Teen Beasts 🐾 S.S.

The Last Chimera part 2

Stiles was walking down the hall like a man on a mission as Virgil was a step behind him, pissed.

"Where do you think you're going?" Virgil asked after him.

"Look, I get that you want answers, but I don't have time to play 20 questions right now."

Stiles reached the elevator and hit the button and his eyes flew to the floor indicator on the side. He saw that he was on the 7th floor and the elevator was currently on the 3rd.

"What's the sudden rush?"

For Stiles, the rush was that he recalled the last memory he could remember clearly. When he was trying to get through a mountain ash barrier where his father was trapped and hurt.

"Ahh," Stiles groaned, keeping his eye on the indicator. The elevator started moving but it wasn't coming up. It was heading down and stopped at the lobby. "Forget this," Stiles impatiently huffed before he took off for the stairs.

"Whoa, wait a minute," Virgil called out.

"My dad might not have a minute," he spat back at him.

Virgil deflated as he stared back. "Sheriff Stilinski?"

Stiles then kept thundering down the stairs before he suddenly stopped at the fourth floor landing. He picked up a familiar scent. "No way," he muttered.

Stiles then moved to head off into the 4th floor hallways, with Virgil asking where he is going. Stiles followed the scent and found someone heading right for one of the doors, fumbling with his keys. He couldn't believe it.

"Zach!" he called out, startling the chimera and making him drop his keys.

He then turned and froze at the sight of him. "Stiles!" He then looked over behind him and his eyes narrowed in confusion. "Virgil?"

Virgil widened his eyes. "Zach?"

Stiles looked between the two of them. "Wait, how do you guys know each other?"

"You two know each other?" asked Zach.

"Both of you know each other?" Virgil asked, pointing his finger between the two of them. "What's going on here?"

Stiles shook his head. "Zach, what are you doing here?"

"Uh, I live here." He then narrowed his eyes at him. "By the way Stiles, thanks for just leaving me at the station all night after you took my car. Which I somehow managed to find, with the engine running. My car ran dry on me about twenty minutes in. By the time I managed to push it to the nearest gas station, the sun was up. I only just got back."

"Wait, you found your car. So you were there, at the abandoned house?"

"You mean the creepy place those Dread Doctors had me locked up in their basement cage, yeah. Great place to leave it by the way."

"How did you know to go there?"

Zach blinked. "I...I don't know. I just had this, feeling and the next thing I knew, I was there. And I don't know why but I went inside and I found this all there."

He then revealed a small plastic bag. He opened it up to reveal pieces of torn up clothing. Stiles' clothes.

"Wait, you were in the basement? Did you see anyone else there?" he asked, almost desperately.

Zach shook his head. "No, there was nobody. I did find quite a bit blood though, and really big footprints. They looked like paw prints, and they were made in blood."

Stiles' breathing began to quicken. Did he do something to his father while he had been...changed? "I have to go try and find my father."

"He's at the hospital," Zach said before he could move more than a step out of there.
