chapter 11: arms

Aylee knew that it was a bad idea to take away Lydia's catatonic emotionless state especially when she had never done it before and didn't know how it worked exactly since she didn't realise that by taking it away Lydia's catatonic state would be become hers as it needed a place to go. She still wasn't sure what had happened after she had completed the transfer as it was mess of broken memories such as Lydia called for help, Scott and Stiles trying to wake her up, Stiles crying over her as he desperately tried to make her feel better. What she did know was that Melissa, her adoptive mother, had no choice but to admit her to back into Eichen house and as they all knew about her supernatural status she was placed on the sixth floor along with the other supernatural creatures. This was Aylee currently found herself back in Ms Morrell's office for a one on one therapy session to see if she could break her catatonic state, although Aylee sitting on the couch facing Ms Morrell with her knees pressed against her chest with her arms wrapped around her legs. Aylee was wearing a plain white long sleeved tshirt, dark blue sweatpants with white stars on them, white sprinkled socks and white fluffy slippers. Her long wavy brown to blonde ombré hair was down and slightly covering her makeup free face.

" Aylee, do you remember what happened that night in the woods with Lydia?...Why don't we talk about your family or Stiles?" She said trying to bait her into a conversation

Despite Ms Morrell's efforts to try and get her talking Aylee continued to look out the window as she thought about how different things were seven months ago in the aftermath of the dead pool list and everything that happened in Mexico with Kate. As she looked at the green grass she closed her eyes as she remembered one day in particular when her and Derek had gone running as she remembered every detail.


Flashback

Derek had arrived at the McCall household in early morning so he could drag Aylee out of her bed for an early morning run, although what he wasn't expecting to find was a sleeping Stiles curled up next to his younger cousin as she peacefully dreamed away. After the two cousins had a mini argument consisting mostly of loud whispers which ended with Derek going down stairs while Aylee got changed into something suitable for running as Stiles kept on sleeping as if nobody had disrupted them. Aylee wore a pair of black cropped sport leggings, a grey foo fighters tank top with a black sports bra underneath and black running shoes. She had placed a braid in the front of her hair before placing the rest of her mass of curls and waves into a ponytail, she wore light makeup mostly on her eyes to cover up the bags under her eyes that showed the fact that she wasn't sleeping that well and a simple lip balm on her lips. As they ran through the woods Derek made sure that they were heading in the right direction

"So are you going to tell me what this is about or am I your new project while Braeden is on a job?" She asked as they ran since it was clear that he wasn't going to make the first move

" technically you're my old and apparently ongoing project" he told her as he thought about the way she had been acting ever since they had gotten back for Mexico three weeks ago

" meaning what? That I'm stopping you from living happily ever after with Braeden?" she said as she abruptly stopped running to look at him as he did the same a small distance from her

" meaning you've been distancing yourself from everyone ever since Mexico, ever since..." He said not sure how to phrase what Peter had done to her, it seemed like the biggest betrayal

" ever since my father knocked me out by spiking my water with the same form of poison that almost killed me?" She said finishing his sentence for him as she gave him a dark smile

" yeah that and now it's like you're waiting for everyone to double cross you" he said watching her every move as he realised that she wasn't acting like the fun loving sarcastic Aylee he loved

" maybe they are, I mean I have Hale blood in my veins right? The way I see it ends one of two ways" She said thinking about all the Hales she had learned about recently and none of them had happy endings

" so you think that means either someone is going to betray you or you're going to go on a murderous rampage?" He said finally working out what had been going on in her head

" yeah, Hales don't get happy endings and I don't know enough about my Geogieva side" she said thinking about how she had recently learned that her biological mom had faked her death

" here we go, I was wondering when you would mention her" he said giving her a knowing smile as he realised that a pattern was beginning to form in her behaviour when complicated situations happened to her

" ok before you start I've dealt with her being back from the dead so to speak" she said subconsciously touched her silver locket that she had recently started to wear again

