Chapter 15: Spark, Halloween & Thanksgiving
"Okay Stiles why don't we start you off with some of the easier like mountain ash." Deaton says motioning towards the table where there were labeled jars with different kind of substances in them.
Like Stiles had told Amber, Junior, and Malcolm the day of Lydia and Jackson renewal ceremony that she will be starting her training with Deaton again so she can help out the pack.
So this is how Stiles finds herself at the Animal Clinic after work with Deaton and Scott.
"Yeah why not I'm a master with that one." Stiles says truthful.
Deaton walks over to the metal table where the labeled jar are. Walking towards the table brought old memories of the time Derek had ask her to cut off his arm, no scratch that ask he threatened her to cut his arm off talk about having your priorities screwed up. Stiles can't forget about the night Allison mom almost killed Scott with wolfsbane and Derek had brought him here for Deaton to help Scott that was the first time Derek actually thanked someone.
"Okay Scott can you go stand in the middle of the floor while Stiles willes the Mountain ash to surround you." Deaton ask.
Scott just nods and walks to stand in the center of the room as Deaton hands Stiles a handful of mountain ash.
"Now Stiles as you know a werewolf or any kind of supernatural threat won't be able to pass ash wants it down." Stiles nods waiting for Deaton to get to the point. "Well you also no they don't travel or attack alone so wants you surround Scott I want you to will the mountain ash to expand through this room."
"What" Stiles turns to look at the vet who is giving her a small smile.
"Will the mountain ash to expand around the room you can do this all you have to focus and believe in yourself you have the spark in you." Deaton says in a calming and caring voice.
"Come on Stiles you can do this." Scott encouraging his bestfriend.
Stiles looks up at her best friend since childhood giving her a lopsided grin. Stiles takes a deep breath as she makes her way towards Scott she stops about 10 feet in front of Scott.
Stiles closes her eyes as she begins to let the mountain ash fall out of her hand as she walks around Scott while seeing the mountain ash surround Scott in her minds eye. When Stiles felt the last of the mountain ash leave out of her hand she open her eyes to see the circle completely surrounding Scott.
" You did it Stiles" Scott says happily as he turns around to face Stiles who was standing behind him when she ran out of mountain ash.
Stiles gives Scott big smile before Deaton comes and pats Stiles on the back looking at her like a proud father. "Great job Stiles now I want you to expand the circle."
"How do I do that exactly?" Stiles asked curiously.
" OK focus on the ash feel it's energy see it then envision it getting circle getting bigger and bigger until it surrounding the room." Deaton says.
With another sigh Stiles did as she was told she focused on the black circle around Scott. After a minute of mentally chanting the same mantra over and over 'expand through this room' and looking at the circle and it still hadn't moved or gave off some type of energy.
" Okay Stiles just stop thinking so much just clear your mind." Deaton say from behind Stiles.
Stiles eyes fall back on the black circle before she closes her eyes blocking out everything that's going through her mind.
After a few more second Stiles opens her eyes focusing on the circle this time her mind is clear she feels free. Stiles eyes then pick up on the orange glow that is covering the mountain ash.
"Ummm...I see an orange glow." Stiles says not taking her eyes away from glowing circle.
" I don't see anything." Scott replies look down and around at the circle he's in.
"You wouldn't Scott" is all Deaton says before he starts talking to Stiles.
"OK good Stiles do you feel the energy from the mountain ash."
Stiles could feel some kind of pulsation coming from the circle it was getting stronger and faster the more Stiles focus. "Yeah"
"Good now will the energy to expand throughout this room." Deaton says.
Stiles closes her eyes keeping her mind blank. She can still feel the energy from the circle which she takes as a good sign. As Stiles let's out a deep breath and imagine the circle expand through the room she feels the energy of the circle pass through her. After the pulsation of energy was slower and weaker Deaton told Stiles to open to see what she had done.
Stiles peeks through her right eye to see Scott standing in front of her with a proud smile on his face.
"You did it" Scott says pulling Stiles in to a hug. Stiles can't do anything but laugh as Scott spins her around.
After Scott put stiles down she looks around the examination room to see orange glow seeping through the four brick walls.
