Forget Me Not

17. Bean what?

Derek and I were in my kitchen, making coffee, I was counting how many spins I could do before I threw up while he was reading a newspaper.

I felt his hand land on my shoulder stopping my spins, I pouted then I noticed he didn't take his eyes off the paper, but he managed to pour two cups of coffee while reading, "William barrow is nothing like Stiles" Derek said, I looked at the paper and noticed he was reading the article about William barrow blowing up the school bus, "maybe he was possessed by the nogitsune when he did it, then it transformed to Stiles" I said, then took a sip of my liquid.

A piping hot, bitter taste entered my mouth "but why" he mumbled, last time Derek makes coffee, I made silent gagging faces, I pulled out a spoon and scrapped my tongue, as quiet as I could I poured bits of the drink into the sink when Derek looked up I held the mug to my face as if I enjoyed it.

"Oh yeah, my dad wants to have a man to man with you" I told Derek "when is this" he asked "as soon as possible" I told him, "alright well I'll see you" he told me "good luck" I said "it'll only be good if your mother isn't there" he told me before kissing my once on my lips and planted another on my forehead, then left the room.

I walked into my living room moments after, getting the rest of that horrid taste out my mouth, there was a lady in filthy clothes on my couch facing the TV, "who the hell are you" I asked, she turn to face me "I am grandma" she said.

"Come here Aubrey" my grandma asked, I walked and sat next to her, "I'm not a hold back kind of person, I know there's supernatural in beacon hills, I that your friends are the supernatural, and your enemies are the supernatural" she told me "I think your delusional" I played it off "no, you think I'm going to run and tell the world, well that's not going to happen or I might end up in Eichen" she said "how about you do your laundry" I said "I never wash my clothes" she said "should I ask or is the story going to be what you smell like, bullshit" I asked.

"I'm a bean nighe, also known as washerwoman, bean nighe are chosen spirits that wash the grave clothes of people who are about to die, I died when giving birth to my first child, but I died under the Nemeton in Italy, it gave me power and it gave me choose, I had to kill twelve people" she told me "I met a lady who tried that, and I blew her head off" I threatened her she laughed in my face "not innocent people, I'm not a dumb Druid, I killed twelve murderers and they it let me take the form of a human, but if I did it, I would have to be a living bean nighe, and that's what I do, that's why I don't wash my clothes" she told me "there's people dying right now, why are you here and not laundry mat" I asked "I only was the clothes of people who are close by" she said.

My phone started to ring "get to Scott's house, like now" Allison said then hung up, I stood up and put my Nike's on, I placed my hand on the knob "streams" my grandma mumbled "what" I asked "we wash clothes in holy streams, not laundry mats" she said louder.

I walked out the house to see my mom sitting in her car, she walked out of it and walked up to me and out her hand on my shoulder "do you want to know why I named you Aubrey" she asked "why" I asked, time to hear another family story "because on the periodic table Au is gold now stop acting like Pu and go back in that house to change out of your pajamas" she scolded me "you know what mom, fuck off, I can't wait till I get the hell out of school, so that I can find my own place and get far away from you" I stood up to her, I got into my car and sped out.

I ran into Scott's house, I seen Stiles on the couch with his mouth taped, Peter Hale, Deaton, Melissa, and the others were here.

"He's paralyzed" Scott told me, Stiles looked at me, I can tell he was smiling through the tape, not a sunshine smile, but like his plan is still intact, I saw Peter and Lydia whispering in the corner, Peter looked angry, I took a step closer hoping they didn't notice and focused my hearing on them "I help you and you help me, that's how this goes" Peter made a deal with her.

"Alright so, Scott you guys are going to stick your claws into the back of Stiles' and Lydia's neck, that's going to take you to his mind, and you find him" Peter directed them.

I must've made a disgusted face because Peter cocked an eyebrow at me and said "unless pink eyes has something better-".

"Um, no, I was just thinking, it can take hours to find Stiles in his mind, there are many different passage ways, and they may even get stuck in there own nightmares or in obstacles the nogitsune set up" I stated "and you know this how, unless you've been in someone's mind before" Peter asked me "no, I was just inferencing based on stuff I've read, movies, things like that" I tried to explain "movies" Peter asked "sometimes fictional movies have a real meaning that people don't usually get" I explained.

"You know what I don't get, how a pretty rich girl moves to a town like beacon hills, and within two days finds out about supernatural and is totally okay with it, and then her eyes glow, is there anything we should know, anything that your hiding" Peter verbally attacked me "Peter leave her alone, we have something bigger happening" Lydia defended me.

Scott's claws came out and he stuck one hand in Stiles and one in Lydia.

We sat in living room "Deaton why did you become an animal Doctor" I asked "I like animals" he said, his serious voice is kind of funny.

I stood up and walked into the kitchen to wait, I don't like just sitting in one spot to wait it aggravates me especially when I don't know how long I'm waiting.

Peter followed me in the kitchen "what are you hiding" Peter asked "I know you have this sudden hate for me but I literally just found out I was special" I told him "no, it's just strange because you've weaseled yourself with my nephew, with this group of kids, like very thing just perfectly fell in place with you, you beat up an alpha, beat an oni, it's like nothing surprises you" he asked "alright fine, my family is supernatural but I didn't find out until today, and when I did those things it just never came to mind, everything I do I don't think it out, it just happens, and I've been letting everything just happen and the seconds I can stop and breathe I think about it, and it scares me but they are my friends so I forget about fear" I explained to him "what do mean forget about fear, last time I checked you were fear" he told me, he was there when I was speaking with the nogitsune/Stiles.

His claws came out "how about you confess to everyone what you and your family are really doing in beacon hills" he asked "I already told you, I don't know, but if your going to continue to harass me you better turn that threat into actions" a voice spoke for me, "there it is" Peter said, he pinned me against the refrigerator, I grabbed him by his neck and lifted him in the air watching his face turn red as he choked.

STOP

With my other hand I grabbed his and ran his claws across my chest right under my neck, I let go of his neck and screamed, Deaton and Melissa came in "Peter" Deaton yelled, I held my chest in pain and dropped to the floor crying, Melissa came it me "it's okay Aubrey, it's okay" Melissa told me "Deaton grabbed the peroxide in the bathroom, Peter just get out" Melissa yelled, he was about to say something else but instead he walked out.

Melissa stitched up the claw mark and gave me one of her shirts because mine was covered in blood "why would he claw you" Deaton asked "I don't know, he was so convinced that I was trying to kill you guys, he said something like, what are you really here for and stuff like that, then I pushed him and he just-" I took a pause "I think he was aiming for my neck" I said "he wanted to kill her" Melissa said "let's just be glad that they aren't deep" Deaton told me.

Their eyes open, Stiles ripped the tape off of his mouth and dropped to the floor pulling our a long strand of dirty gauze wrapping, until it was in a sizable pile on the ground, there was black smoke that came and a hand reached out of the pile, until the nogitsune was fully out.

Scott and I held the nogitsune down. Scott stopped, and unwrapped the face revealing Stiles, I looked up to see the other Stiles gone.

And so was Lydia.
