The Witch and the Werewolf - Derek Hale

Chapter 5 - The Tell

Liana was working on developing a new spell...a protection bracelet. She wanted to give one to Derek, Isaac, and Stiles. Maybe even Noah, but she would have to figure out how to convince him to wear it, since he only wears a watch and no other jewelry. Since he doesn't know about the supernatural, she can't just tell him it's to protect him. 

The bracelets will make it so if they get hurt, it will take more to conflict damage but also helps heal them faster. It was a tricky spell and she was running dangerously low on her herbs. She needed more herbs so she decided to go talk to Deaton about his supplier. If she left the house now, she should be able to catch him right at closing. 

Liana left the house and made her way to the animal clinic. She walked in as Deaton was about to leave. 

"Can I help you?" Deaton asks

"Hi. I wanted some information on your supplier." Liana says with a smile

"Supplier?"

"For all those witchy herbs you have in the cabinet over there." Liana says as she points over to the cabinet.

"I'm afraid I have no idea what you are talking about."

"Really?" Liana asks and she walks over to the cabinet and pulls out the bins. "Somebody that doesn't know about the supernatural, or at the very least witches, wouldn't have any idea these herbs even exist let alone how to find them."

"I have no idea what those are." Deaton says, obviously lying.

"I know you're lying. Look, I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to know who your supplier is. I'm almost out of the herbs that my dad had before he died and I am in need of a restock."

"You're a witch, aren't you?"

"Does this answer your question?" Liana asks as she dumps a container of dog treats on the exam table and then uses her magic to levitate it back into the container.

"Yeah. That pretty much answers it." Deaton says as he puts his bag down.

"I'm sorry for barging in. I found the herbs the other night when I was helping to save my soulmate from dying from wolfsbane poisoning. I don't mean to intrude or impose and I'll happily replace the herbs I used. I just wanted information on your supplier." Liana says before she slowly walks up to him. "I'm Liana. Liana Pearce." Liana says holding out her hand for Dr. Deaton to shake.

"Pearce? Any relation to Adam Pearce?" Deaton asks and Liana lowers her hand. 

"I'm his daughter." She says.

"You're little Ella?"

"How do you know what my dad called me?" Liana cautiously asks as she stepped back. 

"I'm Alan Deaton. Your dad saved my life more times than I could count. I was sorry to hear of his passing."

"He did?" She asks and he nods. "Wait...are you Al? The druid friend of my dad's? The one he's known since middle school?"

"So he's told you about me, huh?" Deaton says with a smile.

"Yeah. He used to tell me stories of some of your adventures together as bedtime stories." Liana says with a smile.

"So you came here wanting information on my herb supplier?"

"Yeah. The only herbs I have are the ones that my dad had before he passed. There wasn't a lot to begin with and now I'm either out or dangerously low."

"Well that is an easy fix." Deaton says before walking to the back and coming back with a box about a minute later. Liana had put his herbs back where he had them while he was gone. "Here you go. A full supply of every herb you'd want or need." He says passing her the box.
