Grey – Chapter 3
Cassern
Logan's POV
I've been driving for a while, I finally see the welcome sign for Beacon Hills and the second I drove in; I felt this energy. I know Julian felt it because I see from my peripheral that he's siphoning "What are you doing?" I ask "Nothing." He answers as he stops. I chuckle "You feel it, don't you?" I ask, "I felt it the second we rode in. This town is brimming with supernatural energy and probably magic." Julian said. I can't believe they would exile a teenage boy, my brother, being a different kind of witch. So what, he has an unusual ability that worries me sometimes but that's what I made the ring for, so that he wouldn't feel the need to siphon unless he wanted to. We move into our new house and unpack everything then we go to bed, because tomorrow I have to be sworn in as a Deputy and Julian has school.
The next morning, I dropped Julian off at school. I drive to the Sheriff's Station, it seems pretty busy in here I wonder what happened. I walk up to front desk "Hi, I'm Logan Grey. I'm the new Deputy that's suppose to start today." I say. The Woman Deputy looks up and smiles "Well, Logan, you chose a heck of a day to be a deputy." She said, I raise an eyebrow.
They get me a uniform, a badge, and a gun with some other things. My uniform is bit tight. The Sheriff approaches me "Hey, Logan Grey, right?" He asks "Yes, sir." I answer "I want, you and Parrish to sit on a crime scene." He tells me, I nod "Yes, Sheriff." I say. A young Deputy about my age approaches me "Jordan Parrish." He said with his hand out for me to shake "Logan Grey." I say as I shake his hand.
Parrish and I sit at the crime scene as we look through photos of the crime scene, a whole family murdered, gruesome "Hey, did you see that?" Parrish asks "What?" I ask back, I didn't see anything but he look ready to go "Want to check it out?" I ask, he nods. We both get out of the car and we pull out our guns. We step inside the house "Beacon County Sheriff's Department! This is a crime scene. Show yourself." Parrish said. A red-haired girl makes her appearance known, I lower my gun and put it back in my holster, Parrish does the same "I would try to explain it, but… I've never gotten a satisfactory explanation myself." She said "Just an unusual habit of showing up at places people have been brutally murdered?" Parrish asks, I raise an eyebrow.
"Are you saying I have a reputation?" She asks "Um, sorry to interrupt, but who is she?" I ask Parrish "Oh, sorry, this is Lydia. Lydia, this is Logan. He the new Deputy who started today." Parrish said "So, she has a reputation?" I ask "Yes, an unusual one. Maybe she's psychic." Parrish said, I chuckle, yeah maybe. The only psychics I've met are con-artists. I don't think she's psychic but she's definitely something supernatural, I can feel it. Not a witch but something "Don't tell me you believe all that?" Lydia asks as we walk through the house with her "I'd like to say I don't believe in anything. But I keep an open mind. But, if you're looking for dead bodies, I think you're too late." Parrish said.
Lydia examines the wood panel wall, she presses her hand against it and it opens. Parrish and I go in, it looks like a meat locker "I think it's a game locker. Like venison. Hunting's legal in some parts of the state, but…" Parrish said, I know why he stopped talking because these aren't venison "What is it?" Lydia asks by the door "It's not venison." Parrish answers, it's people. A whole family murdered but they had a secret meat locker full of bodies, this seems familiar. Cannibals, possibly supernatural cannibals, wendigos.
The Sheriff wants me to back up a Deputy at the hospital, guarding the son of the murdered family; he's probably a wendigo too. I'm walking to the entrance of the hospital when my phone rings, it's Julian, I answer it "Logan." He said over the phone "What's up Little Bro. How was school?" I ask "Boring. But, there is something interesting that happened. I think there's a local pack here." Julian said.
I shouldn't be surprised "And what makes you say?" I ask "Because I saw a wolf, she sniffed me out but I don't think knew what I was. Her eyes glowed blue." Julian answers. I've researched werewolves, I'm surprised a blue eyed one is in a pack "Meet me at the hospital, I'm guarding a patient… I'll tell you more when you get here." I say then I hang up.
Julian gets to the hospital, he sees me and starts to stifle a laugh, I know my uniform is a bit tight; I glare at him "Stop laughing and come on." I say. We take the elevator to the second floor, I tell him about the family of wendigos that were murdered and that I'm guarding the Son along with another Deputy. When we get to the second floor, we see a nurse being dragged into the patient's room. We run to the room and see the nurse about to get eaten by the wendigo "Motus." Julian chants, moving the nurse away from the wendigo, I catch her.
The wendigo charges at Julian, he gives it the pain affliction spell then a teenage boy comes out of nowhere and knocks away the wendigo, it runs away. The teen checks on the nurse then he runs in the direction of the wendigo. Julian looks at me "Go, I'll stay here with her and for god's sake, be careful." I tell him, he goes off in their direction. I look at the nurse "Are you alright, ma'am?" I ask, she nods. I check the wendigo's room, there's a dead deputy. I grab my walkie "Dispatch, this Deputy Grey. I have an officer down, I repeat, officer down at Beacon Hill Memorial Hospital." I say into the walkie.
A helicopter is flying over the hospital and Deputies all around the roof. Deputies photographing the crime scene, I'm standing near Parrish and Sheriff Stilinski "Hey, let's go get everyone off the roof. And see if you can stall the M.E. for five minutes. I've got an expert of my own coming to take a look." Sheriff said. Parrish gives the Sheriff a look "You have an expert on teenage cannibals?" Parrish asks "Five minutes, Parrish. Grey." Sheriff said.
As we walk away I see someone around my age walking towards the Sheriff, I guess he's the 'expert'. He turns around and glances at me, his eyes flash yellow then he turns around and continues to walk towards the Sheriff. Another werewolf, I wonder if the Sheriff knows… I doubt it.
The next morning, I drop Julian off at school and start my shift. When I enter the station the Sheriff glances at me strangely "Sheriff, did you need something?" I ask "Uh… no, get ready for patrol." He said, I nod "Yes, sir." I say. I've been on patrol for a while, almost time for lunch so I start up my car and tell dispatch I'm taking my lunch then I drive home. When I get home, I start to make lunch, I hear the front door open, Julian's home "Hey, Little Bro. Was school boring again?" I ask amused "Not really, I met the alpha today. His name is Scott." Julian answers "That kid who charged at the wendigo?" I ask, that Scott kid's a werewolf and an alpha, how did that happen? "Yeah." Julian answers "So, does he know what you are?" I ask "Yes, because I told him and so does the Sheriff's kid. He's friends with him, I think." Julian answers.
I stop what I'm doing, the Sheriff's kid who is friends with the alpha; there's no way the Sheriff doesn't know… I think he knows. I turn around and I sigh "I think the Sheriff knows about the supernatural." I say "Oh. Why do you say that?" Julian asks "Because at work he kept giving me sideway glances as if he was afraid something would happen." I answer.
I sigh again, this is gonna be a long day "I have to get back to work, see ya later, Little Bro." I say "Yeah, see ya later and good luck, I guess." Julian said. I sigh yet again then I leave. I get back to the station and Sheriff Stilinski, Parrish, and the 'Expert' are in his office, I wonder what there up to, anyways. I'm at my desk doing some paperwork when I see a shadow over me, I look up and it's the 'expert'. I smile "What can I do for you, sir?" I ask, he stares at me for a moment "My Mother told me about your kind, she told me that most of them had an earthy scent. She was right" He said. I chuckle "Logan Grey." I say "Derek Hale." He said then he leaves with the Sheriff and I go back to my paperwork.
The next night, there was an attempted murder at the school "What happened?" I hear Julian ask, he nearly made me jump in surprise. I forget how sneaky he can be and he seems to be in a mood "Hello to you too, Little Bro." I say "Hello, Logan. What happened?" He asks again "Attempted murder." I answer, Julian starts to head towards the locker area but I stop him "Where are you going?" I ask "I was going—" Julian said as he turns around and looks at me. I give him a serious look then he sighs "I was going home." Julian said, I smile "Good." I say. Julian walks away groaning.
The next morning, I'm at the station when I see Lydia and a teenage boy enter the station. They approach Parrish and they go into the Sheriff's office but the boy approaches me "Hi, may I help you?" I ask "Um… hi, I'm Stiles Stilinski." He said. The Sheriff's kid "Oh, your Dad isn't here yet but—" I say "I know… um can we talk?" He asks, I raise an eyebrow "Sure, okay." I answer, I wonder what this is about?
I follow him to his Dad's office, they show Parrish and I, a list. It's a hit list for supernatural creatures, I see the alpha's name on it then I see… why is my Brother's name on it "Why is Julian's name on this list?" I ask visibly angry "Um… I... I don't know." Stiles answers nervously. I took a deep breath trying to calm down, I hand them back the list. I get up, leave the Sheriff's office and go back to my desk. How could Julian not say anything to me about this?
After my shift was over, I get home and see Julian laid out on the couch in the living room with junk food everywhere. There's someone else laid out on the couch with him… oh, great… his stalker, I mean… his 'best friend'. So, he says, he's been obsessed with my brother ever since they met. Despite the rivalry between our families. I go upstairs and call it a night, I'll confront Julian in the morning.
