Deception

Projecting

Stiles knocks loudly on Madam Rucia's door, trying to get his meeting with Fritz out of his mind, she was one creepy lady that he did not want to be capturing and tormenting his thoughts. She'd done it enough already. 

The door suddenly swung open, revealing a scary looking Rucia, who looked like she was going to murder him. Eyes narrowed and nostrils flaring. 

"What do you want, this better be good or-" She growled. 

Her ruins seem to shine threateningly in the dark. 

Stiles quickly put his hands up in a surrender like motion as he said quickly "I didn't mean to but I didn't see any other way, its my father Ma'am, its been almost half a year and I haven't contacted him since, I thought you might know how I can contact him, please, I don't know any other way and I have no idea how his doing and he-" 

Madam Rucia stopped Stiles panicked rambling with a look. 

To his relief though, she did look calmer, however her hair that was all over the place did give her this almost deranged look. 

"Oh, that" She said, like he'd just told her that it was night time. 

"What-" Stiles started to say but Madam Rucia waved her hand dismissively, interrupting you. 

"I suppose no ones told you, our time runs differently here. Two weeks here is only one week over there, you haven't been gone around six months, it should be only there months in the human world. Didn't you notice how the cave messed with the time when you found it?" 

Stiles vaguely recalled thinking he'd only been gone a couple of minutes, when for the pack it had been much longer but he couldn't remember it in detail. 

The timing difference though scary and could mean many more things but Stiles couldn't think of them now, all that mattered was his father.

"Three months is still a long time" Stiles said shakily. 

"Not for us" 

"It is for him!" 

Madam Rucia seemed to agree to that, nodding thoughtfully. 

She finally said "There is a way to contact him, without going to the human world, though you'll have to project your energy into the human world, then find him and contact him from there. As you are connected through DNA, your energy shouldn't have a hard time finding him" 

"So I need to project...?" Stiles said, feeling clueless. 

"Just imagine the portal, where you came in, then think of your home town and your father. Think about what you want to do when your energy finds him, thats how you can contact him" 

"Okay" Stiles said. 

He understood that... 

Maybe. 

"Thank you Ma'am" He said. 

She nodded, allowing him to go but before he started to rush away she said warningly "If you wish to do this now, I must insist you practice and pull this of outside" 

"Outside? Why outside?" Stiles asked, not fond of the man eating plants he had a feeling, that lurked somewhere in that garden... 

She said dryly "With you're new energy, if you get it wrong, the side effects can be...explosive" 

Stiles blushed a little in embarrassment and cringed, thinking about yesterday with Kirah and how many times his magic had blew him from his feet. 

"Outside it is then" He said sheepishly then started to hurry away. 

Madam Rucia watched him go, then breathed in with irritation then called after him "Mieczyslaw, the doors outside is that way" 

She pointed in the opposite direction he was going in. 

Stiles laughed nervously "I knew that" 

Then he hurried past her in the direction she'd pointed to. 

Madam Rucia did wonder if in the morning, he'd be back in his room, or she'd have to go on a hunt for a lost Mieczyslaw. 

It was probably the latter.
