Stiles, Scott and Kira arrived at the party as Stiles tells Scott about the key, "It just showed up there on my key ring this morning. I asked my dad if he put it there but he said he didn't know anything about it."
"It's just a key, right?" Scott questioned her, noticing that Stiles was obsessing over the key a bit too much.
"Yeah, but it's not mine." Stiles reiterated, "And I don't know how it got there or what it's for."
"Do you want to leave to figure it out?"
Stiles didn't hear him because she was busy looking for two certain people in the party. Her eyes landed on Isaac and Allison, "How about you-"
"No way," Scott told her catching her eyesight, "I know exactly what you're thinking."
"If this is another undercover operation," Kira told them with a smile, "I'm all for it."
"Kira!" Stiles said wrapping the girl in a hug, "I knew I was going to like you."
Aiden ran up to Landon wearing a set of bright orange false fangs. He growled at him, he was not amused. "Not as good as the real ones." Aiden told with a playful manner.
"Or as lethal." Landon countered easily.
"Okay, sure. I deserve that." Aiden told him, "I deserve basically everything you say about me. But, you know, I was pretty instrumental setting this up." Aiden bragged slightly.
"All this?" Landon question gesturing at the party, "If I wanted to go to a rave, I'd get in a time machine and go back to the '90s." He snipped before walking away.
Aiden then gets angry and started to show his real fangs and glowing eyes.
On the other side of the loft Allison and Isaac stood side by side as Scott and Stiles were staring back at them, "Aren't you going to say anything?"
"Nope." Allison said with a strong voice. It didn't matter anyway considering how loud the music was there no chance in Scott overhearing them.
"Do you at least want to tell him what happened?"
"No." Allison said shaking her head and turning to Isaac, "We still have a couple hours, remember? We promised my dad."
"You promised your dad."
"I promised him in order to protect him."
"You did. I didn't".
"Is protecting my father such a bad thing?" She questioned him, "We did it before and we can do it again."
"I don't like keeping secrets from Scott."
"How do you think that makes me feel?" Looking back across the room where she could see Stiles talking or maybe yelling at Scott. But she couldn't help notice that Kira was standing close to his side, "Besides it looks like he has moved on."
"Good God, Stiles was right you two are idiots," Isaac commented just at the same time as Stiles smacked Scott upside the head.
"Right about what?"
"You two want the same thing. Only problem is you're both too scared to even try to make an attempt to talk to one another," Isaac recited, "Which is why Stiles and I came up with a plan." Isaac then took a strong hold of Allison' arm and started to force their way through the crowd.
"Isaac, what in the hell do you thinking you're doing?" Allison demanded as Isaac continued to pull her through the crowd, but she didn't get an answer because she was now face to face with Scott also being held captive by Stiles. Stiles had the mischievous look on her face.

Both Scott and Allison look between their wrists and see that Stiles had handcuffed them together. "Stiles!" They both yelled at her. Isaac looked amused, Kira looked surprised, and Stiles looked completely unfazed.
"They aren't coming off until the two of you talk it out." Stiles said holding up the key, "Since I'm more than likely to lose the key, Isaac is going to have it. So no threatening," Stiles looked pointedly at Allison, "Or overpowering him." This time she looked at Scott. Allison and Scott understood exactly what she was saying. "Now nod if you both agree." Both Scott and Allison did, "Good! Now we'll let you two lovebirds get talk it out."
Stiles pulled Isaac and Kira away and leaving Scott and Allison handcuffed to each other.
Landon was observing the party, leaning against the column. His eyes caught sight of both Scott and Allison handcuffed together, "Nice job Stilinski." From his peripheral vision three blurred shapes caught his eye, turning to the shapes and see that they belonged to the new girl Kira, Stiles, and Isaac. All three of them were dancing incredulously, "Awkwardly." He then noticed Aiden sandwiched between a guy and a girl, "Predictably."
