THE DARK WITCH|StilesStilnski

SiXTEEN

SIXTEEN
VATES

Moon laid on her bed staring at her ceiling, she had got home after school,since there really wasn't anything much happening. Scott told her he wanted to talk to Miss Morrell,to get some answers. Which Moon personally thought it was bogus,since the woman was litterly working for Deucalion. But either way Scott usually never listens to her,so dose Stiles, they just never listen to her,and some how it all works out in the end. So she couldn't really complain.
One of Moon's only favourite thing about her new apartment, was the view she had, was just so out off reality,litterly. Since she lived so high up, the building lights and the faint car sounds was all you could see down, then the beutiful stars above at night. Part of her actually thanked her dad for picking this one. It would've been one of hotels they ownd in Beacon hills,but when her grandmother moved to Italy. Fully. As in never return.
Moon thought multiple times if she should call,but that Night when her and her Dad, were arguing again about how he wanted her to go under the council.
It's not that she didn't want to 'learn' If you would call it about the council. But he became so obsessive with 'stay home,it's getting late,the councilthinksits best', 'you should start drinking this it's from the council', 'the council wants you at this time doing this. And this,and this'
Moon couldn't take it anymore,she felt like they were keeping something away from her.

That they really didn't want her to find out. And the other people her age said the council has never been this alert about anyone. Her grandmother obviously noticed how Moon became so frustrated and annoyed,going at if at her son once more, she finally decided it was enough, Moon deserved to come and go as she pleased. The council still didn't allow. The council finally agreed that she was useless anyways.so she left. Best decision until she reminded herself she had a boyfriend that's been waiting for and now it's hard gor them to get back into there normal routine,and now this. The weird visions that feel so real.
Moon,knew that they weren't real because only she could see it,and they never really inflicted pain on her,well before they could she would wake up.
The girl sighed,befor looking down. She wasn't doing anything for the next afternoon. Everything seemed pretty calm until someone dose something stupid and everyone's Asses are on fire.
She needed answers... she needed something. Moon walked over to the kitchen were she left her laptop on the counter. Before walking out the girl glanced at the music box,that was delivered to her at the opera house. She never made much attention to it, but something made her pick it up from vanity this time, maybe it was clue to someone to something.
She sits down on her coach opening her laptop. Looking for the label on the box, but All it had was some Wierd writings on it,the same thing it had around it. The girl still looks back to the Moon crescent above it,then at the necklace around her neck. They oddly looked familiar. The same design,scripture,and color. She did rember Stiles said he got it for after an Antique, that didn't keep records on anything they received. So you could say the necklace was definitely one of a kind . She took out her pencil writing the scripters on the box on to the paper,befor opening Google looking up acinent writings back in Europe, she finds a site clicking it,befor seeing multiple writings,over hundreds. How wad she supposed to find the exact one, with almost everything looking the same. She groand,brushing her hands through her hair in frustration,laying back down on her couch. This was going to take her hours just translate one word . After a whole minute of contemplating she decided on just figuring out atleast one word. She viewed the chart tracing her finger on the word before noting down the words in English.
"Vates..?"
What the hell is a Vates? Moon thought. Before clicking a new page typing on the search bar.
Immediately the links with the meaning being witch. The girl frowns clicking one of the site.
It said belief in witchcraft was once widespread in all regions of Italy. Witch beliefs, folk healing and the legend complexes related to them have generally been studied as aspects of 'folk', 'unofficial' or 'popular' belief or religion. The folkloric witch appears predominantly in legends. Most of them were known to follow under the great Vates. A Salem witch from Masachtews.
Moon definitely knew that name from some where. She's heard it before, she knows she's heard it.
