"You're not yourself when you're hungry, here have a snickers."

AFTER EXPELLING STILES OUT OF VOID'S BODY MELISSA DID A CHECK-UP. Shining a small flashlight in his eye checking to see if his pupils responded, which they did. Melissa then reached to touch Stiles wrist to check his heart rate but had to reassure herself first. Sensing she was scared, Stiles offered his wrist to her. Which Melissa was thankful for and took it.

After completing a full check-up on Stiles, Melissa came to the conclusion "Well, medically you seem okay. You're definitely a real person." Melissa joked to lighten the mood.

"Okay, so I'm real but am I really me?" Stiles questioned, still not believing his mind or his body.

Scott then entered the room before Melissa said anything to him, "She here?" Stiles asked. Scott nodded his head yes. "Okay, let's do this." Melissa and Scott still looked unsure, "Guys, we have to do this." Stiles said and Scott helped him to the living room.

Once they rounded the corner, Noshiko was standing in the middle of the living room. "Do you recognize me, hmm?" she asked.

Stiles nodded his head. Kira soon entered the room, "Stop." she said. "It's okay. I'm the one who asked her to come." Stiles said.

"You're the one who's going to get stabbed with swords." Kira told him.

Looking at her mother now, "Mom, don't do this to him." she pleaded.

"It's already done." Noshiko said, then the oni appeared along with Zella.

Walking slowly in front of him, "The real Stiles I presume?" Zella asked, he nodded his head.

Zella then connected her hands to his head and combed through his entire soul, body and mind. While her eyes turned a pitch black.

After a few seconds, Zella then finished and marked him behind his ear and let Stiles drop to the floor and the oni disappeared.

"Look behind his ear." Noshiko ordered. And Melissa, Scott and Kira ran to check.

"It worked." Scott said.

"So, I'm actually me?" Stiles asked

"More you than the nogitsune." Noshiko said, looking at the boy.

"Can the oni find him?" Stiles asked

"They'll find him tomorrow night, it's too close to dawn now." Zella said.

"Can they kill him?" Stiles asked.

"If you're asking if the oni can kill Void, then it depends on how strong he is. But I know I can." Zella told Stiles.

"So you're basically like the oni, if one were to speak... that's comforting to know." Stiles said, looking at the woman.

"What about Lydia? Why would he take her?" Scott asked.

"He would only take her for an advantage." Noshiko told Scott.

"The power of a Banshee. A great force to be reckoned with if I might add." Zella said.

"Congratulations Scott McCall, you saved your friend like I somehow knew you would." Zella said, while facing Scott.

Now getting a good look at her Stiles realized something, "Hey, I know you. At the party in Derek's loft you danced with me."

"I was wondering if you were going to figure that out, yes I was the girl who danced with you."

"What a small world." Stiles said, zoning out.

"Well I've got to leave to go take care of somethings but catch you on the flip side Stiles, you never know when we might meet again." Zella said before she disappeared.

Appearing behind Chris as Derek was getting in the elevator. Derek stopped it from closing.

"You had a gun pointed at my head. You could've pulled the trigger. Why didn't you?" Derek asked.

"Because you're not my enemy anymore, Derek. And I'm not yours." Chris told him.

"You're not yourself when you're hungry, here have a snickers." Zella joked, and scares Chris in the process because he didn't know she was there.

"Look I'm sorry, I've been getting to know a lot of things around here, it's only fair that I share my knowledge with others." Zella said to both Chris and Derek.

Shaking his head Derek said, "The truth is that we should be out there looking for him, right now. Especially if he can do something like this" Derek said.

"Well if you're talking about Stiles, then he's fine and he's not Void anymore. But if you're talking about Void then yes we do need to be out there looking for him."

"I'm not sure that's actually going to be necessary." Chris said.

"Why not?" Derek questioned.

"Because if he can do something like this..." Chris trailed off, and Derek figured it out.

"Then he's stronger than ever." Derek said.

"Which means he'll be coming for us." Chris said.

"Well, he can come and I'll be here to kill him." Zella said, stepping in the elevator.

"He has no idea what's coming for him." Zella said, as the elevator closed with her and Derek in it.

After reuniting with his dad, Stiles went back to the McCall house to get some rest when suddenly he snapped awake.

Seeing him stumble getting up, Scott came in to help him."Hey, you okay?" Scott asked.

"What happened, how long was I out?" Stiles asked.

"Just a couple hours. You should really sit down." Scott suggested.

Shaking his head no Stiles asked, "Where is my Dad?

"He's at Eichen House, questions everyone looking for Meredith. I promised him I wouldn't let you out of my sight." Scott told Stiles.

"Okay, what about the other?" Stiles asked.

"Allison, Isaac, the Twins, they're all looking for Lydia." Scott listed off.

"It's started to feel like we're waiting for a ransom call." Stiles said, then put on his jacket.

"You all right?" Scott asked, seeing his sudden movements.

"Yeah, I don't know why, I just can't seem to get warm." Stiles explained.

"Maybe you should sit down. Take it easy." Scott said, then reached out to help Stiles, instead ended up taking some of his pain away.

"You're in pain." Scott noticed.

"It's not that bad." Stiles said, trying to push it aside.

"Just more like a dull ache." Stiles elaborated a little.

"Where?" Scott asked.

"Sort of everywhere," Stiles said.

Scott grabbed his hand again, "Dude, you're freezing." Scott said.

"Tell me the truth, how much does it really hurt?" Scott asked his friend, wanting the whole truth.

But before Stiles could answer Scott's phone buzzed in his pocket.

Answering it, seeing as it was Kira, "Hey, what's up?" Scott asked, answering the phone.

"She's here, in Coach's class and you need to get here now too. Like, right now" Kira said over the phone, then turned to look at the scene in front of her.

Coach Finstock was trying to get Meredith's attention, "Sweetheart, sweetheart" coach said, snapping his fingers together. "Do you want to tell me which insane asylum you escaped from?" he asked.

Danny intervening told Coach, "Insane Asylum isn't proper terminology anymore."

Listening Coach then began to say, "Okay, sweetheart. What nuthouse did you escape from?"

Meredith answered "Eichen House" and everyone in the classroom took a few steps back.

"Wanna tell me what you're doing so far from there?" Coach asked.

"Trying to help. I can hear them, they scream." Meredith responded.

"That's got to be terrifying. What, uh... Why do they scream?" Coach asked

"They scream when someone's about to die." Meredith said looking nowhere in particular.

"Are they screaming right now? How many of them?" Coach asked.

Meredith looked up and said "All of them."
