Chapter One: Wolf Moon
Scott walks in my room as I'm listening to music, fixing my lacrosse net, and video chatting Jackson before tryouts and practice. "Lia, did you hear the noise outside?" Scott asked and I stop the music. "No, why?" I ask "I heard something outside." Scott said "Okay. Jax I'll call you back later." I say "Okay. Bye Amy. Call me later and tell me if I'm still picking you up in the morning." Jackson said and he hangs up. "Let's go. You're carrying the bat." I say and we walk outside with him walking in front of me with the bat. Stiles suddenly hangs down from the roof making all three of us scream. Scott holds the bat up. "Stiles, what the hell are you doing?" Scott and I ask in sync. "Neither of you were answering your phones. Scott, why do you have a bat?" Stiles asked "I thought you were a predator." Scott said "A pre... Look, I know it's late, but you two gotta hear this. I saw my dad leave twenty minutes ago. Dispatch called. They're bringing in every officer from the Beacon Department, and even state police." Stiles said
"For what?" Scott and I ask in sync. "Two joggers found a body in the woods." Stiles said and he falls to the ground. "A dead body?" Scott asked making me turn and look at him. Stiles stands up leaving on the railing of the porch. "No, a body of water. Yes, dumbass a dead body." Stiles said and he climbs over the railing of the porch. "You mean like, murdered?" Scott asked "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." Stiles looks super excited and I knew then that we were going to be spending the night in the woods. "We're going." Stiles said "Stiles I'm in pajamas at least let me change first." I say and I go inside and to my room.
I call Jackson back while I'm grabbing random clothes out of my closet. "So you're still alive. That's good." Jackson said "It was just Stiles. Wants Scott and I to go look for a dead cut in half body with him." I say taking my shirt off changing. "And by you changing means that you're going." Jackson said "Yup." I say putting pants on and then my shoes. "Just don't get murdered." Jackson said "Yeah I'll try. And yes I still need you to pick me up tomorrow. Bye Jax." I say hanging up.

We get in Stiles' jeep and go to the preserve. "We're seriously doing this?" Scott asked once we get out of the jeep. "You're the one always bitching that nothing ever happens in this town." I say as Stiles and I walk further into the woods. "I was trying to get a good nights sleep before practice tomorrow." Scott said as he starts following us. "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?" Scott asked "Also something I didn't think about." Stiles said as we climb a small hill in the woods. "It's comforting to know you've planned this out with your usual attention to detail." I say "I know." Stiles said "Maybe the severe asthmatic should be the one holding the flashlight, huh?" Scott asked shaking his inhaler following us.
We get up the small hill and Stiles drags me to the ground. Scott falls down beside me when we see the flashlights. "Hey, come on!" Stiles said and he starts running. "Stiles!" Scott gets a puff of his inhaler before we run following Stiles. "Wait up! Stiles! Stiles!" Scott yelled and then we hear barking and Stiles falls to the ground. Scott and I hide behind a tree. "Hold it right there!" A cop yells "Hang on, hang on. This little delinquent belongs to me." The sheriff said "Dad, how are you doing?" Sties asked "So, do you, uh, listen in to all of my phone calls?" Sheriff asked "No. Not the boring ones." Stiles said "Now, where's your usual partners in crime?" Sheriff asked "Who, Scott and Amy? They're home. Said they wanted to get a good nights sleep for the first day back at school tomorrow. It's just me. I'm the woods. Alone." Stiles said "Scott, Amelia, you two out there? Scott? Amelia? 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 start walking away.
"Fuck." I say hitting my head on the tree that I'm against. Scott and I start walking through the woods towards the road. As we're walking Scott keeps looking around at every wild animal noise. We both hear wings flapping so we look up towards the sky. We continue walking and Scott stops shaking his inhaler before multiple deer come running through the woods making Scott yell out. We both fall to the ground and I cover my face so I don't get kicked. A deer falls down beside of me before jumping back up and continues running. Once they all get passed us we both sit up. "I lost my inhaler." Scott said "I'll help you look for it." I say and he opens his phone for the light and I do the same. I hear Scott scream so I quickly turn towards him and I see him falling down the hill. I run over to the edge of the hill and I see his back hit the tree before he continues rolling down. Once he hits the ground I quickly slide down the hill beside him. "What happened?" I ask "I found the body." Scott said and he crawls over to a fallen down tree and pulls himself up. He climbs over the tree and held out his hand to help me over it. I hear growling and we both stop moving. We slowly turn around and I see a dark shape with red eyes that looks like a wolf. The wolf comes running at us biting Scott's side then mine.
