Chương 47: Bullet

Allison's fingers tightened around her bag harder, then she took a deep breath and looked at Lucas with determination in her eyes.

"I want to know the truth!" Lucas then took her hand.

"Let's go to your house, we need to find that bullet." Allison nodded as she followed him to the car. It didn't take long for them to reach her house. Before Allison could enter the house, Lucas pulled her hand.

"Don't reveal to your parents that you know the truth." Allison stared into his eyes for a few seconds, then nodded. She didn't really have that intention; she worried that it would bring more trouble to Lucas. Then they entered the house. As soon as Lucas entered, he heard an irritating voice from the stairs.

"Why are you here at this hour?" It was Chris. He looked down from the stairs with his arms crossed, staring at Lucas.

"Dad! I invited him!" Allison intervened, her tone harsher than usual. Thinking that her dad could possibly be someone who hurts innocent people made her mind a total mess.

"It's a pleasure to see you too, sir!" Lucas smiled at Chris, ignoring his cold gaze. This, in turn, made Chris even more irritated. Every time he saw Lucas' face brimming with joy, his nerves flared up.

"Where's my favorite niece?" Suddenly, a voice traveled from the other room, then a woman walked in. A tall blonde woman, she appeared to be in her late 20s. When she saw Allison, her face lit up. Then she quickly approached Allison, giving her a hug. Allison's body stiffened slightly, then she hugged Kate back. She didn't know what to think or do anymore.

"Are you alright?" Kate's gaze settled on her as she asked with some concern, feeling Allison was a bit tense. Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"Yeah, just tired from school." She averted her gaze for a second, then gave Kate a slight smile. Kate's gaze shifted toward Lucas.

"And who might this be?"

"An uninvited guest." Chris couldn't help but remark.

"Don't listen to him, Lucas is my boyfriend." Allison rolled her eyes at her father, then explained to Kate.

"Interesting." Kate's eyes scanned Lucas up and down. Lucas looked thoughtfully at Kate. He didn't even bother faking a smile. She was merely a pawn, but that didn't excuse her crimes. His gaze only made Kate feel weird for a second before she turned her attention back to Allison.

"I have to do some homework with Lucas." Saying that, she quickly grabbed him and went upstairs. Allison stopped as Chris was standing in the way. He looked at both of them for a few moments before moving away. As Lucas entered her room, Allison closed the door behind her. She leaned her back against the door, releasing a sigh of relief.

"I didn't know how much longer I could look into their eyes."

"It's okay, you'll get used to it." Hearing this, her gaze sharpened, fixing her eyes on him. She then asked:"So you often lie?"

"Yes." Lucas replied quickly. Allison was stunned by his answer. She was expecting something else. Before she could say anything, he continued.

"But maybe that was a lie." He smiled in amusement while looking at her. Allison could only helplessly smile at his antics, her tension slightly easing with their conversation. While speaking with Allison, his sense of hearing heightened. Hearing that no one was on the second floor, he started walking toward the door.

"We need to go through your aunt's stuff, now that she's downstairs." Allison nodded, then opened the door and gestured for him to follow. The two entered Kate's room. On the bed, there was a conspicuous black bag. They looked at each other, then quickly opened the bag. Inside, there was a black case and some other items. Lucas quickly went through all of them before finding a wooden box. When he opened it, it was filled with high-caliber bullets. He specifically picked one and looked at it for a moment.

"This is it." He said to Allison, then she grabbed his hand, wanting to leave, fearing they might get caught. Before she could walk away, Lucas stopped her and gestured toward the bag. She turned her head in confusion, then followed his gaze. The bag was still open.

"Next time, remember to pay attention to details."

"Next time?" Allison chuckled while looking at him.

"Yeah, you've got talent." Lucas remarked with a smile, then closed the bag. Soon they were at the doorway. Allison looked at him with a bit of worry.

"Be careful!"

"Don't worry." He touched her face, then leaned slightly and kissed her on the lips. They kissed for a few seconds before stopping. If they continued, maybe in the future there would be a one-armed Derek and a traumatized Stiles. Lucas then swiftly made his way toward his car. As he was driving, he called Scott.

"Scott, it's me, I got the bullet. Where are you?"

"Lucas, great! We are at the animal clinic, you need to hurry, Derek doesn't have much time." Scott's voice was heard from the other side, clearly happy to hear his call.

"I'll be there soon." Then Lucas ended the call. After driving for five minutes, he arrived. Lucas entered the clinic. Suddenly, he stopped as he looked at the little door leading inside. He noticed that it was open. He briefly traced his finger along it, then entered. As he approached, voices were coming from the room in front of him. The thing Lucas was most curious about was how his ability would react to Derek. Would it be unresponsive like it was with Scott? And what would happen if he hunted such creatures?
