Fourteen

Stella

We were right on track to remembering Stiles. Lydia and I visited Sheriff Stilinski and told him about Stiles. He didn't give up. When I stood in Stiles' room yesterday I found his lacrosse jersey, number 24 and I showed Noah. He started remembering Stiles. Noah found pins and red string sitting on one of his shelves in Stiles room. I stood looking at him. "Maybe this is your way to remember him" I shrugged. Noah passed me the red string and I started unravelling it as we stood in this empty room, trying to remember Stiles.

We started attaching red string and pins from certain parts of his room. Gradually things belonging to Stiles started reappearing. We were smiling at each other. This was his way of remembering his son. The more strings we attached to the floor the more things of Stiles' started to appear. I looked to his bed side table and found a small box placed on it. There was an envelope standing upright on the table which read, "For Stel x". I looked at Noah not knowing what to do. "Unless he meant to give that to Malia I don't know who owns it" he said. I opened the box to find a love heart shaped locket with a diamond in the middle. I opened the locket to see a photo of me and Stiles and me and Scott as kids. I teared up. Stiles has always been in my life. I closed the locket and turned it over. There was a message engraved on it "No matter where you are in the world you'll always have a piece of me with you. Happy Birthday beautiful. Remember we love you.-Stiles x" I broke down in tears. Stiles got me this for my birthday. Sheriff Stilinski pulled me in for a hug. "He cared about you so much" he said as I sobbed into his shoulder. "I just hate myself for not remembering him" I cried. "You will. You'll remember him" He replied. I sniffed. "Here let me put it on for you" Noah said as he placed the locket on my neck. We then continued to try and get Stiles' room back. As we attached more strings to different parts of the room, his crime board appeared. I stood back and looked at it. All of the investigations, murders and crime the two of us solved, or tried to solve. "What do the different coloured strings mean?" Noah asked. "Green is solved, Yellow is to be determined and Red, red is unsolved" I sniffed. "What about blue?" he asked. "Blue's just pretty" I laughed through my tears. I had no idea how I knew this but I did. Just then Noah noticed something on Stiles's wall. A photograph. He made his way through the mounds of string and looked at it. It was a photo, of eight year old Stiles sitting on a hospital bed with Claudia. Noah looked at me. "This was taken the day before C-Claudia died" he informed me. "I know". Noah looked at me. "I was there" I informed him.

-Awhile later at the Sheriff's station-

Myself, Scott, Lydia, Malia and Peter were trying to figure out a way to bring Stiles back. "No. No. I will not let you bite him" I shook my head. "Its the only way we can get Stiles out of that place" Scott said. "There has to be another way?" I asked. "Are you planning on biting everyone in the train station?" Peter asked. "Including Mom and Argent?" I asked. Scott looked up at me. "Scott no you are not biting Mom or Argent or Stiles okay I won't let you" i shouted. "There's no other way to bring him back Stella" Scott informed me. "We'll figure it out. We always do" I replied. "Stella's right" Lydia said. "There has got to be another way" she said. "Listen to your brother Stella. We are the only ones left in Beacon Hills, as well as the Sheriff. Okay? We are slowly becoming a ghost town like Canann. There is no other way to save Stiles" Peter informed us. "That is why I am the only person that is going in" Scott said. "I want in too" I blurted. "Stella if you go in through that rift there is a possibility you may never come out or even worse if you do get out you could come back dead" Peter said. "If it means I have to risk my life for Stiles then so be it" I rolled my eyes. "No Stella you're not doing this" Scott shook his head. "Then bite me. I'll become like you. I can get in and out of that place and heal" I shrugged. "No, I'm not putting you through that" he said. "Then I'm going in with you. Human or not". Scott sighed. He knew he couldn't fight me on this one.

We went out into the woods. The spot where we found Peter. Trying to find a rift like the one Peter came out of. There was no rift anywhere. "W-where's the rift?" I asked. "If I knew that I wouldn't be standing here looking like an idiot" Scott informed me. I looked up to the sky. "I really hope it didn't come from up there" I whined. Scott and I split up and as I was walking I found a tunnel. "Scott" I yelled. Scott came running over to me. "What what's wrong?" he asked. "Look at this" I said as I pointed to the tunnel. Scott leaned down and looked at the black leaves. "The rift isn't above us" I heard Lydia say. "Its below us" Scott replied.

Scott called Malia and she came to meet us. The four of us made our way down through the tunnels. We each held up our torches on our phones as it was hard to see anything. "I can't see a thing" Lydia said. "The rift has gotta be around here somewhere" Scott said. I kept walking and decided to go a different way to the rest when I was thrown back. "Found it" I whined in pain as Scott picked me up off the floor. "Are you okay?" he asked worried. "Yeah I'm fine" I replied as I brushed myself off. Just then I got a phone call from Noah Stilinski.

-Phone convo-

N-No I just saw his face. I knew it was him

S-Okay I'm coming over.

N-No stay with your friends. Bring Stiles home.

S-Will do sir.

-end convo-

"Who was that?" Scott asked. "Noah Stilinski he said that when Claudia disappeared a rift in Stiles' bedroom opened and he saw him" I informed them. "H-he saw Stiles?" Scott replied. "Yeah he said that he couldn't see where he was. All he could see was Stiles' face but he knew it was him" I teared up. "Lets go find him" Scott smiled at me.

-That night-

We sat at the kitchen table in Lydia's house trying to figure out what to do. When Sheriff Stilinski came through the door. "I have a son"he informed us. I smiled. "His name is Mieczyslaw Stilinski but we call him Stiles. I remember" he informed us. I looked to Scott who looked like he was about to burst into tears. I walked over to Scott and hugged him whilst Noah was talking about Stiles. "I remember when Stiles first got his jeep" Noah smiled. "It belonged to Claudia" he said. "The first time he took a spin in the jeep he went straight into a ditch" he smiled. I was smiling through the tears. Hearing Noah talk about memories of Stiles. "I gave him his first roll of duct tape that day" he smiled. "That stupid duct tape" Malia laughed a little. "We're here tonight because my goofball son decided to drag, Scott, his greatest friend in the world into the woods to find a dead body" he informed us. Scott was crying. "How did you remember?" Scott sniffed. "It started with the jersey Stella gave me. And then I found the red string for his crime board, finally his whole room came back, And all the memories with it" he assured us. "The the strangest thing happened" he said. "What?" Lydia asked curiously "A rift opened and I thought I saw him. Just for a moment and then he was gone". I started crying. Hearing him say this in person was more over whelming than over the phone. "A rift? I thought there was only one rift and we saw that disappear?" Lydia said. "If you remember Stiles, and a new rift was created" Scott said. "If Noah can do it" Malia said. "Maybe we can" I replied. "But that rift closed" Liam shrugged. "Then we will open it again" I replied. "How?" Noah asked. "By remembering Stiles" I replied. We have to find a way to remember him. We have to bring Stiles home.
