When I woke up this morning I got a text from Stiles telling me he is on his way to pick me up for something important. I tried thinking back to see if we had any plans but nothing came up. So why does he need to see me so bad?
I quickly started getting ready because I knew that once Stiles got here he wouldn't want to wait on me to finish getting 'dolled' up. Stiles is very impatient.
I pulled my hair up in a quick ponytail and pulled on a pair of jeans with a long sleeve purple shirt. I was putting on my shoes when I heard a honk come from outside my window and I grabbed my phone and quickly ran downstairs and to Stiles' Jeep.
I look over at Stiles as he drives and he looks awful, like he has been up all night. "Stiles are you alright?" I ask worriedly.
Stiles nods running a hand over his face, "Yeah, yeah I'm fine just sleep deprivation," he shrugs as if it's nothing.
The ride to Stiles' house was about a fifteen-minute ride and as we were walking into his house Sherriff Stilinski was just leaving, "Oh hello Elena," he greets warmly.
I give him a warm smile back and say quick hello before Stiles drags me up the stairs and into his bed room where he closes the door.
"So what is so important?" I ask Stiles looking around his messy room. Stiles' room is always messy but today it is unusually messy.
Stiles takes a deep breath then looks at me with a serious expression, "Scott's a werewolf," he blurted and I couldn't help but to laugh at the thought of it.
"Seriously Stiles stop being sarcastic and tell me why you brought me here," I tell him still chuckling at what he said.
Stiles raises his eyebrow at me, "I am being serious Elena, I mean look at all of this research," Stiles says handing me a mess of papers.
I didn't bother to look at the papers I just sat them down on his bed, "You really believe this don't you?" I ask and he nods in confirmation.
I can't lie, I mean now that Stiles has said it, it kind of makes sense. The weird changes in behavior and the sudden ability to play lacrosse. I shake my head telling myself I'm becoming paranoid.
"But Stiles there are no wolves in California, plus there is no bite mark to prove he was even bitten," I try to reason with him.
"We aren't talking regular wolves Elena, werewolves like shapeshifters," he tells me becoming excited. "And the bite mark probably healed, Elena everything in him is heightened; his emotions, strengths, and healing ability." Stiles argues.
"I'm not saying I believe you but if Scott is a werewolf should we let him go out with Allison tonight, I mean it is a full moon," I remind him.
Stiles nods, "I've already called Scott over to try and talk to him," he tells me.
I nod and look over at the pile of Stiles' research, "Okay well while we wait I need to catch me up on all of this if you want me on your side," I say.
Stiles goes over to sit on his bed and I follow his lead and he picks up the stack of papers and starts talking and comparing everything to how Scott has been acting.
After about twenty minutes of Stiles reading me his findings he really had me convinced, everything he has said to me makes perfect sense. "Holy shit," I say standing up and turning to face Stiles. Our best friend is a werewolf,"
When Scott finally arrives both Stiles and I are nervous to see how he reacts to this news. "Hey what'd you need I'm getting ready for my date," he says with a smile.
"You have to cancel it Scott," I tell him and I hate crushing his happiness.
Scott looks over at me his smile now gone and replaced with confusion, "What, why?" he asks quickly.
"Because of this Scott," Stiles says handing him a stack of papers.
Scott chuckles and looks at Scott, "How much Adderall have you had Stiles?" he asks.
"A lot but that isn't the point," Stiles stresses. "If you go to that party tonight it could be dangerous," he tells him. "Scott you're a werewolf and tonight is a full moon,"
Scott laughs disbelievingly, "Stiles I'm not a freaking werewolf," he says.
"Look at the signs Scott you no longer need your inhaler, your behavior has been weird lately, and you're suddenly amazing at lacrosse," I tell him.
"Guys everything is my life is somehow perfect why are you two trying to ruin it?" he asks us.
I look to Stiles because now we're the bad guys, "We're trying to help you Scott," Stiles says softly.
"Scott just look at this," Stiles says handing him another book as he makes his way towards Scott's book bag.
"Stiles what're you doing?" Scott asks.
Stiles rummages through Scott's bag until he gets his phone, "I'm calling and canceling the date right now," he says.
And something snapped in Scott because all of a sudden the desk chair flew across the room and Stiles was pinned against the wall while Scott held up a fist.
"SCOTT!" I yell standing from the bed, "Scott get off of him!" I say getting in between them and shoving him back.
Scott's eyes widen in surprise at his sudden actions, "I'm sorry," he says quickly before grabbing his bag and running out.
I look back at Stiles who still hasn't moved, "Are you alright?" I ask him and nods.
I walk back over to the bed and watch as Stiles picks up desk chair but he stops midway and stares at something on the back, "What is it?" I ask walking up. I go stand beside Stiles and sure enough there are claw marks down the back.
"We need to get to that party," Stiles says urgently and I nod in agreement.
