Chapter two: Second chance at first line
Even the nicest people
have their limits.
-Unknown
Lexi had decided to watch the boys practice, now that Scott was First line she wanted to see what he could do. Everything was going great, the team was doing pretty good, in Lexis opinion. It was Scott's turn to go one on one against Jackson. Scott took off not running fast enough, and Jackson knocked Scott to the ground. Scott landed hard when he got up he was breathing hard. Coach Bobby Finstock yelled at Scott about that his dead grandma mother could run faster than him. Lexi was sitting at the benches trying not to laugh at coach behavior, he hadn't changed from Lexis days, on the field. Something Lexi always like about him. His logic was out the window, but it was entertaining to listen to unless he was yelling at you.
"McCall is going to do it again! McCall is going to do it again!" Coach yield out. Scott started to walk back to the front of the line.
"Okay, Scott! Show them what you are made of!" Lexi called out to Scott, trying to cheer him up. Scott didn't seem to hear her like he was not there. Scott took off at a new try, but this time it seemed like he wasn't going to try to avoid Jackson, more like he was running right at him. Scott slammed into Jackson. Jackson fell to the ground holding his shoulder in pain, Scott grabbed his head and fell on his knees. Stiles hurried over to Scott to see if he is okay. Lexi stood up and walked over to them. The team stood around Jackson on the field to see if he's okay not noticing that Stiles and Scott hurried off the field over to the locker room.
Lexi was about to follow them to the locker room when she recognizes a certain person standing not far from the stands. Lexi walk over to him feeling that Scott and Stiles were going to be fine on their own. She stood in front of him with crossed arms.
"What are you doing here Derek?" Lexi said. Derek doesn't care to answer and started to walk away form Lexi.
"You are going to stay away and leave them alone. Especially Scott." Lexi said with a hard voice. Derek stopped walking and turn to face her.
"And what will you do if I don't?" Derek said with little amusement. Derek found it funny that this girl dared to threaten him, having no idea of what he was.
"Trust me you don't want to know." Lexi said through her teeth and took a step closer to him. They were now standing head to head having a staring contest.
In the locker room, Scott was fully shifted and chasing Stiles around like he was Scott pry. Stiles came over a fire-extinguisher and used it on Scott. Spraying Scott down in white powder, snapping Scott out of his trans. Stiles stood outside of the looker room still holding the fire-extinguisher ready to use it again on Scott if he needed.
Lexi was walking to the locker room when she saw Stiles standing outside of the locker room holding a fire- extinguisher in his hand and looking like he was out of breath. She walked over to him.
"Stiles? What are you doing?" Lexi asked confused. Stiles flinched and turned quickly in Lexis direction. Before Stiles answer Lexi they both hear a week, confused voice calling Stiles from the locker room. Stiles and Lexi looked in the locker room seeing Scott now back to normal, sitting on a bench looking up at them confused.
"What happened?" Scott asked Stiles.
Stiles and Lexi both standing in the doorway decided that it is safe now that Scott is back to himself and walked in.
"You tried to kill me," Stiles said as started taking off his gloves.
"It's like I told you before, it's the anger. It's your pulse rising. It's a trigger." Stiles said as he sat down on the floor in front of Scott. Lexi stood leaning against someone's locker.
"But that's lacrosse. It's a pretty violent game if you haven't noticed." Scott said with some disappointment.
"Well, it's going to be a lot more violent if you end up killing someone on the field," Stiles said.
"Stiles, not helping." Lexi hissed at Stiles.
"You can't play Saturday, you have to get out of the game," Stiles said knowing it was something Scott would not want to hear, but it was for his own good and anyone else that was going to play.
"But I'm First line," Scott said.
"Not anymore." Stiles started to Scott.
Scott was home he talked to his mom, and she told him that she got time off her shift at the hospital to see him play. Scott's mom was a nurse. Scott later gets a video call on his computer from Stiles. Scott got up from his bed and sat down in his desk chair, accepts the call. Stiles pops up on the screen pointing a plastic gun at Scott.
"What did you find out?" Scott asked not in the mode for Stiles antics.
"Well, its bad, Jackson got a separated shoulder," Stiles said.
"Because of me?" Scott asked feeling distressed.
"No, because he deserved it. He needed to get his ego knocked down a few notches. Too much ego can't be healthy. You did him a favor." Scott can hear Lexi saying in the background.
