Coyote rampage
After twenty minutes Scarlett and Stiles walked around finding a coyote den must have belong to Malia, After awhile seeing that Scott hasn't come back they both went looking for him. they began running in the woods looking for him barley can see due to how dark it was they kept running till Stiles collided with another body Scarlett running into Stiles' back hitting the ground from impact she heard two voice screaming she knew both voice it was Scott and Stiles both boys calmed down once they recognized each other, Scarlett grunted from her place on the ground.
"no it's cool I'm good" she said Stiles turned to help her up
"sorry" Stiles pulled her up then turned to Scott
"I think we found something" Stiles told him
"so did I, I found Malia. Scar was right" Scott said Stiles led them to the den they walked into it
"it's a coyote den" he told Scott
"werecoyote" Scott corrected
"okay anyone but me just had a mental image of a coyote and werewolf doing it?" Scarlett said both boys turned to her with a slight annoyed look
"okay no more comments from the peanut gallery shutting up now" she said
"thank you" Stiles said making her roll her eyes
"you see this? it's Malia's remember, the same one she was wearing in the photo" Stiles said holding up her jacket
"we shouldn't be in here" Scarlett said looking around stepping away from the boys
"what do you mean?" Stiles asked
"she's right, Malia isn't going to come back we just invaded her home our scent is going to be everywhere" Scott said Scarlett began to back out of the den the boys still in it
"If she's not going to come back here where is she going to go?" Stiles asked
"I don't know" Scott said
"can you track her now? you think you got a lock on her scent?" Stiles asked
"maybe, I'm better at this when I'm a full wolf and I'm still worried that if I do it I won't be able to change back" Scott told him
"door still open" Stiles pointed out
"this is basically a crime scene right?" Scarlett asked from the opening of the den
"I think this might be a little out of my boss' league" Scott said to Stiles
"a little more my dad's" Stiles said pulling his phone out he stepped out of the den passed Scarlett
"come on Scottie lets get out of here, it gives me the chills not in the good way" she said making her way out Scott following
"so... it was Malia" she said
"yeah she's been out here this whole time" Scott said Scarlett shifted pulling her arms closer to her body trying to keep warm
"as a coyote, think she can change back?" Scarlett asked
"I'm not sure" Scott said Stiles got off his phone walked back over to the McCalls
"he should be here soon he told us to stay put, any idea what to do about Malia?" Stiles asked
"not at all...yet" she replied shaking a little
"you cold?" Stiles asked her
"just a tad" Stiles stepped forward wrapping his arms around her Scarlett wrapped her arms around his waist under his jacket stealing the warmth that was radiating off of Stiles
"better?"
"much"
After twenty minutes the sheriff a couple other police officers pulled up they inspected the den while the boys and Scarlett stayed by the sheriff's car, Stiles arms still around the freezing girl as his father approached them.
"you're sure it was her?" the sheriff asked them
"positive I saw it" Scarlett said
"I look right into her eyes and they glowed just like mine" Scott said
"it makes sense dad"
"but it wasn't a girl it was a four- legged coyote right?" sheriff asked
"well okay, but yeah, see that's the point that we don't exactly have figured out yet" Stiles said
"I kind of do it's a girl that's a coyote" Scarlett said
"if it was a full moon and she did change while her mom was driving anything could of happened" Scott said
"horrible things" Scarlett said
"ripping, tearing, shredding things" Stiles pointed out
"which is probably what caused the accident" Scott said
"think about it dad alright they're driving Malia starts to change she goes out of control..."
"because it's the full moon she doesn't have control" Scarlett said
"mom crashes the car and everyone dies" Stiles finished
"expect for Malia" Scott told the sheriff
"she blames herself, alright goes off into the woods and eventually becomes trapped in the body of a coyote" Stiles explained flailing his arms around then brought them back around his girlfriend
"that makes sense... IN A CHINESE FOLKTALE" he hissed at the boys, Stiles opened his mouth like he was going to say something but quickly shut it as Scarlett bit her lip trying to contain her laughter pulling her hands to her face hiding her smile.
