Hello everybody! Thank you all for the positive reviews and everything. I am so happy you are enjoying the story so far. Maybe in this chapter I will introduce Stiles' spirit animal thingy. I hope you like this chapter!


Stiles

He shivered, walking out into the backyard with his grandma. The rest of his family and Tyler trailing after them. The younger kids sitting down on the porch. They stopped a couple yards away from the tree line before his grandma turned around to stare at him. They exchanged small smiles before she patted his shoulder.

"It's going to be okay Genim." She smoothed her hands down his cheeks, her smiling becoming a little more confident."You are strong. Focus on that strength and that will, your Spark. You will be just fine. You are like your mother in that way. Always strong and never faltering." Stiles nodded and closed his eyes as she reached up and place a kiss on his forehead before walking past him to go to his grandfather's side.

Stiles squared his shoulders, looking into the dense woods and trees. There was a reason why his family lived so close to these woods. His mother always told him the tales of the animals speaking and the trees whispering. Of the vines tripping you and laughing. She told him how every state had a place where the magic was so potent and thick. These woods is that place for Colorado.

He bent down, crouching and placing an outstretched hand down on the ground. He let out a breath and slowly felt for his magic. Closing his eyes as he gripped his magic, every ounce of it. From in the pit of his soul and heart to every cell in his body. He drew it out, feeling it hesitantly start to leave his body. Stiles focused it all in his hand, seeping it into the earth and reaching out.

Stiles heard the gasps from his family, and the proud whispers of his grandparents. He blocked it out though, reaching out further into the ground and further into the woods until he felt it. A connection. He quickly wrapped his magic around it, tugging on it and drawing it back into his body. He panted, eyes opening as a bead of sweat ran down his brow.

These animals were called a Spark's Familiar. An animal to keep them grounded to nature and her powers. They grew with the Spark, almost perfect copies of the person. But also different. The perfect companion. The connection between the Spark and their familiar ran deep. Each one of them willing to do for the other if the time came.

They all heard it before they saw it. The loud and powerful howl. The pounding of paws on the wood's floor. Stiles' eyes searched the trees before he saw the glowing blue eyes from between bushes. Stiles stepped forward, reaching out a hand. Slowly, he came out. A huge mass of grey and black fur covering his big head. It's ears twitching as it's eyes glanced around before pinning Stiles with it's gaze.

He stepped forward, the wolf doing the same. It was huge, for a wolf pup. He remembered his grandfather explaining this his. How his familiar would start out as a baby almost, then grow with the expanse of his magic. He wouldn't stop growing until Stiles was done with his training. Stiles bent down, sitting on one knee so he was eye to eye with the animal. They sat like that for a while, his family behind him waiting with baited breath. Then the animal huffed and bowed its head, nose to the ground with one of its paws lifting up.

Stiles smiled and tugged on his magic, pressing a hand to the wolf's head and feeding the wolf his magic. He felt the connection start to form. His magic humming under his skin as he felt the tie between them form. When he was done, he lifted his hand, the wolf pup lifting his head to look at Stiles. He smiled leaning forward and pressing his forehead against the wolf's.

"Wonderful Genim! That was brilliant! Not all people can do it their first time." Stephan clapped his hand on his shoulder. Stiles stood and nodded, his wolf bumping his head against his shin before sitting next to him.

"Thanks Stephan. I am pretty hungry now though." Stiles smiled and Stephan chuckled, nodding his head and taking a step back as the twins ran up to Stiles.

"Genim! Genim! That was so cool!" Adeline was smiling a big smile and was looking at his Familiar in awe. Aiden was nodded his head wildly, his smile wide, showing his two missing front teeth.

"Yeah! You like, you like glowed and then he howled and now here he is!" Aiden bounced slightly, bending a bit to look at his Familiar. Stiles smiled and bent down, smoothing a hand over the wolf's head.

"Here he is. What should I name him guys?" Stiles looked at the twins, seeing the two of them smile and shout out all of the different names.

"Ah, that was a very good show Genim." He stiffened when he heard Tyler's voice. Standing up once more as the man took a few steps toward him. His familiar growled lowly, stepping in front of Stiles and crouching low. Stiles smiled as Tyler stopped and glared at the wolf.

"Thank you Tyler. Now if you excuse me, I'm hungry. Let's go Aiden, Adeline. Stephan can make spaghetti." The twins smiled and ran off up the porch, leaving Tyler and Stiles and his Familiar. He passed by Tyler, tensing when he gripped his arm.

"You should thank me properly, Genim." Tyler's lips brushed his ear as he spoke, making Stiles shudder in disgust. He wrenched his arm free when he felt the jolt go up his arm, just like the first time he met Tyler. His Familiar was growling and snarling, curling his lip at Tyler.

