IMPORTANT! Before you read I have a quick announcement. I am going away for two weeks on a business trip and do not think I will have any time to write while I am away. The next chapter I have been so excited to get to that I WILL be posting it tomorrow. I will absolutely be posting it before I leave tomorrow so Chapter 17 will be up tomorrow and I can't wait it's going to be a good one. So look for that tomorrow.
"It was the full moon effecting him, you really can't be that upset," Emma laughed pushing her black hair off her shoulder.
"He kissed her, I don't care if it was the full moon," Stiles barked as they came to a stop at another red light.
"Stiles, I know Lydia, I've known her a lot longer than you…"
"He kissed her end of discussion," he said bitterly as Emma rolled her eyes and pulled a folded paper from her purse and unfolded it rubbing the creases out. Stiles looked over at the paper she read over and over again and soon her broke the silence.
"Emma, Emma," Stiles said softly as Emma stared at the paper in her lap. "Emma?" Stiles spoke up as she finally looked away from the paper and the driver.
"Yes, Stiles?" she sighed as he stopped at a red light.
"What is that?" he asked pointing at the paper in her lap.
"Just a poem," she shrugged before rereading the poem again. She looked up seeing the light change but Stiles refused to move. "Stiles, go," she sighed before looking down but the jeep never moved, "Stiles, it's green," she continued without looking up. She could feel Stiles staring at her and she took a deep breath. "Fine, if I read it will you drive?" she sighed louder as Stiles hit the gas with a smile.
"So what is it?"
"My father wrote this when I was really little he used to tell me it all the time. Tyler translated it for me."
"That mute kid?" Stiles laughed as she smirked and lightly punched him.
"Stop, he has been through a lot." She held onto the poem and took a deep breath. "Do you want to hear this or not?" Stiles snickered and nodded as Emma rolled her eyes and looked at the paper.
"Well?" Stiles said as Emma slammed the paper on her lap and looked at him. "Fine, I'll shut up, cool off," he smiled childishly as Emma tried not to smile.
"Ok," she whispered. "Fair as ice she will always be, good nor evil to this day. Protector of friends and family. The queen she will remain. A fragile heart easy to break, must remain frozen. A glow of blue around her neck a glow of blue to keep her in check. The Snow Queen has come from the north, to bring the ice and stop the storm. The Snow Queen comes from the north, for glass has cursed the land and glass has frozen the land. For the mirror that cursed the land could curse her too. Robbing her of the child like innocence and taking away all she loves. A bond between queen and animal is only strong when the animal accepts her for what she truly is. Beautiful as the fallen snow, beautiful as the fallen snow. Created from her and queen of cold. The daughter of a master, princess by birth queen by right," she read the poem slowly and clearly.
"Continue," Stiles said interested as they pulled into Scott's driveway.
"That's it, that is how it ends," she said slowly as Stiles leaned over looking at the paper. "My father always ended it there," she shrugged as they climbed out of the jeep. Stiles grabbed his bag and they walked over toward the front door. Emma knocked and Mrs. McCall opened the door.
"Scott's not home yet," she said sounding rushed.
"We can wait," Stiles nodded.
"Hi Mrs. McCall, night shift tonight?" Emma asked as the older woman closed the door behind the teens.
"Yeah, and tonights the full moon," she said sounding nervously as Stiles quickly looked at Emma.
"What do you mean by that?" he asked nervously as Mrs. McCall laughed.
"The hospital is the busiest on a full moon. The crazies come out on nights like this. That's where the word lunatic came from," she said informatively as Emma chuckled.
"That actually makes a lot of sense now," she nodded.
"Well you three have a good night, I'm off," Mrs. McCall nodded and walked out the door. Stiles and Emma walked upstairs to Scott's dark room. As Stiles turned the light on Emma looked up and screamed making Stiles jump.
"Oh my God," he blurted as Emma rested her head on Stiles shoulder. "Dude, you scared the hell out of me."
"Your mom said you weren't home yet," Emma pointed out.
"I cam in through the window," Scott answered slowly sending chills down Emma's spine.
"Ok, well…let's get this set up," Stiles said placing the bag on the floor.
"I'm fine," Scott said slowly, "I'm just going to lock the door and go to bed early."
"Ok, cause you got this serial killer look in your eyes and I'm hoping it's the full moon taking an effect cause it's really starting to freak me out."
"Me too," Emma chirped.
"I'm fine, you should go," Scott sighed.
"Ok, we'll go," Emma shrugged grabbing Stiles arm. He looked up at her like she lost her mind. "But why not take a look in the bag, I mean we went through all this trouble," she said with a pouty face.
"Maybe you'll use it, maybe you won't," Stiles added realizing what Emma was saying. Scott stood up and walked over to the bag and looked at the two teens in front of him. He slowly reached into the bag and pulled out the heavy chains and then looked back at the two seriously.
