Chapter one: Wolf Moon
One day, someone will walk into your life,
and make you see why it never
worked out with anyone else.
-Unknown
Stiles waited for his dad to take off and as soon he was gone Stiles pulled on a jacket and rushed down the stairs, out the front door and to his jeep. He gets in the driver's seat and takes out his phone, calling Scott again, with no answer. Lexi was walking out with the trash her mother had asked her to do, when she saw Stiles run out of his house and then get into his jeep. Lexi decided to find out what he was up to and walked over to the jeep. Stiles jumped in fright as there was a knock on the driver side window. He puts a hand over his heart and turns to see who it was. He started to relax when he saw that it is only Lexi and rolls down his window.
"Where are you going at a time like this and on a school night?" Lexis asked Stiles with a smug smile, knowing she scared the living crap out of him.
"Are trying to kill me?!" Stiles asked Lexi trying to get control over his heartbeat.
"No, if I was I would have brought a knife or something. It's not like I can scare you into having a heart attack."She answered sarcastically.
"But with the way you eat, you never really know," Lexi said getting lost in thought.
"Anyway, where are you going?" Lexis question again.
"Me? I was.. " Stiles said then started to hesitate, not knowing what to say. Stiles try desperately to come up with a lie but got nothing as his brain shuts down. Lexi rolls her eyes at his tries to come up with a lie.
"Stiles." She said annoyingly.
Stiles was snapped out of his thoughts and saw the unamused look Lexi was giving him. He realized that this was Lexi there was no way he would be able to lie to her and get away with it. If he couldn't lie when he was 10, then he surely couldn't do it now. Stiles took a deep breath and started to ramble what he heard from his dad's phone call and that he had been trying to reach Scott and that he didn't answer, the whole ramble end with Stiles begging Lexi, not to tell his dad and destroy his plan.
"Don't move, you move an inch and am calling your dad."
With that said Lexi walked away from the jeep and across the street, into her parent's house. Stiles watch her in his review mirrors, waiting for Lexi to come back, not move an inch. Lexi walked out of the house with a hoody jacket with the zipper opened, that she didn't have on before, keys, and phone in her hands. She got in the passenger seat. Stiles stared at Lexi not really knowing what to do. Lexi can feel Stiles starring.
"What? You really think that I'm gonna let you, or Scott waltz into the woods alone, looking for a dead body?" Lexi asked and turned to look at Stiles. Stiles looked at Lexi, his mouth opening and closing like a fish not know what to say. He didn't get a chance to answer her question before she did it herself.
"No, I don't think so, if you are going to do something that stupid, I'm coming with to make sure you don't get lost, or end up dead yourself, or in your case get caught," Lexi said sounding serious.
"So are we going or what?" Lexi said with a small smile.
Stiles turned on the engine and backed out of the driveway. He couldn't be more excited, not only for the chance to find a dead body but that Lexi had agreed to come with even if he hadn't asked for her to come. After Lexi had graduated and started to work, she didn't have much time to hang out him anymore, something Stiles thought sucked. He loves to hand out with Lexi, she taught him and Scott to play lacrosse, and would train with them on occasion.
"What were you doing at your parent's house? How did you even know what I was doing?" Stiles said confused. Lexi had moved out of her parent's house a couple of months ago, and lived by herself.
"Were you spying on me?" He asked her a bit shocked.
"Yes, Stiles you got me. On my free time, I like to follow you are around, I even have my little notebooks where I write everything thing down." Lexi sarcastic said while she rolled her eyes and a small smile playing on her lips.
"Really?" Stiles asked a little surprised by the answer.
"No, I don't spend my free time stalking you. I have a life. I'm repainting my apartment, and since it's a mess right now, I'm staying at my parents, for now." Lexi said sounding amused.
The rest of the drive to Scott's house was in silence, as they got to the house Stiles parked his jeep in the driveway. Lexi started to go to the front door but notice that Stiles was not following her, he was climbing the railing on the front porch and was trying to get on the roof. Lexi stood on the ground trying not to laugh, shaking her head at his stupidity. If he was doing this not to get detected by Scott's mom Melissa, it was just a waste of time.
Her car was not in the driveway, meaning she was not home and probably at work. Lexi sat down on the front lawn to get a good view of Stiles miraculous climb, she was amazed that he hadn't fallen, but she spoke too soon, Stiles was starting to lose his footing. Scott had heard Stiles climbing on top of the roof and gone out on the front porch to find out what was making the noises. Scott was holding a bat ready to swing if anything were to jump out at him.
