The Vampire of Beacon-Hills [ENGLISH VERSION]

S3a : Chapter Thirty

ELENA'S POV :

Stiles and I walked Lydia home. My boyfriend got a text from Scott saying that Deaton was okay and had gotten out of trouble earlier.

"Do you want to sleep at home tonight?" He suggests. "We'll watch a movie to unwind. My dad works all night."

I smile and nod in agreement.

So we drive to Stiles' house and arrive after a few minutes of driving. I drop my stuff off in his room and one thing leads to another, we forget about the movie.

We kiss, lying on his bed. His hands slide from my waist to my hips while mine wander from his neck to his horses. His kisses go down my neck. That's when I feel the thirst for blood increase. It's controllable, but I can already imagine my canines lengthening and digging into his neck. It brings back old memories. I'd rather not tempt fate. I don't want to risk hurting him too.

"Stiles. Wait... wait please."

He stops all movement and looks at me like he's just done something stupid with worried eyes.

"Sorry, I thought... well I-"

"No. It's not you. I swear I want too. It's just... I haven't eaten yet and I don't want to risk biting you."

"Oh. Yeah, okay uh..."

There's a slightly awkward silence before he cuts short the awkwardness to lighten the mood.

"Are we watching this movie ?"

I smile before giving him my agreement. "While you choose it, I'm going home to get some drinks."

"You know that choosing a movie doesn't take much time," he asks me, raising an eyebrow.

"And you know that it's dark, so I can use my super speed without fear of being spotted. Don't worry, I'll be back in just 6 minutes."

So I rush home to get some food.

"5 minutes 02," I say when I arrive at Stiles's. I told you I'd be quick.

"I ordered pizza if you want."

We settle down comfortably against each other and watch the movie Stiles chose. And for once, it's not Star Wars.

"Where do you think Derek is?"

"I have no idea," I answer. "But he must need to grieve. Losing a Beta is like losing a part of yourself." I think for a moment, staring into space before continuing. "Well, I guess."

I let my thoughts wander and only come back to earth when I see Stiles crouching in front of me.

"You really seams understand this feeling, don't you ?" I look him in the eye before miming an unconvincing smile. "You can tell me about it. Well, if you want to, of course."
