Chương 8: The Spark 2

As Lucas walked away with the injured dog in his arms, he turned around just once more toward the car, there, he caught a glimpse of Allison's back as she was changing. His heartbeat started rising as he quickly looked away, and sped up his pace toward the clinic door.

"Is someone here?" Lucas said with an urgent tone. Suddenly, Scott came from the back hearing someone calling.

"Lucas?"

"What are you doing here?" asked Scott as he realized it was Lucas, then he set his sight on the dog.

"We hit the dog while driving. It needs treatment." Then Scott took the dog from Lucas's hands, and put it on a table as he swiftly took the medical bag and started treating the dog.

"You are pretty good at this." remarked Lucas as he was watching Scott bandaging the dog.

"I've got some experience""And done… he should be fine now." replied Scott as he finished treating the dog.

"Well thanks, I know someone who'd be pretty upset if the dog were to die." Lucas remarked with an amused expression on his face, thinking of Allison's crying face. Scott looked at him with a confused face wanting to ask what he meant, before he could ask Lucas asked him another question that seemed to make Scott's expression uncomfortable.

"You felt it, didn't you?"

"Today on the field when you got carried away by the attention."

"When you got angry… it got worse."

"You know what's happening to me?" Scott approached Lucas closer as he looked at him with hope in his eyes.

"I told you this morning at school, did you already forget?" He replied with a calm voice, as he watched Scott being in denial of everything that happened to him, despite knowing it's not normal to suddenly be stronger, and that his hearing had drastically improved. The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

"You mean being a werewolf?" Scott looked at him, as anger started to appear on his face.

"Maybe Stiles was right, you are crazy!" Scott calmed down as he was still looking at Lucas with an annoyed expression on his face. Looking at Scott's face he shrugged.

"Believe what you want, just remember, maybe pain can help you sometimes." Lucas smiled as he walked away giving a cryptic advice. Looking at his back Scott was even more confused "…Pain?" He muttered under his breath, then shaking his head as he headed back to work.

"I'm done" Lucas opened the car door sitting down as he gave Allison a smile.

"Is the dog fine?" She asked with a hopeful face.

"Yeah don't worry, Scott was the one that treated him."

"Scott?" She asked again with a confused expression.

"He is the guy that was late our first day at school." He explained to her.

"Ahh.. right." Lucas looked at her with surprise, as he was thinking to himself that it seems Allison and Scott didn't interact much.

"Let's go, I will drive you home as the rain stopped, and I can go home on foot."

"But… it was me asking to give you a lift, now I'm making you do this instead." She replied with awkward expression, and wanting to say something.

"Okay, it's decided. Besides, I'm young, and I still want to live a couple more years." He looked at her with a teasing smile. Allison gave him an annoyed look before turning her head towards the window. He smiled as he watched her antics then he turned the car, and headed to her house.

"That's it." Allison pointed a finger at one particular house.

"You can drive straight into the driveway." He nodded as he entered the driveway and stopped the engine.

"We are here." Allison nodded as an awkward silence followed through.

"Um.. thanks for helping me, it wasn't typical of me to act like that." She whispered in embarrassment.

"Act like what?" Lucas studied her face as she was trying to find an answer. Then she replied.

"A girly girl."

"Girly girl? Ha ha ha." Lucas laughed in amusement as he looked at her. Looking at Lucas laughing she giggled too.

"I'm serious, I thought I was tougher." Allison said as she looked into his eyes.

"I don't know about that, but you were cute." He replied with a smile. Feeling his deep gaze on her face as he said this Allison blushed, and she quickly opened the door.

"Let's go or my parents will start to worry." She whispered trying to change the subject. Looking at her back he smiled, and he followed her out of the car. Then both of them stopped at the door.

"This is it," she said, her voice a little quieter than before.

"Yeah…" Lucas didn't move. Neither did she. For a moment, neither of them said anything. Just standing there. Closer than before. Allison looked at him, like she was about to say something… or do something. The porch light suddenly turned on.
