Chapter 3!
Good Cop, Bad Cop?
Derek opened his eyes he was sitting in a moving vehicle, he looked to his left to find Stiles driving.
"Stiles!" Derek said with a huge smile.
Stiles didn't seem to hear him, he kept driving the radio was on but low enough he couldn't hear the words.
Derek reached over to Stiles but his hand went right through his shoulder, he wasn't really there. He sat back and looked around the inside of the vehicle, it was unfamiliar to him.
"Where's you jeep?" Derek asked knowing he wouldn't receive an answer.
"What are you talking about?" Stiles said looking to where Derek was sitting.
Stiles pulled the jeep over, "I don't see anything." Stiles said extending his hand through Derek's chest.
Derek was confused, who was Stiles' talking to, it had the be the Cryix. Did it somehow know he was there? He watched as Stiles looked straight at him.
"Derek? You have to leave. I don't know how you have come to be here, without a body, but you have to trust that I know what I'm doing. Leave on your own or the Cryix will make you leave. He can see you." Stiles said with a confused and worried look.
"I can't I'm worried about you, we all are. Where are you going, why are you letting him take you?"
Derek asked.
Stiles looked as though he was listening to someone speak.
"You have to Derek, I'm fine, he's only a voice in my head, I have to help him, so I can help myself. If I tell you were I'm going your just going to follow, and I can't put you or our kinds in any more danger. You need to let me go, just for a little while." Stiles said looking for Derek still unable to see or hear him.
"I love you Derek, but please leave." Stiles said.
Derek watched him he looked exactly like he remembered. "I love you too." Derek said before Stiles smiled, the Cryix must have relayed his message. Derek closed his eyes and faded away.
"He's gone, lets keep going." The Cryix said inside Stiles' head.
Stiles' smile fade as well before he continued onto he road.
"Your family has very powerful magic. If they don't heed the massage you gave your lover, I'm going to have to take some drastic measures." The Cryix said as he sat in the cage is Stiles' head.
"Let's hope it doesn't have to come to that." Stiles said as they passed the sign 'You are now entering Glendive North Dakota.'
"I don't understand why you don't just teleport to Maine." The Cryix said with an annoyed growl.
"Because I miss driving, I'll drive part of the way and teleport the rest." Stiles said.
"Good because I'm board." The Cryix said rolling his yellow inhuman eyes.
Derek opened his eyes, he was laying on the floor in Scott's arms. Everyone was staring at him.
"Well, did it work?" Scott asked with wide eyes.
"It worked, but the Cryix knew I was there, Stiles didn't." Derek said getting up off the floor with Scott's help.
"The demon doesn't seem to be controlling him, Stiles said he's now just a voice in his head, he wouldn't tell me where he was going, he doesn't want me, or us to follow." Derek said looking to the floor he looked confused and sad. "He said that he needs to help the demon before he can help himself." Derek looked as though he was going to cry at that every moment. "He wants me to let him go, just for a little while."
No one knew what Stiles meant by that. Derek wasn't sure he did either.
"What does he mean by that?" Scott asked anyone who could answer.
"How long is a little while?" Allison asked.
"Derek, I'm sure it doesn't mean what you're thinking it means." Caleb brushed his hand through his blond hair. "He probably means he's going away but not to worry and he will be back soon."
"Or he means he needs time away from you to sort things out, you did kind of abandon him." Isaac said as everyone but Derek glared towards him.
"What? I'm just saying what everyone is thinking. He was deeply in love with you and you him then one day just stopped not by your doing, but it still killed him every second of the day." Isaac said trying not to make eye contact with anyone.
"No, I don't think that's it. I remember what I put him through." Derek said looking up from the floor towards Scott and Allison. "I feel it like a knife in my chest, now that the curse is broken it feels like I was stabbed repeatedly and it wont heal, when I was cursed I found him and his love towards me, I found it annoying." Derek said, putting his hand over his chest. "When I was in his jeep with him I could feel he still loved me the way he did before the curse."
