All the noises kept echoing as I felt the familiar sensation of my guest's burning power seep out of my body. I felt every cut, every punch, and every kick spark through me like a sense of electricity. Whoever my guest was fighting didn't let up once. The heavy breathing dragged out as the sound of water falling and the smell of blood retched my nose.
" I Must Take Rest." She said coming in and sitting down near the windowsill. The sun became brighter as she entered the space.
" I still haven't gotten you're name." I said as she turned to me. I watched her eyes light up brightly with a smile.
" Soon My Friend. You Will Know." She said as I swore for a moment I saw an aura of a wolfish spirit around her before I was pulled by a force. I was tossed about in a void.
" Fuck!" I screamed out as I shot up. I saw I was in this cave I saw a bunch of blood on my arms and a slice mark on the stomach of my shirt. I noticed all the scuff marks all over my pants. What did I get into? " Jesus." I said as I got up and walked out to find woods surrounding me.
" How long was I out for?" I asked as I searched my pockets for my phone. I didn't feel it at all. I walked about the woods for a few moments before I heard voices.
" We Must Go!" The voice told me as I began to run.
" The hell?" I asked myself as I saw everyone on the track team gathered.
" Stop, stop, stop! Everyone, stop!" Stiles called out as I saw him come into view. I ran down as he pulled the length of what seemed to be a chain out from the leaf brush.
" Congratulations, Stilinski. You found a length of chain. Can somebody now please tell me what the hell's going on?" Coach asked aloud before I saw him kick a trip wire.
" Hey, Coach!" Scott screamed before I saw an arrow through Coach's gut!
" The fuck!" I screamed as I saw him faint.
" Where have you been?" Scott asked before Coach woke up and started screaming in pain.
" Get it out of me! Get it out of me!" He screamed as I saw that Ethan was running up with Danny. Aiden was trying to calm Coach down.
" Oh, my God, I'm going to die! Get it out of me! I'm going to die!" Coach was screaming profusely.
" Coach, you're not gonna die." Stiles called out to him. The clamoring of voices and action slowed as I saw Scott taking Coach's pain.
" I could have killed him. I could have killed him, right? What if it was his head? Or his throat?" Stiles said as his voice sounded anxious, but his chemosignals were off. What was it?
" But it wasn't- and he's going to be all right." Scott insisted to my boyfriend.
" I think I just heard an ambulance coming." Aiden said as he was holding down Coach's wound.
" And my dad." Stiles said as the ambulance soon arrived. Sheriff motioned me over.
" Where were you?" He asked as I shrugged. I had dried blood all over my arms as I gripped tight on my shirt.
" I don't remember." I said a bit afraid of what happened while I was not myself. I was afraid of telling them the truth about me.
" You don't have any recollection?" He asked as I shook my head. Stiles watched me intently as The Sheriff was taking notes from me.
" I hate to be the bearer of bad news to tell you that your brother has been arrested on murder charges." He said as I felt my fury boil over as my eyes glowed.
" What are you talking about?" I asked as he gave me a look. I calmed as he explained how a yakuza member named Katashi was found dead and so on.
" That doesn't make fucking sense." I said with annoyance in my voice. A call was made on the radio of a bomb on a school bus rang out from Stilinski's police SUV.
" We have to go now!" He told us as I got into the vehicle. We rode quickly to the school to see the dilemma. I got out the moment we were parked. I found Scott, Stiles and the twins in the crowd. I stood next to them after clambering towards the group.
" Why is this happening now?" I asked as I felt useless at the moment. I saw Parrish come to the front of the bus window and show the sheriff's title block to everyone.
" Something bigger is at play." I said as I gripped my arm tight. I felt nothing but pure anger letting out of me. I looked at Scott, who looked at this all in disbelief. Sheriff Stilinski rang something over the radio.
" We have to go. Now!" He yelled before I felt the urge to run. I felt my feet moving without my will as I let my body stride to where it needed to go. If the sheriff's title block was in the package, then the real bomb was at the Sheriff's station. As I turned the block, I saw the carnage and broken glass as I ran up the stairs. Broken wood was everywhere.
" Oh god!" I say as I see Derek with broken glass in his back.
" What? Raven? You are alive?" He asked as his breath was heavy. I took time to pull shards out.
" Yes, I'm alive you sourwolf." I said as he sat down. I looked over at the carnage of blood and the dying.
" Raven! We have to go!" Kira called out as I looked her way. Scott and Stiles are ready to ditch all of this agony around us.
" Go, get somewhere safe." Derek said looking at me. I saw something in his eyes telling me he knew something, but I gritted my teeth and ran with the three of them.
" God damn it!" I yelled as I got myself in the back of the jeep.
" You disappeared from the hospital." Kira says as I am still new to this whole 'harboring a spirit inside me' thing. I dare not tell them. I saw all the caked-on blood decorate my arms. Stiles drove quickly and I saw Scott watching me intently.
" It's an animal clinic?" Kira asked as I was in the back.
" Yeah. The place is lined with mountain ash, just like my house. It will buy us some time." Scott said as I continued to grip my arms.
