Chapter 12 - Friends and Family

Scene 20: 6 Mangy Teens

3rd Person POV

Scott, Stiles, Isaac, Boyd, Lydia, Allison and Briar were all found sound asleep on the bus the next morning by Coach Finstock.

The older man just sighed, but then smiled evily when he decided to wake them up. "I don't want to know. I really don't want to know, but in case you missed the announcement, the meet's been cancelled, so we're heading home. Pack it in. Pack it in!"

The teens all groaned, but got up anyway. The only one who was still asleep was Briar.

"She had a long night." Lydia whispered.

"What happened exactly?" Scott asked, wanting to know just how the vampire had lost her breath and passed out.

Before Lydia could answer the vampire in question gasped awake, but something else happened that had the teens suddenly on edge.

A small silver pouch had somehow magically appeared in Briar's lap when she woke up, but that wasn't all. A crown made of smooth, shiny lapis and the finest silver metal had placed itself on the top of her head.

"What? How? Where?" Stiles was absolutely flabbergasted at how these items had magically come into Briar's possession.

"Now, before you all get suspicious and upset with me please let me explain." The vampire begged.

All six teens nodded their heads signalling her to begin.

Briar let out a quiet sigh before telling the story of her visit from Death and Macey.

"So, you're saying that these rings along with that crown are gonna help us defeat evil?" Stiles scoffed. "Am I the only one who thinks this is a load of crap?"

Isaac reached out and grabbed Briar's hand. "I believe you." He said sincerely.

"Could I see the ring meant for me?"

"What?! Scott! No! For all we know this could be a trick!"

"For all you know." Once the teen wolf was handed his ring the bond was immediately formed and Scott felt a sudden rush of power and adrenaline course through his body.

"Woah." He mumbled. Scott then slipped the ring on his right middle finger finding it to be a perfect fit.

"Briar." He murmured, looking up and locking eyes with the vampire. "I believe you."

Briar's POV

After Scott declared his trust in me I felt another wave of sincerity flow through my body. It first happened with Isaac when he grabbed my hand and claimed he believed me. I figured it was from the bonds forming. The rings seemed to make it more pronounced.

As soon as the other teens saw that Scott's ring did, in fact, not hurt him they were much quicker to get on board.

Lydia, Allison and Isaac were the next three to obtain their rings. Boyd quickly followed placing his ring on his right middle finger just like Scott. However, Stiles was still a bit reluctant to take his.

"Stiles, come on. Don't be ridiculous. Briar's had many chances to hurt us and she's never done it once. Why would she start now?"

"Oh, alright. Fine! I'll take the stupid ring!" In that instant when Stiles was gifted the piece of jewelry the bond tangled his heart causing him to have second thoughts.

"Wow. Um... Briar. I had, I had no idea. I'm so sorry." The spastic teen felt guilty. He didn't mean to sound so rude. He was just being cautious. Well, maybe a little over-cautious.
