When Faye O'Conner woke up, it was to the sound of rather loud and obnoxious banging on her front door. Groaning, she attempted to get out of her bed, not realizing that someone had their arm gently wrapped around her. Confused, she turned her head to find her brother sleeping beside her, still in his clothes from the night before. He was laid out in an uncomfortable position, half sitting and half falling off the bed, his mouth hung open and Faye laughed as she noticed the small trail of drool that was falling on to his shoulders.
"Grey!" She shouted loudly, watching his body jerk up right and fall off the bed.
She erupted in giggles while she watched Greyson slowly lift himself back onto the bed, his green eyes glaring at her matching pair.
"One of these days, Faye." He warned her causing her to continue to giggle.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I couldn't help it." She admitted, raising her hands in defense.
"Are you okay, Faye?" He asked her questioningly, watching her reaction curiously.
"Of course I am Grey, why wouldn't I be?" she asked him confused, running a hand through her long chestnut hair.
"It's just, well do you remember what happened last night?" He asked her, reaching over and placing a caring hand to her forehead to check her temperature.
"Uhm not really, I mean Stiles dropped me off last night and I came straight to bed and passed out." She admitted, shrugging her shoulders.
"Hmm, well listen I'm going to go up to bed and get some more sleep. If you go out tonight just remember to get home early, school tomorrow." He reminded her yawning; walking over towards her and pressing a light kiss to her forehead.
"Je t'aime, petite fée." He whispered, walking away slowly.
"Love ya too, frère." She responded, shaking her head in puzzlement.
Remembering the loud knocking that had awakened her, Faye walked slowly down the large winding staircase that lead to the front door. Yawning, she opened it to find two very agitated teenagers standing with their arms crossed.
"Well hello to you too." She chuckled, rubbing the tiredness out of her eyes.
"Do you have any idea how long we've been standing here? And could you put some clothes on?" Stiles Stilinski asked of his best friend as he walked into her rather large home.
"Someone's in a lovely mood today." She noted, a laugh escaping her lips as she gave Scott McCall a gentle hug.
"He's been irritating me all day." Scott admitted to her causing Stiles to roll his eyes at his two best friends.
"Oh shut up, we've only been together for half an hour." He reminded Scott.
"And that's already half an hour too long."
It was nearing midnight and Faye was completely exhausted. After Scott and Stiles had gotten to her house the three decided a day out at the beach would do them some justice before school. So, the three had changed quickly and spent the entire day at Meadow Lake. The three had finally departed only two hours ago, and Faye felt as if she were about to faint from fatigue. Walking into her connecting bathroom, she opened the medicine cabinet and pulled out her medication. Buspirone prescribed to Faye O'Connor take only 2 a day, with or without food. Faye read off the orange bottle, rolling her eyes slightly. She hated the fact that she had to take these stupid pills everyday, they made her feel weak and vulnerable. Yet, she would never truly admit to the reason why she was forced to take the pills. After swallowing the pilsl and drinking a glass of water, Faye walked back to her bedroom and began to pull up her covers. As she was about to lie down in bed, she could faintly hear the sounds of feet padding across her large front yard. Curiously, Faye walked towards her window to see if the sound was just her imagination or if it were truly there. Looking out, she saw nothing.
"Huh?" Faye shrugged quietly, too tired to actually worry about it.
She went to walk back towards her bed when a loud knock caused her to scream out for dear life. There, at her window was Stiles with a wicked smile on his face.
"Goddamnit Stiles! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" She shouted at him, picking up a stuffed animal from her floor and chucking it at him.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I couldn't resist." He laughed as he slipped in through the now opened window, still laughing.
"Faye, are you alright?" Scott called, rushing through Faye's opened bedroom door.
He walked in to see a seething Faye and a laughing Stiles and a smile fell into place on his lips.
"I knew it was his fault." Scott chuckled causing Faye to simply glare at him.
"What are you two doing here anyway?" She asked them curiously.
"I was listening to my dad's phone call earlier-" Stiles began but Faye cut him off.
"You know that's eavesdropping right?" She asked him completely unamused as Stiles simply rolled his eyes at her.
"So tell me something new, anyway! When I was listening in I heard him say that some hikers found a body in the woods" He informed her while Faye simply looked confused.
"Wait like a dead body?" She asked him questioningly.
"No, a body of water! Yes a dead body, I swear I don't know how I'm friends with either of you." He told them sarcastically.
"Scott, what the hell is he talking about?" She asked him confused.
"I said the same thing." Scott chuckled causing Faye to giggle.
"Okay, well if they found the body…then what are we looking for?" Faye asked.
"That's the best part, they only found half. Now get you're cute ass up because we're about to go find the other half." Stiles told her with a smirk causing Faye to seriously re-think her friendships.
The three had finally arrived to Beacon Hills Preserve, getting out quietly Faye immediately got a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach and went to grab a hold of Stiles and Scott's hands. Stiles gave a small blush at the contact, while Scott simply wrapped his arm around his best friend's shoulder. He's known Faye since she was a little girl, and because of that he's always seen her as a little sister. He's been there for her through everything, and three were practically inseparable.
