You were running, everyone was, Scott thought he was chasing Malia, Stiles thought you were chasing Scott, so he chased as well but you were chasing him, when you took a turn and saw Scott

"WOAH-"

"OH!-"

You two collided but you both just swung in the air for a bit

"Nice catch Scotty !" Smiled Stiles

You calmed yourself down

"Thanks."

"I think I found something."

"So did I"

You looked at the two of them. Stiles lead the way Into a little hole in a rock

"It's a coyote den."

"Werecoyote."

"You see this? This is Malia's. Remember? It's the same one she was wearing in the photo."

In the little den there was a bunch of clothes, stiles started touching it

" ...We shouldn't be in here." You said

"What do you mean?"

"I agree with y/n, She's not going to come back now. We just invaded her home-- our scent's going to be everywhere."

"If she's not going to come back here, where's she going to go?"

"I don't know..."

"Can either you track her now? You think you guys got her scent?"

You shrugged at them

"Maybe... But I'm better at this when I'm a full wolf... And I'm still worried that if I do it, I won't be able to turn back."

"The door's still open."

"I'll try it, just until scott can help me."

The two nodded and they were out of the den as were you

"If I can't get to Derek, we're gonna have to find someone else to help."

"This is basically a crime scene, right? I think it might be a little out of my boss' league..."

"...And more in my dad's."

"Hopefully we won't get in trouble. If the Sheriff comes, so will your dad Scott."

He just nodded at you as Stiles called his father

*timeskip*

The place was loaded with cops searching the whole area.

"You're sure it was her?"

"I looked her right in the eyes, and they glowed, just like mine."

"It makes sense, Dad."

"But it wasn't a girl-- it was a four-legged coyote, right?"

"Well, okay... But yeah, see, that's the point that we don't exactly have figured out yet."

"Okay, but if it was a full moon, and she did change while her mom was driving, then anything could have happened-"

"Horrible things could have happened! Ripping, shredding, tearing things-"

"Stiles! Which is probably what caused the accident!"

"Think about it Dad, all right? They're driving. Malia starts to change. She goes out of control, the mom crashes, and everybody dies-"

"-Except for Malia."

"She blames herself, all right? Goes off running into the woods, and eventually... becomes trapped inside the body of a coyote."

"That makes sense...In a Chinese folktale!
Boys and y/n, this is-this is insane.I need this kept quiet. The two of you? Not a word. I don't want anyone hearing about this. I especially don't want Mr. Tate hearing about this."

From the corner of your eye you saw Mr. Tate

"Sheriff."

He looked at you than where you pointed

"Aw, hell..." he groaned

" Mr. Tate."

There stood Mr. Tate with Scott's father

" Mr. Tate?"

"It's hers..."

"All right, wait here."

"Dad-"

"I'll talk to you in a minute. I wouldn't mind hearing how your mom's okay with you running around in the woods this late." Said Mr. McCall

"What the hell are you doing, bringing him here?"

"'m getting confirmation on a more than significant lead-- and starting to understand why your department can't close cases."

"There's no body! There's no remains to identify."

" Well, not yet, Sheriff! But, do a little digging, and I'm sure you'll uncover something... like the bones of a nine-year-old girl?"

" I think you're going to find it's just a little bit more complicated than that, Special Agent."

"Come on, Stilinski. You know how this goes. It's the not knowing that ruins people like Tate. The truth-- no matter how profoundly it sucks-- the truth is always better than not knowing."

"Damn... I have to head home."

"So should we."

"Yeah you three should all be home, what were you three doing here anyways ?"

"Oh um.."

"Well.."

"We were..."

Mr. McCall looked at you three oddly enough

"We were just exploring.. well goodnight I must be going home."

"You want either of us to take you?"

"It's really late."

"Uh, you guys don't mind right?"

"Nah let's go."

*timeskip*

You made it home

"Hey I'm home." You said

You saw the kitchen light on

"I wasn't sure you'd be up, Scott and Stiles and I were searching in the woods and we totally found-"

You stopped as you entered the Kitchen.

"Hey kid.. look who's here."

"Alice was so kind enough to cook dinner but you never showed up."

"Hi dad." You said shockingly

*timeskip*

Allison met you guys in Mr. Yukimura class in school looking at a map of the forest. You were a bit distracted as was Scott

"Here's where we found the den. It's right in the middle of the hiking trails."

" Well, that could narrow it down. Coyotes travel in fixed trails. But, I think you're right about her not going back to the den. Coyotes don't like wolves, and they're really smart-- if they don't want to be heard, they actually walk on their toes."

"Coyotes tip-toe?"

" They tip-toe.I gotta go, but send me the pinned location."

"Okay."

"Hey! I'm Kira. You knew that. I knew you knew that. I don't know why I just told you that again...Anyway, I have something for you."

"For me?"

" Yeah, about the Bardo. My explanation was kind of all over the place, so I did some research and I printed it out for you."

"Aw, you didn't have to do that."

"It only took a couple of hours."

You irked a brow and you could tell that Kira had a crush on Scott,

"Wow, then you really didn't have to do that."

"I swear, I printed it out..."

" Kira?You forgot all the research you did for that boy you like."

Mr. Yukimura handed Kira a whole packet of papers as she just gave them to Scott embarrassed.

"All right, everyone, let's get started! We were just talking about internment camps and prisoners of war. There's a passage in our reading that I'd like to go over in more detail. Who would like to come up and read aloud for us?"

"Hi y/n."

"Hi."

" Mr. Stilinski?"

"Oh, maybe someone else could...?"

"Everyone participates in my class, Mr. Stilinski."

"Okay...Okay, okay... Come on, come on..."

You noticed Stiles was Struggling, it looked like he was having a panic attack

"Stiles ?" You said

"You okay?" Continued Scott

Stiles seemed to hyperventilate, and you stood up as did Scott

"I'm sorry Mr. Yukimura but -"

" We should take him to the nurse's office."

"Of course !"

You two took him into the boys locker room

"Stiles ! Hey stiles breathe!"

"Stiles? Look at me, man. Is this a panic attack?"

"It's a dream, it's a dream, it's just a dream..."

Scott seemed worried as did you, you grabbed his hands

"No, it's not-this is real. You're here. You're here with me. With Scott"

".Okay, what do you do? I mean, like, how do you tell if you're awake or dreaming?"

" Your fingers-- you count your fingers. You have extra fingers in dreams."

"Okay fine let count your fingers! Look! Look Stiles, ready, we have"

"One."

"Two."

"Three."

"Four."

"Five"

"Six"

"Seven"

"Eight."

"Nine"

"Look and ten ! We have ten !"

Stiles was on the floor still breathing heavily but looked like he was calming down and he looked up at you two

"What the hell is happening to me?"

" We'll figure it out. You're going to be okay."

" Am I? Are you?Scott, you can't transform... Allison's being haunted by her dead aunt... And I'm straight up losing my mind. We can't do this. We can't-we can't help Malia. We can't help anyone."

"We can try. We can always try."

"Scott's right, we can find a way I promise, look at me Stiles... look at me."

Stiles looked at you directly in the eyes

"Your feeling calm, by listening to my voice your getting calmer, and calmer..."

Stiles seemed to slowly go back to Normal, it was like he was in a bit of a trance, Scott was witnessing all this.

"Your gonna be alright, we all can figure this out together okay?"

Stiles nodded.

"What did you do?"

"It's a trick I picked up from Morell."
