Chapter Forty-Three
🦊 Letharia Vulpina 🦊

Sawyer, Derek and Scott came running into the parking lot only for Sawyer to throw her arms out in front of the guys making them stop. Looking down, there was a giant puddle of water and the broken wire sat in the middle of it. The same thing Sawyer saw in her vision. 

They looked back up to see Kira standing in the water, unfazed as she grabbed the wire. They watched in shock and amazement as Kira covered the end of the wire with her fist, all the lights around them flickering as she absorbed the electricity. She opened her eyes, looking over at them with glowing orange eyes making Sawyer let out an impressed chuckle. 

When she dropped the wire, that's when Derek and Sawyer noticed Isaac lying in the puddle making them instantly run over to them, "Isaac?" Sawyer asked before she leaned towards him to listen for a second before looking at Derek alarmed. 

"He's not breathing... Hey Scott, he's not breathing!"

"Listen up! Anybody catches the slightest glimpse of Stilinski, you contact the first available teacher- got it? Got it??? There's a card on my desk for Isaac Lahey, and every one of you losers is not only going to sign it, you're gonna write a personal message so profound and deep, it's gonna bring a tear to Coach's eye! Who's first? Ah, Danny! That's how you do it, buddy! Keep it PG." Coach said to the cross country/lacrosse team in the locker room. 

"No Stiles, no demonic ninjas." Aiden said as he, Ethan, Scott, Sawyer and Anakin stood behind a row of lockers. "Things are getting too quiet." Ethan said and Scott nodded, "Yeah, I know... Yeah, it's making me nervous, too." 

Sawyer was about to say something but stopped when the guys all turned their heads, "Do you guys hear that?" Ethan asked, making Sawyer look at them confused. "Hear what?" Sawyer asked looking back and forth between each of them, "Hello? Person with no super hearing right here." 

"It's an emitter. One of Argent's." Scott answered. They all looked at each other confused for a second before walking out of the locker room. "It's coming from the basement." Ethan said and they instantly started running down to the basement. 

When they got down the stairs they looked around before freezing. At the end of the hall, Stiles turned around holding an emitter. "Okay, I know what you guys are thinking, but it's me. I swear to God, it's me." Stiles says, holding his hands up.  

The twins suddenly growled and charged forward, pushing Stiles into the wall. "Wait! Stop!" Scott yelled as he and Sawyer ran over and pulled them off of him. "I said stop!" Scott yelled as he tossed Ethan into a couple lockers. Aiden growled at Scott making Scott flash his red eyes and roar which made Aiden back off. 

It was quiet as Scott and Sawyer both turned to Stiles warily, "It's me, Scott, Sawyer. I swear it's me. I don't know where I've been the last two days, or what I've been doing, but this is me. I promise." Stiles said looking back and forth between them and Sawyer just squinted slightly at him as she heard a bunch of incoherent whispers. 

"You know what happened at the hospital?" Ethan asked, "I know more than that." Stiles said then moved to a bag and pulled out some blueprints. "You see this? It's a blueprint of the hospital's electrical wiring. You see all these markings in red." Stiles said and Sawher slowly crouched down next to him to look at it. "That's my handwriting. I know I did this. I caused the accident." Stiles said, making both Sawyer and Scott look at him, "And everything in this bag? It's all stuff that could be part of something bigger." 

"What the hell have you been up to?" Ethan asked, pulling out an electric saw, "I think it's something worse... A lot worse." 

They set the bag on a table and started pulling out various chains, ropes, tools, duck tape, and wire. "What the hell were you doing? Building a Terminator?" Aiden asked, looking at everything. "Thank you for that." Stiles said sarcastically. "Guys this is a map." Scott said, unfolding some paper.  

"Isn't that the cross-country trail?" Ethan asked, tracing his finger along a red line, "That's the Tate car- where Malia Tate's family died." Scott said glancing up at everyone, making Sawyer close her eyes and sigh, "You mean, that's where her father put a bunch of steel-jawed traps." Sawyer said slowly, glancing at everyone. 

🦊 

Stiles's jeep scratched to a halt as they pulled up to the start of the cross-country trail. "Coach!" Stiles said as they hopped out, "Stilinski!" Coach said, looking at Stiles in shock as they ran up to him. "Stay in here, Anakin." Sawyer said, rolling down the window to the jeep before getting out while Anakin laid down on the seat. "Coach, listen close-" Stiles said before starting to explain.  

