Chapter 39: Seeing the Truth
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Wolf
'Lydia'
"Lydia...wake up" the voice said louder this time.
"Go away Jackson" Lydia mumbles as she rolls over.
"I'm not Jackson"
Lydia eyes snapped open at the male's confession, she sits up looking around frantically only to realize she's not at home in her bed, but in darkness and the man crouch down in front of her is Drew.
"Drew" Lydia says as she looks around once more. She doesn't know where she is are how she got here. The one thing she does know is that she gets a bad feeling from this place. "Where are we?"
Her green eyes staring into Drew's gray eyes.
"We're in my head." Drew states matter-of-factly tone.
"What?" Lydia said more to herself. How is that possible? Of course it's possible anything is possible when the supernatural is involved. "How did I get in your head?"
"I don't know?" Drew said standing up and holding out a hand for Lydia to take. She does after a few seconds later. "I guess it has something to do with you being a banshee." He says as he and Lydia walk through the darkness.
"Unless you're dying or dead...wait you just called me a banshee." Lydia said taking a few steps back from Drew. "How do you know what I am?"
Is this the reason Nicholas wanted him? Could he be some type of supernatural creatures? If so how could they have missed him using his abilities?
"Nicholas knows so I know." Drew said. He didn't approach the banshee afraid she would retreat away from him.
"Nicholas is dead." Lydia states. She felt it the moment Derek slit his throat, just like she felt his pack deaths that night.
"Physically yes, spirituality no" Drew replied. "Apparently one of his witches put his spirit in my body so that he could continue to live on, until tomorrow.
"Why? What's tomorrow?" Lydia asked when the answer popped into her head. "The worm moon."
Tomorrow was Lydia birthday, which also meant the worm moon was tomorrow. The only moon that gives her the power to bring the dead back from the dead. The one and only time she did that was Peter and she was being controlled then.
"How did he find out about me being a banshee?" Lydia asked. No one knew what she was except the pack and Diana. "Diana"
"No!" Drew yells before hanging his head low in shame. "Marco Malcolm sister, and me...he looked through my memories."
"Well if he thinks I'm going to resurrect him he's going to be very disappointed. Plus he needs an alpha to lend him their strength and I'm pretty sure Derek would rather become a beta before that happens." Lydia argues, her hands on her hips.
"He doesn't need an alpha" Drew lifts his head to look at Lydia, whose now looking at him with a confused look. "Apparently since he's a demon wolf he doesn't need the power of a Alpha wolf, just you to resurrect him."
"He's going to have to kill me before that happens." Lydia promised herself after Peter using her she will never be manipulated ever again.
Lydia watches as Drew opens his mouth to reply when he closes his mouth and turns around facing the darkness.
The bad feeling she had earlier creeping back up her spine, but ten times worst. "Drew" her voice coming out as whispers.
"You need to wake Lydia "the rushes over to her, gripping her arms tightly looking at her with fearful eyes. "He can't know you know. You all have to stop him even if you have to kill me."
Lydia felt a dreadful feeling come over her at his statement. He was willing to die to keep them safe. She knew they weren't going to let him die, if there was a chance to save him.
"We'll save you" Lydia promised. She did not want to have to wail for him.
Drew gave her a small smile. "Thanks. Now wake up!" Drew said releasing his hold on her.
Lydia shot up in her bed looking around to make sure she was indeed in her bedroom.
"What's wrong?" Jackson asked, placing his hands lightly on her back and shoulders.
This isn't the first time Lydia as woken up looking panicked. When they were younger and know what Lydia truly was she would wake up in the middle of the night and just scream. Sooner or later they would find a dead body.
"We need to call a pack meeting. Now!" Lydia said once she collects her thoughts and able to push the dreadful feeling away.

"So Drew is possessed by Nicholas?" Stiles asked from her spot on the couch curled up with Derek. Now five months pregnant.
"Yeah" Lydia said. Jackson had sent out a pack text message telling them Lydia had a dream and to meet at Derek home.
Everyone knows when Lydia has a dream something bad is about to happen.
"That explains Kayla vision." Junior said, reminding them of one of the twins' best friends that came for the twins' birthday party last month. She was a seer and had seen Drew surrounded in darkness and screaming for help.
"That's why we haven't seen anything suspicious involving Drew, because it was Nicholas." Scott said.
