Melanie's POV
Mom decided it would be nice to drag me out of my room and go to Allison's because she wanted to talk to us.
mom knocks on her bedroom door. "Just a second." Allison says from inside the room.
"Allison." Mom says.
"Uh, coming. Coming. Okay, uh." Allison says. Mom opens the door reveling Allison on her bed on her laptop.
"Hey." I say to Allie and sit on her bed.
"Hey." Allison says to the both of us.
"What's up?" Mom asks her.
"Uh, nothing. Just doing homework, sending some emails." Allison says.
"Emailing the boyfriend?" Mom asks her.
"No. I'm emailing peta about how my wing nut father gunned down an innocent mountain lion in the school parking lot." Allison replies. I smirk.
"And that wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that you're grounded and you can't see Scott?" Mom asks her.
"I'm not gonna be one of those whining teenagers who looks at her father and says, "I hate you. I wish you were dead." Allison says.
"But -" I say knowing what she is gonna add.
"But - I hate him and I wish he was dead." Allison says. I smirk.
"See, now you're starting to sound like a normal, angry teenager." Mom says.
"What are you working on? Can I help?" I ask Allie.
"Uh, a history project, and I just want to be left alone, actually." I frown at her response.
"Come on. What kind of history project?" Mom says.
"I have to come up with a report that has some relevance to my own family history." Allison says.
"Oh god I forgot about that project." I sigh.
"Specific to your family?" Mom asks us.
"Why? Do you have any ideas?" I ask her.
"Type this in: "La Bete du Gevaudan." Mom says.
"The beast of Gevaudan. What is this?" I ask after Allie typed it into the search bar.
"It's an old French legend that, believe it or not, has something to do with your family." Mom says looking at the both of us.
""In 1766 in a province of Lozere, la Bete killed over a hundred people."" Allison read out loud.
"Mysterious animal attacks, just like a certain town called beacon hills." Mom says.
"So what was it? The animal?" Allison asks.
"Nobody knows for sure, but I can tell you one thing. It definitely wasn't a mountain lion. What's it look like to you guys?" Mom asks.
"It looks like - " Allison stops so I finish for her.
"A wolf." I say. I see mom smile a little.
I'm now in my chemistry class sitting next to Stiles, he's mad at Scott for something, I honestly don't know. I hear Scott start to talk to him.
"Still not talking to me? Okay, can you at least tell me if your dad's okay? It's just a bruise, right? Some soft tissue damage? Nothin' that big - You know I feel really bad about it, right? Okay." Scott says to him then pauses. After a second he continues. "What if I told you that I'm trying to figure this whole thing out, and - That I went to Derek for help?" Scott asks him. Derek? Who's Derek? And what does Scott need to figure out?
