Stiles' POV
"No, no, no, no, no don't let them in. Don't let them in. No, don't let them in." I said scared in my sleep. I soon woke up gasping for air. "You okay? Stiles?" Akira asked
as she placed her hand on my shoulder. "Yeah, I was just dreaming. It was weird. It was like a dream within a dream." She asked nuzzling her head in my neck. "A
nightmare?" She said with her glowing red eyes. I saw the door open, "Hang on." I said getting out of bed. "Stiles, where are you going?" She asked scared. "I'm just
gonna close the door." I said placing my feet on the floor. "Just go back to sleep." Akira said insisting. "No, no, I should close it." I replied as I got closer to the door.
"Don't worry about it Babe." Akira said as she shifted in the bed. "What if someone comes in?" I said in a bit of a daze. "Like who? Just go back to sleep, Stiles. No."
Akira whimpered. "But what if they get in?" I asked myself. "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!" Akira screamed. I opened the door, soon I was in a forest where lights came on. I saw the
Nematon, "It's a dream. This is just a dream. It's just a dream" I said to myself. "Get it out of your head, Stiles. You're dreaming. All right? So, wake up," I said again
hitting my head lightly. "Stiles. Wake up, Stiles." I said panicking. "Wake up!" I screamed. I woke up and Akira was no longer by my side, I saw my dad, "Hey, time to
get up, kiddo. Get your butt to school. "He said and as soon as I got dressed, I got to school and found Scott. "And you couldn't wake up?" He asked me. "Nope, and it
was beyond terrifying. You ever hear of sleep paralysis?" I asked him and he gave me a no clue look. "Have you ever had a dream where you feel like you're about to
wake up but you can't move or talk?" I explained to him as we got inside. "Yeah. Yeah, I've had that." Scott nodded. "It happens because during 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." I reminded him. He nodded at
me. "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." I said holding my bag
on my shoulder. Scott gave a horrified look. "It turns your dream into a nightmare. You can feel like you're 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." I said sarcastically. "You think it means something?" Scott asked me. "What if what we did
that night what if it's still affecting us?" I said as we got to our class. "Post-traumatic stress?" Scott asked as we sat down. "Or something. But you want to know what
scares me the most?" I said as he looked concerned. "I'm not even sure this is real." I responded.
My POV
I soon woke up to Stiles screaming, I held him close, the Sheriff busted into the room and I let go of him, "Hey, hey, hey. It's okay. It's okay. You're okay. "He said as I
heard the twin's cries, I ran into the nursery, I picked them both up, in my arms and held them close. "Shh Shh its okay, you two are ok" I said calmly settling the two.
Ever since the Eclipse, Stiles' screaming has woken up the twins, but Talia always slept through the terror attacks. I was tired, the twin were settling, I got into the
feeding chair, I pulled down my shirt, and soon the twin's little noses twitched. They found what they needed, latching on and began feeding. I slowly rocked the chair
as I feed the two, after that I pulled up my shirt, and burped them both. I set them in the crib, they shifted a little, but fell back asleep. I smiled as I saw Levi yawn
then fell asleep. I slowly got out of the nursery, walk down the hall, to see Talia asleep. I closed her door, I go back to Stiles' room. Sheriff walks out, I pat his back, I
see Stiles wide awake, I get back under the covers with him, he scrambles to my body, places his head on my chest and shakes like he was shivering. I wrap my arms
around him, "Sti, you cold" I asked him as he looks up at me. "Had a nightmare" He said as he nodded at me. I felt his body heat, he was a little cold, so I expulsed my
warm body heat to him, he soon stops shivering and falls back asleep, I placed my chin on the top of his head, I kiss his forehead hoping that my comfort would ward
the nightmares away. Morning arrived, I was in the twin's room with the sheriff, Aurora in his arms and Levi in mine, Stiles had gone to school. "Aurora reminds me a bit
of Stiles" I said smiling. "Yeah, people usually said that Stiles looked like his mother" John said looking at his granddaughter. I saw a tear go down his face, "its ok, I
know the feeling" I said rubbing the poor sheriff's back. "Right the fire" John replied. I nodded my head, memories flashed in my mind, but I wiped them away. "I never
told you how sorry I was "John said as I sat down."It's ok" I replied as Levi fell asleep in my arms. Soon the sheriff's phone rang, I got up to get Aurora. "Sheriff here" I
heard him say as he went out in the hall. Soon he came back and told me he was needed at the office. Soon I got a text from Stiles saying 'Meet me the animal clinic,
lov u'. I smiled, I got Talia, Aurora, and Levi in the car and drove. As soon as I got to the Clinic, I got Aurora and Levi in my arms, while Talia walked by my side. I got
inside, Deaton smiled at the twins and Talia. Scott took Levi in his arms, holding and carrying two two week olds is tough. Stiles began explaining what's been
happening. "It sounds like your subconscious is trying to communicate with you." Deaton said as Talia stood by her father. "Well, how do I tell my subconscious to use
a language that I actually know?" Stiles strained with Deaton's conclusion. "Do you remember what the sign language looked like? The placement and movement of
the hands?" I asked and the three looked at me confused. "You know sign language?" Scott asked as Levi just fell asleep in his arms. "One of my siblings was deaf so
I took a class for it to communicate, Stiles if you could" I asked. "Okay, the first one was like this." He said as he had showed the first sign. "That's "when." I replied.