We run through the woods towards the road. Scott falls and I quickly help him up and we continue running. We run out into the road and I see the head lights of a car and hear screeching tires. I subconsciously move closer to Scott shielding my face away from the bright lights. Scott pulls his hoodie up and I see the bite mark on his side. I do the same and see a basically identical bite mark on my side too. I look at Scott and he looks at me. We're standing in the rain and I hear a wolf howl making me turn around towards the woods. We get home and I go get stuff to wrap both mine and Scott's bite up. "I'll do yours and then you can do mine." I clean Scott's bite and put a big bandaid on it. He does the same to me. "Jax is going to pick me up in the morning so I'll be leaving early." I say "I'll probably be leaving before you. Since Stiles isn't picking me up." Scott said "You could always ride with me and Jax." I say "I don't want to be stuck in a tiny car with Jackson Whittemore. No offense." Scott said "Makes sense." I say
-time skip- *Next Morning*
I was still getting ready when I hear a car pull up outside. I go to my window and I see Jackson's Porsche. I find my phone and text him. "Door is unlocked if you wanna come in. Not completely done yet." I hear his door open and then shut before he walks to the door before walking in. "Amy?!" Jackson yells making me flinch. "Up here." I say and he comes in my room where I was finishing getting ready.

Jackson pulls up to the school and he parks beside the bike rack where Scott is standing at his bike. Jackson opens his door hitting Scott with the door and I get out the car. "Dude, watch the paint job." Jackson said "Jackson quit being a douche." I say walking over to them grabbing his arm pulling him back. "Yo, Jackson, let's go, bro." One of the guys say and he looks at me. "Go I'll see you later." I say and Jackson walks away staring at Scott the entire time. Scott and I find Stiles and walk up to him. "Okay, let's see this thing." Scott lifts up his shirt to show the bandage that I put helped him put on this morning. "Ooh!" Stiles said and he tries to touch it but Scott jumps back. "Yeah. Whoa!" Scott said "It was too dark to see much, but I'm pretty sure it was a wolf." I say "A wolf bit you two?" Stiles asked "No a rabid dog was in the middle of the woods in the dark. Yes, Stiles a wolf." I say sarcastically "Uh-huh." Scott said adding to my comment. "No, not a chance." Stiles said "We heard a wolf howling." Scott said
"No, you didn't." Stiles said and I scoff. "What do you mean, "No, we didn't"? How do you know what we heard?" I ask "Because California doesn't have wolves, okay? Not in like 60 years." Stiles said "Really?" Scott and I ask in sync. "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 me about when I tell you I found the body." Scott said "Are you kidding me?" Stiles asked "No, man, I wish. I'm gonna have nightmares for a month." Scott said "Oh, god, that is freaking awesome. I mean, this is seriously gonna be the best thing that's happened to this town since... Since the birth of Lydia Martin. Hey, Lydia, you look... like you're gonna ignore me." Stiles stomps his feet on the ground before looking at Scott. "You're the cause of this, you know." Stiles said "Uh-huh." Scott said "Dragging me down to your nerd depths. I'm a nerd by association. I've been scarlet nerded by you." Stiles said and the bell rings. We turn around to walk into the building and I put my arm through both boys arms. "No, Mischief I thinks that's all you." I say

"As you all know, there indeed was a body found in the woods last night." Scott looks at Stiles and I since I sit behind Stiles. "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." Scott looks back at Stiles and he raises his hands up in the air. "Which means you can give your undivided attention to the syllabus which is on your desk outlining this semester." The teacher said and suddenly a phone rings loudly making me jump. I look around the room to see who's phone it was but no one was reacting to the noise except Scott. I look out the window and I 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 you." The girl said and she hangs up the phone.