"Is he going to play?" Scott asked now not feeling so bad for hurting Jackson.
"Well they don't know jet, now they are just counting on you for Saturday." Scott sighs in frustration at the information. Stiles noticed an outline of a person standing behind Scott.
"What?" Scott asked confused to Stiles behavior and why was focusing on the screen. Stiles started typing. A chat bubble came up on Scott's screen.
It looks like
Scott's screen freezes.
"It looks like what?" Scott asked in a panic. Scott started to get frustrated and wanted his laptop to unfreeze. The screen unfreezes. Stiles and Lexi are now looking back at him with scared faces. They both focusing on the figure behind Scott.
Someone's behind you
"What," Scott whispered to himself. He brought his video chat window up to full screen, and he could now clearly see that he was not alone in his room. Before Scott can turn around to see who it was, he was grabbed from his desk chair and thrown into a wall face first.
Lexi and Stiles saw the whole thing and not able to help Scott. Lexi was beyond pissed at Derek. She had told him to stay away from Scott and what does he do, he breaks into his home and threatens him. Derek was going to have to face the consequences of her wrath for this.
On Friday Scott tried to tell Coach that he couldn't play the game on Saturday. It didn't go over with him so good and it ended with that Scott would play the game no matter Scotts calmed aggressive issue. After Scotts talk with the coach he ran into Alison.
"Hey, you busy?" Alison asked with a smile.
"Never too busy for you," Scott said with that goofy smile he got when he was with Alison.
"I like the sound of that. I have to run to french class, but I want you to know that I'm coming to see you play tomorrow," Alison said.
"You are?" Scott asked shocked.
"And we are all going out afterward. You,me, Lydia and Jackson. It's going to be great. Tell Stiles that he and his girlfriend can come too. Uh, save me a seat at lunch. I gotta go. " Alison said as she walked away.
"God," Scott said to himself, feeling like things could not possibly get any worse than this. Scott was to distracted, to notice that Alison had said Stiles girlfriend when she mentioned Lexi.
After math class Scott was not feeling any better about playing on Saturday, especially now that Lydia threatened with using Alison against him if he didn't play. Stiles ran over to Scott as he was standing at his locker and dragged him across the hall. Stiles point in the direction his dad and another officer were standing, talking to the principal. Stiles asked if Scott could hear what they were saying. Scott tells Stiles there was going to be a curfew because of the body. Stiles annoyed with the curfew taking place, and he wanted to find the other part of the body, so they could arrest Derek and be over with it.
When Scott's last class ended, he took his bike and cycle as fast as he could to Derek's house. Scott arrived and started to yell at Derek about leaving Alison out of things, that she doesn't know anything about werewolf or hunting. Derek doses not believe him about Alison.
Scott picked up the smell of human blood on the ground not far from the house. Scott texted Stiles that he might have found the other part of the body. They meet up at Scott's house and Stiles being Stiles started to ask a lot of questions and getting overall excited.
They went to the hospital so Scott could see if the blood his smelled at Derek's place was the same as the dead girl. Scott goes to the morgue, while Stiles waited around a waiting room. Scott told him the smell was the same.
Stiles and Scott were heading to the Hale house after picking up some shovels. On the way, the Stiles decided to call Lexi to convince her to come with them.
"Come on Lexi," Stiles whined on the phone.
"You said you would come with us if we were going to do something stupid." Stiles continued.
"That was when you decide to go and find a part of a dead body in the woods in the middle of the night, not when you decide to trespass into someone's privet property and dig up that same dead girl. You don't even know if it's the same girl." Lexi explained.
"Scott said the smell the same," Stiles said sounding like a small child. There was a small pause as Stiles waited to hear what she would say. Lexi sighs before answering.
"Am only agreeing to do this, so the poor girl's parents can get closeness to what happened to the daughter. With the hole getting Derek arrested for the murder you are on your own." Lexi said finally agreeing to go with them.
Before hanging up, Stiles told to Lexi to meet them near the Hale house that they would wait for her in his jeep.
Lexi changed out of what she was wearing and dressed in a pair old jeans, a two size too big shirt and a black sweatshirt with small white dots on. She got to her car and drove in the direction of the Hale house. When she arrived, she parked behind Stiles jeep. She got out of her car and walked over and gave a small knock on the driver side window. Stiles rolled down the window.
"Why are you parked so far from the house?" She asked, putting her hand in her sweatshirt pockets to keep her hands warm.