Stiles started to fall backward but somehow managed to get his foot stuck, instead of plummeted to the ground he was dangling from the roof. Stiles fall scared Scott, and he started screaming which made Stiles scream too and waving his arms in an attempt not to be hit by Scott's bat. When Scott sees who it is hanging from the roof, he calms down. In the meantime, Lexi was still sitting on the lawn now laughing at the two idiots she calls friends.
"Stiles, what the hell are you doing?" Scotts screams at his friend still holding the bat ready to swing if he needed to.
"You were not answering your phone," Stiles said as his mind wondered why Scott had a bat.
"Why do you have a bat?" Stiles asked Scott.
Scott turned his head to look at the bat in his hands then looks back at Stiles before answering Stiles. As mush as Lexi love to enjoy the scene in front of her, she decided that she was going to have to get up and help Stiles down before he broke his neck. She didn't what to have that kind of conversation with the sheriff, how it happened or why she and Stiles were here in the first place. Lexi got up from the lawn and headed to where the boys were.
"I thought you were a predator," Scott said explained his actions to Stiles.
"A pred... " Stiles muttered annoyed.
Lexi stood now next to Stiles' dangling upper body and Scott notice that she was there. She sent Scott a smile, nod in greeting. Scott gave a smile and a small wave back.
"I know it's late, but you got to hear this. I saw my dad leave 20 minutes ago dispatch called they are bringing every officer in Beacon department, and the stat police." Stiles said bringing Scott's attention back on him.
"For what?" Scott asked. Stiles had gotten Scott's interest in the matter. Lexi climbed up on the railing and upon the roof. So she could see how Stiles was hanging the way he was.
"Two joggers found a body in the woods," Scott answered Scott's question.
Lexi started help Stiles so he could get down safely. Stiles hold on the railing, so he could turn his body making him landed feet first. Stiles lands with a thud on the ground and Lexi gracefully climb down and landed next to Stiles, who was brushing off his hands no his jeans. Scotts looked over the railing down on Stiles and Lexi.
"A dead body?" Scott asked.
Lexi and Stiles could clearly hear an excitement in his voice. Stiles gives Lexi a look like is he for real.
"No a body of water, dumb ass. Yes, a dead body." Stiles said sarcastically.
Lexi let out a small laugh. She and Stiles climb over the railing and onto the porch. As Stiles stand in front of Scott, Lexi sits down on the railing and leans her right shoulder and head on one of the posts.
"You mean like murdered?" Scott asked, little shocked.
"Nobody knows jet, just that a girl probably in her 20s." Said Stiles started to get excited.
"Hold on if they found the body, then what are they looking for?" Scott said sounding even more confused.
"That's the best part, they only found half," Stiles said trying to hold back the excitement he was feeling.
Lexi could see that whatever was going to come out of Stiles' mouth next was going to be a bad idea. He always got that look and, you knew someone was going to end up hurt or get in trouble. Stiles places his hand on Scott's shoulder.
"We are going." That was all Stiles had to say to get Scott with him. Lexi sigh jumped down from the railing onto the porch and walked with the boys. Scott put away the bat, got his phone and keys. Scott locked the door, and they went to the Beacon Hills preserve.
When they got there, it had started to rain. Stiles and Scott got out of the jeep, Scott stood by the passage door, holding it open so Lexi could climb out for the back seat.
"We're seriously gonna do this?" Scott asked as Lexi got out of the jeep.
"You are the one that always bitches nothing happens in this town," Stiles said as he started to walk out into the preserve.
Lexi soon followed Stiles as Scott hesitated but started to follow Lexi and Stiles not wanting to be left alone. Stiles walk first leading the way, as he was the one holding the flashlight.
"I was trying to get a good night sleep before practice tomorrow," Scott said as he walked next Lexi.
"Right cause sitting on a bench is such a grueling effort," Stiles said. Lexi rolled her eyes at them.
"No, because am playing this year. In fact, am making First line." Scott said with determination.
Lexi could not help but smile at Scott. He wanted to play, and he was good, he just couldn't play because of his asthma. You can't play lacrosse if you only could run a few feet before having to stop.
"Well if you make First line I'll make sure to come to every game and cheer you on," Lexi said.
"That's the spirit, everyone should have a dream even pathetically unrealistic one," Stiles said. Scott gave an annoyed look. Why can't Stiles be supported like Lexi was Scott thought as they walked deeper into the woods.
