Hey,I'm Satan... I mean Carrie. So, first Teen Wolf story, and I guess I have some explaining to do. First of all the slight au, is because Isaac is in the first series, the rest is pretty much the same. I rated it M because in future chapters there might be some... "stuff". There is some swearing and it's most likely going to be an Isaac/OC pairing... at least at first *maniacal laughter* Enjoy
It was not long after ten when Stiles rang, interrupting her quiet night of reading with the news of a dead body. Well half a dead body. "My dad got a call, it's in the woods, are you in?" he said in his usual smarmy tone. "You realise if I get caught sneaking out again, I'll be the dead body found in the woods." She replied. Her name was Alexandria "Lex" Kendall. "I'm 5 minutes away, be ready" Stiles finished before abruptly hanging up the phone. Lex smiled to herself, grabbing her jacket with was strewn over the back of her chair.
Normally she would be focused on the fact that tomorrow was the first day back at school, and she needed a good night sleep. But she was intrigued by the thought of finding half a dead body. She reached under her bed, taking out her sleeping bag and stuffing it under the covers, so that nosy parents would not be suspicious at the sight of an empty bed. As quietly as possible she climbed out her window, stepping onto the roof. She shimmied down the drainpipe and landed with a small grunt onto her converse clad feet, just as the all too familiar jeep pulled up. "Go go go" she yelled in a hushed tone as soon as she got into the front seat, and Stiles swerved off into the darkness.
After a few moments of silence and Lex poking through the piles of discarded detention slips and overdue homework, she looked up
"STILES WATCH OUT!" she yelled, almost reaching for the wheel as dark figure ran across the road in front of the car. Stiles swerved dragging the car around in nearly a full circle. Lex leaned forward, with her hands on the dash, desperately trying to see if they had avoided whatever it was. A long moment of silence passed between the two of them, who were both a little shaken. Stiles grip on the steering wheel was so tight, his knuckles were white and his forearm muscles were flexed.
"Never, ever do that again" he breathed.
"Noted" Lex nodded, closing her eyes and breathing out deeply in an attempt to lower her heart rate. "Come on, better get moving. Did you phone Scott?" she said, trying to change the subject
"I tried." Stiles said
"Does he know we're coming?"
"That's a negative."
"Always thinking ahead aren't you, Ace."
"Of course"
Before long they pulled up out the front of Scott's house, Lex casually reminded Stiles about the late hour and how a normal person would be asleep, especially if said normal person had their first day back at school the next day.
"He'll be up. He's always up" he pointed out.
"Alright genius, how exactly are you going to get him out, without his mom seeing?"
"Watch and learn" Stiles said coolly, before gliding out of his jeep and towards Scott's house, climbing up the vines over hanging on the porch. Lex got out of the car and leaned on the hood, wanting a better view.
Within moments a dark figure emerged from the door and stood brandishing some kind of weapon. Stiles, with his usual and impeccable timing lost his balance and swung down in front of the figure, his foot caught in the vines on the roof. Scott screamed, which caused Stiles to scream, which caused Lex to laugh
"Stiles what the hell are you doing?" Scott shouted
"You weren't answering your phone, why do you have a bat?" Stiles replied his voice a pitch or two higher than usual.
"I thought you were a predator." Scott defended.
"A pre- look I know it's late, but you've gotta hear this. My dad left 20 minutes ago, dispatch called. They're bringing in every cop in the Beacon department, even state police." Stiles replied in a hushed but excited tone.
Lex started the walk up to them, not being noticed she leaned casually on one of the posts holding the roof up and waited for the perfect moment to make her presence known.
"What for?" Scott questioned.
"They found a body in the woods." Stiles said swinging down off the roof with undoubtable precision and landing on his feet. Lex silently ranked it 9 out of 10 as if she were some gymnastics judge.
"A dead body?"
"No a body of water... Yes dumbass a dead body."Lex said, Scott was of course blessed with two friends who were highly gifted in the art of sarcasm.
Scott jumped swinging the bat in her general direction, she stopped it just as it came to her face. "I should have known you'd be with him." He remarked.
"Pleasure to see you too McCall"
"Wait, but if they found the body what are they looking for?"
"Oh, but that's the best part" Lex began, setting the end up perfectly for Stiles, as they had learned to do. They had known each other since they were still in diapers.
"They only found Half the body." He finished.
"We're going" they said simultaneously looking at Scott with wide devious smiles.
