Stiles Stilinski-Gilbert

Chapter 34

Stiles wakes up exhausted. Yesterday had been a complete and utter trainwreck of a day. First it started with learning that Katherine had been lying and was now released from the tomb and trying to 'help' them protect Elena. Stiles and pretty much everyone else called bullshit but no one has done anything to run Katherine off yet.

Second, someone (Luka) tried to remove the dagger from Elijah via ghost walking? Causing Damon to set them on fire. While that was happening Elena, Caroline and Bonnie were having a girl day that Jenna ended up joining. And they all went to the Grill to have some fun.

Lastly, because of being set on fire Luka died making his dad go berserk and try to kidnap Elena from the Grill. So, Katherine pretended to be Elena and when they all got back to the house, she attacked Jonas Martin who was lying in wait for her. And all throughout all of this Stiles had to deal with school, Damon, Katherine, Elena and surprisingly Matt who wanted to talk with him about his failing relationship with Caroline. So, he spent most of yesterday running back and forth from school to the Salvatore house, back to the school, then home, then the Grill, then home again. It was tedious.

Stiles debates just going back to sleep and ignoring everyone in order to get a day off. But he knows he can't just do that; Damon would probably show up and drag him out of his bed and carry him around everywhere. So, Stiles sits up and gets out of bed and heads into his bathroom for a shower. There is no way he's going on a run this morning; he just can't do it.

Getting out of the shower Stiles goes back into his room and gets clothed before heading down the stairs in order to fill himself up with coffee.

"Hello, Elena. It's nice to see you again." Stiles pauses when he hears that voice.

Opening his eyes fully he looks down the stairs and finds a shocked and hurt looking Jenna, standing next to Elena as they both look at Isobel standing outside the door.

"Stiles. It's good to see you too. How have you been?" Isobel says bringing Jenna and Elena's attention to him.

"I'm sorry, you are...?" Stiles asks not wanting Jenna to know that Stiles knew Isobel was still alive.

Okay so he may be lying to her again but in Stiles defence...okay so he has no defence but come on what else is he supposed to do in this situation? Just allow Isobel to ruin his relationship with Stiles sole guardian.

Isobel smirks at him as if she can see right through him.

"Again?" Jenna asks Elena having picked up on Isobel's words.

Elena, the idiot, just stands there gaping like a fish.

"So, you're the woman who's dating my husband. I need to speak to Elena. May I come in?" Isobel questions.

"No. don't...don't invite her in." Elena orders.

"I need to talk to you, Elena." Isobel tells her.

"No!" Elena snaps before slamming the door closed in her face.

"You knew she was still alive? Ric John? Did they know?" Jenna inquires, tears pouring down her face.

"I can explain everything, Jenna." Elena says.

"No." Jenna denies.

"No, Jenna, please." Elena pleads but Jenna turns and runs past Stiles, up the stairs and into her room. "Jenna, please. Wait. Jenna, please wait." Elena cries.

Stiles wonders if now would be a good time to tell Elena that he told her so...probably not.

"Jenna, you have to talk to me. I...I need to explain what's going on. Jenna, please." Elena calls out.
