Scott McCall was in his room fixing the net on his lacrosse stick. Tryouts were tomorrow and he wanted to be prepared. Once his stick was fixed he started to work out a little bit. Going into his bathroom he began to brush his teeth. He froze when he heard a noise coming from outside. Throwing on some clothes and grabbing his bat he went out to investigate. Walking slowly he saw nothing out of the ordinary but he was suddenly startled when something fell from the roof.
He let out a scream and so did the thing that fell. He stopped when he realised what it was.
"Stiles what the hell are doing?", Scott shouted.
"You weren't answering your phone" he answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Why do you have a bat?"
Scott looked at the bat, remembering that he, in fact, was holding one, "I thought you were a predator! I could have taken your head off."
"A Pre- what are you.." Stiles shook his head, " Look I know it late but you have got to hear this, Saw my dad leave like twenty minutes ago dispatch called, their bringing in everybody from the beacon department and even state police." He finished excitedly.
"For what?" Scott asked exhausted
Stiles smiled, " Two joggers found a body in the woods." He fell down from his hanging position.
"A dead body!" Asked Scott, interested.
"No a body of water" replied Stiles sarcastically, " Yes dumbass a dead body."
As he was climbing up Scott asked "You mean like murder?"
"Nobody knows yet only that it was a girl probably, probably in her twenties".
"Hold on, if they have the body then what are they looking for?" Scott was really confused.
"That's the best part" Stiles was trying to keep his excitement in check. "They only found half!", smacking his lips and looking at Scott "We're going."
"Going where?" Came a voice from behind.
Both Stiles and Scott screamed and Scott swung his bat around.
"Holy-" shouted they voice as it jumped out of range from Scott's death swing.
"My god Scott, are you trying to take my head off?" Said the amused voice of Tyler Stilinski.
"Tyler?" Came Stiles' voice, "What are you doing here ?"
" I followed you, isn't it obvious?" Tyler replied smiling. "Now what is this about going to find a body? Because I totally want in."
Scott and Stiles looked at each other before smiling.
Soon Stiles' jeep pulled up outside the Beacon Hills Preserve. All three hopped out quickly. With Stiles and Tyler turning on their flashlights.
"Stiles are we seriously doing this?" Asked Scott.
"You're the one that's always bitching that nothing ever happens in this town." Replied Stiles.
"He's right Scott," Said Tyler falling in line with them. "Besides this is awesome, we haven't done anything this illegal since that time when we broke into that-"
"Okay! Don't remind me about that, Dad absolutely crucified us!" Cut Stiles, shivering.
Tyler held his hands up "Okay!, besides it wasn't even that bad we only were grounded for a couple of months."
Scott signed," I was trying to get a good night sleep before practise tomorrow".
"Sorry Scott but adventure calls", Tyler said in a dreamy voice, "and we can't escape its hypnotising-"
"Shut up Tyler," Stiles said cracking a smile. "Anyway Scott it's not like your going to miss anything because it not like sitting on the bench is such a gruelling effort" He finished sarcastically.
"No, because I'm playing this year, in fact I'm making first line" Scott was absolutely dead set on being first line. He hated being the one that was always on the bench.
"Hey, that's the spirit everybody should have a dream even if it's a pathetically, unrealistic one."
"Don't be stupid stiles", piped up Tyler, " it's not a pathetic dream" When Scott was about to thank him he continued, " it's just a really stupid one."
Scott glared at the both of them. "Just because you get to play Tyler."
Tyler saw the look on Scott's face, " Aw come one Scott I was only joking, if you want to play first line you can, you just have to play the best you got," but your asthma might get in the way, he wanted to add but didn't want to make Scott feel any worse.
"Just out of curiosity," Scott asked, "What part of the body are we looking for?"
"Huh," Stiles breathed out, " I didn't even think about that."
Scott rolled his eyes, " And what if whoever killed the girl is still out here?"
Tyler smiled," Aw is Scotty wotty scared of a big bad monster out in the woods?"
" Shut it Tyler," Grinning at Tyler, he pushed him to the side playfully.
Stiles spoke up, " I didn't think about that either."
