I WANT U BAD! scott mccall

CHAPTER FOUR, senior scribe

Averi went to the McCall house with Scott afterwards since she forgot her jacket there since they hung out together earlier that day. She knew she would need it that night because of the storm going on. After Averi would get her jacket, then they planned on leaving to head to the school for the Senior Scribe. The Senior Scribe is where you write your initials on a library shelf. Every student at Beacon Hills did it once they were seniors and they were both looking forward to it.

When they were getting ready to leave, Averi notices something strange on the floor so she bent down to get a closer look at it. "Scott." She got the brunette-haired boy's attention and he glanced at her with raised eyebrows. Averi stood up with the paper now in her hand and showed it to Scott. Scott sets his helmet and the extra one he got for Averi on the table, furrowing his eyebrows when he looked at the note. It was the note that he left for his mom that he would be back by 1:30, but the note was on the floor instead of where he put it on the fridge, and it looked like there were holes in it. As if someone stabbed something sharp in the paper.

"Something did this." Averi mumbled.

"But what would that be?" Scott asked curiously.

Averi shrugs. "Maybe some sort of werecreature?" She sighs and Scott nods as he thinks of what could've done it. "Let's just hope your mom wasn't home when that creature showed up here." She mumbled. She then immediately looked to the front of the fridge with wide eyes while Scott looked over there with confusion when the magnets fell off the front of the fridge and clattered when they hit the floor.

Averi was almost afraid to ask, but she still does, "How did that happen?"

"No idea." Scott replied, slowly walking over to the fridge as he stared at it with confusion. 

Averi hesitantly followed him. Averi instinctively moved closer to him, feeling safer when she was right by him. Scott bent down to pick up one of the magnets and stood up, putting the magnet on the fridge. He exchanged a confused look with Averi when the magnet didn't stick and instead fell.

Scott glanced over to his left, tilting his head to the side and furrowing his eyebrows with confusion when he noticed the hour hand on the clock was going haywire. Averi followed his line of sight and a confused look formed on her face when she saw what was happening with the clock. Averi and Scott jumped, startled when they heard a loud noise from the magnets. When they looked over as they heard the loud noise, they were surprised to see the magnets had lifted into the air and were now stuck on the fridge.

Averi and Scott glance at each other, neither one having any clue as to what was going on. "Did you do that?" Scott asked her because one of the couple powers she had were air manipulation powers and her making the magnets fall and rise up was the only explanation he could think of.

Averi shakes her head. "No, I didn't." She bites her lower lip, her nerves and fear growing by the second. "But I wish I did 'cause I know that means it was something else did it."

When the house began to shake, her eyes widened and her heartbeat increased. Scott's heartbeat was beating rapidly as he glanced around with confusion. He wrapped his arms around Averi protectively, his heart skipping a beat when Averi wrapped her arms around him. Averi wrapped her arm around his waist, glancing around with a nervous expression as she and Scott stood their ground although nothing but a bowl close to the edge of the counter fell during the shaking of the house.

"What the heck is happening?" Averi muttered, her eyes wide as she looked around the house.

"I don't know, but I don't like it." Scott replied, his gaze not leaving the area around them, watching with surprise.

They both jumped again when a lightbulb exploded and shattered into pieces. He turned and without a second thought, he covered her with his body as the glass shards from the lightbulb fell. Averi hid her face in the crook of his neck, closing her eyes tightly. She felt safe in his arms, even though there was a possibility they could be attacked at any moment.
