Never Again (Teen Wolf/ Maze Runner)

It's Time...

I was woken up by a crash from the next room over. Newt and I hurried over there only to find Minho standing on the bed and Aris with a book in his hand. "What is going on?" I yelled and the sheriff came running in gasping for air. "I saw a bug!" Minho yelled pointing to where Aris was standing. "It could fly and I was not a fan." Aris rolled his eyes at the boy and kept looking around the room for it. "Why was there a crash?" The Sheriff asked, " I thought something bad had happened!" He yelled looking at the four of us and Minho shrugged. "Sorry, I just don't like bugs they are horrible!" I sighed and started looking around the room for the bug that Minho was afraid of. "Look! Thomas watch out!" Aris yelled but I didn't register the thought until after the book collided with the side of my head.

I fell straight on the ground my head hitting the floor almost as hard at the book hit my head. And there it was, like a vision. A single moment came flooding back to me.

A man, the Sheriff, sitting in a hospital bed. A boy was there too, he looked exactly like me. It had looked as if the boy had been crying. They were talking, arguing it seemed like. "Why didn't you tell me?" The boy questioned, looking at the man hurt. "Because you aren't supposed to know everything Stiles!" He spat and I could feel the pain in my chest from the Sheriff's comment. "Yes I do, I'm supposed to know everything! How the hell else am I supposed to take care of you!" He spat back at him and the Sheriff looked down then back up at Stiles. "You're not supposed to take care of me! I'm the dad you're the son! I take care of you!" He paused and Stiles sat down in the chair opposite his father. "We're supposed to take care of each other...."

My eyes bolted open, I started screaming and almost immediately the Sheriff was right by my side with Newt right on his heels. "TOMMY!" Newt screamed coming over and hugging me as I was crying. "Dad" I whispered in between sobs. "What did you say Thomas?" The Sheriff asked stepping closer. "Dad....?" I paused looking at everyone's faces. "You're my dad." I said and the Sheriff broke out into tears and he hugged me. "Oh my god Stiles" he wept and Aris elbowed Minho. "You don't have to say it Aris we get it you were right." Minho gave Aris and side smirk which made Aris laugh. "Man if only I had known that all it took was a hit on the head for Thomas to remember something as important as his father I would have hit the shank a long time ago!" Minho said and Newt smacked him on the arm. "My turn! Maybe I can remember a girlfriend or something I had before Wicked!" Minho laughed earning a disappointing look from Newt once again.

"Wicked? What's Wicked?" The Sheriff asked and we all looked at each other. "Is that where you four have been? Are they the people that took you Stiles?" I cringed at the name, he may be my dad but I still go by Thomas. "Thomas," I paused and the Sheriff looked down at his feet. "But yeah that's where we've been, not very nice people." I laughed and the Sheriff looked up at all of us with a hurt look. "Yeah not very nice more like bloody evil!" Newt yelled and turned around away from the rest of us. "That's why we need to find out if they took any more kids after Ava Paige was killed,  the creator of Wicked." He finished turning back around and we all nodded. "And I want to help." The Sheriff nodded. "Sheriff-" Aris started but he interrupted. "Please call me Noah, and helping you four is the least I can do. I have no idea what happened to you but from the looks of it. Seems like quite a bit."

We all nodded and My dad smiled. "Alright well first things first. I was telling Thomas last night that I contacted the FBI about the missing children. Two in Beacon Hills have been taken exactly a month apart, but this pattern only seems to happen here. Same age: 16 and same build." Everyone's eyes widened and they knew who this was without even having to say it, Wicked. "Also I have enlisted help in finding your families, only if you want to know who they are. I'm not sure how well it will work considering the only things we know about you are your first name's so we have to enter the data into a missing persons database. Then sort through all the missing children. But in time, we will find them." Aris smiled and leaned into Minho who was on full shock. "Wait so you're saying we can actually see our families again?" Newt asked and Noah nodded.

Newt couldn't help but smile and he hugged me so tight is became hard to breath. "What did I tell ya Newt we will find them!" I smiled but his disappeared after a short period of time. "But what about those two kids that went missing we have to try and stop them from taking more!" Newt stood up and Noah nodded. "Well they were taken around or at the high school and that's being watched around the clock since the first went missing." The Sheriff said and I could tell Newt was thinking but I knew what we had to do, it was obvious. "Well then boys looks like we're going to school!" I smiled and they all groaned. "Why did I have the feeling you were going to say that?" Aris glared and Newt shoved him. "Because it's the only choice we have."

It was a week later and the Sheriff was going to take us down to the school and get everything set up for us. The FBI found who Aris belonged to but his family was killed when he was taken. Aris was upset but my dad said he could live with us. That cheered him up a bit but he was still upset. The FBI also found out about Wicked, my dad asked us about it and every time he asked us questions we wouldn't respond. We didn't want to talk about it. But he found out about the tests they were doing, how they lied, the disease they created. My dad felt bad his eyes were full of dread and sympathy. He didn't bring it up to us again, unless it was to tell us any updates but so far there hasn't been much.

"Here Thomas take these, I know it's not very good but at least it's something to keep people from recognizing you as Stiles. You can tell everyone when you're ready, but for now it will just stay between us." Noah smiled at me and I took the sunglasses and the beanie he gave me. "Thanks dad." I half smiled at him and he smiled. I turned looking at my hands getting ready to walk away but I stoped and turned around. "Wait but um two weeks ago this guy noticed me and told me about lacrosse. What are you going to do about him?" I asked and his face was blank than I could see realization hit him. "Oh coach Finstock, I'll talk to him!" He smiled and I nodded walking back upstairs to finish getting ready for school.

Dad drove us all to the school since he needed to be there to talk to the principal about us and to the coach finstick? I don't know I forgot already. He just wants to make sure no one knows about what is going on with us and that I can tell people about me coming back when I was ready but to be honest I don't think I will use it for very long. I don't remember anyone or anything besides that little bit about my father. The car stopped and we all got out, we all walked into the school and my head was down, glasses and beanie on. Newt and Minho were walking beside me and Aris was walking in front with the Sheriff.

"Hi Sheriff, what can I do for you?" The secretary asked smiling. "Um yes I need to enroll them in school." He smiled and the receptionist looked at all of us then went to grab some paperwork. "Got your hands full don't you Noah?" A red headed lady walked in and smiled at him. "Hi, I'm glad you are here actually I need to talk to you." She nodded and motioned all of us into her office.

Once we were all in she closed the door, looking around the room I found that her name was Natalie Martin principal. I couldn't help but stare at her though she looked so familiar. "Thomas would you mind taking off your sunglasses and hat, please?" My dad asked and I nodded pulling them off the lady gasped. "Oh my god Stiles, where the hell was he?" She asked running up to me and grabbing me in a hug. I looked at Newt and Minho who were really close to me staring at her.

"It's a long story but we are looking for something and we think the key is within the school." She nodded and smiled at all of us. "Well then, let's get you boys registered for classes  then." She smiled and walked out of her office with us following close behind.