"Great to know that you thought about this with your usual level of detail." Scott said, a little annoyed.
They started to climb up a small slope when Scott was finding it hard to breath, "Shouldn't they severe asthmatic be the one holding the flashlight?" Scott wheezed out, taking out his inhaler.
Tyler pulled back and handed him his flashlight, "Here you go buddy."
When they reached the top they dived down once they saw a group of flashlights and search dogs.
"I don't know about you two," Tyler whispered, "but I would really like to move position because they are heading this way."
"Come on," Stiles whispered before he got up and ran into the dark. Tyler and Scott looked at each other and rolled their eyes before getting up and chasing after him. Scott was struggling to keep up and Tyler didn't want to go ahead without Scott so he slowed down. Once Stiles realised that his brother and best friend wasn't behind him he stopped but let out a yell and fell down when a flashlight and a barking dog seemed to materialised out of nowhere.
"Freeze! Stay right there!" Tyler pulled Scott behind a tree. They did not need to be caught or they were so screwed.
"Hand on, hang on," came a voice they both recognise, it did not sound happy. "This little delinquent belongs to me."
Stiles looked up, "Dad how are you doing?"
Sheriff Stilinski sighed, "So do you listen in on all of my calls?"
"What? No of course not," Stiles said shaking his head but when he saw his dads disbelieving look he looked down, "Well not the boring ones."
His dad nodded his head a little bit, his eyes scanning the forest, "And where is your usual partners in crime?"
"Who Scott and Tyler? Pfft, Scotts at home something about getting early night sleep for lacrosse practise tomorrow and Tyler at home, he wouldn't come out at this time of night. It's just me out in the woods, at night, alone. " Stiles hoped his dad would believe his lie.
"Tyler would come out at this time of night, he's just as bad as you," shining his flashlight the Sheriff shouted, "Scott! Tyler! Are you out there?" Both Tyler and Scott hid behind the tree praying they wouldn't be caught. The Sheriff sighed, "Well young man, I am going to walk you back to your car and we're going to have a little talk about something called invasion of privacy."
Tyler and Scott looked at each other, Stiles was their lift home, now they were going to have to walk. "Come on," Tyler whispered, " We better get a move on."
The both of them began to head in the direction they came from, it was pretty dark since Scott didn't want to turn on his flashlight just in case one of the police officers seen. They walked for a few minutes before Scott stopped to use his inhaler. Tyler looked ahead, he didn't feel right, he felt as if he was being watched. Looking back at Scott. "Come on w-" he was cut of when a group of deers came running out, startled Tyler grabbed Scott and pulled him to the ground. The deer jumped over them and ran around them but one managed to kick Scott's inhaler away into the dark.
"Dammit" Swore Scott.
"What's wrong?" Tyler asked, " Did one of the deers hit you?"
Scott sighed and turned on the flashlight, "No but one knocked my inhaler away."
The two of them began to look around but couldn't find anything. Tyler was using his phone when Scott let out a scream and fell down a hill. He let out a laugh.
"Ha ha, Scott are you okay? What scared you?" Looking down he saw what, " Oh, that is awesome." They half body of the girl was in front of him. "Stiles is going to be pissed he missed this." He took another look at it before climbing down towards Scott.
"Hey buddy, you alright? You need to watch your step."
Scott stared at him, "Just help me up already."
Once Scott was up they were about to walk off when Tyler heard a growl.
"Wait a sec," he grabbed Scott's arm, "You hear that?" They both turned around to see a wolf like creature staring at them, only this wolf had red eyes.
"Well, that looks friendly." Tyler whispered before it lunged at them. It knocked Tyler to the side and jumped onto Scott. Scott let out a pained scream when the creature bit into him.
"Scott!" Tyler got up and picked up a sturdy branch, he wasn't going to let his friend die. Letting out a roar he charged at the creature and smashed the branch over its head. Tyler looked down to see the branch had broke in half and looked back up to see red eyes staring at him. "Oh damn, I fucked up didn't I?" He dived to the side when the creature lunged at him. It moved at impossible speeds and before Tyler knew it it was on top of him. It went to tear into his throat but Tyler threw his arm up to protect himself causing the creature to bite into his arm.
