Thank you all your reviewing/following/favouriting or by sending me pms so please keep that up, I like hearing what you think good or bad .You can also see Aylee's outfits via the link on the bottom of the chapter since I'm aware of the link on my profile doesn't work like I wanted it to
Chapter 25: Damnatio Memoriae
After the sheriff had woken enough to to comfort his son and be checked by Dr Geyer to make sure that everything was back to how it should be now that the piece of Noah's bone was out before he was order by Stiles and Dr. Geyer to get more rest, while Stiles sat watching him sleep as he quietly but obsessively thought over every detail from his dream interaction with Aylee for signs of what was happening to her in Eichen however apart from her two broken nails and pale skin that was clearly from lying on the cold ground the night before he couldn't see anything to help him. Despite his best efforts Stiles soon fell asleep in his chair by his dad's bed before he was woken by the familiar sound of Aylee's laughter to find the room empty, as he looked around the room he also noticed that his dad was missing from his bed as Stiles decided to see where he had gotten to. However he soon regretted once he found his dad in the morgue looking down at Donovan's body that had been recently discovered, once Stiles had collected his courage he decided to walk into the room.
" the story Theo told me about the library, that's how it happened expect it didn't happen to him" the sheriff said trying to piece together the small pieces that he had of what happened to Donovan
" yeah" Stiles said not knowing what else he could add since he knew that Theo had told him the truth about what happened in the library expect for who was responsible as Aylee had overheard
" Stiles I can't protect you if I don't the truth, did you really feel like you couldn't tell me?" He asked feeling more hurt by the fact Stiles kept this from him than the fact he had accidentally killed him
" I couldn't tell anyone...Aylee was different, she knew something was wrong" he said trying to explain why Aylee had been the only one apart from Theo that knew what happened to Donovan
" why? Did you really think I wouldn't believe it was self defence?" He asked trying to understand why theses two teenagers had decided to this alone with a bad guy rather than his dad
" what if it wasn't? What if I told you I wanted him dead?" he asked thinking about the Eichen group session what Ms Morrell had said during a group session in Eichen about how a sociopath was someone who didn't feel guilty
" I'd believe you, I also believe that wanting someone dead and murdering them is two very different things" he said reminding Stiles of something that Aylee had said the different emotions
" well what if the judge doesn't think so?" He said thinking how much things had changed in the last few day where he had been worried about what his dad might think or do to him
" then to hell with then judge, Stiles it was self defence and I would destroy every shred of evidence if I had to. I would burn down the whole sheriff's station to the ground" he said showing his fierce instincts to protect his son, surprising Stiles since he had been thinking the worst
" what about up holding the law? What about Kira?" Stiles asked knowing that his dad had been blocking their attempts to investigate what was going on or helping them protect the supernatural
" Kira was a mistake, I guess I'm learning how to bend" he said smiling gently at the reference to a previous conversation they had had after Tracy had been found half transformed and missing a tail
" so what? It just goes away?" He asked finding it hard to believe since it had always been at the back of his mind, he also knew the system well enough to know that people were always caught
" not for you, problem now is how to be bury this burden. This kind of thing is not uncommon in law enforcement, a feral mistake... A partner dies or gets paralysed" he said looking at Donovan's body as he thought about the night that his father had been paralysed while he was a deputy
" so what happens?" He said wanting to know more about how his father had coped with the guilt of knowing that something had happen to other person due to a fault or tough decision they made
"sometimes you carry that with but sometimes it never truly feels ok until there's a kind of counter balance" he told him knowing that was how he coped with being sheriff and with being a dad
" like what?" Stiles said as he gave his dad a strange look as he tried to work out what his dad meant as he began thinking what counter balance could ever make killing someone ok
" like instead of taking a life you managed to save one, something like that can help maybe for only a moment" he said trying to explain that he needed to enjoy the small moments in life
" it can't be that simple" he said looking down at Donovan's body as he remembered that awful moment when he had realised that he had been impaled as the library became silent and still
" The real conflict you're having now is between your head and your heart. Your head knows the only crime you committed was surviving but your heart still thinks it was murder. I guess you've got to get your heart to catch up to your head." He told him using his hand to gesture to the different body parts as referenced them as Stiles considered his words
