The Oni attack and I immediately shove Lydia at Stiles, blasting the Oni trying to attack her.

"Move!" I warn the pair and they run, getting out of the way.

I try my hardest to dodge every swipe of their blade while fighting back, but they're much faster than they were before and I end up backed into my brother and Kira.

"How is this happening? How are we in this place?" Scott huffs out.

"You're asking me? A month ago, I'd never even touched a sword!" Kira shrieks.

"Something's not right" I breathe out, causing the pair to look at me in worry.

Before either of them can question me, the Oni attack again and we're forced apart to fight them back. The shadows manage to knock Kira's katana out of her hand and they corner her, pointing their blades at her.

I move to help her when I'm grabbed from behind and I feel the sharp steel scratching at my throat, making me still in surprise. I look up and I see Stiles holding Kira's katana, holding it to his stomach.

"Stiles, no! Stiles!" Scott shouts from where he's being held by the Oni.

"What if it saves you? What if it saves all of you?" Stiles argues.

"Don't you dare, Stiles!" I repeat with wild frightened eyes.

"What if it's just another trick?" Lydia speaks up.

"No more tricks, Lydia" Void counters "End it, Scott. Let your friend fall on his own sword. Do for him what he cannot do for himself"

"Scott, no" I plead.

"Do it, Scott. Be his kaishakunin. Give up the game" Void encourages my scared looking brother.

Stiles pauses with a confused expression and looks from the blade he's holding to the floor behind him. I follow his gaze and frown in confusion when I notice the business textbook laying in the snow.

"You have no moves left" Void tells Stiles who lowers the katana.

"I do" Stiles counters, throwing the katana back to Kira "A divine move"

"Stop fighting them! It's an illusion!" Stiles warns us "You have to stop fighting them. It looks real and it feels real, but Scott, you gotta trust me- it's an illusion"

The four Oni stand in front of Void by the door, two on each side and they're wielding their blades. My brother walks straight towards them and none of us hesitate to follow him.

The Oni slash at us, slicing our skin and the pain flares through my whole body like I'm on fire. Although the pain becomes unbearable and my knees go weak, I don't stop following my twin brother's lead.

Scott reaches Void first and he lunges at him, pushing him roughly at the door which bursts open. I stumble forwards and blink a few times as I look around at the high school hallway that we expected when we first opened the door.

I look down at my body and the wounds from the Oni have all disappeared, apart from the ones I received at the camp.

"We're okay" My brother declares in awe "We're-"

Scott is abruptly thrown into the lockers so hard that he collapses onto the ground and I'm pulled away by Stiles as we turn to see a very angry Void in Stiles' body. Void proceeds to knock Kira down and I grab Lydia, pushing her behind Stiles and I.

"This was my game. You think you can beat me at my game?" Void seethes in rage.

"Divine move...Divine move? You think you have any moves at all?" Void spits out, storming towards the three of us as we walk backwards up the hallway "You can kill the Oni, but me? Me? I'm a thousand years old, you can't kill me!"

"But we can change you!" Lydia shouts at him and he pauses in confusion.

"What?" Void questions.

"You forgot about the scroll" Stiles states confidently.

"That's right, asshole. The Shugendo scroll" I glare at him.

"Change the host" Void mutters in realisation.

"You can't be a fox and a wolf" Stiles responds.

My brother appears behind Void, grabbing his arm and biting into it with glowing red eyes as Void lets out a scream of agony. Scott lets go of him and steps out of the way to let Kira stab her katana through Void's chest.

The spirit falls to his knees and his mouth falls wide open, a small fly flying out of it. It flies straight past us and we turn in time to see Isaac Lahey catch it inside the triskele box.

I give Isaac an impressed nod and turn back to the spirit who shakes in an unnatural way before he stills, his skin cracking as though it were porcelain before he hits the floor and turns into dust.

A sharp feeling in my gut causes me to gasp, grabbing my stomach and everyone looks at me in worry. The attention is taken off me when Stiles collapses beside me and my heart drops in fear.

"Stiles!" I cry out, dropping to my knees next to him.

Scott props up Stiles' head with his jacket and I shakily stroke his hair, silently begging him to wake up.

"Nat, what's wrong?" Kira asks me, glancing at my stomach.

"Something is wrong. I think someone is really hurt" I breathe out, listening to my gut feeling and Scott looks at me worriedly.

"It's not Stiles, is it?" He asks, glancing at Lydia.

Before anyone can answer his question, Stiles stirs awake answering it for us and I frown deeply, now not knowing if what I'm feeling is right or wrong.

"Oh, God... I fainted, didn't I?" Stiles speaks up and we all let out a breath of relief "We're alive? We're all alive?"

"Yeah, we're okay" Scott assures him.

Lydia abruptly stands up and looks to the doors with a haunted look on her face, causing my gut feeling to become stronger as I look to Isaac.

"Who else is here, Isaac? Who did you come with?" I demand.

"I came with Argent, but Derek is here with the twins" Isaac answers and I scramble to my feel, breaking out into a sprint.

I feel the others following me as I race as fast as I possibly can out of the building and I let my gut tell me the way to go, finding myself at the stairs down to the underpass. My eyes find the four figures, two standing in defeat while one lays lifeless and the other cries over his dead body.

While Ethan cries over Aiden's lifeless corpse.

My already shattered heart crumbles and I stagger backwards, turning to see Stiles right behind me. I throw myself at him with a sob and he wraps his arms around me tightly as I mourn yet another loss.
