Lydia's words made everyone silent. That was a question none of them had an answer to.
Scott : "That's what we need to find out." he said breaking the silence.
I was wondering around my livng room, thinking what to do next when the door bell rang. My breath was taken away by the sight of Scott and his group standing in my front yard waiting impatiently. My first reaction was to shut the door and run away but for some unknown reason I just stood there, waiting for one of them to make a move.
Scott : "We need to talk to you."
Hanna : "What about ? " I said like I didn't know what he was talking about.
Scott : "About today ... and the latest events."
Hanna : "And you had to bring the whole weirdo-crew?"
Scott : "They're here to help. Can we come in ?" I nooded and waved for everyone to come in.
Hanna : "So ? Talk."
Scott : "Ok ... I don't really know how to say this ... "
Derek : "He's a werewolf. End of story."
Scott : "Thanks for making it easier Derek! " he said looking pissed.
Hanna : "Ok ... I have no ideea what you guys smoked but reality check - Werewolves. Are not. Real."
Derek :" I told you it was a bad idea." he said as he was about to leave.
Scott : "Wait! Look ... I know this may seem hard to believe, but he is telling the truth. And you kinda know it's real but you don't want to admit it. I don't know what Peter told you today in the forest but we are not like you think."
Hanna : "And who the heck is Peter ? "I looked at him confused.
Scott : "The one who attacked you today."
Derek : "Wait, what ? When did that happened ? " he said looking confused.
Scott : "By the time you and Stiles were ... " he suddenly stopped.
Hanna : " They were what ? "
Scott : " Out of town. By the time they were out of town. " he said trying not to blow their cover. "Listen ... we have a lot more to tell you but you have to promise not to tell anyone."
Hanna : "No. I don't want to be part of this. "
Derek : "Too late. You already are."
Hanna : "But I did not asked for any of this! So just leave me alone! All of you!"
Scott : "Nothing bad will happen to you! I promise!"
Hanna : "News Flash - I almost got killed today! "
Scott : "Yes, but I was there to help you, remember ? Now If you'll let us, we can help you stay out of trouble. Just please, give us a chance." he said almost begging.
Hanna : [sighs] "Fine. I promise ... "
Scott : [relief sigh] "Thank you! I promise I will clarify things!"
Hanna : "Okay, but some other time ... there's too much information for a day already. "
Scott : "Ok. See you at school." he said and headed out followed by the others.
As he was making his way out, I pulled Derek back by his sleeve.
Hanna : "Not so fast. You still have some things to explain." He looked surprised but did not declined.
Hanna : "That guy ... Peter, he said you and him shared a history. How come ?"
Derek : "Is this an interrogatory ?"
Hanna : "Just answer!"
Derek : "Ok, if you really want to know ... he's my uncle." I tried to hold my astonishment back but failed.
Hanna : " Ok ... I didn't expect that. "
Derek : "Is that all ? "
Hanna : " There would be one more thing ... about sunday night ... "
Derek : "What about it ?" he said but our conversation was quickly interrupted by Scott.
Scott : "Derek, are you coming ?"
Derek : "Hold on." he said then turned back to me. "You were saying ?"
Hanna : "Uhh... nothing ... really... just go." He stared at me for a couple of moments and then left. This was clearly not the best time to ask him about that night. Not when Scott or any of his friends were around. So I just let it go.
