Stiles POV: Stiles broke the surface of the water along with Scott and Allison only he wasn't at the animal clinic anymore. He was in a white room with no windows or doors. Slowly they got out of the tubs of water to look around. They saw a tree stump at one end of the room.
Slowly all three walked toward it. Scott looked at the stump then his tattoo then the stump again. When Stiles touched the stump he was back in the woods the night Scott got bit. He was watching himself in the past and when he took a step back he bumped into the tree stump.
Suddenly Stiles jolted up out of the water only now he was back in the animal clinic.
"What?" Deaton asked.
"I saw it. I know where it is" Scott said as they all got out of the tubs.
"We passed it. There's… there's a stump this huge tree. Well it's not huge anymore it was cut down. But it's still big though very big" Stiles said.
"It was the night we were looking for the body" Scott said.
"Yeah the same night you were bit by Peter" Stiles agreed.
"I was there too in the car with my mother. We almost hit someone" Allison explained.
"It was me. You almost hit me" Scott replied.
"We can find it" Scott told Deaton and the others.
"What?" Allison asked when no one said anything.
"You guys were out a long time" Isaac said.
"How long is a long time?" Stiles asked looking at Selene.
"16 hours" Deaton told them.
"We've been in the water for 16 hours?" Scott asked horrified.
"And the full moon rises in less than four" Deaton said.
Scott said he had to tell Deucalion what he knew.
"No dude you are not going back with them" Stiles told him.
"I made a deal with Deucalion" Scott replied.
"Does anyone else think that sounds a lot like a deal with the devil?" Stiles asked.
"Why does it matter anyway?" Isaac asked.
"Because I still don't think we can beat Jennifer without their help" Scott told him.
"He trusts you more than anyone. Tell him he's wrong" Allison ordered Deaton.
"I'm not so sure he is. Circumstances like this sometimes requires that you align yourself with people you'd normally consider enemies" Deaton said.
"So we're gonna trust him the guy that calls himself death, destroyer of worlds? We're gonna trust that guy?" Isaac questioned.
"I wouldn't trust him no. But you could use him to your advantage. Deucalion may be the enemy but he could also be the bait" Deaton informed them.
Then all of the wolves turned to look at the door. Then the others heard someone walk in. Deaton went to see and the others were close behind.
"I'm looking for Selene" Ethan said.
"What do you want?" Selene asked cautiously as she stepping around the corner.
"I need your help" Ethan told her.
Not liking that Stiles poked his head around the corner to glare at Ethan.
"With what?" Stiles asked.
"Stopping my brother and Kali…from killing Derek" Ethan replied.
"I know what you want me to do but I won't order them…but I still know how to help. Take Lydia with you… you'd be surprised at what she can do" Selene said when Ethan looked doubtful.
So Lydia went with Ethan. After forming a quick plan Isaac, Allison and Scott went to Allison's apartment and Stiles and Selene went to Stiles' house.
"Just grab anything. Stiles I'm not smelling your dad's boxers. Socks? Okay I'll smell the socks" Scott replied to Stiles over the phone before hanging up.
Selene giggled.
"What?" Stiles asked.
"Sorry but asking anyone to smell someone's boxers especially another guy is soo wrong" Selene said.
"Yeah… I wasn't really thinking" Stiles said.
Selene wrapped her arms around Stiles neck.
"We'll find them I know it. You do know that I already have your dad's scent right? Like the second I ever stepped into your house I had it. So now Scott doesn't have to smell socks."
"God I am so out of it I'm not thinking" Stiles said getting upset.
"I know which is why I am" Selene said with a small smile.
All of a sudden her eyes changed red and she stepped back and turned away.
"What is it? What's wrong?" Stiles asked.
"Nothing."
Then Stiles remembered what Derek said at the hospital.
"Why did Derek say I was 'Destroying the person I claim to love'?"
"Stiles not now please" Selene begged as he fangs came out.
"No now or… we're not going anywhere."
After a few seconds she finally answered.
"Fine… when I… marked you it started a bond but for it to be complete you have to accept it and me and also mark me. So far you haven't accepted it and… it's starting to take a toll… it's turning me feral. Out of control nothing left except the wolf worse than Peter ever was" Selene explained.
Stiles just looked at her stunned for a minute.
"Why didn't you tell me?" he finally asked.
"With everything going on I didn't want you to have to worry about me too. Plus I didn't want to pressure you to accept you should only if you want to."
"Selene I love you ALL of you glowing eyes wolf and all" then simply because he could and to prove to her he did Stiles grabbed her and kissed her.
He didn't mind that her claws and fangs were out he loved her for who she was all of who she was.
"I accept you as… my mate? Is that right?" Stiles asked.
And just like that a change went over Selene taking the rough scary predator look and dimming it to the in-control predator she was. Her eyes changed back and her fangs and claws receded. She gave him a 100 mega-watt smile and kissed him back.
Then they left after Stiles grabbed his new bat. As they drove Stiles looked up at the sky. Storm clouds were rapidly forming most likely Jennifer's doing. And they were driving right into it. Soon it was so bad neither could see much of anything.
"Come on. Whoa!" Stiles said as a branch flew by the Jeep he turned his head to look at it.
"Stiles watch out!" Selene screamed.
"Whoa!" Stiles turned back just in time to see the tree he hit.
Selene POV: Just because she was an immortal werewolf didn't mean she couldn't get hurt or knocked unconscious. It did however mean she healed in a few seconds and woke up. The same could not be said about Stiles.
"Stiles?" Selene said looking over at him.
Seeing him slumped against the door made her frantic.
"Stiles! No no no please Stiles."
Gently she checked his wounds and pulled him against her. Outside the storm raged but the moon shown on the Jeep. His pulse was weak she didn't know the extent of the damage inside him.
"Stiles please…" Selene looked up when the light of the moon pierced through the storm clouds and landed on them through the windshield.
Selene let her eyes glow and said one word before she howled.
She said "Please."
Slowly the worst of Stiles' wounds closed before her eyes and when the moons beam was covered again by clouds Stiles opened his eyes. Selene hugged and kissed him. It wasn't until she tasted salt that she realized she was crying.
"Your Mother said she approves" Stiles said softly.
Finally managing to get back to normal Stiles got his Jeep back on the road and Selene guided him to his dad the moon showing just enough Selene could see. They arrived in the nick of time just before the ceiling fell on everyone.
Stiles and Selene jumped into the hole and Stiles stuck his new aluminum bat under the ceiling to stop it.
"I always said aluminum was better than wood" Stiles' dad said before Stiles threw himself into his dad hugging him.
Selene laid her hand on Isaac's shoulder restoring some of his strength and energy he spent holding the ceiling up.
"You did good Isaac real good" Selene said smiling.
"I had a good teacher a great Alpha and an even better friend show me how" Isaac said smiling back.
Slowly the storm stopped.
Stiles POV: Stiles answered his phone.
"Scott?"
"Hey are you okay?" Scott asked.
"Yeah were okay. We're all okay. How bout you you okay?"
"Sort of."
"You think you can come get us?"
"Yeah of course."
"Great okay. Um uh bring a ladder" Stiles said everyone softly laughed.
Then Scott hung up. A few days later it seemed everything was back to normal. They were all back in school no one was dying no storms just normal…ish.
Stiles felt it that darkness inside himself that Deaton mentioned. But he had his friends and his girl so it didn't seem so dark.
At least not yet…
