SCOTT AND ISAAC APPEARED WITH A HURRY BY THE TOP OF THE HOSPITAL.
And Hazel and Derek were there to be seen. "He's not here. Not anymore."
Obviously, Stiles was out in the middle of nowhere and was in trouble. Hazel could smell his fear.
"You mean the whole building?" Scott asked.
"Gone." Hazel said loud enough to let them understand it.
"I'll go tell Stilinski." Isaac told Scott as he turned to face him.
"And see if you can find Allison." Scott told him. "She's not answering her phone."
With that, Isaac hurried off leaving it to the three when Scott stood next to Hazel while they stared off into the view at night, smelling the scent.
"Notice how strong the scent is up here?" Derek spoke up. "Ever heard of chemo signals?" He looked to Scott before he looked back forward. "Chemical signals that communicate emotion. And just our sweat can give off anger, fear or disgust. Take a deep breath, and tell me what you're feeling." Scott did. as he said and closed his eyes and opened them after a few seconds.
"Stress."
"And anxiety." Derek added.
"What was he doing up here?" Hazel asked. She had been having that question in her mind.
"I don't know. But there was definitely some kind of struggle." Scott curiously gave a glance at him while Hazel with a knowing look, was looking forward.
"With who?" Scott questioned him.
Derek was silent when he still looked off forward before he responded. "Himself."
âââââââ༺༻âââââââ
Derek and Hazel were standing by the car with Aiden that was with his too. Derek goes to start Stiles's Jeep. "So, you think he was just sleepwalking? Or is he something more to it?"
"In this town there's always something more." Derek said, walking over to the other car with the power outage.
"What if I told you I know something more?" Aiden challenged making Derek stare at him and give a look. "I kind of overheard... Well, I listened in on Stiles talking to Scott. How he thinks he was the one while wrote that message in the Chemistry room. The message telling Barrow to kill Kira." He explained.
"You think Stiles, skinny, defenseless Stiles, is the Nogitsune?" Derek sarcastically asked him with crossed arms when Aiden scowled in annoyance at him. "A powerful, dark spirit?"
"I'm not the only one thinking it. I'm just the only one saying it." Aiden said.
"This thing wants to possess someone and chooses Stiles?" Derek questioned, sounding stupid saying it. "Why not take someone bigger, stronger? Someone with a little more..." He paused as he looked to the farest ground. "Power."
He looked down to the Power outages as he connected them together, making them struck. Hazel that leaned against Stiles' Jeep the whole time, watching and listening decided to answer.
"The Nogitsune chooses Stiles because it knows that Stiles can be hurt easily. He's the one to take pain easily and the one protected. It's not always about being strong, muscular or anything. He chose Stiles because he is weak. So that the Nogitsune can also hurt him. It's obvious."
The two seemed to agree. Well, Aiden mostly but Derek insisted. As always. He continued what he was doing while Hazel rolled her eyes at his act. There was a part of him that she never liked. And that was the arrogant one.

The next day, Derek and Hazel arrived by school in the middle of many students walking by wren they spot âKiraâ trying to call out for Scott that didn't responded.
"He's a little preoccupied. But I can help you." Derek turned his head to her. Hazel seemed to sarcastically hold on a chuckle at that.
"We might... help you." Hazel said as she stared at Derek. She's been getting irritated with him.
"Why would you want to help me?" Kira questioned the two.
"Because we want you to tell us everything that happened at the power station with William Barrow." Derek said wren Kira seemed hesitant. "Actually, i want you to show me."
Kira inhaled before the three went off to the Power Station. They walked and looked around suspiciously.
"It was around here, I think." Kira said. "But everything kind of looks the same now." They walked closer to a cell that was left opened when Derek and Hazel narrowed their eyes and brows at that spot.
"What is that? Is that baseball bat?" Kira questioned at the sight of it stuck on a locker.
"It's Stiles' bat." Hazel responded, looking at it. Derek walked closer to the locker as he went to grab the Baseball but it was no use since it didn't budge.
He frowned and and tried to yank it off the locker. Hazel questioned herself what would've happened to not get a baseball bat away from the locker.
That's when he yanked it off as he stared at the bat. "It's magnetized." He looked up to the two while Hazel rose a brow at that answer.
He looked down when they noticed a white line going straight to the locker as he placed the front of the bat on it as it started getting magnetic towards the locker making Derek stumble forward to it.
He backed off as he looked at Hazel that was in shock but also confusion before he looked to Kira that was also in the exact system. "Kira. I'm going to need you to tell me everything you know about foxfire."
Kira knitted her brows at that wren Derek nodded his head behind her to see a sign of high voltage.
