SCOTT AND Miah run through the preserve following Malia's scent but also needing to find Stiles.

The three teens yell startled by each other, "Oh. I think I found something." Stiles says.

"So did Mi and I." Scott states before Stiles motions for the two to follow him, Miah looks around feeling the sudden sense of deja-vu.

"It's a coyote den." Stiles explains showing Scott and Miah the things being kept safe in the den, "Werecoyote." Miah states.

"You see this? This is Malia's, remember? It's the same one she was wearing in the photo." Stiles says picking up the girls jacket as Miah hugs herself growing uncomfortable being in Malia's safe space.

"We shouldn't be in here." Scott states anxiously, seeing Miah hugging herself as well, "What do you mean?" Stiles asks confused.

"She's not going to come back now. We just invaded her home. Our scent's going to be everywhere." Miah explains knowing the feeling of being a coyote herself that they like their personal space.

"If she's not going to come back here. Where's she going to go?" Stiles asks.

"I don't know." Scott shrugs looking around the dark den, "Can you track her now? You think you got her scent?" Stiles asks.

"Maybe. But I'm better at this when I'm a full wolf and I'm still worried that if I do it. I won't be able to turn back." Scott states.

"I could track her as well by the way. Same species here." Miah says holding her hand up in a duh motion.

"The door's still open." Stiles sighs, "If I can't get to Derek. We're gonna have to find someone else to help." Scott states before looking beside him at his best friend.

"This is basically a crime scene, right? I think it might be a little out of my boss's league." Scott states, "And more in my dad's." Stiles says nodding.

As the indistinct conversation is heard all around the teenagers seeing the deputies, alongside Sheriff Stilinski checking out the den Stiles, Scott and Miah found.

Stilinski comes out of the den holding a teddy bear seeing the three teenagers waiting for possible answers at the bottom of the cliff, "You're sure it was her?" Stilinski asks looking at Miah and Scott.

Miah nods before looking at Scott beside her, "I looked her right in the eyes and they glowed. Just like mine." Scott explains, "It makes sense, Dad." Stiles says.

"But it wasn't a girl. It was a four-legged coyote, right?" Stilinski asks, "Well. Okay, but yeah. Se, that's the point that we don't exactly have figured out yet." Stiles says.

"Okay. But if it was a full moon, and she did change while her mom was driving. Then anything could have happened." Scott suggests.

"Horrible things could have happened. Ripping, shredding, tearing things." Stiles states listing possible reasons, "Which is probably what caused the accident." Scott states.

"Think about it Dad, all right? They're driving. Malia starts to change. She goes out of control. The mom crashes and everybody dies." Stiles states.

Miah looks at the two boys explaining things, "Except for Malia." Scott adds.

"She blames herself, all right? Goes off running into the woods, and eventually... becomes trapped inside the body of a coyote." Stiles explains.

"That makes sense," Stilinski states, "In a Chinese folktale!" Stilinski exclaims receiving a soft chuckle from the blonde girl.

"Miah. Boys. This is... this is insane." Stilinski says as he looks at the three teenagers.

"I need this kept quiet. The three of you? Not a word. I don't want anyone hearing about this. I especially don't want Mr Tate hearing about this." Sheriff Stilinski demands.

Miah nods agreeing with her friend's father, Miah frowns seeing Scott staring at something behind them sensing the boys anxiety, "Scott?" Stilinski asks.

"Scott." Stilinski says as Scott snaps out of whatever zone he was in, "Sorry. What did you say?" Scott asks distracted from what he just saw behind them.

A siren is heard coming from behind them, "Aw. Hell." Stilinski groans seeing Rafael McCall and Mr Tate getting out of the vehicle.

Miah gently wraps her arm around Scott's seeing him put his head down at the sight of his father, "Mr Tate." Stilinski nods as the man grabs the soft blanket out of the Sheriff's hands.

"Mr Tate?" Agent McCall asks, "It's hers." the man says softly, "All right. Wait here." Agent McCall says, "Dad." Scott says trying to capture the man's attention.

