Transitioning Into The Unknown [Book 2]

A Weird One

But now that he's hanging out with Klaus and he's all on board with the plan to kill Elena. And he started hanging out with Damon. And that Peter guy doesn't seem so goody-two-shoes either. He's just hanging out with the wrong people. In her mind, she believes that Stiles can be fixed. She thinks he can be saved. And she's going to save him whether he wants it or not.

Tyler was out of the loop. He obviously didn't trust Klaus in any form. He understood he was dangerous and a killer. But then he wasn't sure entirely because Stiles his cousin, who was smart if his test grades where any indicator, he was hanging out with Klaus and acting all buddy-buddy with him. Did that mean Klaus compelled him? But then Damon said that he was immune or taking Vervain. And if that's the case, then none of this makes sense.

Tyler isn't exactly trusting of Klaus, but he isn't exactly out for murder like the rest of them are. He wants to trust his cousin's opinion. He wants to believe his cousin isn't an evil person. He truly wants to believe that, but as the ritual grows closer, he doesn't know what to think. He doesn't really want to be involved either. He knows they need to sacrifice a wolf, and he doesn't want it to be him. His uncle died already, so he doesn't really know who else would be to sacrifice other than himself? All he knows is he is staying clear of Klaus and all of this ritual business. He doesn't want to die yet.

The witches that work for Klaus have been doing work. Unlike Klaus, who has been frolicking around and playing with Stiles and Peter. They got down to business, and they were preparing for the ritual. One witch in particular, who is completely in love with Klaus and is doing everything of her own free will. The woman who is betraying her family for the little affection that Klaus shows. She's getting work done, she's doing everything so that maybe Klaus will give her praise. The ritual working and turning out well will be on her. She's been preparing for months; she can do this.

She's already found all the perfect sacrifices needed. All she has to do is send out Klaus' minions to collect them. A wolf, a vampire, and a doppelganger. And the Moonstone, which is in Klaus' possession. Those idiots foolishly lost it. Well, more like handed it to the wrong person. And now it's in her hands one day away from the ritual. Almost everything is in place. She was expecting Klaus to come back around now, but he is still yet to be seen. She can't wait to see him. She can't wait to see him as himself fully evolved into the hybrid he should be.

Stiles having just woke up from his headache. Has figured out why the headaches keep coming. He should have figured it out earlier, but his head just hurt too much. The pain wasn't helping when his brain needed to work. It's quite simple really, inside of Stiles' conscious there are three beings. A wolf, a fox, and Stiles. Three opposing forces sitting there. Of course, they're all parts of Stiles' mind. There's not exactly three different entities in his brain. But since they're not connected so fully yet, they each have their own string of thoughts. Since Stiles was a born wolf, even if he didn't know it, the wolf in him is more connected to his actual self. It's why the wolf doesn't talk. The fox, however, came from somewhere else. It's not natural. Nor should it have ever been. Since the fox is a one-of-a-kind event, it can't merge with his wolf. And in turn, it can't fully merge with Stiles himself.

So the headaches are when the fox is trying to surface. It's not trying to take over, but Stiles isn't really the safest person, and he gets hurt a lot. And he gets knocked unconscious quite a lot. And when he's unconscious, the fox isn't. No, the fox has the ability to then come to the surface. So Stiles can't really ever get knocked out completely or for long. But when the fox surfaces it's not really human either. It's new and unique, and it's something you really can't grasp with one look at it. Stiles is a one-of-a-kind hybrid that will probably never happen again, just as Klaus is.

Even though he's come to this understanding of his own headaches and of his own little fox. There's still so much to uncover. Especially with the shape-shifting and the immunity to compulsion. Powers, he has yet to discover. Even though he grasps the concept, he hasn't even touched the tip of the iceberg with his Supernatural prowess as a Kitsune.

Peter had just returned from Beacon Hills in tow with Stiles's Jeep and a headache after all this bullshit happening on his return. He needed to set up some bank accounts and reorganize what was left of his money. He makes it just in time before the ritual. It's the day before a full moon, and he's getting antsy, but he's in complete control. Well, never complete control, but he's got it down. He isn't really be concerned with the ritual all that much if Stiles wasn't involved. He honestly couldn't care less for the people in this town or for the girl that's going to be sacrificed. It's not really his problem.

Until it is when Stiles offers his help because he is such a nice person. And as unwaveringly loyal as Stiles is, he kind of hates that Stiles chose to be loyal to Klaus because it's just giving them more and more trouble. But he can see the appeal of Klaus' power as an asset or even an ally in certain cases. But he's just worried over the fact that after the ritual is over and he gets his powers back. When Stiles reveals who he truly is to Klaus, what's to stop him from killing Stiles or even worse trying to control him. He's just nervous and not really keen on bringing Klaus into the fold. But you can't really change Stiles as mind at this point. So he's just going to go with the flow, and I hope everything turns out for the better, but whenever it's concerning him and Stiles, nothing ever goes to plan.

For Klaus, everything was going to plan. Well, minus a few minor details. The unexpected enigma that was Stiles changed some things in his plans, but everything was working out in his favor. So rather than bad luck, the kid could be his good luck charm. Everything was going smoothly. And to top it all off, he got Katherine right where he wants her chained up and in his control. Nifty little cage that Stiles has. And as much as Peter was indifferent to him, he still followed along as long as Stiles was in the loop. The two unexpected allies, for however long that lasts.

The kid's unwavering loyalty was shocking and different. Kind of like a breath of fresh air. But innocent. It wasn't unwelcomed but it was hard to accept since it rarely ever happened. Everything was in place, he had his wolf picked out, he had his vampire picked out, and he had his doppelganger who he'd assumed was going to show up in front of him sometime before the ritual. All of them self-sacrificing. And he wasn't going to kill her. He double-checked what Stiles had shown him as the flaw in the ritual. And it all checked out. The kid was a genius. He found a spell that would save her life without turning her into a vampire.

It was in his mother's old grimoire. He was going to have his witch perform it. No, he didn't necessarily decide to tell her the after-effects on the spell. It didn't matter. She did say she loved him and would do anything . So he might as well take advantage of that. It's not like he can't find other witches.

Notes:

This chapter came to fruition because I got a comment about what was happening in Mystic Falls and how was the ritual actually going to go down all this information that I was missing. And it made me think about what I was doing with this stupid thing and I decided to give a little extra chapter before the ritual so that I could explain some things.

A Rant: My family is overall just screwing me over at every step of the way. So I'm upset and depressed. My grandma went to the hospital and while she was there I had someone, namely my aunt scream at me telling me I was a useless person because I don't know what's going on with my grandma when that bitch called me to ask what was going on, some people. Like I was taking care of my grandma alone for weeks and no one asked how I was doing then, no one thanked me. Then my grandma came home, thank god, and now my mother who was supposed to do something but forgot is complaining and telling me to drop everything to run and do it for her. She told me six hours ago but I told her I was doing homework and taking a test so I can't do it at the moment and now once I finished everything she screams at me and curses me out for not doing it. Well, guess whos not doing it now. I'm not gonna stand to be treated like that. I don't let my mother guilt me into doing things anymore, cause she has to learn that's wrong. And if I suffer the consequences so be it. It's my life. Sorry for the rant. She just texted me and it really upset me.
