Save Them All: Stiles Stilinski's Rebirth

"I've always liked to play with my prey before going for the kill. The fear and control I have over the person who thinks they were all powerful. I mean sure its not efficient but I didn't get the codename Mischief for no reason. I was always quite the devious kid but after I got my powers, it just heightened my instincts to another level.

Continuing the story, "The family was hiding a secret though, they were special. More special that anyone else in that town. So much so that it incurred both jealousy and fear from those who knew. One day like any other while the kids were have getting ready for bed and the parents were winding down for the winter night. A bad person or two or three came and wanted to make take away the happiness of special family so they devised a plan. They wanted the family to no longer exist so they seeked to destroy any piece of their existence. They wanted them to burn!" I can see the blood drain from his face

"The Hale fire was an accident!" He says

"How did you know who I talking about Mr Myer. Do you have something to feel guilty about?"

"No…." He whispers but his heart blips at the lie as I sit quietly staring directly into his eyes, this is a trick I learnt from my dad during one of his cold case investigations. With enough pressure you don't have to do anything, unless you are a psycho who lacks empathy and guilt, the years of emotion pile onto people and once the past deed is brought up they implode upon themselves. They have been waiting for a moment to set themselves free from the shackles their lies have created.

Sighing he eventually confesses, "She said… she said all I had to do was rule it an accident. I mean it looked like one, there wasn't anything that told me any different. She offered me $10k, and back then I really needed the money. And she had somehow found out how worked with others before to change reports so that the insurance would payout even though it wasn't supposed to. Beside the kid didn't need the insurance money or anything. I mean his inheritance must be in the millions." His voice was filled full of self-loathing.

"I thought at first it wasn't like I was doing anything wrong, I mean it was an accident. Nothing in the initial report said there was foul play…. But then I got to thinking, my stupid brain got to thinking. It wasn't an accident was it" He doesn't ask a question, it is more as a statement, "And when I started thinking like that the voices of those people …. I keep hearing them… seeing them…."

"As they say 'There are only scenes that appear perfect, there are no perfect crimes'" I comment

Slumping he shivers, " I thought it was a way to make an easy buck, and it was so easy so very very easy to change a few lines on a bit of paper. I knew it was wrong I knew something was off" His head jerks up and my heart stutters

"That's why I kept it all….. I hid it all"

"You have the originals? Do you have the paperwork!?"

He looks at me "…..Yes…I made extra copies too" It appears, he's resigned himself to his fate. "What are you going to do to me now?"

"Me? Nothing except give you some life advice" I answer leaving him stunned, "Tonight, take your evidence and turn yourself in. That's the only way you can protect yourself from what is coming" I stand up and head to the door

"Who, what is coming?" He tries to probe

Smiling I answer, "One will come for revenge and another will come to silence the truth. Either way your Karma will be paid for you. It will be you reckoning" Walking through the door I give him one last ' Come with me if you want to live' like look, "You have the power to put things right Mr Myer… Good night"

"Who are you?" He asks one last time

"Death" I then use my superspeed to instantaneously disappear from his view, while still keeping an eye on him

I can hear his heartbeat frantically trying to gain courage to take the final step, " I … God this is stupid but…" He pauses as his eyes dart about before he jumps out of bed, gathers all his evidence and walks to his car.

As he puts the key into ignition, I'm in the shadows of the backseat which scares him one more time, "Oh…. Shit!" he heaves as he nearly had a heart attack

"And where are you off to Mr Myer?" It's not like one speech could change him, I know he wasn't just going to turn himself in so easy. While that may be his intention, I'm sure if the opportunity presented itself he would just drive out of town and vanish on me, "If you took 5 minutes longer, then that would have been your last 5 minutes alive. Now head to the police station…."

"Thank you," he nods as the car rumbles to life. He parks right outside the station and I listen to him mutter, " Come on Garrison, you can do this. You knew this was coming man. You knew it. Come on you coward just do it. For once in your life do the right thing"

Climbing out of his can he straightens his shoulders and heads inside before offering me some sage advice of his own, "The woman who talked me into this, she's beautiful, and I mean model perfect… but there was something in her eyes, something dangerous…. If you really are death. Kill that bitch because … she deserves it"

I nod slowly, sticking around just long enough to confess to the first cop he can find that he cheated on the insurance forms to commit fraud and then I hear him tell the group that have gathered that the Hale fire wasn't an accident at all …. It was arson