"I'll talk to you in a minute. I wouldn't mind hearing how your mom's okay with you running around in the woods this late." Agent McCall states looking at his son.

Agent McCall and Sheriff Stilinski walk towards the coyote den leaving the teenagers behind to get ready to head home for the night and rest.

Not knowing Malia in her were-coyote form is standing at the lookout growling at the bright town centres lights.

✹

THE NEXT morning Miah walks into the high school beside Lydia after Scott dropped her home last night the two Martin girls spent the night together wanting to catch up with one another.

Miah smiles seeing Scott waiting for her at her locker, "Morning Mi." Scott says.

"Morning Scotty." Miah says smiling at him before the two of them walk into Mr Yukimura's class ready for the lesson to begin.

"Here's where we found the den. It's right in the middle of the hiking trails." Stiles explains as Allison stands beside Miah.

"Well, that could narrow it down. Coyotes travel in fixed trails, but, I think you're right about her not going back to the den. Coyotes aren't like wolves. And they're really smart. If they don't want to be heard, they actually walk on their toes." Allison explains.

Miah smirks seeing Stiles's shocked face, "Coyotes tip-toe? Wait Miah, you tiptoe?" Stiles asks.

Miah shrugs nodding softly laughing at the shocked boy seeing Allison smiling at her.

"They tip-toe." Allison confirms hugging Miah before looking at the two boys.

"I gotta go. But send me the pinned location." Allison states as the bell rings for the lessons to be begin.

Miah watches as the brunette huntress rushes out of the classroom, "Okay." Stiles nods.

Miah walks towards her seat seeing Kira already smiling at her, "Hey. I'm Kira," Kira says stepping in front of Scott before he sits down.

"You knew that. I knew you knew that. I don't know why I just told you that again," Kira says anxiously.

Miah looks at the two of them with a sinking feeling in her stomach, "Anyway. I have something for you and Miah." Kira states, "For us?" Scott asks looking at the blonde girl at her desk.

"Yeah. About the bardo. My explanation was kind of all over the place. So I did some research and I printed it out for you guys." Kira says looking through her bag shocking Miah and Scott.

"Aw. You didn't have to do that." Miah says, "It only took a couple of hours." Kira shrugs shocking Miah and Scott.

"Wow. Then you really didn't have to do that." Scott says smiling, "I swear, I printed it out." Kira mutters searching through her bag for the information.

"Kira?" Mr Yukimura calls out coming behind his daughter handing her the pages she printed out last night for Miah and Scott.

"You forgot all the research you did for that girl you like." Mr Yukimura states.

Kira looks at him in horror seeing Scott looking at Miah already knowing Kira finds her attractive.

Kira turns around seeing Scott looking at her in shock and Miah smiling at her, "Thanks K. Talk later?" Miah asks winking at the flustered girl who nods sitting at her desk.

Scott whispers something under his breath before sitting at his desk ready for the lesson Mr Yukimura just started.

Scott looks at Stiles up the front of the class seeing him zoning in and out exhaling deeply.

Before looking at Miah who nods at him to check on Stiles immediately.

"Stiles? You okay?" Scott asks, Miah stands up as well wanting to make sure her friend's okay.

Miah rushes towards the desk behind Scott seeing Stiles holding onto the desk tightly scared he'll fall.

"We should take him to the nurse's office." Scott says looking at Mr Yukimura who nods seeing Miah wrapping Stiles's arm around her neck walking him out of the classroom towards the locker room.

Stiles pushes the door open panicked, "Stiles? Look at me, man. Is this a panic attack?" Scott asks holding Miah's hand.

Stiles falls towards the sinks rambling to himself.

"It's a dream. It's a dream. It's just a dream." Stiles repeats, "No. It's not. This is real. You're here. You're here with Miah and I." Scott states.

"Okay, what do you do? I mean, like, how do you tell if you're awake or dreaming?" Scott asks seeing his best friend panicking more and more.

