Pack of Two

Honestly speaking, the movie wasn't even that scary but just for the sake of Jodie's dignity, I screamed louder than her in all the parts where she screamed. To say that I have a sore throat is an understatement. I can't speak now. Tots worth the screaming and laughing at Jodie moments. Knock knock. "Hello? Anyone in here? There's been reports of screams coming from this house and I'm here to check it out. I'm Officer Andy Raves and I'm with the Sheriff's department." Oh my god! I've been screaming my head off that I've alerted the police. Awesome!

"Bakes ,go and answer the door please? I can't really talk just yet.." I rasp out and she just laughs at me. I shoot her a glare and she zips her mouth, letting out occasional giggles. After finally containing her laughter, she goes to deal with the officer. I hear her talking and I stand up, taking in a breath and stretching. I switch off the movie and head up to my room.  I switch on the light and flop onto my comfy bed. I nuzzle into my pillows and sigh when I smell a familiar scent. The scent of Home. Which reminds me of my second home. The pack. I miss them but they made the decision together to kick me out. Well, assumed that all of them decided to kick me out.. Well shit. I didn't even bother to think if the pack, excluding Peter and Derek, ever wanted me out. This could've been another of Derek's random decisions . He tends to do this. A lot. Well, if anything, there's school and I can just confront them there.

I nod to myself,satisfied at my decision and flip over onto my back, staring at the ceiling . Now to more pressing matters.. Life of an FBI after Senior year.. I sigh, I haven't gotten it all planned out yet but I have the bare essentials of what I need to live and survive on my own. I've even included my own little special Supernatural kit just incase there's supernatural cases at the FBI. I snort, there's probably a lot of supernatural cases at the FBI. Derek's probably the most wanted guy on their Hit-list. I groan and rub at my face. I shouldn't even be thinking about him. Why can't I just fall asleep like a normal human? Instead I've got insomnia and ADHD. Great, just great. I roll over into my side and I close my eyes. Unwanted tears start to appear behind closed eyelids as I think about everything that's happened in my life.  It should've been me to die. Not all those innocent people I've killed .. and for what? For fun? I can't believe I was too weak to fight off the Nogitsune — no, not Nogitsune; Void. I think bitterly and bite my lip. A knock brings me out of my depressed state and I flip , facing the doorway. "You ok there Stiles? I heard sniffles and I wanted to check if you were ok.." Jodie trails off and she wrings her hands together, obviously unsure whether to comfort me or to leave me alone. I sigh and sit up , opening up my arms. "I-I'm not ok Jodie," I sigh as I quickly wipe away stray tears, " never have been for a couple of months. Got worse since my friends –or pack, as you call them– told me to get lost. Do you know the guy who used to terrorise Beacon Hills? That was me. I got possessed by a spirit and my friends tried to exorcise it out of me. I was too weak and in the end many innocents died..because I couldn't fight back. Trapped in my own mind. It's all my fault!" I sob into my hands and I hear scuffling before arms are placed around me. Jodie makes cooing noises while she rubs at my back.

"Stiles Stilinski! None of that was ever your fault! It may have looked like you but it wasn't you ." She emphasises as she squeezes me tighter in her arms. I think about what she said. She's got a point but I still can't help feeling responsible for all of the deaths caused, all of the lives that I've ruined or taken away.  I finally hug her back. I needed this, this skin to skin contact. I've been so deprived of it these days . I think to myself as I pull her closer to me. I was so alone all these months and nobody noticed. I cry, letting out ugly sobs for finally being noticed. "Let it all out Stiles. Get it out of your system Honey and we'll be as good as new. We can even start our own pack— a pack of two! Pack members : You and me! We'll be the greatest pack of two the supernatural world has ever seen!" She whispers into my ear and I can't help but laugh. It comes out naturally and it surprises me but I don't stop. I just laugh and let it all out. Occasionally stopping to cry. Once I'm done with my little breakdown, I can't help but feel extremely exhausted.

