Discovery
Friday couldn’t have arrived any sooner. Derek had wanted nothing more than for the pack to meet. They needed to talk things over of these two new baddies. Once he knew school was over he had everybody come immediately to the loft. While waiting he kept on pacing and thinking about the two newcomers, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. They were obviously codenames to hide themselves, so he tried thinking harder on what went down.
Their scent. Of course. When the pack and he arrived at the house, three scents were within the house – Peter’s, Silver’s, and Scarlet’s. Derek remembers Quicksilver had a fruity smell mix in with a hint of vanilla and woods. The witch though had a more musky odor with a hint of strawberry. Maybe he can use these things to find his culprits.
Just as Derek came to this conclusion he heard the loft’s door slide open. Apparently he was too deep in thought to miss their cars arriving. When he look over to them gathering in his living room, he notice two missing heartbeats.
“Where are Scott and Isaac?”
“They’re on dates,” Erica answers while placing herself onto Boyd’s lap.
“With who?” Derek couldn’t help but be curious as to who has caught the attention of his second’s and pup’s attentions.
“These two new kids at school,” Lydia answers. “Allison and Stiles Harris. They are Mr. Harris niece and nephew.”
“Okay, but why couldn’t they schedule another night for their date?”
This got a snort out of Jackson. “Because if they had waited any longer then we all would’ve gone crazy with their yammering.” This got nods from everyone. “I mean how many times can Scott describe ‘Allison’s lushes hair or her soulful eyes’?”
“Or better yet, ‘her fruity smell with just a hint of vanilla’,” Erica mocked. “I mean who is he Shakespeare?”
“Wait,” Derek interjected. “What was the last thing you said?”
“Fruity and vanilla scent, why?”
Not answering her question Derek asks, “What about the other one? Steven or something. What about him?”
It was Malia who answers. “Isaac just says that he some cute moles and stuff. What a weirdo.”
“What about his scent? Did Isaac say anything about that?”
“He did say he like his strawberry-like scent,” Liam answers.
“Why are you so curious about their scent anyways?” Lydia asks with an arch brow.
Whipping out his phone he began calling Scott. “I think they’re in more trouble than I thought.”
On the other side of town two couples were spot sitting in a little pizza shop. They were currently sitting at booth, laughing at a story Scott was regaling. “No, it’s true. Isaac wanted us to piss in the pool to piss off those losers.”
“Hey, to be fair, they got us first with the water balloon ambush first. We were only getting even.”
“Be glad my dad didn’t try to arrest us.”
“You’re dad?” Stiles asks.
“Yeah, well step-dad. He’s the sheriff.”
“That must be cool,” Allison comments. “It must be nice to get away with things and not get caught.”
“Yeah, well I try not to do it too often or he might do more than ground me and Isaac.”
“You’re related?” Stiles asks while looking at the blond in front of him.
“Adopted,” he clarifies. “Enough about us though. Why don’t we talk about you guys? Like where do you come from? And why move to Beacon Hills of all places?”
“Well we moved here from France,” Allison answers. ‘”We came here because of family matter.”
“What happened?” Scott asks getting concern.
“Well there was some trouble going on with our family,” Stiles continues. “We had to leave for protection.”
“Well if you ever need help don’t hesitate to ask us, okay?” Scott asks.
“Alright.” Allison couldn’t help but blush at his concern. “I have to go to the restroom. I’ll be right back.”
As she got up to leave, Scott’s phone began going off. “Well I guess I’ll be out temporarily as well. Don’t eat all of the pizza.” With that he left.
“Thank you again for coming,” Isaac said to the brunet in front of him.
“Well not a lot of people have ever come up to me and asks me out on a date before. I usually am the weird one between my sister and I.”
“Well their lost,” he says while placing his hand on top of Stiles. The moment they came into contact Stiles felt a pull in the back of his mind. He saw a fridge. He felt claustrophobic. He felt close to death. Before he could divulge into it he heard his name. “Stiles… Stiles… Are you okay?”
“What?” he asks while shaking his head.
“I was asking you if you wanna get some fresh air. There’s a park nearby and I just – I don’t know – want to know if you wanna take a stoll with me,” he finishes in a rush, hand still atop of the other male. There was a small blush on blond’s cheek that Stiles couldn’t help but think of it as cute.
Before Stiles could answer Scott and Allison came back together. “I think that would be a great idea,” Scott answers.
“Scott, I was kind of asking Stiles, not you.”
“It’s alright. I’ll just take Allison to the playground or something. You guys can head to the pond,” Scott bargains. “See? Settled. Let’s go.”
“Sorry, for the inconvenience,” Isaac apologizes five minutes into their walk. “I was hoping for some alone time with you.”
“But we are alone.”
“Not with them back there.”
“Hey, you here, I’m here. I think we’re doing pretty okay. Considering that I don’t have much experience with this dating thing.”
“Well you’re doing fine if I do say so myself.”
Turning his head away to hide his blush, Stiles tried to focus on the water. ‘What are you doing?’ he thought. ‘He’s the enemy.’
Before he could divulge any longer into his thoughts, a loud scream stop his train of thought. That sounded like Allison. He turns around with Isaac to see two werewolves – a blond and a black guy – holding tight onto her arms.
Feeling his energy gathering up into his hands, he was about to attack when a blade came out from his left, forcing his arms down. Stiles look back up to see more of this pack coming into the clearing. An ambush.
“Well, well, well, if it isn’t the new twins who turn out to be the culprits. This is getting real old,” Jackson sneers.
“Wait, what’s going on?” Isaac asks confused.
“These two aren’t who they claim to be,” Derek answers from the shadows. “These are the two enhanced. They have the nemeton’s powers coursing through their veins.”
“Good job, Alpha Hale,” Allison said with a bored tone. “Want a cookie?”
“You keep your mouth shut,” he growls the chick.
“Or what?” she challenges.
“Or I’ll-” he was cut off by a shout.
“DUCK ALLISON!!” came Stiles’ voice. Everybody turn to see Kira being blast backwards while her katana became encase in red energy. The now possess sword came flying straight at them. As they ducked their hold on the girl slackens. She manages to speed out while Stiles began throwing energy blast left and right. Throwing one more, Stiles was confronted by Isaac sad longing face.
‘Loneliness,’ Stiles concluded. ‘That’s why I saw those things in Isaac’s head. He doesn’t want to be lonely.’
Stiles didn’t want to hurt Isaac but he had no choice. He, and Allison, couldn’t afford for others to follow them. So gathering up his energy, Stiles blasted the rising Asian into Isaac's arms before pushing both of them into the water.
Once that was over the witch felt a hand on his right arm. Stiles turns to see that old man from before. He manages to choke the boy before he lost conscience from suffocation.
Only one thing was on Stiles' mind…
Oh, no…
