"Family Ties"

Please enjoy and review!

Waking up that morning, Stiles found that her cell phone had been flooded with messages from Malia who was already missing her.

Scott and Lydia were also texting her, asking why she didn't tell them she was moving and begging her to answer them, but she decided not to.

They didn't even come to visit her while she was in Beacon Hills and now that she was gone, they wanted to speak with her?

No, she wasn't going to deal with this.

She had put up with plenty of crap from Lydia and Scott, including putting her life on the line to save them, but she wasn't going through any of that ever again.

Deleting their messages, Stiles responded to Malia, telling her about the party her friends had thrown for her before she went off to take a shower and dressed into a pair of jeans and a yellow spaghetti strapped top with a heart shaped neckline before she worked on pulling the brush through her hair.

After she did that and found her favorite strawberry lip balm, she looked through her boxes and found a gold crescent moon shaped necklace that had a tiny pink topaz gemstone attached to it.

The necklace belonged to her mother and, along with the jeep, it was one of the only things that she kept before her father packed everything up and had it stored away.

Hooking the necklace around her neck, Stiles then made her way downstairs and started working on breakfast, the scent of the pancakes and bacon luring the rest of the members of the house downstairs.

"Finally! I've been looking forward to this." Jeremy grinned as he sat down at the table eagerly.

Laughing at that, stiles placed a plate filled with pancakes and bacon down in front of the boy along with a mug of coffee.

"Oh, that smells so good." Elena moaned happily.

"Is that fresh coffee?" Jenna asked as she rushed over to the coffee pot.

Laughing at how everyone nearly devoured their breakfast, Stiles sat down at the table with her own plate filled with food and poured the maple syrup over it, smiling as she did so.

Finally she was having a happy and normal family breakfast and wasn't worrying about anyone dying or going missing.

"Oh, hey, Stiles. The Founders Day party is coming up. I think the two of us should go shopping and find you a dress for it." Elena brought up.

With that being said, Stiles was reminded that Mystic Falls held many different events every year and knew that this year was going to have the most celebrations since it was the 150th birthday of the town being founded.

There was going to be the Miss Mystic Falls ball, the parade, the various decade dances at school and the masquerade event that the mayor would be holding.

If anything could be said about Tyler's family, it was that they loved throwing parties.

"Do I have to go?" Stiles whined.

"Sorry sweetie, but you are a member of the Gilberts, one of the Founding Families. You have no choice but to go, especially if Carol Lockwood hears you're back in town." Jenna told her.

Groaning loudly at this, Stiles stuffed a piece of bacon in her mouth, pouting as she did so while Jeremy smirked at her misery.

After eating and washing their dishes, everyone started rushing off to work and to school.

Jeremy and Elena climbed into Stiles' jeep and the girl drove them all off to the school, choosing a parking space in front of the building and the three brunettes all climbed out.

The second Stiles climbed out of the jeep, she tackled into a hug by Caroline.

"Finally, I was wondering when you'd show up. Come on, we have to go get your class schedule, show you to your locker and then I'll show you to your first class. Come on." Caroline grinned as she pulled Stiles off.

"Nice seeing you, too." Elena called and scoffed in amusement.

Laughing at this, Jeremy walked off to where his friends were and Elena went off in search of Bonnie while Caroline dragged Stiles off to the office.

Grabbing her time table for class, Stiles then made her way to her locker, being greeted by everyone she recognized from when she used to visit Mystic Falls when she was younger.

Locating her locker, Stiles found that it was beside Stefan's and the green eyed boy looked up the second he heard her approaching him which made her tense up and automatically think of the werewolves back home, but she shook the thought off.

"Hey, looks like we're locker neighbors." She greeted with a grin.

"Seems like it. Look, about last night, I'm sorry if my brother bothered you. He has a habit of always butting into everyone's business, including the people I try to make friends with." Stefan said.

"It's fine, I get it. Your brother is the lame guy who can't make friends his own age, so he hangs out with teenagers. It's cool. We used to have someone like that back in my town. Only he didn't have a friendly and outgoing personality like Damon does. He's actually kind of an alpha male jerk." Stiles shrugged.

Gaining an amused look at this, Stefan pulled out his books and Stiles worked on memorizing her combination before she opened her locker and placed her bag inside.

"So, do you need help finding your classes?" Stefan asked.

"Nah, I have Caroline waiting on me." Stiles gestured to where the bubbly blonde was standing, speaking with Tyler.

