Back to BEN’S P.O.V

” where am I ” that was the first word that escaped my lips as I finally regain my speech box strength.

When my view got clearer and I was able to move my body parts, I saw every one of them, Scott, stiles, Isaac, Lydia Allison and Deaton.

They were all present in the room I was which gat me wondering how I got there and how I managed to escape from the claws of death which was trying to shred me into pieces before I blacked out.
••
” what happened ” I asked again as no one seems to hold the reply of my first question.
••
” you were dying and we rescued, that’s the summary of what happened “, stiles replied humorously and I couldn’t help but smirked inwardly.
••
” thanks ” I muttered grudgingly.
••
” hope you won’t burn us all down with your fire ” stiles asked sarcastically and the remaining crew smiled.

I directed towards Deaton and he reciprocated it with the looks that passed ” I didn’t have any than to tell them ” message to me.
••
” we are sorry for how went south in our last meeting ” Scott said with a look that depicted that he meant it and I saw Lydia giggled.
••
” it’s alright bro ” I said as I looked around where I was again.
••
” but where am I ” I asked once again as none bothered to answer it the first time I asked
••
” you’re in a house near a stream ” stiles said earnestly.
••
” house near a stream “? I repeated after stiles like a grade 2 kid trying to humour his teacher.
••
” yeah ” Scott replied abruptly.
••
” but why ” I asked trying to get up from the bed I was placed and wrung in pain in the process.
••
” I think you shouldn’t try getting up now, your body’s muscle should adjust first before you start trying to move ” Deaton said almost ominously making me to ponder why.
••
” but am dying to get off here, I feel like I’ve been staying in this position for days ” I said as I made another feeble attempt to get up
••
” actually, today makes it seven days that you’ve been on that bed ” Stiles said shocking the s--t outta me
••
” what “! I exclaimed feebly because I possessed not the strength to shout.
••
” why did it took me that long before I woke up ” I asked forgetting the fact that I’ve lose my ability of quick healing.
••
” during your ordeal with the Gelda, you procure grievous internal injury especially on your heart, you’re only lucky that they located you quickly before your heart finally drops the drum stick ” he said sounding like an old granny teaching her grandson etiquette of appreciation.
••
” if you still possess your healing ability, you might not have ended up on this bed ” he added reminding me of my failure.
••
” if that’s the case , how am I still alive ” I asked glaring at Deaton waiting for him to give me a reasonable answer because he told me that the Gelda will always come every night.
••
” Lydia made some research and came out with logical reasoning which we tried ”
••••••

LYDIA’S P.O.V
I suddenly found my self in the woods, didn’t know how I got there, all I remembered was that we were planning on how we’re going to locate Ben.

Not knowing how I got there, getting out of there seemed impossible especially as it was already dark.

I suddenly heard someone scream, though the voice a little bit uncleared made a striking resemblance with that of Ben’s own.

Following the sound wave of the scream, I ran bare footed as I didn’t know how my shoes got off my foot.

After running for a short distance, I got to see where the scream came from and I was right, it was Ben’s voice as he seemed to be languishing in pain as he was trapped in the midst of some strange creatures which I haven’t come across with, even in horrific movie.

I saw as Ben suddenly fell down like he was dead, not knowing what to do ,I followed my intuition which was screaming at me to scream.

I screamed loudly, more than I could imagine.

And it seemed to work as they stopped whatever it was they were doing to Ben.

One of them turned to look at me before he raised his head up and screeched loudly, and the other creatures also followed in his step.

The experience from whatever they did was d--n bizarre.

Not ready to go into details of it, but we were able to save Ben through the help of another huge strange creature emitting fire from its body and he claimed to be Ben’s friend which was really hard to believe because he looked way above forty or close.

Swiftly, we rushed Ben out of the wood where Isaac was already waiting for us in my car.

We’ve made a call to him and gave him the perfect description we could gave him and asked him to use his scent in finishing the job.

I was proud when we got out of the wood and saw him already waiting for us.

We drove down to Deaton who quickly took him in order to revive him.

After many minutes of operating on Ben, he was finally through and he informed us that we only need to wait for him to wake up, and he also added that it will be in Ben’s interest if he wake before nightfall of the next day.

But he had us all confused when he further on complicated the situation by informing us that it ain’t possible for a normal human in Ben’s condition to wake up in a day, it will take normal human being at least 10 days to wake up because of the internal injury he sustained.
••
” are you saying that Ben isn’t a normal human ” I asked with a disbelieving tone.
••
” no, he’s a human ” he answered casually as if trying to stop the conversation from going further
••
” but you just said that he isn’t and how did you even seem to know everything about him and that he was in danger ” Allison said looking at Deaton like a criminal that’s yet to divulge his little secret.
••
” okay, he’s the guardian beast Jennifer used in reviving her life ”
Deaton said showing the displeasure he felt telling us.
••
” what ” we all exclaimed in unison following the strange revelation.
••
” but you said the beast should have been dead because of the revival of Jennifer ” Isaac said reminding Deaton of something he has told them which I was oblivious of.
••
” yeah, but Ben is different ” he said shifting his gaze to Ben.
••
” how ” Scott asked as we all seemed ready to hear all what he had to divulge.
••
” he’s the most powerful guardian beast alive, with two different life flowing in his system ” he said taking a brief pause.
••
” he’s an hybrid made up of half beast and half human, Jennifer succeeded in taking his beast side to revive herself, so Ben is currently relying on his human part to stay alive for now ” he said as with a change of countenance.

