Scott was asleep holding onto Kira as tight as possible. It was the first person in the world who ever made him feel safe other than a girl he dated in high school, but let's save that for later.

He started to feel uneasy when he could here someone's heartbeat triple in speed. His eyes shot open and he listened closer. It wasn't Kira's, he could tell. It was close but not that close. He let his instincts take over pinpointing the location of the beating heart. He shot out of bed waking Kira in the midst. She opened her eyes to see him shooting out of the room. Scott burst into Lydia's room unsure of why hear heartbeat was so fast. She was laying flat on her back and there was no one else in the room. He got closer and saw that her eyes were wide. He waved his hands over her face. "Lydia? Lydiaaaa." He whispered but she didn't even blink.

Scott heard a shuffle behind him and turned to face the doorway where the sound came from. He saw Kira standing there with her Katana. She was in some volley ball shorts and a tank top. She gave a look that said: 'What's wrong?' He just shrugged back. Kira doubled back when she saw Lydia spring up in her bed and release a terrifying scream. It was high-pitched and deafening. Scott screamed her name but it didn't help at all but he kept trying louder and harder with every attempt. Eventually he screamed so hard that every veign in his neck bulged and his eyes glowed red. Kira could swear she heard three voices coming from Scott's throat. When that didn't work Kira tried shaking her awake and even going as far as to use a small amount of electricity to try and shock her awake but that didn't work. The two stood back and covered their ears. Scott was closer than Kira which is why his ears started to bleed, leaking thick red liquid's between his fingers.

Stiles awoke to a terrible sound that made his ears hurt. He roled over cringing and clinched his ears. His first thought was Void Stiles. "Leave me alone!" He shook. Even though that was the only explanation he didn't really believe it. It didn't really seem like the nogitsune. He didn't really possess females. Stiles was afraid of what might happen if Void came back. He would threaten the lives of his friends. Even worse he was living near a college, the body count would be way worse this time. The worse thing of all is that anything could happen to Lydia. He didn't want to hurt Lydia. The best thing he could do was leave and go as far away from anyone he knew as possible. He decided to just get in his Jeep and drive until he felt far enough for Lydia's safety. He got up from his bed not wanting to waste any time, but was caught off guard when above the terifying scream he could hear Scott and Kira yelling Lydia's name. His mind went blank and he shot across the hall to Lydia's room where Kira and Scott stood clenching their ears. Lydia was sitting up in her bed screaming as if to be in pain. She had a horrifying look across her face. He had never seen her like this but he knew exactly what was happening. He brushed past his two roommates that stood between Lydia and he. He sat next to Lydia and put his right arm around her waist pulling her into him. Her screams made him cringe in pain. Without caring he grabbed her left hand in his and leaned his head against hers. Scott and Kira were confused about what was going on but neither of them knew of anything else to try. He pulled her as close as gravity would allow and at that moment he whispered into her ear. "Lydia. Lydia it's okay. I'm here to help." He knew that her screams where drowning out his words but he also knew that somehow she could hear him. "Lydia, it's Stiles.." His voice was as soft as soft gets, echoing through her mind. "..come back. Come back to me." He looked into her cold green eyes and could see them gaining life little by little until she finally stopped screaming. Scott and Kira sighed in releif while Stiles gripped Lydia's hand tighter. She looked around to see Scott's ears bleeding and Kira picking up her Katana. Lydia looked at Stiles with the sorriest eyes and he countered her stare with his own forgiving eyes. She seemed to lose tention and relax. She slid down and relaxed into him as he kissed the top of her head. She let out a sharp sigh and closed her eyes. Scott gave Stiles a nod and left the room with Kira. But not before he got a look at the two. Scott's ears where healing extremely fast and Kira held a Katana in her glowing fingertips. He didn't talk, he just decided to wait until tomorrow. Scott and Kira settled into his bed. Instead of talking they just laid in silence until they passed out.

Stiles awoke to complete silence and no Lydia. He was still in her bed wearing only pajama pants and a t-shirt. Looking around he spotted the clothes Lydia had slept in the previous night on the floor. He got up and walked down the hallway looking into every bedroom to find no one in sight. He could hear muttered voices from downstairs that he immediately recognised as his missing roommates. The girls where in the kitchen talking and Scott sat in the living room on the couch. Stiles gallopped down the stairs to see Lydia leaning against the counter and Kira sitting ontop of the counter. They stopped talking and smiled at him. He knew they were talking about last night as well as Scott who was on his phone talking to Dereck trying to figure something out. Something that Stiles already knew the answer to. He sighed knowing he had to tell them. He couldn't hold it to himself, someone's life was in danger and it was time for him to reveal what he knew.

"Hokay." He breathed out. "Come on, let's go." He gestured for the two girls to go into the living room. They looked at each other and shrugged. They all walked into the living room and he told them to sit. Stiles took Scott's phone and hung up. Now with his roommates' full attention he didn't know where to start. He was now pacing back and forth across the room. Kira sighed , Scott leaned back on the couch, and Lydia looked at her nails.

"Stiles!" They all yelled making him fall in fear.

"What?" He retorted.

"You wanna tell us why we're sitting here?" Scott asked.

