Teen Eagle
It is night and Scott and Lydia are coming out of the school building and jogging hand in hand to the buses.
"Haha, where are you taking me?" Lydia asks Scott.
"Somewhere where we can be alone." Scott replies grinning.
"We are alone." Lydia says.
"Somewhere where we can be more alone." Scott says opening the door of one of the buses.
Both Teens get in still holding hands and let go of each other when they reach the back part of the bus and sit on seats across from each other in the same row. Both Teens try to get the other one to make the first move and try to look sexy and in Lydias case also innocent.
Scott decides the few seconds of waiting are enough, stands up and walks towards Lydia who was still lying back on her seat and kisses her. After a long deep kiss Scott then kisses her neck and his hand which was on the back of her seat started to change into his talons. Feeling himself loosing control and shifting Scott stops kissing her and leans against the seat infront of them.
Lydia asks concerned "what's wrong?" not knowing what caused Scott to stop.
Scott shifting further says "get away." in order to protect her from himself.
Scott now completely shifted turns around slowly while telling her "get away from me."
Lydia now seeing Scott transformed walks backwards toward the bus door while gasping a shocked "Scott.". After a few steps she then turns around and breaks off in a full sprint in hopes to get away from whatever Scott became. But she doesn't get far as Scotts hand grabs her by her ankle and jerks her foot off the floor with her falling to the ground. Scott now dragging Lydia over the floor of the bus with her trying to hold onto the pipes securing the seats to the floor but failing against Scotts increased strength has lost the fight against his inner animal and is giving in to the need to feed on prey. When they get to the very back of the bus Lydia turns around and kicks Scott of herself and gets back to running towards the exit while whimpering along the way from the shock of being attacked from what she thought is a friend. Lydia getting to the door stumbles and looks back while screaming terrified to see Scott rip out one of the seats with one hand and then hurl it towards her.
Lydia still screaming for help gets the bus door partly open only for Scott to silence her by holding his hand over her mouth and dragging her back into the bus and slams her into the bus door.
|Scotts bedroom|
"Holy fuck!" Scott yells jerking away and quickly taking in his surrounding recognizing his bedroom then relaxes. "Oh man that was one fucked up realistic dream." Scott says falling back on his mattress covering his eyes with one hand. The alarm clock then beeps. "Man and now I gotta get ready for school already."
|school hallways|
Scott and Stiles get into the school building having met up in front of it like usual.
"So you killed her." Stiles guesses, being filled in on Scotts weird dream just now.
"I don't know I just woke up and I was sweating like crazy and I couldn't breathe. I never had a dream where I woke up like that before." Scott answers unsure.
"Really? I have, usually ends up in a different end." Stiles says as they make their way through school.
"A) I've never had a dream that felt that real and B) never give me that much detail about you in bed again." Scott replies.
"Noted! Let me take a guess here." Stiles begins to say but was interrupted by Scott saying "No I know you think it has something to do with me kissing Lydia the other night. Like I'm gonna loose control if it happens again and rip her throat out."
"No, of course not. Yeah that's totally it." Stiles says after glancing at Scott.
"Hey come on it's gonna be fine, personally I think you're handling this pretty amazingly, you know it's not like there is a lycanthropie for beginners class you can take." Stiles says hoping to cheer Scott up a bit.
"Yeah not a class but maybe a teacher." Scott tells Stiles.
"Who, Derek? You forget the part where we got him tossed in jail?" Stiles shouts hitting Scott on the back of his head.
"Yeah I know, but it's just chasing her, dragging her to the back of the bus it all felt so real." Scott says lost in thought.
"How real?" Stiles asks.
"Like it actually happened." Scott says getting to the same doors he dreamt, he and Lydia came out of in order to get to the buses and freezes at the sight before him.
In front of them was a bus with a ripped of back door and blood splatter all over the bus, inside and outside.
"I think it did." Stiles says shocked watching the police working on the crime scene.
Getting back in the school hallways Stiles tells Scott "she is probably fine."
"She isn't answering my text Stiles!" Scott replies shook up and beginning to look around himself in search of a strawberry blonde Lydia who he may or may not have killed.
"You know that could just be a coincidence right?" Stiles asks helping Scott look for Lydia.
