Chapter 24: The Distraction
Stiles P.O.V.
It's been a week since Nicholas has attacked us and hasn't returned, but I know it won't be the last attempted and if by the warning ward I have around Beacon Hills and the burning sensation I get whenever a supernatural creature that's not in the pack enter which has been happen all week long.
It's not Nicholas, Marco, or the witch Christina had told us using her power to see if it was them, meaning Nicholas had called in reinforcements and planning on something. The only problem was that we didn't know how many people he had working for him or who they were and according to Junior and Christina she could only see through the people eyes she had meet so far wish I guess Nicholas figured out also.
I was brought out of my thoughts when I felt someone tap me on my shoulder turned to see Lydia.
"Hey Lydia, What are you doing here?" I ask giving her a smile.
"Well its four O'clock Stiles" Lydia says rolling her eyes when she sees that I don't know what she's hinting at. "I'm here to pick you up, because Derek still at the office and ask me too pick you up on my way to the manor."
"Oh okay" I say standing up from the chair I had been sitting in waiting for Derek to come pick me up from work.
"Let me just use the restroom." Lydia says before handing me her keys then heads towards the restroom.
I grab all my belongings as I make my way towards door. Just as I'm about to leave Suzie the hostess calls my name.
"Hey Suzie" I reply giving the woman a smile.
"Hey" She says her eyes falling to my stomach that is now showing a little baby bump. "How's the mom to be?"
"Just a little tired, but other than that I'm good I'll sleep when I get some sleep before the basketball game tonight." I say as I rub my baby bump.
"Oh yeah it's your son's second game tonight" She smiles at me "hopefully someone will knock some sense into that Laurence kid tonight" The smile on her face now a frown.
I couldn't help but laugh at raven haired woman. "I think Junior and Lucas will do that if it's a repeat from the last game." Now Suzie was the one to laughing.
Before either of us could say anything else a couple walked into the restaurant.
"I'll see you tonight?" I ask Suzie who nods and tell me she and Molly would be there with Molly's new guy friend she met a few weeks back before she heads to greet the guest and I had to Lydia's car.

After a few minutes of waiting on Lydia she makes her way out of the restaurant with a somber look on her face as she keeps glancing back towards my job. Once she makes it to the car she starts it with a word and drives out of the parking lot.
I only can keep quiet for so long when I know something is wrong so after five minutes on the road I break the silence when I look over at Lydia who seems to be more relax now that we are away from my job. "Lydia"
I call her name but she doesn't respond so I try again "Lydia" I say a little bit louder than before and this time Lydia takes her eyes away from the road to glance over at me.
"What's wrong? Did something happen while you were in the restaurant? Did Nicholas have someone watching you? Oh My God is the pack okay?" I couldn't stop the question from coming out. It seem like the more I ask the more I freaked out and began to worry I was just about to take my phone out and call Derek when Lydia reached over and took both of my hands in her hands.
"Stiles look at me calm down everything is okay" Lydia voice is calm and soothing making Stiles finally to stop talking and look up to see Lydia had pulled over on the side of the street. "The packs fine I just got one of my feelings when I bumped into some girl coming out of the restroom."
"So the pack is okay?" I ask just to make sure.
"Yes, Stiles the pack is fine are you okay?" Lydia asks.
"Yeah I'm better now" I say my voice calmer now.
"Good because having a panic attack is not something I feel like telling Derek about than he'll get all broody and worrisome for the rest of the day." Lydia says looking at me trying her best to imitate one of Derek brooding looks making me laugh.
"That's my boyfriend you're talking about?" I tell her even though I can stop laughing.
Seeing my laugh and relax Lydia pulls the car back on the street and starts to drive us toward Derek's house. I don't even know when we get there because within another few minutes I fall asleep.

No One's P.O.V.
Stiles wakes up to someone calling her name and tapping her on the shoulder. "Mom wake up and get dress are we're going to be late for the game." She recognized the voice belonged to her oldest child, so when she turns around she finds Junior in his basketball uniform looking at her with crossed arms and one raised eyebrow.
"I'm up" Stiles groans.
"Good but can you get up out of the bed and come on." Junior says getting met with a death glare from Stiles. "I mean that in the most respectful, non sarcastic, way possible." Junior says flashing his mom a smile.
"Yeah I'm sure you do?' Stiles said as she stood up from the bed and slipped on more comfortable clothes and shoes. "Let's go" Stiles says heading towards the door.

The Hale pack watches from the stand as Lucas makes another three pointer making the team in the lead by twelve now and home team stands erupt into cheers, but no one was louder than the pack.
