I knocked on Stiles's door after school and his father answered "Hi Sarah, I assume you're here for my son?" he asked, I chuckled and nodded "You assumed right, he told me to come over. It's okay right?" I asked hopefully, he nodded and moved out of the way so that I could walk in "It's no problem, the kid'll need some company while I'm at the parent/teacher meeting tonight" he said, I nodded
"He's upstairs, go on up" he said, I thanked him before walking up and knocking on Stiles's door "Well at least one of you guys know how to answer the phone" he said annoyed, I walked into his room and closed the door "Scott's still not answering?" I asked knowingly, he nodded and grabbed his phone "I have to show you something" he said sitting next to me on the bed, he handed me the phone and I stared at the screen, something smashed through a window and my eyes widened as I saw the bright red eyes that sped across the screen
"Oh my god, where did you get this?" I asked nervously "It's Lydia's phone, she must've recorded it last night" he said, I nodded and shook my head "Damn it" I hissed falling back onto the bed "You think he bit Jackson like he did you and Scott?" he asked taking the phone from me, I shook my head "I don't think so. I think Derek checked out Jackson today" I said sitting up and crossing my legs
"Derek was at the school?" he asked with wide eyes, I nodded "Yup, and Jackson's terrified of him" I said, Stiles nodded "I'm not surprised, but how do you know Jackson's scared of him?" he asked curiously, I winced and stood up "I'll tell you but please don't freak out, you're an' amazing friend to me and I don't want you mad" I said nervously, he nodded slowly "O..kay" he said, I sighed "I kind of threatened Jackson" I admitted, he shot up from the bed "What? Why did you do that?" he exclaimed
"Because I was at the video store last night and when I heard him insulting your dad I couldn't help but do something today" I said, he paused and gave me a confused look "You were at the video store?" he asked, I nodded "I was kinda on the roof with Derek and Scott, we knew it was the alpha" I explained, he nodded and smiled a little "You defended my dad?" he asked, I nodded "I saw how pissed you looked last night when he said all that stuff about your dad being a mininum wage rent-a-cop and I couldn't help myself" I said still a bit nervous,
he rolled his eyes "I'm not mad" he said "Really?" I asked surprised, he nodded "That was a nice thing what you did. But how did you exactly do it?" he asked narrowing his eyes, I sighed and walked around the room fiddling with random objects "I kind of lifted him off the ground by his throat" I admitted coughing afterwards "Sarah he could find out about you" he exclaimed, I sighed
"I know it was a stupid thing to do but I couldn't control myself. Please don't be mad at me" I begged, he sighed and sat down on the bed "I'm not mad, but I don't want you guys getting hurt or killed" he said worriedly, I nodded "I think he wet himself" I said trying to lighten things up "Really?" he asked chuckling, I nodded "Yeah. So how's Lydia doing?" I asked, he shrugged "She's high on loopy pills, she took them to keep her nerves calm. And she thinks it was a mountain lion she saw" he said, I nodded
"Fair enough, what are you gonna do about the video? We can't exactly leave it on her phone" I pointed out, he sighed and nodded "I know what to do" he muttered, he leaned forward while holding the phone in his hands and I knelt on the bed behind him to see what he was up to, he deleted the video and ran a hand through his short hair, I thought about my actions for a moment before I wrapped my arms around his waist and rested my head on his back, he tensed for a moment before relaxing and moving his arm up and wrapping it around my shoulder
"Our problems have really screwed you up haven't they?" I asked looking up at him, he smiled and shook his head "No, I'm happy to help" he replied, I sat up and sighed "Really? You can back out you know, let me and Scott deal with it on our own" I said "You want that?" he asked, I thought for a moment "No I don't, you were a big help for me when I didn't know what was going on and you're an' awesome friend. So no I don't want you to leave us alone, but it might keep you safe" I admitted
"If you haven't noticed by now that I tend to get myself in dangerous situations then you're a lot dumber than' I thought" he said, I laughed and rolled my eyes "Oh I noticed that a long time ago. But are you absolutely sure you want to help us with this?" I asked, he nodded "Positive" he said shrugging, I nodded and realised the position we were in "Sorry" I mumbled pulling my arms away, he nodded "Yeah me too" he said awkwardly, I heard a phone start to vibrate and I realised it was mine on the computer desk
"Yeah?" I asked "Sarah it's mom, have you seen your brother?" she asked hopefully "Nope, not since school why?" I asked curiously "Because he was supposed to meet me here 20 minutes ago and he hasn't shown up" she said, I sighed "Sorry mom I don't know where he is. Tell you what I'll be there as soon as I can" I said "Thanks Sarah" she said, I hung up and turned to face Stiles "Can you give me a ride to school? Scott hasn't turned up for the meeting" I said dissapointed, he nodded and grabbed his jeep keys off the desk "Let's go" he said as we left the bedroom.