"Aaarrrrggghh!" Tyler screamed, the creature threw him of to the side beside Scott where they both looked at one another before they broke into a run. Pulling each other along they came upon a road when a car was speeding past. Tyler grabbed Scott and pulled him back as the car sped past. Tyler hissed looking down at his arm that was steadily bleeding. They both looked back into the forest when the heard a loud howl.
What the hell just happened?
The next day at school Scott was cycling into the parking lot, getting of he put his bike into the bike rack. Just then a silver Porsche pulled up beside him. When the door opened hit Scott causing him to turn around to meet the biggest douchebag in the world Jackson Whittemore.
"Dude, watch the paint job," Jackson said it as if it was Scott's fault. He continued to look at Scott before one of his friends called him over. Scott looked over and saw Stiles and Tyler. Neither of them looked like each other, but that was because Tyler was adopted after the Sheriff found him abandoned outside the Sheriffs station and since then he was raised as a Stilinski.
"Okay let's see this thing," Stiles said eagerly, "I saw Tyler's this morning and it was awe-some." He sung the last part. Tyler smiled, his brother was such a weirdo but that's what made him Stiles. When Scott pulled up his top to show him Stiles reached to touch it before Tyler slapped his hand away.
"It was too dark to see much,". Scott started, "But I'm pretty sure it was a wolf."
"A wolf bit you? You see that's what Tyler said but it can't be a wolf, not a chance." Stiles shook his head.
Tyler spoke up, "Well, we heard a wolf howling."
"Uh no, you didn't."
Scott let out a small laugh, "How do you know what we heard?"
Stiles laughed, "Because California doesn't have wolves."
Tyler sighed, "Look I know that there hasn't been any wolves in California for like sixty years but I'm telling you it was a wolf!"
Scott was surprised, not a wolf in sixty years? Then what was the animal that bit them? "Really?"
Stiles was getting annoyed, "Yes Scott really! There are no wolves in California!"
Scott rolled his eyes, "Well if you're not going to believe me about the wolf then you definitely won't believe us when we tell you that we found the body."
Stiles did a double take, "Really?"
"Yes really I am going to nightmares for a month." Scott replied shivering.
Stiles looked at Tyler "why didn't you tell me?"
Tyler looked at him before replying, "Oh I don't, Maybe because I was more worried about fixing my arm up because a flipping wolf nearly killed both me and Scott, I am sorry that the dead body wasn't at the top of the priority list!"
Stiles rolled his eyes, "Anyway getting onto more important matters" he spared a look at Tyler, "This is seriously the greatest thing that's happened to this town since the birth of Lydia Martin." Just then said girl was walking past. "Hey Lydia! You look like...you're going to ignore me." Stiles sighed.
" I don't get why your still fawning over her since she never even looks at you." Tyler said looking at the most popular girl in school. "Why do you even like her anyway?"
Stiles stared at him incredulously, was he serious? "Maybe because she is the most perfect girl ever!"
Tyler wrinkled his nose, "I don't see the appeal, maybe because she is not my type."
Stiles looked ready to slap Tyler across the face, "She is everyone's type!" He looked over to Scott to see him smiling in amusement at the two of them. "This is your fault you know, dragging me down to your nerd depths. I'm a nerd by association, Scarlett-nerded by you.
Scott smiled. This was going to be a good day.
"As you all know there was indeed a body found in the woods last night." Started the voice of their teacher. Scott, Stiles and Tyler looked at one another, smiling. The teacher continued, "And I am sure your eager little minds are coming up with various scenarios as to what happened but I am here to tell you that the police already of a suspect." That statement cause the three friends to look at one another confused, suspect? Who was that?
"So that means that you can give your undivided attention to syllabus which is on your desk." That made all the student let out groans with Tyler's being the loudest causing Scott and Stiles to smile. Both Scott and Tyler flinched when they heard a phone ringing. They both looked around to see where it was coming from but no one was reacting. It was like the didn't hear it. They both looked out the window when they heard a girl answering the phone. Outside there was a girl with a phone to her ear and she was talking to her mom about forgetting a pen when the principal walked up to her. They continued to listen to their conversation even though they couldn't see them anymore. Tyler was also hearing a very fast beating drum, where was it coming from? The class looked up when the door opened and in came the principal and a good looking girl. Tyler could see Scott looking at her with admiration, he smirked.