Landon then hears something, a light growling and popping sound. He scanned around the party, but sees nothing at first. Then the Demon Warriors began to flicker in and out of existence. He made his way outside onto a wide patio-like ledge beyond the loft's giant window. There he managed to catch his breath. But the popping sound returned and one of the Demon Warriors rises up through the concrete. He turned to let out a scream, but another warrior appeared in front of him snatched the sound from his mouth with his hand. It then places a hand on the left side of his face and its eyes begin to glow.
When the guy behind Aiden suddenly kissed him on the neck, Aiden turned quickly at him. Aiden quickly realized it was Danny. "Ethan?"Danny asked with some uncertainty. Especially, since Aiden looked so caught off guard.
"Aiden."
"Talk about awkward," Danny mumbled, "Where's Ethan?"
"You haven't seen him?"
"I haven't seen him in like half an hour." Danny confessed, Aiden then began to tense up. "Is something wrong?" Danny asked noticing the change.
"I'm going to go find him."
"I'll do the same."
Isaac had disappeared somewhere leaving Kira and Stiles alone sitting on the spiral staircase, "This is a nice party," Kira commented, "I hope whoever lives here doesn't find out."
Stiles laughed, "Oh man that would be a sight to see." She was still fiddling with the key from earlier and Kira noticed something different about it.
"The key has phosphors on it." Kira commented.
"What are phosphors?" Stiles asked.
"Oh, they're any substance that luminesces. It's in your teeth and your fingernails. Laundry detergent. It's also in this." Kira explained holding up a glow stick, "Reacts to the UV light, that's why it glows."
"How would I get phosphors on my key?"
"Have you been handling chemicals?" Kira asked, "People usually come in contact with it like that."
Stiles flashed back to the chemical closet and how it was unlocked, "Kira you are a super genius!" Kira beamed at the praise, "You are my new best friend. Don't tell Scott though it may hurt his feelings." She stood to get up and Kira stood along with her.
"I promise I won't."
"Look, I have to go check on something, but you should totally stay and mingle," Stiles told her, "Besides I'm sure Scott and Allison are trying to harass Isaac about the key and he'll easily break. He's the most sensitive one of the pack." Stiles started to head off.
"Stiles," Kira shouted out to her. Stiles turned back with a questioning look, "I wanted to say thank you for earlier."
"It's no problem. It's what friends do." With that Stiles gave her a thumbs up and leaves the party.
Scott and Allison were no longer handcuffed. They were up on the roof, just above the loft's skylight. Allison noticed that Scott had something on his face, "You got some paint on you." She told him making a gesture at his face.
He laughed awkwardly and attempted to remove the point, "Still there." Allison told him with a laugh.
"Oh..."
Without a second thought, Allison licked her thumb and smeared the paint right off his face, "All gone."
It took a second for both of them realize, what exactly Allison had done.
"Oh, my God!" Scott claimed causing Allison to tense up, "I can't believe you just mommed me."
"I did not mom you." Allison told him relaxing instantly and laughing.
"You totally mommed me." Scott told her as he stepped closer to her.
"Okay, I might have slightly mommed you." Allison confessed to him, but this time she didn't look at him. It reminded her of the times they had when they were together and now here they were having another, but they weren't together.
"Hey Allison?"
"Yeah?"
"I don't want to talk."
"Yeah, me neither." Allison agreed, "Our words tend to suck." She told him. Scott placed his hand on her cheek and this causes Allison to look at him.
"Our actions are much better." Scott told her just before he planted a kiss on her. Allison didn't let him go.
Back inside the loft, the music continued to play. Kira managed to find Isaac who was leaning against the loft wall. "Parties aren't your thing?" Kira questioned him.
"Nah," Isaac replied looking out at the wave of people, "Enclosed spaces and I aren't the best of friends."
"Claustrophobic?"
Isaac gave his head a tilt with some thought, "I guess you can say that." Isaac noticed how Kira was staring at him. "Is there something on my face?" He asked suddenly self-conscious of his appearance.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to stare. I was looking at your tattoo." Kira said with some embarrassment.
