The Vampire of Beacon-Hills [ENGLISH VERSION]

S3a : Chapter Twenty-three

STILES' POV :

It's the end of summer vacation. Scott and I just arrived at the high school lacrosse field to practice before the start of the year and the tryouts.

"Do you really think Allison is going to come back with you when you haven't talked all summer ?"

"I don't think so, I know it," Scott says. "What about you and Elena ?"

"Nothing since the game. We haven't even talked about the kiss for the last three days of school. She left right after and I haven't heard from her. I don't even know if she's ever going to come back."

"You can just ask her."

"Yeah, sure," I joke. "If she doesn't want to talk to us anymore, I'm not going to force her to. Keep your promise to help me get better at lacrosse instead of talking nonsense."

We grab our gear and head to the field.

"You know what I just realized," he asks me. "I'm back where I started."

"What do you mean ?"

"I don't have lacrosse practice anymore, I'm not popular anymore, and I don't have a girlfriend anymore. Nothing."

"I'm here," I protest.

"You were here before," my best friend says.

"Yes, and I'm still here, that's not nothing. You're a fulfilled man."

He smiles as he puts his bag on the ground. "Yeah."

"Ok. Are you ready ? And no superpowers," I remind him. "I'm serious."

"Yeah, I know. Go ahead !"

"Do you promise me ?"

He sighs "Don't you want to shoot instead of talking."

I concentrate before shooting. He catches the ball and I see his eyes shine. "I said no superpowers !"

ELENA'S POV :

Rome is such a beautiful city. I had a great vacation and now there are only three days left until school starts again.

"So if I understand correctly," Simon recaps, "you found a guy who seems great. You kiss him. And the first thing you do is fly to Rome and spend a debaucherous vacation with us."

"Yeah, you understood everything."

"I really don't understand you," Heidi sighs.

"Well, if we ever end up together... we have to have fun before settling down."

Raphaël laughs. "Now, I recognize you."

It's been a long time since I saw them. My three favorite Children of the Night. We were a great group before I left the clan. I've always been closer to Raphael. Probably because we're both from the same century. He's only a few years older, but he likes to remind me of that. We've been up to all sorts of mischief together. Lately, however, I've calmed down a bit, while he... well, he's still the same guy.