"So that's s how you lined the building with mountain ash." Stiles ask giving the vet a knowing smirk.
"Indeed it is and you now can protect the pack by doing this to their homes." Deaton say.
"Wouldn't that keep the werewolves in the pack blocked from leaving or coming into their homes?" Stiles asks curiously while Scott nods agreeing with Stiles.
"Only if you want it to be that way." Deaton says.
"Care to elaborate on that?" Scott ask.
"Well if you or the person that lives or own the places invites a supernatural creature they will be able to cross but they won't be able to cause to much trouble for you or the owner." Deaton explains.
"Oh okay" Stiles and Scott say in unison.
" So what are these other powder substances?" Scott ask looking over at the table.
"Well you may recognize one other substance on the table." Deaton say walking back over to the table.
Stiles and Scott make their way over to the metal table to get a closer look at the five jars.
"OK obviously this one is mountain ash." Scott says picking up the only open jar that has the black power in it.
"Yeah and this one" Stiles says pointing at a jar with a copper brown color powder" Mistletoe" Remembering the night Deaton had giving Scott a small bottle to expose Ms. Blake for being the Darach.
"Yes, Now can you identity these last three powders." Deaton ask.
Stiles looks over at the other two jars. One jar held a black powder identically to mountain ash if wasn't for the label Stiles would have thought it was mountain ash.
"Colocasia Root" Scott says sounding more like a question.
"Yes this is actually from a native plant from the South Pacific. It's known by two other names such as Elephant ear or Taro it has special properties that blocks a witch's power once in the circle."
"So this is mountain ash to witches right." Stiles ask picking up the jar.
"Exactly and you can will it as you do the mountain ash along with this other powder." Deaton says picking up the other jar.
"What about this liquid stuff in this jar." Stiles asks putting down the Colocasia Root to pick up the liquid.
Deaton gives a little chuckle "something you can find in almost any church."
" Holy oil" Stiles says.
"You can do more than will magical powders Stiles your spark can give give certain properties power." Deaton says.
"Holy oil" Scott says giving Deaton an unconvince look.
"Holy oil is oil blessed by a clergy or a religious person some how beliefs gave them the spark to purified the oil to cast out evil." Deaton explain.
"And how do I do this exactly." Stiles ask.
"Scott can you go get that red bound book in my left top office desk drawer." Deaton ask as Scott nods and leaves the room.
"So is their anything else I can use beside holy oil." Stiles ask curiously.
"Well your blood would be stronger but I know how you get around blood." Deaton says.
"Soooo...what I'm hearing is no Stiles there isn't another way." Stiles says sarcastically making Deaton laugh.
" Okay have the book." Scott says walking into the room with red bound book.
"Thank you Scott" Deaton says taking the book from Scott.
"This book is full of information on magical tress, plants, properties and protection sigils." Deaton says as he opens up the book to and shows Stiles and Scott.
"Protection sigils" Stiles and Scott say at same time as they read the title of the chapter.
" Yes I would like you to read this chapter before anything else in the book." Deaton tells Stiles who just nods.
"So how does it work exactly?" Scott ask very curious.
Deaton turns to a page in the book that shows a symbol of a triple five- pointed star surrounded in a circle. Under the circle its tells what the star does 'Protection against fire' it reads.
Deaton takes the holy oil and pour a little in his hand. Stiles and Scott are now stand across the metal table from Deaton as he draws a circle on the table with holy oil. Deaton then places his hand in the circle and closes his eyes.
Stiles and Scott stand there and watch the vet as he concentrate on making the sigil. After a few more seconds they can see the circle start to glow a golden yellow. When Deaton moves his hand the same drawing in the book is now on Deaton examination table.
" Wow"
"So how do you know it works." Stiles ask.
"Does anyone have a lighter or matches." Deaton ask getting shakes of heads from both adults.
" I think you have some in this drawer." Scott says as he walks to one of the drawer in the room and pull out a box of matches.
"Light it and throw it at the sigil." Deaton says. Scott lites a match then throws it towards the sigil which is now glowing that golden yellow again. Before the match hits the table the sigil cast out a force field engulfing the whole table with the golden glow protecting the table from the fire.
