Chapter One: Wolf Moon

Hayley's POV

Scott walked in my room as I was picking my clothes out for first day back tomorrow. "Hey, Sis did you hear the rustling outside?" Scott asked "No, why?" I ask "I heard someone outside." Scott said "Alright let's go check it out. Carry the bat." I say We walked out onto the patio with Scott behind me carrying a baseball bat. I heard movement on the roof and next thing I know I see Stiles hanging from the roof with him and Scott yelling with Scott about to hit him with a baseball bat.

"Stiles, what the hell are you doing!?" Scott asked "Y'all weren't answering your phones. Why do you have a bat?" Stiles asked "Scott thought you were a predator." I say "A pre - I - wha - look, I know it's late, but you gotta hear this. I saw my dad leave 20 minutes ago. Dispatch called. They're bringing in every officer from the Beacon Department, and even State Police." Stiles said

"For what?" I ask "Two joggers found a body in the woods." Stiles said jumping down from the roof. "A dead body?" Scott asked "No, a body of water. Yes, dumbass, a dead body." Stiles said jumping over the railing onto the patio. "You mean like murdered?" I ask "Nobody knows yet. Just that it was a girl, probably in her 20s." Stiles said "Hold on, if they found the body, then what are they looking for?" I ask "That's the best part. They only found half. We're going." Stiles said and we get in his Jeep and drive to the preserve. "We're seriously doing this?" Scott asked "You're the one always bitching that nothing ever happens in this town." I say

"I was trying to get a good night's sleep before practice tomorrow." Scott said as we go walking through the woods. "Right, 'cause sitting on the bench is such a grueling effort." Stiles said "No, because I'm playing this year. In fact, I'm making first line." Scott said "Hey, that's the spirit. Everyone should have a dream, even a pathetically unrealistic one." Stiles said "Just out of curiosity, which half of the body are we looking for?" I ask "Huh! I didn't even think about that." Stiles said "And, uh, what if whoever killed the body is still out here?" I ask "Also something I didn't think about." Stiles said making me face palm at his stupidity.

"It's - comforting to know you've planned this out with your usual attention to detail." I say sarcastically as we climb this small hill. "I know." Stiles said "Maybe the severe asthmatic should be the one holding the flashlight, huh?" Scott said leaning against the tree behind us. Stiles drops down to the ground dragging me with him. I hear Scott shake his inhaler then crawl up the hill and drop down beside of me when he sees the flash lights.

"Wait, come on!" Stiles said standing up and starts running. "Stiles! Wait up! Stiles! Stiles!" Scott and I yell in sync. "Hold it right there!" A cop yells and Scott and I hide behind a tree. "Hang on, hang on. This little delinquent belongs to me." The sheriff said 'Dad, how are you doing?" Stiles asked making me roll my eyes. "So, do you, uh, listen in to all of my phone calls?" The Sheriff asked "No, heh. Not the boring ones." Stiles said "Now, where's your usual partners in crime?" The Sheriff asked "Who, Scott and Hayley? They're home. Said they wanted to get a good night's sleep for first day back at school tomorrow. It's just me. In the woods. Alone." Stiles said "Scott, Hayley y'all out there? Scott? Hayley? Well, young man, I'm gonna walk you back to your car. And you and I are gonna have a conversation about something called invasion of privacy." Sheriff said and they all started walked away.

"Damn it." I say and we start walking towards the road when I hear something running up behind us. I turn around in time to see deer running towards us. "Scott get down!" I yell and I fall to the ground covering my face and head so I don't get kicked on in the head. While we're waiting for the deer to pass I notice that Scott lost his inhaler. While we're running to the road I hear Scott scream so I turn around and see Scott over the top half of the body. I notice that the body kind of looks like Laura Hale. I help Scott up and we continue walking to the road until I hear growling noises behind us. I turn and I see a big black shape with glowing red eyes.

I instantly think alpha werewolf but it wouldn't make sense because Derek and Laura left Beacon Hills and by the looks of it Laura is dead. I don't think it's Peter because he hasn't moved since he was put in his hospital room after the fire. Scott looks where I was and he stops. The alpha runs at us biting Scott on the side and my on the shoulder. Once it runs away I help Scott up and we run towards the road. We run out into the road and a car almost hits us. Scott pulls up his hoodie and I see his bite mark. The wolf howls from the woods.

