Teen Wolf: Frankenstein

Chapter 11: Scott's First Hunt Part 3

The kelpie, still standing on the lake, gave us a calm look, as if, in its eyes, we were nothing more than food. Around it, several water bubbles began to float and spin at high speed.

—Cover yourselves, guys! Kelpies can shoot compressed water strong enough to pierce through a person —shouted Stiles as he hid behind a thick tree. Allison and I followed his example.

—Stiles, you're a walking library. What's its weakness? —I asked.

—Well, you know, the usual: rowan ash, mistletoe, and some special types of metals, including obsidian —said Stiles.

—I have some obsidian arrows —said Allison.

—And I have an obsidian dagger —added Stiles.

—Alright, Stiles, now make a plan that gets us out of here alive.

—Alright. Scott, you'll be the tank, because, honestly, you can heal from almost all of its attacks. Allison, cover Scott and make sure the kelpie doesn't escape. I'll attack it from behind. Scott, lure it out of the lake —Stiles said quickly while moving between the trees.

—You guys do know I understand your language, right? —said the kelpie in a German accent.

—Shit —we all said in unison.

—Shit, shit, shit! The bestiary didn't say anything about them all being able to talk! —said Stiles, panicking.

—Not all of us. I can because I'm quite old —the kelpie replied.

—Well, if you can understand us, get out of there and fight —I said.

The kelpie just laughed—its laugh was basically a horse's neigh—and continued shooting compressed water.

—Damn it, Scott, do something! —said Allison.

—Damn it, I can't! I can't run on water, and I don't know what'll happen if I fall into that lake! —I responded.

—I just have to stay here and keep shooting. Sooner or later, you'll die from having nowhere to hide —said the kelpie.

—You know what, kelpie? You're a stupid old fool. Come on, get out of the lake so I can kick your ass. You know what? If you don't come out, you're a gay horse from the mountains (it's a Spanish meme, for those who don't know) —said Stiles.

At this, the kelpie got angrier than we could have imagined. That insult reminded it of what a group of werewolves used to yell at it in its youth. Blinded by rage, it ran out of the water, eyes locked on Stiles.

—Great, Stiles, you got it out of its safe zone —said Allison.

—SCOTT, HELP ME! HEEEEEEEEEEEELP! —screamed Stiles as he ran away from the kelpie, zigzagging to dodge its compressed water shots.

[POV Change: Frank]

I was still playing Mortal Kombat with Melissa, and honestly, her Scorpion had completely destroyed me. I didn't stand a chance—she was too good.

—Alright, you win, honey. From now on, your Scorpion is the thing that scares me the most —I said.

—Aww, I told you from the start. Nothing beats my Scorpion. I had plenty of practice against Scott when he was younger —she replied.

—By the way, honey, I have something important to tell you —I said while playing with her hair.

—Don't tell me you're a wizard or something —she joked.

—How did you know? —I said, raising my hand as flames in the shape of a heart flickered from my fingers—. I thought it was time to tell you. You know, we're getting married soon, and I don't want to keep secrets from you.

—You know I was joking, right? —she said, completely shocked—. This… this is too much for a Mortal Kombat night. This is something you say while drinking wine or vodka, not while gaming.

Hope you like it! Yes, these chapters are short, but that's because it was originally one long chapter that I split up to post one per day. Sorry if you don't like it!