"Just out of curiosity which part of the body are we looking for?" Scott asked.
"Yeah, Stiles that is a good question," Lexi said.
"Ah... I didn't even think about that." Stiles answered a little stunned that he hadn't thought about that himself.
"Do you think she was split horizontally or vertical? You know, cut through the waist or head to toe..."Lexi thought out loud. Stiles was going to answer her, but she interrupted him before he could.
"Okay never mind. I'm getting sick just thinking about it." Lexi said trying to get the mental image to go away.
"And what if whoever killed the body is still out here?" Scott asked.
"We run and scream as loud as we can, hope Stiles' dad find us before the killer gets to us. I would rather deal with an annoyed sheriff, then a psychotic murderer." Lexi suggested.
"Also something I didn't think about, but I like Lexis idea," Stiles said.
They had reached a high and steep hill. Stiles went first then Lexi and last Scott.
"It's comforting to know you planned this with your usual attention to detail," Scott said as he started getting trouble breathing.
"I know but that why we have Lexi to help us out. Right Lexi?" Stiles said.
"Yeah sure, but someday I'm going to draw the line. Then you and Scott would be on your own. What will you do then?" Lexi said.
"That's not gonna happen," Stiles said. Lexi was not sure if he was trying to persuade himself or her.
"Maybe the severe asthmatic should hold the flashlight," Scott said to Stiles leaning against a tree as he takes out and takes a hit from his inhaler, before again follows Lexi and Stiles. Stiles reached the top of the hill and laid down on the ground as he noticed the flashlights up ahead. Lexi got down in the dirt and laid down next to Stiles. Scott tripped over a root and landed next to Stiles no his right side. They can see a lot of moving flashlights ahead and hear dogs barking. Stiles turns off the flashlight in his hands. They looked at other knowing that they would be in big trouble if they got caught.
"Okay, come on." With that said Stiles got up and takes off into the woods. Lexi followed without a problem it was not the same for Scott. Scott calls out for Stiles and Lexi as he takes out his inhaler and takes a hit before running after his friends.
"Wait up! Stiles! Lexi!" Scott calls, still having trouble keeping up. Stiles and Lexi continue to run, as they were running the kept a close eye on the flashlights. Scott calls out to Stiles and Lexi again. Stiles and Lexi slow down and comes to a stop waiting for Scott to keep up. A K-9 unit shows up behind them the dog started to bark at Stiles and Lexi. Stiles stumbled over his own feet and dropped to the ground, taking Lexi with him in the fall. The dog proceeded to growl at them as they sat on the ground and the officer was momentarily blinding them with his flashlight.
"Stop right there!" The officer called out to them. Scott ducked behind a tree trying not to be seen by the officer. Suddenly an all to familiar voice called out.
"Hang on! Hang on! This little delinquent belongs to me." Sheriff Stilinski Stiles' dad called out to the officer that stood in front of Stiles and Lexi.
Lexi brushing of leafs of her clothes knew that they were in deep trouble. Stiles stood up still blinded by the flashlight that was aimed at him, trying to play the whole situation off.
"Dad, how are you doing?" Stiles asked.
"Son, do you listen in on all my phone calls?" The sheriff seriously asked.
"No... Not the boring ones." Stiles said as his voice drifted off at the end. Lexi stood there seriously regretting the decision to come with Stiles and Scott right now, and Stiles was not helping the situation they were in.
"Where is your usual partner in crime?" The sheriff asked Stiles.
"Who Scott?" Stiles asked but Lexi interpreted him before he could say anything else.
"Scott is home. Made the smart decision to stay home." Lexi said looking at Stiles giving him a hit that this was a bad idea in the first place before turning to face the sheriff again.
"He said he wanted to get a good night sleep for the first day back at school tomorrow," Lexi said trying to stop Stiles from making the situation worse.
"It's just me and Lexi.. in the woods.. alone," Stiles said trying to persuade his dad that it was only him and Lexi.
"Scott, you out there!" Sheriff call apparently he didn't believe them. Sheriff moved his flashlight in the direction that Stiles and Lexi had come from and called out for Scott again, with no answer or sign of him. Sheriff turns off his flashlight and turns to Stiles and Lexi.
"Well, young man." He said as he walks towards Stiles. "I'm going to walk you and Lexi back to your car." The Sheriff brought his arm around Stiles and grabbed his neck collar and tugged Stiles along.
