Riddles & Frontotemporal demensia

Jenny's POV

It's a quiet ride to Stiles's house. We decide that I was going to  stay at his house for the night because it was very late.

" Stiles?"

" Yes, Jenny?"

" Do you ever get tired?"

" Well not recently. I get terrible nightmares and I just have a feeling that if I slept even a little something would happen."

" That's not what I meant as tired. I mean as in you're tired of hiding things, or tired how the world has treated you, or even the tired where you feel emotionally and psychically drained and you search and search for happiness that may or may not come."

" Do you feel that way, Jenny?"

" I used to. A lot actually, and I think once you feel like that it's hard to not have those feelings."

" Well everyone feels that once in awhile and if someone says they haven't than they're either lying or it will happen eventually."

We get to Stiles's house and quietly walked to his room.

" I'll take the floor.", I say

         " No Jenny, I won't allow you to sleep on the floor. I would be a terrible boyfriend if I let you sleep on the floor. I'll sleep on the floor, you can take my bed."

" Stiles we could share the bed if you want to."

" Okay", Stiles says walking to the bed.

" Goodnight Stiles."

" Goodnight Jenny", he says before falling asleep.

I wake up in the middle of the night with my phone ringing.

I grab my phone. " Hello", I say still half asleep.

" Jenny! Where are you?"

" Scott? I'm at stiles' place. why?"

" Because Stiles is missing."

I look around the room. It was empty. Stiles was gone.

" I don't understand. We were sleeping together just hours ago."

" Just stay there. Isaac and I are coming", says Scott.

I hung up the phone. My phone rang again. It was Stiles.

" Stiles! Where are you?"

" I don't know. It's dark and I'm scared. I don't think I have much time. I just have to say that I...I.

The call ends before I could hear what he was going to say. I begin to tear up.

" What if he's in danger because of me?", I thought to myself.

Scott and Isaac burst through the door.

" Are you alright?", Isaac asks.

" I'm fine for now, we just have to find Stiles."

Scott explains to me everything that Stiles said on the phone. Just than Lydia and Aiden comes into Stiles's room.

" Did you get a call from Stiles also?", I ask Lydia

" No she heard something, but don't ask it's pretty confusing", says Aiden.

" What did his dad say?", Lydia asks.

" I haven't told him", Scott mutters.

" You haven't told his dad! Don't you think he could help find Stiles also", I say.

" He told me not to tell and we can call Allison and Derek also for more help."

" How do we know Jenny isn't the one who took him and then came back to look like she did nothing wrong. Do I have to remind you that she is also a Demon.", says Aiden.

" You think I have something to do with this! You know what at least I didn't have to kill someone unlike you! Yeah I know what you've done before I got here."

" Guys it's no time to fight. I trust Jenny and I don't think Jenny would ever put Stiles in any harm", says Scott.

" Thanks, Scott", I say giving Scott a hug.

" This is touching it really is, but I'm calling the cops, you promised not to call but I didn't", says Lydia dialing 911.

" We don't need to sheriff station is only 5 minutes away."

" Lydia, you and Aiden should stay here maybe Stiles could have left a clue to where he was", I suggest.

" That's a good idea. We'll stay here and text you if we find anything", Lydia says.

Scott, Isaac, and I go to the sheriff station and tell everything to sheriff Stilinski.

" Okay, check for anywhere that matches the description of what they just said and try to find Stiles's jeep", Sheriff Stilinski says to Deputy Parrish. He then closes the door to his office. " Alright is there anything that you know that can't be shared to the other cops?"

" Wait he knows about the whole supernatural stuff?", I ask.

" Yeah, we told him a couple of weeks ago.", says Scott.

" So what are you?", asks Sheriff Stilinski.

" I'm a Delta werewolf and I'm also half Demon."

" First of all i didn't even think that was possible and second so that means your the enemy sorta.", says sheriff Stilinski trying to figure everything out.