Jackson parks his car beside of the bike rack where Scott his locking his bike. Jackson opens his car door and hits Scott with it. "Dude - watch the paint job." Jackson said "Jackson don't be an ass." I say "Yo, Jackson, let's go, bro." Danny yells and Jackson walks away. Scott and I walked towards Stiles. "Okay, let's see this thing." Scott lifts up his shirt showing the bandage. "Ooh!" Stiles said trying to touch it but Scott moved backwards. "Yeah. Whoa! It was too dark to see much, but I'm pretty sure it was a wolf." Scott said "A wolf bit you two?" Stiles asked "No, Stiles a dog was running through the woods and decided to bite us before running away. Yes Stiles, a wolf." I say sarcastically.

"Uh - huh." Scott said "No, not a chance." Stiles said "We heard a wolf howling." Scott said "No, you two didn't." Stiles said "What do you mean, no, we didn't? How do you know what we heard?" Scott asked "Because California doesn't have wolves, okay? Not in like 60 years." Stiles said "Really?" Scott asked "Yes, really. There are no wolves in California." Stiles said "All right, well, if you don't believe us about the wolf, then you're definitely not gonna believe us about when I tell you we found the body." I say "You - are you kidding me?" Stiles asked suddenly all excited. "No, man, I wish. I'm gonna have nightmares for a month." Scott said

"Oh, god, that is freakin' awesome. I mean, this is seriously gonna be the best thing that's happened to this town since." Lydia starts walking towards us. "- Since the birth of Lydia Martin. Hey, Lydia - You look - Like you're gonna ignore me." Lydia waves at me as she walks by but ignored Stiles. "You're the cause of this, you know." Stiles said as we walk towards the door. "Uh - huh." Scott said "Draggin' me down to your nerd depths. I'm a nerd by association. I've been scarlet - nerded by you." Stiles said causing me to laugh.

-time skip-

"As you all know, there indeed was a body found in the woods last night. And I am sure your eager little minds are coming up with various macabre scenarios as to what happened. But I am here to tell you that the police have a suspect in custody, which means you can give your undivided attention to the syllabus which is on your desk outlining this semester." The teacher said and Scott and I looked at Stiles and he shrugged.

Suddenly I heard a phone ringing loudly causing me to jump. I look around the room but see that no one is reacting to the noise except Scott. I look out the window and see a girl sitting outside digging through her bag. "Mom, three calls on my first day is a little overdoing it. Everything except a pen. Oh, my God, I didn't actually forget a pen. Okay, okay. I gotta go. Love ya." The girl said as the vice principal walks up to her. "Sorry to keep you waiting. So you were saying San Francisco isn't where you grew up?" Vice principal asked "No, but we lived there for more than a year, which is unusual in my family." The girl said "Well, hopefully Beacon Hills will be your last stop for a while." They walk to the door and he opens the door. "Class, this is our new student, Allison Argent. Please do your best to make her feel welcome." Vice Principal said and I freeze when I hear her last name. She sits behind Scott. Scott turns around and hands her a pen. "Thanks." Allison said and she looked at the pen confused.

Lydia drags me to talk to Allison before Lacrosse practice. "That jacket is absolutely killer. Where'd you get it?" Lydia asked "My mom was a buyer for a boutique back in San Francisco." Allison said "And you are my new best friend." Lydia said before I cut her off. "Rude." I say and she looks at me. "You'll always be my best friend." Jackson walks up behind her and wraps his arms around her waist. "Hey, Jackson." Lydia said and they kiss. I roll my eyes and look away.

"So, this weekend, there's a party." Lydia said "A party?" Allison said "Yeah - Friday night. You should come." Jackson said "Uh, I can't. It's family night this Friday. Thanks for asking." Allison said and then I remember the full moon is on Friday. "You sure? Everyone's going after the scrimmage." Jackson said "You mean like football?" Allison asked causing me to scoff. "Football's a joke in Beacon. The sport here is lacrosse. We've won the state championship for the past three years." I say "Because of a certain team captain." Lydia said "Would be Co-Captains if Hayley didn't say no to the position." Jackson said "That's all you Jax. I like playing the game not leading it. Well, we have practice in a few minutes." I say "That is, if you don't have anywhere else -" Jackson said "Well, I was going to -" Allison said before Lydia cut her off. "Perfect - You're coming." Lydia said dragging Allison.

