Inexplicable (DEREK HALE)

Chapter 15

"I better be going." Matt trails off, pulling away from the embrace. "See you tomorrow?"

"Yeah, see you tomorrow." She bids a goodbye and answers her phone. "Hello?"

"Can you get to the station?" Her dad's voice came through the phone.

"Is everything okay, dad?" She frowns.

"Your brother has been getting himself into trouble, can you please come down here." He sighs, stress clear through his voice.

"Yeah, of course, i'm on my way." Sarah responds, grabbing her keys and leaving the house. When she walks into the police stations, she is immediately greeted with Mr Whittmore. "Mr Whittmore? Is everything okay?"

"Sarah? What are you doing here?" He asks in response.

"My dad called and said he needed me for something, are you okay?" Sarah asks, concerned for her best friend's dad.

"You don't know?" He frowns.

"Know what?" Sarah questions in return.

"Your brother and Scott McCall kidnapped Jackson today." Mr Whittmore reveals.

"They did what?" Sarah says raising her voice and crunching her eyebrows.

"That was my reaction too." He sighs and walks back into the interrogation room, Sarah walks into her dad's office where she finds Scott and Stiles on the phone.

"What the hell were you doing and why didn't you phone me?" Sarah asks them.

"We knew you would disagree, so we didn't tell you." Stiles instantly answers. "We took him after he turned into the Kanima and tried to explain what was happening."

"So he was in a fugue state, like Lydia?" Sarah says and they nod.

"He'd have to forget everything. The murder, coming home..." Scott trails off.

"Getting rid of the blood." Allison bluntly replies.

"But he had help with one thing. The video." Stiles frowns. "Someone else helped him forget that."

"Whoever's controlling him." Sarah tells them and they share a nod.

"Are you sure Jackson had no clue about any of this?" Allison questions.

"He thinks he's still becoming a werewolf and that being with Lydia somehow delayed the whole thing." Stiles scoffs.

"So do we try to convince him he's not?" Allison asks.

"If it helps us figure out who's controlling him, then yeah." Scott replies.

"You think he'll talk to us after what we did?" Allison asks and that's when Scott and Stiles look at Sarah.

"Not us." They say simultaneously and Sarah notices their gazes on her.

"Me? Really?" she sighs and that's when Scott and Stiles are dragged into an interrogation room. After they were given their restraining order, Sarah took Stiles home so they didn't have to watch their dad get shouted at by Stilinski. They leave for school early the next day and meet Allison in the library, who hands over a translated version of the bestiary.

"It's everything Lydia could translate. And trust me, she was very confused." Allison tells them as Sarah looks over Lydia's notes.

"What did you tell her?" Scott questions.

"That we're part of an online gaming community that battles mythical creatures." Allison informs them.

"I am part of an online gaming community that battles mythical creatures." Stiles tells them.
