The next morning Scott, Scout, and Stiles were standing outside before school started when Stiles relayed the information his father had received.
"She ate the liver?" Scott asked sounding one part disgusted and one part amused.
" No, I didn't say she ate it. I just said it was missing. And you know what? Even if she did, so what? It's the most nutritious part of the body." Stiles replied back.
Scout cringed in disgust from her from her place in between the two boys.
" I never ate anyone's liver."
"Yeah, right, 'cause when it comes to werewolves, you're a real model of self - control." Stiles scoffed at Scott.
"Hey leave Scotty alone. We all know that if you became a werewolf much worse things would happen. Like you roaming beacon hills as a naked wolf boy or something." Scout said lightly hitting Stiles.
"Hey, you're supposed to be on my side" Stiles whined at her.
"Anyways, wait - hold on. You're the test case for this, Scott, so we should be going over what happened to you. "
"What do you mean?" Scott asked confused.
"Before you answer let's walk and talk. I don't want to be late for class again." Scout said butting in. She looped her arms through both Scott and Stiles before dragging them both into school.
" I mean like what was going through your mind when you were turning, you know? What were you drawn to?" Stiles continued
"Allison." Scott replied with no hesitation.
"Okay, nothing else? Seriously?"
Scott hesitated in his steps for a second his eyes flickering down to look at Scout and then back up at Stiles."No, nothing else. But, no, that's good, though, right? 'Cause the night that Lydia was bit, she was with you guys, right?
"Yeah, but she was looking for Jackson." Scout grumbled rolling her eyes.
Scout could hear Scott and Stiles whispering from their seats on the other side of the classroom. Scout was seated across from Jackson, which she usually didn't mind because surprisingly, when Jackson wasn't being a giant ass, Scout and Jackson got along great.
" This is a pop quiz, Mr. Stilinski. If I hear your voice again, I may be tempted to give you detention for the rest of your high school career." said finally catching on to Scott and Stiles.
"Can you do that?" Stiles asked with a baffled expression. Causing Scout to groan under her breath and facepalm at Stiles stupidity. Jackson chuckled at her response.
"Well, there it is again. Your voice. Triggering the only impulse I've ever had to strike a student repeatedly and violently. I'll see you at 3:00 for detention. You too, Mr. McCall?"
"No sir" Scott answered sheepishly
Scout had returned to trying to take her quiz when she glanced up and sucked in a breath, seeing that Jackson's nose was dripping black blood onto his paper.
"Jack, your nose is bleeding. Are you okay?" Scout whispered to Jackson, concerned.
Jackson gave Scout a confused look and held his hand up to his face and upon seeing the black blood on his fingers, got up whispered something to Harris and rushed out of the classroom.
Scout stared out after Jackson worriedly and shrugged when Stiles looked back at her in confusion.
After last period Scout and Allison were walking back from their french class together.
"So you're going to be okay?" Scout asked Allison, arms locked as they walked together.
"Yes Scout, for the fifth time today. I promise I will be fine." Allison sighed tiredly.
Arriving at her locker Allison placed her last period books in and grabbed her dress for Kate's funereal.
Allison draped the dress over her arm and was about to close the locker before she noticed a little paper was stuck in the slots.
Tugging it loose she unfolded it and smiled, reading what was written on it.
Scout rested her head on Allison's shoulder trying to read what the note read. 'Because I love you.'
"Oh barf." Scout said mimicking herself throwing up. "You guys are so cute it's nauseating."
Allison smiled in amusement and turned to face Scout "What? Doesn't Stiles do things like that for you?"
"Nah we aren't a really mushy couple." Scout replied.
Allison opened her mouth to reply when the boy who had the locker next to her interrupted and said "nice dress."
Scout looked over at the kid weirdly and then turned around to see Allison smiling awkwardly at the boy.
"Nice camera."
"Yeah okay." Scout said a little weirded out by that encounter.
