…
"Élan stop." Isaac groaned walking behind his boyfriend. Granted, he could easily catch up with him but it wouldn't really help the situation.
The young mage huffed and continued to ignore Isaac as he walked down the street.
"Come on, this is ridiculous." Isaac said getting frustrated.
Apparently those had been the magic words because Élan immediately stopped after hearing them and turned to his lover.
"Ridiculous?" Élan repeated looking completely outraged. "The only thing that's ridiculous is how much you hate my dad."
"I don't hate your dad….much." Isaac muttered.
"You said you hope he gets run over by an eighteen wheeler." Élan stated angrily.
"Well…yes." Isaac said unrepentantly before putting on a huge smile. "But I said that out of love."
Élan narrowed his eyes and folded his arms in front of his chest.
"You know, killing someone because you love them?" Isaac said with a nervous grin hoping to get some kind of positive reaction out of Élan.
"Really? You couldn't come up with a better lie than that?" Élan questioned with a raised eyebrow. "Killing someone because you love them is just insane."
"I've heard that love makes you do crazy things." Isaac said with a shrug.
Sighing heavily, Élan went back to ignoring Isaac again.
"No, no, no." Isaac grabbed Élan by the arm and walked the two of them under a tree so they would have some privacy.
"Look, I'm sorry okay? I shouldn't have said that." Isaac said sitting down on the grass next to Élan.
"I just don't understand why you hate my dad so much." Élan said giving Isaac one of those pitiful looks that the werewolf just couldn't resist.
Isaac sighed and looked away for a brief moment. "I don't know there is just something about him that I just can't stand. There's like an air of danger around him."
"Let me guess, your werewolf senses start tingling around him?" Élan joked folding his arms once again.
Happy that Élan didn't seem to be angry with him anymore, the curly haired werewolf grinned and wrapped his arm around the young mage's waist.
"You could say that," Isaac said giving him a small kiss to the neck, "but I think it also has something to do with my dad."
Isaac could feel Élan stiffen in front of him but he didn't stop talking. "There are just too many things about your father that remind me of mine. Sure, he is calmer than my dad but I still can't help but feel cautious around him."
Élan really didn't know what he could say to that. On the one hand, he did feel the need to defend his father and say that he doesn't act like Isaac's abusive father. However, he has neither met Isaac's father nor does he really know the complexities of abuse so he can't really prove Isaac wrong.
"You always find a way to make me feel multiple things at the same time." Élan grumbled putting his hand on top of his Isaac's
Isaac shifted Élan's body so they were facing each other.
"I know, it's one of my favorite pastimes." Isaac whispered before attaching his lips to Élan's.
Élan moaned softly and wrapped his arms around Isaac's neck as they kissed. Isaac gently lowered his lover onto the grass and hovered over him.
They both groaned when they heard Élan's phone buzz suddenly.
"Ignore it, I'm not done with you." Isaac muttered while biting at Élan's throat.
"I want to at least check and see who it is." Élan said through his moans as he pulled out his phone. "It's from my dad."
"So?" Isaac scoffed continuing with his ministrations.
"He wants me to go to your house so he can pick me up. He says it's really important." Élan said with a raised eyebrow.
Isaac stopped what he was doing and looked down at his lover in confusion. "I thought you said he was supposed to be at a meeting today."
"I did." Élan said staring down at his phone. "There is no way he could have gotten out of the meeting early and even if he did there would be no reason for him to want to pick me up."
"I guess this is just him being weird again." Isaac said under his breath. He looked away when Élan gave him a pointed look.
Élan put his phone away and gave Isaac a quick kiss on the cheek. "Well, I guess I'll see you later."
"I'll walk with you." Isaac quickly stated. "I have to get something from my room anyway."
Élan eyed his boyfriend suspiciously before he nodded. He allowed Isaac to wrap a possessive arm around him as they walked to Derek's house together.
Something was definitely going to happen, Isaac could just feel it in his bones.
…
Humming to himself and lying casually in a field, Gen looked completely at peace with himself.
"It's a beautiful day, the kind of day where nothing can go wrong." Gen said with a sigh as he looked up at the sky.
"The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, a strange shadowy man just appeared and is staring at me." Gen said casually.
True enough, standing not that far away from Gen, was a man cloaked in darkness. All you could see was the outline of this man's body, the rest of him was pure black.
"My old friend, I've been waiting for you." Gen grinned taking of his sunglasses and staring right back at the strange man.
Gen was practically shaking in anticipation. This was it, this was the thing that had been chasing him down and trying to kill him for all these years. This is actually the closest he's gotten to him but that's only because of how ridiculously powerful this thing is.
"I nicknamed you Shadow, I think it fits you." Gen yelled out to him.
Shadow just continued to stare back at him silently.
