Chapter 2: Family Matters
Scott walks through the door, surprised to see his father. Knowing they don't have a great relationship right now, he wonders what he is doing here.
"Dad, what are you doing here?", Scott asks.
"Don't you remember Scott, we had plans for dinner tonight. I got chinese food for us.", Papa Mccall says.
"Oh yeah, sorry I forgot, where's mom?", Scott asks.
"She had to work late, so it's just me and you tonight, that okay?", Papa Mccall asks.
"Uh, yeah that's fine", Scott says.
"Good, eggroll?", Papa Mccall asks.
"Hell yeah", Scott says smiling.
They both start laughing but Scott, still angry at his father decides to ask a question.
"Are you still trying to get Stiles's dad fired?", Scott asks angrily.
"Actually no, we worked it out and I decided that I don't think anyone could solve half of the bizarre things that happen in this town", Papa Mccall states.
"That's good", Scott says.
"Sometimes I feel like you kids know more than you let on and eventually, I would like to be in the know", Papa Mccall says.
Scott remains silent as they continue eating. Meanwhile, at the Stilinski household, Stiles and Malia are studying together.
"You're doing it wrong", Stiles says.
"There should not be numbers in math, that's stupid", Malia says.
"That's not stupid, that's algebra", Stiles says.
"Yeah well I don't understand it, kind of like how I don't understand much of anything...", Malia says.
"Give it time, you'll understand it, I'll help you", Stiles says smiling.
"I don't need this Stiles", Malia says.
"Then what do you need?", Stiles asks curious.
"All I need is you", Malia says smiling.
Surprised by this, Stiles smiles at Malia and she kisses him.
"We have to study", Stiles says.
Malia begins kissing him more and more as the passion heats up.
"I guess we can take a break", Stiles says smiling.
They begin making out on the bed , touching and kissing each hear the phone ring downstairs and Stiles's dad answers it. Curious, Stiles tells Malia to use her wolf hearing to listen in and see what they're saying. Listening, Malia tells Stiles that it is Eichen House calling about the bill payments for when you he stayed there. Stiles's dad then explains that he can't pay them right now and says that he also has to pay Stiles's hospital bills. Hearing this, Stiles is saddened because he knows he's the reason they are in debt and that he shouldn't of had those bills in the first place.
"You okay, Stiles?", Malia asks.
"Yeah, I'm fine", Stiles says.
We then see Lydia at her lakehouse, which she has secretly been going to for weeks now because she thinks that her grandmother may have had a connection to the supernatural before she died and there might be answers here that can help her with being a Banshee. She read online that being a Banshee may run in a family's bloodline and Peter had to know the the bite would turn her into a Banshee somehow. She's looking at a book when her mother walks in.
"Lydia, you've been spending a lot of time here, why is that? At first I thought it was because of a boy", Mrs. Martin says.
"Tell me about Grandma", Lydia says.
"Grandma? Well she loved you very much. We eventually had to put her in Eichen House because she was crazy, she said she heard voices. She would scream for no reason and she would even go into a daze and wander off so we decided that the best thing to do was put her in Eichen House, but then she died", Mrs. Martin says.
"Did she leave anything behind before she died?", Lydia asks.
"She did give specific instructions to give this letter to you on your 18th birthday but now's as good a time as any", Mrs. Martin says.
Lydia's mom hands her the letter and it explains how Lydia's grandmother was also a Banshee and that it runs in the family bloodline. It skipped Lydia's mother's generation. It explains how Lydia's grandmother Lorraine knew about her own death and that's why she wrote this letter before she died.
"Her ashes are also here, this is where she wanted them to be kept", Mrs. Martin says.
Lydia opens up the jar of her grandmother's ashes but it surprised.
"Mom, these aren't grandma's ashes", Lydia explains.
"Then what is it?", Mrs. Martin asks.
"Mountain Ash", Lydia says.
Lydia then grabs some of the mountain ash and throw it towrds the lake. It then forms a line in the doorway, showing that atleast that room of the the lakehouse is made of mountain ash.
Meanwhile at Deek's loft, we see Derek and Cora sparring. Cora runs at Derek and swings at him with her claws, which he dodges. He then swings are her 3 times at 3 different angles but is unable to hit her, she then leg sweeps Derek as he falls but is quick to get back on his feet. They both are trying to land a hit on one another but both are dodging and blocking, showing off their fighting skills and agility. Cora attempts to kick Derek in the stomach, but he manages to grab her leg and her arm, swinging her around and putting her to the ground, subduing her.
"You've gotten better, Cora", Derek says impressed.
"You're not so bad yourself", Cora says.
"Our family has trained us well", Derek says.
"Yeah but I'm still not as good as you", Cora says.
"Give it time, you're improving and becoming very good", Derek says.
"I want to be as great as Laura and Mom", Cora explains.
"You will be, but it takes time", Derek states smiling.
Now done sparring, Cora decides to go to bed since she has school tomorrow and Derek sits on the couch thinking. He's thinking about how Cora is on her way to becoming great like Laura and Talia, unlike him, since he's not an Alpha anymore. He feels himself getting weaker and he doesn't know why. He doesn't know if he will lose his powers.
At the Argent apartment, Allison and Chris are eating and talking.
"Allison, I have something to show you now that I know you're ready", Chris says.
"Okay dad, what is it?", Allison asks.
"It's a place of mine, it's like a secret hideout", Chris says.
"Where is it?", Allison asks.
"It's an abandoned warehouse in town, I keep some stuff there that I can't keep anywhere else, it'd be dangerous if it got into the wrong hands", Chris explains.
"Like what?", Allison asks.
"You'll have to find out for yourself, we will go tomorrow after school", Chris states.
"Okay, sounds good", Allison says.
Kira is seen training with her katana in her room. Her mom watches silently from the doorway, impressed by her skills.
"Kira, we need to talk", Noshiko says.
"Okay, about what mom?", Kira says.
"Well, we're moving in a month", Noshiko states.
"No! Mom I have friends and I like it here. After all we've went through here, don't you think we should stay help and help protect?". Kira asks.
"It's for our own good", Noshiko says.
"I'm not leaving", Kira yells.
"You have no choice", Noshiko states.
Noshiko then exits the room as Kira is angry and sad, she goes outside and destroys the For Sale sign, much to her parents shock and amusement.