"We are waiting for Derek to leave." Stiles almost whispers.
"And what if he doesn't leave? You haven't thought about that have you." Lexi said to both Stiles and Scott. She could see on their faces that it was a no. She sighed. What had she expect this was Scott and Stiles, of course, they would not think of a such so simple thing. She got into the jeep, climb over Stiles and sat down in the backseat.
They sat in the jeep waiting and hoping that Derek at some point would leave. In the meantime, Lexi tried to play I spy with the boys to get the time to go faster. But it ended like most games did, that she and Stiles played together. Lexi and Stiles started to fight about who was right and who was wrong, while Scott just watched getting entertained by his friends. This time the disengagement started with what kind of trees was growing in the woods around them. Scott will never understand how they got into this discussion about a tree while playing I spy. He had learned early on not to get involved in this kind of disengagement between the two. The whole thing ended with that they had to sit and wait in silence.
"Hey," Scott said pointing in the direction of the Hale house.
Stiles and Lexi looked in the direction Scott was pointing. Derek was getting to his car and driving away, now was their chance. Instead of Lexi going out of the jeep and into her car, she rides with the boys the short way to the house, leaving her car parked on the side of the road.
Stiles parked the jeep in front of the house, and Stiles and Scott got out of the jeep while Lexi gave each of them a shovel then got out of the jeep herself. The Hale house had once been a beautiful big three story house, now half of the house was also gone because of the fire. They started to walk in the direction Scott had smelled the blood. Scott stopped for a moment.
"Wait something is different," Scott stated.
"Different how?" Stiles asked him.
"I don't know. Let's just get this over with." Scott said sounding a little uneasy about the whole situation.
"You know. You probably only think something is different because you know that deep down this is a really, I mean really bad idea." Lexi said to Scott.
They walked over to the freshly excavated soil. Scott and Stiles started to dig while Lexi was in charge of the flashlight. It took a while to dig up the grave and after sometimes Lexi got tied off standing and sat down still shining the flashlight so Stiles and Scott could see what they were doing.
"This is taking way to long," Scott said pointing out the obvious.
"You would this that he buried her deep because none was supposed to dig her up," Lexi said from her place on the ground.
"Just keep going," Stiles said to Scott as he started to get out of breath.
"What if he comes back?" Scott asked feeling like Derek would be back any minute now.
"Then we get the hell out of here." Stiles state as it was the most obvious thing ever.
"And what if he catches us?" Scott asked.
"I have a plan," Stiles said.
"Which is?" Lexi and Scott asked at the same time. Both curious about Stiles's brilliant plan.
"You run one way, I run the other way and Lexi runs in a third way. However, he catches first to bad." Stiles tells them.
"Well, sucks to be you, Stiles," Lexi said with a little laugh. Stiles stopped digging and tuned to give Lexi a look.
"Why?" Stiles asked narrowing his eyes as he looked at her.
"Well now that Scott has his wolf speed, you are the slowest runner of us. So the most obvious thing is for him to run after you. Easiest to catch." Lexi said giving Stiles on of her innocent smile. Scott laugh quite of himself. Stiles turned back around and started to dig again. Stiles shovel hits something in the hole making him stop digging.
"Alright stop. Stop." Stiles said to Scott. Scott stopped and put his shovel on the ground, next to the hole, Stiles did the same with his. Stiles crouched down and started brushing way the dirt and Scott helping him. Lexi stood up looking down the hole and aimed the flashlight down the hole to help the boys to see what they were doing. Stiles began to untangle the ropes tied around what Derek had buried.
"Hurry," Scott tells Stiles.
"I'm trying, but did he have to tie the thing in like 900 knots?" Stiles said having trouble with tying up the knots.
"I'll do it," Scott said helping Stiles.
They had managed to get up the knots and began to remove the piece of fabric, reviling a wolf's upper body. Stiles screamed on the top of his lungs and threw himself out of the hole and Scott was not far behind him jumping out of the hole. Lexi almost got knocked over when Stiles had thrown himself and was trying to keep her footing. Regaining her footing she looked down the hole to see what had spooked the boys. Lexi was unsure if she would like to see what had scared Scott and Stiles. As she looked down the hole, she saw the wolf's head and just stared at it with big eyes. Now she knew what had made Stiles scream like a little girl.
"What the hell is that!?" Stiles scream out, trying to get control over his breathing and his crazy beating heart.