After a moment, Stiles ran off, making Coach follow him and Aiden was about to but Sawyer grabbed his arm. "Keep a close eye on Stiles." Sawyer said in a slight whisper, making Aiden look at her confused. "Why? I thought right now it's him, not the Nogitsune." Aiden said and Sawyer shook her head slightly, "That's not my brother..." She said before they followed after them. 

"Scott! Stop, stop, stop! Everyone, stop!" Stiles yelled as he, Sawyer, Aiden and Coach ran up to where Scott and Kira stood, the rest of the team not far behind them. Stiles looked down before digging around in the leaves, pulling up the end of a chain. He pulled it up until all he got was just the other end and Coach started clapping.  

"Congratulations, Stilinski. You found a length of chain. Can somebody now please tell me what the hell's going on?" Coach asked as he walked a couple steps forward. Flashes of Coach getting shot by an arrow ran through Sawyer's mind, making her glanced around confused until she noticed a trip wire. 

"Coach!" She yelled right as he tripped it. Suddenly an arrow lodged its way into Coach's stomach making everyone gasp as he looked down. "Oh crap." He said before falling back making everyone instantly run over to him.  

"Get it out of me! Get it out of me!" Coach yelled as Sawyer pressed her hands around the base of the arrow putting pressure on Coach's wound. "Coach-" Stiles started to say, "Get it out of me!" Coach yelled as Scott and Aiden tried to hold him down.  

"Coach, we can't take it out until you get to the hospital or else you'll bleed out to death." Sawyer tried to tell him but he kept freaking out, "Oh, my God, I'm gonna die! Get it out of me! I'm gonna die!" Coach said and Sawyer sighed and rolled her eyes slightly, glancing over at Stiles. "Coach, you're not gonna die-" Stiles started to say but Coach cut him off, "I'm gonna die!" 

"It will hurt less if you stop moving, Coach-" 

"Get that thing out of me! AHHHHHH!" 

"Stay still, Coach. An ambulance is coming." 

"Get it out! I'm gonna die!" Coach yelled and Sawyer sighed, "Coach, you'll be fine." She said before looking at Scott who nodded slightly making her nod back then look at Aiden. "People need to move away." She said and he sat up, "Get back! Get back! Give him some room! Get back!" He yelled. 

Scott glanced at everyone before grabbing Coach's hand, groaning as he took away Coach's pain. As he did so, Coach's head fell to the side making the guys look at him wide eyes, "It's okay. He just passed out." Sawyer said, making Scott and Aiden sigh in relief.  

Sawyer glanced over at Stiles to see him staring down at her hands which was covered in Coach's blood that had seeped through her flannel. "Stiles." She said, making him look at her, "He's okay." She said and he shook his head slightly. "I could have killed him. I could have killed him, right? What if it was his head? Or his throat?" He said anxiously.  

"It wasn't- and he's going to be all right." She said and he just looked down while she looked at him wearily until Aiden spoke up. "I think I just heard an ambulance coming." He said, making Stiles sighed, glancing at Sawyer, "And my dad."  

🦊 

Sawyer and Anakin stood in between Scott and Stiles as they watched Deputy Parrish step into a school bus, decked out in HDT gear. Apparently, Stiles might have pulled a William Barrow and put a bomb in a school bus. 

"It's not a bomb sir, but there is something in the box..." Parrish said over the radio before walking over to the front of the bus, pressing a plaque that said "Sheriff Stilinski" on it. Realization slowly crossed Sawyer's features as she started to connect the dots.  

"Oh god. The bombs at the station."  

🦊 

Scott, Stiles, Sawyer and Anakin ran into the station to see it was a mess, pieces of wood, paper, glass and more littered the floor. Multiple officers hurt if not worse.  

Stiles instantly ran over to a Deputy that laid on the ground covered in blood. "Scott! Sawyer!" Stiles called out, making them run over to him and the deputy as Sawyer's eyes widened. "Can you do something? Take his pain? Anything to make it easier?" Stiles asked, making Scott look down at the Deputy before taking a deep breath. 

Scott grabbed the Deputy's hand and black veins trailed up his hand. The Deputy gasped softly before his eyes slowly closed and his chest stopped rising. Scott's eyes widened slightly as he let go of the man's hand while Stilinski lightly hit his kid's arms. 

"Go, go, go!" He yelled, making Sawyer sigh softly and grab Scott and Stiles' arm before pulling them up then grabbing Anakin's leash. They started to move away when Kira suddenly ran up to them, "The Oni- they're coming." She said. "Stiles, we gotta get you out of here." Scott said before they pulled him out of the station.  

