Nothing is as It Seems (Wattys 2016)

Chapter 17

Derek's POV

                   Erica just called me saying that we need to have a pack meeting like ASAP as in now. She sounded very urgent and panicked. I called everyone to meet at the loft besides Stiles, since he was still here. The pack started to pile in to the loft; the last one to arrive was Erica herself. She took a glance at Stiles and Stuart, and right after she had a look of guilt, that puzzled me.

                     Erica started off with,"I am really sorry Stiles and Stuart. I didn't mean for it to come out of my mouth. Words just kept coming out of mouth."

Everyone just gave her a very confused look, and of course, Stiles had to lighten up the mood like he always did.

                  "Wow! This must be serious. You used my actual name. You never do that, but you are leaving all of us in suspense. Do you care to explain?" Stiles stated with a look of confusion.

                   "I might have just gotten your sister killed. There is a possibility, I just ran into Theo and told him that your sister is a two faced bitch." Erica mumbled while she was looking at her feet as if they were the most interesting thing. 

                   Stuart finally looked up at her and finally spoke,"You did what now."

                   "You heard what I said the first time," Erica almost growled at him. 

                   "Well what do you suggest we do. Does anyone have any ideas?" Isaac said very optimistic about the whole situation. 

                   "We could try and contact her if she isn't dead yet." Malia said without any emotion in her voice at all. 

                    "Yeah, I guess, that could be a good idea." I said trying to be hopeful for Stiles, who looked very panicked right now. 

                Stiles finally took out his phone to dial Casey's number. I was listening very intently to see what the future would hold. Oh no! It went straight to voicemail. She was either avoiding him or something is really wrong. I just walked over to Stiles, so I could try and comfort him. He looked very distraught. I could tell by the look on his face he was thinking something was really wrong.

               I didn't know what to think, and by the looks of everyone else's face neither did they. I know everyone is either looking to Scott or me on what to do, and I had no clue. I sure hope Scott had something up his sleeve. I decided to just be there for Stiles at the time. Everyone would understand. They all knew we were together, if that's what you call it, because my wolf was screaming to be next to Stiles.

             Which I understand, he is the person I care the most about. Which would make my wolf a little overprotective. I tried to be as helpful as possible to Stiles. I sat there and whispered sweet nothings in his ear, which seemed to slow down his heart rate. The pack sprang into action as the intruder alarm went off. 

             I jumped in front of Stiles, but he did not complain like he always does. I could hear voices. I could not quit put my finger on who it was. I could tell it was a female voice tho. The person finally showed her face. Casey's pale face finally came into view, and she looked at Erica like she was the scum of the earth. 

           She only looked at Stiles who had come out from behind me. Those two had a bond, I think that was stronger than the whole twin bond thing. They ran to each other and squeezed each other as if there life depended on it. I could roughly here Casey mumble a broken I'm sorry. Something was off, and before anyone was prepared Casey was gone. The only bad thing was she took Stuart with her. 

That's why she said sorry it all made more sense now that it happened. Stiles was even more puzzled now. Did Stuart willingly go or was he taken?
