Scott and Derek ran to the source of Stiles' scream. They were at the edge of the woods when Derek skidded to a halt and put his hand out to stop Scott.

"Shhh…" Derek was listening. "Come on."

Scott focused on the sounds in the woods. Through the sound of leaves rustling, he could hear a faint voice that belonged to his best friend. He was talking to someone. They ran again and Stiles' voice grew louder and louder, but Scott heard no one else.

"No, please I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Stiles was curled on the forest floor with this arms wrapped around his head.

Derek and Scott approached Stiles with caution. Scott took slow steps forward until he could reach down and touch Stiles' shoulder. That was a bad idea though, because as soon as he hand met with Stiles' skin he flinched back and the world around Scott and Derek changed. Scott rushed back and the two looked around.

"How'd we get in the hospital?" Derek's eyes darted around this new scene.

Scott was not as quick to panic about his new surroundings. This was familiar. "There's leaves on the ground."

"What?" Derek looked down on the hospital floor.

"He's doing this." Scott walked down the hallway and Derek followed.

"What do you mean, he's doing this?"

Scott sped up. "It's like before, the Nogitsune tricked us into thinking we were somewhere we weren't. Somehow Stiles is doing this."

Scott rushed to the end of the hallways and threw open the double doors. He almost tripped as they were in the woods again. Scott searched for his friend. Fumbling away from the two was Stiles. He wanted out of the woods.

"Stiles wait!" Scott ran over to him and grabbed him. This time he stayed in the woods. "It's okay, you're safe now."

Stiles shook his head. "You hate me."

Scott made Stiles look him in the eye. "Stiles I don't hate you. I was wrong okay. You were right, Theo was bad news."

Stiles whimpered. "That's not what they say."

"Who?" Scott held his grip.

"Them." Stiles nodded to the space next to Derek.

"Stiles, there's no one here but me and Scott." Derek walked closer.

Stiles looked at him with frantic eyes. "They won't leave me alone, Allison. Aiden. Donovan. I killed them."

Scott looked at where Stiles saw Allison, he wished he could see her one more time. He shook his head and looked back at his friend. "It wasn't your fault."

Stiles shut his eyes and Scott felt his face. This was the first time he had a good look at Stiles. He was covered in blood, and though he was healing, Scott could see the tortures that Theo had put him through. He turned to Derek.

"He's burning up."

Derek came over. "Come on, we need to get him out of here."

Lydia and Malia met Derek and Scott at Stiles' house. They watched as Stiles backed himself into a corner and sat with his knees up against his chest. He was mumbling to himself, or to whatever he thought was talking to him.

"What'd Theo do to him?" Malia had anger in her eyes, she was wiping the blood off of him with a rag.

Scott shook his head. "I don't know. Did you talk to his Dad?"

Lydia could not take her eyes off of Stiles. "No, Parrish got out, I guess the Sherriff followed him."

"I called my mom, she should be here soon. Maybe she can figure out how to bring his fever down." Scott walked over to Stiles and knelt down.

His face was scrunched up.

"Stiles." Scott did not touch him this time. "Hey, can you hear me?"

Stiles nodded, but kept his eyes shut. "They won't leave me alone."

"They aren't there Stiles, okay. It's just a trick, just like before."

Stiles opened his eyes and looked past Scott. There, by the kitchen table, was Allison, Aiden, and Donovan staring back at him. "Doesn't make it any less terrifying."

Scott gave him a small smile. "We're trying to get ahold of your dad, he'll be here soon."

Stiles' eyes shot to Scott's. "No, don't let him see me like this. Please, it'll be too hard, it'll just remind him...I'm acting like she did, just like it, and I can't do that to him."

"Okay, we won't call him just yet. He won't see you. Stiles I think he would want to though, what happened with your mom, that was different, that wasn't this." Scott saw the change in Stiles' expression at the mention of his mother.

Clicking.

Stiles was back at the hospital room. "Scott?"

Silence.

Stiles watched as the Doctors came into the room and walked over to his smiling mother. He was frozen in fear. This did not happen. Stiles had never seen the Doctors before they recently showed up to Beacon Hills.

"I'm ready." She welcomed their presence.

Stiles watched as they took their needle and jammed it into his mother's chest. She arched her back and a black wisp of energy came out of her and flew straight into Stiles. The boy was flown across the room from the force of the energy and he began to scream.

"Leave her alone!"

One Doctor looked at Stiles, while the rest seemed satisfied with what they retrieved and began to walk out of the door.

"No! No, come back!" Stiles screamed.

Stiles was still screaming when he realized he was in his living room again and Scott was holding him.

"Stiles you're okay, you're safe."

Tears streaked Stiles' cheeks as he looked around the room.

"Hey, are you okay?" Scott's voice was gentle.

Stiles shook his head. "They killed her, they, they did something…oh god. It was already there, it was already there and went into me."

Derek knelt down this time. "Stiles you aren't making any sense."

"My, mom…she…"

Scott was connecting everything. "You remembered the Doctors there?"

Stiles nodded. "I don't wanna be like her, Scott."

"You aren't like that, okay, you aren't like that." Scott still had a hold of his best friend.

"It was already there, it was already there." Stiles was mumbling to himself.

Malia came over and stroked his head. "Look Stiles, if something happened to you then you've gone most your life with nothing happening. Theo did something to you, and I think that's what is making it bad right now."

Stiles stared at the grain on the floor. "He tried getting it out. He tried taking the Nogitsune part; he got in my head."

The group looked at each other.

"He can't though, because it's not like you guys. I wasn't bit or born like this, it made me. I'm not even me, and now..." Stiles looked up at the dead people he was still seeing in the room.

Scott looked at the empty space Stiles was staring at. "They haven't left at all, have they?"

Stiles shook his head.