"I don't have a tattoo."
"Oh? Um…There's something on your head. Behind your ear." She gestured to him.
"Maybe you could show me." Kira nodded as Isaac led her to the storage room where a mirror hung on the wall.
"Right there." Kira pointed so Isaac could see.
"What is that?"
"Looks like a number five." Kira told him, "Are you sure you didn't get a tattoo?"
"Positive." Isaac told her. The number five looked like it had been branded into Isaac' neck. Before Isaac has a chance to process the mysterious number, a groaning sound filled the air.
"Did you hear that?" Kira asked him.
Outside the giant window, Danny found Landon barely conscious and shivering, he called to Aiden for help. Aiden quickly rushed to his side upon seeing Landon's condition, "Landon?" But all he got was shiver in response, "What happened? What happened to him?"
"I don't know, but he's freezing." Danny told him with some worry, "He's practically hypothermic."
"We gotta get him inside." Aiden picked up Landon in a bridal-style and Danny lead them back inside.
"Over here. There's a heating vent." Danny told him.
Even as Aiden placed Landon near the vent, he wouldn't stop shivering.
"I'm going to try to find a blanket." Danny told him and rushed off.
Isaac and Kira had discovered Ethan on the floor of storage room, in the same state Isaac remembered being in. Isaac took a hold of Ethan's arm, "What are you doing?" Kira questioned him. Isaac forgot that Kira had been with him.
"Kira," He told her in a very low and serious tone, "Whatever happens I need for you to stay calm." Kira nodded without argument.
"As much as I hate you," Isaac told Ethan, "I can't leave you like this."
Isaac then breaks Ethan's arm, causing the werewolf eye's to flash blue and Isaac sees something that recently became familiar.
Back at the heating vent, Landon seemed to recover, "Landon?"
"They came out of the dark." Landon told him in a whisper.
"It's the same." Isaac realized looking at the same five on Ethan's neck, "Exactly the same."
Derek wakes up on the pavement below. He jumped to his feet and growled in anger. High up on the roof, Scott heard the angry growl. "Party's about to be over." Scott told Allison and he pulled them both back inside.
Inside the party, Derek stalked his way to the DJ booth, only to have someone block his way. "Bro, sorry, The Bloody Beetroot doesn't take requests." The bouncer told him. Derek tried to side-step, but the bouncer continued to get in his way, "Bro, seriously. I said the DJ doesn't take-"
He gets cut off as Derek grabbed hold of him, "He'll take mine." Derek told him throwing him to the side. Not checking to see if the guy was okay, Derek then overturned the table causing the music to stop and the crowd to stare at him.
"Get out!" Derek yelled dropping is voice in "werewolf range". This caused the entire loft to shake, but the crowd quickly bolted for the exit.
"Get him out of here." Aiden told Danny, who had a hold on Landon.
"Find Scott." Landon told him as Danny led them out.
The other wolves, Allison, and Kira all converged on the loft where the Demon Warriors stood waiting. The warriors all turn as one toward Aiden, who appeared out on the floor. "Guys, they're all looking at me." Aiden realized, "Why are they all looking at me? Guys?"
They all make their way towards Aiden, only Scott and Derek try to stop them. Derek was halfway wolfed out with his fangs and claws out and managed to break one of the necks of the demon warriors, but to his shock it recoverd and the wolves were beaten back.
Isaac then attempted to help, but the warrior he faces pulls a sword from inside his body and spins it around like a pro – Isaac quickly backed off.
The warriors finally made their way to Aiden and brand him like the others, but then they turned their attention toward Scott.
"Somebody do something!" Allison cried out.
Scott remained firm and baring his teeth and his red eyes, showing everyone in the room his wolf form. But, when the first rays of the rising sun strike them, the demon warriors disappear into black smoke.
"What the hell were those things?" Scott asked the group.
"Your dad's 24 hours are up." Isaac told Allison.
Chris Argent stumbled into his apartment badly injured and collapses on the floor. His phone was ringing, it was Allison.
