"Why were you not headed to lunch like everyone else?" James reprimanded Stephanie after the coyote attack in the locker room. "They left their bags." Stephanie whispered before Will and Isaac walked passed the pair. Will sneakily grabbed Stephanie's arm, pulling her away from their father and dragging her over to Scott and Stiles.

"I think I know what she was looking for." Stiles muttered, reaching into his backpack and pulling out the Lilly Laughs A Lot doll. Will's eyes instantly went wide as Stephanie snatched the doll out of Stiles' hand.

"Why the hell would you take this?!" Stephanie whisper yelled and Stiles shrugged. "I thought you could use it, you know, for like her scent." He said, looking back and forth between Scott and Isaac.

"Where did you get that? Where did you find this?" Henry Tate yelled as he ran into the locker room, snatching the doll out of Steph's hand. "It belonged to my daughter."

"We know." Will mumbled, making Henry slowly look up at Will, squinting before he saw Stephanie right next to him. His furrowed brows quickly raised as he looked at his niece and nephew he hadn't seen in years. "Stephanie? William?"

"Henry..." James muttered, walking towards his brother in-law. "I don't know how you heard about this. If you got your own police scanner or what... But you can't be here." James went to wrap an arm around Henry and lead him out of the school but as soon as James came into contact with Henry's side, James froze. He slowly lifted up Henry's jacket to reveal a gun.

"I have a permit." Henry quickly said but James shook his head. "California schools are gun free zones, permit or no permit."

"You need to leave, Mr. Tate. Now." Sheriff Stilinksi said as he walked towards the two men. James quickly turned to the Sheriff, nodding his head. "I got him." The Sheriff nodded as Henry quickly turned to him. "You find that animal. You find that thing." The Sheriff nodded as James lead Henry out of the school.

The five teens stood in silence after what they just witnessed before Stiles whipped his head to Will, his face scrunched with a playful look on his face. "Did he call you... William?"

Will sighed, feeling like he was going to get made fun of by Stiles as he turned to him. "It was before people started calling me Will. But that doesn't matter! We need to find Malia before Henry does."

"Yeah, Williams got a point." Stiles said, a big grin on his face as he watched Will roll his eyes before he turned back to the rest of the group. "But how?" Stephanie's eyes went wide, looking up at the four boys. "Deaton."

...

"Xylazine. It's a tranquilizer for horses." Deaton said as he slammed a medicine down on the table before looking up at Stephanie, Isaac, Will, Stiles and Scott. "For a werecoyote, expect it to work within seconds. So whoever's shooting, needs to be a damn good shot."

"Allison's a perfect shot." Stephanie said before Stiles shook his head from the other side of the table. "She used to be."

"She can do it." Will quickly said, turning to Stiles as Isaac sighed. "If we manage to find the thing." Steph quickly turned to him, smacking his shoulder as Stiles pointed at him. "Okay, what is the point of him? Seriously, I mean, what is his purpose? Aside from the persistent negativity and the scarf? What's up with the scarf anyway? It's 65 degrees out."

"I like his scarves..." Will muttered and Isaac tilted his head, nodding. "Thank you, Will. And look, maybe I'm asking a question no one here wants to ask. How do we turn a coyote back into a girl, When she hasn't been a girl for eight years?"

"I can do it." Scott abruptly asked, making everyone turn to him. "You can?" Stephanie asked, her brows raised. Scott turned to her, shrugging his shoulders. "You remember the night that Peter trapped us in the school?"

Stephanie, Stiles and Will nodded, making Scott continue. "In the gym, he was able to make me turn using just his voice. Deucalion did the same thing in the distillery."

"This is a werecoyote, Scott. Who knows if it'll even work if you can find someone who can teach you." Stephanie said and Isaac nodded from beside her, leaning towards her so their shoulders bumped.

"We need a real alpha." Stiles said, making Scott turn to him, slightly offended. Stiles scoffed at Scott, shaking his head. "You know what I mean. An alpha who can do alpha things. You know, an alpha who can get it going. You know, get it..." "Up?" Will asked and Stiles snapped his fingers, pointing at Will as he nodded.

Stephanie instantly snickered, making Scott whip his head to her. "What?" Stephanie lifted her hand to her face, trying to control her laughter as she slowly looked up at him. "You're an alpha with performance issues."