"It's a wolf."Scott states.
"Yeah, we can see that," Lexi said still in a bit of shock at what she was looking at.
"I thought you said you smelled blood. As in human blood." Stiles said looking at Scott.
"I told you something was different," Scott said defending himself.
"This does not make sentences," Stiles said as he looks down the wolf.
"You think?" Lexi asked Stiles almost shrieking.
"We have to get out of here," Scott said now really wanting to get out of there.
"Yeah, okay help me cover this up," Stiles said as Lexi start to put the dirt back in the hole. Lexi standing next to the hole pushed down dirt with her feet.
Stiles was about to get the shovel he had left on the side of the hole when he saw the flower planted on the other side of the hole. Scott sees Stiles staring at the flower. Lexi stopped pushing down dirt with her feet as she notices Stiles and Scott just sitting at the edge of the hole.
"What's wrong?" Scott asked Stiles. Lexi wounded if they weren't going to cover up the hole again.
"You see that flower?" Stiles asked Scott and Lexi.
"What about it?" Scott asked not knowing where Stiles were going with this.
"I think it's wolfsbane," Stiles stated.
"I thought it was called Aconite or something like that," Lexi said not knowing what Stiles were going with the whole thing either.
"What's that?" Scott asked Stiles.
"Have you never sees the Wolfman?" Stiles asked looking at Scott.
"No," Scott answered and shook his head no.
"Lon Chaney jr.? Claude Rains." Stiles asked to see if the names would ring a bell, but Scott only shook his head no again.
"The original, classic werewolf movie?" Stiles asked now a little frustrated with Scott.
"No, what?" Scott asked, frustrated that Stiles could not just say what was so particular about this type of flower. Stiles sighs.
"You are so unprepared for this." Stiles state as he got up and walked towards the flower.
"Don't touch it. Aren't it suppose to be poisonous?" Lexi tells Stiles, stopping him from picking up the flower. Stiles turn to Lexi and shrugged his shoulders and gives her a look saying what's the worse thing that can happen. Stiles turned back to the flower and picked it up.
"Suit yourself if you get aconite posing," Lexi stated to Stiles as she crossed her arms, little annoyed that he would not for ones listened to her.
Stiles lifted up the flower and noticed that the roots were tangled together with a rope. He pulled the rope up and started following it around the hole. Scott and Lexi watched Stiles walking around the hole then stopping where he began as he pulled up the end of the rope. Scott notices that the smell is back to what it was the first time he was at the house, he looks down and sees why.
"Lexi, Stiles," Scott said trying to get their attention.
Lexi turned to Scott and from where she was standing she could clearly see what had caught Scott's attention. Lexi tried to keep the content of her stomach in of side her, but it was hard with what she was seeing. Lexi quickly took off running into the woods but didn't get far and emptied the content of her stomach. Stiles walked over to Scott to see what he was staring at and what had made Lexi run away. When he looked down the hole, he freaked out a bit at what he was seeing.
Where there first had been a part of a wolf, was now the upper part of a girl. Lexi walked uneasy back to the boys, looking pale. Lexi wiped her mouth with the sleeve of her sweatshirt. She stood next to Stiles and looked down at the girl again.
"It's like she is silently judging us," Lexi said looking at the girl that was looking up at them with her dead eyes.
"You okay?" Stiles asked Lexi as she looks like she is going to pass out at any moment.
"Yeah." She answered nodding her head and giving Stiles a small smile.
Lexi told the boys that she had to get home to try and get some sleep, she had to work in the morning and told them to keep safe. She was walking away and called out to Scott that she would be at the game cheering on him. Lexi walked over to her car enjoying the cold, fresh night air. The walk helped to ease her stomach and get her mind off the girl in the grave. As she got into the driver seat, she took a deep breath before turning on the engine and driving home, trying to get her hands from shaking. When Lexi got home, she went directly to bed not even bothering to change clothes. She just wanted to sleep and forget the night and what she had seen.
Lexi managed to get some sleep before waking up from a nightmare. Lexi sat up on her bed trying to calm her breathing and heartbeat. Even now she could see the girl in the grave steering back at her. Lexi got out of her bed and walked into her bathroom. She looked in the mirror she can clearly see the dark circles under her eyes from her restless sleep. She undressed and got into the shower. She stood there letting the warm water relax her body. She got ready for work skipping breakfast, as she didn't feel like eating at the moment. She decided instead to have a bigger lunch.