"Sorry Bakes but can we go to sleep now? I'm extremely exhausted from letting out all of my bottled feelings and honestly —the floor kinda looks comfy right now.."

Jodie laughs her adorable laugh with her cute face crinkling at the corners as she laughs. "I actually am really tired too. All that screaming and trying to explain why we were screaming to Officer Panic!AtTheDisco— I mean Officer Raves really took the fight outa me. Let's cuddle; you wanna be the big spoon or the small spoon?" She asks with an all too innocent look and I'm pretty sure I'm the small spoon. I roll my eyes at her and just lay on my side, hugging my pillow and facing the window. God knows I can't sleep without my pillow. I make myself comfortable before motioning for her to get closer. Jodie immediately dives for my back and snuggles it, latching onto me like an octopus. She slings a leg over my hips and pulls me back by my shoulders. I sigh and just move impossibly closer to her. I haven't felt this safe in..years? Man, that really puts things into perspective. If all this time I've slept feeling unsafe and vulnerable , how I have I even gotten  a good nights sleep? Shit, now I'm overthinking things and can't sleep. "Go to sleep Stilinski! For gods sake, stop overthinking and cuddle me. I'm pretty sure I can smell the fire on your brain cells from all your overthinking.." Jodie mumbles into my shoulder and I shiver from the feel of her lips on my shoulder.

"Sorry bout that, and could you rub my back? My mom used to do it back when I couldn't sleep and usually I'd fall asleep in seconds.." she sighs but nods against me.

"Feeling better now?" I sigh and nod my head. She continues doing circles around my back and find myself being slowly lulled to sleep. The lasts thing I hear is a bunch of growls before all I'm greeted is with darkness.

—•—•—•—•—•—•—•—•—•—•—•—•—•—•—

No no no no no no no! This can't  be happening!

Derek growls to himself as he watches Stiles be comforted by someone other than him. A Supernatural one at that. He can feel himself transforming into his beta shape. All self control is busy trying to hold back his Alpha shape and his wolf form. He can feel his eyes flashing as he claws at the rooftop tiles beneath him. The others are no better as they try to regain some control over themselves. Scott is breathing heavily as if he's got asthma all over again, clutching at his chest. Peter is trying not to turn into his wolf form and just go savage onto that person. His grip on the tiles are crushingly strong and the tiles cracks. Jackson is back on the ground and is busy clawing at trees far from the Stilinski household. Issac is busy whimpering to himself and is scratching at the window. Hoping that somehow it'll be alright and Stiles will take them back once he wakes up. Despite all of the noise outside the window, Stiles doesn't wake up but the other person does.

They stretch and look around, as if confused for only a second before remembering where they are. They sit up and stretch again but only to stop midway when their eyes land the struggling werewolves outside Stiles window. They get up and walk to it. Everything stops and it's only them moving as the werewolves follow their every movement. They step into the moonlight and they growl at seeing the smug smirk on the person's face. They open the window and lean on it. "Let me guess..you're here for Stiles?"

"Yes" Derek replies.

"Sorry to say this but he's mine. You had your chance before you kicked him away. Now's my turn. It's not official yet but we're pack. It's gonna stay that way for however long he wants to be a pack with me. Unlike you, I'm not gonna force him to quit the pack. If he wants to, he'll quit by himself." She says picking at her nails.

"We're gonna win him back! Just you see!" Peter growls out between grinded teeth. His eyes flash blue and the lady falters for a second but it gives them hope that she'll back away from what's theirs.

"Sorry, no can do dude. As I've said and repeated myself, he's mine . BTW FYI — my name is Jodie, Jodie Bakes." She lifts a hand out and looks expectedly at them. Jackson just looks at her suspiciously and swats her hand away, barring his canines.

