Stiles POV- Liam and Hayden were out on a date and Stiles and Selene were at home making out on his bed. That is they were until his police scanner went off. Stiles bolted off the bed calling Scott leaving Selene stunned staring after him.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry. Come on come on" Stiles said rushing back into his room taking her hand pulling her with him.
An hour later they were surrounded by cops and Stiles was getting his wrist wrapped in a brace.
"What in the hell were you three thinking?" Sheriff Stilinski asked running his hand over the claw marks on the suspect's vehicle.
"We were just trying to help" Scott said.
"Why don't you try and help me understand what the hell happened here?"
"Right well we were trying to gently persuade him to pull over" Stiles said.
The Sheriff looked at Selene.
"Don't look at me I wanted to stay in tonight" she said shaking her head.
"He was getting away?" Scott tried to defend.
"He got away."
"Right because obviously he's some sort of criminal master mind Dad" Stiles said.
"Uh-huh. You want to guess what the stolen merchandise is? Hmm" Stilinski asked as he opened the back of the van.
"Critical lifesaving medical equipment?" Stiles asked.
"No."
"Poison gas?"
"Nope."
"Filled with drugs?"
"Helium."
"Helium?" Stiles was stunned.
Scott ended up driving the Jeep with Stiles in the passenger seat and Selene in the back.
"This could be a good thing" Scott said.
"That we saved Helium?" Stiles asked.
"I mean that they don't need up anymore."
"Okay well they need us they just don't know it yet."
"Stiles…" Selene tried but Scott cut her off.
"We're all going off to college soon so Beacon Hills is gonna have to survive without us."
"Beacon Hills will burn to the ground without us."
"That's why we're preparing everyone. Melissa's good at the hospital. Your dad and Parrish got the cops and law covered. And Liam's… well Liam's doing okay" Selene said.
"They don't need us" Scott said.
Suddenly Stiles' phone vibrated. He held it up grinning showing his dad calling.
"They need us!" he cheered. Scott drove them to the Sheriff station.
"Alex you know we're having trouble locating your parents and since you can't remember anything we have a method. An unusual method that might help you remember. But I need you to be okay with it I also need you to know that it's probably going to hurt" Stilinski told the boy that Liam and Hayden brought in.
"I don't care I just want to find my mom and dad" the boy said.
Stilinski turned back and gave them a nod.
"You ready?" Scott asked Alex.
When the boy nodded Scott put his claws in the back of the boy's neck. Scott stumbled back when he pulled his claws out.
"What'd you see?" Stiles asked.
"I saw a guy on a horse."
"A horse?" Stiles and Selene asked.
"He had a gun" Scott went on.
"Okay a guy with a gun that sounds like my department not yours" Stilinski said.
"Maybe not" Selene said softly.
"What about his parents? What happened to them?" Stiles asked.
"I don't know. That's all I remember but…I got this feeling."
"What kind of feeling?" Stilinski asked.
"They're coming back. They're coming for me" Alex said.
Scott nodded in agreement.
Scott called Malia and Lydia into the Sheriff's station. Lydia got there quickly and they all went out back to the impound lot to look at the car Alex was in with his parents.
"Hmm" Lydia said from behind the wheel.
"What?" Stiles jumped up from the back seat.
"This is a perfect shade for me forget the name" Lydia said checking her lipstick.
"Can we please stay on topic here?"
"I'm not getting anything."
Then they heard a coyote howl and Malia jumped over the fence and shifted back into human form.
Selene handed her a pair of clothes.
"Always carry a spare" she said smiling back at Stiles.
"I don't think they're dead" Lydia said.
"They're dead probably torn apart" Malia said after she put the clothes on.
"The only thing I don't get is why there's no blood" Malia continued.
"They're not dead if they were dead I'd sense it."
"If they were alive I'd smell it."
"Yeah I'm not getting anything either" Scott said.
"Scott what are you talking about? You were in his head for four minutes. I timed it" Stiles said.
"Well it's not an exact science and he's a kind maybe he's to freaked out to remember or forgot and his imagination took over."
"Forgot… forgot" Selene murmured to herself looking back at the car.
"What is it?" Stiles softly asked touching her arm.
"I don't know I can't scent them in the car but I know they're not dead. I just don't know how I know" she told him.
"Why does it matter if they're dead? Dead is dead" Malia said.
"Okay if it's just a robbery we can't help them and if it's something supernatural my dad can't help them" Stiles said.
"It sounds like you want it to be supernatural" Lydia said.
"It's been like three months since anything's happened" Stiles said.
"And twice a week you wake me up and we go for a drive so you can see if I detect any new creatures in town" Selene said.
"Okay it is way more than that. You can't tell me that you think this is just some series of impossible coincidences?"
"What I'm saying is maybe that wouldn't be so bad" Lydia said.
Then she and Malia walked off leaving Stiles Selene and Scott. Stiles looked to Scott for help but he just shrugged. Sighing Stiles got back in the car and stared at the windshield.
"You're staring at a broken windshield" Scott said walking over to him.
"There's something wrong with it" Stiles said.
"It's broken. And it wasn't a magic bullet it was a regular bullet that blew out a regular windshield. Just like that one and that one and that one" Scott said looking at the other cars.
