Beacon Hills

Chap. 8 Bright Lights & Late Nights

Lydia

Just like every morning, when I wake up I stretch my arms out, out of habbit of course. But this time, I couldn't. Then I realized Stiles had his arms wrapped around me. "Stiles." I whispered. "Stiles." "What dad? I'm trying to sleep." He turned over and let me go. I laughed a little. I got up and opened the curtains, letting the sun be the light in my room.

After I took a shower, changed my bandages, and got ready for school, I went back into my room to see shirtless Stiles, sitting on my bed. "Well good morning." I said catching his attention. "Oh hey. Sorry, I guess I fell asleep last night.. I uh, was just making sure, that you were.. Safe." he mumbled. "Thank you, Stiles." I said. He nodded. I could tell he was nervous.

"Hey, I'm gonna go ahead and go to my house so I can get ready for school. See you there?" he said. "Yepp. Bye Stiles. And once again, thank you for taking care of me last night." "No problem." He said and grabbed his keys, then left my room. I wish I would've gave him a hug before he left.

Stiles

I woke up to the sun in my face and groaned. Then I realized that dad is probably gonna kill me when I get home. "Well good morning" Lydia said walking out of her bathroom. I told her good morning and explained everything about last night. Shoot. I have to get ready for school. "Hey, I'm gonna go ahead and go to my house so I can get ready for school. See you there?" Lydia nodded and said, "Yepp. Bye Stiles. And once again, thank you for taking care of me last night." "No problem." I said getting my keys and rushing down the stairs and out to my Jeep. I got in and put the key in the ignition. "Gosh I hope Lydia is okay." I mumbled and then pulled out of the drive way.

When I got home, dad, Kaisen, Jasmine, Scott, and mom were all sitting at the table. "Where the hell were you Stiles?!" Dad yelled. "I stayed with Lydia last night-" "You did what?!" he cut me off. "Relax dad. She was just, scared and so I told her I would stay with her until her mom got home and I ended up falling asleep." "And while all of that was happening you didn't think to call me? Your mother and I were worried sick! And why don't you have on a shirt?!" the only thing I could think of is, how could my mother be worried about me if she's dead? "Whatever dad." I said and walked up stairs to my room.

Jasmine

"Dad.. Maybe you took it to far. He seemed kind of hurt." I said. "Took it to far?! Jasmine he didn't come home last night and now that he returns from some girls house he isn't wearing a shirt? He's lucky I went so easy on him. And the three of you all came home late also. For the second or third night in a row. Whats going on?" I looked at Scott and Kaisen. "They've all been staying after school to practice. And I watch them." I lied. Kaisen looked at me and smiled. "Mmhmm. Well its still no excuse for your brother to stay at another girls house without telling me." Dad grabbed his coffee and walked out of the kitchen. "Thank God." Scott said. "Yeah, no kidding." I laughed. "Come on lets get Stiles and leave for school."

Kaisen

I was walking up to the school doors with Liam, when he asked, "Who was that guy, and what is his problem?" This is gonna take a while. "I'll tell you during lunch. We're gonna need some time."

*Lunchtime*

"So, bout that guy," Liam said sitting down beside me. "First off, his name is Jackson Whittemore. Former captain of the lacrosse team. Kanima, now werewolf," I said. "Kanima?" he asked. "Man-lizard." He gave me a questioning look.

"Sometimes, when a person gets the bite, instead of becoming a werewolf, they become something that reflects their personality. Jackson became a Kanima, a bipedal lizard, that has a master. His 'master' was Matt Daehler. Matt is the reason that Isaac lives with Derek." "What he do for that to happen?" "Matt wanted vengeance against one of the former swim teams. Isaac's dad was the coach, and Matt made the Kanima, kill him. And the rest of the team. After someone, Allison's grandfather, killed Matt, Jackson became a real werewolf and moved to London," I finished my explanation. Liam took a deep breath. "That's a lot," he sighed. "Thats Beacon Hills for ya."
