Wren's outfit:

Chapter Forty-Eight
🦊 The Devine Move 🦊

"Stiles and Kira said it was the Nemeton that kept it trapped." Scott said as he, Lydia, Wren and Deaton walked into the clinic. "The problem is, this isn't even a person you're fighting- it just looks like one. It's a spirit that's taken the shape of a human." Deaton said and Scott nodded slightly, "The shape of my best friend."

"Someone caught it once. Someone can do it again, right?" Wren asked and Deaton sighed, "I don't know... This thing was trapped a long time ago, before the Nemeton was cut down. It doesn't have the same power anymore."

"Is there anything that does?"

"Possibly...When the tree was whole, its wood was sometimes used to contain powerful objects. But those objects are very rare." Deaton explained making realization cross over Lydia's features. "Powerful objects? Like an Alpha's claws?" Lydia asked making Deaton look over at her, "Which Alpha?"

"Talia Hale.nPeter has them in a wooden box with a triskele carved on the lid. What if it was made from the Nemeton?" She asked and Deato nodded, "It was." He said.
"How do you know?" Scott asked and Deaton look over at him, "Because I made it." Deaton said.

"Derek's got the triskele box. He's gonna meet us." Wren said after getting off the phone with Derek. Suddenly Lydia started to sway and fall back making Scott and Wren instantly reach out to grab her "What's wrong?"

"Something happening. I had this sudden rushing feeling, like we're running out of time." She said, "Yeah." Stiles said making them all turn to see a Kira and a very pale Stiles with dark circles around his eyes. "Yeah, I kind of got that feeling too."

"Scott, hold on-" Stiles said as they ran up to the doors of the school making them all turn to him, he had his arm around Wren's shoulders as she helped him stay up. " I know what you're all thinking- if this works, it might kill me, too. But even if it does, you have to go through with it. Stick with the plan, okay?" Stiles said and Scott shook his head. "The plan is to save you that's the plan i'm going with."

He opened the doors to reveal a snow covered Japanese garden, "What the hell is this?" Wren muttered as they all slowly walked in looking around. The sound of the door closing behind them made them turn to look at it before looking at each other, "Oh, this is definitely not part of the plan..."

At the sound of footsteps they all turned to see a man covered head to toe in dirty bandages, silver sharp teeth and an old leather military jacket. He slowly turns to them then starts walking towards them, "Like I promised, Stiles... We're going to kill all of them, one by one."

Suddenly an Oni appeared in front of Kira and swung it's sword at her but she quickly blocked it with her own. Eventually, four others showed up, boxing the group in the middle. "What the hell is this? Where are we?" Scott asked.

"Between life and death." The Nogitsune said making Wren suck in a deep breath, "Bardo." She said. "But, there are no peaceful deities here, Uranaishi." He said shaking a finger at them, "You're dying, Stiles... And now, everyone you care about is dying, too."

"What? What do you mean?"

"I've captured almost all of the territories on the board, Stiles- the hospital, the sheriff's station, and now the animal clinic." The Nogitsune said making Scott's eyes widen. "Do you know the ritual of seppuku, Stiles?" The Nogitsune said and Stiles shook his head, "No... And I don't want to."

"When a samurai disembowels himself with his own sword to maintain his honor. But that's not the cut that kills him- the killing stroke is made by his kaishakunin, who beheads the samurai with his own katana. Scott... Scott is your kaishakunin. I'm going to make your best friend kill you, Stiles. And you're going to let him... Because, just like you, they're all going to die. Everyone touched by an Oni's blade... Unless Scott kills you, first." He said, now face to face with Stiles.

"Why? Why are you doing this?"

"To win the game." The Nogitsune whispered and then suddenly the Oni started spinning around their swords, preparing to attack making Scott wolf out and Kira hold up her katana while Wren pulled Lydia and Stiles back, keeping a tight hold in Stiles.

They watched as Scott and Kira tried to fight off the Oni and the longer they were in bardo the more Wren felt like something bad was going to happen. "How is this happening? How are we in this place?" Scott yelled as he and Kira went back to back, "You're asking me? A month ago, I'd never even touched a sword! " Kira yelled.

Suddenly one of the Oni made Kira lose her katana and was now cornered by two of them. Stiles suddenly pulled away from Wren and grabbed Kira katana. "Stiles?" Wren asked worriedly and then he slowly brought the katana up to his stomach making Wren's eyes widen. "Stiles!" She yelled making Scott look over.n"Stiles! No!" He said and Stiles looked up at them. "What if it saves you? What if it saves all of you?"

"What if it's just another trick?" Wren asked fearly. "No more tricks, Wren. End it, Scott. Let your friend fall on his own sword. Do for him what he cannot do for himself. Do it, Scott- be his  kaishakunin. Give up the game. You have no moves left." The Nogitsune said but Stiles noticed something on the reflection of the katana.

He looked off to the side then tossed Kira her sword, looking over at the Nogitsune, "I do. A divine move. Stop fighting them! It's an illusion! You have to stop fighting them. It looks real and it feels real, but Scott, you gotta trust me- it's an illusion."

Scott and Kira slowly started making their way to the door, grunting and crying out as the Oni's sliced them with their swords. Then suddenly they were back in the halls of Beacon Hills High. No cuts, no blood, nothing, as if it never happened.