"Your fingers. You count your fingers. You have extra fingers in dreams." Stiles states, "How many do I have?" Scott asks as Stiles refuses to look at him.

"Hey, look at me. Come on, Stiles. Look at my hands and count with me." Scott demands softly holding his fingers in the air towards Stiles who's panting.

"One. Two" Stiles says, "Keep going." Miah encourages, "Three. Four." Stiles continues counting.

"Five." Scott says softly, "Six. Seven." Stiles says, "Eight." Scott says.

"Nine. Ten." Stiles says, "Ten. Ten." Scott nods making Stiles calm his breathing down as he leans against the wall underneath the sinks, "What the hell is happening to me?" Stiles weakly asks.

"We'll figure it out. You're going to be okay." Scott states, Miah comes towards the two best friends leaning into Scott's side, "Am I? Are you?" Stiles skeptically asks looking at Scott.

"Scott, you can't transform. Allison's being haunted by her dead aunt and I'm straight up losing my mind," Stiles states.

"We can't do this. We can't..we can't help Malia. We can't help anyone." Stiles says.

"We can try. We can always try." Scott nods sitting down on the floor as Miah stands above him.

Miah looks up hearing the bell ring signalling class is over, although the blonde mage hybrid frowns hearing Kira shriek in the nearby locker room.

Miah doesn't hesitate in rushing towards her new friend seeing Malia in her were-coyote form trying to attack the Yukimura girl.

Scott steps beside Miah pushing the lockers over the coyote saving Kira from being Malia's next meal before looking at the doorway seeing the bags lying there slightly torn.

Scott frowns seeing the doll from the car wreck in Stiles's bag, "You okay K?" Miah asks seeing Kira shaking.

"Yeah." Kira nods shakily handing the blonde girl her bag from class earlier along with Stiles and Scott's bags as well.

"Thank you." Miah nods as Sheriff Stilinski comes into the high school being called due to the attack.

Mr Yukimura comes rushing into the locker room hearing that his daughter was attacked, "Dad. Seriously, I'm okay." Kira states.

"Why were you not headed to lunch like everyone else?" Mr Yukimura asks.

"They left their bags. I was just trying to do something nice. You do something nice and you make friends. Or, so I've heard." Kira states.

Miah leans against Scott tiredly, "Scott, Miah... I think I know what she was looking for." Stiles states them the doll.

"You took the doll from the car?" Scott exasperatedly asks tilting his head, "Yeah. I thought you could use it. You know... for like, her scent." Stiles shrugs.

Mr Tate comes into the locker room, "Where did you get that? Where did you find this? It belonged to my daughter." Mr Tate says looking down at the doll.

"Sorry boys. Mr Tate, I don't know how you heard about this. If you have your own police scanner or what. But you can't be here." Stilinski states going to escort the man out only to feel the weapon on the side of his torso underneath his jacket.

"I have a permit." Mr Tate states, "California schools are gun-free zones. Permit or no permit. You need to leave Mr Tate, now." Stilinski states.

"You find that animal. You find that thing." Mr Tate demands before walking out of the locker room leaving the school.

Isaac, Miah, Scott, Stiles all decide to go to Deaton to ask for help, "Xylazine. It's a tranquilizer for horses. For a were-coyote, expect it to work within seconds." Deaton explains.

Scott nods at everyone getting a message from Allison stating she got the weapon, "I only have three. So, whoever's shooting needs to be a damn good shot." Deaton states.

"Allison's a perfect shot." Scott says, "She used to be." Isaac states standing beside Miah, "She can do it." Scott states confidently.

"If we manage to find the thing." Isaac shrugs, "Okay. What is the point of him?" Stiles asks pointing at Isaac.

"Seriously. I mean, what is his purpose? Aside from the persistent negativity and the scarf? What's up with the scarf, anyway? It's sixty-five degrees out." Stiles states.

"He is a good kisser." Miah shrugs getting shocked looks from Scott and Stiles and a smirk from Isaac.

