Wisdom's Daughter

Stiles laid on the hospital chairs, asleep while speaking to himself. "Ohh - Just like that. No, no, you first. Me first?"

Mr. Martin stepped out of the room and noticed Stiles. "He's been here all night? Which one is he here for?"

"He's been here all weekend," Melissa replied. "He is here for both, but mostly Tessa, I think."

"You're dirty," Stiles said.

"And how is Tessa?" Mr. Martin asked.

"Uh, she woke up a little while ago, but passed out again. Excuse me."

"Paging Dr. Stateman. Dr. Stateman, please."

Stiles jolted awake and tried to get a Reese's from the vending machine, and subconsciously, something for Tessa as well.

"Seriously?" Stiles asked. "Come - Just - Gah! It's not going to work. Whoa!" The vending machine fell to the ground.

Lydia let out a loud scream. Scott hear from miles away, and Tessa shot up and quickly left her room.

Stiles ran to Lydia and Tessa's rooms. "Lydia? Tessa? Lydia! Tessa!"

"What the hell was that?" Melissa wondered.

"Lydia? Tessa?" Stiles called again.

Stiles looked out the open window, showing the nearly full moon. He ran to Tessa's room to see her bed empty and frowned.

Sheriff Stilinski, who was called in, said, "Naked? As in nude? Possibly just underclothes?"

"I'm pretty sure they mean the same thing, but, yes, as far as we know, they left here clothing-optional and street clothes-optional."

"All right, you checked the whole hospital, right?"

"Nothing suspicious?"

"Nothing. They just took off."

"All right, let's get an APB out on a 16-year-old redhead and a 16-year-old blonde. Any other descriptors?"

"5'3, green eyes, fair-skinned, and her hair is actually strawberry blonde. 5'3, gray eyes, naturally tanned-skin and her hair is neutral-golden blonde," Stiles said.

"Is that right?"

"Yeah."

"Uh - come here." He grabbed his son's ear. "What the hell are you still doing here?"

"Um, providing moral support?"

"Uh-huh. How 'bout you provide your ass back home, where you should be."

"Okay, I can do that too."

"Yeah."

"Mm."

"We're gonna find them, so don't worry."

Stiles grabbed the hospital gowns and held them up to Scott. "These are the ones they were just wearing? I'm not gonna let anymore hurt them. Not again. What Peter did to my cousin..."

"All right, just shove the things in your face and let's find them," Stiles retorted and someone else appeared. "Wow!"

"What are you doing here? Someone's gonna see us."

"I don't care - they are my best friends, and we need to find her before they do," Allison replied.

"I can find them before the cops can."

"How about before my father does?"

"He knows?"

"Yeah. I just saw him and three other guys leave my house in two SUVs."
