Scar | Teen Wolf [Book 1]

Omega

Scarlett walks into the hospital, quickly stopping by the nurses station and handing her mom a bag of Chinese takeout. "Oh, thank you my favorite child." Melissa beams, taking the bag from her daughter's hand.

"Care to say that again on recording?" Scarlett teases, a smirk present on her face.

Melissa smiles but shakes her head, "Here to see Lydia?"

"You know it." Scar turns her head to look towards her friends room but she doesn't see her.

"She just went into the shower," Scar turns to face the voice. Mrs. Martin is standing there with a smile on her face.

Scar nods in acknowledgement, smiling back. "I'll just go bother that loser then." She points at Stiles who is slumped in a waiting room chair with a 'Get Well Soon' balloon gripped tightly in his hand. She walks over to Stiles and lifts her foot up to lightly kick his stomach. "Get up."

Stiles grumbles but opens his eyes, "Hey Scar," he yawns. He slowly stands up, stretching his long limbs.

"Let's go for a walk." She gently grabs his arm and pulls him with her, away from Lydia's room.

Stiles stops Scar at the vending machine, "You want some m&m's?"

She nods, "Yeah sure, thanks." Scar leans against the machine as he puts the money in.

"Seriously?" He starts taping on the window but the candy doesn't budge. He then smacks his hand against the window as Scar watches on in amusement. "Help me shake the machine."

"What?"

"So the candy will fall. Help or move so I can do it." Scar rolls her eyes but steps to the side and grabs onto the vending machine to help Stiles rock it back and forth.

Stiles is muttering under his breath and next thing they know the machine slips through their fingers and crashes to the floor. Scar gasps as the duo freeze. They look at each other then Stiles quickly walks around the machine, grabs Scarlett's hand and they walk away like nothing happened.

They don't make it very far before they hear a loud scream, Lydia's scream. Without thinking the two teens let go of each other's hand and run towards her hospital room. They make it to her room right behind Lydia's parents and Scarlett's mom. "What the hell was that?" Melissa asks.

They gather at the open bathroom door. The shower is still running, water flowing over the side of the tub. The window in the bathroom is open and the curtains move with the breeze. There is no sign of Lydia.

Stiles and Scarlett linger behind the Martin's, Melissa, and Sheriff Stilinkski. They are talking about Lydia disappearing. "All right, let's get an A-P-B out for a sixteen year old redhead. Any other descriptors?" 

The sheriff turns his head to Lydia's parents as he asks but instead of either of them answering, his son does. "She's five-foot-three, green eyes, fair-skinned and her hair is actually strawberry blonde."

Everyone turns to Stiles. Mr. Stilinski breaks their gaze by speaking once more, "What are you still doing here?"

"Providing moral support?" Stiles answers, glancing at Scar.

"How about you provide your ass back home where you should be?"

"And take Scarlett home too?" Melissa asks him.

Scarlett gapes at her about to argue but Stiles speaks before she can, "I can do that." They both walk away, passing by a group of confused hospital workers staring down at the vending machine.