"Shut it James Bond! Just back off Stiles, he's pack!" Scott shouts and he gets slapped upside the head by Issac , pointing furiously at Stiles' sleeping figure. He looks down , embarrassed. Jodie just shakes her head at the wolves. Typical males , she thinks as she rolls her eyes. "Last I recall McCall," Jodie spits out his name with so much venom that Scott flinches away, "Stiles told me you guys kicked him out of your pack. Oh and by his cluelessness about your possessive behaviour, I'm guessing he doesn't know about the supernatural. Besides me, Y'know? Cause he himself told me he didn't know any supernatural creatures besides me and his heart didn't blip. Didn't you know a good pack always has at least one human in it to balance out?" The blank look on their faces at the new information was all she needed. She smiled at them, "I look forward to your attempts at winning him over again boys. Now, I have to get back to cuddling my honey over there, goodbye and goodnight!" She beams at them and slams the window on their faces. Jodie quickly locks it and jumps back into her spot behind Stiles. He turns around and hugs her, smothering her to his chest.

She lifts her head slightly and gives them the finger before smiling sweetly at them. The outrage on their faces causes her to laugh at them, Stiles stirring before she rubs at his back and whispers something into his ear before he fell back into a deep sleep.

—•—•—•—•—•—•—•—•—•—•—•—•—•—•—•—

"Oh My gOd," I yawn as I stretch. I open my eyes only to beheld with the most adorable sight ever. Jodie with lines all over her face from the pillows and a massive drool line from her mouth all the way down to her shirt, where there's a huge dark patch of drool. I laugh quietly and remove myself from her arms. I get up and walk over to her side and cover her up with the covers. She sighs and snuggles into my pillow and I have to resist the urge to take photos. I quickly grab some clothes and head for the shower.

I stay in the warm spray of water for a few minutes(maybe 10 minutes) and hop out, shivering at the contact of cold air. Quickly slipping on my clothes , I basically tiptoe run down out my room, down the hallway, down the stairs and into the kitchen. Entering the kitchen, I immediately fall on my butt. Damm, looks like we forgot to clean up the kitchen yesterday. I groan at the mess in front of me and start the cleaning process. There's butter and corn everywhere. Chocolate is somehow smeared onto the ceiling, the sink is overflowing with bowls and plates and other than that, the kitchen is somewhat clean.

After 20 minutes of me almost slipping due to butter puddles and almost dropping plates due to buttered fingers, I finally get everything clean. Only for me to take things  out, again ,to start cooking breakfast. How ironic of me to clean and keep things only for me to take it out and get it dirty again.. I sigh as I flip a pancake. I'm making blueberry pancakes with some fruits on the side along with orange juice. As I start to plate the food, I hear footsteps and immediately know it's Jodie by how light each thump is on the wood floor. She enters the kitchen and I assume she's sitting at the island counter behind me. Either that or she's doing something stupid.

"Looking dapper today Stilinski," Jodie wolf whistles at me and I feel my cheeks burning slightly at the compliment, "what's on the agenda today?"

"Well if you must know, I'm just trying something new." I tell her while I bring the food to the island. My outfit consists of a pick jacket, a lighter shade of pink vest, a dark purple bow tie with black jeans and my hair is slicked back. This is inspired by Bruno Mars in Uptown Funk. I just couldn't help myself. I just started think of it and BOOM! this is my new outfit.

"Cool cool cool cool..hey, a suggestion here : if you're going to school today dressed like that, can I match with you?"

"Sure ,I don't see why not. Let's drop by your house after this, kay?" Jodie just nods and we finish our food in silence. We clean up and head out, zooming by passing cars and park on the side walk to her house. I wait outside while she changes and knowing females, I decide to squeeze in a quick nap...I'm jerked awake by someone knocking on my window and it's a lady with colourful clothes. Wtf?? This has gotta be Jodie. I frown at the strange looking lady and roll down my window.

"What are you doing Stilinski? Open up the damm car! We have to show off our fabulous clothes before Hell starts!" She screams into my ear and I wince but smile. Typical Bakes . I unlock the passenger side of the car and she hops in. Checking the time, I see we have like 40 minutes of free time left before Hell starts. With Jodie buckled up and comfortable, we start zooming past screeching cars to our final destination.

