Stiles:
When I woke up I was gasping for air. It felt as if a vacuum had entered my lungs and sucked everything out leaving nothing but dust. I sat upright in the plush silky couch and began to cough as if trying to get the bits of debris to leave my chest only to have a hand come and rest on my back. The touch felt so warm and pure… so familiar that I welcomed it openly. Everything felt safe.
When the coughing fit finally subsided I went to turn to the offending appendage only to have said person walk around to me. As soon as I saw her face it felt like the air left me once again. My throat closed off as tears pooled in my eyes and began to slip free and slide down my cheeks.
"mom?" I breathed, the only thing I could say as I looked into the beautiful whiskey eyes that almost perfectly matched mine. She brought her arm out and streaked my hair, going down my face and rested on my cheek. I instinctively pushed closer into the warmth and put my hand on top of hers and allowed my eyes to drift shut and a few tears to drop from my eyes.
"Baby boy… we missed you. We were so worried when you took that fall. Busted your head right open. Luckily uncle Marc found you before you got to bad and now that your awake you can start healing." She said shaking ever so slightly as her hands reached out to touch her long dark hair and allowed it to cascade over her shoulders. My eyes opened at the loss of contact but I still managed a confused frown.
"what… what do you mean… your dead. I saw you die." I stuttered out trying to get a grip of what was real and what's not.
"that means im dead…. The pain can go away now. I don't have to live in a world with out you. I can come home." I finished as more tears made there way slowly down my face and I forced myself painfully to look into her eyes once more.
"Honey I am right here. Perfectly fine and still breathing! That fall might've hurt you in more ways then one… are you okay?" she worriedly rambled and I smiled even with the nagging feeling in the back if my head telling me that this was wrong, that she was dead and I should not be there. I would rather this than the reality of that dream. Because that's all it was… a dream.
Right?
"Yeah mom… um uh…im fine. Must've just been a dream. Sorry to worry you." I spoke and kicked my legs over the couch allowing myself to sit as wave of dizziness passed over me.
"its okay baby boy. We were so worried. Oh and Kate dropped by today, while you were on your run. I told her to drop by tomorrow but you may need to reschedule until you are a bit better. I want to make sure your okay…" she tried to hide her disgust for the hunter but I could still hear it ever evident in her tone. Her eyes began to frantically scavenge my body, looking for any source if pain or any markings. She wouldn't find any considering I had already healed but for some reason I still had a slight headache.
That should have been the first sign…
I decided not to answer and put my head on my hands allowing myself to get distracted by invading thoughts of this being all a dream. That none of this was real. I was only brought out of my thoughts by another warm hand on my shoulder and I bolted up expecting to find my mom only to come face to face with my father and alpha. He had a smile plastered in his face as he grinned ear to ear.
That was all the incentive I needed to get up in shaky legs and pull my old man into a tight hug that left him breathless. I burrowed my head deep into the crook of his neck allowing his scent of pine needles and earth to cloud my senses and tell me this is real. That was all I needed, all that was required to convince myself that I had dreamed everything up and it was just my sick and twisted imagination at work
" I'm taking it your feeling better." He laughed out but allowed him to be scented and even did the same. He smiled against my neck at the thought of his son being okay.
When we finally pulled back I saw the unshod tears in my fathers eyes which he quickly wiped away with the back of his hand as my mom came around and laced her fingers around his hand before sharing a brief smile. I shared one of my own before a thought made it drop as quick as it was on my face.
"Kate dropped by?" I asked solemnly voice no higher than a whisper.
"Yeah she asked for you but I told her you were out… do you need her son?" the sheriff answered back apprehensively trying not to show his disapproval.
"No…. No No I can't be friends with her… I can't anymore." I replied Desperately trying to Convay how much I needed them to understand.
"Did she hurt you?" my dad asked hard tone ringing in my ears, a tone that screamed alpha. His fists began to ball up and his eyes flashed red for a brief moment.
"no…. Yes? Maybe. I don't know, I… I can't remember dad… I just have this feeling…." I rambled off eyes bugging out going in many directions trying to price together a imaginary puzzle piece that seemed as if it was missing so many essential pieces.
"look son we will talk about this after dinner okay? We are entertaining uncle Marc and aunt Sasha. They even brought their kids! Hell the whole family has come to join us!" he said calmly as his anger started to dissipate into nothingness although there was still apprehension as he looked over my body one last time. But mostly it was just excitement, whether it was about his son waking up or just the fact the family was over I would never know.
