Chapter 7- Bladder Problems
When Lorelei woke up the next morning her eyes were crusted with dried tears and her cheeks were red from sobbing breathlessness. She walked into her bathroom at 4:30 and continued to stand in front of the mirror in her 'You can't sit with us' t-shirt and pink sweat pants. She went through a list of things she had to do today.
- Cross country practice
- French test
- New chemistry topic
- English
- Free period
- Meet with peter
- Say goodbye to some of the only people who knew the truth
She checked her phone again. 4:40. She hopped into the shower and turned the water as hot as it would go. It was scolding hot but in a nice way. She thought about what Sam had said last night.
She was alive and that was the main thing. Being alive meant making mistakes, getting hurt and losing people. But it also meant risks paying off, healing and learning to love those you have left.
She turned the heat down and ignored the screaming pain that had come from the sudden change in temperature. She stood underneath the shower for a few more minutes and started to think. She knew that Scott wouldn't hurt her if she told him the truth so she decided that she would tell him at the earliest possible convenience. It was a bit risky but it would probably pay off. She turned the shower off and started to dry herself off. She had Cross country practice first off so she would just do her hair when she got to school. She changed into a cute black top, ripped jeans, ballet flats and finished it off with a crescent moon necklace.
She shoved the note from Peter into her bag and walked into the kitchen carrying the files she had grabbed at the school.
She sat down and spread them across the table; she had just reading Vernon Boyd's file again when her hand started twitching. She walked over to the bench and started to make herself coffee when Sam walked into the room.
"Feeling better Storm?" He walked over to her and put a hand on her shoulder.
"I'm fine Sammy. I have the files on the table if you wanted to quickly go through them before you leave," Lorelei choked up a bit at the word leave but Sam didn't seem to notice, "Just in case I've missed something."
"That's a good idea Storm. Can you make me a cup as well please?" Lorelei picked up on his increasing use of her nickname. She knew it was meant in a term of endearment, but it was Axel that had started calling her Storm in the first place.
Lorelei pushed the thought aside and shook her head.
"I'm not your maid Sammy. Make your own damn coffee," With that she picked up her cup and walked back to the table. She checked her phone again. 6:10.
Sam sat across the table from her and started reading Alison's file. She saw him pause and jolt down a few things on a notepad she had used every now and then, but other than that they sat together in silence until Dean woke up.
"Nerds," Lorelei heard Dean murmur under his breath as he walked past them.
Lorelei got to school with her coffee clutched tightly in her hand. She stood at her locker searching the hall for Scott. She had to tell him as soon as she could.
The bell rang and she cursed. She walked down to the girls' locker rooms still searching for Scott. She finally saw him just as he walked into the boys' locker room. She cursed again.
Lorelei turned and walked into the locker room throwing her now empty coffee cup out on the way in. She normally ignored the conversations that swirled around her but she couldn't help but eavesdrop into a conversation some blonde was having with her friend.
"So he's missing?" The friend said looking slightly unconvinced.
"Yeah, he went to the vet and never showed up at home," Lorelei's ears perked up at the mention of the vet.
"He could just be crashing at a friend's house," The friend looked really unconvinced now.
"He could be, but he left his car and his dog at the vet," The blonde looked really concerned.
"Really? He didn't text you or anything?" The friend obviously picked up on the weirdness of the last comment.
Lorelei would have continued listening but her phone started ringing. She looked at the caller Id and frowned slightly.
"Hello Dean," Lorelei said slightly exasperated.
"Glad you're so happy to hear from me," Dean sighed, "Anyway Sammy found something interesting out, looking through the folders."
Lorelei looked over her shoulders on instinct before replying.
"What did he find?"
"Apparently Scott McCall is asthmatic," Crap Lorelei thought, they found out about Scott. Lorelei tried to sound nonchalant.
"And?"
"He's the captain of the lacrosse team," Lorelei could practically see his smirk.