"guys this... this is insane, I need this kept quite the three of you not a word to anyone about this especially Mr. Tate, Scott? Scott?" Sheriff called Scarlett looked over at her brother who looking out into the woods she saw nothing but that wasn't the same for him.
"Scott" she yelled he looked back at them
"sorry, what did you say?" he asked before the sheriff could say anything else a car pulled up and Mr. Tate and agent McCall walked out
"ah hell"
"just perfect" Scarlett mumbled
"Mr. Tate" sheriff said but his gaze was on the blanket the sheriff held in his hand, Mr. Tate took it from him
"it's hers" he said
"Alright wait here" Agent McCall said began to walk away
"Dad" Scott called out making him stop
"I'll talk to you both in a minute, I wouldn't mind hearing how your mom's okay with the two of you running around the woods this late a night especially that one who ran out the house to her boyfriend's" McCall said pointing at his daughter glaring at the two of them Stiles glared back tightening his grip on Scarlett
"that one? don't tell me you forgot my name, though after all these years of you not being here I'm surprised you can recognized us" She said
"will talk when I get back" her father said before turning leaving the three of them standing there
" I count on it Rafael" she yelled
"I seriously don't like him" Stiles said
"can we just get out of here before he gets back and tries to take me back home, I'd also like to get some sleep before school in the morning" she said
"yeah I don't think we have to be here anymore, my dad will figure it out we left" Stiles said Scott nodded in agreement they headed back to Stiles' jeep back to his house once they got to the Stilinski household Scott hopped on his bike headed back home
"you think Malia will stay or finally leave now that she knows that others know about her?" Scarlett asked changing out of her clothes into one of Stiles' over sized T-shirts
"honestly no idea" Stiles said laying back on his bed Scarlett walked over climbing in next to him
"I guess will know soon enough" she said curling up next to Stiles' not saying another word she closed her eyes falling straight to sleep
Scarlett fluttered her eyes open the next morning stretching out her limbs she groaned rolling her body over seeing Stiles already up at his desk already dressed in grey pair of jeans and a white shirt looking up at his board.
"how long have you been up?" she asked sitting up
"well I kind of never went to sleep" he admitted Scarlett got up walking toward him she snaked her arms around his waist
"It's going to be okay" she said
"are you sure, cause I'm not so sure anymore" he said Scarlett hopped on her tip toes cupping his face
"I'm sure enough for the both us baby" she said leaning up to press her lips to his for a short kiss
"okay lets go to my house so I can wear presentable clothes" she said patting Stiles' chest
"my clothes aren't presentable?" he asked
"as much as I enjoy hanging in your clothes Lydia will have my head like the queen of hearts" she said grabbing her shoes and jacket
"well I do like your head where it is"
"then lets move out"
they drove to Scarlett's house since they were together and going to the same place Scarlett decided to leave her car and ride with Stiles today. She ran up stairs for the world quickest shower throwing on a pair of skinny jeans, a crew neck sweatshirt with her tan boots letting her hair fall in its natural long curls down her back putting on a little make up before running back down the stairs to the jeep where Stiles was, hopped in and they toward the school.
"Scott and I were going to tell Alison what we found last night about the den and stuff, you coming?" Stiles asked as they walked into the school
"ah no, I've got to head to my locker" she said
"okay guess I'll see you later than" Stiles said leaning down pecking her lips then walking the opposite way.
Scarlett went off to her art class taking a seat next the strawberry blonde who was already there a couple minutes after the bell Alison ran in. They spent most of the class discussing the coyote situation once class was over Scarlett and the girls went separate ways walking down the hall till she was stopped by Kira carrying three backpacks.
"did you become the school's pack mule or something?" Scarlett joked
"I was looking for your brother and boyfriend they left their bags in class after taking Stiles to the nurse" Kira told her
"Stiles is at the nurse? is he okay?" Scarlett asked started to worry
"not sure he looked like he was going to pass out" Kira said Scarlett nodded taking Stiles' bag off her shoulder and hoisting it on hers
"well how about we find them and you can hand Scottie his bag personally, I'd bet he'd appreciate it" Scarlett said winking at Kira as she began to blush
"Ummm.. yeah so where is the nurse's office anyway" Kira asked
"down by the locker rooms come on" Scarlett led the way down the hall into the next section of the school she opened the doors to the next hall both girls stopped in their tracks to see the coyote Malia at the top of the stairs, the coyote turned snarling at the two.
