Invisible String {2} TW

Ch. 1 Anchors

Stiles had just stopped his best friend, who had been running across campus as if he was being chased. "Hey. Hey, are you okay?" he asked the werewolf. Scott nodded, relieved to not be seeing the monstrous shadow behind him anymore. "You don't look all right, Scott."

"I'm okay," the new alpha lied.

"No, you're not. It's happening to you too," Stiles realized. "You're seeing things aren't you?"

Scott looked at him in surprise. "How'd you know?" he wondered.

"Because it's happening to all three of you," Lydia announced as the three girls walked over to them.

The strawberry blonde pushed the doors open and the five teenagers made their way back inside the school. Of course, Lydia was the only one smiling. "Well, well, look who's no longer the crazy one," she said.

"We're not crazy," Allison argued.

Lydia turned to face all of them. "Hallucinating? Sleep paralysis? Yeah, you guys are fine," she told them.

"You realize that if we're using those conditions as the parameters for what makes us crazy then I've been there for a while, right?" Ayla asked her.

"Yes, but you've been in the whole banshee-seer-psychic craziness with me this whole time. They haven't," Lydia reminded.

"We did die and come back to life. That's gotta have some side effects, right?" Scott asked.

"At least I won't be the only one being psycho-analyzed by Deaton anymore," Ayla teased.

But before they could continue the conversation, the bell rang. "Keep an eye on each other, okay?" Stiles asked the two other resurrected teenagers. He then turned to the seer and banshee. "And you two, stop enjoying this so much," he told them, walking off.

Ayla gave Lydia and Allison smiles, linking her arms through each of theirs. "Uh, Ayla," Scott called.

"Sorry, class," she told him, walking on with the other two girls.

Allison smiled. "Are you really going to torture him like that?" she wondered.

Ayla gave her a mischievous smirk. "What fun is it if I don't?" she asked.

How was it that Ayla had a class with both the people she was trying to avoid? She was currently in history, which also included Stiles, Scott and Piper. She was pretending to actually be interested just to avoid looking towards her ex or the other werewolf.

"Good morning, everyone. My name is Mr. Yukimura. I'll be taking over for your previous history teacher. My family and I moved here three weeks ago. I'm sure, by now, you all know my daughter, Kira. Or you might not since she's never actually mentioned anyone from school. Or brought a friend home for that matter. Either way, there she is," their teacher told them.

Everyone's attention turned to the dark haired girl sitting only a few seats back from Ayla. The girl, Kira, dropped her head onto her desk with a sigh of embarrassment. She then carefully lifed her head with a nervous smile. Ayla gave her a sympathetic one in return, before glancing around at her friends to see their reactions to the new girl.
