pawns are the soul of chess. it is they which uniquely determine the attack and the defense, and on their arrangement depends the winning or losing of the game.      —françois-andré danican philidor

A Peter Hale character study fic for @teenwolflegacy​ Top Dogs week, day 1

First Born | Chapter 1/1 | 4741 words | Rated M

The stairs down to the old servants’ entrance squeaked horrendously in the middle, but Peter had learned that he could press the sides of his feet against the walls, where the support was strongest, and slowly creep downward without making a sound. It was a narrow little passageway, windowless, which once carried maids and butlers from the servants’ quarters on the third floor down to the study on the first. Secret stairs and hidden passageways, all meant to ensure that the help was neither seen nor heard, as much as possible.

In what was perhaps a fit of youthful melodrama, Peter found it dreadfully appropriate that they had put his bedroom on the third floor. His parents, he thought, liked him the way the manor’s previous owners had liked their servants: out of sight, out of mind.

He stopped on the fifth step from the bottom – the one that didn’t squeak at all – and quietly sat himself on it. Peter had to strain to hear through the bookcase that covered the passageway, which was good. It meant someone in the room would have to strain to hear his heartbeat as he listened in.

“Now Gianna is making claims on Deucalion’s territory,” said a rough, bass voice. Peter’s Uncle Ambrose. “It’s outrageous. After everything Ambrose Ward did for her.”

“That territory has belonged to the Ward pack for a century,” said an older woman. Peter’s great aunt, Maxine. “She becomes an alpha through bloodshed, and now she thinks she can come home and take the land from its rightful heir?”

After a pause, his mother spoke in her soft yet somehow imposing tone. Talia said she spoke quietly so that people had to work harder to listen, which caused them to assign more importance to her words than they might otherwise. “What do you think, Talia?” she asked.

They’d been doing this lately, both of their parents. Posing tactical questions to their eldest, preparing and assessing her for when she would someday become alpha. Read the rest on AO3

For @teenwolflegacy’s Top Dogs Week: Day 1—Character Study

Eyewitness accounts are often extremely unreliable, and emotionally charged events can affect memory retention. No one who was there that night will be able to forget what happened, but the things we individually remember might be very, very different.

However, this story is mine and mine alone. It’s the events that occurred in the library as I remember them.

And I remember them vividly.

(or, Sydney writes an article in 2012. In 2013, she publishes it.)
