The Strawberry Blonde~~Lydia Martin

1.7.2

After being chased through the hallways for a little bit, we manage to make it to the cafeteria. I set Lydia down before leaning over, out of breath from running and carrying Lydia. Scott and Jackson start pushing things in front of the door. "Scott, wait, not here." Stiles tells him. "What was that? Scott?" Allison asks. "What came out of the ceiling?" Lydia panics.

"Just help me! Stack the chairs" Scott calls out. Allison and Lydia start helping as I stare with my arms crossed. Stiles starts trying to get their attention as I turn to look at him before looking at the windows. I guess it was a good thing I wasn't helping then. "Guys? Stiles talking. Can we hang on one second please?" Stiles tries again but no one listens.

"Hey, morons!" I call out and finally everyone stops. "Thank you, Alex. Okay, nice work. Really beautiful job, everyone. Now, what should we do about the 20 foot wall of windows?" Stiles motions to the windows. "Can somebody please explain to me what's going on, because I'm freaking out here. And I'd like to know why" Allison panics, gripping onto Scott.

Scott looks over at her, not knowing what to say. "Scott?" Allison asks. He grunts, walking away from her and turning his back to everyone. I walk towards Allison, trying to comfort her. "It's all right, Alli. Just please calm down." I tell her softly. The others turn to look at Stiles but Stiles was just as stumped on what to say as Scott. Scott glances back at Stiles and Stiles sighs.

"Somebody killed the janitor" Stiles starts off. "What?" Lydia asks confused. "Yeah, the janitor's dead" Stiles sighs. He walks towards the group as Scott tries to pull himself together. "What's he talking about? Is this a joke?" Allison laughs incredulously. "Who killed him?" Jackson asks as everyone looks at Scott who still had his back to everyone.

"No, no, no, no. This-this was supposed to be over. The mountain lion killed-" "Don't you get it. There wasn't a mountain lion" Jackson cuts Lydia off. "Who was it? What does he want? What's happening? Scott!" Allison snaps and I could see Scott having an internal battle with himself. "I-I don't know. I-I just...if we go out there, he's gonna kill us" Scott stutters out.

"Us? He's gonna kill us?" Lydia asks worriedly, gripping onto Jackson. "Who? Who is it?" Allison demands, looking over at Stiles. "It's Derek!" I blurt out. Everyone turns to look at me confused, even Scott turns around with wide eyes. "It's Derek Hale. He threatened me once" I make up. "Wait, Derek killed the janitor?" Jackson asked confused. "Are you sure? How do you know?" Allison asks looking at me.

"I saw him" Scott quickly agrees as Stiles looks between us in disbelief. "The mountain lion-" Lydia starts. "No, Derek killed them!" Scott cuts her off. "All of them?" Allison asks. "Yes. Starting with his own sister" Scott nods. "The bus driver?" "And the guy in the video store. It's been Derek the whole time" Scott continues to lie, his back facing us again.

"He's in here with us. And if we don't get out now...he's going to kill us too" Scott says, turning to look at us. Jackson, Lydia and Allison begin to freak out more as I back away from them towards Scott. I don't know what came over me but I didn't like seeing everyone freaking out. Plus, the guy was an asshole and he just popped in my head.

"Call the cops" Jackson points over at Stiles. "No." Stiles quickly answers, without hesitation. "Wh-what do you mean 'No'?" Jackson scoffs. "I mean no. You wanna hear it in Spanish? Noh" Stiles tells him as the others look at him in disbelief while I back up to where I'm beside Scott. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that" I mumble. "It's better than not answering at all" He sighs.

"Look, Derek killed three people, okay? We don't know what he's armed with." Stiles brings up. "Your Dad is armed with an entire Sheriff's department. Call him" Jackson snaps. "I'm calling." Lydia quickly says. "No, Lydia, would you just hold on a second" Stiles tries but Jackson quickly pushes him away as Scott and I jump in to stop the two. "Back off and calm down" I tell Jackson, sending him a scowl.
