Melissa And
The Ice Rink Battle
Part 2
Disclaimer: I own nothing but what you see here!
Summary: After Scott gets back from his job, Melissa finally gets a few answers.
It was about an hour and a half later when her son finally showed up at the house. Albeit he seemed to be worried about something while clutching his side. And a concerned Melissa wondered if her son was worried how she was going to react when he started giving her the answers to her questions. Or if perhaps the worry was over something else entirely. What that would be though she wasn't sure of but hopefully it wasn't anything bad. "Let me see it." Demanded Melissa and making Scott look at her in mild confusion.
"The wound Scott, show me the wound."
Gaining a look of comprehension, he raised his shirt up and pulled off the bandage. Making Melissa look shocked that the wound from his fight earlier was almost gone! "Its… Its almost gone!"
"Yeah, would have been gone a lot sooner but apparently attacks from an Alpha take longer to heal." Responded Scott with a tired sigh.
Placing the bandage back over his healing wound and lowering his shirt, he moved past his mother and into the kitchen and sat down at the table. His mother wasn't too far behind even if she did still seem to be in shock. Once she sat down and Scott managed to snap her out of it, the first thing his mom asked is what the Hell had happened to him. He looked apprehensive at first about telling her, but eventually he started to speak. "You know how there's a bunch of stuff out there about Werewolves? Movies, comics, and things like that?"
Melissa gave a nod as she had seen her fair share of Werewolf films. "Well uhh… Surprise! We're real!"
She gave him a frown to show how unhappy she was with his answer. "Mom, I promise I'm being completely serious here."
"How… How is this even possible!? For that matter… How the Hell did you turn into one!? I know it wasn't cause of me and Heaven help your father if he was hiding something from me!"
Scott gave an ugly look at the mention of his dad before responding. "It can happen one of two ways, by birth if one or both parents are Werewolves or by a bite. And since neither you or dad are Werewolves, I wound up this way thanks to being bitten." At least he hoped his dad wasn't one as that was something he so didn't wanna deal with!
He could tell his mom was trying to wrap her head around all this and he was thankful for the fact she wasn't flipping out over any of it yet. Though he wondered if that might have happened while he had been gone. "And how did you get… Bitten?" Heaven help whoever did it as she would kick their asses!
She quickly noticed the uncomfortable look on his face after she asked him that. "Uhh… You remember that date of yours? Peter?"
"Yeah? What about him? A date that ended before it could really start I might add." Asshole never even bothered to call her back either!
"He uhh… He's the one who bit me the night before school started."
"WHAT!?" Oh he was a dead man!
Scott winced over her loud tone and she immediately apologized for it, thinking she had possibly freightened him. "Oh, its not that. Its just my hearing is more stronger then what it used to be."
"How can your hearing be stronger? That's not possible. And trust me on this cause I am a nurse you know."
"Part of the whole Werewolf thing, I can smell a whole lot of things, hear pretty far, and my vision in the dark is definitely better too."
"All because Peter bit you?"
"Yeah, he was a psychopath looking for revenge on the Argents."
Hearing that alarmed his mother greatly as she'd been alone with him! Hell, she was starting to feel grateful for Stiles rear ending them! Wait… If Scott knew about Peter being that way… Was what Stiles really did an accident or was that actually on purpose? "If you're wondering, yes, that's exactly why Stiles rear ended you two. I was near by watching the whole thing."
Well color her impressed with her son's thinking! "He wasn't gonna eat me or anything was he?"
"Uhh no. Actually I think he wanted to make you like me."
Melissa wasn't sure if she should be flattered or freaked out by that. She did wonder if she'd wind up keeping her rather amazing legs if she wound up like her son but pushed that sort of thinking away as she doubted her son wanted to answer that sort of question! "I'll freak out about that later, but do I need to worry about him coming after me or you again? And do I use silver if he tries?"
Scott looked a little nervous over this one. "Actually… He's, well… He's dead." Hearing that shocked his mom a lot and told him to explain that one.
"We… Kinda set him on fire. Which was probably deja vu for him all over again. And then Derek Hale, Peter's nephew, slit his throat. Letting him become an Alpha cause of it."
There was a hint of bitterness in her son's tone and she privately hoped that he wasn't bitter it was him who didn't kill the jerk! "He got to become an Alpha while I'm still like I am. He told me if I took Peter's life I could become human again. Then he does that and he wonders why I don't want to be part of his Pack? Or why I'm trying to keep others from being part of it? The crap that comes with the power just isn't worth it." He was talking mostly to himself but it did answer her recent thought about the bitterness.
She put a hand on him in a comforting way that had him surprised, almost as if he'd forgotten she was even in the room with him. "Sorry." Apologized the teenager sheepishly.
"Hey, you clearly needed to get that off your chest so rant away if need be."
Scott gave her an appreciative smile over that. His mom then had a thought come to mind. "Is this all why you don't seem bothered by asthma anymore?"
"Pretty much, probably the only thing that makes it somewhat worth being like I am now. Even if I did like how I was before the bite just fine."
Whether he was a regular kid with asthma or a kid who's also a Werewolf, he's still her son at the end of the day. And even told him as much, getting another appreciative and happy smile from her son. Melissa felt there was likely more to talk about concerning this whole Werewolf thing, but she was hungry and judging by the growl from his stomach, he was too. And so the two decided to get some dinner ready while Scott was just glad his mom seemed to be taking things as well as she was so far. Though he had a feeling once he got to talking about the Argents she would definitely not be happy. He just hoped he would be able to talk her out of doing anything rash where they were concerned too.
Author's Notes: Boom! Probably will do a third part sometime soon where she confronts the Argents. Which I imagine will be a ton of fun!
