Another Hale

Chapter 26

I went to the animal clinic with Stiles. Scott was already there. He had got a call from Deaton in the middle of chemistry. He told Scott he was going to be taken. Stiles called his dad after Scott had left. Then Stiles got me from the house and we went to the animal clinic.

"Alright, we're gonna do everything we can. Right now the best thing you can do is go back to school." Sheriff Stilinski tells Scott. Scott nods his head to the back. Stiles and I get the message and walk back with him. We go into the cat room. 

"We have to tell him." Scott tells Stiles when we're away from the door.

"You mean like tell him tell him ,or tell him something else that isn't telling him what I think you want to tell him?" Stiles asked. 

"You know what I mean." Scott said. 

"You remember how your mom reacted? She didn't look you in the eye for ,like, a week." Stiles reminded him.

"And she got over it ,and- and it actually made us closer." Scott said.

"I know ,dude. I mean ,look at him. He's completely overwhelmed as it is." Stiles tried to find an excuse.

"He's overwhelmed because he was no idea what's going on." I point out. Stiles sends me a look to be quiet. 

"You are not helping." Stiles told me. I just shrugged.

"He's got people dying in his town ,the town he's supposed to protect, and it's not his fault that he doesn't know what's happening. He's gonna find out sooner or later." Scott said.

"Yeah, but is now really the right time?" Stiles asked.

"What if not telling him now gets someone else killed?" Scott asked.

"What if telling him gets him killed ,huh?" Stiles countered. I grabbed his hand and squeezed it lightly. He looks over at me before pulling his hand away so he could wrap his arm around my shoulders ,pulling me into his side. "I mean ,okay, look, I get that Deaton's been like a father to you. I get that ,okay? But this is m... Scott, this is my actual father. I can't... I can't lose both my parents ,alright? Not both of them." Stiles told his best friend.

He sounded so broken in that moment. I could barely listen to him. I wrap my arms around his waist ,hugging him tightly.

"You're right." Scott said.

"No, I'm not. I'm not right." Stiles countered ,sighing in defeat. "I'll tell him."

"I'll help you." Scott told his best friend. 

"We both will." I pulled away from Stiles to grab his hand. He squeezed it tightly ,knowing he isn't going to hurt me. I gently pull him forward so he was in between me and Scott while walking through the door.

"Please, whatever you need, however you can help find my brother." It was our guidance counselor ,she also helped the alphas.

"Will you excuse us for a minute?" Sheriff Stilinski asked. Him and his deputy left the room. Ms Morell walked over to us.

"Okay, listen closely, all three of you. No Sheriff ,Deputy ,or detective is going to be able to find him." She told us.

"You don't have to ask us to help." Scott told her.

"Actually, I'm trying to help you ,because, if you going to find my brother, then you need to use the one person who might actually have an ability to seek out the supernatural." Ms. Morell tells us.

"Lydia." I realized.

"A ouija board?" Lydia asked. We had found her in the locker room being threaten by Cora so she would stop seeing Aiden. I sent a text to Scott ,who had also been trying to find her, to tell her that we found her. Now we needed her to find Deaton.
