Chereads / The White Spirit (Stiles Stilinski) / Chapter 24 - Chapter 24

Chapter 24 - Chapter 24

Stiles' POV

"So, does she make you happy?". Lydia asked with a flip of her hair.

"Very". I responded. We were outside at the front yard seated on the bench that was there. I was quietly sipping on the herbal tea that Guardian Green made me after the training session we had.

"I am glad". She responded back.

"Thanks". I mumbled as I took a sip of the tea again, I had already gotten used to the strange taste it always had. The tea was calming though, better than coffee.

"I'm sorry I never gave you a chance and I ignored you all those years pretending that you were non-existant". She muttered, her eyes locked on mine. I almost choked on the tea so she rubbed my back a little to soothe out the hard feeling billing on me.

"Why are you apologizing?". I asked. This was totally not her. This was a side of her that I had never seen. "I mean you did nothing wrong."

"But I always treated you like you meant less, I was an asshole to you".

Was she apologizing because she was sincere or was she apologizing because I had decided to move on with someone else other than her?. No I didn't want to think of Lydia like that... She wasn't that way. I mean she was like 60% evil but that didn't mean she'd pull up a fake apology.

"You were always there for me Stiles. But I?.. I was either ignoring you or avoiding you... Or I was against you". She said her eyes getting that distant glare as if she was remembering something.

So did I. Who could forget why she could ignore and avoid me?.. I was that nerdy kid that no one wanted to associated with..

Why was she against me?... Because I killed Alisson and Aiden.. Alisson was her best friend whereas Aiden? Not quite sure but I was sure perhaps there was or could have been something going on between them.

I couldn't put a finger there.. So I let it go.

"Stiles, it wasn't your fault at all. Instead of being there for you we were against you thus suppressing the guilty feeling you were feeling you felt at that time. We were fake friends. We forgot about how you helped us with our own problems, how you were always there for us... Especially me.. And Scott and yet we failed you".

I took in a deep breathe as I set my cup down beside me. Lydia was silently crying now. I held her shoulder and gave her a small squeeze.

"I know it hurt but-". She cut me off.

"We forgot that you went through hell as well.. Even worse than we did and we forgot you were hurting too.. We only thought about ourselves and forgot about you, your feelings!. I'm sorry Stiles. We pushed you away instead of comforting you forgetting all that you had done for us". Lydia said as she wiped her tears using her fingers.

She was right!. They did make me feel that.. I felt used, dumped and a reject!. It was a cold and yet a painful... Very painful feeling!. None of them was there for me, even my Dad. Pops was there but it was as if he wasn't there at the same time, he had gone back to his drinking habits but thankfully Lux came and settled that problem.

"It's okay. I understand, we we're all grieving. And we coped up differently. We're human after all and human are prone to mistakes". I said as I let go of her shoulder.

"We're okay now?". Lydia asked, I know she didn't expect me to forgive her this easily but still holding grudges is the reason why we are all here now. I mean who knows what the Guardians did to Babayada... Whatever they did is what made Babayada this angry, she held that grudge for so long which grew and now she wanted to avenge against us all.

"Yeah... Yeah we're cool!". I exclaimed with a slight nod of the head.

"Thank you Stiles". Lydia responded with a sad smile. I pulled her into a hug.

"You're welcome Lydia. You're welcome!". I said as I exhaled sharply.

I was clearly over her. The girl I had been pinning for so long, I had no more feelings for her like I used to. I now saw her as a sister and nothing else. Who knew that the feelings I had felt for her for so long would just.... End??.

Lydia took in a deep breathe, "Thank you Stiles. I promise, I'll be here for you. We'll make it up to you". She promised.

"Just stay with us". I replied.

"I wish Scott wasn't pride full. He would been here with us".

"I miss him".

"We all do". Lydia responded as she pulled away.

•••••

"How does it feel like being an alpha again?". I asked Derek. He, Isaac, Kira, Malia had joined Lydia and I outside.

Derek took in a deep breathe, he seemed a bit tense but not the way he used to be before. "Not bad. I'm trying the best I can to be a better alpha".

"And you're doing fine". Isaac said.

Derek sighed.

"I'm honest Derek". Isaac added.

"He's right. You're doing fine". Kira said.

"You deserve it Derek. There is no one that I know who can be a better alpha than you Derek". I said as I placed a hand on his broad shoulder. He just looked at me and gave out a small smile.

