Claudia ran though the woods as fast as she could. It was dark and hard for her to see, but she kept running. If she stopped, she'd die. She panted as she pushed herself to keep running.

Something was chasing her. It looked like a boy her age, except he had gold eyes, fangs, claws, and fur on his face. Claudia had no idea what he was, just that he wasn't human and was going to eat her if he caught up with her.

Suddenly, another joined in the hunt. This one had blue eyes and he also had fangs and claws, as well as a hairy like like the other monster. They chased after the girl until she was backed up against a tree. They growled at her and Claudia started to cry a little.

"Enough."

The two backed off as some guy stepped before Claudia.

"Chad?"

Chad was her boyfriend. He was a handsome fellow, with dark hair, beautiful blue eyes, tall, and muscular. But he didn't look like himself. He had red eyes and like the other two, his face was covered with fur, and he had sharp claws and fangs.

"Chad, what's going on?" asked Claudia. "What's wrong with your face?"

"Nothing's wrong with me," said Chad, smirking. "What's wrong with you? Cheating on me, and with Steve of all people."

"What? I never cheated on you!"

"Lair. I can hear your heart beat. Such a shame. I thought you'd make a wonderful Alpha Female, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. Okay boys, have at it."

The monsters charged at Claudia and she screamed.

"No more! Just stop!"

Stiles stopped reading from his notebook. "But I was just getting to the good part."

For a few years now, Stiles has been volunteering at the hospital, helping with taking care of cancer patients. He's do different things for them; get them food and water, play game, read to them, just talk, and other stuff.

He was sitting in a chair between two beds, reading a horror story he wrote, but one of the patients, a twelve year old girl named Molly, who had no hair do to chemo and tubes in her nose to help her breath, begged him to stop. She didn't like those kinds of stories.

"That story was horrible!" said Molly.

"What are you talking about? That story was awesome!" The other patient in the other bed was a boy named Jake. He was fortunate to still have his hair, but his body was covered with bruises. He liked the story and wanted Stiles to keep going.

"Sorry, Jake," said Stiles. "I can finish the story when it's just you and me. I don't wanna upset Molly." She turned to the girl and smiled. "How about another story I wrote? This one has fairies and unicorns, and a princess in it."

Molly smiled. "That sound great!"

Jake groaned and pulled his pillow to cover his face.

"Once upon a time," began Stiles.


Stiles loved volunteering at the hospital. It felt good to help people. His whole life he did everything he could to help others that needed his help. He got to knew some great people who deserved to beat their cancer and have a life.

That's why he and some other volunteers set up a benefit concert to raise money for the patients.

"This is a really good thing you kids are going," said Jane, one of the nurses.

"It's our pleasure," said Stiles, grinning. He, Scott, and two other boy who volunteered with Stiles at the hospital, Tim and Kenny, set up their instruments, getting ready to perform.

Stiles and Scott were always into music. Scott took guitar lessons when he was a kid and Stiles knew how to play the drums since he was three. Aside from Tim and Kenny, no one else could play, so Stiles asked Scott to perform with them. Stiles was going to play the drums, Scott was going to be lead guitar and sing, Tim would also play guitar, and Kenny would play bass.

While Allison was wishing Scott good luck, May, another volunteer, was wishing Stiles good luck. May had a big crush on Stiles, but couldn't work up the courage to tell him. Stiles felt the same about her. May was very pretty. She had long, blond hair with red highlights, light brown eyes, and a skinny frame. And she was very nice. She always smiles and never has anything bad to say.

"Good luck," said May. "You're gonna rock their worlds."

"Thanks," smiled Stiles. "I needed to hear that. I'm nervous as hell."

"Don't be. I've hear you play. You're a great drummer."

Stiles beamed.

The boys took their places on stage.

"This first song we're going to play is In Too Deep by Sum 41," said Scott.

The faster we're falling,
We're stopping and stalling.
We're running in circles again.
Just as things we're looking up
You said it wasn't good enough.
But still we're trying one more time.

Maybe we're just trying too hard.
When really it's closer than it is too far.

'Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
'Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
Instead of going under.

Seems like each time
I'm with you I lose my mind,
Because I'm bending over backwards to relate.
It's one thing to complain
But when you're driving me insane
Well then I think it's time that we took a break.

Maybe we're just trying too hard.
When really it's closer than it is too far

'Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
'Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
Instead of going under.
Instead of going under.
Instead of going under.

I can't sit back and wonder why.
It took so long for this to die.
And I hate it, when you fake it.
You can't hide it you might as well embrace it.
So believe me, it's not easy.
It seems that something's telling me,

I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
'Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
Instead of going under.
Instead of going under again.
Instead of going under.
Instead of going under again.
Instead of going under again.
Instead of going under again.

Everyone in the audience clapped and cheered.

"Thank you," said Stiles.

Their next song was Vacation by Simple Plan.

I know a girl who's obsessed with a guy
She talks for hours, and still tomorrow
She'll call again, and when he thinks that this could be the end,
She calls again
At six in the morning, she waits at the door
He tells her to leave but still tomorrow she'll be there again
She wont let go

Can't you just go somewhere on vacation?
I could book your flight
And pack your bags
If you want
A one way ticket out of my life
Watching you fly away
I never liked you

She dosen't care if he trys to ignore
He runs away but still she follows
She'll try again
She likes to think shell get him in the end
Yeah!

Can't you just go somewhere on vacation?
I could book your flight
And pack your bags
If you want
A one way ticket out of my life
Watching you fly away
I never liked you
I never wanted you
I never liked you
I never wanted you, whoa

Can't you just go somewhere on vacation?
I could book your flight And pack your bags
If you want
A one way ticket out of my life
Watching you fly away
I never liked you
I never wanted you
I never liked you
I'm not in love with you

They continued to play until their last song, which was Absolutely (Story Of A Girl) by Nine Days.

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

Now how many days in a year
She woke up with hope
But she only found tears
And I can be so insincere
Making her promises never for real
As long as she stands there waiting
Wearing the holes in the soles of her shoes
Now how many days disappear
When you look in the mirror
So how do you choose

Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

Now how many lovers would stay
Just to put up with this shit day after day
Now how did we wind up this way
Watching our mouths for the words that we say
As long as we stand here waiting
Wearing the clothes or the soles that we choose
Now how do we get there today
When we're walking too far for the price of our shoes

Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
But you never seem to run out of things to say

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

[Guitar solo]

Well your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her

This is the story of a girl
Whose pretty face she hid from the world
And while she looks so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles
When she smiles!

Once it was over and the boys were off stage, May gave Stiles a peck on the cheek, causing Stiles to blush.

"May, I, uh, I was wondering if maybe you'd, I don't know, wanna go out with me?"

May smiled. "I thought you'd never ask."


I wanted to write a story where Stiles plays the drums because Dylan O'Brien, who plays Stiles, is the drummer for the independent rock band Slow Kids at Play and I just got the idea to have Stiles play the drums.

Hope you liked it.
