The Awakening ²|Isaac Lahey

18. Veronica Was Right

Veronica looked down at her phone,“We have to go!” Veronica said, pulling Lydia and Mattheo up.

Lydia's protection squad consisted of Mattheo, Veronica, Allison, Stiles and Jackson. Lydia pushed Stiles's hand off of her when they made it into the back hallway. “If we're doing a study group, why didn't we just stay in the library?” Lydia asked.

    “Because we're meeting with somebody else.” Veronica said patting her shoulder.

    “Well, why don't they just meet us in the library?” Lydia asked if it were obviously.

    “Oh that would've been a great idea. Too late.” Veronica said with a smile.

Lydia stopped,“Okay, hold on..”

Jackson pushed her forward,“Lydia, shut up and walk.” he said.

Veronica piled everyone into her small car. Her and Allison were in the front and Lydia was left to sit on Mattheo's lap. They all were driving to her house.

Veronica shut her car door and grabbed Lydia's arm. “If we're studying with Scott then where's Scott?” Lydia asked which made Veronica sigh. She sure did ask a lot of questions.

    “Meeting us here, I think. I hope.” She said and opened the door. After everyone got inside she locked the door, then the deadbolt. And then locked the chain. And then quietly casted a protection spell for good measure.

Veronica turned around and seen Lydia was looking at her weird. “Uh... there's been a few break ins around the neighborhood.” Stiles said. They all stood around awkwardly as he then rushed forward and grabbed a chair and put it under the door. Lydia motioned at the door. “And a murder.” Veronica nodded at his excuse as Allison smiled. Jackson let out an annoyed sigh,“Yeah. It was bad.” he then motioned at Jackson to go upstairs.

    “Lydia, follow me. I need to talk to you for a minute.” He said before walking away.

    “Seriously? What is going on with everyone?” Lydia asked following him.
   
Mattheo turned to them,“What the fuck is going on? And didn't you hate Stiles the other night?” he asked.

   “It's a temporary peace. And Derek is bad. He thinks Lydia is the Kanima which is the thing that has been going around and killing people. He also wants to kill her. Isaac, Boyd, and Erica want to help.” Veronica quickly explained. “Stiles. The kitchen?” Veronica said. Stiles nodded and the two walked off.

Veronica sealed all of the door ways with burning stage while Stiles watched her.

    “What did Isaac say to you?” She asked.

Stiles couldn't help but scoff. “He wanted me to know that you rejected him the first time he asked you at. Wanted to know if I thought you would say yes the second time?” he said. “Ronnie.. let me just ask you one thing. Please?”

    “Fine. What?”

    “You said you were obsessed with me in middle school..”

Veronica glared at him. Is that seriously what he was worrying about right now? When Derek was trying to kill her best friend who may or may not be the Kanima. “Yes Stiles. I had a big fat crush on you in middle school. But that changed fresh-” Veronica suddenly became distracted.

Veronica pushed passed Stiles and looked out her kitchen window. “What?”

    “Allison? Call Scott!” Veronica said walking back into the entry way quickly.

    “It's me.... You need to get here. Right now. They're here.” She said before pulling her phone away from his ear. “He's on his way.”

    “I'm going out there-” Veronica started to say.