" Well it's very possible my mother was a werewolf and my father is a demon and now usually you get just one supernatural power but I got two because I was born on a special day that allowed my werewolf side to be stronger making me a delta but still letting me have my demon side and second I guess yes I'm kinda the enemy in a way."

" Well this is confusing as ever", sheriff Stilinski says.

We were interrupted by deputy Parrish telling us that they found Stiles's car.

" You guys go I'm going to stay here.", I say.

" Why?", Isaac asks.

" I just have a feeling but go."

They all ran out the building to go to Stiles's car leaving me to wonder where he could possibly be.

Stiles POV

It was dark and my foot was killing me. I pull out my phone and use the flashlight on it to look around the place that I am trapped in. I look at my leg and it's covered in blood. I yell in pain. I use my phone again to look around hoping that maybe I could find something to help get my foot out of the trap, but instead I find someone writing something on the wall with chalk.

" Who are you?", I ask

Whoever it was stayed quiet. He began to stand up and drop the chalk that he was using to write whatever on the wall. I look at the chalk and back at him. He was gone! All that was left was the number 5, but even soon it disappeared.

Jenny's POV

"Parish can I see the conversation between Scott and Stiles", I ask.

Parish gives me the conversation between Scott and Stiles. There is a slam at the door and out walked in Agent McCall making me look up from what I was reading.

" Have you guys been able to find the sword wielding maniac?", Agent McCall asks.

" Nope, but we have posters", says Officer Parish pointing at the poorly done pictures of the Oni.

" That's not at all what I described to the sketch artist", Agent McCall says in a stressed tone.

" Agent McCall we have bigger things to deal with than your little problem right now", I say.

" What would that be?"

I look over at the conversation again. " Are these their exact words?", I ask Parrish.

" Yeah that's what Scott said", Parrish says.

" Agent McCall, come with me I might need your help."

Stiles's POV

" Come on!", I say hoping that I would still have power on my phone to call Jenny or Scott.

I see the same person that was here just minutes ago. " who are you!", I yell.

He began saying something in a different language that I couldn't understand.

" I don't know what you're saying", I groan.

He kept talking in the same language.

" I don't understand what you're saying.", I say still in pain from my foot.

" Not who are you Stiles, but who are we", says the mysterious person.

" We're going to die before you get out Stiles."

" Stop! Stop saying we!", I yell.

" You're going to freeze to death Stiles if you don't get out", says the unknown figure.

" How can I leave if you put a metal trap on my foot!", I yell.

" We're trying to save you, Stiles. we're trying to save your life."

" What does that even mean", I say.

" Stiles what would you do if the one you cared about was in danger?", says the unknown figure.

" Stay away from my family and friends", I say in a serious tone.

" Don't worry they're all safe, but you forgot one person."

I am confused at first about what he was talking, but I realize right when I saw her walk through the door. Jenny.

" Stay away from her. She means no harm.", I say pleading

" Stiles! There you are!", I hear her running to me.

" Jenny! No!"

I was too late he grabs her away from me. She was now having a gun pointed to her head.

Jenny's POV

Agent McCall and I were about to leave to find Stiles, but Melissa arrive at the sheriff's office wanting to help, so we take her with us.

" So what are you trying to say", asks Melissa

" Well he could still be sleeping. Sleepwalking actually", I say.

" Yeah makes sense people do crazy things while sleepwalking. Some can cook in their sleep, or mow their lawns, basically anything.", says Agent McCall

" That doesn't prove that Stiles is sleepwalking", says Melissa.

" Remember that townhouse we owned and I came home drunk and peed in our closet"

" Gross really!", I say.

" Let me finish. I'm drunk and I had to go to the bathroom, so I went to go use the restroom, next thing I knew you were yelling at me."

" Yeah because you were peeing in our closet", Melissa says.

" But I thought it was a bathroom", Agent McCall says.

" That proves that maybe Stiles thinks he is in some kind of basement, but really he is somewhere else.", I point out.

" Makes kinda sense, but how do you know where he is", asks Melissa.

" I have an idea where he is", I say.

Stiles's POV

" Please let her go! I'll do anything. Just please I love her", I say.

