Chapter Text
Stiles’ POV
Sometimes I'm glad to be human, but there are other times when I wish I could be a little more than human since it would really help out with all we end up dealing with. I like being human though, less trouble at the full moon or when meeting new people. Even though I'm human it doesn’t seem to stop me from getting involved in all kinds of supernatural drama and problems that I then almost die while just trying to help my friends.
There is a current lull in supernatural drama in Beacon Hills right now that I am glad for, and I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. It’s good for the moment because nothing is trying to kill us, but it’s a bad thing because there could be something that wants to kill us, but is just taking its sweet time to show itself. And when I say us, I mean the local supernatural community, which I am not actually part of anymore as of yesterday.
I got a call from Lydia yesterday, and I learned from her, that Derek and Scott had decided that I wasn’t a true part of the pack since I was only human and because of that, I was no longer part of the pack. I have helped them with each and every problem they have faced, and I'm the one that figured out Scott was a werewolf in the first place and helped him figure out how to control it and himself. But since I was human and didn’t really want to be turned since you know, it could not take and kill me, the only thing to do was kick me out of the pack.
And just like that I had lost all of my friends in one afternoon, and with no one to call or go talk to I may have called up a vampire. I didn’t mean to, not really, I just needed someone to talk to that could understand, someone that was my friend. I didn’t call them because they were a vampire. So I called Kol Mikaelson.
I know now, that calling any supernatural being about this, particularly Kol, was probably not the smartest thing to do, since he isn’t the most rational or self controlled out of the Mikaelson siblings, but he is a good friend. I met him and his siblings when I was in New Orleans last summer partially relaxing and having a good time, but mostly looking more into the other world of the supernatural. Most of them were annoyed by me at first, but then again who isn’t I talk like a mile a minute. But, by the time the summer ended I didn’t actually really want to go back to Beacon Hills and I was friends with a family of the most powerful and dangerous vampires in the world. Just another day in the life of Stiles, one idiotic mistake and decision after another leading to me being one of the only people, let alone human, able to annoy any of the Mikaelson’s and not be ripped apart or whatever they do to people that annoy them.
Anyway, its a quiet day and I’m trying to decide if going to get a burger and curly fries is the right move to make, when there is a knock at the front door. That in itself is worrying, since no one ever really knocks, since no one really visits especially when my dad is at work with is like, always. Being the Sheriff means a lot of shit falls into his lap that he has to deal with, especially since he is one of the two members of local law enforcement that knows about the supernatural and can help with those cases. The other being Parrish, but he is a Hellhound so that is a bit different.
As soon as I open the door I instantly wish for a time machine. Kol and Rebekah Mikaelson are standing on the front porch smiling at me in a way that is supposed to be friendly, but seems a bit of a mix of a joking smirk and a smile.
“Are you going to invite us in love?” Rebekah asks, sounding far too cheerful while Kol is standing next to her grinning like a loon, but thankfully he doesn’t look like he is going to slaughter a small town at this moment. I mean, I live in Beacon Hills, and Beacon Hills is a small town. The closest one to us right now and I doth want Kol running around killing everyone because he is feeling angry, bored and wants excitement.
“Um uh, maybe? I mean, yes. Wait no, why are you guys here? Has something happened to one of your other brothers? Is everyone alright?” Both Kol and Rebekah smile and start laughing and I have to take a breath, shifting slightly from foot to foot still in the doorway while they remain on the porch.
“You know, it would be a lot easier and more comfortable for us to answer your many questions, if you invited us in.” Kol is smirking, and even though I know that inviting a vampire into your home has to be taken seriously since the invitation can never be revoked, I get a feeling in my gut like I did when I first met them, that I can trust them.
“Yeah, um, I invite you both into my home.” I say and step back and they start laughing again and follow me into the house making sure to close the door behind them before they join me in the living room. My backpack is on the floor next to the couch where I dumped it yesterday after Lydia called me, and I make a mental note to bring it to my room.
“You seem surprised to see us love, but you shouldn’t be since you know you are like family to us Stiles. What should surprise you is that Nik and Elijah aren’t here with us right now as well, or that we haven’t already killed those wolves that once were your friends.” Rebekah starts as soon as we are all settled in chairs, and I have to admit she is right, but I'm not going to tell her that. It is surprising that I am getting a visit from them when they haven’t hurt anyone yet as far as I can tell, but I know it is too much to hope that they will leave peacefully and without hurting anyone after they are sure I'm fine.
