Hello readers,

After along time I've updated. And before you read in, I have to admit that I have no idea about medical stuff so if my description in those area is bad, pls forgive me.

Chapter 6 - Its all a blur

Stiles woke up suddenly, his eyes shot open as his mind continued on the brutal accident he was in before he closed his eyes unconscious. The rolling down the hill felt like never ending. His body hit all corners of the jeep and he felt the pain soar through his body. But the low white ceiling brought him the understanding that he was no longer inside the jeep. Then the sharp pain from his shoulder hit him like a tidal wave and he took a deep breath but something else bothered him. He felt his lungs filling up without even trying. Confusion took over his sanity. He tried to get up as if on self protective autopilot but couldn't summon the strength. Then He tried to pull out what ever was stuck in his mouth so he could at least breath but the pain radiating from his shoulders stopped him. He badly wanted to take a deep breath although he wasn't out of breath. It just didn't feel right that he wasn't breathing for himself. He tried to get up again but a hand softly pushed him down. When he turned to his left he saw that the hand belonged to the sour wolf who was now staring at him.

"Stiles" he spoke softly, his hand moving from stiles s' shoulder to press the button that signaled the doctors. " you are okay, you are safe. Please be calm"

"Stiles stopped the struggle at Derek's words. He tried to touch what was on his mouth again but Derek stopped him.

" you've got a breathing tube in to help you breath. " he said.

Stiles stopped in understanding as he felt the cold wires that ran from his mouth over his chest down to his side. Though he wanted to tell Derek to just pull it out he couldn't because of the tube. His throat felt sore and the lips were burning.

"They said they will remove it As soon as you can breath on your own again. Just hold on until then. It wont be that long." Derek said as if he understood it.

Stiles wanted to ask a thousand questions that came to his mind but he understood he had to just wait for the doctor. Derek's calm full demeanor and the unusually kind green eyes that stared at him was somehow calming him down. Just then a doctor and a few nurses rushed in to his room and Derek was shoved to a side. He observed the uneasiness Stiles was showing as the doctor slowly explained things to Stiles. Being so close to all the emotions, he felt the pain of that boy. What Derek couldn't understand was the confusion and uneasiness that evaporated from him. It was like the doctor no matter how kindly and slowly explained things to Stiles he was only confusing him more and more. Derek understood that Stiles didn't like the doctor. But why?

The doctor spoke to stiles in a calm but a steady voice . "I am going to remove your breathing tube Stiles and I want you to take a deep breath and cough for me on the count to three. This will feel uneasy but I will make this as short as possible. After that I will place this mask so you can breath easily. Do you understand?"

Stiles did not give the nod the doctor expected. Instead he frowned at the mask. He looked confused and scared. A simple command like a cough looked like it was too much for him. But the doctor waited expectantly who did not have the sixth sense Derek had. So Derek walked to Stile's bed and placed his hand on his arm reassuringly.

"Stiles, you know me right? " Derek asked And Stiles gave a slight nod.

" you are safe now. I'm here, you need to help the doctor take this tube off you and the mask will only help you breath easily."

Stiles took a long pause to digest the information. His mind clearly taking time to place the pieces of his whereabouts. But he trusted Derek. So he must be in the hospital like he says. Stiles gave another nod and on a count of three the doctor started pulling out the tube. Stiles started gagging. The saliva blocking his airway was sucked out by the nurse but it looked like he was fighting it. Fighting something he couldn't name. A different set of images played his mind and only Stiles knew it. He clutched on to Derek's hand so tight that his nails bit in to his skin. But the wolf only murmured words that calmed him down and he stopped fighting just as the tube came out. The few seconds it took had taken a toll on Stiles. He looked red and more confused. And he pulled out the oxygen mask the instant the doctor put it on. Derek had to put it back and reassure that he was safe just so he would keep the oxygen mask. As he calmed down and his breathing was steady, the sedation worked on him and he fell asleep. Derek went out of the room to let the doctors do their work

Derek sat on a chair outside the hospital. He knew that what ever checkups doctors were performing on Stiles would take time. The teen took three days to wake up from the concussion he got when his jeep rolled down a steep. He picked up the phone to call Scott who was at school and was answered immediately with the background noise of his teacher shouting at him to switch off the phone. Scott didn't seem to care.

"He woke up" Derek said unwittingly letting on his relief. "I don't know much but the doctors are working on him. They kicked me out. "

"I'm coming " Scott said and almost kept the phone when he heard the older wolf speak again.

