Reunited and It Feels So Good.
“So, she was siren?” Issac said slowly trying process everything.
“Correct.” Deaton confirmed.
“Now she a banshee?” Isaac asked.
“Banshee on steroids, actually.” Stiles answered.
“She is a banshee, but the dread doctors modified her abilities. So, my guess is instead of sensing death. Daylin can sense the supernatural.” Deaton explained.
“You guys do know I’m right here.” They all turned their gaze to her. She’d been sitting on the metal table in Deaton’s office.
“Why’s she still hot?” Isaac asked bluntly. Daylin blushed and Stiles hit him on the back of the head, like he did the night of the play.
“She was born with these physical attributes. So they can’t be taken away with the alteration of her supernatural abilities.” Deaton responded.
“So, what was the purpose of doing this to her?” Scott asked.
“I’m pretty sure they planned on using her to help them find other supernatural creatures and capture them. If Stiles and Theo hadn’t saved her. You’d all probably be in their possession.” Daylin looked around at them, feeling grateful for her friends. She stopped on Issac who was sitting crossed legged on a table similar to the one she was on. She had to admit, he was handsome. Especially the way he was sitting. He looked like a perfectly sculpted statue. He caught her staring at him and smiled. Embarrassed, she looked away.
“Cool, so back to me.” She joked. “How are we going to find Jack?”
“Well, we have Argent looking into his contacts in London.” Scott informed her. So once we hear from him.“ Scott was cut off by his phone going off. He pulled it out of his pocket, and read the name. “It’s him. I’ll be right back.” As he answers the call, he walked into the next room. “Do you think Jackson was a siren too?” Isaac asked. “I mean the guy is gorgeous?”
“Right?” Stiles agreed. “Like supernaturally gorgeous.”
“Who were your parents?” Isaac turn to Daylin.
“Aphrodite and Poseidon.” She answered him seriously, although she was joking. “Yeah, I’m actually 3,000 years old in mortal years. But I’m 17 as measured by immortals.”
She smiled devilishly. “Yep, and I can also fly.” Stiles, Deaton, and Daylin all laughed at Isaac’s bemusement.
“Okay, okay. Thanks.” Scott came in, hanging up his phone. “He found him!” Scott announced!
“Oh my god! Are you serious?” Daylin said jumping off the metal table and walking over to Scott.
“Yeah! Only, he’s not in London. He’s in San Fransisco.”
“That’s only two hours away!” Daylin exclaimed.
“Yeah, but how are we going to get there?” Scott questioned.
“My jeep, obviously.” Stiles beamed.
Isaac laughed. “Yeah, so we can break down in half a mile.” Stiles shot Issac a look.
Daylin laughed. “He’s right, Stiles. We need something a little more reliable.” She put her hand on his shoulder. “Okay, so what do we do?” He asked.
“Well,” Daylin began. “There is one person we could ask.” Daylin suggested. She smiled uneasily.
“No way.” Stiles cried in disapproval.
“Absolutely not!” Scott agreed.
“How did she talk us into this?” Stiles asked as the pulled up to the house. Stiles put the jeep in park and clicked it off.
“Because she’s hot.” Isaac chimed from the back seat.
“I know this isn’t ideal,” Daylin said sheepishly.
“Not ideal?” Stiles repeated. “Having broccoli instead of French fries for dinner is not ideal.”
“Come guys. This is the best we’ve got.” She opened her car door and Stiles copied. “No, I need to do this by myself.” Daylin got out and shut the door before Stiles could protest. She took a deep breathe and headed up to the door. Before she even got there, it opened. There he stood in the doorway, a smile on his face. Theo Raekon. He said nothing but opened the door wider. Daylin took this as an invitation to go in, so she did. He closed it behind them.
“What do you want?” He rested his back on the door. His smile was gone.
She smiled sweetly at him. She knew even though he was mad at her. He couldn’t resist her. “I need your help.” She took a few steps closer.
He laughed. “What makes you think I’d help you?”
“Come on Theo, please.” She was right in front of him now. She placed a hand on he arm. He looked at her hand and than back at her. His expression still blank. “I’ll do anything! Theo! This is really important!”
“Anything?” His eyes traveled down her body and back to her face.
“Theo!” She tapped his bicep and he chucked.
“I can’t say no to you, gorgeous.” He said softly tucking her hair behind her ear. She blushed and look at her feet, trying to avoid his gaze. “I’ll help however I can. On one condition.” At these words, she looked up at him. He pushed himself off the door and put his arms on her waist. “I want a kiss.” Suddenly, there was loud banging on Theo’s door. “Daylin! Daylin!” Stiles voice hollered out from the other side. She pushed passed Theo and opened the door. “Daylin, Scott told me what Theo said. Come on. We’ll figure out another way.” He grabbed her wrist.