The girl stood up from her couch walking back a bit looking at the screen. Sometimes it was best to see from longer perspective. She stayed there trying to figure out where she knew that name from,but that clearly didn't give her anything. Moon thought if she could find what this Vates thing had to do with her and also thr witches. What did vampires have to do with witches? She rolled her eyes,tucking her strands of hair behind her ear,walking back to the couch picking up her phone shuving the laptop to the side. She checks for Isacc's contact pressing the call button
It rang for a little while,making her confused. Isacc usually answered on the first ring.
Finally answers,making the girl put on her ear.
"Hey,Stranger" that was the first thing that Moon said to him. "I didn't see you in school today, is everything okay?"
It took a few seconds before answered. [Uhh, yeah. I had to do something]
"Oh really," Moon smiled laying down. "What is it?"
[Nothing,really important. Really]
"Okay, where are you right now?"
[At Derek's.]
"Oh, how's cora doing" Isaac waited a bit too long before answering confused himself.
[Yeah, she's okay..]
"So I'm geussing that you can come over?, we could watch a movie and i ordered Chinese,plus i need someone'shelp on this thingim right now doing. " the girl chuckled,smiling.
[M, I'm really sorry maybe another time, this whole next sacrifice thing has got me on my toes]
"Yeah. Sure.. your busy it's totally fine. That Means you probably aren't coming to the recital tonight?"
[Yes, I'm really, really sorry, M.]
"It's fine." Moon assured him."I'll probably just call Allison if she wants to hangout" she says to him, grabbing a drink from the fridge. The minute she says that,she hears a little commotion going on, along the lines of say no to her.
Moon raised her eyebrow as Isaac immediately spoke. [I don't think you should do that]
"Why?"
"[Her dad,isn't allowing her go out of the house...because...she's sick.. yeah a really bad contaious fever]
"And how do you know this?"
[S-scott told me. Yeah,he and Chris were talking]
"Mkay, I'll call you later I geuss"
[Yes. Please do]
"Okay,bye" Well that was really suspicious, she wondered what he was doing that he didn't wanted to know about.
The girl fell on her couch again scrolling through her contact list before remembering that she needed to ask Stiles something about the whole Vates thing and what exact store he got it from. ,She pressed the called button, a ring only once before he answered.
[Hey,what's up?]
"Yeah, Stiles." Moon begins."I wanted to ask you what exact antique shop did you get my necklace from?"
[At this store down, Ryders avenue. Why you asking?]
"I don't know.. but I feel like it has something to do with my... you know what. And im right now finding out new stuff about it connecting to the Music box that was delivered to my ballet school."
[Uh,huh. Like what?]
"So you know anything about.. Vates?"
Stiles toom a few seconds before answering clearing his throat. [ Yeah. Actually]
"Where did you hear it from?"Moon jumped.
[From you, Moon]
She closed her eyes for a few seconds before speaking. "I'm sorry what? I've never mentioned anything like that in my entire life."
[Yes, you have Moon. Whenever you got your visions,that's the only thing you'll be able to say along with other I think Latin word's.]
....
[Moon?,hello Moon are you there?]
"Stiles, Vates means Witch"
[ witch?, what is that supposed to mean]
" I don't know, but I think those things I see, they're trying to tell me something"
[Do you want me to come over?, we could work on it together]
"No. Its fine, I can read about whatever this is another time. Where are you even?"
[I'm at my house, about to right now, confuse the living hell out of my dad]
"What's wrong" She smiled, closing her laptop.
[On the next of sacrifice list is guardians, and law informant had to do with that.]
"So,your telling you'd dad? And you thinks he's going to believe werewolfs, Vampires,and hunters exist?"
[Don't forget witches] She could already see the stupid grinned on his face.
"Okay, shut up!" The girl exclaimed trying not to laughing. "I only told you this, because it sounds like something you're familiar with"
[Yeah, I know. So I'm gonna do it I'm gonna tell him everything] she heard Stiles say more to himself.
"Yeah, good luck with that"
[Thanks] Stiles chuckled.
"Call me if everything goes smoothly"
[Don't worry I will.]
...
Moom smiled walking in to the schools auditorium, the woman handed her a brochure. As she watched the band practicing for the show. She sighed looking around to find maybe someone she knew.

