A Twist in the Starnik's Past

Chapter 4: Where We Believed

Lupa's P.O.V

So we saw something that we wished to have never seen. We all knew about Scott's scars and that mom gave them to him many years ago, but never did we think we'd go back to the moment she did it and end up seeing it with out own eyes. In a way, it was good that we saw it, because now we know why she did it and why Scott wanted to keep them. He wouldn't give her space, the time to recover from her emotional breakdown that was regrettably our biological grandfather returning and then leaving on the same day, wanting nothing to do with her. But no, Scott tried to break her out of it, so she reacted with aggression. So to have as a reminder, he keeps those scars to serve him a lesson as to give those going through the same as she did. But as Dakota and I know and have witnessed, that didn't happen. There was also that time a few months after dad died that they had another fight like that and Scott threw her out and over the balcony. Thank god she didn't remember that one; seeing as she died we managed to convince her when she woke up that she and Scott fell off the balcony, hence how he received more wounds from her, but we told her it was the trees on the way down.

They've had their ups and downs, so that could be what we're looking for, we need an event that had the ups and downs of their relationship, but they pushed through it together. But that was something we struggled to think of, we didn't know what they had been through that had ups and downs and they pushed through it. One idea that came to my brother and me was of when Scott was overpowered with Expression, but that was something this family didn't like to talk about and something mom and Scott didn't want Myka either getting wrong ideas about or thinking he was still like that in any way. Sure she knew that happened to him and she, like all wolves, knew what it was, but we never went into specifics. So we never told her the things he said and did. That he once killed one of his friends, wishing that when mom was pregnant with Myka that both of them were dead, that I was going to be his sex toy and that Dakota should be with his look-a-like father. We never told her anything like that, only that he was under its influence once and he was snapped out of it and she now wears the bracelet he was given to stop it.

But anyway, that was an event that we didn't want to revisit or let Myka know to what extent it went to. But it could be the event that we've been looking for, it tested their love. But then again, it wasn't the reason they fell in love, the reason Myka says we're stuck here to find. So whatever it was, it happened before that time. We had three more chances to find this event, so we had to tread carefully.

A few hours after we witnessed mom nearly slice open our stepfather's throat, we were sat around just desperately trying to think of anything we could. But whatever we did think of, it just…it just didn't sound right, it didn't sound like something that would make them fall in love. But it was when we couldn't think of anything else did I have a brainwave, it was so obvious. My eyes widened, why didn't we think of it the first time? I looked around at my siblings as we lay in our circle in silence. "Oh why didn't we think of that before?!" I exclaimed in annoyance.

"What? Got something?" Myka asked hopefully.

"Their first kiss." I told them with a smile. "Sure they might have been taken over by grandma and dad to do it, but what they felt was them, they had their feelings, and they felt love. They must have…right?" I asked as I started to doubt my own idea.

"It sounds right." Dakota replied. "I say we give it a shot."

"Me too, what else could we do?" Myka added.

"Grandma! We've got an idea!" I called out and sitting up at the same time.

"Can she even hear us across time?" Myka asked.

"Oh yeah." Grandma replied from behind me and scaring the hell out of us. "I can hear you."

"Could you not do that?" I breathed heavily.

"Sorry, I guess I don't do that in the future." She giggled.

"Oh you do, so does dad." Dakota chuckled with her.

"You're dad?" She asked confused and tilting her head a little.

"He died a year and a half after we were born."

"NO!" He screamed and covering her ears. "Stop telling me this!" We didn't think, go how stupid we are, more so Dakota who said it. I thwacked him around the head and growled a little.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking."

"Just be glad I can deal with this later." She sighed and sitting back up straight. "But you can't tell me things like this, I can't know what happens in the future."

"I didn't think it mattered too much." He replied hanging his head in shame.

"Well it doesn't now seeing as you've told me, but you can't tell me anymore." She replied and placing her paw on his shoulder and smiling reassuringly. He smiled a little too, but Myka and I could still sense the shame flowing out of him to what he did. But then she sighed again and looked at me and him. "One and a half?" She asked again.