"We're okay. We're-" Scott said but was suddenly cut off by getting thrown into the lockers making them all turn around to see Void, punch Kira. Wren quickly wrapped her arm around Stiles and grabbed her sister's hand as Void looked up at them. "This was my game. You think you can beat me at my game?" He asked, walking towards them making them gently start to walk back.

"Divine move... Divine move? You think you have any moves at all? You can kill the Oni, but me? Me? I'm a thousand years old, you can't kill me!" He yelled while Wren pulled Lydia and Stiles back. "But we can change you!" Lydia yelled making him stop and look at them curiously, "What?" He asked. "You forgot about the scroll." Stiles said and Wren smirked, "The Shugendo scroll."

"Change the host." Void whispered, "You can't be a fox and a wolf." Stiles said, next thing you know Scott bites down on Void's arm while digging his claw into him making Void scream. When Scott let go, Void stumbled back but then the blade of a katana goes right through him as the lights flicker.

He falls to the ground gasping until a fly, flies out of his mouth and Isaac come out of nowhere, trapping it into the Triskele Box. Void starts to convulse before cracking like stone and falling, turning into nothing but dust.

Everyone looks up right as Stiles start to sway before falling making Wren hold on to him before slowly setting him down, his head on her lap. Everyone ran over and they waited in silence for a couple minutes before Stiles wakes up making everyone breath out in relief. "Oh, God... I fainted, didn't I?" Stiles asked making them all laugh softly and nod, "We're alive? We're all alive?" He asked and Scott nodded, "Yeah. We're okay." 

Lydia slowly stood up looking in the distance with a distant look making them look at her. "Lydia?" Wren asked and Lydia didn't answer her as she ran out the doors of the school with everyone else following behind her. She froze at the top of the stairs seeing Aiden in his crying brother's arms making her gasp quietly as tears welled up in her eyes. 

She let out a shaky breath before spinning around and burrowing her face into Wren's shoulder as Wren instantly wrapped her arms around her sister.

Wren walked into her room to see Isaac sitting on the ground, leaning against the bed. "Penny for your thoughts?" Wren asked as she sat down next to him and he just shrugged slightly, "Just thinking." He said and she grabbed his hand. "About?" She asked and he sighed, "Everything, Boyd, Erica, Allison, Aiden... What life would be like right now if I didn't take the bite." He said and she sighed softly while resting her chin on his shoulder.

"If you didn't take the bite then you'd probably be in foster home and you wouldn't have met any of us... and you wouldnt be fighting for your life every day." She said and he smiled at her, "Well, I definitely don't regret meeting you." He said she smiled softly at him before thinking for a moment.

"What?" He asked and she sighed, "Argent is moving to France in a few days. Maybe you should go with him." She said and he raised his eyebrows. "Move to france?" He asked and she nodded, "Yeah, you know... Move away from the supernatural drama and death." She said. "What about you? I don't want to leave you." He said and she smiled softly at him, "I'll definitely miss you, but I'll be fine. I got my sister and our friends." She said before shrugging slightly.

"Plus, something tells me that if I want it figure out what I am I have to stay here." She said and he sighed softly, "Are you sure?" He asked and she nodded. "You of all people deserve a happy life where you're not physically fighting for it every day." She said and he started at her for a moment before leaning in and kissing her.

When they pulled away he wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her to him as she leaned her head on his chest.

"Are you sure?" Wren asked, looking at Argent shocked and he smiled sadly at her. "She'd want you to have it." He said and she looked back down, lightly running her fingers down Allison's bow.

"You know how to use it so you'll put it to good use. Other wise it would just collect dust." He said and she smiled at him, "Thank you." She said and he smiled sadly at her and nodded. They both walked out to the elevator where Isaac was waiting. 

"I better get at least one post card and a souvenir in the mail." Wren said and Isaac chuckled and nodded, "I was already planning on that." He said making her smile at him. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a hug before kissing the top of her head. They pulled away and she smiled sadly at both Isaac and Argent before walking into the elevator.

A little while later Wren walked through the woods before pulling an arrow out of a bag and nocking it onto Allison's bow. She raised the bow, pulling the sting back and aiming it. She paused for a moment before taking a deep breath, letting the sting go.

She watched at the arrow hit the middle of the tree making her smile and chuckle to herself. Slowly her smile fell slightly as a couple tears fell down her face. Her smile fully fell as she sunk down to her knees, letting the tears flow freely as she looked down at the bow.

"I wish I could say something to him. I wish I could say something to all of them. but I don't know how much space or how much time I'm supposed to give them... And I know I'm still just the new girl at school." Kira said and Wren sighed, wrapping her arm over Kira's shoulders making Kira instantly wrap her arm around Wren's waist while Lydia put stuff in her locker.

Wren was about to say something but the sound of Coach's voice made her look over. "You ever run track? I mean, you have excellent muscle definition..." Coach said as Malia followed him down the stairs, "Not anymore." Wren said in a slightly whisper.

"I sometimes ran from cougars trying to eat me." Malia said and Coach nodded, "I've had the same problem. So, listen, we're gonna start off slow. you know, a few classes here and there. Don't worry- you'll learn fast." Coach said as they started passing the three girls, "I intend to." Malia said as she looked over at them, her eyes connecting with Wren as she gave them a small smile making Wren smile back at her.
