The Originals
(Author Note: This chapter is gonna basically skip over episode 9 Wolf's Bane and dip into episode 10 Co-Captain. Also on the title has nothing to do with Vampire Diaries which I would love to write something for. Finally if anyone is wondering or mad at the fact I make large previously it is because it is … hard to concentrate when I stare at a blank white page.)
(Previously)
Zach pulled Stiles back "he seems worse than usual … the Allison thing is making him go crazy". Stiles nodded "… I know he has been upset but … what he did was … awful". Zach gripped his shoulder comforting him "he is in a bad place right now we have to give him time". Before they could continue a crash was heard from the room making the two run over seeing an open window with a large moon illuminating the room. Both of them ran out of the house looking around closely for Scott "WHERE THE HELL DID HE GO"! Zach looked up at the moon getting a hint of Scotts scent but quickly losing it "Stiles … I'll find him … I'll give into the wolf". Stiles looked over at him "you said you were becoming human again … what do you mean". Zach looked over at him "… I have had to hold back my instincts since I turned into a were-being … if I give in maybe I can stop him". Stiles ran up grabbing his shoulders "are you insane… what If you can't get back in control"? Zach stepped back looking up at the moon "if I stop Scott then it'll be worth it … now go back inside". Stiles watched as Zach fell to the ground letting go his inhibitions "fine … but we'll save you no matter what". Zach ignored him as he ran inside locking the door "ok … I'll stop fighting". He immediately felt a pain all over his body "AHHHH FUCK" his arm stretched out audibly cracking. Slowly his eyes changed into their two different colors as his face morphed more and more. He fell down in excruciating pain feeling everything change. After a few minutes a shadow raised itself running off in breakneck speeds.
(With Scott)
Scott runs through the woods heading straight for Allison. He finds her still talking to Jackson. Jackson is telling her how he saw a shape that looked like a man, but then it got down on all fours and ran away. It moved like an animal. Scott sees them kissing through his rage and gets angrier. He makes a run for the car landing on the roof, but before he can attack, Derek tackles him and sends him flying. Scott tries to fight him, but Derek doesn't fight back, instead dodging and throwing him without trying to hurt him. Derek slams him into the ground and then roars in his face. This seems to break Scott's bloodlust, and he gives Derek a confused look. "What's happening to me?" he asks. "Exactly what he wants to happen," Derek replies. Before either of them could continue talking a wolf crashed into Scott throwing him across the way. Derek quickly jumped back getting a good look at the large wolf "what the hell is going on here". The wolf was bigger than any wolf he'd ever see with blinding white fur with red blood streaks. The wolf's eyes were normal other than one eye was milky white and clearly blind "this isn't a normal wolf". Scott ran over behind Derek "that wolf has a blind eye like Zach's … do you think"? Derek shushed him as the wolf snarled at them both "turning into a wolf is extremely rare". The wolf ignored their conversation jumping at them with glowing blue and golden eyes latching onto Derek's arm. Derek grunted trying to throw the wolf with his brute force. Scott ran over pulling it off him and throwing it across the clearing "don't hurt it … that wolf is Zach … and he's hurt". Derek nodded cradling his arm "then try calming him down … connect with him". Scott nodded slowly kneeling down looking into Zach's eyes making him back down "calm down everyone here is your friend". Zach stepped back laying his head down letting Scott lay his hand on top of his head "that's right you're ok". Before Scott could grab him Zach dashed off back into the forest leaving the others. Derek stepped next to him "… this isn't good … that wolf he turned into … never mind". Scott looked over at him "what's wrong with that wolf he turned into"? Derek looked over at him "… it's nothing my mother use to talk about a white wolf … don't worry it's just stories". Scott looked off into the distance seeing Zach gone "well let's hope to god he doesn't kill anyone".
(Now)
A lone body lied in the middle of a blistering desert naked with his skin peeling away 'where … its hot… my body am feels like it melting'. The bodies head raised with his eyes cracking open seeing a silhouette walking through the sandstorm. His vision went black passing out as the shadow stood over him 'what's happening … am … am I dead"?
(In a small town)
Zach sat up looking around feeling weak "god I feel dead". A girl in jean shorts and a white tank top came into the room "oh good your awake here drink this". She gave him a glass of water which a gulped down in seconds. She smiled down at him "now the old man wants to see you hurry up and get dressed". She turned around and in an instant Zach was pushing her against the wall with his claws at her throat "where am I"?! The girl giggled "you're a little too weak to try any fighting kid". Zach growled into her ear ignoring the pain all over his body "I said …where am I"!? Before Zach could even register her movement the girl spun around lifting him by his throat "in a bar". He looked down at the small girl seeing her eyes were red but her face was much thinner and had multiple sharp teeth. Before he could do anything she threw him out the window sending him out into a rambunctious bar that went quite as he smashed into a table breaking it spilling beer all over him.
