A discovery is said to be an accident meeting a prepared mind-Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Chapter 9:Heart Monitor
Mom was still mad at Scott for missing the parent teacher conference. She sent us out on a grocery run for food and I made sure to get that stuff for Allison's cake. We got all the stuff but Scott lead us to the wrong floor.
"Dammit" He mutters
"Seriously you can't remember where the car was?" I ask. We climb another flight of stairs to find the car. He sits down the grocery and pulls out the keys and started the alarm. I look down to see that the milk rolled out of the bag.
"Shit" I get down on the ground and reach but it rolls back to me with holes on it side. We hear growling and start to run for the exit, I feel that whatever is chasing us is coming closer and closer but we move under a car. Scott put his hand on his heart to calm it down and his face lights up.
"I got an idea" He tells me to turn on the car alarms to confuse whatever was chasing us. He takes one sides and I take the other and we start hopping on the roofs. We run towards the other side and wait a minute. I thought we were in the clear but then Scott's phone goes off.
"Are you serious?" I whisper he tries to turn it off but it's too late hands grab him and pulls him onto the car. I look up to see that the culprit is Derek.
"YOU'RE DEAD!" Derek says
"What the hell was that!?" Scott asked as we walked back to the car
"I said I was going to teach you, I didn't say when" Derek replies
"But did you really have to do that?" I ask him
"You scared the crap out of us! We thought we were going to die!" Scott yells but Derek doesn't even acknowledge the yelling
He looks at us "Not yet" he says and keeps walking
"Ok but I was fast right?" Scott asked
"Not fast enough" He responds
"But but the car alarm thing that was smart" He says
"Until your phone rang" He says
"But that was I mean- WOULD YOU JUST STOP" Scott yells and Derek stops and faces him
"What happened last night Stiles dad getting hurt that was my fault, I should have been there to do something. I need you to teach me on how to control this" He says. He told me that Mr. Stillisnki almost got ran over
"Look I am what I am because of birth, you were bitten teaching someone who was bitten takes time" Derek explains and I see Scott's face turn to hoplessnes
"I don't even know if I can teach you" He yells
"Then what does he have to then Derek?" I ask him not wanting Scott to hurt himself or anyone else. He wouldn't be able to live with himself
"You have to get rid of distractions" Derek grabs Scott's phone and puts it up to his face
"You see this" The phone shows a missed call from Allison
"This is why I caught you. You want me to teach you get rid of her" I scan Derek's face and he's dead serious
"What just because of her family?" Scott asked and I notice the hint rage in his voice. Derek turns around and throws his phone at the wall shattering it into pieces
"Dude what the hell?" I ask
"You see how you're getting angry that's your first lesson. You wanna learn how to control this, how to shift? Get angry by tapping into a primal animal rage and you can't do that with her around!" Derek tells him
"I can get angry" He says
"Not angry enough this the only way I can teach you!" He yells
"So there isn't any other way to control this?" I ask and he doesn't even acknowledge me
"Now can you stay away from here at least till the full moon passed" Derek yells
"I can" He says
"Do you want to live!?" He asks Scott
"Do you want to protect your friends yes or no?"
"Do you want to protect your sister yes or no?" He asks
"Yes if you do this I'll stay away from" He says and Derek walks off. We get back to the car and pack the groceries. Scott stops me before I get into the car
"El can you take me over to Allison's?" He asked
"Yeah why?" I ask back
"Since I'm not going to be able to be with her for a long time I just want to my one last time to be with her" Scott tells me
"Awwwww" I say "Scott they need more people in the world like you come on I'll drive to her house" I say as we hop in the car
"Really?" He asked "And you're not going to tell Derek?"
"Why would I snitch on my own brother?" I ask sarcastically and he just shrugs. We get into the car and drive him a couple of blocks towards Allison's house.
"Stop right here" He says and I press the brake
"Alright have fun" I wave him off as he gets of the car and go back home. When I get to my room I feel dizzy. When I try to focus on my surroundings the world is spinning so fast I feel sick. The world starts go black and I begin to fall. But when I wake up I'm in a whole different place. I'm on the grass and it's warm, I look around and see a large tree in the distance and multiple people looking at me whispering.
"She has come"
"Was she summoned here?"
"Has the time has come?" One of them finally came up and talked to me.
"Nyralim has been waiting for you child of dust go to him" She led me to the path I walked and went towards the walkway. I examined it
"This isn't a walkway this a tree" I say to myself.
"Come closer, little curiosity…." This voice is different than the others the voice was male and his voice sounded old but wise.