Isaac sat on the edge of the couch, "He might still need time, it can't have been easy, and then being possessed."
"Isaac, stop talking." Erica said giving him a smack in the back of the head.
Isaac sunk back into the couch holding the back of his head.
"Isaac might have a point, even though he's really blunt about it." Caleb said. Derek gave Caleb a glance to hear him out.
"Well lets not forget he almost killed the Cryix by destroying his host Corwin with borrowed magic, he wasn't in his right mind because he lost you and your love. He was acting selfishly, now that he knows your back to normal it had to of hit him like a tone of bricks. And all that he's done, he needs time to try and fix his own mistake." Caleb said watching Derek get what he was saying.
"So I sound just trust that he knows what he's doing." Derek said.
"Yes, but we're still going to try and locate him with the spell Brien is working on. I'll set up some Sigil around Beacon hills that will alert us when he comes back so we can capture him. I have a plan to get the Cryix out of him." Caleb said with a smile.
1 week later.
"How much longer are you going to drive this metal contraption for? I'm board." The Cryix said laying on the floor in the cage in Stiles' head.
"Until I feel like teleporting, a metal contraption 400 miles." Stiles said with a smirk as he pressed harder on the gas. Without realizing it Stiles sped passed a cop hiding on the other side of the hill behind a large fir tree.
The Siren waled as he sped out of his hidden spot.
"Damn it!" Stiles said quickly pulling the vehicle onto the shoulder of the paved road.
"Let me have some fun with him." The Cryix said inside Stiles' head.
"How about no." Stiles responded quickly as he saw the police officer getting ready to exit his cruiser.
"Oh come on I wont kill him, I'm just itching for a little fun." The demon smiled evilly.
"No, just let me handle this."
"You are no fun."
The police officer stepped out of his vehicle and walked up to the window the the Jeep.
Stiles opened his window and smiled at the young man.
"Hello officer." Stiles said.
"Do you have any idea how fast you were going young man?" The officer asked eyeing Stiles like a criminal already.
"Who's he calling young? He's the one who looks 12." The Cryix said inside Stiles' head making him miss the speed he was traveling the officer had just said.
"My Speedometer is broken, so I have no way of knowing how fast I'm going until something like this happens. Or I realize I'm speeding." Stiles said with a truthful grin even though his heart skipped as he lied.
"I don't believe you, license and registration young man." The officer said looking unamused.
"What the hell?" The Cryix said as Stiles hesitantly reached for his car registration from his glove box.
The Cryix closed his eyes and concentrated on the young police officer. "He's a werewolf, he heard your heart skip as you lied to his face."
"Well that figures." Stiles grumbled.
"What was that young man?" The officer asked.
"N-nothing." The officer gave him a raised brow as Stiles handed the papers through the open window.
"We should teleport so that when he comes back were gone." The Demon said as the officer walked back to his car.
"I can't without my license. And there's no way I'm leaving my jeep." Stiles said as the Officer got into his cruiser.
"Then freeze him get your papers and teleport." The Cryix suggested.
"I don't know if it will work on other supernatural beings." Stiles said in a whisper knowing that the wolf would be able to hear him.
"Well then try it."
"Shit! As soon as he types in my name into his computer he's going to find out I'm a missing person." Stiles said getting out of his vehicle.
"Sir get back in your car." The officer said looking up from his laptop.
"Blast him!" The Cryix screamed.
Stiles put up his hands and and the cop froze in his vehicle.
"It works on the supernatural." Stiles said getting closer and seeing that the computer was still loading his identity.
"Good now get your papers and lets bolt before he unfreezes." The demon said.
Stiles leaned into the car and deleted his information on the lap top before grabbing his license and registration papers from the cops hands, he began to walk away when he heard something from behind him. The cop had unfroze and was walking towards him with his glowing blue eyes, he was showing his wolf to Stiles.
"You're not human so I have no problem taking you down." The officer said rushing towards Stiles with his claws at the ready to tare at his flesh.