" You don't understand, do you? It's a riddle. Do you know any riddles", says the mysterious person.

" I know a couple", I mutter looking at Jenny.

" What gets wetter the more it dries?"

" Towel", I respond.

" Everybody has it, but nobody can lose it."

I look at Jenny remembering that she told this riddle before, but she didn't know the answer.

" I don't know", I say.

"Wrong answer", he says before shooting Jenny in the head.

" No!", I yell.

" Everybody has it but no one can lose it.", he says again coming closer and closer.

"I DON'T KNOW!", I yell.

He grabs the metal trap and starts to drag me across the room. I try to grab anything that's possible.

"Stiles! You're okay. I'm here.", says a familiar voice.

" Jenny? You're dead, though."

" No, no I'm not Stiles. It was a dream. Just a dream.", says Jenny reassuringly.

I lay my head on Jenny's lap and allow her to comfort me from everything that's happened in the last couple of hours.

Jenny's POV

"Melissa we need to take Stiles to the hospital quickly", I say looking at Stiles sleeping in my lap.

"Found Stiles. He was sleep walking and ended up in the forest. Taking him to the hospital. Everyone should come" I text everyone.

When we get to the hospital, Melissa and Agent McCall take Stiles to the emergency room, while I walk to where Aiden and Derek are.

" Do you think he was actually sleepwalking or more?", asks Aiden.

" In this town, there's always more waiting to happen", says Derek.

" What if I knew something", Aiden says.

" What would that be Aiden?", I say.

" Well I overheard Stiles telling Scott and Jenny that he was the one that left the note in the chemistry", Aiden says.

" You listened to our conversation. I know I heard Scott say not to listen in", I say.

" So what you think Stiles, who I must remind you is weak, skinny, defenseless is the Nogitsune, who is strong and powerful. Why would they want Stiles and not like Jenny or Scott. Why not someone with a little more.... power", Derek says.

" Something wrong Derek?" I ask.

" I think I know what Stiles was trying to do", says Derek running off.

" This is all your fault", says Aiden.

" How is it my fault!", I ask angrily

" If you and your family didn't come maybe Stiles would be okay and we wouldn't have to worry about some stupid demons trying to kill us!", Aiden yells.

" Don't blame this on me! I've had nothing to do with this shit!", I yell back.

"I'm just saying that maybe you should just leave us all alone and just be with you little Demon/werewolf family", says Aiden.

" I'm not leaving my friends to try and defeat the Oni and whoever the nogitsune is, even though I have an idea who. Let me remind you, you were once the villain also, so don't be saying that I'm doing stuff wrong because I'm in a position just like you and your brother was except I know what's the good and the bad side.", I say before walking away into my car and driving home.

I wasn't able to go to school knowing that Stiles is at the hospital, so I decide to skip school for the day and stay with Stiles at the hospital.

When I get there Melissa and Sheriff Stilinski were talking to each other about Stiles and symptoms.

" Is Stiles okay?", I ask looking in his room, where he was sleeping.

" Shouldn't you be at school?", asks sheriff Stilinski

" Yeah,but I couldn't stand not seeing Stiles especially since what happened last night. That was very traumatizing I mean whatever he was dreaming about, he thought I was dead when we found him. hat were you guys talking about?"

" Stiles might have something that my wife had, so were gonna test him", says sheriff Stilinski.

" I'm so sorry sheriff", I say apologetically. 

I receive a text from Scott saying " hey didn't see you at school. Stiles is having test done on him are you coming?

I text back " Yeah I've been at the hospital with your mom, sheriff and Stiles. See you there."

It was time for Stiles's operation and saying I was nervous was one thing I was frightened. I didn't want to lose Stiles. I held Stiles's hand tightly.

" Do you know what they're testing for?", says Stiles asking Scott and I

Scott and I shook our head. " It's called Frontotemporal dementia, areas of your brain start to shrink. It's what my mother had. There's no cure."

" Stiles if you have it I can help you know. You know I'll do anything for you right?", says Scott.