And I noticed this.
••
” for now,? does that means he’s still going to die ” I asked trying my best to accept the new revelation about Ben
••
” yes, he’s going to die, his human side has had much dependency on the beast side and can only carry on without his beast side for little days ” he said painting everyone’s face with a sad reaction.
••
” does he have any chance of surviving “? Scott asked with an hopeful tone.
••
” ” by retrieving his power back ” he said swiftly as we all looked at him with a confused look .
••
” how, and is it possible to get his power back ” Isaac asked with a tone that shows that he viewed as an impossible task.
••
” he can retrieve his power back the same way it was stolen from him ”
••
” how ”
••
_” by sU-Cking it from her system like she did to him. ”
••
” but I think that’s practically impossible or can it work when she’s dead ” Allison asked as she glared at Deaton.
••
” I don’t think it’s going to work if she’s dead ” Deaton replied her deriving a grieved sigh from all of us.

My head was kind of hazy, hearing them.

With the detailed description that Isaac and Allison gave us about how powerful Jennifer is, it sounded like an impossible mission to me and I knew others too have the same thought.

Getting closer to her alive is not possible unless she’s dead.

We were all silent as we all directed our gaze to Ben who seemed to be comfortable with his newly derived position.
••
” let think about him getting his power later and think how he’s going to survive those petrify creatures during the time he will be in slumber ” I said breaking the silence which suddenly engulf the room.
••••••
I couldn’t sleep throughout the night as my mind revolved around, got worked out thinking of an idea which of how to save Ben.
I remembered asking Deaton if mountain ash can prevent the Gelda and his answer was
” no it can’t, they’re just a mere shadow formed from phobia “.
••
” phobia “! I suddenly exclaimed as an idea crept into my mind.

I got reminded of Jackson when he was still a kanima, he was afraid of water because his handler was afraid of water.

And to my updated knowledge, fire and water ain’t a good neighbor.
••
” what if the Gelda can’t enter water because of their difference ” I thought to myself as a bright smile eluded my lip, my first for the night .

I shared my thought with Deaton and the group the next day, and they all think it’s worth a trial.

Deaton told us he has a friend who had a small building beside a stream where he always come to relax his mind and fish.
But the friend is out of town and we shouldn’t worry about him coming back for a month.

Scott and stiles performed one of their criminal trick to get a police van like the one they used in the kidnapping of Jackson, which was used to convey Ben to the location.

I applauded the owner of the building in my mind when we got there.

It was the perfect place for relaxation.

We had early purchased a floating bed when before we indulge in our journey, a bed with tubes beneath it which allowed it to stay on water without sinking.

When it was almost night fall, we wore Ben many clothes ,including wool over.

When it was night fall, Scott and Isaac carried him as he lay on the bed into the stream.
••
” but if this doesn’t work, what’s the plan b ” Scott asked stopping abruptly as they were about to enter the water.

We all turn our gaze to stiles at once.
••
” why are you all looking at me, I didn’t come up with this plan in the first place ” he said as he noticed we were all glaring at him.
••
” but we can’t go inside that water without a plan b when we’re not sure this plan will work out “, Scott said looking at us.
••
” okay, here is the plan b ” stiles said as we all focused our gaze on him, hopeful he got a good one
••
” when you see that the water isn’t able to hold them back, then you and Isaac will make the run, swimming as fast as you can dragging Ben along, they might not have the ability to run on water for a long period of time ” stiles said sounding sarcastic as we all glared at him with the ” WTF ” expression.
••
” anyone of you got a better idea ” he added when he noticed we were not please with his plan b
••
Not wanting to debate any longer because the darkness had already set, Scott and Isaac carried the bed and head into the water.
••
We head back into the apartment and I peeped through the window watching what was going to happen.

After some minute, we saw a moving fire, it was moving forming a circle.

I watched in terror as the fire stopped at the bank of the stream, and started forming the petrifying creatures I saw inside the woods.

After their formation, they stood at the bank of the stream watching the three.

They looked like they were terrified of the water .

It worked I screamed in joy as I saw moving backward away from the water.

But the victory’s feeling was cut short when they suddenly stopped moving after they’re few distance away from the water.
••
” something isn’t right ” I swiftly said getting the attentions of others.
••
We all watched as they formed a circle and one of them which I presumed to be their leader gave out a loud screech and the others joined it shortly.
••
I was surprised that we were all okay, none of us inside the house had any terrific fear brewing inside of us like the experience in the wood, but reverse was the case for Scott and Isaac, we watched as they began to shiver inside the water.

They were very scared that they suddenly released their holds on the bed and in fear, drowned their selves as the bed started floating away
