Chapter 7: Stranger

Agh, where am I? What's going on? Come on wake up, wake up! I slowly opened my eyes, it's difficult to see anything. Everything's blurry, I can't hear anything either. I blinked repeatedly until my eyes went into focus, there was a loud ringing in my ear and when it stopped I could hear perfectly again. I checked my surroundings and saw that I was in the middle of the woods, late at night. Great. I'm sleep walking again. I started my walk towards home when I heard the sound of gun fire. Was Argent back? I went over to the area where I heard the noise to see what happened. Shots fired again, and this time there was a blood curdling scream. I sprinted towards the sound. The faster I went and the closer I got, more and more gun shots fired and people screamed. "STOP!" I shouted out. I finally reached the area to find nothing there. What the hell? I searched all around me but still, it was just the empty woods. I searched frantically when all of a sudden I saw a dark figure standing a good distance away. I couldn't tell who it was. "Hey!" I shouted to him or her. No response. "HEY!" I shouted even louder. Still nothing. I looked down and saw the most horrific sight. My mouth dropped open, I was speechless and on the verge of breaking down. Slowly I backed away from the scene. As I got further away I began to see more. I can't believe this! How? This can't be happening! Please! No no no! In front of me laid the lifeless bodies of my friends. Stiles, Kira, Liam, Lydia, Malia, Derek, everyone! They were covered in blood, their bodies violently shredded, they were almost unrecognizable. Before I had time to process everything, the black figure was right in front of me, holding some sort of object. A gun. M16A4 maybe? "What do you want!" I screamed at him, tears bursting out of my eyes. All he did was point the gun to my head and fired.

"AAAAGGGGGGHHHHH!" Scott screamed out. He woke up panicked and in a cold sweat. Melissa came running into his room to calm him down. She grabbed him into her arms trying to comfort him.

"Sshhhh, you're okay, you're okay. It was just a dream." She said trying to soothe him. He was crying into her arms, remembering that awful dream. He didn't sleep for the rest of the night.

School, Next day

Scott was on edge at school. In class he found his mind wandering off to his nightmare. He never once spoke of it to anyone, he decided to keep it to himself. He was trying to remember the face of the dark figure. He didn't get the best look at him, but he was different then from what he expected. All he remembered is that the figure was young looking, perhaps early 20s? And why did he have that weapon? The only people that had a weapon like that was the Argents, but Argent hasn't been back since they went to Mexico to rescue Scott. These questions have been haunting Scott all day and it didn't help that he also questioned Kaelin. Scott is trying to act like everything is fine but everyone can tell something is bothering him. Guess he's not that good of an actor.

"Scott why are you so edgy today? Look the last full moon was nothing, we decided that remember?" Stiles said to Scott trying to comfort him. It didn't work.

Scott thought frantically for an excuse he could say to Stiles. "It's nothing dude, just the calculus test this Friday. I'm not feeling too confident about it." He said as an excuse, hoping Stiles would believe him and forget anything is wrong.

"Dude you'll be fine. Look Thursday after school Malia is coming over to study for the test, you can come too." Stiles said to which Scott laughed at.

"Yeah right, 'study'." Scott joked, using his hands to quote study. Stiles caught on a few seconds later, his eyes widening, excitement clearly on his face.

"Yeah never mind, don't come." Stiles and Scott laughed and headed to their classes.

After school, Scott headed over to the Animal Clinic for work and to see if Deaton has made any progress in his research. Scott went in to find Deaton working on a dog with a broken leg. He was just finishing with its cast. It was a cute dog, golden retriever.

"Hey Deaton, who's your patient?" Scott asked referring to the dog. The dog growled at Scott and so he gave the dog the look of control. The dog shut up then.

"This is Rex. He got a broken leg for running out into the street. Nothing major, he should be as good as new in 3 weeks." Deaton said, finishing up the dog.

"Any progress with the whole full moon thing?" Scott asked, trying not to sound to eager, but inside desperately waiting for his answer. He was tempted to tell Deaton about the nightmare, but he didn't want another freak out.

"No nothing. I don't think it's anything to worry about Scott. I highly suggest to just forget about it." That was almost impossible for Scott to forget, especially now that he had that frightening dream. Scott just nodded his head at Deaton. A moment later the sound of the door opened.

"That must be the dog's owner. Scott would you go help him?" Deaton asked. Scott went out to the front to greet the stranger.

"Hello, how may I help you-" Scott stopped speaking when he looked up and saw the owner. There was something about him that looked familiar. He was a young man, tall, almost 6 foot. He had brown eyes and brown hair that looked like a military cut, slightly longer.

"Hi I'm here for my dog, Rex." The man answered. Just the. Deaton brought out the dog, handing him over to the young man. Scott just stared at him, trying to figure out why he looked so familiar. Deaton handed the bill and paperwork for the man to sign. Scott got a glimpse of the man's name. Tristan. He didn't know any Tristans. After he finished signing the papers, he grabbed his dog and left. It was then Scott recognized the man. It was the man from his nightmare.

Woah, strange chapter. I had fun with this chapter, coming up with this new character. I put my dog Rex in this chapter too. What do you guys think about this new guy? And yes I did give him an Assault Rifle, I want some more action with weapons instead of just claws. Thank you for reading! Feel free to leave reviews! Enjoy your weekend!
