Pathei MathosHomeroom was as uneventful as ever for Cyrus. Stiles tried to talk to him about what happened, but their teacher shut down any talking immediately. They even made sure to specify not to talk about or come up with crazy theories about the body in the woods. Apparently they even already had a suspect in custody. He didn't know why his mom didn't tell him that. Or did she? She said Derek came down to the station. No. He wouldn't kill his own sister, would he?
Ronnie noticed how deep in thought Cyrus was and gave him a gentle nudge. When he looked at her she mouthed, "Are you okay?", with a clear look of concern on her face.
Cyrus nodded back at her, but she could tell that he wasn't. Cyrus saw her pull out her phone to text him. He pulled his out to wait for the message. He clicked on the notification as soon as it appeared and entered their message thread. "We're skipping for lunch today. In-N-Out on me on the way to see my uncle. Everything's going to be okay. I love you, Cy.
" He smiled at this and hearted the message before sending his reply.
Ronnie looked as his message came through. "Thanks, babe. I love you too, Ronnie."
When class was over Cyrus, Stiles, and Ronnie gathered by their lockers and were surprised to see that Scott wasn't there. Maybe he was caught up in his homeroom. Ronnie didn't seem as concerned, forgetting the supernatural changes in their lives she noticed a new girl in school already being hounded by Lydia and Jackson. "How is it that the new girl's been here for five minutes and she's already being pounced on by Lydia?"
"Because she's hot. Beautiful people herd together." Stiles answered.
Cyrus wrapped his arm around Ronnie's shoulder. "Then Ronnie and I should be over there." Ronnie laughed and covered her mouth to hold it in.
"Not funny." Stiles said with a straight face.
"I'm kidding, you're hot too. Ronnie always said the only person she'd worry about me leaving her for is you."
Ronnie took her hands down and stopped laughing. She nodded and said, "It's true. You two are tighter than we are and you could give Abercrombie."
Stiles needed that boost to his self-esteem. He couldn't stop grinning and triumphantly walked down the hall.
"Where are you going?" Cyrus called out.
"To apply for Abercrombie!" Was all Stiles yelled before disappearing into the wave of students.
Ronnie looked up at Cyrus with a laugh. "That's your best friend. Anyway, see if you can hear what Lydia and Jackson are talking to her about."
Cyrus was about to ask how he was supposed to hear them from all the way over there in this crowded hall of students, but then he remembered that werewolves had super senses and that included their hearing. He exhaled and began to focus his attention on Lydia and Jackson. For as long as he had known them he remembered their voices. He could pick them out of a crowd if they were loud enough and with his new ears they would be. "They're inviting her to the party this Friday. She just turned them down for family night. An obvious lie even if I couldn't hear it in her heart."
Ronnie's eyes widened at this. He was already getting to the point where he could focus on heartbeats and tell the difference in them when someone lies? That wasn't an easy thing for most werewolves to get a hang of until they were used to their powers. There were talented exceptions however and she wasn't surprised by Cyrus' talent. But she was worried about what this might mean for him down the line. "You could detect that? Keep going. What else?"
"Now they're talking about lacrosse and bragging about how he brought us three state champions as captain. They're inviting her to practice after school." Cyrus finished.
"Great. Test 1 Complete. You passed the hearing test with flying colors."
Cyrus just now realized he was being tested. "So what do I win?"
"This." Ronnie said, turning her head and leaning up to kiss him on the lips.
Cyrus kissed her back and pulled away. "I can't wait to pass the others."
Cyrus and Ronnie made it to the Beacon Hills Animal Clinic with time to spare. They ate their food on the way, deciding it best not to eat food around sick or wounded furry animals. They opened the door to the waiting area and saw Uncle Deaton at the receptionist desk.
He heard the chime from his door as they entered and looked up. "Veronica? Cyrus? What are you two doing here in the middle of the school day?"
"Uncle Alan, we need your help. Cyrus and Scott were bit by an Alpha last night. The process is already starting." Ronnie answered. She knew they didn't have time to beat around the bush.
"Lock the door and turn the sign. Cyrus, follow me to the examination room." The two did as Alan said and Ronnie followed them into the examination room once she was done with the door.
Cyrus sat on the examination table and waited for his next instructions. "So Doc, I'm not going to turn into a raging psychopathic killer who bites random teenagers in the woods, will I?"
Alan laughed. "No. Well, not normally. You can lose yourself the night of a full moon. It's honestly to be expected with you being so young and newly transformed. But outside of that you'll still be you. If you weren't a psychopath before the bite won't turn you into one. But there is a possibility of the Alpha that bit you controlling you and forcing you to do something you wouldn't. Have you felt any heightened sense of aggression or being hornier than usual?"
Cyrus didn't know how to answer the last question. He was still taking in the possibility of someone forcing him to do something he wouldn't want to do. He knew there had to be some kind of drawbacks. "No. I mean, the fact that Ronnie and I are here instead of my truck shows I have some self-control."
Ronnie blushed at this and said, "I... I'm going to wait out front." She turned and exited the examination room, cheeks still flushed with red.
Alan continued on as if nothing had happened. "Interesting. In all my experience you'd typically be showing more signs of the wolf having more control over you, but you might have more control over the wolf. Hmm."
"Hmm?" Cyrus asked.
"Nothing. Not yet, at least. I want to keep an eye on both you and Scott and while I know you have control over yourself for now I need you to watch over Scott as well. A full moon's coming this Friday. Stop him if he loses himself and don't tell him about me yet. I want to tell him myself when he trusts me with this new change in his life."
"Thank you, Dr. Deaton and I'll keep an eye on Scott. We better get out of here before we're late."
"Call me, Alan, and please be careful with my niece."
Cyrus nodded before getting off the examination table and stopped just before leaving the office. He turned around to face Alan. "I almost forgot. Derek's back in town and that was his sister. You don't think..."
Alan shook his head. "Derek Hale has been through a lot, but he's not a killer, certainly not of his sister. He may need you and Scott's help to face whatever's lurking out there."
Cyrus nodded and walked out of the office.
