Beacon Hills 1983

Chapter 66: Taylan And The Switch Gang

(Teen wolf + The Originals)
11 November 1983, Tuesday

A while before Lucy made up with an old friend, and the pack reunited at Sweetwater River...

"Where did you kids get so much money?" Taylan asked, his eyes growing wide at the large sum of money Harry pulled out of her backpack.
She shrugged, "Robbed some stores, mugged some tourists. You know, the easy way."

"Oh, I'm so excited! This is going to be my first time on a plane!" Vinnie bounced up and down like a kid in a candy store.
Harry made a sound of annoyance, "Calm down, it's not a big deal."
But Vinnie wasn't in the mood to let anyone dampen his spirits,
"Well its a big deal to me."
Ebby raised her eyebrows and looked away.

They decided catching a flight to Riverdale was definitely faster than any road transportation.
But the problem was, Aimee didn't bring any money, and Taylan used up all of his. It was only by luck that they happened to now be traveling with a bunch of rich criminal children.

It was 08:15AM when they made it to the airport via a slow bus, and the next flight was at 08:30AM.
The lady behind the counter made a big fuss about how although the flight wasn't full, they couldn't give out tickets to people fifteen minutes before departure.
For a "little" tip from Harry, she finally gave in with a smile.
By the time they got through the boarding gate, and onto the aeroplane, it was 08:56AM. There were six of them, but sadly, only four available seats. Vinnie had to share with Gabie- not a very good experience for his first time- and Harry sat on Taylan's lap. It made him uncomfortable how comfortable she felt with him, but there was no time to argue.
People gave the six of them odd stares. Taylan just smiled and waved, waiting for it to be over.
The flight was delayed, (of course), and landed at 10:02AM.

It seemed like good fate just wasn't on their side. Riverdale didn't have an airport, so they landed in New York, ended up taking another relatively slow bus, and only made it there by 10:38AM.
The group was already so tired, they'd almost forgotten their mission.

"Can't we just get a hotel first? I need like, a ten hour nap." Vinnie whined.
"And a five course meal." Gabie added.
If there was anything Taylan wanted more, it was that. He was generally always hungry, and the fact he hadn't eaten in two days, was worse.
Unfortunately, he had to rely on aeroplane food- sandwiches and coffee- for the rest of the day until they found Greg.

The most odd thing Taylan felt as they entered Riverdale, was the presence of his pack. Not just Nes, as he might've expected, but all of them.

They're here?

He thought to himself.

Why and how are they here?

With a sudden short rush of panic, Taylan closed his eyes and reached out to the pack with his mind. Connecting with their essense and feeling their power. It took about a minute, and then, in a second-
Taylan knew exactly where they were.
"Sweetwater River."
He blurted, and they all turned to look at him.

"Tha's where Greg is?" Aimee asked.
He shook his head, "That's where my family is."

Taylan clearly wasn't good at prioritizing, but he realised they didn't have a clue where Greg might be at all, and now that he knew his family was here, maybe he could tell them everything, and they could find him as a pack.

After getting a lengthy speech about running away from his mom, of course.

And then another speech from Talia for exposing the secret to a human.

And then dirty looks from Peter when he sees him associating with witches. Peter didn't like witches.

"New plan. We get to the pack and find Greg together." He said, and his five new companions agreed.

They took the bus all the way to the stop just before Sweetwater River.
