A young teenager at the age of 16 was laying on top of her bed making sure she had everything ready for the first day of school tomorrow. She had long dark brown hair that flowed passed her shoulders in layers and bangs covering her brown eyes. She was average looking. Not super model gorgeous but she liked to think that she wasn't bad looking. Her figure said she liked to keep in shape.
Riley wasn't looking forward to her sophomore year at all. She just wanted school to be over with. The reason was the fact that everyone always gave her weird looks. Mainly because of the incident that happened six years ago. A hunter decided to burn her family home down. Only a few made it out including herself, older brother, and her Uncle. She hasn't seen her brother since he took her to the Hospital that night and her Uncle was currently in a non responsive state having just came out of a coma.
While, Riley was at the Hospital a nurse there, Melissa McCall asked if she had anyone that could look after her. After saying no, Melissa was kind enough to take her in. She had grown close with her son Scott over the years, him becoming protective of her. Almost like another brother. And she became fast friends with his best friend Stiles Stilinski. Though secretly she had a crush on him. But he only had eyes for the popular girl Lydia Martin. Why? Riley didn't know. She may have been pretty but she was constantly rude to him.
One of the many things, Riley hated was that she had to keep the fact that werewolves existed. She couldn't tell the Sheriff what really happened that night. Who would believe her? It still sucked though to have to keep that information to herself. Unlike most of her family though, Riley was human so she didn't have to worry about shifting on full moons. That would be hard to explain.
As she gathered her things, she suddenly heard Scott screaming at the top of his lungs downstairs followed by another scream that belonged to their friend. She face palmed as she made her way downstairs to see Scott holding a baseball bat and Stiles dangling upside down from their roof limbs flailing wildly.
"What the Hell are you guys doing? Are you trying to wake up everyone on our street?" Riley asked after they both stopped screaming.
"I thought he was a predator!" Scott defended himself. He had dark hair, tan skin, and friendly brown eyes.
"Well as you can see, I'm not. So put the freaking bat down!" Stiles said. He was pale, a few moles covering his face. Black hair shaved down into a buzz cut and warm brown eyes. She swore if she looked at them in a certain light they were almost golden.
"What are you doing here so late anyway? You know that could be considered predator behavior. You are dangling from our roof like a crazy person." Riley pointed out.
"Very funny." Stiles said. "Look. I'm here for a good reason. I saw my dad leave 20 minutes ago. Dispatch called. They're bringing in every officer from the Beacon Department, and even State Police."
Scott and Riley exchanged glances before Scott asked the question that was on her mind. "For what?" This sounded serious.
"Two joggers found a body in the woods." Stiles clearly got tired from dangling upside down so he let go doing a flip to land on his feet. He seemed way too excited about this and Riley was starting to wonder why.
"A dead body?" Scott asked clearly surprised and Riley wanted to face palm.
"No a body of water." Riley said sarcasm dripping from her voice. "Obviously a dead body."
"I was just making sure." Scott said before adding. "You mean like murdered?"
"Nobody knows yet. Just that it was a girl, probably in her 20s." Stiles explained.
"Hold on. If they found the body then what are they looking for?" Scott asked.
"Yeah. That's what I'd like to know." Riley added.
This is where, Stiles got his grin. A grin that said they were about to do something that would more than likely get them into trouble. "That's the best part. They only found half. We're going."
And that's the end of the first chapter. Let me know what you guys think.
