Chapter 8 Leaning New Things

(Harley's P.O.V)

"That's the Scott I know." I mutter under my breath and I see that Scott's eyes soften a little bit and I know he heard me thanks to his wolf hearing, a smile tilts the corner of my lips upward.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Jordan asks in a confused tone of voice while I look the group sitting all around me and I have a feeling that some things are gonna come out of the dark.

"What do you think it means and you're one of the deputies of this town?" Theo says with a rather sarcastic tone, he notices my eyes on him and his ears drop along with his head in submission.

"Did… Theo just speak? He's a hyena now, how did he speak?!" Mason asks in shock along with everyone else… this will be fun, seeing how all of this will play out in the end. Theo looks up at me with a warry look and I nod my head with a grin, his ears perk up with his own grin growing.

"Yes, I am a hyena now and obviously I can still talk." He says in a sarcastic tone that reminds me a lot of the old Theo before I taught him a very important lesson for everything he did to me.

"I know that look, what you planning now?" My father asks with a sigh as my expression shifts into one of mischief that means trouble is coming and soon, I look up at the clock on the wall.

"It's getting rather late now and what I have in mind will take a while, since its Saturday tomorrow we can meet at the Reserve in the morning?" I say to the others with a thoughtful expression that is laced with a light hypnotic undertone, I see that they all think it over and seem to agree.

"Alright… we'll meet you in the morning, now where are you planning to stay the night?" Peter asks me and I grin a rather fox like grin in return that is sure to remind the pack a lot of Void.

"Well one of the last emails I got was that the Reserve was empty so the squad and I were gonna live there and if any of you have a problem with that… then fight me." I say with a rather sweet and unthreatening tone of voice before my eyes flash in a clear threat of 'do not cross me'.

"What time are you thinking of meeting up?" My father asks using a calming tone in the hope of diffusing a fight from even starting between me and the pack as he knows that one will start.

"I was thinking about nine? Unless any of you want to meet up earlier than that?" I say with a light curious tone and a shrug of the shoulders, seeing what they might choose to do now.

"Nine is a good time for us to meet you." Melissa says with a nod and a smile once they all agree on the time, I return the smile before I give my hyena's a look and they all run over to me.

"Well I better go and show you guys the reserve before it gets any later, come on." I say to the squad before I make my way to the door with my pets following after me right on my heel.

"With you being an Alpha, you will need to have a sit down with our pack to discuss the terms of your stay no matter how small… Perhaps we could discuss it tomorrow?" Peter brings up with a raised eye at his brother, Mista J nods his head in agreement after a few minutes of thought.

"Of course." Joker says to his twin brother with an uncharacteristically serious expression on his face that I and a select few only ever get to see from the clown prince of Gotham's crime. I quickly make my way over to my father and Melissa to give them a hug that they return with smiles.

"Night dad, Mama McCall see you tomorrow." I say before I dash back over to where Mista J, the squad and my hyena's are all waiting for me before we make our way to the reserve for bed.

(Derek's P.O.V)

We all head to the reserve to see what Stiles wanted… last night as I laid in my bed it finally hit me full on that she's back in Beacon Hills once more. We all reach the reserve only to find that she's playing with her hyenas while my uncle and the squad all watch her not that far away.

"It looks like everyone is here, so why don't we get started?" Stiles says to us as she makes her way over with her three pets following half a step behind her. I see that Theo is the one leading the other two hyenas with a rather smug look in his dark gold eyes as he watches the pack.

"What was it that has us all meeting here this early?" I ask as I cross my arms over my chest at her and a raised eyebrow, I see that most of the pack is wary of what she wants after all this time.

"Why don't we play a little game? It'll be a blast." She asks with a soft tone and her head tilted, I am sure that everyone in the pack flinched either physically or mentally at that certain phase.

"What type of game, Stiles?" Chris asks as he makes his way over to our rather large group, Stiles raises an eyebrow at the sight of Chris but shrugs her shoulders in an uncaring sort of way.

"More the merrier I always say… anyway the game is; truth and truth. If you are asked a question then you have to tell the truth and I'll know if any of you lie." She says with a grin, the pack and I all share a worried look but since we are all here we might as well play her twisted game.

"I'll go first… Why are the other two hyena's called Sciles and Mugen?" I ask with my arms crossed and a raised eyebrow interested in what the possible answer could be. Her eyes light up at the question, she slowly makes her way over to Scott with a teasing grin slipping into place.

"That is a good question you asked Sourwolf." She says with a soft giggle as she continues her way over to us, I notice that her three 'beloved' pets are all grinning at us from the sidelines.

"You gonna follow your own rules?" Corey asks her with an annoyed huff causing her grin to widen just that little bit more as she seems to be loving all of this attention that we are giving her.

"Yes the rules do apply to me as well, Sciles the oldest of the three his name is a blend of Scott and Stiles." She says as with a much softer, sweeter tone as if she is caught in a pleasant memory... her lips seem to curl slowly up into a soft smile that belonged to the old Stiles we all knew.

"What…" I turn towards the sound to find my missing uncle is glaring and growling at Scott while the younger adult doesn't seem to notice anything outside of Stiles standing before him.

