Alone Wolf

Chapter 9: Only Human.

The next couple of days have been oddly quiet and we all continue life as if nothing has happened. There have been no new Chimeras or anything with the Dread Doctors in general.

We all have been avoiding each other like the plague and no one really seems to know why. I try and check on everyone once in awhile, well except Scott for we haven't been on good terms, just to make sure.

Stiles seems to be getting worse. It's like lying to Scott and everyone he loves is taking a toll on him. I try to be there for him, but we both know that we should be keeping our distance from each other for other reasons.

Lydia, Stiles and I have been trying to find the Nemeton which is where the bodies are, but last time we found the Nemeton we almost had to die. Definitely not as easy this time around trying to do it from memory.

Last but not least Theo. Theo and I, I don't even know. There have been times where I could tell him that I'm his sister and it would have been completely appropriate, but I would always chicken out. I don't know why it's so hard to tell him, but I just don't know if I can trust him and what if I tell him that I'm his sister and he uses that against us? I just can't take that chance.

Right now we are back in the forest trying to find this Nemeton again.

"It's almost like this thing doesn't want to be found."

"Maybe it knows we're late for class. Because we've been here twice"

Lydia comments as we look at the tree that we have marked two times. Groaning Lydia asks if we can talk to Parrish now, but of course Stiles isn't budging instead he puts a bit more pressure on Lydia since the Nemeton is covered by bodies and she is connected to the dead. That banshee life. Of course Lydia brings her sarcastic tone saying that she is having an off day and asks again why we can't talk to Parrish.

Stiles goes off about one of the bodies and now I realize why he doesn't want to go to Parrish. He doesn't want to have to explain how Donovans dead body is there when none of us knew about him being a Chimera in the first place. Of course Stiles's excuse doesn't work, so Lydia decides to leave and talk to Parrish and tell him that it's him he is the one stealing the bodies.

Agreeing with her I tell her good luck with that and that I'm heading to school. Stiles asks if he can catch a ride making me raise an eyebrow as he just shakes his head telling me to not say a word. I don't but I still can't help myself from chuckling a little bit. We get to school pretty quickly and I can hear Stiles's heartbeat beating pretty fast. I was going to make a remark, but he doesn't give me a chance, but instead heads straight to the doors with me following closely behind.

As we head in there Stiles asks if I'm going to class which makes me shake my head and ask him if he is.

"No, I'm going to talk to Theo."

"Okay, be careful. I'm going to talk to Scott. Apologize for how I reacted."

"You guys still haven't talked since then?"

"I barely talked to you Stiles, no we haven't talked since then."

I remark making him put his hands up in surrender before wishing me good luck and heading towards the library. As I sniff out Scott I realize that he is in the locker room which is where I head.

As I step inside some of the new guys look at me weird, but I just roll my eyes and go straight to where Scott is. I watch as he leans against his locker wheezing as he takes another puff of his inhaler.

"You know you shouldn't get dependent on that."

I tell him making him look towards me with a raised eyebrow. Looking down at the ring on my finger I start to mess with it avoiding any kind of eye contact.