At work, Lexi was standing in one of the aisles, stocking products on the shelves. She was thinking about the whole Derek thing and the dead girl. Who had killed her, maybe it was an accident, and she had just happened to be at the wrong place at a wrong time or maybe it had been self-defense? If that was the case why had Derek hid the body? But he hadn't just berried her in the dirt, he had done that spiral thing, with the wolfsbane and what did it mean? Was Derek going to come after Stiles and Scott for having him arrested for her murder? The whole thing was giving her a headache.
At the Hale house, now a crime scene. Scott and Stiles saw an officer leading Derek out of his house in handcuffs and put him in the backseat of the Sheriff's cruiser. Stiles snuck into the front seat of the cruiser and tried to get some answers from Derek about the girl. As Derek waited to be transported to the police station for further questioning. But this Stiles, so he gets caught by his dad. As Stiles try to explain how he and Scott found or as they said stumbled upon the body, he lets it slipped that he and Lexi lied about Scott not being with them in the woods when they went looking for the body the first time. Stiles dad tells him and Scott to leave and they do with no objection.
On the road, Scott was experiencing trouble breathing, and he could feel the shift. He took Stiles's backpack from the backseat and saw that he had kept the wolfsbane. The thing that was now forcing him to shift. Scott told Stiles to pull over he needed to get out of the jeep. Stiles pulled over to the side of the road and jumped out taking his bag with him. Stiles threw his bag into the woods thinking that the problem was solved. Stiles turned back to see if Scott was alright, he saw the passenger door open and the jeep empty. Stiles called out with no answer. He got back into his jeep and took off trying to solve his latest problem, finding Scott.
Lexi arrived at the game about half an hour before it was going to start and headed to the locker room to see if Scott had shown up and how he was doing. She entered the locker room keeping her eyes on the floor. She could hear some guys calling out girl, most of them knew who she was and left her be. Lexi found Scott sitting down on a bench talking with Stiles, who were standing up. She walked over to them.
"I want a semi-normal freaking life. Do you get that?" Scott tells Stiles sounding upset.
"I get it." Stiles answer sound sympathetic towards Scott and sits down next to him.
Lexi just wanted to hug Scott and take all his worry and problems away. She didn't like to see Scott so miserable. She stood leaning against the side of Scott's locker not wanting to interrupt their conversation.
"Try not to worry too much while you're out there. Or get too angry." Stiles started to rumble.
"I got it," Scott tells Stiles as he was tying his shoes.
"Or stress." Stiles continue.
"I got it." Scott reaped to Stiles.
"Don't think about Alison being in the stands. Or that her father's trying to kill you. Or that Derek's trying to kill you." Stiles continued. Scott turned towards Stiles with worry in his eyes. Lexi could clearly see that this was not helping.
"Or the girl he killed. Or that you might kill someone if a hunter doesn't kill you first." Stiles continued to rumble.
"Stiles!" Lexi hissed at Stiles making him look at her.
"Not helping," Lexi said stopping Stiles from saying anything else.
"I'm sorry. I'll stop," Stiles said to Scott when he saw the distress look on his face.
"Good luck," Stiles said before going to his own locker to get ready.
"So I heard about what happened today, about you wolfing out," Lexi tells Scott. Scott looked up at Lexi with big eyes wounding how she knew.
"Stiles called me at work, freaking out about what happened. I told him that you would be okay and that you would find your way home sooner or later. So did you have a lovely run in the woods, running to the red riding hood perhaps?" Lexi said making Scott give a small laugh before his face full of worry again.
"It's going to be okay. You can do this." Lexi tells him as she gives him a hug then crouched down to the side of him still keeping her right arm wrapped around his shoulders.
"Just remember you don't need to win this game, there will be others to win. Alison will not care, and if she does she not someone you would want to be with, okay?" Lexi tells Scott as he nodded at her words.
"If someone knocks you down you get up again and take a deep breath then get back in the game. Don't let the anger control you." Lexi said with a small smile on her lips. She stood up about to leave but stopped and turned to Scott again.
"One more thing then I'll let you get ready. On the field is just the game, don't bring your problems and worries onto the field, just focus on the game, nothing else exists when you are on the field. I'll see you out there." Lexi told him then walked out of the locker room. Scott felt a little better about everything now after what Lexi had said to him.
