Chapter 08: Mythology Can Be Broken

Elizabeth did as she said she would and temporarily disappeared for a while, she needed to work things out and to check on what was left of her pack. Scott called her at least once a month to check on her sometimes it was twice a week he couldn't help it. There was one incident that he needed her advice on, and that was Liam had during one of the full-moons been spotted running around naked or as it was reported 'monstrous dog-boy running around the streets of Beacon Hills naked.'

"Hey Ace, need to ask you a question, if you can call me back when you get a chance that would be great," Scott left a message on Elizabeth's phone as he and Stiles sat in Stiles' room talking.

"Do you really think she's going to know the answer?" Stiles questioned, looking around as his eyes landed on his near blank 'crime board'.

"Maybe, I don't know. She's been at this a long time," Scott answered with a shrug as his eyes followed where Stiles' had landed. "Are you worried that there's been no supernatural activity?"

"Worried? No...just it's been five months, and next month it'll be six months," Stiles stated with a shrug he didn't know how else to answer the question. Both boys jumped when Scott's phone rang.

"Hello?" Scott answered, not looking at caller-ID which would have been the smart thing to do.

'Hey kiddo, what was your question?' Elizabeth laughed, as she sat in an apartment in London with Ethan and Jackson.

"Oh yeah...Have you ever had to deal with a naked beta?" Scott asked screwing his face up as he asked the question as the thought of Liam naked kind of grossed him out.

'Once...I believe his reason was it was hot or something, anyway from that night on whenever there was a full moon he had to stay with one of the other beta's,' Elizabeth paused, as she realised that Ethan was listening to the conversation and he knew who she was talking about. 'They were killed a couple of years back,'

"Oh...so what do I do?" Scott questioned, as Stiles had a look on his face that said 'did she just say killed?'

'Be patient with him, he'll get the hang of it,' Elizabeth laughed, she knew exactly who he was talking about. 'Just don't chain him up,' Elizabeth laughed and looked to Ethan, she'd ran into him in London.

"Chain him up...Got it," Stiles said, that was what he was taking away from the entire conversation. "Does the triskele actually work ever?"

'Stiles, I said don't chain him up! Sometimes it does,' Elizabeth exclaimed knowing that it was falling upon deaf ears. 'Bye Scott, Bye Stiles,'

"Bye, and thank you," Scott said hanging up and looking at his best-friend as Stiles got an evil look to his eyes. "We can't chain Liam to a tree,"

Elizabeth looked to Ethan and saw the confusion on his face as they finished having the coffee and waited for Jackson. Ethan raised an eyebrow at Elizabeth, wondering if she was still serious about what she had said to him about being welcome in her pack.

The following month Scott and Stiles had chained Liam to a tree, even after debating whether it was the correct thing to do or not. Stiles noted that it had been six month since anyone or anything had tried to kill them. In a way he felt uneasy that nothing had happened. Scott was happy that nothing had happened, it had meant that he could focus on helping Liam with the full-moons.

With the start of the new school year, they found themselves faced with a boy that they hadn't seen since they were ten years old and he was nine. Scott hadn't really thought of him since then as he had been too busy – it had been the year his Aunt had first left Beacon Hills. Stiles had recognised Theo Raeken first, and his initial reaction had been what was he doing back? It turned out that Stiles was right to question what their old friend was doing there. Scott remembered that his Aunt had signed the shelf at the library but he'd never found it – until Stiles had pointed it out near Derek's initials.

"Scott, I'm telling you he's up to no good," Stiles whined, Scott hadn't been listening to him talking about Theo. Just because the guy 'saved' his life the day he returned didn't mean anything. "At least call your Aunt and tell her!"

"No, I'm not calling my aunt, she has enough on her plate," Scott crossed his arms as they stood in the school locker room.

"But maybe she can do more than what I have," Stiles said as searched his locker for his lacrosse gear.

"We're not calling Ace!" Scott exclaimed, throwing his arms in the air and nearly hitting Liam who was standing behind him.

"Why not?" Stiles whined, as Liam ducked again from Scott's wild arm movements.

"Ace has her own life! That's why!" Scott slammed his locker shut and leaned against it. "And we're not calling Derek either!"

*Flashback*

"Did you tell your aunt about Derek?" Stiles questioned, as they sat in his room after Derek and Elizabeth had left.

"No, what was I meant to tell her?" Scott questioned staring at his best-friend who was still confused about Derek and Elizabeth being there in the first place.

"How did they know each other? That we got him arrested?" Stiles rambled glancing away from Scott and out the window to back at him. "How long has she been an Alpha for?"

