A few months later, everything was finally going back to normal. Okay, I am over extracting just little. We were all slowly healing, after Malia's death. I felt bad mostly for Peter. A part of me still blames myself. I really thought he would go off on me. But he didn't. Even someone as burned on the inside like him couldn't stop feeling this miserable pain. Losing someone that was a part of your pack is like losing one of your limbs. The sad thing is we didn't have much time for remorse, there was already a new problem. It wouldn't be Beacon Hills, if there wasn't. I went back to my Dad's house, after everything that went down. This morning my dad wasn't there, I just assumed he went off to work like always. Later that afternoon, I had jogged off to Scott's house. As I came to a stop at his front door. I took a breath are two, okay just a breath. Running was so much easier than I remember. Eventually, I walked in, and called out for Scott. Then I asked, "If he was there." "Yeah, I am here.", Scott called out back to me slowly jogging down the stairs. "Hey, bud." I say giving him a fist bump. "What's up?", He asked. "Nothing, much just wanted to ask you something that's all.", I replied. "Shoot.", he replies. "Okay, I want to get a tattoo.", I tell him. Scott reaction wasn't what I expected. He told me it was a stupid idea. I laughed at him, and told him it wasn't. He then told me I was right, and that it was an awful idea. That's when I heard. "What's an awful idea?" I turned around to see who it was behind me. I give her a wink, and smiled. "I am only here, because a certain someone is at school." Liam, I thought, just as Theo walked in. Then Lydia spoke a little louder. "What is an awful idea?" "Stiles- I cut Scott off by saying, "Me getting tattoos." "Now is multiple, that's even worse.", Scott practically barks out. Lydia looked at me, and objects, "But you hate needles." "What's the point of the tattoos anyway?", Theo asked. "Well, now that you ask. Since I am a wolf now." Theo cuts in, "Well technically you didn't kill the beast." I glared at him, and said, "Be careful or I'll kill you." "Your pretty little girlfriend what approve of that." "Actually, Lydia starts, I would actually help him." "Whoa, Theo starts, but was cut off by Lydia. "Continue, Stiles." I smile at her. "Thanks, now back to what I was saying. I want a tattoo because- Theo cuts me off once more. "Tattoos, you mean." I glared at him, continued on. "I want a tattoo, because I am actually part of the pack now, and I survived. Scott look, you remember why you wanted your tattoo right? I just want to reward myself like you have." Scott looked at me. "Well- I cut Theo off before he got another word out. "Shut up, Theo. You shouldn't even be here, after everything you had caused." "Stiles, you were always part of the pack", Scott tries to tell me. "Yeah well at least now. I don't have to slow you down anymore.", I tell him. "Stiles-Scott starts. But I stopped him, and went ahead, and finished what I was going to say. Until Lydia spoke. "Stiles, your Scott's best friend. "You always came up- I cut her off. "Why are you agreeing with him on this? Lydia, you once knew exactly how I felt. All I had was a brain. Just like all you had was voices in your head remember." "Look, I wasn't even supposed to survive the bite. I was weak, and useless, but Chris, Melissa, Hayden, Mason, and Deacon helped. I am alive because of them. I am alive. So, I want to reward myself. I will reward myself. "But what else do you need? You already have Lydia." Theo states. I was just about to snap when Scott told, "Theo to shut up or get out." Lydia commented, that it was a wonderful idea. "Wait, what is?", Theo asked. He actually sort of looked concerned this time. Lydia snapped, "Both." Theo finally went quiet.