They all piled into Stiles' jeep, Lex being forced into the back, where she immediately began laughing, recalling the screaming contest that had taken place earlier.
"You didn't give her something to drink did you? I thought we were going to start this year out sober" Scott asked hesitantly
"I take offence to that, I am sober as a judge." Lex cried out, still giggling "May I remind you that it was Only one time that I got totally smashed and threw up all over your bathroom."
"After an hour and a half of running round, claiming you were a buzzard and attempting to fly." Stiles so kindly reminded her.
"Yeah, not my proudest moment."
"It still haunts me." Scott concluded and all three proceeded to cringe. Lex snorted remembering her drunk antics, sitting back and listening to her best friends discuss the various ways that she'd 'scarred them for life'. She giggled and listened to them during the drive, correcting them if they fail to get their facts straight.
As the jeep pulled up, Lex jumped into the front seat and over Scott's lap and threw open the door too excited to wait any longer.
"Are we seriously doing this?" he complained to Lex as she straightened her green plaid shirt.
"You're the one whose always bitching that nothing ever happens in this town." Stiles said, clapping him on the shoulder as he and Lex lead the way past the Beacon Hills reserve sign.
"I was trying to get a good night sleep before practice tomorrow." Scott whined, falling behind them.
"Because sitting on the bench takes a lot of gruelling effort."
"If it makes you feel any better, I had the same idea before this lunatic called me up and convinced me to come with him" she stopped walking "Actually no, he didn't convince me, he told me I was coming, I really had no choice in the matter. Kidnapped oooooooh."
"Hey, don't you even try to pin the blame on me. You came of your own free will."
Scott laughed at their bickering, his smile faded "no, I'm playing this year. In fact, I'm making first line."
"Good for you, everyone has to have a dream, even a pathetically unrealistic one" Stiles said as they continued walking, he stick crunching beneath their feet. Lex elbowed him sharply in the ribs "Ouch! What was that... I just don't want him to get his hopes up, only to have coach cut him and put him on the bench all season. I don't know maybe if we were his favourites, we would be out there kicking ass" Lex scoffed at the accusation.
"I am not his favourite. He just takes advantage of me." Stiles' eyes widened at this comment and his neck moved in a fashion that made one assume it was boneless. "Not like that. I admit it wasn't the best wording. I mean, being a girl I am, fast, agile..."
"Small, delicate, fragile?" Scott teased.
"Intuitive. Which helps with game strategies." Lex huffed folding her arms.
"That plus 16 years of deep seeded anger issues, makes you unstoppable." Stiles poked.
"Damn straight." She laughed. "Look, honestly the man is insane. I have no idea why he picks on you and doesn't let you play, while I get to play EVERY single game" she bragged.
"Easy it's 'cause you're his favourite."
"Fuck you. I'm a girl that's why he treats me different. I seriously wish he didn't."
"Whatever you say princess" Stiles mocked, and she clenched her jaw fighting the temptation to smack him.
FLASHBACK
Lex practically bounced onto the field with her two best friends, Stiles Stilinski and Scott McCall, swinging a lacrosse stick in her hand. "I'm excited, are you excited? I might actually pass out I'm so excited. I love lacrosse." She beamed. Coach Finstock was calling names from the sign-up sheet.
"Kendall" he yelled, and Lex leaped forward as if about to accept an award.
"Here coach" she said, her full lips parting in a smile.
There was a still silence, where she could feel 60 pairs of eyes on her, judging everything about her.
Her short frame that wore a pair of leggings and a red t-shirt that hugged her curvy figure. Her mud stained running shoes, her pale complexion, her icy blue eyes and her jet black hair that was styled in a pixie cut, a long fringe cutting across her face at a sharp angle.
The silence broke and the field echoed with laughter. What did Lex do? Did she shy away? Cry? No she clutched her lacrosse stick and smacked into the stomach of the nearest beef brained douche on that field. The poor boy practically squealed in pain.
"Shut up Greenberg, walk it off." The coach yelled.
After about five more minutes of laughter and a parade of sexist jokes, it was decided they might as well see what she's got.
Lex lined up for suicide runs, the boys making constant comments, until finally one named Jackson Whitmore came up to her, smacking her on the ass.
"All the right curves in all the right places." He winked, before turning to walk off. But alas, he wouldn't get away with it that easily. Lex grabbed the collar of his shirt, pulling him down to her level.
