Deception

Epilogue

No one said a word for a while but it was a comfortable silence. Instead of one filled with threat.

Stiles looked at Derek but his eyes were soft and his smile was no longer cold.

"I think it's time you left, don't you?"

There was nothing else to do.

Nothing else to say.

Derek knew better than to ask Stiles when he would be returning to his world, Stiles had a duty to his people, here.

"That would... probably be best" Derek said slowly.

"Wait, now? But-but Stiles we've hardly spent any time with you. I thought you were dead minuetes ago, this can't be it!" Scott blurted, unable to control his mouth.

Stiles said more sternly, almost sounding like a parent scolding a child "There isn't anything left to discuss"

He then added, more lightly "I need to stay here. You all need to back to your home. You belong there"

Everyone caught on what he was saying. The pack shifted slightly, ashamed.

"I belong here now" Stiles said gently.

He then held out his hand towards Derek.

"Its time you went home"

"No, wait! Stiles-!" Scott shouted, hurrying forward but he was to late.

Derek grabbed hold of Stiles hand after a second hesitation.

There surroundings shifted and the pack were pulled along with Derek. Suddenly as the world shifted around them Stiles glanced at Derek. He smiled, then something flashed in Stiles eyes. A Some sharp and electrifying feeling suddenly shot through Derek's hand that was holding Stiles, shooting through the rest of his body.

He cringed, almost letting go of Stiles hand, then oddly his connection to his pack strengthened right them. Derek could...sense them a lot more than before.

However reality hit hard, or he should have really thought the ground hit hard.

They had all fallen over, the force of being pulled into another world to great for them to keep steady. As soon as Derek had fallen he'd known that Stiles was not with them. That Stiles had left them in their own world.

"No, no, no! Why did you let him do that!?" Scott snapped angrily, jumping to his feet quickly, realising that Stiles was no longer with them.

Derek raised his eye brows at Scott as he said dryly "Let him? I don't think anyone could stop him doing what he wants. I know you're sometimes a little slow on the uptake but you might have noticed that Stiles is basically a ruler of an entire world"

Scott scowled at him but didn't argue.

"Who are and what have you done with Derek?!" Isaac cried out suddenly.

Who shot him a look of confusion and irritation.

"What? I think you just used sarcasm right then" Isaac said smirking.

"And the Derek we know would never have given up control like that" Boyd added casually.

"You both are hilariously funny, really, you two should be comedians" He retorted, glaring at both of his grinning beta's.

Isaac noticed Erica wasn't joining in, usually she would have...

Instead she was staring of into space, her eyes wide and she looked deep in thought.