" when something bad and messy happens you shut down" he said thinking about she had broke up with Stiles and ignore him for weeks after reading the last part of the dead pool list

" maybe that's how I cope like how Stiles throws himself into the mystery of it or Scott goes into protective mode" she said beginning to walk away from as she realised where they were

" even when we're talking about it you feel the need to walk away from me" he said getting more and more frustrated by her since she was shooting him down every chance she got

" I'm not walking away! I just don't want to talk about this...or be here" she said as she turned the corner to see what used to be the old burned down Hale house

" that's why we're here, you can't afford to avoid things this way ok? You need to take about it" he said knowing that he would hate it if she had to go back into Eichen house as would she

" it's nothing new, it's the same fear I've had since my da-Peter killed the mute. I'm worried that I'm a Hale" she said in a small voice as she sat down on the ground in defeat

" and you think that the Hales are all like Peter? That we're all bad?" He said joining on the ground as he noticed how she corrected herself by using his name rather than the d word as he did the same

" aren't they? I mean your mom wanted to kill me when I was born, Peter is well Peter and I didn't know Laura or Cora" she said playing with the grass rather than looking at Derek as she wished one again that she had grown up knowing her family

" what about me?" He said noticing that she had left him out as if she was trying to decide which side he was on since his werewolf eyes were currently blue for the life he had took

" you, my dear cousin are one of the good guys despite what you want the others to think" she said finally looking him in the eyes as the old Aylee he loved began to shine through

" what if I could prove you that sometimes being a hale is a good thing, that we're not all bad? would you be interesting?" He said suddenly getting an idea as he thought about the missing Hale as he saw that she was intrigued by his words

" how? Is Peter doing some charity work while he's locked in Eichen?" She asked in her sarcastic tones as she gave him look as she tried to figure out what he was thinking or rather what he was planning

" no smarty pants, I want you to come to South America with me" He said knowing that he had yet to tell her about his trip to South America where he was planning to explore his evolved werewolf statues and this way he could keep an eyes on her

" wait South America? I can't, I still have like two months of school left" she said trying to work out how close summer was, although part of her still thought he was joking since it was so out of the blue and random

" yeah you can meet Cora and see everything she does there with her pack…I've already talked to Melissa" he said letting her know that she didn't have a lot to argue with on this matter as he hoped she wouldn't get mad at him for going behind her back

" and you both agree that I should go?" She said thinking that one hand she could the benefit of being away from Beacon Hills for while but on the other hand she didn't want to leave her friends or Stiles

" yeah we do, it might help you clear your head before senior year and we can spend time together" he said checking the time to see that he needed to get her back for school as he didn't want her to be late

" ok fine I'm in, when do we leave? Next week?" She asked as he helped her onto her feet as they began to head back the way they came as she figured he would give her time to get used to it

" tomorrow morning…Scott knows but I told him not to tell Stiles, I figured that was something you would want to do on your own" he said watching her face drop as she thought about telling him that she was temporarily leaving


After Derek had dragged an unwilling Aylee out of the house for their morning run, Stiles decided to head home early than he normally did as he either didn't go home at all or made a stop to his house on the way along to school. He decided to leave a note on her pillow telling her that he had went home in case Derek came home with her since he didn't want to get her into trouble with the sour wolf himself. He was surprised when he noticed that Aylee wasn't with Scott like she usually was whenever he didn't drive her to school in his jeep, the fact they didn't have any class together in the morning wasn't helping his obsessive worrying about her. By the time practice came around in the afternoon he was tipping over the edge as he consider going to look for her when he saw Scott by the bench facing the lacrosse field as he went to ask him whether or not Aylee had texted him.

