Ch. 23 - INSATIABLE

"We got an APB out on Lydia's car- every unit on the road is looking for her." Stilinski said walking back into his office making them look up at him, "Isn't there anything else that we could do?" Scott asked and Stilinski shook his head. "At this hour? No, not really."

"He took her for a reason. If we can figure out the "why," then we'll figure out the "where.'" Odette says and Stilinski nodded and looked around making sure no one was listening, "What would a Nogitsune need with a Banshee?" He asked. "I don't know, Lydia's pretty good at finding dead bodies. Maybe he needs to find a body." Stiles suggested.

"Scott, you know more about this than all of us-"

"Me?"

"You said you heard the whole story from Noshiko?"

"Yeah, but that happened during World War II, like seventy years ago." Scott said and Stiles looked up in realization, "Wait. What did you say?"

"Noshiko told me about the internment camp-" Scott started to say but Stiles cut him off, "No, before that. You said "the whole story..." He said deep in thought. "What is it?" Odette asked making him look over at her.

"There's a girl at Eichen House... Her name's Meredith. I think she might be able to help."

Odette sat on one if the chairs in the livingroom of the McCall house while Stiles slept on the couch. All of the sudden Stiles gasped away, standing up and stumbling forward making Odette shoot up and gently grab his arms. "Hey." She said and he look at her while slightly grabbing her arm, "You okay?" She asked.

"What happened? How long was I out?" He asked panickedly, "Just a couple hours. You should sit down." She said and he shook his head. "Where's my dad?" He asked and she sighed softly, "He's at Eichen House, questioning everyone, looking for Meredith... I promised him I wouldn't let you out of my sight." She said and he nodded slightly.

"Okay, what about the others?" He asked, "Allison, Isaac, the twins, they're all looking for Lydia. And Scott is in the other room." She said and Stiles sighed and shook his head. "It's starting to feel like we're waiting for a ransom call..." He said and she nodded slightly, "We'll find her." She said.

Stiles rubbed his arms for a second before turning around and putting his jacket on, "Are you okay?" Odette asked and he nodded slightly. "Yeah. I don't know why, I just can't seem to get warm..." He said and she nodded and gently grabbed his arms, "You should sit down, take it easy." She said before pulling him down to the couch.

She gently grabbed his hand, hoping to warm him but black veins instantly trailed from his hand. to hers making him pull his hand away while she looked at him worriedly. "You're in pain." She said and he sighed softly, "It's not that bad- just more like a dull ache." He said.

"Where?" She asked and he hesitated for a moment before answering, "Sort of everywhere..." He said making her sigh softly. She reached over and grabbed his hand, intertwining their fingers before black veins trailed from his hand to hers for a moment as she frowned slightly.

"You're freezing." She said as she gently rubbed his arm with her other hand and he sighed and nodded slightly. "I'm okay." He said and she just looked at him with a raised eyebrows, "You're a bigger liar than Obi-Wan Kenobi was." She said making him chuckle slightly and shake his head.

"I'm surprised your even still here with me after what happened in Eichen." He said making her purse her lips, "A lot of things happened in Eichen. Care to specify so I don't over think?" She asked and he chuckled slightly, getting what she ment.

"You almost got a hole drilled into your head because of me." Stiles asked and she shrugged slightly, "I probably would have healed. Nothing I can't handle." She said and he sighed. "You could have died... because of me." He said, looking down at the ground and she smiled sadly.
