Another Hale

Chapter 4

Jackson backed from behind a row of lockers. Him and this other guy are the only ones other than Derek and I in here. Derek wanted to talk to Jackson about what he saw. I decided to tag along.

Jackson jumped back and hit his back against a locker trying to get away from Derek. Derek just walked up to him. 

"I-I don't know where Scott is." Jackson told Derek.

"I'm not here for Scott. I'm here for you." Derek said.

"Wh-wh-why me? I didn't do anything." Jackson stutter. I need to record this ,Jackson actually stuttering in fear of someone. 

"No, but you saw something, didn't you?" I smirked at him. His eyes widened when he saw me. He looked back and forth between Derek and I.

"No, I didn't see anything."Jackson said nervously.

"What was it? An animal? A mountain lion?" Derek asked ,stepping closer. I stayed back and leaned against a locker.

"I didn't see anything. I swear. I'm-I'm not lying." 

"Then calm down and say it again." Derek instructed him.

"Say what? That I'm not lying?" Jackson asked.

"Tell us you didn't see anything. Slowly." I added from my spot.

"I didn't see anything. I'm not lying." Jackson said slowly. Jackson watched Derek nervously as he processed it.

"One more thing," Derek reached up and grabbed Jackson's hair ,making him look down. "You should really get that checked out." Derek told him ,referring to the claw mark on the back of his neck. Those are still there. Oh, right, he can't heal like we do.

Derek let go of Jackson's head. "Jess get to class." He instructed me. He started walking away. I nodded and glanced at Jackson once before walking out.

I skipped my classes despite Derek telling me to go to him. Then I got a text from Stiles telling me he found something. He sent me his address and told me to come over.

I knocked on the door five minutes later. Sheriff Stilinski opened the door.

"Hey, Jessica, looking for Stiles?" He asked with a smile.

"Yeah" I said shortly but sent him a smile so I didn't seem rude.

"He's in his room" Sheriff told me. He told me which one was his and I walked to it.

I knocked on the door. He opened it the first noise the door made. That surprised me. He grabbed my hand and pulled me to his desk. He let go of my hand to grab a phone. He pulled something up on the phone. 

It was a video. There was a part of the video where you could see red eyes on a creepy face as it jumped out the window. It's the alpha.

"Where did you get a video of the alpha?" I asked.

"It's Lydia's phone. She had it." Stiles said. "I called Scott to get here but his phone is off"

I tried calling him a couple times but he still didn't answer. After that we waited for a couple hours for Scott. He didn't show up or call or even text. Finally, Stiles just gave up waiting for him and deleted the video.

***

I walked into class behind Scott. He sat behind Stiles while I sat next to him. Stiles just continued to look towards the front. 

"Are you still not talking to us?" Scott asked him. Stiles is mad at Scott because he didn't do anything at the parent/teacher conferences that I didn't go to.
