Chapter 28: 24- The book

SPY ✔︎ DEREK HALEWords: 9228

HAZEL HAD JUST FOUND OUT THAT SCOTT WAS IN THE ICE SKATE BUILDING.

Hazel knew that Derek and his packs were gonna be there so she ran as fast as she could. She pushed the door open and stopped by the ice and slowly walked looked up to see Scott stsnding there having Erica and Issac k.oed.

That's when Derek flashed out his sharp nails, while walking towards her brother slowly, his eyes glowing Alpha red.

Just in time, he started punching Scott nonstop making Hazel go crazy. Scott tried to fight back but Derek -the Alpha himself- was too strong and got him on the ice, laying there.

He stomped his foot on Scott making him choke, with blood spitting out of his mouth.

"Stop!" Hazel shouted making Derek look up then back down to her brother. That's when Derek pulled away making Scott cough and relief some air.

Hazel quickly ran towards him and got right by his side. "You okay?" He kept coughing till he stopped.

Scott started groaning in pain, holding on his side. Hazel didn't know what to do abd looked up to Derek that was only walking away with Boyd walking towards the two.

Scott lifted his head up. "Don't." he said to Boyd. "you don't want to be like them."

"You're right." Boyd said till he lifted up his shirt to reaceal a huge scratch on his waist making Hazel go insane. "i want to be like you."

Hazel bought Scott to the Animal clinic to get hin healed. "They're coming back, so we don't have much time to talk."

"What is that?" Scott mentioned to his hand.

"Rubbing alcohol. You don't want it to get infected, do you?"

Scott shook his head like a child making Hazel huff out a chuckle as he rubbed the alhcohol on his wound making Scott grunt.

"You'll heal the same. Just not as quickly, because of Derek." Their clinical said.

"Okay, how do you know all this?" Hazel questioned with Scott agreeing on her. "actually, how do you know anything?"

"It's a long story. What i can tell you is that i know about your kind." He mentioned to Scott. He grabbed a bandage. "your kind, i can help."

He put it on his wound carefully and got done. "This... he turnedto the boy that laud there with a huge big scratch from chest to belly. "this is something different."

"Well, do you know what did it?" Scott asked.

"No. But the Argents will." He said. "and this is the crucial part. They'll have some kind of record or book. I'll have the descriptions, histories, notations off all the things that they've discovered."

"Uh... all the things?" Hazel questioned. "how many different things are there?"

Suddenly, a car approached making them look out the window. The bell rang and that meant the door went open which was worse.

They quickly hid behind the other door and Scott was listening to them while Hazel watched how first Chris Argent walked in abd then with his two pther men. But the last one to ever walk in was Chris' father.

Stiles had called Scott to come pick him up. And just when they arrived they saw all the emergencies with Stiles walking towards them and got in the front.

"You okay?" Scott asked him after he let out a sigh.

"Yeah. You're right. It's not like you. I mean, its eyes were almost like, reptilian. But there was something about them." Stiles explained before Hazel asked.

"What do you mean?"

"You know when you see, like, a friend in a halloween mask, but all you can actually see are their eyes, and you feel like you know them, but you just can't figure out who it is?" He suspected.

"Are you saying you know who it is?" Scott questioned.

"No." Stiles nervously replied and turned his head to the two that had looks on their faces. "but i think it knew me."

The next day, Scott, Stiles and Hazel sat there at the stairs with Stiles helping Scott on how to apologize to Allison.

" 'I'm so sorry about the other day. I'm trying. We'll get through this. Uh, I know because I love you'." Stiles tried to think of some other words. " 'I love you more than— Oh my God! You and Allison just have to find a better way to communicate." Stiles rambled.

Scott smiled. "Come on! You're the only one that we can trust. Is she coming to the game tonight?"

"Yes, okay? Message complete." Stiles switched the topic which caught Hazel's attention. "Tell me about your boss."

Scott opened his mouth to speak as he liked back and turned back to Stiles. "He thinks that Allison's family keep some kind of records of all the things that they've hunted. Like a book."