"Finish your class, the doctors seem to take time. I'll update you "

"I can't concentrate anyways, I'm coming" Scott's protest came along the phone line and before Derek could say anything else to change his mind Scott had kept the phone and stumbled out of the class followed by Lydia, Malia and Kira .

"I'm sorry sir, but Stiles just woke up" he mumbled to the teacher right before he shut the door behind them. Detention will be ready for them tomorrow, but that will be on tomorrow and right now most important thing is to see their friend and end the long wait to see what really happened to him.

After waiting for about ten minutes Derek walked to the ER section of the hospital. He stepped close to the booth where he sensed the presence of Darya and waited until she came out. He could hear the conversation going between the patient who was a very old man trying to flirt his way out of the medicine and Darya expertly trapping him in his own words. Relieved by Stiles waking up from his self indulged unconsciousness that ran for three days he could now smile and laugh at things without feeling guilty or without having stiles's bruised body blocking his mind.

"He woke up?"Darya asked from Derek as she stepped out of the booth.

"Yes , about ten minuets ago" Derek said as they briskly walked to Stiles's room. "Put on quite a fight with the breathing tube"

"Its a common thing among patients with tubes when they become conscious" Darya said but she stopped in front of their destination because Derek seemed to have something else bothering him.

"It wasn't just the tube, there was something else, he was scared AND confused like...he didn't like the doctor like he couldn't figure out if the doctor was real or not." Derek finished the sentence unsure of what he himself said . "there is something else at play in his mind"

"We still don't know what happened, lets hope he remembers"

After a knock Darya walked in leaving Derek alone and wondering outside Stiles room once again. A few minuets in to his loneliness a very worried sheriff ran in and all of a sudden his emotions overwhelmed Derek. His fear for the life of his son, a bit of guilt, a bit of loneliness and a lot of love for his son mixed with anxiety, distress emanating from the sheriff filled up and blocked all Derek's senses.

"I just got the call, how was he? Did he speak?" he asked a line of questions from Derek and Derek had to clear up his senses before he answered.

"Don't worry, he recognized me, kind of listened to what I said, I'm sure those are good signs" he said and felt a little bit of stress leaving the sheriff, although he wasn't sure if it was normal for Stiles to listen to what Derek say.

"Derek " the sheriff spoke up and patted Derek's shoulder. "I never got the chance to thank you, for finding him, staying here guarding him, for everything"

Derek nodded silently accepting the gratitude. It wasn't everyday he received a 'thank you' to everything he did behind the curtain. As he and the sheriff sat side by side on the bench waiting outside Stiles's room his mind ran to the moment it all started when Malia fished around her pockets to find her phone when Derek drew the packs attention to the missing human member. He remembered how when she did call him and he did not pick up how alarmed the pack became.

"He said he will be here in ten minutes. " Scott pointed out. "I went to get Lydia and so he should have come to the loft even before us"

the pack members phoned around looking for him and when he was nowhere to be found they decided to drive around looking for his scent. They knew that any minute spent could be dangerous but they didn't have to look too far as they sensed his scent and found his body trapped in his jeep which had rolled down a steep hill. Scott in one try pulled the steering wheel out of the jeep and Derek pulled out Stiles's body and laid him on the ground careful not to disturb his spine in case there was a spinal code damage. While Lydia called for emergency services Malia stood there stoned not knowing how to deal with the emotions that hit her like a tidal wave when she could not register his heartbeat. It was new to her and she could not figure out what she was feeling. She did not figure out why her heart thumped like it was about to burst out of her chest when she saw Derek checking for pulse. She did not figure out why she felt so weak in her legs and she kneed on the ground when she saw Derek and Scott performing CPR on Stiles. And she did realized what it was finally when Stiles's body gagged and started breathing again. She could hear his heart beating that was music to her ears and she had just realized she was in love with him. It wasn't just spooning and dating him. It was love.

Kira softly pulled her aside realizing her friend's state and the fox in her couldn't help but recognize the new thing that lingered in her aura. The smell of burning love.

The paramedics rolled the gurney in to the ambulance and requested someone to accompany him. Derek looked from Scott to Malia to Scott and signaled Scott to get in. Unsure , Scott looked back at Malia and Kira nodded him. Scott in his haste to save Stiles was oblivious to Malia and her inability to process human feelings that were still new to her. But one look at her told Derek she was in no state to ride with an almost dead Stiles. So when the ambulance disappeared with Scott and Stiles he took her shoulders and muttered her a few words that immediately made her pull herself together.

