(8)The birch wanted to slap him in the face and blind him, but he tied a ribbon around it, and it let him pass.
"Holy fucking shit man." Scott said as the house made a quick sharp wailing noise before the door slammed open.
"Lanuage." Stiles replied with a chuckle as he stepped more to the house but stopping when Derek grabbed his arm. "Easy Derek, it's fine."
"I don't like this." Chris replied.
"And I don't like you but I still let you guys follow me here." Stiles replied giving Derek a look. "It's fine Derek I promise. Just..don't be rude. Don't yell, don't curse and don't fucking ask questions if you don't want to be dinner."
"You sure she won't?" Lydia asked.
"Follow the rules and you'll be fine." Stiles replied finally getting away from Derek and stepping up onto the porch. He knocked on the open door. "Babushka?"
A hand reached out and grabbed Stiles arm. "You were told to stay out of the woods and far away from here." a women's voice hissed.
"I know we just want to talk." Stiles replied before he was pulled inside the house before any of the wolves could stop it. "Derek I'm fine now wait right there all of you." his voice said before the door shut behind him.
Derek growled but trusted Stiles so he waited and stopped Scott from being stupid. Finally the door opened with a bang.
"One of you at a time. The Alpha, then first beta, the rest of the pack and then the hunters." A voice said from the inside. "And I mean Derek first not you McCall."
"Hey!" Scott protested.
"Shut up McCall." Lydia said firmly.
Derek took a deep breath before stepping up onto the porch and into the house. The door slamming shut behind him.
"Now did you come here or were you sent?" the voice asked.
"I came here for help." Derek replied remembering something he once had heard.
"That was the right answer." the voice replied and the darkness faded from his face and the room seemed to light up. Stiles sat at the table with a cup of tea in his hands and giving Derek a smile.
"Now before I invite everyone else in why don't you have a seat and enjoy some tea. It's fresh." Baba Yaga said. She stood by her oven with a wooden spoon in her hand.
"Yes ma'am." Derek said moving to stand beside Stiles.
"He's got manners." Baba Yaga said. "I think I'll like this one."
"Not for supper." Stiles said. "He's not really a hero but then again."
"He's too young for my taste and I would never eat anyone who means anything to you." She said with a chuckle as she pouted another cup of tea and sat it down in front of the chair next to Stiles. "Now I understand some issues have been going on in the town and Stiles explained that you all think it was me."
"No offense ma'am but it does sort of fit your history." Derek replied.
"Someone listened to the stories I'm surprised but I'm sure Tali taught you that I don't kill outside my woods and even then I don't bother Beacon Hills. Family and all that." Baba Yaga said as she stirred a pot on the stove.
"Yes ma'am but we still have to check everything." Derek replied sipping the tea.
"Alright I'm willing to listen to your reasons and the others." Baba Yaga said after a moment. "Who's your first Beta?"
"Boyd." Stiles answered.
"How did you know that? I haven't told them." Derek replied.
"It wasn't that hard. Erica is still to unpredictable and throws her gender around, Isaac is torn between you and Scott, who I don't care is a lousy pseudo alpha, Jackson still has too much to learn." Stiles explained. "Boyd is the only one who thinks."
Derek started at Stiles in both surprise and somewhat happniss the other understood.
"Alright." Baba Yaga said the door opening. "Boyd, first beta to the Hale pack you first. Then the others. Hunters and Pack McCall stay out there til invited in."
Stiles could see the surprise look on Boyd's face from where he was sitting and tried not to laugh as the other stepped inside the hut, he was soon followed by Erica, Lydia, Jackson and Isaac who scrambled to be behind Stiles. Stiles just smiled and reached out a hand to pat Isaac's arm gently giving the wolf a smile which he returned.
"I'm not going to ask the question again since your Alpha speaks for you." Baba Yaga said looking the wolves over then her eyes settling on Lydia. "A banshee? Now I've seen everything."
"You know what I am?" Lydia said in surprise.
"Yes I do." Baba Yaga replied with a frown as Stiles grabbed Lydia's arm.
"No questions." he reminded her, Lydia looked ready to protest but kept quiet. "Babushka will please invite the others in or Scott will do something stupid and I don't want my best friend to end up as supper though I suspect Chris Argent is more your type."
"Alright my little beautiful one." Baba Yaga said and the door opened again. "Scott McCall, Hunters Argent you may enter my home."
Scott and of course both Argent's look wary at Baba Yaga.
"You can't be her you are far to young." Chris said without thinking making Baba Yaga burst into laughter that seemed to rattle the whole house and the wind outside seemed to shriek with her while the wolves tried not to cover their ears.
"Oh you are my type." Baba Yaga said with a laugh. "But I promise my grand child you would not be supper. To bad to bad." she said still laughing as she rocked back on her feet. "Maybe no supper but something else." she added with a sharp smile that made Allison step closer to her father.
"Babushka." Stiles said.
"Alright my little one, later later." she chattered again in a hum. "So many guests been far to long since so many and not supper."
"Babushka." Stiles said again with a fond smile.
"Sorry dear now tell me, why, despite warnings, and many regeusts you came out here?" She said sitting back on her heels.
"It's getting worse..more and more children and no teenagers are disappearing." Stiles explained. "It..creatures like yours have shown up."
"But our not mine.." Baba Yaga said tapping her spoon. "Some one is using my friend but I can't say who. It is not in my way to tell."
"Then you are no help." Chris said a bit rudely but to his and the others surprise she just smiled sharply.
"Now I said not my kills, my pets and creatures. I never said I wouldn't help." Baba Yaga said. "But of course..it comes with a price."