"I don't have to do no such thing. Nor do I have to stop my Familiar from ripping your throat out, with his teeth." Stiles spat at, glaring at the man before him. He didn't know Tyler very well, but the man was making it very hard to keep his calm and not let his magic freak out and crush him to a bloody pulp.

"Oh Genim, I am sure you wouldn't want to do that." Tyler had a nasty smirk on his face, even more disturbing than Peter's when he tried offering him the bite.

"Uh yeah, I would. Because right now? I don't care you are a family friend. You are a dick dude. Not a very good first impression if I say so myself." His Familiar was pacing small lines in front of his feet now, trying to put distance between the two of them.

"Don't be like that Genim."

He started walking, his familiar giving one last growl before walking next to him. He was doing fine, until Tyler decided to touch his shoulder and try to force him back. He snapped his back to look at Tyler, turning and feeling his magic snap out, forcing Tyler back into the air and landing flat on his back. He clenched his teeth, staring as the man groaned.

"Don't ever touch me again. If you do, I won't stop my Familiar from ripping your throat out. Painfully, slowly, and very very tortuous. Stay away from me." And with that, Stiles walked back into the house.

He was disgusted. Who did this Tyler guy think he was? Going around and touching him like that. It made his skin crawl and his magic itch underneath his skin. It was very unpleasant to say the least. The only person he wanted to touch him was Derek. Jeeze did he miss him. He missed all of them. Hell, he even missed Jackson. He missed his father. And oh how he was going to beat him when he gets home. Going and getting bit like that.

Stiles sighed and walked up the steps and into the house, looking around at his family. The twins were eating chips and drawing. His uncle and two older cousins were helping with the cooking. While his grandpa and grandma were sitting on the couch, close to one another and speaking in soft voices. He smiled gently. Well, at least he wasn't alone. He was doing this to get stronger.

He made up his mind then, he was no longer Stiles. No longer the weak human that let wolves and every one else walk all over him. He was Genim, the Spark. The powerful boy who didn't let anyone get in his way or hurt him.

It was later that night, after training, showering, eating dinner, and talking to the Pack when he decided to think of a proper name for his Familiar. He couldn't keep on calling him wolf or something, and he wasn't so mean to call him the names Aiden and Adeline suggested. He was a wolf God dammit, not a princess.

The two of them were one Genim's bed. He was petting his fur and looking into the eerily glowing blue eyes that looked back at him. He reminded him of Derek. The wolf seemed to be growling a lot and had this grumpy look he got every once in a while, just like Sourwolf.

"Well, I'm not gonna name you Gus or Buddy or anything like that." Genim paused as he scratched his wolf's head, cocking his head to the side as he tried to think of something. He smiled then, rubbing the fur between his ears."Theodoric." The wolf in return, lifted his head and looked at Genim, his tongue lolling out. "Of course you would like the name which means people ruler." Genim snorted and scratched Theodoric's ears.

"Of course I will call you Theo for short. Not that cruel." Genim smiled and laid back, looking up at his ceiling and feeling Theodoric move around before settling in next to his side, feeling the cold wet nose snuff against his side.

He sighed, closing his eyes and thinking of what his uncle and grandmother were going to be torturing with tomorrow in training. He had managed to produce his little ball of fire again and actually managed to hurl it at the target his uncle set up. He sighed and slung an arm under his head. Focusing on his magic and opening his eyes as he pulled at that familiar emotion to get the flame started.

Genim watched as the veins in his arm burned an angry red, his magic pouring into his hand. The veins flashing black before settling into the pale blue once more as the fire lighted in the palm of his hand. He let his magic loose for a second, putting down the wards that his uncle taught him to use. The flame burned brighter. He glanced at Theo, seeing the dog watching now. The flames got hotter for a second, getting bigger before Genim slowly pulled it back in. Flexing his hand and scratching Theo behind his ear.

He looked a little bit bigger than he did earlier that day. Or maybe it was his imagination.

Genim woke up the next morning with a hot tongue licking his face, making it slick with slobber, and Stephan yelling at him to get up. He wrinkled his nose and opened his eyes, seeing Theo sitting on his chest with his tongue sticking out of his mouth. His tail gently thumping on his chest. Genim groaned and wiped a hand across his face, pulling it away and grimacing at the sight of the sticky slobber.

"Okay okay Theo, let's go." He let Theo scramble off his chest before pulling on his Batman shirt and jogging down stairs slowly, Theo pounding after him. The two of them went into the kitchen where Stephan, Adam, and Crystalline were making breakfast. Daniel had left after he found his Familiar, giving him a big hug and telling him how he was going to visit Beacon Hills one of these days.