"crap" Scarlett mumbled
"Oh my god" Kira whispered as it started heading toward them Scarlett grabbed Kira's hand dragging them both into the locker room slamming the door shut behind them they ran further into the locker room to hide. They both stood behind the lockers trying to catch a breath, Scarlett cursed herself for being weaponless cause lets be honest who thought a wild animal would run into the school. She looked around to see if there was anything she could to her advantage but unfortunately that failed. Kira gripped Scarlett's hand tighter when a crash came through the locker room hearing the glass hit the floor both girls leaned in further into the lockers slowing straightening back up. The growling came closer as the girls scooted themselves further away from the coyote's snarling, Scarlett felling her heartbeat faster and faster as they back up she nearly had a heart attack when she felt a hand on her shoulder but slightly relaxed when she saw it was Scott appearing out of nowhere. Scott pushed them back with one hand using his other hand to push the lockers into a domino affect scaring off the coyote. Scarlett and Kira stand firmly behind Scott as they walked slowly away from the fallen lockers once seeing that Malia was gone and they were out of danger Scott turned to the girls.
"you guys okay?"
Kira just nodded at first as she was still in shock up holding on to Scott's upper arm "thanks" she managed to say
"we're okay Scottie" Scarlett reassured
Thirty minutes later the sheriff and his deputies showed up to the school with animal control but Malia was already gone. Kira was talking to her dad on the side while Scott stood by his sister who was looking down at the ground waiting for Mr. Stilinksi to come over so she could tell him what happened she was zoning out till she heard someone calling her in a distance but slowly getting closer and louder. Scarlett looked up to see it was her boyfriend nearly tripping over his own two feet getting passed his dad's deputies to get to her. Scarlett leaped off the bench throwing her arms around Stiles as he wrapped one arm around her the other placed on her head bringing her as close as he could let out a breath of relief she wasn't hurt.
"I'm okay, I'm okay Stiles" she said pulling away a little
"you were almost mauled by a coyote and your okay?" he said looking at her like she had three heads
"well physically I'm fine, emotionally I'm ticked off and confused as why she came after us" Scarlett said Stiles looked down at his bag picking it up the three of them quite for a couple of minutes Scarlett looked over at her brother seeing him looking over at Kira talking to her father.
"Stop eavesdropping that's rude and wont earn you any points with that girl" Scarlett said slapping his arm
"what? no I- it's not, I wasn't listening and what was that suppose to mean?" Scott asked
"you like her, I can see it" Scarlett said pinching his cheek Scott swatted her hand away
"wha-what? I-I mean she's pretty, she's in my class but like her?" Scott rambled Scarlett rolled her eyes at his denial
"guys I think I know what she was after" Stiles said picking up the doll from his bag, Scarlett grabbed it out of his hands, Scott sighed heavily
"you took the doll from the car?" Scott asked
"yeah I thought you could use it, you know like for scent" Stiles admitted, Scarlett started smacking Stiles in the arm with her free hand
"I almost became coyote-chow mien because of you" she hissed still hitting him
"ow! Letty stop! ow! I'm sorry" Stiles pleaded holding his arm she suddenly stopped hearing another voice
"where did you get that? where did you find this?" Mr. Tate stepped forward with anger snatching the doll out of Scarlett's hand, the girl stepped back Stiles grabbed her by the waist pulling her into his side protectively as Scott stepped forward in front of her.
"it belong to my daughter" he said the anger turned into sorrow, the sheriff walked over standing between the teens and Mr. Tate
"Mr. Tate I don't know how you heard about this if you have your own police scanner but you can't be here" Sheriff said backing him out of the room stopping suddenly lifting Mr. Tate's jacket seeing his gun in the holster strapped to his side some reason this made Stiles grip Scarlett tighter feeling uneasy about the man as they all stared at Mr. Tate.
