Chapter 4

Disclaimer: As always, I own nothing but what you see here. And for the guest who asked about Scott and Reena having something. Come on now, its been a month since Kira left to be with the Skinwalkers, you really think he's gonna move on from her despite that so soon? What they had was something really special and for him to move on like its no problem would just de-value what they had. And I am never gonna write something like that either. So no, there will be NOTHING between Scott and Reena. Anywho, on with the show!


Wednesday

The rest of Tuesday had thankfully gone by without anymore problems for Scott, Stiles, and Liam, though Reena would get a very loud ass chewing later that night from her father for her actions that day. Something that only served to really make her angry and a bit more rebelious then anything else, along with putting her and Merry even more at odds with one another. And once Wednesday came, as per the allowance of the Thacher school, the Beacon Hills bunch would have their own classroom for a little long distance learning with Finstock as their teacher. Which was actually somewhat nice since for some of the stuff they had he left them be since he didn't know the subjects aside from Economics. And it'd be during lunch when Scott and his friends were approached by the two Native Americans from the day before and were asked to talk privately with them by a nervous looking Wapun while Aranck just stood by with his arms crossed and looking sullen. "Sure, I think that'll be alright." Voiced Scott and gave a pointed look towards Stiles that kept the other boy from saying anything negative.

And as the group of five went somewhere quiet to talk, Liam couldn't help but notice they were being stared at by the Thacher students and mentioned it aloud as they walked on. "Not surprising, fools are mistrustful of us." Hissed Aranck.

"Probably think we will cause you three problems." Added the boy seconds later.

"And you wouldn't? Considerin' what we caught you doin' yesterday and I kinda wouldn't be all that surprised if you started to give us trouble kid." Voiced Stiles and getting a slight glare from Scott.

As the last thing they needed was problems getting started damnit! Wapun led the group to a lone classroom and the girl started to look a bit nervous as well once they were situated. "I am sorry to say that we all got off on the wrong foot yesterday. Isn't that right Aranck?"

"Whatever. I really don't care how we got yesterday."

Wapun let out a disappointed sigh over her younger brother's words as he had so much anger in him and it hurt her to see that. "Since you're both Werewolves, what would your Alpha say about your attitude?"

"What Alpha!? We have no Alpha! Nor do we have a Pack! All because Hunters wiped them out and making everyone in this stupid town distrustful of us!" Yelled out Aranck angrily.

"So you do know by being a bully, you only make them more distrustful. Right?" Questioned Liam to make sure he understood everything right.

This got him a glare from the other boy but he met it head on as he'd seen worse then this kid! "I'm sorry to hear of what happened, but you shouldn't do bad things just cause of horrible circumstances. You should rise above that and find ways to somehow earn their trust." Voiced Scott firmly.

"Hmmph, whatever."

"So your Pack was wiped out by Hunters? Did your Pack do horrible stuff?" Wondered Stiles, only to get a glare of his own from the angry young Beta!

Wapun would be the one to answer this time as she held up a hand to keep her younger brother from speaking much to his annoyance. "No, the Pack we came from, the one led by our parents was a well known and very respected Pack. Loved by everyone in the city. But… Then a group of Hunters came. Hunters that everyone knew was bad news but our parents allowed them to be about anyway as they felt they could be trusted since the Hunters were doing everything possible to show they could be trusted."

"Which shoulda been a sign it was all bull." Interjected Aranck sourly.

"And when the Hunters felt they had enough of our Pack's trust, they… They wiped everyone of them aside from us out. We were lucky..." Sniffled the girl as she smoothly ignored her brother's interruption.

Aranck didn't feel they were lucky at all, more like cursed for what had happened and voiced as much. "What… What happened to the Hunters?" Asked Liam quietly as this was some horrible stuff to be learning!

"Some group from Mexico came and killed them." Voiced the Native boy.

"Probably the Calaveras, they take the Code seriously."

Scott and Liam nodded at Stiles' words as that group was about the only bunch they could think of who would probably do something like that. Silence went on for a bit after that until Scott broke it with a sigh. "I'm sorry for what happened to you guys, I really am as something like that shouldn't ever happen. But why not leave?"

A scoff came from the angry boy after that. "And where would we go? We would surely be easy kills for some Hunter."

"Not every Hunter out there is bad." Said Scott.

Aranck snorted at hearing that. "Yes, you would say that when you've been allied with the Argents for so long." Said the boy with a sneer on his face.

"Little brother, you know that has not exactly been an easy thing for him and his Pack."

"Must have been if he was able to get in between the legs of their beloved daughter."

Red eyes flashed and before the angry boy could do anything, he soon found himself thrown up against a wall and held there with his feet dangling off the floor. Stiles and Liam rushed to their angry friend to try and get him to let go of the boy. "They… They have you so… Conditioned to defend… Their honor! Do you roll ov-ack!" Gasped out the boy as he got slammed a little against the wall.

"Its no wonder you and your sister aren't trusted Aranck. Especially with an attitude like that." Snarled out an angry Scott.

