A/N: This is my first story so please bear with me. I put this as M, just to be sure. I don't know if this will be slash or not, so parings undecided (could be any of these: Stiles/Derek, Stiles/Issac, or Stiles/Peter). I don't know if I will finish this either. It all depends on feed back if no one likes it I'll probably take it down and try something else.
Okay so climbing up on Scott's roof probably wasn't the smartest idea, but he really wanted to tell Scott about the dead body in the woods. Besides he had already called him and kept getting his answering machine. Stiles looked into Scott's window found the room empty. Hearing foot steps below he quickly goes to the balcony and swings up side down.
Only to find Scott about to pound is face in with a bat! A scream tears from Stiles throat with the sound of Scott's screams ringing in his ears.
"Whoa!"
"What the hell are you doing!", Scott pauses from being a heart beat away from pounding is face in. An astonished look on his face.
"You weren't answering your phone!", looking at his Scotts hands, "Why do you have a bat?"
"I thought you were a predator." Why in the world would he think he was a predator was beyond Stiles.
"Look, I know it's late but you got to hear this. Saw my dad leave twenty minutes ago, dispatch car. They're bringing in every officer Beacon department and even state police." Stiles explained.
"For what?" Scott already looking like he wanted to go back inside.
"Two joggers found a body in the woods", Stiles feels his feet slip crashing to the ground, that's going to leave bruises in the morning.
Laying on the ground he hears Scott say, "A dead body?" Stiles swears sometimes why he even bothers.
Quickly picking himself up off the ground, leaning on the railing, "No a body of water. Yes, dumbass a dead body!"
Climbing over the railing, "You mean like murdered?" and Scott says with a bit of confusion.
With a sigh "Nobody knows yet, just that a girl, probably in her twenties."
Scott still looks confused "Wait hold on, if they found a body then what are they looking for?"
With growing excitement "That's the best part. They only found half." Stiles looks proud of himself for finding out this wonderful news or maybe not so wonderful, but exciting nothing less.
Scott just looks at him already knowing what's coming. Before he can say any protests, "We're going."
Stiles in his baby pulls up to Beacon Hills Preserve with Scott in tow. Both of them hop out of the jeep. "We're seriously doing this?" Scott sounds like he would rather be anywhere but here.
"You're the one that's always bitchin that nothing ever happens.", turning on his flash light. He wasn't going to let Scott ruin this opportunity.
"I was trying to get a good nights sleep before practice tomorrow." Scott says from behind him. Stiles already heading off into the woods.
"Right, cause sitting on the bench is such a grueling effort." Please, Scott was horrible at lacrosse and his asthma didn't make his chances any better.
"No because, I'm playing this year. In fact I'm making first line." Stiles didn't know where he got the idea that he could make first line, but trying to be an encouraging friend, even if a little sarcastic, "Hey that's the spirit! Everyone should have a dream even a hypothetically unrealistic one." Stiles said, laughing to himself.
"Just out of curiosity, which half of the body are we looking for?" Scott pipes up behind him, completely ignoring what Stiles said.
Well crap, good question, probably should have thought about this before hand. "Didn't even think about that."
"Well, what if whatever killed the body is still out here?", Scott says from behind him. Damn another good question. Curse his ADHD, forever causing him to rush things without thinking them through.
"Also something I didn't think about." Stiles admitted. Too late we're already here and he wasn't going to turn back now.
"It's comforting to know you've planned this out with your usual attention to detail", Scott huffs out behind him as they climb a hill. "Maybe the severe asthmatic one should be the one holding the flash light." Scott says leaning up against a tree, pulling out his inhaler.
Finally reaching the top of the hill he sees officers with flash lights. Stiles throws himself to the ground a second later Scott lands beside him. Stiles turns off his light. He knows they have to run or they'll be caught just laying here. "Wait, come on", Stiles says quietly already on his feet.
A second later Scott yells out "Stiles!" Are you kidding me? Did he really just do that? He knows the officers heard Scott yelling his name. Already running Stiles hears Scott behind me "Wait up!" Not slowing down, he's tempted to just leave him for doing that. "Stiles!" Scott says in a whispered yelled trying to catch up. "Stiles!" Scott now yelling again. Quickly looking ahead of him he sees his father, but before he his light hits his face he darts off to the right, Scott following behind him. Why did it have to be his father that almost catches him? Not that he's out of danger yet, but still.
Both of them run until the sound of the police become quieter and quieter. Slowing down everything seems to be too quiet. Both catching their breath Scott pulls out his inhaler again.
Looking around suddenly a herd of deer run through the forest almost trampling them! Both of them are knocked to the ground, Stiles curling up on his side so he isn't trampled. Hoping that Scott is smart enough to do the same. Hooves narrowly missing him, if he had longer hair it would be blowing around in the air with the speed of the deer. Finally it's over, the deer making there way through the trees. Adrenaline pounding he lays there hearing Scott do the same.
Pulling himself to his feet seeing Scott getting up as well. "Are you alright? That was crazy! Why do you think they did that! Do you think something startled them! Is something out there?" Stiles rambled.
"Yes I'm alright now be quiet, I'm listening." with a pause "Do you hear anything?" Scott said frowning into the forest.
Keeping his mouth shut for the time being he listened. It was really quiet, maybe something was still out there. What if what got that girl was going to get them too? Okay calm down, now is not the time to freak out Stiles mental scowled himself. They have a body to find.
