Stiles POV: Back in the locker room where Malia was earlier Stiles picked up the doll he took from the crime scene.
"Scott I think I know what she was looking for" Stiles said showing him the doll.
"You took the doll from the car?" Scott asked.
"Yeah I thought you could use it you know for like her scent."
"Where did you get that? Where did you find this? It belonged to my daughter" Mr. Tate said grabbing the doll from Stiles.
"Mr. Tate I don't know how you heard about this. If you got your own police scanner or what but you can't be here" the Sheriff rushed over to them.
When the Sheriff went to move Mr. Tate he stopped and pushed his coat aside to reveal a gun.
"I have a permit" Mr. Tate said.
"California schools are gun free zones permit or no permit. You need to leave Mr. Tate now."
"You find that animal you find that thing" Mr. Tate said before he left.
Soon after Selene Stiles and Scott all went to the animal clinic and met up with Isaac.
"Xylazine. It's a tranquilizer for horses. For a werecoyote expect it to work within seconds. I only have three so whoever's shooting needs to be a damn good shot" Deaton said.
"Allison's a perfect shot" Scott said.
"She used to be" Isaac spoke up.
"She can do it" Scott defended.
"If we manage to find the thing" Isaac said.
"Okay what is the point of him? Seriously I mean what is his purpose? Aside from the persistent negativity and the scarf? What's up with the scarf anyway? It's 65 degrees out" Stiles said.
"Look maybe I'm asking the question no one here wants to ask. How do we turn a coyote back into a girl when she hasn't been a girl in eight years?" Isaac stressed.
"I can do it" Scott said after a minute.
"You can?" Stiles asked.
"You remember the night that Peter trapped us in the school? In the gym he was able to make me turn using just his voice. Deucalion did the same thing in the distillery" Scott explained.
"It's an Alpha thing you sure you can do it?" Selene asked.
Stiles could tell by her eyes she knew Scott could do it. Scott just nodded.
"This is a werecoyote Scott. Who knows if it'll even work if you can find someone who can teach you" Deaton said.
"That's why you called Derek first" Stiles said.
"Yeah I could try it on my own. But right now I'm too scared to even change into just a werewolf" Scott said.
"Don't look at me. You need to learn" Selene said to Scott.
"Is there anyone else besides Derek who could help?" Deaton asked.
"I wouldn't trust Peter" Isaac spoke up.
"Maybe the twins?" Stiles suggested.
"They're not Alphas anymore. After what Jennifer did almost killing them? It broke that part of them" Deaton explained.
"Yeah but what if they know how to do it?" Stiles continued.
"Nobody's seen them for weeks" Scott said.
"Actually that's not totally true" Stiles said hesitantly.
Stiles and Selene took Scott to pick up Lydia. Turned out Lydia still knew where the twins were.
"They said they'd meet us here" Lydia said as Stiles opened the door to Derek's loft.
Turned out she was right. The twins came out nowhere and started beating the crap out of Scott. Selene moved Stiles and Lydia out of the way.
"I thought you guys were gonna teach me to roar" Scott said lying on the ground in pain.
"We are. You do it by giving in" Aiden said.
"Giving in and letting go. That's how Deucalion taught us control" Ethan said.
"Hey you know that's funny. I've actually tried something like this one time using a heart monitor and lacrosse balls. But you're right beating the living crap out of him is probably a lot better" Stiles said.
"That's actually the plan? You kick my ass?" Scott asked.
"You're afraid to turn" Aiden said.
"We're gonna make you. You turn. Then you kick out asses" Ethan continued.
"And then you roar!" Aiden said then he roared loud.
"You don't think you can let go with us?" Aiden asked as they started pushing Scott around.
"You think you're going to hurt us?" Ethan taunted.
"Come on McCall. Give it your all" Aiden replied.
"We can always heal."
Scott tried to fight but not like a werewolf the twins started kicking his ass again.
"You're an Alpha you want to roar like one you've got to give in full throttle. You've got to be the monster. Become the beast. Become everything you're afraid of" Aiden said.
"That's what gives you power. It gives you strength" Ethan told Scott.
"And giving into it doesn't make you the bad guy."
"So long as you can control it."
"Sometimes control's a little overrated" Aiden replied as they beat on Scott.
"Come on Scott. Fight back" Stiles said softly watching.
"What if I can't control it? What if I can't turn back?" Scott asked.
"Then it takes over. You become Malia. You get farther away from being human. You turn into an animal. Or worse" Ethan told him.
