The Other Argent ➵ Stiles Stilinski [1]

[20]

"IT has to be on a telluric current, or maybe even at the axis of two or where they all intersect. I just know it's where Derek took Paige to die."

Stella was sitting beside Isaac trying her hardest not to show any sort of emotion towards Stiles. She didn't want to make anyone panic at what she was feeling at that moment because at that point all she needed was her uncle back. Not just him but the Sheriff and Melissa back.

"My dad and Gerard were there once. But Gerard said it was years ago, and he couldn't remember where it was. And my dad obviously isn't here to tell us now." Allison mutters sadly about her dad.

"Yeah, mine either." Stiles mutters sadly as well.

"Then how do we find this place?" Isaac asked as he placed his hand on top of Stella's thigh in a friendly gesture, looking over at her with concern.

Stella looked up at him and shot him a weak smile but it was obviously fading quickly. Isaac only shook her head and pulled her closer to him, wrapping his arm around her shoulder now.

"There might be a way. But it's dangerous. We're gonna need Scott." Deaton started to answer Isaac's question while Stiles was to busy glaring at Isaac.

"Let's go, Stella." Stiles says out loud and walked towards the Argent who just snuggled closer to the giant werewolf.

"I'd like to stay here, please." Stella whispered softly and tried to smile at him but couldn't.

"Oh okay." Stiles says bitterly before walking away.

Isaac was stroking Stella's hair as she was looking up at the ceiling. Her head was currently on his lap while her legs were bent on the table.

"So, you and Stiles..." Lydia trailed off as she pursed her lips.

Allison turned to Stella and smiled widely. Eager to hear if her cousin found the answer to her question and had the courage to tell him that she loved him because she just wanted her to be happy. Stella never got that chance.

"There's nothing going on between us, okay?" Stella snapped at Lydia, not meaning to but it just happened. "Just please let it go."

They waited until Scott, Stiles and Allison all got something meaningful from their parents. Stella wanted to switch places with Allison because it would work the same for her. Chris was like her dad and she would sacrifice her life for him. She'd do anything for her uncle and that means sacrificing her life. But of course Allison denied her offer and wanted to get in the tub instead. She didn't want her cousin to go through whatever is about to happen.

"All right. What did you bring?" Deaton asked Stiles, Scott, and Allison.

"Um, I got my dad's badge. Jennifer kind of crushed it in her hand, so I tried hammering it out a bit. Still doesn't look great." Stiles says with disappointment as he showed him his dad's badge a bit bent.

"Well, it doesn't need to look good if it has meaning." Deaton explained to Stiles.

"Is that an actual silver bullet?" Isaac asked Allison who was holding up her fathers silver bullet making Stella smile a bit while she was sitting on the table still, a jar of pickles next to her, like usual.

"My dad made it. It's kind of a ceremonial thing. When one of us finishes learning all the skills to be a hunter, we forge a silver bullet as a testament to the code." Allison says softly.

"Scott?" Deaton asked.

"My dad got my mom this watch when she first got hired at the hospital. She used to say it was the only thing in their marriage that ever worked." Scott tells him as he held up a beautiful brown watch.

"Okay, the three of you will get in. Each of us will hold you down until you're essentially... Well, dead. But it's not just someone to hold you under. It needs to be someone who can pull you back, someone that has a strong connection to you, a kind of emotional tether." Deaton explained to them slowly in order for them to understand clearly.

Stiles couldn't help but turn over to Stella wanting her to be the one to push him down and pull him back up because he felt so connected with her. He was feeling things he's never felt before with no one else but with Lydia. Stella was the one who made him stop the 10 year plan with Lydia.

"Lydia, you go with Stiles." Deaton announced making Stella freeze when she was standing up to go over to her cousin.

Lydia turned her head to Deaton but then slowly looked over at Stiles to see him with confusion.

He didn't want Lydia.

He wanted Stella.

Stella immediately looked up at Allison with a smile. She smiled back at her in sympathy and also because that would mean that they have a very close bond.

"Stella..." Deaton called the brunettes name as she was walking towards the other brunette causing her to stop and look at him. "You go with Scott."

Stella snapped her head towards the man she considered as a brother. She loves Scott but she never in a million year would ever think that they would have a connection. A strong in in fact.

"What?" Stiles managed to slip out of his mouth as he stared at his best friend and the girl he was falling in love with staring into each others eyes, confusion held in them but also relief.

"Are you sure? I mean, Scott and I are pretty much connected." Allison explained but when Deaton stayed silent she looked up towards Isaac.

"It's okay." Scott whispered sadly and then walked passed them, holding onto Stella's hand pulling her a long with him.

"I'm sorry." Stella whispered to him as he just gave her a short nod in order to show that he was okay.

Once they were all ready to get in the water Allison put her toe in the cold water. She gasped softly.

"Are you sure about this, Ally? I can do it. So you can be the one to push Scott into the water..." Stella looked over at her but she just shook her head making her sigh.

Stiles looked at Scott once all three of them got into the cold icy water. Stella was running her hands up and down on Scott's chest trying to keep him warm while he was only half in. He appreciated it so he smiled up at her while she smiled back.

"By the way, if I don't make it back and you do, you should probably know something. Your dad's in town." Stiles informed him with a bitter tone as he kept staring at Stella's hands.

"I got you, Wolfy." Stella whispered into Scott's ear as they all pushed them into the water.