"Uh, yea. Uhm, okay. So uhh...no that's, thats...Okay so uh...we...shit..."

"Just say it!" They spoke in unison again.

"You know, that's starting to get scary."

"Stiles." Kira spoke irritated.

"Okay, okay. Uhm, alright. We have a problem."

"What sort of problem?"

"A catastrophic problem."

"Catastrophic?" Scott didn't know the meaning.

"Something that causes or involves sudden, great damage or suffering." Lydia spoke.

Scott and Kira looked at her still lost.

"Apocalyptic." She tried but they still didn't understand. "Cataclysmic?" Still nothing.

"Oh great use of that one." Stiles complimented.

"Thank you." Lydia was delighted.

"Hello, roommates still lost over here." Scott destroyed the moment.

"Uhh, it means something bad. Horrible, scary, maiming bad."

"Horrible, scary maiming as in..."

"As in someone's gonna die."

"What, how would you know that?"

"I don't...Lydia does." He whispered the last part.

"What, me?" Lydia put a hand on her chest.

"Okay let me explain. Scott you, you are a warewolf."

"What? You're crazy." Scott tried playing it off.

"No need to play it off. I knew since the day we moved in here. You're an alpha."

"What's an alpha?" Kira asked.

"It's like the leader of the pack."

"And do you have a pack?" She turned to Scott but got an answer from Stiles.

"Yeah, the two guys. Dereck, Liam, maybe others."

"Okay, Stiles. That's not really how I wanted Kira to find out." Scott glared at him.

"And Kira." He turned to the surprised girl. "You are a fox."

"Dude." Scott was offended. "I'm sitting right here."

"No, no you know what, that wasn't the official word. Kira is a Kitsune. Which means..."

"Fox spirit." Lydia mumbled just loud enough for everyone to hear. Kira buried her face in her hands.

"I'm sorry, I know this isn't how you guys expected this to come out but it had to."

"What about last night?" Scott asked. "Why'd Lydia scream like that?"

"Lydia's a Banshee. Often called the wailing woman. A Banshee scream signals death. And we have to find out who's going to be killed and prevent it."

"And how do we do that?"

"I'm not sure but someone is going to die if not already."

"So, what about you?" Lydia pointed at Stiles.

"Me?"

"Yeah, what are you supposed to be."

"I was once possessed by a Nogitsune." He looked at the blank faces. "An evil fox spirit."

"Ohhhh." They exclaimed.

"So how do we go about this?" Scott asked.

"I don't know about you guys but I don't believe in any of this..." Lydia stood.

"Bu...Lydia." Stiles stepped toward her but she stopped him.

"No, Stiles. Last night...wasn't normal but it's nothing new. It happens and there's no way to stop it. I'm gonna take a shower and get ready for school. And DON'T try to follow me." Stiles watched her walk away and didn't say anything.

"Are you okay?" Scott asked without looking at her. She nodded as though he could see it and then let out a sharp sigh.

"So all of your friends are...?" She pushed the words out.

"Yeah." He admitted.

"And you're,"

"Yeah." He was afraid to look at her. Kira knew his secret now and the atmosphere between them felt different now. He tried thinking of something, anything but his mind on drew blank. He was afraid but she was determined. Determined to break the tension between them, to make things like they were when they woke up this morning. They were in Kira's room and she was sitting on the bed behind him with her legs crossed. She stood up and walked around to make him look at her face to face.

"Can I see?" She asked getting a surprised expression.

"Are you sure?" She nodded without hesitation. He looked around as though someone else was there. He closed his eyes and lowered his head filling her with anticipation. She felt as though she'd been waiting forever. When he finally lifted his head again his ears were sharpened, he had facial hair now. The bridge of his now flattened nose had widened. But above all she noticed his fiery red eyes. She reached out to touch his face, delicately running her small fingertips across his every feature. She smiled as she pulled her hand back but her smile went away as quickly as it came.

"Do you have your phone?" He nodded. "I'm gonna show you something no one else has ever seen. Take a picture of me, and use the flash." He thought weirdly of it but didn't question it. Getting out his phone he turned to her and snapped the picture. Looking down at his phone he noticed the weird golden glow around Kira.

"Woah."

"Yeah."

"What is it?"

"It's like an invisible armor, when it first started I thought it was some kind of demon. But I know now it's there to protect me." She looked at him and her eyes glowed orange.

Stiles was outside of Lydia's bedroom. He hesitated over and over before finally getting up the courage to knock. He gave three knocks. "Who is it?" Lydia's voice called from the other side of the door.

"St...Stiles." He spoke at a normal tone.

"Come in." He hesitated but eventualy grabbed the knob and twisted it. He walked in to see Lydia standing at the closet with her back to him. She had just finished showering and was still wearing only a towel. Her hair was wet and stuck to her skin and there were still driplets of water streaming down her body almost making Stiles feint. He stared moronicly at her until she snapped him out of it saying,"What?" irratively.

"I...wanted to see if you were okay."

"Yes, I'm fine, now get out."

"W...wait. We need to talk."

She let out a sharp breath. "About what?"

"About...people...spicificaly you."

"Why."

"Because if we don't...one of us might die."

AN: See what I did with Scott and Kira
