Lover Boy [Book 2]

Chapter 28

========

Stiles immediately looked at me when Scott, Liam, and I brought in one of her unconscious Dread Doctors into the animal clinic.

"Are you guys okay?" Stiles asked all three of us, but keeps his eyes glued onto mine.

"We're fine." Scott answered with a heavy grunt as Liam and Scott hauled the Doctor onto the metal table. "Can you keep him alive?"

Deaton frowned. "I'm not sure he technically is alive."

Liam scoffed. "Screw keeping him alive! How do we get him to talk?"

"Personally, I don't think we utilize torture nearly enough..." Stiles added, then went silent as Deaton looked at him.

A loud whisper filled the air. "Come..."

"Did you hear that?" Liam asked quietly.

"Come to me...to me..." the voice continues to whisper.

The Surgeon bolts upright and causes an ear-splittingly loud noise to ring loudly throughout the room, making us all cover our ears.

"Liam, wait! No!" I run towards the younger now as he gets ready to pounce on the Surgeon, but an electromagnetic concussive blast shoved Liam and I backward into the wall before he crashes to the floor; the Surgeon walking out the door.

"Parker. Are you okay?" Liam asked with worry, helping me up. "Did I hurt you?"

"I'm fine, Liam." I assured him, ignoring my screaming ribcage as I steadied myself.

"I wouldn't do that, Scott." Deaton stopped Scott from touching the door. "It's electrocuted."

Liam grumbled something before walking off, Scott following close behind.

"Are you sure you're okay, Parker? That was quite the tumble you had into that wall." Deaton said. "Maybe I should check you just in case. Make sure nothing's broken."

"I'm fine, Deaton." I insist, getting annoyed now, and walking away from the two of them and around multiple corners into a hallway, finally sitting down on the ground with my back against the wall.

Faint footsteps walked closer to me until they finally stopped just behind the corner.

"What's bothering you?"

I look up and see Stiles leaning around the corner, staring down at me. "Nothing's bothering me."

"Parker. I know you. Something's bothering you." he finally walked into the hall and sat across from me, his foot gently tapping into mine. "Tell me."