For the last month and a half the pack had been watching Drew, with the help of Diana and coming up empty. Now it all made sense.
"Why weren't we able to catch his demon scent when he was here?" Erica asked. "Or Diana she's sleeps next to him."
"It probably was covered by a masking spell from May, Kourtney, and Crystal." Lindsey said. It would be the first time.
"What was his plan?" Isaac asks. "To lure you out somewhere and kidnap you and hope you resurrect his body."
"He's not touching her!" Jackson growls his eyes flashing blue.
Jackson had been pacing the living room ever since Lydia had told them what her dream was and what the real Drew had told her. Lydia and Derek literally had to talk and restrain Jackson from going to kill Drew/Nicholas.
"How do we know this was real and not some type of set up? What if Drew isn't possessed at all?" Danny asks.
"We can cast a spell to see." Malcolm says.
Lindsey shakes her head. "May would know and warn him."
"I could do it." Patrick said from the hallway. All the little kids were supposed to be up stairs while the other pack members talked. "I can help."
Over the last month and a half Junior and Patrick would go out in the woods and Junior would have Patrick meditate, after finding out that meditation helps control and manifest shaman powers faster.
The first few weeks nothing seem to be happening, but as Patrick fell into the routine of meditation he began to be able to Astral Project like he did into Lindsey mind when she was doing the dream quest to remember who she was. Soon after he was able to see Junior wolf face shadowed over his normal ace, he could see the magic inside of the witches, Stiles, and Christina. They found out that powers called True Sight giving him the power to see a person true nature. He was also able to absorb the energy around him to heal and form a ball of energy in his hands.
"Why aren't you upstairs" Monica said getting up from her spot to go and take her son back upstairs.
"I can help" Patrick repeats as he eyes fall on Junior. "Tell them I can Junior. I've been practicing just like you told me."
"What is he talking about?" Isaac asks everyone now looking at Junior.
"For the last month and a half I've been taking Patrick out in the woods to develop his powers as a shaman. One of his powers he's developed was true sight allowing him to see a person true form."
"Why?" Isaac asked. He wasn't mad on the contrary he was glad that Patrick had someone like Junior to look up too. It reminded Isaac of his relationship with his brother Camden before he died.
"So he could protect himself if need be." Junior replies. Being a part of the supernatural world you have to learn at a young age to protect yourself and the ones you love.
"And I can too mommy" Patrick said holding his hands inches apart as different colors sparked between his hands until formed white ball of light.
"What is that?" Lucas asked looking at the ball of light with wide eyes.
"It's energy" Junior said with a look of admiration on his face. "He can harness energy from the realms and use it to heal or as an attack."
Monica watches as the energy flows into her son, he glows briefly before he returns to number. Looking over her shoulder back at Isaac. "What do you think?"
Isaac instinct to keep his son safe and out of this battle was front and center, but he also had to keep the pack safe and if what Lydia was saying was true then they need to know the truth before they were blindsided and the whole pack was killed.
"He's our only safe bet...let's do it."

Isaac was waiting in the car while Junior and Patrick went in Armour to see if Nicholas was actually in Drew's body. If or when Patrick saw the truth he was going to make an excuse to go and tell Junior what's what.
Walking into the restaurant Junior and Patrick was greeted by Suzie the hostess, before she pointed them towards Drew standing behind the bar talking to a caramel skinned woman in a hushed voices.
"You ready bud" Junior asked Patrick as they walked over to Drew.
"Yeah" the young shaman says as he focus his new ability on Drew.
When Nicholas sees Junior and Patrick approaching he ends the conversation with the woman sitting in the stool.
"Junior" Nicholas says in a fake happy tone. "What I do for you today?" He also noticed the little blonde kid standing close to Junior.
He remembered the kid from the one time he had come to the Hale Manor and Junior shielded the boy when he was about to attack him. He also remember that was the day Junior stabbed him in the neck.
Maybe if his plan for tomorrow failed, this little boy could be hid back up plan.
Junior wasn't stupid far from it, and he knew if this was actually Nicholas he may not be a werewolf anymore, but he was still half demon, meaning he still had his demonic powers.
"My mom...she has a craving for the red velvet cake you guys sell here." It was partly true, after deciding Isaac would take them to see Drew/Nicholas Stiles asked for a piece of red velvet cake.
