Chương 34: Who Is Lucas?

In another part of town, Stiles was frantically looking for Scott.

"Scott buddy, where are you?" Stiles muttered as he looked left and right around the road. He kept tapping the steering wheel while trying to think where Scott may be. After driving for some time, Stiles saw someone walking barefoot and without a shirt. He instantly stopped the car. Stiles realized it was Scott.

"Scott, get in." Stiles urged him quickly. Scott raised his head, surprised by his appearance, then swiftly got in the car. After a few moments of silence, Stiles finally couldn't hold on anymore.

"So what happened?" He raised an eyebrow as he asked. Scott frowned as he recalled all the crazy things he experienced.

"I was in my room when suddenly I couldn't control myself and blacked out for some time." He took a deep breath as he continued.

"The next thing I know is I got spotted by some people trying to kill me, and Derek saved me." Stiles frowned as he replied: "Why would they try to kill you?"

"Derek told me that they are hunters." He replied, still having lingering fears from his meeting with the hunters. One in particular stood out among them. Stiles remained silent for a few seconds. Werewolves, now hunters, things just kept getting better and better.

"Remember how Lucas warned you not to play the game for your own safety?" Stiles asked, connecting some dots. Scott's eyes enlarged for a second, then he quickly responded: "Do you think he knows about the hunters?" Stiles nodded as he recalled their conversation.

"He was oddly specific about some things, but the biggest question is why he knows this stuff." You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story. Scott looked at Stiles, then asked: "Do you think he is somehow connected with all this?" Stiles nodded as he shared his guess.

"He's definitely not normal. Don't you realize something, Scott?"

"What?" Scott looked confused at him, not knowing what he meant. Stiles took a deep breath as he voiced all his thoughts.

"First of all, even though he told us he got the information from the internet, he was clearly not really shocked by the fact that you're a werewolf. He constantly warned you and gave you tips on how to manage the werewolf part as if he had experience." Scott tilted his head as he thought of the conversation with Lucas.

"You're right, but are you trying to say that he's like me or that he is a hunter?" Stiles thought for a second and replied: "Not sure, but strangely he appeared in this town at the same time strange things started happening. But the sure thing is that he knows more than he told us." Scott tried to think what Lucas' deal could be in all this, then shook his head helplessly, not having any clue. While the two were discussing their suspicions about Lucas, Allison, on the other hand, arrived at school.

She embraced her book as she walked in a daze through the hallway.

'Is he okay?' She thought of the injured Lucas, still not able to shake off the worry. Then Allison thought of something else.

'Who injured him like this? And why didn't he want to go to the hospital?' Allison's head was filled with questions about what happened to Lucas before realizing she was already by her locker. While she was in a daze thinking of Lucas, someone was approaching her.

"Allison." It was a girl. She walked confidently to Allison's side as if the hallway was her stage. She then raised her head slightly as she continued speaking to Allison.

"Did you decline coming to my party because you went somewhere else?" She raised her voice slightly as if offended, still looking at the tired Allison, who looked like she hadn't slept all night. Allison broke from her thoughts. Seeing who was speaking, she helplessly replied.

"Lydia."

"I just didn't sleep well last night, I swear." Lydia gave Allison a doubtful look, then raised her chin and replied: "Whatever, I wanted to introduce you to some guys from the team, but you didn't show up." Allison rolled her eyes a little.

"I told you I'm not interested." Lydia looked at her, confused. This was the second time Allison had refused her offer.

"Why not? It's not like you're dating someone." Allison immediately thought of someone, then replied with a firmer tone this time.

"I have someone I like." Lydia immediately became interested, as if having a new topic to gossip about. She grabbed Allison's arm while following her to class.

"Who is it?" Knowing she couldn't stop her curiosity, Allison responded: "You don't know him, he's new in town like me." Lydia put her finger on her lips as she tried to think if she knew about him.

"New guy… new guy…" Then her eyes lit up.

"I think I heard something about him, there were some girls talking about someone new." A frown appeared on Allison's face as she tightened the book in her hand harder without realizing.

"What girls?" Lydia raised an eyebrow. Looking at the worked-up Allison, she continued speaking teasingly.

"Of course, girls that want to pursue him." As she said that, Lydia looked at her, watching her anxious expression. Allison looked at the smiling Lydia, realizing that she was playing with her. Then she shook her hand off and went inside the classroom, deciding to ignore Lydia. Lydia quickly followed her while still asking questions from time to time.