"See you later Alli, I love you. Call me if you need me." Scout hugged Allison and went to pull away before she whispered "oh and it looks like Scott is trying to get your attention behind you.
The second Scout got home both Scott and Stiles were texting her, asking her to come to the funereal. Scout had immediately texted no way. There was no way she was going to that bitch's funereal.
Scout placed her backpack on her bed before contemplating wether she should actually start her homework, or take a bath and relax.
She shrugged to herself before letting out a "meh" sound and turning towards her bathroom door.
Scout turned on the faucet and prepared herself to finally relax and to take her first bath since the night of the winter formal. The night Peter bit her.
Scout stuck her feet in first and then slowly sunk into the bath. The water was so relaxing that she felt like she was melting.
Scout closed her eyes and the water felt like it was drawing all of the stress out of her body, like it was energizing her. It made her body come alive.
Without noticing Scout began to sink lower and lower into the water until she was fully submerged in the water.
She was so amerced in the water she didn't notice her mother calling her name for dinner.
Scout's mother headed towards Scout's room, confused when she didn't get reply.
She opened Scout's bedroom door to see the light on in the bathroom. She tried to turn the door handle, but it was locked.
"Scout? What are you doing in there" She questioned.
After again not receiving a reply, Scout's mother started to panic.
She started to bang on the door. Nothing.
Gasping for air she pulled the hair clip out of her hair and picked the lock successfully, rushing into the bathroom to see what appeared to be her daughter drowning.
She screamed in horror and threw herself at the bathtub, Wrenching her daughter's head from out of the water
Scout emerged sputtering and coughing. Confused she opened her eyes and looked around.
"What's going on? Mom? Are you okay?" Scout asked confused leaning forward to drain the bathtub.
Scout's mother just continued to sob. Not answering she wrapped Scout in a towel and held her to her chest sobbing.
Scout weakly protested pushing on her mothers chest. "Mom, I'm fine. I swear."
"No, I knew I should have had the doctor look over that scratch you got over winter break. You've been acting strange and ... are you suicidal? If theres something wrong, if this was an attempt to take your life-"
"Mom! No! I wasn't trying to hurt myself. I just..." Scout couldn't actually explain what had happened in the bathtub. "You just have to believe me mom. You know me. I would never leave you and Cassie alone. Especially after everything we've been through with Cassie. "
Cassie was Scout's older sister. Who happened to be transgender. The last few years in the Hampton household had been hard on them all. Before Cassie had told the family how she felt, about how she didn't feel right in her body. She had tried to kill herself, scared and unable to understand how she felt.
After that Scout promised she would always take care of her family and she would never leave them.
Scout separated from her mom and looked her in the eyes.
"I'm okay. I'm sorry for worrying you." Scout pleaded earnestly
"I'm sorry Scout. I shouldn't have assumed that, but please don't scare me like that again. If there really is anything wrong please let me know." Scout's mother sighed and hugged Scout again. "Just get changed and go to bed,it's been a long day."
Scout's mom stood up and looked at her daughter before reluctantly leaving the room.
Scout sat down on her bed, shaking, and wrapped her arms around her body. She waited a few moments before she sighed and got up again in an attempt to put some clothes on.
It was only when she went tug her sleep shirt over head she noticed it. The fact that her skin was now cleared of every blemish she had ever earned. Every scar, every bruise, and even every last freckle was gone.
Scout started to freak out, wondering if she really had lost her mind. She turned her arms over and over before checking the rest of her body and realizing that it was all the same.
It was the water. It had to be Scout thought.
It was okay Scout thought to herself, trying to calm down.
She would just have to show Scott tomorrow until then she would have to try and calm down and go to sleep.
Scout closed her eyes calmed her breathing and got the rest of her pajamas on. She slowly climbed back into bed and switched the lamp on her beside table off. She closed her eyes and sighed.
What had she gotten herself into?
A/N: Shit that was trash and it took me forever to write. Also I literally cannot end chapters omg.
