Chapter 57

H   O   U   R   S      L   A   T   E   R

For some reason, I felt the strange urge to find the urn. I sat up in my chair before standing up and heading to the door of my room. I shook my head trying to clear my head. Something didn't feel right. The normal Stiles would never belt out One Direction just because....not in public anyway. I haven't seen the others since I performed on stage. Especially after Josie and I....well...nevermind. I left the dorm going to search for Hope and Josie. I went up and down hallways searching for them but couldn't find them anywhere. I stopped in the middle of the auditorium and spun around looking for them. "Come on, sis. Where are you?" I whispered to myself. The witches were preparing for their performance backstage. "Maybe Josie's backstage getting ready." I guessed climbing on stage and heading back. I walked in but she was nowhere to be found. "Well shit." I stated. "Have you tried the woods?" Nogitsune suggested. Why are you helping me? "I....I don't know. Why AM I helping you?" He asked a bit confused. I shook my head before leaving the school and heading out into the woods in search of Josie. "How many times am I gonna be looking for this girl out in the woods?" I asked out loud. "So far...hmm...there was the time with the spider, the time with the zombies, and now. So...three." The fox answered. That was sarcasm, dumbass.

I stood in the woods with Penelope going to retrieve the urn. We stood before the barrier where I siphoned power from and the both of us walked through. "So what was in that note that you gave me?" I asked her heading to the Old Mill. I turned around and looked at her. "You were supposed to read it." She answered. "You can't just tell me what it says?" I asked again. Penelope leaned forward and pressed her lips to mine. "That's what was in it." She said with a smile. I smiled back before pressing my lips to hers one more time. "You know that we're never getting back together, right?" I pointed out. She leaned her forehead against mine as we smiled. "Jo?" I heard a voice ask.

"Jo?" I croaked. Josie and Penelope snapped their attention over to me. "Stiles!" Josie exclaimed. "Wh--What are you--what are you doing?" I asked. Josie couldn't speak. She was probably shocked that I had caught her. "Is this why I couldn't find you all day? Because of her?" I asked. "Stiles...it's not what it looks like." Penelope stated. I shook my head clenching my jaws. I backstepped before walking away. "Stiles!" Josie called out. I ignored her walking away. She ran over to me and stood in front of me. "What Josie?! Huh?! What?!" I shouted. "It's not what it looks like. I don't like Penelope." She said. "Really? Because your mouth and tongue down her throat say otherwise, Saltzman." I spat with a glare brushing passed her. "Stiles please." Josie begged in tears. I abruptly stopped and spun around on my heels. "I never should've trusted my instincts. Every single time I love someone...they either end up dead or they disappoint me. Well guess what Jo? You're sure as hell not dead. And I'm passed disappointed." I ranted my eyes flashing orange. "God Josie! I trusted you!" I shouted shaking my head. "Nik-" She started. "DO NOT CALL ME THAT!" I raged jabbing a finger in her direction as more tears raced down my face. I curled my hand into a fist before walking backwards a few steps before turning away and disappearing into the woods a smoky black blur.