With a "just help me find her OK?" Scotts panic begins to take over and he looks around with even more vigor and then stops at a locker, feeling his pulse rising and feeling as though he may shift. Punching the locker he begins to calm down but still breathing hard. Scott then walks backwards still looking around and feels someone crashing into him, hearing books fall to the ground due to the collision. Turing around Scott sees Lydia who says "What the hell Scott? Don't just run me of all people over." annoyed that her books were scattered on the ground. Scott relieved by seeing her alive just says "You're OK." smiling for the first time that day.
"As soon as you help me collect these, yeah." Lydia says kneeling and picking up her books, Scott joining her hastily and looking deep into her eyes. Lydia seeing him stop looks up, back into his eyes and asks "What?" expectantly.
"I'm just happy to see you." Scott replies still really happy that his dream was only that, a dream.
Over the speaker they then hear "Attention students, this is your principal. I know you're all wondering about the incident that occurred last night, on one of our buses. While the police work to determine what happened classes will proceed as scheduled, thank you." with everybody around groaning at hearing that they won't be getting any class free days.
Lydia now standing with her books in hands again looks at Scott and asks "Safe me a seat at lunch?" taking of towards her class after brushing over Scotts arm.
"Yeah." Scott says staring after her as she walks of towards class. Scott then makes his way back towards his class and sees Jackson fumbling with the dented locker door Scott had punched.
Jackson seeing Scott looking at him asks "What are you looking at asswipe?" angrily.
|chemistry class|
Scott and Stiles were sitting in class with Scott one row before Stiles and saying "maybe it was my blood." Scott turns around to his best friend.
"Could have been animal blood. You know, maybe you caught a rabbit or something" Stiles replies.
"And did what?" Scott asks.
"Ate it?" Stiles answers.
"Raw?" Scott questions shocked.
"No you stopped and baked it in your little werebird oven. I don't know you're the one who can't remember anything." Stiles replies not noticing that their teacher had finished writing on the board and was getting annoyed at Scott and him talking.
"Mr. Stilinski if that's your idea of a hushed whisper you might wanna pull the headphones out every once in a while. I think you and Mr. McCall would benefit from a little distance, yes?" Their teacher says.
"No." Stiles says disappointed while Scott stands up grabs his stuff and moves to the front tow.
"Let me know if the separation anxiety gets to be to much." the teacher says cockily.
The girl next to Scott suddenly stands up and makes her way to the windows saying "Hey I think they found something!" Everyone follows her lead and moves closer to the window to see what is going on. Looking out the window they see a badly hurt man being transported to an ambulance.
Scott turning to Stiles says "that's not a rabbit." shocked that he probably hurt or killed that man.
Suddenly the man jumps up screaming and everyone in the class takes a step back scared by the sudden movement.
"OK, this is good, this is good, he got up he is not dead. Dead guys can't do that." Stiles tells Scott in order to calm him down.
"Stiles I did that." Scott says still shocked by the fact that it was most likely him who attacked the man.
|cafeteria|
"But dreams aren't memories." Stiles argues carrying his tablet with food alongside Scott who was carrying his own and sitting down at an empty row of seats.
"Then it wasn't a dream, something happened last night and I can't remember what." Scott replies.
"What makes you so sure that Derek even has all the answers?" Stiles questions Scott.
"Because during the full moon he wasn't changed he was in total control, while I was running around in the middle of the night attacking some totally innocent guy." Scott explains
"You don't know that." Stiles says wishing he could get Scott to be more optimistic.
"I don't not know it. I can't go out with Lydia, I have to cancel." Scott says thinking that if he keeps his distance from Lydia she will be safer.
"No you're not canceling. OK you can't just cancel your entire life. We'll figure it out." Stiles tells Scott.
Lydia then approach the two carrying her own food. Sitting down next to Scott Lydia asks curiously "figure what out?".
"Uh just a homework." Scott replies.
"I thought I already helped you with everything." Lydia questions doubtfully.
"We got new homework in class just now." Stiles then says hoping that Lydia will buy it.
"I don't believe you two but I won't pry, this time." Lydia tells them.
Danny and Allison approach and take a seat next to each side of Stiles.
"Hey." Allison says greeting Stiles who takes her hand, interlocks their fingers and also says "Hey." smiling at her.
Just then Jackson approaches Scott from behind saying "Get up."
"What? No!" Scott replies.
"What do you want Jackson?" Lydia adds.
