Chapter 6. Finally Connected

"Why do you need us at the hospital?" I asked my mom in confusion as I climbed into the front passenger seat of Stiles' jeep, she literally had just called and told me that she needs to Stiles and myself to get to the hospital as soon as we possibly can.

She sighed on the other end, "Something's up-- Kasey can you two just get here? Please?"

"Yeah, yeah. Give us like ten minutes, okay?"

My mom then ended the call and I rubbed at my tired eyes as Stiles backed out of his driveway, I have no idea what we need to see at the hospital but I do know that it's going to cause some sort of ripple affect in whatever is going on with this pack of alphas and the body that Lydia found. These things are always connected somehow, in some way.

"Did she say what it was or...?" Stiles inquired as he glanced sideways at me.

I let out a sigh as I shoved my phone in my pocket, "No. She just said that something was up. I am willing to bet money it's something about that body Lydia found at the pool though."

He nodded, "Yeah, me too."

"I already have a headache, isn't that funny? It's literally been one freaking day and I am so done with whatever it is that is happening this time." I chuckled sarcastically as I let out a huff of irritation. I should have known that this summer was too good to be true. I'm such an idiot for thinking that we were finally going to all be okay.

Stiles reached over and rested his hand on my thigh, giving it a reassuring squeeze as he turned on to the freeway, "We'll be okay, Kase. We always are."

I'm not going to tell him about the gut wrenching feeling that I have that he is so wrong. I can't, because if I bring attention to it-- that can only make it more likely to be true, right? I'm not a psychic, so I don't know why I feel like this feeling is right. I just-- I don't know how I know this, but I just know that something really bad is going to happen. And I feel like I'm suffocating because I can't do anything to stop it, because I have no idea what it even is.

For some stupid reason I want to start crying, as if that will change anything. I want to run as far away from Beacon Hills as I can get. Something is coming. Something that we are all so not prepared for, and it makes me sick to my stomach just thinking about it. We may have beat the alpha, and we may have stopped Jackon and Gerard, but this time-- I just know that it's not going to be that easy.

Stiles arrived at the hospital a lot sooner than I had thought he would, so when he parked the jeep and climbed out-- I had to take a moment to gather my thoughts before following after him. He grabbed my hand the second that his body was in the same vicinity as mine, and we walked into the waiting room of the hospital of the ER entrance. My mom was standing by the desk, flipping through some papers-- obviously waiting on us.

"Hey mom," I greeted.

She turned to face me and half-smiled, "Hi. Over here, and if you tell anyone that I showed you two this-- I swear to God I will kill you painfully and slowly." She whispered as she grabbed on to my upper-arm and tugged me down the hall, Stiles in tow.

"Why do you want to show us a body that we've already seen?" I asked in confusion.

She gave me an annoyed look, "Because you haven't seen everything."

My eyes widened when she pushed open the morgue door and led us inside, I could feel my stomach tightening up in anticipation of seeing the body again. My mom released my arm and walked over to the slab that I assumed the body was on, there was a teal colored sheet over top of it-- oh nope that's him, she just ripped it off like it was nothing. She then put on a pair of latex gloved and started pointing to something on his neck.

"You see this line here? That's a ligature mark, that means he was strangled with something like cord or rope." My mom stated as she glanced at my boyfriend and I.

Stiles rose an eyebrow in confusion, "Alright... what kind of werewolf strangles somebody? I mean that's not very... werewolfy."

"My thoughts exactly," My mom nodded as she turned the guys head slightly, "and then there's this."

When I saw the hole on the side of his head I quickly turned my head away from him, "Oh I can't be in here."

"What is that? Is that brain matter? Of course it's brain matter," Stiles breathed out as he turned his head away in disgust.

My mom sighed, "Do you see the indentation? He was hit hard enough in the back of the head to kill him. I mean any of these things could have killed him, someone seriously wanted this poor kid dead."

"Okay so that means it couldn't have been Boyd or Cora.." I stated as I kept my gaze adverted from the gaping hole on the side of this guys head. The last thing the hospital staff needs is to have to mop up my vomit off the floor.

Stiles nodded, "Yeah they wouldn't have done all that. So maybe it was a murder, like just a coincidence you know?"

"I don't think it's just one," My mom added quickly.

I rose an eyebrow, "Why not?"

She nodded her head in the direction of the slab behind us, "Because that girl over there has the same injuries."

✠

My mom was talking about something called a garrote and how they strangled the girl, but after she pulled the sheet up my eyes widened-- it was Heather. She was laying here in front of me lifeless, her throat had a slash on it and there was the same ligature mark as the guy before. I could feel the bile in the back of my throat rising as I turned to face Stiles.

The way he looked right now, absolutely broke my heart and I wish that I never had to see him this upset ever again in my entire life. His eyes were wide and glassy as he just stared at her pale body. His grip on my hand was gone as he just looked at her, no doubt feeling absolutely guilty for having this happen to her.

"Stiles? Is something wrong? Oh my God, did you know her?" My mom asked in a panic.

My boyfriend nodded slowly as my mom jerked the sheet back up to cover Heather's body, "I'm so sorry, I didn't even think..."

"I was at her party... it was her birthday... her name was Heather," He mumbled as he wiped at his eyes with the sleeve of his jacket.

