Hey guys! I finally have a chapter I am happy with! So without further ado Anchors!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Teen Wolf I only own my OC's and any new plot lines I add.
I was feeling better after a refreshing morning and pretty much bouncing around my room while getting dressed. Then I saw the time. Shit, I'm going to be late. I threw on some causal clothes and ran down stairs. I grabbed some breakfast ran out the door deciding to walk today.
I had run into the hallway just a few minuets before the bell and ran into the group. I quickly caught up with them in time to hear Lydia say "Well, well, look who's no longer the crazy one." I rolled my eyes and gave her a playful smile. "Hey guys."
They all gave me a smile before going back to the conversation. Allison scoffed. "We aren't crazy." She defended the three of them. Lydia just shook her head in disagreement. "We did die and come back to life. That's gotta have some side effects right? Scott defended. I nodded agreeing. "Scott does have a point." I said.
At that the bell rang; Lydia and Allison headed to art class while I stuck with Scott and Stiles, heading to Stiles' locker. "Stop enjoying this so much." Stiles said to Lydia as we went to his locker.
The others left until it was just Stiles, Scott and I. We continued walking to Stiles' locker. We arrived at his locker and Stiles got to work on the lock. "Maybe we just need some more time to get back to normal. Try not to forget that we hit the reset button on a supernatural beacon for supernatural creatures. I think there's a pretty good chance that things are never going back to normal." Stiles stated referring to the conversation we were having just moments ago.
Scott began to tune into someones conversation when Stiles starts struggling with the lock. "Stiles, everything okay?" I asked him. He just kept staring at the lock confused, "Stiles! You okay?" He snapped out of it and looked up at me. "Uh, y-yeah sorry just tired. I'll tell you about it later." Stiles shook himself out of it. I gave him a look of concern, he just brushed it off and opened his locker taking some stuff out and closing it.
Something must of set Scott off from listening in to the new girl's conversation, his eyes glowed yellow. Stiles noticed this and quickly hugged him trying to hide it and calm him down. I saw an empty class room and directed Stiles attention to it hinting we take Scott in to calm him down. We quickly rushed him in, me opening the door to stop Stiles and Scott from crashing into it.
I quickly shut the door behind me as Scott started to shift as he kept freaking out. "Stay back, I can't control my self." He warns Stiles and I between grunts. Stiles shakes his head. "We trust you, right?" He said directing the last part at me. "Completely." I said agreeing with Stiles. Next thing we know Scott's claws come out, I was taken aback at first being the first time I saw them but I quickly composed myself focusing on the situation.
Scott begins to dig his claws into his palms causing him to bleed, fighting the shift he collapses on the floor from the effort transforming back. Stiles and I take a small step forward looking at him in concern. "Pain makes you human." Scott said in a shaky voice pulling his head up to look at us.
All is quiet for a moment before Stiles speaks up. "I don't think that this is just in our heads. I'm not just having nightmares. I'm having these dreams where I have to literally scream myself awake. And sometimes I'm not even sure if I'm ever actually waking up." "What do you mean" Scott asked after getting up from the previous events. "In a dream you can't read, and I have been having trouble reading more and more the last few days, just like at the locker." He said directing the last part at me. "Stiles, I'm so sorry." I said. "Is it happening right now?" Scott asks. Stiles turned to look at the black board, he concentrated for a second and turned back to us and nodded.

I went to find Stiles since he offered to give me a ride home instead of me walking home. I ran into him at his locker just as he was closing it. "Hey, ready to go?" I asked with a smile. "Yep, is it okay if we stop past my dad's office first just need to check up on something?" He asked me. "Yeah sure, I have nothing on this afternoon anyway." I replied. We headed out to the car and I got into the passenger seat whilst Stiles started up the car.
We started talking for a bit getting to know each other, not having much time over the past week and a bit. "You asked Scott if you were attractive to gay guys?" I said laughing. "Maybe" He said a shy smile on his face.

We stopped off at a flower shop as Stiles wanted to pick some up for his mom. After that we continued to the Sheriff's station. We arrived shortly and walked in.