The quite bar filled with people of every race and color went ballistic laughing and screaming "and the new guy goes down". Zach looked around seeing multiple people looking down at him "who the hell is that girl"? A burly man lifted Zach into his feet "that my boy is the she devil herself but we call her Sasha … I wouldn't get on her bad side she's an original". Zach gave a confused look "what the hell is that"? Everyone went for another level of laughter making Zach growl at all of them in embarrassment. As everyone went crazy the door blew open making the room silent in an instant. Zach looked around even more confused "what's the big deal why'd everyone go quite". The crowd parted showing an old wrinkled Indian man wearing a set of desert wandering clothes "boy come with me". Zach looked at him seeing everyone was now staring at him "… um ok… anywhere but here".
Zach followed the man out of the bar seeing that he was in a small town in the middle of the desert "where am I old guy"? The man looked back at him "still in California if that's what you're worried about". Zach nodded as they entered a small house where they both sat down facing each other "well that's good I guess". The old man smiled at him "no questions we need to talk about the stuff you don't know". Zach gave a dry chuckle "what does that even mean … is it about what those drunks were talking about"? The man nodded "you need to know what you truly are … you are a descendent of the Original Shapeshifter".
Zach chuckled "what do you mean original shapeshifter … I may be new to this stuff but that still sounds a little farfetched"? The old man waved the laugh off "believe it or not that form you took is a perfect copy of the original Werewolf". Zach looked down at himself seeing a lot of his scars were much better "well … I guess it's not too weird… I guess I'll listen to the story". The old man smiled "call me gramps everyone does … now sit tight this is a complicated mess". Zach sat back listening intently "ok old… gramps tell me what this is all about".
Gramps sat back as well reminiscing "the original shapeshifter blighted by god … cursed with all the demons of the night". Gramps continued as smoke filled the room showing Zach a tall shadowy figure with a dark aura and blood filled eyes. "After living for centuries doing everything he could think of … he grew weary … he had been good, evil, a murderer, and a vigilante … but life grew tiresome and all he wanted was to die". The shadowy visage changed swirling around the room showing moments from the demons past making Zach's jaw drop 'it's true'. The shadow turned to the demon overlooking two brothers as Gramps explained more "the two most prominent demons he took the form of was the Werewolf like you or the bloodsuckers known as Vampires… After meeting two brothers that wanted fame for killing the demon he bit both of them in a struggle".
Zach saw as the form changed into a snow white wolf with blazing eyes and bit into the side of the brother throwing him across the road "when a you get bit by a werewolf you turn into one so did he change the brother"? Gramps chuckled "not just that but he unknowingly transferred the demon to the brother … same with the other brother". The large wolf turned into a massive bat like creature with two fangs that were longer anything Zach had ever seen. The bat like creature bit into the brother but was surprised as the man stabbed a large knife into him making him throw the man a ways away. Gramps spoke but all Zach could do was watch the events unfold 'this is … too much … this thing is every creature of the night … how could there be something so powerful'? The man laughed at the demon licking his blood off the blade making the shapeshifter grimace. The man ran at the demon intent on taking his head off but was quickly dispatched by the demon who turned the humans head 180 degrees breaking it.
Gramps waved his hand making the smoke disappear "both brothers lived that night … first people to tell the tale of the demon … but when they woke both felt different … powerful". Zach watched as the room changed showing the brother that was bitten by the massive wolf changed into a much stronger man with long white hair and permanent red eyes and the other brother became more lean and defined with an unnatural beauty. Gramps broke him out of his stupor with more of the two "that night they both became the first humans forgotten by god and taken by demons … the Shapeshifter soon realized that his two prominent forms left him making him realize he could transfer them". Zach stopped him by lifting his hand up "wait so you're telling me I'm a very far descendent of that brother"? Gramps nodded "after that night more and more demons were passed onto others some by bite some by the birth of his child … but you need not worry about the other original demons their story is one you will have to learn later".
Zach nodded "so to recap two brothers were changed into the first Werewolf and Vampire and I'm family with them technically"? Gramps nodded "to make a very long story short the two brothers became at odds with each other making their own families… the Werewolves became known as the family Lycaon starting with the brother meeting the love of his life and making a large family of strong demonic creatures". Zach saw the large family all together rambunctious but clearly having a great time being together "they're a real family … the first pack". Gramps smiled at the sentiment "the werewolves grew large being a force to reckon with … but their downfall being they aged … and died … but that was not their downfall". Zach went wide eyed "what could possibly beat them"?