"You touch me again, and I'll shove this..." she motioned to her stick "in all the wrong places. Savvy?" he nodded and fumbled away.
Over the course of the try outs she scored 6 goals and stopped 4 when she was put in goal.
"Alexandria" the coach called her over at the end of practice.
"Lex."
"What?"
"I prefer Lex"
"Whatever princess, you made the team. Not only that, you made first line. Congratulations." Lex didn't even hear the last word as she sprung toward Stiles so fast. Jumping into a hug. Ever since then the name 'princess' had stuck with Finstock and some of the boys on the team. It didn't bother her all that much. She really loved lacrosse; even if it did create some friction between her and the boys, as she was still first line and they were always on the bench.
END FLASHBACK
"Just out of curiosity" Scott said breaking the awkward moment "Which half of the body are we actually looking for?"
Stiles and Lex suddenly halted, looking at each other and pulling an array of strange faces.
"Yeah, we didn't take that into consideration" she said, speaking for the both of them.
"And what if whoever killed the body is still out here?" Scott asked again.
"Also something we didn't think about" Stiles admitted.
"Is it comforting to know, we planned this out with our usual attention to detail, Scotty?" Lex joked running her fingers over his shoulders.
"Very" he replied sarcastically.
They continued walking, a strange conversation about superheros blossoming between Stiles and Lex.
"No, we've been over this. Black widow is better than Batman, she is practically the same, but she did it without being ridiculously rich." She concluded.
"Guys, maybe the severe asthmatic should be the one holding the flashlight." Scott interrupted leaning against a tree, and taking out his inhaler. Lex stopped next to him, but he waved her off, gesturing for her to follow Stiles up the small hill. They hurried up the last few feet and dropped to the ground as soon as it evened out. They saw flashlights and heard dogs barking. Indicating that the police were already there searching for the body. They lied there, still amidst the leaves and dirt for a silent moment, hoping that a flashlight didn't catch them.
"Alright come on" Stile said, before taking off after the officers, Lex following right behind him.
"Stiles! Wait" Scott shouted after the two of them, taking a puff from his inhaler to help with his laboured breathing
"Quick!" Stiles hissed back as him and Lex dodged and weaved between trees, trying to avoid being caught in a flashlights gaze. Scott chased blindly after them, before calling again.
"Stiles! Lex!" he shouted
They looked around for their best friend, but not seeing him in the dark. Stiles span around and just as he was about to yell out, a large dog barked and toppled him over.
Lex ran to his aid, falling to her knees and shouting "zurück" at the dog, who whimpered and ran off. Stiles propped himself up on his elbows and raising an eyebrow at her. "It means back in German, I don't know why, but the police dog in this town respond to German. Come on "she smiled back, about to pull him to his feet.
"Hold it right there!" A voice boomed from the distance.
"Change of plan. Very sorry about this but-" she started, before rolling on top of him, positioning his hands on her waist and putting her own hand over his mouth. "Just go with it." She whispered, leaning down to kiss the hand over his mouth. A brilliant ruse, or so she thought.
"Hold on. This is little delinquent and his sidekick belong to me." The slightly more familiar voice, of the Sherriff called.
They hurried to their feet, Lex blinking blindly at the bright lights being shone on them.
"Hi dad." Stiles said, slightly deflated, his arm snaking around Lex's hips. Hoping the plan would work.
"Sheriff Stilinski." Lex nodded.
"Get your hand off her son, you're not fooling anyone." He replied. Stiles dropped his hand, and Lex simply shrugged in apology. "So do you listen in on all my phone calls?"
"No... not the boring ones." He smiled at his father
"Now where's your other partner in crime?"
"Who Scott? Scott- Scott's home. He said something about wanting to get a good night sleep for his first day back tomorrow." Lex lied breathlessly "it's just the two of us. In the woods. At night. Alone."
The sheriff looked at them doubtfully, before raising his flashlight to the tree behind them "Scott! You there Scott!" He gave up with a sigh and looked at the two teenagers standing before him.
"See, just us." Stiles smiled.
"Well young man, little lady." He clapped them on the shoulders and started leading them toward the reserve trail. "I'm going to walk you back to your car, you are going to take Ms. Kendall here home and then you and I are going to have a little chat about something called 'invasion of privacy', is that clear?"
Lex and Stiles grimaced at each other like small children as the sheriff escorted them back to the jeep, all the while trying to ignore the policeman breathing down their necks.
"Beware the wrath of papa bear." Lex joked, and Stiles who sneered at her comment.
