Chapter 7 Void & Theo?
(Harley's P.O.V)
"What do ya mean by that Mista J? I haven't seen my father in ten years and now that I have the chance to spend some time with him you want us to just up and leave this crazy town?" I ask him as the rest of the pack looks on at us in confusion as well… his eyes gain an interested look.
"How can this town be crazy besides that bitch Kate burning my home?" He asks and I give him a dark pointed grin that has most of the group worried as they take another step away from us.
"Oh you know Hellhounds, people coming back from the dead, a true Alpha, possession… should I go on?" I ask him with a cheeky tone in my voice and I can see the gears in his head are turning with this new information before he faces the pack with a raised eyebrow at the lot of them.
"Really now Harley? I do say that this small town of ours has gotten much more interesting from the sound of it." The Joker says as I make a low whistle and my three hyena's come over to my side without any fuss and Theo seems to be glaring at Derek and I mentally chuckle at him.
"Oh yeah it has… Isn't that right Theo?" I agree before I stroke my youngest hyena with a grin as I just wait for someone to put the pieces together without Melissa telling them all the truth.
"Why are you asking your youngest Hyena as if they are a person that can perfectly understand you?" Mason asks me with a raised eyebrow looking a little confused, Theo nudges into my hand and I give him a small slight nod of the head, he lets out a sad but soft whimper in reply.
"So… what has been happening since I've been away and haven't kept an eye on you all?" I ask dodging his question to the confusion of most of the rather large group right here before me.
"We had to deal with ghost riders and then Gerard wanted to kill all supernatural creatures but other than that it's been rather quiet around here without you're constant noise." My father says with an amused smile on his lips and I just raise my eyebrow at him in reply… ghost riders?
"How did you find out that the ghost riders were here? They take people and your memories of them, so…?" I ask and most of them look over at me as if I should not know that information so I give them a fox like grin that has most of them looking rather guilty and they all should be.
"It's a rather long story that I doubt you want to listen to at the moment." Malia says with a rather nervous tone as I look between her and The Joker before I give her a really devious look.
"Mista J, did you know that you have a third niece besides Laura and Cora?" I ask him with a sweet and caring tone of voice that gains me a few glares from the other three Hales that at with us.
"What are you talking about Harls?" Joker asks me with a raised eyebrow that has sent many people either running or wishing that they were dead. I don't care about how the other three Hales are all glaring rather murderous at me right now, not after I was abandoned by them.
"Shut up Stiles you don't have a right to say anything." Derek growls out at me but I give him a soft smile that doesn't seem to affect him like it used to… oh well I turn to face the Joker.
"What do you mean by that?" He asks me with a raised eyebrow and I know after all my time with him, that when he raises his eyebrow like that it's his signal for me to continue my thoughts.
"It turns out that your dear old twin brother has a daughter of his own and she is right here with us, her name is… Malia Tate or better known as to those who know her Malia Hale." I tell him as I point to her still with that soft smile that has most of the pack staring at me in pure shock.
"Stiles!" All but one member of the pack growl out in anger at me but my three baby's growl out at them in return and I see that Theo is in front with the loudest snarl… he's come a long way.
"I would be careful of what any of you say around me unless you want to torn apart?" I ask the pack with a light tone of voice as if I did not just threaten any of them, as if this is the usual.
"Stiles please, I know that as much as you love to cause trouble for the pack after everything they did… but please behave just for a few moments, for me and Mel? Please." My father asks me with a soft slightly begging sigh in his voice and I nod my head with my own soft sigh escaping.
"Yes dad... I'll behave but only for you and Melisa alright." I say as he nods his head smiling, I'll behave for now so they won't see what I have planned... none of them will, not even Mista J.
"Thank you, sweetie." Melisa softly says to me with a motherly smile on her lips and a soft look in her eyes to matches with her tone. I notice that Malia and Lydia are whispering to each other and I wonder what they are all planning as they have to be up to something to get back at me.
