《The Monster Inside ➺ Scott. M》Chapter 5
Advertisement
Astrid and Scott were at the animal Clinic. She told Scott that she just wanted to see what it's like to work at the Vets and that she also likes working with animals. He was hesitant but he let her come along. In reality, she wants Deaton to start trusting her more. She wants to show him that she's not a threat.
"It's not gonna hurt him, is it?" A dog's owner asked as Deaton was holding a syringe.
"Just a little" Deaton replied. "But I usually find that it's the owners" the man winced as Deaton injected the dog. "Who feel the most pain". He paused "alright. Well, we'll just check the stool sample for parasites, but my guess is that he probably just ate something he shouldn't have"
Scott put the dog on the floor and stroked him gently. Astrid looked a him with a small smile on her face.
"Got a cool name" Scott said when he read 'bullet' on the dog's collar.
"He's got two brothers at home named Beretta and Trigger. Military family" the man with brown hair said.
The dog laid on the ground as Scott rubbed his belly.
"Looks like he knows who the Alpha is." The owner said.
Scott looked at him shocked. Astrid and Deaton looked at each other and then both looked at Scott.
Scott chucked and nodded.
The man left with his dog as he thanked Scott and Deaton.
"Found something" Scott said as he picked something up with tweezers.
"Rinse it off" deaton said as he gave Scott a bottle and Scott did as he told him.
"What is it?" Scott asked.
Deaton took the tweezers and put them under a lamp. Astrid walked towards him to see what it was.
"Definitely poisonous for the dog." Deaton said "actually, for you as well."
"Wolfsbane?" Scott asked.
"Mistletoe" Astrid corrected him and smiled slightly when he looked at her.
Deaton went to a different room and Astrid followed him.
"Deaton... I know you don't trust me but-"
"I know your kind. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't go thought all this trouble if you were going to kill them. I think you like them. Maybe you even feel something towards a certain omega." Deaton paused "I saw the way you look at him".
Astrid chuckled "we don't love... it makes us weak". Deaton looked at her, not believing that she doesn't feel anything towards Scott.
"So.. since I know that you don't want to hurt them, and I'm pretty sure you don't have any bad intentions as you only helped them ever since you got here..." He paused and looked her in the eyes "I trust you. Maybe not as much as Scott but I do." He said and went back to Scott who was now standing with a dog. He explained that the owner disappeared.
-----
Astrid stood in her running clothes with other students. She was about to run cross country. She stood next to Scott and she saw the werewolf twins walk towards Isaac.
Coach blew the whistle and Isaac stood up. The two ran towards him as Scott grabbed his shoulder.
"Isaac"
"Its them" Isaac said as he ran after them.
"Isaac, wait!" Scott shouted as he and Astrid ran after him.
"Bloody Idiot!" Astrid shouted as they ran after them.
Scott and Astrid found the twins holding Isaac's arms.

"Ethan, I always forget. How many bones are in the human body?" One twin asked.
"I don't know. Let's count" Ethan said.
Scott ran towards Ethan and punched him in the face. "That's one"
Ethan fixed his jaw and stood up. The twins' eyes glowed red. Whereas Isaac's and Scott's glowed yellow.
They all heard a girl scream and ran to where the rest of the students were.
They saw the owner of the dog, dead.
Astrid fake gagged as she stood between Scott and Stiles.
"Its him, isn't it?" Stiles asked.
"The dog's owner" Astrid said as she turned around. She haven't fed for a couple of days and she could smell the blood. She felt her eyes change as she grabbed her head so no one would see it.
Scott walked towards her "Are you okay?" He grabbed her shoulders. She felt Stiles staring at them.
"Yeah it's just... The blood" she said, trying to get her face to change back.
"Just don't look at the body, okay?" He said as he hugged her, his chin resting on her head. She listened to his heart beat and felt her eyes turn back to their beautiful dark blue-green colour.
