I sat in the compound when I heard muffled screaming. I furrowed my eyebrows before I heard the muffled scream become clear as glass. It was followed by heavy breathing and growling. I stood up and immediately the others appeared in the compound. "You guys heard that? Right?" Cassius asked. "Greetings from the dead." A voice said. We turned to the entrance of the compound to find Stiles still in his white suit with the tie undone and blazer in his hands. He was smirking. "I CALLED IT!!!!" Cassius screamed wide-eyed pointing at his sire. "Ha! You all thought I was going insane! But...I was right the entire time!" Cassius said. Klaus dropped his head and looked at Cassius. "No one likes a gloater, Cassius." Klaus told him. "Says the gloater." Stiles said smirking. Klaus looked at him smiling. Klaus wagged his finger in the air pointingly Stiles before embracing him. "You gave us all a scare there, brother." Klaus told him. Stiles shrugged. "I find that hard to believe." Stiles said hugging all of his family. He got to Jackson. Stiles sighed. "You're part of this family whether you like it or not, Lumberjack." He said shoving his hands into his pockets. Jackson scoffed smiling. "Lumberjack?" Jackson asked. "Yeah...Get used to it." Stiles said patting his shoulder. Stiles eyes landed on mine and I gave him a small smile. He walked over to me. "Hi--" "I didn't sorry." I said interjecting him. Stiles looked at me and a smile grew on his face. "You didn't have to." He said pulling me into a hug. I returned the hug and smiled. He pulled away. "Please tell me that I didn't miss Christmas?" Stiles said looking around at his family and friends. Rebekah smiled. "Like we would celebrate Christmas after thinking you just died." Rebekah said. "Smart move, sister. Smart move." He said.

I was currently talking with Scott, Derek, and Cassius. "So I believe it was the 15th century, was it?" Cassius asked looking at me for confirmation. "That depends what grand adventure do you plan on telling them about?" I asked taking a swig of my drink. "The tale of Lucrezia Borgia." Cassius said with a smirk. "Oh bloody hell." I said dropping my head. "Who's Lucrezia Borgia?" Scott asked curious. "A noblewoman that was the daughter of Pope Alexander VI. Stiles had to come up with some stupid excuse as to why he was bloody drunk off his arse without his pants. And it would have been a cold day in hell before he was going to tell Lucrezia how he lost her horse because the two of us were drunk and he sold the horse off to a farmer." Cassius said chuckling as he took another sip from his drink. I looked down and started toeing the floor. "Luckily...I compelled her to forget about the entire problem...I had to get the horse back from the farmer. Who wasn't too happy about having it taken away from him. He hit me in the head with a shovel. While Cassius just stood there and laughed like a drunkard." I said looking at him. "Oh come on. You got to chase me across the city with the same shovel afterwards." Cassius countered. "And I caught him too." I said smiling at Scott and Derek. "Oh he caught me alright. He compelled me to walk in to a brothel and made me show me arse to 14 women." Cassius. said. "Why 14?" Derek asked. "Twice the amount for how many minutes he stood there laughing at me as I tried to bargain with farmer." I said glaring at Cass. "I got banned from every brothel in the city, asshole." Cassius said. "Oh please. Like you didn't compel half of them to have sex with you later on." I said. Cassius froze. "To my defense. The may have liked the merchandise." Cassius said. I smacked him in the head disgusted. "You bloody disgust me." I said as he laughed. "No but in all seriousness. All seven of them slapped me in the face the next day...so." Cassius said with a shrug. "Gee...I wonder why?" I said sarcastically before I walked away to stand next to the tree in silence.
