Hello! Long time no update. Sorry. A lot has been happening, including me dog passing away which was very sad. I know this is short, very short. But it's all could muster, and I just wanted to be done with the first episode already. I hope you enjoy.
The jeep screeched to a halt outside the McCall's house. As soon as it was stationary Lex jumped out, running up the path to the front door. She practically tore the handle off, leaving the door wide open as she took the stairs 2 at a time, Stiles following behind her.
At some point Stiles made it past her, and was first to his bedroom door, jingling the knob, hoping that if he moved it enough it would be magically unlocked.
"Scott!" Lex shouted, slamming the flat of her hand against the door "Scott, it's us. Let us in"
"Go away" Scott yelled from the other side, his voice sounded huskier than usual and a whole lot more demanding than usual.
"Scott. We can help!" Stiles said, while Lex kept slamming.
"No! Listen, you gotta find Allison."
"She's fine, all right? I saw her get a ride from the party. She's - she's totally fine, all right?" Stiles explained, Lex raised her eyebrows at him.
"No, I think I know who it is." Scott insisted, his voice cracking
"You just let us in. We can try –" Lex ordered, giving up on the banging and just leaning on the door jam
"It's Derek. Derek Hale is the werewolf. He's the one that bit me. He's the one that killed the girl in the woods."
"Scott - Derek's the one who drove Allison from the party." Stiles panicked, looking to her for advice. There was a thud from behind the door and Lex jolted up, pressing her ear to the door.
"Scott!" she screamed, no reply. She turned to Stiles who looked even more panicked than her. "Okay... Allison's house... Scott will kill us if she's hurt." She said taking charge with a small nod.
They quickly drove there, Lex jumping out of the car before it even stopped, racing up to the porch, knocking on the door frantically before doubling over to catch her breath.
"Yes, can I help you" a tall elegant looking redhead question, from the now open front door.
"Hi, Mrs. Argent. Um - You have no idea who I am. I'm a friend of your daughter's. Uh - Look, this is gonna sound kind of crazy, um - Really crazy, actually. You know what? It's going to sound massively massively crazy – "
" Allison! It's for you." The woman called back into the house and within seconds, Allison had appeared at the top of the stairs.
After about 10 minutes of trying to explain her way out of it, Lex's silver tongue finally prevailed and she returned to the jeep looking accomplished.
"What do we do now?" she asked Stiles as she slid into her seat.
"I don't know... should we go look for him?"
After driving around for hours, and Lex falling asleep with her face squished against the car window. They found him, wandering shirtless down the road. It was early morning and there was very little light in the sky.
"You are far too pretty to be out here all on your own" Lex called out the window as they stopped beside him. She climbed into the back, with skill that proves she had plenty of practice.
"There are werewolf hunters" Scott said absently after a few minutes of silence. "One of them shot me." He continued looking slightly puzzled. "But you know what actually worries me the most?"
"If you say Allison, I swear to god I will punch you in the head." Lex threatened as she leaned over the front seat.
"She probably hates me now." Scott moped before she hit him what she calls "gently"
"Stop it" Stiles ordered her and she poked her tongue out playfully. "I doubt that okay Scott. But you might want to come up with a pretty amazing apology."
"Or, you know, you could just - Tell her the truth and - Revel in the awesomeness of the fact that you're a frickin' werewolf." She blurted out excitedly.
"Okay, bad idea. Hey, we'll get through this. Come on, if I have to, I'll chain you up myself on full moon nights and feed you live mice. I had a boa once. I could do it." Stiles added. The rest of the drive was silent, a faint hum of music in the background.
Lex's weekend was incredibly boring, it consisted of working, sleeping and lying around without pants on "no friends no pants" was not just a rule to her, but a way of life. Lex worked at a small cafe in town called Mug Shots... in all honesty she only applied because she liked the name, but she didn't hate it. She was only ever called in when they needed her, or somebody couldn't make it that day. But with three employees all off sick Lex was called in.
Usually Scott and Stiles came by, keeping her company as she sassed her way through insulting customers.
