Visit to the other side
James' point of view:
Seriously how could Stiles be the one person to help Scott, Deaton hadn't actually explained how but if he was the only one to help him and I know he would do everything he could to save Scott. I know Stiles was off the floor and Scott was basically dead.
"How an earth can he help Scott."
"At the minute he is lying between here and the other side, Stiles is his link and can bring him back."
"How?"
"He knows Scott better than anyone."
"So no magic is involved."
"Not to bring him back but Stiles need to do one thing to ensure he stays here."
"What?"
"Kill the one that did this to him."
"He has to kill Peter."
"Yes, but Scott won't want that."
"Scott won't want to die either and in order to help him he has to do this."
"But I thought you said it didn't take magic to bring him back."
"It doesn't but in order to keep him here it may do."
What the hell was this man going on about seriously one minute it needs magic, the next it doesn't all I want is for my son to come back. Stiles was going to be able to bring him back but I will only believe that when I see it. I had no trust or faith in Stiles but obviously Deaton did as otherwise he wouldn't allow this to happen.
Stiles' point of view:
He was temporarily dead and it was up to me to bring him back. Deaton said that it didn't require any magic as I knew Scott better than anybody. Sometimes including Scott himself. I was extremely tired and in a lot of pain even though it wasn't my own. This did tell me that Scott was alive but he was half way between death and living.
I made my way through to the room, to see his body on the table. James and Deaton turned around to look at me. James left but Deaton stayed in the room before talking to me.
"You know what you need to do Stiles."
"Well just talk to him."
"Sort of, yes you do just talk to him but it is what you say that will bring him back."
"Okay."
"But you have to do something after he is awake."
"What?"
"I'll let you know when he is awake."
At this point in time I couldn't think about what he wanted for me after. Scott wasn't breathing but he wasn't dead which didn't make sense but who was I to question what made sense in this world any more. I knew what I wanted to say but it is how you say it that will make it hard. I had this feeling that he wouldn't hear me but could sense my presence in the room.
"Hey Scotty, I don't know whether you can hear me or not but I hope you can. Apparently I'm the only one who can bring you back."
If he could actually hear me I could sense what he was thinking. How an earth was I meant to be the one to bring him back. Most of the time everything I do never works but I had to just believe in myself as I could do this.
"Scott, you can't die on me firstly you can't leave me especially not with that sour wolf. We have always had each other even before all of this as we were nothing without each other and we needed each other then and I still need you now. You're my best friend Scott. You're my brother."
His body just laid there no movement but very slow breaths, obviously he was talking to someone on the other side but other than Erica and my mum who could it be?
Scott's point of view:
I knew what was happening, I was temporarily dead and on the other side as someone wanted to talk to me. Unless it was Erica I didn't know who it was going to be, but I knew I wouldn't wake up until they had passed on their message.
I could see and hear Stiles talking to my body and I wanted to wake up but I couldn't and now I was seriously becoming impatient. I turned around to see someone occupying the chair in the room but I had no idea who he was. But he definitely recognised me.
"Scott."
"Who are you?"
"Aah yes you're new to the family."
"That doesn't answer my question, who an earth are you and how do you know me?"
"My name is Thomas and I am or was your cousin."
"Okay so why are you here?"
"Your father and grandfather killed me; well your father killed me under your grandfathers permission."
"What are you going on about?"
"You don't believe me do you?"
"Look I don't believe anything anyone tells me now as I have been lied to my whole life."
"Well I know you are the true alpha so take a look into my memories to see if I am lying."
This wasn't exactly ideal but if it would give me the truth then it was worth a shot. He just turned around in the right position for me to take his memories. As he was already dead I couldn't kill him so that was alright. I stuck my claws into his neck and started searching through his memories hoping that I wouldn't see what he had told me.
The memories of my dad and his family were stacking up and rummaging through each one of them although wasn't enjoyable was quite interesting. There were many memories one of which involved my mum when my dad met him. But then came the one I really didn't want to see.
It was weird but very vivid memory. My dad and my supposed cousin were walking through the street of what I believe to be London. My dad went off and as my cousin carried on down the street, he was heading towards a hotel where he met up with a human. But they were a hunter and I know me and Allison went out but I didn't know she was a hunter at the time and she accepted it. But they weren't going out. They were talking.
"Look you just promise they won't find out it was me." Thomas said.
"They won't leave to see it."
"I know they're family but I can't help but betray them."
"You are doing the right thing Thomas they are ruthless killers."
"But they are my family."
"If you don't agree with it can end badly for you as well."
"No I agree with you, they are ruthless."
She had obviously got into his head and manipulated him the way that Peter did Lydia but this was for her to go after the originals. This was probably why he was killed for trying to kill his own family. As Thomas turned around he could see that someone was watching him and quickly fled.
They were running down the road, and he finally reached an opening in the road and they had gone, he carried on going until he reached the house where they were staying, and he entered the house to many angry werewolves.
"Where have you been Thomas?" my dad said.
"With a friend."
"Don't lie to us boy." This was the first time I had seen my grandfather and seeing hat it was in a memory it didn't really count.
"I was with a friend, though."
"Who was also a hunter."
You could see the fear on his face and the anger on everyone else's.
"James, kill him."
My dad went up to Thomas and threw him to the floor before slashing his throat from ear to ear. I retracted my claws from his neck and was startled at the fact that he told the truth but why did he want to talk to me.
"You see Scott I wasn't lying."
"But why do you want to talk to me."
"To let you know that even if your dad says he loves you and will do everything to protect you. Under no circumstances should you trust him."
"I only trust a few people in this world, and most of them consist of my pack and my family. And even though he is my dad he isn't my family. But tell me one thing what is it that they want?"
"That is changing daily, but at the minute they want to find out who the true alpha is."
"Why is that though?"
"That your grandfather hasn't shared with anyone yet, as he hasn't fully decided."
"So is that what you wanted to tell me, not to trust my dad as I don't."
"No there are only a small handful of people you can trust and they consist of Stiles, your pack and the one person you can trust the most is Derek."
"Derek really?"
"Believe it or not he will do anything to protect you."
"I know he would but you are still keeping something from me."
"Your dad is going to accidentally tell his family something he shouldn't but not about you about your magical friend, Stiles."
"Stiles is human."
"No he isn't but he just hasn't told you yet. But after you wake up he will require your help in something that is very out of character for both of you."
The room went white and I felt myself inhale one huge breath and I automatically bolted up off the table in the examination room. Stiles was sitting there whilst my dad and Derek were outside with Deaton.
"Scott, you're awake. But why did it take so long?"
"Answer me this then when I was on the other side I met someone who claimed to be my cousin who said you weren't human. So why and what have you been keeping from me?"
"Look I wanted to tell you but you were in danger and you didn't need to know."
"Just tell me what you are Stiles."
"Scott..."
I was angry that he hadn't told me so to stop myself from hurting him I slammed my hands down on the table but when I did that he went ow and flinched. I didn't quite understand why but because I didn't know what he was it was very confusing.
"Just tell me what you are."
"I'm an arch mage, which is sort of like a wizard."
Before I could react Deaton entered the room and looked at us.
"It's glad to see that you are up Scott and now you are up to speed I can answer Stiles question from earlier."
"Which was what?"
"Well Scott you are not completely alive yet, actually let me rephrase that you are alive but in order for you to stay alive someone has to die and Stiles needs to kill them."
"Wait a second I have to what. No way am I killing someone."
As usual everyone else is affected other than me, but I was not going to let him kill him anyone.
"If you don't do this Stiles then he will be in constant danger."
"Tell me what I need to do."
"Use your powers to kill, use them to kill Peter."
