A/N: Thanks for the reviews, alerts, messages, etc. Love you guys. I have decided to reveal the identity of the Wendigo in the next chapter, but this chapter will eliminate some of the suspects. Hope you enjoy it. Here's chapter eleven!
CHAPTER ELEVEN: THE HUNT IS ON
It was now Monday and Stiles had spent most of the weekend with Derek both embracing him and contemplating what to do about the Wendigo with Lydia. She had basically told them that she was going to help and there was nothing they could do about it.
Derek told him to accept her help and that both of them should use their brainpower to be teenage detectives and discover the identity of the Wendigo together. He said they'd make a great team. Stiles agreed with him that he would definitely need Lydia's help. She was smart and he was investigative and the two of them could play this werewolf version of Clue together and win definitely.
Stiles pulled up to school and put his Jeep in park before exiting with his bag in hand and found Lydia waiting for him outside of the school's main office building. "I stuck to the plan. Good morning, Stiles." She told him with a smile. "Good morning to you, Lydia." He told her. "How was your weekend?" He asked. "Oh, fine. I'm basically on house arrest for my mother so I don't get a scratch. Spent most of the time in my bed, resting." Lydia told him with a slight frown on her lips."That sounds pretty boring." He told her with a chuckle. "Well, my life can't be as exciting as yours with your steamy werewolf romance." She joked causing Stiles to bump into her suddenly. "Sorry, I didn't see you there. Too much hot air in my face." He joked. "Really, I didn't notice you there I thought you were a devil by the amount of blush on your cheeks from my statement." She joked was like the two were long-lost best friends that had just reunited with each other. He liked how they were getting along. He seemed to be getting along better with girls these days. He had becoming pretty close to Allison as well. She had asked him who the new person in his life was over the weekend and he admitted the truth to her and got an encouraging hug from his new friend.
It was like everyone could care less he was with a boy. They must have known that Derek and he were perfect for each other. And that's all both of the men needed. It's actually all they had ever truly wanted. Lydia and Stiles continued to walk down the hall until she stopped at her locker where Jackson was waiting to talk to her about the weeks before they broke up.
She listened to him and told him that for the time being she needed space, but they could still be friends. Jackson, to her surprise, accepted that fact and told her he would love to be friends with her. She was happy he had changed so greatly from the werewolf bite. He had become a better person to everyone and had also greatly accepted Stiles and Derek's new relationship.
"Well, I'm surprised at how much he's changed in three months." Lydia told Stiles who had waited for her like a gentlemen. "Yeah, he's been really great to everyone in the 'pack' for the last two months after he gained control of the wolf with help from me and Scott in the first." He explained to her with a smile happy that he had another male friend as well as two new female friends. He was happy that Danny was accepting him after he had admitted he was attracted to a man.
That talk went well. Danny had told Stiles that no one needed to know unless he wanted them to know. Stiles was grateful to have such a good influence on his bisexuality and feelings. Danny was great, and he had become a new member of their little clique, that Stiles liked to call "The Pack." Lydia and Stiles entered their chemistry classroom to see Coach Finstock sitting in the chair causing them to both gape their mouths open in shock.
"Don't look so shocked!" The Coach screamed out. "I'm just here until they can find a replacement for Mr. Harris." Lydia and Stiles looked at each other in confusion. "Didn't you hear about it?" Finstock asked with surprise in his voice as if they should've known what he was speaking about. "Hear about what?" Stiles asked the man.
"Danny found Mr. Harris's body last night. It was pretty bad he was attacked by a wild animal. Danny isn't here either, he's been pretty traumatized by the incident." Finstock told them in a gossipy tone. "So, Mr. Harris is dead." Stiles said with a shaking in his voice.
He had always wished the chemistry teacher dead several times in the past, but never really expected him to die. "Yeah, his funeral is sometime this weekend." Finstock finished. "Take your seats now, class is starting soon." Stiles and Lydia did as instructed as the bell rang.
They both looked at each other thinking the same thing. Danny found the body. He found Mr. Harris dead. Does this mean he was the Wendigo? "We're going to find out if he is or not." Lydia answered the questions in their heads out loud. Stiles knew she was going to make sure no matter what happened next.