" hey have you heard from Aylee?" He asked as he checked his phone again as if expecting a text to appear any minute as he tried to think of reasons why she wasn't in school yet

" no but she's with Derek so she'll be fine and this is what we wanted right?" He said remembering how they had went to Derek after deciding that she couldn't hide from him like she could the others since he usually called her out on things

" I guess, I just don't want her to isolate herself even more than she has already" he said as he sat down on the bench next to him as he placed his sports bag next to him as he got ready for practice that was going to start soon

" if it works then we could have Aylee back in all her sarcastic kick ass glory" Scott said trying to be positive since he was hoping that this thing with her wasn't about to spiral and that he would his sister back as well Stiles's girlfriend

" but if it doesn't work then she'll probably stopping talking to both of us for awhile and possibly hit one of one" he said since part of him was programmed to think the worst which was how he was able to cope so well with supernatural problems

" well at least she's leaving her room to go somewhere other than school now" he said knowing that they had all began to worry about her when she began to lock herself into her room and when she had tried to throw out her art things

" yeah true, I just want her back instead the shell of the girl I love" he said as he took his hoodie off and grabbed his lacrosse stick as they waited for coach to arrive since they knew that he was always at least ten minutes late for practice

" I think its weird that she hasn't made one sharp witted or even sarcastic comment in weeks" he said knowing that sarcasm was like breathing to people like Stiles and Aylee so it was strange when that side of her was switched off

" I know, I said something to her yesterday to bait her and it was like nothing…." Stiles said trailing off the end of his sentence as he turned to see something that had caught his eye almost immediately


Scott turned to see what had caught his eye as he saw a much more familiar and happy looking Aylee walking towards them as he began to mental compare how appearance now to how had been recently since she had began to wear darker clothing and more casual than her usual slightly edgy style. She was now wearing cropped light blue shirt with small oink birds on it, high waisted jeans that were ripped at the knees, a pink knitted cardigan, a pink backpack and pink oxford shoes. Her hair that had bee recently threw up in a messy bun or ponytail so that it was simply out of the way was now in a half up half down vintage style with a light blue hairband with a bow placed in it. Rather the less is more style of makeup she had been wearing recently she now wore brown smoky eye makeup and pink lipstick. As she got closer to Stiles she placed her finger on her lip to signal for him not to say anything before she wrapped her arms around his neck gently pulling him into a kiss as he began to respond almost immediately despite the surprise

" hey... Scott can you cover for us? We'll be a minute, I promise he said without taking his eyes off of Aylee as he clasped his hand around hers as he began to lead her over to the bleachers where he began to kiss her again in disbelief

" underneath the bleachers, really! you realise that we're not teenagers from the fifties right?" she said once they had broke their kiss as she gestured to their current hiding spot as he kept one hand gently cupping her face

" does that mean you don't to want to wear my letterman jacket?… hey you just made a sarcastic comment, my baby's back!" he said once he realised what she had said as he gave her a look of pure happiness

" yeah Derek kind of made me realise that I was being overly negative and borderline paranoid about things rather than dealing with what happened" she said giving him a smile as she began to wonder how she could ever think he would betray her

" so have you deal with what happened, I mean with everything that happened in Mexico?" he asked remembering how she hadn't tried to fight the poison that Peter had put in her water since Derek's almost death and Peter's betray had been too much for her

" kind of, I get why he did it but that doesn't mean I like what he did or that I forgive him and as for Derek… well I can't really be blamed for thinking he was dead because we all did" she said remembering how her and Derek had talked about everything on their way back to her house

" ok fair enough so what else did you and Derek talk about?" he said thinking that they had been tighter for long time to simply be talking about her and Peter as he thought about how Derek had found them in bed together that morning

" yeah about that Derek asked me to…kick you back into your own bed rather than mine, I kind of never told him about our sleeping habits" she said chickening out of telling about South America since she was worried about his reaction

" I figured he would say something, thats why I left early this morning…I know this sounds stupid but I've missed my Ay" he said playing with one of her curls as he tried to tell him that she was back to normal and was better than ever

" I know I haven't been myself lately but I'm done with that… I think. Anyway I was thinking that we could do something to night to you know celebrate or something" she said letting out an nervous laugh as she tried to ask him out

