"What happened?" Scott asked.

"They disappeared. They literally just vanished." Allison said.

"And so did Stiles." Stilinski said

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Harlow and Scott walked into his room. Kira was staying in the guest room while Isaac was still at the hospital, as she didn't feel like going home after her mother had lied to her. Harlow decided to stay too to keep her company, but left to Scott's room after seeing Kira asleep.

"Thanks for letting Kira stay here." Harlow said.

"I could tell she didn't want to go home." Scott said." I can loan you a t-shirt if you want."

"I'm okay, Scott." Harlow said.

"Take the bed, I'll sleep in the chair." Scott said making Harlow look at him, before slowly walking over to lay on the bed, while Scott went and sat in the chair next to her.
"You okay?" He saw that she was worried.

"No, because of the Nogitsune, we might have to kill our best friend." Harlow said making Scott look at her sadly, before laying his head back trying to fall asleep.
"Scott?"

"Yeah." Scott said.

"Remember when you, me, and Stiles, would take the jeep and go on joy rides for hours. I remember how we were gone for almost 9 hours and got into so much trouble with our parents because they thought we got kidnapped." Harlow said, laughing at the memory.

"Yeah I remember that, my mom gave me the longest pep talk ever." Scott said, making Harlow turn to him smiling making Scott smile back.

"Come here." Harlow said patting the spot next to her on the bed, making Scott slowly get up to lay down next to her. Harlow and Scott just look at each other, as they laid very close, feeling each others breath on their face. Harlow noticed the look on his face, as he was thinking about what Harlow said earlier." We're going to save him." Scott just looks at her before moving to press his lips to her forehead before moving to wrap his arms around her, as Harlow puts her head on her chest. The two slowly falling asleep. Unaware of the firefly flying out Scott's window.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

"The couch- put him on the couch." Scott said as he and Aiden carried Stiles in, with Melissa, Harlow, Deaton and Lydia behind them.

"Guys, this is crazy. He needs to be in the hospital!" Melissa said.

"I don't think the hospital is the best place for him right." Harlow said." Remember what happened the last time he was there."
Deaton moved Stiles's shirt so they could get a better look.

"It doesn't look like he's bleeding." Deaton said."I think he might even be healing."

"You mean, healing like we heal?" Aiden asked.

"That's good, right?" Scott asked.

"For him, yes. For us, I'm no so sure." Deaton said.

"Well, if we're not going to kill him, why aren't we at least tying him down with really big chains?" Aiden asked.

"I might have something more effective." Deaton said, as he pulled out a small jar.
Scott and Aiden held Stiles mouth open, while Harlow held his head. Deatons pulls out the dropper before pouring. Skull drops into Stiles mouth. As Deaton finished Stiles's eyes shot open and wrapped his hand around Aiden's neck.

"Get him off me! Get him off me!" Aiden said. Scott and Harlow quickly pulled Stiles arm off Aiden as Stiles's hand started shaking,.

"Kanima venom... Nice touch." Stiles said.
Aiden growled at Stiles. "You know how they say that twins get a feeling when the other one's in pain? You didn't lose that power too, did you? Oh, I hope not! You're going to need it." making Aiden look over at Scott and Harlow. "Okay, I'll give a little hint- Ethan's at the school."

"Go." Scott said making Aiden run off.

"Oh, I hope he gets there in time. I like the twins- short tempers, homicidal compulsions... They're a lot more fun than you bakemono, trying to save the world every day." Stiles said.

"Doc you brought something to paralyze his body. You got anything for his mouth?" Melissa asked.

"Yes, I do." Deaton said, pulling out duct tape, placing one over Stiles's mouth. Stiles screamed through the tape.

"How much longer do you think we have?" Harlow asked.

"I wish I knew... But, if we don't figure out something soon, we're going to need to find a better place to keep him. I think we're grossly underestimating the danger here. He might be paralyzed, but it still feels like he's got us right in the palm of his hand..." Deaton said.

"But, the scroll said to "change his body..." Lydia said.

"That's if I translated it correctly. We're looking for a cure in something that might actually be nothing more than a proverb or a metaphor." Deaton said.

"And what if he doesn't want it?" Scott asked.

"Did he ever asked to be a Werewolf." Harlow asked.

"What if it saves his life?" Lydia asked.

"What if it kills him? I've never done this before. I mean, what if I bite him and accidentally hit an artery or something?" Scott asked

"The venom is not going to last long- something needs to be done sooner than later." Deaton said.

"We could call Derek?" Scott asked.

"I've tried calling Derek, he's not answering." Harlow said.

"Maybe we should call someone else..." Lydia said.

"No, you can't be serious?" Harlow asked.
A while later, Peter was here looking at Stiles.

"He doesn't look like he would survive a slap across the face, much less the bite of a Werewolf." Peter said.

"You don't think it would work?" Scott asked.

"This is more a war of the mind than the body. There are better methods to winning this battle." Peter said.

"What kind of methods?" Deaton asked.