"So Stiles why don't you tell us a bit about your life away from Beacon Hills as we can only assume that your father and Melisa kept you informed of what happened here?" Malia asks of me with a light sarcastic tone in her voice along with an equally sarcastic smile on her thin lips as well.
"It's a rather long story that I doubt you want to listen to at the moment." I copy her words from earlier and use them with a sharp and poisonous smile on my lips. My eyes look warm and inviting, she looks over at me with a narrowed down gaze in thought while the pack watches us both.
(Scott's P.O.V)
I have a bad feeling about what Malila will do in retaliation to Stiles revealing that she is a Hale and that she is Peter's child as well, Stiles doesn't look to be bothered by the gaze at all.
"Why don't you tell them about some of the things that you told me, Stiles?" The sheriff says with a smile to her and her eyes gleam and sparkle as if she has a story in mind to tell us already.
"Let's see what do I want to tell them?" Stiles lightly mocks us with a dark giggle leaving her as if she needs to think of to tell us that either she or the squad haven't already told us tonight.
"Harley what is going on through that head of yours this time?" Alex asks with a raised eyebrow at her as if he isn't quite sure on what goes through her head, just like the rest of us here.
"Shouldn't you have at least some idea of what goes though her head now as you are her current 'lover'?" Derek all but sneers out the last word of his question to his though to be dead since the fire uncle across from him as we are all still sitting in the back yard of the Sheriff's house.
"Now boys there's need to fight over me…" Stiles starts to say before she lets out a soft knowing giggle at my mother's raised eyebrow at her. "…You all want to know something about your good ol' pal Stiles uh?" She asks using her old nickname, her head tiled ever so slightly and her eyes wide in wonder. I can't help but to think that things are how they use to be all those years ago when we were just teenagers in high school… before she had left both Beacon Hills and me.
"Stiles you promised that you would behave for us, remember?" Mum reminds her with a soft smile, Stiles give her a childish pout that makes the little girl Zoe laugh out rather joyously.
"I know Mama McCall… I had worked at an insane asylum called Arkham Asylum. It is very much like our very own Eichen House here in Beacon Hills." She says to my mum with a soft tone before she turns her full attention onto us with the rest of her sentence in that crazier tone of hers.
"Stiles… don't you think that would have bought some rather bad memories that you would have wanted to forget?" I ask her worried, my mother and step-dad both seem to feel the same, the pack doesn't look at anyone as they remember the pain that Stiles had went through for us.
"You had told me that you work at an Asylum but not that it was that bad." Noah frowns lightly as he says this, I notice that Alex seems to be confused about what we are talking about.
"Why would it bring up bad memories if you were never in an Asylum before we met?" Alex asks her with a tone letting us all know that he doesn't like to be left out of the loop on things.
"You really think that? How much of your past does he know about Stiles?" Lydia says first at Alex with her arms crossed over her chest before she turns to face Stiles with a raised eyebrow.
"I had only told him what my real birth name was the night before Batman took me away to Belle Rave to rot in my cell." Stiles says with an amused roll of her eyes at the red headed woman that she at one point in her life had seen as a sister like figure… her hyena's start laughing abruptly.
"How did it feel to be on the other side of those metal doors?" Malia asks with a low growl in her voice and a raised eyebrow in the hopes that she gets to Stiles a little bit but it won't work.
"It actually in some way had helped me better than you might think." Stiles says with a wide grin on her lips knowing full well that it's not what Malia had wanted to hear coming from her.
"You sure that it's not Void talking, chimera?" Malia asks with a raised eyebrow and a smirk as I hold my breath waiting for Stiles's reaction, she just smiles even wider at the were-coyote.
"You want to play that little game, dog?" Stiles asks as her eyes flash dangerously before her three hyenas are now in front of her snarling at Malia and I see that the squad is confused as hell.
"What does she mean by Void, Harley? What the hell is going on?" Floyd asks confused as hell and Stiles lets out a sigh and I get the feeling that she didn't want them to know just yet.