Gramps grimaced "his own brother valued power above all else … he was much different than his brother meeting a women a forcibly making children with her creating the first vampiric family know as … The Originals … the family was large, immortal, and heartless". Zach watched as the visions changed showing a large family scattered throughout a castle of darkness and blood 'so they do drink blood'. Gramps felt a dark pit in his stomach "the vampires made a claim that they would prove their dominance over the werewolves … it was a lifelong war but time was on the vampire's side and when the wolves grew old they struck with no mercy killing most of them … including the first werewolf". Zach saw the battle "they lost a lot of vampires … what happened to the ones that escaped"? Gramps blew the smoke away "they started families slowly making the original werewolf blood to dwindle into almost nothing … there is many originals of every race but original werewolves are special because they don't care much for blood ties or power … they care for their family … their pack".
Zach nodded soaking up the information "so where do I fit into this … if it's such a small percentage of their DNA than it shouldn't that big of a deal"? Gramps stood up with a very worried face "because … you an anomaly … an impossibility … there is a test we do on all shapeshifters blood … we place the blood in Wolfsbane for werewolves and see how it reacts … and yours … did nothing". Zach was confused "what does that mean … that I'm a freak or something"? Gramps laughed out "nothing of the sorts … it means you're as much an original as … well the first werewolf … the divine has given werewolves a second chance I guess". Zach shook his head standing up "that's not possible I have had Wolfsbane affect me before … and I barely have that much power". Gramps scratched his beard "your original blood was dormant until something made it become active … whatever bit you sparked the blood and then when you were brought to the brink of death it started changing your body becoming slowly more and more active".
Zach nodded looking down at his hand "so I will slowly become more and more powerful … and right now the reason I feel so weak is … what"? He laughed out loudly "being unconscious in the blazing desert for days you idiot". Zach blushed becoming embarrassed "… oh that makes sense … WAIT what about the vampires … whatever happened to them"? Gramps went from happy to somber "the remaining originals were all killed … by one of their children". Zach went rigid "… what … who in the hell could do that to their family"? Gramps walked to the door "his name is Klaus … don't worry about him … their currently is 3 original vampires… they are on the other side of the country currently …. Virginia if my Intel isn't wrong". Zach growled "if they ever cross me I'll rip them to shreds". Gramps spun on his old heels grabbing Zach by the shoulders "don't you dare … until you have your full power they would kill you in an instant"! Zach went cold "ok … I won't fight them … but I will protect my friends if they threaten them".
Zach left Gramps looking around the small desert town "this place only has that bar … I need food and water now". He walked into the bar making everyone turn to him "this is … awkward". He walked through ignoring everyone sitting at the bar "I need the biggest steak you got rare and a pitcher of water". The bartender stayed still for a minute staring at him "… you're an original … I'll get right on that". Zach watched in confusion as he ran to the back "what the hell was that about"? A familiar voice spoke out "their afraid of you … not that I'm surprised an original werewolf … that is scary". Zach looked back seeing Sasha taking in her features for the first time she was just a bit shorter than him with long red hair and hazel eyes with a tan complexion "… well they shouldn't be". She walked through the bar to him making everyone whisper to each other "I hear you need some anger to trigger that rare blood of yours". Zach growled to himself "I guess so what of it … wait you're an original to right"?
She smiled as the bartender came back with a steak bigger than Zach's head and an entire pitcher of water "here you go sir". Zach frowned at the bartenders fear "thanks how much do I owe you"? The man froze before Sasha gripped Zach's shoulder "hey we were talking … and yes I am a were-lion original now show a good time". Zach pushed her hand away "that's cool and all but I want to eat so leave me be". Sasha laughed to herself making everyone hold their breathe "I guess you don't wanna know what's happening in that town of yours". Zach's ears perked up "what do you mean". Sasha backed up with a laugh "that's private information … buuuut if you beat me in a fight I might tell you". Zach's eyes were shadowed by his hair as he stood up "you really wanna fight don't you"? Sasha quickly changed making her face thinner and her teeth all sharpen along with her eyes turning red "yeah I get off on fighting now if you beat me I'll tell you what you missed … but if I win then I go into that town and rip apart those kids making a racket in the hunter community".