"I ordered this soup about an hour ago and in that time, it's gotten cold. Can I have a refund?" An older woman said, looking down her nose at the short haired, piercing covered badass that was Lex Kendall
"That's not my fault, so no you cannot." She replied sharply.
"It is your fault and I want a refund." The woman insisted.
"I'm sorry you were raised to have the IQ of a ham fucking sandwich, but you cannot get a refund. I am willing to heat it up for you, but that's it."
The woman stormed off, as Lex smiled to herself.
Everything else passed by in haze and before she knew it, it was Monday morning.
Lex stumbled down stairs earlier than usual, rubbing her eyes of sleep and cracking her joints as she walked. She poured herself some coffee, and made some toast, all before realising there was a man under her sink. She quickly put her things down, grabbing the nearest weapon, which just happened to be frying pan. She looked at it and shrugged, kicking the foot of the man.
He sat up looking her up and down. She looked odd, old boxer shorts, a t-shirt that was at least 3 sizes too big, and mismatched socks, both of which happened to be batman, but not the same pair. Messy hair, and a frying pan.
"Do I know you?" she asked, trying to sound threateningly.
"N-no" he stuttered out. Apparently she succeeded.
"Are you robbing me?" she said more calmly.
"No!" he said, putting his hands up. He was young-ish. Mid 20s, and not bad looking, actually rather attractive. Sandy brown hair and brown eyes, with a smile that caught her off guard.
"Okay then"
"You must be Alexandria. Your father warned me about you." He said with a small chuckle as he stood up and offered his hand.
"He warned the plumber about me, if that's not love I don't know what is." She joked, before shaking his hand. "Lex. Only my parents call me Alexandria"
"Well I'm Freddy"
"Nice name." She giggled. Lex had a habit of being flirty even when she wasn't. The soft coo of her voice, and the permanent cheeky expression, tended to give the wrong idea. And to top it all off, her mannerisms where often misconstrued as overly sexual. The way her hips naturally swung, or how she chewed her lip unless she was busy. Almost everything she did came across, the wrong way. The people she knew of course had established this long ago, but everyone else...
Freddy looked her up and down again, a playful smirk pulling at the corners of his mouth. Lex panicked, putting down her frying pan and picking up her breakfast. "Nice to meet you Freddy" she yelled as she ran up stairs
"You too" he called in reply, his voice sounding disappointed. Lex grabbed her phone, dialling Stiles and pacing back and forth listening to it ring before he finally answered.
"Hello" he said groggily.
"Stiles!" she whisper shouted to her best friend
"What?"
"It would appear I am home alone with the plumber" she began
"So?"
"So? I'm not stupid, I know this only has two possible outcomes. Murder or porn." She informed him.
After a good minute of laughter from him he replied "Well, tell me how that goes at school." He finished hanging up abruptly.
Time flew as Lex finished her breakfast and browsed the internet and before long it was time for school. She got dressed, quickly grabbing her things and heading down stairs.
"I'm all finished, so I'm gonna go." Freddy said startling her.
"Cool. Thanks." She smiled and nodded, following him out the front door and locking it behind her. He turned to her as if he were about to speak, but thankfully the bus pulled up. "I hope I don't see you again" she smiled "No, I mean I do... but I meant like, fixing the sink... I don't want the sink to be broken... look there's my bus" she waved, running to get away from the man and onto her ride.
It was crowded and loud and Lex hated it. She sat down, and rested her chin on her hand, missing her baby.
As soon as she got to school, she elbowed her way off the bus, racing to find Stiles who was waiting on the front steps.
"So... how'd it go with the plumber?" he yelled to her, loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Apparently there was an unforeseen third outcome where he fixed the sink and left." She smirked, throwing her arm over his shoulder as they walked inside on their way to class.
So, thanks for reading... I know it seems a bit rushed, and probably a bit crap, but it was more a filler chapter. I hope you enjoyed it. Please review, if you want to. Even if you don't i would VERY much appreciate it. Well. Carrie Out!
