Chapter 03: Howl at the Moon
Scott headed back towards his house while Taylor changed directions heading towards the hospital while still listening to the elements. Sometimes being an elemental had its downside, hearing everything and nothing at the same time. Taylor stopped outside the hospital, she knew that 3AM was too early to be visiting but she also knew that Melissa would understand.
"Deputy Hewitt?" Melissa questioned, looking up as Taylor stepped into the emergency room.
"It's Taylor, I'm off duty. But can I talk to you in with Jordan?" Taylor replied, smiling as Melissa stepped around the nurses station. "It's a little...uh..." Taylor paused and said the last part of her sentence with the wind. "Supernatural issue,"
"Come this way," Melissa smiled, nodding and motioning for Taylor to follow her into Jordan's room. Melissa and Taylor stepped into Jordan's room and quietly closed the door behind them. "I don't know much about the supernatural world but what's wrong?"
"I'm not entirely sure...but both Scott and I heard something it was coming from one direct at first and then suddenly the direction it came from changed," Taylor answered, Melissa raised her eyebrow at her wondering what she meant. "Where's Deputy Haigh?"
"He was here a few minutes ago. You want to get Jordan out?" Melissa questioned, Taylor nodded glancing at Jordan who was only half awake. Melissa nodded, not that it was something that she should be doing, but if there was an unknown threat against them they needed to do something. "I shouldn't be doing this but, bring him back in,"
"Hey," Jordan muttered yawning after hearing the two women talking at his bedside. "I know I said morning...but this is ridiculous,"
"Oh shush, you're getting out early...the human you got hurt and the other you is refusing to heal you," Taylor smiled as he sat up before she decided on kissing him. "We're heading to the McCall's,"
"You two? Does the Sheriff know?" Melissa questioned, looking between the two of them before she walked out of the room and headed to the nurses station.
Taylor helped Jordan back into his clothes, laughing when she realised that she should probably go home and get him some fresh clothing. Melissa walked back in at that moment with discharge papers and medication that he had to take until it was healed. Jordan raised an eyebrow looking between the two of them, ultimately taking the bag of medication from Melissa and signing the papers.
"Hang here for five-ten minutes and I'll be back," Taylor said before she walked from the room and out the doors of the emergency department making sure no one was watching before she disappeared with the wind. "You two are still here?" Taylor questioned, the second she reappeared in the house and saw that Corey and Mason were moving slowly.
"We were moving but its early and we want to sleep," Mason yawned looking at his sister and then at Corey who nodded in agreement. "What are you doing?"
"Came home to get some clothes for Jordan so that we can all head to the McCall's," Taylor answered, walking into the bedroom and grabbing a bag and throwing in some clean clothes for Jordan. "Go get in the car, you can come with me to pick him up,"
"Taylor! Can't I just go back to bed please?" Mason yawned again, running a hand over his face as he caught Corey who looked like he was about to topple over. "You okay?"
"Not really," Corey muttered, yawning and almost disappearing in the process. Mason went wide eyed as Taylor took hold of Corey's hand and squeezed it gently letting him know that it was okay.
"Go hop in the car, Mase I'll tell mom in the morning that you're not well and that you're staying home from school today," Taylor smiled at both boys motioning for them to leave their school things at the house.
Mason and Corey climbed in the car both sitting in the back, while Taylor locked up the house and climbed in the front before taking them to the hospital. Mason and Corey stayed in the car while Taylor went back into the hospital with Jordan's clothes. Jordan was half asleep in the wheelchair that Melissa had helped him into when Taylor walked back into the hospital.
"Hey you," Taylor smiled, tossing the bag of clothes into Jordan's lap before helping him up. Jordan muttered something that she didn't quite catch. "Grabbed you a pair of sweats a T-shirt and hoodie," Taylor watched as Jordan struggled to put the sweats on without wincing in pain. "You want some help?"
"You wait till you see me in pain before asking? What kind of girlfriend are you?" Jordan said before letting Taylor help him into the sweats and T-shirt, before pulling the hoodie on himself. "Thanks," Jordan smiled, resting his head against her shoulder forcing her to take the bag.
"The best kind," Taylor smirked, as he kissed her before sitting back in the wheelchair.
"How's Mason and Corey?" Jordan questioned, as Taylor pushed him from the hospital and headed to her car.
"In the car, Corey's shaken up. Mase, well he doesn't know what to do," Taylor answered, as they stopped at the car and she helped him in. "While the other you is refusing to heal you're not doing any shit,"
"You know they're lucky to have you," Jordan told her as they both stopped moving and heard a howl. "What was that?"
"That's why we need to head to Scott's," Taylor answered before she spoke again. "Scott if you heard that don't go to it, it's not real," Taylor let the wind carry the message and wasn't surprised when she heard Mason's phone ringing a second later.
Mason looked at Taylor as she climbed in the car, whilst pulling his phone from his pocket and fumbling to put it on silent before he looked at the name. Jordan threw his head back against the headrest of the seat as Taylor put the car into motion. Mason put Scott on speaker and held it between the seats.
"What do you mean it's not real?" Scott questioned, he was sitting in the living room of his house with Liam, Malia, Lydia, Kira and Stiles.
"It's man made, I'll explain when we get there," Taylor answered, before she heard the click of Scott hanging up but not before hearing everyone questioning how she knew.
"Tay, what was that sound?" Jordan yawned, watching as Taylor glanced into the back seat where Corey was leaning against Mason with his eyes closed.