"What they mean by that Floyd, is that when I was a teen an evil fox spirit took over my body and was known as Void… so they shipped me off to Eichen to keep everyone around me safe." She explains to the squad with a light disbelieving snort and arms crossed over her chest. The smallest hyena known as Theo stands before Stiles with a smug look in his gold eyes that is familiar.
"You where possessed by a fox spirt and spent some time in an Asylum before you became my psychologist... This town has gotten even more interesting it seems." Alex mutters with a raised eyebrow and an interested tone of voice at the smirking brunette in the centre of us all.
"Anything else you want to know about your old friend that you haven't seen in ten years?" Stiles asks us with her arms in a wide spread in invitation for us to ask her another question.
"How is it that you are covered in tattoos when you fainted at Scott getting his tattoo that turned into the pack symbol?" Lydia asks with a raised eyebrow and most of the pack agreeing with her words, Stiles just grins wider at the question before turning to face me with a curious look.
"Did you tell the pack about all of our moments together or was it just the ones where it was at my expense?" She asks me and for a single moment she looked and sounded like 'my' Stiles again.
(Mason's P.O.V)
"He didn't tell us any of your special moments, I was passing by and helped him get you home that's all." Derek says with arms crossed and a pointed gaze at her that had her giggling, her three pet hyena's just start laughing as well before Theo faces me again with a large fanged grin.
"Do you believe them boys?" She asks her pets getting three growls in answer making her laugh, the youngest looks around at us with a knowing look in his gold glowing eyes… no it can't be!
"Stiles… is Theo actually Theo somehow?" I ask as I watch the young hyena grin wider along with Stiles clapping her hands together in a childish way that makes Scott's eyes soften a little.
"And Mason figures it out first! I knew you were smart!" She says with a smile before the whole pack including Scott suddenly realise what I ask and look at her with wide shocked eyes.
"Wait a moment, Stiles… why is Theo one of your beloved Hyena's? He's the whole reason behind you leaving Beacon Hills to start with! Stiles!?" Hayden says with a shocked tone while the rest of us agree with her while the brunette just grins at us with that crazy gleam in her eyes.
"Stiles… how did you really get Theo four years ago?" Mellissa asks with a worried tone with a look to match in her eyes at woman who takes a seat with her pets sitting loyally at her feet.
"What I said was true about Mista J giving me Theo as he seemed to have pissed the wrong person off while trying to find me and apologise." Stiles says as her hand goes to rest on Theo's head, knowing that her most vocal pet is the same Theo that wanted Scott dead… is unnerving.
"If he went to apologise to you, why is he now a hyena? Last time I checked he was a chimera that as you said wanted to bring back Void so that he could be Alpha of his own pack." Cory asks with a raised eyebrow and a nervous tone so he noticed the change in behaviour of Theo as well.
"You really think I was going to believe him so easily after everything? That I would forget that he stole my best friend from me!" She starts off in a calm tone before she stands up while yelling out the last part with narrowed eyes that seemed to glow a dark and rather dangerous red.
"Harley, you told me that you were bored and wanted to have some fun since he was as good as dead anyway." Alex asks the crazy woman with his arms crossed and a raised eyebrow, I notice that Peter is doing the same as his twin but in surprise and a little shock at his words.
"NO! He needed to be taught a lesson after all the shit he did to me so that's what I did, I'll let you come up with what I did to him to get the end result of the good boy he is now." She growls out darkly with her eyes narrowed at the pack as if the Alex didn't speak to her at all.
"Stiles… calm down please, none of us are saying that he didn't deserve what happened to him at your hand because he did." All heads turn to the voice that is speaking in a soft tone, most of us were expecting either Melissa or the sheriff to have said that but it turns out it was Scott! Stiles turns to look at him with her head tilted slightly as she seems to be thinking something over.
"That's the Scott I know." She mutters so low I am not sure if I heard her right as Theo watches us with a knowing look that seems all the more unnerving now we know who he really is.
