02; Parasomnia

"Inconsiderate, stupid asshole" I cursed, trying to pull from my chains. "You couldn't just let me die could you!"

"You know your attitude is really starting to get on my nerves" Stiles crossed his arms over his chest.

"And you're getting on my nerves. Now get out before I slit your throat with my claws!" I yelled.

Stiles glanced at Scott who gave him a small nod.

"I swear to god if I get out of these god damn chains" I warned.

"Bex I already feel bad enough about doing this" Scott said.

"Good! I'm glad. Maybe next time you'll take into consideration the other person's wishes before you fucking bite them you jackass!"

"I was never this bad on my first full moon was I?" Liam questioned from the other side of the room.

"Nope. Nowhere near" My brother answered.

I growled and pulled forwards, yanking at the chains.

"Rebecca-" Scott started.

"Go! Get out"

"Becca-"

"Scott I swear to god if you don't get out of here right now I'm going to-"

"Okay, okay" he started walking backwards to the door. "I'll be back in a minute"

I heard the door close shut and I groaned in frustration.

"You know aside from the consistent cursing and threats, you're doing pretty well" Liam commented.

I was too busy focusing on trying not to break out of the chains and start a massacre to reply.

Moonlight shone through the window and I felt the urge to kill become even stronger.

I dug my claws into my hands, remembering something Scott always told me.

Pain makes you human.

"Bex-" Liam started, obviously noticing the blood dripping from my hands.

"How are you doing this?" I panted.

"You need to focus on something, okay. Focus all of this energy you have onto that"

"I can't! I can't do it"

I could feel the chains loosening.

"Rebecca-"

I dug my claws deeper into my skin and cried out in pain, sinking to the floor.

"Scott! Scott I'm gonna need a bit of help in here!" I heard Liam shout out.

I growled again and used all my strength to pull my body forwards.

I heard the chains snap before I actually felt them become looser.

Scott burst through the door and then paused.

"Rebecca-"

"I tried to calm her down but I can feel the full moon starting to get to me now too" Liam said. I noticed beads of sweat on his forehead as he desperately tried to control the shift.

"Stay focused" Scott told him before turning to me. "Bex remember anchors? Yeah, you need to find one right now"

Stiles came through the door and I instantly felt myself become angrier upon seeing his irritating face.

I heard Liam starting to try and pull out of his chains and Stiles groaned.

"Seriously dude, you need to pick better people to turn"

I lunged forwards at Stiles, ignoring the small part of humanity I actually felt inside of me.

I just needed the satisfaction of killing or seriously injuring someone.

Stiles was in my line of fire.

Scott reacted incredibly quickly, as if he was expecting me to do it.

"Rebecca!" He flashed his eyes at me and I shrunk back. He turned his head round to face his best friend. "Stiles get out now!"

"Scott-"

"Now!" My brother turned to face me. "Becca you need to calm down right now. You almost tore Stiles to shreds!"

"Good"

I heard Liam grunt and the sound of chains starting to break apart.

Scott sighed. "Oh god not again"

"This is the one I was telling you guys about. I got it from a rare book dealer in Germany and it cost me 200 bucks but it was totally worth it" Mason rambled, flipping the pages of the book, as he Liam and I headed down the school corridor.

"You're still reading this stuff?" Liam asked.

"I was attacked by an amour plated giant wearing a bear skull. It left an impression. Look have you ever seen anything like this?" He pointed to the drawing on the page.

"Uhhh no, never" Liam lied, walking ahead again.

"And then there's this whole section on a nagual. Have you ever heard the tezca-tezcat-" he struggled to pronounce the word.

"Tezcatlipoca" I said casually.

Mason looked up at me as Liam shot me a warning look.

"Nope never heard of one" I said quickly.

We stepped into history and took our usual seats.

"Take your seats everyone" Mr Yukimura said.

"Uh great" I heard Liam say.

Mason and I exchanged glances as Liam moved about, still stood by his desk.

"Liam" Mr Yukimura said.

He looked over to the pretty girl sat on his right.

"You're not just gonna stand there are you?" Our teacher said.

"Maybe" Liam answered.

"The whole semester?"

He nodded again. "Maybe"

"Liam. Have a seat"

He nodded awkwardly and sat down whilst I continued to grow more and more curious as to why my boyfriend was acting so strangely.

I glanced over at him to see the brunette girl he was staring at before smile at him.

I could hear Liam's heart pick up as he focused his attention on the board.

I sighed and leant my head in the palm of my hand.

Things really do seem to be changing.

~

"Look I'm not saying that I believe all of it one hundred percent but people around us seem to know things" I heard Mason say.

I quickly hid behind the corner.

"Like Lydia. She knows things. And Bex too" he continued.

