chapter thirty three.
"You're Not A Monster."

The two boys sit in their car for a moment, just looking up at the large house that sits at the top of the driveway. After sitting for a while they finally calm their minds and allow themselves to get out of the car. They make sure to quietly shut their car doors, then start to walk up the long driveway that leads up to her house. Once they make it to the front door Scott and Stiles glance at each other for a moment. Stiles gives Scott a small nod before he reaches his hand up to the door, knocking loudly on it. The two boys only have to wait a few moments before hearing the front door unlock. The door in front of them opens up, showing Natalie Martin.

Scott smiles at her, "Hi, Ms. Martin." He kindly says, looking at the older woman who's standing in front of him,

Already knowing why the two boys are at her house, "She's in her room." She calmly says.

Natalie steps to the side, and opens her door wide enough so the two boys can walk in; both give her a small smile and nod before starting to walk towards the stairs that lead to Lilith's bedroom.

Natalie turns to face the two teenagers, "Is she okay?" Natalie speaks up, causing both Scott and Stiles to stop in their tracks, and turn around to look at her with confusion. "She doesn't open up to me anymore... at least not like how she used to."

Stiles turns to his right where Scott stands only a few feet away from her, neither of the boys truly knowing why Lilith is acting the way she is, but instead just knowing as much as her own mother does. He gives her a small nod, "She's okay." Stiles lies, attempting to reassure Natalie.

Hearing his words Natalie gives them both a small smile before walking away from her foyer, allowing Scott and Stiles to continue up the stairs, knowing exactly where Lilith's room is located. Once making it to the top of the stairs, they find their way to the front of her bedroom door, both taking a moment to think of what they'll say since they don't know what's going on with her.

"Lilith?" Scott softly speaks, as he gently knocks on her door. They get no response. "It's Scott and Stiles." He adds.

After a short period of silence they hear her voice. "Go away." Lilith's voice comes off so soft it's hard to hear what she's saying through the door.

Stiles steps forward, "We haven't seen or heard from you in days... Can we please come in?" Stiles asks, as he readjusts the big brown bag he's holding. "Please, Lil. We're concerned for you and your health."

Stiles slowly licks his lips as he waits for a response. Both he and Scott glance at each other for a moment when they don't get a response, but when they hear small footsteps padding on the hardwood floor from the other side of the door, they turn back towards it. They hear a lock unlock, and see the door in front of them crack open. They hesitantly walk into her room, making sure to shut and lock the door behind them; doing what Lilith has done for the past three days.
