55



The bomb was a hoax. They watched through the bus windows as deputy Parrish carefully checked the parcel. Baby was gripping Stiles' hand, his eyes back to normal now that Coah had been taken to hospital and they had left the woods. He felt Stiles' grip tighten as Jordan Parrish walked up to the front of the bus and held something up to the glass. It was a desk name plate. Sheriff Stilinski. There was no bomb at the school. The bomb was at the police station.

When they arrived it was to chaos. The place who had survived were wondering around in various states of shock. Baby froze at the door. The scent of blood in the air. "I can't be here", he flinched back as Stiles and Scott rushed inside, Noah running after them. "I'll just wait in the car", he muttered, practically fleeing to where stiles had parked his jeep. He pulled open the door and climbed into the passenger seat. Knees up to his chest as he breathed. Head down. In. Out. In. He could smell fear, grief. He heard sirens.

Then the doors were slamming open and Scott and stiles were back. Baby groaned at the scent of blood. Scott had blood on his hands. "What's going on?" He asked, head still lowered.

"The ovi are coming", Kira responded. When she got there, he did not know.

Stiles took one look at his boyfriend and winced as he started up the engine. "Scott, could you do something about the blood on your hands? Baby is hungry".

"Oh shit". Outside it had started to rain as the jeep pulled away from the station. Scott rolled down the window and stuck his hand out. The rain washing the blood away.

"What do you mean?" Kira frowned. Then her lips moved as realisation hit her. "Oh. Yeah. I forgot you are supernatural too. What are you again?"

"He's a vampire", Stiles muttered.

Kira paused. "So that wasn't tomato and beetroot soup. That's why you were all laughing at me".

Baby made a slight giggling noise at the reminder. "Oh yeah. I forgot about that". He sat up now that the blood was gone. He turned and left Kira watch as the silver faded from his eyes and the whites returned. "Where are we going?"

"Animal clinic", Scott stated as he rolled up the window again. "It has mountain ash like at my house".

"Okay", stiles sighed, pressing on the accelerator. "Animal clinic".

——

The animal clinic was dark, obviously closed when they arrived. The jeep rumbled to a stop and they all scrambled out of the vehicle. The rain was pouring down, soaking them instantly. Scott pulled out his keys and was fumbling at the door when he paused. There was a buzzing, snarling noise in the air. They all turned as three black figures seemed to appear out of the air. Black armoured samurai with glowing yellow eyes. Baby recognised them from the hospital. It wasn't a nice memory.

"Get inside", Scott tossed his keys to stiles. He caught them and began fumbling with them with dripping fingers. Scott turned and snarled, transforming into his Wolf form. Claws lengthening and hair growing on his cheeks. He crouched and roared at the three oni. Baby wrinkled his nose as the scent of wet dog got stronger and stepped up to Scott's side. It was night, which heightened the change. He rolled his shoulders back as his fangs extended and his nails sharpened. His eyes blackening and silver glowing. Black veins extended around his eye sockets and he grinned as the oni approached.

The oni attacked first. Two stepping forwards to swing their swords down at them. Scott and Baby threw themselves into the fight. Each taking one. Baby ducked under a blade and spun to kick his opponent in the chest, knocking it back a few steps. "Hey kids, get inside!" Stiles called behind them. He had unlocked the door. Kira didn't listen to him. She flipped a oni through the air and snatched up it's sword. She slashed the oni across the chest and the thing fell back.

It must have surprised her as she gasped. Baby knocked his oni to the ground and twisted the sword out of it's grip. He took the blade and stabbed it through the mask. The mask shattered and the oni beneath him vanished into black mist. "Damn", he muttered. "I hope Mrs Yukimura doesn't hold this against me". He stood up, his clothes soaked through. He turned, just in time to watch as Scott's oni drove it's sword through Scott's chest.

There was a clatter as Kira was suddenly there. She kicked the oni back as Baby caught Scott. Stiles ran over and the two of them pulled Scott's arms round their shoulder. "Get him inside!" They pulled Scott through the door to the animal clinic. Baby pulling the door closed behind them.

Their shoes made wet squeaking noises as they hurried to the back room. Scott let out a cry of pain as Baby and stiles leant him on the metal table. Stiles took a step back as Kira reached for the sword handle. The blade still poking out of Scott's chest. That was when Baby smelled it. A wave of smoke. He turned, watching as Stiles stilled. A coldness spreading over his face and his eyes darkening. "Stiles?" He called.

Stiles ignored him. As Kira reached for the sword, he caught her wrist. She looked up at him in surprise as he pulled her back. Then he slammed her head into the table. She fell to the ground, unconscious. "Stiles!" Baby called. Stiles turned and tilted his head at him, like he was considering what to do. Then he turned to Scott.

"It's okay", he said slowly as he stepped forwards and put a hand on the hilt of the blade. He put another hand on Scott's shoulder.

"Please don't", Scott muttered. He knew this was not his friend.

"Stiles! Stop", Baby called. He couldn't let Stiles hurt his best friend. He stepped forwards, hands out to grab him and pull him away. Then Stiles turned. He smirked at him and Baby froze with sudden fear. The dim lighting from the windows was playing with the shadows across his face.

"Relax Babes", Stiles smiled darkly. "I'm not going to kill him". Then he took the handle of the blade and twisted it. Scott cried out in pain. One hand grabbing Stiles by the shoulder as the blade tore through his flesh. Baby winced and took another step closer. Stiles tutted at him. "If you move again. I will kill him".

"Stay there", Scott grunted. Baby stopped. He could smell the werewolf blood. The fear and pain emanating from Scott. He fidgeted as Stiles turned the blade again and Scott cried out.

"You should have done your reading Scott", Stiles muttered.

"What?" Scott gasped and screamed as the bade moved. Baby made a gasping noise. He didn't know what to do. He looked up and his eyes spotted a figure slipping into the room. His breath caught and he froze.

Stiles clasped him round the back of the neck. Hands holding him up as Scott's legs trembled from the pain. "See", he said darkly. A enjoyment on his face. "A nogitsune feeds off chaos, strife and pain. This morning you took it from Issac. Then you took it from coach. Then from a dying deputy. All that pain. You took it all". His hand moved to clasp Scott's cheek. "Now give it to me".

Something happened. Scott paled and black veins stood out on his cheek, around Stiles' hand. Stiles made a choking noise. A gasp and his head tilted back. Then he let go and Scott was staring at him with wide eyes. "You really have to learn Scott", Stiles grinned. "Not to trust a fox". He hummed. "No, cause they're tricksters. They'll fool you. They'll fool everyone".

"Not everyone". Deaton stepped out of the shadows. Stiles turned as a injection was slipped into his neck. He laughed breathlessly as the plunger was pressed. His hold on Scott slipping as he staggered back. Baby grabbed him as he sunk to the floor, lowing him down as the eyes rolled back and he went limp.

Scott grunted as Deaton pulled the sword out of him. "What was that? Was that a cure? Is he okay?"

"The fox is poisoned, it's not dead", Deaton stated. He turned to look at the limp body in Baby's lap. "Not yet".