"wow who knew the man was packing heat" Scarlett mumbled
"I have a permit" Mr. Tate said
"California school are gun free zones, permit or no permit now you need to leave" Sheriff said backing him out the door once more
"you find that animal that thing" he yelled before leaving
"oh only if he knew" Scarlett said
"we have to work quickly" Scott said Stiles and Scarlett nodded in agreement
"Xylazine, it's a tranquilizer for horses, for a werecoyote it's expected to work in seconds, I only have three so who ever is shooting better have damn good shot" Deaton said as Scott, Scarlett, Stiles and Isaac stood in the clinic
"not I said the French fry, I'm not on that level yet" Scarlett said throwing her hands up
"Alison's a perfect shot" Scott said
"she use to be" Isaac correct
"she still as aim, that arrow was going straight between Lydia's eyes...just her focus is a little misguided" Scarlett said
"she can do it" Scott said confidently
"if we manage to find the thing" Isaac said
"85 percent sure she went back into the woods or just lurking waiting to get the doll back that my spastic boyfriend decided to take" Scarlett said looking at Stiles, he ignored her comment looking back at Isaac
"okay what is the point of him? seriously I'm mean what is his purpose aside from the persistent negativity and the scarf, what's up with the scarf it's 65 degrees out" Stiles rambled
"hey, I like the scarf it's cute" Scarlett said
"excuse me?" Stiles said a bit annoyed
"I mean that in a friendly way, my god" she said
"look maybe I'm asking the question no one here wants to answer, how do we turn a coyote back into a girl when she hasn't been a girl in eight years" Isaac said
"I can do it" Scott said
"you can?" Stiles and Scarlett said in disbelief
"you remember the night peter trapped us in the school? in the gym he made me change just by using his voice the same with Deucalion in the distillery" Scott said
"this is a werecoyote Scott who knows if it will even work, if you can find some one who can teach you" Deaton said
"that's why you called Derek first" Stiles said
"yeah I could try on my own, but right now I'm too scared to even change into just a werewolf" Scott admitted
"we need a real alpha" Stiles said they looked over at the boy
"ouch" Scarlett said
"you know what I mean, an alpha who can do alpha things you know an alpha who can get it going you know, who can get it..."
"up?" Isaac questioned Scarlett bit her lip holding in her laughter
"great, I'm an alpha with performance issue" Scott said that's when she lost it uncontrollably laughing holding onto her side
"I-I'm s-sorry can we use different words cause it's beginning to sound like a werewolf Viagra commercial" she said between giggles
"glad you find this amusing" Scott said to her
"you know your beginning not to be any help either" Stiles said
"bite me Stilinski" she fired back
"is there anyone else besides Derek?" Deaton asked
"I wouldn't trust Peter" Isaac said
"I second that" Stiles said
"how about the twins?" Scarlett asked
"they aren't alphas anymore, what Jennifer did almost killing them it broke that part of them" Deaton said
"yeah but they still know how to do it, they were alphas" Scarlett said
"nobody's seen them for weeks" Scott said
"well that's not totally true" Stiles said looking at Scarlett, Scott and Isaac looked over at the petite girl
"you know?" Scott asked
"I may or may not still be in contact with them" she said nonchalantly
"what?" Scott and Isaac yelled
"no werewolf yelling, Stiles rants about it enough and they did save my life protecting me. Ethan's not so bad plus Lydia keeps in contact with Aiden" she said putting air quotes over in contact
"trust me I don't like it either" Stiles said looking at Scott
"fine, can you get them?" Scott asked, Scarlett pulled out her phone texting Ethan
"don't like this" Stiles mumbled
"it's the only thing we got so lock up your comments to the side" she said
They finally made it to Derek's loft, Scarlett and Stiles fighting the whole way there about how she still talks to the twins, her comments earlier but once they got there the two put it aside for later. Stiles opened the door to the loft him and Scarlett walked down the steps into the empty room.
"they said they would meet us here" she said looking around then her and Stiles turn around hearing a smack looking back to see the twins punching Scott then sending him forward, Stiles grabbed Scarlett by her shoulders backing her away from the three werewolves as Scott got back up the twins began to punch him again in the face, stomach anywhere they could. Scarlett threw her hands to her face covering her eyes from the scene in front of her, it's hard to watch your brother get beat up. Her brother laid there on the cold ground spitting out blood groaning.