-time skip-

"But if you play - I'll have no one to talk to on the bench. Are you really gonna do that to your best friend?" Stiles asked as we walk to the field. "I can't sit out again. My whole life is sitting on the sidelines. This season, I make first line." Scott said "McCall!" Coach yelled "Yeah?" Scott and I ask in sync. "Male McCall. You're on goal." Coach said "I've never played." Scott said "I know - scoring some shots will give the boys a confidence boost. It's a first day back thing. Get 'em energized, fired up!" Coach said "What about me?" Scott asked "Try not to take any in the face." Coach hits Scott in the face. "Let's go! Come on!" Coach exclaimed. Scott was listening to the conversation that Lydia and Allison was having and when the Ref blew the whistle causing Scott to double over in pain covering his ears. Someone threw a ball and hit Scott in the face. "Hey, way to catch with your face, McCall!" Jackson yelled. "Jackson shut the hell up!" I yell and everyone starts throwing into the goal.

The line gets to me and I get ready to throw. "Get ready Scotty because this will be one you won't catch." I mumble knowing he can hear me. "Oh god." Scott said and I throw the ball and he tried to catch it but couldn't. Jackson gets mad and pushes his way to the front of the line pushing me backwards. Jackson throws the ball and Scott catches it sending it back to the Ref.

-time skip-

"I don't - I don't know what it was. It was like I had all the time in the world to catch the ball. And that's not the only weird thing. I - I can - hear stuff I shouldn't be able to hear. Smell things." Scott said "Smell things? Like what?" Stiles asked "Like the mint - mojito gum in your pocket." Scott and I say in sync. "I don't even have any mint." Stiles looks in his pockets and he find the gum. "Mojito - So all this started with a bite." Stiles said "What if it's like an infection, like, my body's flooding with adrenaline before I go into shock or something?" Scott asked

"You know what? I actually think I've heard of this - It's a specific kind of infection." Stiles said "Are you serious?" Scott asked "Yeah. Yeah, I think it's called - lycanthropy." Stiles said and I scoff. "What's that? Is that bad?" Scott asked and I face palm. "Oh, yeah, it's the worst. But only once a month." Stiles said "Once a month?" Scott asked "Mm - hmm. On the night of the full moon." He howls and Scott pushes him. "Hey, you two are the ones who heard a wolf howling." Stiles said "Hey, there could be something seriously wrong with us." Scott said "I know! You two are werewolves! Rrr!" Stiles brought his hands up like claws.

"Okay, obviously I'm kidding. But if you see me in shop class trying to melt all the silver I can find, it's 'cause Friday's a full moon." Stiles said "No, I - I could have sworn this was it. I saw the body, the deer came running. I dropped my inhaler." Scott said "Maybe the killer moved the body." Stiles said "If he did, I hope he left my inhaler. Those things are like 80 bucks." Scott said and suddenly both Scott and I were hit and we both looked up and saw someone standing in front of us in a leather jacket. The guy looked like an older version of Derek Hale who's family used to own the property.

"What are you doing here? Huh? This is private property." Derek said "Uh, sorry, man, we didn't know." Stiles said "Yeah, we were just looking for something, but - Uh, forget it." Derek threw Scott his inhaler and he caught it. "Uhm. All right, come on, I gotta get to work." Scott said "Dude, that was Derek Hale. You remember, right? He's only like a few years older than us." Stiles said "Remember what?" Scott asked "His family. They all burned to death in a fire, like, ten years ago." Stiles said "I wonder what he's doing back." Scott said "Come on." Stiles said "Y'all go ahead. I'm going to walk home." Scott looks like he's about to argue but I stop him. "I'll be fine. Go." I say and Stiles drags him away.

I watch them walk away and once they're out of sight then I turn around. "I know you're out here and I know you can hear me." Derek is standing in front of me. "So Derek who's the new Alpha?" I ask "I don't know. My sister came here looking for him but as you saw last night that didn't go so well." Derek said "Yeah. I thought that was her but I didn't know. By the way the Alpha bit my brother and I." I say and he walks closer. "Show me." Derek said and I pull down the top of my shirt and take the bandage off and the bite was healed.

"Well that's good news." I say and cover it back up. "I'll help you control it soon." Derek said "That's good. But for now I need to start walking home." I say "Don't worry about it. I'll drop you off." Derek said "Thanks, Derek." We walk to his car and he starts driving me home. "You know Scott is going to blame you for biting us." I say "He will learn soon enough that it wasn't me." Derek said as he stopped outside my house. "Thanks for the ride." I say getting out and shutting the door.

"What the hell is going on with you, McCall?" I hear Jackson ask when I'm walking in the hallway. "What's going on with me? You really wanna know? Well, so would I! Because I can see, hear, and smell things that I shouldn't be able to see, hear, and smell. I do things that should be impossible, I'm sleepwalking three miles into the middle of the woods, and I'm pretty much convinced that I'm totally out of my freaking mind!" Scott exclaimed and I walk towards where I heard them. Jackson is holding Scott against the lockers. "You think you're funny - Don't you, McCall? I know you're hiding something. I'm gonna find out what it is. I don't care how long it takes." Jackson said and I growl.