Will instantly chuckled, making Stiles hit the back of his head. Isaac, watching the two from across the table, sighed, turning to Scott. "Is there anyone else besides Derek who could help? I wouldn't trust Peter."

"Maybe the twins?" Stephanie asked and Deaton shook his head. "They're not alphas anymore. After what Jennifer did, almost killing them? It broke that part of them."

"Yeah, but what if they know how to do it?" Stephanie asked and Stiles shook his head. "Nobody's seen them for weeks." Will's face scrunched for a few seconds before his eyes widened, looking back and forth between the people in the room. "Well, actually, that's not totally true."

Stephanie immediately caught on, nodding her head. "I'll call Lydia." Stephanie said, going to walk out of the room until Scott leaped forward, grabbing her arm to stop her. "Wait. Me and Allison still aren't... better."

Stephanie groaned, knowing what he was implying. "I need to be a babysitter again?" "Please?" Scott asked quietly. Stephanie looked at her friend for a few seconds before sighing, rolling her eyes as she nodded. "Fine."

Scott smiled happily as Stephanie walked out. Will, watching Stephanie leave, quickly smacked Stiles' shoulder. "Ow. Ow! Will! Why are you hitting me?" Stiles asked, making Isaac, Scott and Deaton turn to them.

Will pointed at the ground where Stephanie left to find smoke and char on the ground. Isaac's eyes went wide, looking up at the boys. "I'll make sure she cools off. She almost burnt down like... three properties this week." Scott nodded and Isaac went running after Stephanie.

"Properties? Who the hell says properties? This isn't Monopoly." Stiles mumbled, making Will laugh, brining his hand up to his face to cover them.

...

"Do you think you can hone in on Malia? If not, we're going to be in the woods for a long time." Stephanie asked as she walked into Chris Argents office with Allison and Isaac.

"I've got a pretty good lock on her scent. It's actually kind of strong." Isaac said, making Stephanie and Allison's eyes go wide, turning to him. "What is it?" Allison asked and Isaac sighed, looking up at Stephanie. "Pee."

Stephanie snickered, walking towards the table. "Classy." She muttered as she walked towards Argents table. She went to touch the map but as soon as her fingers hit the corner of the paper, it lit into a small flame. Stephanie gasped, quickly blowing it out, catching Isaac's attention. "You okay?"

Stephanie slowly looked up at him and gulped. "Yep." She mumbled and Isaac sighed, knowing she was
lying. He went to walk towards her before realizing Allison had been very quiet. He turned his head into the direction she was in and immediately gasped. "Steph! Look out!"

Stephanie turn to see what he was looking at. Her eyes went wide at Allison sending an arrow to her. Stephanie quickly shot her hand up, purple wisps flying around the arrow, stopping it in its tracks just as Isaac got in front of Stephanie. "Allison!" Stephanie yelled, breaking Allison out of her nightmare.

The huntresses eyes went wide at the scene in front of her, quickly dropping the crossbow. "Oh, my god! I'm so sorry. I'm... I'm so sorry. I don't know what I was doing. I'm sorry." Allison mumbled as Stephanie slowly lowered the arrow, taking slow steps towards Allison. "Hey. Hey... It's okay. It's better than ring daggers, I guess." Stephanie chuckled out, calming Allison down slightly.

...

"Anyone else think we might be doing more harm than good?" Lydia asked and Stephanie sighed, turning to her. "We're trying to keep a father from killing his own daughter."

"Actually, we're trying to keep a guy from killing a coyote who is actually his daughter, who we don't know how to change from a coyote back to his daughter." Isaac said, making the group slowly turn to him. Stephanie sent him a small glare, resulting in Isaac immediately shaking his head in apology, making Stephanie sigh. "And again with the not helping. Thank you, babe."

Scott shook his head at the couple, holding back a laugh before turning to Allison. "Did you bring it?" Allison nodded, slowly reaching into her bag and pulling out the Xylazine.

The seven started walking towards the Tate house when the sound of a gunshot rang through the air. Scott didn't hesitate to start running. "Wait, wait. Wait! Wait!" Stiles yelled as Stephanie threw her hands in her hair. "God dammit!"

Stiles immediately went to run after him when Will's phone vibrated. He quickly went to check his phone, his eyes going wide at the caller ID. "Hey! Woah woah. It's my dad." Will said, making Stiles skid to a stop, turning to look at him.