When the match goes out the sigil retracts it shield from around the table back to the sigil that now has stop glowing.
" That was awesome" Stiles and Scott say in a singsong voice.
" Well now this table is forever fire proof." Deaton says.
"So I will learn how to do that once I read this book and practice." Stiles with a hug smile on her face.
"Yes but now you guys should be getting to your families." Deaton after looking up at the clock to see it's almost eight.
" Your right Doc. see you later on this week." Stiles says.
"See you tomorrow Doc." Scott says.

That was two days ago and Stiles was studying that book every chance she could get.
Derek had asked her what the book was the next day when he had seen her reading it on the couch while the rest of the pack was outside laughing and swimming in the pool. Stiles told him about the training with Deaton and the book she was now reading was a book full of information protection sigils, magical properties and other stuff.
The only time Stiles put the book down was when she had to use the bathroom or eat. When seven o'clock rode around Stiles was forced to put the book away by a very demanding Lydia Martin.
Of course what Lydia wants Lydia gets. So Stiles put the book in Derek's room on his dresser before making her way back into the living room making herself comfortable on the couch with Derek while the rest of the pack made themselves comfortable in the living as Boyd popped in the first nigthmare on Elm Street and that's how the pack spent the night before Halloween.

"Amber Elise Hale bring you but down here right now it doesn't take that long to put on a costume." Stiles yells from the bottom of the stairs in the kitchen.
"I'm here" the thirteen year old girl says coming down stairs wearing a black leather body suit, black knee high boots and a red wig on her head. "Is everyone already here."
"Yeah Junior walked in there now I know why you were laughing when he pick it out." Stiles says with a smile on her face.
Before Stiles and Amber could even make it out of the kitchen good they heard two voices arguing back and forth. The voices belonging to Christina and Junior.
" Take it off." The blonde girl yell.
"Ummm...no thank you" the raven haired boy said.
"You guys look so cute in your costumes did you plan this." Stiles says taking in their appearance.
Junior had decided to dress up as the Green Arrow. He was wearing a dark green leather suit with the matching boots. Derek had bought him his own custom bow and arrow green of course he though Stiles told him he didn't have to.
Now Christina just so happen to dress up as the black Canary aka the green arrows wife. Christina was wearing a black leather bodice and a black leather jacket, black fishnet stockings and leather boots her long blonde hair was in loose curls, she had the black and yellow makeup that resemble feathers for a mask.
"Doesn't green arrow marry the black canary?" Scotty ask getting a death glare from both teens.
" yeah he does." Amber says.
"Woah your Black widow from Avengers." Lucas says.
"Your captain America" Amber replies "we avengers have to stick together."
Stiles look around to see what everyone else was dress up as Lydia and Jackson was dress up as Cleopatra and Anthony. Erica and Boyd was dress up as a Doctor and sexy candy striper while their son James was a power ranger. Cora and Michael was dress as a 20's flapper girl and a mob boss. Somehow Scott had convinced Allison to dress up as princess Leia while he was Han Solo their daughter Alisha was Supergirl while Scotty dress up as Batman. Isaac and Monica was dress up as Sandy and Danny from grease while Patrick was a miniature Zorro. Danny and Malcolm was dress as a hot fireman (Danny) and hot police officer (Malcolm). Stiles and Derek were dress as Snow White and the Huntsman.
"You can't be the green arrow because if people see us together they might think we're dating or something and I'm with Robert." Christina explains.
"Well that good for you and Robby but I'm still not changing my costume." Junior smirks at her.
Christina let's out a aggravated grunt "you are the most pompous inconsiderate imbecile I have ever met."
Junior smirk becomes a full out grin now " you forgot good looking, charming, funny I can go on all night talking about myself, but I really want some candy."
" Yes, so let's get a move on it." Derek says trying his best not to laugh at his son and Christina.
"Aye captain" Junior says making the pack laugh.

