I'll Last Forever

Clawing out of the Dark

Chapter 16:  

Stiles stared at the ground, unable to meet Noah's eyes. “Noah”.

“Yes?” He said sadly

Stiles’ eyes finally met Noah's, “promise me something… promise me that no matter how bad it gets, no matter how bad I get, no matter how much the pack will struggle. Promise me you’ll leave with the pack and anybody else you can get out of this town”.

“Stile-”

“Please...if everything I did in Beacon Hills was for nothing, at least make your promise worth it”.

Noah looked Stiles in the eye…”you know I can't make that call”.

Stiles was about to speak but Noah beat him to it, “Look, you may not think it but you mean something to us. Vampire or human, you are worth it. Yes you have had your setbacks. But, you have also had your good times. You have saved hundred of lives in your years, Stiles.”

Stiles glanced down with shame, “I have also destroyed thousands. And I don't want to ruin yours, that is why you have to at least try to convince the pack to leave...when he gets control of me.”

“Don't let him...he doesn't have control over you when you are like that. You have the control to turn your humanity off or on. You make that choice, but it's the bloodlust that consumes you. You have to choose whether to fight it or let it win”.

Stiles just nodded…”come on let's get home...I'll see if I can get this mess...cleaned up”, the original winced as he pulled Noah to his feet.

Noah sighed, “All these officers...it was my fault. I brought them here.” Small tears started to form.

“No. No it's not. You had no idea what was going to happen. It's not your fault, Noah.” Stiles exhaled, “I'll take...care of it”.

Noah nodded, not wanting to know what Stiles meant.

“You ok?” Stiles asked, “did the, you know…”

“Yeah, it worked. Everything's physically healed.”

“Good. Come on, let's get out of here”.

And they both walked out…

********

The wooden door creaked open, signaling that the two walked in the Stilinski residence. Stiles prepared himself for the smell of the dead girl’s blood in the bathroom, but as he got close he barely smelled any blood. Besides the blood that was running through his friend's veins. He got closer to the bathroom and opened the door. And all that remained was the bathroom essentials and bare white tiles, mocking him of how deprived they are of the girl's blood. Stiles slowly stepped in, seeing a note with familiar handwriting on it he picked it up.

Hello again brother,

I thought I would clean up this little mess. After all, I did have an influence on her. And by the way, don't worry about the bloody mess in the school, I'll clean it up. After all, Mieczyslaw, you are family.

Always and forever,

Klaus.

Stiles didn't know what to feel. He felt relieved and guilty. Relieved that he wouldn't have to deal with the bodies of Noah's past officers.  ‘What am I going to do?’ The original sighed.

“Stiles?”, Noah called, “you ok?”.

“Yeah...I'm fine”. Stiles said back, closing the bathroom door.

‘perfectly fine...just fine’.

Stiles kept repeating that to himself, until it was true. But we all know that monsters always come out of the dark sometime. And that just what Stiles was afraid of...his monster clawing out of the dark.

A.N.
