Too Long

Chapter 9: Shin

Ramie had spent most of her time since leaving the hospital, back at the hospital with Lydia. Since Lydia's wounds were much more severe than Ramie's she was stuck there for much longer, and Ramie didn't want to leave her friend's side. Any time she wasn't with Lydia, she spent with Isaac. Ramie and Isaac hadn't talked much about the night of formal, Ramie was still shaken up over the whole thing and Isaac didn't push. The two were practically dating at that point, just without the label to make it official.

Things for Scott and Allison however, were not going smoothly. Allison had told Ramie that her Dad had caught her and Scott together and freaked out, threatening Scott and basically breaking the two of them up. However, the two of them were still sneaking around together. Therefore, when Lydia disappeared screaming, literally, from the hospital one night, she called Allison and told her and Scott to get to the hospital as soon as they could. Stiles, whom she had called first, was already pulling into the parking lot not long after.

"Did you get it?" He asked as Ramie hopped into the jeep. Ramie held up the hospital gown Lydia had left behind. She had been taking a shower when she took off from the hospital, and Scott requested something to catch her scent with, so they could try to track her down.

Ramie's phone buzzed with a text from Isaac as soon as Scott pulled up. He said he needed to talk to her, asking if she was busy. She said she'd call him later, and briefly explained the Lydia situation. He told her not to worry about him.

Ramie, not worrying about it, then found herself hiding in the woods from Allison's father, while Scott was hanging from a trap he had set. Allison's dad, thinking Lydia had been turned by Peter, was also searching for their lost friend. However, by the next day at school, Lydia was still missing. Ramie begged Melissa to let her go looking for her friend, but Melissa insisted the police had everything covered and Ramie had to attend school. Stiles informed Ramie and Scott when they got to school that morning that someone had dug up a gravesite the previous night, and ate the liver of a body. They were convinced it was Lydia, and that she was turning into a wolf.

"It's causing me severe mental anguish to admit this but he's right," Stiles whispered up to Scott during Harris' class. Ramie narrowed her eyes from next to him.

"Who's right?"

"Jackson," Stiles nodded towards the boy sitting a few rows behind them, while Scott agreed. "The next time she steals an organ from someone they're probably gonna be alive."

"This is a pop quiz Mr. Stilinksi, not a group project," Harris' voice came from the front of the room. "If I hear your voice again I may be tempted to give you detention for the rest of your high school career."

"Can you do that?" Stiles shot back, and Ramie kicked his shin under the table, begging him to shut up.

"There it is again, your voice," Harris continued. "Triggering the only time I've ever wanted to strike a student repeatedly, and violently."

Ramie could hear Jackson and Danny snickering behind them, and she shot them a look. Danny gave a forgiving smile but Jackson just smirked.

"I'll see you at 3 for detention," Harris said to Stiles. Scott turned to look at Stiles' and Ramie rolled her eyes. "You too Mr. McCall? Ramona?"

"No sir," Ramie said, turning back to her quiz while Scott shook his head. She heard Stiles and Scott laughing quietly.

"Ramona," Stiles whispered teasingly, which earned him another kick to the shin.

...

Late that night after being a good friend and going to Allison's aunt's funeral, despite the fact that Ramie knew she was a psychotic werewolf killer, and meeting Allison's creepy grandfather, Ramie went to Derek's for another training session. Once Stiles had called Ramie and told her that they had found Lydia and she was safe, Ramie headed to Derek's. They had been training regularly since they started, not long after Scott was bitten, and Ramie felt like she was really getting the hang of things.
