CHAOS, teen wolf (2)

ALEX, SCOTT, AND Stiles were in the Jeep, racing after Derek, who was chasing Jackson as the kanima.

"Faster, Stiles!" Alex exclaimed as she was in the passenger seat, Scott sitting in the back, and Stiles driving, as usual.

They came across a fence, as Stiles halted the Jeep to a sudden stop, the trio slightly falling forwards from the impact.

"What do we do now?" Stiles asked, as Scott jumped out of the Jeep, and over the wired fence.

Alex sighed, remaining in the passenger seat.

"Shouldn't you go help?" Stiles asked, turning to the girl.

"I probably should, shouldn't I?" Alex sighed.

Stiles raised his eyebrows as Alex shook her head.

"Nah, he'll be fine."

"You okay?" Stiles asked as the two waited in the Jeep for Scott.

"Yeah, why?" Alex looked at him.

"Just observing." Stiles replied as he looked at his female best friend.

"I've just got a lot on my mind, that's all." Alex spoke, brushing it off and looking ahead once again.

Stiles's gaze remained, scanning Alex's face. "I understand that, but you know you can talk to me about it, right? You've always talked to me about it."

Alex nodded, looking at the ground.

"What's going on?" Stiles asked quietly, as Alex looked at the boy, her brown eyes scanning Stiles's hazel ones.

"Just...all this drama with Isaac, not being able to tell my best friend, apart from you and Scott, about what's happening around and to her, and now, Jackson being the kanima." Alex ranted, looking ahead. "It's just...it's confusing."

Stiles scanned every inch of Alex's face carefully. "I know."

"I don't know what to do." Alex looked at the boy once again. "With Lydia, with Isaac."

At the mention of Isaac, Stiles felt a pang of jealously and annoyance. But he didn't show it.

"Do what feels right. And I know how cliché and stupid it sounds, but it always seems to work in the movies, huh?" Stiles smiled.

Alex chuckled. "I guess it does."

"Let's go." Stiles spoke after a few seconds of silence.

"Yep."

••••

"Hey." Alex spoke, causing Scott to jump in surprise.

"Sorry. Did you see where he went?" Alex asked and crossed her arms.

"I lost him." Scott replied, as Alex and Stiles shared glances.

"What? That's why Alex should've come." Stiles sighed.

Alex and Scott glared at him.

Ignoring Alex and Scott's annoyed glares, Stiles continued. "You couldn't catch his scent?"

"I don't think he has one." Scott looked between his two best friends.

"Alright, any clue where he's going?" Stiles asked.

"To kill someone." Scott replied.

"Oh. That explains the claws, and the fangs, and all that." Stiles replied sarcastically. "Makes perfect sense now."
