Tonight was a night of wonder. Wonder of what? How the hell should I know… I just wanted to know who I was or who I was becoming anyways what with all the strange things happening. For example, how I growl at people or how my eyesight, my sense of smell and hearing randomly all improved by so much. Even the way I think has changed.
That's how I ended up in the park alone while my brother and my boyfriend were out getting drunk in the forest. I could still feel them near. I guess I was being a little over protective, following from a distance behind. At first I could hear them talking about nonsense. Well Stiles was talking about nonsense since he was obviously drunk over his head.
"Well, look at the two little bitches getting their drink on". I heard a new voice and smelt a new scent.
"Give it back". Scott answered angrily.
"What's that little man?"
"I think he wants a drink". Another guy responded.
I also kept hearing branches crack somewhere farther in the forest. I knew Scott could easily take both of them so I ignored the two morons messing with my bro and ran off at a fast speed following the sounds. I stopped after a while and hadn't noticed how far I had ventured off into the forest.
"I know you're there. You follow me around. I just want to know why? Why do you want to hurt us?" I asked to the darkness that surrounded me.
"You're getting better dearie. If I wouldn't know any better I'd say you're the one following me tonight". I turned around towards the voice but saw no one.
"I, I just want answers. Please. I don't know what's happening to me and to be honest, it's kind of scaring me. Please, just show yourself". I know I was being foolish. Talking to a stranger who could probably easily kill me. But I needed answers and I needed them now. I felt someone brush the hair away from neck.
"Trust me. You're not ready for the truth. Don't worry, you'll know soon enough darling. Now, how about you go back home where you belong and stay there". I stood there feeling his hot breath on my neck. And then it was gone. I turned quickly but saw and heard no one.
"Fine! Then stop following me you bastard or I'll call the cops!" Wow that was lame. I decided to run back home since that guy was obviously not gonna give me answers. Just like that, I was off. Running came easy these days. It's like I never ran out of air.
"Awe, come on. Stop it! Chinook, get off! I love you and all but I gotta tell you this is the worst wakeup call I've ever gotten". As usual, Chinook woke me up for yet another day of school. God school seemed so unimportant right now. I heard my mom talking to Scott in the room next to me while I got ready.
I walked out of my room and went downstairs to grab my bag and wait outside for Stiles. Running would be so much faster these days but I still loved spending as much time as I could with Stiles.
"Sam, is Stiles late?" Scott asked me as he closed the door behind him.
"Nah, I'm just early".
"Alright well, I'll see you at school". I nodded my head and played with the strings of my hoodie. Scott walked over to his bike and stopped. He looked back and stared at me.
"Can I help you with something Scott?" He kept looking at me weirdly.
"I don't know. I just feel like there's something different about you. You smell differently, kind of like dog, no offense". I rolled my eyes.
"Yes because every girls dream is to have their brother tell 'em they smell like dog. Thank you Scott, very appreciated".
"Sorry, maybe I just smell Chinook or something, just forget it". He hopped on his bike and rode off to school. Great. Even my brother was noticing something was different with me. Stiles pulled up in my driveway and honked at me. I smiled and hoped into his jeep kissing him after closing the door.
"Hii, I missed you". I told him as he drove us to school.
"I missed you too Sam. So how was your weekend?"
"Uhm, relaxing. Nothing interesting really happened. You? ". I didn't want to tell him about the encounter I had in the forest. Also I may have come off as a stalkerish girlfriend if I admitted to following him into the forest.
"Oh you know just fighting off a hangover. God I wished I hadn't drank that much. I still have a wonderful headache. Oh, we need to keep an eye on Scott tonight. It's a full moon soo yeeah". We arrived at school and I passed him some Tylenol that I had found in my purse.
"Thanks, that was well needed". He swallowed it and kissed my forehead before we went into to school.
We had settled in the hallway when we saw Mr. Stilinski walking out of the office. He saw us and headed our way.
"Don't you have a test to get to?" He crossed his arms and scowled at Stiles.
"What's going on, did you find Derek yet?" Stiles got right to the point.
"I'm working on it. You got take your test, and you, he looked at me, go to class".
"Alright dad listen to me, this is really important-"
"Go". Stiles dad cut him off.
"Mr. Stilinski you have got to listen. You've never dealt with this kind of thing before and you could get hurt and I, we don't want that. So listen to him, please". I lowered my eyes to the ground since I didn't want to see the look on Mr. Stilinskis face.
"You have to be careful tonight especially tonight". Stiles continued.
"Stiles, I'm always careful. I brought in some people who know what they're doing and who've worked with this kind of thing. State's detective. Both of you, get back to class". Stiles wanted to say something else but instead he just grabbed my hand and off we went to class. Well Stiles went to class. I on the other hand had a weird feeling and stopped dead in my tracks in the middle of hallway.
It felt like I had an itch that I just couldn't scratch. So instead of being smart I decided to get out of school grounds and walk into the forest. For what reason I don't freaking know. My brain was functioning by itself. I couldn't control myself. That was how I spent the rest of my afternoon. Wandering about in the woods. Or so I think since I don't actually remember any of it.
I was randomly back at school. In the bleachers watching the boys play lacrosse. What the hell was happening to me? I seriously needed to see Deaton soon. And also perhaps talk to my brother. Maybe he had an idea on what was happening to me. Before I could ponder about it any more I saw Scott get knocked down by one of the other lacrosse boys.
"That's it McCall, you earn it McCall". This was not good. I could practically feel his anger from here. And off he was. Knocking the players down like they were bowling pins. Danny had stayed down and everyone rushed to his aid except for me and Stiles. We ran over to Scott who took his helmet off.
"Dude what the hell?" Stiles raised his arms at Scott
"What? He's twice the size of me". Scott responded
"yeah but everybody like Danny and that definitely doesn't give you an excuse to injure him Scott". I told him in a low voice.
"Whatever Sam, I don't care. Maybe you should start worrying about yourself. We notice things, things about you. Now leave me alone". He stalked off the field towards the changing room.
I looked over to Stiles who was looking at me with concern.
"Well, that's the full moon for yeah". I laughed under my breath and walked away from Stiles who was staring at me skeptically.