"Class this is our new student Allison Argent, please make it your best interest to make her feel welcome." Allison was standing awkwardly, hearing standing in front of the class. She quickly took a seat behind Scott. Scott reached for a pen and turned to give it to her. Tyler narrowed his eyes, did he hear her conversation as well?
Allison looked up to see the pen in front of her and smiled, "Thanks."
Scott turned around with a goofy smile on his face. Tyler coughed,"Whipped, cough." Scott glared at him but Tyler just smiled looking like he didn't say a single thing.
Soon enough class ended and the three friends crowded around their lockers. Scott was looking over at Allison smiling when she smiled at him. Suddenly Lydia Martin came over to her and started to talk to her about her jacket. A girl walked up to Stiles and Tyler and asked, "How come the new girl has been here for five seconds and is already hanging out with Lydia?"
Stiles replied with, "Because she's hot, beautiful people herd together."
Tyler let out a snort, "That is the most untrue thing I have heard ever."
"How is that not true?"
Tyler pointed over towards Lydia smiling at Stiles and said, "Lydia is not that good looking."
Stiles was angry, "How dare you-" Scott tuned out their little argument he was focused on Allison talking to Lydia about the party on Friday night and how she wasn't able to go when Jackson suggested that she watch the lacrosse practise. Before Allison could protest Lydia grabbed her hand and pulled her along. Now Scott would really have to make first line to impress Allison.
Scott, Stiles and Tyler quickly went to the locker room and got changed into their lacrosse gear before heading out onto the field.
"But if you play who am I going to talk to on the bench? Are you really going to do that to your best friend?"
Tyler spoke up, "Stiles if Scott wants to play he can play, I mean how else is he going to impress Allison."
Scott ignored him looking up to see Allison in the stands sitting with Lydia Martin. "I can't sit out anymore Stiles!" He said defiantly, "My whole life is sitting on the sidelines! This season I'm making first line."
Stiles understood that Scott wanted to make first line. Sure he would like to play too it would be his way to impress Lydia it his friend was a bit obsessed with playing. It's not like Allison wouldn't like him if he didn't play for the team.
"McCall!" Came coach Finnstocks voice.
"Yes?" Scott asked surprised. Tyler and Stiles looked at each other.
"You're in goal." He said throwing the goalie stick at him, causing him to drop his stuff.
Scott was stunned, goal? "But I've never played."
Coach smiled, "I know, scoring the boys some shots will give them a confidence boost. First day back it will get them energised." Tyler was very happy, this was Scott's chance to play. He continued to listen in.
"But what about me?" Scott asked.
Coach grinned, "Try not to take any to face." He then walked off towards the other players. Tyler slapped Scott on his shoulder getting his attention.
"Dude, this is great you get to play and impress Allison." He finished wiggling his eyebrows.
Scott was not happy, " How am I supposed to impress Allison in goals?"
Tyler pushed him toward the net, "You know stopping people from scoring, simple really it's going to be no problem."Just then someone called their names, they turned to see coach looking at them.
"Get your asses into positions. Now!"
Scott quickly got into goals while Tyler got into the line that was to try and score. Scott turned his head toward Allison when he heard her speak.
"Who is that?" She asked Lydia.
"Who him?" She replied looking at Scott, "I'm not sure who he is, why?"
Allison shook her head, "He's in my English class." Scott was the happiest he's ever been, she's asking about him? What Scott didn't know was that Tyler heard it as well but he was thinking something entirely different, how can I hear their conversation when I'm this far away? Something wasn't right with him but his train of thought was cut short when a whistle blew making his head erupt in pain. The same thing happened with Scott causing him to hold his head. He didn't see the lacrosse ball flying toward his face. The impact made Scott fall backward causing everybody to laugh at him. Stiles winced from the bench, talk about embarrassing.
