Beacon Hills was an unusual town and that wasn't just because of the unusual people who walked about the streets there was something much more secret living in this town. There was one family that was a very strange family indeed they had lived there for years and most suspected that the family had secrets because of the way the older family members seemed to act and how they carried themselves. The children on the other hand were another story there were five children Laura, Derek, Cora, Scott and Stiles. The two youngest Scott and Stiles were almost attached at the hip and were the closest out of all of them. They were quiet for their age which was very different from their loud and energetic older siblings. Scott and Stiles were always a little smaller than the rest of their family though it didn't diminish their strength or power.

The Hales were a mystery to the town, a riddle that could never really be answered by anyone and if they knew the true story and knew what some of the family were then they would be even more confused. The night of the Hale fire was a disturbing night it was such a tragedy that a big family like the Hales were gone. There were only two survivors that the town knew of and that was Derek and Laura Hale. Most of the family were dead no one had any hope of any other of the members of the family being alive at all.
