Chapter Forty-Two
🦊 Riddled 🦊

Stiles laid on the cement ground in a basement as he shined the light from his phone onto his foot. Blood coated his foot which was in between the steel jaw traps of a bear trap. A man, covered head to toe in bandages with sharp metal teeth, wearing pants and an old military jacket slowly stepped out into view.

Suddenly everything started spinning and one it got clear, Stiles was laying on the ground of Malia's old coyote den.

Wren suddenly woke up to the sound of her phone ringing. She furrowed her brows slightly, knowing her dream was important but she had already forgotten what it was. She sighed softly before grabbing her phone off her night stand. She squinted her eyes at the brightness and the first thing she saw was the time before seeing it was Stiles calling her making her instantly answer.

"Hey." Wren said groggily but worried, people in the town of Beacon Hill don't just call in the middle of the night for nothing. Stiles did say anything makinf her furrow her brows, "Stiles?" She asked worriedly and all she got back was the sound of heavy breathing.

"Stiles? You there?" Wren asked and this time she got an answer, "Wren?" Stiles said in a whisper making her worry grow. "Hey, I'm here... Are you okay? Can you hear me?" She asked as she sat up. "Wren, I don't know where I am... I don't know how I got here... I think I was sleepwalking..." Stiles whispered, the fear in his voice didn't made her any less worried or nervous, "Okay, can you see anything? Just tell me what you see?" She asked.

"Uh, it's dark. It's hard to see. I think there's something wrong with me-" Stiles says but then the call disconnects making Wren look down at her phone worriedly as she stood up. She quickly called him back but got his voicemail making her sigh. She tried it again but got voicemail again, "Come on. Come on, Stiles." She muttered anxiously as she started to pace back and forth.

Her phone started to ring with a call from Stiles making her instantly pick up, "Stiles?" She asked worriedly. "Wren, I don't think I can get out of here. I can't move." Stiles said breathlessly, "Where are you?" Wren asked. "I don't know. I don't know. It's too dark. I can't see much, and something's wrong with my leg. It's stuck on something, and it's... I think it's bleeding..." He whispered as she ran a hand through her hair.

"How bad? Stiles, how bad is it?" Wren asked worriedly buy got no response making her run a hand though her hair, "Stiles, are you there? Can you hear me?" She asked. "Ah, there's some kind of smell down here. Something smells terrible. It's brutal. My eyes are watering." Stiles said, still breathing heavily.

"Okay, okay, listen. Try to stay calm, I'm gonna call your dad-" Wren said but Stiles cut her off, "No, no, no, no, dont-" Stiles almost begged making Odette furrow her brows. "But your dad-"

"Don't. Just please, don't call him. Promise you won't. He already worries about me too much. Wren, please-" Stiles begged and she let out a shaky breath, "What if I can't find you? Stiles, I can't make a promise like that-" Wren said but he cut her off again.

"No, no, no, just please... Please, don't call him. Come find me. You can do it. He doesn't have to know. Wren, you can find me." Stiles said and Wren's heart sank as she could hear him crying. "Stiles- I can't promise that. I- I promise I'll try everything I can but I-"

"Wren, I gotta call you back. I have to turn the phone off." Stiles said making her eyes widen, "What? No, hey, wait-"

"I'm gonna call you back-"

"Hold on, Stiles, wait! Hold on-" Wren said but he hung up. Instantly, Wren ran over to her closet to change quickly before grabbing her keys and running out to her car.

At the sound of rapid banging on the front door, Scott and Isaac ran down the stairs before throwing open the door to see a panicked Wren standing there. "Wren? What's-" Isaac started to say but she cut him off, "It's Stiles. Something wrong." She said making their eyes widen.

"What happened?" Scott asked worriedly and she bit her lip slightly and shook her head. "I don't know." She said, they noticed the fearful look on her face before nodding and running back to their room. Once the guys dressed, they ran down the stairs but stopped when Wren's phone rang.

"Stiles?" She asked after she instantly answered, "Did you call him? Did you call my dad?" Stiles asked making her sigh. "No, just Scott and Isaac. We're coming to find you. Can you figure out where you are? Try to find something and tell us where to look." She said as she glanced up at Scott and Isaac who was listening.