" I feel like it's more than guilt, I feel like I lost something and I can't get it back" he said thinking about how he had now lost both Aylee and Scott like he had told Theo that he would
" you won't, not entirely but you get a little by forgiving yourself. That's not always the easiest thing in the world then maybe you start by forgiving someone else, someone who probably really needs it" he said subtly letting him know that he knew a little of what had been going on lately
" someone like Scott? There's more water under that bridge than just this" he said thinking about the other factors in his anger toward Scott like Theo and Aylee which he knew wasn't totally fair
Scott decided to head to Lydia's house to ask for help with the strange creature caught on camera after killing a technician, he knew that her mom was keeping her in as she was angry when she found out that she had discharged herself to help them find Noah. He knew that he couldn't ask Stiles for his help after what happened the day before especially now that Aylee was back in Eichen, he figured that he would leave him with his dad rather than forcing him to help which could easily lead into a fight. However he noticed something off about the amount of the heartbeats in the house and the speed they were going at, as he knocked the door to see Lydia already opening it before closing it behind her.
" you didn't need to come here" she said uncharacteristically cold as she tried to stop him peering into the door or through the window which were all blocked as the curtains were drawn
" you weren't answering your phone" he said knowing that she practically had her phone to glue to her majority of the time which only adding to the weirdness of the situation
" I can't up help you, no right now... There's something I need to do" she said eyeing the door slightly as she unconsciously rubbed the back of her neck where Theo's claw marks were
" what if I told you that you're the only one I have left?" He said leaning against her porch as he thought about how he would go to his sister or his best friend for help on the supernatural
" get that I do but trust me when I say you're not going to want my help" she said looking down at her shoes as she thought about the things she was about to get herself involved in willingly
" Lydia I know you've been through a lot and I know you blam-" he said before she cut him off since she knew where he was going with this little speech of his as he tried to convince her to help
" blame myself for Aylee? Of course I do, all I think can about all the things Aylee can't do because she's in Eichen for me" she said getting more and more upset as she realised she owed her this
" I told you she knew what she was doing and why she did it, you don't need to feel guilty" he said trying to get through to her that Aylee was more than capable of making her own decisions
" but I do and I need time to do whatever without questions or help, this is something I need to for her and me in my own " she said knowing that Scott and Stiles would disapprove of her mission
" is that why do I hear to other heartbeats in there or why is yours beating so fast?" He asked letting her own that he knew something out of the ordinary was going on inside of her house
" Scott please don't ok? Just go home, I can't help you" she said waiting till he left before she headed inside where Braeden currently had a Russian solider tied up to a chair for questioning
Aylee had been left in her own pretty much since she had arrived at Eichen house except for when the orderlies would come in to give her whatever drugs that they were subduing her with to make her less of a threat to them since they all knew about her supernatural status this time, it gave her time to get used to the blank walls and emptiness of Eichen again. She was laying on the bed dressed in dark teal sweats, a grey tshirt with rolled up sleeves,a dark teal ombré knitted jumper, green spotted socks and light grey sparkled slippers. She wore her long wavy ombré locks in high ponytail, she looked much more like the girl she used to be between her blank expression and no make up face. She wasn't even aware that anyone had entered the room until she had a gasp of shock although she assumed it was just an orderly coming to drug her again.
" oh god I so wished that it wasn't true and you weren't here again,Aylee?...Ay?...I don't know what happened out there to get you like this but come on baby girl you need to wake up and talk, even a sarcastic comment will do" Peter said wearing his own version of the hospital approved clothes as he kneeled in front of his daughter as he gently stroked her hair in an attempt to comfort her
Back at the hospital Stiles had convinced his that he should go back to bed since he was still recovering from Noah's attack as they continued to talk about everything they had been keeping from each other, in Stiles's case he talked about the memory that resurfaced about his mom and everything that had been going with Aylee like her visions, her connection to the Dread Doctors and how she had checked into Eichen. Soon Stiles decided to go and get some snacks for them since his dad was demanding real food, however as he was at the vending machines he noticed the paramedics bring in a body which made his head back to his dad's room to investigate.