"They've known each other for-ever. And no I think she already knew," Scott answered, in truth he thought his aunt knew more than she ever let on. "I don't know,"

*end flashback*

Stiles whined before reluctantly giving up as much as he wanted to disobey what Scott had said he knew that they couldn't contact either of them. Scott and Liam looked at Stiles, Liam was on Scott's side. Though his temper had a habit of getting the better of him.

'Hey Scott, call me back when you get this,' Elizabeth left a voice-mail message on her nephew's phone as she had found Derek and Braeden accidentally while she was looking for her pack. Scott glanced at his phone as he heard it beep in the middle of the library while he was studying with Kira and Malia.

"Hey guys, I'll be back in a minute," Scott excused himself as Stiles started to talk to them about Theo again. "Stiles, give it a rest please?"

"Fine..." Stiles trailed off as Scott walked away from them before he continued on his rant.

"Hey, what's up?" Scott questioned the second that his Aunt answered the phone.

'Hey kiddo, I got your message what did you want?' Elizabeth answered, Scott had sent her another text to see what else he could do about Liam but hadn't said as much. 'Also, what the hell happened?'

"Need a little bit more advice," Scott said, as quiet as he could so that the girls and Stiles couldn't hear him. "What do you mean what the hell happened?"

'Shoot, but be quick,' Elizabeth glanced towards where Braeden and Derek were standing leaning against the SUV with Braeden talking about what it was like being an evolved wolf. 'You know exactly what I'm asking,'

"What else can I do about Liam? And do you remember Theo?" Scott spoke quickly as he looked around the library and wandered up the stairs to the shelf that they had signed. "Nothing...Got attacked at school, and Theo turned up saved my ass,"

'You'll work it out, as for Theo wasn't he in your class when you were a kid?' Elizabeth answered, she wasn't much help when her brain was focused on other things.

"You okay?" Scott questioned, realising that she wasn't really paying attention to what he had said. "Yeah...I don't know what to do about Theo though,"

'I'll be fine, just trying to track down what's left of my pack,' Elizabeth replied, running a hand through her hair and looking at Derek who was peering curiously at her. 'My beta's dead you know that...and so is at least two of the four humans... can't find the other two...'

"Ace, you'll find them, I won't bother you again but I'm here if you need me," Scott said quietly as he looked at the shelf and found Elizabeth's initials close to Derek's. "Love you,"

'Thanks Scott. Love you too, now behave,' Elizabeth laughed before they both hung up and she walked back over to Derek and stuck her head on his shoulder. 'And Scott, just remember our mythology can be broken,'

Stiles went against what Scott had said and sent Elizabeth multiple text messages telling her that something wasn't right with Theo since no one believed him. Stiles and Scott had been listening to Theo in the locker room, Scott listened to his heartbeat and believed that he was telling the truth. Stiles just believed that he was good liar. Elizabeth sent Stiles a message telling him that she'd look into it but to just let things play out.

'I can't just let things play out!' Stiles sent an almost angry text to Elizabeth.

'Stiles Stilinski, you will leave things be!' Elizabeth sent back she was getting frustrated by all of Stiles' texts. 'And Stiles stop messaging me when things don't go your way.' Stiles had stared at his phone and reluctantly shoved it back in his phone.

"Stiles, did you contact Ace?" Scott questioned, running a hand over his face as they left the sheriff's station.

"No, what makes you say that?" Stiles answered, looking away from Scott as he spoke he knew his bestfriend was detecting his heartbeat.

"Stiles, why?" Scott asked again, knowing that his best-friend had ignored him. "And please don't say it was because of Theo!"

At school a few days later they discovered that Liam had told Mason about what he was. He had also inadvertently told him about what Scott, Malia, Kira and Lydia were along with Elizabeth. Scott was pissed off with Liam that he'd told about Elizabeth.

"Only people super close to us are are meant to know about Ace," Scott growled at Liam before he looked at the others.

"Sorry!" Liam exclaimed, as Mason looked around excitedly at them.

"Who's Ace?" Mason questioned, looking between Scott and Liam.

"My Aunt...you've already met her," Scott paused still glaring at Liam as he spoke. "She trusted us to keep what she is secret...and if you tell anyone what we're about to tell you she will probably kick your ass," Scott said as he looked to Stiles and then back at Mason.

"Why are you looking at me?" Stiles questioned, running a hand over his face.

"She's a werewolf...and a witch...but like I said you say a word and she will kick your ass,"
