Scott ran one way as I ran after Malia, she was fast, but I soon clashed into Stiles and Scott.
"I think I found something." Stiles said as we got up, I began dusting myself off,
"So did I. " I replied as we went to the den,
"It's a coyote den. " Stiles said as we got inside, it reeked so bad it made my eyes water,
"Werecoyote. " I said wiping the tears.
"You see this? This is Malia's. Remember, it's the same one she was wearing in the photo. " Stiles said as he grabbed a scarf, then my mind clicked,
"We shouldn't be here" I said as they looked at me,
"What do you mean? " Stiles asked as I dragged them out,
"She's not going to come back now. We just invaded her home. Our scent's going to be everywhere." I said as we exited the den,
"If she's not going to come back here, where's she going to go? " Stiles said as I stretched.
"I don't know. " Scott said as he looked different, I don't know how but he was different,
"Can you track her now? You think you got her scent? " Stiles asked us as I just felt a shiver down my spine,
"Maybe. But I'm better at this when I'm a full wolf. And I'm still worried that if I do it, I won't be able to turn back." Scott said as he looked at us,
"The door's still open." Stiles said making me confused,
"If I can't get to Derek, we're gonna have to find someone else to help. This is basically a crime scene, right? I think it might be a little out of my boss's league." Scott
said as Stiles looked up at him,
"And more in my dad's." Stiles said as I nodded getting his phone to him.
"You're sure it was her?" Sheriff asked as I watched officers appearing,
"I looked her right in the eyes. And they glowed just like mine." I said as I shifted my weight on the balls of my feet,
"It makes sense, Dad." Stiles said as the Sheriff looked at the three of us,
"But it wasn't a girl. It was a four-legged coyote, right?" Sheriff asked us as I rolled my eyes.
"Well, okay. But yeah, see, that's the point that we don't exactly have figured out yet." Stiles said as I nodded,
"Okay, but if it was a full moon and she did change while her mom was driving, then anything could've happened." Scott said as I leaned on him to keep myself
awake,
"Horrible things could've happened. Ripping, shredding, tearing things." Stiles explains as the Sheriff listens to us,
"Which is probably what caused the accident." Scott continued as he allowed me to lean on him,
"Think about it, Dad, all right. They're driving, Malia starts to change, she goes out of control, the mom crashes and everybody dies" Stiles says as I just yawn,
"Except for Malia." Scott said as I then stood up,
"She blames herself, all right, goes off running into the woods and eventually becomes trapped inside the body of a coyote." I said as the Sheriff looks at me,
"That makes sense." The Sheriff said before sighing,
"In a Chinese folktale. Boys, this is this is insane. I need this kept quiet. The two of you, not a word. I don't want anyone hearing about this. I especially don't want
Mr. Tate hearing about this. Scott? Scott!" Sheriff said before we got the attention of Scott.
"Sorry. What did you say?" He said as he looked at us,
"Oh, hell. Mr. Tate." Sheriff said as we saw Tate with a look of despair,
"Mr. Tate?" Scott's dad said to the man who saw a scarf,
"It's hers. " said as he cried.
"All right, wait here." Scott's dad said before walking to us,
"Dad." Scott said as his dad appeared,
"I'll talk to you in a minute. I wouldn't mind hearing how your mom's okay with you running around in the woods this late." Scott's dad asked but I just yawned,
"What the hell are you doing bringing him here?" Sheriff asked the Agent.
"I'm getting confirmation on a more than significant lead. And starting to understand why your department can't close cases." Scott's dad replies,
"There's no body. There's no remains to identify." Sheriff replies angry.