"It's a basement... I think-I think I'm in some kind of basement..." Stiles said still breathing heavily, "In a house?" Wren asked. "No, it looks bigger- like, industrial. I think there's a furnace. But it's cold. It's freezing down here. I gotta turn the-I gotta turn the phone off, Wren, It's going to die." Stiles said making her eyes widen.

"Wait, wait, wait! What else is there? What do you see?" Wren said trying to get more clues as to where he could be. "The phone's dying. I can't talk. I have to go. Please..." Stiles whispered shakily and she furrowed her brows. "Stiles... Why are you whispering?" Wren asked worriedly.

"Because I think there's someone in here with me..." Stiles whispered making Wren look up at Scott and Isaac wide eyed.

Wren, Scott and Isaac ran into Stiles's bedroom to see Lydia and Aiden standing there. "How did you know? Did he call you, too?" Wren asked and Lydia shook her head, "I heard it." Lydia said. And while Wren seem to understand, Scott and Isaac looked confused making Aiden speak up, "Don't ask- it gets more confusing when you ask." He said and Lydia sighed.

"Not as confusing as this." She said and they moved over to show Stiles's bed. Wren took a step forward looking at the red yarn tied to a pair of scissors that had been stabbed into the bed. Each sting connected to a picture on the walls. "He uses red for unsolved cases." Wren said, looking back at everyone.

"Maybe he thinks he's part of an unsolved case?" Aiden suggested, "Or is an unsolved case?" Isaac said as he glanced around.

"Hold on- is he still out there? You don't know where he is?" Lydia asked making Wren, Scott and Isaac glance at each other. "He said that he was in an industrial basement somewhere." Scott said and Isaac nodded, "We came here to get a better scent."

"What else did he say?" Lydia asked and they looked over at Wren who sighed, "There's something's wrong with his leg- it's bleeding and he's freezing." She said as she glanced around before noticing something on his nightstand. "Tonight's the coldest night of the year. It's going to drop into the twenties." Aiden said as Wren picked up a picture of her, Scott and Stiles from the fourth grade.

"What did his dad say?" Lydia asked making them glance at each other again, "We kind of... We didn't tell him yet." Scott said making Lydia's eyes widen. "Stiles is bleeding and freezing and you didn't call his dad?" She asked incredulously.

"He made Wren promise not too." Scott said making Wren looked over at him, "I promised I would try everything I could before telling him." She said and Scott sighed. "We can find him by scent. If he was sleepwalking, he couldn't have gotten far, right?" Scott said and Wren sighed.

"You didn't notice that his jeep is gone did you?" She asked and he sighed and looked down, "Scott look, there's only so much we can do. We have to tell his dad, even if it means Stiles will be mad at us." Wren said and Lydia started to pull out her phone. "Wait, guys! Hold on- I can get more help. I can call Derek, Allison-"

"Everyone except for the cops. Great idea!" Lydia said, "You guys remember she only get these feelings when someone's about to die, right?" Aiden said and Wren nodded in agreement making Scott sigh. "Lyds, you don't have to call Stilinski." Wren said making Lydia look at her, "Why not?"

"Because the stations only five minutes away. It would be better to tell him in person." Wren said and they all nodded. Scott, Isaac, Wren and Aiden went to leave but Lydia grabbed Aiden's arm, "We'll catch up." She said making Wren furrow her brows, "What? Why?"

"There's something here..." Lydia said and Isaac nodded, "Yeah, evidence of total insanity." Isaac said and then hissed in pain when Wren pinched his arm. "We can figure out what's wrong with him after we find a way to keep him from freezing to death." Scott said and Lydia nodded.

"Go. We'll be right behind you." She said and Scott, Isaac and Wren nodded before walking out.

Stilinski took a couple deep, looking like he was a second from breaking down after Wren, Scott and Isaac explained everything to him. "If his Jeep is gone, that's where we start. Parrish, let's get an APB out on a blue 1980 CJ-5 Jeep." Jeep." Stilinski said to the deputy sitting at the desk. When Wren looked at Parrish she saw flashes of him on fire with glowing orange eyes but as soon as Stilinski started talking again, the flashes stopped.