"Finally, we thought you were in a coma." Crystalline smirked at him. She reminded him of Lydia. She was super smart and had a wittiness about her that was kind of bordering bitchiness. She had a soft side to her though, making sure he never over did himself while he trained.

"As if it would be so bad if you were." Adam smiled and snickered, making Genim glare at him and let his magic come out to shove Adam's face into the table. Crystalline and him laughed as Adam brought his head back up and rubbed his forehead. Stephan snapping at Genim to stop doing that. He merely smiled at Adam as he glared.

"Calm down Stephan. I didn't hurt him." Genim smiled as Adam huffed and continued eating his food, grumbling under his breath."What am I doing for training anyway?"

"Well we are gonna put off fire for now, you seem to be pretty good and conjuring up the right emotions and memories to get yourself focused. Now we are going to focus on drawing in those emotions and start doing telepathy things. Your mom was exceptionally good at it, so I have no doubt that you will do just fine." Stephan leaned against the counter, cupping his mug in his hand. Genim nodded and sneaked Theo a piece of his bacon.

"Mmph, what do I do exactly? Just read someone's mind like Professor Xavier?" Genim looked at his cousins as the two snickered behind their hands. Stephan simply rolled up his paper and hit the two across the back of their hands, making them quiet down and grumble.

"It's more than that really. It's searching through memories, of every emotion and every thought they have ever had. And to make sure you don't loose yourself and that person while going through. It is also building up mental walls of your own, to make sure no other can get in your mind. You seem to be a natural at that, since Tyler couldn't even get into your mind. Which is why you will be training with him today." Stephan smiled sadly as Genim tensed, glaring at the table.

"Do I have to? There can't be someone else to help me?" Genim huffed and sent a sharp glare over at his cousins as the two tried to comfort him. Theo was growling softly at his feet, not liking the idea either it seems. He really disliked Tyler. Could hardly handle being around him for more than two seconds, how could he go through a whole three hours of training?

"Oh come on Genim, he isn't that bad, you just have to get used to him." Stephan ruffled his hair as he past, ignoring his mumbling.

"Maybe I don't want to get used to him." Genim grumbled, glaring at the table. He looked up when Crystalline cleared her throat, leaning over the table and starting to speak to him.

"I don't like him that much either. Always gave off this vibe I didn't like, you know? Be careful today, okay? If he hurts you, I'll kick his ass." Crystalline smirked at the last bit, making Genim smile and nod his head slowly. Adam lent forward also, nodding his head along with his sister's words.

"Yeah, your little puppy won't do nothing compared to what we would do with him-Ow! He bit me!" Adam shot back, rubbing his leg where Theo bit him. Genim grinned and called for him, the wolf padding back over to him. He smiled, giving Theo a quick rub to the head.

"Don't be a baby Adam." Genim snorted and smiled, looking over his shoulder as he heard Stephan step back into the room.

"Come on Genim, it's time to train." Stephan waited as he cleaned back, sighing as he walked over and past the living room, Theo walking close behind him. He walked into the backyard, seeing Tyler sitting down with his eyes closed, his arms on the back of his head. Genim sighed and kicked Tyler, nearly growling as the man nearly smiled and cracked open one eye.

"Ah, hello Genim." Tyler smiled and sat up. Glancing at Theo as the wolf growled at him in return, the wolf's fur bristling up slightly as he stared at him. Genim glared at Tyler and stepped a bit in front of Theo.

"Quite it with the games Tyler. I just want to train and get this over with." Genim crossed his arms over his chest, hands clenching into fists as he stared down at the man. He felt Stephan clap his shoulder in a slight warning. It was then that he noticed that his hands were heating up slightly, the veins just starting to glow an angry red. Genim unclenched his hands, huffing as he saw Tyler's smug look.

"As you wish then Genim." Tyler stood up, brushing past him and standing a couple yards away from him. Genim turned around and frowned as he felt a slight tugging sensation on his magic."Hm, very interesting indeed. He seems to have a natural defense against a telepathy user. I am not sure how far it goes, or if it is the same way if he was the one to use telepathy."

Genim frowned, realizing now that the jolt of electricity he felt when Tyler touched him was when the man tried to get into his head. He squared his shoulders, feeling the annoyance Theo shared with him. This man wouldn't get anywhere near his mind, he decided.

"See, I told you, you would be a natural." Stephan chuckled from behind him, making Genim relaxed just the smallest bit before tensing once more as he felt the tugging become more apparent. He didn't like the feeling. It felt like someone was digging into his magic.

