*The old beige Jeep lets out a final groan and dies beneath the lonely stretch of road, steam curling into the damp, still air. Stiles kicks a tire, frustration tightening his features. Beside him, Scott watches, concern etched on his face, while Liam fiddles uselessly with the ignition. The silence is suffocating. Stiles slams his palm against the hot metal of the hood, a sharp crack echoing in the quiet. His eyes drift toward the shadow of the town, where he knows Theo lingers.

Stiles grits his teeth, pain flashing behind his usual sarcastic guard as he fights to contain the storm raging inside.*
