" Stiles…" I called out as I was finally finished with my makeup. I saw that he was curled up in his bed. I smiled. I wore a grey halter top with black jeans and my black combat boots.
" Stiles. Sti." I asked as I was shaking him awake.
" Hmmm?" He tiredly said as I chuckled.
" You've got an early morning practice. Remember, big game tomorrow?" I say as I get in close. My hair was curled at the ends for once.
" Hi…" He mumbled in his sleep.
" I need you to practice because if I'm watching you, it better be worth it my dear." I whispered in his ear.
" Not gonna suck…" He grumbled tiredly.
" Stiles, I got to get you up for practice, so I can take Malia to school in 30 minutes early so she can study more for that Math test." I told him, but he refused to get up. I smirked and turned him over. He woke up with a slight start as I kissed him.
" What are you doing? I haven't even brushed my teeth yet." He said slightly groggy.
" When has that stopped me?" I asked him with a grin.
" Noted." He replied as I chuckled. I kissed him deeply as I felt something grow in attention. I pulled away at that moment. He shot up trying to reach me.
" Can you help this?" He asked as I chuckled.
" Sorry, I have to take my cousin to get breakfast and coffee before school! Love you! Bye!" I called out as I waved my keys about. I got in my car and drove over to Malia's. I felt a peace for once, no Deadpool no drama, everything is ok.
" Get it bitch!" I called out in a cheery tone. I watched as she came out with a bag in tow.
" We need breakfast before I take you to study." I told her as she smiled.
" I like the sound of that." She said putting on her seat belt. We stopped at Benny's and I got my usual.
" I'll take the same thing I guess." She said as I chuckled. We sat down and began to eat.
" How are you and Stiles doing?" She asked as I smiled.
" When we have a moment of peace, it feels great." I said after drinking some coffee.
" Happy for you cousin." She said as I chuckled.
" I'm still not sure about my power situation. Hopefully soon it'll resolve." I said as she watched with curiosity.
" What happened?" She asked me. I sat back before getting up and taking her back to my car. I explained it as I drove her to school.
" That's a lot." She said as I finally parked.
" It always feels like it is. But it's all a part of being a Hale. The more pain we endure, the stronger we become." I told her before she nodded and got out of my car without another word. I took a drive out to my old property and saw the fenced-off area.
" So many memories and so little time to reminisce." I said as I leaned on a tree. I smiled as I took a breath for myself. No thought of anything that had happened in the last two years. I chuckled as I left it behind before piling into my car and driving back to Stiles' place later that afternoon.
" You ok?" Stiles asked as he sat on his bed.
" Hopefully. It's just been so crazy." I told him as he kissed my forehead. Noah knocked on the door.
" Drop what you're doing- I'm taking you both out to dinner." He said as Stiles had a look on his face.
" Dad, I don't think a man of your debts should be treating anyone to anything." Stiles said as Noah smiled. He showed me an envelope.
" Well, there's one debt we no longer have to worry about." He said as I quirked an eyebrow.
" What is that?" Stiles asked him.
" A letter of apology from Eichen House. They've decided to forgive our debt due to...Well, you, Raven, and Lydia almost got murdered." He said as I perked up, holy hell!
" They can do that? Just wave a debt due to almost murder?" I asked as I was dumbfounded.
" They can do it, and they did it." Noah said as Stiles had this bright smile on his face.
" I've never been so happy to have almost been murdered!" Stiles said as he clapped his hands.
" Don't be, it has almost happened to me so many times." I said chuckling hard.
" Well, we're not out of it yet, but... We're going to be okay. And, at least for the moment, I can afford to take my son and his girlfriend out to dinner." Noah said as I got up.
" Raven, what's your favorite food?" He asked me. I chuckled and gave an answer that came to my mind.
" I love Chinese food." I said with the biggest grin. Noah smiled and took Stiles and me out for the night. It was filled with laughter, answers to the supernatural, and simple things. Stiles and I thanked his dad for the meal before we left. We got a decent amount of sleep before waking up and going to school. The day went easier for me as I was able to breathe and take a minute to rest. When the game came around, it was nothing but brutal as Coach flipped out.
" That was brutally fucked up." I told Stiles as he came to my Camaro.
" Yeah, but where was Scott?" Stiles asked as my phone grew loud. I pulled out my phone and saw it was Derek.
" Yes, dear brother?" I asked as Stiles leaned against the Camaro.
" Get here now with the sheriff, something happened." Derek's voice was full of worry. He then hung up on me.
" Derek needs us at the Loft, with your dad." I said in a worried tone. We drove our cars to the loft. I saw the horror of broken glass and the spots of blood.
" How the fuck?" I asked as I felt enraged by this. My home! Again!
" What the hell happened?" Stiles asked as I looked about my home. I felt unbridled rage fueling me. I punched the wall and yelled.
" It was supposed to be a date." Derek said before coming to check my hand.
" I'm fine." I said as Noah came forward.
" And they were both here?" He asked us.
" And they're both gone." Braedan said as Stiles' phone went off.
" Scott and Kira. We just don't know where." Stiles said as I came over and held my hurt hand.
" Mexico...And, if you want to save his life, that's where you're going, too." Deaton said over the phone.
" Fucking christ!" Stiles exclaimed as he took my hand
" Dad, we have to do something." Stiles said as he nodded.
" Come with me." Noah told the two of us before we left the loft in a blur.