"I want to talk to you in order for us to get back together obviously." Jackson replies.
"I don't think that will happen. In fact I got a date tomorrow." Lydia says.
"You a date? Hah." Jackson laughs.
"What you don't believe me? Then just ask Scotty here. He is my date. In fact I was thinking we could double date. You and Stiles, me and Scott." Lydia says turning to Allison near the end.
"Ah well two losers on a date it's like you're made for each other. Good luck on your snooze fest." Jackson says grunting and walking away.
Seeing that Jackson is away Scott turns to Lydia with a raised eyebrow.
Seeing the look on Scotts face Lydia then sighs "sorry I pulled you into it. I just didn't want him to think I'm waiting for him to somehow win me back, that is not acceptable."
"Well that's OK I guess, I understand where you're coming from, too bad it's not a real date." Scott says blurting the last part out without realizing it and then clamping his hand in front of his mouth realizing what he has done.
"Oh, you want to go on a date with me? How surprising." Lydia says sarcastically. "Well I guess it could be fun to do a double date. I never had one since Jackson always wanted to have the full attention. Ah what the hell let's try it, you in?" Lydia then decides and looking towards Allison, who nods her confirmation.
"Oh and Scotty don't think one date will make you instantly my boyfriend." Lydia teases him.
Danny then decides that this was enough talking about dates for him and changes the subject by saying "So I'm hearing that they think it was some kind of animal attack. Probably a cougar."
"Oh and I just found out who it is, check it out." Stiles says finishing loading a video on his handy and holding it so that everyone can see whats on it. The video is a reportage on the incident with the school bus and identifies the victim as Garrison Meyers and says that he survived the attack and is currently in the hospital in critical condition.
Seeing the victims photo int the video Scott says "I know this guy."
"You do?" Danny asks
"Yeah when I used to take the bus when I have been practically living with my dad. He was the driver." Scott says getting lost in thoughts.
"Well can we get back to something a little more fun please? Oh where should we go tomorrow night?" Lydia asks with the question mainly directed at Allison since she was sure that the boys would be OK with whatever she and Allison would come up with.
"Well I don't want to be sitting at home watching Lacrosse videos again as my usual dates went, so we're doing something fun." Lydia says.
"Well do you have an idea Stiles? And you don't mind a double date right?" Allison asks.
"No I like the idea of having a double date, but as to what we could do I got nothing." Stiles answers smiling at Allison thankful that she wants him to enjoy the date too.
"Hmm looks like I have to come up with something myself." Lydia says.
After a brief moment she exclaimed "How about bowling?"
"Well.." Scott begins but gets cut off by Lydia whispering to him "You know when I bowl I get all riled up and maybe I will want to kiss a certain someone again."
"I think it's a great idea." Scott then exclaims changing his mind immediately while looking at Stiles with pleading eyes.
"Alright I'm in." Stiles folds because of Scotts pleading look.
"Well I guess we're going bowling then." Allison says sounding excited.
|hallway|
After eating up and saying goodbye to the girls Scott and Stiles walk to the parking space where Stiles has his Jeep and Scott his bike.
"You're a terrible bowler." Stiles tells Scott.
"I know, I'm such an idiot but you didn't hear what she told me." Scott says explaining himself.
"Yeah and I probably don't want to know. But anyway I got to say the whole double date thing is a bit relief for me. First of all I got my buddy with me to watch my babbling and secondly I won't be the worst bowler of the group. Since we both know you will take that honor." Stiles says.
"Yeah yeah, I suck at bowling I know hopefully Lydia won't mind playing with an unskilled newbie, or maybe we can convince them to a girls vs guys?" Scott suggests.
"Oh no my friend, you got yourself into this mess by agreeing to a bowling date and I won't get an instant loose just because you don't want to suck while on Lydias team." Stiles teases.
"Well thanks for the vote of confidence, oh man I'm gonna be late for work." Scott says looking at his handy.
|animal clinic|
Scott has hurried to get to work and puts his bike next to the sign out front and rushes in headed for the exam room where Deaton already is waiting.
"I'm sorry." Scott says opening the door of the exam room.
"You're all of two minutes late." Daeton says checking what was brought to them in a package.
"I just don't want you to think I'm slacking." Scott says putting his backpack in a corner of the room where it won't get in the way.
