Chapter 5: Busted

"You have reached Chris Argent; I can't answer the phone right. Please leave a message-," I slam my thumb on my iPhone screen ending the call.

This had to be the seventh call I sent to him along with countless text messages to Allison wondering where they are.

So much for southern hospitality.

This would be the day that I forgot to take the spare key.

I could just go back to my house but it could look suspicious if someone is watching it. Or if the fox demon is there waiting.

I cringe at the thought of bumping into him again; I would take having to deal with the perv wolf again any day. Something is wrong outside of Stiles' situation I can feel it. Argent is gone but I know he isn't a man who just suddenly disappears without notice.

Frustrated, I push to start my car before driving out of the student parking lot. It is close to being dark and I would like to just eat something to settle my stomach. I look around the street hoping to get some tacos when I pull up to a red light. Drumming my thumbs on the steering wheel I carelessly look over to see Scott, Stiles and some new girl rushing to the veterinarian clinic.

No, no, not good.

My hunger is gone and an urge to protect them sets in. Cursing in the wind, I turn the car into the lot parking behind a Jeep.

"What are you guys doing," I ask stepping out of the car.

"Raquel, what are you doing here," Scott questions, "never mind just inside quickly."

Stiles scrambles to open the door as the Oni appears.

Kira whips out a sword and she and Scott tries to fight it off.

"Hurry up," I half whisper and half scream at Stiles.

Thankfully he opens it but I hear a grunt from Scott.

I look up to see a sword stabbed in the middle of his stomach.

"Get him inside! Get him inside," the new girl screams as she tries to fight off an Oni.

Quickly I grab on to his arm and carry him in as Kira follows behind. I follow Stiles lead as the Asian girl and I carry Scott. We lay him next to the metal bench as the girl freaks out.

"Stop. It's okay," he whispers looking at the sword.

I sat on the bench swinging my legs as if everything is normal. The girl and Scott look up as if I grew two heads.

"What," I ask, patting down my skirt.

"How are you not freaking out right now," she question putting her sword down.

Before I can get a say anything Stiles smash her head on the bench. I scoot back ready to jump but his hand catches my ankle pulling me to the floor hard. My head bounces hard against the bench sending stars in my vision.

I groan in pain as I lie next to the girl.

"Where do you think you're going, Raquel. The party is just beginning," he chuckles darkly before turning to Scott.

He pushes the sword in Scott deeper, twisting it in his stomach.

"You should have done your reading, Scott. See, a Nogitsune feeds off chaos, strife and pain."

He looks at me, tightening his grip on my ankle till a sickening crunch noise echoes in the room. I scream in pain.

"She knows, she knew all this time," he says before looking back at Scott.

"This morning, you took it from Isaac, and then you took it from Coach. And then from a dying deputy. All that pain. You took it all. Now, give it to me," he says placing his other hand on his face.

I can feel my energy leaving my body as he takes strength from Scott and I. Even though I have fed early, I feel like I am left with just enough to be breathing. Everything is moving in slow motion, my eyelids are getting too heavy.

"You really have to learn, Scott. You really have to learn to not trust a fox," he gloats before looking back at me.

I try to lift myself up but my body is too weak. My eyes close as my consciousness is slipping away.

"Especially a succubi."

I can't say awake, it is too late.

'I never encountered a succubus before, Scott. As long as I been alive I didn't think they exist but I'm not surprised.'

'What do we do with her, is she dangerous.'

'I don't know guys; she tried to save us from those Oni. She can't be entirely evil. Besides she is a cheerleader.'

'We can't take that kind of risk. After all we have been through she could kill us.'

I woke up gasping for air but I can feel my body is tied down. The room is spinning and the figures are moving from side to side. I close my eyes shut for a few seconds as my nausea settles down. Slowly one by one I open them to be greeted by a blinding overhead light. I can tell the bump behind my head is gone but the flesh is still tender. My ankle is healed as well.

"Y'all have a problem with tying people down," I grunt as the figure faces become clearer.

Scott, Allison, and one face I don't know.

"We wouldn't if you weren't a threat to us," Allison says rudely.

I look down on myself to see I am strapped down by thick chains. Even if I had all my strength I couldn't but these chains off of me.

"Trust me I am not a threat," I answer noticing my throat is parched.

"Kind of hard to believe," the dark skin man says.

"I'm guessing trust is earned and not given in the wolf pack, am I correct," I question looking at all of their faces. "If you untie me I will answer all of your questions."

"What is stopping us from killing you now," Scott challenges flashing his red eyes.

I chuckle I flash my own completely black ones as my face morphs into Allison's. They step back in shock as the rest of my body forms like hers.

"Because, you are going to want to hear what I got to say."

Please follow, favorite and/or review. I would love to hear some feed back from you.
