Calling Stiles
@hope-robinson
[Stiles]
Stiles had been sitting at the castle and relaxing after getting back from work when his phone rang. Seeing that it was Hope, he answered the phone. “Hey Hope, what is up?” He asks.
[Hope]
“Hey Stiles, are you free? I really need to talk to you.” She said..
[Stiles]
“Yeah I just got back from work why? Is something wrong?” He asks knowing that she didn’t really call him unless she was in trouble.
[Hope]
“Well I’m experiencing my first heat and it sucks ass. It is not at all what I thought it would be and I’m going a little crazy in this house and I can’t open a window and I love Zach but I need air.”
[Stiles]
“I can’t break dad’s magic but I can create a room for you so it can feel like you are getting some fresh air if that would help? That way you also don’t run the risk of other shifters smelling the heat.” He offers up, knowing that Nibs made that heat house basically impossible to leave.
[Hope]
“Yeah don’t get me started on how pissed I am at dad. I feel like I’m in a prison and I know way too much about their sex life now which I would have loved never knowing. He also didn’t tell me how much pain I was going to be in.”
[Stiles]
“The pain goes away when you are with your imprint. Whether it be they are in the same room as you or touching you, it all acts the same. But you do experience more pain if you aren’t holding some type of physical touch with the other person. The farther away you are from them, the more it will hurt and the more it will burn. The only way the burn goes away is by bonding and mating with them. It is the only way to make it cease at least for a little while. So long as you and Zach are there, you should be fine. I have a feeling he won’t be letting you out of his sight anytime soon so you don’t have to worry about being in too much pain.”
[Hope]
“I know but with my hormones everywhere the littlest thing he does pisses me off. And all I want is space and I can’t get that. It’s just a lot Stiles. I’m not with a shifter that experiences this so I am constantly worried about what’s too much or if Zach even gets this side of me. It just fucking sucks. I wish this week was over.”
[Stiles]
“Yeah they can be your best friend or worst nightmare. I am not a shifter anymore so I think that it would be safe for me to come and help you. That way you can get your space and not have to feel the pain by not being around Zach if that is okay?”
[Hope]
“How can you help me?” She asked before running her hand through her hair. “I don’t want Zach to feel like he isn’t enough. He is really trying to prove that he will always be there for me and I appreciate it but I really do need space.”
[Stiles]
“Okay but when you say you need space you normally say the opposite of what you mean. I don’t know Hope but I can help you out with the whole getting air and needing space thing but that is up to you. What do you want me to do?”
[Hope]
“Okay yes normally when I say I want him to leave I don’t mean it but after he’s stupid teasing I really wanted him to leave me alone so I didn’t rip his head off so...I mean it.” She replied. “I want you to help me. I need you to help me.”
[Stiles]
“Okay then I will be right over. Just stay there.” Stiles hung up the phone before throwing on a new set of clothes and heading to the heat house. The magic allowed him inside where he called out for Hope. “Hope? Where are you?”
[Hope]
Hope hung up the phone before moving to put on more appropriate clothes before hearing Stiles voice. She headed to where he was and smiled as she saw him, “Thanks for coming.”
[Stiles]
Stiles shut the door behind him before seeing Hope coming out from where she was. “Of course. Now how about we work on getting that air shall we?” He asks before waving his hand over the adjacent room and turning it into a forest. There was fresh air and even the sound of a nearby creek.
[Hope]
She watched him before seeing the room turn into a forest. She walked into the room and relief washed over her as she took a deep breath. “Thank you. You have no idea much I needed this.”
[Stiles]
“I figured it would help. Sometimes I would do it so that I could not have to focus on the whole heat thing...at least for a little bit.” He responds while shoving his hands into his pockets.
[Hope]
Hope turned back to look at Stiles. “It’s beautiful and I’m certainly not thinking about it right now.” She smiled. “Reminds me of when Zach made the room a beach for me.”
[Stiles]
“Ah you mean when he broke you out of the castle?” He asks before making a baby bear cub appear knowing that Hope loved animals as much as their mother did.
[Hope]
“He only had to do that because someone told our father that I wasn’t a virgin anymore.” She replied playfully before seeing the baby bear. She kneeled and played with the cub.
[Stiles]
He let out a sigh, “Look Hope, I don’t want to fight about that. I was angry and drunk with my heat while you were trying to fuck my boyfriend. And now, you can see why I complained so much about it. It is literally one of the worst things ever.” He groaned. “You need to make sure you eat and hydrate though, it will drain you rather quickly so make sure you are constantly hydrated.”
[Hope]
“I’m not mad about it. I was, I was so pissed. You betrayed me in a way I didn’t think I could get over but dad didn’t really care anyway so I did not see why I kept it from him so long.” She said standing up. “I know, I ate earlier and I’m not thirsty.”
[Stiles]
“And you hurt me in a way that I never thought you would. You knew how much he meant to me but you thought it was some game. Maybe I should have just let you mess with him and changed what I was sooner, then I could have avoided all of it. But it doesn’t matter anymore. You might not feel thirsty but you don’t realize it until you are literally about to pass out. So have some more water.” He responds before making the water appear in a glass in front of her for her to take.
