Notes:

Hello, hello, sorry for the two months hiatus. I honestly was not in the mood to write at all. I tried and I tried and I tried but I had no motivation whatsoever. But of course, as always the best cure for writer's block is depression so here I am depressed and anxious and anxiety-ridden and here I have produced two chapters in the span of 20 minutes.

I am telling you the truth that when I am depressed or stressed chapters fly out of me like... I don't know things that fly really fast. I don't know man. I'm just really panicky right now because I have a lot of bullshit that's happening in my life and nothing is going right but nothing any of you have to worry about. Just my dumb problems as usual.

Anyway, I have produced two chapters this time, yay!

In these chapters, I will say that I switch perspectives a lot, now not a lot of people like that, but it really makes the chapter in my perspective better. Because you could see what everyone's feeling and everyone's emotions since this is written from the first-person point of view.

And honestly, I can't please everyone. So you take what you get right. Anyway, I think you will really enjoy this chapter and I think you will really really really enjoy the next chapter because I really really really enjoy the next chapter so stay tuned for that one it's going to be uploaded automatically so while there are cliffhangers they are non-existent at this point because I update too quickly.

Stiles POV:


So far from what I can gather, someone has kidnapped me, I have memory loss, and I can faintly hear sounds outside, but it sounds like I'm underwater? All this information helps me with nothing. It gives me no clues on how to get out of this predicament. These chains are so tight that I cannot do anything to remove them. The only thing that I noticed that has kind of scared me and put me in an off mood is on the wall behind me for a second. I saw it when I turned my head as far as I could go behind me; there was a Japanese symbol on the wall.

Do I know what it means? No. But it's giving me very similar Nogitsune vibes. This means I've come to a conclusion on what happened. I've been kidnapped by a kitsune. Could it be the kitsune I was talking to online? Possibly, but since I have no memory of ever talking to him or her, I can't say for sure. But I've definitely been kidnapped by a supernatural creature of Japanese origin, and what I've dealt with so far is probably either a kitsune or a nogitsune.

All that being said, about 5 minutes ago, I smelled something weird in the room. I don't know what the scent is other than the overwhelming scent of the ocean in the air. It smells like a beach with the saltiest of saltwater and then something else. But I can't tell what the 'something else' is because I've never smelled it before. The only thing I haven't done yet is talk, so I might as well try to annoy the creature that kidnaped me enough so they will talk back to me. So I began screaming,

' Hello, are you there? '

Repeatedly for 5 minutes straight.

Surprisingly it worked very well, as a hooded man, well I think it's a dude, jumped down from the ceiling. I couldn't see his face because of the hood he was wearing, but he was standing there in front of me now. At least there was somebody actually here. That was my thought up until he pulled a sword out of thin air. Unsheathing it and pointing at my throat.

"Name." The mystery man said.

It wasn't really a question but more like a statement. But you know what? If answering his questions will get the sword away from my throat, I can talk all day.

"Stiles…" I said, trying to sound brave, but I was not brave.

But he didn't continue his questioning, and so I asked,

"Uh, what was the point of kidnapping me? I figure you're a Kitsune, probably the one Elenor told me about. But I don't understand what's this all about. Elenor wouldn't trick me, so what's your problem with me?"

The man said nothing; he seemed to be the silent type. But he did eventually pull the sword back, and it disappeared again. I waited for him to say something again but nothing, and then he disappeared into thin air.

HE DISAPPEARED INTO THIN AIR! What the fuck?

I looked around as far as I could look, but he wasn't anywhere. He wasn't moving like Klaus, where he moves for fast you barely see an afterimage of him. His dude straight up faded away. And as far as I can see, the only exit is a window behind me, and that thing didn't open. Though if you could teleport, what's the point of doors, right?


Another POV:


The child is annoying, but it is who Eleanor sent. But why would she send me a Nogitsune? I could teach this child, but a Nogitsune will always be bound for chaos and strife. I think it's best if I observe more. He will not keep the innocent facade forever. And then I will make my judgment.


Peter POV:


By now, we had exited the cars, and we were following Klaus' nos; II could also smell Stiles, but it was faint, and the smell of the ocean was very overpowering, obviously unnaturally so. The campus was by the ocean, we lived by the ocean, but it didn't even smell this strong; hell, the ocean didn't even smell this strong. If we follow Argent's story, then that means that Stiles was kidnapped by something that smells like the ocean, can cause rain, and disappears into thin air.

What the hell are we dealing with? I've read Stiles bestiary a few times, but there is nothing like that in there. But now that we're closer to where we assume styles to be, I smell something familiar. And it's not Stiles' scent. It's something familiar, it reminds me of Stiles, but it's not Stiles. And for some reason, it gives me an uneasy feeling.