Tyler cringed. Scott shook his head before he got up and got into position, he wasn't going to let that happen again. Once the next player took his shot Scott saved it much to the surprise to everyone there. Coaches draw dropped while Tyler shouted, "Now that's what I'm talking about!" From there on in every player took a shot at Scott but he saved every single one. As the practise went on more and more people cheered Scott on. Though it all stopped when Jackson pushed his way to the front. When Scott saw him his eyes widened.
"Oh god," he whispered. Jackson took of running kicking up dirt as he went and jumped into the air launching the ball toward Scott. Everyone broke into cheers even Lydia Martin when Scott caught it in his net. The loudest though were Stiles and Tyler who were screaming praise to their best friend.
"Stilinski!" Coach shouted at Tyler, "Your up, hopefully your just as a good as last year and score were all your team mates couldn't" Tyler nodded and got into position. He took off at a very fast speed and got ready to shoot the ball when everything slowed downed and his eyesight seemed to zoom in on the top right corner of the net. His hands dropped to the bottom of his stick as he shot. The crowd erupted into cheers as the ball sailed right past Scott's attempt to block it. Everybody was cheering, everyone except Jackson. He narrowed his eyes at Scott and Tyler. His gaze was one of suspicion.
The trio soon found themselves back in the woods after lacrosse practice. The reason they were there was because Stiles had to come and see the body. While Tyler agreed because he wanted to see it in broad daylight Scott only came along because he lost his inhaler that night and he wanted to get it back. Right now they were talking about Scott saving all of the shots and Tyler's incredible goal.
"I don't know what it was, it was like I had all the time in the world to catch the ball." Scott was really looking to know how he did so well in lacrosse practice.
Tyler spoke up, "Yeah me too, everything was like, super clear and I just knew how to shoot the ball and what way to hold the stick and all that stuff."
"And it's not the only weird thing I can hear people's conversation even though they are pretty far away."
Tyler looked at Scott surprised, "Same, even though I was on the other side of the field I could hear Lydia's and Allison's conversation."
Scott stopped, "You heard that?"
Tyler smiled at him, "Oh yeah, Allison's asking about you? She totally wants to date you."
Scott blushed but continued speaking, "And I can smell things I shouldn't be able to smell."
"Smell things?" Stiles asked, not believing him.
"Yeah, like the mint flavoured gum in your pocket." Tyler pointed out.
Stiles reached into his pocket, "I don't have any-" He stopped when he pulled out the gum. "So this all started with a bite?" He asked.
Scott was getting worried, "What if it's like an infection, like our bodies our flooding with adrenaline before going into shock." He asked anxiously.
Stiles decided to play a little joke, "You know, I actually think I have heard of this before. It's a specific kind of infection."
Scott looked at him with a dreaded look on his face, " You serious?"
Tyler saw what Stiles was trying to do and decided to play along, putting on a scared face he said, "You don't mean what I think you mean do you?"
Scott saw the look on Tyler's face and was getting more worried by the second, "What, what is it?"
Stiles looked at Tyler and seeing that he was playing along said, "I think it's called lycanthropy."
Scott did not like the sound of that, "What is that? Is that bad?"
Tyler tried to hide his smile,"Oh yeah Scott its it's the worst, it's very rare and extremely deadly to other people."
Before he could say more Stiles piped up, "But only once a month...On the night of the full moon." Both Stiles and Tyler light out howls. Tyler decided he liked to howl.
Scott shoved the two of them, "Guys this could be serious!"
Tyler grinned, "We did hear a wolf howl."
Scott wasn't amused, "There could be something seriously wrong with us."
Stiles laughed, "I know my best friend and my brother are werewolves, awesome!" He let out a growl but when he saw Scott's face he sighed, "Okay obviously we're joking but if you see me in shop class melting down all the silver it's because Friday is a full moon.
They stopped when Scott spoke up, "I could swear this was it the deer came running and I dropped my inhaler."
Tyler crouched down, "Maybe it's just buried in the leaves?" He suggested, "Perhaps the deer trampled it into the ground?"
"Maybe the killer moved the body?" Stiles suggested his idea.