"I will apply a bit more force, see how far I can push you. Then we will see if your offense is just as good as your natural defense." Tyler looked at him, and Genim gave a stiff nod of approval. And so the training began.

A few hours later Genim panted. A bead of sweat rolling down his face and rolling down onto his neck. He was exceptionally good at keeping Tyler out of his mind, now he was trying to get in. He pulled his magic in, only letting a little sliver of it connect his mind to Tyler's. He felt the wall of defense Tyler had and growled lowly.

He pushed at that wall. Feeling another bead of sweat drip down his neck. Tyler was sweating as well, the two of them staring at one another. Genim clenched his hands, feeling his nails dig in painfully into his palm, blood rising to the surface. He let out a breath once he finally pushed through the barrier before almost falling back at all the thoughts that coursed through his head. He stumbled a bit before righting himself and staring down Tyler, seeing him staring at him in disbelief.

Genim made quick work of rifling through every thing. Making sure to do every thing that his grandma told him. Going through a memory and watching as he made it project itself in front of Tyler's eyes. The man stared at every thing absently, shocked almost. He stopped the memory and pushed it back, going through his thoughts and shivering as he heard a few of them. Then, he slowly pulled out. Immediately putting up his mental walls and collapsing on his knees. Panting and taking the water bottle Stephan offered him. He gulped it all down quickly.

"Thank you Stephan." Genim closed his eyes before opening them once more, watching as Theo put his big furry head onto his thigh and whining softly. He rubbed his head, licking his lips and looking at Tyler. Seeing the man regarding him with a sense of caution now. He was frightened, frightened of the power that Genim harnessed. And he hasn't even come to his maturity yet.

Genim stood, starting to walk up the steps, he looked back at Stephan and Tyler. Smiling as he saw Stephan's proud eyes before giving Tyler a nod and retreating into the house. He made his way up the stairs. Theo was tired also, which meant that Stephan would teach him how to train with his Familiar. Have him learn the speed and strength of his wolf.

He took a shower before tugging on some clothes, wearing a black t-shirt he stole from Derek from one of the many Pack sleep overs. He grabbed his lap top, logging on and going onto Skype. Smiling when he saw the Pack was online. He called them, laughing softly when they responded immediately. He was greeted with the faces of Isaac, Erica, and Boyd.

"Hey guys." He game them a short wave, smiling as he saw all of them smile a bit wider. Erica crowding a bit closer and looking over him through the screen. He raised an eyebrow, chuckling as she nodded.

"Looking good Batman." Erica smirked, her red lips pulled tight into a big smile, white sharp teeth glinting at him. Boyd slung an arm over her shoulders as he nodded with her in agreement. Genim looked over Isaac, seeing him pouting. He sighed and leaned forward a bit.

"Isaac." He called, said boy slowly lifted his head. His eyes wide and biting his bottom lip. Genim smiled at the boy and leaned forward."Missed you, pup." Isaac blushed in return, ducking his head and nodding. Before lifting his head once more to reveal his smiling face. He smiled back, leaning onto his hand.

"Missed you, too."

"So, is it dreadfully boring without me there?" Genim smiled and tapped his fingers on his thigh as the three of them groaned. Erica rolling her eyes and sending a glare at him. He held up his hands and chuckled."What did I do?"

"Derek is terrible now. All he does is brood more and mope around. Did you know he was in charge of training sessions? He has been making us train for like, five hours, every day. Every day! Then he just mopes afterwards and wishes he has more Skype time with you. It's sickening." Isaac nodded, his eyes wide as he said his agreements with Erica. Genim blushed and smiled sheepishly at the three.

"Ah ha, sorry guys. I won't be here forever. I have a feeling it will only be another six months or so. My own training is going pretty good if I say so myself. If you don't mind, you can get the Pack, I have something to show all of you. Two things actually." He smiled, tapping his fingers on his knee as he saw Erica stand up and yell out.

"Guys! Stiles is on Skype and wants to show us something." She sat back down and pushed the laptop back a bit. Giving him a wink. He had more of a view now, the whole couch and them some. He heard the thundering of steps and eager shouts of his name and he smiled, leaning onto his hand. They all came into view as they wrestled onto the couch, trying to fit.

"About time you talked to us." Lydia said in an annoyed voice, but she had a soft smile on her face. Scott was closest now, in the center of everyone. Genim's dad sitting next to him. Derek was off to Scott's right, sitting stiff. The twins on either side of everybody with Peter and Jackson sitting on either side of Lydia.