"Where is Stiles?" Derek questioned the group.
"She…she had to...uh...check on something." Kira whispered. It seemed everyone had forgotten that she was there as all eyes landed on her. She gave them a nervous smile. "Should I have stopped her?"
At School, Stiles discovered that the key had fit the chemical storage room where Barrow hid and performed surgery on himself. Stiles quickly makes her way to the blackboard where the numbers and their chemical counterparts still spell K I Ra. It was all coming together. She grabbed a piece of chalk and writes the same numbers on the board. Her handwriting matched to the original. She took a step back from the board in shock and fear and felt the spark run through her body as she found herself orbing out the room.
Stiles stood in the middle of a very messy loft with a lone seemingly angry werewolf. "There you are." Derek growled at her. Before Derek even has a chance to get near her he gets hit by a blue barrier. It shocked Derek. "What the hell?" He yelled at her. But he noticed that Stiles wasn't exactly paying attention. It was like she was in trance. "Stiles?" This time his voice was low and calm, he stepped closer and this wasn't blocked a barrier. Stiles still seemed to remain in a trance and there was that smell in the air from earlier.
"Stiles?" He whispered as he got close enough and placed his hand on her cheek. Stiles released a gasping breath.
"Derek?" Stiles asked confused looking around, "What am I doing here?"
"Hey," He told her softly, "Calm down. You're safe with me." Her heartbeat had been pounding faster than normal. "It's getting worse isn't it?" He asked her.
"No, it just that-" Stiles paused for a minute. "My spark has been acting weird. Sometimes it works and other times it doesn't."
"Stiles-"
She cuts him off, "I just think it's from the lack of sleep I had suffered from earlier."
"Stiles you orbed yourself here." He pointed out to her, "Something's wrong. You smell-"
"I get it Derek," Stiles suddenly snapped at him, "I stink. Well, sorry for not being able to smell pleasant enough for you."
"That's not what I meant." He sighed. "I'm just worried about you." He confessed, "And I want you to stay here." Derek could see the look of protest in her eyes, "Just for tonight. Will you do that for me?" He then nuzzled against her. She still had the remaining smell on her and all Derek wanted to do was get it off.
"I have nothing to wear."
"You can wear something of mine."
"Is this a bond thing?"
"No," He told her as he searched around the loft, "It's my thing."
And that's how fifteen minutes later, Stiles found herself wearing Derek's henley in bed with him towering right over her. "I'm sorry I snapped at you." She told him as Derek leaned into her neck.
"Well, I did start it." Derek pointed out to her.
"True."
"Then again, there was a raging party in my loft."
"Yeahhh..."
"Don't try, I know you enjoyed yourself." Derek told her with a nip.
Stiles jerked instantly, "Hey, no funny business."
"I think I'm supposed to say that to you." Stiles had her hand creeping up on the inside of Derek's shirt.
"I'm always funny," She told him as he pulled away from her neck, "By the way, welcome home."
"Home is where you are."
"For a fearsome creature of the night," Stiles told him with a smile, "You are such a sappy romantic."
"Shut up."
"Is that anyway to talk to your mate?"
"Only when she starts becoming a pain in the ass."
"Way to make a girl feel special, Derek." That's when Derek retorted with a lick, right on her face. "Dude, that's not what I meant and you know it!" Derek laughed at Stiles protest and took hold of her wrists so she couldn't wipe away the trail, "You're lucky I love you."
"Cause you're so threatening." Derek said with amusement.
"How about you come closer,"Stiles suggested, "And see how threatening I really am." Stiles wore that mischievous smile of hers.
"You have school in a few hours."
"Then we better make it quick, huh?" Stiles told him with a smirk and Derek agreed completely with a growl as he placed a hot kiss on Stiles' lips and began to tug at the henley.
Neither one of them shared what happened to them earlier.
I feel like some people are going to wonder if they have sex. Well, they do. So there's that and it'll be explained in a later chapter. Also don't forget next Hellmouth update will be on the 29th!
