Stiles POV: When Stiles woke up he knew he was finally back in control of his body but the darkness the Nogitsune was still on the edges of his mind he could feel it. The first thing he did was look at his surroundings. Seeing that he was home he quickly went to the bathroom stripped down and got into a hot shower.
After a few minutes of just standing under the stream a pair of arms wrapped around him from behind and he felt Selene press up against him. She laid her head between his shoulder blades.
"I can feel you again through the bond" she said softly on a happy sigh.
"It's still in me I can feel it" he said.
"We're already working on a way to get it out" Selene said stepping around in front of him.
"I'm going to tell my dad I need to stay at Eichen house" Stiles told her.
He could see the tears in her eyes even though she nodded. He kissed her gently his palms cupping her face lightly. Slowly he slid his tongue into her mouth and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"With everything going on recently we haven't really had time to be together" Stiles said.
"I know it's okay. When we get the Nogitsune out of you I'll have you" she said with a wicked grin.
"No when we get it out of me it's my turn to have you my gorgeous she-wolf" Stiles grinned back.
"Do you mean…" Selene asked shocked.
"Yeah I do I mean forever" Stiles said then he kissed her again.
Soon the water in the shower turned cold and they jumped out dried off and changed. Then they went to talk to his dad. Stiles' dad didn't seem shocked to see they both had wet hair.
"Is there any hot water left?" he simply asked.
"I'd wait" Selene replied with a smile.
Stiles told his dad about Eichen house.
"I don't want to hurt anyone else it's for the best right now dad" Stiles explained.
So they got Stiles' stuff ready and his dad drove him to Eichen house. Selene held his hand the whole way there. With her he had hope he could beat this thing. With her he saw his future and what they could have together and he wanted it all.
Too soon the car stopped. They all got out and looked at the gate and the house behind it. Then they heard a motorcycle's engine coming and Scott showed up.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Scott asked.
"Because we wanted to avoid something like this" Mr. Stilinski said.
"It's only 72 hours" Stiles said.
"This is the same place where Barrow came from. The guy who had a tumor inside him filled with flies" Scott told him.
"You don't know everything yet" Scott said looking at Stiles' dad.
"I know enough. Nogitsune, Kitsune, Oni or whatever they're called" Mr. Stilinski said.
"Wow that was actually all surprisingly correct" Stiles said.
"Scott I saw an MRI that looked exactly like my wife's. And it terrifies me. I'm headed down to LA tomorrow to talk to a specialist" Mr. Stilinski continued.
"Then why are you putting him in here?" Scott asked.
"He's not it was my decision" Stiles said still holding Selene's hand.
"Stiles I can't help you if you're in here" Scott told him.
"And I can't hurt you. I can't hurt anyone" Stiles said his eyes flicking to Selene.
He'd rather die himself than let the Nogitsune hurt her.
"Deaton's got some ideas. Argent's calling people. We're gonna find something. And if we can't…" Scott said.
"If you can't… If you can't then you have to do something for me okay? Make sure I never get out" Stiles said.
Selene hugged Stiles and she whispered only for him in his ear.
"If they can't fix it I can with MY bite. On a full moon that thing cannot survive the transformation."
"Why dont you just do it now?" Stiles asked confused.
"You're not ready for it yet love but as a last resort I'll do it."
Stiles squeezed her tight understanding. He wasn't ready to be an immortal werewolf just yet but he would be soon and he'd be with her always.
"I love you" Selene said letting him go.
"I love you too."
"Come on" his dad said leading Stiles past the gate and into Eichen house.
"Mr. Stilinski? This way please" a nurse said leading them into an office.
"First 72 hours there's no phone calls no emails no visitors. We will be taking you from here to a brief physical. In the morning you'll be assessed by a staff psychologist speak to a social worker and attend group therapy" the nurse said when they sat down in front of a desk.
"I feel like we're forgetting something" his dad said.
"You will be wearing these Stiles. No laces allowed. You don't have a belt do you? And please empty your pockets in here" the nurse continued setting slippers and a basket on the desk in front of Stiles.
"Your pillow. Your pillow. We forgot your pillow" his dad said sounding a little panicked.
"Dad it's okay" Stiles said empting his pockets.
"No no you're never going to be able to fall asleep. We… we got to go back" his dad went on.
"It's fine dad I don't need it."
"I can't believe I forgot it. I mean every time that we've ever stayed in a hotel the first thing you pack in your pillow."
Stiles understood his dad was upset so was he but this had to be done.
"You can bring it tomorrow it's all right."
"Okay you know what? Stop stop enough. Stiles get your stuff. I'm not checking you in here if you're not gonna get one good night's sleep" his dad said standing.
"Dad I haven't had a good night's sleep in weeks" Stiles said standing putting his hand on his dad's shoulder.