"He was murdered." I replied. "But then he became a spirit guide like you so we were able to see him every now and again."

"I'm so sorry to hear that." She replied again.

"Don't be, it hasn't happened yet after all." I replied with a weak laugh.

"And Rosie was ok?"

"After a while she was, we all were. Scott was there for us all, but he took it just as hard."

"He felt like it was his fault." Dakota added.

"Ok, we can stop there, I know too much now." She said quickly. We all nodded and looked around at one another. "You said you had another idea?" She questioned.

"Yeah, the night they first kissed." I replied. "But…"

"But what?" She asked.

"I don't remember the date; it was a long time ago." I said shaking my head.

"Just do me a favour, do you remember the night it happened?" She asked again, so I nodded. "Ok, remember that night and hold on." I took hold of her paw, and placed my other on my brother's shoulder and he held onto Myka. Grandma then started muttering those same words over and over again, the ones she said before but we couldn't make out or understand, but she stared into my eyes while she did that, and something told me to not take my eyes of her's, so I didn't. Only a few moments later did a bright white light consume us all, so bright I couldn't even see any of them where they sat before. It was so bright I had to close my eyes in fear I'd go blind, but I could still see how bright it was through my eyelids. My grip tightened on my brother's shoulder that I could still feel, but I didn't know if I was hurting him or not, I'd find out. This happened for several long moments before it suddenly dimmed and everything went black. I opened my eyes, and as my eyes adjusted I saw it was dark, grandma was gone again and my claws were flexed against my brother's skin, nearly puncturing him, so I relaxed.

It was night, the stars were shining in the clear sky and the full moon was illuminating the forest we were in. But it wasn't the Valley forest, no this was a different one. I was beginning to have Deja-vu, I knew this place. That's it, it's the SRC forest they had at the back of the building.

"It's weird to be back here." Dakota said after a moment of silence, so it turns out he remember this place.

"Where are we?" Myka asked. That's right, Myka hadn't been born yet, this was before the time mom and Scott became mates, so it hadn't happened yet.

"We used to live here." I replied and looking back. Behind us was the building that was the SRC, the Supernatural Research Facility. "In there to be more precise." I added and pointing back to the building.

"What is it?" She asked again.

"It was a safe haven for supernaturals like us." Dakota answered. "We were found and brought here to live before the world knew about supernaturals, it was amazing."

"This has got to be only three moons after dad." I added.

"Where are mom and dad?" Myka then asked.

"More importantly, where are we?" I asked with a small laugh. "We came here as well so we'll be around here somewhere as well."

"Wait, didn't we gather with the Werewolf Pack at the front of the building?" Dakota questioned.

"Yeah, come on." I replied and walking in the building's direction. They followed by my sides as we crept stealthily through the forest and being careful not to touch anything we shouldn't and most importantly, making sure we weren't seen by anyone or ourselves. That would be one weird conversation if we were. As we crept, we started to hear screams and cries that we all recognised, not by who it was, but by the only thing that could cause someone that much pain. We reached the edge of the trees, and peeked around trees and through hedges at the sight. Five people lay on the ground, squirming, writhing and screaming in pure pain. This was the Werewolf Pack, they turned slow and painfully like Scott used to before he and mom reunited and after Myka brought them back from the afterlife. But now he turns quick and painlessly thanks to me. One of my newfound abilities as an angel are the gifts of a spirit guide and much more, so I was able to help my step father and ease his suffering to nothing but a mild stinging sensation that he never said anything about so it can't have bothered him much.

Scott, Mom, Dakota and myself stood just ahead of them as their bodies contorted and changed before us and…well, us. I couldn't take my eyes of myself, and I'm sure Dakota was too to his other self. It was incredible what supernaturals and the magic we, but my sister mostly, possess. Myka was incredible to be able to do this; I'm starting to actually hate my powers now.

