Castles Crumbling | S. Stilinski

27| At least I'm not a murderer

I get out of my car, walking towards the school. Lizzie left with Scott since I was taking too long apparently.

I clutch onto my bag and walk in. I head straight to my locker. I take out my Econ textbook before closing my locker. I look around, realizing something is off. I smile when I realize what it is.

"You should know that illusions don't work very well on me."

I turn around as everything dissolves and I'm in an abandoned warehouse. Out of the shadows comes a figure. I hold my head up high as a boy I've only seen twice appears.

"It's nice to officially meet you, Olivia McCall."

I tilt my head, eyeing him up and down. Of course I know who he is. He's one of the son's of a powerful witch who died too young.

"Don't need to introduce yourself." I say. "I'm well aware who you are, Billy Maximoff."

He laughs.

"Of course you know."

"Which doesn't explain why you're here in Beacon Hills."

His smile fades. I can feel his uneasiness. Billy is one of the two son's of Wanda. The other is Tommy who, unlike Billy, didn't become a warlock. Instead he is a mutant with powers much like Wanda's brother who died not long after she did.

"Someone took my brother."

He looks at me with tears in his eyes. I'm a twin like him. I know how important the bond is. I would do anything for Scott. I would even give my own life to protect him.

"And you think I can help you?"

"It was the Blackthorn witches."

"Why.. why would they take him?"

"They will do anything to win, Olivia."

"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?"

"A war is what is going to happen." He says. "They are pitting all supernatural creatures, witches and mutants against one another because of you."

I never wanted any of this. I didn't want to start a war. I didn't ask to be this powerful creature.

"They're scared of what I will become when I activate my vampire side.. and they should be." I say. "Nobody will be able to stop me."

"The vampires and werewolves have already picked their side but it's the witches and mutants who are internally fighting."

"It doesn't explain why they took your brother."

"We are of Maximoff blood. One of the most powerful magic wielding family's. Our blood can do a lot of damage."

"Meaning what?"

"They want to resurrect my mom."

"What?"

"The same way they resurrected your friend.. only this time it won't be my mom that returns. It'll be the version of her the world was terrified to see."

"She died with the Chaos Magic.. so that means-"

"She's the only person capable of stopping you." I look into his eyes and alls I see is pain. "If they resurrect her I lose my brother."

It's like one thing after another. I can't catch a break. I'm responsible for so much and I don't want to be. I don't want to keep dealing with this. But I don't have a choice.

"I won't let that happen." I hold my pinky up. "I pinky promise."

"A pinky promise? Really?"

"I don't promise things often, Billy, but when I do.. I mean them."