Lexi stood by the stand waiting for the boys to show up. Lexi could feel her heart beating and got that feeling she would get before a game when she used to play. That adrenaline rush. She finally sees the boys walking towards the field. Stiles seeing her started to walk over to her. Scott was about to follow Stiles when Lydia walked up to him and reminded him about her little promise. Lexi and Stiles sat down on the bench for the players.
"How is doing?" Lexi asked Stiles noticed that Scott was tenser now then what he was when she left the locker room. Stiles didn't answer as his dad walked up to them.
"Hey, kid. Lexi." The sheriff said to them as he put his hand on Stiles' shoulder.
"Hey." Stiles answer eyes focused on the field.
"Sheriff," Lexi said with a small smile, looking in the sheriff's direction.
"So do you think you will see any action tonight?" The sheriff asked Stiles.
"Action. Maybe." Stiles answer still focused on the field.
The sheriff walked away to take a seat in the stands. Lexi looks at Scott, hoping he would be able to do this. The players enter the field and Scott took his place. Coach looked at his players and noticed someone who shouldn't sit where she was sitting.
"Greene!" Coach calls out to Lexi as he walked over to her and Stiles.
"Not you Greenberg!" Coach call when he sees Greenberg standing up from where he had been sitting.
"What are you doing here?" He asked her. Lexi looks up at coach and puts on her best smile.
"Coach, what do you mean? What am I doing at the game or what am I doing sitting here and not in the stands? Well to answer both. Am sitting here to keep Stiles company and the watch Scott play. You know I taught him to play." Lexi said still smiling. Coach nodded and walked away as the game was about to start.
"Just so you know my dad knows that we lied about being alone in the woods, the other night. He knows that Scott was there too." Stiles tells Lexi. She looked at Stiles with a raised eyebrow. Before she could even ask, how he found out the game started.
It started with Beacon Hills managing to score the first goal of the game. But as the game progressed it became obvious that none of the other players on the team weren't going to pass the ball to Scott. He got his chance when the ball landed on the ground, not so far from him but Jackson knocked him out of the way and took the ball for himself so he can score. The crowd cheered. Scott looked up at the stands and saw Lydia and Alison holding up a sign that said; We luv u Jackson. Lexi notices Scott staring irritated at the crowd. She turned to see what had him so upset and saw the sign and who was holding it. She tapped Stiles' shoulder, and he turned towards her then looked in the direction she was looking in.
"Brutal," Stiles said as they both turn back to the field.
On the field, Scott was just getting angrier and angrier as he overhears Jackson telling the rest of the team not to pass to him. The game goes on.
Scott still hadn't gotten his chance, but he had taken a real beating on the field. The scores were 3-5 to the other team. The players were taking their places for a new round. Scott stood in his place crouched forward trying to hold back the shift. The player from the opposite team started to back away from Scott when he started to hear the growlers coming from him. Lydia and Alison were holding up a new sign this one saying; Jackson #1.
The new round started and the ball goes flying through the air. Scott sees his chance and jump up and over a player from the other team and catches the ball. Scott took off running avoiding the other players as the score his first goal. Lexi and Stiles jumped up from the bench and cheered for their friend.
"To McCall! Pass to McCall! To McCall!" Coach yelled out to the players.
A new round started and an opposite team caught the ball. The player was about to take off running when he looked at the person in front of him and saw Scott shifted face. He passed the ball to Scott. Lexi and Stiles sitting on the bench could only watch on. Stiles chewing on one of his glove even though Lexi had, again and again, ripped the glove out off his mouth.
"Did the opposite team just deliberately pass us the ball?" Coach asked as he walked up behind Lexi and Stiles.
"Yeah," Lexi answered not really believing what she just had seen.
"Yes, I believe so coach," Stiles answered, neither him or Lexi taking their eyes of the field.
"Interesting." Coach mumbles as he also continued to watch the game.
Scott threw the ball so hard that it went through the goalie's net on his crosse and into the goal. Scott scoring his second goal for the night. The crowd cheered, so do Lexi and Stiles.
"There you go, McCall!" Coach calls out to Scott. The other team's coach approached the referee about the goal not being valid because the goalie did actually catch the ball but the net broke.
"What? The ball is in the net." Coach states as he and the other coach and the referee with all the other players argue about if the goal is valid or not.