"He is in love with you too Malia, so he can't leave you. He can't leave any of us"

So she hugged her biological cousin until her heart calmed down and beat at a normal rate. The rain started and drenched them by the time they reached the road uphill and made it to the hospital.

The same rain poured on to the tin roof of the shack that was once used by the hunters as a resting place. Abandoned a long time ago when the forest was declared a preserve and hunting was prohibited, it could hardly be recognized apart from the weed and trees that occupied it now, until two blues eyed creatures took its broken roof and fallen walls to be their residence. The creatures were more animal than human. More animal than their own type due to their treated DNA structure. And the dark eyed man responsible for it stood ahead of them and the blue eyed werewolves kneed in surrender. They shuddered as he walked between the broken walls of the shack.

"You've ruined two chances, lets hope the police boy will work out for us. But the procedure was done in a hurry I am not so sure about accuracy" The dark eyed man said taking out a syringe out of his coat pockets. The rabid wolves stiffened at its sight and their eyes locked in to it like a magnet. Their nostrils flared taking in the scent of the black ooze in the syringe and just the scent of it seemed to satisfy their senses.

The man waved it in the air. "Next step is the most important, we could hit two birds with one stone. If you fail this plan I will put you down and I wont care a damn about the work I put in to you."

The rabid wolves nodded in agreement as their eyes followed the syringe that waved in the air.

"But we have caused more than enough distraction with failed plans. Damn you two you cannot even take down mere humans"

"Its the true alpha or the Hale " one of the rabid wolves raised his anger through gritted teeth. "Their senses are too powerful, the true alpha I can understand, but the Hale?" he questioned.

"He is born a ware wolf, The rich bastard is one heir to the hales. The Hales are descendants from the originals. Thus their blood is so pure and the wolf in them is unusually powerful. Derek Hale and his siblings are special because both of his parents are direct descendants from the originals. He is a perfect specimen for my unfinished work" the black eyed man stopped his movements and thought for a while. "When the police boy becomes my pet, he will bring Scott McCall to me , no problem. When Scott McCall is mine the Hale will come running in all his fours. Thanks to the stupid brother hood they share I can make both of them work for me willingly. unless he gives himself willingly the test wont succeed" . Do you understand me? you do nothing that ruins it " he asked pointing the syringe at the rabid wolves. Too absorbed by the attention to what's in syringe the rabid wolves didn't make a sound. The man stomped his feet and roared. "Do you ?" The rabid taken aback by the sudden roar visibly shook and leaned back with fear.

"So we wait until the commotion created by you is forgotten. We wait until they make their first mistake and let their guard down. Let them enjoy life for a little longer. Until then you keep observing"

When the rabid wolves nodded in unison the man came forward and injected the black liquid to the rabid and observed how peaceful they looked as the black ooze penetrated their skin and entered the blood stream. The effect was immediate. Their shudder stopped. They looked like they got a new life as their blue eyes shone like sapphires.

"They came after me like it was NASCAR"

Stiles mumbled in a dry voice. His voice not back to normal after the accident and the breathing tube had only worsened the situation. His lips were chipped and the voice was hoarse. He wasn't suppose to talk a lot but he couldn't wait to tell his friends what happened. He had enough time to ponder and put pieces of memories in to their places during the time he was subject to various tests which Stiles lost count of. Only then he was allowed to talk to family. When he said the whole gang waiting outside his room was family the doctor raised an eyebrow and instructed the nurse to allow ten minutes maximum talk time and to make sure he doesn't get overwhelmed or tired. When his dad and friends walked in to his room followed by Derek, he couldn't wait to tell his side of the story.

"I had just passed the town area when I first noticed them. They were following me and didn't even tried to hide the fact. So when they sped at me I took this sharp 'U' turn coz I thought it would be better to go back to the busy area, I couldn't control the jeep. I rolled down the hill and then I remember two ware wolves pulled me out and took me on their back to somewhere. I remember the pain in my ribs but they put me on some kind of a bed and put this mask like an oxygen mask is all I remember. When I woke up I was here and Derek was staring at me.

"So that is why you were confused, that is why you pulled off the oxygen mask because you couldn't differentiate between them and the hospital."

"Its all a blur, but I can now tell for sure that place was something like a basement. Surely not the hospital, not any hospital"

"Can you remember anything else? Can you recognize them If you see them?

