Blissful Burn ➳ Stiles Stilinski [5]

Continuous Bickering

Skyler's P.O.V

This morning I woke up in the woods. Which meant I'd blacked out and turned into whatever the hell I was.

At least I got some rest out of it. Enough rest to have no clue what went on last night.

I entered Scott's house not wanting to waste any time on whatever the hell was going on and how I could be of help.

And I also need an excuse to stop myself from spiralling into my obsessive thoughts.

"Guys I think we should tell her."

"No, we tell her and she'll just feel even more guilt. She needs to find out at the right time."

"If we tell her maybe it will make things better."

"She can't know. Not right now. We're not even sure if she's–"

"Stiles. She has disappeared again. If she doesn't find out soon then she is going to kill you. We should tell her."

That's Malia speaking. And saying something smart for once. Never thought I'd see the day.

Actually, with my math notes, I should've expected it.
What can I say? I'm just that helpful.

They all spoke in hushed tones and when I walked into Scott's house there was a creak in the floorboards.

Theo quickly coughed at my presence and I looked at all of them studying their expressions. Malia was looking straight at me with her usual unfiltered expression.

Stiles and Theo tensed and I stared at them. "Tell me what?" None of them spoke. I looked at Malia.

Weirdly she was one of the only people I trusted right now. I believed her when it came to the dread doctors. I felt the off vibe when it came to conversations and how distant she had become.

And she was the only one who would tell me the truth as of right now. Mostly because she didn't care about me. But I'm going to ignore that part.

"What's up?"

She sighed. "Last night when you–"

"We couldn't find you and you missed out on a lot," Stiles interrupted her before she could continue.

I turned to him with a questioning look. And so did Malia. Which meant I wasn't stupid enough to not realise Stiles was going to not tell me the whole truth.

That's if he was going to tell me the truth at all.

"What do you mean? I was there with you guys, I just fell asleep," I looked at Theo who shook his head lightly. "But I thought I stayed the whole night?"

I didn't stay the whole night? How is that possible? I can't just blackout as soon as I go sleep. But I didn't black out.

Last night there was something off about my nightmares. Because this time I was at the Nemeton. And it wasn't the first dream that consisted of a magical tree trunk.

Wait. So did they find out who took the bodies? Is this why we're all gathered at Scott's?

"We didn't manage to catch the person who's been stealing the bodies," Stiles said and the other two kept their mouths shut. "But Kira got arrested for murder because Scott's Mom found a body on her kitchen table. With her sword driven through the girl."

I was way too stunned to even breathe. "Is...she didn't..."

"We don't know if she did kill anyone," Theo said.

Malia seemed to disagree. "She probably did."

"We're hoping she didn't," Stiles added.

"Which is unlikely." Right now she was kind of putting light on a really dark situation.
