Chapter Text
The night is cold and quiet. The moon is covered by thick clouds and there is no breeze blowing through the trees, not even the sound of animals in the night. Stiles isn’t sure what woke him perhaps the lack of noise. For a moment everything is silent the only thing he can hear is the sound of his heart pounding in his ears. Then with his next breath he can hear the sound of his dads panicked voice.
“No. You can’t just take him”
A quiet but forceful voice replies, “John, you knew this day was coming.”
“I don’t care. You are not taking my son.”
Stiles can hear his dad pacing in the kitchen and then the sound of his window being silently opened. His mind starts racing and the panic is about to set in when he realizes only one person would dare climb through his bedroom window at this time of night. Silently Derek lowers himself into the room eyes glowing red searching for Stiles in the dark. Stiles moves from his bed to Derek’s side.
“Derek? What’s going on? Why are you here? Are you hurt?”
Derek shakes his head and moves to position Stiles behind him, “Your dad texted.” Before Stiles has a chance to respond the top step creaks, a warning that someone is coming. Derek lets out a low warning growl and grabs Stiles wrist.
Suddenly his bedroom door is being flung open, and a short darker haired girl appears out of a cloud of glitter. She looks magnificent in a terrifying kind of way. She sparkles from head to toe in glitter and the wings on her back keep fluttering sending more glitter flying. It looked like someone had thrown a glitter bomb at her. Even her eyes seemed to shimmer an iridescent lavender.
The girl claps her hands together in glee showering more glitter into the air, "Oh, how exciting a real life werewolf. I’ve never met one before!” She sighs, “I wish we had more time handsome, but I need Mieczyslaw to come with me.”
She is like a little hyperactive ball of glitter, bouncing from one foot to another.
“How do you know my name” His heart starts to beat faster, no one other than Scott and his dad know his name.
Derek’s grip on his wrist tightens. He shifts so Stiles is closer to the window. Glitter girl smiles, and it is slightly terrifying. All of her teeth are pointed and look razor sharp.
Now Stiles is full blown panicking. There is no where to go. Jumping out the window is not an option, and the only way out is past glitter girl and that seems like a very bad idea going by the way Derek hasn’t stopped growling since she entered the room.
“Oh come on grumpy, I’m not here to hurt Mieczyslaw.”
Before he can even blink glitter girls moves forward and with a snap of her fingers Derek and Stiles are suddenly standing at the bottom of the stairs.
Stiles feels his stomach roll over and just manages to not puke, when Derek has him crowded against the wall. From over Derek’s shoulder he can see his dad standing with an even more terrifying looking sparkly girl. No girl isn’t the right word. She is taller than the girl from upstairs. Her long dark hair is covered in flowers and a crown that looks to be made of twigs and green leaves sits atop her head. She simmers in the low light and appears to be almost translucent. She looks at Stiles and he feels a shiver run down his spine. He can feel the power flowing off of her from across the room.
Glitter girl steps forward and bows, “Your majesty, I present to you Mieczyslaw Stilinski.”
Her majesty? This is getting out of hand.
Stiles pushes against Derek's arm to try and move him forward. Derek growls and pushes him back against the wall. John moves a step out of the kitchen.
Stiles looks towards his dad, “Dad? What’s going on?” John looks from the glitter girl to miss flower crown and shakes his head.
Her Majesty moves forward, “Hello Mieczyslaw, I am the Fairy Queen Elvina.”
Stiles jaw drops. Queen? She is a queen. A Fairy Queen. He didn’t even know fairies were a real thing let alone had a queen.
The Queens moves a step closer and Stiles can feel Derek practically vibrating and can see his claws slipping out. The Queen glances at Derek and smiles. “Hush now wolf, I mean no harm to your mate.”
Mate? Okay Stiles has had enough. First he is being dragged out of bed at an ungodly hour, then a glitter fairy is busting his door down and blowing glitter all over his room. Then said fairy is magically transporting him without his permission and then there is a Fairy Queen in his kitchen. This has to be some kind of messed up dream.
Glitter fairy snorts out a laugh, “I can assure you Mieczyslaw this is not a dream. My name is Radella, not glitter fairy! Although I do kind of like that!”
Whoops, he hadn’t realized he was talking out loud. “Ok, first can we stop with the Mieczyslaw. My name is Stiles. Second, if this isn’t a dream then why are you in my house?”
Radella smiles and the Queen moves to take a seat at the kitchen table, motioning for Stiles to join her. “Please, come join me. I can assure you I mean no harm to you, your father, or your wolf.”
Choosing to ignore that she called Derek his wolf, Stiles lays a hand against Derek's back. He is tense and unmoving. He shifts slightly to see Stiles while keeping both the queen and Radella in his line of sight.
Stiles shakes Derek’s arm slightly, “Derek?”
He takes ahold of Stiles wrist and gives a low grumble, “I don’t like this.”
Stiles gives him a small smiles and shakes his head, “I don’t either but I want answers.” He looks to his father who hasn’t moved for the kitchen doorway. He nods his head towards Stiles and Derek, then the boys move as one to join the Fairy Queen at the kitchen table.
Stiles pulls his chair away from the table and sits. Derek stands to his right while John moves to his left. He can feel his dad place a hand on his shoulder. It is a reassuring weight that calms Stiles.
Stiles turns and faces the queen, “You may be the Fairy Queen, but this is still my house and I would like some answers.”
The Queen nods.
Stiles shifts slightly in his seat then looks into the queen's purple eyes, “Why are you here?”