"You turn into Peter" Aiden finished.
Slowly Scott got up and wiped the blood from his mouth. Then he charged the twins. Aiden flipped him up onto the table then he jumped up and started hitting him in the face. Ethan stopped him.
"What?! I thought we were helping him" Aiden said.
"You help too much" Ethan replied.
Aiden jumped off the table the others slowly got closer to Scott. He spit out blood. Nothing happened. So Stiles took Scott and Lydia home before going home with Selene to sleep.
The next morning they planned how to help Malia. Everyone met near the woods a few hours later.
"Anyone else think we might be doing more harm than good?" Lydia asked.
"We're trying to keep a guy from killing a coyote who is actually his daughter who we don't know how to change from a coyote back to his daughter" Isaac said.
"And again with the not helpping" Stiles said.
"Did you bring it?" Scott asked Allison.
She opened her trunk and pulled out a rifle. All the sudden gunshots filled the air. Scott jumped on his bike and rode off.
"Wait wait wait" Stiles yelled after him.
Then Isaac and Allison went running off after Scott. Selene looked at him with a half pained look. Stiles nodded and Selene ran off after the others leaving him with Lydia. Then Stiles answered his phone it was his dad.
"It took the doll again? What the hell is so important about this doll?" Stiles asked.
"I don't know but listen to me. There are traps all over those woods. Near the trails. Probably near the car crash. And Tate is out there with a rifle. I want you to stay out of those woods. You got that? Stiles?" his dad said.
"It's the doll" Stiles said to himself.
"Stiles?" His dad spoke.
"It's the doll?" Stiles said confused then hung up on his dad.
"All right but why would it go all the way to the school and then all the way back to the house just for the doll? One that was in the car wreck in the first place. We didn't find it in the coyote den" Stiles said.
"It likes the doll. Who cares?" Lydia said.
"Yeah it likes the doll a lot" Stiles said.
"What kind of doll is it?" Lydia asked.
"I don't know. It's a doll you know. It's got little arms a big baby head and dead soulless eyes. Actually I took a pic. Here" Stiles said pulling up a picture of the photo he saw in Malia's room.
"That's Malia?" Lydia asked pointing at the picture.
"Yeah that's the jacket and scarf we found in the den" Stiles said.
"Stiles she's not holding the doll."
"That's Malia's younger sister. It's her doll… I know what she's doing" Stiles said.
"What?"
"I know where she's going." Stiles and Lydia went off into the woods.
Stiles called Scott and left a message.
"Scott it's me you got to call me back as soon as you can. It wasn't Malia's doll. It was her sister's. Malia left it at the car for her sister. It's like bringing flowers to a grave. Okay and we stole the flowers. So that's all she's trying to do right. Bring the doll back back to the grave to the car wreck. That's where she's headed. The car wreck" Stiles said.
"Stiles?" Lydia said softly.
"Yeah" Stiles turned around.
"Stiles" Lydia freaked she had stepped into a trap.
"Lydia don't move."
"Look for a warning label."
"A warning label?"
"Instructions on how to disarm it."
"Lydia why the hell would they put instructions on the bottom of the trap?"
"Because animals can't read."
Slowly Stiles got down and looked for the warning sure enough he found it.
"Lydia we got a problem."
"Huh?"
"I can't read either" Stiles said.
"You don't need instructions. When was the last time you've ever used instructions? Am I right? You don't need them because you are too smart to waste your time with them okay? You can figure it out. Stiles you're the one who always figures it out. So you can do it. Figure. It. Out" Lydia said.
Stiles nearly heard Selene's voice in his head telling him he could do it. He could almost feel her calming presence. Sure enough he found a handle.
"Okay here we go. Ready?"
Slowly Stiles reached out to grab the handle.
"Okay here we go" he turned the handle and pulled Lydia out of the trap before it went off.
As they kept walking Stiles heard a wolf howl fill the air. He knew it was Scott.
"That's what I'm talking about" Stiles said.
Then Selene's howl added to Scott's and Stiles felt her cry inside himself and smiled then Isaac's howl added to theirs. Scott managed to turn Malia back.
Once she was cleaned up Stiles and Selene rode with the Sheriff to take her back home. His dad smiled and nodded at him and Stiles relaxed. When he looked at the side mirror he could read the warning on it. He leaned his head back sighing and smiled.
Selene's arms wrapped around from behind his seat. He smiled more and kissed her hand.