I smelled something similar to this before. The only time I can remember the smell from was when Stiles was clearly human, and we were dealing with a Nogitsune. But the smell is different yet the same. Hmmm.


Lydia POV:


The moment we got out of the car, we were following Klaus around this industrial abandoned town. There were no other people there, but it seemed that Klaus and Peter could smell something. Obviously, Stiles was here. Otherwise, we wouldn't have stopped, but they were all looking cautious. It set me on edge as well. But between Klaus, Peter, and I guess Chris, I was okay in terms of safety.

Peter was deep in thought halfway into the search for Stiles. Peter is smart, and he could figure this out. The reason why we're all so nervous was that we didn't exactly know what kidnapped Stiles.

Only that it's scary because it does something new, and we've never dealt with it before. But one thing that's bugging me is that Stiles willingly came to meet it, so he must have trusted the person a little bit. But who would Stiles trust that would betray him other than Scott? And this is not Scott's play style. He's more upfront about it and tries to play the innocent card all the time.

This is someone else but who?


Klaus POV:


I can clearly smell Stiles, but the scent is hidden all over the place. It's like the air is distributing the scent all over the place. Whoever is doing this is strong and dangerous, and of course, Stiles mixed up in it. I've run across a lot of supernatural creatures in my time, and while some of the things from the story make sense to me, the ocean part is throwing me off.

It sounds like a witch, if I'm honest, but there's a smell that's bothering me. It looks like it's bothering Peter as well I just can't remember what it is. It's very frustrating. But we're close either way. I zoned out four buildings they could possibly be in. The scent is stronger in those four buildings, but it only could be one of them.

I turned to let Peter know that it's one of these two buildings, but he was looking at the ground for a second, and then his head shot up, and he said surprisingly,

"I know what it is!"


Peter POV:


I figured it out. I remembered Stiles' old boss said that she would hook him up with a contact to meet another Kitsune, and the smell that I'm smelling is so familiar to me because it is a Kitsune. It's familiar to me because Stiles smells like this. This is his scent other than his wolf. Why did it take me so long to think about that?

"What? Who?" Lydia asked.

"When we were in Mystic Falls, Stiles got a job working for a witch of some kind. She was a nice lady, or so I was told, and she gave Stiles some information so that he could learn about his other self."

I was going to say Kitsune, but Argent was here.

"And from what I remember, Stiles had told me that she had given him a number to contact someone like him so that he could learn from this person. And I assume obviously something went wrong."

"Wait, that doesn't mean it is that person; how can you tell?" Lydia asks.

I'm pretty sure she's assuming that I can't possibly know because I've never met the person before, which is true, but it's clearly the smell of a Kitsune now that I figured it out.

"It's the scent; I knew I recognized it, I just didn't know why till now. But even if I know what it is, I really still don't know its abilities or where it is. But at least we know what we're dealing with now. Not that it helps much." I said.

"What is it?" Argent asks.

And even though I'd rather not tell him just out of spite, of course, he's obviously not going to go away, so might as well.

"A Kitsune."

I know we told Lydia about it, and Klaus was filled in awhile ago; Argent didn't know, but he's not a problem right now.

"A Kitsune? Why would Stiles be involved with a Kitsune?" Argent asked.

Lydia and Klaus looked at me expectantly.

"He wanted to learn more from him. Obviously, something went wrong; his boss didn't seem like a bad person…...what happened?" I questioned no one.

It's not like anyone, but Stiles or that Kitsune had the answers.

My question that obviously didn't have an answer was left unanswered, and Klaus chose that time to point something out that he had figured out while we were standing around talking.

"He's close—one of these two buildings. I can't hear anything but the smell of the ocean is the strongest here, and I can faintly smell Stiles, but I can't tell which building. Not that it matters; we have enough people here to check both simultaneously."

Well, at least that was something.

I nodded that that was a fine plan, and I was trying to see which building looked more fortified, as I assumed that Stiles would be hidden there. But I didn't get to choose as Klaus just picked at random and started walking towards the one on the left. I sighed as he walked off to do his own thing. But then, as I saw Lydia follow him, I realized I was paired up with Argent, and I sighed even deeper.

Just great; well, maybe if he gets in my way, I can finally kill him and be done with the Argents for good. I only spare a small glance at Argent before I just head straight for the building to the right.

Notes:

And there is the first update for 2 months. Sorry about that, but honestly, I can't write if I don't want to. I mean, I can probably, but I get really bored really quickly.

But here's 20 minutes' worth of work. I hate that I could write this in 20 minutes. These two chapters can be written in 20 minutes, but it took me two months to update; it kills me inside because this annoys the shit out of me.

Anywho I hope you enjoy this so far and look forward to the next update in a few minutes or if you're checking this out later in the day, just click on the next chapter.