Any suspension I had about Scott being a werewolf vanished the moment he flipped out Stiles, he would've never done that if something weren't wrong with him. Stiles drove me to back home and told me he would be back a little between eight and nine.
Once I got home I changed into a pair of black fringy boho shorts with a white crop-top and my black sandals. To waste time I straightened my hair and done a little of my makeup. I was just heading downstairs when I heard Stiles' jeep pull up in the driveway.
I met Stiles outside and he was standing on the passenger side of the jeep dressed in a nice button down shirt and a pair of black slacks. "Okay so my plan is I watch out for Scott and you make sure Allison gets home safely," he says.
"Stiles how can I do that if I'm riding with you?" I ask. Stiles doesn't answer but bites his lips in frustration. "Hold on I'll just sneak my aunt Jenna's keys and drive her car," I tell him as I sneak back inside and grab the keys off the key rack and run back out.
Stiles gives me a high five and gets back into his jeep before driving off and I follow close behind. We pull up to the beach parking spot and hurry down to where the bonfire is. "Wait!" I say grabbing Stiles' arm. "Is Jeremy over there smoking?"
Stiles sighs "That is a problem for a different time, focus Elena," he scolds and I nod focusing on our plan.
I scan the pool of teenager until I finally find Scott and Allison dancing, "Well things don't look to bad, maybe he'll be able to handle this," I tell Stiles and he just rolls his eyes.
Stiles and I walk around so Scott doesn't notice us but we end up running into Bonnie and Caroline, "Elena you're here!" Bonnie gushed.
Stiles stands there awkwardly glaring at Caroline, "I'm going to get a drink, I'll meet up with you in a second," he says before walking away.
"You and Stiles came together?" Bonnie asks a bit confused.
I shake my head, "No we just met up earlier," I lied to her.
Caroline rolled her eyes, "Oh please everyone knows you're bound to end up with Scott or Stiles," she laughs.
I make a sour face at the thought, "Do people really think that?" I ask her and she nods.
"Anyway I just spotted the hot new boy so I'm ditching the two of you," she smirks as she saunters off.
Bonnie groans, "Elena you're letting her take your man!" she says. "Go fight for him," she demands.
I laugh and shake my head and I look over to see Allison standing in the dance area alone, "Hey I have to go find Stiles I'll see you later," I tell her before running off to the drinks.
"Stiles, Scott's gone!" I tell him and he looks over and sees that Scott is nowhere in sight.
Stiles nods putting his glass down, "I'll go find Stiles you go get Allison home!" he demands.
I start making my way towards Allison pushing through hordes of drunken teenagers until I am finally in front of Allison. "Hey Allison right?" I ask.
Allison nods, "Yeah how'd you know?" she asks.
"I'm a friend of Scott's," I tell her and she nods. "Look Scott is really sick and he asked me to make sure you were alright," I lied to her.
Allison nodded with a worried expression on her face, "Is Scott alright?" she asks.
I nod, "I mean he should be fine but I think he's having an allergic reaction to something," I lie again, "I think Stiles got it under control but he's going to go him with Stiles,"
Allison nods, "I mean I'm glad he's alright but he was kind of my ride," she chuckled.
I shook my head, "No worried I can get you home," I tell her and lead her to my car.
The drive was very quiet and very awkward but luckily it was less than a ten-minute drive. I pulled into the driveway and gawked at her house, "You have a beautiful home," I tell her as I step out of the car to get a better look.
Allison nods, "It is a family home, it was passed down to us," she tells me.
Suddenly the front door opens and out walks the hottest guy I've ever seen before, "Allison you're home early," he says sarcastically.
Allison rolls her eyes at the guy, "Thanks for the ride home Elena," she says before walking past the guy and into her house.
The nameless guy gives me an intrigued look "Elena is that your name?" he asked taking a step closer to me.
I gulp and nod, "Yes, Elena Gillbert" I tell him.
Damon nods, "You remind of someone I used to know a long time ago," he says with a smile. "Anyways thank you for getting Allison home," he says with a polite nod.
I turn around to get back in my car but was stopped when he decided to speak again, "I'm Damon by the way," he says before walking inside.
I was frozen in my spot for a solid minute before I was able to move again, and suddenly another car pulled in and out stepped Stefan.
"Hello?" he asks confusedly as he walked closer to me.
"Oh hi," I say nervously.
Stefan gives a small smile as he points a finger at me, "Elena right?" he asks and I nod in response. "Elena what're you doing at my house, if I may ask?"
"Oh I brought Allison home from the party because her date got sick," I told him.
Stefan nodded, "Okay well I was going to go to The Grill for some food would you like to join me?" he asks.
I nod, "I mean I'll have to drive myself but sure," I say hoping Stiles has dealt with Scott.
Stefan nods and I step back into my car and lead us to The Grill.