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 and I hear them walking in the school. "Well, hopefully Beacon Hills will be your last stop for a while." They walk up to the classroom door and he opens the door. "Class, this is our new student, Allison Argent." I freeze up when I hear her last name. "Please do your best to make her feel welcome." The vice principal said and he walks back out. She walks and sits behind Scott who turns around and hands her a pen. "Thanks." Allison said "We'll begin with Kafka's Metamorphosis on page 133." The teacher said

I'm standing beside of Scott at our lockers when I see Allison walk up across from us. Scott's attention immediately goes to her. Lydia walks up to her. "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 Lydia points at her. "And you are my new best friend." Jackson comes up behind her. "Hey, Jackson." Lydia said and they make out standing in the hallway. I scoff slamming my locker door shut making a loud noise which causes some people to jump and stare at me. I walk away from Scott and Stiles and walk towards the girls locker room to change for practice.
"I'll be back. I need to check on her." I hear Jackson chasing after me down the hallway. "Amy!" I ignore him. "Amy!" I ignore him again and walk into the locker room. "Amelia." Jackson said and I turn around to face him and he's standing right in front of me. "Jackson." I say "What's the matter with you?" Jackson asked "You know when we first started whatever the hell this is, I actually felt bad for Lydia and wanted to stop it immediately but I couldn't bring myself to. So now we're continuing whatever the hell this is and having to keep it a secret from little miss Queen Bee. Jackson I know you don't love her. You're little make out thing in the hallway was just a show to keep up appearances. She just can't see through it but I do." I say and I walk towards my locker ignoring him hoping he would go away.
But right before I open my locker I get turned around and shoved into the lockers. I felt Jackson's lips on mine and we kissed for a minute before I pushed him away. "Not right now. You know the rules. Not at school." I say "I don't give a fuck about the rules. Rules are made to be broken." Jackson said "We have practice in a few minutes so you need to go to your locker room so I can change." I say "Why? It's not like I haven't seen it before. I got a view of it last night." Jackson said "Out. Now." I say pointing to the door. "Fine. Fine." Jackson said laughing holding his hands up in surrender before walking out. I quickly get changed before following after him to find Scott and Stiles.
I find Scott and Stiles waking towards the field. "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 "I can't sit out again. My whole life is sitting on the sidelines. This season, I make first line." Scott said and I see him staring at Allison. "McCall!" Coach said "Yeah." Scott and I say in sync. "Male McCall. You're on goal." Coach said throwing goalie gear at Scott. "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 them energized, fired up! Lia of course doesn't need it." Coach said "Thanks Coach." I say "What about me?" Scott asked "Try not to take any in the face." Coach smacks Scott's face before turning to the boys on the field. "Let's go! Come on!" Coach yells and Scott goes to stand in the goal. We all line up and I'm behind number 14, Issac Lahey. "Hey, Zac." I say "Lia, hey." Isaac said
"Who is that?" Allison asked from the stands. "Him? I'm not sure who he is. Why?" Lydia asked "He's in my English class." Allison said and then the ref blew the whistle making me flinch but Scott covers his ears doubled over in pain. One of the boys decides to throw the ball and it hits Scott in the face. "Hey, way to catch with your face, McCall!" One of the guys yells "Hey! Shut the hell up!" I yell and they go silent. The first person throws and Scott catches the ball making them all stop and look at him. "Yeah!" Stiles yells and they keep throwing and Scott keeps catching. "He seems like he's pretty good." Allison said "Yeah, very good." Lydia said and the line gets to me. "Get ready Scotty because this one will be the one you can't catch." I say under my breath knowing he can hear me. "Oh god." Scott said and I throw the ball and Scott misses it.
Jackson gets pissed and he pushes his way to the front of the line pushing me back some. "Really Jax?" I ask and Jackson goes running towards Scott. Jackson jumps in the air throwing the ball. Scott catches the ball making me stare at him in shock. "That is my friend!" Stiles yells out. Lydia cheers for Scott making Jackson turn to look at her and she shrugs at him. I walk up beside him and get close to his ear. "Aw is your little girlfriend cheering another guy on? Sucks to be you." I say and Scott throws the ball towards the Ref's net. I step away from Jackson cheering for Scott.