"You really think I'm going to let you chain me up like some kind of dog," he squinted as Emma felt colder than normal. She bit her lip and shrugged, she lost her confidence in the plan.
"Actually, no," Stiles spoke up nearly tackling his friend as he pulled handcuffs from his back pocket. He handcuffed Scott to the radiator and both jumped back.
"What the hell are you doing?" Scott roared trying to pull free from the radiator.
"Protecting you from yourself," Stiles said confidently, "and giving you some payback, for making out with Lydia," he added as Emma pinched the bridge of her nose.
"I knew you were going to do something stupid," she whispered as Stiles looked at her for a second before returning to Scott. He smirked and the two left the room. Emma walked ahead of him and stood in the kitchen biting her nail.
"Really?" she blurted. "Really Stiles? We agreed no payback," she whispered leaning on the counter staring Stiles down. "I was here to help you, but this is going to far Stiles," she pointed at the stairs. "You know what, I'll do this you stay here and I'll take care of him the rest of the night."
"No," Stiles said seriously anger in his voice. "You stay here, I'll fix it," he sighed still sounding angry as Emma smirked.
"Fine, but I swear if you plan any more payback I'm going to kill you myself," she pointed at him as he raised his hands in defense. Emma sat on the counter and pulled out her phone going through her contacts. She stopped on Lydia's number and her thumb hovered over the call button. After a few minutes the screen went black and she let out an exasperated sigh before putting her phone back.
"ANYTHING!" she heard Scott yell as Emma sighed in annoyance and ran up the stairs.
"What the hell did I just say," she whispered looking at Stiles who sat on the floor. Emma bit her lip as confusion took over. "It's him," she sat next to Stiles who nodded slowly. The house became quiet for a good few minutes and Emma began to shiver a little.
"You alright?" Stiles asked as Emma grabbed her arms and nodded.
"I'll be fine," she whispered.
"Here," Stiles slowly said taking his jacket off as she shook her head.
"I'll be fine," she smiled pushing his hand away.
"Emma?" Scott's voice traveled from the room. He sounded sad and sympathetic now. "Please, let me out, it's the full moon I swear," he spoke as she looked down the hall. "You two know I wouldn't do any of this on purpose."
"Stiles please let me out. It's starting to hurt, it's not like it's the first time. It's the full moon, it's Allison breaking up with me. I know it's not just like taking a break she broke up with me…and it's killing me. I'm feeling completely hopeless," he begged as Emma rolled her eyes.
"It's a trap," she whispered. "This is for your own good Scott," Emma shouted.
"Please, just pull me out," Scott said softly.
"I can't," Stiles said low enough for only Emma to hear. Suddenly Scott began making a lot of noise screaming and panicking. Stiles began rubbing his ears trying to ignore Scott's screams as Emma closed her eyes and began breathing slowly. Suddenly the noise of Scott's screams stopped and Emma looked at Stiles.
"Scott are you ok?" Stiles asked as Emma stood up and walked to the door stopping in the door way.
"I…think you should see this," she said slowly as Stiles stood up and walked in staring at a few drops of blood and a broken handcuff. "Not good," she said slowly taking a deep breath as Stiles ran down the stairs. Emma followed right behind him and jumped in the jeep.
"Ok, if I was a crazy psychotic…"
"I don't know," Emma cut Stiles off as they sped down the street. "Just shut up and drive," she continued looking around for Scott. She got a glance of a dark figure running toward the woods. "Wait, stop," she shouted as Stiles hit the breaks causing the car to screech to a stop. Emma jumped out and ran toward the woods.
"Are you crazy?" Stiles screamed from the driver's seat.
"Maybe," Emma shouted back as she ran into the woods. Her breath fogged in front of her as she took a few deep breaths trying to catch her breath. "Where did you go?" she called looking around. As she caught another shadow move she ran toward it.
After about an hour Emma stopped at the road looking around carefully trying to gather her bearings. Suddenly her phone rang and she looked answered without looking at her screen. "Hello?" she asked looking around.
"Where are you?" Felix asked annoyed as Emma bit her lip.
"I took a run into the woods, I'm on the main road that cuts through to town. I'm pretty t-"
"Are you insane?" Felix barked as she looked at the full moon.
"Why? It's just a run," she pretended to ignore the danger she was in.
"Yeah, sure, stay there I'll come pick you up," Felix said quickly before hanging up.
"Hurry," she whispered placing her phone in her bag. Emma continued to walk down the street humming to herself staying on her guard. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a small light glowing. Turning her head she saw a shadow. The light shimmered around the shadows neck. Emma stood frozen staring at the shadow. Her fists tightened and as she stepped foreword the headlights of a mustang illuminated the road. Emma sighed as her brother pulled up. She looked back into the woods and saw the shadow was gone.
