Stiles POV: Stiles cried as he tried to get his cell phone on again.

"No. Come on."

It wouldn't turn on. Instead he shifted his attention to trying to get the trap off his leg causing him to scream. He heard a noise again.

"Who's there? Who are you?!"

Someone started speaking Japanese.

"What?" Stiles asked.

Again someone spoke but again in Japanese.

"I don't… I don't understand."

"Not 'who are you?' Stiles. Who are we" the voice said.

"It's getting colder Stiles. Did you notice that we've stopped shivering? Do you know why that's a bad sign?" the voice asked.

The man was just keeping to the shadows.

"It's the body trying to conserve energy. It was my fifth grade science report. Hypothermia" Stiles said.

"Our speech is starting to thicken. Then comes fatigue. Confusion. We're going to die if we don't get out of here."

"Stop saying that stop saying we."

"We're just trying to keep you from freezing to death. You better get up Stiles."

"How? There's a freaking steel-jawed trap on my leg!"

"Is there? Notice something different? It was on your right leg before wasn't it?"

"No…" Stiles said checking the trap thinking he was going crazy.

"Are you sure?"

"What is this? What are you doing?"

"We're trying to save you Stiles. We're trying to save your life."

The man went back to the wall where he was drawing.

"You don't understand do you? It's a riddle. Do you know any riddles Stiles?" the man asked.

"A few."

"What gets bigger the more you take away?"

"A hole."

"What gets wetter the more it dries?"

"A towel."

"When is a door not a door?"

"…When it's a jar" Stiles answered after hesitating.

"Everyone has it but no one can lose it. What is it?"

"I don't… I don't know" Stiles was freezing cold.

"Everyone has it but no one can lose it" the man said louder getting closer.

It started speaking Japanese again.

"I don't know" Stiles said.

Then the thing yelled right in his face. It grabbed the steel trap and began to drag Stiles. Stiles screamed.

"No no no no no wait! Wait! Wait!"

"Stiles!" someone yelled.

Stiles fought and struggled as he was grabbed.

"Wait!"

"Stiles you're all right! Okay! You're all right. Stiles you're all right" Melissa said gently holding him.

Stiles cried as he tried to calm down. They took him to the hospital. Everyone was there except Selene. When he gave Scott a look Scott smiled.

"She's just getting dressed after a four legged run."

Then she was there her arms wrapped around him and she was sobbing. He held her so tight he thought he'd hurt her but he couldn't let go. Neither said anything she held him and silently cried and he held her as he tried not to cry.

Gently he picked her up by the waist and pulled her in the bed with him. He didn't realize his friends left until his dad walked in.

"What happened son?"

"I don't know dad it… it felt like a dream it felt real too though. I don't know what happened" Stiles said feeling tired.

His dad just nodded and looked at his son and Selene.

"I think I get it now… or at least I get you two" his dad said softly.

His dad stayed until Stiles fell asleep with Selene in his arms. He slept all night when he woke up Selene was looking at him.

"Hey" he smiled.

"Hey" she smiled back snuggling into him.

"Did anything happen while I was asleep?" he asked.

She smiled more.

"No you were here all night."

Then his dad walked in looking grim.

"Stiles I… need to run some tests" his dad said.

"Yeah dad I think we do."

"What kind of tests?" Selene asked looking between Stiles and his dad.

"Selene you should probably go to school" his dad said.

"Yeah right I don't think so."

Stiles visibly tightened his arms around her.

"She stays no matter what."

His dad put his hands up in surrender. When it was time for his MRI Scott showed up in the room.

"Stiles just to warn you you're going to hear a lot of noise during the MRI. It's due to pulses of electricity going through metal coils inside the machine. Uh if you want we can get you earplugs or headphones" the doctor said.

"Oh no no I don't need anything" Stiles said.

"Hey we're just on the other said of that mirror okay?" his dad said.

"Okay" Stiles said patting his dad's arm then his dad and Scott's mom left.

"You know what they're looking for right? It's called frontotemporal dementia. Areas of your brain start to shrink. It's what my mother had. It's the only form of dementia that can hit teenagers. And there's no cure" Stiles said softly.

"Stiles if you have it we'll do something. I'll do something" Scott said.

Stiles and Scott hugged then Scott left leaving Stiles and Selene alone.

"I'll be the one to do something if you have it. Like I said you'll never go too far where I can't pull you back" Selene said softly rubbing his arms.

Stiles pulled her close and kissed her. He didn't care his dad was watching and the doctors. He loved Selene so he kissed her deeply. Neither said anything as she left the room. Once in the machine Stiles heard the doctor on the intercom.

"Okay Stiles this is gonna take about 45 minutes to an hour. Now remember try not to move. Even just a little bit. Stiles you're going to hear that noise now. It's going to be a loud clanging. Kind of like a hammer hitting an anvil."

Then the noise started. Soon it was too much for him to take. Stiles could feel a darkness inside his mind he thought it was the dementia but when he closed his eyes to escape the hammering sound he knew. He opened his eyes he was in the same room but in his mind.

"Have you figured out my riddle yet? If you answer correctly we might consider letting them go" that voice said.

"Letting who go?" Stiles asked softly.

"Your friends your family. Everyone who ever meant something to you. We're going to destroy all of them Stiles one by one."

Stiles cried softly.

"Why?"

"Everyone has it but no one can lose it. What is it?"

"I don't know."

"Everyone has it but no one can lose it what is it?!"

"I don't know!" Stiles yelled turning away from the man.

"Everyone has it but no one can lose it. What is it? What is it?!"

"I don't know" Stiles said softly then he heard his own voice asked from behind him.

"What is it Stiles?"

"A shadow" Stiles whispered as he slowly turned around.

He saw the thing take it's bandages off that covered its face. Stiles was looking at himself and it smiled. When he opened his eyes again Stiles knew he was no longer in control of his body. He was trapped in his own mind while this thing this Nogitsune took control of him.

Stiles watched from inside through his own eyes as he got out of the machine when the power suddenly flickered. He walked back to his room and got dressed. Then he went to the door and smiled as he saw people running seeing the chaos he created.

An elevator door opened to show a woman. Slowly he walked toward her.

"You know me" the woman said.

Stiles felt the thing inside him nod.

"Then you remember that I won't be deterred by your choice of host. Even if it's an innocent boy" the woman said.

"Are you threating us?" the thing inside him asked.

Two of the Oni ninja's showed up next to the woman.

"Now I'm threatening you" she said.

"We're not really afraid of your little fireflies" Stiles said.

Then he turned and started walking away.

"If the Oni can't defeat you I know someone who will" the woman said causing him to look back.

He looked at her then smiled and walked away.
