About To Be Known [Book 3]

Sudden Rain

Notes:

Hello! I'm finally free of school work, so I wrote two chapters. They are good.

A short note, I don't have much to say, I'm hiccupping right now and it hurts cause it's not stopping.

Anyway, the next chapter after I edit, give me like 10-15 minutes.

Stiles POV:

I froze.

"Klaus? What?" I ask.

Klaus was all smiling and stuff until he looked at our faces.

"What's wrong now?" Klaus asks curiously.

"Hunters." Lydia deadpans.

I sit down again while Klaus saunters in.

"Well, at least it's not some random hunter. I could maybe bargain with Chris not to murder me." I said, looking at the floor.

"He's plenty problematic." Peter scoffs.

I roll my eyes. I get the grudge with Argents, I really do, especially with that ass Gerard, but Chris has proven that he's different on occasions.

"Well, he knows I'm here, so wouldn't it be better to just meet him? I mean, he hadn't seen me since before you were locked in Eichen house, Peter, that was a while ago. Think I have the advantage here. Right?" I say to Peter and Lydia, the only two here who know Chris.

In the corner of my eye, I see Klaus mouth "locked in Eichen?" to Lydia, who just waves the question away.

"Anyway, you want some cake?" I ask Klaus.

"Sure," he says as he walks in.

This whole time he's just been standing in the open doorway. The party continues somewhat less festive than before. I introduced Klaus and Hayley, and they seemed to like each other. Klaus was more interested after knowing she was a werewolf.

"Oh yeah, Klaus, you know a lot about werewolf's, Hayley you should ask him about your family thing." I offer, I mean, Klaus might even know the information, and at least I think he should like he's super old or whatever, wisdom with age and all that.

They get off to talking, with Lydia joining in. I offered to roll out my police board, but Peter said he didn't want it in the living room, which is probably smart. I would never take it back in my room out of laziness. We ate some more cake, honestly because there was just so much of it, and werewolf metabolism means that we just got hungry quickly. But 10 Hayley went back, and Lydia and Klaus left together shortly after.

I have a weird vibe about them. Like they are hiding something, but I don't think I wanna know what they get up to when they are alone. It will probably just break my heart, not that I'm in love with Lydia anymore, but still.

After, Peter went to bed, sighing at the mess; he didn't even attempt to clean up. I looked around with a dopey smile; I was actually pretty happy about today. It was a good birthday. I took some photos, Hayley's idea, and I'm overstuffed on some birthday cake. I walked into my room and opened my laptop; I was gonna email my dad a photo. I do miss him. Maybe I'll send him my new number too.

I sent a selfie that I took of all of us and one Klaus took and a picture of all the food. I added my number, and I pressed send. After I pressed send. I hear a ding. Damn already! But it wasn't my dad. No, it was the fox guy. Well, no, it was an email from Rei, the other Kitsune that I had gotten in contact with.

The email essentially said:

"I'm in your state. Are you free?"

I looked at the clock. It was 12am. I sent my phone number back.
