Its been a few days since Lydia's party and my relationship with Alli has progressed a bit and even her mother came over for tea a few days back. It's safe to say Mr. Belserion is and always will be a lady killer.
I've also spent some time searching for Malia. Ive spent a few hours a day looking for her den but unfortunately i havent gotten lucky. This forest is actually huge. Even now I'm still trudging through leaves and branches looking for this fucking coyote.. The sun is quickly vanishing when i feel someone lurk from behind a tree.
"Are you going to stand there all night or are you gonna make me make you get from behind that tree Beta."
I turn around to see a bewildered Scott coming from behind his tree. "You know?" He asked.
Its not like you hide it very well but i just nod at him before asking what he wanted.
"I need your help."
"Oh my help specifically? What makes you think i can or will help you Scott. You're the one with fangs and claws what can i do?" He looks shocked for a second before he opens his mouth but can't reallly say anything. I smile a smug grin when i feel someone else try to take my back. "Are we really playing this game tonight Hale?"
Derek steps out the woods with his hands up before he proceeds to ask for my help as well.
"Okay ill bite whats so important that even the famous Derek Hale lowers his pride to ask for help."
"There's a new Alpha in Beacon Hills, he already"
"Yes im aware, he bit scott, killed those 4 people attacked you but thats not why youre here."
Scott looks lost while Derek smirks a bit before returning to his solemn look and says "I think he killed Laura, when the fire happened i didnt want to ask for your help but please can you take a look over the scene and see of you can find anything. Ill owe you one."
I stop and think for a second and think it over. A favour from Derek Hale would be worth a lot. Plus i don't feel like having Peter around to keep plotting, so i make a decision.
"Fine, ill kee that favour in mind. Your name as a Hale carries a lot of weight, don't forget that Derek." He gives me a determined nod as we walk near his old house and find Stiles and Tracy sitting on the steps waiting anxiously.
"Ezra? Derek i thought you said you were getting someone who could tell us more?" As expected of the son of a police chief, straight to interrogations. I ignore him and look at Tracy, we had dated for almost 2 years before breaking up due to how close i was with Lydia.
I ignore her presence and directly asks Derek "what do you need to know."
"What all happened here that night and why is Laura not only dead but in half buried in wolfsbane. " he responded.
"Oh my thats a tall order for ome favor." I tease him as my eyes start glowing scaring the three Supernatural noobs.
"Green? I thought The colours were Red gold or blue" asked Stiles.
"Only for Werewolves Mieczyslaw." He seems dumbfounded by my knowing his name. He asks me how and i respond "Magic." I begin to look at the house walking around it in a circle taking a quick stop at the half corpse of Laura Hale. Latom.
"Your house was built on a ley line? Nemeton?" i ask Derek. His house was made in such a spot that wolves born here would always be naturally stronger than others of their level. He responds with a nod as i finish my walk and stop and look at him.
I create some golden scripts purely for style and have them circle around the house before flying back into my body. "The house was burned down there was 5 people here, based on the insignia i think it to be Kate Argent and her boys. Laura knew of that but didnt want to pursue it cuz she didnt want you caught up in a war. As for who currently has her spark. Peter Hale." I say as my eyes finally dim down.
"Thats impossible Peters in a burn coma. we've already seen him." - Stiles
"Look guy its late enough i spent the whole day fucking around through these woods im pissed, do you need anything else Derek. Argents burned your house specifically Kate. Peter killed Laura. Those are your answers and remember you owe me."
"Thank you, I promise you my word is true. Whenever you need that favour call it in."
With that i left them sitting there dazed as i head home. I refuse to stick around and get myself involved with this petty family squabble. I start to head home but i change directions mid walk until i ended up in front of The Argent House.
I didn't come to see them but instead I needed to protect their house. With Peter exposed he might move up his revenge on the Argents and with Allison spending all her free time with me, Lydia and Erica her home still had no magical defenses.
So thats what I did. Spending the next hour and a half layering their house with enchantments to ward off werewolves and other carnivorous predators. I had to go slowly to not awaken anyone and I had to be quiet to not let their neighbors spot me.
Looking back at the house I was pretty glad with what I had accomplished. This house would need at least a level 4 dragon slayer magic to disrupt it and seeing how the Belserion mage line is the only one capable of dragon slaying magic I would say they're safe. Well at least until Jennifer showed up but cross that bridge when we get there.
I mentally pat myself on the back admiring my handiwork failing to see the glowing blue eyes watching me from down the street as she finally turned around heading back deep into Beacon Woods to return to her den.