We watched while their bodies continued to change and make the most gruesome noises when mom and Scott suddenly turned around and started walking into the trees and leaving us behind. I remember this moment, they left us to have a "private adult talk" as they said, but oh no, we now know what they're going to do.

"Come on." Dakota said as he ushered Myka and I to creep after them.

We lost sight of them for split second, but my brother being the genius tracker found their scents and tracks, so we followed him who followed them until we started to hear voices again, their voices.

"…please stop lying to me, you wouldn't have brought me all the way out here unless it was serious." We heard mom demand. So we stopped and peeked over a bush and watched. "Please, if it helps I'll tell you the weird dream I had the other night." She added.

"Really?" Scott asked sounding surprised.

"Yeah, of course."

"Well there was only you and me in it and we were at the lake we fell through watching the lights. We were just sitting and you started to act funny. I thought you were in heat again or something but I knew you weren't." He told her. Dakota, Myka and I shared a funny look, I don't know why, but it felt weird to be spying on them like this, but I wanted to laugh as well. This looked so awkward for them.

"What was I doing?" She asked. His paws immediately started shuffling in awkwardness and he struggled to carry on. "How about I'll tell you some of mine and then we'll swap again." Mom suggested and he then nodded. "Well, It was a bit like your dream, it was only me and you, and we were sat looking over the Valley back in our old home and you were acting strange, I thought I was in heat again but I wasn't and you started to say some things" She said with a small blush and looking away from his eyes while swirling her paw in the dirt.

"What kind of things?" He asked.

"Tell me more of yours first." She replied.

"Well, you started saying some weird things as well."

"Like what?" She asked. He took a moment before answering.

"Well, you were saying that you had feelings for me."

"Well I do, you're my best friend and I always will have feelings for you." She replied with a small smile. "And to tell you something, you said the same in my dream."

"Really?" He asked confused.

"Really." She replied. "Tell you what, how about we both summarise what the dreams were about at the same time, deal?" She then asked.

"Deal." He replied.

"We kissed!" They said in unison. Both their eyes shot open and started at one another. "What!" They exclaimed at one another.

"I kissed you?" She asked with a major blush.

"Err, yeah, and I kissed you?" He asked back.

"Yeah." She replied completely embarrassed. I looked over at Myka; she too was ready to burst out laughing as much as I was.

"Something tells me that's what you and Sarah were arguing about the other day." He said after breaking the silence that shrouded them.

"Part of it. She was saying how our howls join as one and that we were meant to be together." She replied blushing like crazy.

"She said that?" She only nodded. "Well, this is more awkward then the time I told you about she-wolf stuff." He said and rubbing the back of his head and a feeble laugh.

"Totally. But can I ask you something?" She then asked. Dakota, Myka and I then looked at one another, all three of us knowing that this was the moment coming up.

"Shoot."

"In the dream, did you feel any different towards me?" She suddenly asked and taking him back.

"Well, yes. You smelt weird, but is was a good weird, It made me want to be close to you, that's why I first thought it was you in heat again." He replied.

"I felt the same towards you; I felt the same when I first met Shadow." She replied.

"It was a good thing it was only a dream right." Scott said sounding relieved.

"Yeah. But…"

"But what?" He asked.

"I enjoyed it, it felt right." She replied.

"As strange as it sounds so did I." I doubt they noticed, but they were edging closer and closer together. I smiled, I was about to see my mother's and stepfather's first kiss. But then again, if you thought about it, that was weird, stalker like even.

"This is so weird, me and my best friend." She laughed weakly.

"It does doesn't it." He replied looking deep into her eyes, the same look of lust towards another person. But slowly, that small gap between their muzzles closed, first their chest touched, the normal reaction they had was to move away, which they did for a second before leaning back against one another and letting their chests touch. That gap closed and closed, Dakota and I smiled at one another; this was the moment we've been waiting for. Finally, after an agonizing wait and me wanting to run out there and push them together, they kissed. But it was a simple peck on the lips, or so I thought. For a moment I thought that, that was it, but oh no. Suddenly, they wrapped their paws around one another and had at it. They turned their heads to the sides and engaged in a deep kiss. Scott started running his paws all over her as she started to moan a little with her paws on his cheek and neck to keep him in place. It was nothing that I hadn't seen, but it was still weird.