"Are we honestly doing this right now?" Faye asked them curiously, clutching tightly to Stiles and Scott.
"I agree with her man, I wanted to get a good night's rest tonight before school tomorrow." Scott agreed with Faye while Stiles simply scoffed.
"Come on, you two are the one's always bitchting about how nothing happens in this town. And honestly Scott, we all know you just want a good rest before practice tomorrow but let's be serious we're going to end up on the bench again like last year." Stiles admitted bluntly causing Faye to giggle slightly, it was more than likely true.
"Well that's a lie, I'm actually going to be playing this year. In fact, I think I'll even make first line." Scott admitted with a smug smile on his face.
"Yeah, you were planning on doing that after I got married to Jackson Whittemore, right?" Faye asked him sarcastically, giggling slightly as Scott rolled his eyes at her.
"You know what? You two deserve each other." He informed them, shoving Faye slightly towards Stiles who simply wrapped his arm where Scott had let go of Faye.
"That's alright right Stiles? We'll go and get married in Hawaii and then honey moon in Fiji and we won't even invite Scott to any of it!" Faye giggled while sticking her tongue out at Scott.
Stiles blushed slightly again at the insinuation of Faye and him getting married and Scott simply chuckled, he had heard all about Stiles' plan on getting Faye to marry him in the sixth grade when Stiles realized he was in love with her.
"Anyway love birds, what part of the body are we looking for anyway?" Scott asked, Stiles following them around the preserve.
"Huh, well I'm not quite sure, it wasn't something I actually thought about." Stiles admitted truthfully.
"And uh what happens when the person that killed her is still walking around the woods?" Scott asked again, causing a small shiver to run up Faye's arm.
"Yeah…also something I didn't think about." Stiles admitted.
"Well, at least you planned this out with your usual attention to detail Stiles, that's all we ask." Faye chuckled as the three continued to trek through the forest.
As they continued walking Faye and Stiles couldn't help but laugh at Scott and his usual complaining, though Faye still couldn't shake off this bad feeling in the pit of her stomach. She was just trying to make the most of the last summer night with her two best friends, but suddenly Stiles had pulled her down to the ground beside him and Scott followed right after. The three watched quietly as men with flashlights and what appeared to be large German Sheppard's walked towards them through the thick shrubbery; out of no where Stiles had jumped up quickly hauling Faye with him.
"Come on, let's go." He smirked while Scott called after them.
As Faye and Stiles continued to run through the forest, they turned their head's once or twice to make sure Scott was following. After Scott had continuously yelled at them to wait up, Faye and Stiles stopped for a moment; but, they should have kept running. They were quickly caught off guard by the sounds of a dog barking at them loudly, scaring the pants off of both of them and sending them tumbling to the ground while a lot of flashlights were being pointed in their faces.
"Stop it right there!" The policeman shouted, Stiles and Faye not daring to argue.
"Hold up, hold up. These little delinquents are mine." Sherriff Stilinski acknowledged while walking up towards Faye and Stiles.
"So, are you listening into all of my phone calls?" The Sherriff asked Stiles as he simply shrugged.
"Well, not the boring ones." He admitted causing Faye to giggle slightly.
Suddenly the Sherriff's flashlight was pointed at her, and a disappointed smile fell on his face.
"Now Faye, I expected more from you. You're supposed to be the good influence on my boy remember." The Sherriff reminded her causing her to blush fiercely.
"I know I'm sorry sir." She admitted as he simply shook his head.
"And now where's your usual partner in crime?" he asked them as they shrugged their shoulders.
"Who? Scott? No he's not here, he said something about wanting to get a good night's sleep before practice." Stiles explained to his dad as the Sheriff nodded.
"Scott!" He called out, flashing his light out in to the trees.
When he noticed no movement in the shrubbery, he gently placed his hand on the small of Faye's back and gripped Stiles' collar tightly.
"Alright you two, I am now going to give you both a lesson on the invasion of privacy and what it means to truly trespass." He explained to them, as they both sighed and tried explaining themselves.
After much hesitation, the Sheriff finally got Faye and Stiles into his Jeep, and watched them drive away with sad smiles on their faces.
"Do you think Scott will be okay?" She asked him quietly when they were about a block away from her house.
"Don't worry about him Faye, I promise you he will be okay." He comforted her, holding her small delicate hand in his gently.
"I sure hope so, and by the way Stiles…thank you for tonight. I really needed a good laugh." She smiled at him, placing a soft kiss on his cheek.
"Get some sleep tonight alright, Fairy." He told her, using the same nickname on her since he befriended her at six years old.
"You too, Stiles." She smiled at him as she got out of his jeep, and snuck back in through her opened window.
Whilst Stiles continued to watch Faye walk to her front door, her attention seemed to be captured by something out in the woods behind her house. Through the thick shrubbery and much of the plant life, Faye could faintly see the glowing light of two red beams. Squinting her eyes, she tried to see if it was a possible trick of the light, blinking she realized it wasn't. Faye began to walk a bit closer towards where she saw the lights, some sort of strange feeling pulling her towards them, it wasn't until she was about to enter the woods when she heard an unfamiliar voice whisper out.
Run.
