Vindex *Stiles Stilinski* Book 2

This world

"How much do you know about this stuff?" I ask Lydia as we sit in her room.

After talking to Scott and finding out that Jackson is in fact not dead he's just evolving, Stiles and I's job was to get Lydia to Jackson.

"Pieces. Half of it's like a dream." She murmurs.

"Yeah, well, guess what? The other half is like a freaking nightmare." Stiles grumbles earning an elbow in the gut from me.

"I don't care. I can help him." Lydia plead. I was still skeptical about letting her in on this bizarre world.

"See Lyd that's what worries me, you aren't worried about what can happen to you. All you're worried about is Jackson. What you fail to realize is Jackson treated you like shit half the time. So yes I'm going to help him because it's basically what I do in this supernatural world. But you, you don't have to do this! So why in the hell would you willing jump head first into this world for a guy who never gave a crap about you." I ask in a lowly voice so she knows how serious I am.

"Why is it different for me to be in this world than Stiles? Isn't he only in this because of you? Because his love for you is so strong that he is willing to risk it all for you? I don't need you're permission Devin. You're my best friend and I know you're just trying to look out for me but I'm doing this. If you aren't going to help me then I'll go by myself." She states standing up and grabbing her jacket.

My eyes widen as I stare at Stiles. "She told you." He chuckles.

Reaching forward I hit him in the shoulder before jumping up. "Lydia wait!" Running out after Lydia I catch her at the front door. "I'll help you, but you have to promise me if I tell you to run, you run ok?"

"Deal." Lydia smiles. "Now let's go." I nod and we both make out way to the jeep. It is then that I realize Stiles must've stopped in the house.

"I'm going to go get him I'll be right back." I say jumping out and jogging into the house.

"No, I'm not a hero, dad." I hear Stiles say.

"You were last night." You could hear the pride in the sheriff's voice.

"I'm not a hero." Footsteps them start coming my way and I turn acting like I just came back in the door. When Stiles see me a small frown appears on his face. "I know you heard."

"I did, but just so you know... You're a hero in my book too." I say placing a kiss on his check and intertwining out hands.

"Right here! There that's where they are!" I point to the old building.

"Well what the hell do I do?" Stiles ask looking between Lydia and I.

"How am I suppose to know?" Lydia shrieks.

A glisten appears in Stiles eyes. "Alright hold on everybody." Next thing I know this idiot is flooring it through the side of the building. "Did I get him?" Stiles ask peeking open his eyes at me.

I go to respond but am interrupted by the kanima jumping on the hood of the jeep. "Holy shit!" I yell. 

Stiles and I both scramble out of the car and over to the side. When I turn I see Lydia standing facing Jackson. "Lydia no!" I go to run after her but Scott stops me. "Wait." He whispers.

Lydia stands there eyes closed holding up a key. Jackson stands there staring at the key. Slowly he begins shifting back into his normal form. Reaching out he takes the key from her hand and stares at it. He takes a step back staring at Derek who I just noticed is on the ground.

Before I know it Derek and.... What the hell Peter lunge for Jackson. "No!" I shriek but it's to late. They both plunge their claws into Jackson stomach and back.

I stand there frozen not knowing what to do ask Jackson falls to his and Lydia catches him. "Do- do you still." Jackson chokes out.

Lydia nods with tears in her eyes. "I do. I do still love you. I do, I do still love you. I do. I do. I do still love you, I do."

I turn to Stiles and tuck my head in his check hugging him. I don't know what I would do if that was me. All I know is I can't lose Stiles. "Where's Gerard?" I hear Allison ask making me lift my head.

"He can't be far." Chris says looking around.

Everyone remains silent as Lydia stands up and turns around. Seeing her tear stained face I go to take a step forward but stop when I hear nails scratching behind her.

Stiles takes a few steps closer to me wrapping his arms around my waist as Jackson slowly stands up. With piercing blue eyes he lets out a roar.

Lydia immediately jumps into his arms squeezing him tightly. I hadn't realized I was crying till I felt a tear land on my own hand. "Come on let's go home." I say tugging Stiles hand.

"Stiles?" I ask as we lay on his bed, my head on his chest.

"Hmm?" He hums keeping his eyes closed. 

"Do you regret it?" I ask softly.

His eyes peel open as he looks at me confused. "Regret what?"

"Falling for me? Getting involved in this unpredictable world? Hell getting involved with my psychotic family?" I ask sitting up so I'm looking him in the eyes.

Stiles sighs and follows suit so he is eye level with me. "No I do not regret it. Devin you're my world, you have been since we were 5. You're my best friend, you know me better than I know myself and I the same with you. I wouldn't trade a single day in your world for a hundred years another way. We've been through hell and back together and to be honest we'r probably going to have to go through it about a hundred more times, but you know what? With you by my side I don't care what I have to do. You and I, we have what everyone wants, eternal love. So no I don't regret falling for you, I thank god I fell for you every time I look into you're eyes or see that loving smile you give me. You're my other half Devin and I know I couldn't live with out you. By the time he was done u had tears streaming down my cheeks.

"I love you. I love you so much it hurts. I hate seeing you in this world because everyone I'm close to ends up getting hurt. This world isn't safe." I say looking down at my hands.

"I'm not safe without you. Devin with out you, I'd go out of my freaking mind. I'd probably land myself in Eichen House or something. You are the one who keeps me sane. You are MY anchor." Stiles says taking my hands in his.

"I don't deserve you." I mumble crawling up to him.

"I say the same thing every night."