"I know. Is that meant to be a big deal?" Lorelei was unsuccessfully trying to through them off Scott's scent.
"H-yeah. He's a werewolf. We need to talk to him," Lorelei was sure 'talk' meant 'kill and/or beat' him.
"I know. I'm dealing with it as we speak. There's no reason for you two to get involved," Lorelei childishly crossed her fingers.
"Okay," Lorelei heard Sam's voice pipe in, "If you're dealing with it its fine."
"Goodbye boys."
"Goodbye Lorelei."
Lorelei's shoulders hit her gym locker with a thud as she hung up. She needed to speak to Scott ASAP.
Lorelei stood at the back of the pack stretching her legs for the run. She could most likely outrun these guys by miles but that was only because of her training. Even without her endurance, Lorelei was fast. Like really fast.
She saw Scott and was about to go talk to him when coach blew the whistle.
Ethan and Aiden were standing next to Isaac and she could feel the tension as the twins bolted off. Isaac started to run when Scott put a hand on his shoulder.
"Isaac," Scott said with a slightly accusing note in his tone.
"It's them," With that Isaac bolted off leaving Scott to call out for Isaac to wait.
Lorelei saw Scott bolt and took after him rapidly advancing past the other runners. She finally caught back up with Scott and slowed down, not wanting him to see her yet. He was crouched behind a hill so Lorelei followed suit just a bit farther back. That's when she saw them.
Ethan barrelled into Isaac leaving an opening for Aiden to grapple him. The twins got on top of Isaac whose hands were held tightly behind his back and started speaking to him. Lorelei couldn't work out the words from her current position but she knew they had threatened him because she saw Scott sprint over and punch Aiden in the jaw.
Somehow In the next few seconds all the participants had blazing eyes, pointy canines and claws. Lorelei got ready to run out and help when she heard a scream. The others looked in the direction of the sound just as Lorelei stood up from her hiding spot. The werewolves started running towards the sound and Lorelei followed not caring how close she got.
She was running right next to Scott for a few seconds before he realised.
"Lorelei?" Scott looked slightly confused, "How long have you been following me?"
"We need to talk," Lorelei put on a serious face, keeping pace with Scott.
"About what?" Scott had slowed down slightly.
"About everything," Lorelei took advantage of his slowed pace and sprinted past him towards the crowd that was growing around a tree. She stopped beside Stiles and swore under her breath at the dead body tied to the tree. Scott arrived a second later and Stiles was still yet to notice Lorelei.
"It's him isn't it?" Stiles said it more like a statement then a question.
Lorelei looked at Scott and saw he was staring at the body with a look of recognition.
When the police arrived Lorelei stood back and waited down the bottom of the clearing, staring right at Scott. She saw Stiles talking to his father and the Coach called out something she couldn't hear. She looked away for a second and when she looked back Scott, Stiles and Isaac were walking straight towards her. Stiles and Isaac were obviously deep in conversation so she sat down on a log about a meter or two away from them.
She looked around while she was waiting for Scott to come talk to her. The twins stood to the side discussing something and a police officer was restraining the blonde from the locker room. She looked back over to where Scott was and saw Isaac walk away.
She started playing with her ponytail as Scott and Stiles walked over to her.
"Hey Stiles. Hey Scott, what brings you over to my little log?" Lorelei was trying to judge whether or not Scott had told Stiles yet.
"Yeah, why are we here?" So Scott hadn't told him yet.
"What did you want to talk about Lorelei? You're going to have to be more specific then 'everything' this time," Scott fixed her with a hard look.
"Do you really want to have this conversation here? With them," Lorelei nodded her head towards the twins, "Listening in."
She saw Scott tense at the mention of the twins and Stiles looked slightly confused.
"What, um, what do you mean by them listening? Their all the way over there," Stiles make a gesture with his hands demonstrating how far away they were.
"Cut the crap Stiles, I know. Meet me at my house, 10:30 tomorrow night. We don't want any unexpected guests coming around," She stood up and walked closer to the wonder boys.
