"DEREK! DEREK! I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!" With every step he took away from the school, it felt as though his body was about to rip in two. It was like he was being pulled by a giant rubber band and that rubber band wanted him to go back to the school. Hale slammed open the door to the loft and threw his bag on the ground.
His older brother of seven years stuck his head out of the bathroom door with steam floating around him. "Shouldn't you be at school?" Derek questioned as he came out of the bedroom and crossed to his dresser to get some clothes out. "What's wrong?"
"Derek what do you know about mates?" he asked his brother.
Derek raised an eyebrow. "Mates? Like wolf mates?" Hale nodded his head and Derek frowned. "Not much sorry, it's not really something I bothered to learn about. You should probably speak with Peter though, he knows a lot more than what I would. Why?"
"There's a new guy at school," Hale answered. "I just-my wolf wanted to jump him in the middle of the hallway." Derek raised his eyebrow at the mention of it being a guy but chose not to say anything instead letting his brother continue. "Derek he's not human!"
"So he's a wolf?" Derek asked him.
Hale shook his head. "No, he's not a wolf, he's not a kanima, he's not human. I don't know what he is."
"Who is he?" Derek asked, looking his almost hysterical brother up and down.
"His name is Lucian Blackwell," Hale blurted out, "he's Stiles cousin from some place called Mystic Falls." He slumped down on the sofa and groaned before burying his head in his hands. "Derek-I feel like there's a rubber band in my chest and it's about to snap me right back to him. I don't know what to do. There's a full moon in two days-what if I do something stupid?"
"I'll make sure you can't," Derek assured him. "We'll go back to the house and you can shift there, I'll put you under the alpha command if I have to. In the meantime, as much as I hate to say it, I'll talk with Peter and see what he has to say, and you stay away from this Blackwell kid, okay?"
Hale nodded. "Okay…I think I can do that. I'm pretty sure I can do that."
"Just today stay home," Derek urged him as he grabbed some clothes. "I'll go see Peter. Stay here Hale."
Hale nodded as Derek vanished back into the bathroom. "Stay here Hale, I can do that. I can do that."
Lucian was starving! He hadn't been able to get a quick feed in that morning or had the opportunity to go to the hospital and requisition some blood bags. He found his target in economics, a perky little blonde with a bitch attitude that reminded her of his own bitch blonde back home. He followed her quietly for the afternoon, making some kind of excuse to Stiles and Scott that he still had a few text books to follow up in the library
His target was a little hard to get to than what he thought. She stuck around with her little bitchy friends for most of the afternoon before she slipped out to have a smoke right out behind the bleaches. "Mind if I bum one?" Lucian asked her, making her jump. "Living with the Sheriff isn't good when you smoke."
"Oh you scared me!" she gasped. "Blackwell, right? Lucian, the new kid from Virginia?" She handed him a cigarette and lit it for him. "I'm Maggie, Maggie Spencer," she introduced herself when Lucian nodded.
"Thanks Maggie Spencer," Lucian grinned. "You're a lifesaver." He sat back and looked out over the forest with a grin. "Nice place this, kinda reminds me of home."
"So we're having a party on Saturday," Maggie grinned, "wanna come?"
Lucian turned to face her, his pupils dilating as she stared in his eyes. "Close your eyes and imagine you're here by yourself just having a smoke." The girl didn't move and Lucian grinned when she closed her eyes. He lowered his head and his fangs extended before piercing her neck. The blood running down the back of this throat wasn't the purest he'd had, virgin blood was always the best but there was no way he was hunting down a virgin when he was that hungry.
Having been taught how to feed properly, Lucian only took enough to sate himself before he fed her a couple drops of his blood to seal the fang marks on her neck. "I was never here," Lucian told her gently. "Go back to your friends." Maggie nodded slowly and stepped back before she walked back towards the school.
Lucian grinned and stayed behind to finish his smoke before making the track back to the Stilinski house where Scott and Stiles were sitting in the lounge room messing about on the X Box. "What are you playing?" he asked, dumping his bag on the ground.
Scott stiffened but continued playing the game. "Call of Duty."
Lucian leant in between the two. "You guys want a bite to eat?" he asked. Scott growled and snapped around to face Lucian. "Woah!" he laughed, jumping back. "Stiles, control your mutt!" Stiles sat there, mouth opening and closing like a fish.
"What the hell are you?" Scott growled.
Lucian grabbed the newspaper off the table and rolled it up. "Come on Fido, hit ya on the nose with a rolled up newspaper. Just don't pee on the carpet."
"Scott no!" Stiles yelled as Scott jumped over the back of the sofa. He gasped as he cousin suddenly disappeared in a blur and slammed Scott backwards, sending him flying across the room. "What the hell Lucian?!" He gasped and backed up a little when he saw Lucian's blood red eyes and capillaries bulging a little. "Dude you have fangs!"
"Move Stiles!" Scott yelled.
"That's my cousin!" Stiles objected when Scott yanked him out of the way.