“Yeah I mean, you are the one that called me and told me that the filthy wolves kicked you out of their pack because you were human and didn’t want to be turned. Did you think that I wouldn’t tell my siblings and they wouldn't be just as mad as I am?” Kol asks, drawing my attention back to him and I have to admit, I didn’t really think about that.
“Well, I called you because I didn’t have any friends left here and I needed someone to talk to, and I thought out you. Bite me. Wait no, don't bite me.” Kol smirks at me as I'm talking and Rebekah just shakes her head and grabs her phone which must have buzzed, and she starts replying to whatever message she just got.
“You should have seen it when I told the others what you told me about what your so called friends did.” Kol continues on talking while Rebekah is still on her phone, and I'm sitting forward slightly to listen to what Kol is telling me. “You can probably imagine how Rebekah and Klaus reacted, but you should’ve seen Elijah. He's always so calm and keeping us from running around killing everyone, but Klaus actually had to stop him from running right out the door and all the way here right that minute. It was honestly kind of terrifying.”
Rebekah has looked up from her phone and is nodding in agreement. “I haven’t seen Elijah almost lose his composure like that in a long time, I was a bit terrified myself. I think it is two things, one is that we all see you as family, and the other is that these were your friends, who are werewolves, who pushed you aside.”
“You know how Elijah reacts when someone threatens our family or is going against Klaus, his reaction to what I said was almost equal to how he reacted when Klaus told him that he had us all in coffins and dropped them in the ocean or when he found out mother was back to try and kill us again.” Kol speaks and shudders slightly when he is remembering how Elijah reacted in those and other situations and Rebekah has put her phone away.
I'm a little confused by what they said, I'm not sure why but even if I wasn’t there, I'm also a little scared for when Elijah makes his entrance. I've never really seen him anyway other than calm and collected, occasionally a little annoyed about something or with someone. Never seen him angry or not put together.
Rebekah shifts in her chair, her right leg going over the left before she speaks. “Well anyway, Nik and Elijah have found us a place to stay while we’re here, but they want to see you sooner rather than later. To make sure you are doing well. Do you want them to come here or shall I tell them to meet us somewhere else?”
I think for a moment before standing up causing Kol and Rebekah to do the same. “Um well I'm sure my dad is going to want to talk to you guys and make sure you promise to only feed from blood bags from the hospital, but one of you can go see him later. Elijah would be the best one to go, no offense to you two.”
They both look like they want to laugh, smiles almost to big for their faces. “Yes Elijah is the best one for civil conversations love. Should we go out to meet the others at some restaurant or store?” Rebekah answers while on her phone, texting one of her other brothers no doubt telling them to meet us somewhere.
“Um, how about they meet us at the library and we can talk quietly there and since it’s a public place you will all have to behave. Once we are there and have said our hellos, we can decide to go eat or not.”
“Sounds good to me darling, and of course we will be on our best behavior.” Kol replies with a sly simile while Rebekah continues texting quickly and after a minute looks up and nods to the both of us.
“Elijah says they are on their way, and that he gives you his word he will do his best to keep us from starting a fight or causing any mayhem or chaos just for our amusement today. And he has asked me to pass a warning off to you dear brother. He says that we are here to support Stiles, not to cause trouble or chaos because we are bored, so you better behave or he will punish you for everything that you do to stir things up just for your own amusement.” Kol pales slightly at this and I can understand why even if I don't know for sure what Elijah would do to punish Kol, and I'm not sure I want to know what Elijah will do either. Whatever it is though, Kol obviously doesn’t want it to happen.
Even though I know Elijah will not break a promise unless someone else breaks it first, I am only too aware of how he likes to leave himself loopholes when he gives his word to someone. The way that this one is worded I can see plenty of loopholes there, but he did promise so that does mean he will do his best to keep everything calm if something does happen. This is going to be a long and complicated day, and I thought I was happy for the lull in Beacon Hill’s supernatural drama before the Mikaelson siblings decided to pop by for a visit. Not sure this is going to result in a happy ending for everyone.