"Ball is in the net," Stiles states standing next to Coach. Lexi still sitting on the bench didn't really care if the goal was valid or not, all on her mind was Scott. He was doing a good job so far holding back but how much could he take before the wolf took over.
The referee judges that the score was valid and new round with mere seconds left off the game. The last round started, Scott was passed the ball and took off running but came to a stop in front of the goal. Scott was trying not to attack the players around him. The seconds ticked by and the crowd were calling out for Scott to take the shot.
"Scott shot! You can do this!" Lexi yelled to him.
Scott snapped out of the trance and took control. As the players from the other team ran at him, he threw the ball and scores the winning goal. The crowd cheers loud and stands up the walked out on the field to congratulate the team. Stiles throws his arms around Lexi hugging her.
"Yes! Yes!" Stiles called out as he lets go of Lexi but stills have his left arm around her shoulders and breaths out. Scott had done it.
"Oh my god," Stiles said as he can feel the tension leave his body. Lexi can't help but smile one of her biggest smiles.
Lexi walked off to congratulate the winning team on a great game. Stiles sat again on the bench waiting for his dad to finish his phone call. Stiles notice that something was wrong.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Stiles asked little worried. The Sheriff sign in a moment as he continues to listen what the person on the other line was telling him. At the end of the phone call, the sheriff tells Stiles about having to let Derek go, that it was an animal that had killed the girl. Stiles took off looking for Scott, he found him in the locker room, kissing Alison. Stiles stood awkward waiting for them to stop. When Alison started to walk away, she spotted Stiles.
"Hey, Stiles," Alison said as she walked by with a smile on her lips.
"Yeah, hey." Stiles answer back. As Alison left the locker room, she meets Lexi.
"Hey Alison right?" Lexi said with a small smile.
"Oh, we haven't officially meet. I'm Lexi." Lexi said holding out her hand for Alison to shake.
"Nice to meet you," Alison said as she shakes Lexis hand.
"Right, you are Stiles girlfriend," Alison said making Lexi look at her with big eyes.
"What?" Lexi asked confused.
"No, not girlfriend just friend." Lexi states.
"Oh, sorry I thought.." Alison said.
"It's okay, I have known Stiles since he was like 5. I'm more of a big sister to both him and Scott." Lexi said clearing up Alison misunderstanding.
"Well, I have to go. It nice talking to you." Alison said as she walked away. Lexi headed to the locker room to see how Scott was. As she walked in she could hear talking, she assumed it was Scott and Stiles.
"The medical examiner looked at the other part of the body we found," Stiles tells Scott.
"And?" Scott asked. Lexi stood quite wanting to know as well.
"Well, we'll keep it simple. The medical examiner determined killer of girl to be animal, not human. Derek human, not animal. Derek not killer. Derek let out of jail." Stiles tells them.
"Are you kidding me?" Scott asked none in particular.
"No, and here's the other kick in the ass. My dad ID'd the dead girl, both half. Her name was Laura Hale." Stiles said.
"Hale?" Scott asked, wounding why it sounded so familiar.
"Derek's sister," Stiles confirmed.
"That would explain why he buried her near the house. And the thing with the flower. It wasn't just some place he buried her, it was a burial place, where he put her to peace." Lexi said now gotten the answer to some questions that had distributed her through the day. Stiles and Scott looked a Lexi not really sure what she was going with this. Lexi noticed the look she got from them.
"You can't really think he killed his own sister?"
Lexi was getting to her car when she noticed a certain car in the parking lot and its owner not far from it.
"I thought I told you to leave Scott alone and what do you do? You break into his room and scare the living crap out of him." Lexi said with an angry and irritated voice.
"And I thought you were going to have me stuffed if I did," Derek stated amused.
"Well I haven't really had the time, you know," Lexi said as she was deep in thought.
"Did you really threatened Scott not to play knowing he might shift because you didn't want to put him or any other at unnecessary risk or was it just out of selfishness?" Lexi wondered. All Derek did, was to stare at her. Lexi sigh then looked at the ground before looking up at Derek again.
"I know you really don't what to hear this, especially from me but I'm sorry about your sister, and if it makes you feel any better I don't think you killed her," Lexi said with sympathy as she got to her car.
Derek looked strange at Lexi as she got into her car and drove away. He didn't know what to think. First, she threatened him and, now she was nice to him. Women Derek thought as he got into his car and drove home.
This is Halloween, this is Halloween

This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright
It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween
*clear throat*