Scott and Stiles gave each other a big hug, which brought tears to my eyes.

" Can I get a second with just Jenny?", asks Stiles.

" Sure. I'll be over there.", says Scott pointing to where everyone else was.

" Stiles, I can't lose you. I just can't.", I say wiping tears away from my eyes.

" You won't I promise", Stiles reassures.

" But what if you have it?", I ask.

" Don't worry for right now."

I nod my head and give Stiles a big hug.

" I love you Jenny",  Stiles whispers in my ear.

I look at him, shocked what he said. " I love you Stiles.", I say giving a quick but passionate kiss to Stiles before leaving the room to where everyone else is. " Wait I almost forgot".

" What is it Jenny?", Stiles asks.

" The answer to the riddle. Everybody has it but no one can lose it. It's a shadow.", I say before going to the room.

" Why did you tell him a riddle?", ask Scott.

" He's going to need the answer to that riddle in a couple of minutes."

" How do you know?", Scott asks.

" I can't tell you here. let's go out to the hall.", I say walking into the hall.

" Wait Jenny!", says sheriff Stilinski

" Yeah?", I say.

" Thank you", sheriff Stilinski says.

" For what?", I ask.

" For just being there for Stiles and for just loving him. You really changed his life", sheriff Stilinski says.

" Your welcome, but as cheesy as it sounds I didn't change him, he changed me", I say.

Scott and I walk into the hall, when Derek is there, waiting for us.

"You know what you were saying about chemo signals the other day. it reminded me to when you were teaching me how to use anger to control the shift", says Scott.

"You know I took Cora to South America right?", Derek says.

" Is Cora like his girlfriend or something?", I whisper to Scott

" No she's his younger sister.", says Scott.

" Well besides dropping Cora off I also needed some alone time to talk to my mother."

" Your dead mother?", I question.

" She told me something that changed my perspective on a lot of things. She said that not only did we live in beacon hills, but we protected it also. This town needs someone to protect it from the supernatural and I see both of you doing that", Derek says.

" Derek I can't protect a town. I'm having a hard time already protecting the people I love. Why aren't you even trying to kill me. I am practically the enemy I started this mess!", I say.

" Jenny I see potential in you. You aren't the bad guy, more like related to the bad guy. Don't worry I'll be here to teach you things and maybe I'll learn stuff from you also", says Derek reassuringly

I walk up and hug Derek. " Thank you for believing me". I could tell that Derek was not the hugging type but he still gave me a hug. " I'll let you guys talk more, I'm going to see how Stiles and everyone else is doing", I say.

" Okay I'll meet you in there", says Scott.

Stiles's POV

I am in here for what felt like hours. I then hear the doctor say something. I don't think he knew that he left the microphone on but he did. I heard that I had it. I start to tear up thinking about my friends, my dad and Jenny. I close my eyes wanting everything to go away.

I open my eyes and I was still in the hospital, but whoever it was was here again.

" Have you figured out my riddle yet? If you answer correctly I might consider letting them go."

" Letting who go?", I ask.

"Your friends, your family and your precious girlfriend. Everyone who means anything to you. We're going to destroy them all Stiles. One by one."

"Why?", I say starting to cry.

" Everybody has it but nobody can lose it? What is it Stiles?"

I remember Jenny telling me the answer. She told me just under a hour ago, why can't I remember.

" Everybody has it but nobody can lose it. What is it Stiles."

I turn around and cover my ears. " I need to remember! What the hell was it.", I think to myself.

I turn around " a shadow."

The person under the cloth was never what I imagined. It was my shadow.

Jenny's POV

The place went pitch black for a second. The lights came back to normal after a couple of seconds.

" What was that?", asks Melissa.

" Don't worry, I think It was just a power surge", says the doctor.

I look back where they were testing Stiles. " Where's Stiles!", I say.

I run out the room and go to look outside for Scott and Derek. Nothing. All I see is  Kira who was looking at something up on the roof.

" Jenny!",  Kira screams.

I look at her and then up where she was looking. There is an electricity cable coming right towards.