"And you and I are going to have a conversation about something called an invasion of privacy. And Lexi you are going to learn to say no to whatever stupid idea my son can come up with." The sheriff said as he Stiles and Lexi started to back to Stiles jeep, leaving Scott to fend for himself.
Scott still standing behind the tree now banging his head against the tree. He has two choices the first is to walk out from the tree he declares his presence and gets him, Lexi and Stiles in more trouble and the second one is to wait and then walk home. Scott sighed and decided to go with the second option, he did a quick look around the tree, before he started to move in the direction out of the woods. Scott looked in every direction making sure he would not be noticed by the officers still in the woods. The sky opened up, and thunder roared up ahead. Out of nowhere Scott hears a loud howl.
Stiles, Lexi, and the sheriff finally arrived at the jeep. After a long walk of the sheriff schooling them. Lexi got into the passenger seat and Stiles in the driver seat, while the sheriff watches over them like and hawk. Stiles started the jeep and drove away from the preserve and the sheriff left to join the search party.
"What do we do now?" Stiles frankly asked Lexi.
"You are going drive us home," Before Lexi could finish she was interrupted by Stiles.
"What about Scott?" Stiles wondered feeling distressed that he left Scott alone in the woods.
"If let me finish," Lexi said looking at annoyed. Stiles got uncomfortable under Lexis stare. He makes a hand gesture for Lexi to continue.
"We are going to go home," Lexi said look at Stiles as he opens his mouth but stops whatever he was going to say when he sees the look Lexi is giving him, daring him to interrupt her again.
"You are gonna go to bed like your dad told you and I'm going to drive out and get Scott, so he doesn't have to walk all the way home," Lexi said, and Stiles completely okay with that idea. The rest of the drive was silent.
Scott walked around in the woods looking around him. He came to a complete stop and stared into the woods in front of him when a herd of deer comes running at him. Scott fell onto his back, and in the fall he dropped his inhaler which got kicked away by a deer leaping over him. Scott desperately tried not to be trampled by the deer. As the last deer pass Scott, he sat up and looked around not believing what just happened.
"What the hell," Scott whispers to himself.
Scott got up from the ground and bruised of the leafs and dirt of him. Scott took out his phone, turns it on so he can use it as a flashlight to find his inhaler. Scott stumble around still looking for his inhaler when he found the body. Scott terrified lose his footing and fell down a small hill, on the way down he hits a tree, then lands on the bottom on his stomach.
Stiles drove up in his driveway and shut of the engine.
"Go to bed Stiles. Try to get some sleep, big day tomorrow. I'll text you when I found Scott." Lexi said with a sincere tone. Stiles agreed, and they got out of the jeep. Lexi walked over to her car parked outside her parent's house and told Stiles not to worry.
"What will you do if my dad sees you?" Stiles asked.
"I'll think of something, don't worry. Good night Stiles." Lexi said as she got into her car and drove back to the preserve.
Scott stood up feeling like things couldn't be any worse. Also most being trampled by a herd of deer, losing his inhaler, finding the body, something that was going give him nightmares and tumbling down the hill, hitting his back. Scott brushed of leaves and mud off his clothing. The hairs on the back of his neck stood up, and he felt someone was watching him. Scott slowly turned around and saw what looks like a huge wolf. Before Scott could move, the wolf-like creature ran and jumped him. He tried to fight to get away, but to no avail. During the struggle to get away it managed to sink its teeth into Scott. Scott screamed out in pain but managed to get away from the creatures grasp. Scott took off running and ran straight out on the road. Where he almost got hit by a passing car. Scott stood on the road, trying to understand what just uncured, he could feel the adrenaline pumping in his veins. He lifted up his shirt and saw the bite mark on his right side. He lowered his shirt, looked back into the woods but didn't see the creature that had attacked him. Scott looked along the road then started the long walk home. Another howl echoed in the woods.
Lexi was arriving near the preserve and to out her phone to call Scott so she could try to figure out where to pick him up. Lexi saw a person walking in her direction on the side of the road, as she got closer she saw that it was Scott. Lexi rolled down her window and called out for Scott to get in the car. Scott happy to saw Lexi, got in the car. Lexi send a quick text that she had found Scott to Stiles.