Scott crouched down beside Tyler, "I hope he left my inhaler those things are like eighty bucks."
Tyler stared at him, "Stiles just suggested that the killer moved the body which means he could be close by and your worried if he took your inhaler? Such a weirdo." He whispered at the end.
Both looked up when Stiles tapped their shoulders to show them that there was a man standing in front of them. How did none of them hear him coming?
"What are doing here? The man asked clearly annoyed. Both Stiles and Scott took a step behind Tyler since he was the most intimidating looking one of the three of them. Their actions caused Tyler to roll his eyes.
"Huh", the man continued, " this is private property." Tyler seriously doubted that since this was the preserve and the only house out here was the hale house. This couldn't be the mans property unless...Tyler's eyes widened a tiny bit once he realised who the man was.
Stiles spoke up clearly awkward from the situation, "Sorry man we didn't know."
Scoot decided to help Stiles out, "Yeah we were just looking for something...never mind it doesn't matter."
The man who Tyler believed was called Derek threw something at Scott who caught it effortlessly, it was his inhaler. Derek then turned and walked off.
"Alright, I need to get to work." Scott said once Derek was out of sight but was stopped by Stiles.
"Dude that was Derek Hale, he's only like a few years older than us?" He said trying to jog Scott's memory.
Tyler looked at Stiles, so he figured it out too? He wasn't surprised. When he saw that Scott had no idea who it was he added something into their conversation, "Remember Scott his family all burned to death in a fire like ten years ago."
Scott looked in the direction Derek left surprised, "Wonder what he's doing back?"
"Probably killed that girl, the dude was certainly giving off that creepy killer vibe, he also looks strong enough to lift a body what do you-" he stopped when he saw Scott and Stiles giving him weird looks.
Scott looked at his two friends, "How do you guys even know this stuff?"
Tyler and Stiles both stared at him as if he was stupid and replied at the same time, "How do you not know this stuff!?"
When Stiles and Tyler got home, Stiles request that Tyler got the bandage on his arm replaced since it was probably dirty. Going into the bathroom Stiles grabbed the first aid kit and walked back into his room to see Tyler on his bed.
"It doesn't even feel sore." Tyler said to Stiles as he walked in.
"That doesn't matter because it will be sore once it gets infected." Before Tyler could reply he heard the phone ring from downstairs. He heard his dad answer it and decided to listen in.
"Sheriff?" Came the voice of a deputy Stiles knew from the station, Karen.
"Yes Karen? What's wrong?"
"Nothing sir, it's just we finished questioning the suspect." Tyler's eyes widened, this was the suspect his teacher was talking about.
"Derek Hale?" Tyler did a double take, causing Stiles to look at him confused.
"Yes sir, he said he was out of town when the body turned up. Do you wish for us to keep him in custody?"
Tyler heard his dad sigh, "No it's okay you let him go." He heard his dad hang up and heard his footsteps heading toward the room. Tyler began to panic, he couldn't let his dad see his arm or he was dead. He grabbed the first aid kit out from stiles hand and threw it under the blankets.
"Hey, what did you do that for?" Stiles asked surprised. Just then the door opened.
"Okay so what do you guys want to eat for-" The Sheriff stopped when he saw the two boys. He sighed, "Okay what happened?"
Stiles opened his mouth, "What? Pfft nothing happened, nothing going on here, nothing at all." He waved his hand care free way. Tyler tried hard not to cringe at Stiles attempt at lying.
"Oh yeah?, then what's wrong with Tyler's arm?" The Sheriff said looking at the bandage on Tyler's arm. He forgot to pull the sleeve down over it.
"Nothing, nothing's wrong," Stiles quickly. Tyler looked at him incredulously, did he think he could pull them out of this one?
Their dad just walked over to Tyler and began to peel the bandage off. Tyler closed his eyes preparing for his death which was about to occur.
"Why did you put a bandage on over nothing?" What? Tyler's eyes shot open to look at his arm where there was nothing, it was perfectly fine.
"See?" Stiles released a shaky breath, "Nothing there."
Stiles and Tyler looked over at each other. How was there nothing?
