Dani reluctantly followed the otherstoward the giant creepy house.
"So, catch me up here," she started, looking over to Allison. "Essentially, you come from a family of... werewolf hunters?"
Allison opened her mouth, hesitating. "Uh... yeah. To put it simply."
Dani tilted her head, furrowing her eyebrows. "Interesting."
"So," Stiles cut in, turning his head to Dani. "Since we've answered all of your questions, you wanna answer some of ours?"
Her eyes bore into Stiles, conflicted. Dani trailed off in thought for a moment, reckoning with herself. She did not really have a good explanation as to how she might have come across knowing about werewolves, and it was stressing her more and more by the second while she racked her brain for something.
She raised her shoulders at once. "I know someone... who's a werewolf."
Before anyone could reply, her phone began to vibrate. Dani reached in her coat pocket and pulled it out, rolling her eyes in annoyance at her dad's contact.
"Ugh, shit. Stiles, can you take me home? I mean– I think we can pretty much guarantee we aren't gonna find Lydia tonight. Let's just call it."
Dani turned, starting in the direction of the Jeep.
From behind her, she heard Allison say, "So you're giving up? Just like that?"
There was something in Allison's tone that Dani did not like. She stopped, turning abruptly and folding her arms.
"I think I just know Lydia a little better than you do. Like I said, I can pretty much guarantee that we aren't gonna find her here," Dani pushed, eyes narrowing at Allison.
Before there could be anymore conflict, Scott stepped in to diffuse the situation. "Dani's right. We should be getting home, it's late."
There was some awkward silence, Allison shooting Scott a look, until Dani turned around once more and started to the Jeep. Stiles followed right behind her, rubbing the back of his neck.
The ride back to the hospital was even more quiet, and it was not until Scott and Allison were gone that Stiles finally broke the silence.
"How long have you known?" he asked softly, glancing over at Dani. "A-About werewolves, I mean."
She returned his look, licking her lips as she shifted in the passenger seat. "Uh... not that long, honestly. It was kind of an accident how I found out," Dani laughed a little.
Stiles raised his eyebrows, giving her another brief look as he tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. "So you still don't wanna tell me who it is?"