"Cordova, I want a list of any kind of industrial basement or sub-level of any building that he could've gotten into while sleepwalking. It's the coldest night of the year so far... So, if he's out their barefoot in just a t-shirt, he could already be hypothermic. Let's move fast. Let's think fast. Three of you come with me." Stilinski said and lead the three teenagers into his office.

"Okay... Is there anything you need to tell me that I can't tell anybody out there?" Stilinski asked and Scott nodded slightly, "Lydia knew he was missing." He said. "Can she help find him?" Stilinski asked and Wren sighed, "She's working on it."

"Anything else?" Stilinski asked looked over at her, "Scott called Derek and I called Allison and Argent for help." Wren said and he sighed. "Can-can you find him by scent?" Stilinski asked but before anyone could answer Parrish knocked on the door and opened it. "We got it, sir. We found the Jeep."

🦊

They pulled into the hospital parking lot before jumping out if their cars and running over to Stiles' jeep. "It's dead. He must have left the lights on." Stilinski sighed, "Why would he come here?" Scott asked.

"Lets find out." Stilinski said and they ran into the hospital. Stilinski went to Melissa while Scott, Wren and Issac went to the roof where they knew Derek was. "He's not here. Not anymore." Derek said. "You mean, the whole building?" Wren asked and Derek nodded, "Gone."

"I'll go tell Stilinski." Isaac said and Wren nodded before walking up to Derek. "Notice how strong the scent is up here?" Derek asked when Scott came up to them, "Ever hear of chemo-signals? Chemical signals that communicate emotion. And just our sweat can give off anger, fear, or disgust. Take a deep breath and tell me what you feel." He said and Scott closed his eyes, "Stress."

"And anxiety..." Wren said making them look a her, "How did you know?" Derek asked and Wren glanced at them. "I don't know, I just- I can feel an energy and something's telling me its anxiety." She said and Scott sighed.."What was he doing up here?" Scott asked and Derek shook his head, "I don't know... But there was definitely some kind of struggle."

"With who?"

"Himself." Derek said as he glanced around. Wren was about to say something but her phone rang making her look down to see her sister calling her.

"Lydia called, she says she knows where Stiles is." Wren said as she and Scott ran up to Stilinski, "Then let's go." Stilinski said, they started to leave but stopped when they noticed Wren not following them. "Wren?" Scott asked and Wren shook her head slightly, "You guys go a head. I have a weird feeling." She said. "Are you sure?" Stilinski asked and she nodded, "Yeah, go." She said.

After a little while of Wren just leaning back against the reception desk, Melissa walked up to her and gently placed her hand on Wren's shoulder. "You didn't go with them?" Melissa asked making Wren look over at her and shake her head, "No, it didn't feel right." She said and Melissa nodded. 

"Wanna come down to the station with me?" Melissa asked making Wren look at her confused, "Why do you want to go to the station?" She asked and Melissa just shrugged. "I want to see of there's anything I can help with." She said and Wren sighed and looked at the doors before nodding, "Yeah, I'll come with you." 

A little while later they walked into the station and over to the front desk, "Hi, I'm Melissa McCall. I was hoping to see Agent McCall." Melissa said and Wren groaned slightly. "You didn't tell me we were meeting him." Wren said and Melissa just gave her a look as Agent McCall walked up to them. 

"What are you doing here?" He asked he asked and Melissa sighed slightly, "My shift was over. I just wanted to see if I could help and Wren came with me." Melissa said and Agent McCall looked over at Wren shocked. "You didn't go with Stilinski?" He asked and Wren sighed and shook her head. 

"No, something feels off to me." Wren said and Agent McCall nodded slightly, "Well, let's go because I have an idea on where he might be." Agent McCall said before walking out. Melissa and Wren glanced at each other before shrugging slightly and following him. 

"So, what are you saying?" Melissa asked after they've been on the road for a little while. "I'm saying, the real question might be... How do we know he's not still asleep?" Agent McCall said making Wren lean forward in between the two front seats. "You mean, he's been asleep the whole time? Even when we were on the phone?" Wren asked with her eyebrows raised and he nodded. 