"What's going through that head of her's?!" Hayden wonders shocked with no one answering her, Alex narrows his eyes at how the petite woman is acting around her childhood best friend.

"So Scotty, did ya keep it or did you throw it away?" She ask the true alpha before her with a soft and familiar tone of voice as she tilts her head in a curious move like a puppy or… like a fox.

"I kept it, couldn't bring myself to get rid of it no matter how many times that night plays over in my head." Scott answers her in a soft almost not completely there tone as if he is in a trance of some kind, Stiles seems happy with that answer as her smile widens into something warm.

"That's good to hear and thank you." She says to him with a soft tone before taking a step back and turning to face the whole group once more with a wide calculating grin in place.

"Why is it that you weren't on the dead pool when Jordan was?" Uncle Peter asks her and we all face her with a curious look in our eyes as the thought has run though all of our heads.

"What dead pool?" Uncle Alex asks as he looks around the pack with a feral growl while Stiles's grin falls into a soft smile as she must be remembering that little adventure for the pack.

"Sirens let along Vampiric Sirens were thought to be myths even among the supernatural." Stiles explains with an uncaring shrug of the shoulders but that doesn't really answer the question.

"But why though?" Liam asks her with his arms crossed over his chest and staring at her with a raised eyebrow, Stiles lets out an insane chuckle while her three hyenas laugh along with her.

"Our main power comes from our voice that is true but we can still pass as a normal human if we don't use our powers." Stiles giggles from behind her hand with an insane gleam making her hazel brown eyes glow, I see that Chris gains a thoughtful look as he takes in her words.

"Harley what have you been keeping from me?" Alex growls as said female turns to face him with an innocent look on her face. She tilts her head to the side much like a fox before its prey.

"A few small secrets from my past nothing that matters too much in the scheme of things." She says to her lover in a light tone while Theo grins up at her from his place at her feet now.

"Please, hiding the fact that you're now a chimera is not a nothing Stiles." Lydia scoffs with her arms crossed over her chest and a disbelieving look on her face as she glares at Stiles.

"Didn't you say when you got here that you had only told him your real name recently?" Malia asks the brunette with a fake thoughtful look on her face as she taps her chin with a finger.

"That's right! You kept your whole life in Beacon Hills a secret, that's not nothing." Lydia answers the coyote sarcastically before turning to face our former pack member with raised eyebrows.

"Oh, so you want to play is that it?" Stiles growls darkly with a dangerous smirk gracing her lips, Theo and her other two hyena's grin just as darkly at the pack as they stalk forward.

"Alpha? What do you want us to do?" Theo asks in a low questioning yet hopeful tone as he looks back out the corner of his eye but it wasn't to look back at Alex but to look at Stiles.

"Then let's play, don't get bite." She hisses out with a narrow gaze at us all, the three hyena's all let out laughing barks before running forward at full speed towards us, grinning widely as well.

"Move!" I call out to the pack as we all scatter out of their way in order not to get bite.

(Scott's P.O.V)

"That's enough, Mista J needs to talk with them... Alive." Stiles calls off her hyena's after what feels as if it's been hours of the chasing the pack and trying to bite or claw at any and all us. We make our way back to the house where Alex is waiting for us with a serious look in his eyes.

"Who is needed for this chat between our pack and yours?" Hayden asks as she and Liam have a child to get back to, with Lydia and Jordan having a pair of twins at home waiting for them.

"We only really need the Head Alpha or second in command to discuss this." Peter says after he thinks it over for a few seconds with his bother nodding his head in agreement with him.

"Well I'm off, I'll see you all later. Bye!" Stiles says with a cheerful tone and wave with her three pet's right on her heels along with the rest of the squad following into the main town.

"Well we need to be off, we'll talk later." Lydia and Hayden both say together before they leave the reserve along with their partners back to their children with a slight wave of the hand.

"We should get going as well, later." Corey says to us in a slightly nervous voice before him and Mason leave soon followed by Kira, Malia, my mum and the sheriff who have work.

"You should go and make sure that they all behave while we talk." Derek says as he turns to face me, I nod once before going the wat the others did to see if I can catch up the others.

"So Scott, have you seen the Star Wars films yet?" I turn around at the sudden voice to find Stiles is now standing behind me with a large Stiles's like grin on her lips and hands on her hips.

"Um… Yeah I have, I promised that I would hand I did." I say in a low tone while rubbing the back of my neck nervously and her grin turns into a wide genuinely happy smile at my answer.

"So, it's one of the greatest franchises out there right?" She asks as she makes her way towards me and places an arm around my shoulder still smiling and acting like the old Stiles again.

"Maybe… You didn't fully answer Derek what does Mugen mean?" I mutter before I face her and ask the second part, she gives me a soft smile as she seems to be pulled into a memory.

"It means forever in Japanese and I am sure you can figure out the secret meaning behind the names." She says in a soft tone that seems to get carried by the wind, I think over the names she called out Sciles before Mugen when they ran to her so that means… my eyes widen.

"It means Sciles forever." I mutter in shock I turn to face Stiles but she has continue on wards towards the town humming a light tune while skipping, I hurry after her.
