"Let's just get this over with." Scott breaths as him and Stiles make their way to the back of the Hale house after waiting hours for Derek to leave. They had no idea how long he would be gone so they needed to move quick.
It seems as though it takes hours for them to finally feel like they were getting closer, but still there was nothing, no body, nothing.

Panicking slightly Scott rubs his forehead and looks around making sure Derek wasn't coming "This is taking was too long."
"Just keep going." Stiles gruffs out as he continues to dig, while Scott was still panicking.
"What if he comes back?"
"Then we get the hell out of here."

Scott just shakes his head, as horrifying thoughts continue to plague him "What if he catches us?"
Stiles shrugs "I have a plan for that."
"Which is?"
Stiles grunts in effort before stopping for a beat to look over at his best friend "You run one way, I run the other. Whoever he catches first, too bad."

Scott stares at him, he had to be kidding "I hate that plan."
Stiles shrugs before lowering his shovel again only to hit something solid "All right. Stop, stop, stop!" He yells before turning to Scott.

Both of them toss their shovels away before bending down attempting to pull at the knots wrapped tightly around the wrapped body.
"Hurry, hurry." Scott panics, worried that Derek was going to show up at any minute and kill them.
"I'm trying." Stiles snaps "Did he have to tie the thing in like 900 knots?"
Scott groans "I'll do it." As he begins helping.

Slowly both of them pull back the sheet covering the body only for both of them to scream and leap out of the grave.
"What the hell is that!" Stiles screams as he stares at the body, to say that was not what he expected was an understatement.

"It's wolf." Scott breaths out in confusion as he stares at the wolf form.
"Yeah I can see that. I thought you said you smelled blood? As in human blood?
Scott shrugs he didn't know what he was doing, he was still struggling to understand how any of this worked "I told you something was different."

Suddenly the noise of his phone ringing makes Stiles scream before groaning, bending down he grabs his phone, his eyes widen as he spots the missed call from Buffy. Dinner with her and his dad, he had completely forgotten.
Slamming his hands on his forehead he groans only for a purple flower to catch his attention "Wolfsbane."
"What?" Scott asks in confusion.

Stiles stares at him dumb folded, he couldn't be serious "Seriously? Haven't you ever seen The Wolf Man? Lon Chaney Jr.? Claude Rains?" Again Scott shakes his head, seriously how had a werewolf not watched a single werewolf movie.
Stiles groans "You are so unprepared for this." He says as he grabs the flower only to spot rope moving with it as he pulls, Stiles continues to pull on the rope circling around the whole of the grave.

"Stiles." Scott says as he stands and stares into the grave. Stiles circles round to Scott and his eyes widen as now in the grave was a human girl.


"My son is a flake." Stilinski says as she opens the front door of her house to spot the Sheriff holding a bag of donuts and coffee.
Buffy's eyes widen at the sight of the donuts "Jelly?"

"As always." He tells her making her grin like a child before stepping outside and taking the bag and the coffee "Thank you, Sheriff."
Stilinski smiles "Now that I have convinced you not to kill my son, I have bad news for you?"

Buffy groans, "What did I do?"
The Sheriff chuckles before leading her to his car "Don't worry you're not in trouble."

"Says the cop leading me to the cop car." Buffy points out as she takes a sip of her coffee and slips into the front seat of the car.
As the Sheriff puts the car into drive Buffy looks around and smiles "It's nice up here. Used to being back there." She says offhandedly making the Sheriff sigh in amusement, she may be a delinquent but she was the closet thing to a daughter he had, and Claudia had adored her.

Buffy bites into the donut before glancing at the Sheriff "So what's the what?"
"The what is your community service." He tells her making her gulp down the bite of her donut and groan, she was hoping that would have disappeared.

Stilinski glances over at her before sighing "I was gonna tell you at dinner last night, but when my son neglected to tell either of us he wasn't coming plans had to change."
"Hence the sugar-breakfast?" She asks laughing softly making the Sheriff laugh as well "Pretty much."
"So what torture shall I be enduring?"

"Well originally before they put it on hold..." The Sheriff pauses when one of his deputy's tells him about the tip at the Hale house "Sorry, just gotta make a quick stop."
"It's cool I can deal as long as there is another jelly in this bag."
"There's three."
Buffy's eyes widen in delight "You are a God." She says happily making him smile.

