NOTE – Just letting everyone know, although there short chapters this will be a long story. I can already feel it :) Hope you enjoy and feel free to review but I love that I have such a response to my story although I feel so dodgy with it ha ha. But any who, enjoy!
I'd managed to avoid Isaac all day; it's not that I was purposely avoiding him. But I just couldn't find him; I searched between class and throughout both lunches. Erica and Boyd had disappeared also; I sat with Stiles and Alison. Scott was gone too.
"Stiles breathe!" Alison demanded, to Stiles who was speaking a thousand miles an hour.
"Sorry, but seriously it doesn't make sense the ka... the thing that were speaking about makes no sense" he said, sighing.
I frowned "What doesn't make sense?" I offered, trying to join the conversation.
They both shook their heads and shrugged "Don't worry Elspeth, you've got enough on your plate" Alison said, patting my shoulder.
Clicking my tongue, I tapped my fingers against the desk trying to not snap at these two. I know they were trying to look out for me, but I mean seriously I'd had enough. There constant need to keep me out of the loop was beginning to frustrate the hell out of me.
Searching through my bag, I sighed. I'd left my chemistry book at home, glancing at the clock I shrugged. I had enough time to run back to the Argents grab my book and get back in time for class. Nobody wants to miss learning about chemical fusions! Looking to Stiles and Alison, I shot them a quick smile before standing up.
"I'll be back" I said, before heading out into the hallway.
I spotted Erica and Boyd walking down the hallway as if they were on a mission, I shrugged my bag over my shoulder looking at them. I guess they decided to make an appearance today. Pushing through the mass of kids, I made an effort of avoid Jackson who was chatting to Danny near his locker.
Slipping through the front doors of the school, I bounded down the steps and headed over to my car. Not paying attention, I had made it half way across the field before I noticed somebody leaning against my car.
"I get that it's a nice car, but seriously people will scratch the paint if they continue to lie all over it" I stated to the person.
Turning around, I felt the colour drain from my face. It was the guy from the car park, the creepy guy!
"Elspeth, so lovely of you to join me" he said, flashing a sarcastic smile.
"Tall guy, so nice of you to confront me again alone in a car park" I replied with the same smile.
He chuckled "I honestly don't see why everybody thinks they need to protect you" he stated, I laughed dryly.
"Thank-you! I get it, I know I'm short but seriously if anything the last week shows I can look after myself. Three times that thing has chased me and not once has it killed me" I ranted, he frowned and looked at me.
"Three times, when else have you been faced with the thing?" he asked, I looked at him and shrugged.
"Aw, ya know once at the Argents and once when I was out jogging" I stated, mentally punching myself for letting lose about what was chasing me that night.
"Have you ever killed anyone?" he asked abruptly.
Pulling back I frowned "No!" I snapped.
What the hell? Is this kid serious, because you know If I'd killed someone I could live my life out normally. I'm tough but I'm still pathetically weak at the same time. I can take something stalking me; I couldn't take the idea that I'd killed somebody...
He frowned and crossed his arms "How much do you know about the supernatural?" he asked, staring me down.
"Not much, I studied a few things about lycanthropy but other than that, zip" I replied, shrugging.
A smirk slowly spread across his face "Lycanthropy?" he asked, almost amused.
I shrugged and nodded "Yeah" I replied.
"Derek, I have to talk to you about the Kanima" Isaac called out, running out from what seemed like nowhere.
I frowned and turned to his voice, he spotted me only after he let that word slip. Kanima! That's what everybody has been speaking off, oh thank-you short frame for hiding me from his sight so I can know something about this town now! Slowing down, his eyes were widened and Derek was shooting him a glare.
"Kanima" I whispered to myself, Derek looked to me and laughed.
"What?" he said, I looked to him and frowned.
"Kanima, that's the big word everybody has been afraid to say to me?" I demanded, Isaac now by Derek's side.
"I don't know what you're talking about Elspeth" Isaac tried to lie.
"Are you serious? Of course you know what I'm talking about" I snapped.
"You know, I think I might actually understand now. Isaac, you should get to class" Derek stated calmly to him.
Shooting him a look, Isaac set his jaw and sighed "Come on Elspeth" he stated, grabbing my arm.
Shrugging away, I looked at him unimpressed "I actually was in the middle of something, but I'm sure you can go lie to somebody inside" I replied, indicating to the school.
"Elspeth" he hissed at me, looking at me almost pleading.
Pulling away, I pushed myself closer to Derek who I didn't want to be anywhere near.
"Good-bye Isaac, I'll be back in fifteen minutes" I replied, turning my attention to my bag rummaging through it to find my keys.
"She'll be fine Isaac" Derek stated, causing him to shrink back.
Ignoring them both, I had to get away from them. They were seriously upsetting me, I was going to basically go to the Argents get my chemistry book and then blow off final period and go and get some coffee and hide in a book store.
Slamming my car door shut when pulling up to the house, I was still fuming about everybody ignoring me and choosing to not tell me things. It was bull! Mumbling to myself, I flung open the front door and continued to mumble as I wondered upstairs.
"Chris, we can't keep leaving that child in the dark. You saw the two of them; it's bad enough we've made an exception for Scott. We can't make one for Isaac" my aunt hissed to my uncle.
Stopping my tracks when I heard his name, I listened intently.
"She has a chance; she doesn't have to be like us. Keeping her in the dark is what Natalie wanted, I'm going to keep her safe" my uncle hissed back.
"Her parents didn't give her that bracelet because it smells pretty Christopher, they were going to teach her" she retorted, looking to my bracelet I frowned.
This was confusing the hell out of me. Everyone was confusing me, making it evidently clear by swinging my door open loudly that I was home, I threw my bag onto my bed and scooped up my chemistry book.
Appearing beside my doorway, both my aunt and uncle smiled coolly towards me "Elspeth, I didn't know you had a free period today?"
"I don't I was feeling sick and decided to come home" I replied, sitting down and grabbing my laptop of its charger.
"Does the school know you're gone?" my uncle asked, I shook my head.
"No, see I don't like telling people things. I hide it from them and make them stupid for not understanding what is going on" I stated, staring at them both.
"Elspeth" my aunty started.
"We hope you feel better, I'll go get you some orange juice. Come on darling" my uncle interrupted her, dragging her away from my bedroom.
Waiting for my computer to load, I didn't wait too long before opening my browser and searching the word 'Kanima' and began reading about what the hell has been stalking.
