Reawakening » Stiles Stilinski [book 4]

13. Pity Party

Savannah was laying in her bed, staring up at the ceiling. She hadn't been able to sleep and after yesterdays events, she knew she wouldn't be able to anyways. She still had no idea what happened to her during the full moon and more importantly, there was a whole lot of other things happening. 

Well to start off the list; Lydia discovered a sort of deadpool in her lake house, Derek had texted her telling her how the Mute was an assassin for hire by someone known as "the Benefactor", Peter got attacked by the Mute, someone got decapitated outside the lake house down the road who happened to be a werewolf, Peter ripped the Mute's throat out AND all of that plus Savannah's weird transformation during the full moon. 

The bright side, the very dim side maybe more appropriate, is that Scott managed to talk Liam down and convince him that he's not a monster. So that was one thing to look forward to, at least Liam is somewhat warming up to the idea and he didn't hurt anyone. 

Savannah sighed, rubbing her eyes before sitting up and deciding to go get something to drink if she wasn't going to be able to sleep. Maybe some warm tea or milk would calm her nerves. 

Savannah wanted to tell Derek about what happened but she didn't know how, she was scared. She didn't even know how to begin explaining it even if she decided to tell someone about what happened to her, what was happening to her... 

As Savannah walked down the spiral staircase, she made her way to the kitchen area where she grabbed a glass of water. While she was drinking from her glass, she suddenly heard movements around her. She in took a sharp breath, grabbing a kitchen knife before making her way to the living room area. Savannah slowly stepped into the living area, slowly looking around but didn't see anything. 

Savannah sighed, turning around to go back to the kitchen before the lights suddenly went on and she heard shouting. Savannah screamed, letting the glass shatter to the floor as she pointed the knife in the direction of the noise. When Savannah managed to calm down, she finally noticed what was happening. 

Stiles, Scott, Lydia and everyone were gathered around in the living room area with birthday decorations. They all looked at Savannah, like they were waiting for her to smile and freak out or something. But all she did was stand there, breathing heavy as she looked at them confused. 

"I..-I don't..-what i-..what is this?" Savannah stuttered, not knowing what to say. Savannah slowly lowered the knife, setting it down on the counter, That's when she saw Derek walking around the corner, with a knowing look on his face. 

"I told you this was a bad idea." Derek commented, giving Stiles a look. 

"Wh-what is this exactly?" Savannah questioned, still very confused on what was happening. 

Stiles sighed, setting the small birthday cake on the table. "With everything that's been happening..And considering we missed your birthday, I thought it would be nice if we celebrated it..better late than never, right?" Stiles said with a hopeful look. 

"and how old am I turning exactly?" Savannah questioned, still looking confused.