"Dude it's the first day of school. Okay, shouldn't you be thinking about other things like-" Liam trailed off. "The soccer team"

I came out from behind my hiding place and smiled at the boys.

"Ooh yeah the soccer team" I winked at Mason.

"What do you think I'm gonna do? Follow them out to the field and watch them practice while I pretend to study" he said.

"It's warm out, they're probably gonna be shirtless" I pointed out.

Mason bit his lip, looking back over at them.

"I'll see you in physics"

I laughed, turning back to Liam.

"We need to tell him. Soon"

"I know" he said, starting to open his locker.

The person next to him slammed theirs shut and I winced.

Then I realised it was the girl from history.

"Nice shorts" she commented.

"Yeah thanks. You know I was wondering if you were still pissed off about the sixth grade but uh, guess you cleared that up"

She shook her head with a smile. "I'm not pissed off Liam" Then her expression changed into a glare. "I'm vengeful"

She glared at him before sending a fake smile my way.

"Nice to see you Rebecca" she said, starting to head up the stairs.

I nodded slowly. "Yeah, you too" I shouted after her. "Don't even know you but I hate you already" I mumbled to myself.

Liam groaned, hitting his head against the lockers.

"Dude what the hell happened in sixth grade?"

~

"Come on, spill the beans" Lydia said as she pulled her books out of her locker.

"There are no beans to spill"

"Really? Because that is a face of someone who clearly has some beans to spill" she said.

I sighed. "Okay, so you're good with relationships, right" I said, leaning against the lockers.

She closed her locker and frowned at me.

"Is this about you and Liam? I thought things were going well"

"They are. They were. I just- there's this girl"

"Oh god here we go" Lydia rolled her eyes.

"No hear me out" I defended. "They were like arch nemesis' in sixth grade and, well, I don't know they seem to be acting like they hate each other now but at the same time there's something between them. Like a spark. Of something. But like she's such a bitch she put gum on his chair because she was trying to be 'vengeful' like who even does that?"

"You're being paranoid" Lydia said, starting to saunter down the hall.

"I'm being cautious" I said as I followed after her. "I mean we've been together for almost eight months in total now and I don't know maybe he's bored of me"

"He's a hormonal teenage boy. Plus everything is heightened as a wolf. Including your emotions, such as jealousy"

"I'm so not jealous!" I argued.

"And your frustration"

"Lydia please"

She paused and turned around to face me again.

"It's nothing to worry about. You and Liam are great together. Enjoy it, okay. I gotta run" She smiled and then headed down the corridor to her next class.

~

"How long do you think he's gonna be?"

"Hmm. Well he's got to show the proof to everyone and they're probably not going to believe him which will make him mad. I'd say about five minutes more, considering he just headed into the Library. Why?"

"Good"

Liam's warm hands cupped my face as he slowly leant in, attaching his lips to mine.

It caught me off guard slightly but the feeling of Liam's lips on mine gave me a sense of joy that I couldn't even explain.

He pulled me in closer, deepening the kiss.

No matter how long we've been together now, the feeling of my heart pounding erratically in my chest when he kisses me has never subsided

I ran my own hands through his hair as his hands found their way to my waist.

As I started to shift forwards, Liam pulled away muttering Stiles' name.

I groaned and sat back against the chair.

"That was so not five minutes"

Stiles slammed the jeep door shut and Liam sat forwards in the backseat.

"What's a criminal trimmer?"

Stiles sighed.

I held up a green sheet but he snatched it from my hand.

"It doesn't matter"

He reversed the jeep, incredibly aggressively, making the tires squeal.

Liam and I exchanged a nervous look before I quickly put on my seatbelt.

"I probably would have been safer in the back"

~

"I told you he was up to something" Stiles whispered as we watched Theo step out of his car.

"We just spent three hours watching this dude play video games in his bedroom" Liam pointed out. "He better be out here covering up for mass murder"

"Let's find out"

I rolled my eyes and followed the boys through the woods.

"Still got his scent?" Stiles asked.

"Don't need it" Liam pointed to the footprints on the ground.

Stiles and I continued on, following the tracks until we realised Liam had stopped.

"What? What's wrong?" I asked.

"I forgot to-I was supposed to meet Mason at the school gym" he said.

"Okay why don't you just tell him" Stiles said.

"Tell him what?"

"Anything" he shrugged.

"I can't just tell him anything"

"Why not?"

"Because I haven't-" he cut off. "I haven't told him everything"

"Still? We said it was okay"

"Yeah I know but it's not that easy" Liam said.

"It's a lot to accept, okay. I had to go through that, Stiles. You had to go through that" I pointed out.