"I thought you guys were going to teach me how to roar" Scott said slowly getting back up
"we are you do it by giving in" Aiden said
"giving in and letting go, that's the way Deucalion taught us control" Ethan said
"hey you know that's funny I tried something like this before with lacrosse balls and a heart monitor but you're right beating the crap out of him is probably a lot better" Stiles said
"that's the plan? you guys kick my ass?" Scott asked
"your afraid to turn, we're going to make you" Aiden said
"then you start kicking our asses, then you roar" Ethan said on que Aiden let out a loud roar
"you afraid you'll hurt us come on, we can always heal, fight back" Aiden said throwing another punch
"what if I can't control it? what if I can't change back"
"then it takes over you become like Malia you get further away from being human you turn into an animal or worse" Ethan said
"you turn into Peter" Aiden said
Scarlett clutched onto Stiles shirt looking away as they kicked and punch Scott, Stiles place a hand on her small back
"come on Scott fight back" Stiles whispered
Scott got back up screaming charging toward Aiden to attack but Aiden lifted him up slamming him onto the metal table punching him, punch after punch Scott made no progress Ethan grabbed his brother pulling him back.
"I thought we were suppose to be helping" Aiden yelled
"you helped too much" Ethan said Aiden looked back at the weak beaten alpha with blood all over his face Aiden hopped off the table. Scarlett walked over helping Scott sit up.
"thanks boys for helping... I'd better get him home" Scarlett said throwing her brother's arm over her shoulder helping him off the table
"help? you call what they did helping?" Stiles said annoyed
"they tried something okay, it was their way" she snapped back as the made their way down to the jeep
"it was pain" Scott said
"what do you mean?"
"pain keeps you human" he replied
"that's why you wouldn't change up there or get angry" Scarlett said
"will figure this out Scottie" she said
"we can always try lacrosse balls again seemed to be affective" Stiles said Scarlett just playfully rolled her eyes
Scarlett woke up the next morning thrashing around in her sheets screaming her body soaked she sat up still screaming till Scott and Isaac barged in, her brother running to her side grabbing her shoulders.
"Scar, it's okay your safe" he yelled trying to calm the girl, she finally stopped looking at them with horror across her face
"what happened?" Isaac asked
"they came out the dark.. these guys with mask and swords... t-they c-came out the dark" she said her hands shaking Scott took a hold of her shaking hands
"it's okay nothing is going to get you, I promise" he said pushing her hair out of her face they sat there in silence for a couple minutes Scarlett finally completely calm now.
"ew, I'm sweaty and nasty like after gym when Bobby makes us run laps cause he thinks it's funny just waiting for Greenburg to fall on his face" she said getting up
"did you just coach by his frist name?" Scott asked
"yep, he hates it and I used it against him, why do you think he doesn't call on me in class?" she said grabbing her clothes from the closet
"I thought it was because you tried to broadcast your sex life" Isaac said
"that too"
"okay I take this conversation as a sign that you're alright?" Scott asked
"yep now, lets go help Malia" she said walking away to hop into the shower getting rid of the sweat from last her nightmare. Scarlett pulled on a muscle T shirt that said young love across it with printed flowers throwing on grey skinny jeans her brown leather jacket with brown boots to match. She walked back into her room throwing her hair into a French braid lastly grabbing her daggers stuffing them in her boots knowing this will be a long not easy day.
Stiles, Scarlett and Lydia pulled up in the jeep just as Scott did on his bike to the preserve not too long after Isaac and Alison. They all got out the cars just gazing at one another not really saying what they were all thinking.
"anyone else thinking we might be doing more harm than good" Lydia spoke up
"we're trying to keep a father from killing his own daughter" Scott said
"actually we're trying to keep a guy from killing a coyote who's actually his daughter" Isaac said
"who were still not sure we can change back" Scarlett said
"again with the not helping, and you don't contribute" Stiles said pointing at his girlfriend who stuck her hands up in defense Scott ignored them while Alison pulled out her weapon from the trunk holding it close, suddenly they all heard shots fired coming from inside the woods in seconds Scott got on his bike driving into the preserve.
