Hope Aflame (Stiles Stilinski)

Chapter 35

Night fall had fallen on Beacon Hills and Alannah sits at the lacrosse game keeping an eye out for her friends while Lydia and Malia are talking to Meredith at the Sheriff's office trying to get another part of the dead pool. 

The boys and Kira were unable to convince Coach that Liam shouldn't play so all of them are playing in the game.

 The game had been pretty intense so far and the whole crowd seems to be on the edge of their seats watching the action.

 "Alannah, right?" a girl and the boy from the party with Lydia call out to her. 

"Yes?" Alannah answers, keeping her eyes on the field. 

The boy and girl sit down next to her.

 "I'm Mason, Liam's friend and this is Violet." Alannah gives them a half-smile more interested in the game than them at the moment. 

"Cool." She states.

 "So you're dating the tall one on the team?" Mason asks giving the blonde a stupid grin, obviously trying to get closer to the group his friend talked with. 

"Maybe." Alannah says shrugging her shoulders.

 "Oh my god! Yes! Go, Kira!" she cheers excitedly watching Kira score her first goal. 

"This is her first game." Alannah exclaims looking at Mason. 

Mason grins back but the girl next to them only plasters on a fake smile.

 "Shit." The blonde mumbles seeing Liam hit one of the prep players. 

They both fall on the grass. 

Liam and the other player, Brett, groan in pain.

 The poor boy gets dragged off the field since there is something wrong with his leg. 

The game has a halftime break, so Alannah goes on her phone noticing a text from Lydia.

 Reading over it she rushes down the bleachers to inform her friends about what Lydia said.

 "Guys, Lydia broke another third of the list."

 "Am I on it?" Liam questions. 

"No, but Brett is." She states.

 Stiles turns to Scott. 

"We need to find Brett, it must be him who Garrett is after."

The girl that was sitting next to Alannah, Violet, ended up getting arrested at the end of the game. 

She had tried to kill Scott..with a termo-cut necklace that decapitated Demarco just a few nights ago.

 Now Lydia, Alannah, and Stiles stand in Eichen House with Parrish trying to talk to Meredith so that they can crack the next part of the dead pool.

 "We need to talk to Meredith Walker, it involves a murder investigation." Parrish speaks to the nurse. 

"You can talk to her all you want, but these three..." he points towards Stiles, Lydia, and Alannah "especially that one!" he points at Stiles "They're out of here!" 

Parrish shakes his head at this. 

"They're crucial witnesses in an ongoing investigation!"

 "Why don't you come back with a court order, then I'll listen." The nurse points at Parrish "And Mr. Stilinski how about you come back with a full payment. Daddy may be the Sheriff, but he's late on the bills." He snarks. 

"I guess those government jobs aren't as reliable as they used to be, huh?" he continues. 

"They do help when you need a favor. Like, eight months ago, when Canaan P.D. helped you get home after blowing 0.1 on a breathalyzer." Parrish speaks up causing Alannah and Lydia to look at him in wonder.