"How do you know about all of this?" Stiles asked her with a cryptic look on his face.
"Well your just gunna have to wait and find out," With that she walked away from them towards the crime scene. She surveyed it again and saw nothing that screamed Werewolf.
"Miss Durmont. What are you doing here?" She turned around to see Sheriff Stilinski standing in front of her.
"I'm on the cross-country team. It's terrible what happened," She gestured to the body that was tied on the tree.
"Did you know him?" The Sheriff asked with a touch of concern.
"No, but his girlfriend is in my gym class," Lorelei bowed her head for a second, "I actually heard her talking about him going missing this morning."
"Okay, well if you hear anything else just call," Lorelei nodded and was about to walk away when the sheriff called her back, "I was wondering because of all the stuff that's happened, If you and your parents would like to come over to dinner sometime."
Lorelei hadn't been expecting that.
"My parents passed away. It's just my brothers and I now," Lorelei looked down at her feet.
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear about it. My wife passed away a few years ago and it hasn't been the same. Anyway the offer is still on the table if you wanted to bring your brothers," Lorelei felt a pang of empathy for Stiles and his dad.
"Their actually leaving today for a business trip," Lorelei said trying to steer the sheriff away from any touchy subjects.
"Really? Are you gunna be at home by yourself?" Crap, Lorelei thought, she hadn't thought about that.
"Only for a night or two, than my cousin is coming down to stay with me," Lorelei covered up her mistake as well as she could before changing the subject, "Oh, and I was wondering, if you don't mind my asking, If you have anything new with the Heather thing. It's just terrible what happened to her."
"Sorry but even if we did have anything new I couldn't tell you," He ran his fingers through his thinning hair, "Anyway, I think you're going now so I better leave you. Good bye Lorelei."
"Goodbye Sherriff," Lorelei turned and walked over to the group of people walking back to school grounds.
Scott had no doubt told Isaac because when she walked into chemistry, he was staring directly at her. She sat down in the seat closest to the door and started taking down the notes on the board.
Harris had started asking Danny a question, when Isaac bolted out of his seat.
" Mr. Harris, can I go to the bathroom please?" Harris signalled a yes and Isaac bolted out the door. Lorelei was just about to follow, when Scott stood up.
"I have to go to the bathroom too," Scott said eyes darted towards the door.
"One at a time," Mr Harris was just about to start again when Scott started talking again.
"But I really have to go. Like medical emergency have to go," Scott started rocking back and forth on the balls of his feet.
"Mr McCall, If your bladder was to suddenly explode and urine began to flow from every surface, I would still reply one at a time," Man Lorelei thought, this guy is a dick, but she took the opening Scott had made and quickly bolted out of the classroom.
She stuck her head around the corner and saw Aiden punch Ethan in the jaw. She pressed herself against the wall again and listened. Another few hits to one of the twins. She swung around the corner and grabbed Isaac just as Aidan slammed Ethan into a locker.
"What are you doing? Get back in class," Isaac whispered.
"Shut up and don't hate me," Lorelei whispered back as she swung a fist at Isaacs face. It hit right it the lip and it started to swell instantly.
"What the fu-"Lorelei punched him quickly in the nose, breaking it, just as Aiden was tossed down their end.
"Now it looks like a real fight," Lorelei whispered before hiding around a corner.
The classroom door burst open and Mr Harris walked out.
"What is this?" He asked looking down at the two bloody teenagers, "What's going on?"
Danny walked over to Ethan and helped him up.
"Are you alright?" Danny asked.
"He just came at me," Ethan said in fake confusion.
Lorelei walked out from the corner she was in.
"No he didn't. I saw you two talking, then you started getting angry and threw a punch at him. Hence the fat lips. It's not his fault you can't fight," Lorelei walked over and stood next to Isaac.
"Is this true Isaac?" Harris asked.
Isaac looked from Ethan to Lorelei.
"Yes Mr Harris," He said looking at his shoes.