"wait! Scott wait, wait" Stiles yelled
"than there were five" Lydia said just than Issac took off
"Isaac!" Alison and Scarlett yelled running after him
"hey! wait Letty!" Stiles yelled but she was already gone
both girls chased after Isaac further and further into the woods trailing behind
"Isaac, Isaac wait" Alison yelled out from behind following his footsteps a little behind Scarlett since the petite light brown hair brunette was faster, hearing a sudden scream from Isaac Scarlett ran faster till she spotted him kneeling on the floor his leg stuck in a bear trap.
"oh...oh my- Isaac" she said bearly forming a sentence looking at the trap as Alison came up behind them
"Alison there he is, hit Tate use the tranq on him" Issac said to her. Scarlet was focus on the trap trying to get Issac out somehow looking for something
"I-I don't know how to get this crap open" she said but Isaac wasn't paying attention he was looking at Alison who was shaking trying to concentrate pointing her gun at Tate pulling the trigger she release it into the tree next to him.
"Alison, Alison breathe" Isaac told her
"you can do this" Scarlett chimed in looking at Alison then back to Isaac but he was no longer there neither was Alison. Scarlett stood up in confusion seeing she was in a different part of the woods now it was dark out.
"Scott? Stiles?" she called out but got no answer, Scarlett looked over seeing the man wrapped in bandages from her dream before
"we're coming for them all, we're going to kill them all" the man roared Scarlett stepped back
"who's we?" She asked
"you'll soon find out" he said Scarlett heard a faint roar pulling her away from the man she blinked seeing it was day light, the car wreck to her left, behind her was Scott transformed and in front of her was Malia but no longer a coyote she was a human Scott walked over to Scarlett.
"you okay? how'd you get here?" he asked
"I don't know I was with Isaac then I was here" she said looking over at the confused, dazed naked Malia Scarlett looked over to her brother
"Jacket" she demanded
"what?"
"give me your jacket, yours is bigger covers more unless you want her walking around in her birthday suit, that will be awkward for a lot of people" she said
Scott handed her his jacket slowly walking over to Malia not to scare her
"I'm not here to hurt you only help" Scarlett spoke softly placing the jacket around Malia she stuck her hand out to help the girl up, Malia caustically took it
"we're going to take you somewhere safe okay?" she said Malia stayed quite as they all walked back to where Lydia and Stiles were
"oh thank god, don't run off like that again" Stiles said trapping her in a bear hug
"Stiles can't breathe" she said
"come on lets get her to the station" Scott said leading Malia to the jeep
After the police station Scarlett left with Scott going back home, Stiles stayed behind with his dad making sure she got home.
"so you can transform now does this mean your back to normal? well your type of normal?" she asked walking into the kitchen of their home
"I hope so" Scott said
"me too" she said eating chocolate sitting on the counter while Scott left the room she sat there thinking about today and the man wrapped in bandages what he had told her. Scarlett had no idea what it meant was worried about it but soon enough she was pulled out of her thoughts by the front door opening and shutting.
"Letty!" Stiles yelled throught the house she immediately hopped down throwing her candy into the cabinet turning around to see her smiling boyfriend running toward her, Scarlett let out a soft innocent smile.
"what's up buttercup" she said
"I'm going ignore what you just called me cause I can read again, I can read!" he said picking her up off the ground
"that's great babe" she said before he crashed his lips to hers still holding her up till she pulled away
"what?" she asked seeing a funny expression on his face
"you taste like chocolate" he said putting her back down
"what? chocolate no, not here must be the lip gloss it suppose to be chocolate flavored you know" she said looking away
"no because I know for a fact you use vanilla and you didn't close the cabinet all the way and the bag fell out" Stiles said pointing to the cabinet behind her
"damn it" Stiles reached over behind her taking the bag away
"no you can't I'm a choc-aholic I need it" she said
"first step is admitting the problem" Stiles said over his shoulder as he left the room
"but I don't want to be cleansed" she whined, lucky for her Stiles hasn't found her other hiding spots so for now she'll let him think he's won.
Hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween
