It's Always Been You || Stiles Stilinski

Chapter 6 - Heart Monitor

Stiles nods, chewing on the side of his lip "After work. All right, well, that gives me to the end of the school day then."

"To do what?" We squint our eyes and question at the same time back to him.

Used to our twin synchronicity, he just looks between us eye twitch and all that has me moving my lips between my teeth to hide my smile.

Stiles shakes his head and settles his gaze on Scott, enlightening us to his plan before walking off away from us "To teach you myself."

Sitting with Allison and Lydia, I'm finishing up my lunch when Lydia interrupts Ally from her reading "The what of who?"

"The beast of Gevaudan. Listen– 'A quadruped wolf like monster, prowling the Auvergne and south Dordogne areas of France during the year 1764 to 1767. La Bete killed over a hundred people, becoming so infamous that the King Louie the 15th sent one of his best hunters to try and kill it'–"

Lydia connects her eyes with mine, widening hers and lifting her shoulder "Boring."

I roll my eyes playfully as Ally continues on "–Even the church eventually declared the monster a messenger of Satan–"

Lydia hmms like she's interested, ultimately switching gears and adding "Still boring," before popping a blueberry in her mouth.

I chuckle and shake my head, looking at Allison for her to continue "–Cryptozoologists believe it may have been a subspecies of hoofed predator, possibly a mesonychid–" well my interest is peaked

Lydia drops her head back dramatically "Slipping into a coma, bored." sweet christ Lyds

Unfazed, Ally continues "–While others believe it was a powerful sorcerer who could shape-shift into a man eating monster." she ends with a whisper as she connects her eyes with us.

I interrupt Lydia from adding her two cents with a raise of my hand while I connect my eyes with Ally's "Any of this have anything to do with your family? Where did you get that book anyways?"

Ally nods, looking the book over in her hands "My aunt Kate did and yes... this– 'It is believed that La Bete was finally trapped and killed by a renown hunter who claimed his wife and four children were the first to fall prey to the creature'," She smiles and looks up at me, lifting a brow "His name was Argent." Argent does mean Silver in French

I make an impressed face as Lydia chimes in "Your ancestors killed a big wolf. So what?"

"Not just a big wolf. Take a look at this picture– what does it look like to you?"

My eyes widen and I feel like the wind was knocked out of me as I look at the picture in Allison's book. The very close resemblance of the creature that attacked the video store.

I'm snapped out of my scared shitless trance when I hear Allison mutter our names "Addy... Lydia... guys are you okay?"

I look at Lydia who looks like she saw a ghost and I clear my throat causing her snap out of it, focusing on our faces "It looks... like a big... wolf. See you in History." She quips, completely back to her cheeky self as she gets up and walks out of the room.

Stiles looks up from his book and follows her retreating form with his eyes before looking back to me and nodding his head for me to come over.

I playfully roll my eyes and grab my things "I'll see you in class Ally"
