When I Believed in Love

Chapter Seven: Strange Frequencies

Theo's POV

Scott, Malia and I were entering the hospital to find Lydia, Stiles and hopefully Leanne too. She went missing after the classes were over. I couldn't help but worry about what happened to her. I swear if it's the Dread Doctors I will kill them myself. Malia and I went to find Lydia and Stiles, while Scott went to look for his mother.

I was walking around the hospital, searching for Stiles. I couldn't find him anywhere. When I was about to go back to the lobby, I heard some shuffling above. I frowned. This floor is the last one before the rooftop. Nobody really goes there. I listened a bit closely. The shuffling was definitely coming from above. Something wasn't right. I turned back towards the staircase, since the elevator doesn't go further than this floor, and went up to the rooftop. Once I got there, I opened the door and walked on the roof area. Not so long after, I heard a loud growl and someone struggling. I ran towards the sounds. Soon I stopped. In front of me was the chimera, who was attacking Stiles. I quickly transformed into my werewolf look and gritted my fangs. Then I hurried to them and snatched the chimera's arm. I growled at him and threw across the roof area.

This lead to a huge fight between us. I tried my best to keep him away from Stiles. As we continued fighting I got carried away and without realising it, I grabbed him by the throat and ripped it from his body. I let go of him as he fell to the ground, dead. Soon I realised what I did. I killed him. Panicked, I looked up at Stiles.

"Stiles. You can't say anything.", he continued to look at the body, then looked up at me, scarred. "Please, don't say anything.", I said desperately.

"Why not?", He asked, avoiding eye contact. I knew if he said something, I could loose everything. The pack. Scott's trust. And most importantly, I could loose Leanne. I didn't know what to say on the spot, so I answered with the first thing that came into my mind.

"Because I never said anything about Donovan.", I knew I hit a nerve as I said that. He finally made eye contact and looked shocked, so I continued. "I know what happened to Donovan. I know everything...", before I could continue, he pushed me backwards until my back hit the fence which was keeping the electric stall from human touch.

"You don't know anything.", he said clenching his jaw, yet he was still terrified. I grabbed his arms and pushed him against the fence.

"I was there. I was at the library.", I started to get angry. "Malia found the book. She was texting us to see where you were. She said she left you at the library. I told her I was close. When I got there, I heard the scaffolding come down."

"You saw him?", he asked, as I started to calm down.

"Just he body.", I answered, and let go of him, taking a step back. "I watched you come out. I was gonna say something but then I saw the cop car. The body was gone. I don't know who took him. I only saw what you saw, and I didn't say anything because you didn't.", after I finished, we both heard a siren alarm going off. "That's not an ambulance, is it?", he just shook his and started to walk towards the body, but I stopped him. "We should get out of here."

"We can't just leave him.", he said. I started to get frustrated.

"Fine. All right, let's take him.", I said, and he kept looking at me. "Someone's stealing the bodies anyway, right? Here's our chance to find out who.", he turned to look at the body, doubtful. "Stiles, come on. We gotta do something.", he frowned.

"You killed him.", he whispered.

"In self-defence.", I stated, but he still didn't believe me. "He was going to kill you and me. If we stay, we're either going to have to tell the truth or we're going to need a pretty convincing story. It's your choice. I'm not going to ask you to lie to your dad.", I ended.