[Hope]
“You seem to have gotten your timeline messed up. You told our father that I wasn’t a virgin because you were mad that Liam kept bringing me up while with you. Your heat happened after that and you told our father shit about me because he hurt your feelings. Don’t you dare make it seem like I went out of my way to hurt you. I hurt you because you told him something that wasn’t yours to tell because your shitty ass boyfriend told you to. I am your sister. I might not be able to be with you the way Liam was but I am someone who will always love you. You surely can’t say that about him.” She said before looking at the water. “I told you I’m not thirsty.”
[Stiles]
“Yeah I know you won’t be able to and we weren’t even together for that long before he started to see TJ. Had I known I wouldn’t have...it’s fine. It’s in the past and that is where I will keep it. There is no point in being heartbroken over someone who wasn’t even really yours to begin with.” He sighed before shrugging and taking the water to drink for himself.
[Hope]
Hope nodded as she wrapped her arms around herself. “You would have what?” She asked..
[Stiles]
Stiles just shakes his head, “It’s nothing really. I never should have confessed to him maybe then he wouldn’t have been my imprint. The odds of an imprint rejecting you are so slim yet here I thought that I would find my imprint and be happy like mom and dad but that is just asking too much isn’t it?” He jokes lightly.
[Hope]
She smiled softly as she nodded, “Yeah who would have thought.” She bit her lip before sighing, “I...if you want to talk to Grace she is staying at mom’s old tent. Zach would literally lose his shit if he knew I helped her but she fought with her dad and she came to me and mom and you know mom can’t say no to helping people. But anyway...she’s there and she doesn’t know that Liam is gone and that her mom is...if you want to talk to her that’s where she is.”.”
[Stiles]
“She doesn't want to see me Hope. I fucked everything up and there is no way she would forgive me for what I did let alone her parents approve. I have hurt her enough, she deserves someone better than me.” He kicks a rock at his foot gently as he looked at the ground.
[Hope]
“Look I hate her but if anyone can help her it’s you. She doesn’t know about her mom Stiles. She hasn’t spoken to her father. She’s all alone...if you want to talk to her. Do it.”
[Stiles]
“How would I help? All I did was cause her the same pain Liam caused me. With Liam gone, she will just think I am running to her because he rejected me. I would not want her thinking she is my second choice. She means a lot more to me than I first originally thought which kind of sucks. Last time you told me to talk to someone and tell them my feelings that didn't go over so well but I will think about it.”
[Hope]
“If I didn’t think it would cause a huge argument between me and Zach I would be the one to tell her but I know what she put him through and I respect him too much to do that. If you don’t, someone will, and trust me she will need a friend. And you are about the last person to care about her.”
[Stiles]
“What are you talking about? What did she do to Zach?” He asks not familiar with what Hope was talking about.
[Hope]
“Well you know how after Liam left you you went into this really dark place well turns out so did she. Zach said she’s always drinking, to the point he was worried about alcohol poisoning, but anyway Zach got captured and she asked him for sexual favors in trade for her letting him go.”
[Stiles]
Listening to Hope’s words, he couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “What? Why? I am not worth all that. We only went on one date how could she get that bad after one date? I shouldn’t have confessed to Liam I should have just kept my mouth shut and not hurt her. I didn’t mean to hurt her. She means so much to me.”
[Hope]
Hope didn’t know where Zach was and since they hadn’t talked about Grace in a while she didn’t want him to hear any of it. She moved closer to her brother and shrugged, “I don’t know. I told you Liam wasn’t worth what you were doing to yourself but you did it. She did it. And now she has no one.”
[Stiles]
“You are experiencing what I did first hand with all that heat stuff. You know that I can’t help that. You have Zach as your imprint, you know how powerful those emotions are. Even if I didn’t want to be around or want him, my body craved it and it wasn’t something that I could really help. Had mom not let me change, I would still be in pain from that imprint bond.”
[Hope]
“I am very aware.” She responded nodding.
[Stiles]
“Did you want me to do anything else that could help? Did you need anything?” He asks after a while, not sure if she needed anything else at the moment since he knew that Zach was upstairs waiting for Hope as to give her space.
[Hope]
“No, I should probably go apologize to Zach. I guess I will see you after this week? Or maybe later, I don’t know but thanks for this. I appreciate it.” She said.
[Stiles]
“Okay that sounds good to me. I will go and talk to Grace now.” He explains before hugging Hope. “Good luck with talking to Zach and if you need me just shoot me a text and I can come back to help you.”
[Hope]
Hope hugged him back and nodded. “Thank you for being there for me. You aren’t a horrible brother.” She teased him. She let him go and watched him leave before heading upstairs to see Zach.
[Stiles]
Stiles couldn’t help but let out a small laugh. “Thanks Hope, you aren’t too bad yourself. I will see you later.” He smiles before leaving the house and going to find Grace.