Will quickly answered the phone, putting it on speaker. "Hey, Dad. What's up?" Will asked as everyone started to crowd around the phone. "William. Did you to take that doll again?" James asked lowly. Will's eyes went wide, shaking his head as he looked around the group. "No. No, none of us took it. And why is everyone saying my full name lately?"

James sighed from the phone. "Then Malia took it." Stiles scoffed at his words, looking down at the phone as if he was talking to James himself. "It took the doll again? What the hell is so important about this doll?"

James trilled his lips. "I don't know, but listen to me. There are traps all over the woods. Near the trails. Probably near the car crash. I want you to stay out of those woods. You got that?"

Stephanie's eyes went wide, looking up at the group. "He's trying to get Malia." Stephanie turned to Isaac and the two immediately went running, Lydia and Allison right after them. "You guys head east. We'll go west." Lydia said, making Stephanie roll her eyes. "Just say left or right, Lyd."

Lydia rolled her eyes. "Go right!" Isaac and Stephanie nodded, running off to the right as Lydia and Allison went left.

Stiles slowly looked up at Will, a slightly shocked face. "It's the doll." Will's brows furrowed at him, slowly hanging up the phone. "What?"

Stiles sighed, wiping the corner of his mouth. "All right, think about it. Why would it go all the way to the school and then all the way back to the house just for a doll? One that was in the car wreck in the first place. We didn't find it in the coyote den."

Will shrugged, letting out a quiet sigh. "It likes the scary ass doll. Who cares?" Stiles nodded, taking a step closer to Will, startling Will slightly. "It likes the doll a lot. What kind of doll is it again?"

"Lilly Laughs A-Lot. Actually, I took a pic. Here." Will said, quickly pulling out his phone and scrolling to the top of his camera roll for an old picture of the four. Stephanie, Will and Malia were nine years old in the photo, a seven year old Kylie was sprawled out on Stephanie's lap, holding the doll. The photo was taken just a few month before the crash.

"That's Malia?" Stiles asked, pointing at the girl on Stephanie's lap. Will shook his head, pointing at the youngest girl. "No, that's my other cousin. Kylie."

"It's Kylie's doll?" Stiles asked, looking up at Will, there faces inches apart. Will's eyes went wide, looking down at Stiles' lips for a spilt second before looking back up at Stiles, swallowing the lump in his throat and nodding. "Yep. It was always hers. Steph and Malia would steal it from her all the time."

Stiles slowly nodded, squinting at Will. "I know what she's doing." Will perked up looking at Stiles with furrowed brows. "What?" "I know where she's going." Stiles mumbled.

...

"Isaac, wait!" Stephanie screamed as she ran after Isaac, a lot slower than him. "Slow down!"

Suddenly, Isaac took a step, his foot instantly getting caught in a bear trap. Isaac screamed in pain, his voice shaking the air from his roar. Stephanie slid on her knees to get beside Isaac.

"Shit! Shit! Shit!" Isaac yelled and Stephanie quickly grabbed Isaac's face, turning him to face her. "Isaac, you need to breathe. I'm gonna look for directions on how to disarm this or something." Isaac nodded, slowly looking upat her before his eyes fell just passed her. "Steph." He whispered.

Stephanie looked up at Isaac before turning her head to see where he was looking. "Shit." She whispered, shooting up as she watched Henry load his gun, Malia as the coyote just five feet away from him.

Isaac panted in pain as Stephanie stared at the scene."Allison has the Xylazine. What do I do?" Stephanie whispered out, shaking her head as she watched her Uncle raise his gun at the werecoyote.

"Hit Tate. Grab a branch your something? Okay? Save your cousin." Isaac whispered. Stephanie looked down at Isaac for a few seconds before looking back up at Henry who moved his finger onto the trigger.

Stephanie gasped, reaching her hand out to point at a branch, ripping the branch off of the tree and hitting Henry in the head, only enough to knock him out.

Stephanie tried to catch her breath, running a hand through her hair before looking down at Isaac, her eyes flashing purple. "Now let's get you out of this trap."

...

"Scott, it's me, you got to call me back as soon as you can. It wasn't Malia's doll. It was her sister's. Malia left it at the car for her sister. It's like bringing flowers to a grave. Okay, and we stole the flowers. So, that's all she's trying to do, right. Bring the doll back to the grave, to the car wreck. That's where she's headed. The car wreck." Stiles said as he and Will walked through the woods, trying to find any of the group.