"Ethan, go gets some ice. As for you two, lunch time detention," Harris turned to walk back in the room.
"Why do I have detention and not Ethan? I didn't hurt anyone," Lorelei said looking at Harris incredulously.
"Do you want to make it two Miss Durmont?" Harris said raising an eyebrow.
"No sir," Lorelei mumbled.
Lorelei walked into lunch time detention and sat in the only seat left. Right behind Isaac.
Harris started giving out tasks to people around the class. Lorelei was fine with it until he got to Isaac and her. He nodded to both of them.
"Restocking the janitor's closet."
Isaac stood up and started trying to persuade Harris into changing partners but the ass refused.
"I swear to god, I'm going to punch him in his ratty face one day," Lorelei mumbled under her breath.
They walked down the hall in silence, carrying supplies in their arms. Lorelei held the door open for Isaac and left it open behind them. She didn't like to admit it, but small spaces irritated her. They continued unpacking stuff in silence, occasionally bumping into one another. Lorelei looked over to Isaac.
"Are you okay?" She said trying to sound as calm as she could in the tiny room.
"Yeah, Yeah. I'm Just," He paused shelving a bottle, "Not a big fan of small spaces."
"Me either. They just bring back bad memories," Lorelei shivered remembering when she was chained up as a hostage by a few vampires in a tiny closet for three days.
"Yeah, they do," Isaac stopped for a second and stared at the wall. Lorelei thought best not to disturb him and started to shelf the paper towels again.
"Can I ask you a question?" Isaac said obviously out of his trance.
"Do you have to?" Lorelei replied getting slightly snappy because of her discomfort.
Isaac looked sideways at her.
"I guess not," He continued stocking then continued, "I'm gunna ask anyway."
Lorelei stopped and looked at him.
"Was it you at the school the other night?" Isaac asked staring her in the eye.
Lorelei remembered that these wolves could tell if you were lying so she chose her words carefully.
"Should I have been?" She said raising an eyebrow.
"No, you shouldn't have," he looked her in the eye again.
"Would you tell anyone if I was?" She asked.
"Why wouldn't I?"
"Because it would make me really happy," Lorelei put on a smile.
"Yeah, well, you being happy isn't really a big priority of mine right now."
"Why not?"
"Well you shot my friend for starters."
"Sorry."
"Was that an apology?"
"Would you accept an apology?"
He was just about to reply when the door slammed shut.
They spun around and ran to the door. Isaac started grabbing at the handle.
"No no."
"Is it opening?" Lorelei asked from behind him.
"No, there's something against it."
Lorelei started hyperventilating and pacing the room. Isaac took of his cardigan and Lorelei would have followed suite if she had one.
"Okay, just relax Lorelei. Just relax your fine. You're not in a wardrobe. It's just a supply closet," Lorelei heard Isaac banging on the door again.
Lorelei walked over to the door and started banging on it too, desperately trying to get rid of the memories. She felt Isaac stop beside her and looked at him. His eyes were glowing and his fangs were bared. Lorelei started backing up, remembering how one of the vampires had cornered her.
"Isaac?" He jumped at her as she said his name, tearing at her arm.
She saw a sudden burst of light and felt Isaac get lifted off her.
She saw that it was Scott but couldn't help the yelp that escaped her mouth.
"Axel! Axel help!"
She shrunk into the corner and slowly slid to the floor. She was close to tears when Scott helped her up.
"I'm okay. I'm fine," Lorelei said obviously lying as Scott inspected her bloody arm.
"I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean to do that," He was obviously terrified by what he had done and kept saying he was sorry.
"I'm fine. It's not his fault," Lorelei said kneeling down to look Isaac in the eyes, "It's not your fault."
"I guess now we know they want to do more than just get you angry," Scott said looking at Lorelei's arm, "They want to get someone hurt."
"So are we gunna do something?" Isaac asked.
"Yeah, were gunna get them angry," Scott said with a stern look on his face, "Really angry."