"You okay?" Lexi asked when she could get a closer look at him. He was covered in mud, and dirt, and drenched from the rain. Scott explained what had happened in the woods after she and Stiles had been escorted away by Stiles' dad. Lexi listened to what Scott was telling her and got worried when he told her about the bite on his side and that it was a big wolf that had attacked him. When they arrived at Scott's house Lexi followed Scott inside. Lexi told Scott to get out of the wet clothing while she got the first aid kit. Scott sat on his bed in only basketball shorts he usually sleep in, wiping his hair with a towel when Lexi walked in. Lexi to a look at the bite.
"You know you should tell your mom about this. So it can be looked after properly, you know get stitches and to make sure it doesn't get infected." Lexi said as she sat down next to Scott on the bed and started to look through the first aid kit for the things she would need to clean the wound.
"I don't want to worry her, and it doesn't look that bad, don't think I would need stitches," Scott said as Lexi carefully started to clean the wound and wipe away the blood.
"You are probably right. I'm just behaving like an overprotective mother hen." Lexi said making Scott grin. Lewi got Scott's wound cleaned up and covered with a clean gauze bandage. She cleaned up the trash and throw away any evidence that Scott had gotten hurt so Melissa wouldn't know. Scott got into bed, and Lexi left. On the way home, Lexi had trouble keeping her eyes open and focused on the road ahead. When Lexi got to her parent's house, she went directly to the couch and laid down not bothered to take off her shoes or jack. She was out as light as soon as she hit the couch.
The next morning Scott tells Stiles what happened and Stiles do not believe him on the whole wolf thing. Scott didn't care that Stiles did not believe him because he knows what ha saw. Scott's day started out normal but as the day went on it got weird when he started hearing things he shouldn't be able to hear. Though out the day Scott thoughts were on the new girl, Alison. And what had happened the night before forgotten.
Late morning Lexi got up and cursed the couch for being uncomfortable and messing with her back. She pulled out her working clothing from her bag and walk to the bathroom. The house was quite her parents had already left for work. She to a long warm shower, when the water went cold, Lexi got out of the shower. She wrapped herself in a towel and wiped the steam of the mirror. She looked in the mirror at her long raven hair that just reattached her waist and at her shifty eyes, one moment they could look blue and the next green. Lexi dried her hair the brushed out the bird's nest that was her hair. She got dressed and put her hair up in a high ponytail. When ready Lexi walked out to the kitchen, she saw a note to her on the kitchen counter.
Good morning sweetheart
Breakfast is in the fridge
Have a wonderful day at work
Love mom
Lexi smiled at the note in her hand. Her mom had made pancakes and put them in the fridge so the wouldn't go stale. Lexi reheated the pancakes on the stove. She sat down at the island in the kitchen to enjoy her breakfast. Her breakfast was short lived when she noticed the time.
"Shit."
She was going to be late for work if she didn't hurry. Lexi had decided that after graduated high school, she was taking a break from school and work for awhile. Maybe travel and see the world before she was going to start college. It would give her time do decide what she wanted to do in her life. She had gotten a job at a local supermarket, something Lexi though was better than work in a fast food restaurant which had been her other choice, to come home every day smelling of fat and frying oil was something she didn't like.
School ended, Scott and Stiles got ready for the lacrosse practice. Scott does amazingly for the first time ever on the field. After practice Stiles followed Scott to see if the could find his inhaler in the woods. As they walked through the woods they talked about lacrosse practice and Scott told Stiles about that he suddenly could hear and smell thing he normally couldn't. The whole conversation ended with Stiles joking that Scott had been bitten and turned into a werewolf, something Scott didn't think was funny and thought that something could be seriously wrong with him.
When they end up where Scott was last night when he dropped his inhaler, Scott started to look around but could not find his inhaler or see a trace of where the body was. Stiles suggest that the killer had moved the body. In Scotts searching for his inhaler, they come across not so friendly man that tells the boys to leave and throws Scott inhaler to him before dispersing in the woods. Stiles tells Scott that it was Derek Hale, a former resident of Beacon Hills and that his whole family had burned to death a few years ago.
After the walk in the woods Stiles went home and Scott took off to his job at the animal clinic. At the end of Scott's shift it's pouring outside, he texted Lexi if she could give him a ride home. She replied that she would be there as soon as she could. Scott finished up his assignments and went to clean and put a new gauze bandage on his side. Scott got surprised when he saw that the bite had healed completely, not even left a scar. Scotts train of thoughts got interrupted by knocking on the front door. First, he thought it's Lexi but got a little confused when he saw the new girl, Alison standing there. Alison distraught explains that she hit a dog, Scott tried to calm her do say it's going to be okay. They got the dog in the clinic and Scott took a look at the dog and declared she only had a broken front leg. Scott splinted the dog's leg, and he ensures Alison that the dog was going to be okay.
