Castles Crumbling | S. Stilinski

8| I'm not the villain

It's been a couple days since Clea and Strange told me everything. I've locked myself in my room here at the Sanctum. I called my mom to tell her I'm okay, something just came up and I had to go.

I don't know what to think. Or really who to trust. I've trusted them my entire life. I let them become important people in my life. People that I cared about and would do anything for.

It's like they stabbed me in the back a hundred times. I never imagined something like this. They were the last people I'd expect to lie to me.

I look at the door as the knob rattles. I hold my hand up, taking down the spell as Strange walks in.

I didn't say a word after they told me everything. I went straight up the stairs to my room. I haven't even eaten.

"Olivia.."

"I don't want to hear anymore excuses."

My whole life has been a lie. I'm not even biologically a McCall. I was originally in the womb of a woman named Ursula Blackthorn. An evil and very powerful witch. My biological father is a monster.

A man I don't want to know. I could give less of a fuck who my biological parents are. Alls I know is that I am Melissa McCall's daughter. She is the one who gave birth to me.

But that's not all. They killed Ursula to 'protect' me. It wasn't to protect them. My training has been for control. So Strange could control me.

I triggered what's called the werewolf curse inside me when I killed that girl. She was innocent. That's why it was triggered. And it's the first time I truly feel guilty about killing someone.

Apparently, Strange and Clea never expected me to kill an innocent. And if I'm being honest, neither did I.

"I just want to talk."

"You lied to me! My whole fucking life, Strange!"

"I did what was necessary to ensure the safety of our universe and multiverse as we know it."

"But at the expense of me and my life! You act all high and mighty but you are just as bad as them!"

"I'm not the villain."

"You are to me.."

Clea appears and stands behind him.

"And you're no better.. you both lied to me."

"I did it to protect you, Olivia, you must understand this."

"Protecting? Is that what you call it? Because it feels like betrayal.."

"It feels like that-"

"It is!" I yell. "You tell me I'm this tribrid and what? I'm supposed to be grateful that you've kept it from me?"

They look at one another. I don't understand what kind of reaction they were hoping for but they're not getting it.

I'm pissed. Really fucking pissed. I don't want to be here. I want to scream until I lose my voice. I don't know what to do.

"Did you ever learn from your mistakes?"

Clea shakes her head to try and get me to stop.

"You killed Wanda.. and now... you've officially lost me."

"Olivia, don't."

"I'm no hero." I laugh. "I'm this being everyone is terrified of! When I fully become the tribrid do you think you can stop me?"

He knows he can't. Even when I was just a witch he couldn't defeat me. And now that I've triggered the werewolf curse my magic grew in power. And apparently once I become a vampire the magic hidden inside me known as the Order Magic, will emerge.

"The answer is no.. you can't stop me."

"You're our last hope."

"You should've thought about that before lying to me."

I throw a portal and walk through it. I wipe the tears streaming down my face. I walk towards the sheriffs station.

Stiles and Scott have been keeping me updated on everything going on. They dug up Laura's body which got Derek arrested.

I walk inside as Tara glares at me. I enter her mind and she ignores me as if I'm not even here. I walk down the hall that leads to the cells.

Derek looks up and looks at me differently. He knows. Werewolves can sense when another is in their presence most times. It's easier for born werewolves.

"How?"

I open my mouth but nothing comes out.

"Oh my God.. it's true."

"What's true?"

"My mother used to tell me about a creature that has power to destroy the universe.. a being of three species." He says. "A witch.. werewolf... and vampire."

"It's me."

"Laura knew.." he whispers. "She.. she said that she figured something out about the tribrid. She came back here for you."

The taste of acid fills my mouth.

"No.. no.. I can't be the reason she died." I whisper. "I never wanted her to die, Derek.."

He leans against the cell bars. I can feel his sadness like it's my own.

"The truth is she would've done anything for you, Liv. She must've known something."

"A witch attacked me, or more so tried. I killed her.. and I regret it. I regret it. She was innocent. Just a pawn in this fucked up game."

"That means you're one step closer to becoming the tribrid."

I slowly nod.

"I have to die to activate my vampire side. And when that happens.. so will the Order Magic inside me and nobody will be able to stop me."

"Are you worried?"

"No." I'm not. "But I'm scared that I won't be able to protect the people that I love."

"The Stilinski boy?"

I don't say anything because I don't know what to say.

"Look how red your cheeks got."

"I came here to make sure you're okay." I snap. "Clearly you are."

I turn around and start to walk away.

"Just admit it."

"Enjoy jail."

I walk out and down the hall.