" is that my laptop?" The sheriff said as he tried to get more comfortable in his hospital bed as he turned to see Stiles tapping away on his computer completely engrossed in whatever he was up to
" yeah" Stiles said not even looking up from the screen to look at his dad and showing no sign of hesitation or anything other than confidant as he continued to look into the technician's death
" do you have my password?" He asked wondering why he was even bothering when he knew that his son had more of a flare of investigating everything and knowing everything despite privacy
" I have all your passwords, you know they brought in another body from last night?" He said before telling his dad about the body that joined the already high body count in the town
" yeah I was hoping you wouldn't find out, give me my damn computer!" He said trying to grab his computer for him at the same time that he moved the computer away from his dad's reach
" hang on, hang on...there's some footage missing, there's something in the footage" he said watching as he realised it had been tampered with to hide the strange creature shown in the video
" I think there's something missing in your head" he said trying again to take his computer from his as he realised how much Aylee seemed to keep his son from getting involved in every little thing
" you need your rest" he said giving him his computer as Stiles decided that he needed to start finding out what the Dread Doctors had created now so that he could get rid of it and them
Aylee knew that she should be shocked or nervous by the fact that her father had sneaked into her room to see whether or not the rumours about the last seer being admitted into the sixth floor were true, even more so that he was worried about her since the majority of the times where Peter had shown real concern or emotion for her was when things were really bad or when he had some underlining motive. As she lay on her bed she heard a tapping noise as if someone was tapping their fingers in some kind of rhythm as she decided to get up to explore only to realise that both her and her body was still laying bed as she followed the noise down the hall into an old abandoned bathroom to find her father used his claws to tap against the bath
" I thought that would get your attention" Peter said to her as she realised that she was somewhat back to normal as she covered her hands with the sleeves of her knitted jumper that was so cosy
" the question is why do you want to it? Actually how am I here, did I astro-project again?" She asked wondering how her body was still in her room but some part of her was here with him
" no, your powers are on mute right now but due to our unique father daughter bond a piece of you still came to me" he said letting her know that it wasn't as powerful as her powers or astro-projection
" ok let's pretend that made sense, why do you want me here?" She asked already on the defence as she tried to make sense of all this while pretending to be strong as she used to be
" what the hell happened to you? Why you would come back here?" He said getting more angry at her since this was the last thing that he wanted for especially after he had experienced it
" it's a long story involving Dread Doctors and chimeras and bad betas" she said sweeping her fringe so that it was behind her ear as she tried not to think about what was happening outside
" well then shorten it for me" he said leaning against for the bath as he suddenly become tense and serious when she mentioned the Dread Doctors as he remembered Katrina talking about them
" the Dread Doctors are messing with the laws of nature to create these supernatural hybrids" she said explaining about the Dread Doctors and the chimeras thinking that was easy to start with
" I know who they are, they use a fraction of Geogieva magic... Is that why you're here?" He asks standing up slowly since he knew that them being around her would have an effect on her
" no that would be due to Theo, he's a chimera that joined the pack and memory tapped Lydia so I did a little magic of my own hence why I'm the one who's catatonic" she said showing him the back of her neck since she knew that he wouldn't believe it wasn't her
" but now you're in here while Scott and Stiles sit on their hands doing nothing?" He asked outraged as he thought about how they're first move should to break her out of here
" Scott and Stiles have bigger things to worry about me, I actually I think might be safer in here" she said looking at one of the blacked window as she thought about the Le bete out there
" that isn't true, Valack is interested in you and that's not a good thing" he said talking about his former cell mate as he thought about the things he had seen when he had looks into his eye
" I know, I've seen him talking to me about things and...experimenting on me" she said looking away from him as she remembered feeling the pain in her head from that particular vision
" which is all the more reason to get you out of here!" He said grabbing her by the arms as he tried to make her see sense, that being in a place where she couldn't defend herself wasn't ok
