Goddess of the Moon (TEEN WOLF)

CHAPTER 18

Selena sat in the backseat and watched how Stiles' fingers nervously tapped on the steering wheel. She wasn't quite sure if he was nervous about Derek sitting next to him, or about what they had just found out. But she didn't really care, she just wanted to place her hand on his and comfort him, just like he had comforted her in the elevator. Selena liked Stiles a lot, but she was scared that with all the supernatural drama, it was not the right time to tell him. Or even the right time to fall in love.

They drove to Derek's loft where Derek got out of the jeep and came back with a round box in his hands a few minutes later. He didn't say anything and Selena hated that. She was part of all this too and he didn't tell them one word of his plan. When they reached Scott's house, his mother opened the door for them. Derek and Stiles greeted her with a small hello and instantly went inside the living room, while Selena stopped in the hallway and tried to sort her feelings. She had never been at Scott's house before and she thought it was weird that they met here to talk about supernatural problems. Not because it was Scott's house, but because his mother was there. She was human and Selena thought that they should keep things like that far away from her. To keep her safe. But then she remembered, that Stiles was also human and he chose to be part of the supernatural world.

"Are you okay with being part of this world?", Selena suddenly said and was just as surprised as Melissa. Melissa raised her eyebrows and smiled softly.

"I don't really have a choice, do I? My son is a werewolf and I'm his mother.", Melissa answered and saw how Selena's expression changed. She looked kind of hurt so Melissa took Selena's hands in hers.

"But you see, Scott is a good one. I am scared of all those supernatural powers but Scott, Lydia and Kira, they all use their powers to help others and to make this world a little bit better. So does Derek and I'm sure you will too. This pack is a good pack and I couldn't be any prouder."

"Do you think I can be a part of this pack someday?", Selena asked shyly and Melissa laughed.

"Sweetie, you already are a part of this pack and they will never abandon you."

"Thank you, Misses McCall.", Selena said sweetly and her heart felt warm. She missed talking to her mother like that, but talking to Melissa felt nearly the same. Melissa nodded and let go off Selena's hands, leading her to the living room. Scott was pacing through the room nervously, Derek and Isaac sat on the couch and watched him. Stiles leaned against the wall next to the door, his arms crossed over his chest. Selena felt her heart jump a little and ignored her inner voice telling her to run up to him and hug him. She walked up to him anyway and stood next to him, watching the other three boys.

"I've done this only once. And I did it with my own claws, not with the claws of your dead mother.", Scott grumbled and looked at Derek.

"Scott, you already did it once and it worked. Last time, you even managed to get out a dark kitsune out of Stiles ok, this time you just need to give me back my memories. And I definitely won't ask Peter, don't even think about that option.", Derek said calmly and looked at Scott the whole time, his eyes following him as he still couldn't manage to stay in one place.

"Okay, I will do it.", Scott finally said and sat beside Derek. Derek grabbed the box he had gotten from his loft and opened it. He put it back on the table and turned it around, something small falling onto the table. It looked like claws. Derek put them back into the box one by one and then held Scott's wrist, holding his hand over the box.

"Wait, wait! What are you doing?" Selena interrupted them and walked up to them. Scott looked uncomfortable and she didn't want anyone to get hurt.

"Those are the claws of my mother. Alpha werewolves have the ability to affect our minds and memories with them. They can see our memories and also take it from us, make us forget things. Scott used the same technique to save Stiles from the Nogitsune. And with the claws of my mother, he can probably give me back the memories that she took from me. Depending on how long we can hold on, we maybe can talk to her.", Derek explained slowly and Selena was glad that he finally talked to her about his plan.

"What do you mean with holding on?", She asked and noticed how everyone exchanged looks.

"It can be dangerous and there's a chance of not coming back. But I trust Scott and if he's able to get us inside my mind, he will also be able to bring us back." Selena nodded and understood how important it was that Scott did what Derek asked him to. Derek's mother was probably the only one who could tell them the truth.

"Wait, us?", Selena asked and Derek nodded. He didn't say anything and focussed on Scott again. It seemed obvious for Derek that Selena would be haunting his mind together with Scott and he didn't seem too scared about it. On the contrary, Selena did feel scared. Probably because she never thought that something like this was possible and also because she was scared of being stuck in Derek's mind forever. What if Scott wouldn't be able to bring her back? But Selena didn't have a choice if she wanted to get to know the truth and she trusted Scott. And Derek.

Selena just nodded and took a step backwards. Derek grabbed Scott's wrist again and positioned his hand just above the claws. Without any hesitation, he pushed Scott's hand inside the box and Scott cried out in pain, his eyes turning red. It took him a few seconds to come back to his senses and stood up, motioning Selena to sit next to Derek. She did what Scott asked her to do and watched Scott walking up behind them. Selena watched Isaac who walked up to Stiles, standing next to him. He looked kind of worried, just like Stiles did. Stiles forced himself to smile when Selena's gaze met his, trying to encourage her, even though he was more scared than optimistic. But Selena smiled back at him, knowing that if Scott wouldn't be able to bring her back, Stiles definitely would be able to. Knowing that, she closed her eyes and felt how Scott positioned his claws on her neck, suddenly feeling a sharp pain.