After their little moment, they suddenly pushed each other away and mom turned her back on him and walked a few steps away.

"Rosie, I'm sorry." Scott pleaded.

"Don't be, it was my fault." She replied not looking at him. "I shouldn't have asked what your dream was about, if I hadn't this wouldn't have happened." But he still walked up to her side.

"Rosie, I don't know what to do about this."

"Neither do I." She replied looking back up to him.

"Do you feel that way about me?" He asked again.

"I don't know, I don't think I'm ready for another mate yet, I still miss Shadow." She sighed. They didn't speak for a moment, but suddenly her head shot up with a wide eyed look. She suddenly took off running in the direction of the building and leaving Scott in her dust.

"Where are you going?" He called out to her.

"To find my daughter." She yelled back as he then took off after her. We could still hear them shouting to one another the further away they went. We waited until they were out of ear shot and their yells couldn't be heard until we stepped out and into the spot they were standing previously.

"Ok, now that was weird." Dakota laughed.

"I felt like some sick stalker." Myka giggled. I didn't add anything; I just wanted to see if we could go home yet. I held up my paw and pictured a shield in it, but nothing happened. I tried to make a simple dome around me, but I couldn't even do that, this wasn't the right one. My siblings saw me trying it, so they did, but came to the same conclusions. I sighed again.

"It's not the right one." I said sitting down and hanging my head.

"It's ok, we still have two more tries." Myka replied.

"Then what? After we use them up and we're stuck here what do we do then? I won't be able to see my family again; you will give birth to your pups nearly five years before you were even born. What do we do if we can't find it?"

"We stick together." Dakota said coming in-between us. "We stay here and look out for one another."

"You're willing to give up Chance?" Myka asked.

"I want nothing more to be back with her, but I need my sisters as well, we have to stick together." I replied.

"That's a smart idea." Grandma added as she appeared to out left.

"What are you doing here? We didn't call you?" Myka asked.

"I couldn't help but not miss out the opportunity to see my daughter kiss a human. It was weird." She said and finishing with a weirded and grossed out face.

"How much of that did you hear?" I asked.

"Just that last part. Don't worry; I will break Sirius's rules to get you home." She replied with a smile.

"We can't let you do that, he could send you to hell." I said.

"I'll be fine."

"No you won't, we won't let you do that." Myka replied worried, we all were, we didn't want to see her go to hell. If she did, then she wouldn't be our spirit guide in the future and the things she did to us wouldn't have happened. I wouldn't have become the Earth Angel and I would have died and never come back being one of them.

"Come on, let's get you somewhere safer." She replied and holding out her paw.

"What do you mean?" Dakota asked as we walked towards her.

"I'll take you back to a safer time that I can go to, don't want you running into yourselves now do we." She replied with a light giggle. I took her paw, then Myka above mine and lastly Dakota. "Don't worry, this one is free of charge, you'll still have two more tries." I breathed in relief, I hadn't thought of that. She started muttering those words and that piercing white light consumed us all to take us to where and whenever she was taking us.

We have two more tries left, we couldn't mess this up. I wanted my family back, Myka wanted to birth her pups with us, and with her mate preferably born at the time, Dakota wanted to be back with Chance, we couldn't mess this up. But what was this event we were looking for? If it wasn't the night of their first kiss, then what the hell was it?

Another chapter done, i only aim to do two or three more chapters to this story. I did warn you it would be a short one. But I've enjoyed it, has anyone been disappointed yet? I hope not. Stick around to find out what this event they've been looking for is and when it was. What do you think it was, what is the moment they are looking for? Read and Review to find out. Until next time. :P
