《The Monster Inside ➺ Scott. M》Chapter 17
Advertisement
Scott, Allison and Isaac arrived near the woods.
"Are you Okay?" Allison asked Scott ash she stepped out of her car.
"I don't know what to say to him" Scott replied. "I couldn't come up with anything. But what you did, that was awesome." Scott said, referring to when Allison threw a smoke grenade at the police officers in order to leave the apartment.
"I still haven't gotten anything form Stiles. You? Oh and just so you know, I texted Astrid to meet us here." Isaac said and Scott nodded.
"I don't get it... where is he..." Scott said quietly. Astrid then walked towards the three teenagers, smiling at them softly.
"Heard you guys need my help." She said as she stood next to Scott.
"Alright. Well, we can't wait for Stiles. Come on." Isaac said as he began walking away. The others following him.
They all stood at the edge of a cliff where you could see the whole town. It was quiet so Astrid decided to talk. "After this is over, I will have to leave for a few weeks."
"Where are you going?" Allison asked her friend.
"To my hometown." She told her friends. "It's probably some family drama since all of my siblings are together in one place." She laughed quietly. "Oh right, I almost forgot. I want you guys to have these." Astrid said as she took out two black bracelets with a letter 'M', giving them to Allison and Scott. "Never take them off" she compelled the two without Isaac realising as he was adoring the view.
"Thank you" the two said as they put on the bracelets.
"It has vervain inside. Astrid told us that it makes vampires weaker so it protects us." Isaac told the two and they nodded slightly, smiling at Astrid.
"Thank you, Love" Scott said, mocking her accent. Astrid laughed as he put an arm around her shoulder.
"You'll come back, right?" Allison asked. She was starting to like Astrid even though they didn't talk much.
"Of course. I like this town." She replied.
They heard someone walking towards them so they turned around. It was Deucalion.
"Cutting it a little close, aren't we, Scott?" Deucalion said.
"Got a little delayed. Where are the others?" Scott asked.
"Occupying themselves with other pursuits" Deucalion answered.
"So it's just you and me against her?"
"I think you'll be surprised what a good team we make. Also, Astrid can join if she would like."
"No."
"I'll join." She answered for herself. "Sorry, Love. I'm not letting you go alone this time" she said as she grabbed him hand.
"Lovely" Deucalion said quietly.
"Okay, get Stiles and then get to the root cellar, Okay?" Scott told Allison and Isaac. "We'll keep Jennifer away long enough for you to get them out of there."
"How are you gonna do that?" Isaac asked.
"I have a plan" Scott told him.
---------
Cora crouched down next to Lydia, rubbing her shoulder gently.
"You did this for me?" Derek asked Jennifer who stood in his apartment.
"For us. For anyone who's ever been their victim" she said.
"Stop talking to me like a politician. Stop trying to convince me of your cause." Derek told her as he walked towards her.
"Fine. I'll convince you of someone else's" Jennifer paused. "Scott. You can save his mother, Stiles' father."
"How?"
Jennifer began walking towards him. "I need a guardian. That's a role that can either be filled by the three parents I was forced to take, or by you."

"I can't help you. I'm not even an alpha anymore."
"All I need is for you to help me get Deucalion in the right place at the right time."
"Just killed three of them on your own. What do you need me for?"
"You haven't seen him at his strongest. I have. And if he's got Scott with him, I don't stand a chance. Unless I have you"
"Derek, don't trust her" Cora said, gritting her teeth.
"I have the eclipse in my favour" Jennifer continued. "But the moon's only gonna be in the Earth's umbral shadow for 15 minutes. That's the extent of my window. There's no decision to struggle with. Help me kill him and the others live. Just help me." She begged.
------
"I hear something" Isaac told Allison while they were looking for the Nemeton. "Its an emitter. It's one of your dad's"
"Are you sure?" She asked. They wind blowed harshly and they could hear thunder in the distance.
"It has to be. Come on" he said as they began running to where the noise was coming from.
The stopped when they saw the cut down tree. The walked around it, looking for an entrance to the root cellar. They found an entrance and quickly got inside, hoping that the parents were there.
The ground above the root cellar started falling down.
"Thank God." Allison said as she found her dad. Smiling widely and kissing his forehead as he smiled back.
---------
Cora and Lydia were about to leave Derek's apartment but stopped when they heard something move behind them. They turned around and saw the alpha twins, lying on the floor now separated. They ran towards them, checking if they're breathing.
"They're alive" Cora stated.
-------
Deucalion, Scott and Astrid arrived at a tall, abandoned building. They stopped at the entrance. Scott and Astrid standing on both sides of Deucalion.
"You said you had a plan?" Deucalion asked.
"On the first day of class, Jennifer sent all of us a message. It was the last line from Joseph Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness'. I got a message of my own to send her."
-------
Jennifer was looking at the watchstop on her phone. Waiting for the lunar eclipse when she got a message from Scott. She opened it, confused.