We arrive at the schools' parking lot in a record timing of 5 minutes and that's honestly the only thing that I've accomplished and is very proud of considering it's a 15 minute drive there from Jodie's place.

"Jodie get out and try and see if you can get us a place to seat while I park, ok? Ok! Bye!" And with that I push a screaming Jodie out of my Jeep and onto the schools' lawn. The only reason why I was able to push her out is because when we were reaching, Jodie had already unbuckled and had the door open slightly. I let loose a maniacal laugh and park the car. Oh she's is going to be soo mad.. I snicker and make my way to the benches in front of the school. I stroll past students and staff and I can practically feel their burning gaze of curiosity on me. If they had laser beams coming from their eyes, I'd be dead by now. I grin and strut like the magnificent human I am towards my equally beautiful partner in crime. She has on a dark neon blue suit on that is basically the same as mine but just dark neon blue. Her hair is also slicked back and she has on purple glasses. Her green eyes sparkle with mischief. Mine are probably the same just much more..naughty.  I sit next to her and get ready for an earful.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT STILINSKI?! I SWEAR ON MY GRANDMA'S GRAVE THAT I, JODIE BAKES, WILL PERSONALLY MURDER YOU , MIECZYSLAW STILINSKI, WITH MY OWN BARE HANDS." Jodie yanks at my ears and I wince but nod slightly.

"Now that we got that done, I just have to say you look almost as good as me Bakes. Almost ."

"Aw, thank you Stilinski but honestly — if you ever throw me out of your Jeep while you're still driving again, I will kill you in your sleep."

"I love you too." I coo and she just sneers at me but there's no hard feelings behind it.. I think? Probably not. I just shrug and I make a face at her and she makes one back. But uglier if it's possible. We continue making faces at each other before I'm shocked by something vibrating. I pull out my phone and there's only a notification for an online video that's trending on YouTube. I roll my eyes at that. It's probably someone stupid doing something stupid to themselves. I scoff and keep my phone.

I look back at Jodie and I finally realize that she's been staring at me. I raise an eyebrow but since I haven't fully mastered the Hale Look yet, both my eyebrows were raised. "You need glasses."

What?

"Ok what the hell. That's so random."

"It's true! If we're going to match, you need glasses matching mine. Don't worry, the lenses are fake. You can take them out too, if you want." Jodie states as she fishes out a pair of red glasses from a case in her bag. I don't remember throwing a bag along with Jodie out of my Jeep earlier on.. At my questioning look, Jodie tells me that she used her powers to get a bag from home. Makes sense. I nod at her. She hands me the spectacles and I slip it on. She gives me a thumbs up and I smile. What a dork. "So, now that we've shown off our clothes, watchu wanna do now Stilinski?"

"I don't know. We could probably just walk around. Let's split up and try to find if there's anything supernatural going on."

"Cool beans Stilinski. I'll see you on the other side!" Jodie walks away just as I was about to say something along the lines of 'Who the hell says cool beans anymore?!' . I shake my head at her retreating figure and when I was sure that she was out of supernatural earshot, I made my way to the pack table. I plopped down in between Jackson and Issac and prop my head up with an arm. "So..were you guys all in favor of letting Derek kick me out of the pack or what? If not then we can still hang as per usual but I don't think it'd be the same since I won't be spending as much time with you guys cause I got kicked out and also won't be at pack meetings — and I'm rambling again." I shake my head clear of any distracting thoughts and just look expectedly at the pack. They avoid eye contact with me and no one is bothering to answer my question. Were they all in favor for getting me kicked out? I wait for about minute or two but it seems like no ones gonna answer me any time soon.