Yeah, their tale was a horrible one but it didn't give this kid the right to speak such garbage about Allison or anybody else for that matter! "Dude, come on man, he's not worth it." Tried Stiles.

Wapun looked on sadly at the scene her brother had caused and would do nothing to intervene as he had brought it upon himself. Angering an Alpha, especially one who had seen and done so much since being Bitten was never a good thing. "You want trust and respect? You earn it by doing the right thing." Spoke Scott in a very firm but angry tone.

"Am I understood?"

A nod came from the boy and Scott let him go as his features returned to normal. The starting of clapping caught their attention, making for the group to turn their heads towards the source of it and earning a couple of groans from Stiles and Liam. "Oh great, its her." Groused Stiles unhappily.

Her being Reena, a smiling Reena at that as she crossed her arms. "Well, aren't we all just… Cozy in here."

"You are not wanted." Spoke Aranck rudely and Scott couldn't help but agree with the boy there.

"Why are you even here?" Questioned Liam curiously.

A laugh escaped the girl as she made mocking cooing noises at Wapun's brother, something that only served to anger him. "I'd think that little Beta baby would be quite obvious. I go to school here. Actually in all the AP classes for that matter too."

"And she thinks herself above us for it too." Added Wapun distastefully with a frown on her face.

"Oh please girl, you give me a little too much credit."

"I think I give you just enough since its actually true."

Reena merely rolled her eyes at her fellow girl as she so had better things to be doing then argue with the lowly Wolf. "Anyways, Scott, baby boy? My dad would like for you to come by later this evening. Apparently thinks its a big deal to meet the great and oh so wonderful True Alpha." Informed the girl with another roll of her eyes.

She honestly didn't think there was anything about him other then his looks to get nuts over. "Oh, you can bring your friends too. I guess."

Scott frowned to himself as the last thing he wanted to do was be anywhere near this girl's house. No telling what ideas she might get in her head. "I'm afraid you'll have to tell your dad I can't make it."

"Yeah, we're only here to play some Lacrosse. Not meet fans." Added Stiles, who secretly thought this girl was like the old Lydia and that to him wasn't all that great of a thing in his view.

"Well, I tried at least." Sighed Reena even though she hadn't actually tried too hard. As she didn't care if her father and the Wolf met or not.

She had way more important things to think about. Like what she was gonna do some filming on next to help her get noticed by a big shot from Hollywood that could take her out of this stupid place and never have to be bothered about old Gods and all the stupid crap that came with it. Her father and others in the Order of Akhati were so damned worried about Akhaten rising again but she honestly believed they were just worrying for nothing as the thing was just nothing more then a myth these days. Not that they appreciated her beliefs as they felt she was being too flippant about it all. But she could hardly bring herself to care! "Anyways… I'll let you all get back to your little confrontation or whatever."

"Gee, how nice of her." Groused Stiles as the girl left.

"Yeah, made me wanna bring her home for dinner." Added Liam and getting a chuckle and high five from Stiles for it.

"You've been spending way too much time around him." Accused Scott with a grin and chuckles were had while Wapun and Aranck looked on and feeling fairly out of place as well.

Clearing her throat, the three boys looked towards her and got apologetic looks on their faces for somehow forgetting the girl and her brother were still in the room with them. "We shall take no more of your time." Informed the girl quietly and made her leave with her brother soon following them.

A sigh escaped Scott after that and started to wonder if bringing them back to Beacon Hills could be a good idea. "You're not thinkin' what I think you're thinkin' are you? Cause if so, I really don't think its a good idea."

"What? What's he thinking that you think he's thinking?" And boy, talk about possible over use of a word!

"He thinks I'm thinking about bringing those two back with us. And you don't know if it'd be a bad idea or not Stiles. A change of pace might be a good thing for them."

"Or it might be a bad one."

Leave it to my best friend to always think on the negative side. Thought the young Alpha a bit fondly.

"Its a thought man, nothing more."

Stiles honestly doubted that but let it go for the time being much to Scott's liking and the three boys made their way back to lunch. Thankfully the rest of the day at their temporary school passed by uneventfully with Scott wondering why everyone there was hiding theirselves and learning it was only being done so his human teammates and Coach wouldn't learn of the Supernatural since none of them were sure they could handle it that well. Something Scott wasn't sure if he should agree on or not but decided to leave it be since it wasn't his place to argue on. A little while later after a fun filled practice would see Liam opening their hotel room and seeing they had a couple of guests after a knocking started to happen. "Scott!" Cried out little Merry as she rushed inside the room and hugged the shocked boy.

Liam kinda found it a little amusing even if he did wonder how the little girl and the big guy at the door found them! "How'd you find us Merry?" Asked Scott curiously.

"My daddy." Answered the girl simply enough.

"Ah, he who wanted to meet you. Guess he decided to come to you instead." Spoke up Stiles while wondering if the bald guy at the door was the girl's dad.