"Okay. Then I guess I'll see you around." Stefan nodded politely.

"Sure." Stiles said before walking over to where Caroline and Tyler were standing.

Tyler wrapped an arm around Stiles' shoulders and the trio started walking off while Caroline read over Stiles' time table.

"Care, why the hell are you wearing a scarf? It's like, 70 degrees out. Seriously, I've already had this conversation once with one curly blond person." Stiles commented.

It always annoyed her that Isaac Lahey would walk around wearing a scarf when it was warm outside.

She knew that werewolves could withstand plenty of things, but she doubted they would be able to deal with heat stroke.

"Because I'm starting a new fashion statement and it includes pairing off a cute scarf with an outfit." Caroline smiled.

"I will never understand girls and fashion." Tyler shook his head.

"I'm a girl and I don't understand it." Stiles scoffed.

"You two are so boring. Come on, let's hurry. Don't want to get detention on your first day." Caroline teased.

"Oh my god. I just realized something. I'm never going to have Harris or Finstock as my teachers ever again. Whoo hoo!" Stiles cheered.

Tyler laughed at that and yelped when Stiles jumped onto his back, but he allowed her to hang on as he started carrying her off to class with a giggling Caroline following after them.

"Out of the way. New girl coming through." Tyler said as he passed by Matt who laughed at the sight.

"She's been here for two days and she already has you doing whatever she wants." Matt teased.

"Hey, this is just me working out. What kind of jock would I be if I couldn't easily lift and carry a 145 pound girl?" Tyler shrugged.

"A weak one." Caroline chirped.

Matt grinned at this and the group continued on to their class, Tyler dropping Stiles down onto her feet so she and Matt could walk into the history room together, finding Elena, Bonnie and Stefan already inside.

"Stiles, come sit here!" Elena called as she patted the desk beside her.

Grinning over at her cousin, Stiles walked over and sat down in the desk beside her and pulled out her journal as the history teacher walked into the room to begin the class.

The day passed by quickly and Stiles enjoyed her day with her friends, catching up on everything that had gone on and she became suspicious when she heard of the death of the previous history teacher/football coach Mr. Tanner, but shook it off.

She didn't want to believe that the man was killed by a supernatural creature and hoped that it was actually a wild animal that did it.

The end of the day arrived soon and Elena took Stiles off to the boutique with her to search for dresses to wear for the Founders Party.

After searching and being forced to try on multiple dresses, Stiles finally settled on a sleeveless red dress that had a skirt that flared out around her hips.

It was more of a cutesy dress than a sexy one and Stiles was perfectly fine with that since she didn't have anyone she planned on impressing.

(The next day...)

Pulling on a pink spaghetti strapped top, jean shorts and a black hoodie, Stiles made her way downstairs and found Elena and Jenna in the kitchen watching the news.

"To repeat, the animal terrorizing Mystic Falls has been caught." The male reporter said.

"Scum ball. Scum bucket." Jenna hissed.

"Who are you talking to?" Elena asked.

"Him. The news guy, also known as Logan "Scum" Fell." Jenna glared at the TV screen.

"Logan Fell? I remember him! He used to babysit me and Caroline when Dad and Liz worked on cases together. He was awesome." Stiles grinned.

Jenna sent a sharp glare over at Stiles who froze at the expression while Elena bit her lip, looking amused.

"Was awesome. Past tense. No way he's still awesome. Not at all. So, uh, why do you hate this guy again?" Stiles questioned.

"Did my sister never tell you two why I moved away from Mystic Falls?" Jenna asked.

"Oh, no way. You and him? He's cute." Elena commented.

"He is not cute. There's nothing cute about him." Jenna protested as she turned off the TV.

"Oh, I understand you. Guys who break your heart are no longer attractive." Stiles huffed as she grabbed a cup of coffee.

"Stiles, did someone break your heart?" Jenna asked as she and Elena took an interest in this.

"Yeah. I mean, we never dated, but I honestly thought there were feeling growing between us. But then he had sex with my English teacher who turned out to be a complete and total psychopath!" Stiles growled as her grip tightened on the mug.

If she still had the Nogitsune possessing her, the windows would all shatter and the light bulbs would explode in response to her anger.

"I honestly thought we could at least be friends, but now all I wanna do is chop his head off and burn his body." Stiles said.

