A/N: I know. I'm taking too long. Sorry. Life is still crazy. I'll update when I can, but don't give up on me! I shall finish this! :D This is a super duper short chapter, but I did that on purpose. This one is actually pretty intense for how short it is. Thanks, please leave a thought in the review box.

The air was nice and cool with a soft breeze in the night, but not cold at all.

Perfect night to kill.

Stiles stared down at his long, sharp claws and black fur in a wonderful satisfaction. With a snarl, he took off running on all fours, the dirt soft under his paws. The prey was only a few hundred feet away—he could smell her. The flowery odor was in the air, and he had heard her heartbeat miles away.

Absolutely perfect.

He was closer now, and that's when she began to run. Alone and vulnerable, but still fighting for life. Still clinging to the cruel world like it was the kindest thing she ever wanted. But no, this would be kinder. If he could grin right now as the monster he was, oh boy, would he. Even then he felt his lip curl up slightly over his razor fangs.

A scream suddenly emitted from the prey, and he leaped on her to shut her up, shoving her into a stone in the ground with the name "Claudia Stilinski" engraved in the center. A crack came on impact, and Stiles felt the life slip away under his claws; he slowly stepped away, disappointed. What fun was it when they died before he could cut into their still blood-pumping body? No fun at all, but whatever.

Stiles walked away, leaving her there without another mark. No point now, anyway.

Miles from her body, Stiles Stilinski woke up screaming.

"Mom!" Stiles yelled as he sat upright in bed. He was shivering. This was wrong. This was all wrong. Furiously he began counting his fingers in the darkness, but instead of saying the numbers out loud, he whispered to himself over and over again. Mom. Dad. Don't let them in. Don't let them in. It wasn't you. It wasn't you.

Somewhere in the back of his mind he was aware of Scott putting a hand on his shaking arm, saying something to him slowly, but Stiles couldn't hear it. He didn't want to. It was too real this time. Far too real. Not right. Definitely not right. Hardly a dream at all. That girl…

"Stiles!" Now Scott's shout broke through, shaking Stiles even more than his own body was alone. Stiles just mouthed the word "no," or maybe whispered it, and continued the important mutters.

Scott must have left around now, because suddenly he was back. Scott was back. And now someone else was in here too. Her soft, but callused hands were on his face, and then at his throat. He didn't know what was going on, but it wasn't right. It was happening all over again. He was back. And it wasn't right. Don't let them in. Don't let them in.

It was getting harder to breathe, but this didn't feel like a panic attack. It was something else. Because something was wrong. Stiles was wrong. His mind couldn't connect anything. He was the one who always figured it out. Always. Connected things. Figured it out. Figured it out.

Almost as if something was trying to share his mind space. Again. The same feeling when… when the evil kitsune was here. Here to kill. He was going to kill again. Stiles couldn't let him. Not, no…

There was some pain in his chest, but that was the only thing Stiles could focus on. That and his feverish murmurs. Mom. Dad.

It wasn't you. It wasn't you.

It isn't right.

Something is wrong.

And suddenly Stiles jerked his head up and sucked in a huge breath. A thin layer of cold sweat was blanketing his body. The dream…? Someone else had died. That was right, someone had died.

He looked around to see Scott kneeling next to the bed Stiles was sitting up in. That was right, Stiles had stayed over at his house last night because of how late it was. But why was Scott's mom in there? Odd. They were both staring at him with utterly fearful expressions on their faces.

Stiles blinked and turned to Scott.

"What's wrong?"

A/N: What the heck just happened? One second everything wasn't right, then it was, then it wasn't…? Please leave a review! Tell me what you think! Thank you so much. I'll update when I can.