"See this symbol?" Scott asked, showing Jennifer a spiral on the building's wall. "Its a symbol of revenge." Scott stepped in front of the camera, showing himself and Deucalion. "You talk about balance, about saving people. We know what you really want. And now you know where to find us."
----------
Isaac and Allison untied the parents, wanting to leave the cellar as soon as possible. The roof started breaking as the ground from above fell inside the cellar.
"Hurry!" Isaac shouted as a shelf fell on the ground.
"Come on. Let's get out of here" sheriff shouted. The stairs then fell apart, preventing them from leaving.
--------
Deaton put the alpha twins on two metal tables as Cora and Lydia helped him.
"Can you save them?" Cora asked.
"Only if they start healing on their own." Deaton told the werewolf.
----------
Astrid, Scott and Deucalion stood in the building, waiting for Jennifer to arrive. She walked inside with Derek by her side.
"What are you doing?" Scott asked Derek.
"This might be hard to believe, but, actually, trying to help you." Derek answered.
"Ooh." Deucalion sighed. "Like brother against brother. How very American this is." Deucalion folded his cane. "Are you ready, Jennifer?" He began taking off his jacket as well. "Did you gather your herbs? Pray to your ancient Gods and your oak trees? Slit a baby's throat, perhaps?" He paused. "Should we show them why you needed to sacrifice nine innocent people just to face me?" Deucalion asked, his voice became deeper and his skin turned darker, eyes glowing blood red as he turned into his werewolf form. "Or is it 12 Now?"

--------
"Look out!" Isaac yelled as the roof started falling down. He stood up and held it up, his eyes glowing yellow.
--------
Derek attacked Deucalion but he caught his arms as he chuckled quietly. Jennifer tried pushing Deucalion away with her Darach power but she failed. He grabbed both Jennifer's and Derek's necks as he picked them off the ground. He threw Jennifer against a wall and Derek on the ground.
Derek landed on his feet as he attacked Deucalion again but he dodged his attacks. He then threw Derek against a wall and he landed on some old tires.
Jennifer ran towards him but he slapped her, sending her on the ground. He brought her to Scott, making her kneel down.
"Kill her." He sound loudly. "Do it."
Deucalion growled at Scott and Scott kneeled down, transforming into a werewolf.
"Now kill her... your parents are dying. That storm you hear? She's burying them alive. It's her connection to the telluric currents. Kill her and it ends."
"It won't end. Not with me." Jennifer told him. Astrid grabbed Scott's shoulder and helped him stand up. "He'll have you kill everyone you love. It's what he does."
"They're dying, Scott. Your mother, and the parents of your best friends. Kill her now and it's over. Become the alpha you're meant to be. Become a killer."
"They're not dead yet! Astrid shouted at the alpha, pushing Scott behind her. "He does not have to become a killer in order to show power." She looked back to Scott and said softly "believe me... you really don't. You'll only regret it later."
-------
"Is it just me or is this place getting smaller?" Isaac asked, holding the wooden ceiling as it was falling down.
---------
Deucalion sped towards Scott, grabbing his hand. "Maybe you just need a little guidance". He walked with him towards Jennifer.
Astrid ran in front of them, stopping Deucalion from walking. "Move, girl. Or I'll kill you" Astrid flinched slightly at the nickname. Only her father called her that.
"No." She answered as she grabbed his hand, squashing it. Deucalion's eyes went wide, surprised that she's so strong. She proceeded to grab his neck and threw him against a wall.
"You killed your own pack member, right?" Astrid asked Deucalion, who was laying down on the floor. He nodded as he got up. "You remind me of my father.... and that's not a good thing" she said as she walked towards him. "Threaten him again and I'll rip your heart out of your chest." She threatened the alpha. She pushed him towards Scott.
"I forgot to tell you something" Scott said "something Gerard once told me. Deucalion is not always blind." Scott told him as he took out two flash grenades and he threw them towards Deucalion, covering his eyes.
Deucalion began moving his hand rapidly, unable to see anything.
--------
Scott got up after the flash grenade stopped working. Everyone was in their human form now.
"The eclipse. It's started" Deucalion said, sitting down next to Astrid.
Scott looked around as Jennifer was nowhere to be seen. "Oh, no."
--------
Stiles ran into the root cellar and put a baseball bat between the ceiling and the ground.
"I always said aluminium was better than wood" sheriff joked and Stiles hugged him tightly, happy to see him again.
-------
Jennifer came back inside the building, screeching as she pushed Scott against a wall. She grabbed Deucalion and threw him on the ground. She grabbed his hair and smashed his head on the concrete floor, a pool of blood forming around him.
"Jennifer" Derek said, stopping her. "He doesn't know... what you really look like. He knows the cost of bringing Kali into his pack. But he's never seen the price you paid."
"No. He hasn't" she crouched down next to Deucalion, putting her hand over his eyes as he began screaming. He looked around, able to see again and he looked at Jennifer frightened.
Jennifer was about to punch him but she felt weak as she fell on the ground. Derek caught her.