" I can't! Not when there's something that I can do in here to help them out there" she said knowing that by being in this place she was going to get more answers than Scott or Stiles
Stiles kept thinking about what his dad had said about forgiving someone who really needs it if he couldn't forgive himself what he had done to Donovan then he thought about what Scott had said the day before about all of the enemies that they had faced before and defeated, he knew that the one thing in common each of those victories had was that Scott and Stiles had faced them together united rather than fighting each other like they were right now which was why they were currently losing. So he decided to go to the McCall house to offer an olive branch to him as he tried not to think about Aylee as he avoided going into her room filled with her things or even looking at the stairs that lead up to her attic bedroom
" hey... You still not healing?" Stiles asked as he leaned against the bathroom door connected to Scott's bedroom as he watched him clean his wound from Liam before bandaging it up
" no, it's just taking a little longer... What are you doing here?" He asked since it was the last place that Scott would have thought he would go due his fight with him and the Aylee thing
" you heard about the guy that got killed out by the communication towers right? I might have figured something out" he said trying not to notice the look of shock on Scott's face
" and you want my help?" He said remembering how he had attacked him when he had spotted him in the hall in the hospital and how he had barely talked to him when they were finding Noah
" yeah well you said you could find the clues that I can right? We need to solve this to get her back" he said not looking at him, he didn't need to say her for him to know who he meant
" and we will so what you got?" He asked knowing that there was no question about whether or not they were going to get Aylee out of Eichen but more of a question of when
" here take a look, this is when the technician first went in then deputy Clark goes in and something really big and really fast comes out, now comes Clark, eventually the technician's body is brought up by the paramedics " He said using his phone to show Scott the footage
" ok, what am I missing?" He said trying to figure out what Stiles was getting at that he clearly wasn't getting, he knew in a instant this was the kind of moment that he needed Aylee for
" two people go in and three people come out, I checked the entire footage not a single person goes in before the technician. So where does that something really big and really fast come from?" He said trying to explain his theory to Scott as he watched him slowly getting the idea
" there's another way in" he said realising that was the only way to explain how something that big came from since the Dread Doctors clearly wanted to keep it secret until the right moment
Stiles and Scott then decided to take the suv to the telecommunications tower where the technician had been killed so that they could explore the tunnel system underneath to see where the newest creature had entered the underground system while Stiles decided to use the flashlight on his phone to light up on their way. Soon they found a blood trail that abruptly stopped underneath a large metal piece of equipment as Stiles turned to Scott
" you see that?" He asked wanting to make sure that they were on the same page and we were seeing the fact that some of the blood been cleaned up a grate underneath the piece of equipment
" I see blood" he said looking at him as if silently telling him that he was the smart one and the one that always figured out things quicker due to his knack for investigating everything
" look where it's leads" he said shining his light onto the equipment as Scott tried to lift it but began to struggle showing that his alpha powers were still suffering as Stiles helped lift it up
Elsewhere Aylee was still Peter as he decided to change his method of trying to wake her up and convince her that she had get herself out of there as soon as she could by showing her what was currently happening in her room with catatonic body that was still in the unmoved position that she had been in since she had arrived. She knew that she couldn't trust anything that her father said since she knew from experience that what he said and did are two very different things like he had said he loved her but then poisoned her to stop her powers getting his way. When they got to her room she saw that nurse Cross began to wave and snap her fingers in front of her as if trying to tempt her into moving
" you know I remember you from your stay and you don't think that I don't remember that black eye you gave after pulling this trick" she said as Peter gave her side look silently asking her
" oh I kneed her in the face, she was trying to strain me while I pretended to be asleep" she said explaining her remark, she knew that nurse Cross had many things to hold against her
