Save Them All: Stiles Stilinski's Rebirth

"What now then?" Allison eventually breaks the silence, "What do we do now?"

Smiling, 'What now indeed, "At first I thought that If I just killed Peter it would solve all of the problems. Sure, I would have to kill a friend but If it protect everyone. I would stain my hands again. I was never the nicest of persons. When it comes to my family, I'd go to hell and back.

Thinking about it more, I came to realise that I was wrong. I thought it started with him, but it doesn't. It starts with Kira's mom, before either of us were even born. We can't fix that. And there is so many other small yet big things we can't control, like Jennifer Blake. I mean the reason, she looks like a half-melted pez dispenser. Darach's killings for power and her revenge isn't something we can stop, we don't even know when it began. So instead, I'm trying to fix the things that I can actually fix."

She looks at me taking a moment to fix her thoughts, "Is that …. Why you are pushing me and Scott together again?"

I don't even answer before she continues, " I can't be with Scott again. I mean I still love him, he was my first love but I don't even remember what drew me to him in the first place. I remember thinking…. He was kind of cute. Great eyes. Kind. A little funny, a little naïve, a little clueless but someone good. Not someone I would ever have seen myself with. But…he always seemed to know what I was thinking and how I was feeling, and he always seemed to know how to do just the right thing" She shook her head rolling her eyes, "Of course, then I found out about the whole werewolf thing and figured out how he was just smelling what I need and giving me that…. It's not who he is"

"His… a great guy. You know he is but you don't have to date him if you don't want to. It's just you gave him the courage to step out of his shell.

You gave him something to fight for.

You were…. His anchor. Without you being that for him… I don't know If I can still turn him. I was counting on you to be there if I do but I can adjust my plans " I sigh knowing that even the best laid plans fail. "Wait! Is that why you kissed me? To stop me from setting you two up?"

"No. If I remember correctly it was you who dragged me into an empty room and kissed me. Seriously why did you do that when you wanted to set me up with your best friend?"

"I told you hormones." I get a glare in return at my explanation, "Seriously it's hormones. Malia once said werewolves are attracted to scent and your scent is kind of intoxicating. I guess that's why all your boyfriends ended up being supernatural creatures"

"Great, so I've turned into Bella from twilight have I ?"

Laughing at that quite apt analogy I can't help but tease in my best Edward Cullen impression " That's practically an insult. You're much more beautiful."

This earns a smile in return, "Shut up! Dork" "We never really chatted back then hey?"

She nods weakly, "You were not interested in me back then you know Mr Buzzcut" "True… My taste in girls is the exceptional kind."

"Hey that's mean!" She protests

"Okay okay, you're more the main lead type. The Disney princess who the world revolves around whereas Lyd's and I are the better in every way secondary couple. " Seeing her quizzical look , I can't help but reiterate my stance " It's a compliment, It really is. I promise"

"Well you suck at giving compliments stilinski"

I glance toward the staircase, and steel myself, "Come upstairs with me, I want to show you something"

"Lead the way"

Standing in the center of my room, she glances around at the walls. I had taken down all the posters that used to hang there to make room for the papers pinned into place which neatly covered the entirety of my bedroom.

Pointing to the wall on my right, "The timeline starts there and it goes to here" I gesture to the adjoining wall "All the way around. Not just stuff that happened and how and when, but I also have to think of things that may be different or will turn out differently, if I – if we intervene. " Moving towards the first thread that ties everything together, "January second, the day that Peter bit Scott. Is now the day he bit me" .

"Are you a werewolf?" Allison asks

"Uhmmm. Not exactly but we will get to that… So its been about a two or so weeks since Derek's been back in town to see what was going on and about a month since Laura was killed. It took Derek not hearing from her to come back here and see what was going on. Or he felt her die, I don't know.We didn't exactly get into the details of that."

I turn to Allison " I think you should know that I'm working on a plan to get your aunt arrested and that seems to have spurred her into action. She's arrived earlier than planned. This… " I point to a particular spot on my timeline map, " Is where Peter first tries to murder her. And she ends up shooting Derek…"

"That's tonight?"

"Well it would be but not anymore" I grin as the wheels start turning in my head, "And you're going to help me"