I look down to see a fall down to a large body of water. Continuing to walk on the tree limb and I found myself in front of a ball of green energy
"The curious one seeks a way to the Fae, but it has found its way to the boughs of the world tree, instead. Rest, quickling, and I may study you" The green light said
"Quickling?" I ask "What are you and where am I?" I ask him
"I am all that you can see. My roots spread to the world. I am Nyralim the World Tree." Nyralim says
"Alright Nyralim why did you bring me here?"
"To warn you of the dangers to come to you" Nyralim says
"What dangers?" I ask
"During the time of Formality and winter, your very life will change in an instant and that is only the beginning" After Nyralim says that everything starts to fade
"Wait what's happening!?" I start to panic again
"You will come back once you have changed into who you truly are Katrina" As Nyralim finishes the world goes dark again and I begin to fall. When I wake up I look to see that I'm on my bed and Scott and Derek in front of me.
"Owwww" I moan in pain rubbing my head
"Oh thank god you're awake" Scott gives me a death hug I try to return
"Scott your crushing me right now" I struggle to say
"What happened to you? When we both got in you were passed out on the floor.
"Well…." I began to explain my whole ordeal with the fall, the transporting and my talk with Nyralim.
"And that's it" I say sitting Indian style in my bed. They both looked shocked to say anything
"So let me get this straight" Derek tries to process my whole stitaution "You fell into a different universe, talked to a tree who told you to beware the "Formality in Winter" and then you woke up back here" He says
"Yeah but here's the thing he knew my real name" I say
"Katrina? I thought only me, you, mom, and Stiles knew your real name" Scott said
"Yeah but how did Nyralim know it?" Derek asked
"I don't know but listen I'm tired and apparently since you're here that mean something happened so spill" Derek sighed and told me about the Alpha after putting a spiral on the car and then he left. I went straight to bed after that. Next day at school when we walked into class Stiles was still giving Scott the silent treatment
"You still not talking to Scott?" I ask him and he nods
Scott sighs deeply "Ok well can you at least tell me if your dad's okay. I mean just a bruise right? Just soft tissue damage? How big?" He asks. Stiles still gives him silence
"You know I feel bad right?" He says
"Ok what if I told you I'm still trying to figure this out and I went to Derek for help" Stiles looks at me giving me a irritated look
"Ella if I was talking to Scott tell him you're an idiot for trusting him but obviously I'm not talking to you" Stiles said and then it just awkward silence. Stiles who couldn't resists the problem turns around
"What did he say?" He ask
"So he wants you to tap into your animal side and get angry?" Stiles asked
"Yeah" Scott replies
"Excuse me but every time you get angry you almost kill someone and that someone is usually me or El" Stiles says and I remember back to the locker room incident
"Well if he can teach I have to be able to control it" Scott says
"Well how's he gonna be able to teach you that?" He asks
"I don't know and he probably doesn't know either" Scott said
"Ok then when do you see him again" Stiles asked
"I don't know he said to get through the day and act cool-"Scott says but Stiles pulls him into a stop
"When?" he asks
"He's picking me up at the animal clinic after work" He says
"After work well then that gives us to the end of the school day" Stiles says
"To do what?" We both ask
"To teach you myself" Stiles says after walking off. We went to class and I see Allison reading a book
"Hey Allison what's that?" I ask her
"It's a book about one of my family ancestors slaying a wolf" She says
"Wolf? Can I see it please" I ask
"Sure here" Allison hands me the book talking about La Bête du Gévaudan and how one of the Argent's slaying it. I turn the book and see the picture that it was given. It looked just like the Alpha those same red eyes and black fur. Allison's family has been hunting werewolves for a long time.
"Ella you alright? You look a little pale" Allison asks me with concern in her voice
I give her a nod "Yeah I'm fine oh here I wanted to give you this" I dig around and give her cupcake
"It's a vanilla cupcake with strawberry filling" I tell her. She takes a bite of it and her face brightens up
"Ella this is sooooooo good" She says
"Well thank you darling but put away before Lesher tries to make you throw it away" I say and she puts it back the box. After class we go to lunch and Allison is showing the book to Lydia.
"I think the book is making it more obvious" Stiles said
"Have you come up with a plan yet?" Scott asked
"Yeah it's coming together" I tell him. He was going to be in for a surprise
"So do you not hate me anymore?" Scott asked Stiles
"No I don't hate you. But your crap ruined my life so I have to do something about it. Plus I'm a better Yoda then Derek" Stiles add
"Yeah you teach me" Scott says
"Your Yoda I will be" Stiles imitates his voice and I suppres some laughter earning a look from the boys.
