NOTE: The next bunch of chapters will mostly be written in Stiles' POV.

Stiles POV: He was dreaming he knew it yet didn't he was trapped in a locker and when he broke out he learned he was at the high school. He walked the halls at night only to see an open door. Inside the classroom was the Nemeton stump.

Slowly he approached it and when he went to touch it roots sprang up and grabbed his hand. Stiles shot up in bed breathing hard.

"You okay? Stiles?" Lydia asked lying in bed next to him.

"Yeah I was just dreaming. It was weird. It was like a dream within a dream" Stiles told her.

"A nightmare?" Lydia asked.

"Yeah. Wait a second Lydia. What are you doing here? Where's Selene?" Stiles asked.

Before he got his answer his bedroom door opened a crack.

"Hang on" Stiles said getting out of bed.

"Stiles where are you going?" Lydia asked.

"I should have closed the door" Stiles replied.

"Just go back to sleep."

"No no I should close it."

"Don't worry about it."

"What if someone comes in?"

"Like who? Just go back to sleep Stiles."

Slowly Stiles made his way to the door.

"No. But what if they get in?"

"What if who gets in? Stiles just leave it. Please. Stiles. Stiles come back to bed. Stiles please. Don't Stiles. Don't! Don't go in there please don't. Please Stiles don't!" Lydia begged as he opened the door and went inside.

Once through it light turned on and he was in the woods and in front of him was the Nemeton.

"It's a dream. This is just a dream. It's just a dream get it outta your head Stiles. You're dreaming. All right? So wake up Stiles. Wake up Stiles. Wake up!" he screamed.

Suddenly he opened his eyes he was alone in his bed and birds were chirping.

"Hey time to get up kiddo. Get your butt to school" his dad said opening the door.

Once at school he told Scott all about his dreams. It was weird though Selene wasn't anywhere around to hear about it too.

"And you couldn't wake up?" Scott asked.

"Nope and it was beyond terrifying. You ever heard of sleep paralysis?" Stiles asked him.

"Uh no do I want to?"

"Well have you ever had a dream where you feel like you're about to wake up but you can't move or talk?"

"Yeah. Yeah I've had that" Scott said.

"It happens because during REM sleep your body is basically paralyzed. It's called muscle atonia. That way if you start dreaming about running you don't actually start running in your bed" Stiles explained.

"That makes sense."

"But sometimes your mind can wake up before your body does. So for this split second you're actually aware that your body is paralyzed."

"And that's the terrifying part."

"It turns your dream into a nightmare. You can feel like your falling like you're being strangled or in my case like you're at the center of a grove of magical trees where human sacrifices took place."

"You think it means something?"

"What if what we did that night what if it's still affecting us?" Stiles asked.

"Post-traumatic stress?"

Then they walked into class and sat down.

"Or something. But you want to know what scares me the most? I'm not even sure this is real."

Stiles jerked up in bed screaming in pure terror this time truly awake. His dad ran in and grabbed him by his arms and sat behind him in the bed to calm him as he screamed.

"Hey hey hey. It's okay. It's okay. You're okay" his dad said holding him.

Selene ran into the room all wolfed out with claws and fangs looking for trouble.

"What happened? What's wrong?" she asked looking around.

"I don't know bad dream maybe" his dad said.

Slowly Selene let the wolf go back to normal since it still freaked his dad out a little. Then she walked over and got on the bed wrapping her arm around Stiles' hip and he finally started to calm down.

"Selene uh what are you doing here?" Mr. Stilinski asked.

"I was getting a drink he was sleeping fine when I left" she said.

"No I mean here in the house."

"Dad she sleeps here sometimes" Stiles softly answered when he was feeling a little more normal.

"Oh… I don't know how I feel about that."

"She's my mate dad it's more than a girlfriend or anything. It's a bond. We're bonded" Stiles explained and saw the look of pride and happiness in Selene's eyes.

"Oh well… I guess…" Slowly Mr. Stilinski just left them to it.

"Hey try to go back to sleep okay? I won't go anywhere I promise" Selene said when he gripped her tighter.

Slowly he lay back down.

"It was weird you weren't in any of my dreams yet somehow I knew you should be there I think that's how I knew it wasn't real" Stiles said as he lay facing her.

"I'm here and this is real I'll always be with you" she kissed him softly and he slowly let himself fall back to sleep this time without the nightmares.

When he woke up again she was still there.

"This is real it's morning and we have school" she said without opening her eyes.

When she did she smiled at him. As he got ready for school he went to put one of his books in his bag but when he looked at the book he couldn't read it the letters weren't in order.

"Hey. You all right? You ready for school?" his dad asked looking in his room.

"Yeah. Yeah I'm good. Dad seriously I'm fine. It was just a nightmare. What's that?" Stiles asked seeing the box his dad was carrying.

"That's just uh files from the office."

"It says 'Sheriff's station do not remove'."

"Well yeah unless you're the sheriff."

"Oh."

"Now get your butt to school all right?"

Once at school things got weirder. Scott literally ran into him.

"Hey. Hey you all right? You don't look all right Scott" Stiles said.

"I'm okay" Scott said.

"No you're not. It's happening to you too. You're seeing thing aren't you?"