" sure we can go to the movies or roller blading" he said sensing that they would probably needed to talk about things as he thought about how he loved the fact she was nervous about asking him out like they were when they first dated

" great because there's something I need to tell you or you know talk to you about" she said as she began to get more nervous and anxious when she thought of telling him about South America and that she was going to meet Core who he already knew

" ok but we should get back before Coach comes to find us" he said giving one more kiss before they held each others hand as they headed back to the field for practice where Aylee distracted Coach with her plans so he didn't give them into trouble


After school and practice, Aylee told Stiles a small lie by telling him that Derek had asked her to come to his loft so that he could teach some calming techniques so she was going to ride her bike there but in reality she was going to ride her bike to the graveyard to where she had recently found out her mom's headstone was. She made a stop along the way to the nearest flower shop so that she could take some sunflowers to her headstone, since she didn't know a lot about her mom including her favourite flower she decided to go with hers instead. As soon as she got near the graveyard she got off her bike and decided to chain it up at the gate as she headed inside to find her mom's headstone that was a simple grey stone with a symbol that she recognised as the Geogieva family sign along with her whole name which was Katrina Anna Geogieva, she noticed that it mentioned the fact that she was a wife, a daughter, a sister and a mother on it too. Aylee gently placed the flowers down at the base of the headstone as she sat in front of it

" so I know that I'm technically not talking to you because you're not dead or buried here but this is as close as I can get to actually talking you. I didn't know why you faked your death whether it was because of my dad or someone else but I know when someone is hiding. Part of me wants to hate you for all of this but the other part of me can't because your still my mother" she said as tears began to fall down her cheek as she started to feel silly for crying and talking to someone who would never know about this small moment, she was so focused on her mom's headstone that she didn't noticed the person near by

" hey you ok? you're Scott McCall's sister right, Aylee?" Brett said gently as he walked towards since he knew that it wasn't in him to walk away from a crying girl, although being in a graveyard he could understand why she was crying

" yeah I'm fine, I had something I had to get off my chest… wait why are you here?" she said before realising how insensitive it was of her to ask as she began to think about everyone he had lost during the deadpool

" I was visiting Carrie's grave's, I felt bad that no one had really visited it….is this your mom's? wasn't she on the deadpool list?" he asked remembering seeing the name as the more he looked at it the more it seemed familiar to him

" thats sweet of you and she was, its a long story but the key facts are that she faked her death during childbirth" she said as she got up from the ground as her and Brett began to head towards the exit of the graveyard

" wow so you're complicated even during your down time" he said realising that the time he had actually spent time with her was when she had went with him to the animal clinic when he was poisoned with the yellow wolfsbane

" seers don't really have downtime or at least this one doesn't between school and whatever supernatural threat rises" she said knowing that the longest she had ever gotten between threats was a month or two if that

" yeah living in Beacon Hills is not ideal for supernatural people like us little seer" he said thinking about what Satomi had told him about the Nemeton and how their group had decided to resurrect it to save their parents

" little seer? what does that make you my little beta wolf?" she said being nice since he was a generally a nice person as she knew what he had done to help Liam through his fear during the game where Stiles, Kira and Scott had been missing

" I guess it does… you struggle more than the others don't? I mean with your abilities and the after effect" he said sensing that she had been through more any of them could ever guess, although he knew some but not all of her story

" yeah I do and I don't think that it helps that I spent years thinking I was crazy, sorry I can't really talk about it with the others" she said realising that she was getting things off her chest that she didn't even know were there

" well if you ever need to talk…here's my number, call and we can talk about whatever including boys" he said as he took a pen from his backpack as he wrote his number down on a scrap piece of paper as she gave him a smile