Lucian launched himself at Scott, his body twisting and changing into that of a hulking great black wolf. He growled and almost sank his teeth into Scott's neck only stopping inches away before licking him.
"What the hell are you?" Stiles gasped as Lucian's body shifted back… "Where the hell are your clothes Lucian?" he asked, covering his eyes.
"Vampire," Lucian replied, "werewolf…hybrid."
Scott picked himself up off the floor. "You're a vampwolf?!"
Lucian raised an eyebrow. "A vampwolf?" His sire would have an absolute field day with that name. He shook his head and chuckled a little. "Stiles, I aint got nothing you haven't seen before."
"It doesn't mean I wanna take a look at your junk!" Stiles shouted a little too loud. Lucian chuckled and pulled a pair of gym shorts out of his bag to put on. "Thank you," Stiles nodded. "How the hell did this happen?" he askeds.
Lucian sat back on the sofa. "Evidently my dad has the gene," he shrugged, "the type of werewolf I am-not what Scott is-can only turn when the gene is triggered upon the taking of a life."
"You killed someone?" Stiles gasped.
He sighed. "Not directly but to save Nessa a girl died and that triggered the transformation. I was human up until a year ago. Sorta like you Stiles, the human messing around with the supernatural. I threw myself in the middle of it all, became a werewolf and then became a hybrid."
"Dude how is that possible?!" Scott demanded to know. He slumped down in the arm chair with his arms folded against his chest in a defensive manner.
Lucian sat back. "Well-I got fed vampire blood-which is deadly to werewolves by the way-as an example to Elena, she gave me her blood so I didn't die." He pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head, "and I'm not explaining that story to you right now because there's a lot of old wounds I don't want to reopen, okay?"
"We gotta tell Derek," Scott grumbled. He got out of his seat but before he could even reach the door, Lucian slammed him against the wall. "You can't! If word of my existence gets out, the Hunters are going to come after me. I'm an endangered species, there's only me and Klaus left."
"You guys got hunters as well?" Stiles asked.
Lucian nodded. ''Yeah…my dad…dad and Gwenny are hunters, mum's a witch. They'd sooner hunt me down and kill me…I need to decide if I trust this Derek before I let him know what I am."
Scott nodded slowly. "Okay, I get it. I won't tell Derek. Will we Stiles?"
Stiles shook his head. "Scouts honour, cous…can you put Scott down." Lucian lowered Scott to the ground and Stiles coughed. "Um-what do you eat?" he asked.
Lucian chuckled. "I'm part vampire-what else do you think I eat?"
"Blood?" Stiles bulked.
"Blood bags from the hospital," he told him. "And I'm not some Twi-douche looser, whenever I feed from a person they live and simply forget." He wasn't going to tell them about compulsion just yet. "So what was with the other wolf dude?" he asked. "Hale?"
Scott shrugged. "No idea. Can't help you there…hey maybe Lucian can help us find Erica and Boyd?"
"You missing puppies?" Lucian asked before Stiles swatted him on the back of the head. "Ouch! What did I do?"
"You know you can't just barge in here at any time you like," Peter Hale frowned as his nephew hovered out of site but in the hallway of the Hale home.
"It is my house," Derek replied calmly, walking inside.
Peter cocked his head to the side and sat his book in his lap. "Whatever can I do for you?" he smirked.
"I'm here for Hale," Derek answered shortly. "I've restricted him to the house whilst I try and figure out what's going on. He thinks he's found his mate."
Peter laughed outright. "Who's the lucky lady?"
"His name is Lucian Blackwell," Derek corrected him. "I don't know anything about mates and I thought you'd be some help instead of the usual leech like you are."
He mock gasped. "Now I'm offended Derek." Peter sat his book beside him and stood up. "A true wolf mate, now that's been years since I've ever thought about it. What I remember your mother telling me when we were kids is that the longer the bond is denied, the worse it becomes for both parties involved. Is this Lucian human?"
Derek shook his head. "Hale doesn't know what he is. I thought I'd tackle that one next. So how bad does this get? The separation?"
"If he was human, Lucian would probably get sick and die," Peter replied, "but whatever he is, it could affect that but it will slowly drive him into insanity. It will slowly drive them both into insanity. I'd know more if we could find out what he is."
Derek shrugged. "He's from some place called Mystic Falls according to Hale."
Peter laughed outright and shook his head. "Oh my."
"What do you know?" Derek snapped.
He shook his head. "I've an idea. But in the meantime Derek, keep Hale and Lucian away from each other. If I'm right about this kid, and I usually am, Hale's in for it. We all are. I'll put in some calls and see where it goes. Okay? Just keep them away from each other."
Derek frowned, he was used to Peter's unusual behaviour but he really hated it when it involved his younger brother. He sighed and fixed his jacket up a little. "You've two days, any more than that and I'm gonna have to let him go. I can't alpha command my brother. Two days Peter," he warned him before he headed out.
