Scene 27: Wishing for Simplicity

Stiles' POV

I have been stuck sitting on my bed cross-legged for the past 3 hours. Now you may be wondering when on Earth I have ever sat still for this long. The answer is never. This just happens to be the first time.

My mind has been on a constant loop of whether or not I should use my ring. I've been mulling over this idea for a few days now. It just wasn't until today that I actually reached a decision.

Stretching my arm over towards the bedside table I plucked the ring from its original spot and held it in my palm. Looking at it from this angle caused the sunshine streaming through the windows to bounce off and create a ray of dazzling orange light.

I never seemed to notice just how beautifully crafted the ring actually was. Until now. As I slipped it on my right middle finger a gasp of surprise left my lips.

"It's a perfect fit." I mumbled.

Right then and there I vowed to never question nor doubt Briar's intentions ever again. She really is our Guardian Angel. I thought to myself.

"I guess this is the moment of truth." As soon as those words left the crevices of my mouth I was immediately thrown into a vision.

In the Vision

"Mm. Did you bring him? Oh, come in, Scott. Come give an old man something for his pain." Gerard Argent.

"You don't have to do this." Allison.

"If you want me to talk then this is how it's going to happen."

"If I do this, then you have to tell us everything you know." Scott.

"Everything. Ah."

There was a sudden rush of wind and then the vision altered. It seemed like a time skip happened. It must only show the parts that are important.

Gerard was talking once more. "I don't go easily, though, do I? You know, Scott, you've made me something of a celebrity here. I'm a medical mystery. The cancer is now virtually undetectable, but the doctors have no clue why my body keeps producing and ejecting this bizarre black fluid."

"I did what you wanted me to do. Now tell us how to beat him."

"You can't. I've tried."

"Then this is a complete waste of time. He doesn't know anything. Sorry you did this. Let's go."

"Wait. I can tell you one thing. Deucalion may have lost his eyes, but he's not always blind."

Another rush of wind was felt and a second time skip took place.

"They were all there... Ennis, Kali, Deucalion... Each with their own packs, before they'd killed them all and decided to form their little all-star team."

"But they didn't all live here, did they?"

"No, but there was an exceptionally powerful Alpha who did. She had the ability to shape-shift which was rare among her kind. That made her something of a leader, the kind of person that they would go to for advice and guidance... Talia Hale."

"How does he know all about Celtic symbols and druids?"

"Know thy enemy, Allison. The older wolves had a relationship with the Druids. They called them emissaries."