Junior and Lucas were on fire in this game. Robert once again tried to get the team to freeze out Junior and Lucas in the first quarter, but after Peter went down and talked to the coach Robert was placed on the bench.
When the pack ask what Peter said to the coach he all gave them smug smile and told them not to worry about it.
It wasn't until the middle of the third quarter that everything change; not because of the game because the team was still in the lead, but because every wolf in the pack got really still even Lucas and Junior who was supposed to be listening to the coach give them a new play while taking a time out.
"What is it?" Stiles ask Derek noticing all the wolves starring at the gym door with an intent gaze.
Stiles doesn't have to wait long for her answer because when the gym door opens in walks Nicholas. "What is he doing here?" Allison ask the question everyone was thinking.
Nicholas eyes instantly fall on Stiles then gave her a smile, before walking over to the other side of the gym to the guest stands. The pack gaze never leaving his until he made it to the top of the bleachers.
"Oh my God no" Lydia suddenly says capturing everyone's attention. Lydia attention wasn't on the Demon wolf, but on the four people walking into the gym.
"I thought I killed her." Peter says confusion clearly on his face as his eyes land on the red head witch.
"Oh the bitch will be when I get my hands on her." Monica says surprising everyone except Isaac at her harsh tone.
But Stiles doesn't say anything about it because now she looking at her two coworkers Suzie and Molly who have showed up with Marco and the witch who they thought had died.
Suddenly Stiles remembers Suzie mentioning Molly new guy in her life and how they would be here tonight. Then she remembers Lydia telling her about the girl she had run into at her job and how she got the feeling of Death from the girl.
Stiles turn around to look at the strawberry blonde that looks a little pale now. "Lydia please tell me that's not the girl" Stiles ask and she can feel the tears start to work their way up when Lydia looks at her with sad eyes "Sorry Stiles".
"What's going on?" Scott asks trying to understand why Stiles is nearly in tears.
"I had a vibe from that girl that she was going to die soon "Lydia explains low enough the werewolves can hear. "Now it all makes sense their going to kill her tonight."
Before anyone could say anything Suzie and Molly was making their way over towards Stiles with Marco right behind them as the witch made her way to Nicholas.
"Hey Stiles and Stiles' friends and family" Molly the young perky blonde says walking as she walks up the bleachers to stand in front of Stiles.
There is a round of hello's going around from each pack member; the wolves' eyes staying on Marco the smug looking werewolf. "Oh Yeah Stiles you remember Marco" Molly unaware of the intent gazes the werewolves are giving the blonde wolf. "He said you guys knew each other and had history."
"Yeah we have history" Stiles eyes leaving the blondes brown eyes to glance at Marco who's now looking at her. "What are you doing here Marco?" Stiles ask giving him her best fake smile.
"Just come to watch the game." Marco says.
"Well we just came over here to say hi" Molly says giving Stiles a smile before turning her attention to Suzie who had made herself comfortable next to Amber "I'll see you at the end of the game." With a smile and a nod from Suzie Molly takes that as her cue to go down the bleacher and walk with Marco over to the other side of the gym to sit with Nicholas and Lucille.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Lydia mumbles and Stiles can't but agree with her and the mischievous smile Nicholas is sending her way not making the feeling any easy.

The adults pack members were waiting in the parking lot for Junior and Lucas while Christina, Amber, and Scotty waited inside after winning their game and to make sure Nicholas didn't try anything.
"Well I'll see you tomorrow at work Stiles" Suzie said as she gives Stiles a goodbye hug.
"Goodnight Suzie and tell Molly I'll see her tomorrow" Stiles says giving the raven haired woman a Stiles.
"That's if she still not out with that Marco guy" Suzie said and the way she said Marco name let the pack she didn't like or trust him.
"What she left with him?" "When?" Stiles ask stopping her coworker from turning to leave.
"About ten minutes before the game ended she texted me." Suzie said just as Nicholas and Lucille walked out of the School building. Nicholas looks over at the pack giving the smug smile before him and the witch head the other direction.
"Oh okay well thanks Suzie have a good night" Stiles says giving the woman a smile before the woman leaves.
"Oh God" Lydia says knowing what that means for the young blonde. "We need to find them now"
"How?" Stiles ask.
"I can try to track her by using a spell, but I don't know if she's dead right now." Malcolm offer as an idea.
"She not I would know" Lydia says pulling out the keys to car. "Let's go and you guys go stop Nicholas and whatever game he's playing." And with that Lydia and Malcolm run towards her car.
