Unbreakable➳ Lahey [book 2]

An Unfair Battle

Daire and her friends still had no idea what the hell happened to Lydia.

The Argent girls managed to get her off the ice and into the parking lot. The brisk night air seemed to help her calm down, the strawberry blonde now acting as if she didn't just scream her lungs out. 

First she screamed like a banshee and now....dead silence.

After the scream's echo dissipated the teens were surrounded by unbearable silence. Lydia practically became mute and wouldn't speak a word. She wouldn't even look at Allison or Daire in the eye. The fact that she wasn't uttering a single world scared Daire more than her scream.

Allison offered to drive her home, since Lydia's car was still parked in the Argent's driveway. Figuring that Lydia might be more likely to open up if it was just Allison in the car, Daire grabbed her bag and waved goodbye. Ten minutes later, she was still in the lot with Scott and Stiles, trying to figure out what she had seen.

"There was nothing under that ice," Scott repeated, again.

"And the title Captain Obvious goes to Scott McCall," Daire muttered sarcastically. "I know there's nothing under there. But whatever she saw scared the shit out of her. It's not like she was screaming just to scream. She saw something and whatever it was, well it must've been terrifying. Just watching her was terrifying."

"There was nothing under there," Scott repeated.

"Scott, Lydia was clawing at the ice!" Daire yelled. "Just because we can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there. For all we know this could be a side effect of Peter's germ infested bite."

"What about the bite? I thought Lydia was perfectly fine?" Stiles asked.

" Well if were basing this on the concept that the bite should turn one into a werewolf,  then yeah she's fine. But all that means is that my family doesn't have the motive to shoot wolfsbane bullets at her." 

"What are you saying?" the two boys asked.

" Look at it this way, Peter bit me but I didn't turn on the full moon. Which means I'm not a werewolf, but I have enhanced senses and can feel emotions. For Lydia when she initially got bit, the doctors said she was having an allergic reaction. Like she was immune, meaning like me, she wont become the she-wolf Peter was planning on creating," Daire stated. " And now, she's escaping from hospitals naked, just to run around the woods for two days with no recollection of what she did, and is now seeing things no one else can see, things that are causing her to scream bloody murder. Lydia might not be a werewolf, but she's definitely something."

Daire was walking to lunch, ready to devour her PB&J when her cell buzzed in her back pocket. She fished it out and automatically let out a groan. 

From: Scott

Erica wouldn't say whose next could u talk to Isaac in french? thnx

Daire knew that Scott and Stiles' plan of Scott just walking up to Erica and asking would never work. But what annoyed her was the fact that Scott didn't even realize that Isaac was a fugitive. Which means he's not in school.  Which also means they've got nothing.

Yep her friends are idiots.

Daire let out an aggravated  sigh, ready to punch something, or Scott. Yeah maybe she would punch Scott. The heels of her combat boots clicked across the linoleum floor and she pushed through the double doors of the cafeteria. Across the room she could see Stiles' fall spastically into the chair next to Scott, beginning a hushed conversation. 

Daire began to hum the new Fairy Tail theme as she walked over towards her table. Halfway through the tune, she passed an empty table. Daire raised a confused eyebrow and slowed the tune down as she stared at the vacant table, trying to figure out why it bothered her so much. She stopped humming the Fairy Tail theme trying to figure it out.
