CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN
JUNGLE FEVER

|||||||||

               It baffled me how quickly everyone managed to disperse. Derek commanded Boyd to take Erica and Isaac back to wherever the four of them reside at. Boyd reluctantly complied and disappeared with a beat Isaac and paralyzed Erica over his broad shoulders. When they were gone, Derek took off after the extremely fast kanima– I mean, Jackson. Allison was inevitably put on Lydia duty, dragging the confused and frightened girl away from tonight's events. I was kind of hoping tonight would've been the night Lydia's seen some of the CW channel's episodic bullshit we've been going through since this sophomore year began, but she locked herself in Scott's bathroom while everything unfolded. As Allison took her away, Lydia's eyes locked with mine and she shook her head, a tear slipping from her eye. Probably because no one answered when she asked what was going on, and she was probably hoping that I would've been the one to answer her question.

Then, there's Scott. Scott immediately followed after Derek, running as fast as he could with his werewolf powers. And... I followed him. I ran right behind him, which led to him crashing into a pole because he turned around while running to command me to go back to his house with Stiles, Mini, and Sam. I reprimanded him as I pulled him up from running into the pole and he rolled his eyes, allowing me to tag along with him. Alpha Power Couple at it once again. Lastly, Sam, Mini, and Stiles were still back at Scott's house because Scott told them, including me, to stay here unless he needed them but I didn't listen because I deserved to be on the supernatural escapades just as much as Scott did. I don't want him out here doing these things alone where he could get hurt. He probably will always need my help. Scott and I were still zooming through the streets quickly, our legs running together until he surprised me by cutting through a shortcut.

"Do you even know where you're going?", I panted.

He hurriedly responded, "This is where the kanima was going!"

That wasn't totally a good plan because the kanima probably knows we're following it and is thinking of leading us right into a trap. Unfortunately, we didn't have any other plan to go with so I continued to follow after my boyfriend rapidly, breathing heavily with every step. A building came into view, the bright lights mixing in with the beautiful moon above us. Scott stopped behind the building, peering over the wall and catching his breath. The building was loud and bustling, and I had a bad idea on what it was. "Scott, did you just lead me to a club?"

He shrugged at me and I peered over his shoulder, gazing at the front of the building. It read, The Jungle, in a fancy font while it was lit up in neon. "Okay, this is definitely a nightclub", I commented, wide eyes at the scene in front of me. A bunch of guys were being admitted in by bouncers with a ticket and the music became obnoxiously louder every five seconds or so.