She hugged him back, tight. She felt Scott chuckle and he pulled away from the hug.
"Thank you" she said and Scott nodded with a huge smile.
"Hey, get out of the way. Get back. Get this area cordoned off before they trample every piece of evidence." They heard the sheriff say as he ran towards the crime scene.
"Back up! Everyone back!" An officer shouted.
"Get these kids out of here!" Sheriff shouted as Stiles walked towards him.
"Dad, just come here. Look, look. Look at it" Stiles said, pointing at the dead body. "Its the same as the others, you see?"
"Yeah, I see that. Do me a favour, go back back to school, yeah?" Sheriff turned around, looking at coach "coach, can you give us a hand here?"
"You heard the man. Nothing to see here." Coach shouted. Probably just some homeless kid."
Astrid shook her head and rolled her eyes. She heard Scott speaking "coach."
"Yeah?"
"He was a senior."
Coach sighed "he wasn't on the team, was He?" Astrid gave him a 'really?' Look.
A girl ran towards the body, screaming. "Kyle! Oh, god, Kyle!" An officer tried pulling her away from the crime scene.
Scott, Stiles , Isaac and Astrid began walking away. "Did you see the way the twins looked at him?" Isaac asked.
"You mean like they had no idea what happened?" Stiles said.
"No, no, they knew" Isaac said.
"The kid was strangled with a garrote, all right? Am I the only one recognising the lack of werewolfitude in these murders?" Stiles said.
"You think it's a coincidence they turn up, and people start dying?" Isaac asked.
"Well, no, but I still don't think it's them."
"Scott? How about you?" Isaac asked.
"I don't know yet" Scott replied.
"You don't know yet?" Stiles raised his eyebrows.
"Guys, give it a rest" Astrid sighed.
"Well, he's got a point" Scott pointed at Isaac. "Seriously, dude, human sacrifices?"
"Scott, your eyes turn into yellow glow sticks, okay? Hair literally grows from your cheeks, and then will immediately disappear, and if I were to stab you right now, it would just magically heal, but you're telling me you're having trouble grasping human sacrifices?" Stiles said.

Scott sighed and turned to Isaac "that's a good point, too"
"I don't care, alright?" Isaac said "they killed that guy. They killed the girl that saved me. And I'm gonna kill them, too"
"Well, good luck with your suicide mission, love" Astrid sighed as she walked away, heading back to school.
-------
They all went back to school and were now sitting in their chemistry class. Astrid sat next to Scott and Isaac in front of them.
"They're here for a reason" Scott told Isaac. "Give me a chance to figure it out before you do anything. Okay? Isaac."
Isaac didn't reply.
"Danny, what do we know about momentum?" The teacher asked.
"Its the product of mass and velocity. The more massive something is, the faster it's going." Danny answered.
"Mr Harris can I use the bathroom, please?" Isaac asked. Mr. Harris nodded and Isaac rushed out of the classroom.
Scott stood up "I have to go to the bathroom, too"
"One at a time" Mr. Harris said.
"But I really have to go. Like, medical emergency have to go"
"Mr. McCall, if your bladder suddenly exploded, and urine began to pour from every orifice, I would still respond, "One at a time""
" I just imagined that" Astrid said with a disgusted expression.
"Is that enough hyperbole for you, or would you like me to come up with something more vivid?"
"No. No. that's pretty good." Scott said as he sat back down.
Class was quiet and suddenly everyone heard a bang outside. Mr. Harris rushed out of the classroom. Everyone else ran outside and saw one of the twins laying on the ground with blood on his face as Isaac stood next to him.
"What is this?" Mr. Harris asked. "What's going on?"
"You alright?" Danny asked as he ran towards Ethan.
"He just came at me" Ethan pointed at Isaac.
"Isaac, what the hell did you do?" Mr.Harris asked. Scott clenched his jaw and he looked at Isaac and Ethan.
The bell soon rang. Scott and Astrid followed Isaac.