"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 in eight years?" Isaac asks getting back to the subject and not the compliment the blonde girl just gave him.

"I can do it." Scott states, "You can?" Stiles asks, "You remember the night that Peter trapped us in the school? In the gym, he was able to make me turn using just his voice. Deucalion did the same thing in the distillery." Scott explains.

Miah bites her lip, "This is a were-coyote, Scott. Who knows if it'll even work? If you can find someone who can teach you?" Deaton says.

Miah hums out loud, "Uh. Scott makes me flash my eyes at him when he flashes his red ones?" Miah asks confused.

Deaton looks in between the teenagers, "That's because you're both sexually attracted to one another and want to mate with each other." Deaton explains.

Miah looks at the veterinarian shocked, as does Scott before they both clear their throats, "That's why you called Derek first." Stiles states.

"Yeah. I could try it on my own. But, right now, I'm too scared to even change into just a werewolf." Scott says, "We need a real alpha." Stiles says.

Scott looks at him slightly offended, "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..." Stiles rambles.

"Up?" Isaac asks finishing Stiles little ramble, "Great. I'm an alpha with performance issues." Scott sighs as Miah smirks.

"Is there anyone else besides Derek who could help?" Deaton asks, "I wouldn't trust Peter." Isaac states, "Maybe the twins?" Stiles suggests.

"They're not alpha's anymore. After what Jennifer did. Almost killing them? It broke that part of them." Deaton explains, "Yeah. But what if they know how to do it?" Stiles asks.

"Nobody's seen them for weeks." Scott mumbles, "Actually. That's
not totally true" Stiles states already looking at Miah who groans getting her phone out of her pocket calling Lydia knowing the strawberry blonde has still been seeing Aiden whenever she's able too.

Lydia organised for the twins to meet Scott and the others at Derek's loft, Stiles opens the lofts sliding door.

Lydia walks inside confused not seeing the twins anywhere in the loft as a punch to Scott's face is delivered shocking the teens.

Miah flinches and silently whimpers watching Scott be beaten and unable to turn into a wolf.

Lydia notices the fear in Miah's eyes and stands beside her comforting her cousin knowing she doesn't like when her loved ones are injured.

Miah gasps seeing Scott facing stomach down on the floor spitting out blood.

"I can't watch this. I'm sorry. I'll be downstairs." Miah says running out of the loft gasping for air once she makes it outside tearing up at the thought of Scott being injured over and over again.

Eventually the twins come down into the parking lot seeing Miah using her chaos magic in her hands distracting herself.

Followed by Stiles, Scott and Lydia who see the bright purplish-red magic surrounding Miah's hand as she uses this moment to send a ball of the aura towards the abandoned area of the car park.

"What's the plan?" Miah asks getting out the car and walking towards the others seeing the twins leave, "Tomorrow. We'll find Malia and turn her back into a human. We'll work this out." Stiles explains.

Scott watches Miah frown looking at him and his blood stained shirt.

"You two go. I'll drop Mi home." Scott suggests receiving nods from Lydia and Stiles who leave the parking lot leaving Miah and Scott alone.

"Hey Mi. I'm okay." Scott says gently taking the stressed blonde girls hand who looks at him shaking her head.

"That wasn't okay." Miah states motioning upstairs to what just happened with the twins beating Scott.

"Mi. That was apart of the plan. I'm okay. Look at me please, gorgeous." Scott says holding Miah's chin as she looks at him already staring into her eyes smiling at her and embracing her in a hug.

"So, you and Isaac kissed?" Scott asks while Miah gets on the back of his motorcycle ready for a good nights sleep.

"Yeah a few weeks ago. Although we're better as friends. I have someone else in mind." Miah explains smiling at Scott who nods starting the engine of the motorbike and dropping Miah home seeing Lydia waiting for her on the front porch.

"Thanks for the ride Scotty." Miah says kissing his cheek and walking into the house leaving Scott outside watching Miah's departing figure in pure adoration.