"Well, people who sleepwalk can do crazy things. One guys goes down and cooks an entire meal, another guy is found mowing his lawn naked..." He explained, "Why's any of that matter?" Melissa asked and he glanced over at her. "Remember that townhouse apartment we lived in? There was that one night, I came home drunk-"

"Oh, one night?" Melissa interrupted while scoffing and Wren made a oooing sound. "Let me finish! So, I'm drunk, passed out on the bed. I get up to go to the bathroom. Then, all of a sudden, I hear you yelling, What the hell are you doing?" He asked and Melissa nodded, "Because you were in the closet, peeing into the laundry basket!"

"Yeah, I thought it was the bathroom."

"Oh no, you were drunk off your ass."

"Yeah, but I was convinced it was the bathroom." McCall said and Wren raised her eyebrows slightly, "That's just embarrassing..." She mumbled. "So, how do we know Stiles isn't just convinced he's in some kind of basement, and isn't actually there? I think when he called Wren, he was still asleep... And is still asleep right now." He said and Wren looked over him, "Then where is he?" She asked and he glanced at her. 

"I got an idea about that, too."

"Mind sharing?" Wren asked raising her eyebrows and he sighed, "He told you that it smells really bad to the point his eyes are watering and its freezing, right?" He asked and she nodded. "When we sprayed the animal repellent in the coyote den, I couldn't go near it because it smelt so bad it made my eyes water." He said and Wren's jaw fell open, "He's in the coyote den." She said in a slight whisper and he nodded. 

🦊

The second Agent McCall stopped the car in the woods, Wren hopped out and started running on the direction of the coyote den. "Hey, Wren! Hold on!" She heard McCall yelled behind her bit she didn't listen and kept running. "She still never listens does she?" He asked looking at Melissa who shook her head, "Not really." Melissa said before they ran after Wren. 

They managed to catch up to her right as she made it to the den. She ducked down inside and look around to see Stiles laying there twisting and turning as he muttered something, still asleep. "Stiles!" She said before quickly moving over to him as Melissa and McCall ran in.

Wren started to try to pull him out of the den but he started fighting against her and screaming. "Wait! No! WAIT!" He screamed as Melissa helped Wren pull him out, "Stiles!" Wren yelled as she wrapped her arms around him. 

"Wait!" He yelled as Wren held him close her her. "Stiles! You're okay." She said as he started to calm down, "Hey, you're alright." She said calmed and he slowly looked at her. "Wren?" He whispered and she nodded, "You're okay, Stiles." She said in a calm whisper as she gently rubbed her thumb against his cheek. 

He breathed heavily as he started to relax against her as she sighed softly. "You're okay." Wren whispered as she leaned her head against his while he tightly held onto her hands. 

🦊

Everyone looks up at the sound of footsteps to see Stilinski walking over to them making them stand up. "He's sleeping now... And he's just fine." He said making them all sigh in relief, "He doesn't remember much. It's a bit like a dream to him." He said then looked over at Agent McCall.

"Thank you." He said and McCall shrugged, "It was that repellent we sprayed in the coyote den to keep other animals out. I couldn't go near it without my eyes watering. it just a good thing he mentioned it over the phone." McCall said as if it was nothing.

"No, it was more than that. Thank you."

"It was a lucky connection."

"McCall, can you shut up please and accept my sincerest gratitude?"

"Accepted." McCall said and they shook hands as Melissa turned to the teenagers, "All right, you three. You've got school in less than six hours. Go home. Go to sleep." Melissa said and they nodded, "Okay." Scott said as Melissa hugged him before they started walking away.

"I don't know what happened. I was so sure..." Lydia said and Scott sighed, "Yeah, I wasn't much help, either. Doesn't matter, he's okay." Scott said and all of the sudden there was a fast metal clanking sound making Wren and Lydia looked back confused. "Guys? Do you hear something?" Scott asked and the Martin sister shook their heads.

"No. I didn't hear anything."

"You're right. It's Japanese. Who left this on your phone?" Mr. Yukimura said as he listened to a voicemail on Allison's phone with Allison, Isaac and Wren standing in front of him. "I don't know... All of the messages are the same, and they all say Blocked ID." Allison said and Wren raised her