"Not much of a talker I see, you never have been." Gen said with a shrug as he stood up and wiped the dirt off his pants. "It doesn't matter though."
With a wave of his hand, Gen picked up Shadow with his powers and flung him into the forest.
"Because I'm going to kill your family murdering ass right now." Gen smirked darkly while he cracked his knuckles.
…
"I wish I could stop you from doing things I thought might put you in danger." Isaac declared with a pout. He had been trying to convince Élan that something might be up with this emergency call his dad sent him but the young mage refused to listen to him.
Élan chuckled and looped his arm with Isaac's. "You influence me enough, you're my sex beast. Remember?"
Isaac grinned and nuzzled his cheek with Élan's. With his eyesight he was able to see a bright blue crystal on Derek's porch as they came up to the house.
How did Dover get that there without any of us knowing? Isaac wondered to himself.
"Do you want to come home with me?" Élan asked. Isaac gave him a dry look. "Right, stupid question."
Before either of them could get to the crystal something crashed in front of them.
"What the hell?" Isaac hissed standing in front of Élan protectively.
"Gen?" Élan said as he looked up in the sky and saw his cousin float down beside them.
"What's up little cousin?" Gen greeted watching as Shadow slowly got out of the crater that he made.
Élan eyes widened "I think I recognize that thing from one of my dad's books. That's the -"
"Thing that's been fucking with our family all these years." Gen breathed staring dead at the mysterious being.
Shadow looked at Gen before turning to Élan. The young mage trembled in fear as he was caught in its unwavering gaze.
"We should call for help." Élan suggested averting his gaze away from the creature and reaching for his phone.
"No need, I got this." Gen stated creating a ball of light and hurling it at the being in front of him.
Shadow didn't move an inch as the blast approached him. The second the attack came at the creature it was absorbed into his body.
"It absorbs magic?" Élan asked with his eyes widened.
Gen nodded grimly. He knew that it was going to do that. "This thing hasn't changed at all. Good thing I know just how to deal with him."
Creating a ball of light once again, Gen channeled the power into his fists and charged at the being.
"This guy is going to get himself killed." Isaac stated with a raised eyebrow.
Élan nodded getting his phone out and calling up his cousin.
"Talk to me." Stiles said when he answered his phone. He seemed to be very calm and collected at the moment.
"There's this thing doing things to your brother while he tries to do his thing." Élan blurted out.
"Talk to me coherently Élan." Stiles said pointedly.
Élan sighed giving himself a minute to collect his thoughts. "Your brother is fighting some weird shadow like thing. Gen said this creature is the one that's been causing so much trouble for our family."
"It's the one that started a fire in my house?" Stiles questioned sharply.
"I'd assume so, yes." Élan said.
Stiles could be heard talking to someone else briefly. "I'll be there in five minutes. Can you call up my dad and Deaton?"
"Sure." Élan said before hanging up and doing just what his cousin asked him to do.
"Uncle John? It's Élan, Gen is fighting with the thing that-"
Élan hissed as his phone was knocked out of his hand and broken against a tree.
Shadow glared over at him with his arm still stretched out from where he fired his projectile.
Isaac growled and ran over to the creature, his claws were extended and ready for battle.
"Stop!" Gen said picking up Isaac with his powers and making him float above the ground so he couldn't attack Shadow.
"You can't just fight this thing without a plan." Gen stated sternly looking at Élan and Isaac. "If you don't watch yourself you'll be captured by it."
Shadow held his hand out as he elongated his arm, he seemed to be targeting Élan.
Gen swore before setting Isaac down and running toward Shadow's arm.
"Élan!" Isaac shouted before picking himself up and running toward his lover.
Élan gasped before throwing his hand down to the ground and creating a wall using his alchemy.
This move proved to be pointless as Shadow was easily able to punch through the wall and grab the young mages neck.
With a fierce yell, Gen karate chopped the stretched out arm right in the middle hoping to break his connection to his cousin. This attack didn't seem to have any effect on the creature however.
Isaac came at Shadow with everything he had pelting him with punch after powerful punch. Shadow didn't even glance at Isaac while he took all of his hits. Every punch Isaac hit him with put a dent in Shadow's body for a brief second before his skin shifted back to normal.
Though it was a struggle to do so, Élan was able to put his hands around the arm Shadow was choking him with. He concentrated and used his anti-healing spell to cause a terrible burning sensation to travel through Shadow's body.
The spell seemed to work because Shadow stopped choking him. However, before he moved his arm back, Shadow delivered a swift punch to Élan's jaw which sent him flying backwards and into the woods.
Isaac's eyes widened in concern when he saw his lover get hit so hard. He was so distracted that he didn't notice Shadow's hand come up and punch him right in Élan's direction.
Gen narrowed his eyes when he saw Shadow face him yet again.