Stiles shook his head at Derek. "Nothing, I told you it happened in a blur"

"Do you think it could be the two rabids " Derek questioned again in a desperate attempt to find clues.

Stiles looked confused, " yes" he replied. "Didn't I tell you that before? their eyes gleamed blue"

" you just said ware wolves, we wanted to make sure they were the two rabids who attacked us earlier" Malia prompted. She could see how confused Stiles looked.

"I can't say for sure, it all happened in a blur" came the usual reply from Stiles and a worries glance was exchanged between Darya and Derek.

A nurse opened the door to the room and peeked in. "Dr. Flood" she called Darya. "The ten minutes are up" Darya nodded in agreement as the nurse went back.

"Listen, I've checked you myself multiple times, there are marks of a syringe injection in your body, but I did not mention that in my report. Good news is your blood reports are all clear. so maybe what ever injected was just a sedation" Darya explained in a hurry. She had to make sure Stiles's abduction and his memories were not underestimated.

"So..." Stiles asked curiously. Everybody listening in carefully at what Darya was saying. Their faces a mirror of what the human boy was feeling. His father sat on a chair unable to bear the realization that his son wasn't hallucinating when he mentioned being taken. Part of him just wish it was so he could expect to forget it. But Darya's observations confirmed otherwise.

"That means your body is free of any supernatural interference as far as the lab equipment could go."

Stiles nodded in relief. Others in the room relaxed their tensed bodies.

"but you will have to stay here for at least a week until your ribs are okay to move, your leg though is a bit of a long story, its gonna put you away for at least a month on clutches. "

This earned a groan from stiles.

"You can start using clutches after the first two weeks. And then you might need physiotherapy to get it working properly. But stiles, you are lucky. Considering the one hell of a fall you took, you are way too lucky. All the other details are of minor injuries. You should be fine."

A nurse popped her head in. "Doctor Flood, you are needed"

" I should get going then. We all should" She said motioning others who had no idea of leaving stiles.

As they stepped out of his room the outside waiting area became a mini meeting room.

"There is something else bothering you" Derek said as he pulled on his jacket.

"Yes, and you are not gonna like it" Darya said clutching on to the patient info board that held Stiles's name.

" Stiles has puncture marks on his thighs, two which doctor Fraser missed, and his first MRI was thrown away by the technician who thought it had a technical faults. Because the area in the brain that is activated when you hallucinate showed to be way too active. the MRI shone like a bulb that he threw it away thinking it was a technical fault. So the guy restarted the machine and it came out fine. But I don't think it was the machine that was at fault.

Its stile's s brain was the thought that ran in every one's mind

"Wow that's scary for a guy who was possessed by an evil fox spirit" Scott snapped at the sheriffs displease.

"I know, and didn't you notice that he keep telling that everything went on in a blur, that he cannot remember anything much or recognize them but when you ask specific questions, he answers"

"Right, like when you asked about where he was taken he said it was a basement but initially he said he doesn't remember anything" Kira joined in. " And he said he cannot recognized them but when Derek asked if it could be two rabids he said yes"

"All his answers are followed by a 'it was all a blur' Malia said sitting next to the worries sheriff and running a soothing hand on his back. Perhaps they were too blunt to speak so freely about Stiles's condition in front of him.

"wait, so Stiles is hallucinating so what he remembers could be true or just imagination, but because of the puncture marks we know he is not totally hallucinating, he really was subject to some medical procedure" Kira clarified much to herself.

"So what do we do now? Malia asked before any other disturbing info is revealed. Wishing they could talk somewhere else without the sheriff.

"For now all we can do is wait and see . I've ordered a sample set of Stiles's first blood sample since he was admitted to the hospital so I could do a different set of testing with Dr. Deaton. We might be able to find what he was injected with if it was still in him."

They all took a minute to digest the information. Feeling like they were back in the square one with the fox spirit.

"I really have to go " Darya said breaking the silence. They nodded as she left.

"I'm staying with Stile" Scott said "Derek's been here straight up 36 hours, you should take a rest"

"What about others ? Malia asked, it has become a norm that no human member of the pack is left without supervision since Stiles's incident.

"I'm here so mom, Darya and stiles are covered" Scott said.

" And I can stay with Lydia" Kira offered.

"Right then, its settled. I will drop you guys at home" Derek said taking his car keys out of his jeans feeling a little bit of relief. Maybe he can take a rest after all.