"Scott, I guarantee you you're one of the least slacking kids in this town." Deaton says while walking over to where Scott was standing and putting away the package to which Scott can only smile in response. Scott then turns around and sees the Sheriff wearing sunglasses standing infront of the door of the exam room opening it to come in.
Scott thinks that he is in trouble because they found some kind of evidence against him at the crime scene, but relaxes when he sees that the Sheriff came with one of their police dogs.
Deaton hearing the door open turns around and says "Hey, I see somebody is ready to get their stitches out." while walking toward the dog.
"Hey there Scott you staying out of trouble?" Mr. Stilinski greets Scott.
Deaton puts the dog on the table in order to examine him and remove his stitches.
Sheriff Stilinski then takes out a folder with pictures handing them to Deaton saying "Hey listen, while I'm here you mind taking a look at those pictures I was telling you about? Sacramento still can't determine the animal."
"I'm not exactly an expert. Uh, is this the guy who was attacked in the bus?" Deaton asks taking the pictures out of the folder in order to see if he can notice anything on them that might help the police.
"Yeah. And we fo und wolf hairs on Laura Hales body." Stilinski answers.
Scott listening to them and getting on edge asks "A wolf? Uhm, I mean I think I read somewhere that wolves haven't been in California for like sixty years."
"True enough, but wolves are highly migratory they could have wondered in from another state driven by impulse or strong enough memory." Deaton explains.
"Wolves have memories?" Scott questions.
"Longer term memories, yes. If associated with a primal drive. See this one here?" Deaton says pointing at a scratch on the victims face and shifting back to what the Sheriff was asking about.
"Those are claw marks. A wolf would have gone for the throat and spinal cord with its teeth." He further explains.
"So what do you think? It's a mountain lion?" Mr. Stilinski asks.
"I don't know, a wolf could chase down its prey hobbling it by tearing into the ankles. And then the throat." Deaton says wondering what might have attacked the victim. Hearing this Scott gets a flashback of grabbing Lydias ankle and dragging her through the bus.
The Sheriff thanks Deaton for his insight and leaves after the dog is treated. The rest of Scotts shift was pretty uneventful, a few pets being checked up on, nothing special.
|hospital|
After finishing his shift Scott swings by the hospital after getting some takeout in order to bring it to his mother. Walking in the hospital Scott makes his way to the nurses station and his mother sees him coming looking as though he wants something. "Uh is my beautiful, talented and wonderful son actually bringing me dinner?" Melissa asks.
"Yeah thought you wouldn't mind skipping the cafeteria tonight." Scott replies grinning.
"You are the most thoughtful, loving, most conniving little con artist ever. You are so not getting the car tomorrow night." having heard about the date from Scott when he texted her to check up on her.
"Mom." Scott says shocked.
"What? I mean there is a curfew so no car. But I will take this. Love you" Melissa explains while taking the food Scott brought and making her way to the break room.
"Love you too." Scott replies turning around and wanting to get home but he smells blood and approaches the door at the end of the hall opening it to see the victim of the animal attack lying in his bed. Scott asks "Mr. Meyers, are you OK?" only for Meyers to start shaking and grabs Scotts arm. Melissa heard the alarm go off in Meyers room and rushes in to see him grabbing Scotts arm
"The hell are you doing in here? Get out." She yells at Scott who was scared by the sudden reaction of Mr. Myres.
|Hale house|
A police officer steps out of his car and looks around talking to the police radio saying "Looks pretty deserted dispatch, you want me to take a look inside?" A voice answers "Unit 16 this is county property you have to make sure it's vacant."
"I don't think anyone's home." He replies looking at the house getting a weird vibe coming off it.
"For the love of god 16 go inside, see if anyone's in there." the voice says getting annoyed.
"Copy that." the officer says. After he makes two steps towards the house the police dog in the back of his car barks. Turning to the dog the officer says "don't do that.". He then gets to looking at the house and when he gets close to it the dog starts barking non stop now. Unnoticed by the officer Derek Hale is standing at a window and is shifting a bit to get the dog to freak out and panic.
Noticing the dog panicking the officer gets back into the car saying "I'm coming." and drives off freaked out by what just happened.
After the police officer drives off Derek sees Scott approaching his house and Scott says "I know you can here me, I need your help."