"Something, I'm not entirely sure," Taylor answered, the drive to Scott's house was twenty minutes from Taylor and Jordan's. "I'll investigate it with Scott,"
"Okay, well we still need to talk in the morning," Jordan muttered, closing his eyes as Taylor continued the drive before pulling up out the front of Scott's house and parking behind Stiles' Jeep.
"Lets get the three of you inside hey?" Taylor switched off the car, and started to open the door finding that Liam had practically yanked open the back passenger door. "Liam," there was a scolding tone to her voice as the beta looked at her.
"Sorry...Tay," Liam said sheepishly as he looked to Taylor and then at Mason and Corey.
"Easy with my baby," Taylor laughed, her car was old but didn't look it and sometimes Liam thought that Taylor was referring to Mason when she said baby. "The car Liam, the car,"
Mason laughed climbing out of the car and then leaning back in and helping Corey out as the rest of the McCall pack walked outside in various stages of wearing pyjamas. Stiles was completely in his, Lydia had pyjama bottoms and a singlet, while Malia looked to be wearing one of Scott's shirts, Liam seemed to have been mid way between changing back into his and Kira didn't look like she had bothered at all.
"Why hasn't Parrish healed?" Scott asked, watching Taylor helped Jordan out of the car and noticed the smallest bit of blood seeping through the shirt.
"His other self has decided not to heal," Taylor answered, before Scott took over helping Jordan inside while Taylor walked over to Corey. "Sweetpea?"
"I'm okay..." Corey mumbled, stumbling slightly as Mason moved too fast for him to keep up. "Mase...slow down a little?"
"Mase, go inside with the others I'll help Corey okay?" Taylor questioned, Mason nodded reluctantly before heading into the McCall house with the others. "You know it's okay to say something other than okay," Taylor smiled at him before they went into the house and found that Scott had made it so that Mason and Corey could have the sofa.
"Scott helped Jordan up into the guest bedroom," Stiles announced the second that Taylor and Corey were in the house and Corey was safely on the sofa with Mason. "I knew something was up between you two!" Stiles added, Lydia rolled her eyes and put an arm around Stiles.
"That's because Jordan told you to stop trying to play match maker with Derek!" Taylor laughed, she remembered the day that Stiles had walked into the station and promptly told Jordan that he should go on a date with Derek.
"Stiles tried to set Jordan and Derek up?" Malia questioned, looking between Stiles and Taylor before setting herself down in a beanbag.
"Yeah, anyway! If any of you hear a strange yelp sound tonight do not go to it," Taylor said, she was silently hoping that none of them ha heard the sound at all.
"Scotty said the same thing," Stiles said as he sat on the single sofa and pulled Lydia down with him.
Taylor looked at the group of teenagers as Scott walked from the guest room and motioned for her to join him in his room. Taylor nodded before making her way up the stairs following Scott to his room. Scott and Taylor sat on his bed, with Scott looking at her before he spoke.
"What was making that sound?" Scott asked, once they were alone again he didn't really care if the others listened in on their conversation.
"I can't be entirely sure, but I think it was a recording," Taylor answered, thinking back to the number of times the sound changed directions that it was coming from. "It's like it was planned,"
"What are you suggesting we do? Go running again to see if we can find the source?" Scott questioned, running a hand sleepily over his face. He didn't have school the next day only a shift at Animal Clinic with Deaton.
"Yeah but no splitting up...I mean we can but I'd rather not," Taylor said, looking to Scott as he yawned again. "You know we don't have to do it tonight,"
"Lets do it tonight, we need to find it before anyone gets hurt," Scott said, before he tilted his head towards the door and heard Liam's heart beat right outside. "Liam go to sleep you still have school,"
"Why?" Liam complained through the door though they heard his footsteps going back down the hall and stairs into the living room.
"Make them stay, you have to. I'll meet you outside in five," Taylor said while Scott nodded before the two of them left the room, Scott motioning to the guest room where Jordan was.
"How long have you and Parrish been a thing for?" Scott asked as Taylor opened the guest room door.
"Maybe three years...I was there when he 'died' but that's a story for another time," Taylor answered walking into the room and closing the door behind her and making her way over to Jordan.
In the living room Malia moved to pull Scott down with her into the beanbag only for him to shake his head. Corey and Mason had fallen asleep on the sofa with Liam laying on the floor next to them, he'd smartly taken his pillow. Stiles and Lydia were laying together on the love-seat, with Stiles holding Lydia close. Kira had curled up in the single seat sofa.
"You guys need to stay here, I know you can look after yourselves but we don't know what it is," Scott said, he was glad that they were all in their pyjamas and that Jordan was in the house. "Stiles before you say anything...you, Liam and Mason have known her the longest,"
"But we didn't didn't know that she was like supernatural," Stiles countered, glaring at his best-friend as Liam stuck his head up over the coffee table.
"So? How long has she been working for your old man?" Scott questioned, as Liam mumbled something incoherently about him being too loud.
"She's been there like three years I think," Liam muttered before collapsing back onto the pillow and covering his head. "If you're making me go to school I want sleep,"
"She started when before we started High School I know that much," Stiles added before Lydia turned around and put her finger to his lips effectively shushing him. "Just don't howl at the moon," Stiles said around Lydia's finger. Scott rolled his eyes at him before leaning down and kissing Malia.
"We'll be back in an hour or so,"