"Hey, I'll find a few axes and we can do that to your guy and Logan." Jenna offered.

Elena laughed at that and sat down at the table with a box filled with various antiques that belonged to the Gilbert family which caught the attention of the other two females.

"What cha doing with all that stuff?" Stiles asked as she sat down beside her cousin.

"I went yesterday and got it from the safe deposit box. Mom had told Mrs. Lockwood she would loan it to the Founder's Council for their heritage display." Elena explained.

"Is that Grandma Beth's wedding ring?" Jenna asked as she picked up the ring.

"Originally it was great-great-grandma Mary's wedding ring." Elena said.

Looking through the box, Stiles spotted a pocket watch and grinned at the sight of it as she picked it up and looked it over.

"I remember this pocket watch. Uncle John told me stories about it. He said that an ancestor of our created as a way to keep away evil." Stiles said as Jeremy walked into the kitchen.

"You're joking." Jeremy scoffed.

"No, really. The original Jonathan Gilbert created this pocket watch so that the needle would point to anyone or anything dangerous." Stiles explained.

"Cool, let's try it on the math teacher. See if it'll work." Jeremy joked making Stiles snicker.

"Think again." Elena said as she took the watch out of Stiles' hands.

"That stuff is Mom and Dad's. You can't just give it away." Jeremy told her.

"I'm not giving it away. It's called a loan, Jeremy." Elena told him.

The doorbell then rang and Elena stood up to go see who was there.

When no one was looking, Jeremy grabbed the pocket watch and fled up to his room.

Stiles had seen him do it, but she didn't comment.

She knew how important the pocket watch was.

It was meant to be passed down to the first born male of the Gilbert family and Grayson was going to give it to Jeremy when he was old enough to take care of it.

Hearing her cell phone ringing, stiles pulled it out of her pocket and smiled at the sight of Malia's face on the screen while Elena and Stefan rushed upstairs.

"Hey, Malia. What's up?" Stiles greeted.

"I was bored and really wanted to hear your voice. Also, I need your help with this stupid history homework. I'm not getting it." Malia huffed in frustration.

Laughing at that, Stiles stood up and walked up to her room.

"Malia, the answers are all in the history book. All you have to do is read it." Stiles told her.

"Yeah, I know, but study was much more when and easier when I had you around. Anyway, I can't deal with this anymore. Tell me what you're doing right now." Malia insisted.

"There's a town party tonight. The mayor holds it every year. Only members of the town's Founding Families, my family being one of them, have to attend. Meaning, I'm getting a makeover and forced into a dress tonight." Stiles huffed.

Malia laughed at that and Stiles could hear her moving around on her bed.

Walking into her own room, Stiles sat down on her bed.

"What is your issue with dresses anyway?" Malia asked.

"The last time I wore a dress, your birth father tried to kill everyone and tried to turn me into, not just a werewolf, but his mate." Stiles stated.

"His mate? How do you know that?" Malia questioned.

"I read it up. When a werewolf bites you on your wrist, they're claiming you as their mate." Stiles revealed.

"I can't really blame him. I'd definitely want you as my mate." Malia said.

Stiles laughed at that and Elena soon walked into her bedroom, smiling at the sight of her cousin acting like an ordinary teenage girl, lying on the bed while talking on the phone with her friend.

"Uh, hang on a minute, Malia. What's up, Laney?" Stiles asked.

"Bonnie's going to be over in twenty minutes so we can get ready for the party." Elena told her.

"Great and let me guess. Bonnie and I are going to be each other's dates because you and Caroline are taking the Salvatore brothers as your dates." Stiles guessed.

"Yep, pretty much." Elena grinned as she pulled out the red dress and some of the makeup that Stiles had.

The brunette wasn't a girly girl, but she did buy some makeup for any parties or school dances she went to.

"Are we seriously starting the whole makeover thing now?" Stiles whined making Malia laugh on the other side of the phone.

"Yes. Do you have any idea how long it takes to do your hair?" Elena asked.

"Well, if it's such a huge issue, maybe I should just cut it. Give myself a pixie do." Stiles chirped.

She was startled by the sound of Malia growling loudly on the phone.

"Don't you dare! I love your long hair." The werecoyote warned.

"Okay, geez, I won't cut it." Stiles rolled her eyes while Elena laughed.

"Come on; let's get started on curling it." Elena said to her.

"Gotta go, Malia. Talk to you later." Stiles said.