"He watched my dad blow up a berserker with a land mine. I think the groundwork has been pretty throughly laid for acceptance" Stiles said. "And yes, Scott and have been through this. Okay, more than once. It's just, it's always better when they know"

Liam sighed and pulled out his phone as Stiles walked ahead.

"Well what if he freaks out? What if he doesn't wanna talk to me"

I turned back around. "We can tell him together, Liam. He can't stay mad at both of us. And seriously dude, it's only Mason"

"Okay but what if he tries to stab us with something silver?"

I rolled my eyes with a laugh and turned back around, catching up to Stiles.

"Or what if-" I heard a crash and immediately spun back round again to see Liam had completely disappeared.

"Wh-" Stiles started.

The two of us headed to where we last saw him and looked down a hole in the ground.

"What the hell are you doing?" Stiles asked.

Liam shook his head.

"I sw-" Stiles cut off. "There he is" he whispered.

I followed his eyes to see Theo stood by the bridge.

"Hurry up, stop screwing around" Stiles said before running off in that direction.

I waited for Liam to climb out of the hole and then the two of us followed Stiles, who was hidden behind a tree branch.

"Try and get his scent" he said.

"Okay"

"Get anything?"

"Soap" Liam answered.

Stiles gave me an exasperated look.

I shrugged. "It's nice and it smells good"

"Nice soap?" He sighed in annoyance. "His emotional state. Mood signals. Remember?" Stiles said.

"Oh yeah" Liam whispered. After a moment of silence he spoke up again. "He's sad"

I felt that too. I also felt grief.

"Sad?" Stiles questioned.

"More like grief" I said.

"Grief?" Stiles repeated.

I watched as Theo dropped a pretty white flower into the water.

"Oh my god" Stiles said, his voice going an octave higher. "Go" he started pushing us away.

"What why?" I asked.

"Just go" the three of us ran out of sight but slowed down the pace as we headed back to the jeep.

"It's the bridge where they found his sister" Stiles said.

"What sister?" I frowned.

"The one who got lost and died from exposure. He's leaving a flower for her"

"Well that doesn't sound evil" Liam pointed out.

"I know" Stiles said but then paused at the sight of Theo.

He smiled at us. "What are you guys doing?"

Liam stepped forwards protectively and I grabbed his arm.

"Oh, why do I get the feeling this kid's tougher than he looks?" Theo smirked cockily.

"Only when we let him off his leash" Stiles said.

"Stiles, we were in little league together, why are you so suspicious of me?"

Stiles shook his head so I spoke up for him.

"Because you seem like a cocky asshole and you have one of those faces that need to be punched. Oh, and Stiles here is excellent at sensing evil" I patted my friend on the shoulder.

"Rebecca McCall" Theo said with a smirk.

"The one and only"

"I'm suspicious of you because of these" Stiles finally answered, handing Theo the sheets. "One of them is a speed ticket signed by your dad eight years ago. The other one is a signature on a transfer for Beacon High. They're different"

"Huh. Yeah they do look a little different"

"No they're totally different signed by two different people" I said.

"So my dad's not my dad? Like he's an imposter"

"Something like that"

Theo folded the sheets up again. "Who do you think I am?"

"We don't know yet" Stiles said.

"You want me to give you a DNA sample or something?"

"No I don't have anything from fourth grade to match it to"

"You know Stiles, I came back here for Scott. But I also came back for you. Someone like you. Someone who's willing to walk into the woods in the middle of the night to protect his friends. I don't have anyone like that. Scott does. You all do. I know I'm in the right place. I'm meant to be here. I'm meant to be a part of this pack"

~

As we reached the jeep I spotted my brother's bike parked next to it.

"Find anything?" Scott asked.

"Nope" Stiles and I replied simultaneously.

Liam shrugged. "I fell in a hole"

I looked at him and shook my head.

He bit his lip nervously and I chuckled.

Stiles tried to start up his jeep but nothing was happening.

"Son of a-" I heard him sigh. "Liam. Will you do me a favour and get in the car and turn the ignition when I say"

Liam did as asked whilst Stiles and Scott opened up the front of the jeep.

"Stiles" My brother spoke up.

"Give me a sec" he mumbled. "Alright!"

Liam turned the ignition but it wouldn't start.

"Stiles" Scott repeated.

"Yes okay, we followed him out here. What do you want me to say? That I'm a stalker, huh? That I'm crazy? Overly paranoid? None of this is new information"

I slowly started to back away from them and into the jeep with Liam.

"Not even going to try and at least give him the benefit of the doubt?"

"I give people the benefit of the doubt. I've given a lot of benefits to a lot of people" Stiles said.

"Like Derek? Kira. Liam. Bex?" Scott asked.

"I was right about Peter" Stiles said. "Try it again!" He yelled.

Liam started the ignition again but it had the same result.