"No I don't hear anything." Stiles said looking around.
Scott looks down around him pulling out his phone, "I dropped my inhaler do you see it?"
Right light, quickly turning on his flash light Stiles scans the ground. Stiles wanders a few feet away looking for the inhaler, hears Scott yell. Quickly running over he sees the issue. Laying on the ground he sees the upper half a naked woman with her back to the sky laying in blood. Her long brown hair doing nothing to cover up her guts. Why did her eyes have to be open? An accusing grey staring up at me.
He doesn't know how he missed it before, but the air is starting to smell of death.
Scott being the dumbass he his falls down a hill in fright. Quickly I scramble down the hill to help him up. Pulling Scott up off the ground, "Dude you okay?"
"Yeah just a few bruises". Our hearts freeze in our chest, a weird rumbling sound fills the air. Both of them still. "What the hell is that?" Scott whispers.
Swallowing "I think it's growling", looking around they spot a really, really big wolf. Squinting, that can't be right wolves don't have red eyes. Before Stiles can say anything, much less move the wolf jumps on Scott biting him in the side. Quickly spotting a stick Stiles picks it up and hits the wolf. Not the brightest thing to do, but I'm not going to watch Scott get eaten! Hitting the wolf on shoulder, God this thing is huge! Wolves don't even live in this area! What are the chances of coming across a wolf then finding that looks like it takes steroids for a living!
The moment the stick strikes the wolf it quickly turns around and before he can blink his back hit's the ground. Ow! Let's just add more bruises the list. A heavy weight settles across him. Oh God he's going to die! Who's going to look after his dad? His dad can't afford to loose another family member! Throwing up his arms Stiles tries to knock the wolf off, it doesn't even slow the wolf down. Fangs glisten in the moon light and he's unable to stop the wolf from getting near his throat he knows this is it. He feels the wolf's teeth clamp down on his shoulder through muscle and down to the bone. He screams and continues to try to get the wolf off of him. The sudden thought of his dad finding him in the woods, probably with Scott twists his stomach and tries to keep himself from throwing up.
Just as quickly as the wolf had bit him, it decides to let go. He didn't know when he shut his eyes, but he opens them to find the wolf gone and Scott holding his side on the ground. Guilt and fear flood his veins, he really shouldn't have gone out to find half of a body.
"Scott, man are you okay?", Stiles says as slowly gets to his feet he blood loss already making him dizzy and makes his way towards his friend.
Scott slowly gets to his feet, "That wolf…it bit me.". Scott looks down at his side, but quickly covers it with his hand to try and stop he bleeding. Finally looking over at Stiles he sees blood pooling around his shoulder. "You got bit too?" Scott says squinting as if it's the most confusing thing.
Annoyed, but glad that he made it out alive, so far. "No, that's just where I spilled some fruit punch earlier. Crazy isn't it? Of course the wolf bit me too!" Looking down at his shoulder as best that he could, it didn't look like it was going to need stitches, but was definitely going to scar.
Remembering the girl, "Should we go look at the body again?" an imagine of her life less eyes accusing me as it was my fault she died.
"Oh, God no! That was awful! Why would you want to go look at her again?" Scott's utter look of disgust made him feel stupid. Then a thoughtful look came across Scotts face and he just knew he wasn't going to like what he said next. "We should tell your dad we found her."
Stiles just stared at him a moment as if he was joking, but Stiles knew he wasn't. "That fall must have left more than a few bruises. If I tell my dad we found the body he'll know it was us out here! I'll be grounded till I'm old man! I'm not going to tell him and neither will you." Giving Scott a pointed stare.
"How will they find her then! What if the wolf comes back and finishes off the rest of her?" Scott retaliates looking determined.
"That's not our problem and he probably won't finish her off before they find her. They're already looking and will probably find her soon. It's best that we just go back home already." Besides his shoulder was really hurting. He needed to get home, clean it and then get some sleep. Tomorrow can't be any worse then today.
Scott stared at his face trying to find a way to change is mind. With a sign, "Fine, I got to try and get some sleep in for practice anyway." Looking around, "Which way is the road?"
Damn, after all the running, seeing a dead girl, and being attacked he didn't know. "I guess we'll have to walk until we find a road." Pulling out his phone he checked to see if he had a signal, he didn't. "Do you have a signal?"
"No" Scott grits out. Not like he could really call his dad anyway to come find them.
Scott groans, "Being first line is a dream now at this rate." Scott says kicking the leaves nearest his foot.
Muttering under is breath, "It was a dream to begin with." Stiles not knowing which way to go just picks a direction and starts walking.
"Where are you doing? You can't just leave me here!" Scott yells from behind me.
"Home and I'm not leaving you, you have legs use them." Stiles says over his shoulder. Why would Scott even think he was leaving him? He's the one that dragged him out hear, might as well bring him back. Using is flash light Stiles tries to find the road.
They walk for what feels like forever, but he knows it really must be ten minutes. Seeing lights move up ahead quickly, Stiles knows it must be a car, no man can run that fast. "There I see lights, must be a road up ahead."
Scott looks up from the ground, "Good now I can go home and get some sleep."
Quickly as they can, they walk across the forest, with anticipation in there hearts. When they get up the road they realize it's going to be a long way back. With a moon over their heads and the sound of a howl shaking through he night they quickly follow the road.