~Moon's outfit~

Lydia did say she might come,but then again it's Lydia. Allison is completely ignoring all her texts. Maybe it's because she's tired and the fever, Moon thought.
"Hey, Moon" she turned around to look at Mrs Blake smiling at her. The girl blinks befor coming face to face with the thing she saw that morning. Then just suddenly her face went back to normal. "Hi,Mrs Blake?" The girl looked at her confused. "I didn't your the one who planned this orchestra?" She pointed to the plank Mrs Blake held.
"I am actually." The teacher chuckled."do you want me to show your seat?"
Moon shakes her head denying. "I'll find somewhere, I think I actually just spotted my friends over there. I'll see you after the show"
"Oh,uh,okay"
"Good luck by the way" Moon smiled looking back at her walking.
The girl still looks around noticing it was really only her that came for the rectile.
"Hey,Danny" Moon grinned walking over to him, as Ethan fixed his tie.
"Hi,Moon, didn't know you were coming, most of the ballet students have late night lessons"
"Oh, I don't do that anymore." Moon simply shrugged, as Danny nodded.
"How are you feeling by the way" the girl asked,feeling Ethans stare before looking at him then back at Danny.
"Great actually. Well,thanks to Mrs Mcall."Ethan chuckles,bringing out a pack of gum from his pocket, feeding it to Danny. "Still nervous?"
"All good. Okay." Danny tells,him making the girl adoring how cute they looked.
"If anything happens,find me,okay?" Ethan mentions to the boy, causing Moon took look at him. "Find me first" Danny nods at him, befor smiling at Moon walking off. Leaving the two of them.
"You really like him" She finally speaks,as Ethan turned to her.
"Why do you care?"
"Because,Danny is my friend, and if you so much as do hurt him, I'll come for you" the girl says, as Ethan looked at her taking a gulp.
"The both of you" she adds,facing her gaze on to Aiden already looking at them. "Have a good night." She smiled walking towards Lydia and Scott.
" I thought you were at home?" Moon asked Lydia joining them.
"Yeah, weren't you going home?" Scott agreed with her nodding.
"I don't know why I am the one that keeps finding the bodies"she said to them."but maybe. If I just stopped trying to fight it,I'd find them befor it happens, maybe with enough time for someone like the both of you to do something about it."
"You get me the time, and I'll do something about it." Scott said, as the girl crossed her arms nodding at her. "I swear to God"
...
Later that same hour,Moon headed to the bathroom, as the show began. The girl could already hear the instruments being played, with light harmonic rhythm to it. The notes kind of felt off to her. Maybe it's because the school is having someone else handle it.
She turns the tap on washing her hands,befor she looks up her eyes pouring with blood, the girl blinks once more,realising they were still there dropping befor the lights begin to
Flitter, Moon sniffs moving backwards, her eyse widen.
Not again. As she continued to walk backwards almost hitting the stall, she feels string lunged on to her neck begin to choke her, the girl looks up trying to gain her breath,as the lights start flickering off and on. She tries holding on to the string that was Dragging her into to still. She manages to pull the string back,twisting it before looking back at what was pulling her, she hisses, realising it was gone. Of course it was gone.
And so was the string.
..
After composing herself, she steps out walking out of the bathroom, entering the auditorium where the recital was being played. The girl struds in about to sit down, before noticing a familiar face next to another. The girl stares at them, her eyes filled with anger, but face calm.
Why did Isacc lie to her?
And how is she so stupid she didn't realise that Allison was with him. The girl stays there for a few minutes before simply walking away. She really couldn't deal with this right now.
Moon walked into a classroom,that looked like a complete mess,with chairs and tables thrown around.She looks up to see Stiles and Scott standing looking outside of the broken window.
"What happened here?"
