So sorry for the delay. School got hectic, but I've graduated now, so most of my writing obstacles are gone. I hope you enjoy! Respectful reviews welcomed.
"So Gerard is still out there as some sort of shadow-thing?" Scott asked again.
"Yes" Peter said, getting a little agitated, "Is it that hard to understand?"
"Well it's not exactly simple", Isaac said from his spot seated on the steps.
"His body was ruined, destroyed, during the change, because of the mountain ash." Peter explained, "But the wolf in him remained, as a shadow, a ghost almost. And now he's building himself a body, by taking parts from other people".
Scot was silent for a while, then he asked, "That means he took something from Stiles doesn't it?"
"Wow," Peter said with an eye roll, "Nothing gets past that brain of yours does it Scott?"
"This isn't funny Peter! If he took a body part from Stiles, we have to let my mom know so they can help him!"
"Then do that" Derek said, leaving his leaned position on the wall to stand. "Then we need to go after Gerard, and stop him."
"How are we supposed to do that?" All eyes turned to look at Isaac. "I mean we can't even touch him?"
"Then I suppose you'll have to wait until he has a body" Peter shrugged.
"What?! NO!" Scott turned back towards him, "That means he'll hurt other people, or kill them! Sooner or later he'll need a heart, and lungs, and a brain right?"
"Do you have a better idea?" Derek asked.
Scott just stood and shook his head.
Melissa McCall had rode the ambulance with sheriff Stilinski to the hospital. There she quickly threw on some emergency scrubs from her locker, and went to work.
Stiles had no signs of foul play, other than lacrosse related bumps, scrapes, and bruises, he was fine. Except for the fact that he was out cold.
"C'mon Stiles" She whispered to him under her breath.
She started when her phone rang. It was Scott.
"Scott?"
"Yeah mom it's me how's he doing?"
"I don't know Scott, he's out cold, but I just can't see anything wrong with him".
"Mom listen to me, I know this sounds crazy, but listen ok?"
"O-Ok"
"He's missing something mom"
"Missing something? Like an item? Scott what does this have to do with-"
"No mom! Not an item, a body part!"
"What?! Scott that's impossible, there's no opening, or incision or-"
"Mom trust me ok, please trust me. He's missing a body part, find out what is it, and fix him ok?"
"Ok Scott, Ok. But I don't know how to explain this!"
"We can figure that out mom, but please just help Stiles"
"I will, but you be safe Scott do you hear me?"
"I'll try mom. Gotta go".
She told him she loved him, but the line was already dead.
"What I don't understand is, why doesn't he just take one body?" Isaac asked.
"Yeah" Scott asked. "Gerard takes the easy way out of things. He wouldn't take piece by piece from different people, he would just take a body?"
"Unless he wants to hurt a lot of people, in which case he'll probably come after us" Derek said.
"You all make compelling arguments, but none are correct" Peter said again with a smug grin.
"Then you wanna stop being mysterious, and tell us what's going on" Derek snapped, his jaw clenched, and his eyes beginning to glow faint red with annoyance.
Peter rolled his eyes, then after throwing a sarcastic glance at Derek, turned towards the others. "Shadow wolves are required to take from different victims. It's how they keep their identity. If they just took over a body, that person would still remain. So they take from many people, to maintain their own self, if you will. But they do choose their victims, so we should still be on the lookout".
"We still need to find a way to stop him" Scott said.
"If there is a way," Isaac said, "and plus it's Gerard, do we even care if he lives?"
"Until he has a body, I don't think we can kill him either" Derek said.
"We need to learn more about him" Scott stated. "Peter do you still have the beastiary?"
"Maybe"
"For the love of god Peter do you wanna be helpful for once?" Derek snapped.
Isaac watched the three others quarrel. Derek's strong jaw line clenched, his teeth barred, and his eyes red. Peter's easy looks, and sarcastic air made him appear un interested. And then there was Scott. His pleading, frustrated golden eyes were trying desperately to shut the other two up. He looked so small next to the other two, but yet strong.
Derek was Isaac's alpha, but he knew that if it came down to it, he would follow Scott. He admired the fact that Scott's solution to everything wasn't killing, and that he could think rationally.
Finally, Isaac had had enough, "HEY!" they looked up at him. "Are we gonna save Stiles and everybody else or what?"
"Yes Isaac," Peter said, "As soon as we figure out how".
"Ok then," Isaac continued, "Lets move. Bestiary?" he asked Peter.
Peter looked miffed, but responded, "My apartment"
"Ok then lets go"
Reluctantly Derek and Peter followed the two boys out to the jeep. Scott jumped into the drivers seat with Isaac next to him, and the two feuding big kids in the back. The trip was tense and silent, as Isaac and Scott made faces at each other, mimicking, and mocking the two in the back.
Scott jumped when his phone rang.
Isaac looked at him intently as he spoke.
"Mom?"
Scott was silent for a while, as he listened and processed. "Ok, just. Just take care of Stiles ok mom. We're gonna fix this. Just. Just please mom take care of Stiles" Scott hung up.
"What's the news?" Derek asked.
"Stiles' liver. It's gone."