After Lydia and Malcolm pull out of the parking lot the remaining pack looks around the vacant parking lot only to see Nicholas is nowhere in sight, but they do see his red headed witch smiling at them while she leans on the red mustang.
"Where's Nicholas?" Stiles ask as she walks over to the witch the pack right behind her.
The witch actually smiles at the pack there is no fear in her eyes that is until she starts to scream and fall to her knees. Everyone turns to see find out what's happen only to see Monica holding her palm out towards the witch chanting something in Latin.
"Scream all you want no one is going to hear you" Monica says kneeling down to the red headed witch. "Now I figure you have the power of regeneration healing making you heal from all injuries inflicted on you so as I break every bone in your body with this spell it just heal over and over again, but the bitch about this power you fell every injury when it breaks or heal in place."
As Monica makes a circular motion with her hand the young witch screams out in pain again. "Tell us where Nicholas is and what he wants?" Monica demands.
The witch looks up in Monica blue eyes that are normally peacefully and kind, but now take on a cold almost murderous look and Lucille knows that this woman will kill her if she doesn't, so doing the only thing that can save her from being killed she tells what she knows.
Lucille looks only at Stiles when she begins to talk "Nicholas doesn't like being humiliated or not being able to have the upper hand on his enemy, so he has to take them out before he can continue his plans."
When Lucille didn't says anything else the pack took that as all she had to say and with a quick flick of her Monica wrist Lucille neck is snapped making her fall to the ground.
"Did you just kill her?" Allison asks her eyes on the young witch body.
"I wish but her healing power will revive her in about thirty minutes." Monica says. "We should take her with us and see what information me and Malcolm can get out of her together. 'Isaac quickly picks up the temporary dead witch agreeing with his wife.
"So who humiliated him I mean he been here for a couples days we only meet him once." Erica starts when Stiles interrupts her.
"When Christina used her powers on him" Stiles around to the pack, but her eyes landing on Jackson "She proved to be stronger than him, she humiliated him in front of his pack" Stiles said doing quotation marks around the word "Pack".
"Are you telling me that that son of bitch is after my baby girl" Jackson growls is his flashing blue.
"I think so and I think the whole Marco with Molly was a set up to distract us from the bigger mission." Stiles said just as a roar comes from the school.
"Scotty" Scott said recognizing his son roar.
"Christina" Jackson said as he and Scott runs towards the school.
"Isaac, Monica take the witch to the manor." Derek says going in complete Alpha mode "Stiles, Allison I need you to go with them too" Derek put his hand up to stop the two women from objecting. "I know you want to help, but we can help the kids if we're distracted trying to protect you and the babies."
"Fine" both women sigh knowing Derek was right they would only be a distraction. So with a quick kiss Stiles and Allison follow behind Isaac and Monica. Turning to look at Erica and Boyd "Let's go" Derek says as the three wolves run towards the School.
Before they can get to the steps of the school they hear snarling, bodies making contact with lockers and floor, so when they open the door to the school they're not surprised to see Scott and Jackson trying to fighting a pack of werewolves. Without Derek even having to say something Boyd and Erica take off towards the fight taking out two werewolves. Derek quickly joins in the with only one thing in mind 'Protect his pack'

Same time Stiles and the pack are outside
"What's taking them so long?" Christina complains as Amber, Scotty, and her wait in the hallway near the boy's locker room for Lucas and Junior.
"I know right everyone else has come out already." Amber points out as she rest her head on Scotty shoulder while his arm is snaked around her waist.
"Maybe you should you know look in on what they're doing?" Scotty suggest to Christina.
"Eww no, what if they're in the shower I don't what to see my brother or Junior." Christina said her face twisting in disgust.
"Yeah, I'm sure you don't" Amber said sarcastically.
"How about you two listen in and see what you pick up?" Christina says changing the subject.
Christina watched as the two werewolves tuned in to the locker room before they both got weird and confused looks on the face.
"What do you hear?" Christina asked.
"Nothing" Amber mumbles.
"Not even a heartbeat" Scotty says.
Before another word was spoken Amber ran to the locker room pushing the door open to find Junior and Lucas passed out on the floor.
"Junior" Amber screams as she runs over to her brother falling to her knees.
Christina does the same thing as Amber, but placing Lucas head in her lap. "Oh god are they-"
"No their alive just unconscious" Scotty said knowing what Christina was about to say.
"Who did this?" Amber asks looking down at her brother who seem to be waking up. "Junior"
Junior mumbles something so low the werewolves couldn't pick it up. "What" Amber as leaning closer towards her brother to hear.