"Emma!" Felix shouted from the car as she stood silently staring at the woods. "Emma!" She shook her head and walked toward her brother's car and climbed in. "So you just took a run? I thought you went with Stiles to go to Scott's?"
"We did, then I told Stiles I was going to run home," she lied as he nodded slowly. As they pulled into their driveway Emma ran into the house and up to her room closing the door behind her. Bae softly growled as Emma squinted. "Bae?" she whispered as the dog continued to growl. Emma turned the light on and covered her mouth preventing a scream as Derek looked at her from the corner. "What the…you're dead, I saw you, there was…" Derek stood up and covered her mouth with his hand. "Sorry," she mumbled behind his hand.
"Look, I came to check up on you," he said coldly as she looked at him funny.
"Why? Doesn't seem like something you would do," she laughed as he shrugged.
"It's not something I do," he smirked walking toward the window.
"Wait," she shouted grabbing his hand. "Derek," she pleaded staring at him. Her hands were warming, but Derek pulled away causing the cold to return.
"You're fine, I see that," he laughed before climbing out the window.
"Strange," she whispered climbing into bed.
"Faster, Scott, faster," Emma shouted looking out of the back window as the SUV began closing the gap.
"Fine, hold on," Scott replied as he changed gears and hit the gas harder causing the gap to widen. Emma laughed grabbing the guard rail as her heart beat faster. The SUV had disappeared and Scott turned into an alley way.
"Ok he said he would be somewhere around…"
"There!" Emma pointed to Derek who ran toward their car. Stiles jumped in the back with Emma as Derek jumped into the car.
"Go," he barked angrily as Scott drove off.
"Well did you get anything?" Emma asked as Derek looked at her through the passenger mirror his face red and angered.
"I got something, but I could of gotten more if someone hadn't made me the most wanted man in the entire county," Derek said angrily staring at Scott.
"Sorry," he said defensively. "What did you find?"
"This," Derek panted pulling a piece of paper out. "Some sort of trinket that…"
"I've seen that," Scott interrupted him.
"Great, so you can get it, where is it?" Stiles chimed in.
"Allison has it," Scott whined as Emma rolled her eyes. "It's her necklace," he added sounding more and more depressed.
"Ok, Emma you get it," Stiles spoke up as the raven haired girl scoffed.
"Ha, I'm not going to ask my friend randomly for a necklace I have never seen before."
"I can get it,"Scott sighed as they pulled up to Emma's driveway. Derek climbed out and helped Emma out.
"Are you ok?" she asked in a hushed tone as he smirked.
"Even if I wasn't I'd still lie to you," he answered coldly as she laughed. She looked at the top window as the curtains moved. She smiled at him and ran to the house. The house was dark her mom was still at work and she waited for Felix at the bottom of the stairs.
"I know your planing something," she shouted as the light turned on and Felix stood at the top of the stairs.
"What's this?" he asked holding up the translated poem and original.
"Are you rummaging through my room?" she blurted running up the stairs as her brother stepped back. "Give me, my stuff," she shouted reaching for the papers.
"Emma, when are you going to let this whole fairy tale world die? It's juvenile and stupid for a sixteen year old girl to just fantasies about it."
"It's one of the last things I have of him, my necklace is gone and now what are you going to do, lock it in your safe in your closet?" Emma blurted as her eyes widened and she realized what she said.
"How do you know about that? Were you in my room again?"
"No," she smirked, "I found it when I was 'looking for my phone'," she smirked using air quotes.
"You little brat," he barked. "See this is what I mean about growing up."
"Oh my God, you and growing up, having this stupid argument constantly is getting rather annoying," she yelled in his face. "We all can't be perfect like some people."
"You think I'm perfect, that's so sweet," he mocked.
"If you want to be all so grown up, then don't let me stand in your way," she snapped shoving him back.
"Fine, I'll be grown up, how's this?" he sighed placing both poems back to back. Holding the sheets in front of Emma's face Felix pulled his hands apart as the papers torn in half.
"What are you doing?" she screamed as he continued to make the papers smaller. "I'll kill you!" she screamed tackling him but Felix was bigger and stronger then her and quickly rolled her over holding her wrists to the ground squeezing hard on them.
"Stand out of my way or you'll get hurt, you have no idea what you are dealing with," he said angrily. Bae began barking and growling from behind Emma's door, she could feel the fear coming from the dog. Emma's eyes watered as she struggled under her brother. He got up and walked away and Emma watched as he walked down the stairs her wrists were red from where he held her down and she began rubbing them softly. She grabbed the small shredded papers and went to her room. As Emma opened her door Bae ran into her whimpering and rubbing his head against her knees.
"I'm ok, Bae, I'm ok," she sniffled before turning the lights out and climbing into bed.
