Be Careful Out There

Chapter 13

"You know me, Scott! Do you really think it's me? Do you really think I would take a human life?" I exclaim. He thinks.

"No..." He whispers.

"Then what makes you think that it's me?"

"Who else would it be?"

"I don't know! Another werewolf? Or an actual human!"

"You never know, it could be you. When I first became a wolf, I went to sleep and I would end up in random places!"

"I'm not you, Scott! I can't believe you would accuse me of this." I cry. I get inches from him. "Look me in the eyes. Listen to my heart beat. I didn't kill anyone." He takes a deep breath.

"I... I know it's not you.... I just don't know what to think..."

"We'll figure this out together." Stiles and Isaac walk in.

"My dad always says threes's a pattern. So what is four?" Stiles whispers quickly.

"What?" I ask.

"All four murders have to have something in common. Mr. Harris, Mr. Green, Donovan, Emily. Emily is Donovan's girlfriend. They all have something something in common." He repeats.

"Which is...?"

"That's the thing, I don't know. They all go to the high school. Maybe the killer is uh... Someone that goes to school with them.." Stiles turns and looks at me. I gasp.

"I didn't kill them !" I claim. I just walk out of the room and out of the house. I can't believe they're accusing me of this. As I try to get into my car, Stiles catches up to me and grabs my arm.

"Ty, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you."

"Stiles, murdering someone is a serious accusation to make. Get some facts together before you tell everyone."

"You're right." He says. "You're absolutely right. And you will help me get those facts together. I walk back inside with him. Scott starts to speak, but before he gets the words out, I interrupt him.

"Before we make ANY more accusations, we need to get all the facts." I say. I look over to Isaac who stands there leaning against the door silently. He hasn't said a word since I get here. Not even hello. "Are you okay?" I ask him.

"Me?" He replies. "Oh yeah. Just great."

"You haven't even said hi to me..." He walks over and wraps his arms around my waist and kisses my cheek softly.

"Hello." I rest my arms around him as he bury's his face in my neck.

"Okay, I know you're dating but that's enough- no, actually you haven't even gone out on your date yet... Just stop being all cute okay?" Stiles interrupts. Scott and Stiles decide to ditch the murder case for the day and finally at 6:00 Isaac and I go on our date.

"Where are we going?" I ask him as we drive in his car.

"I thought we could go bowling." He smiles. I heard Scott say something about bowling with Allison once, but he doesn't really talk about her. Damn, I haven't talked to her and Lydia ever since Monday. 5 days. They probably think I'm a jerk and that I'm ignoring them. I decide to text Allison.

'Im so sorry I haven't talked to you this week. It's been really busy. There's a lot going on. We'll hang out tomorrow, okay?' I send it. She replies moments later.

'It's okay... You've just been acting really weird lately... Are you okay?' I decide not to say anything. We arrive at the bowling alley, and Isaac takes my hand as we walk in. He holds it tightly and doesn't let go. We get assigned to our aisle and we sit in the chairs as we tie our bowling shoes.