"Then there was this, twice." He said showing the next. "That's door." I said as Aurora yawned. "And this in between it." He said showing me a third sign. "That's it?" I
replied. "The signs are saying "When is a door not a door?" I said shifting my balance to help Aurora sleep. "When is a door not a door" Stiles said again. "When it's
ajar." Scott said shifting Levi in his arms. "You're kidding me. A riddle? My subconscious wants to tell me a riddle?" Stiles said as Scott handed him Levi. "Not
necessarily. When the three of you went under the water, when you crossed from unconsciousness to a kind of super-consciousness you essentially opened a door in
your minds." Deaton said as he explained. "So what does that mean? The door's still open?" Scott asked. "Ajar." I said making as much sense as I could. "A door into
our minds?" Stiles said as Levi stayed asleep. "I did tell you it was risky." Deaton said to ease the tension. "What do we do about it?" Scott asked a bit scared "Well,
that's difficult to answer." Deaton replied. "Oh, no, wait a second, I know that look. That's the "we know exactly what's wrong with you, but we have no idea how to
fix it" look." Stiles said looking at the druid. "One thing I do know is that having an opening like that into your mind, it's not good. You each need to close that door.
And you need to do it as soon as possible." Deaton said as he shifted his stance. Before leaving I asked if Deaton could watch Levi, Talia, and Aurora. He said as long
as I could get them by 8 tonight, I simply nodded. I walked outside to see the sheriff. "I'm here because I could use some help." John said as I walked to the three.
"Actually Your help." He said looking at Scott and I. "Why us?" I asked as I wrapped my arms around Stiles' shoulders. "Because eight years ago, almost an entire
family died in a car accident. One of the bodies, a young girl named Malia, was never found. There's enough evidence to have me thinking that that a werewolf could
have caused the accident, and then dragged her body away. If you two could somehow get a lock on her scent if you could somehow help me find her body, it might
provide the missing clue." Sheriff said as serious as I have ever seen him. "But what if it was a werewolf?" I asked him. "Well, there's somebody out there who
murdered an entire family. Someone who still needs to be caught." Sheriff replied. We got into his cruiser and made our way to the house. The three of us got into
Malia's old room. We sniffed around, I was mostly getting dog, but my wolf was telling me somewhere in this room was an item that the dog didn't touch, I have to
keep looking. "All I'm getting is some animal smell." Scott said shifting the stuff around. "What kind of animal?" Stiles asked but then we heard growling. "Dog." I said
as we turned around and saw a Rottweiler. "Hi, puppy." Scott said scared. "Get rid of it." Stiles said as scared as Scott. "Me?" The True Alpha asked his best friend.
"Yes, you. Glow your eyes at it, something, be the Alpha." I said annoyed. "I can't. I don't have control." Scott said nervous. The dog began snarling, Stiles looked at
me. "I will do it" I said smirking. I silently phased into my wolf. I made my eyes glow and bared my fangs. Letting out a low growl, the dog rolled on its belly and bared
its neck at me. I phased back, I rubbed its belly. "Aww you're just a big puppy" I said scratching behind the dog's ears. He got up and licked my face, "Go back where
you were" I said smiling, the dog then left. I looked and saw the two with confused faces. "What" I said smirking. I kept looking for that one item with Malia's scent.