"We're going to get into his head." Peter said, grabbing Scott's hand making his claws come out.

"So, do we have a plan?" Deaton asked.

"Scott is going to try and dig through pale and sickly Evil-Stiles' mind to unearth pale and sickly Real-Stiles. Then, guide him back from the depths of his own subconscious. But, he's not going to do it alone." Peter said.

"What do you mean?" Scott asked.

"Somebody needs to go in with you." Peter said. He slowly turns to look at Harlow.
"Stiles doesn't only have one best friend."

"So, what do we do if we find him?" Scott asked as Peter position his claws on the back of Stiles's neck. Harlow had sat next to Stiles as Peter guided Scotts claws to the back of her neck.

"You're going to have to guide him out somehow. Try to give him back control of his mind, his body." Peter said.

"Could you elaborate on the "somehow?" It's not feeling very specific at the moment." Lydia said.

"Improvise." Peter said.

"What if this is just another trick?" Scott asked.

"When are you people going to start trusting me?" Peter asked.

"He ment him." Harlow said pointing to Stiles.

"Oh." Peter said.

"Scott, we're running out of time." Deaton said. Scott took a deep breath, hiss eyes glowing red before sticking his claws into Stiles's and Harlow's necks making them gasp.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

In Stiles mind, Harlow and Scott look to see them strapped down in beds. Harlow and Scott glance at each other before pulling at the restraints trying to break free. Harlow closes her eyes before opening them as they glow blue. She continues to pull on the restraints finally breaking free making Scott look at her.

"break free." Harlow said. Scott just continues to look at her." Scott you are a supernatural being with supernatural strength, break free." as her eyes continued to glow blue. Scott's closes his eyes before pulling the restraints breaking them.

"What now?" Scott asked.

"I have no idea." Harlow said, before slowly looking to see a door. She walks towards it with Scott behind her. Harlow opens the door allowing her and Scott to leave.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Harlow opens her eyes to no longer see Scott with her. She looks to see herself in a hallway at School. She hears a loud clawing sound making her turn to see the Nogitsune running its claws across the lockers making her run away. As she runs she trips over something making her fall down. She looks up to see herself dead on the floor in front of her, making Harlow release a loud scream, only to hear Peters voice echo her name. Getting up, she runs before seeing the school doors at the end making her run faster as the Nogitsune was right behind her. Getting closer she opens the doors running into a white room to see Scott next to her. They both turn to see the Nogitsune and Stiles playing a game on top of the Nemeton. The two slowly start running towards them but barely see themself making any progress.

"Stiles! Stiles!" Harlow yelled. But he didn't budge, it was like Stiles couldn't hear her.
Suddenly something lit up in Harlow as she looks at Scott in realization." Stiles is part of the pack."

"What? What do you mean?" Scott asked.

"Even though he's human, he's still apart of the pack." Harlow said.

"Yeah, of course." Scott said.

"Now how would wolves send their signal to the rest of the pack?" Harlow asked. Harlow smirks as the Nogitsune looks at them. Scott looks up as he shifts and his eyes glowing a bright red.

"They howl." Scott said before roaring. Once Scott stopped, Stiles look over to see Harlow and Scott. His two best friends here to save him. Stiles looks at the game before using his jams to throw all the pieces away, making the Nogitsune roar.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Scott's eyes snap open as he removes his claws as Stiles and Harlow take deep breaths.

"Did it work? Did it work???" Scott asked running over to Stiles.

"What happened? Why didn't it work?" Lydia asked, before Peter grabbed her arm dragging her away. 

"Because it's not science it's supernatural. Now Lydia, I did my part. Now, give me the name." Peter said.

"What name?" Scott asked." What are you talking about."

"I already gave you a name." Lydia said.

"Yeah to one of them. Lydia a deal is a deal. Even to me." Peter said." I know there's another, so don't lie to me." Lydia just looks at him, realizing she has to tell him. She slowly leans in closer to his head.

"HARLOW." Lydia said, in a whisper which echos in Peters ear. His eyes widen before looking over to Harlow who wasn't paying attention at all, as all she could do was stare at her best friend. Stiles suddenly woke up,  ripping the tape off his mouth before slowly pulling a long thing of gauze out of his mouth, falling to the floor. Black smoke started coming off the pile of gauze and a hand started reaching out from it. Until eventually a whole body started coming out. It started coming towards them making Scott and Peter grab it and push it down to the floor while Deaton and Harlow stood in front of Melissa and Lydia.

"Hold him!" Peter said.

"I'm trying!" Scott said.  "Wait, wait wait!" He slowly reached out and started pulling the gauze away until revealing Stiles.

"Scott?" Stiles asked.

"Scott." Deaton said making Scott turn around. Deaton and Melissa moved to the side to show the wide open front door. Void Stiles was missing and so was Lydia. Harlow's eyes widen.

"Where are they? Where are they?!" Harlow yelled, running over to the door.
"LYDIA!" Scott goes and runs after Harlow.