Later that night Aylee outside of the McCall house as she waited on Stiles to pick her up as she began to think of different ways of telling him everything that had been going on lately including South America, although soon she saw the familiar headlight of Stiles old beaten but much loved jeep. They decided to go for something to eat so they could talk about thing, however Aylee still couldn't bring herself to ruin the moment and tell him that she wasn't going to be with him tomorrow night which was hard for to think about since they had barely been away from each other. After dinner Aylee asked if they could go up to the look point so that they could watch the night pass by for a while since she wasn't ready to go home yet so he drove them up there as he parked a safe distance from the edge. Stiles and Aylee sat on the hood of the jeep as they looked at the lights of Beacon Hills as he put his arm around her so that she was close to him as she could be with her head on his shoulder

" didn't you say that you had something to tell me?" he said remembering that she had mentioned something earlier under the bleachers as well as knowing that she had been experiencing high levels of anxiety and nervousness

" yeah so I guess I should start with the lesser of two evils, I didn't go to Derek's after school today… I went to my mom's grave or whatever it is when the person isn't actually dead" she said knowing that this wasn't your every day kind of situation

" so why did you lie?" he asked thinking that it wasn't like her to lie to him about something as small as that, in fact he was pretty sure that neither of them had ever lied to each other

" I'm not even sure, I think its cause I knew you would come with me and its the kind of thing I needed to do my own, it was only way I could think of to deal with the whole " she said gathering of her hair and place it over of her right shoulder

" I get that but no more lies, if you need space then tell me that and I'll give you it" he told her knowing that he would give the world if she asked for it since she was his everything which sounded strange as they both so young

" ok and I need to know that this next thing isn't about that, it isn't about me needed space. Actually it wasn't even my idea" she said rambling a little since she knew that he needed to know that his girlfriend for leaving for two weeks

" slow down and breath… what wasn't your idea?" he said noticing that whatever she was about to say was the thing that she had been panicking and worrying about telling him all night

" I'm going with Derek to South America" she said in a small voice as she moved away from a little so that she could see his reaction as he looked away from lights of their town with a shocked look as he tried to get his head around it

" South America? is it because he found us together in your bed?" he said echoing her as he tried to think of way he could stop Derek from taking her away from him as he realised that it could be his fault

" no no of course it isn't, him and my mom agreed that this could be the best thing for me right now. To leave Beacon hills for a while and clear my head" she said as she felt her eyes beginning to fill with tears as she pulled her sleeves over her hands

" how long is a while?" he asked realising that she was purposely leaving out the time period as he had a feeling that was what was the real downfall of the trip rather than not being able to see each other

" two weeks… he wants me to meet Cora, I think its his way of showing me another side of our family that I haven't seen" she said knowing that it wasn't fair on the other members of her family to be painted with the same brush as Peter

" maybe it'll be good for you and Cora is…well she's basically a female version of Derek" he said trying to be positive about it for her sake as he tried to make her smile as he thought about the time Cora had spent in Beacon Hills

" so I've heard and yeah it might but it doesn't make it any easier to spend two weeks apart from you, I know normal couples spend time apart all the time but…" she said rambling a little as she tried to stop of herself thinking about sleeping alone

" but we're not normal, we never have been and probably never will be" he said giving her a small chuckle as he thought about how they had slept with each other after only meeting for the first time that day, although there was more to it than that

" true…do you think it would be ok if we stayed a little longer before going home?" she said leaning back into him as she realised that she wanted to just be close to him before she had to go away


The next day Aylee began to pack some of her clothes into her patchwork holdall while Stiles slept since she knew that if he was awake as she packed then she was more likely to decided to stay, after she finished packing her holdall away she began to get her backpack ready for the flight as she put her laptop and its accessories into it as well as some books to read on the plane. Aylee decided to dress for comfort for the long flight since it was little over a eleven hour flight. She wore a plain white tank top, a bright orange knitted hoodie, jeans and brown detailed combat boots. She decided to braid her to the one side so that it was neat and tidy while also a little stylish, her eye makeup dark brown with a defined black eyeliner that seemed to make up for her simple natural dark pink looking lipstick. By the time she was ready Stiles was just waking up as he decided that he would rather say goodbye to her at the airport and spend more time with her than say goodbye at her house, that was why Stiles drove her in his jeep rather than Derek or Melissa taking her. However before either of them realised it it was time to say their goodbyes

