It's Always Been You || Stiles Stilinski

Chapter 69 - Lies of Omission

"What do you mean? Where– no, no how do you know where he's taking them?" Stiles stammers out, resting his hands on his hips.

I clear my throat and move past him to sit on the edge of my bed "You know how Lyds was helping him over the summer research the bestiary trying to figure out what he is?"

Stiles doesn't let up on his furrowed brow adorable confused expression and at his nod with my question, I continue "Well she told me something he mentioned to her. Jordan has been having this dream– the same dream every night for a while. He's walking in the woods carrying a body and every night he's taking the body to the same place– a big tree stump in the middle of the woods."

Stiles brows raise as his eyes widen slightly "Holy shit"

I set my hands on either side of me as I cross my legs and sit further back on the bed, elaborating "So maybe it started out as a dream for what he would need to do should this situation ever arrive."

"Okay but we still don't know what Jordan is right?" Stiles inquires as he quickly moves to sit on my bed in front of me.

I shake my head softly "No– mainly because Jordan doesn't have any special powers or signals as to what he could be. Except we can add one thing to the list– human fire torch who needs to take dead supernatural bodies to the main power source that drew him here in the first place."

Stiles lifts one side of his mouth to humor me before he sighs and reaches out, setting his hand on top of mine "We need to tell him and my dad what we found"

Making a noise of disagreement I offer "I kind of think we should only tell Scott and Lyds for now."

Stiles draws his brows in and nods towards me with his silent question. I shrug and offer "Jordan has no idea what he's doing– he doesn't seem to remember anything regarding taking the bodies and he seems to only be dangerous or cause destruction when someone tries to get in his way of taking them."

"And after how my dad reacted tonight at the hospital–" Stiles trails off and I squeeze his hand as I softly finish for him "If he knew the truth– he would definitely get in his way." and we can't let that happen

It's been five days since we got Liam and Hayden back, five days since we found out about Jordan.

We told Scott and Lydia about him being the one to take the bodies and they agreed with Stiles and I that we should keep this between us. Not telling Noah about Jordan– or even Jordan about Jordan– feels awful however it's a lie of omission we can tolerate for the time being to keep them safe

We haven't seen any new Chimeras, and we haven't seen the Dread Doctors.

Scott's asthma is back– we have no idea how it came back but it did. He has his inhaler on him always and seems to be clinging to it just as bad as before he was a werewolf.

We haven't heard from Kira since her and her parents left to figure out what is happening with her. Kira shared with Scott a memory she triggered with the Dread Doctors, they did something to her the night of Scribe Night when she was stuck in the traffic jam with her parents. Her inner fox is taking over and until she can make sure she won't hurt any of us– she needs to stay away and fix what the doctors broke.

Mom shared that herself and Noah actually found a link between all the chimeras the Doctors have created– all of them were already genetic chimeras to begin with. Their medical records, that mom definitely didn't steal for non official police business, showed that they all had previously received allogeneic transplants, meaning they all received skin grafts or other tissue from other humans and were already carrying two sets of DNA prior to the Dread Doctors interference.
