No One Left

In French Argent Means Sliver

Peter POV:

As I walked into the house with Stiles in my arms I saw Talia look at me. She looked at Stiles then back to me in askance. 

I whispered, "Let's eat, then wake him." Talia nodded in understanding. After I got 'permission', so to speak, I headed up the stairs to lay Stiles down in the guest bedroom he was using earlier. After I made sure he was okay, I slowly and quietly left the room, trying not to wake the boy. I headed back downstairs where my family was enjoying each other's company. I stepped up to Talia and said to her privately, well as privately as you could get in a family full of wolves. 

"Talia, maybe we should give a pre-announcement warning as to what will be discussed later tonight." Talia thought about what I said and slowly nodded her head. She made her way to the table and sat down, which signaled that dinner was starting. All the family members who came took their places and waited for Talia, to start. But today was different. Once everyone was seated, Talia rose from her chair with the air of her Alpha nature surrounding her. Everyone shut up immediately. 

And then Talia spoke, "Before we eat I have something to say. Everyone who is old enough stays after dinner today, and come with me to my office we have much to discuss. Also Derek," At this, she looked at him, "You will be there as well. Let's eat." She sat again and started eating. Everyone else took a minute but soon their hunger got the better of them. I looked toward Derek as he was the only one who left his plate untouched. He had fear etched into his eyes. I sighed, and also began to dig in. No point in being hungry, Not when there were important things to do later.

Dinner went along fine. Once Talia stood she called attention to all the parents and said that they could put their children to sleep then join us in the office. She looked towards me an motioned with her eyes upstairs. I understood what she meant and started my descent towards Stiles' room.

Stiles POV:

I woke up from a dreamless sleep. Which was a reprieve to my normal waking nightmares. As I sit up in the dark. I was scared not knowing where was I. But soon the fear left me as my eyes adjusted to the dark and I saw similar things, they weren't my things. I don't have 'things' anymore but I now know this room, my new yet temporary living arrangement. What I am curious is how I ended up here. The only logical explanation is Peter. I sigh. I put my feet on the cold floor, which wakes me up some, and I slowly tread to the door. But before I could get to it. It opens. I stare at Peter. Who had just opened the door, He also stares at me. Shock written across those younger features. 

He starts "Stiles your up good." He smiles. It's so weird, but I don't hate seeing the Hales happy. I nod. He then gestures to leave the room. I walk past him into the blinding light. 

"So. Is there something you wanted?" I ask as I can see Peter's face clearer.

 He nods. "Yes, actually. Talia called the family over and was going to talk to everyone about it and was going to talk to Derek as well. But we wanted you to come as well. If you don't mind." I was a little surprised that Peter just didn't drag me there. But I also realized he's not all into manhandling Stiles like the future version. I decided to cooperate. Because I'm the one with the most information in this instance. 

"Okay... Lead the way." Peter smiles and leads me to a door farther down the corridor. I don't hear anything in from here, it must be soundproof. Smart. For a house full of super hearing puppies.

Peter opens the door and we walk in. All the wolves look at me. Assuming it's because I smell different. And not like a pack mate. Everyone was quiet. Their gazes shifted between Peter and me. I wasn't feeling any emotions. I didn't know these people I hadn't the chance. They were all gone in my time. That thought made me a little sick. But Talia cleared her throat and gestured us forward. Peter parted the crowd and I stuck close following his path. Once we reached Talia everyone's eyes were on me. I got a bit self-conscious. I wasn't embarrassed just I'm not usually the center of attention. Or more so like it's been a long time since.
