After kira, Scott and Astrid listened to Kiras mother's story of how it's her fault that the nogitsune is back, they received a phone call. They found out that Stiles is in Derek's loft so they quickly went there.

When they arrived, Derek was on the ground as the Argent crouched down next to him. Sheriff and Allison were standing up. The older hunter and sheriff aimed their guns at the doorway when Astrid, Scott and Kira entered the loft.

"What did we miss?" Astrid asked as she walked closer to the four.

"They disappeared" Allison said, panting. "They literally just vanished."

"And so did Stiles" the sheriff added.

"Well that's just bloody fantastic" Astrid rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

---------------------

Astrid walked towards Scott's room but stopped when she heard him and kira talking.

"You don't have to sleep in the chair" kira told Scott.

"I've woken up plenty of times in this thing" Scott replied. "It's Okay"

"I don't want you to sleep in the chair" kira said.

Astrid's eye twitched and she walked inside the bedroom, Scott was still sitting in the chair while kira laid on his bed.

"Kira, I didn't know you have the guts to invite someone's boyfriend to bed. I have to say, that's a really bitchy move" Astrid told the kitsune. Kira quickly sat up, breathing heavily as she stared at the vampire.

"I-I wasn't" kira argued.

"You sure about that, love?" Astrid asked, her voice still calm yet threatening.

"Astrid" Scott said softly as he walked towards her. "Nothing happened and nothing will happen. I don't love her." He told Astrid, smiling at her.

"Whatever. Kira, do this shit again and I'll kill you." Astrid threatened and left the room.

"Sure you Will" kira said. Astrid sighed loudly and vamp sped back into Scott's bedroom, she grabbed kira and pushed her against a wall, holding her by the neck.

"Astrid!" Scott shouted.

"I won't hurt the slut, Scott. Don't worry" She told the werewolf who calmed down a bit when he heard her say that.

"Listen, fox." Astrid began speaking. "I've killed people in the past before so don't think I won't do it again." Astrid threatened. She leaned in closer to whisper in her ear. "If you do something I don't like again, I promise you, your death will be very slow and agonising." Astrid whispered so quietly that only kira heard her. Astrid moved away from the kitsune. "Understood, sweetie?" Astrid asked and kira nodded. "Sorry, I didn't hear your answer." Astrid said annoyed.

"Yes. I understand" kira said, scared.

"Good" Astrid smiled innocently and left the room, heading to her mansion.

------------------

Astrid was sitting down on the couch in her mansion as she watched a random show on tv. She heard buzzing and turned around to see a fly flying towards her. Astrid waved her hand, trying to scare the insect but it didn't work.

"Go away" she muttered as she continued waving her hands. She soon got annoyed and killed the fly. "Annoying prick"

-------------

Astrid headed back to Scott's house after he called her and told her to meet him there. When she arrived She saw Scott, Deaton, Aiden, Melissa and Lydia standing around Stiles who was laying unconscious on the couch.

"Where did you find him?" Astrid asked as she walked towards the group of people.

"Me and Aiden found him in the parking lot." Lydia replied.

"Okay" Astrid smirked at her friend.

"It doesn't look like he's bleeding" Deaton said as he moved Stiles' shirt, revealing a deep cut on his stomach. "I think he might even be healing."

"You mean healing like we heal?" Aiden asked.

"Yeah." Astrid told Aiden. "Kitsunes also have the ability to heal, just like us."

"That's good, right?" Scott asked.

"For him, yes" Deaton said. "Us? I'm not so sure."

------------------

"Well, if we're not going to kill him, why aren't we at least tying him down with really big chains?" Aiden asked.

"I might have something more affective." Deaton said as he took something out from his bag. He took out a little bottle and showed it to Aiden, Scott and Astrid while Lydia looked at Stiles with a worried look.

Aiden and Scott held Stiles' face while Deaton poured some of the liquid from the bottle into Stiles' mouth.

Stiles' eyes shot open and he grabbed Aiden's arm and throat. "Get him off me" Aiden growled.

Scott managed to push Aiden as Stiles let him go. Stiles' hand was shaking as he became weaker. "Kanima venom. Nice touch." The nogitsune said. Aiden growled loudly at Stiles. "You know how they say that twins get a feeling when the other's in pain? You didn't lose that talent, too, did you?" The nogitsune asked. "Oh, I hope not. You're going to need it." Scott and Aiden looked at each other confused. "Okay, I'll give a little hint. Ethan's at the school."

"Go" Scott told Aiden. Aiden then quickly left the house.

The nogitsune laughed as he watched Aiden leave "Oh, I hope He gets there in time. I like the twins... but not as much as I like Astrid" the nogitsune smiled at her. "You and your brother are similar to the twins, you know? Short tempers. Homicidal compulsions. A lot more fun than you bakemono trying to save the world every day." He told Scott's pack.

"Doc, you brought something to paralyze his body." Melissa said as she stood next to Lydia. "You got anything for his mouth?"

"Yes I do" Deaton said as he teared some tape.

"Wait" Astrid stopped Deaton. "Before you do that, I have to ask him a question." Astrid said as she walked towards the nogitsune. "When you took away all the pain, chaos and strife from me.... did you..."

"Did I see what caused it?" He asked and Astrid nodded. "Like In 1412 when you caused chaos and pain when you killed an entire village?" He asked. Astrid's eyes opened wide. "Or in 1920, the fear you felt when your father found you and your siblings?" He chuckled. "Or maybe in 998 when-" Deaton taped his mouth before he could continue.

"Great" Astrid muttered as she walked to the dining room, the others following her.

"You Okay?" Scott asked as he hugged her.