They ran out of the station and into the jeep, almost instantly Stiles took off driving. "It's an animal clinic?" Kira asked and Sawyer nodded, "Yeah. The place is lined with mountain ash, just like Scott's house. It will buy us some time." She said. 

"But they can get through it?" Stiles asked and Scott nodded, "Eventually..." He said. "Nobody's got any better ideas?" Stiles asked and they just glanced at each other in silence making him nod, "Okay, sure. Animal clinic." 

They pulled up to the clinic and got out into the pouring rain and made a beeline for the back door but Scott stopped making everyone turn around. Slowly the oni appeared and started making their way toward the four of them. "Stiles! Get inside!" Scott said, tossing him the keys before turning around, growling. 

The oni charged forward, two of them at Scott and two at Sawyer. "Anakin, go to Stiles!" Sawyer said, letting go of Anakin's leash, making him run over to Stiles who quickly opened the door, letting Anakin run inside. 

They swung their ninjatōs at Sawyer, who quickly ducked, twisting around the Oni before kicking it in the back, making it stumble forward. She glanced over at Scott and Kira right as Kira managed to flip one over her shoulder. 

One of the oni quickly charged at Sawyer, swinging it's ninjatō making her eyes widen as she managed to grab it's arm. Her eyes clouded over and she heard a bunch of incoherent whispers as the Oni stared at her. Slowly, the Oni disappeared into a small cloud of black smoke, making her step back, watching in confusion. Stiles, who still stood at the door, watched the Oni disappear in curiosity. 

Sawyer glanced around right as an Oni stabbed its sword right through Scott making Kira cry out and kick the Oni away from him. Sawyer ran over and grabbed Scott before he could fall and Kira ran over to help. "Get him inside!" She yelled over the rain and Kira nodded. 

They ran into the animal clinic and into the examination room before leaning Scott against a table. "Anakin." Sawyer said, making Anakin run over to her and she grabbed his leash and patted him slightly. Kira went to pull the sword out of Scott but Stiles grabbed Kira's arm making her cry out in pain before he suddenly slammed her head into the table. 

"Stiles!" Sawyer yelled but before she could really do anything else, her brother turned to her and grabbed the side of her head before slamming it into the wall with an unbelievable amount of force. She cried out, falling to the floor, a cut on her forehead and everything around her felt fuzzy. Anakin ran over to her, licking her face slightly, making her groan softly as she grabbed her head. 

Stiles walked over to Scott and gripped the end of the sword making Scott let out a breath of pain. But instead of pulling it out, he started twisting it around making Scott cry out and groan in pain, "Does it hurt? Hey, look at me." 

"You should have done your reading, Scott. See, a Nogitsune feeds off chaos, strife, and pain. This morning, you took it from Isaac, then you took it from Coach, and then from a dying deputy. All that pain... You took it all." Stiles said, gripping the side of Scott's head, "Now, give it to me." 

Sawyer opened her eyes, holding her hand to her head before looking over as she grabbed Anakin. Black veins trailed from Scott's face to Stiles' hand making Stiles look like he was going through some sick form of pleasure. When it stopped he moved his hand and chuckled, "You really have to learn, Scott. You really have to learn not to trust a Fox. Mmm-mmm. Know why? 'Cause they're tricksters. They'll fool you. They'll fool everyone." 

"Not everyone." Deaton said, walking up making Stiles quickly look over at him. When he did, Deaton instantly stuck a syringe into Stiles' neck, making him groan in pain as Deaton injected whatever was in the syringe. He breathed out in pain before slowly falling to the ground. 

Deaton stood in front of Scott then quickly but carefully, ripped the sword out making Scott groan in pain. "What was that? Was that a cure? Is he okay?" Scott said, breathing heavily. "The Fox is poisoned... But, it's not dead. Not yet." Deaton said before moving to crouch down next to Sawyer and helping her sit up against the wall. 

He gently moved her hand away from her head to look at her bleeding forehead before he opened a nearby drawer, pulling out a towel, pressing it to her head then placed her hand back on the towel. "Hold it, make sure to have Melissa check on your head." He said and she sighed, slightly dazed, pressing the towel to her head as Anakin laid down across her lap. 

"I had a feeling he wasn't my brother..." She said in a slight mumble and Deaton sighed, "Always listen to your gut feeling, Sawyer."
