STILES' JEEP
Cy

Stiles drives his vehicle transporting us both to the cruise where the auction is being held. The rest are in separate cars, leaving me and Stiles on our own. I look out the window seeing the view of everything pass me like the centuries that were wasted and taken from me. I blame my brother for everything, for everything that happened in my miserable immortal life, it's because of him.

"You alright there?" Stiles breaks the silence and I turn my head towards him as I feel restrained by the almighty seatbelt.

"Just thinking." I respond back calmly, as I pull down the visor from the car and slide open the mirror. I begin to play with my hair and try to make myself seem proper and lustful to anyone.

"About?" He continues to talk, trying to make conversation. I don't respond and he reaches over to me, slapping the visor up into the roof of the car. I sigh and lean back into the seat fully resting on the chair and cross my arms being frustrated. I just want my shard!

"Nothing that concerns you." I respond with a snarky tone and then begin to wonder about him. "Why do you care about me so much?" I ask wanting to know his real truth, and what he has to say. I could just read into his mind, but it's not fun. "What is in it for you?"

"Because there is still some good in you." He responds back with truth and honesty. I roll my eyes and scoff turning away from him. "I know you don't see it, but I see it. You showed me your entire past for a reason." He begins to get on to my psychology and I want him out of my head now. "Just because someone stumbles and loses their way. It doesn't mean they're lost."

I scoff at him once more and get serious with him. I know my true nature, and there is no redemption for a creature. Especially for a monster like me.

"You humans are so in touch with your feelings." I say disgusted with his excessive amount of empathy for me. "It's what makes you humans weak. On the surface, us sirens were whatever you desired for us to be. We were your greatest lustful fantasies. Yet, in our natural state in the water, we saw you as prey. Our instinct is to kill. You humans never understood that." I inform him. "We are creatures of the ocean. With all creatures, we have habits that have helped us survive for centuries." I continue to guard myself from Stiles but he sees it right through me.

"You told me once that you tried hard to be good. So why don't you put that same effort in tonight and show us how good you can truly be." Stiles says as he parks his car in the parking lot and he's right. Stiles gets out of the car shutting the door behind him as he begins to act more dominant. No one has ever believed in me like Stiles has since Oliver.

CRUISE SHIP

Stiles and I walk in together as Stiles locks his arms with mine as we are a couple in this party. We both walk through the event, scanning the perimeter trying to find Derek, Peter or Lyn in this event. I begin to get frustrated as I don't sense them here either, I can't find them and it's almost like I'm being blocked from them. 

'I know you're here' I send out a wave to Lyn as I know he is hiding. 

"They'll show up, I'm sure of it." Stiles reassures me as he sees me beginning to get angered. The doors open again, and I look at the guest entering in to see the rest of the pack dressed in formal clothing as well. They're here to distract like we planned out. "That's our queue." Stiles reminds us both and we both walk out of the main event.

"Let's go." I say wanting to find the pieces of the horn as I know exactly where they are. Stiles and I stop locking arms and we split up going to search for the pieces on our own.