Shaking his head he focuses "Anyway, for burning down the gym in L.A—"
"Allegedly." Buffy argues.
Stilinski shakes his head in amusement "Allegedly burning down the gym—"
Again Buffy cuts him off "They said it could have been mice."
The Sheriff groans, "You're as bad as Stiles."

"You forget me and Mischief grew up together." Buffy points out smirking slightly "Scott was the good one."

Stilinski shakes his head, holding back the laugh, Scott had literally been the one with common sense, without him Buffy and Stiles probably would be in a detention centre by now "Anyway, you were supposed to be picking up garbage on the side of the road for the next six months..." As Buffy's eyes fill with horror he quickly reassures her "But...I pulled some strings, managed to convince them that doing volunteering in one of the local businesses would straighten you out"

Buffy's eyes widen at that, she couldn't believe he would do that for her, he was literally her only father-figure or any form of adult male, her own father couldn't even pick up a damn phone "You are amazing papa Stilinski."
Stilinski chuckles "I know, but don't go around telling people the Sheriff has favourites. I get in trouble for that."

Buffy smiles and nods in agreement "I shall take it with me to the grave." She smiles brightly and leans back in her chair before a thought comes to her "So where my doing my time?"
"Dr. Deaton down at the animal clinic volunteered to take you on." He tells her making her frown until she realises why, it would make it easier for them to talk Slayer stuff without getting caught on campus or without her having to make-up excuses to where she was all the time.
"Fine by me."

Slowly they pull up a large house, as they do Buffy frowns at the sight of the damaged burnt house, it looks so familiar.
Frowning she tilts her head and watches as the deputies enter the property, someone couldn't actually live here right?

"I'll be right back, just don't leave the car okay?"

At the question Buffy nods before watching as the Sheriff exits the car and heads to the house.


Scott and Stiles watch from the jeep as Stiles' dad's car pulls up at the Hale house.
"Dude, look!" Scott says nudging Stiles slightly, Stiles frowns and glances over at his dad's car only for his eyes to widen, there sat in the passenger seat eating donuts was Buffy.

"What is she doing with your dad?" Scott hisses not wanting to risk Buffy being near Derek after catching his scent on her, Buffy was his best friend and like a sister to him, he just wanted to protect her.

Stiles groans, "We used to have a Saturday tradition." He says annoyed by how stupid he was "We used to pick her up with donuts, my guess cause I ditched them both last night I wasn't invited."
Scott groans before his eyes widen in panic, Derek was being lead to the Sheriff car where Buffy was still sat "No, no, no." He mumbles, this wasn't good.


Buffy was texting Allison when she caught sight of the deputies walking over with a man in handcuffs. To her shock, it wasn't just any guy, it was Derek.
Buffy shakes her head in confusion, what the hell is going on?

As the deputy places Derek in the backseat he doesn't even notice her still sat there, before he walks off.

Waiting a minute she turns to face the handsome idiot "What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?" She asks causing his eyes to slam up meeting her before widening "What are you doing here?" He whispers knowing Scott was out there probably listening.
Buffy shrugs "Eating. It's jelly you want?" She asks holding up the bag of donuts only for him to glare at her.

Buffy sighs putting joking aside to look at him seriously "Okay, joking aside, why are you here?"
"Your idiot friends are responsible for this." He says gesturing to his handcuffs.
Buffy glares at him slightly "One only I can call them idiots. And two what the hell are you talking about?"

Derek groans in annoyance and clenches his jaw as he glares at her, how she could crack jokes right now was beyond him.
Buffy sighs "Sorry."
Derek doesn't respond at first before nodding and looking up at her "Your friends are the reason I'm in handcuffs, I didn't do what they think I did."

Buffy frowns at that, curious she was now "What do they think you did?"
"Doesn't matter." Derek takes a deep breath and looks at her seriously "I saved your life, you know I'm just trying to help, convince them of that, otherwise horrible things are going to happen."

Before Buffy could question him anymore the Sheriff yells loudly at one of the deputies "You left her in there with him!" She hears him exclaim before walking over and opening her door.

Placing a hand on her arm, he carefully pulls her from the car "Come on, sweetie." He tells her before placing an arm on her shoulder and leading her away from the car.