" But they can get through it? What if they hurt Raven?" Stiles asked aloud to all of us.
" Eventually...We are going to protect her, I promise." Scott said as I looked up with worry and fear seeping out of me like a swarm of dread.
" This is borderline fucked, you know that?" I said as I felt my body shaking.
" Nobody's got any better ideas?" Stiles asked out loud as no one spoke up. Not a single occupant of the Jeep.
" Okay, sure. Animal clinic." Stiles said before stepping on the gas with vigor.
" Fuck!" I yelled as the night came to fruition. I got out of the Jeep as fear ran my blood cold. The rain slammed on us with an intense force. I was at the door when I heard the familiar snarl of the fucking demonic ninjas.
" What the fuck!" I screamed as I saw them attacking Kira and Scott. The moment I saw Scott get impaled was the moment the heat came forth. Stiles got the door open. I ran to Scott and with Kira's help, we all got inside. I held the door shut as Stiles and Kira took Scott to the other room. The sound of a body being knocked to the ground echoed in my ears. I saw Deaton come through another door. He gave me a sign to stay quiet.
" You should have done your reading, Scott. See, a Nogitsune feeds off chaos, strife, and pain. This morning, you took it from Isaac, then you took it from Coach, and then from a dying deputy. All that pain... You took it all." The malicious voice said as I saw Stiles with this evil glare in his eyes. He was possessed by the thing we were looking for? The spirit in my body felt twisted as I felt the heat pulling me. Is this the reason she didn't tell me about this?
"..Now, give it to me." He said with echoes of pure evil. I saw the black veins appear on Scott's face as The Nogitsune stole all of it from him.
" You have to learn, Scott. You have to learn not to trust a Fox. Mmm-mmm. Know why? 'Cause they're tricksters. They'll fool you. They'll fool everyone." The malicious thing said as it gripped Scott's shoulder. I felt my body get behind Stiles and hold him tight. The darkness had overtaken me as I was in this dark room with no windows and no door.
" Not everyone." Deaton said as I was still in disbelief that Stiles was possessed by the psycho fox! But the spirit said otherwise.
" Especially, Not Me, Fox." My voice echoed as I felt the blast of heat run through me as the spirit pulled the darkness away and I could see. I saw Deaton plunge the needle into him. It was like looking at a TV screen and watching a movie.
" What was that? Was that a cure? Is he okay?" Scott called out as my body stood still and nonreactive.
" The Fox is poisoned... But, it's not dead. Not yet." Deaton said before Scott and Stiles looked over my way.
" What are you? Are you just trying to kill people?" Scott asked as he looked between me and Stiles' unconscious body. Deaton stepped forward as if seeing me for the first time.
" This spirit doesn't seem to be a threat. Before I left to get the moss born from the blood of a nogitsune, I noticed the signs. Of another deity residing in another. Isn't that right?" Deaton asked as I felt my body sway. I felt the uplift of a smirk form on my cheeks.
" That Would Be Right, Righteous Druid." My voice echoed as I felt a familiar searing heat come from my eyes.
" As A Goddess Of The Sun. I Do Have Priorities." My voice is stern and harsh. Wait what!
" What? A goddess?" Scott's voice was full of confusion and shock. I saw the look in Deaton's eyes.
" Amaterasu." Deaton's voice echoed like a gunshot in my ear. I felt the smile form on my face as the power began to swell inside. Like I was being switched into play. Amaterasu returned control and my body to me. I felt myself come into full as I looked up at Scott and Deaton with a shaken form and weakened state.
" Hey." I say with a small smile before falling. I felt as if the life was sucked out of me as I saw myself next to Stiles' unconscious body.
" I'll save you." I whispered before passing out.
I was back in the mental representation of my loft. Amaterasu looked at me.
" Is that why you didn't tell me? You thought I wouldn't go along with the bloodshed and confusion? That I wouldn't be willing to put my boyfriend in danger?" I asked as she stood up.
" I Didn't Tell You For Love Can Get In The Way Of The Destruction Of The Nogitsune." She said as I balled my hands up tight.
" You promised you would keep them alive and extract the problem. Not the fact that you lied to my face and took advantage of me!" I screamed as she took quick strides up to me and stared harshly into my eyes.
" I Never Took Advantage Of You Raven. I Will Keep To My Promise. That I Will Uphold. But, The Fox, Needs To Be Disposed Of." She said as she walked in circles around me.
" Don't let him get hurt." I said as I just fell to my knees. She lifted my chin so I could see into her eyes.
" I Shall Do My Best." She said before walking back to the loft balcony and letting the sun grow bright.
" Fuck!" I screamed as I sat up. I began to cough up my lungs. Scott and Deaton before me as they helped me up.
" What are we going to do?" I asked as I held my arm. Scott and Deaton shook their heads before Stiles sat up and looked displaced. I went to him as he looked slightly disoriented and scared.
" Raven? Is that you?" He asked as if he had seen a ghost.
" I'm here. I'm right here." I said as tears began to fall. We held each other tight as our bodies shook. Whatever happens next, I hope gets better. But that is always easier said than done.
