Stitches》Teen Wolf (Discontinued)

Eighteen

Mina made Scott promise not to tell anyone what happened with Lex. They have more things to worry about, which include the supernatural dead pool. Lydia found a list of supernatural creatures with numbers next to them, which they haven't decoded yet.

"This is only part of it," Scott told Sheriff Stilinski as he showed him the hit list. "The rest still has to be decoded."

"Who found this list?" Sheriff wondered.

"Lydia," Mina answered.

"How?"

"She wrote it," Stiles said. "Actually, she transcribed it. Without realizing it."

"Banshee?"

"Banshee."

"Beautiful." Sheriff pointed at the numbers. "All right, what are these numbers next to the names?"

"We're getting to that. First, you need to know that the code was broken with a cipher key."

"Wait. You mean, like a...Like a key word?"

Mina nodded. "Yes. It turns out to be a name, when Lydia entered it, it broke a third of the list. Allison." Because of their bond, Mina was able to feel that slight pang inside Scott. "Which probably means something to you if you look like someone kicked your puppy. The puppy, in this case, Liam."

"Allison was his first love," Stiles explained to her. "And she was stabbed in front of him, died in his arms. She was your best friend, too."

"First love like," Mina motioned to herself and Stiles, "you to me? Lydia to you?"

"Out of all the things to remember -"

"Didn't have to. Lydia filled me in."

"Of course, she did. To be fair, it wasn't really a first love, more like a crush -"

"You don't need to lie. It's fine. Though, it is weird how Allison and I died in the arms of our first love. Kind of like a fanfic or something like that."

Stiles glanced at Scott before he tried to get Mina to stop. "Mina."

"And a whole where our hearts are, nonetheless."

Stiles whacked her arm. "Mina." The girl glared at him. Stiles motioned his head toward Scott, since Allison is still a sensitive subject for him.

Mina cleared her throat. "Sorry, Scotty."

Scott shook his head. "No, it's ok."

"So -" Stiles began to avoid the awkward silence. He looked at his dad. "We think there's two other cipher keys. Which will give us the rest of the names."

"How do we get the cipher keys?" Sheriff asked.

"Same way we got the code."

"Lydia," Scott clarified. "She's been out at the lake house all weekend trying to find the other two key words."

"Which was pretty boring to hear nothing but static," Mina commented.

"You didn't know about Demarco or Carrie. Hmm?" Sheriff asked. "And what about these other three names on the list? Uh, Kayleen Bettcher, Elias Town, and Lex. They werewolves too?"

Mina felt her claws coming out. She wishes she could find Lex and bash his head in. Stiles saw her hand clenching against her side and reached over to hold it, which calmed her down.

"I don't know about Kayleen and Elias," Scott answered before Mina can. "But Lex isn't a werewolf. He's a harpy." Stiles pulled Mina closer to him as she began taking deep breaths. He wrapped one arm around her shoulders while one held her waist. Sheriff noticed and raised is brow, unaware of why Mina was glaring at the piece of paper. "Deaton said that the Nemeton would draw supernatural creatures here."