As Will took a step, he felt the ground was harder than it had been before and as soon as all of his weight was on his right foot, he heard a metal click noise, making his blood run cold as he stayed frozen in his spot.

"Stiles?" Will called out quietly just as Stiles finished his voicemail to Scott. "Yeah." Stiles said, still looking down at his phone, not even stopping his walking. "Stiles." Will repeated, his voice more eager, making Stiles slow his steps.

He slowly turned around and felt panic fill him up at Will stand in a bear trap. "Will, don't move." Stiles said, slowly walking towards him. "Yeah, no shit." Will said, making Stiles slowly look up at him with an offended look. Will sighed, shaking his head. "Sorry. I'm panicking. Just... Look for a warning label or something."

"A warning label?" Stiles asked, looking up and Will with an 'are you kidding me?' look. Will shrugged aggressively, feeling anxiety fill him up. "Instructions on how to disarm it! I don't know!"

"Will, why the hell would they put instructions on the bottom of a trap?" Stiles asked, bending down to look for instructions. "Because animals can't read. Duh." Will said, making Stiles roll his eyes. When Stiles found the instructions, he froze at the words jumbling together. "Will, we got a problem."

Will slowly looked down at Stiles who was staring at the trap, too worried to look up at Will. "What?" Will asked quietly, making Stiles sigh, slowly looking up at him. "I can't read either."

Will shut his eyes in panic, pulling his lips into his mouth as he counted in his head, once he got to ten, he let out a breath, looking down at Stiles. "Okay... Okay... You know what? You- You don't need instructions. You're too smart to waste your time with them, okay? You can figure it out. Stiles, you're the one who always figures it out. So you can do it. I believe in you." Will rambled, not even hearing or thinking about the words he was saying before they came out of his mouth.

Stiles looked at Will for a few seconds before nodding. "Okay, here we go. Ready?" Stiles asked, looking up at Will who kept his eyes ahead of him as he nodded his head. Stiles looked back down at the trap, slowly reaching for the knob before quickly turning it.

Will yelped as he removed his foot from the trap, falling backwards slightly. Stiles shot up off the ground, getting right behind Will and catching him under his arms just before he hit the ground. Will tried to catch his breath in Stiles' arms as Stiles looked down at him, feeling a small flip in his stomach at Will in his arms as he hugged into him to comfort Will. "I got you. I got you."

...

"I don't care if you're all healed. You got injured so I'm helping you walk. If anything, you should be grateful since this is getting you closer to me." Stephanie said as she had Isaac's arm wrapped around her shoulder as they walked through the woods.

Stephanie's phone vibrated on her pocket and she quickly pulled it out, reading the text she got from Scott before freezing, making Isaac stop since his arm was around her.

Isaac straightened up, looking at Stephanie with slightly wide eyes. "What? What is it?" Stephanie let out a small exhale, turning her lips upwards into a smile as she looked up at Isaac. "They found Malia."

...

Stephanie felt Malia squeeze her hand as they walked up the steps of the Tate household with James. The man lightly knocked on the door and Malia sighed, squeezing Steph's hand tighter. "I'm scared."

Stephanie looked up at Malia, squeezing her hand back in return. "Don't be."

Henry opened the door, an ice pack to his head that made Stephanie stifle a laugh. James quickly elbowed his daughter, making Stephanie clear her throat. "Uncle Henry?"

The man turned to her at his name being called before his eyes fell on Malia beside her. A small gasp escaped his lips, taking a slow step towards the girls. "Malia?"

Malia slowly nodded her head, a small cry escaping her lips as she let go and Stephanie's hand, running to hug her dad.

James smiled at the small reunion, wrapping an arm around Stephanie and pulling her into his side. "You guys did it." James whispered, making Stephanie smile. "Hell yeah, we did."

From the car, Will and Stiles watched with smiles on their faces from the backseat of James' car. Stiles slowly looked off from the scene ahead of them to the side mirror. He slowly squinted at the words until he could actually read them.

Stiles let out a happy laugh, turning to Will with a big smile. "I can read. Oh my God! Will, I can read!" Stiles didn't hesitate to lean over and throw himself into Will's arms for a hug.

Will let out a small chuckle, feeling small butterflies erupt in his chest as he slowly hugged back, resting his chin in the crook of Stiles' neck. "I'm proud of you."
