There was silence. 

The McCall-Hale Pack looked at Percy in shock and awe. 

"Demigod?" Peter said, eyebrows raised almost to his hairline. 

Percy threw him a wolfish grin. "That's what I said, wasn't it?" He put out his hands and summoned the water from the surrounding area; it came to him as easily as the first time. The sound of rushing water filled the air, causing the werewolves to look around the forest as it streamed and weaved through the trees to surround Percy. 

Stiles shook his head. "Alright, alright, you can stop showing off now, Waterboy. We need to finish the job, so we can get away from this hellmouth." He turned back to Ki. "Okay, you ready to see your new home? 'Cause let me tell you…. It's not going to be pretty." 

Ki rolled his eyes. "I can't wait." 

Stiles snorted at his sarcasm and opened the portal; channeling the power from the Ley lines through the Nemeton to open it. 

He made ready to move Ki, but the criminal stopped him. 

"Wait! Wait! I have information S.H.I.E.L.D should know. If you put me through that portal, you'll never know it." He rambled, panicking at the last moment. Stiles raised an eyebrow, his expression cautious and curious. 

"Unfortunately, S.H.I.E.L.D doesn't negotiate with terrorists." Stiles said, pushing him through the portal. 

"Know this then," Ki yelled, as the portal was closing. "Sallaraevath has awoken… and she's coming for her sister." 

The portal closed. 

Stiles' breath was caught in his throat. Fear set in, causing the werewolves behind him to whine and whimper and growl. Percy came to stand next to him, the same expression on his face. 

"Did he just say what I think he said?" He asked, looking at the spot where the portal once was. Stiles nodded. 

He looked at Percy with wide eyes. "We need to go. We need to warn them." He said, body shaking minutely. 

"Who is Sallaraevath?" Derek asked, not liking the smell of fear on his chosen one. 

Stiles looked at them and shook his head. "In order to explain everything, it would take more time than what I have. Short version, she's one of the most powerful magical beings in the known universe and she's coming straight for my team. I need to leave before it's too late." 

"We can help you, Stiles." Peter stated, grabbing his arm as he tried to move passed with Percy. 

"You can help by protecting this town from everything and anything. Have Deaton reset the wards around town. You're going to need them." Stiles replied, patting the older man on the shoulder. "I'm going to ask a favor of you all, especially you, Peter."

Everyone, bar Percy, nodded. 

"Keep my dad and everyone safe. No matter what." He continued, looking pointedly at Peter. 

Peter nodded again. "You know I will." 

Stiles sighed heavily and looked at Scott. "I'm sorry, and I know that we have our differences, but you need to listen to me and listen to me carefully. Whatever comes into this territory, you will treat it like a threat. If you thought that the Nogitsune or the Alpha pack was bad, Sallaraevath is almost a hundred times worse. She won't keep you prisoner and she won't keep torturing you forever- she'll just rip your soul from your body and let demons loose on it, you hear me? She does not care about mortals, supernatural or not." 

Stiles stuck out his hand. Scott looked at him and then the outreached hand, and shook it. 

"I will." Stiles nodded his thanks and left with Percy.