"Time to see what your made of kid." The Cryix said wanting some fun action.
Stiles turned and put up his hand he used his telekinesis to stop the wolf in his tracks.
"If you continue on this path, you wont survive." Stiles said as he lifted the beta off the road and into the air.
"W-what are you?" The officer asked.
"Depends on what day you ask." The Demon snickered inside Stiles' head.
"I am a very powerful witch that needs to stay of the radar." Stiles said holding the officer of the ground.
"T-that's impossible, witches have been extinct for years." The young beta said.
"Or just really good at hiding." The Cryix said.
"And yet here I am." Stiles looked the beta over, "You have an alpha?" Stiles asked.
The beta nodded, fangs and claws still drawn.
"The next time you see them, ask about Romulus and Remus. You'll understand then that were not enemy's." Stiles said as he lowered the wolf back to the pavement.
"I suggest you forget about seeing me, and pulling me over. I'm currently being possessed by a demon and I might not be able to control my powers." Stiles said getting back into his jeep.
"Now teleport!" The Cryix said feeling the wolf's fear. "Come on, he might try and come after you if you just drive away." The Cryix said needing Stiles to scare the beta even more.
Stiles rolled his eyes before deciding what could it hurt.
The officer watched the jeep thinking about weather he should listen or continue bringing the young man in. But before he could make a decision the inside of the jeep lit up like the sun, he had no choice but to cover his eyes, in the fraction of a second the jeep and the light was gone, nothing but dust and tracks from where the jeep had pulled over were left. The officer walked forward unable to comprehend what he just witnessed.
"Yeah, that was so good." The Cryix said as they appeared just outside the sign for Missouri.
"That took a lot out of me, I need to rest." Stiles said starting his jeep again and driving passed the sign to find a hotel so he could get some sleep.
"I could sleep now that I'm full." The demon spoke with a devilish smile.
"You fed on his fear didn't you!" Stiles said looking into the mirror at the evil stiles smirking back at him.
"So what if I did a demon's gotta eat too." The Cryix said. "Although it would have been better if it was his soul."
"Not happening while your inside me." Stiles said. "Or ever."
"I miss Corwin."
"I miss Derek, and my kids." Stiles said glaring at the demon who had the similar look on his face.
1 week later.
Stiles walked through the dark oak forest moss hung from the tree's like in a horror movie.
"Classic witch in the creepy forest, if we come across bones I'm going to scream like a little girl."
Stiles said holding a sturdy wooden staff in his hand ready to hit something that might attack from nowhere.
"Why do the most powerful people with the knowledge have to live in creepy haunted forests?" Stiles asked as the Cryix concentrated on their surroundings.
"I don't know, maybe it's because it's safer or something or we just love scaring people with our creepy hideouts." The Cryix said inside Stiles' head.
"This is why I don't watch horror movies because my life is already a horror movie." Stiles said jumping at the sound of a crow cawing.
"What's a movie?" The demon asked genuinely intrigued.
"It's a movie, like moving pictures on a electrical box or monitor like this but bigger." Stiles said pulling out his cell phone with 45 ignored calls from his friends and 98 ignored texts.
"I see, so what is the purpose of these movies?" The Cryix asked.
"There a form of entertainment, there's something for every genre, scary, thrilling, grotesque, mystery, romance, comedy, adventure. All done by actors." Stiles explained as he walked though the dark forest.
"When I become human I'll have to see movies." The Cryix said as they approached a rather larch wooden house in the darkest part of the dark oak forest.
"Well then lets hope this seer has the answers we are looking for." Stiles said walking up to the wooden door.
Stiles set his staff beside the door before going to knock.
"Enter Child of Romulus!" A female voice said from the other side of the door.
"Whoa she's good." Stiles whispered.