Then he hugged his dad and let the nurse guide him down the hallway to the stairs. When he heard something he turned to look down a hallway to see a girl it looked like Malia.
"Stiles? This way please" the nurse said as they continued up the stairs.
Stiles looked up only to see a man by the ledge with bed sheets he'd tied together.
"Hey do you see that?" Stiles asked going faster passed the nurse.
"Stiles wait for me" she said.
"That guy up there. Stop! Somebody stop him!" Stiles yelled going faster up the stairs.
Too late the man jumped. The nurse cried out in shock stopping on the stairs next to Stiles.
"Okay I know there's the whole 72 hour thing but I'd really need to use the phone" Stiles begged.
"The accident that occurred is being taken care of" the nurse said going to unlock a door.
"You're seriously referring to that as an accident?" Stiles asked.
"Incident" she said opening the door.
Stiles went in.
"Slightly better still need to use the phone. Just five minutes. Three minutes please. A three minute call" Stiles begged.
"Would you like to go to sleep Stiles or would you like to be introduced to our five-point restraint system?" the nurse asked.
"I would go with sleep" a boy who was retrained on the bed in the room too said.
"Hey wait wait wait!" Stiles yelled when the door closed and locked.
"I'm Oliver" the boy said.
"There was a suicide huh?" Oliver asked.
"Yeah" Stiles said.
"Is it Monday? There's a much higher rate of suicide on Monday" Oliver said.
"Okay then. Um hey can someone… someone just please let me out of here. Someone. Anyone" Stiles said.
"I heard it by the way. It happened in the stairwell right?" Oliver said.
"Yeah. How'd you know that?" Stiles asked sitting on the other bed.
"I head the echo" Oliver said.
"What do you mean?"
"It's this place. Something about the way that it was built. Everything echoes. Eventually. That's why they call it Echo House" Oliver explained.
Then Oliver went to sleep and Stiles started out the window all night knowing he couldn't sleep without his pillow.
He did laugh softly though when he remembered the doctor who gave him the physical asked how he got the scar on his neck. Stiles simply told him that his girlfriend bit him and the look on the doctor's face was priceless.
"Have you been awake all night?" Oliver asked waking up the next morning.
"Yeah I can't sleep without my pillow" Stiles told him.
Then Oliver started coughing.
"You okay?" Stiles asked.
"I swallowed a bug the other day. You ever do that? I keep coughing. Like it's still in my throat" Oliver said.
"That's disgusting Oliver. You don't have any idea when they unlock the doors do you?" Stiles asked just before the lock clicked on the door.
"Now" Oliver said.
Stiles let Oliver out of his restraints.
"Most of the people here are okay. The violent ones are in the Closed unit. That's Hillary she has OCS. That's Gary he thinks he's Jesus Christ. Dan also Jesus. That's Mary…" Oliver said pointing people out.
"Mary Magdalene?" Stiles asked.
"No she also thinks she's Jesus. You'd be surprised how many Jesus's we get" Oliver said.
"Not really" Stiles replied.
"Hey how come you want to use the phone already?" Oliver asked.
"Cause after one night I've changed my mind about this place being safe for me. Or anyone ever" Stiles said looking at the girl who was on the phone waiting his turn.
"No no I think you're wrong. I really think I should tell them. They're going to want to know the story. The whole story. I really think they should know. Yes I do. One of them is standing right behind me" Stiles listened to the woman on the phone.
She then hung up and walked past them.
"Who was that?" Stiles asked stepping up the phone.
"That's Meredith. She's a little weird." Oliver said.
"You're a little weird she's a lot weird. It's dead" Stiles said trying the phone.
"Yeah they turn off all the phones for 24 hours after a suicide."
"Why didn't you tell me that before?"
"Why didn't you ask? What are you going to do now?" Oliver asked when Stiles walked off.
"I'm getting out of this nuthouse" Stiles told him
"That's not really the appropriate way to describe a facility like this" Oliver said.
Stiles saw Malia with her back to him.
"Malia? Hey it's Stiles. Do you remember me? I'm friends with Scott. Remember. We were the ones who helped you out with…" Stiles said and then Malia punched him sending him to the ground.
"Hey Malia!" orderlies grabbed her.
"No!" she yelled and fought.
Then one man held Stiles down.
"She hit me" Stiles said.
"A few more like this Malia and you're heading to the Closed unit" one of the men told her.
"Okay wait wait wait stop! I didn't do anything. Stop!" Stiles yelled as he struggled Malia was taken away.
Then Stiles looked down and remembered from the night he was sleep walking in the woods he thought he was in a basement it was Echo house's basement he knew now.
"Enough! Enough. Stiles. You saw something didn't you?" his high school guidance counselor Ms. Morrell said kneeling in front of him.
"That basement. I've been down there before" Stiles told her.