Scott followed Alison to her car as the rain had stopped, Scott took his chance and asked Alison to go to a party with him on Friday she said yes. As she drove off, Lexi arrived. She saw Scott standing in the parking lot with a goofy smile on his face and rolled down her window.
"Do you still need a ride or are you just going to stand there looking like a love-struck puppy?" Lexi asked Scott snapping him out of his thoughts.
"Yeah, I just need to look up," Scott said and walked back into the clinic. As Lexi was driving Scott home with his bike in the trunk, she couldn't help but tease Scott about his crush on Alison. Lexi feels like it's her duty to mess with Scott and Stiles on occasion. Needer Lexi, Stiles or Scott has any siblings, so Lexi was like their big sister and they were her baby brothers.
The next days came and went fast, and suddenly it was Friday. The morning and early afternoon had very slowly passed and finally Lexi was off work. She drove home, the mess at her apartment was finally cleared up and paint dried. She had changed from a sun bleach yellow to a warm white color. When Lexi got home, she changed from her working clothing into sweats and a two size too big shirt. She got her strawberry cheesecake ice cream from the freezer, sat down on her couch ruffled together under the blanket, turning herself into a burrito with only her head sticking out. She decided to catch up on her series on Netflix.
Lexi was rudely woken by someone call her. She untangles from her blanket and to her phone from coffee table. The screen flashes Stiles name. Lexi sigh turned off the tv.
"What can I do for you, Stiles?" Lexi answered trying to hold back a yawn.
"Lexi! I need you to go with me to a party and keep an eye on Scott." Stiles explained in a hurry. Lexi rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.
"Why do I need to keep an eye on Scott?" Lexi asked confused and too tired to care.
"You know that I joked about Scott being a werewolf. Not a joke anymore and tonight is the full moon." Stiles said.
"You want me to crash a high school party? To keep an eye on Scott because he might turn into a bloodthirsty werewolf?" Lexi asked just to make sure she was hearing her right.
"Yeah." Stiles answer.
When Stiles didn't get an answer from Lexi, he got impatient.
"Come on Lexi, this is Scott," Stiles whined.
"Yeah, it's Scott a little puppy that could not even hurt a fly and his is not some bloodthirsty monster Stiles," Lexi said.
"I'll owe you one," Stiles said in a quiet voice, admitting defeat.
"Fine. I'll go." Lexi said. Stiles raised his arms around in victory.
"Good, I'll pick you up in.. 10 minutes?" Stiles said.
"You are already on your way here, aren't you?" Lexi asked with a sigh.
"Yes, I am," Stiles said with a smile on his face.
Lexi sighs again and hangs up on Stiles. She gets up from the couch and drags her feet as she walks over to her closet. She stared at her clothing not knowing what she should wear. She has never crashed a high school party. She decided on a pair of black slimming jeans, a black tank top and a red and black pled shirt. Lexi usually didn't wear that much black. Something she didn't care for at the moment. She let her hair down and brushed through it. She put on her shoes, got her phone and keys. She walked out of the apartment complex to wait for Stiles. She didn't have to wait long for Stiles to show.
"You owe me big time for this," Lexi said annoyed as she got into the passage seat.
When Stiles and Lexi arrived, the party was in full swing. Stiles and Lexi split up to cover more ground and see if they could find Scott or Alison. First thing on Lexi's mind was if she had to be here she was going to need a drink, a big drink. Lexi tried to keep a low profile as she walked through the house to the kitchen, trying not to be recognized. She got herself a drink and went outside where people were dancing near the pool.
Guess am not the only one crashing this party, Lexi though when she noticed someone she recognized from a long time ago standing on the other side of the pool from where she stood. Derek felt that someone was watching him, he looked out in the crowd at who it was and made eye contact with Lexi. As soon as Lexi notice that Derek was looking back at her, she broke eye contact and looked on the ground, she felt embarrassed, that she was caught staring at him. Lexi took a big mouthful of her drink, trying to shake the feeling of embarrassment. She gave a quick look in Derek's direction again and his gone. Lexi looked around the crowd to see if she can see him, but she found Scott dancing with Alison. See he is completely fine Lexi thought but spoke too soon. Scott had started to feel the shift, began to leave Alison. Scott took off through the house and got into his mother's car and drove away, leaving a confused Alison behind.