"Yeah I'm fine." Astrid smiled. "How much longer do You think we have?" She asked Deaton as she pulled away from Scott.

"I wish I knew." Deaton replied. "But if we don't figure out something soon, were going to need to find a better place to keep him. I think we're grossly underestimating the danger here. He might be paralyzed, but it still feels like he's got us right in the palm of his hand."

-----------------

"But the scroll said to change his body" Lydia said.

"That's if Astrid translated it correctly" Deaton told Lydia.

"I did, love" Astrid said.

"What if you didn't?" Deaton asked.

"I did." Astrid argued.

"Well, we're looking for a cure in something that might actually be nothing more than a proverb or a metaphor." Deaton told Scott, Lydia and Astrid.

"What if he doesn't want it? He's never asked to be a werewolf." Scott said.

"Well... we're not going to ask for his permission then" Astrid told Scott. "It's the only way to save his life." Astrid added.

"What if it kills him? I've never done this before." Scott said.

"I'll turn him into a vampire then. I've done it many times before. The only problem is that he'll be sired to me." Astrid said.

"What does that mean?" Lydia asked.

"I'm a tribrid so if I turn him, he'll always seek acceptance from his 'master' which will be me. It's possible to break the sire bond but it's pretty damn difficult so it'll be better if you turn him, Scott." Astrid told the alpha.

"That venom is not going to last long." Deaton said. "Something needs to be done sooner than later."

"I can try calling Derek again." Scott said.

"Maybe we should call someone else" Lydia suggested.

"Like who?" Astrid asked.

"Peter Hale" Lydia sighed.

-------------

Peter walked around Stiles, observing him.

"He doesn't look like he would survive a slap across the face, much less the bite of a werewolf." Peter commented.

"You don't think it would work?" Scott asked.

"This is more a war of the mind than the body." Peter replied, staring into Stiles' eyes. "There are better methods to winning this battle."

"What kind of methods?" Deaton asked. Peter grabbed Scott's hand and made him reveal his claws. "We're gonna get into his head.

-------------

"So, do we have a plan?" Deaton asked Peter.

"Scott is going to try and dig through pale and sickly evil Stiles' mind to unearth pale and sickly real Stiles." Peter said and Astrid snorted. Peter looked at her and smiled before talking again. "Then guide him back from the depths of his own subconscious. But he's not going to do it alone."

"What do you mean?" Scott asked.

"Somebody needs to go in with you." Peter said as he turned around to look at Lydia.

"Okay, I'll do it." Lydia said as she sat down next to Stiles.

Scott moved behind the couch and Peter put Scott's hands, with his werewolf claws, against their spine on their necks.

"So what do we do if we find him?" Scott asked.

"You're gonna guide him out somehow." Peter told Scott. "Try to give him back control of his mind, his body."

"Could you elaborate on the 'somehow'?" Lydia asked. "It's not feeling very specific at the moment.

"Improvise" Peter told them.

"What if this is just another trick?" Scott asked.

"When are you people going to start trusting me?" Peter asked.

"I meant him" Scott replied, looking at Stiles.

"Oh."

"Scott, we're running out of time." Deaton pointed out.

Scott nodded at took a deep breath. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes which were now glowing red as he pushed his claws inside their necks.

"That's it?" Astrid asked.

"It's a lot more complicated than it looks..." Peter said. "What's your name?" He asked.

"Astrid Mikaelson" she told the man.

"Nice to meet you, Astrid. I'm Peter Hale." He smiled flirtaciously. "Would you like to... go our for a drink some time?" He winked.

"Seriously?" Melissa asked. "You're asking this right now?" She asked annoyed.

"Thanks but no thanks." Astrid said "I'm taken" she smiled. "So... how long is this going to take?" Astrid asked, looking at Scott, Stiles and Lydia.

"I don't know." Peter told her as he walked towards them, standing next to Melissa.

"Look at that. Do you see that? She's bleeding" she said, looking at Lydia whose nose was bleeding

"Lydia, can you hear me?" Peter asked Lydia as he cupped her cheeks, shaking her gently. "Lydia, You're stronger than this. Okay, you need to concentrate. Lydia." He paused and took a deep breath. "Lydia!" He yelled.

--------------

The three gasped when they became conscious again. Scott ran towards the four asking whether it worked.

Lydia got up and stood next to Peter. "What happened?" She asked. "Why didn't it work?"

"Because it's not science, Lydia. It's supernatural. I did my part. Now give me the name." Peter told the banshee.

"What name?" Scott asked. "What are you talking about?"

Peter grabbed lydia's arm and pulled her away. "Probably a name of a prostitute or something" Astrid rolled her eyes.

"Lydia, a deal is a deal. Even with me" Peter told Lydia.

"Malia" Lydia whispered.

Stiles started grunting as he took off the tape from his mouth. He began gagging as he pulled a rope out of his mouth.

"What the fuck..." Astrid said disgusted.

He fell on his knees as he vomited the rest of the bandage. He moved away when a black mist formed around the bandage and someone emerged from it.

Everyone moved away from it, scared. The person covered in bandaged moved towards the six standing against a wall. Melissa, Deaton and Lydia moved away as Peter and Scott grabbed the man. Astrid just stared, unsure of what to do.

Peter and Scott sat him down on a chair. "Hold him!" Peter shouted.

"I'm trying" Scott answered. "Wait. Wait. Wait." Scott said when a part of the bandage fell off and Scott could see a part of the person's face. The alpha then moved the bandage and revealed Stiles.

"Scott?" Asked Stiles.

"Scott" Deaton said, making Scott turn around. Deaton then turned around and looked at the open door, the other Stiles was now gone, as was Lydia and Astrid.

"Where are they?" Scott asked.
