Chapter 15 - Another dead body

Lexie

It's been days since the Alpha Pack killed Boyd, or well, since Derek killed Boyd. And he's been awol since. A few days ago Sabrina went with Stiles to talk to Cora and Peter whilst I went with Scott and Allison to see the evil, conniving Gerard Argent. He told us about a time when Derek was a teenager and how Deucalion went blind and asked us about mythology.

Most storied that I already knew. He also talked about Druids and emissaries and stuff that I have already researched and seen in the Bestiary. So that was really no help at well. Sabrina did get some information from Peter though, although it may be incorrect, he said that Derek had fell in love with some girl in high school and then used an Alpha - Ennis specifically - to turn her. 

The bite didn't take and she died. And that's why Derek's eyes were blue before he became an Alpha. That all seemed like some important information, but how reliable was it, you know since it was coming from the devious Peter Hale. It didn't matter anyway because people have just been letting Derek keep to himself. Which is very stupid, since there are questions that needed to be answered by him. 

Now though, I was at the school. Doing something very, very stupid. So I called the one person who would be able to help me. Sabrina. Rather than calling the one person I should be calling, that person being Stiles. It was late on Wednesday night, and my banshee senses were through the roof. The thing where I appeared at places where dead bodies were, happened again. 

I had a flashlight in my hands as I approached the entrance of school, then I heard footsteps behind me and spun around quickly. I shone the flashlight in their direction, spotting a familiar strawberry blonde. Sighing in relief, I pointed my flashlight down and looked at my sister. "Lydia what are you doing here?"

"The same thing happened," she breathed out, clutching her hands around her arms because she wasn't wearing any layers on top of just a long-sleeved top. 

I quirked an eyebrow as her feet stayed cemented at the top of the steps,"You had a banshee moment?" 

"If that's what you wanna call it, then yeah. I had one of those moments." she admitted, looking around the empty parking lot wildly before back down at me. I let out a sigh, not incredibly fazed by this anymore because it just feels like any other day. But obviously Lydia was still so confused. 

"Hey, just wait here. I'll go look for it, and besides I called Sabrina so I won't be alone. You should call Allison or something," I suggested before pushing open the double doors and venturing into the empty school. 

My flashlight darted across the identical lockers and lit up the end of the corridor, it was dark and there were clear signs no one was here. As I turned a corner, a bang sounded behind me and I spun on my heel, breath catching in my throat. I'm normally not so paranoid, but I'm alone and there are people being sacrificed. Who knows, I could be next. 

With some hurried breathing, I stepped forward and shone the light to where the sound came from. That's when a figure stumbled out and I let out a loud gasp before relaxing and cursing under my breath. "Holy shit! Sabrina!" 

"Sorry, sorry, but when you get the chance to scare someone, you take it," Sabrina laughed as she stalked over and playfully pushed me in the arm. I swatted her back and narrowed my eyes at her. 

"No, no you don't. Especially when we're supposed to be looking for a dead body."

"You're supposed to be looking for the dead body, I'm just here to tag along." she explained as we walked side by side down the corridor, the light bouncing around and shining up the distance in front of us. 

I rolled my eyes and looked over at her seriously. "You know you're acting like life is completely normal, when in fact the Alpha Pack are after you, and unless you kill one of us, they'll kill you too." she stopped in her tracks and squinted her eyes at me in the darkness.