Daylin pulled her wrist free. “There’s no other way Stiles. Even if there was, it’d take weeks or months. I want to see my brother today.” She told him.
“Daylin,” Stiles whispered.
“Do you trust me?” She asked.
“Do you trust me?” She repeated. He nodded at her. She gave him a weak smile and closed the door. Theo was a few feet away. She sighed.
Theo shook his head closing the gap between them. “Not now.” He said. “I want you to kiss me when you want to.”
“What makes you think I’ll want too?”
“You will.” He assured her. “So, what do you need from me?”
Stiles insisted Scott sit in the front seat of Theo’s truck with him. Isaac, Daylin, and Stiles sat in the back. There wasn’t much talking. Awkwardness loomed in the air. Daylin pulled out her phone and opened up her contacts. She scrolled through them until she found Stiles’s name. She hit the create a new text message and started typing.
Stiles pulled out his phone and checked the text. He furrowed his brow and looked over at her. She nodded her head towards his phone. Indicating she wanted him to text back.
-‘Hey. Why are you texting me?’
-‘I don’t want the others to know what we’re talking about.’ Daylin hit send.
-‘I’m sorry about earlier. :/’
-‘Stiles! I didn’t kiss him if that’s what your worried about.’
-'Will you say something, please?’
-'It wasn’t that you kissed him or not. It’s that you were willing too. So easily.’
-'For my brother? The only family I have? Yeah Stiles. I was willing to give Theo some stupid meaningless kiss to see my brother. What wouldn’t you do for your dad or Scott?’
Stiles didn’t write back. She looked over at him and he was staring out the window. Daylin felt really crappy. She knew it was selfish of her, but she thought it would have been selfish of her to not do everything she could to see her brother. He phone vibrated and she checked her phone. Stiles had texted back.
-'I would do anything for them. I understand.’ He sent back.
Daylin didn’t reply. She felt like he was still mad at her. Her phone vibrated again, but before she could look at it Theo announced that they’d arrived. Daylin looked out of the window and saw a beautiful two story brick house. It had white shutters and a matching white fence. The door was a dark green and had a homemade wreath of the front of it. Daylin hadn’t asked to much about her brother from the others. She had focused all her energy into finding away to see him. Now it hit her, she never even imagined that he might not want to see her. That his life was perfectly well off without her.
“You gonna get out?” Isaac said from next to her. Daylin didn’t respond. She opened the truck door and hoped out. As soon as she hit the ground, it became real. Her feet froze to the ground. She felt a hand squeeze hers. She looked down at it. It was Stiles. She looked at him, a warm smile was on his face. She exhaled and walked up to the grand house with Stiles. At the door, the nervous butterflies got to her.
“I don’t think I can.” She whispered to him. He squeezed her hand again and gave her a reassuring smile. Stiles knocked on the door. A second later it opened, a beautiful older woman with short brown hair appeared.
“Stiles?” The woman said in surprise.
“Hey Mrs. Whittmore.” Stiles answered awkwardly.
“What are you doing here?” She questioned. She looked at Daylin, who smiled weakly. “Uh, we thought we’d surprise Jackson. We have seen him in awhile.”
“Right! Um, Jackson’s not here actually. He’s still at lacrosse practice. If you like you can come wait inside.” She offered.
“No, no. It’s alright. We’ll go surprise him there.”
“Okay, it’s just down the street and to the right. Can’t miss it.” She directed.
“Thank you.” Daylin finally said a little hoarse. They turned and headed back to the truck. Mrs. Whittmore was right. It only took about a minute to get to Jack’s school. It was getting dark outside now, and the field lights were on. So it was easy for them to find the lacrosse field. They all got out of the truck this time, Daylin led the way as the boys trailed behind her. When they got to the field. They were still practicing. Some of the guys had shirts on and the others didn’t. She searched the boys for her brother, until she found him. He had just caught the ball and thrown it the goal. The coach blew the whistle and the boys started to disperse. Daylin figured it was the end of practice. Jack stayed on the field talking to some of the guys. Again, Daylin froze. She could hear her heart pound in her ears. She felt a gently nudge from behind her. She didn’t even look to see who’d done it. She slowly walked on to the field towards her brother. When she was about yard away, the friend he was talking to walk away. Jackson scanned the field indifferently, until his eyes fell on Daylin. It only took him a second to recognise her. Although, she feared he might not. It had been thirteen years since he’s last seen her. A look of shock formed on his face.
“Daylin?” He chocked. Daylin nodded and ran towards him. The look remind as her caught her in his arms. He wrapped them around her tightly.
“Is it really you?” Daylin looked at him tears filling her eyes.
