The Fenris Vault
Nick approached the lock and placed his claws in.
CLICK
The vault door opened and Nick entered followed by Peter and Malia, "and your sure it's here?" Peter asked, as Nick looked around for the jar
"Yeah, positive" Nick said opening cabinet after cabinet until he finally found what he was looking for "and found it"
He said pulling the silver aluminum tin, from the draw, he poured the preserved claws onto the table, he began placing each one on his finger tips.
"no" peter said taking the remain claws, "Malia will do it"
"What I…I don't know how"
Peter grabbed his daughters hand and began placing his claws on her fingers, "I trust you completely I will walk you through it" he said giving her a reassuring look, "remember this is the only way we'll find your mother"
Peter removed his shirt, and placed Malia's hand on the back of his neck, "you will stab into my neck, hard enough to touch my spine, but not enough to severe it"
He took a deep breath, "Now" Malia herself took a deep breath stabbed her claws through her father's neck, his eyes glowed searing red as her's glowed stale blue
Peter's Subconscious
Peter drifted in the black void on his mind, doors surrounded him, all seemed familiar except one, it was painted blue, but was burned he remembered this door now it was….Malia's
He turned the knob and was drawn in
Misthaven Condo-16 Years Ago
Peter dropped the brush, it was all coming back to him, Malia was just in the other room, sleeping soundly, you would hardly have believed she was born of two monsters like Peter and _, wait what was her name?
Peter tried to think, "We've been looking everywhere for you brother", Peter turned and saw Marcus in the doorway
"We need to talk brother"
"about what?"
"well for one, running away from Beacon Hills with the baby"
"It was the only way to protect her from him"
"he'll still find you, and he'll hurt you by killing Malia"
"Well I can't fight him, and if running doesn't help, how can I protect her?"
"Well Talia actually had a plan about that"
The Hale House-2 Days Later
"and your sure this will work?" Peter asked preparing for the procedure, Talia washed her hands as Peter took the seat
"Where's Malia?" Peter asked concerned
Talia gave her a reassuring smile "Somewhere she'll be safe, where that monster will never hurt her….Marcus now"
Marcus stabbed his claws in the back of his brother's neck and removed the memories, it was the safest option, separating the father and daughter would be much easier if Peter wouldn't remember, he wouldn't have the urge to track her down and when he returned Malia wouldn't be caught in the crossfire
Now
"AHH!" Peter dropped, to the ground, Nick and Malia quickly picked him back up,
"Did it work?" Nick asked as Peter sat back
"Yes, more than I ever imagined" he had a slightly haunted look to himself, he quickly began scribbling something down on a piece of paper and handed it off to Nick
"here….a deals a deal"
Nick was shocked at the ritual before him "oh my god thank you so much…we should probably get back to Beacon Hills", he said tucking the ritual in his jacket pocket
Peter stopped for a moment "Do you hear that?" he asked, Nick and Malia stopped for a moment sensing the movements outside the vault
Nick sniffed the air for a moment "Shit it's my brother", Nick removed his coat "I'll handle this"
Outside The Vault
Declan stood in front of the vault Michael and Celeste standing behind, Declans face still covered by his scars, his one good eye glowing golden yellow
The vault door cracked open and Nick stepped out fully shifted waiting "So your back huh?" he asked "how's the face" his face looking slightly ashamed, his hand started shaking slightly "Look Declan I might hav.."
"RAWR!" Michael shot past Declan and charged toward Nick
The Fenris Vault
Nick was flung through the solid steel vault, with the savage teen onto of him,Peter and Malia merely just watched as the young alpha was downed, he managed to choke up
"A….little…..help?" he said, Peter looked for a moment then rolled his eyes
"Fine" he said he grabbed Michael by the back of the neck and flung him off, Nick got up gasping up for air
Michael bent over letting out a human like scream, he grabbed at his head and Nick noticed the teen's hands had sharp bones protruding from them, as his hands left his face Nick saw bones protruding form his forehead, and his eyes glowed orange
"Oh shit….I think I know you" he approached "Look let's just keep calm a….ah" before he could react, the teens bone clawed hand went right through his chest
"okay that's it" Malia said pulling Michael from Nick, "dad a little help…..NOW!", Peter punched the downed teen and picked Nick up
"W….What the hell is he?" Nick could barely stand his legs felt numb, both he and Peter caught the scent and new
"Berserker!" they said in almost unison, Nick got back to his feet "well we'll deal with this later, I gotta take care of a pest problem"
Outside The Vault
"Okay brother I'm trying to be civil here, so if you would please just" Declan lunged at him, Nick slammed him to the ground and held him down "So if you would STOP! Fighting me and listen" Declan stopped fighting back
"You calm?"
"yes" Declan said with a defeated tone.
"Good, now where's the girl you were hanging with?"
"I don't know….she probably ran off" Declan said, Nick cringed as he noticed the scars on his brother's face
"Look, I have something I wanna run something past you", he removed his hand from his brother
"I need a beta to augment by strength, and you need to be part of a pack to heal your scars"
"f….fine"
"Good, now let's start with something simple, where did you find Mike?"
"a freighter, with some Germanic symbols on it"
"Show me"
The Freighter
Nick and Declan searched around, until they found they large shipping container, Declan looked at the clipboard "Says it belongs to something called the Kessler Program"
"What the hell is the Kessler program?"
"I don't know, whatever it is I don't think it's anything good"
"why'd you come here in the first place?"
