ANOTHER STORY ANOTHER TIME

Standing in the upstairs bathroom, Derek was throwing water on his face, he needed to pull himself together for Stiles's sake. He was stroking stubble on his chin and decided that he would shave when he got back to his uncle's condo.

"Letting that stupid army brat push you around, oh how the high and mighty has fallen......Derek." Looking into the mirror he saw a glimpse of a man with long sharp teeth and a gauze covered face, he blinked several times turned to look behind him then turned back around and looked into the mirror, blinked again and turned around, but every time he turned around the man was gone, but then the mirror told him otherwise, 

"I'm losing it, wow." with his eyes now closed, he heard its voice then the hissing was back

"Derek do you really want Stiles to accomplish his goal, think of all that you will be missing out if he does!" Derek shook his head, He turned around again, there was no one there!

 "What the hell is wrong with me?" The face was still in the mirror,

 "He is yours, you stupid wolf, are you going to let some pathetic missing soldier get your prize?" Derek looked behind him again, 

"I'm going mad, what the hell?" The Nogitsune moved to Derek's other side... 

"Oh, you're not mad!" His words slithering into Derek's ear as he could feel the presence there, "I am though, but if you do not prevent the First from finding the Third, then the First will no longer live do you understand what I'm saying you freak of nature, the prophecy must not be fulfilled, if the First finds the Third the First will die!!!" The Nogitsune yelled as his words came out of his mouth faster! "The First must never find the Third!" Derek was transfixed, 

"What are you talking about, I don't understand?" he wolfed out without meaning to. "GO AWAY!" then he roared... The Nogitsune was behind him again, Derek could feel the fear was taking over him, he couldn't control it, 

"I'll leave you with this," the image in the mirror said as Derek could feel the moister from its breath on his face, and could see its long, sharp, steel teeth almost against his ear in the mirror,  "What Is Stronger Than Me, More Evil Than The Devil, The Poor Have It, The Rich Don't Need It, And If You Eat It You Die?" then there was a strange clicking sound as he vanished in smoke, as Derek slowly lowered to the floor, there was a whisper in the air, "the First must not find the Third........" At this Lydia and Malia who had heard his roar entered the room, 

"Derek what's wrong with you?" His cousin asked as she and Lydia knelt down beside him. Derek pulled his knees to his chest with his arms wrapped around them. 

"Something was here, something I can't explain there was clicking, his face, bandages and silver teeth!" Lydia looked at Malia, 

"Something is terribly wrong, I've never seen Derek this spooked before, and I mean never!" Derek tried to stand up, but he started mumbling, 

"All he was talking about were thirds and firsts and Stiles and not living, and wants me to prevent Stiles from accomplishing his goal!" The girls helped him to his feet as they walked into Stile's room, they laid him down on the bed and put a cover gently over his chest. Malia grabbed a tissue off Stiles's computer desk and started wiping the sweat and tears from Derek's face, but the tissue kept taring due to his coarse stubble,