"You two are lucky I know you, and like you otherwise you could be in some serious trouble, You two could have potentially contaminating a crime scene," said the sheriff who felt Lex's shoulders drop in a fake shame. "You are lucky I didn't arrest you. Maybe I should just to teach you a lesson. Probably should have the first time you snuck into a crime scene and the 2 dozen times after that..."
"We're good." Lex said hurriedly, not wanting to spend her first day back at school in jail. "We're just inquisitive. We meant no harm" she batted her eyelashes.
"Just get out of here."
"Will do." She said opening the jeep door. "Oh, and one more thing. Don't tell my dad."
"Don't tell me what?" the deep but husky voice of her father echoed behind her, sending shivers up her spine. She silently cursed to herself before turning around with a big warm smile.
"How much I love you." She lied, trying to look innocent.
"I heard some of the young officers mention a 'cute girl with short hair making out with Stilinski's son.' That wouldn't be you would it?"
"What, no. I am offended that you would accuse me of such..." she began, as he stared at her. "Okay, it was me. But we weren't actually making out, we were just looking for half a dead body. If that makes you feel any better." She attempted to justify herself.
Her father was the deputy sheriff, and had been on the force as long as she could remember. That's how she came to know Stiles, it seemed like she'd know him all her life, but really they met when they were three, and bonded over an action figure she had. They'd been pretty much inseparable since. She of course became fast friends with Scott when Stiles introduced the two of them. Her dad had always been strict. Very strict and not particularly nice either, that's why Lex spent so much of her time at the Stilinski's it really had become a second home for her.
"It doesn't make me feel better. And it doesn't make your punishment any less severe. You are grounded for 3 months, no computer outside of school work, no friends houses after school. We will discuss this further at home. And if your average this year is anything below an A, there will be consequences. Namely, no more lacrosse." Her father, said in a harsh yell that made Lex quake with fear. "Now get home!" he finished.
"yes Sir" she said timidly, climbing into the front of the jeep and bunching her hands into fists, trying to stop herself from shaking. Stiles got in and drove off, when they were far enough away, she lashed out. Slamming her fist into the door.
"Hey, hey. What's wrong?" Stiles said, pulling the car over to the edge of the road. She locked her jaw and said nothing. "Well, I'm not starting this car until you tell me. Is it your dad?" no movement "Why was he so harsh on you?"
"Because I'm already grounded from the last time I snuck out. And he just found out I got a c in math last year, and... that wasn't him being harsh. Trust me." She hissed.
"Well, that sucks but, please don't take it out on my jeep."
"Would you rather me take it out on your face?" She screamed, the anger running through her like a icy flame. Stiles moved his back pressing against the driver side door, trying to escape her reach. "I'm sorry." She said solemnly calming down a little.
"It's okay." Stiles said, straightening up and starting the car. "Just so you know, you're not the only one who's going to be in trouble when they get back. My dad may kill me... twice"
"Chin up bitch." Lex laughed, causing Stiles to laugh with her. Lex had been saying that to Stiles since his mom died when they were ten. It was her own way of saying 'stay strong and you'll be alright' for someone with such a way with words, she wasn't very good with emotion. So that's the best he got from her, which of course he loved.
The car pulled up outside the Kendall's house, practically a mini mansion. As much as she liked to pretend otherwise her family were extremely well off especially considering her father was only deputy Sheriff. Lex just looked up at it. She breathed out slowly, all the windows were black indicating it was safe to use the front door.
"Thanks for ride. See you at school tomorrow. Bio is our first class, don't forget." She said jumping off the seat onto the grass.
"I'll try not to. But no promises." Stiles joked.
"And call Scott for me too. "
"Will do. Now go home."
"Peace out bitch." Lex snarled slamming the car door shut. As soon as the car took off down the street, her shoulders slumped and she sighed heavily, before walking ever so slowly to the front door. She walked up the stairs to her room, not even bothering to flick on the light.
She blindly reached under her pillow for the big shirt she wore as Pajamas's, she grabbed it and got changed, discarding her dirty clothes randomly on the floor, before crawling into bed. Moving around a little to make it warm, and get comfortable she eventually drifted off into a dreamless sleep. Blissfully unaware of the thing lurking in the dark of Beacon Hills, the thing which had just taken a bite out of her best friend.
Hope you enjoyed it. Don't be afraid to leave a review, be terrified not to, but don't be scared to.