"Scott there's a bullet HOLE in those windshields they're not broken. This one is" Selene said smiling at Stiles.
"Magic bullet" Stiles said picking up a piece of broken windshield.
Stiles and Selene dropped off Scott and went home.
"No I don't know anything about magic bullets" Selene said before Stiles could even ask.
"Then maybe we should just get some sleep" Stiles said casually.
"Just like that?"
"Unless you can think of something else?" Stiles asked undressing for bed knowing Selene was watching him.
Selene smiled and pulled him close kissing him.
"Yeah I like that idea" Stiles said grinning then he grabbed a condom and they played out Selene's 'idea'.
The next morning Stiles kept trying to tell Malia about what they found but it was during her pictures and he kept ruining them on accident.
"You ruined it" Malia said walking over to Scott Selene and Lydia.
"Why would I want to ruin your yearbook photo?" Stiles asked.
"Maybe because you haven't signed up for your own photo yet?"
"Yes I did" Stiles said pulling out his photo form.
"It's blank" Malia said.
"Uh…" Stiles looked at the form confused.
"Huh? I could swear I watched you fill that out" Selene said.
"Or maybe you're sublimating the stress of graduating by avoiding key milestones" Scott said.
Everyone looked at him very confused.
"Psych paper" Scott explained.
"Hey the Deputy searched the car no slugs no exit hole. And the address Alex gave my dad it's an abandoned house. Come on! Missing parent's suspicious guy on horseback magic bullet. Who's coming with?" Stiles asked.
"I'm in" Selene said.
"I've got to retake my photos" Malia said.
"Yeah not interested" Lydia replied.
"I cannot miss anymore classes" Scott said.
"Scott" Stiles asked.
"I missed thirty eight last semester and Lydia's mom is the only reason I'm still in school. I can go after school" Scott offered.
"You know what? Forget it. We'll take Liam" Stiles said.
Then they all looked out at the courtyard where Liam was currently making out with Hayden.
"Yeah we're not taking Liam" Stiles said making a face.
"Hey can I get a candid?" Sydney asked holding the camera behind them.
"Uh no" Stiles said.
Scott pulled him to sit down on the bench with Selene next to him and she curled up with him smiling.
"Yeah sure" Scott told Sydney.
"Okay fine. If you can explain to me why this is blue I'll let it go" Stiles said handing a piece of the windshield to Scott.
"Everyone smile" Sydney said then she took their photo.
After a talk with his Biology teacher Scott Stiles and Selene all prepared to leave.
"Thirty nine?" Sties asked.
"Thirty nine" Scott agreed sadly.
However just as they walked out the door Ms. Martin steered them right back in.
"None of you are going anywhere.
"Thirty eight classes Scott. I had to beg the superintendent" Ms. Martin said.
"Ms. Martin Scott is the sworn protector of Beacon Hills" Stiles said.
"He can protect it at 3:30." Stiles Scott and Selene walked off to class.
"We're not waiting till 3:30" Stiles said softly.
Scott just shook his head.
In class they were watching a video on World Was ll ad D-day. Stiles tried to will the clock to go faster. Once the bell did ring Stiles and Scott were the first ones out the door followed by Selene. They drove to the address Alex gave as his home. It looked abandoned.
"That's not creepy at all" Stiles said getting out of the Jeep.
He handed Scott a flashlight then after grabbing on for himself they went onto the house.
"It looks abandoned" Selene said as they noticed the cobwebs, dust, and lack of furniture.
In the dining room area there were plates and cups on the table but that was all.
"You wanna split up?" Scott asked them.
"Uh absolutely not" Stiles answered.
Selene just shrugged.
The whole house was creaking as they made their way upstairs.
"Maybe Alex got the address wrong" Scott suggested as they passed an empty room.
"Or he lied?" Scott asked as they made their way to the door at the end of the hall.
When they entered the room they saw a fully furnished kids room.
"He didn't lie" Stiles said looking around.
"Why didn't the cops say anything about this?" Scott asked.
"They don't know it's here. They can't come here without a warrant and there's no owner of record to serve a warrant to. So unless there's some kind of threat or imminent danger they wouldn't come in" Stiles said.
"It's weird outside this room it smells like no one's lived here in years but in here I can smell Alex" Selene said taking a deep breath.
"You're ri…" Scott said smelling too but stopped.
"What?" Stiles asked.
"I think I heard something." Scott and Selene went to go see what it was.
Stiles was right about to follow them but pictures on the kids dresser caught his attention. All the pictures were of Alex but no one else. In one it said #1 Dad but it showed Alex leaning against thin air. Then Stiles heard something when he turned around it looked like wind was lightly blowing from under the bed.
When he looked under the bed horse hooves appeared on the other side and he heard a horse snort. Freaked out Stiles stood up but there was nothing on the other side of the bed. He quickly left the room only once he closed the door a wind picked up blowing leaves down the hall toward him.
At the end of the hall was a man dressed like a cowboy he slowly raised a gun at Stiles.
"Wait" Stiles said softly.
The man fired it hit the door by Stiles' head.
Panicking Stiles slid down the door till he was cured up on the floor as the man fired the gun again and again.
