Divine Serendipity • Stiles Stilinski

"I'm literally going to kill you both." Arabella deadpanned, staring at the police van with the back door pried open.

Stiles wrapped his hand around the Mikaelson, his light, yet firm grip calming his own nerves as both Allison and Scott processed the sight in front of them.

"I have to tell my father." The Argent finally confessed, looking between Scott and Ari when the former didn't answer. "Scott? He's going to kill someone."

"Okay. Tell him. Tell him everything." He replied, avoiding her eyes as he focused on his tribrid friend, who raised her hands in mock defence.

"Woah okay. Argent does not need to know about me whilst creepy grandpa hunter is still lurking about." She retaliated, looking at Allison for a moment. "no offence."

"I gotta tell mine too." Stiles croaked out looking at his best friend as the girl beside him began to draw comforting circles on the back of his hand. His arm latched around her waist as she leaned into his side.

"It's all my fault."

"No it's not." Allison quickly defended. "But we have to tell them, we're just a bunch of teenagers. We can't handle this."

"You're right."

"How you gonna make your dad believe all this?" Allison queried, referring to Stiles this time as he shook his head.

"I don't know."

Arabella huffed, turning her head up to face Stiles' eyes. They flashed an iridescent gold for a few moments as she spoke, "he'll believe us. We just have to show him."

"Are you sure he won't mind?"

"Ally, it's fine. He knows ancient languages like the back of his hand, it's quite creepy actually." Bella replied over the phone, knowing with a little convincing, her Uncle Kol would happily translate parts of the bestiary.

"What all five pages? Like soon?"

"Of course. We can get it done in no time, and besides, he's not going to rat out his favourite niece." She smiled, "just send me the pages, I'll have them in English by the end of the night."

"God you're a life saver!"

"Later Ally." Bella giggled, ending the phone as she pulled up the pages.

After an hour of translating what felt like pages of pure gibberish, Ari finally completed it. Well, Kol completed it, with a few inputs from his niece here and there, he was the expert between them after all.

"Are you sure it doesn't mean friend? Remember when Ms. Morrell translated it in school, the kanima seeks a friend."

"I know Ally, but we were wrong. It means master, the kanima seeks a master."

"Someone's not protecting him. Someone's controlling him."

"Brilliant." The tribrid mused sarcastically, flopping down on the couch as she huffed in defeat. She couldn't be bothered with more people to deal with right now.

"I gotta tell Scott and Stiles."