Now that's where the plans would start with.
When they got out of the place, along out of school, the three were walking to the car. Once they all got in, Derek drove to the emergency.
It didn't take them long until they arrived and Kira was the first to go out and the other two were the next to come out after.
The two were about to walk off but then noticed her hesitation when she still stood next to the car as she turned to them. "I don't know if I should go in." The two walked towards her with a confused expression on their face while Derek tilted his head in wonder. "You're going to tell Scott that Barrow might have used foxfire created by me to jumpstart the Nogitsune's power inside Stiles."
"Yeah." Derek simply answered.
"Basically that I helped a dark spirit take control of his best friend." Kira said. Overthinking much?
Hazel scoffed with a humorless smile. "As long as he's my brother and the guy next to me to always be there for us," She shook her head with a forced smile. "it's nothing bad."
Kira widened her eyes as she stared at Hazel. "Youâ You're Scott's sister?"
Hazel nodded. "Yep. Older sister."
Kira was left shock and speechless for a few seconds before Derek spoke up to her. "You should probably wait here."
Kira nodded, completely fine with it as Derek nodded also, thinking how unnecessary and awkward that moment was as the two turned and walked off to the hospital.
âââââââ༺༻âââââââ
The two sat the opposite of Scott wren they were waiting for Stiles that was getting tested inside a
"You know, the stuff you were telling me about chemo signals earlier? It reminded me of the time you were teaching me to use the anger to control the shift." Scott said to Derek.
"I think you ended up teaching me more about that." Derek grinned as he drifted his eyes up to him.
Scott smiled at that before he looked back to Derek. "Are you teaching me again?" He asked, sounding like a ten year old kid that Hazel couldn't deny as she smiled in awe at her brother.
"Think of it more like sharing a few trade secrets. You know, I took Cora back to South America, right? It's where she spent most of her time after the fire. But that's not the only reason i left. I needed to talk to my mother." Hazel and Scott were now deeply confused when Hazel was the one to question.
"Your dead mother?"
"She told me something that changed my perspective, on a lot of things. She said that my family didn't just live in Beacon Hills. They protected it. This town needs someone to protect it. Someone like you." Derek told Scott.
Scott's eyes were sparkling as he stared at Derek. "And someone like you to teach me a few trade secrets."
Hazel and Derek seemed to smirk at that. Suddenly, both Scott and Hazel frown wren their senses hit.
Scott stood up. "He was trying to protect us." The echo voice appeared again.
Hazel realized as her eyes showed glints of realization while they were focused on the floor as she slowly turned her head towards it. "Stiles was protecting us."
Derek seemed to realize it too as he leaked a bit forward. "From himself."
That's when they looked up to the ceiling and knew directly that they had to be on the top of the building. And that's where they headed out of now.
"What are we looking for?" Derek asked Scott.
"I'm not sure. But I think Stiles wasn't just up here struggling with himself. I think he was struggling not to do something." Scott spoke out loud.
They tried to search around the place for any sign of Stiles. Scott looked up and got on top of a wooden box as he climbed on it and reached out his arm on the top of the cell as he felt something and pushed it to let it fall out on the ground.
A long white bag with a bunch of things like hammers, screwdriver and other similar things in there.
The three looked up as they have a look to each other. Then they noticed Scott having his eyes fixated on something up there when they followed his eyes and noticed a cable starting to struck.
Just as they looked at each other and decided to walk off to look around, a lightning struck exploding making them turn around and shield themselves.
Suddenly, the cable earlier started moving around as it flew out of the building and down on the way to the ground.
Then, Hazel snapped her eyes to where the cable lead off to as she sensed and remembered that Kira was still left for hours waiting down there by the car.
They quickly ran all the way to the elevator to get down but Hazel simply stepped on the edge and jumped off.
Just as she landed on the ground, she stood up and already three people which included Isaac were struck by the water that was floating around in the ground along with the lightning cable.
Kira jumped over with a flip as she landed right on the floating ground, indeed nothing happening to her.
The cable that didn't stop lightning was moving around Kira like a snake trying to trick her but then she grabbed onto it.
Derek and Scott that arrived were careful and watched Kira that moved her other hand up and fisted it on the top of the lightning cable making it all stop.
Kira's eyes were closed wren she slowly opened them to reveal orange eyes as the three watched in shock.
People started running out of the hospital, screaming and yelling around. Derek noticed Isaac on the ground as he quickly hurried over to him.
Derek knelt next to Isaac as he touched his neck for pulse. Hazel used her ears to listen. "He's not breathing. Scott, Hazel, he's not breathing!"
