Destroying The Plot 5

Chapter Sixteen

I gently put my fingers against each side of Void's temple and I send him into the impenetrable mental fortress I've created. I ignore the pounding of the puppies outside and smile in satisfaction as Void's eyes roll back into his head, a familiar warm chocolate brown replace the once empty look.

"Welcome back Stiles" I link hands with Newt, squeezing gently. I had a feeling Stiles would be more like Thomas. 

"How...how did you do that? I can't sense him. Newtie? What's going on?" Panic spreads across Stiles's face and I gently shush him, removing the paralyzing spell.

"It's all right Stiles, our mate has created a mental activity that will occupy Void until we bring him out again." Klaus explains to him with a soft tone of voice, several of my mates looking at Stiles with a sorrowful look in their eyes. 

"You're playing a game with Void right? On the nemeton." 

After a nod I continue.

"Smash the board, throw it, whatever you need to do. You two will separate and we'll be able to take care of him." I gently run my fingers through Stile's hair and he visibly relaxes. "You won't be dying anytime soon Stiles."

"I like your girlfriend Newtie." Stiles murmurs, a small blush working it's way onto my face. I tap the side of the small muffin's head gently and he gives me a nod of affirmation. "I'm ready."

I bring my fingers to both sides of Stile's temples, bringing Void back to the surface. I supress the shiver that arises at Void's intense gaze into my eyes and I place the paralyzing spell back on him.

"Now aren't you just fascinating sweetheart?" His voice is a smooth purr and Klaus steps forward with a threatening growl, Loki pointing his dagger with a threatening look in his eyes.

"It's time for playtime to end Void." Nat wraps her arm around my waist and I lean back onto her chest. 

"But we were having so much fun" Void's voice taunts us but I can see something shift in his cold eyes.

"He's fighting back, we can all see it." Draco smirks at the nogitsune, a small snarl erupting from Void's throat as he tries to lunge but is held back by my spell.

Suddenly his eyes go unfocused and he starts gagging, we begin pulling bandages out of his throat. I knew you could do it Stiles.

The bandages slowly formed a human, Newt and Klaus quickly working to unwrap them. Myself and the rest of my mates staring down Void.

"Either I kill you or we make a deal. Which one will it be?" I raise an eyebrow at him and twirl one of Loki's dagger's in my hands.

"And what makes you think you could even come close to killing me? I'm a thousand years old, you can't kill me!" 

One by one we all start laughing and the look on Void's face...it's priceless.

"There are two people in here that are so much older than you sweetheart, don't even try to compare." I smirk and he blanches slightly, surprise in his eyes. I let Nat and Draco take Stiles upstairs to rest before focusing back on Void. "I must admit, your plan was good. Almost fool proof, except you didn't account for three things. Well really one of the things you forgot about and I thought that someone of your age would be better at managing to mess with a bunch of puppies and teenagers." 

"Number one." Newt begins with a slightly manic grin. "You underestimated the packs love for Stile's and what they would do for him."

"Number two. The Shugendō scroll. You can't be a fox and a wolf" Klaus taunts, as he circles Void on the sofa.

"Number three." I crouch down to his level and lean forward to his ear. I smirk when I feel him shiver. "Did you really think no one was watching?" 

"What are you?" His voice is uneven, a shock of thrill running through me.

"Me? I'm what some places call a higher power but another way you can imagine me is...I'm the monster in the shadows that makes other monsters run for their lives darling." I let my eyes blink black for a moment before I sit down on the opposite chair, Enzo coming to stand behind me. 

"Deal or no deal Void. Make the choice." Newt snaps, finally having enough.

"Deal, I want to make a deal." Determination rang through Void's voice and I nod my head in approval. 

"There's a war, I need you help with it. Help us and we'll think about not killing you." 

After a moment he nods his head and I hold my hand out, his cold one gripping my softly. Red vine like light wraps around our hands, and after a moment they disappear. 

"What was that?"

"An unbreakable deal"

Sorry it's a bit shorter than normal, hope you enjoyed it!