"You know, I bet you still think there's something about him that can be safe" Stiles said.

"Maybe" my brother replied.

Stiles huffed and fiddled around with more of the car parts before yelling to try the ignition again.

Liam and I sighed when it still wouldn't start.

"Why can't you trust anyone?" Scott asked.

"Because you trust everyone!" Stiles slammed his fist against the jeep and then yelled out in pain.

I grabbed Liam's hand, hating to see Scott and Stiles fight in this way.

"Are you okay?" I heard my brother ask.

"Fine"

"You could have broken that"

"It's not broken"

"Let me see"

"I'm fine"

"Let me see it"

I watched as Stiles held his hand out and Scott placed his over it, taking the pain away.

Stiles frowned at his hand and then looked over at Scott.

Liam turned the ignition once more and thankfully the jeep started.

"Want a lift home?" My brother asked me.

"Nah I'm good. Liam and I are going to meet Mason at school. See you later"

Scott nodded and got on his bike, driving off and leaving a cloud of dust in it's trail.

"I'll be back in a second" I told Liam.

I climbed out of the jeep and headed over to Stiles who was looking up into the sky, deep in thought.

"Hey" I said. He turned away from me. "Hey" I repeated.

Stiles sniffed and I saw him wipe a tear from his eye.

"Come here" I pulled my non-related brother into a hug. "It's okay" I said.

"I'm an awful person"

"You're a bit of an asshole. So what? I've been such a bitch to Theo and I've only met the guy like twice. Okay, I slagged off this girl in my class to Lyds because I was jealous of her and Liam. We all have that side to us"

"I just- I don't see why you all trust him"

"I don't trust him. Stiles, I think you're right. There's something bad about him. I knew that from the second he said he came for Scott. I mean what kind of innocent person gives the 'feel sorry for me' speech. Okay, and when have you ever been wrong? Well there's been occasions but you were right about Peter, right about Matt. Who says you're not right about Theo?"

"You believe me?" He asked in disbelief.

"I believe you, okay. And if you want to figure this out, I would like to help"

~

"Hey, hey. Sorry we're late" Liam called out as we reached Mason.

"Oh no you're not late. You missed it. I worked out. For two hours" Mason said.

"Yeah I know I forgot"

"We're gonna tell you why" I spoke up. "Actually, we're gonna tell you a lot of things"

"A lot of hard to believe things. Really hard to believe" Liam added.

"There's a wolf" Mason said.

"Yeah I'm getting to that"

"No. There's a wolf right behind you" Mason said, his eyes wide in shock.

Liam and I slowly turned around to be met with an enigmatic dark black wolf with piercing eyes.

"That's a wolf" Liam said.

"Okay" I said nervously. "Everybody inside"

I pushed the boys in front of me and we sprinted down the halls, the wolf running after us.

Okay, I've got to do something but god I don't want to be eaten alive.

Mason flew up the stairs but Liam and I both had the same indication to stop.

We exchanged nods and then both turned around, fully transformed.

The two of us roared, the sound bouncing off the walls.

The wolf stopped in front of us.

I could hear Mason's heartbeat pounding.

Then something strange happened. The wolf just turned away and ran back down the hall.

Liam and I both faced Mason who looked at us in disbelief.

"God this was so not the way we wanted you to find out" I said.

"There's something we gotta tell you" Liam finished.

Mason shook his head with a small smile.

"You're werewolves"

A/N

AHSKEKAKAHSHJAAB

Such beef between Bex and Hayden.

Such cuteness between Bex and Liam

Such detective skills from Stiles and Bex

Okay, so if you didn't realise, the bit in italics at the very beginning was a flashback to Bex's first full moon.

Right this might get confusing okay but this is for your benefit in case you wonder what the hell i'm writing about.

So the introduction chapter I posted a couple of weeks ago, was actually set in the future - with Bex talking about all the things that have gone wrong etc.

I plan to do more of these flash forwards as well as flashbacks.

The plan is that in certain chapters I'll post a FF or FB at the beginning. Eventually, well depending on what happens in season 5, they should meet together.

I don't know if that made sense to you guys but if you have any questions regarding it I'll do my best to try and explain it 😂

I just wanted you guys to know what I was doing instead of you wondering why the hell I was writing things at the beginning of chapters that didn't make any sense oops.

Also wow your support for the last chapter has been amazing. Fearless has almost hit 200k which is incredible and this book has hit 2k.

Update: I've just attached the trailer onto this chapter in case you haven't seen it yet :)

Remember if you ever wanna fangirl with me about teen wolf or another TV show - I'll have probably watched it lets be honest. Or if you have any suggestions for this story or anything whatever just personal message me because I absolutely love hearing from you guys :)