I shook my head to clear my thoughts and met a smile, no matter how small, paint my face as I nodded and we walked forward.
" Wait…. Even Paul and Cathy are here?" I said in wonder wanting so desperately to see them all. Wishing to see their eyes without fearing the death in them. Without seeing the light gone.
My father chuckled lightly and nodded before we walked into the large dining area. In it we had a long wooden oak table, perfectly polished to the 't'. It held enough room to hold twenty people not counting the heads of the table. And each seat held a family member. There was only three seats left, both at the heads of the table for my mom and dad and then to the right if my dad for me signifying that I was my alphas right.
I looked around the splendid room and smiled to myself gently as I saw spectacular paintings and portraits of our family gleaming and glistening in all their perfection. I came out of my stopper by harsh blows To my knees.
I looked down to see mops of identical blonde hair and the smile I had grew twice in size.
"Alexandrea and Gabby! My two favorite nieces." I say as I pick both of them up into my arms. They may be identical twins but they were so different I forgot sometimes.
"its Alex now stiles!" she giggled in my arms and I bowed in apology which only made her giggle more.
"wook stiles! I wost a tooth!" gabby practically screamed and I smiled at her enthusiasm, she pulled back her gums to show me the missing tooth.
"such a big girl! How old are you guys now? Like twenty huh?" I question with an enthusiastic face to match the girls and making them believe that I had actually thought they were older than me.
"Stiles!" Alex said stretching out the word and have trouble with the 'l' in my name making it sound like a 'w' instead. I just shook my head and laughed.
"we five! Can't even wemember our birthday?" gabby pouted but was smiling none the less.
"Bad stiles!"
"very bad stiles!"
I laughed and put them down and watched there long hair bounce in the wind and their dress bob up and down as they ran off to their seat.
I shook my head fondly at the two girls and began to examine the table for all the other kids just waiting to talk to "uncle" stiles.
'I started scwool!' a girl named Lizzy screamed.
'mommy took me to the zoo! WE saw so many animals! Even wolves.'
'daddy said you were hurt. Sti are you okay' another called out worry lacing her voice and suddenly looking so sad along with the rest if the pack. Love and worry radiating off of everyone seated in waves if distress. It looked like they were forcing themselves to be still as they held their breath.
"WE MISSED YOU UNCLE STILES!"
I giggled all around still listening to the kids mumble on about one thing or another until the alpha cleared his thought and we turned to him. My dad was stoic as ever dressed in his black dress pants and his black suit coat and tie, looking more like James bond then a sheriff.
"Okay,okay kids lets give stiles some room to breath!" let laughed out and took a deep breath. Before turning to me his eyes watering the began to rake over my body and he raised his glace high in the air!
"to my son. Best there ever was and best alpha there will ever be. He made it through the impossible. I love you kid and don't scare me like that again. You will make a fantastic leader and father one day… just not to soon I've had enough heart problems for one day!"
I smiled a watery smile, bowing my head a little to let out a small laugh, and nodded raising my wine glass that was full of water up just as everyone followed suit.
"HERE HERE! TO STILES!" Was the collective response from my pack... MY pack. Who were safe and sound. Sitting right here next to me. How could I ever think this was all just a dream?
After that everyone drank their glasses and that's when I was bombarded with questions.
'what happened stiles?'
'are you okay?'
We were so worried! Don't ever do that to us!'
'yeah pull some crap like that and I will kill you hell I think I can get that as a pack activity!'
And that was only a few of the comments. I smiled and looked down at my plate full of food trying to hide my blush but my stomach was warm with content as I heard the worrying pleas of my family, my pack.
Wake up…
I shook my head trying to drown out the gravely voice in my head and continue on about the meal. I laughed as aunt Mary told her world famous joke that no one ever got because she told it all wrong.
"once there was a preacher…
No wait a duck….
No no no a preacher and a duck!" she began just being able to start on when that annoying voice started up again.
Wake the hell up!
This time louder and I put my hands over my ears trying to block out the noise. Trying to block out everything… because I know that voice… and that voice was no good. When I looked up,hands still over ears I noticed everyone was at a standstill everyone unmoving. I finally let go of my ears limply as I began to shed soundless tears.
I Swallowed thickly as everything got more blurry.
"this isn't real is it?" I asked a feeling of numbness washed over me as my mom shook her head sadly as a frown stretched across her face, a look so unfamiliar it made me want to cry. She walked over, long legs going in careful strides.