"You want to get rid of me first?" Gen said with dark grin on his face.
Shadow answered him by stretching his leg out in order to kick Gen.
Luckily, Gen was quick on his feet and was just able to dodge said attack. When Shadow tried to pull his leg back Gen grabbed at it.
"I know that you have some weird kind of spells but I have a surprise for you." Gen smirked channeling his assault magic all around his body thus surrounding himself with his own energy.
He pushed Shadow's leg away and charged at him. With an extreme amount of power, Gen punched the creature a good ways back making him stumble on his feet.
"I'll match you trick for trick." Gen stated confidently. "I'm going to be just as invincible as you are."
Shadow looked at Gen with something that could be thought of as a glare. Extending his arms, he unleashed a wall of water and pushed it forward.
With a powerful swipe of his hand, Gen was able to block the attack.
"That's not good enough anymore." Gen said smugly as he charged and proceeded to attack the dark creature.
Groggily, Isaac regained consciousness. His eyes shifted around when he remembered what was going on.
"Élan? Élan?" Isaac said frantically searching for his boyfriend.
In the corner of his eye, the curly haired werewolf spotted something in the tree Élan's now broken phone was under.
Isaac walked over and picked the object out of the tree and examined it. The werewolf almost dropped the object when he saw what it was.
Stricken with grief, Isaac stared at Shadow and Gen who were still fighting. Thousands of thoughts ran through his mind while he stood stiffly still.
"Isaac?" Élan groaned as he stood up and walked over to the werewolf. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." Isaac grunted as he discreetly slipped the object in his hand into his pocket.
Élan's clenched his fists as he caught sight of Shadow, the being that has been terrorizing his family. A surge of passion ran through his veins as he felt himself getting braver by the second.
"I have to help him." Élan said determinedly.
Isaac held his hands out blocking Élan from moving forward.
"You should run and get help." Isaac insisted.
Élan furrowed his brow in confusion. "What do you mean? I already called Stiles, he's on his way."
Isaac shook his head. "And he should have been here by now, something might have happened to him and the rest of the pack. You should go and check."
"What are you talking about?" Élan demanded. "I'm not going to run and get help while another member of my family fights this horrible creature."
"Élan…"
"No." Élan proclaimed before running past Isaac without a second thought.
"Élan don't!" Isaac pleaded desperately. He almost tripped over himself as he went to follow his lover.
Gen and Shadow seemed to be at a standstill, neither side seemed to be winning or losing this fight. That was until Shadow made a glowing hexagon appear which he used to unleash a huge blast of fire at Gen.
The mage cried out in pain as he was blasted back by the powerful flames. While his powers protected him from most of the blast, Gen could feel them slowly starting to drain due to him being hit by such a powerful attack.
Shadow dashed forward, ready to take another hit at Gen, when a gigantic blast of blue energy hit him in his back.
"Hey guys!" Stiles exclaimed waving at all of them enthusiastically. He was on Derek's back as the Alpha wolf ran toward them. Scott was steadily keeping up with his Alpha.
"What are you doing here? This is my fight!" Gen growled not wanting his little brother getting in the middle of this.
Stiles scoffed as he jumped off of Derek's back. "Shut up, whether I like it or not, we are family and we have to fight this thing together."
"You're not the only one this thing is threatening." Derek growled right back at his old friend. After hearing about the curse on the Stilinski family, he knew that it would only be a matter of time before this thing came after Stiles. Derek was not going to allow whatever this thing was to lay a hand on him.
"Right." Élan said with a nod as he stood beside them.
All of their eyes widened when they saw Shadow absorb the massive amount of energy that Stiles sent his way.
"Wow, he's like an evil sponge." Stiles said with a raised eyebrow.
"He absorbs any kind of attack you send his way." Gen informed all of them. "It doesn't matter if it's magic or not, nothing seems to affect him, at least from what I've seen."
Stiles narrowed his eyes and looked down at his pants pocket where the black box his grandfather gave him was. He brought it with him just to be safe but it was debatable whether he would have to use that for this fight.
Shadow made a glowing hexagon appear again and created not just fire, but water and wind to attack all of them with.
Stiles moved forward in an attempt to the block the attack only for Gen to pull him back and make him duck for cover.
Gen knew good and well that trying to use magic to shield yourself from any attack from this creature was absolutely pointless.
"Élan!" Isaac shouted as he ran and pushed them both down. The two of them had barely missed getting hit by the massive attack.
"Wow, this guy is packing some serious heat." Scott groaned as he slowly stood up and eyed the shadowy creature.
Stiles shook his head. He was about to stand up himself but his eyes were drawn to something that he saw fall out of Isaac's pocket when he dived down with Élan.
It was a blue crystal, shining and twinkling on the ground.