Derek gets downstairs and steps out of the house looking at Scott expectantly.
Scott then begins explaining his problem. "OK, I know I was part of you getting arrested and that we basically announced you being here to the hunters, also don't know what happened to your sister. But I think I did something last night, I had a dream about someone, but someone else got hurt and it turns out that that part of the dream might have actually happened."
"You think you attacked the driver?" Derek asks knowing what Scott was talking about.
"Did you see what I did last night?" Scott asks freaked.
"No." Derek answers.
"Then can you please tell me the truth, am I gonna hurt someone?" Scott questions.
"Yes." Derek replies without hesitation.
"Could I kill someone?" Scott asks scared of the answer.
"Yes." Derek answers.
"Am I gonna kill someone?" Scott asks now completely terrified.
"Probably." Derek says still stoic as ever.
Scott leans against a post and Derek follows him saying "Look, I can show you how to remember. I can show you how to control the shift even on a full moon. But it's not gonna come for free." Derek begins to bargain.
"What do you want?" Scott asks feeling helpless.
"You'll find out. But for now I'm gonna give you what you want. Go back to the bus, go inside, see it, feel it, let your senses, your sight, smell, touch, let them remember for you." Derek advises.
"So I just go back?" Scott asks.
"Do you wanna know what happened?" Derek replies.
"I just wanna know if I hurt him." Scott says.
"No you don't. You wanna know if you'll hurt her." Derek guesses.
Scott then thanks Derek for the advise and calls Stiles to meet up later and drive to the school parking lot in order for him to find out what happened.
|school parking lot|
Scott and Stiles drive up to the closed gate in Stiles Jeep. Getting out and approaching the gate Scott tells Stiles "Hey no, just me someone needs to keep watch."
"How come I'm always the guy who's keeping watch?" Stiles asks feeling left out.
"Cause there is only two of us."Scott argues.
"OK, why is it starting to feel as if you're Batman and I'm Robin? I don't wanna be Robin all the time." Stiles says disappointed.
"Nobody's Batman and Robin any of the time." Scott tells him.
"Not even some of the time?" Stiles asks shocked.
"Just stay here." Scott says loosing his patience
"Oh my god." Stiles exclaims giving up.
Scott then jumps the fence and approaches the bus where the driver got attacked.
Closing his eyes he remembers being in bed and hearing a loud howling causing him to partly shift and wake up. Scott walks towards the bus door and touches it remembering Lydias screaming face pressed against it. His heart is pounding and he is scared but he has to know, opens the door and gets in the bus. Walking in the bus while looking around he touches a seat and gets a flashback to a screaming Lydia being dragged over the floor when suddenly in the flashback Lydia changed into Mr. Myres shocked Scott lets go and walks further into the bus suddenly seeing a seat being thrown towards him. He throws his arms up to defend himself only for it to disappear again, breathing heavily Scott looks at the floor and sees the screaming face of Myres looking up at him while grabbing for then remembers holding Myres hand in order to help him hind that he was slashed by a clawed hand.
Jumping back Scott looks at his hands, when Stiles starts beeping because he can see flashlights approaching. Scott runs out of the bus, using a car as a springboard he flips over the fence lands in a roll and gets into Stiles Jeep telling him to start driving away.
When they start driving away Stiles asks "Did it work? Did you remember?"
"Yeah I was there last night. And the blood, a lot of it was mine." Scott tells Stiles holding onto the edge of the roof for balance, since he doesn't have a seat belt on.
"So you did attack him?" Stiles asks.
"No. I saw glowing eyes in the bus but they weren't mine it was Derek." Scott says.
"And what about the driver?" Stiles questions.
"I tried to protect him." Scott replies.
"Wait what why would Derek help you remember that he attacked the driver?" Stiles asks confused.
"That's what I don't get." Scott says equally confused.
"It's gotta be a pack thing." Stiles guesses.
"What do you mean?" Scott asks curious.
"Like an initiation. You do the kill together." explains.
"Because ripping someones throat out is a real bonding experience?" Scott retorts.
"Yeah but you didn't do it, which means you're not a killer. And it also means .." Stiles says.
"I can go out with Lydia." Scott finishes smiling.
"I was gonna say it means you won't kill me." Stiles tells Scott.
"Oh yeah. That too." Scott replies having totally forgotten about that.
AN: next time: group date and fight.