"What is this?" She asked, not sure why she was suddenly so weak.
"Healing him made you weak, just like healing Cora did to me" Derek explained.
"Then you do it" Jennifer said. "Kill him" she begged the werewolf.
"No."
"What?"
"Like my mother used to say, I'm a predator, but I don't have to be a killer." He grabbed her neck "let them go"
Jennifer pushed Derek against a wall and began punching his face. "Derek" she cried. She moved away from him angry. Derek got up and walked towards her but she pushed him away again. Astrid walked towards the two and grabbed Jennifer by her waist as she threw her on the floor.
"Your fifteen minutes are up" Derek said as his eyes glew a cold blue. Jennifer threw mountain Ash into the air and it created a circle as it landed on the ground.
Scott walked towards the circle slowly.
"Like I told you, Derek. Either you or the parents" Jennifer said. "Well, I guess I'll just have to take them now."
Scott looked at her angered and put his hands against the barrier that the mountain Ash created.
"You've tried this before, Scott. I don't remember you having much success" Jennifer told the teenager.
Scott began pushing the barrier, getting closer to walking through it. Jennifer now looked scared and Derek looked surprised. Whereas, Astrid looked at him with amazement and happiness. Scott's eyes suddenly changed from a bright yellow to a beautiful red as he walked through the barrier. Jennifer fell on the ground, terrified.
"How did you do that?" Jennifer asked, scared.
"I'm an alpha now." Scott replied. "Whatever you're doing to cause the storm, make it stop, or I'll kill you myself. I don't care what it does to the colour of my eyes."
"It won't change the colour of mine, so allow me" Deucalion said as he walked towards Jennifer, slashing her neck with his claws. She soon died and the storm ended.
Astrid rushed to Scott and hugged him tightly. He hugged her back with a smile. "I'm proud of you" she said quietly.
-------
The alpha twins were now laying on the metal tables alive. Aiden smiled as he saw Lydia standing next to him, her hand on his chest.
-------
"My mother told me you were a man of vision once" Derek told Deucalion. "We're letting you go because we hope that you can be that man again."
"But if you're not, then having your eyesight back won't matter" Scott added "because you'll never see us coming."
Derek, Scott and Astrid began walking away, leaving Deucalion in the abandoned building.
--------
Isaac, Scott, Stiles, Allison and Lydia stood in front of Astrid's mansion. They stood next to her beautiful silver Mercedes.
Astrid walked out with Klaus and she ran towards the group. Hugging each of them tightly.
"Astrid, you'll come back in a few weeks. You're not leaving forever" Klaus said as he began putting the suitcases in the trunk of the car.
"Shut up, Klaus" she laughed. "I'll miss you all... but I will come back in about three weeks" she smiled.
"Text me when you get there." Scott told her as he hugged her again. Astrid turned around when she heard Klaus get in the car.
"I better get going" Astrid told them. She grabbed Scott's neck and kissed him gently. The teenagers around them smiled happily at the couple. They pulled away and smiled as Astrid began walked towards the car. "Oh, Stiles. I almost forgot" Astrid said as she took out another bracelet from her pocket and she threw it to Stiles. "They'll tell you why I gave you it."
She also took out another six of those bracelets. "These are for Melissa, sheriff, Chris, Derek, Cora and Lydia's mom." She said as she handed them to Lydia. "Give those to them, please" she got into the car and opened the window.
She waved at teenagers as Klaus drove away. "I have not missed Mystic Falls" Astrid told her brother and he chuckled.

Forewarning regarding the start of the story. This story contains graphic descriptions of violence. The first few chapters of the book focus mostly on characters experiences and state of mind. The protagonist doesn't start off as a hero, he's distressed, confused, scared and struggling for survival. LitRPG elements are sprinkled throughout these chapters but aren't initially at the forefront of the story. If you're willing to persevere, the LitRPG elements and significant progression become more heavily intertwined with the story as they become more relevant. Thank you. *** What to expect *** This is a Fantasy Adventure LitRPG. There’s gore, swearing, bad jokes and lots of struggling. (I like to make the character earn his power.)Book 1: Covers the characters' experiences in becoming accustomed to this new reality. There are chapters that focus on survival and hardship. He starts with literally nothing, gradually he accumulates incredible power. He achieves his power through completing various trials and encounters in his journey to find out who he is, and what he wants in this world. There’s a focus on the mental state of the protagonist and an alternating pace of writing to allow character development to occur. The planned second book will kick off at a much faster pace with more action, focus on the system, and delving into the purposes of the Grand trial assigned to the main protagonist.I aim to deliver a world with Interesting characters, Monsters, Magic, Epic battles, Levelling, System interaction, Skill creation, Trials (Quests), Dungeons, Training and more. *** Release ****Chapters will be around 2000-3000+ words long, averaging 2.5k. I’ve almost finished the first book and am trying to edit and polish the chapters that are being released.I aim to release 3-5 chapters a week.Please enjoy.