And that's when it happened, I had linked myself to Stiles-- I could hear Heather's voice ringing in the back of my head, "You know what I want for my birthday? To not be a seventeen year old virgin." Images of the body at the pool flashed into my mind, but it was just his hand with a silver ring that had Purity printed on it. I could feel him finally solving this mystery, I could feel him wanting to help Heather, I could feel him finally feeling some self-worth in himself.

"Stiles? Kasey? Are you two okay?" My mom asked as she snapped her fingers to get our attention.

My boyfriend glanced at my mom in a panic, "Has anyone else been through here tonight? Any other bodies?"

"No, no bodies. But there were two girls, they brought one of them-- Kaitlyn, in for a tox screen. And then I overheard that her girlfriend Emily just disappeared, they were out in the woods and nobody--"

My eyes widened, "Nobody's found her yet?"

"I don't know, I don't think so." My mom replied in confusion.

I nodded quickly, "Okay the first girl, Kaitlyn, is she still here? Mom this is really important."

"I think so..." She answered me.

Stiles and I both went to walk around her to go and find Kaitlyn, but my mom grabbed on to my arm and stopped us both, "Why do you need to talk to her?"

"I think I know what's going on," Stiles replied quickly.

"And by him knowing, I know, it's an ordeal mom, but please we have to go and find her-- like now." I added quickly.

My mom sighed and turned on her heel as she briskly made her way out of the morgue and into the hallway, Stiles and I following her quickly. As we walked down the hall he turned to face me in confusion, "How did you know... Unless you... it finally happened?" He asked in astonishment.

I nodded, "It finally happened."

"So you know exactly what I was thinking then?" He inquired as we turned the hall after my mother.

I nodded again, "Yes. I also know that Heather was trying to have sex with you on her birthday. I heard the conversation. I saw the purity ring on the guys finger. I felt what you were feeling."

"Kasey--"

"We don't have time to talk about it right now, okay? We can talk about that later." I cut him off as my mom opened up a door for us and motioned for the two of us to get in before another doctor or nurse showed up.

✠

"We weren't even doing anything that bad... we've camped out there before plenty of times," Kaitlyn said with a sigh as she picked at her fingernails.

Stiles had his arms crossed over his chest as he glanced at the broken girl before us, "Yeah but why tonight?"

"We wanted to be alone for just one night. Emily lives with her mom and I have three room-mates, it's not exactly the most romantic setting... so..." She replied with a sigh.

I smiled faintly at her, "How long had you two been together?"

"Three months... how long have you two been together?" She asked as she looked between Stiles and myself.

Stiles looked surprised at the fact she had picked up on us being together, "How did you know?"

She chuckled as she wiped at her eyes, "The way you two look at each other makes it pretty obvious."

The smile on my face only grew in size, "We've been together for about nine months," I answered her previous question about mine ad Stiles relationship. It feels like we've been together longer than nine months. Time certainly does fly when you have supernatural beings invading your free time.

"And you wanted it to be romantic because it was your first time..." Stiles stated quietly as he finally put it together as why Kaitlyn and Emily had been in the woods, I could feel Stiles' eyes and my moms eyes on me as well... Why are they looking at me?

Kaitlyn nodded, "Yeah... they're gonna find her, right? Aren't they?"

"They're gonna try their hardest." I replied quietly, adverting my gaze. Emily was already dead, there's no doubt about that in my mind. I can't tell Kaitlyn that, hell-- I can't even hint at that to her, she is already stressed out and scared enough as it is.

✠

Scott had shown up at the hospital after Stiles had called him, we filled him in on what was going on. The deaths weren't just murders, there had been a pattern. Heather, Emily, and the guy Lydia found at the pool-- they were all virgins. And the way they were killed was the three-fold death, which led Stiles to the conclusion that they were sacrifices. Human sacrifices.

After we explained all of that to Scott, Stiles took me back to my house. I was exhausted both mentally and physically, and some sleep sounded pretty heavenly right about now. Scott had to go and meet up with Isaac about Cora and Boyd, and my mom was still at the hospital-- leaving me to be alone, and Stiles wasn't too keen on that idea so he offered to stay until someone got home.

So when I walked out of my bathroom in my pajama's, I didn't think that I would find him passed out on my bed. He looked so cute, and I didn't want to wake him-- but I couldn't sleep with him spread across my bed the way he is. I crept over to the bed and crawled on top, gently tugging on his arm to wake him.

His eyes slowly opened and when he saw that it was just me waking him, he smiled sleepily and gestured to the pillow beside him, "Sleep with me."

"I would love to... but I can't because you are taking up most of the bed." I chuckled as I pushed some of his hair out off of his forehead, it wasn't all styled up anymore, due to him rubbing his head againt the pillow.

He awkwardly moved his body to where I had just enough space to get under the covers beside him, and by the time that I was tucked in and comfortable his arms latched themselves around me and he pulled me against him tightly. I could feel his entire body relax as he nestled his face against my shoulder.

"I love you," He mumbled, his voice muffled from the fabric of my shirt.

I smiled to myself, "I love you too."

No Stasexy time, just some cute cuddling. Haha, this episode was the worst to write-- Stiles was hardly in it, and well, if you haven't noticed by now I try to have Kasey and Stiles together pretty much at all times, but that is going to start changing because it will be easier to write if I split them up at points. I hope you all aren't too disappointed in the chapter!