"these are for take off and landing because I know you've never been on a plane and I was worried about your ears popping" Melissa said holding a small bag filled with lollipops and hard boiled sweets as she went into full mom mode

" thanks I didn't know that they did that, although I think about it makes sense" she said giving her a small laugh as she took the bag from her and put it into her backpack which was going with her onto the plane rather than baggage like her holdall

"yeah and it can be too, also I put in a basic but well equipped first aid kit into your holdall and some other essentials" she said since she wasn't sure whether to not she would be able to get them while she was there

" thanks, I promise to call as much as I can and let you know that I'm ok" she said knowing that Melissa would worry about her as she had come to think and treat Aylee as if she was her own daughter ever since she had taken her in

" its ok if you don't, I've made Derek promise that he will" she said giving Derek a knowing smile since that had been part of their agreement they had come up with when he had asked to take her away for two weeks

" I still think it sucks that Cora couldn't come here rather than you having to go to her" Scott said knowing that he was going to miss the girl that had become his sister since they were pretty much always around each other

" yeah but I think the point is to take me out of Beacon Hills for a while, not to add to the supernatural" she said knowing that Derek probably didn't ask her to come to them, plus there was the complication of leaving her pack behind

" what if something happens and we need you?" he said knowing that she was an important of their gang since her vision and other abilities had always been a key part of discovering the mystery

" then call me and I'll get on the first flight back to home ok? just tell me that you're going to miss me and give me a hug" she said knowing that Scott was showing rare worrying side rather than dealing with her not being around all the time like she was

" I am going to miss you, you know that… I mean who else is going to come in my bedroom at three in morning just to talk?" he said making both of them smile since it had become a habit of theirs

" there's always Stiles, actually I can of see you to be more girlie than I am… you know painting your toenails and talk about boys" she said mocking how close him and Stiles were as they had been friends since birth pretty much

" why don't we just give you guys a minute?" Derek said noticing how quiet Stiles was being for someone that never seemed to shut up, he could tell that this hard for both them since they were avoiding looking at each other

" so do we say goodbye or some version of it or what?" she said realising that they were both keeping their distance as if it was hard to be close to the other only to have to separate for the next two weeks

" I don't want to say goodbye, it seems too final… just don't have too much fun ok?" he said as he played with her braid as he tried to avoid saying the phrase ' have fun' since he knew it was basically code for we're not exclusive or not serious

" without you? how could I?…I have computer with me so we can Skype and we call each all the time, I actually think you might get sick of me" she said trying to cheer him since she knew that both of their hearts were temporarily breaking

" never…just be careful ok? and remember that who you are" he said worried that she might be overload with the Haleness of the family reunion and become more like Cora or Derek than she already was and less like the girl he loved

" don't worry, for once I actually know who I am… you know that I have filter over my eyes when it comes to other guys right?" she said trying to subtly let him know that she wasn't interested in any other guys than him

" yeah of course I do… god I'm going to miss you so much" he said as gently tugged on her braid to bring her close as he pulled in for a slightly hungry and desperate kiss as they tried to make the most of the time they had left

"ummm guys, I'm sorry to interrupt but Ay we need to go and catch our flight" Derek said interrupted their kiss which he felt bad about despite his early views about Stiles and his younger cousin that was more like his sister or daughter

" yeah ok I'll just be a minute… I love you like so much its ridiculous" she said almost breathless as they leaned against each others forehead with Stiles's arms around her waist that their bodies were as close as they could get

" I love you too like so much it hurts sometimes…" he said seeing that he wasn't the only one with tears in his eyes as he could see a faint trail of tears running down her cheeks as he gently rubbed them away as they shared one last kiss

As Aylee joined Derek as he pulled her into a hug as they boarded their plane, Stiles stood at the window so that he could watch her plane take off. He was so focused on her and plane that he didn't realised that Scott and Melissa had joined him
