the other Argent (Teen Wolf x oc)

Electricity

Evelyn sat curled around her copy of the bestiary. "There has to be something in here," she muttered. Lexie was pretending to sleep in her bedroom; there was a concert next week that Lexie had been selected to sing the solo in; she was so excited that she couldn't sleep. Evelyn suddenly felt something was wrong, an odd pickling feeling coursing through her body like when your leg fell asleep. She reached for her phone, stopping herself short when she realized she didn't know who to call. Stiles, she reasoned he, probably knew where everyone was. He always did. Evelyn quickly snatched the phone up, dialing the Stlinski boy.

 "Evelyn now is not a good time," Stiles said, answering the phone.

 "Where's Scott?" She blurted out, confused as to why he was the one she asked about first. Normally, she was more concerned about Allison or Lydia, who couldn't defend herself like the others.

 "That's the issue," Stiles said: "we think Kira is who Barrow is after, and Scott is with Kira."

 "Stiles, you need to get there now. I can be at Kira's house in twenty minutes, but you'll get there first." Evelyn said, quickly activating the security system and sending a quick text to Argent in the apartment down the hall. She rushed off, knowing that if Barrow managed to kill Kira, he would come after the pack next. She and Lexie would be caught in the middle, and that wasn't even counting the fact that Evelyn truly cared for these kids and not just because they were Allison's friends but because she believed that maybe they could accomplish what she never could peace not just for humans or supernaturals but between both sides.

Evelyn pulled up to Kira's house. She saw Lydia looking up at a street light. "Then scream," Stiles said as Evelyn stepped out. "Lydia scream." Evelyn quickly covered her ears as the banshee opened her mouth. The scream rang in her ears as she approached the three teens.

 "Is everyone OK?" Evelyn asked.

 "It's not flies. It's electricity," Lydia said

 "What?" Evelyn asked.

 "Barrow took Kira," Stiles explained.

 "Didn't Barrow work as an electrical engineer?" Scott asked.

 "Yeah, he worked at a substation not too far from here," Stiles said.

 "Substation," Lydia and Evelyn repeated, looking at each other.

 "He could have taken Kira there," Lydia said.

 "I'll call my dad on the way," Stiles said, rushing over to his jeep. Evelyn hurried to her own car, jumping inside.

Evelyn pulled up behind Stiles outside the substation, quickly jumping out and rushing over to his jeep. "So what's the plan?" Evelyn asked.

 "Don't die," Scott said, getting off his motorcycle.

 "Stay here," Evelyn shouted at Stiles and Lydia before following Scott into the building. 

"She's not the one you want," Scott shouted in front of her. Evelyn turned around as she heard footsteps approaching to see Stiles behind her.

 "I told you to wait outside," she hissed.

 "It's not like you're going to be any safer if this goes sideways," Stiles shot back, walking past her towards Scott, who was still shouting at Barrow. As the Stlinski boy neared the doorway, Evelyn felt a sudden, inexplicable wave of panic.

 "Stiles!" She screamed, rushing forward. Evelyn was thrown backward as a wave of electricity came rushing out of the room, knocking her off her feet and into the wall behind her. All she could think about was that there was no way Stiles had survived that much electricity.