"What is he saying to her!" Stiles hisses as Scott listens in on the conversation currently going on between Buffy and Derek, if one thing was clear, it was that they knew each other.
However the minute the words saved your life leave his lips Scott's eyes widen "He saved her life."
"What?!" Stiles exclaims in panic "What how when? Why would her life need saving?!"

"I don't know!" Scott hisses as he continues to listen before groaning as the Sheriff leads Buffy out of the car, he frowns however as he watches her glance back at Derek with worry in her eyes.

Stiles frowns but the minute he spots Buffy and his dad far enough away from the car he slowly makes his way over ignoring Scott's whispers to come back.

Quickly slipping into the seat Buffy had just left he turns to Derek "First of all, stay away from her and second of all I'm not afraid of you." He tells Derek as he leans against the metal fence between the front seat and the backseat.

When Derek looks up at him with dark eyes, Stiles' eyes widen in fear, okay maybe he spoke too soon "Okay, maybe I am. Doesn't matter. I just wanna know something. The girl you killed, she was a werewolf, she was a different kind, wasn't she? I mean, she can turn herself into an actual wolf, and I know Scott can't do that. Is that why you killed her? What about the guy in the school? Why kill him?"

Derek's face remains hard and stoic as he glares at Stiles, leaning forward slightly he intimidates Stiles "Why are you so worried about me when it's your friend who's the problem? When he shifts on the field, what do you think they're gonna do, huh? Just keep cheering him on? I can't stop him from playing, but you can."

As Derek's words hit Stiles hard making fear fill him as the possibility of everything he was saying actually occurring seemed more likely, he couldn't help but gulp.
He backs away slightly as Derek leans all the way in "And trust me, you want to."

Before Stiles could get another word in his is forcibly removed from the car by his dad, who pulls his arm painfully "Ow, ow, ow." Stiles complains, as he is dragged and pushed to stand besides Buffy who was laughing at his misery.

"Stand." Stilinski orders his son, who sighs preparing for the lecture to come "What the hell do you think you're doing?"
Stiles shrugs "I'm just trying to help, plus why does Buffy get to talk to the prisoner and she gets rewarded with donuts and I get bruises."
"Because I'm prettier than you." Buffy jokes while the Sheriff rolls his eyes at the banter between the two.

"She's not in trouble because the deputy is the idiot who didn't even notice her and she wasn't the one talking to a murderer."

"Murderer?" Buffy asks in confusion as she glances back at Derek who's eyes were already on her.
Seeing her confusion he shakes his head at her making her frown, it was almost like he had heard her.

Stiles glances in between the two of them, he knew there was something he was missing here, how they knew each other worried him, he didn't like it one bit. What he liked less was the look of interest in her eyes.
Clenching his jaw he turns back to his dad who was attempting to get his attention.

"Why don't you explain to me exactly how you fell upon this?" Stilinski asks.
Stiles sighs "We were looking for Scott's inhaler."
The Sheriff frowns "Which he dropped when?"
"The other night." Stiles says with a shrug, not realising how much he had just screwed up with those three words.
"The other night when you were out here looking for the first half of the body?"
Stiles rolls his eyes "Yes."

Buffy's eyes widen in disgust "What is wrong with you?"
"Says you Miss, were there any marks on the body?" Stiles points out making Buffy frown in confusion, how in the hell—that's when it hits her. Allison would have mentioned it to Scott, who, following the cycle, mentioned it to Stiles.
The Sheriff and turns his gaze on the blonde "This body?"
"No." Buffy groans glaring at Stiles before looking down in embarrassment "The other one, the one at school."

The Sheriff remains silent for a moment merely staring at her in shock with hints of uncomfortable, sighing he shakes his head "You I still like, so I don't wanna know." Turning back to his son he continues to question him "So the night that you told me you were alone and Scott was at home?"

Stiles nods "Yes." Quickly he realises his mistake "No! Oh, crap!" He mumbles looking down at his feet, now he was screwed.
The Sheriff clenches his jaw "So you lied to me?"
"That depends on how you define lying."
"Well, I define it as not telling the truth. How do you define it?"

Stiles remains silent with his mouth open as he attempts to think of an answer pursing his lips for a second he exhales "Reclining your body in a horizontal position?"
Buffy's eyes widen and she shakes her head, that was shameful, everything about it.

The Sheriff merely stares in disbelief "Get the hell out of here..."
Stiles nods quickly "Absolutely." He says before running off over to his car.