"See I said it backwards-" Stiles begins to say but was cut off by Derek
"Yeah I get it" He says and Stiles gets up while snatching the world history book. Scott tries to cover himself while hiding from Allison
"Allison, Scott can't talk right now he has to go do studying for biology but he'll talk to you later" I say while rushing up to the boys. After getting my coat we head outside for the practice. Stiles pulls out something and gives it to Scott.
"Isn't this one of the heart rate monitor for the track team?" Scott asks
"Yeah I borrowed it" I say
Scott gives me a look "You stole it"
"Temporarily taken for tests. Coach uses these when he jogs so your going to where that for the rest of the day" I say
"Isn't that Coach's phone?" Scott asks
"That I stole" I say bluntly
"Why?" Scott asks
Stiles begins to explain "Your heart rate goes up when you go wolf right? When you're playing lacrosse, with Allison, or getting angry with this maybe you can control your heart rate" Stiles finshes
"Like the Incredible Hulk" Scott says he always has to put in simpler terms
"Yeah like the incredible hulk" I say
"Ok now put the strap on" I say and Stiles begins to tie him up. In retaliation of being ignored Stiles is going to use this oppurtuity to help out Scott and get his anger out. He begins to hurl balls aggresivley at him. One after another he gets hit he the phone starts to go off.
"Well when I got angry I got more stronger" He says
"Then that means Derek was right anger makes you stronger" I say
"That also mean I have to stop hanging out with Allison" He says
"Why because you love her?" Stiles asks
"No because she makes me weak" They go to the locker room while I head back inside the school. When I go to class I tune out everything they say.
"Your life will change Katrina for better or worse" Nyralim says. I look around and I see that I'm still in class and everything still going on.
"How are you speaking to me?"
"Before you come to school bring your gun you will need it for these events" Before I could say anything Nyralim leaves and the sound starts to comeback.
I texted Scott to meet me out front but he said he got into detention. So I ended up driving home and just watching TV for a while. I also went in my room and pulled my gun from its hiding spot. I start to examine it a custom model of a 9mm pistol his weapon has an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, a well known Catholic figure and a representation of the biblical Woman of the Apocalypse, painted on the pearl grips of the firearm. The entire body of the pistol is engraved with ivy and floral details, with a polished nickel finish. It was a gift from my father who got from a priest in which that this gun would keep me safe from any dangers. Turning to look at my phone I see that Stiles calling me
"Yeah what is it Stiles?" I ask
"I'm about to pick you up Scott and Derek are at the school and they need help" He says I put two clips in my Scott Pilgrim Vs The World Ramona messenger bag and wait out on the porch. Stiles pulls up and drives us to the school.
"This is a terrible idea" Stiles says
I nod "I couldn't agree with you more"
"Could you think of a better idea?" Scott asked
"Well I usually ignore the problem until eventually just goes away" Stiles answers
"Just make sure we can get inside" Scott says and I grab the bolt cutters from the trunk. We see Derek pulling up and walk over to him
"Where's my boss?" Scott asks
"He's in the back" Derek says we all look into the car to see Deaton sleeping or passed out in the back
"Well he looks unusually peaceful" I say. We begin to walk towards the school
"Ay ay ay what are you doing?" Derek asked us
"You said I was linked to the Alpha, I'm going to see if your right" We walk towards the doors and I get the bolt cutters to snap of the lock. We walk into the office
"Okay one question what happens if the Alpha doesn't show up?" I ask
"I don't know" Scott answers back
"Then what if he does shows up" I say
"I don't know" He says again
"Well this is a wonderful plan" Stiles said as he works with the intercom
"Alright you said when a wolf howls he's giving his location to his pack" Scott looks at Stiles
"Yeah but if you howl does that make you apart of his pack?" Stiles asks
"I hope not" Scott says
"Yeah us too" I say. We give him the mike and what I thought was going to be a howl turned out to be the screech of a dying cat.
"Scott you sounded like a dying cat" I say
"What do I do how am I supposed to do this?!"
"Look your calling the Alpha be a werewolf not a teen wolf" Stiles says. Scott gives a deep breath and unleashes a howl which I feel vibrating my bones.
"I'm going to kill both you! What are you trying to do attract the entire state to the school" Derek yells
"Sorry I didn't know it was going to be that loud" Scott says
"Yeah it was loud and awesome!" Stiles says
"And a little dumb" I add
"Shut up" Derek said. I look over him to see the door open
"What did you do with Deaton?" I asked
"I didn't do anything" Derek replies but then I see claws coming through his stomach lifting him up into the air blood pouring from his mouth with the Alpha looking dead at us.
"GO GO RUN" We all run back into the school and lock the door.
