A Heartbeat In The Distance

Chapter 11

'You need to back the hell up, both of you!' yelled Liam as he looked around trying to find a way to get past the two of them,
'Can you just listen for one second, please?' Scott pleaded, Liam gave in, stopping his attempts to struggle.
'We're brothers now!' Scott explained, Brothers? how are they brothers?

'what?' Asked Liam even more confused then me,
'Oh god, that's...' Stiles was looking at Scott as if he'd been through something like this already.

'what are you talking about? We just met and you bit me!' Bit me? what does that mean, this is getting really complicated.

'The bite, the bite is a gift!' exclaimed Scott as if getting bitten was something to be happy or proud about

'Scott stop, please stop, just stop, you, you. We are trying to help you, you little runt.' Stiles said finally having enough of Scott's little talk,
'by kidnaping me?'
'Just to clarify Scott kidnaped you, okay? I aided and abetted.' Stiles is hilarious but I've had enough of this, I'm going to get to the library so I can relax in peace and do some research on all this crazy stuff.

I pulled up the files of what they have on Nemeton and one thing in particular stood out to me,

Wolfsbane.

Wolfsbane is a substance believed to be poisonous to werewolf's and some other supernatural creatures, the flower and its derivatives seem to force werewolves into their wolf form. Example; A spiral of wolfsbane studded rope, woven around the grave, holds a werwolf in its full wolf form after death.

On a few occasions wolfsbane flowers or powder has been used to heal. example; Wolfsbane laced gunpowder, once burned and applied to the wound, reversed the poisonous effects of a wolfsbane laced bullet.

I spent the rest of the school day in the library engrossed by all the myths and information about the supernatural occurrences that have happened in Beacon Hills because definitely something weird has been going on and still is going on in and around those woods that this place is so infamously known for.

After school, I went straight to station so I could start going through all the finished and unfinished case files, something in those files must be able to give me some insight or something on the strange supernatural activities going on in this town. When I opened the door to the station there were only a few deputy's in the main foyer.

'Where is Sheriff Stilinski?' I asked one of them,
'Your the girl that came in a few days ago asking for him, your the new assistant. I'm Deputy Parish.' The man said not answering my question
'Okay, hi. But where can I find Sheriff Stilinski?' I asked again.
'Oh yes, he's in his office which is just through that door' deputy parish informed me pointing at a wooden door at the back of the room.

I made my way past the empty desks. Wondering to my self what the empty spaces meant, lack of employment, everyone had been called out, death? I knocked twice on the door of Sheriff Stilinski's office.
'Come in' yelled out Stilinski looking up from his work as I entered the room.
'Hi Kara, you made it. I heard that Stiles had gone out with some of his friends?' He asked
'Yeah it's just me, so where do you want me to start?' I asked looking around the room which needed a lot of organizing and cleaning.
'Just over there will be fine, sort the cases in chronological order and then alphabetically.' He informed me, pointing towards one of the overcrowded corners.

I walk over to the corner and sat down picking up a few files and sorting through them. Most of the files weren't finished and weren't that exciting, but the strange thing about a few of them were that in the description of the cases they always seemed to mention something about inhuman strength, claws and glowing eyes. Sounds an awful lot like a supernatural creature, I moved on the from the corner and started on a pile near the door, I picked up the first file and looked at the name, 'family serial kill' that's interesting, and it only dated to yesterday. I looked through it and it says that the 1 surviving victim was then later that night killed and he said that the killer had no mouth, the file here has the perpetrator named as 'The Mute'.

I stood up with the file and headed towards Sheriff Stilinski at his desk.
'Why is this in one of the stacks? Shouldn't you still be looking through it, it only happened yesterday?' I asked holding up the file so he could see it properly.
'There's nothing more in the case, I have some experts in this area on the case and they have a copy of the file.' He responded not interested in the file that I was holding but the file he was looking at.

I used my strengthened vision to have a look at the case file, it wasn't a case file but it labeled with a persons name, the name sounded familiar. Peter Hale was the name printed in bold on the cover. Who is Peter Hale? And why does he have the same surname as my boss, head of Hale Media Corp Thalia Hale?
Inside the file I saw a picture of a man about in his late 30's with dark blonde hair and piercing blue eyes that felt like they were looking straight through me.

The rest of the files were old and had no relevance, I only found a little bit on Peter Hale. His whole family was burned in a fire, he suffered severe burns and was comatose for 3 years. He then woke up but then was later killed by his nephew who is not named, but beside that in brackets was not confirmed. Peter Hale was a dead man, so why did Stilinski have his file on his desk, was he just reading through old files?

After a while of sorting through files and a few paper cut injuries Sheriff Stilinski closed the file he was reading and stood from his chair.
'Kara, I think we're done for the night do you want to stop by Dumpling King for some dinner?' He asked me as he grabbed his jacket off the hook, so I stood up from my comfortable position on the ground.
'Yeah, dumplings sound fine.'
After got takeout we got in the car and headed back home, it was only then in the car when I was staring out the window that I noticed the moon, it was a great big round globe, like a lightbulb, it was a full moon tonight.
Full moons were supposed to represent immense power and control, full moons didn't affect me as much as they used to when I was younger.

When we got inside the house Sheriff Stilinski said that he was going to have dinner in his room because he had some files he wanted to go over, I was okay with that since I wanted to text Winn and see what's been happening at Hale co.
I picked up my phone and began to text Winn.
Kara: Hey Winn.
I waited a minute or two for a reply.
Winn: Hi Kara, can't really talk right now
Kara: why?
Winn: somethings just happened to Ms Hale, I'm sorry I really have to go now. Bye.
Kara: bye
I closed my phone staring out of my window that's weird, what could of happened to Ms Hale, I was just about to fly over to national city when something banged into the window. It was a fist.
Next I saw a face with pointed ears and a set of fangs, but the thing that scared me most were the glowing amber eyes, I could see a soul in them but some monster was trying to gain control, the action was almost animal-like.

'Kara, I need your help'
A deep voice said, but I recognized the voice.

It was Liam Dunbar's.

You have been waiting a long time and it's finally here!