"Ok, y'know what. I didn't know what I was expecting when I came over here. I guess it was for answers and your silence and avoiding of any eye contact with me is not doing anything good. I guess y'all got tired of me, huh. Didn't think that'd happen but after all that we've been through, I should've expected this..Bye guys and Scotty? Tell Melissa I said hi." I sigh and fight off the tears threatening to spill. I quickly wipe away the tears that are threatening to fall and walk into the school. Time to see if Beacon Hills has attracted anything.. I sulk as I skulk around the empty hallways and classrooms. Man, if I didn't know any better , I'd think everyone died cause of how creepy the schools atmosphere is right now. I shudder and turn around immediately when I sense pairs of eyes on me. Pretty sure eyes as in plural, meaning more than one. I pick up the pace and walk, dodging around corners and in and out of rooms. I don't hear footsteps but I'm pretty sure I'm being followed. I jump around when I feel someone breathing on my neck but there's no one behind me. I growl when I feel someone ,or something , tug onto my jacket and throw me onto the floor. I whip my head around, trying to catch any sounds but just like earlier on, I'm met with nothing.

That is, until I start hearing whispers. Coming from the second story of the school. I warily make my way up and curse myself for not getting my bat first. Seeing as it's too late to turn back now, i trudged on forwards towards a  room. Looks like an office or something. The whispers stop once I enter the room and the door slams shut behind me. "Hey hey hey! What the hell?! Open up you stupid door! Let me the fuck out!" I yell pounding on the door but it doesn't even budge. Not moving still even when I threw my body.

"Stiles.."

I feel the dread in my stomach build up and I feel overwhelmed like I'm going to throw up. I can feel a panic attack build up but I manage to control it. "Hello Stiles..missed me?" He chuckles and I feel like I want to cry. I can't go through it again! I won't! I yell in my head as I grab at my shirt, my breathing becoming shaky as I start panicking .

"Go a-away! Le-leave me a-lone!"

"Don't worry Stiles, I'm just here to help you become yourself.." he hisses and my breathing becomes erratic. I grab at my shirt tighter and squeeze my eyes shut. No no no no ! He can't be here! He's supposed to be gone! I sob as I grab at my head, feeling a pounding headache coming on. Great, just what I need. A headache during a panic attack. I think as I take deep shaky breaths.

"No! Leave me a-alone! P-please.." I plead as I hear his feet scuffling across the tile flooring towards me, and I start crying harder.

"Open your eyes Stiles.." he hisses and for some stupid reason, I do as he says. In front of me, crouching, is void Stiles. The Nogitsune. My breathing hitches as he grabs at my shoulder and I can't help but flinch away from his touch. I look away from his hand and risk a peek at his face, feeling myself get confused when I see him frowning. "I'm sorry Stiles." He whispers in his raspy voice and I'm pretty sure I'm going crazy– again.

"W-what?"

"I'm sorry for causing you such pain. After you, I've been bothering other Fox spirits and I no longer go after humans anymore. Well maybe once in a while but that's not the point! The point is, that I'm hear to help you through your new powerss because......." the nogitsune mumbles the last part and I feel the urge to suddenly make him angry. I feel a smile spread on my face and cautiously poke him on the shoulder. "Because what? I'm sorry , I didn't hear that last part cause you were busy mumbling. Speak up!" I raise my voice and I see him glaring at me but I just grin smugly at him. He just rolls his eyes at me.

"I just wanted to say that I felt guilty after all that I've put you through but honestly, I think you're scarier than me. I've seen the things running through your head kid and believe me, this coming from a spirit of Chaos,Strife and Pain, you're messed up Mischief."

"Did you just call me mischief?"

"Yea, I figured that since you're naughty and can get yourself in trouble by yourself, I'm calling you Mischief. That or Loki, either one."

"For fucks sake! Now I have to give you a name now! Ugh. Imma just call you..Void?" Void just nods his approval and I let of a sigh of relief. At least we've now established the start of a friendship. Speaking of establishing things..
I look thoughtfully at Void. Maybe he can be of some use to me..

"Now, not to forget why you cornered me here in an empty room, what say we make a deal when I accept your help." I stick a hand out and grin at Void. He just gulps but shakes it and I'm pretty sure this is the start of a beautiful friendship. At least I think it is.