"Baby boy... I love you. I always will love you. Your father will forever be proud. You are the last of the stilinski clan. The last of our great name. You have to go back, as much as it hurts me to say that baby. I love you so much. Show them who really did this… but never give up. Its not your time yet." She whispered as tears came crawling out of her eyes and leaking through.
"mom I miss you so much im so scared without you. I don't want to go back. Please don't make me go back, ill do anything to stay here. Ill be a better son I promise!" I all but screamed. I begged and pleaded as more tears slipped out.
"Baby boy… don't be scared I am always with you. Always. And you could never be a better son. You are my baby boy. Didn't you ever forget that! My only baby boy. You make me so proud…" she said fiercely as she enveloped me in her strong arms. It had only been a minute or two but the voice came back.
Wake up dammit! Come on!
And just likes that it felt like she was being ripped away from my arms, the last thing I saw was a look of despair on her face and her mouthing three words that nearly brought me to tears.
I love you.
…
"YOU SHOULDVE LET ME DIE!" I chocked on a sob as tears streamed down my face, my voice coming out raspy from lack of water and finally coming eye to eye with Derek as Deaton looked at me. The whole pack was there and that when I remembered where I was and went to wipe hand across my face. I had to be strong. Show no mercy no weakness…
Only it was tied down to a chair still in handcuffs with the chain spread out in front of me. I tried to move my whole body but it was tied and looped around said chair. My faces twisted into that of anger as I violently jerked my whole body around cause both Deaton and Derek to take a step back.
Everything from head to toe was looped around in thick rope even my feet keeping me firmly in place.
I began to thrash and shake violently trying desperately to free myself. Tears started to stream down my face at the thought of these little girls on my lap. Of Gabby's hair bouncing wildly through the wind. Alexandra insisting to call her Alex.
My mom.
She wanted me to continue but how? What was the point? When pain was all I could feel through ever fiber of my being. Through everything. What was the point if she wasn't here…
There was none.
As soon as that thought crept into my head I went loose in the binds and slumped forward before closing my eyes tightly.
"you should have killed me. I should have died. Everything would be so much easier… you should kill me." I said tightly meaning every word I said. I didn't want to be a part of a world without my mom… without my pack. And they should… just get it over with. I knew that's what they desperately .
I didn't want to be in a world where I was alone.
I didn't get to bask in my self hatred and pity before my face was being forcefully pulled up to meet the eyes of none other than the alpha himself. Dereks eyes flashed red for a breif moment and his scowl morphed into something truly scary.
"death is to easy in scum like you. You murdered for power and now you can sit here and rot. If you think I would kill you just because you suddenly have a conscience you have another thing coming kid. You murdered for pleasure. You killed for fun. And for what? Power?" he bit out harshly I could help but back away but he just held me in place firmly and inched his way closer.
"You have no one. Your alone. And now you get to sit in this house and do absolutely nothing with that power you murdered for. You get to become what you truly are. You are nothing."
With That he pushed my face back and stormed up the stairs his pack on his heels, only one remaining was Deaton. As Derek ushered the rest upstairs he suddenly turned back to me.
"make sure he is patched up. I can see the gash on the pack of his head opening up again." He commanded in a lighter tone before his face twisted into a smirk.
"and no food… or water. Not tonight. He will be fine till then. And when your done come upstairs we have some thinks to discuss." He said calmly and turned to me, smirk growing wider as he saw my anger growing.
"Night stiles." He said sweetly before leaving me in the pit of darkness. I knew I was in the basement but didn't want to think about it at the moment.
Deaton continued his work in moderate silence only asking questions such as 'does it hurt when I touch this' or 'are you feeling dizzy?' but was soon done and left me in the cold.
When the door was firmly in place I allowed my stones reserve to slip and allow the waterfall of tears to leave me. I don't know what compelled me to do it but I didn't even try to make the sobs quiet and even let out a ear splitting shriek that sounded as broken as I was.
I then said enough was enough and willed the tears away. I looked around best I could with me being roped to a chair looking for possible exits. My breathing was becoming shallower and I needed to find a distraction.
When I didn't find any other exits I thrashed some more anger fueling my every move. But in my fit of anger the chair toppled and I yelped in surprise.
I began to try and move from my place on the cold stones floor to no avail only to try and flail my hands in frustration .
Only… they moved.
