[5] Awkward Ex Encounters

Claire:

I stiffen as someone walks up behind me, but immediately let out a sigh of relief when I see that it's Stiles.

"I'll see you later Claire." Danny dismisses himself but not before sending a pointed look towards Stiles.

"He does not like you." My words earn me a random grumble from an offended Stiles. As I go to grab his arm I stop upon noticing his soggy clothes.

"Why were you in a pool? You reek of chlorine and you're soaking wet." Narrowing my eyes and scrunching my nose, I shrug off my coat for him to take.

"Oh you know, just felt like taking a little recreational late night dip." He quips all the while avoiding my out stretched hand.

I roll my eyes and practically fight him to put it on. "Stop acting like a child."

"Well stop treating me like one. Despite what you may think I actually can dress myself." His annoyance is clear, but I give him a tight lipped smile as I successfully put both his arms through the coat.

"They're staring, you know." Stiles informs me, ignoring his comment I secure the coat around him.

"And probably listening." I add, while looking quickly behind us. Just towards my brother. Nowhere else.

"Just make sure you get home safe, because I really think I should leave right about now." Honestly does this kid not remember the fact that werewolves have super hearing?

He gives me a mock salute as I get in the drivers seat of my car. "Do not lose that coat or I will break all your batman dvds." I jokingly threaten.

My fingers tap along the steering wheel as I drive back home. After last night I've been trying to narrow down who the Kanima can possibly be.

Unfortunately it's down to just Lydia and Jackson, since they had both been bitten by an alpha. But with what Scott texted me about Derek and his pack testing out everyone, I now I'm on a very small time limit.

Also when he told me what they were doing with the Kanima venom, I couldn't help but laugh. Honestly, am I the only one who realizes that the Kanima will be effected by its venom since he or she doesn't even know that they're immune to it?

Then again I am in the business of reading any supernatural book I can get my hands on these days. Which I doubt others tend to do.

Pulling up to my driveway I let out a short breath of relief upon noting the lack of Derek and his pack.

With a quick rush of gathering my things in my arms I head over to my front door. My total focus goes into searching for my front door keys which in hind sight I'll admit was dumb.

Some one clears their throat from behind me, making me stop mid door unlocking. I feel my face start warming up as I look at my unexpected audience.

When the heck did they get here? I look between the two members of Derek's pack, they look familiar but since its dark outside I can't really get a good enough look.

Letting out an irritated huff, I stop staring at the two betas and glare at Derek to send home the point that I'm doing fine even after what happened.

Liar, my heart quietly mumbles out...shut up heart, since when have you ever made a good decision.

The sound of a fight is what causes me to stop my very odd internal battle. I turn back towards the house then back at the werewolves in front. Dang it, I guess I can correctly assume that's where the third beta is at