"Well, not yet, Sheriff. But do a little digging and I'm sure you'll uncover something. Like the bones of a 9-year-old girl." Agent McCall said as I rolled my eyes,
"I think you're going to find it's just a little bit more complicated than that, Special Agent." Sheriff said as he sneered at Scott's dad,
"Come on, Stilinski, you know how this goes. It's the not knowing that ruins people like Tate. The truth, no matter how profoundly it sucks the truth is always better
than not knowing." Scott Dad said before I looked at Scott. I went home, I was too tired,I went to bed clutching Derek's pillow, his scent still lingered as my lower
belly slightly cramped but stopped. I woke up the next morning, got dressed, and pumped three more bottles for Micheal to feed my daughter. I went to her crib, she
was asleep clutching the wolf plush Derek had given me a long time ago, I kissed her forehead before leaving to go to school. I got to my History class, sitting next to
Stiles as I saw my History teacher appear,
"All right, everyone. Let's get started. We were just talking about internment camps and prisoners of war. There's a passage in our reading that I'd like to go over in
more detail Who would like to come up and read aloud for us? Mr. Stilinski, how about you?"He asked as I smelt a little panic on him,
"Oh, maybe someone else could." stiles asked as smiled, " Everyone participates in my class, Mr. Stilinski." He replied as Stiles got up to the podium,
"Okay, okay. Come on, come on." Stiles said as he clutched the podium, Scott and I nodded as we saw him breathing heavily,
"We should take him to the nurse's office." I said as our teacher nodded, we took Stiles to the locker room.
"Stiles, look at me, man. Is this a panic attack?" I asked as Stiles got to a sink and mirror, "It's a dream, it's a dream. This is just a dream." Stiles repeated,
"No, it's not. This is real. You're here. You're here with me. Okay, what do you do? I mean, like, how do you tell if you're awake or dreaming?" Scott asked as Stiles
looked at us,
"Your fingers you count your fingers. You have extra fingers in dreams." He said as I looked at Scott.
"How many do I have? Hey! Look at me. Come on, Stiles. Look at my hands and count with me." I said as Stiles looked at my hands,
"One Two." He said as he looked, Scott helped him with his breathing,
"Keep going." Scott said encouraging him as I increased my fingers,
"Three. Four." Stiles said as I just kept going,
"Five." Scott said as I just continued with the fingers,
"Six. Seven." He said as I smiled, I nodded
"Eight."Scott said as I nodded,
"Nine. Ten. " Stiles said before sitting down, I chuckled.
"What the hell is happening to me?" Stiles asked as I got down to his level,
"We'll figure it out. You're going to be okay." Scott said as he patted his shoulder, but Stiles looked at him,
"Am I? Are you? Scott, you can't transform. Allison's being haunted by her dead aunt. And I'm straight up losing my mind. We can't do this. We can't we can't help
Malia. We can't help anyone." Stiles said before I brought him into a hug,
"We can try. We can always try." I said before we parting. We went to Deaton's I had Laura in my arms as she just watched all of us interacting,
"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 handing Scott the drug, Laura then just babbled at that,
"Allison's a perfect shot." Scott said before I saw my cousin,
"She used to be." Isaac said as I gave him Laura who just touched his face,
"She can do it." The True Alpha replied,
"If we manage to find the thing." Isaac said as I watched Laura just yawn as she got comfortable in Isaac's arms,
"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 asked as I laughed,
"Look, maybe I'm asking a question no one here wants to ask. How do we turn a coyote back into a girl, when she hasn't been a girl for eight years?" Isaac retorted
as I took Laura in my arms.
"I can do it." Scott said as I looked at him,
"You can?" I asked him,
"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 said making me remember that fateful night,
"This is a werecoyote, Scott. Who knows if it'll even work if you can find someone who can teach you." Deaton said as I looked at my phone, still no Derek.
"That's why you called Derek, first." I asked as Scott nodded,
"Yeah, I could try it on my right now, I'm too scared to even change into just a werewolf." Scott said as I looked at him,
"We need a real Alpha. You know what I mean. An Alpha who can do Alpha things. You know, an Alpha who can get it going. You know, get it" Stiles said before Isaac
interrupted,
"Up?" He asked as I nodded.
"Great. I'm an Alpha with performance issues." Scott said trying to find the words,
"Is there anyone else besides Derek who could help?" Deaton asked as I began to think,
"I wouldn't trust Peter." I said as Laura shifted her spot in my
arms, "Maybe the twins?" stiles asked as Deaton spoke up,
"They're not Alphas anymore. after what Jennifer did, almost killing them? It broke that part of them." He said as I watched Laura sleeping so sweetly,
"Yeah, but what if they know how to do it?" Stiles asked the druid.