There was a knock on the door, causing most of them to jump. Lydia went over to answer it. Melissa came in with a concerned look on her face. Lydia nodded for her to follow and the group spread out as Melissa walked over to check on Stiles.

She put her hand on his face. "Hey, kiddo, how ya feeling?"

He gave her a small smile. "Insane."

Melissa laughed. "They might be due to the extremely high fever you have." She turned to the rest of the pack. "Does someone want to tell me what happened?"

Scott balled his fist. "Theo. We aren't sure exactly what he did, but now Stiles is hallucinating."

Melissa was checking Stiles over. "Well my expertise only goes so far for the human world. I'm not sure if I can help for supernatural causes. He doesn't seem to have any metal in him, so those weird Doctor guys didn't do whatever they were doing to those poor kids."

"No, they didn't want me." Stiles was staring at the floor again.

"Is this his blood?" There was still blood all over Stiles' shirt. "I don't see any wounds."

Scott coughed a little. "Yeah, Stiles has been changing, sort of."

"Monster." Stiles whispered.

"No. Stiles you aren't." Scott hated seeing his best friend like this "His been getting abilities since, well you know. I guess he can heal a little, but it seems slower than us. I don't really understand it."

"Again, I say, this is out of my expertise. It doesn't look like an infection. What about Dr. Deaton? I think he's more qualified to deal with something like this."

Scott looked away from his mother. "He's been missing for a while."

"I tried finding him, but couldn't." Derek wished he had better luck.

"I may have an idea of who we can talk to, but no one is going to like it." Everyone looked up at Lydia.

"Who?" Malia eyed her.

"We don't have Deaton, but we do have his sister."

"Morrell?" Scott was not pleased.

"I'm not sure we have a choice." Lydia looked apologetic.

"Great, the woman who said she'd kill me when I got too out of control." Stiles did not want to talk to her either.

Lydia sighed. "Look, she believes in balance right? So what Theo and the Doctors are doing, definitely tips the scales. She'll help."

"And what if she decides Stiles would be better off dead?" Malia was worried for him.

"We won't let her do anything to him." Derek assured them all.

Before they could decide what to do, Stiles went into a coughing fit. He put his hand to his mouth, the whispers were getting louder. When he took his hand away there was dark, almost black blood. He looked at Scott.

"Call her." Scott never took his eyes off of Stiles' hand.

Lydia got a hold of Ms. Morrell, and she told them to meet her at the vet clinic. Stile was not doing very well by the time they got there. His vision was blurry and the hallucinations were getting worse. He would zone out and begin talking to the ones haunting him.

"Please, Allison I never wanted you to die, I'm so sorry."

She glared at him.

"And what about me?" Aiden was next to him.

"Or me." Donovan was smiling with a mouth full of sharp teeth.

"No, it was an accident. You would have killed me."

"Stiles, no one is there." Malia put her hand on his shoulder.

He snapped back.

"Come on, we're here." Derek turned off the car and they got out.

Ms. Morrell was already in the clinic waiting for them. She eyed Stiles up and down, and then turned to Scott.

"Where's my brother?"

Scott shrugged. "He said he'd only be gone a few days, but…Derek went looking, he couldn't find him."

She nodded and walked over to Stiles. "What happened?"

They explained Theo and the Doctors to her, and Theo taking Stiles to try and get his new found abilities.

"What exactly did he do to you Stiles?"

Stiles was sitting on the exam table, he looked away from everyone. "Took brain tissue, then got one of his chimeras to get in my head; see how the Nogitsune was activated before. Then he electrocuted me, trying to get it out, but that's when I got in his head and convinced him he gave me more kanima venom. I got the girl that looked in my head, Rochelle, to help me escape, after that I began seeing them."

"What was the chimera made of?"

Stiles shook his head. "Dr. Valak's third eye, and I'm not sure what else."

Ms. Morrell turned to the group. "The day the Doctors attacked Eichen House and Dr. Valak, they also took a creature occupying the cell next to him. It's called a Sluagh. They can make a person live in their own conscious, if that is who she is mixed with, it would explain the hallucinations, which should ware off in time. A Sluagh does not explain the illness though."

"What could explain that?" Lydia wanted answers, they all did.

Ms. Morrell looked over Stiles again. "I'm not sure. It could be a number of things, the only one that would know for sure is Theo."

Scott nodded. "Thanks."

They decided to leave and go back to Scott's house. They were not sure what to do, and Stiles seemed to only be getting sicker. They were in Derek's car, when Scott's phone rang.

"It's Theo." He answered it.

"Put me on speaker."

Scott clenched the phone. "Why?"

"Just do it." Theo's voice was annoyed. "I have something Stiles will want to hear."

Scott sighed but complied. "Fine." He put the phone on speaker and held it out for everyone to hear.

"Good. How ya feeling Stiles? Seeing your dead friends?" They could hear the smile in his voice.

"What do you want?" Stiles hated how weak his voice sounded.

"Just to check in, see how you were. I do wonder what your dad would think about everything that's happened."

Stiles' eyes widened. "Keep my dad out of this."

Theo ignored Stiles. "You know, I think I'll just ask him myself. He followed Parrish all the way the impound lot, I might see if he needs my help with anything." Theo laughed and then hung up.

"Derek." Stiles looked at him.

"No, Stiles you aren't going." He pulled over the car. "Scott you can get there the fastest."

Scott had his hand on the door when Stiles panicked. He concentrated on everyone in the car, and made them all think they were driving again. He took his chance to jump out of the parked car and head to the impound lot. It was not too far, he would be able to make it.

Once Stiles got there, it did not take him long to find his bloodied father alone on the ground. He ran over to him and began to inspect his injuries. The man was not moving, and Stiles was not even sure if he was still alive.

"Dad?"