"Have fun tonight." Malia chirped.

Hanging up, Stiles allowed Elena to drag her up so they could get started on their makeovers for the night.

Bonnie soon arrived to find Elena was still curling Stiles hair, so the dark skinned girl looked over the nail polish bottles and grabbed a crimson red so she could paint the girl's nails.

After a short while, Stiles hair and nails were done and the girl was looking herself over in the mirror, playing with the curls.

"Stop that." Bonnie scolded as she slapped her hair away.

"I don't like it when you guys curl my hair. Seeing the steam rising off of it creeps me out." Stiles shivered.

Then again, she was forced to hold down Scott while Derek used a blow torch to give him a tattoo, so she supposed she shouldn't be bothered by her hair being burned.

Rolling her eyes at this, Bonnie grabbed two different nail polish bottles and held them up for Elena to look over.

"Delicate flower vs. Naughty vixen." Bonnie said.

At the word vixen, Stiles tensed up and tried to force away memories of the Nogitsune.

She wasn't going to allow every little thing to settle her because of that damn fox.

"Tough call. Can we mix them?" Elena asked.

"Look at you, getting all pretty for your date. You seem happyish." Bonnie commented.

"I am...ish. Tonight's going to be a good night. But don't let that stop you from telling me whatever it is you wanted to tell me as soon as you walked in the door." Elena said as she gave the black haired girl a look.

"What if I tell you in the morning? I don't want to ruin the night." Bonnie told her.

"Bonnie, out with it." Elena ordered.

"Okay, but it has to go in the vault, because Caroline will kill me if it gets back to Damon that she squealed. Apparently, Stefan has a very interesting back story." Bonnie said as she sat down with Elena.

"Ooh, this sounds juicy. Do tell." Stiles grinned as she jumped into her seat.

"Uh huh." Elena said in a tone for Bonnie to elaborate.

"Do you know what happened with his ex-girlfriend Katherine?" Bonnie asked.

Stiles gained a confused expression as she remembered how Damon had called her Katherine when they first met, mistaking her for another girl.

"I know that they both dated her and that's why they have issues." Elena said.

"They dated the same girl? Seriously?" Stiles broke in.

"Yeah, they both dated her, only she chose Damon and that drove Stefan mad. He did horrible things to try and break them up. He manipulated Katherine; he filled her head with all these lies until finally it worked and she turned against Damon." Bonnie reported.

"That sounds like one person's side of the story, meaning Damon's." Elena stated.

"Yeah and how do we know that the person who manipulated anyone wasn't Katherine? Maybe she wanted to date both brothers and told them lies to turn on each other when she got caught?" Stiles suggested.

"I just wanted you to know." Bonnie said feeling worried over who her friend was now dating.

"Anyway, his past relationships are none of my business." Elena shook her head.

"Unless he's a calculating, manipulative liar that is your business." Bonnie countered.

"Stefan is none of those things." Elena denied.

"Um, Laney, how would you know that? I mean, what do you really know about him? Stefan seems like a nice guy, but we don't really know him that well." Stiles shrugged.

Elena went silent at that and started thinking over everything she knew about Stefan, hoping he was a good person and could be trusted.

The girls all then got dressed for the party and drove off to the Lockwood mansion, Bonnie and Stiles walking up to the door arm in arm to greet Carol and Richard Lockwood.

"Stiles! Oh, it's so good to see you again!" Carol cooed when she spotted the girl.

"Hi, Carol, Mr. Mayor." Stiles greeted as she was pulled into a hug.

"It's wonderful to see you again. Too bad Noah couldn't come." Richard commented.

"Yeah, well, things have been insane back home. Dad's been working hard to keep things in order." Stiles said as she patted Carol's back.

"Maybe next time." Richard relented.

"You look so beautiful, Stiles. So much like your mother. And Bonnie, you look just perfect." Carol complimented.

"Thanks, Mrs. Lockwood, you look very pretty, too." Bonnie smiled.

"Go on in, girls, and have some fun." Richard gestured.

"Thanks." Stiles chirped as the two girls walked inside the party.

"I swear, those two just love you. I think they want to adopt you." Bonnie commented.

"What can I say? I'm just loveable!" Stiles grinned as the two girls laughed.

Walking around the party, the girls greeted various members there and Stiles walked off to find something to eat while Bonnie spoke with an attractive male.

Making her way around the party, Stiles was soon blocked off from her path by Damon who grinned at her and held up a flute of champagne.