Stiles and Lexi got into the jeep and drove in the direction that Scott had been heading in. They drove to Scott's house and saw the car in the driveway. Stiles parked the jeep on the side of the road in front of the house and ran inside. Lexi got out of the jeep and walked up the porch steps and into the house. Stiles was speaking to Scott on the second floor as she entered the house, but she couldn't make out what Scott was replying. Lexi was standing in the hallway when she heard a door slammed upstairs. Out of the corner of the eyes, she noticed movement. She turned and looked out of one of the windows in the living room. She saw what's looks like Scott running shirtless into the woods.
"Stiles!" Lexi screamed. Stiles came running down the stairs, almost falling on the way.
"Yeah." Stiles answer little out of breath when he was down the stairs and standing next to Lexi.
"Was that Scott running into the woods shirtless?" Lexi asked now looking at Stiles. Stiles just nodded, trying to keep his breathing under control.
"Well, where is he going?"
Lexi and Stiles were sitting in the jeep heading to Alison's house. Stiles told Lexi what Scott had said about Derek. That he was the killer, that he was a werewolf and that he was the one who bit Scott in the woods. They arrive at Alison's house, and Stiles hurried to the front door with Lexi not far behind. Stiles rings the doorbell twice, and he is just about to knock when Lexi grabs his arm and stopping him. As the door opened, Lexi lets go of Stiles' arm.
"Hi, Mrs. Argent. You have no idea whom I am, am a friend of you daughter.." Stiles rambling.
"This is going to sound kinda crazy.." Stiles continue, and Lexi looked at him with big eyes. He was not going to say what she thought he was going to say.
"Really crazy actually. You know craziest..." Stiles continued but got interrupted by Alison's mom.
"Alison! It's for you." Mrs. Argent called out for Alison. Lexi and Stiles saw Alison on the second floor looking down at them from the staircase. Alison was a lot confused by why Stiles was here and whoever the girl was. Stiles was not sure what to say now.
"See I told you she was fine," Lexi said looking at Stiles then turn back to Alison.
"We were just going to see that you got home safe, Scott wanted to make sure, and he is really sorry that he had to leave the way he did, but he promises to make it up to him if you let him," Lexi said with a forced smile, but it looked natural. Stiles looked at Lexi with amazement.
"Sorry for the interruption. Have a pleasant evening." Lexi spoke to Alison's mom. With that said she turned to leave and Stiles followed without saying a word. They got into the jeep and Stiles drove way.
"Scott is going to owe me for that,"
Stiles and Lexi drove around looking for Scott rest of the night and till the sun got up.
"You know we are not going to find him," Lexi stated as she was trying not to yawn and closed her and rested her head on the passenger side window.
Stiles kept his eyes on the road and started to slow down when he saw Scott walking in front of them. Stiles came to a stop next to Scott. Lexi climbed into the back seat so Scott can get in. Stiles handed Scott his suit jacket, and they took off home.
"You know what actually worry me the most," Scott said but got interrupted by Stiles.
"If you say, Alison, I'm going to punch you in the head," Stiles stated.
"She probably hates me right now," Scott said ignoring Stiles statement.
"I wouldn't say she hates you. You did, after all, send your best friends to make sure she got home alright." Lexi said Scott turned to look at her confused. Not knowing what she had meant.
"When we went to check if Alison had gotten home, or like Stiles planned to do and tell her parents that she had been taken by a werewolf. I told her you sent us to make sure she was okay. I told her you were sorry and that you would make it up to her if she let you." Lexi explained to Scott. Scott couldn't help but smile little.
"But you might what to come up with a pretty amazing apology or you know you can just tell her the truth and rebellion in the fact that you are a freaking werewolf," Stiles said to Scott and he gave Stiles an annoyed look.
"Okay, bad idea," Stiles said as he started to think about it.
"Hey, we'll get through this, come on. If I and Lexi have to, we'll chain you up ourselves on the full moon nights and feed you live mice. I had a boa once. I can do it." Stiles said. Scott gave Stiles an 'are you crazy' look and laugh a little. Stiles smiles knowing he made his friend feel a little better.
"Just a small side note, you know to next time you decide to wolf out, make sure you at least have a shirt on. It will draw less attention to you, you know." Lexi said with a smile.