"Don't let it bother you." Scott told Isaac as they walked through the school corridors. "Its just lunchtime detention. If all they want is to piss you off, then don't give in. They're just trying to get to you" they stopped at Isaac's locker.
"It's not just me" Isaac said, looking at Lydia and Aiden.
Lydia patted Aiden's chest and walked away. Aiden smiled at the three and began walking the other way.
"What?" Scott asked Isaac as he felt him staring.
Isaac smiled "now they're getting to you." He chuckled and walked away from Scott and Astrid.
Astrid put a hand on Scott's shoulder comfortingly. He looked at her and smiled.
--------
Scott and Astrid walked around school in comfortable silence until they heard growling and Allison screaming. They ran and saw a door barricaded with a soda machine. Scott moved it and threw Isaac on the ground, he was fully turned.
"Isaac!" Scott shouted and Isaac calmed down. Allison came out, holding her arm.
Astrid walked towards her as Scott stood up and Isaac moved towards the wall behind him.
Astrid looked at Allison's arm which had a few scratches on it. "I'm okay. Im fine." Allison said.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that" Isaac apologised.
"I'm okay."
"Im so sorry"
"Its not his fault" Allison said, looking at Scott.
"I know" Scott said. " I guess now we know they want to do more than get you angry. They want to get someone hurt."
"So are we gonna do something?" Isaac asked.
"Yeah. Im gonna get them angry, really angry" Scott said with an angry expression as he looked at Isaac.
-------
Everyone was walking into the English class. Astrid sat behind Stiles, Aiden and Ethan nect to her right and Scott right next to them.
Scott looked at them and started taking out motorbike parts from his bag and putting them on his desk.
"Looks kind of important" Scott said.
"I have no idea what this thing does." He admitted as he put a part of the machine on his desk.
They heard the motorcycle revving outside. Aiden ran outside as Ethan shouted. "Wait. Aiden, Don't!"
Astrid smiled as she heard the motorcycle in the hallway.
Everyone walked outside and saw Aiden holding his motorbike as Isaac now stood next to Scott, smiling.
"You have got to be kidding me" Ms. Blake said as she walked towards Aiden. "You realise this is gonna result in a suspension."
Everyone laughed quietly as Aiden looked annoyed and angry. Scott wiggled his eyebrows at him as his friends smiled.
-----
Isaac, Scott and Astrid were walking down the empty school hallway.
"Yeah, I wish I could have seen their faces" Isaac said, smiling widely. "Did they look seriously pissed?"
"Yeah" Scott answered.
They three stopped as the twins stood in front of them, furious.
"Kind of like that" Scott said.
They started taking off their shirts.
"Umm... I didn't know this was a strip club" Astrid laughed.
Ethan crouched down as Aiden put his hand on his back and they merged together, forming one big werewolf.
"We can take them" Isaac said, pulling up his sleeves.
"Are you kidding? Isaac!" Scott shouted and they both started running away. Astrid stood there dumbfounded and started running only when the Alpha ran after them.
He caught Scott and Isaac, holding them by their necks as he held them above the ground. He smashed their heads together and threw them on the ground.
Astrid's werewolf face showed as she stood behind Scott and Isaac. She was about to attack but she heard a clicking noise behind her. There was a man with a cane and sunglasses on his face. Astrid's face went back to normal as she looked at the man, knowing who it is.
The alpha immediately calmed down and the twins separated. The blind man took the bottom of his cane off, revealing a small blade. He cut both of their cheeks. He covered the blade and put the cane down.
The twins followed the man as he walked away.
"Who the hell is that?" Isaac asked.
"Deucalion" she answered.
She helped them get up from the floor.
"You met him before?" Isaac asked.
"No but I've heard of him. A leader of the Alpha pack" she said. She turned to Scott and smiled at him. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." He answered.
"Well... that's enough for today. If you don't mind, I'll head home" she said as she walked away.
"Bloody werewolves" she muttered.
