Something About Them // Teen Wolf [Book 5]

Strange Frequencies

'I know what happened to Donovan.' Theo said. My instinct took over and I stepped in front of Stiles. 'I know everything.' Theo continued, Stiles brushed passed me, grabbed Theo's jacket and slammed him against the wall. 'You don't know anything.' Stiles said. Theo also grabbed Stiles' jacket and turned them around so Theo was pinning Stiles against the wall. 'I was there! I was at the library. When Malia found the book she texted us to see where you were she said she left you at the library. I told her I was close, when I got there I heard the scaffolding come down.'

'You saw him?' Stiles asked. 'Just the body.' Theo replied. 'I watched the two of you come out, I was gonna say something but then I saw the cop car. The body was gone. Look I don't know who took him I only saw what you saw and I didn't say anything because you didn't.' Theo said. 'I know you've been backing him up, Sam.' He said turning towards me. We then heard sirens in the distance. 'It's not an ambulance is it?' Theo asked. Stiles shook his head and started walking towards me. 'We should get out of here.' Theo said. 'We can't just leave him.' I said looking down at the boy who's head was still on my lap, although he was already dead. 'Fine, then let's take him. Somebody's stealing the bodies anyway right?' Theo asked. 'This is our chance to find out who, come on you guys we gotta do something.' He said. 'You killed him.' Stiles spoke quietly. 'In self-defense, he was going to kill all of us.' Theo replied. 'If we stay, we're either going to have to tell the truth or we're gonna need a pretty convincing story. It's your choice, I'm not gonna ask you to lie to your dad.' He continued. 'I will.' I said standing up. 'And he's had some practice.' I added with a shrug.

Stiles, Theo and I had taken the body to the animal clinic, then we called Scott and told him to come over, saying we had something to show him. After we placed the body and the table I grabbed Theo's arm and pulled him into the other room. 'What's going on?' He asked and I quickly held my index finger to my lips telling him to be quiet. 'Listen, if Scott or anyone ever finds out about Donovan, I killed him, okay?' I told him. 'Did you?' He asked with raised eyebrows. I shrugged. 'I was under a desk, so no not really. Look, it was self-defense, just like what happened earlier. But Scott and the sheriff, they'd be heartbroken if they found out. It could ruin Stiles and Scott's friendship. I can't even think about what Papa Stilinski would say... So I have to take the blame. I won't let Stiles go through that.' I said. 'Are you sure? Sammy that's a pretty big thing to do...' Theo said frowning. I sighed. 'When Stiles was possessed by the Nogitsune and the only way out according to him was killing himself by impaling himself with a katana, I stood behind him and held onto that sword. I would've died for him that day. I don't think jail or a fight with my brother won't be anything I can't handle. Just promise me, if anyone asks you, please tell them it was me. Please, I'm begging you.'

He sighed and lowered his head. 'Okay. I promise.' He muttered. I let out a sigh of relief. 'Thank you.' I whispered. I placed my hand on his shoulder causing him to look back up at me. 'Stiles means to absolute world to me, Theo. Surely you can understand that. This means a lot to me, thank you.' I heard Scott's bike pull up so I stepped out of the room. Stiles sent me a questioning look but I shrugged saying I had it all under control and that it would all be okay. Scott walked into the room and pulled a confused face. 'What's going on?' He asked. I motioned for him to follow me and walked towards the table. 'We... ran into the dread doctors...' Theo said and I pulled back the blue sheet exposing the boy's face. 'Do you know him?' Theo asked. 'His name's Josh, he's a junior.' I swallowed and quickly covered Josh's face again, it was too painful. 'Which one did it... was it the one with the cane?' Scott asked. Stiles and I shot each other a look before looking at Theo who nodded. 'Yeah.'

'What are we gonna do with him?' Stiles then asked. 'We can't just set the alarm and leave that's how Tracy disappeared. Someone's gotta stay here with him.' He said. 'I'll do it.' Theo suggested. We all turned to look at him. 'It's not like I got a big Saturday night planned.' He shrugged. 'I don't think any of us do.' Stiles said pointing out the fact that he didn't really trust Theo to watch over the body. I grabbed hold of his arm. 'Saturday's date night sweety.' I whispered. Scott's phone buzzed and we all turned to him. 'What is it?' Stiles asked, seeing the worry on his best friend's face. 'Another one. Another chimera.' My brother replied. 'Wait, who?' I quickly asked. 'It's Hayden.' Scott replied. 'Wait, the girl who punched Liam in the face in sixth grade? Or at least something like that I never really listen when Liam tells me anything.' I shrugged. 'Yeah, her. Look, we gotta go over there. Her and Liam ran into the dread doctors. She must be freaked out.' He sighed.
