Chapter 8

Stiles ran through the preserve with Derek right on her heels – they were racing and she was determined to be faster, simply because he was stronger but she was more agile. She knew that she could never hope to win against him using strength so she had to depend on speed. It helped that all of her ADHD seemed to merge into her wolf, making her faster and have longer stamina than the average wolf – or so Derek claimed.
Eventually they both got to the Hale House, with Stiles slightly in the lead. They were both panting, but as soon as they got to the clearing they knew something was wrong. Someone was there, and they didn't know who it was. Stiles crouched down slightly as the scent drafted towards her, something was telling her that it was not there to harm her. Derek immediately pushed Stiles behind him as soon as he realised someone was there – when he caught the scent he crouched even lower.
"Fae" he growled out, confusing Stiles even more. Who/what is Fae? Why is it here? What does it mean for them?
"What do you mean?" Stiles questioned her mentor – who simply pushed her trying to get her to move away from the house
"no, it's not here to hurt us" she protested, knowing that he wouldn't listen as always.
"How would you know that? Do you know them? How would you know them?" he fired off as he got ready to attack, all the while gently pushing her out of the way so that if they were attacked then she would be less likely to get hurt
"I don't know, I just know that they won't hurt us" she answered the Beta, moving where he pushed her, knowing that he would actually push her into the trees if he thought that she was about to get hurt.

"The young wolf is correct, Beta. We are not here to hurt you" a women said. She looked so familiar to Stiles, something about her eyes made her think of a time long past, like she should remember something about this women. Derek however was staring between the two, looking at her eyes and then at the 'Fae' lady's eyes. That's when it hit her, where she had seen those eyes before. She had seen them just that morning in the mirror, but the only other person she had seen eyes like that on was her mother…. She couldn't be Stiles mother, could she?