" that's my girl" he said proudly as he realised that she had been trying to prevent her from touching her since she had very little control when she had been in Eichen house the last time
" I know when patients are pretending or manipulating to get what they want thanks to you" she said to her low and menacing as Aylee rolled her eyes at her since she knew the truth of it all
" ok now she's just over exaggerating" she said knowing that she had been a little challenging due to her violent tendencies whenever she would try to prevent someone from touching her
" you're not getting of here this time, someone as dangerous as you they can keep you here for the rest of your life" she said as Aylee felt herself tense at her words as it was one of her fears
" did you hear that, for the rest of your life?! You need to wake up and get out of here!" He said to her trying to get her to see sense that this wasn't the right move for her now or ever
" I said I needed to be here not that I was planning on staying and why if I can't?" She asked knowing what it felt like to be in that mindless catatonic state that her body was still in
" then you won't be able to help you friends and they'll die without you, not to mention that you'll be stuck here" he said knowing that was something neither of them wanting for her
" how am I supposed to help them like this? Ok this might be my only way to do it" she asked wondering why it was always up to her to save the day especially now when she needed saved
" you learned how to fight didn't you? You learned control...kinda" he said remembering being in the Hale house as Derek taught her how to fight and defend herself after they had found her
" Yeah I guess but fighting and waking up from a catatonic state is a little different don't you think?" She said with a sarcastic tone as she tried to compare them to see what he was seeing
" the point is that you learned more than you think and faster than a normal person could have" he said trying to reinforce the fact that she wears different and unique more so for a seer
" ok still not seeing the connection" she said looking at him as she tried to work out what his game was here since she knew that he was always playing some angle or a bigger game
" the point is I can teach here, I can teach you things about your powers you didn't know, I can teach how to us them as a weapon" he said as she thought about how she had always feared of becoming the murderer that he was known for
" yeah I'm sure you could" she said slightly bitter as she looked down at her body as she almost willed herself to move or do something other than just lay there like nothing was important
Once Scott and Stiles had moved the piece of metal equipment together they had noticed that the grate had been torn open to reveal a set of ladder that led them down another set of tunnels which they began to explore to see where the strange creature had come from as Stiles continued to use his phone as a flashlight and a uv light as they founded a trail of mercury. Soon they noticed something strange on the floor that was only visible with the uv light rather than the normal flashlight.
" what is that?" Scott asking knowing that the two words defiantly weren't in English as he turned to Stiles since he knew that he was most likely know what was the words meant
" it looks like Latin" he said remembering that he had been able to pick up a few words up in Latin from all the research that Aylee liked to do on both side of family especially the Geogievas
" hold the light, I'll take a picture...Stiles hold the light still" he told him as he tried to take the picture of the words before the light began to slip away which made the words disappear
" ahhh...Scott behind you!" Stiles said falling to the ground after being scratched by Tracy's kanima venom as he was forced to Scott fight Tracy while Josh creeped into the fight
" ahhh!...urgh!" Josh said falling next due to Stiles after Scott had grabbed a hold of Tracy's kanima claws and gave her an electric shock and putting the venom into Josh's system
" sucks doesn't it" Stiles said in his typical Stiles sarcastic style as he suddenly fed up being the defenceless human in among some many different types of fierce supernatural creatures
" ok maybe they're not ready to take one on alpha especially one that can smell fear" Theo said aiming his last comment to Corey who didn't even try to fight Scott after he had sniffed him out
" he had fangs" Corey said as a way of explaining his reason for not taking a shot at Scott since he was still new to all things supernatural and clearly didn't have the same bad streak as them
" what did you do?" Scott asked knowing that this was the reason why Theo had memory tapped Lydia to find their location and why he had needed Aylee's powers to do something to them
" I found some new friends, I don't take rejection well" he said thinking about how Scott had kicked him out his pack, he tried not to think about how Aylee's memory wipe had failed on the chimeras