The rest of the night went by smoothly if you ignore Christina threat to take one of Junior arrow and stick it somewhere the sun doesn't shine, to Junior "kind" gesture to supply her with flesh eating acid to drink. After that Jackson and Derek had to split the two teens up for about a good half an hour.
Let's just say that no one will need candy for at least three months. The pack had collected almost every kind of candy made. The little kids was allowed to eat two pieces of candy before they were sent to bed.
"Best Halloween ever." Amber says as she unwraps a piece of candy and puts it in her mouth.

November was a month of accomplishing task for everyone in the pack.
Stiles had lined every pack member house up with mountain ash just in case a threat decided to show up never can be to careful when dealing with the supernatural.
Now doing the sigil for protection from fire was a little difficult for Stiles to convince the pack to allow her to do especially Derek, Cora, and Peter, but she couldn't blame them after what happen to them.
So when Stiles pulls up to Derek house in her old jeep while the pack is outside training and pulls out the small bottle of holy oil and squeezes some in her hand and places on the hood of her jeep and wills the sigil to to form on the hood then takes out a small lighter and takes a few steps back then throws the lite lighter toward the jeep the sigil glows before forming a shield around the jeep until the fire goes out.
After that the whole pack agreed to let her set sigil around their homes. So Stiles set up two sigils at each house the fire protection sigil and a sigil to ward offth evil or a threat.
Stiles wasn't the only one who had a busy start in November. Junior and Lucas had decided to try out for the basketball team while Scotty tried out for Soccer.
Let's just say all the Derek, Peter, Jackson, and Scott was over the roof. It was only right to let Derek and Peter practices with Junior and Lucas since they both played basketball in school so two weeks before try outs Derek and Peter took Junior and Lucas to the local gym so they could train meaning: suicides, dribbling, free throws, three poitwnters, they even went as far to making their own play book up.
Jackson and Scott helped Scotty prepare for Soccer using their skill he had from lacrosse.
So when the second week of November approached the four men were waiting to see how try outs went.
The three teens gave the same answer to everyone that ask. " It went great the coach said he will tell us before or after Thanksgiving because the first game is in December."
The women in the pack had made a plan to split up the duties of Thanksgiving dinner. Allison and Erica had got the job of cooking the the baked foods such as: baked macaroni and cheese, baked beans, bread pudding. Lydia and Cora had the desserts such as: Sweet potatoes pies, Peach cobbler, one chocolate cake and one white cake. Christina and Amber were assigned to make the potato salad, and fruit salad for the sheriff. Monica and Alisha was to get enough dishes for everyone to eat on, drinks non alcoholic drinks for the adults and cold drinks and juices for the kids, and of course the cranberry sauce. Stiles and Melissa had the job of cooking the Turkey and Ham, red beans and rice, corn bread, mash potatoes and gravy, baked chicken. All the men had to do was come with an appetite which they happily agreed to.

So Thanksgiving morning at eight o'clock in the morning the pack stared to show up. First it was Scott, Allison, Scotty, Alisha, and Mrs. McCall. Next was Boyd, Erica and James followed by Danny, Malcolm, and the sheriff. Cora, Michael, Peter showed up next. Issac, Monica, and Patrick was next and of course the the Withmores would show up last.
Derek and Stiles actually invited Diana to Thanksgiving since her family was dealing with a rival pack but she declined saying Drew had invited her to Thanksgiving with his family.
Around ten o'clock everyone was sitting around the dining table with all the mouth watering food in the center.
After their grace Stiles asked everyone to go around the table tell us something we're all thankful.
Derek being the Alpha went first. "I am thankful for pack...family" Derek said looking around the table at everyone his eyes staying on Stiles, Junior and Amber a little longer.
Stiles being the Alpha mate was next. "I thankful for being home...friends and family."
After that everyone went around happily expressing their own gratitude, they also found out that Junior and Lucas made the basketball team and Scotty made it on the soccer team after that everyone dug into the food.
When everyone was full and stuffed the guys all agreed to clean up its the least they could do after the women cooked that amazing feast.
Next the pack all moved to the living room stretching anywhere they could and watched the football game.
The pack was content for the rest of the day just being surround with each other being with family unaware of the threat will soon come to Beacon Hills.