"Nobody's seen them for weeks."Scott said as I saw Stiles' face change,
"Actually, that's not totally true." Stiles said as he pulled his phone out. It was later in the night when we got to my loft, I put Laura down as she slept. I got back to
the family area to see Lydia, Scott and Stiles at the door.
"They said they would be here" Lyds said looking around my loft, I saw one of the twins punch Scott. One had his arms around Scott's and the other kept punching
the Alpha.
"I thought you two were going to teach me to roar" Scott said as he groaned in pain.
"We are... We do it by giving in" Aiden growled as he looked down at the boy.
"Giving in and letting go that's how Deucalion taught us control." Ethan said as Aiden kicked Scott in his stomach.
"Hey, you know, that's funny. I've actually tried something like this one time using a heart monitor and lacrosse balls." Stiles said and I looked at him like 'the hell'.
"That's actually the plan? You kick his ass?" I grunted as I kept my anger in, another cramp rolled through me but subsided.
"You're afraid to turn." Ethan said as Aiden kicked Scott to the floor.
"We're gonna make you." Aiden replied as he hit him in the face.
"You turn." Ethan said and then slammed Scott to the floor again.
"Then you kick our asses." He said after slamming Scott again after he got up.
"And then you roar." He said before showing Scott, the twin's fangs out and eyes glowing blue
"You don't think you can let go with us?" Aiden said pushing Scott's shoulder as he walked past him
"You think you're going to hurt us?" Aiden said pushing Scott again.
"Come on, McCall. Give it your all." Aiden said and I shook my head at this.
"We can always heal." Ethan said before hitting Scott causing him to fall on the ground and groaned in pain.
"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 everything you're afraid of. " Aiden screams at
Scott,
"That's what gives you power. It gives you strength"Ethan said and I shook my head again at what they were doing.
"Giving into it doesn't make you the bad guy." Aiden said punching Scott again, Scott just let blood fall from his lower lip.
"So long as you can control it." Ethan said and Aiden looked at me.
"Sometimes control's a little overrated." He says before kicking Scott to the ground.
"Come on, Scott. Fight back." Stiles whispers as I growled at the twins.
"What if I can't control it? What if I can't turn back?" Scott said as he groaned at them.
"Then it takes over. You become Malia. You get further and further away from being human. You turn into an animal. Or worse." Ethan says and I then hear
"You turn into Peter. " Then I see flashes of Peter and what he did to become the monster we all saw him to be. Scott ran at Aiden, he flung the Alpha onto a table and
punched him repeatedly. I heard bones in his face breaking, Ethan then pulled his twin off to stop.
"What? I thought we were helping him" Aiden growled.
"You help too much." Ethan replies. Scott turns to me as he spits out blood. I helped him up, giving him a wet towel to clean himself off. The next day we all came to
the preserve,
"Anyone else think we might be doing more harm than good?" Lydia asked as I felt my spine shift a bit,
"We're trying to keep a father from killing his own daughter." I said as I looked at Scott,
"Actually, 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 as I hit him in the back of the head,
"And again with the not helping." Stiles said as I watched Scott look at Allison,
"Did you bring it?" He asked as she got her rifle out, we heard gunshots. I phased into my fox and ran, I smelt Scott behind me, I split up with him, a few minutes
later I heard howling, I stopped where I was and phased back, I smiled as I recognized that howl.
"Scott" I said as I smiled, he shifted into his wolf, I felt a little warm, then it, I felt my lower belly cramping up, my body was feeling hot, and I know whats happening
I'm going into heat and I need to get to the loft fast. Iran more than I ever ran in my life, once I got to the door I saw Micheal.
"Can you maybe leave for a few days with Laura" I said as I felt another cramp roll through me.
"Yes" He said as I watched him grab a bag and Laura. They had left, now Derek needs to get home before another wolf finds me in this vulnerable state.
