"SCOTT! Listen to me! Why can't you see that he's using us! He has a double motive and I'm sure of it, cross my heart and hope to die!" I yell as Scott turns his back on me with an eye roll. He doesn't stop once and I'm appalled.
He's just going to leave me and our years of friendship for some kid we barely knew back in 4th grade? The thought of such betrayal coming from him has me kicking the backdoor to Deaton's Veterinary business.
I'm honestly shocked. He barely knows him and he's leaving me for him? Was our friendship a lie? Were all the times we've struggled , cried with and for each other a lie? Was it just him making an act? Scott yelling brings me back out of my stupor.
"Get over yourself Stiles! It's just Theo! What harm can he do? Until you're ready to apologise, don't bother calling me." And with a final scoff, he vanishes into the woods behind the school. Why can't he just believe me? I think as I clutch at my aching heart. We were supposed to be best friends all the way to the end. Maybe even become more, but he just had to side with that parasite.
"Huh, could've sworn the plan would fail thanks to your friendship but I guess Scott proved me wrong.."
My hands clench tightly as I turn to my right. As always whenever I'm confronting him, he has that stupid smirk on his face. That seems to be enough reason for me to pummel him to the ground.
"Why'd you come back huh? We've already got enough shit without you here and frankly, we. Dont. Need. Your . Bullshit!" I say,emphasising each word with a punch before one of Theo's claws stops my fist.
"Hahah, you really don't see it do you? I came for you! Haven't you noticed that extra shadow stalking you? Even when nobody's there, there's always that shadow with you.." he stops to spit out blood before promptly flipping us over,
" I want that. I want the Nogitsune! With your bloodlust and spontaneous behaviour colliding with him, you'll be the most powerful being!"
My eyes widen in disbelief, the pack has been trying to catch the Nogitsune for weeks now , only for us to end up failing epically; and now I find out he's been following me this whole time? Waiting for an opportunity? Anger takes over my soul as I shake, fury no longer contained.
In a blur, I manage to lock my teeth into Theo's shoulder and just yank . He let's out a pained howl as he's thrown to the side. With all of his bitching, it's a wonder the pack hasn't arrived yet. I get up and walk back to my baby. Opening the trunk, I grab my metal bat and , with a death grip, walk back to Theo.
"No—Now Stiles! Let's not do anything we'll regret! What would Scott think if he found out you killed me?" He puts up his arms as a shield around his face and I stop , thinking about it.
"Well, I've thought about it, and frankly—I don't care! Because of you, my dad got shot , Scott doesn't care at all for our friendship and plus, I really wanna bash your head in." I say sardonicaly and swing at his head with full force.
It feels great hearing him scream. His fear—I can practically taste it in the air, only proving to fuel my rage. I can feel all of my anger at the world, the anger at Scott, being released and I feel my face start to hurt from smiling.
Just as I'm about to take another swing, ignoring Theo's weakening pleas, an arrow is shot and I can feel it lodge itself into my shoulder. I look up only to see the pack, looking confused and angry, especially dear Scotty.
"Finally! Was wondering when you'd fetch the bitch. A few more swings and I'd have caved his head in!" I wink as I grab the arrow and break it, leaving the tip in.
"What the hell do you think you're doing Stiles? This rivalry has gone on long enough, now stop it or we will." Derek flashes his eyes as he steps closer but I laugh.
Am I going mad? I can't seem to remember common sense. The voice that speaks next sounds eerily like me, but I cant seem to recall if I'm even speaking or thinking it.
"Oh goody, did Theo not say? He finally got what he wanted—Me! Go on, tell them.." I murmur as I grab him and throw him to the pack's feet.
"I—I can explain! I—I sw—swear!" He whimpers and at Peter's growl, he cowers .
"Stiles went insane and attacked me! He blamed me for his dad getting shot and that I was taking Scott away!" He cries and Derek has the audacity to look at me warily. After all we've been through, you'd think he'd trust me. He doesn't even bat an eye as Theo lies.
"You liar! You wanted me to become the Nogitsune—and to do that, you shot my dad, you sic the fucking Wendigo on me, you make my friends turn on me and now what? What is it?!" I shout as I throw my bat to the ground, the sharp sound of metal making everyone wince.
"Stiles, calm down. We can figure this out together, ok?" Lydia says as she takes a tiny step back. My anger comes back, but this time I can feel the fear in the air. It feels suffocating, it feels great.
Practically can taste the blood from Theo's wounds. The words that come out next, come out as a hiss.
"Ah, sorry darling, but it seems Stiles will be gone for a bit. Feel free to call me Void and man— it feels good to be back in a physical form,"Void stretches as he gets a feel of the new body.
"Anyway, these past few weeks have been a terrific experience, especially when I almost killed Kira."
The grin Void gives the pack makes a chill run through their bodies. This was not the Stiles they knew, something about him now set them off. His usually charming smile now put fear in their hearts. Void continues to stare down each member, until his gaze lands on the mutt. His grin turns sadistic.
"Oh you poor thing..Stiles has a lot of fury for you. He was willing to let you be if you could show you were good, but from the beginning; you've been nothing but a menace to him. Can't wait to handle you myself!" He laughs as Theo cowers behind Derek's leg and Void wipes a tear away.
As Void has a stare down with the pack, he wonders if it was really worth his time to play with pups? When he comes to the conclusion that they're not worth his time, he turns; giving a small wave to the pack.
"Hey! Where are you going?" At Jackson's voice, Void turns and winks at him.
"You're not worth my time. I'm going out to feed but you're welcome to clean up after me!" Void cheers and then he disappears at the blink of an eye.
