Something About Them // Teen Wolf [Book 5]

Amplification part 4

Back at school (yes we actually show up there from time to time) Stiles and I went looking for my brother, for some unexplainable reason we found him in the library. 'Dude, are you sick?' I asked him with a frown plastered on my face. My twin brother rolled his eyes at me before packing up his stuff. 'No, I was just trying to focus a little on making it through senior year y'know.' He shrugged. Okay, he had a point. With all that had been happening homework had been the last thing on our minds... 'Guys, guys, maybe we should focus on important things?' Stiles asked earning looks from both me and my brother. 'Graduation is not important?' I asked with raised eyebrows. 'Sure it is! Whatever you say! Look, my dad's got the lab working on the shoe prints but we're both kind of mystified about how giant clawed werewolf feet turn back into a pair of sneakers.' He said. 'Argent said it would be like anything we've ever seen before.' My brother said as we made our way down the stairs. 'Did he also say it would defy the laws of physics?' Stiles asked. 'No...'

'We've got a serious problem people! And what are we- omg! Ah!' I frowned and followed my boyfriend's gaze. 'Egh.' I muttered as we found Theo casually looking through a book. 'What are you doing here?' Scott asked. 'I still need to graduate.' Theo replied. 'No. No. What you need is to be beaten severely with a lead pipe, wrapped in barbed wire...' Stiles said causing me to giggle. 'Okay, I admit that mistakes were made...' Theo began. 'Mistakes were made?' I scoffed. 'You killed my brother!'

'Yes! Murders. Some murders were made.' Stiles agreed. 'You know how the Soviets helped us win World War II? They knew how to make it through a Russian winter.' Theo said. 'That it? Okay, thank you Theo. Very informative.' Stiles said, clearly he couldn't wait to get away from Theo. 'If you're planning to break Lydia out of Eichen house you still need to get past the mountain ash.' He continued. 'We can make it through, you can't Scott.' He said. 'You really think I'm gonna let you anywhere near my best friend? Na-ah mate. What do you really want?' I asked. 'I know you saw the fresco. Two seriously pissed off creatures, the hellhound and the beast fighting over a pile of dead bodies. I don't wanna be one of the bodies, it's that simple. I can get you to Lydia.' Theo said. 'Or we can see who gets to her first.' He shrugged. He put away the book (in the wrong place may I add) before walking away. 'I'm still angry about you kissing my girlfriend!' Stiles called him.

'There's no way he knows what Valack's doing. Why is he so interested in her?' I asked with a shake of my head. 'He probably thinks what we're all thinking. That Lydia's got something bigger to do in this. That maybe she's the only one who could actually save us.' Scott replied.

'Why is it so dark in here?' I questioned as I looked around the hallway. Scott walked over to the light switch but when he pushed it, nothing happened. 'Maybe Kira's been practising.' Stiles shrugged. Just at that moment I received a text message from Malia. 'Jep, she has. We gotta get home, they're meeting us there!'

'Okay, what did you do? Why is the power out at the school?' I asked as I walked into my house. Kira's eyes widened and she turned to Malia for help. 'Yeah, that was her.' Malia said nodding in her direction. 'She took out the whole school?' Scott asked. 'She took out the whole grid.' Malia corrected him. Kira let out a sigh. 'Look, I failed every practice try. This isn't going to work.' She said. 'How far can we get without a brownout?' Liam asked. 'About as far as the front door.' I shrugged. 'Don't tell me...' I sighed when I could see Stiles looking at me from the corner of my eye. 'I was about to say that.' He pouted. I rolled my eyes. 'We're going.' My brother said. 'Scott, we went through boxes of light-bulbs.' Kira said desperately. 'It doesn't matter. You can do this.'

'The key card won't work unless there's a reboot and there's no reboot without a brownout!'

'I know you can do this.' Scott told her. 'Anyone here think she can't?' He then asked looking around the group. We all looked at each other. 'Not me.' Liam shrugged. 'I was the one who put you in the plan.' Stiles said. 'And I get 40% credit for all of Stiles' plans so...'
