Egregious • Theo Raeken | Teen Wolf

Three

I have grown used to the fact that there are supernatural creatures roaming the earth, even Beacon Hills. I don't think I will ever get used to the dead bodies that we always seem to find.

After learning of my brother being a werewolf and being on a supernatural hitlist, death makes me fear for my brother and my friend's safety even more than usual. Whatever caused that van to crash last night, wasn't human.

Kira, Lydia, and Malia had stumbled upon the sight because Lydia had a feeling. It was a prison transport van and apparently, this Tracy girl has gained some new abilities.

Lydia's voice breaks me out of my trance.
"Tracy wasn't just having trouble sleeping. It was a real disorder. It was night terrors." She explains.
"Well, now she's the night terror." Stiles say. "Especially since no one can find her."

I roll my eyes at his comment and stifle a groan.

"Okay, I know we're all tired and miserable..." Scott says before glancing over to Mason. "Except for you."

Liam had finally come clean to Mason about... everything. After being chased by a wolf at the school, I couldn't blame Mason for being excited to learn more about this crazy world. I was too. But, Mason hasn't seen what I have. He hasn't seen dead bodies on the regular. I'm just glad that Mason is accepting.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Mason says grinning. "This is all just mind blowing."
He looks over to Kira and say, "You're a Kitsune... I don't even know what that is!"
Kira looks at him, "I'm still learning." She replies awkwardly.

"Liam, we said you could tell him. Not invite him to the inner circle." Stiles sighs.
"I'm in the inner circle?" Mason asks, with wide eyes and glee.
"No!" Liam, Stiles, and I had all say at the same time, causing the boy to cower slightly.

"Let's get back to Tracy." Scott suggests. "She's one lone wolf. We can find her."
"One lone serial killing wolf." Malia says.
"She only killed one person... The other two were mauled." Stiles says.

"How can we catch her? What are we going to do?" I ask Scott.
"I say we put her down." Malia suggests, and I accidentally let a giggle slip out.

"Intense." Mason says. I shake my head at his expression. I love Mason as a brother, him being around my house all the time, I'm used to his antics and personality. But right now, the looks he's getting from the others is grief. Grief of him knowing their secrets.

"Let's find her first." Scott says. "We'll figure it out later."

I've had a shadow ever since we left the pack meeting. Mason. For some reason, his interest was focused on me.
"What do you want?" I finally ask him.
"I uh... I.." He stutters.

"Well?" I ask.
"Okay. Liam's a werewolf, Scott is his alpha. Scott's girlfriend is a Kitsune, Lydia is a Banshee. Malia is a werecoyote. Where does that leave you and Stiles?" He asks.

I sighed and motioned for him to sit down at one of the tables in the library.

"Human. We're humans, just like you." I say. His excited gaze falls, and I scoff as his reaction.

"Look, I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but dealing with the supernatural is just as hard as being one. It's no walk in the park, Mason. There's a lot of stuff that you can never be prepared for." I explain.

"So, no magical powers? No shapeshifting?" He asks.
"No. Stiles was possessed once... and well... Sometimes, I can feel people's emotions but that's just simple empathy." I reply.