Zach looked up making everyone step back as his eyes changed into their two different colors and his face shift "you're gonna what"? Sasha leaned back into a fighting stance with her fists up "they make it hard for others to stay hidden so I will take care of them". Zach's anger exploded into a physical pressure making everyone step back behind the bar "you really shouldn't threaten my friends". His eyes flared as he bulked up making Sasha smile "I was hoping for the real deal but if this is all you got then their good as dead". Before anyone could do anything Zach rocketed forward grabbing her by her throat and smashed her through the buildings wall "I'LL KILL YOU"! Sasha tried fighting back but could barely breathe as she felt his hand making her bones crack under his strength. Zach pulled her back into the building roaring in her face making everyone cover therir ears and faces as all their glasses shatter "TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW"! Sasha nodded her head as Zach let her go letting her cough up blood onto the floor. Zach calmed down "you should've actually changed … I have a were-lion friend and I know that that was barely any of your power". Sasha chuckled "your friends found out the alpha … and it seemed like he was big deal … he can freely transform and walk around".
Zach growled "damn it … if he is at full strength than I'd better get back now … tell gramps I'm leaving … and thanks for the help". Zach walked over to the steak with his teeth still sharpened and ate it whole while downing the pitcher of water "put it on her tab". Everyone got out of his way as he walked out letting everyone calm down "man Sasha you really know how to piss people off".
Zach walked through the streets intent on running back to Beacon Hills "… where the hell is Beacon Hills any way". Like a ghost Gramps appeared behind him "young man I hear your leaving so soon". Zach jumped in shock "JESUS … you scared me but yeah once I find out how to get there I'm leaving". Gramps smiled holding up a key "take this and follow map I put in the car". Zach grabbed the keys pressing the button seeing a beat up truck come to life "… thanks I'll bring it back I promise". Gramps chuckled "don't worry about it it's been sitting there for months it'll be better used with you… come back if you ever wanna learn more about you heritage … or you just need somewhere you don't have to hide". Zach nodded getting in the truck "thank you so much … I'll come back one day … this place has some pull on me". Gramps smiled as Zach started the car and peeled out breaking every law there is "that kid is gonna be a monster someday".
(Beacon Hills Derek's House)
The usually quite house was now a battlefield with a hail of bullets were flying at Derek, Scott, and Jackson. Jackson ran out the back running from the bullets and the man that just tried to kill him. Scott got hit with a bullet and was being covered by Derek "you need to get out of here now"! Scott tried saying no but was stop by Derek who forced him out making him run away "ok let's do this" Derek stepped out roaring out ready to fight the hunters! Scott ran through the forest trying not to pass out from the Wolfsbane but quickly passing out under a tree seeing a shadowy visage come to help him.
Zach just got into town parked in front of his house jumping out of the car seeing his door broken open. He ran into the house seeing the door in splinters "UNCLE WHERE ARE YOU"! He looked around the place seeing it was thrashed "what the fuck happened"? As he looked around a familiar face came around the corner "well it's obvious I took him in preparations when you came back". Zach looked back seeing Peter "… well your face is much better I will admit … where is he"? Peter smiled "don't worry he is safe somewhere … I won't harm him if you do something for me". Zach growled changing his eyes "and what would that be"? Peter dragged his clam over the wall "I need you to cripple that friend Scott of yours". Zach growled "tell me where he is right now or I swear to god I'll kill you".
Peter frowned "so I'll take that as a no … I won't say that I'm surprised … I hope he is alright next time you see him". Zach roared out jumping forward intent on taking his head off "I'LL KILL YOU"! Peter shifted making his eyes go bloody catching Zach out of the air and slamming him into the wall "don't think I will go easy on you … I'll see you around". Zach bit at him making Peter laugh as he threw him through a support beam into the fridge denting it. Peter walked out looking back at "I heard you turned into a white wolf … you're a special one".
Zach let out a breathe "dammit … DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT … I couldn't even touch him … how … Sasha didn't even try she just wanted to see me angry … DAMN IT"! Tears streamed down his face "he just started trying to be good". He heard a car park out front making Zach feel fear fill his chest as someone ran in the house kicking around broken wood. Zach tried staying quite until the mystery person came around the corner "STILES"! Stiles looked over to him running to him "Zach your back in town where have you been are you alright what happened here"?! Zach grabbed his shoulder "calm down … I'll tell you about it later … Peter took my Uncle … he wanted me to cripple Scott and I told him no". Stiles nodded "… dude I'm so sorry … how about we go to my place and I catch you up on everything"? Zach nodded holding back the tears of joy he felt as Stiles helped him 'I really thought something bad happened to them'.