Stiles clapped his hand in realization. "He probably means a bestiary."

Scott was confused. "A what?"

And so was Hazel. "What's a Bestiary?"

"A bestiary." The siblings chuckled at that response as they realized.

"I think you mean bestiality." Scott corrected him with a smile.

"Nope, pretty sure I don't." Stiles said, simply. "It's like an encyclopedia off mythical creatures." Hazel's mouth went open in shock due to never have heard of that but Stiles did.

"How are we the only one that doesn't seem to know anything about this stuff?" Hazel questioned.

"Okay, you know, you're my best friend, you're a creature of the night. It's kind of like a priority of mine."

"Okay. If we can find it, and it can tell us what this thing is—"

"—And who." Stiles added.

"We need a book!" They both said in the same time as they all looked to each other. That's when they stood up from the stairs and walked up.

━─━────༺༻────━─━

Scott and Hazel were walking down the hall 'till Stiles jumped next to them making Hazel jump and look at him.

"Yes. Seen her grandfather with a book like that." He said.

The next minutes Scott was at his locker with Hazel standing next to him and waiting 'till Stiles would arrive.

Suddenly, Stiles (himself) arrived with a smash against the neighbors locker, out of breath and ranted between his breaths. "She says it has to be office." The two were left in awkwardness as Stiles was making a gagging sound since he was out of breath and got Scott's inhaler and walked off to Allison again.

━─━────༺༻────━─━

Hazel arrived at the game and looked up to the benches, which was filled with people, and saw Allison with her grandfather. Hazel kept a straight face as she walked towards Stiles that sat with Coach at the bench. She secretly tapped him on the shoulder as he looked up to her and knew he had to get up and accomplish the plan.

Stiles stood up and walked in front of Hazel as she got ahead of him, already seeing Allison holding out her grandfather's key as Stiles took it without looking and they both walked behind the benches.

Stiles stuffed the key into his sports jacket and they both sighed in relief. "Let's go." They both ranted away and arrived to the parking lot.

Just as they kept on running, Stiles caught Lydia's car as he stopped Hazel that turned to him. "What?"

He tilted his head towards the car as she looked over and her face softened in worries as she recognized the car and the person in it, crying.

They walked to the other side of the car to face Lydia. Stiles was first unsure as he walked next to her window that was open.

"Hey Lydia, what's wrong?" But then, the crying girl closed the window making Hazel frown.

"Lydia, come—" He knocked on the window.

"Just go away." She cried out.

"What's wrong?" He asked her.

"Look, I don't need anyone seeing me cry." She sobbed.

"Oh, come on, Lydia. Look, you shouldn't care if people see you cry. All right? Especially you." Hazel smirked a little at that as she watched them.

Lydia looked at him with tears rolled down on her cheeks. "Why?"

Stiles paused as he went on. " 'Cause I think you look really beautiful when you cry."

That's when she opened her window again. "You're gonna think i am crazy."

"Lydia, if you trust me on anything, you can trust me on this." Stiles gave his word. "There is nothing that you can say to me that will make you sound crazy. Literally nothing."

They heard cheering and applauses from the field as they looked up. "Can you just give me five minutes?" Lydia looked at him confused. "I know. I'm sorry, just— but just stay here. Um, continue crying or not crying if you want, or whatever works for you. But just stay here and I'll be right back, okay? And then we can talk. About anything. Yeah? Okay, just five minutes."

Stiles turned to Hazel as they both quickly ran as if they were doing it for their lives to get in school.

They ran down the hallways as they stopped by the door of the office as Stiles got the keys out and unlocked the door as they both got in.

He walked to the cabinet as Hazel kept a look out for protection while he quietly ranted around. "Book, Book, Book."

"I would never sneak around. I'm too scared to even make the first step but okay." Hazel nervously said as she kept looking behind her."

Since Stiles needed a Moment the door flew open as they both quickly turn their heads to see the one and only Erica.

She moved her eyes from Stiles to Hazel as she smirked. "Funny, isn't it?"

That's when her smile fell and went for them.

S/T: Trippin', fallin', with no safety net.
