Chris parked outside of the boarding house.

It was nighttime now.

Stiles had changed at the latest motel this morning from her previous outfit to a black and white hauler top with a pair of bleach washed ripped jeans with a pair of black combat boots.

Her hair was up in a loose messy ponytail with several small braids.

The door opened to reveal Damon Salvatore.

He smiles at the young Stilinski girl who saw the best in him even when he had his humanity turned off.

She was the sole reason why Stefan and Damon were best friends again.

She'd smacked them both upside their head and had forced the both of them to make up...even if it took them all night to make up.

He came out to help her with her bags. But he stopped when he saw her staring at the house as if she was contemplating everything.

He pulls her into a hug and she hugged him back.

He tells her "It's good to have you here tiny." She giggled at the nickname he'd given her years ago.

He looks at the two tired hunters.

Damon then tells the two Argent hunters "You're both welcome to stay the night too. We've also got plenty of room and food to go around." Both gave each other a look and nodded at each other.

They got out and helped carry their overnight bags inside.

🌙

Stiles looked around her new room.

Her room had been finished a few days early and her uncles wanted to surprise her with how it turned out.

It had a connected large master bathroom and a walk in closet that held some of her clothes from last time she visited.

It also held a few other personal belongings that were from her mother.

She noticed a picture of her mother that was hung up on one of the bare walls and surrounded by plants.

Grabbing it off the wall as she sat down on the small seat in the closet by the window.

Stiles sniffed as she stared at the picture of her, her mom, and her uncles who had taken the two ladies on a surprise visit to Rome and then Greece.

Her dad couldn't come because of work. Even when her mom was alive he was always working and it had put a strain on her parents marriage.

Stiles barely remembered a time when her dad wasn't working. Even now he hadn't fought for her to stay nor had he tried to get her to stay.

She let out a soft sigh.

She missed her mom.

Feeling a pair of gently hands on her shoulders. She looks up to see Nyx who smiles sadly at the young guardian.

Nyx tells her "You should know your mother found peace. She did ask me when I saw her last to keep an eye on you for her. I even promised her that I'd keep you safe. She did want you to find happiness and put yourself first." Stiles nodded at the Goddess.

Nyx smiles at the young girl again.

She then says "Just know you're like the daughter I never had. Sure I wished I'd gotten a daughter too but that doesn't mean I love my children any less." Stiles smiled at the Goddess before hugging her tightly as tears fell down her cheeks.

The Goddess was stunned for a moment before she hugged Stiles back.

Gently brushing her fingers through the- she shakes her head.

Stiles isn't just any guardian.

She smiles as she brushed her fingers through her young guardians hair.

Nyx was worried about getting close to Stiles...especially after what happened to her last Guardian that she had about ninety years ago.

She looks down at the young girl who looked back up to her with a look of adoration.

Seeing her face with that look, it made Nyx's cold and immortal heart warm up a tad bit.

Deep down she knew she had made the right decision to pick Stiles as her newest guardian.

She held the girl tighter as the young Stilinski girl was slowly falling asleep in her arms.

🌙

Damon and Allison came upstairs to check up on Stiles.

They found her asleep on the ground in the closet clutching the picture in her arms.

Damon smiled sadly at the sight.

He missed Stiles's mom Melanyana too.

Melanyana and Stiles were two of the very few people that truly saw the good in Damon even when he'd done so many terrible things.

Gently scooping her up as Allison followed behind him. She had grabbed some pajamas for Stiles to change her into.

Damon went to take her picture but he stopped himself.

He turns to Allison with a sad smile.

He then softly says "I'll leave you to it, little archer. Just keep an eye on her if she wakes up." Allison smiles at him and nods.

Allison gently put the white silky pajama set on her sleeping best friend.

Letting out a soft sigh.

She knelt down feeling a-bit hopeless and helpless especially for not helping her best friend sooner.

She softly whispers "I'm so so sorry Stiles. I know that you'll never hear this. I'm so sorry, I wasn't enough to help you or to stop the Nogitsune from possessing you. I'm so so so sorry for pushing you away when you needed me most." The young hunter felt defeated.

In the few battles she'd been in she'd always won. This was her first loss.

Sure, her best friend is alive but she couldn't help but feel helpless for being responsible for what happened.

🌙

Nyx watched as the young huntress girl kept apologizing to the sleeping guardian.

She frowned at the way the young huntress kept blaming herself for everything that happened.

Nyx gently touched the young huntresses shoulder hoping to give her some sort of comfort and silently hoping that she no longer blames herself for everything that happened.

Allison had stiffened before slowly turning to see nothing.

She frowned.

What had touched her shoulder and had given her some comfort.

Smiling sadly at the supposedly empty room.

Allison softly whispers "Thank you. Whoever you are. Please keep my best friend safe for me." Nyx smiles and nods at the young huntresses request.

How about the election eh?

I know I don't talk about politics or religion on here it's for personal reasons tbh. I don't like to talk about either of those topics unless I'm asked.

I'm so so sorry to all my fellow US readers. Just know we'll get through all this chaotic bullshit together. 🤍

Being a Latina & a WOMAN...I'm so fucking scared about what's going to happen with Trump the orange criminal being our president again.

If I'm being completely honest tho...we're definitely fucked at this point.

Imma move to Greece at this point tbh.

Good news tho is I made a playlist for the story!

I left both the link & the Spotify code in the playlist chapter!

Lmk what y'all think of the songs I picked! I'll try to add more too during the second act of the book.

Also lmk what songs you'd want me to add!

I've been listening to a TON of Lydia the Bard, Epic & other musicals lately. So be prepared for a ton of musical songs! 😂😈

What do you think happened to Nyx's previous guardian? Shall we see them down the line? Wanna see any other of the God/Goddess guardians? I've got one in mind but it'll happen in a few chapters! Should Allison be a guardian too? If so which God or Goddess? When do y'all wanna see the McCall pack to try to find Stiles? Later? Sooner?What did y'all think of the bonding moment between Stiles & Nyx? It was a small personal touch I added. 🥹

If y'all can't tell I'm a bit spiritual even tho I wouldn't call myself that...but I've had a strong connection to a few Goddesses/Gods lately. Anubis, Khonsu, Osiris, Nyx, Aphrodite, Hekate, Athena & Medusa. (Yes, I consider Medusa a Goddess in her own right. I say her cause I was abused by my supposed parents. But I was touched in a way I don't like once by an ex. I don't talk to that person anymore.)

If anyone starts or says anything negative, I'll be blocking and deleting ALL of the negative comments.

Elena meets Stiles in the next chapter! Hehehehe I'm excited if you couldn't tell. 😈

I'm soooo excited about them meeting! She's definitely gonna be Elena's number 1 hater! I'm so fucking here for it! Sorry not sorry to any Elena stans.

Stiles also shows Damon about her being a guardian in the next chapter and Stefan a bit later on cause ya know of a certain ancient puppy who Stiles is sooo gonna tease!😂😁