"Yes, I felt it prudent to come to you since I believe my older daughter likely made you all hesitant to even come." Naru said to the young boys.

"You could say that." Responded Stiles with a shrug.

Naru let out an unhappy sigh as he wondered when his oldest would stop with her rebelious ways. "Not to be rude, but why were you wanting to see us?" Asked Scott as he held little Merry on his side, who was quite happy with the arrangement!

"I came because I wished to speak with you about a great danger. A danger that could mean the end of all of Ojai and possibly beyond the city should it awaken."

Flailing from Stiles started up as he started to speak about how it was just their luck this sort of thing would happen to them while out of town until a look from Scott got him to quiet down. Looking back to old man, the young Alpha asked him to go on with what he was talking about while hugging little Merry tighter to him after she let out a fearful whimper. "Long ago there was an old God known as Akhaten. A God who fed upon the fears and worst memories of those who lived in that time. In time, Akhaten's appetite increased, just as its size did to compensate it and in so doing, became even more of a danger to everyone as it also started to take the very life from those it fed upon. Until the first of the Akhati Order arose to put an end to it." Here he paused to walk over to his daughter and rub on her back in a comforting manner.

Something that made the girl feel a little better as it never got any easier to hear the stories about old Akhaten. "Only, they couldn't truly end it so much as put it to sleep. And for generations since we've been doing all we could to ensure it stays asleep but troubling portents tells us our efforts may no longer be working for much longer."

"Well… That's… Worrisome." Spoke up Stiles a bit sarcastically.

"Umm, so how much longer you think it'll be?" Wondered Liam as this whole thing sounded way worse then the crap with the Dread Doctors!

"This Thursday." Informed the man a bit grimly.

He then went on to tell the three boys that despite all their attempts to try and prepare Reena to do her duty to help add her voice to the Sleep Song, she had fought as hard as she could against it. Believing it to be nothing more then them being foolishly worried. Going so far as to even have a specialized set of giant tvs made, one at the sight where Akhaten is buried, and one in the city that would allow those who watched to see there was nothing to worry about at all. "And that explains so much about her." Muttered Liam.

Something Stiles couldn't help but agree with! Scott had a serious look on his face as he came up to the man. "What do you need from us?"

"If… If the great Akhaten does rise and we are unable to stop it. I wish for you to take my daughters away from here. Though I suspect Reena will give you trouble but that is what I am asking of you. Protect Merry and Reena from the threat for as long as you can."

"You'll beat it daddy! I know you will!" Cried out Merry and if she had too, she would help fight it darn it! To heck with her sister and what she believed!

Naru smiled at his daughter and hoped he could be worthy of his little girl's faith in him. "Sir… This, this is a big request to be asked of." Said Scott a bit nervously.

Making for the man to sigh heavily. "I know young man, I know. But hopefully it will not come to that."

I seriously hope not… Scott thought to himself and feeling a bit of dislike that this was even happening!

As seriously, would it hurt the Supernatural to leave him alone for a really, really long time!? Like… Long enough until he graduates High School? Maybe even College? Liam could sense the agitation from his friend and Alpha and honestly wished Kira was here to help sooth it. Naru then gave the boys an apologetic look. "I am truly sorry to trouble you boys with this. I truly am."

A sigh came from Scott. "It wouldn't be my life if there wasn't something dangerous going on at some point." Said the boy a bit tiredly.

"Yeah, I kinda get a little anxious now if my life isn't threatened in some way after a certain amount of time." Threw in Stiles.

Liam would have said something sarcastic about his friend's anxiousness but chose to keep quiet since they had guests in their hotel room. "If you will allow it, I will take you three to dinner to make up for the troubling news." As it was the least he could do after all...

"Yeah! We can go to McDonald's!"

"Now sweetie, you know their food isn't the healthiest for you."

"But it is tasty!" Chirped the girl and making her father grin while Scott actually managed a chuckle.

"Hey why not? After all, being around Merry here is all kinds of fun."

Merry cheered happily after hearing that. "You are my new big brother!"

Scott got a look of surprise on his face after that was declared to him while Stiles and Liam grinned over it. "Oh really?"

"Mm-hmm, I said so."

Pretending to think on it for a moment, he then grinned at her. "Well, if you say so, then I guess its so! Kinda always did want a little sister."

"Does this mean you'll have Reena for a sister too?" Asked Stiles with that grin still on his face.

He got a horrified look from his best friend that had the little girl giggling and the ADHD teenager mentally patted himself on the back for a job well done. "Don't worry big brother, I'll protect you!" Declared the little girl happily.

Shaking his head in amusement as they all started to walk out the door while making sure they had their key for the room, Scott told her that he felt safer already. Earning another happy little cheer from the girl and seeing his daughter so happy made Naru rather happy himself and hoped like Hell Akhaten could be kept asleep so such things as this wouldn't ever be threatened. However, un-noticed by all, a slight rumbling was occurring out on the hill where the great Akhaten slept. A sign that its awakening truly was close to happening.
