The Orphans (Discontinued)

Chap. 9

Chapter 9: Shadows Within Ghost

Peter

" What exactly is a 'Dana wolf' ? " I ask looking to Deaton for an answer.

" It's a very rare formative species that have gone extinct centuries ago. " He starts.

" I, myself thought there were none left of their kind. " he continues.

" Then how is he...how does he have it in his DNA? " I stuttered out.

" He more than likely received the DNA when he was conceived. " he explained.

" Then that should make him a whole lot older than the rest of us. Right? " I questioned.

" It depends when his parents were still alive and his mother gave birth to him... " he answered with his left eyebrow raised.

" What year were you born Isaiah? " I asked curiously.

" In 1998, or at least that's what the headmaster at the orphanage said. " he replied.

" What do you mean exactly? " I asked, skeptical of his answer.

" The headmaster has everyone's records, documents, and files of all the orphans admitted there. Once we arrive, they give us a date representing our birthdays since no one really knows. Afterwards, they give us a reasonable year that suits our appearance and when we may have been born. " he finished while intaking a deep breath.

I nod in confirmation and start to think. Then I ask Deaton...

" How many centuries does his ancestry date back to? "

" The10th century. Sometime in the 950s B.C. to be exact." he informed.

" Can you tell us anything about them? " I questioned wanting to know more.

" I don't know much, just myths. " he answers with a look of uncertainty.

" What I can say is that they are very aggressive, possessive of their mates, and loyal... " he continues.

" ...They're also the only known species that is able to impregnate male wolves and humans. " he finishes. I look at him and the others, and they look confused just like me.

" What if he [Isaiah] has a male mate? " I ask searching for an answer.

" It doesn't matter according to their culture and background. " he explained before leaving.

I turn my head a little to the right and see Isaiah with his head down.

Isaiah

After hearing what the doctor said to Peter, I think his name is, I put my head down. I felt their eyes on me and I didn't want to look up. Not even for a second.

" Ok then. " the redhead said with a clap of her hands. I guess to break the awkwardness of the situation.

" Anyone in the mood for spaghetti and meatballs? Stiles here is an amazing cook. " she questions while complementing Stiles.

I nod as do the others and Stiles walks into the kitchen. I follow in suite.

" Uhh..Stiles. May I help? " I ask. I never learned how to cook and am interested in learning. I guess I startled him because he jumped before turning around to face me.

" You werewolves seriously need to stop that... " he says. Before I'm able to apologize he continues saying...' and yes you may '.

I walk from the doorway of the kitchen over to the counter where he stood. He had a list of ingredients and steps of what to do.

" Have you always loved to cook? " I asked curiously.

He nods before telling me...' Yeah. Actually I've always loved cooking especially with my mom. She taught me how to cook growing up, but now that she's gone it's like missing what you need most to make what you intend to. ' with a sad look on his face.

I saw the pain in his eyes and felt really bad. Cooking means alot to him because it's like spending time with her again. I would've loved to be able to have some kind of memory of the time I spent with my family before they deceased.

" Ok, first we're going to start by cooking the noodles in a pot of boiling water. " he informs me as he starts getting the spices needed out of the cabinet.

~~Time lapse~~

We finished making plates and started pouring drinks.

" You did very good Isaiah. " he said. I say thank you in response and smile. As we finish with the drinks, handing them out to everyone. Stiles picks up two plates and walks out the kitchen handing them to Scott and Isaac.

I grab two plates myself and walk out the kitchen handing them to Allison and Lydia. As I'm walking back into the kitchen, Stiles walks out with two more plates and hands them to Sean and Liam. I grab two more plates also and Stiles grabs the last two. I hand the plates to Derek and Peter as I sit down on the couch. Stiles then sits next to me and places a plate down in front of himself and I.

I take a bite and it's absolutely delicious. Lydia was right. He really is a good cook. I finished in a matter of seconds and downed my drink. Everyone did the same and we all complemented Stiles on his cooking.

" Well I did have some help. " he told us while clamping a hand on my right shoulder. I smiled and everyone started complementing me as well.

We all sat and talked for a while about...well nothing really. Allison and Lydia left bidding us a goodbye and that they'll catch us at school tomorrow. Sean, Stiles, and Liam left also but not before giving me a hug. Then, Isaac, Scott, and I left waving and saying goodnight to Derek and Peter.

We walked out of the loft and made our way to the car. I got in as did Isaac and Scott. Scott put the key in the ignition and turned the car on. I buckled up and looked out the window throughout the ride home.

" ...aiah..Isaiah. Wake up we're home. " I heard Isaac say. I fluttered my eyes open and for out of the car. As soon as I got in the house with them in tow, I went straight to the guest room and fell on my bed exhausted.