Stiles found his dad and we entered his office. "Hey dad, this is Izzy, she's new. And don't worry she already knows everything." He said introducing me. I gave a small wave "Nice to meet you." I said. "Hey Stiles. And lovely to meet you too Izzy. What's with the flowers?" His dad responded gesturing to the flowers. "There for mom's grave. Last time we left her some flowers someone stole them the same day, so I thought I would get her some more." He explained. "It's not the flowers, it's the gesture." Stiles sighed knowing he was right. Stiles pointed to all the files in question. "I'm going through all the old files, looking for anything that I might be able to solve now." the Sheriff explained.
Stiles picked up a folder and flipped through it. He guested the file towards his dad who told him to throw in on the pile. "There are at least a hundred cases where I can ask my self If I knew then what I know..."The Sheriff explained to us. "Dad that's not a healthy thing to do." Stiles said expressing his concern. "There is one case in particular that's been plaguing me." His dad said. I looked up from a file. "What is it?" I asked.
"Eight years ago when I was elected sheriff of the county, my first official duty was to tell a man that not only had his wife and two kids died in a car accident but that as best they could tell the body of his 9-year-old daughter had been dragged from the wreck by coyotes. They hadn't found the car until three days after the crash. The two bodies that were still in the car were covered in bites and slashes." He explained. "And the bites and claw marks now make you think attack. But that could actually be the culprits." Stiles concluded. The Sheriff nodded agreeing. "Except the accident occurred of a full moon, which makes it suspicious."
"Where are the case files going?" Stiles asked his father. "Rafael McCall asked for them all because he's trying to impeach me."

It was now the next day and I was sitting in class next to Stiles and Scott, I got bored so I decided to start drawing. Coach was currently asking Stiles a question and he was not responding. Suddenly Stiles jumps in his seat. "I asked you a question!" Coach yells at him. I look over to him and see words scribbled over his notepad. "Can you repeat it please?" He asked Coach. "It was Stilinski, are you paying attention back there?" "I am now." He responded.
Both Scott and I looked at him with worry. "I'm okay, I just fell asleep for a sec." He tried to reassure us but we weren't buying it. We both looked closer at Stiles's notebook and saw he had written wake up repeatedly. "Stiles-" I began. "You didn't fall asleep." Scott finished my sentence both of us still staring at the book. Stiles looked down and saw the writing sprawled across his book.
The bell rang and we packed up and headed to meet the others. During free period we were all sitting outside and talking about her situation. "What happens to a person who has a near death experience and comes out of it seeing things?" Scott asked. "And is unable to tell what's real or not." Stiles adds. "And is being haunted by demonic visions of dead relatives." Allison says. "Well, all those people are locked in asylums for being insane." Isaac quips. "Isaac be helpful." Stiles said. "For half my childhood I was locked in a freezer, so being helpful is kind of a new thing for me." Isaac replies. "Oh stop milking that excuse." Stiles fired back.
Next thing we know the new girl shows up. "I overheard you talking about your symptoms. It sounds like that you are talking about, the in between state between life and death." We all turn to stare at the girl. "And you're called?" Lydia asks. "Kira." Scott says before the girl and speak and they grin at each other. "Is this in Tibetan Buddhism or Indian?" Lydia asks again. "It's both." the new gi- Kira answered.
"All the things you described happen in bardo. There are states where there are hallucinations, some you can see, some you can just hear. And you can be visited by peaceful and wrathful deities." She continues to explain. "What are wrathful deities?" I questioned Kira. "Demons." she responded. "Demons! Why not.." Stiles replied clearly pissed off. "What is the final state? If it has progressive states." Allison asks. "You die." Our faces fell as soon as she said that.

I decided to tag long with the Sheriff, Stiles and Scott to help figure out what happened in that accident. We pulled up to Henry Tate's house. As I hopped out of the car I was laughing at Stiles about something funny he told me in the car.
The Sheriff went in through the back door as Stiles, Scott and I snuck through the back and into a room for a little girl. Stiles and I started offering Scott items to see if he could get Malia's scent. "All I'm getting is some animal smell." Scott says. "What kind?" Stiles questions. We all stop dead at the sound of a growl. "Dog." Scott said quietly. I slowly turned around and saw a rottweiler standing in the room looking right at us. "Don't move." I whisper.