"How'd you know?"

"Because it's happening to all three of you" Lydia said coming up behind them with Allison.

"Well well look who's no longer the crazy one" Lydia said as they followed her into the school.

"We're not crazy" Allison said.

"Hallucinating? Sleep paralysis? Yeah you guys are fine" Lydia said sarcastically.

"We did die and come back to life. That's gotta have some side effects right?" Scott said.

"We keep an eye on each other. Okay? And Lydia stop enjoying this so much" Stiles said grabbing Selene's hand and walking off to class.

"What?" Lydia asked innocently.

"Good morning everyone. My name is Mr. Yukimura. I'll be taking over for your previous History teacher. My family and I moved here three weeks ago. I'm sure by now you all know my daughter Kira. Or you might not since she's never actually mentioned anyone from school. Or brought a friend home for that matter" the teacher said.

Everyone turned to look at the new girl in the back she had her head down in embarrassment.

"Either way there she is. Now let's begin with American History at the turn of the 20th century."

After class they went to Stiles' locker.

"Maybe we need a little more time to get back to normal" Scott said as Stiles tried to open his locker.

"Yeah try not to forget we hit the reset button on a supernatural beacon for supernatural creatures. There's a pretty good chance things are never going back to normal" Stiles said.

"I can feel it the low pulsing energy supernaturals will come" Selene said slowly.

"Yeah."

"What?" Stiles said to himself as the numbers on his lock changed to weird symbols. When he blinked they were numbers again.

"Oh dude yours eyes" Stiles said looking up at Scott.

"What about them?" Scott panicked.

"They're starting to glow" Stiles said.

"You mean like right now?"

"Yes right now. Scott stop. Stop it" Stiles said looking around worried.

"I can't I can't control it."

"All right just keep your head down. Look down come on. Keep your head down" Stiles said putting his arm over Scott's shoulders keeping his head down.

Selene opened an empty classroom door for them. Scott tossed his jacket off.

"Get back away from me" Scott said.

"Scott it's okay" Stiles said.

"Scott breath relax" Selene said getting between Scott and Stiles.

"I don't know what's going to happen. Get back" Scott got his claws out and dug them into his own hands blood dripping out.

"No! Scott look at me" Selene said rushing forward she grabbed Scott's arms.

His eyes stopped glowing and his claws retracted. Slowly they both sank to the ground.

"Pain makes you human" Scott said.

"What did you do?" Stiles asked.

"I have a… calming effect on wolves when I want to. But I can't do it all the time Scott you need control you can't hurt yourself like this to get it" Selene said.

"Scott this isn't just in our heads. This is real. And it's starting to get bad for me too. I'm not just having nightmares. I'm having dreams where I have to literally scream myself awake. And sometimes I'm not even sure if I'm actually even waking up" Stiles said kneeling down next to them.

"It's true, with me there he still has nightmares but I usually wake him up but if I'm gone for even a few minutes I hear him start to scream" Selene said tears in her eyes.

"What do you mean?" Scott asked.

"Do you know how you can tell if you're dreaming? You can't read in dreams. More and more the last few days I've been having trouble reading. It's like I can't see the words. I can't put the letters in orders" Stiles said.

"Like even now?" Scott asked.

Slowly Stiles stood up looking at the board and posters in the room.

"I can't read a thing" Stiles finally said.

After school Stiles and Selene went to the Sheriff's station.

"You know the last time we bought one of these for her grave it was stolen the same day? Hundred bucks down the drain. Hey dad? Hi what are you doing down there?" Stiles asked shifting his attention from the vase of flowers to his dad on the floor.

"Working. And hey if somebody wants the flowers that badly they can have them. It's the gesture" his dad said.

"Hey dad what is all this?"

"I've been looking over some old cases from a more illuminated perspective if you know want I mean."

"'Strange sighting of bipedal lizard man springing across freeway.'" Stiles read from one of the files.

"Kanima pile" his dad said and Stiles put the file in the pile.

"Dad you're not going back through all your old cases seeing if any of them had something to do with the supernatural are you?"

"I admit the recent opening of my eyes to the greater mysteries of the universe has got me reassessing. There's at least 100 cases here where I look at the details and can ask myself 'If I knew then what I know now.'"

"Right but are you sure you wanna go down that path?"

"Do I have a choice? There's one case in particular that I can't get outta my head. Eight years ago I was elected Sheriff of 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 as best we could tell the body of his nine year old daughter had been dragged from the wreck by coyotes."

"You mean dragged and eaten?"

"We didn't find the car until three days after the crash. They had driven off the road into a pretty deep ravine. Two bodies that were still in the car were covered in bites and slashes."

Stiles was looking at the file as his dad talked.

"So you're thinking bites and claw marks probably a werewolf attack?"

"Maybe."

"But coyotes they scavenge right? So couldn't they have just left the bites and slashes?"

"Absolutely. But guess what night the accident occurred on?" his dad said pointing in the file.

"The night of a full moon" Stiles said looking.

"Yeah."

"Hey dad where are all these going?"

"Yeah we uh we probably need to talk about that."

After talking to his dad Stiles and Selene went to his place and he went to bed pissed off. He had more nightmares but with Selene there he didn't wake up screaming.