"was looking for something to help me kill you"
There was awkward silence between the brothers which Nick broke with a laugh "brotherly love right?"
Declan's serious face broke and let out a small chuckle his face was healing, already the scares were gone, his left eye was still healing and would blink golden back to brown
"So how did you find out about it?"
"Malik"
"That worm?" Nick rolled his eyes, the guy couldn't even make it into the inner circle and some how he was able to get a Berserker smuggled into the city without any of the connections finding out about it
"I say we pay Malik a visit don't you brother"
The Vault
Michael laid unconscious chained to the vault walls, Peter paced as Malia sat across form the unconscious Berserker
"So…..what'd you see?", Peter stopped pacing
"Not your mother….I saw you Aunt and Uncle removing my memories to protect you from a monster"
"who you?"
"no" Peter said picking up the claws "let's give it one last try see if we can find out more" Malia placed the claws back on her fingers and again stabbed them into her father's neck
Beacon Hills-17 Years Ago
"CRAP!" Peter ran as fast as his legs could take him, but the monster was fast approaching, his dark skin blended into the night, but it's piercing red eyes were the only visible parts, until it opened it's mouth revealing it's razor like teeth, Peter knew he was a gonner
"RAWR!" the grey furred coyote bite into the creature and began tearing into it, as the creature laid injured it ran into Peter signaling they should run, the young Beta ran as fast as he could until both he and the coyote were in the clearing
"Thanks" he was trying to catch his breath until the coyote began turning back, there she stood a beautiful brown haired goddess, her eyes still glowing golden yellow, she had streaks of blonde in her hair, and a innocent look
"no problem Petey" she said kissing his cheek, she was the only person who Peter would let call Petey
"you need to run" he said to her, holding his hands on her face, "meet back at the school, I can handle this"
"Peter please…"
"No Emilia I swore I'd protect you….and her" he said holding his hand against Emilia's stomach, he winked and slowly began to shift and he heard the creature approaching
"You want me Graydon come get me!" he said running toward the monster
Now
"NO!" Peter said dropping to the ground and beginning to seize, Malia screamed in agony as the claws got hot, she flung them off her hand, they fell to the ground and shattered into dust, she ran to Peter "Dad…..Dad"
Foam came from Peter's lips and all he could muttered was "Graydon", Malia watched the claw marks slowly healed on his neck
The Wolfram Hotel
"another round luv" Malik said holding his glass toward the bartender, the bartender shook his head
"sorry man gotta cut you off?" he motioned toward the door, Malik turned and jumped as he saw the Fenris brothers walking in
"oh shit" he pulled the pistol from his coat and began firing, both brothers dodged, but one stray shot hit Nick's shoulder, which when it struck a blue glow sent him flying back, as he got back up "Mountain Ash laced bullets?"
"Courtesy of my contacts" Malik said in a triumphant tone
"The Kessler Program?" Declan asked as he knocked him out
Nick laughed and pulled the bullet from his coat, "Y'know just a word of advice, don't ask a question then knock em out, defeats the purpose"
Declan rolled his eyes and the two carried the unconscious man out
The Vault
Malik shook awake and found himself chained to the chair, Peter Malia stood in front of him and Declan was redoing Micheal's chains
"what am I doing here!?" Malik said trying to break loose,
"well Malik, your gonna answer some questions for us" Nick said holding Malik's pistol "question one what is the Kessler Program?"
"I'm not talking!"
"oh?….Peter" Peter laughed and lifted Malik in the air before slamming him against the vault walls, the chain shattered, and a piece pierced Malik's back
"Declan" Nick said as his brother held his hand on Malik absorbing the pain
"Now I'll ask again what is the Kessler Program?"
"They…..They won't want me to say…..not yet"
"okay that's it" Nick held the pistol to Malik's head, "Now look I am in no mood to deal with this, my girlfriend is kidnapped I'm out 117 million and every wolf in this city wants me dead so…."
CLICK
"see this gun right here is pretty ironic, I mean it hits any of us and it just repels us back, worse we get are some scraps from the ground, you get hit with it and well…"
The gun went off and hit Malik's knee "you get hurt, now make it easy Malik, what the hell is the Kessler Program"
"f….fine….fine they've been around for years, they're a order that wants to rule this world, started by the Axis after the war, they promised me the bite if I smuggled one of there new generation berserkers in"
Nick turned to Micheal, "you know I know this guy, used to be a old friend till he moved away, I thought he'd live a good life, but now because of you and your Nazi friends his life is ruined" he cocked the gun again
"and now that I think about this, all of this was no coincidence, I mean Carly being abducted so I leave Misthaven, you smuggling a berserker to no doubt take over this place, and pitting Declan and me against each other…..so I'll ask where is Carly?"
He cocked the gun again this time placing it against Malik's head, "I….I don't know, I didn't take her man, I swear!"
CLICK
"fingers slipping man, gonna pull it, unless you tell me what I wanna know"
"a guy named Dunbar took her, she's somewhere in Beacon Hills" Nick rolled his eyes, and looked to Peter and Malia
"guess I'm going with you guys"
The Boarder of Misthaven-The Next Morning
Nick leaned against Peter's jeep, facing his brother "should be back in a few weeks, then we'll assemble the remnants of the pack, things are gonna change"
"understood" Declan said
"look I was wrong to do what I did, I'm sorry despite everything I said you are my brother Declan, and I hope when I get back we could work on patching things"
"I'd like that" he said, Nick gave his brother a hug and went in the jeep driving off back to Beacon Hills