"Hello, again." He greeted.

"Damon. Where's Caroline?" Stiles asked.

"Oh, she dragged my brother off to dance with her. Stefan's always been the better dancer of us; he learned how to do it all. The robot, the jitter bug. He can be really wild at parties, especially when he's drunk." Damon said.

"Nice to know. Anyway, I'm looking for the food. I'm starving." Stiles said as she tried to step around the man.

"Great, I'll come with you. I could go for a bite." Damon grinned.

Not saying anything, Stiles simply grinned and walked off with Damon following her, feeling wary of the man.

There was something about him that put her on edge.

"So, just out of curiosity, why did you think I was your ex-girlfriend?" Stiles asked.

"What?" Damon frowned.

"Katherine. I heard from Elena that you and Stefan dated this Katherine chick and it ended badly. Why did you think I was her?" Stiles asked when they arrived to the refreshment table.

"Because you look a lot like her. Tall, olive skin, brown eyes, dark curly hair. She also loved the color red." Damon said.

"Really? Guess that means I can't curl my hair ever again. Too much work." Stiles shrugged as she grabbed a piece of cake.

"But you look great with curly hair. Also, you are gorgeous in red." Damon smirked.

"I guess I must've looked magnificent in the blood of the people I killed." Stiles mumbled to herself without meaning to.

"What was that?" Damon asked frowning at her.

"Huh? Nothing, it was nothing. Ignore me. I talk to myself sometimes. No issue." Stiles forced a grin as she started eating.

Damon gave her a curious look and stood in front of her so that he had her full attention, his gaze meeting her own dead on.

"Tell me what you meant." He demanded.

Staring into his eyes, Stiles noticed that his pupils were growing and shrinking within seconds which made her frown at the sight, wondering what was wrong with them.

"Dude you need to get your eyes checked. There's something wrong with them." Stiles blurted out.

Shocked by this, Damon blinked himself out of the small trance he had gone into, reminding Stiles of the Jungle book when the snake tried to hypnotize the little boy.

"Not that they're not nice or anything, but they were doing this mega weird thing. You should get them checked out." Stiles told him.

"Right. I'll keep that in mind. Excuse me. I should go find Caroline." Damon said before walking off.

Thinking she may have offended him, Stiles simply shrugged, knowing that it wouldn't be the first time she had done that and continued enjoying her cake.

A little while later, Stiles made her way into the bathroom to use it and reapply her lipstick before spending a little more time at the party and then she would take off and crawl into bed.

While she was slicking the red lipstick onto her lips, she found Caroline walking inside and the blonde joined her.

"Hey, I haven't seen you all night." Stiles greeted.

"Sorry, Damon's been keeping me busy." Caroline grinned as she pulled a lip gloss tube out of her makeup bag.

"And you were hiding from your mom." Stiles stated.

"Duh. Mom would freak if she saw me dating someone Damon's age." Caroline scoffed.

Stiles chuckled at that and went to put her lipstick back into her purse when she noticed something as Caroline leaned over the sink.

There was a large bruise under the blonde's shrug and it put Stiles on alert.

"What is that?" Stiles pointed.

"Hmm?" Caroline stood up.

Grabbing at Caroline's shrug, Stiles pulled it up which made the girl jump and slap her hand away.

"Don't!" Caroline begged.

Ignoring her protests, Stiles pulled the shrug up and revealed the multiple bite marks and bruises that littered Caroline's back.

Grabbing the scarf, Stiles ripped it off and revealed the fresh wound that seemed to be bleeding a bit.

"Caroline, what the hell are these? What happened to you?" Stiles demanded.

"Nothing! Nothing, okay!" Caroline yelled as she grabbed her scarf and tied it back around her neck.

"This is not nothing. Someone is hurting you and I want to know who and why." Stiles ordered.

She was feeling the leftover darkness and desire to cause pain from the Nogitsune building up, demanding she find the person responsible for hurting her friend and kill them.

"It's nothing, all right, it's just...my mom would kill me." Caroline tried to play it off as nothing major.

"Damon. Did Damon do this to you? I swear to god, Caroline, tell me. Tell me and I'll deal with him. Hell, if you want, I'll even kill him." Stiles said.

If only Caroline knew how serious Stiles really was about that.

"No, he's not doing this! Just leave me alone, okay, Stiles?" Caroline huffed as she fled from the room.

