So, in case you haven't guessed it yet, Skylar is my OC from the Teen Wolf universe. :) She is also featured in my other Teen Wolf story Introductions. Thanks for the reads and favorites and follows, it all means so much to me. Anyway, without further ado, back to the story. :)
A knock on the bedroom door startled everyone in the room. Skylar motioned for them to stay quiet and moved noiselessly over to the door.
"Derek? Skylar?" A familiar voice called, sounding very confused and worried. "Are you guys in there?"
"Audrey?" Skylar called back, still not believing enough to open the door just yet.
"Yeah. Is everything alright? Isaac and I just got back and we saw the blood in the kitchen…" Audrey trailed off, waiting for an explanation and for the door to be unlocked and opened.
Skylar cursed under her breath. In all the panic-inducing events that had taken place, she had forgotten that Audrey had left early that morning to pick up Isaac from the airport. He had just gotten back from France.
"Skylar? What is going on?" Isaac wondered.
"Just, hold on ok? Just hold on." Skylar bit her lip pacing in a tiny circle, once, twice, before a solution came to mind. "Ok, Audrey, Isaac, I need you to listen to me very carefully. I'm going to open the door now but I need you both to stand next to each other and don't move until I say it's ok."
Audrey hesitated, but her instincts won out. "Ok. We can do that." Skylar was acting strange. Something was obviously very wrong but Audrey trusted that Skylar was doing what she thought was best for all the people involved.
Skylar motioned to Derek and Scott to help her. She reached into her nightstand drawer and pulled out two small glass bottles, pushing one of them into Derek's hand before telling them what she needed them to do.
She and Derek stood shoulder to shoulder in front of the door, unscrewing their vials. She nodded to Scott who broke the salt barrier and ripped the door open. She and Derek lashed out, splashing the two people on the other side of the door. The sound of sizzling was heard and painful screeching.
Skylar immediately charged, Derek close behind her as he tucked a startled Audrey into the bedroom.
Skylar gripped Isaac's wrist and twisted his arm behind his back, the demon possessing him screaming as the holy water burned him. Before she could force him to his knees, the same inky black smoke erupted out of his mouth, taking refuge in the ceiling ducts once again.
Not wasting any time, Skylar tugged a dazed and confused Isaac into the bedroom, Derek slamming the door shut behind them as Scott repaired the salt border.
Audrey immediately went into frantic mother mode. "Is everyone alright? Isaac, are you ok? Oh my God! What happened to Liam?!"
Derek placed grounding hands on her shoulders. "Liam is going to be fine." He explained calmly. "It's a long story." He looked to Skylar, indicating that she needed to be the one to tell it since she actually knew what was going on.
"Yeah I'm going to be fine." A strained voice reassured. Liam was struggling to get himself into a seated position on Skylar's bed. His face was drawn and pale. He winced as he pulled at the still healing wound.
Scott was immediately by his side, gently gripping Liam's waist and maneuvering him into an upright position before sitting down next to him.
Liam sighed once he was able to lean against the headboard somewhat comfortably. He glanced around, looking surprised by Audrey and Isaac's arrival. "What did I miss?" He wondered.
"Why don't you sit down?" Skylar suggested, helping a dizzy Isaac to the edge of the bed.
Audrey followed their lead, plopping down next to him and holding back her questions.
"What just happened?" Isaac asked, clutching his head.
"I would like to know that as well." Liam seconded.
"You were possessed." Skylar said bluntly, tapping his chin so he would look up at her.
"Possessed?" Audrey echoed, looking at Isaac in barely-controlled panic. "By what?"
Skylar sighed. "A demon." She answered. She noticed Audrey's mouth opening to ask more questions so she cut her off. "He's fine. There isn't any lasting damage. He's just going to be dizzy for a minute." Skylar soothed.
Audrey nodded and paused for a moment before finally asking the question she needed answered the most. "How do you know so much about this Sky?"
Skylar turned away and began pacing as Stiles and Derek also gathered around.
"I've experienced this particular demon before." She said reluctantly. Half of her didn't want to talk about it because it was a very dark time in her life, but the other half needed to get this off her chest, and maybe if they knew, then maybe they could help.
Everyone was still looking at her expectantly.
She sighed, running a hand through her hair. "Ok." She conceded.
So, Skylar sat down in front of her friends, and she told them everything.