Scott, Stiles and I are walking through the woods trying to find Scott's inhaler. We walk through a small creek. "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 can hear stuff I shouldn't be able to hear. Smell things." Scott said "Smell things? Like what?" Stiles asked "Like Mint Mojito gum in your pocket." Scott and I say in sync. "I don't even have any mint mojito..." Stiles feels in his pocket and pulls out the piece of gum. Scott raises his arms up before continuing to walk. "So all this started with the 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 making Scott stop.
"Are you serious?" Scott asked "Yeah. Yeah, I think it's called lycanthropy." Stiles said and I have to look away from them towards the woods so I don't laugh. That's when I notice we're being watching by a guy in dark clothing with dark hair. I look around us and in the day time I notice we're actually on the Hale property. "What's that? Is that bad?" Scott asked and I spin my head around to look at Scott in shock. "Oh, yeah, it's the worst. But only once a month." Stiles said "Once a month?" Scott asked and he still wasn't catching on. "Mmm-hmm. On the night of the full moon." Stiles and I howl in sync making Scott push us. "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!"He holds his hands up mimicking claws growling. "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 Fridays the full moon." Stiles said "Silver doesn't hurt werewolves." I say
"No, I could have sworn this was it. I saw the body, the deer came running. I dropped my inhaler." Scott said as he's moving leaves around. I drop down beside him doing the same. "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 "There's another one at home." I say and suddenly both Scott and I are hit on the shoulder. Both of us turn around and I see that guy from earlier making me stand up and Scott does the same. The guy walks towards us and as he gets closer I feel that I know him from somewhere. "What are you doing here? Huh? This is private property." The guy said "Uh, sorry, man, we didn't know." Stiles said "Yeah, we were just looking for something, but... uh, forget it." Scott said and the guy throws Scott's inhaler at him and he catches it. The guy turns around and walks away. "All right, come on, we gotta get to work." Scott said and Stiles hits Scott. "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, 10 years ago." Stiles said "It was 6 years ago." I say holding my arm where the burn scar still was from the fire. "I wonder what he's doing back." Scott said "Come on." Stiles said and he starts walking. Scott follows but I just stare at the direction Derek went. Stiles comes walking back. "Amy come on." Stiles said dragging me out of my thoughts.

I walk with Scott to the front door where he was going to lock up. I heard the wolf howling from inside the building. He flips the closed sign. We go into the clinic bathroom to change the bandage on our bites. Scott takes the bandage off of his bite first and his isn't there anymore which means it healed. He looks at me shocked and I take mine off too and see that mine is also completely healed. I help him carry a bag of cat food into the cat room. "Hey kitties." Scott said and they start going crazy. We back out of the room and shut the door. There was a suddenly knocking on the front door. We go to the front door and I see Allison soaking wet and crying. Scott opens the door. "I didn't see it. I took my eyes off the road for, like, two seconds to change the song on my iPod, and then this dog, it just came out of nowhere!" Allison said hysterically. "It's all right, it's all right. Do you remember where it happened so I can send Animal Control to find it?" Scott asked
"No! I mean, yes, I know where I hit it, but the dog is..." Allison said "Where is it?" I ask walking towards them. "It's in my car." Allison said and the three of us run out to her car. She opens the trunk and the dog barks and growls making her jump back towards Scott. "You okay?" Scott asked "She's just frightened." I say "That makes two of us." Allison said "Lia you try. Animals love you." Scott said and I step towards the dog. I hold my hand out for the dog to sniff my hand before it nudges my hand to let me pet it. Something happens to my eyes and the dog starts whimpering. Scott and I get the dog inside. Allison had calmed down by now. "I think her leg is broken. I've seen the doctor do plenty of splints. I can do it myself and then give her a painkiller for now." I say "Yeah, I have a shirt in my bag." Scott said "Oh, I don't want to trouble you." Allison said and Scot quickly grabs his shirt from his bag. "Here." Scott said and she goes into the exam room to change. He looks over and I see him staring at her bare back. I smack his head and he looks at me. "Don't stare, it's creepy." The dog whimpered in agreement. "See Scott even the dog agrees." I say "What? I didn't see anything." Scott said
I'm splinting the dogs leg when Allison walks back in. She stands beside Scott. "Thanks for doing this. I feel really stupid." Allison said "How come?" Scott asked "I don't know. Cause I freaked out like a total girl." Allison said "You are a girl." Scott said "I freaked out like a girly girl, and I'm not a girly girl." Allison said "What kind of girl are you?" Scott asked "Tougher then that. At least, I thought I was." Allison said "Hey, I'd be freaked out, too. In fact, I'd probably cry. And not like a man, either. Like the biggest girly girl ever. It's be pathetic." Scott said
"Yeah, right." Allison said "So, it looks like she's gonna live." I say "And I'm pretty sure she'll even let you pet her now, if you want." Scott said "I don't think so." Allison said "Oh, come on. You don't want her to sue. I hear this breed is very litigious." I move away from the table so Scott and Allison could come to the table. She pets the dog. Scott stares at her as she's petting the dog. "See? She likes you." Scott said "What?" Allison asked "Sorry. You have an eyelash on your cheek." Scott said "Oh. It's from the crying." She wipes her face. Scott reaches up and wipes the eyelash off her face. "Thanks." Allison said "Yeah." Scott said and he walks her out. I clean up everything that I used not paying attention to Scott and Allison's conversation.