Glaring in absolute hatred, Stiles left the bathroom, searching for Damon.

While she walked through the party, she found a knife on one of the tables and grabbed it, hiding it in her purse before continuing her search for the dark haired man.

Finding him speaking with one of the people at the party, she stormed over.

"Hey, Damon. Can I talk to you for a second?" Stiles requested putting on a fake smile.

"Sure. Excuse us." Damon smirked.

He easily followed Stiles through the crowd, both of them entering am empty room.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" Damon asked.

He then grunted in pain when he felt a knife being stabbed into his stomach and he glanced down to find Stiles' hand attached to it.

"I saw Caroline. She has bruises and bite marks all over her body. She tried to deny it, but I knew it was you. The funny thing is, those bites were far too deep to come from a human." Stiles said.

She then twisted the knife making Damon groan as he wondered how he ended up in this situation.

"I don't care what you are, but know this. I don't like it when someone hurts the people I care about. I have blood on my hands and I will gladly add yours if you ever hurt Caroline again. Stay away from her or I will kill you and I know how to make it feel like agony." Stiles threatened.

With that said, she took the knife out and stabbed it into Damon's side making him cry out as she then turned on her heel and stormed out of the room.

Wandering around the party, Stiles soon found Elena and Stefan together and ran over to them.

Sniffing at the air, Stefan turned and spotted Stiles who had blood on her hand.

"Elena, bad news." Stiles announced.

"What's wrong?" Elena asked.

"Damon has been hurting Caroline." Stiles exclaimed.

"What?" Elena gasped while Stefan shifted nervously.

"She has these bite marks and bruises all over her back and neck. She tried to hide them and deny anything was wrong. He's doing things to her and is messing with her head." Stiles said.

"Oh my god." Elena gasped in horror.

Turning to look at Stefan, she found he wasn't at all shocked by the news that had been given to them.

"You don't look surprised." Elena commented.

"Um...I'm handling it." Stefan said.

"Handling it? Stefan, you should have him arrested." Elena exclaimed.

"Elena, please. I-I don't expect you to understand." Stefan told her.

"I don't understand anything, Stefan. So why don't you just clear it up for me?" Elena demanded.

"Look, there are things that you don't know, okay? Things that I want to tell you, but I can't. And I may never be able to. And I just need you to trust me." Stefan begged.

"Trust is earned. I can't just hand it over." Elena shook her head.

"Elena, go find Bonnie. I want you two to find Caroline and get her home now." Stiles said.

"Right." Elena nodded.

She then walked off to find Bonnie and Caroline, leaving Stefan and Stiles alone.

"What the hell are you two?" Stiles demanded as she rounded on Stefan.

"What do you mean?" Stefan asked looking worried.

"Those bites are normal. They weren't caused by a human and they weren't by an animal. I've been in a town that had supernatural disasters happening. I moved here to get away from it all. And now I find two new creatures in town, hunting down my friends." Stiles glared.

"I'm not hurting anyone. Stiles, I swear to you, I don't want to hurt anyone. I just wanted to come here for a fresh start, just like you, but I can't because Damon followed me. I told him to stay away, but he's stronger than I am. Telling Damon not to do something is like giving him permission to do it anyway." Stefan explained.

"So, what? We just have to stand back and let him hurt people? Let him kill people? Like Tanner? He killed Tanner and those campers, didn't he?" Stiles realized.

"Yes, he did. But I'm handling it. Look, Zach and I have a plan. We're going to stop him. But I need you and Elena to stay out of it for your own protection. After tonight, I promise you, Damon will no longer be a problem." Stefan swore.

"He better not be or else, I won't just kill him." Stiles warned.

Staring into the girl's eyes and noticing the look inside of them, Stefan realized that she was serious.

She had the look in her eyes on someone who had been forced to kill before.

"Understood." Stefan nodded.

He then took off in search of Damon, leaving Stiles alone to try and shove back the dark temptations that would forever linger thanks to the Nogitsune.

By the end of the night, Caroline was found lying on the ground and bleeding, then taken back home by her friends and Stefan had dragged a drugged Damon somewhere away from the others.

As for Stiles, she took out her phone and decided to make a phone call.

She didn't want to call her friends and tell them what happened, but knew there was someone she could count on not to tell everyone where she was or what she had been up to.

"Hey, Deaton, I need your help. I think I may have ran into some vampires." She revealed.

The end.
