Running with Wolves

Chapter 43

I got outside, I saw Isaac on the ground, then I was lifted up, I saw Scotty.
Then Derek yelled" Scott, he's not breathing!"
——
I was playing with Tigger on the stairs, Scotty walked past me, scooping me up into his arms. I cried out as Tigger fell from my hand, Scott shushed me gently and put Tigger into my hand again. I played with the back of Scott's hair, laying my head on his shoulder.
I heard Melissa say" How's the little guy doing?"
Scott said" He puked last night, his wolf can't last long without his anchor and this is the longest I've ever seen him away from... him. He shredded up Sheriff's door the other night, and now he's sick. He's probably gotten 2 hours of sleep, he cries and there's nothing I can do to stop it, I even tried giving him a laffy taffy and he didn't stop."
" He's not crying right now."
" I think he cried all of his tears for a few hours. Not even Tigger is helping, and if he even gets slightly upset or angry, he starts to wolf out."
" What does he call it again?"
" Going Aaahoo. He didn't understand he was a werewolf when I first turned, and now it's like all of it is hitting him at once."
" Is he still having trouble expressing the feelings?"
" Yeah, that's the bad part. He doesn't have control over his emotions, which makes it harder to control the wolf." 
" And that's why you're keeping him with you?"
" We figured I'm technically his alpha, so maybe my scent and Stiles' shirts will keep him at a controllable state for as long as we can."
——
I was holding Scotty's hand as we walked down the stairs,
Kira said" The thing is, in all of the stories, kitsune are tricksters. They're mischievous. They don't really get caught up in right or wrong or even understand it." We walked down the hallway,
Scotty said" What's that mean? It's just doing this for the hell of it?"
" No, there was something else I found. If you somehow offend a nogitsune, it can react pretty badly."
" How do you offend a nogitsune?"
" I don't know. But if it's doing something this bad, then someone really, really offended it."

We were in the locker room,
Aiden said" No Stiles, no demonic ninjas."
Ethan said" Things are getting too quiet."
Scott said" Yeah, I know. It's making me nervous too." I started shaking my head then rubbed my head against Ethan's leg, I growled.
" Do you guys hear that?"
" It's an emitter. One of Argent's." I was lifted up, I dug my head against Scott's neck.
" It's coming from the basement." We ran to the basement...
We got down there and saw Stiles at the end of the hallway,
Stiles said" Okay, I know what you guys are thinking, but it's me. I swear to god, it's me." Ethan and Aiden growled and ran to attack him, I roared,
Scott said" Stop! I said stop!" He put me down and pulled Ethan off Stiles, and roared at Aiden.
" It's me, Scott. I swear it's me. I don't know where I've been the last two days or what I've been doing, but this is me. I promise."
Ethan said" You know what happened at the hospital?"
" I know more than that." He walked to a bag," You see this? It's a blueprint of the hospital's electrical wiring. You see all these markings in red? That's my handwriting. I know I did this. I caused the accident. And everything in this bag, it's all stuff that could be part of something bigger."
" What the hell have you been up to?"
" I think something worse. A lot worse." I yawned and laid down, falling asleep, I'm really, really sleepy. I haven't been sleeping a lot.

I was in Stiles' arms, we were at the school, at the buses, a deputy but a thing against the window.
Daddy said" My god. There is a bomb, but not here."
We got to the station, they ran inside, leaving me buckled, I could smell smoke and something else from where I am.
After a few, they came out, Kira was with us,
Kira said" The animal clinic?"
Scotty said" Yeah, the place is lined with mountain ash. Just like my house. It will buy us some time."
Stiles said" But they can get through it?"
" Eventually."
" Nobody's got any better ideas?"
" Okay, sure. Animal clinic."

We got out at the clinic, I screamed as I saw the scary monsters,
Scotty said" Stiles, get inside." Stiles unlocked the door, I ran inside,
Stiles said" Hey, Kira, get inside! Kira!"
Then they came in with Scotty, Scotty had a sword in his tummy, I whimpered, then went aahhoo when Stiles smelled different. I crouched down, growling, Stiles hit Kira's head against the table and she passed out. Stiles grabbed the sword,
Scotty said" Please don't. Stop."
Stiles said" It's okay." Stile twisted the sword," Does it hurt? Hey, look at me." I breathed heavily," You should have done your reading, Scott. See, a nogitsune feeds off chaos, strife and pain. This morning, you took it from Isaac, then you took it from Coach. And then from a dying deputy. All that pain. You took it all. Now, give it to me. You really have to learn, Scott. You really have to learn not to trust a fox. Mmm-mmm. Know why? 'Cause they're tricksters. They'll fool you. They'll fool everyone."
Doc said" Not everyone." Then he stuck something in Stiles' neck, Stiles fell, Doc pulled the sword out of Scotty.
Scott said" What was that? Was that a cure? Is he okay?"
" The fox is poisoned. But it's not dead. Not yet."