" hey Theo" Stiles said in the most casual tone he could muster while still laying on the floor paralysed while Corey and Tracy picked up their own paralysed pack member and left
" Stiles... You're going to leave here thinking that you need to worry about me but you're wrong" Theo said walking around so that he was facing Scott as he caused the floor to crack where the words were
" I'm finding it hard to believe you that your not a problem especially since your beta or whatever paralysed me" Stiles said from his place on floor as both teenagers looked at him
" we're actually on the same side now because that thing is what we need to worry about" he said pointing up above them as they all thought about the new creature running around
" we meaning us and what? Your pack of rejects?" Stiles said knowing that Scott would be too stunned to make a comment back where as he specialised in sarcastic comments
" your pack and mine, we're going to go back to school and pretend to we're normal teenagers but at night we're going to be fighting for our lives" Theo said making it clear that he was to Scott, alpha to alpha as he told them the plan till they defeated this new development
" what is it?" Scott asked finally finding his voice as he began to seriously rethink whether or not Theo was still the Dread Doctors's golden boy especially if he wasn't the successful chimera
" its not a chimera" he said thinking that if it was then he would probably recruit whoever it was into his pack since it would mean that his pack would defiantly be more powerful than Scott's
" it's just a kid underneath, just like us" Scott said believing he could still save whoever it was like he had tried to do the chimeras that had died before joining Theo's merry band of chimeras
" not anymore" Theo said knowing that whatever it was it was more than animal than human now, he gave them one last look before leaving in through the same way that he had appeared
Scott then went Stiles so that he could help him sit up by leaning him against the wall behind him, although Stiles was being getting the feeling back into his body which made him wonder you could ever build up a resistance to kanima venom as Scott sat beside him.
" he knew what it means and I don't even remember the words" Scott said looking down at the crack across the words as he couldn't help compare himself to Theo as felt that he paled in comparison
" Damnatio Memoriae, it means condemnation of memory. I think it also means that whatever the Dread Doctors created, whatever this last chimera is... It's not something new,qq I think it's something really old" Stiles said since he had been thinking about it while they had been talking as the words had looked familiar to him as he had read something similar in one of Aylee's books
" so they didn't create a new creature..." Scott said as he began to figure what Stiles had already guessed as he thought that this was what the Dread Doctors had been aiming for with their tests
" they resurrected one" Stiles said finishing his sentence for him as he realised that it still meant that this creature could be anything giving that Beacon Hills was a beacon for the supernatural
" we need help, if Theo has own pack now the we need ours. We have to get the others back" Scott said knowing that it was time to get his pack back together so they could with everything
" the others? You mean Kira who is currently battling a homicidal fox spirit inside of her, Lydia who is on her own secret mission, Aylee who is stuck in Eichen house again and Liam who almost killed you!" Stiles said knowing that getting the pack back together wasn't going to easy since it looked like it was beyond repair as he tried not to dwell on the fact that his girlfriend was in that place
" also known as our best friends" he said making realised that everything that had happened was because they had been apart rather than standing together as one unbeatable force of good
" ok how?" He said remembering all the times that they had came up with all sorts of plan that meant breaking laws like it was nothing since it was never a question if but more of when
" one by one" Scott said knowing that Aylee would have to be the last one that they got back since she would be their big plan and would have to snap out of it first as he draw a circle in the sand
"You're not seriously going to make me do it" he said knowing that he had always hated that stupid tattoo of his, even more so now that he was making it their pack symbol
" you're part of the pack right?" He said testing whether or not Stiles had really forgiven him for everything as part of him had been thinking throughout the day that it was another one time thing
" ok...we need to find Kira, I still hate that tattoo" Stiles said after drawing the other circle before Scott helped him onto his feet since the venom paralytic had almost completely left his system
" I know" Scott said as they walked out of the tunnel system as he remembered the time that they had gone to the tattoo parlour just for the tattoo to heal itself when Stiles admitted he hated it
