Welcome to Chapter 31 - sorry for the delay in updating I didn't realise how long it had been since I last updated - here is the new chapter - pre warning it is a long chapter, enjoy!!!

Derek POV

Of all the people gathered in this room the last person I expected to be so affected by Stiles's death was Peter but here he was rallying everyone. Scott's eyes hadn't left the sword that was lying covered in blood next to where Stiles's body was lay, if my theory was correct then he would have done the final blow which means his eye colour would have changed.

"Scott, I know what you are feeling right now better then most people. But right now we need you more then we have before, it's okay to feel what you are feeling but channel this anger I am feeling from you towards the correct targets." I state gently moving his head so he was staring at me, his face once I saw it made my heart want to break but I held myself together.

"I... I didn't... I killed him, oh my god. I killed my best friend!" He starts breaking down on me and I did the only thing I knew would calm him and make him focus, I smack him hard around the face.

"Listen to me right now, Sheriff needs you right now. He has just lost his son and only family he has left, Poseidon has just lost his son also, Annabeth just lost her fiancée and everyone else is feeling the same as you. But right now we have to stop the monster who caused his death so once this is over we can say a final goodbye to him." I state shocking him out of his thoughts and I watch as his eyes focus more on me.

"But my eyes, they would have changed, no longer do I deserve the title of the True Alpha. Just look at the colour of my eyes now." Scott states flashing his eyes to me but I see no difference then the normal red he has always had since becoming an Alpha.

"Eh Scott, they are still the same red as they were before this happened." I state as he moves to a reflective surface and looks at himself with his eyes glowing.

He turns around with a confused look showing on his face as he stares at Stiles's body then touches his face before walking back over to us. I start walking towards where everyone else had gathered to start making plans for how we were going to fight.

"I have called Artemis, she and the hunters will join us along with the Campers of Camp Olympus, we also have had the Amazon's agree to send help along with the Gods themselves, the Primordial Gods, the God of Nature is joining with anyone he can rally." Thalia explains to the gathered group.

"Camp Jupiter is also sending some from New Rome, we also managed to get word to Carter Kane and they are on their way with reinforcements. Also managed to get a message to Magnus Chase who is on his way from Asgard with reinforcement of their own, they have also all agreed to remain afterwards to say goodbye. I think I have remembered everyone, oh yeah sorry Chiron you said the Party Ponies are also arriving to assist." Thalia finishes off listing everyone who was arriving and I was amazed at how many were coming and also for the fact that all of them were going to remain afterwards.

"How do you know so many people, that is at least two thousand people, creatures and goodness knows what else?" I ask still surprised at how many people would agree to help a town they didn't know.

"Well some are family and everyone else is a friend or ally of Percy and Stiles's, as soon as word had spread about their death everyone stated they were on their way." Apollo advises with a sad smile and I could see even how his death was affecting him.

"This is probably the wrong time to ask but what relationship are the Gods to Stiles?" Peter asks and I seriously could have smacked him there and then.

"Well before he was Stiles he was Percy who is the son of Poseidon here and I am his Cousin Apollo. You also have his Uncle, Aunties and other Cousins coming, normally they let their children fight but this time it's different, it's Percy and Stiles that was murdered." Apollo states and I had to look away as he and Poseidon glowed, once the light died down they were dressed ready for battle.

"Alright now that is out of the way, we need to head off, everyone has arrived at the location we believe the battle is best to take place." Thalia states showing the clearing on the far side of the Reserve which is situated far enough away from anyone to get hurt but close enough if anyone needs help.

"What are we going to do with Stiles, we can't just leave him here." Sheriff asks, speaking for the first time since the death of his son. His voice cracking from dryness due to crying so much.

"We can take him to Deaton's clinic on the way, he will keep him safe. We can also set up a medical section there also with Will on stand by and I can call my Mum to meet us there." Scott advises and I nod in agreement that was the best idea as he takes out his phone and calls Deaton first before calling his Mum to met us there.

"Sheriff and Parrish, I know how much you both want to help but we can't risk having you both in the battle as we won't be able to protect you. Can you arrange for the road blocks around the area and keep anyone from coming near there." Peter states and it has to be the most sensible thing I have ever heard come out of his mouth.

As soon as Scott finishes on the phone I advise I would drive us to the Clinic, I scoop Stiles's body up and gently place him in the trunk of the SUV I was driving.

Lydia, Scott and Will join me for the journey to Deaton's clinic, even though it was only a five minute drive down the road it felt like the longest five minutes of my life. As we pull in I notice that Melissa's car was already there, I walk around to the trunk and gently lift Stiles out and carry him inside lying him onto one of the examination tables.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you." I state allowing myself to shed some tears while I was alone for a moment before Scott walks in with Lydia, Will, Deaton and Melissa.

"Derek, Scott, Lydia and Will what is going on?" Deaton asks as I watch his and Melissa's eyes drift around me to the examination table.

"The final battle is about to start in the Reserve and we are hoping as this is close enough if required to be used as a field hospital just in case anyone gets hurt. Will, here is a son of Apollo, so is well trained but I hoped you both would be able to assist." I explain hoping to avoid the topic of Stiles as soon as I could.

"Scott, what's happened sweetie?" Melissa asks with her motherly tone, noticing Scott looking pale from crying so much along with the current tears sliding down his face.

"I lost him Mum, I killed him. I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry, please forgive me." Scott states before running into his Mum's arms and sobbing into her shoulder as she hushed him rubbing his back in circles.

He was quickly followed by Lydia who also ran into the arms of Melissa, tears pouring out of her eyes uncountable.

"Derek, what does Scott mean? Who has he lost and killed?" Deaton asks but I can tell he has figured out by his tone and chemo signals who Scott meant.

"Void took control of Stiles again while he was struggling with his powers, the only way to end this once and for all was to complete a Ritual." Lydia started to explain but looked to me to finish.

"Scott was chosen along with Annabeth to complete the Ritual which has resulted in the death of Stiles." I state stepping aside and motioning to the examination table.

"No!! Please tell me that's not true." Melissa screams and grabs hold of Scott and Lydia tighter as Deaton lowers himself into a nearby stool.

An Iris message appears in the corner of the room breaking everyone out of their mourning and crying drawing our focus to it.

"Sorry to bother you but Scott, Lydia and Derek we need you here, the battle is about to start." Thalia states through the message and you can hear the crowds of people behind her preparing.

"We are on our way."