✹

SCOTT COMES by Miah and Lydia's house early in the morning to pick the blonde mage hybrid up to get ready for the plan.

Miah and Scott pull up beside Stiles's blue jeep waving at him, "Anyone else think we night be doing more harm than good?" Lydia asks standing beside her cousin.

"We're trying to keep a father from killing his own daughter." Scott states.

"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 states getting an irritated glare from Miah.

"Again with the not helping." Stiles states annoyed, Scott looks behind him seeing Allison staring back at him, "Did you bring it?" Scott asks.

Allison gets the tranquilliser gun from her vehicle nodding at the others ready for the plan.

Everyone stands around going over the plan one more time and who's going with who.

Miah and Scott will go on his motorcycle into the tracks.

Allison and Isaac will get the tranquilliser dart ready, and Lydia and Stiles will stand by one another.

Miah flinches when a gunshot is heard in the distance, leaving everyone shocked.

Miah jumps onto the back of Scott's bike along with him and the two begin riding down the tracks searching for Malia, as a agonising scream is heard coming from inside the preserve.

Scott groans holding onto his head but loses control of the bike leading himself and Miah to tumble over the bike onto the dirt.

Miah groans feeling Scott holding onto her so she doesn't take most of the fall, "Scott, are you okay?" Miah asks seeing him laying flatly underneath her.

Scott grunts but nods silently telling the blonde girl his okay as the girl gets up looking around she nods in the direction of Malia.

Miah flashes her eyes at Scott and he nods getting a head start knowing Miah will catch up with him at any moment as he looks to his side he sees a coyote running past him.

Miah in her coyote form comes to stop beside the true alpha boy whining at him and head butting his leg gently.

His eyes flash seeing Scott nod to himself psyching himself up enough to transform properly.

Scott growls and continues running after Malia seeing Miah stop behind him and transform back into her human form behind a tree.

Miah looks around proudly seeing Scott fought off his worries and is now able to turn into his werewolf side.

"Yes. You did it Scotty." Miah whispers as he jumps across the section of the woods landing in front of the car wreck seeing Malia in her coyote form snarling at him ready to attack.

"Howl. Come on. Howl Scott." Miah urges knowing he'll do if he needs too.

Miah smiles not even ten seconds later as Scott unleashes a massive alpha howl alerting his pack of his transformation.

"That's what I'm freakin' talking about yes!" Miah says happily as her eyes glow bright blue.

Scott looks at the coyote that is now a brunette looking at him with confusion.

"Mal? Hey." Miah says gently walking towards the naked girl handing her a pair of shorts and a T-shirt.

"Miah?" Malia asks shocked at seeing her childhood friend standing before her.

Miah smiles and helps Malia off the ground and walks her back towards the area where Sheriff Stilinski and the others are waiting for them.

Miah smiles happily at Scott, "You did it." Miah exclaims throwing her arms around the true alpha happily, "I did it. Thanks Mi." Scott says hugging her back.

Stiles goes with his father and Malia to reunite her with her father.

Allison, Lydia and Isaac all head back into town together.

Miah smiles leaning her head on Scott's back as he drives them into town towards his house for the annual movie night together.

"What movie tonight?" Scott asks taking his jacket off and putting it on his bedside chair.

"I don't mind. To be honest I'll probably pass out." Miah shrugs softly smiling at the true alpha who looks at the mage hybrid again with so much love and adoration.

"So... about what Deaton said. Do you think it's true?" Scott asks curiously.

Miah looks at him, "Does this answer your question?" Miah asks which confuses Scott but as soon as he feels the girls lips upon his he sighs into the kiss and kisses the blonde back passionately.

"Yes. That answers it for me." Scott chuckles hearing Miah laugh putting her head on the boys chest and starting the movie in the background.

They both agreed on the movie Tangled, since they're both so tired they lay together in one another's arms not even ten minutes into the movie passed out in each other's arms.

Unaware of the dangers being released at the Nemeton and the many hauntings that are going to happen in the upcoming weeks.
