Teen Sorcerer

Chapter 16

They managed to get through the rest of the day without incident and met back in the band room to avoid alerting the rest of the pack. 

"Allie, can you bring some weapons and ammo when you pick up the amulets?" Stiles asks.

"For what?" Allison asks, mentally reviewing what she can get away with taking without alerting her dad.

"Now that dad and Tara know about everything, I would like to enchant and prepare some weapons for those without claws and teeth" he says with a smirk.

"I doubt a knife will be all that useful" Jackson says looking worriedly at Lydia who seems distracted until he says that.

"Actually I was thinking about that" Lydia says with a thoughtful expression. "What do you think about creating essential oils using wolfsbane? We could use it to coat knives and arrows" 

Stiles sees the light go off in Allison's eyes.

"Potent" he admits "but we need to be careful or it could kill with a scratch. If we do it we need to be extremely careful. I doubt that you could cure that kind of poisoning. Right now we just use the flowers to add to the bullets or boil them in water to create a solution. Essential oils would be extremely dangerous" he says slowly and both Lydia and Allison look a lot less certain.

"Maybe we should wait until we have the antidote before trying that" Jackson suggests very, very carefully as he watches the two women. They both nod in agreement.

"It will take a bit of time to gather everything up at my house" Allison warns them "so it will be a bit before we get to your house" she tells Stiles who nods in agreement. Allison and Jackson leave after Stiles confirms that there are only a few people around. Stiles watches them leave before turning to the redhead who is looking very disturbed.

"Lydia" Stiles starts gently as he sees the concerned look on her face "it's not a bad idea, but once that genie is out of the bottle, it won't go back in and I don't trust the hunters to have an incurable wolfsbane poison in their arsenal" he tells her and she agrees to not pursue it without including him. But Stiles can see there is more on her mind. "There's something else?" he asks.

Lydia looks very uncomfortable before she straightens her shoulders and looks directly at Stiles. "You knew things about me and Jackson, things that you couldn't...shouldn't know. Things that we didn't tell anyone, not even each other" she takes a deep breath. "Stiles...how did you know that stuff?" she looks at him and Stiles tries not to flinch.

He is quiet for several minutes as he gathers his thoughts and he almost says something several times but it all feels like the wrong thing to say. Finally he gives up. "Lydia, I promise that I will explain it but I think we should wait till we get to my house. We have some time before Allie and Jackson will get there if you want some privacy but I would really feel better talking about it somewhere more secure." He looks at her and thinks she is going to argue but she just nods and they leave the room.

Stiles is surprised by how empty the halls are, they must have talked longer than he realized. Of course this was one of the remoter parts of the school so the noise from the band wouldn't disturb the other classes. They had only gotten a few steps when the alpha twins step out of the shadows directly in front of them, glaring at the two of them in a less than friendly manner.

Stiles stops and grabs Lydia's arm stopping her as well. "Guys. You are here late" Stiles says to them trying to sound casual.

The twins both glare and then their eyes glow red as their claws and fangs extend causing Lydia to take a step back. "Lydia...get ready to run" Stiles whispers but they twins both roar surprising them.
