Taking a deep breath I raise my fist to the door and knock lightly. "You think he'll do it?" Stiles whispered in my ear, wrapping his arms around my waist.
"He's my only hope." Ok maybe I should elaborate now. Currently Stiles and I are at the dorms of The University of Southern California in search of my ex from freshman year.
Will was a senior when I was a freshmen, which of course drove Scott and Stiles crazy but what can I say I was rebelling. Anyways Will was my first serious boyfriend, we started dating the summer before my freshmen year, I actually met him through Scott and Stiles cause he played lacrosse. Anyways we dated for 8 months until he said I love you and I freaked.
"Devin?" My eyes shot up from the ground to Will who was standing in front of me looking shocked.
"We need your help." I say seriously.
Will eyes Stiles and I carefully before opening up the door wider letting us in. I grab Stiles hand and tug him into the dorm. "What's wrong?" Will ask with the same serious I used outside.
"I need you to do a blood ritual." I says.
Confusion crosses is face as he looks between Stiles and I. "Devin why would you need a blood ritual? The only werewolves that ever get those are alphas and Vindex..." His eyes grow wide. "Wait are you an alpha?"
I shake my head. "No, we ummm had some...Family issues." I trail off trying to find the words.
"Long story short her psychotic uncle tried to kill her resulting in her becoming a Vindex and now that might kill her if we don't do this damn ritual." Stiles vents, I think he's finally cracked with all this Vindex stuff.
Worry settled in Will's eyes. "Ok um well who are you wanting to connect to?"
I reach down and find Stiles hand intertwining our fingers. "Stiles, he's my anchor."
Stiles smiles at me and gives my hand a small squeeze. "Alrigh, but I must warn you two, this isn't a simple spell and it's probably gonna hurt like a bitch." Will warns.
"If it helps her gain control I'll do anything." Stiles says looking me dead in the eyes.
Will nods, "Alright let me get some things." He walks back to a different room.
"You don't have to do this Stiles." I say turning to him.
Stiles shakes his head and places his hand on my cheek. "Devin this is the second time I've watched you almost die, I'm not letting it happen again. If this little ritual or what ever will make you stronger and more in control then I'll do it. I love you so remember that." He ends his little speech by pressing a kiss to my forehead.
"I love you too." I smile up at him.
"I hate to break up the love fest," Will interrupts walking back in. "But I have everything." He motions to all the witchy stuff that has recently been laid on the table.
Nodding I take Stiles hand and walk over to the couch. "Ok first things first, are you sure you want to do this, this bond is eternal that means even if something goes wrong between the two of you and you break up you must maintain a positive relationship. Otherwise Devin will be weak, extremely weak, like she's been shot with a wolfsbane bullet." I take a side glance at Stiles to see his eyes are wide.
"We're sure." I answer for the both of us.
Will nods. "Alright well do you have an item to put the blood in."
I nod and reach down into my bag pulling out my locket. "It was my mothers, she wore it everyday. When I went back to the house after the fire I found it in the rubble." I mumble rubbing my fingers over the triskele.

"It's perfect." Will says gently taking it from my grasp. "Now here's how this will work, the two of you will slice your palm with the knife," he holds up a silver knife with fancy carvings on it. "You will the let 7 drops of blood drip into the bowl before placing your palms together, from there I will perform the spell merging the two bloods. The locket will hold the blood that mixed in the bowl and will act as a connection between the two of you." Will explains throughly.
I nod in understanding. "Alright whose up first?" Will ask holding out the knife.
I start to reach out for it but Stiles hand grasp it first. Looking my dead in the eyes he drags the blade across his palm, only cringing slightly before handing the blade to me. I watch slowly as he holds his hand over the bowl and watches 7 drops drip from his palm.
Stiles eyes find their way back up to mine sending me a nod. Slowly I drag the blade across my own palm before setting it down on the table and letting the blood drip into the bowl.
"Good now if you would place your palms together, almost like you're high-fiving." Stiles and I do so and Will takes the locker and wraps it around our hands.
"Sanguine coniunctus est , quod Sanguinem vincula . Connect amantium corda et mentes." He chants three times over. As he speaks the blood in the bowl slowly merges together bubbling and steaming.
"It's done." Will says opening his eyes. Picking up the bowl he unwraps the locket from our hands and pours the blood into it. "This is for you."
"Thank you." I smile taking the locket and placing it around my neck. "Really thank you for doing this, I really appreciate it."
"It's the least I could do. Trust me there's no way I'll ever be able to repay your mother for all she did." Will says.
"That's just the kind of person she was." I smile looking up at the clock o the wall. "Crap we have to go if we're gonna make it back in time. " I realize.
"Your right, Lydia will have our heads if we don't make it back." Stiles agrees.
"Thanks again Will, it means a lot that you did this for me. I'll keep in touch ok?" I ask heading out the door.
"Definitely, bye Devin, Stiles." Will wave before shutting the door.
Stiles and I quickly made our way back out to the car to make it back for Lydia party. "Question." Stiles says catching my attention as he starts down the highway. "Am I suppose to feel any different?"
I let out a laugh, "No babe, you shouldn't feel any different."
Stiles lets out a sigh of relief. "Phew I though I had like screwed the whole thing up."