"Get rid of the dog." Stiles told Scott. "I don't know how." He responds. "Glow your eyes at it and act all alpha-ish" Stiles said calmly. "No, I'm not sure I can control myself." Next thing we know the dog starts barking. "Shhh" I whisper to it. It keeps barking. "Oh my gosh, shut up!" I whisper yell at the dog. It keeps barking at me until Henry yelled out "Shut up!" Eventually the dog leaves. "I can't pick up any other scent other than dog." Scott said defeated. "Don't worry about it." I comfort him. Stiles spots a photo of Malia and her sister. He quickly takes a photo of it. "Okay lets get out of here." I whisper to them. They nod and we continue out the path we came avoiding the dog.
We waited outside by the car and before long the Sheriff was back outside. "I'm sorry I couldn't get a scent." Scott says disappointed. "It's not your fault, it was a terrible idea anyway. I think I just ripped a wound open in that poor man. I never should have brought you guys here. I don't know what I was thinking." the Sheriff said defeated. He walks off to go figure something out.
Scott turned to Stiles. "Are there a lot of cases that go unsolved?" He asked him. "There are, but my dad thought maybe he could figure this one out right now." Stiles admitted. "Why is it so important now?" Scott asked. When Stiles begun to explain the impeachment investigation I decided to sit in the car and give them a moment.
~TIME SKIP~
I got a mysterious text from Stiles in the middle of the night to meet him and Scott in the woods. I decided to walk and breathe in some fresh air while see the nice night sky. I finally arrived where they told me to meet them. "So what was that oh so secret, cryptic text message about?" I said flashing him a smile. "I don't know what you're talking about." He denied. "Oh really?" I say pulling my phone out. "And I quote: Izzy, Scott and Stiles, Woods" I said laughing.
Stiles gave in and explained the situation. "If my dad is right then there's another werewolf in town we haven't met. If they're triplets that transform into Cerberus, I'm not up for that." He said the last part with sarcasm in his voice. "I'm not up for unfriendly werewolves either, since I can't control myself." Scott said. "I second that, plus I haven't practiced magic in days getting a bit rusty." I added.
All of a sudden we hear a howling. I Stiles pushed me behind him and I grabbed onto him, while he grabbed Scott making him fall down his phone falling out of his pocket. Scott retrieved his phone making sure it still worked. I let go of Stiles when I felt a little safer and he grabbed the flash light from Scott. He was shining it around until he stopped in his tracks and ran. Both Scott and I ran after him. Stiles had found the car crash.
"It's still here? Why hasn't it been hauled away as evidence?" Scott asked surprised. "Maybe the inaccessibility of the crash probably made them decide it wasn't worth the trouble to find a way to get it out." Stiles suggested. I shrugged and turned the flashlight on my phone on heading towards the wreck the boys in toe. I found claw marks on the door and pipe up. "Guys, I found claw marks, looks like it's too wide apart to be an animals paw. I'm starting to believe that a werewolf attacked the car." We were all looking in the car when Stiles found the doll that Malia was holding in the photo. Stiles pulled it out and we all stared at it. "I'm hungry" the doll says, making Stiles scream and I jump back. Scott's head flew up when he heard growling, he turned around and ran towards what looks like to eyes in the darkness. "Scott!" Stiles and I call after him, but he is too focused on the chase to hear us.
NEXT TIME ON ILLUSION
"How about we keep looking and meet up with him later?" I asked Stiles. He nodded reluctantly knowing Scott could hold his own and would be safe. We started to walk further into the forest to look for more clues. "Hey, you never told me why you moved here." Stiles said hinting at the question he was clearly wanting to know the answer to. I sigh, "Well-"
I sit Stiles down, "Hey, Stiles look at me. How can you tell something isn't a dream." I ask him. "You can count your fingers. Because you have extra in a dream."
So that is the chapter! I hope you enjoyed! I will be updating a lot more often now as I have a time table of when to upload!