"That's right." A very familiar voice spoke from behind us. We all turned to face the source.

It was Scott.

We all gasped. He gave out a lopsided smile as if he were expecting that reaction from us.

Scott looked exactly the same. Other than the black V-neck shirt and jeans he was in, his eyes were red... Alpha red. Lux had been right, Scott wouldn't be the same again.

Babayada had killed Scott for his werewolf powers. I thought. That's what she wanted. Power.

He took a step towards us. I felt like backing away but Lydia held my hand in hers. She was shaking and sweaty but her face contorted different feelings; bravery and strength. I gave her hand a squeeze to reassure her that we were in this together. She wasn't alone.

Scott huffed, "Derek was a better alpha that he now has my pack with him".

"You're right Stiles, he's better than me, huh?". Scott asked.

Derek took a step in front but he was still meters away from Scott. He flashed his red eyes at him.

"Oh, you got your alpha powers back?". Scott asked in a mocking tone. "Don't worry I'll be tougher on you than I had earlier planned".

"Leave us alone!". Derek growled.

Scott chuckled. "Not so soon Derek. Not so soon".

"Scott, this is not you!". I exclaimed.

"Trust me I've never felt any better". Scott answered with a grin.

"Scott..." Kira whispered but we all heard her. He tilted his head a little towards her and his grin widened.

"Wanna play a game?". Scott asked. "I swear it'll be fun".

"Scott!". I called him almost pleadingly... It was like the nogitsune all over again. It was as if I was watching myself... The way I had been months ago... Void!.

"Don't worry buddy. It'll be so much fun. You will all love it". Scott said with a smirk then he took a step back in the shadows of the forest.

We heard a shrill of a cry then a growl... More cries and more growls.... Scott's smirk widened. We all took a step back when something came out of the shadows and stood in front of him.

"I promised you'd enjoy this. Didn't I?". He asked in a teasing tone.

Right in front of us was a zombie... All bloodied, clothes in rugs, open wounds, all muddied and dirty..just like in the movies!.. But the zombie's eyes were golden yellow...

"Say hi to my new pack!". Scott announced as nine more zombies came out as well... Looking just like the first one or even worse.

Scott was now an alpha of a zombie werewolves?... His eyes gleamed red even more as our eyes met.

The zombies started strolling towards us. Derek, Kira, Isaac and Malia had already shifted into their beta forms ready to attack back. I was to protect Lydia!. I tried one of my spells... To push the zombies away but it only brushed against them... I tried again ending up with the same results.

"Oh stop being silly Stiles!. This is an unstoppable pack!". Scott exclaimed as the zombies were a few feet away from us.

"Uh guys? Is running appropriate now?". I asked as I tightened my grip on Lydia's hand. "Or we should call the others!". I added as Derek released a loud growl ready to attack two of the zombies at the same time.

"I rebuke you darkness in the Trinity's name!". Lux shouted from behind us causing Derek to stop and we all turned to look at her.

The zombie wolves stopped as if they had been frozen there.

"And who might you be?". Scott asked. His eye twitched a little. Lux didn't answer him she just produced two balls of white light from her hands and threw them at the zombie wolves. They busted into ashes and disappeared. Scott looked at her in horror.

He was breathing heavily now. "I will be everywhere you are. I'll take back what's mine bit by bit". Scott promised.

He used the exact words that Malachi had said earlier...

"I'll be waiting demon." Lux remarked before Scott faded away into the darkness.

"Go inside!". Lux ordered all of us as the guardians stood behind her. We all left leaving them there outside to do whatever they'd planned.

I really needed my pops home. I didn't want him running into the zombie wolves and Scott. I was taking him with me when we embark on our journey... No matter what, I wouldn't leave him alone!.

Third Person POV

"Lux was there!". She growled angrily to herself as she threw the glasses that were on the table beside her making them break when they hit the wall and floor a little a distance from her.

"They have their own alpha..." She breathed out. "Taking this body was useless to me!". She shouted as she kicked the lifeless body that was on the floor.

"What's the use of this body if they have an alpha?". She questioned no one in particular.

"I have to take the book of life before they register... I'll destroy it and kill that Keeper!... I'll kill everyone... I will kill them all!". She gritted as she raised her hands before screaming her lungs out and falling on top of the body.