Stiles turned the door handle and pushed the door opened without making any creaking noises, a fragrant aroma came blasting from the inside lavender and rose marry, with a hint of spice. The house was lit with orbs of light, definitely not man made anyway. The white lights floated above him as he walked into what looked like a well stocked kitchen, many herbs hung from strings many potted plants took up most of the surfaces of the tables and counters. There was a tall brick fireplace with a roaring fire across from the door, a woman stood in front of the metal pot hanging over the fire.
She turned around giving Stiles a smile, she looked younger then he would have thought. She had long brunette hair, her eyes gray, and her skin was fair. She wore a navy blue gown that reached the floor and a knitted shall over her shoulders, she looked like she was in her early 30's. She looked like she would be a queen in a Disney fairy tale.
"My name is Miranda, and you are Marion Stilinski, Stiles' for short and your sporting a Demonic parasite. You have come to." The women said only looking Stiles over from head to toe. "Free it without hurting you or the ones you love."
"Your good." Stiles said as she continued to smile.
"I'm never wrong." Miranda said turning back to the fire place and taking a small silver kettle from the metal rack that sit on the side of the fireplace beside the huge pot. She walked with the hot kettle and poured it's contents into a small white tea pot on the plant covered table across from the fire.
"Please have a cup of lavender thyme tea with me." She said with a warm smile.
"Yes, I mean okay, thank you." Stiles stuttered as he rushed over to the chair diagonally from her.
"You shouldn't fear me, I am in no way evil." Miranda said as she poured them both some tea in small china tea cups.
"Then why do you live in a dark oak forest, don't evil people like dark dank or swampy like area to do their evil deeds." Stiles said with a hint of fear in his voice.
"You watch to many movies. Marion, or would you rather Stiles?" She asked.
"Stiles, please." Stiles said with a small smile.
"I live out here because its closer with nature, living around crowded places like in a city or town fogs my visions, I get overwhelmed by nonsense. Out here I can focus on what's important." Miranda said handing Stiles the jar of honey that looked home made.
"It's very peaceful out here, very calming and barely any distractions, I go into town when I need something and now that there's these cell phone things, I can keep in touch with my friends and family. I had to have a generator installed to charge it but I'm still very in touch with nature as you can tell." Miranda said using her hands showing him the room full of plants and herbs.
"It's kinda creepy when walking up here but once your used to it, it would probably be quite nice." Stiles said knowing some of the plants and herbs around the room.
"Now straight to business, I wish I had the answer you were looking for, for the demon inside you to have a body of it's own, to become human you would have to take a life to make one." Miranda said taking a sip of her tea.
"So we will kill someone and I can be human." The Cryix said inside Stiles' head.
"That's not a good plan demon." Miranda said, Stiles looked at her surprised that she was able to hear the Cryix.
"The consequences would be great, there is a loop hole but not in the way you want it to be." Miranda said.
"What is the loop hole?" The Demon spoke inside Stiles' head.
"There is a way for you to become human but you wont remember your life as a demon and you wont have your powers." Miranda said taking another sip.
"How?" The Cryix asked as Stiles took a sip of his tea.
"By being destroyed, the want and need you have to be human will be recycled, you will be born into the world as a human. You could very well be born a witch, or a shape shifter, a druid, or just a regular human. It would have to be your last thought before being destroyed." Miranda said.
"This isn't a trick is it." The Demon asked.
"I have no reason to lie or trick you, it's just the truth that comes from the universe." She said with a warm smile.
"How do we progress his destruction?" Stiles asked, "Eli and Cari are still quite young."
"Your friends are on the verge of figuring that out." Miranda said taking another sip of her tea.
"Will it hurt, to die?" The Cryix asked.
"How very human of you, it wont hurt at all. Stiles you should go home the plan began 2 weeks after you left. By car it should take you 2 weeks to get home, and visit a movie theater on your way back." She said with a twinkle in her eye.
"O-okay." Stiles said as the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end, she really was never wrong.
After his tea with Miranda, she cent him on the road with a box of some herbs she though he might need in the future, grabbing his staff he made his way back to civilization.