"Trap" Junior words are clearer than before. "You have to get her out of here." Junior eyes are now open looking up at his twin the same time Lucas bolts up from laying in his sister lap.
"What happen to you guys?" Christina asks as she helps her brother up.
"A warlock" Junior answers as he stands up from off the floor.
"He was already in here and invisible until all the humans were out then he showed himself asking about you" Lucas eyes landing on his sister. "We didn't give you up and before we could attack he used an aneurism spell on us rendering us unconscious."
As if Lucas had just jinx them all the four wolves instantly fell down to their knees screaming in agonizing pain while gripping their heads.
"Run!" Scotty roars loudly at Christina as his eyes keep flashing to between brown and amber.
Christina was conflicted on one hand she didn't want to leave her pack mates to this invisible warlock she's not the same girl she was a few months ago. Now she's this supernatural being with immense amount of power that can help her pack. On the other hand she's the reason why her brother and friends are in this predicament now and the best case scenario she run into her dad or an adult in the pack to help her out.
So with her mind made up Christina runs towards the door unaware of the green powdery substance placed in front of the door entrance. So when the blonde made it to the door she was met by a golden shimmering wall knocking her down on her butt.
"Ouch" The blonde groans as she stands up looking at the shimmering wall disappear. "What the hell was that?"
It was then that the male witch made his presence known by whispering in Christina's ear. "Iron Sulphate it's a bitch to your kind."
Quick thinking Christina jabs her elbow into the warlock stomach ignoring the sharp intake of breath he takes and grabs a hold of his arm and flips him on the floor.
"Give me one reason why I shouldn't blast you here right now" The blonde demands ready to use her power if he makes the wrong move.
Instead of answering her with words the brunette warlock starts to laugh. "Your powers are useless in here now I made sure of that with that green powder surrounded in this room." The warlock watched as the blonde looked towards the door her eyes darting from left to right obviously seeing the iron sulphate on both side of the door.
Using this moment as an opportunity to get the upper hand the warlock uses his telekinesis to send Christina hurtling back towards the lockers.
After getting up from off of the floor the warlock made his way over to the Christina who was wincing and holding her side obvious in pain from the impact with the lockers.
The male witch picks Christina up by her throat slamming her into the lockers again. "Don't worry kid I'll end your suffering quick." He says seeing the pain from hitting the lockers again etched on her face.
With that said the warlock conjures up a sliver dagger. "Most magic doesn't work against your kind, but all weapons can kill you."
Christina starts to struggle trying to get out of the guy's hold only making him laugh at her attempt. "Don't fight; give it up no one going to save you." The guy brings the dagger up to Christina throat.
When the cool sharp steel makes contact with Christina skin, she stops struggling so that she doesn't accidentally cut herself. If she's about to die she's not going to die looking scared and weak, so instead she looks in the warlock brown eyes with new confidence. "Do it and stop talking already." Her voice comes out calm and strong she can see the surprise in his eyes before he smirks.
Christina eyes never leave the warlock's eyes as his hand grips the handle of the dagger tighter, until her peripheral vision catches movement behind the warlock looking up she can see Lucas and Scotty behind him eyes glowing their usually amber color.
"On second thought...I think it's you whose about to die." Christina says a smile playing on her lips. Before the guy can say or do anything Lucas has grab him by the back of the shirt and sling him across the room. Scotty and Lucas already following where his body lands to keep him occupied.
Before Christina can even completely falling to the floor Junior right their catching her looking at her with worried eyes? "Can you walk?"
"I think I broke a couple of ribs." Christina tells him wincing with every breath she takes.
"Okay" Junior says as he picks Christina up in bridal style "Let's get you out of here."
"The door..." Christina begins to say, before being cut off by Amber.
"I've taken care of that now." Christina turns her head from resting on Junior chest to see Amber a few feet away from the door with a broken wooden stick in her hands."Now get her out of here and be careful." After giving them both a smile Amber runs pass them to join Lucas and Scotty fight with the warlock.
As they get closer to the door Christina closes her eyes and prays that that shimmering wall doesn't appear to knock them on their butts.
"You can open your eyes not we're out of the locker room now." The sound of Junior voice makes her open her eyes to see indeed they are out in the hallway walking towards the exit of the back of the school.
Before they could make it outside of the school good there was a purple powdery and green powdery substance blown into both teens faces rendering them unconscious.
The last thing the two teens saw was Nicholas bending over them with a smug look on his face "Put them in the van."
A/N:
So Nicholas as Christina and Junior what do you think will happen to them.
Will Stiles and the pack find them in time before something horrible happens?
Until next time.
