The training begins.
Things had been a little bit off since the whole debarkle but it probably has been due to the fact that I wasn't allowed to tell Scott anything. I wanted him to know but my mum specifically told me it wasn't the right time to tell him yet. He had been hiding mostly from his dad at this point in time as he was still on for a revenge killing spree. Derek was looking after him as he knew that if he was that angry he probably would go after his dad but I had enough on my own plate for the time being.
I got home from Deaton's and the minute my dad left for work I rang my uncle, I know my dad is in on the whole supernatural thing but he really didn't like my uncle so the less he knew about this the better. I hadn't spoken to him since my mum died but this was important.
"Hello."
"Hello Uncle Mark."
"Stiles is that you?"
"Yea it is."
"It's been seven years Stiles what can I do for you?"
"I don't really know how to say this but it's time."
"Oh dear I was hoping it would never come to this, Stiles two things can now happen I can either come to you or send everything over."
"Send them as I don't think Dad would really appreciate you coming here."
"Okay but Stiles take this as warning in a couple of days a truck full of belongings will be sent to you, there will be one box which you must look through first, in this box there will be a small wooden box with a ring in it."
"Yeah I know mum told me."
"She what?"
"I may have temporarily died or something and I spoke to her on the other side."
"Anyway this ring is on a chain put it round your neck and never under any circumstances take it off."
"Why?"
"It keeps your powers in check and under control, without this ring you could lose control and kill someone."
"What else is coming?"
"Books, one of which is a grimoire and contains everything you need to know and you need to study that."
"Studying won't be an issue for me."
"You will need training though, but I know Deaton will train you."
"Look, I have no idea what any of this actually means and this apparently happened due to my best friend being who he is in the supernatural world."
"Your best friend is the true alpha isn't he."
"How do you know that?"
"Secrets get out quite quickly in the super natural world Stiles you should know that."
"Any ways so never take the ring off and study and I should be okay."
"Yes and any worries or questions ask me."
I didn't want this, obviously I didn't enjoy being the one who needed help all the time because they couldn't fight for themselves but still I liked being human. I refused the bite from Peter just because I didn't want to be a supernatural being and what do I get for that I become a wizard. Well an Arch mage to be precise.
Days passed and I had received nothing from my uncle nor had I heard from Scott. I wanted to talk to him but right now I really don't think he knows that I am alive. All I know is that Derek promised me he would look out for him and watch over him but whether he told him anything was another story. I was going to talk to Scott whether he likes it or not. And the only way to do that was to call them.
"What do you want Stiles?"
"You know Derek; I want to talk to Scott."
"Well he is still angry."
"He does know I am alive right."
"Urm well we haven't really spoken about it."
"You haven't told him then? What were you thinking?"
"He wants to kill his dad."
"Yes because of what they did to me and I am fine."
"Look Stiles I am trying to stop him from killing someone."
"Put him on the phone please Derek."
"I hope you know what you're doing."
"I do trust me, so put him on the phone."
The line went silent for a minute and then I hear a sobbing person walked up to the phone.
"Hello."
"Scott?"
"Stiles, wait this isn't you this is just a hallucination. You were dead; I saw your dead body."
"Scott it's me, okay I just wanted to see if you were okay."
"I will be once my dad and his family are dead."
"You can't kill them."
"Why not? Give me one good reason as they basically killed you."
"Scott you are a true alpha for a reason, and that reason was you see the good and you don't need to kill them."
"I know that Stiles but he needs to pay for what he has done."
"And he will Scott but for now you need to rest and get over this before you do something you will regret."
"Stiles, thank you."
"That's alright and you know if the sour wolf gets too much for you tell him I have a baseball bat with his name on."
As I hung up the phone there was a large lorry pulled up outside the front of my house and I knew that everything I needed was now here. The man knocked on the door and he was a builder, but I knew him he was a friend of my mum's before she passed.
"Stiles we are here to build an extension."
"Okay why?"
"So your dad isn't aware what is going on."
"He is going to notice an extension on the house."
"Not a magic one."
"What now I've heard it all."
"Look only you will see it and if he goes the way of it he will just end up in the garden so you have nothing to worry about."
"Okay so you won't be here long then?"
"Give me an hour and it will all be sorted."
The other men started bringing through the boxes with all the books and everything that I needed for this whole magic thing but I needed to find the box with the ring in as I knew that it was the most important thing to find. I searched through almost all of the boxes and hadn't had any luck until I stumble upon a small box and if it wasn't in here then I had no idea where it would be.
I unsealed the box to find a small wooden box with my name carved into it and not Stiles my real name. I opened the lid and lifted the ring and chain out as well as the note that was with it.
"Stiles, if you are reading this then you must have found out about our family's secret and it is time for you to learn everything. Take this ring and put it round your neck and under no circumstances do you ever take it off, or there will be grave consequences."
The builder if you can even call him that was gone in an hour and I made my way through to the extension where he had just been and it looked like a mini lair with shelves of books and everything and so the training began. I read through one of the smaller books to begin with about what we were and what the extents of our powers were.
Everything in the book pointed to us being powerful, but not as powerful as Scott as it did mention about creatures that we could meet and werewolves were one, but there was no way to kill them through magic but we can weaken them with our powers. But now I know what I am and why I am this it said if you have a close relationship with certain supernatural beings then if it is in your blood then you will grow into your powers, but it only happens if they are in need of protection. So that was my job now I need to protect Scott from what his family is really here to do but no one knows at this point in time.
Whilst my dad was at work I was practising some small spells such as just a simple levitation spell as it said that you have to build up your powers over time so I thought that I might as well practise some spells, whilst flicking through the grimoire one spell caught my eye which was a vision spell where you could look into someone's mind to see what they were thinking which would come in handy. But so far the practising was going well but I knew it was only going to get harder, in order to do what I was meant to do.
James' point of view:
I had no idea if he was dead or not, I could tell that if I saw Scott he would try to kill me because if Stiles did die I let my brother kill him right in front of him. I hated all this lying as I was lying to everyone. Lying to my son, lying to my family it wasn't good and none of this was alright. My dad was pleased with what we did as both Michael and Bradley believe that Scott is dead so I have to go along with it. Derek on the other hand we knew was alive and they planned on keeping him alive as so far he has proved useful to us in gathering information.
"James, you know the beta that was with Hale?"
"Yes, I think I know the one you mean.
"Sources have told me that he isn't dead yet."
"Sources as in whom?"
"Peter Hale your old friend."
"Okay so what do you want me to do? Do you want me to kill him?"
"No, he sounds like an interesting being and I want to meet him. So find him and bring him to me."
"What if I can't find him as I can't pick up a scent on him as he didn't have one?"
I was desperately trying to get out of this as he wasn't going to find Scott well not yet.
"Don't worry James all we have is time as I don't plan on leaving any time soon."
I wasn't going to hand my son into my dad as this wasn't the life he deserved but actually having to go and find him would be a good thing as I needed to talk to him about what happened but then I would just tell my dad I couldn't find him; as my dad believed me and trusted me over everyone.
Author's note:
I know this chapter isn't brilliant but it will get better as I needed a fill in chapter on what Stiles' powers were but there will action between Scott and his dad in the next chapter and maybe a bit of magic due to the dysfunctional family. Again I am sorry for this bad chapter. Thanks for all the reviews so far.