"Jackson back away from my brother. Now!" I say and Jackson backs up and looks at me. "Hey Hayley." Jackson said "Don't 'hey Hayley' me. Don't threaten Scott again Jackson or you know I'll kick your ass." I drag Scott away from him. "What the hell was that about?" I ask "Jackson thinks I'm on steroids because I'm suddenly better at lacrosse." Scott said making me scoff and roll my eyes. "Don't worry about it. He just doesn't like people being better then him. Thinks he has something to prove." I say

Stiles was running up to Scott and I. Scott! Hayley! Scott, Hayley wait up." Stiles said "Stiles, I'm playing the first elimination, man - Can it wait?" Scott asked "Just hold on, okay? I overheard my dad on the phone. The fiber analysis came back from the lab in L.A. They found animal hairs on the body from the woods!" Stiles exclaimed "Stiles, I gotta go." Scott said and he starts walking away. "Wait, no! Scott! You're not gonna believe what the animal was! It was a wolf." Stiles said " A wolf? I thought you said wolves weren't in California?" I ask even though I already knew it was a wolf. "Guess I was wrong." Stiles said "Yeah. Look, we'll talk later. I gotta get on the field." I say and he nods so I run over and stand beside of Scott. "Let's go! Gather round! Bring it in, come on! Come on!" Coach yelled and I see Allison wave at Scott who waved back. "Got a question, McCall?" Coach asked "What?" Scott asked "You raised your hand. You have a question?" Coach asked

"Oh - No. I was just, uh - Nothing. Sorry." Scott said "Okay. You know how this goes. If you don't make the cut, you're most likely sitting on the bench for the rest of the season. You make the cut - You play. Your parents are proud. Your girlfriend loves ya! Huh? Everything else is, uh - Cream cheese. Now, get out there and show me whatcha got! Come on!" Coach exclaimed "Let's go! Let's go!" Jackson yells

Scott is trying to score and he flips over some of the guys and he scores. "McCall! Get over here! What in God's name was that? This is a lacrosse field. What, are you trying out for the gymnastics team?" Coach asked "No, coach." Scott said "What the hell was that?" Coach asked "I don't know. I - just trying to make the shot." Scott said "Yeah, well, you made the shot. And guess what? You're startin', buddy. You made first line. Come on!" Coach yelled and I run over to Scott. "Good job little bro." I say

There was a knock at Stiles' door. He gets up and opens it. I see Scott standing there. "Get in." Scott walks in the room. "You gotta see this thing. We've been up all night reading - websites, books. All this information." Stiles said and Scott looked towards me where I'm sitting on Stiles' bed and I waved. "How much Adderall has he had today?" Scott asked "A lot." I say laughing "Doesn't matter. Okay, just listen." Stiles said "Oh, is this about the body? Did they find out who did it?" Scott asked "No, they're still questioning people, even Derek Hale." Stiles said "What?" I ask

"Oh, the guy in the woods that we saw the other day." Scott said "Yeah! Yes. But that's not it, okay?" Stiles asked "What, then?" Scott asked "Remember the joke from the other day? Not a joke anymore. The wolf - the bite in the woods. I started doing all this reading. Do you even know why a wolf howls?" Stiles asked "Should I?" Scott asked and I face palm. "It's a signal, okay? When a wolf's alone, it howls to signal its location to the rest of the pack. So if you heard a wolf howling, that means others could have been nearby. Maybe even a whole pack of 'em." I say "A whole pack of wolves?" Scott asked "No - Werewolves." Stiles said

"Are you seriously wasting my time with this? You know I'm picking up Allison in an hour." Scott said and I scoff. "I saw you on the field today, Scott. Okay, what you did wasn't just amazing, all right? It was impossible." Stiles said "Yeah, so I made a good shot." Scott said "No, you made an incredible shot, I mean - The way you moved, your speed, your reflexes. Y'know, People can't just suddenly do that overnight. And there's the vision and the senses, and don't even think I don't notice that you don't need your inhaler anymore." I say "Okay! Dude, I can't think about this now. We'll talk tomorrow." Scott said

"Tomorrow?! What? No! The full moon's tonight. Don't you get it?" Stiles asked "What are you trying to do? I just made first line. I got a date with a girl who I can't believe wants to go out with me, and everything in my life is somehow perfect. Why are you trying to ruin it?" Scott asked causing me to roll my eyes. "I'm trying to help. You're cursed, Scott. You know, and it's not just the moon will cause you to physically change. It also just so happens to be when your bloodlust will be at its peak." Stiles said "Bloodlust?" Scott asked "Yeah, your urge to kill." Stiles said "I'm already starting to feel an urge to kill, Stiles." Scott said "You gotta hear this. "The change can be caused by anger or anything that raises your pulse." All right? I haven't seen anyone raise your pulse like Allison does. You gotta cancel this date. I'm gonna call her right now." Stiles said and he starts going through Scott's bag.

