How to build better friends

How to reveal your plans

Erica and Boyd had accompanied Stiles all the way to his house. Boyd had silently helped him put the two zombies back into their graves. Stiles began to destroy the runes around the place in a quiet rage while the two whispered to each other. Boyd was happy to sit with the pair all the way back to his home. Stiles thought this was Boyd's olive branch and that he might not be Stiles' friend, exactly, but he was not his enemy either. Especially, since Erica was now on talking terms with him, as well. The two left after that, maybe they were making sure he was going to be okay or maybe they wanted some alone time as a couple themselves.

It wasn't until Stiles got to his room that he was confronted by Isaac. He had shut his door behind him without looking back so when the wolf said "Stiles," he nearly fell to the floor in panic.

"Don't do that!" He hissed.

"Lydia told me she had a vision." He said it so monotone that it was a little awkward coming out, "it's about you. She started to tell me before she just up and walked away..."

"I am the one going to die?"

'It's not really like that. She told me it was strange, this time. It was like the dead becoming especially active or something about unhappy spirits. Like they know something is about to happen." He gave Stiles an appraising look, "she's told me what you've been doing." He admitted.

"I already got told off today by Derek, I don't need to be hounded by you, too."

"I'm not here to ridicule you." The wolf replied sharply, "I don't agree with Derek's decision and you know it was all fucked up. I really shouldn't be the one to tell you this Stiles-" he stopped himself from continuing. Stiles looked up at him, expecting him to keep talking, "Scott..." he stopped himself again.

"What about Scott?" He waited for Isaac, but all he did was open and then close his mouth, "I see, you think I should talk to Scott, too. Erica had mentioned that when I was on my way." Isaac looked sheepish at the mention of her name, "you miss Erica and Boyd don't you?"

"They didn't want to stand up to Derek," he replied firmly.

"Can you tell me what happened that night?"

"I want to Stiles. I just can't do that," it seemed as though that was the limit Isaac would go for Stiles, he gave a small smile before he left through the front door this time.

"Cool, see you later, goodbye," Stiles mimicked with his hand, "goodbye, see you at school, Isaac," he frustratedly laid back on his bed.

"No manners, these betas of Derek's," Peter spoke as he slid through the window. Stiles immediately shot up from his bed.

"Isaac!" He shouted, Peter chuckled.

"Always the clever one, but Isaac sprinted off. He's gotten a text from Lydia right about now, actually," Peter looked down at his watch as if he was the one who sent it.

"What do you want Peter?"

"Why does everyone say that to me?" He asked as if he was hurt.

"Probably cause you are," Stiles pointed at his fingers, "manipulative, controlling, psychotic-"

"Okay, okay, okay." Peter waved his hand, "subjectively, I agree, sometimes that maybe I do things that may not be perceived well, but my intentions are-"

"Evil, crazy, conniving," Stiles persisted, still pulling fingers down dramatically.

"Are you done?" They stared at each other, "well, if you are, I have a job for you to do."

"You want me to do something for you?"

"Well, not really for me, for Derek really." He nodded proudly, "I want our relationship back to where it was."

"Oh, and I have so much incentive to help Derek right now, here let me just do a blood sacrifice and pour my soul out onto an alter."

"I mean, do you want this back?" Peter cooed as he pulled out the journal, "or maybe I should tell Deaton to double check his collection of books," he then pulled out the other book Stiles stole, "and you can't resurrect your friends on the other side without these two." He smirked, "it'd be a shame if Deaton were to go after you, too. No chance of getting the research back, no friends, and no pack."

"What do you want Peter?"

"Oh, it's simple, just a little bit of magic really, nothing too massive..."

"Peter-"

"I want you to bring the Hale family back to life."