"Scott! Scott, Amy, wait up." Stiles said running over to us. "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 LA. They found animal hair on the body from the woods!" Stiles said "Stiles, I gotta go." Scott said "Wait, no! Scott!" Scott walks away. "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 "I guess I was wrong." Stiles said "Yeah I guess. We'll talk later okay? I gotta get to the field. Don't want Coach on my ass." I say before running to the field. "Let's go! Gather round! Bring it in, come on!" We all surround Coach. I'm standing between Jackson and Stiles. I see Allison wave at Scott so Scott waves 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 making me laugh. "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. You're parents are proud. Your girlfriend loves ya! Huh? Everything else is, uh, cream cheese. Now, get out there and show me what you got!" Coach said and everyone starts yelling. "Let's go! Let's go!" Jax yells.
Scott gets the ball but Jackson knocks him down. Jackson and Scott go head to head but somehow Scott manages to steal the ball from Jackson making Jackson confused. Scott runs down the field passing everyone and then he jumps over a couple players making the goal. I stop and stare at him in shock. Everyone is cheering and Jackson comes to stand beside me taking his helmet off. "McCall! Get over here!" Scott goes over to Coach taking his helmet off. "What in gods 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 was just trying to make the shot." Scott said "Yeah, well, you made the shot. And guess what? You're starting, buddy. You made first line." Coach said and I run up to Scott. "Congrats big bro." I say

Stiles was searching things on his computer. I was going through different lore books about Werewolves even though I already knew everything there was to know. There was a knock at Stiles' door making him jump. He walks to his door and he opens the door. My brother is standing on the other side. "Get in." Scott walks in the room. "You gotta see this, dude. We've been up all night reading. Websites, books. All this information." Stiles said and that's when Scott notices me on Stiles' bed and I wave. "How much Adderall has he had today?" Scott asked "A lot." I say "Doesn't matter. Okay, just listen." Stiles said "Is this about the body? Did they find out who did it?" Scott asked throwing his book bag down beside me and sitting on the edge of the bed in front of me.
"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 "It's a signal. When a wolf is alone, it howls to signal its location to the rest of the pack." I say remembering what Talia taught me. "So if you two heard a wolf howling, that means others could have been nearby. Maybe even a whole pack of them." Stiles said "A whole pack of wolves?" Scott asked "No, werewolves." Stiles said and I could feel Scott's demeanor change. He stands up. "Are you seriously wasting my time with this? You know I'm picking up Allison in an hour." Scott said making me scoff rolling my eyes. "Just great." I mumble.
"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, Scotty. You made an incredible shot." Stiles puts Scott's bookbag back on his bed. "I mean, the way you moved, your speed, your reflexes. People can't just suddenly do that overnight." I say and I go stand against Stiles' desk incase this goes the way I think it will. "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." Stiles said "Okay! Dude, I can't think about this now. We'll talk tomorrow." Scott said "Tomorrow? What? No! The full moons 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. Everything in my life is somehow perfect. Why are you trying to ruin it?" Scott asked making me scoff. "He's trying to fucking help." I say starting to get pissed.
