I ship sterek!

7. Aftermath

'Possibly a witch. Sensed Adara's power and set you all up,' Deaton said, 'Even fooled Lydia.'

The next day we all went to Deaton's. he explained the possibility of a witch pulling all this stunt. Boiling heads and trick bombs. Seriously!

Deaton gave me a glass of orange juice. Not to drink, no. He told me to turn it into water like I tried in the woods. I tried and failed. I tried again and failed. I tried again and again but it didn't work. The glass broke and juice spilled on the floor but it didn't turn into water.

Then he told me to try to make it disappear. Same result. I can't. Stiles the genius spoke this time and put a lit candle in front of me. He told me to cover the flame so that nothing goes in and nothing goes out. not even air. On my third try, it worked. I created a cover around the candle. It went out after sometimes. It worked!

'YESS! AWESOME, this could have worked then,' Stiles said and fist bumped in the air. We all smiled.

'What does this witch want?' Scott asked Deaton.

'They are around for a long time. Maybe this one is bored,' Deaton said, 'Or just is bloodthirsty.'

'Finding out who this person is would help,' Mason said.

'I think so too. Who knows what stunt he's gonna pull next,' Stiles said. Then he turned at me and said, 'And YOU are gonna help us.'

I gave him a LOOK.

'How do these witches' function?' Malia asked Deaton.

'They cast spells I heard. Use magic. I've never faced one,' he responded.

'Any books about them?' Liam asked.

'Not any I know of,' Deaton said.

'Internet,' Stiles said grinning, 'leave it to me.'

Then we heard a murmur from the back of the room where Derek stood who was awfully silent for some reason the whole time. I didn't get what he said but the werewolves around the room certainly did. And after seeing their amused face, well...

Witches are nasty killers. Not all of them though. The ones went nuts are horrible people. And we are facing one. Stiles did the research and found out many things about their origin and ways of living and I DON'T REMEMBER MOST OF THEM. Forgive me. One thing, they use hex bags. Burn the hex bag, you destroy the magic.

I just know almost all of them have a cruel childhood because of the magic they are born with. They live long because of some kind of spell. Very hard to kill because necromancy is famous within the witch community. Other than these, not much information is known about them.

Chris Argent stopped by and shared some of his knowledge. He said he heard some kind of tree root destroys their magic. It doesn't kill them. But that piece of information can be just a story. He doesn't even know the tree name.

One month went by. The witch killed two more people the same way. We saw hex bags with those bodies. Those bags contained small bones, baby nails (I hate this witch) and many creepy things. We tried to catch it but still no outcome. Stiles gave some catches but dead end. We have no idea who's this.

I improved my power. I can understand emotions well and sometimes can even affect them in a way. I can move bigger things and can focus better. Controlling this became easier.

I still practice with the pack. Those marks that appeared on my hand vanished that day when we came back from the woods. I thought about them a lot and I think they are warnings. Like on that day three people were harmed. Malia, Stiles and Derek. If it's like that then it's good actually. Easier for me to predict.

Recently, I noticed one thing. Normally, Derek is silent and expressionless type. But these days he's more silent than usual. And when Stiles is around his mood shifts drastically. His emotions are still a mess. I sense confusion, frustration, guilt, mistrust, edginess and ADORATION? All these emotions swirl around him. They make me dizzy so I try not to focus on his emotions. And he wouldn't like me sneaking into his mind either. Stiles is oblivious about how his presence affects Derek of course.

'This month, two new people moved to this town. A brother and a sister. Jack and Jacey Miller. I say, find out about them. New people in Beacon Hills means danger,' Stiles said and silently mouthed a 'sorry' in my direction. I rolled my eyes.

We were in the woods. I was there because I wanted to go there. The whole pack was there because someone they knew was missing. This someone is their coach. They were searching for him and they found me playing in my game console. After that they dragged me with them.

'They live near Mason's house and goes to the local college,' Stiles said, 'nothing apprehensive and that makes me worry.'

'You can sense energy, right?' Scott said to me suddenly.

'Yeah, I did that day,' I said.

'I don't understand, how does that help in this situation?' Malia said frowning.

'You meet them and sense them,' Scott said. His tone confident, 'then we grab them and imprison them somehow.'

'Sounds like a good plan!' Stiles said.

'ok,' I said, 'but how do I meet them? Knock at their door and say I wanted to say hi?'

'Yeah and then you have a nice chat with them. And Liam here tries to sense anyone else is in the home or not,' Stiles said.

We nodded.

Really sorry for the long absence. My lappy broke and the drafts were saved in it.

Sorry again.
