Silvern | Stiles Stilinski (Book 2)

Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Sword and The Spirit

When we arrived at the hospital, body bags were being transported through the hallways on gurneys. I felt sick as I watched tem go by, there were so many. "Who found them?" Stiles asked as we approached his dad.

The man glanced at me, "Argent. And he said the Doctors were down there, he also said you guys might know what this thing is"

"We've got a theory" Scott sighed.

"It's a slightly terrifying theory"

Stilinski nodded, leaning on his walking stick as he searched for the right words. "Well, the ME said that the victims were killed somewhere else and then dumped in those tunnels"

I frowned, "What if the Dread Doctors are hiding the bodies?"

"Why would they do that?" Kira glanced at me anxiously.

"Maybe they're covering for it, protecting it like a parent would" Stiles paused.

Stilinski raised his eyebrows, "Protecting what?"

Scott huffed, "A werewolf"

"It's called The Beast" I explained.

"We know, horrifying" Stiles interrupted.

His dad nodded slowly, "We better figure out what we're gonna call Parrish because it looks like his dream is coming true"

Scott and I looked around the school hallway worriedly. The students were tense, staring at the Deputies carrying large guns. I noticed Stiles talking to one of them and nudged Scott, nodding to them.

"You don't tink tis is a bit much in terms of firepower for a high school?" Stiles asked.

The Deputy shrugged, "Your dad's te one that issued us these things, and he wouldn't officially say why"

Stiles glanced at us and I sighed, "Did e say anyting unofficially?"

"No, but everyone's got a theory"

"What's yours?" Scott questioned.

The Deputy frowned as he looked around at us, "I shouldn't be talking to you guys. Don't you have class?"

Stiles rolled his eyes, "Come on, Strauss. What's your theory?"

He glanced at the other Deputies who were stood a little way off before stepping closer, "Do you guys believe in the supernatural?"

We entered Scott's house and I grinned, hugging Malia. She actually hugged back, leaning her head on my shoulder and smiling. When we pulled away I ran over to Liam and wrapped my arms around him, he hugged me back, grimacing when I ruffled his hair. Stiles cleared his throat and we headed back to the table, examining the blueprints that he had spread out. We glanced around at each other, relieved that the pack was back together. Liam set a book of Eichen House's security logs down on the table and Scott sighed, "Now we get Lydia"

As I closed the door of my apartment behind me, I caught a familiar scent. "What the hell are you doing here?" I growled, spinning around and flashing my blue eyes and my claws at the man.

"Now, that's no way to greet your dear old grandpa, is it?"

"You have some nerve showing up here after everything you did" I spat.

He chuckled, "Easy there, Ana," he seemed to say my name in a taunting voice as he stepped closer, "We wouldn't want you to lose control, especially since your eyes now show what you really are"

I heard another set of footsteps as Chris walked into the room, "Ana, it's okay. He's with me, I'll make sure he keeps to his promise"

I nodded reluctantly, returning my eyes to their normal colour and retracting my claws. "I supose you know why we're here?" Gerard asked.

"The bodies you found. They were killed by the monster that the Dread Doctors resurrected" I sighed.

"You know which monster it is, sweetheart. Don't be afraid to speak its name. After all, it's part of your family history"

There was a pause as I nodded, "La Bête du Gévaudan"

A/n:
There are no words that can begin to describe how much I hate Gerard. But anyway, thank you for reading and have a nice day!