"Sure" Nicholas pushes himself off of the bar counter. "I'll go get that" he said making his way to the back to the kitchen.
"Well aren't you a cutie" the caramel skinned woman said drawing Junior and Patrick attention. "Hi I'm Crystal"
With Patrick still focusing his power he was able to see with his eyes the dark purple energy flowing throughout her body he instinctively recognized as dark magic.
Her magic is darker in color than he's seen from his mom and the other magic welders in the pack. She has lines of dark purple following through her veins whereas in his mom and the others are blue or a brighter color.
Patrick steps behind Junior instead of speaking to the woman. "Sorry" Junior said to the woman. He heard when Patrick's heartbeat spiked as soon as he laid eyes on the woman. "He's shy" Junior placed a hand on Patrick shoulder.
As soon as she said her name Junior remembers Nicholas has a witch name Crystal and she was his backup plan. She's the one that put Nicholas spirit into Drew body something clicks into Junior brain.
The woman smiles. "No his parents taught him well. Don't talk to strangers."
"Who's a stranger?" Nicholas said coming back at the end of the conversation. He hated not having his super hearing and his other werewolf powers. "Here you go Junior. Tell Stiles it on the house." He hands over the plastic container that holds the red velvet cake.
When Patrick looks at Drew this time he doesn't see Drew, but Nicholas looking at him.
Junior feels Patrick tugging on his leg urgently, looking down at him Junior ask. "What's wrong bud?"
"I have to go to the restroom" Patrick said faking rocking back and forth on his feet.
"Okay come on" Junior knowing that was a lie as he walked Patrick towards the restrooms.
After disappearing out of sight of Crystal and Nicholas Patrick turns around to tell Junior that Drew is in fact possessed by Nicholas.
With that figured out now Junior and Patrick make their way out of the restaurant, while the young wolf listens in to the hushed conversation of the two people at the bar.
"Do you have everything for tomorrow night? " Nicholas asked.
"All we need is the banshee." Crystal said.
"Don't worry I have a plan to make sure she'll be there."

It was the night of Lydia birthday and Scott, Allison and Alisha were at the market picking up the Lydia's cake and a few other things before heading to the Whitmore house.
Scott was walking the aisle of the store grabbing drinks and chips throwing them in basket for the party tonight while Allison and their daughter was getting the cake.
Scott came to a complete stop, sniffing the air as a familiar scent made it's way to his nose.
Magic.
Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching behind him, Scott turns around only to see a woman with curly brown hair and blue eyes blowing enough powdery wolf banes into his face to fall to the ground.
"Scott!" Scott heard Allison scream from down the aisle. The same time heard Alisha say "Daddy!."
Before Scott passed out he saw two other figures pass by him towards Allison and Alisha.
...
After finding out Drew was indeed possessed the pack had decided it was best if Lydia was out of Beacon Hills for her birthday so today Lydia spent most of the day with Jackson, Christina, and Lucas, her parents, Sister, niece, and brother-in-law.
Lydia did enjoy herself today, even if her parents argued half the day, but she also wanted to spend the day with her second family the pack.
So when they got back to Beacon Hill around six this even she had Jackson invite the pack over to celebrate with a little pizza, and drinks nothing to big.
Now it was after eight and Scott, Allison, and Alisha hadn't arrived yet. She had sent Allison multiple messages and still hadn't got a replies back.
She had a bad feeling that something wasn't right.
Lydia was walking in the living room where the pack was scattered out watching tv when her phone buzzed.
Pulling the phone out of her back pocket she sees it's a message from Allison. Lydia opens the text message only to see it's a picture message.
"Oh my God!" Lydia said her bad feeling intensifying as she reads the message, and looks at the picture attachment of a bound and blindfolded Allison and Alisha.
Allison: Come find us or you will be screaming our names tonight.
P.S. Come along
Nicholas
"Lydia" Jackson said getting up from his chair to walk over to his now shaking wife. "What is it?"
Lydia couldn't do anything put pass the phone to Jackson.
"Damnit" Jackson curse as his eyes flash blue.
"What is it?" Derek asked, the rest of the pack wanting to know what was going on too.
"I have to go" Lydia said turning towards the front door, grabbing her keys off of the table by the door. The voices already telling her where to go.
"He took Allison and Alisha" Jackson said passing the phone to Derek as he rush outside to catch Lydia who was already pulling out of the driveway.