"Here. Try that. Anything? "Stiles grabbed a book and shoved it into his face. "All I'm getting is that dog." Scott said complaining, they left, but I stayed. I soon saw
something, I opened up Malia's closet as quiet as I could. I saw a sealed bag, I saw it was a blanket, I opened the bag and I saw stitching on it, 'To Malia, our favorite
granddaughter'. I sniffed it, I soon got an undisturbed scent that wasn't in the room, this was Malia's scent, I sealed the bag, as I got out the window, I had locked
Malia's scent into my scent memory. I soon found both Scott and Stiles. "Guys, I got it "I said smirking. They had their mouths gaped. "It's hard to describe, but I got a
lock" I said smirking. "Aren't there a lot of cases that go unsolved?" Scott asked my fiancé. "Yeah, I just think this is one he felt like he could've figured out right now."
Stiles said and that's when everything went to hell. "Why is it so important now?" I asked interested. "He wants to be able to solve one more while he's still Sheriff."
Stiles replied and I heard Scott's heartbeat increase. "What do you mean, "Still Sheriff"?" Scott asked a bit angered. Soon I picked up my three children from Deaton
and bringing them back to the Stilinski's. I set Talia in her bed, "Mommy" She let her voice be heard, "Yes, baby girl" I asked her. "I been having these dreams" She
said and I sat next to her, "What about pumpkin" I said holding her hand. "I see this tall man with these old bandages wrapped around his face, his teeth were silver
looking." She said flashing her eyes at me. "It's going to be ok" I said kissing her temple, "Now go to sleep" I said placing the covers over her. "I love you Mommy" She
said as her eyes fluttered shut. "I love you too sweetheart" I said kissing her cheek, I walked out door, shut it, and went to the nursery, I saw Stiles settling both the
twins. He laid the down, I walked behind him and rubbed his back. "You ok" I asked kissing his neck. "Yeah"He said kissing my lips. We went back to his room, got in
bed and tried to sleep, but I soon heard a knock on the door, I thought it was Talia asking us if she could sleep in here due to a nightmare bothering her again, but at
the door was Scott with a flashlight. "Hey, what's going on?" Stiles asked as I sat up. "You Akira and me. We're going to go out and find a body. A dead body." He said
smiling. We got into the jeep, Stiles gave directions to where the Tate crash was, and soon we stopped at the edge of the preserve. We got out of the car, "You know,
if my dad's right, that means there's another werewolf in town that we haven't met yet." Stiles said as we walked, "I would know if there was another werewolf" I said
pointing out my sense. "I know." Scott said smiling at me. "If it turns out to be something like triplets that form into, like, a three-headed hound of hell, I'm seriously
not up for that." Stiles said a bit scared. "Yeah. Me either. Especially if I can't even control my own transformation anymore." Scott said then a screech howl ripped the
calming atmosphere. Stiles grabbed Scott who dropped his phone. Scott looked at Stiles with a really look on his face. "Sorry, buddy. I hate coyotes so much. They
always sound like they're mauling some tiny, helpless little animal." Stiles said clarifying his moment of terror a few seconds ago. We got down the rocks and found his
phone. "It still works." I smiled. "Let me see the flashlight. I think we found it." Stiles said pointing it at the crash site. I felt so much emotion coming from the area
alone, the car held so much emotion it was a bit overwhelming, but I dulled it down. I got to the car and saw holes in the front of it, gunshot holes, what would these
be doing here. "Uh Why wouldn't they move it? Isn't it evidence?" Scott asked. "Probably too much of a pain in the ass to tow out. Look at this. See those? Animal
claws would be closer together, right? A lot closer." Stiles said pointing these out. "Then it was a werewolf." Scott confirmed it. "So, my dad was right." Stiles said
smiling a bit. "What is that?" Scott asked and I saw a doll's arm hanging. I'm hungry. It said after Stiles got it from the car. The two screamed while I just tried calming
my heartbeat. "I think I just had a minor heart attack." Stiles said as he got up. I heard growling, "Hey, Stiles please tell me you see that." Scott said as I saw blue
glowing eyes. "I see it." Stiles replied as Scott took off after it. "Wait, hey, Scott! Scott, wait!" Stiles yelled for him. "Stiles babe stay here" I said making my eyes glow.
I ran after him, my eyes glowing, I jumped while in midair I phased. I was right beside him, chasing the thing we saw. Soon a ravine was in front of us, we had to jump,
once on the other side, and we were face to face with a medium sized coyote. It snarling at us, I looked at Scott, we made our eyes glow, it stopped and looked at us,
I phased back, it let out one small low growl before letting its eyes glow electric blue. "Malia?" Scott said a bit confused. She then ran off into another part of the
preserve, I stood up, "Well this has gotten a lot more interesting" I said nonchalant.