"Sorry, hey, I have something to show you. It's something to do with my training actually. My dad knows what it will be, so he will tell you everything you need to know." He looked at everyone's expression before smiling and reaching over to where Theo was sitting patiently, he put the wolf in his lap and laughed as everyone gasped.

"Stiles! You have a wolf!" Genim chuckled at Scott's bluntness, nodding and rubbing Theo who was looking at the screen with curiosity.

"Well, he is my Familiar. His name is Theo, next time you will see him he will probably be huge." Genim smiled and leaned his elbow onto his knee, resting his head into his hand and he looked at everyone.

"Reminds me of Derek." Aiden said, smiling as Derek sent him a glare. Genim nodded and shifted a bit.

"I know! He even broods like Sourwolf. I swear he even has the same growl as you do Derek." Genim smiled as Derek turned his gaze back onto Theo before sending him a quick glare, making Theo make a quiet snarl."See!Did you hear that?"

Everyone laughed, his dad smiling and Scott bumping his shoulder with Derek's.

"What else did you want to show us?" Ethan leaned forward a bit and Genim nodded quickly. Sitting up a bit straighter and starting to prepare his magic already.

"Well we have been training and my uncle Stephan helped me with how to conjure up stuff. More like elements. I have to focus and direct it somewhere. Watch." He pulled his magic, holding out his arm so the whole Pack could see how his once pale green veins turned an angry red, there were alarmed shouts at first, but he shushed them. And there it was, that flame in his palm. He let it take over his head before closing his fist and pulling his magic back in. Smiling at the looks of awe on everyone's face.

"That was so cool!"

"How did you do that!"

"Oh my god Stilinksi!" Genim just smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

After an hour or so it was just him and his dad now. Everyone leaving to give the two some privacy.

"How is training, nothing too bad? Not overdoing it are you?" Genim shook his head, smiling as his dad looked him over through the screen. His dad let out a sigh and leaned his head into his hand."Sorry, kid. I just miss you."

"I miss you, too dad. I will be home soon though, I promise."Genim bit his lip as his dad sighed. Then he just smiled and nodded his head, sitting up a bit straighter and clasping his hands together in his lap."How is training over there with you? The full moons aren't too bad are they?"

His dad shook his head."No, they are fine Genim. Derek and Peter are doing a pretty good job with helping me how to control myself. I even held myself together on the first full moon. Got my anchor and everything." Genim nodded his head, licking his lips.

"That's good. Thank God you didn't kill anyone or anything." The two of them laughed, Genim smiling as he saw his dad actually happy.

"I miss you Genim." His dad sighed, leaning forward a bit and Genim bit his lip. Nodding his head. Running a hand through his hair and closing his eyes briefly.

"Miss you, too dad." Genim smiled, seeing his father send a small weak smiling in return."I am never leaving you guys' again after this. Hurts too much. Thank God I will be home soon. Uncle Stephan says I am pretty good at everything. And that I have mom's natural abilities in telepathy just like she was."

His dad smiled and chuckled."She always liked getting into my head. We always knew you would be like her. You were always special. I am happy for you Genim. Because you are doing this for you. You aren't doing this for anyone else, you are only doing this for yourself. You are so strong Genim, just like your mom. I am so proud of you." His dad's voice was thick when he finished, and Genim felt a lump form in his throat.

"I love you, dad. I am never leaving you again. I promise." Genim bit his lip as he saw his dad's slightly watery eyes.

"Love you to Genim." He wiped his nose, sniffing and the two of them laughed quietly. Genim gently petting the top of Theo's head and sighing quietly before perking up slightly.

"You and Peter looked a little close today." Genim smirked as he saw his dad's cheeks turn redder. It was slightly gross, since Peter was a super creepy zombie wolf. But he was a cool guy, and his dad wouldn't be alone anymore. So it was cool.

"Shut up Genim."

"Awwhhhh come on dad I want details. Did he ask you out yet? Or did you ask him out? Tell me tell me!"

"Shut up, I can still ground you." Genim merely grinned and leaned back a bit.

"I am happy for you dad." His dad nodded and smiled back at him.

"Happy for you, too kid. It's getting late over there isn't it? You should sleep, you have training tomorrow don't you? I want you to be well rested." His dad gave him the look and Genim groaned a bit.

"Fine. Good night dad."Genim smiled at him, giving his dad a quick wave which was returned.

"Night Genim."

The screen went black and Genim sighed, turning the laptop off and hugging a sleeping Theo to his chest. He walked over to his bed, laying Theo next to him and yawning. Closing his eyes and thinking of Derek. Happy to see him smiling again. He can tell the man to lay off the Pack tomorrow. Now, he wanted to sleep.
