Deception

The Caves End and Beginning

The cave looks like it's almost been mouldered out of a clay like substance as they walked further in.  Weeds cracking through the ground, the air was heavy as if they breathing in and out dust.

There was a coldness in the air that made the wolves agitated. Something primal inside them telling them to step no further, to turn back.

But Stiles walked on ahead as if he could not feel the chilling air gripping them, like he was immune.

Maybe whatever this is humans can't sense it Derek thought, knowing Stiles human senses where much duller than his.

The wolves desperately wanted to turn back but Stiles did not, so neither did they.

Stiles wasn't sure what he'd find at the end of this cave but he felt like he has stepped into a oven, his blood boiling and it got hotter and hotter the further he walked but funnily enough, it was a pleasant feeling.

His head that had started to thrum painfully however, was not.

"Freak" Erica growled, glaring at him.

Why were they down here? Just to please some human? It was just stupid to her, they should be home already. Not in a cave in some forest that gave her the creeps, hell this while cave gave her the creeps. Like insects were crawling under her skin, that feeling and the chilling air got worse the further in they got. She wanted to go home.

Stiles stiffened, turning around, he had enough of Erica's shit for one day and this heat spreading through his blood was making him feel bold.

"I'm sorry, what did just say?"

"You're a freak, we should be going?! Whatever this is, it obviously doesn't want us here! Why can't you feel that!" Erica hissed.

Stiles glanced at the rest of the pack, noticing the uncomfortable looks on their faces.

"Sorry but I agree with her dude, whatever this thing is, it does not want us here" Scott said when Stiles looked at him.

"Well, I think it wants me here, so if you'd all won't stop being such cowards, maybe you can just leave me here" Stiles said coldly, glaring at them.

"It feels like something is going to rip of my skin any second and crawling in it" Boyd said, almost pleadingly.

They all looked at Boyd worriedly.

He never pleaded, not until now..

"Well maybe we can feel that because we're werewolves, his only-" Scott started to say.

"I get that! Would you stop saying that! It's getting on my nerves! They know, you all know, that's clear and I know as well, I've had it rammed down my throat for weeks" Stiles snapped.

Derek did have the good sense to look a little guilty.

"Stiles, that's not-" Scott tried to say but Stiles interrupted him "Not what?!"

He turned to them all "You've all made that so clear. What? Do you have to keep reminding yourselves I'm not one of you?! Because I'm only human, like, like that means I'm not good enough?! Well if you stop for second I'd like to remind you it was me who found this place and actually-"

He glared at Erica.

"I do feel something actually but it's just not the same as you, like most things, just became its not the same, does not mean I'm less than any of you!"

Then fuming, he walked away from them angrily.

Wow...

He's gotten pretty upset but he'd never shouted at them all like that before...

He turned the corner, not waiting as Scott shouted after him.

Then he stopped...

And stared...

What the...

"Stiles, we didn't-" Scott tried to say, catching up with Stiles about to put his hand out but he missed grabbing Stiles when he saw what Stiles was starting at.

The pack where soon there, all gaping at what they were seeing before them.

There was the cave wall, it would have been the cave's end but there was something else.

A clear circle of light yellow energy was circling around and around, creating a clear circle of light as it did so.

"Is that a..." Stiles said, he never realised they existed.

"Seems like it" Scott said, eyes wide.

It was a portal.

But that wasn't really what they where staring at.

Because on the other side of the portal?

There was a city.