"What are you doing?" Scott asked "I'm canceling the date." Stiles said "No, give it to me!" Scott pushes Stiles against the wall holding his fist up. I walk behind Scott and throw him away from Stiles. "Ha- Hayley your eyes." Stiles said "I'm sorry. I - I gotta go get ready for that party. I'm sorry." Scott said and he left. "What about my eyes?" I ask "They were glowing like an amber color." Stiles said "Yeah that's the whole thing about being a werewolf." I say and walk out.

Scott was in his room getting dressed for the party and I was waiting in mine for Stiles. "Mom!" Scott exclaimed and I get up and walk to his doorway. I see Mom and Scott standing at the bathroom door. "Is this a party or a date?" Mom asked and I sit on Scott's bed. "Maybe both." Scott said "And her name is -" Mom said before Scott cut her off. "Allison." Scott said "Allison. Nice." Mom said "Thank you." Scott said "We don't need to have a talk, do we?" Mom asked "Mom, I'm not having the safe sex talk with you." Scott said and I laugh falling back onto Scott's bed.

"Oh, my God. No, I meant about keeping the tank full. Give me those back." Mom said "Are you serious?" Scott asked "You bet your ass I am serious. I'm not gonna end up on some reality television show with a pregnant 16 - year - old. Come on!" Mom exclaimed "Smart move Scotty." I say walking out after Mom.

Derek walked over to me in the corner I was in. "So why do you come to these things if you're just going to stand in the corner?" Derek asked "I normally party but I figured with what's happening tonight it would be best for me to stay away from everyone." I say "Smart move." Derek said and I start to feel the effects of the moon. "Derek it's happening." I say "Let's take the Argent girl home and then we'll go to the woods." We walk over to Allison. "Allison. I'm a friend of Scott's and Hayley's. My name's Derek." Derek said and we leave. We drop Allison off at her house then we go to the woods. Derek hangs Allison's jacket on a tree branch to attract Scott.

"Where is she?" Scott asked "She's safe. From you." Derek said as he walks forwards. "What did you do with her?" Scott asked and I hear noises that sounds like footsteps. "Shh, quiet. Too late. They're already here. Run." Derek said pulling me by my hand but Scott gets an arrow to his arm and against a tree. "Take him." The hunter said I run towards them and Derek runs behind them. My eyes glow and my claws are out. Derek knocks them away while I save Scott. We run away from where we were.


"Who were they?" Scott asked as he leant up against a tree. I look around us staying alert transformed until I feel like we're safe. "Hunters. The kind that have been hunting us for centuries." Derek said "Us? You mean you! You did this to us!" Scott exclaimed "Is it really so bad, Scott? That you can see better - Hear more clearly, move faster than any human could ever hope? You've been given something that most people would kill for." I say and Scott looks at me and noticed I'm not transformed anymore. "The bite is a gift." Derek said "I don't want it." Scott said "You will. And you're gonna need Derek if you want to learn how to control it." I say "So you and me, Scott - We're brothers now." Derek said and I have to look away to stop from laughing.

Stiles was driving beside us in his jeep and he stopped. I climbed in the backseat and Scott got in the front. "You know what actually worries me the most?" Scott asked "If you say Allison, I'm gonna punch you in the head." I say leaning up between the seats. "She probably hates me now." Scott said and I groan falling back against the backseat. "Ugh. I doubt that. But you might want to come up with a pretty amazing apology. Or, you know, you could just - Tell her the truth and - Revel in the awesomeness of the fact that you're a frickin' werewolf." I smack Stiles in the back of the head.

"Ow. Okay, bad idea. Hey, we'll get through this. Come on, if I have to, I'll chain you both up myself on full moon nights and feed you live mice. I had a boa once. I could do it." Stiles said "Yeah, I have help with my changing." I say "Speaking of which how did you have that good of control?" Scott asked and I notice we pulled into the driveway of the house. I climb over Scott and got out of the Jeep. "Derek's teaching me. He says I'm a true natural." I say walking in the house hearing Scott fumble out of the car and chase after me.

I hope y'all like the first chapter.
