape off his mouth and his face changes. "Really Melissa? I shed one tear and that's all it takes? Come on now. You can't crumble that easy. How are you gonna hold up when the twins find out the truth? When they finds out why their father really left? You know I overheard it. You had no idea."

I look down at my feet. "You called Sheriff Stilinski right after. You didn't tell the twins but you told the sheriff. And Stiles heard it, like he hears everything. You know why he never told them? Because he knew that they would never forgive you. He knew how much they would hate you. Especially Scarlett. Oh, poor Scarlett. So much rage toward the wrong person."

I try to hold back the tears of my dead daughter. I flash back to Scott coming to the hospital and telling me Scarlett was dead. "This isn't you Stiles," is all I can say.

"It is now."

I recover his mouth and sigh. I look back at Scott. I can't hold it from him for long.

Okay, Teen Wolf troopers, I'm skipping everything in between. I'm gonna do a scene when Scott has an illusion of Allison and replace her with Scarlett. To make it more interesting....

Scott's POV

I find myself in my room. I look at my computer desk and see my sister sitting in her chair, reading a book. She turns and smiles at me. "Hey, Scott."

She gets up and gives me a hug. I don't hug her back. She pulls back and pouts at me. "What's wrong?"

"Scarlett, you're dead. I held you while you died. This...this isn't real."

I start to back up. I touch the doorknob of the room door, Scarlett screams at the top of her lungs.

I run out the door and end up in the same room I was in when I brought power back to the Nemeton with Scarlett, Stiles and Allison. I run to my left and run into Lydia. We look over and see Stiles and the nogitsune playing a Chinese game on to of the Nemeton. Sitting next to Stiles, is Scarlett. She isn't playing but she is focused on the board. None of them look up or even seem like they know of our presence. We walk toward them but it seems like we aren't going anywhere. We then start to run, still getting no where. "Stiles!" I call out. "Scarlett!"

"Stiles!" Lydia yells. "Stiles over here! Scarlett!"

The two continue to play their game, like we never made a sound. We try running again but stop to catch our breaths. "Stiles is part of your pack," Lydia says.

"What? What do you mean?"

"He's human but he's apart of the pack, right?"

"Yeah, of course."

"And Scarlett is an Alpha."

"Yes."

"So, how do wolves signal their location to the rest of the pack?"

I think for a second but shake my head. "No, I can't. I haven't ever howled without Scarlett. I don't think I can."

"Scott, this is your best friend and your sister. She would want you to do this, if it meant saving an innocent life."

I imagine her next to me, holding my hand, as I transform. I take a deep breath and howl. It echos through the room and makes it to Scarlett and Stiles. They look over at us and back at the nogitsune. Stiles throws all the game pieces off the board. The nogitsune roars in his face. I gasp awake, back in my house. I immediately pull my claws out of Lydia and Stiles' neck. "Did it work? Did it work!?"

I walk over to Stiles and he's slumped over. "What happened? Why didn't it work?" Lydia asks, blood dripping from her nose.

"Because it's not science, it's supernatural. I did my part. Now, give me the name," I hear Peter whisper to her.

"What name?" I ask. "What are you talking about?"

Peter pulls her to the side. She whispers something in his ear and made Stiles snap awake. Stiles begins to cough. He rips the tape from his mouth and begins to vomit a long strand of gauze bandage until there is a sizable pile on the floor. Suddenly, black smoke issues forth and a hand reaches out of the gauze. It appears to be the bandaged hand of the Nogitsune. Stiles watches in horror as the figure crawls out of the bandage covered floor until it is fully formed. The figure lunges forward. Me and Peter rush to hold him down but I sense. something. "Wait."

Removing the bandages from the creatures head, we find Stiles, the real Stiles, underneath. We then realize the Nogitsune, which also still looks like Stiles, has fled and taken Lydia with him. I hear the sounds of footsteps coming from down the stairs. When I look up, I see Scarlett. She looks so brand new. Her brown hair is fresh and curly. Her eyes are lighter than they were when she died. He cheeks are rosy and her lips are blood red. She's not wearing the same thing she died in. She's in a dress with a pleated skirt and heels.

Everyone in the room exchanges looks. "Will someone please tell me what's going on?" Scarlett asks.