Once we arrived at school it was almost dark "You gonna be okay?" he asked worriedly, I smiled and nodded "Yeah I'll be fine, I'm more worried about what's going on in that head of your's" I replied, he chucked "Don't you worry about my head, it's as goos as it can get" he said, I nodded and gave him a quicky hug "Later Stiles" I said before getting out of the car, he took off and I found the car park empty "Looks like I'm waiting" I sighed sitting on the fire exit door steps.
After a while of waiting my mom finally exited the school looking more than' pissed, she was on the phone and I guessed she was trying to get hold of Scott "Mom you okay?" I asked, she nodded and hung up the phone "Yeah, your brother is going to get his ass seriously grounded" she said, I nodded "Kinda guessed that" I said rubbing my arms, I regretted not bringing a jacket at the moment, my legs were cold and so were my arms "Are those Alison's parents?" Mom asked pointing behind me,
I tensed as Alison's mom and dad walked out of the school looking about as angry as my mom right now "Excuse me you're not Alison's parents are you? I'm Scott's mom and I hate to say it but he's not answering his phone either" mom said "You're his mother?" Mr Argent asked with a tone "Funny how you say that like it's an' acusation" Mom said "Well I wouldn't claim it as a source of pride since he basically kidnapped my daughter today" he replied "How do we know skipping school wasn't your daughters idea?" Mom asked
"My daughter..." Mr Argent glanced behind us and sighed "Is right there" he finished, I turned around to see Scott and Alison get out of her car "Where exactly have you been?" Mom asked as we reached them "No where mom" Scott replied "No where meaning not at school" she said angrily "Look it's not his fault it was my birthday and..." Alison paused at the sight of her angry parents "Alison, in the car" Mr Argent demanded, a loud scream was heard and we all looked to see people running around and rushing into their cars
"Scott you don't think..." he looked at me and I paused not wanting to hint anything to the hunters "I don't know, let's go look" he whispered knowing I would hear him, I walked one way while he walked the other, I looked around and tried to find the reason for everybody's screaming but it was quiet difficult with the amount of people here, I heard a loud growling and I spun around, it didn't sound like the usual wolf growl but I couldn't judge really "Look out" someone exclaimed, I looked behind me in time to see a car reverse into Sherrif Stilinski knocking him to the ground,
I gasped and rushed over "You okay?" I asked, he nodded but winced a bit "I'm good" he said reasuringly, I heard the growling but it was louder and closer, he pulled out his gun at the same time two loud shots rang out, I noticed everybody walking towards something "I'm gonna go check it out" I told Stiles's dad, he nodded and I followed everyone towards the source of the shots,
I paused once I saw Mr Argen staring at something with a gun in his hand, I could smell blood so I pushed my way through the crowd, once I got to the front I sighed in relief at the sight of a mountain lion...the last thing we needed was the town finding out about werewolves, I looked over at Scott who nodded at me, I sighed but nodded back and turned to face the now dead lion.