"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." Stiles stands up. "You gotta cancel this date. I'm gonna call her right now." Stiles said and he starts going through Scott's bag for his phone. "What are you doing?" Scott asked "I'm canceling the date." Stiles said "No, give it to me!" Scott pushes Stiles into the wall holding his fist up like he's going to punch him.
I stand up from where I'm leaving on the desk and go to walk towards them when Scott hits Stiles' desk chair knocking it over. Scott is breathing heavily and he looks at Stiles. "I'm sorry. I gotta go get ready for that party." Scott walks to Stiles' bed grabbing his bag and walking to the door. "I'm sorry." Scott said and he leaves. Stiles hits his head on the wall behind him. He walks over to his chair picking it up and I see three slash marks from what could be claws on the back. "So I was right?" Stiles asked looking at me. "Yeah you were. I thought an alpha bit us but wasn't sure until now. But this means that we need to go to this party." I say and he nods. "I'll pick you up from your house." Stiles said "Okay. I'll see you later." I say hugging him before leaving.

Mom is standing against the wall outside Scott's bathroom. I'm sitting on his bed still pissed at him for the whole thing at Stiles' house. "Mom!" Scott said holding his towel so it doesn't fall. "Is this a party of a date?" Mom asked "Maybe both." Scott said "And her name is?" Mom asked "Allison." Scott said "Allison. Nice." Mom said holding the keys out to him. "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 making me laugh falling backwards. "Oh, my god. No, I meant about keeping the tank full. Give me those back." Mom said taking the keys back. "Are you serious?" Scott asked "You bet your ass I'm serious. I'm not gonna end up on some reality television show with a pregnant 16-year-old. Come on!" Mom exclaimed "Good job Scotty." I say walking out after mom.
Once Scott leaves I sit on the couch beside Mom. "So what do you think about Allison?" Mom asked "Umm." I say "What? Is it bad?" Mom asked "You remember six years ago when I was in the Hale House fire but Peter Hale got me out of the house before I got hurt any worse then this?" I ask and show her my arm. "Yeah I was scared to death that day when Noah called me to tell about it. But what does that have to do with Allison?" Mom asked "You can't tell Scott I'm telling you this and he can't know that you know about this." I say and she looks at me confused. I think back to all the times I saw Derek turn. I look down and I feel my eyes glow and I look back up.
"I'm a werewolf. Scott is too. We were bit by an alpha the night before school started back. Tonight is our first full moon." I repeat Alpha, Beta, Omega in my head and my eyes go away. "Most of the Hales were werewolves. Cora, Laura, Talia, and Peter was all werewolves. So is Derek. But what it has to do with it is Allison's Aunt Kate set the Hale House fire. No one knows this of course but I saw her that night along with some other people too. Allison's family are all werewolf hunters. They are supposed to have a code "Nous chassons ceux qui nous chassent". Which is "we hunt those who hunt us". But there was humans besides myself in that house when Kate set fire to it. But I never told anyone because who's going to believe a little 10 year old girl who had just went through the trauma of watching her best friend die?" I hear Stiles' jeep pull up and stop. "Stiles is here. I got to go. Bye mom love you." I say "He hasn't even honk-" Stiles honks his horn to let me know that he's outside. "All right. Bye love you too. Have fun and be safe. Watch out for your brother." Mom said "Will do." I say and I leave to get in the jeep.

I walk in the party and I see that Scott and Allison just got here. I look up and I see Derek standing near the gate with the dog. Derek watches us. I hear Allison say something making me look that way and once I look back Derek is climbing on the roof. I see the moon and I try to ignore it and go get a drink. Soon I'm holding a cup and dancing between a guy and a girl. I look over and I see Jackson and Lydia making out against the side of her house. Lydia is staring at me the entire time Jackson is kissing her neck. I growl quietly and turn back to the people I'm dancing with downing my drink. I go get me another drink and as I'm getting another drink I feel a sharp headache suddenly appear making me stumble. I stumble through the house and through the crowd of people. "Amy? Are you okay?" Stiles said who I faintly see. I keep walking out the door. I see Scott at the car and I bump into Allison to walk by her. "Scott!" I exclaimed and he stops looks at me and I quickly run towards the car getting in and he drives off.
Scott gets home and he stumbles to his room. I follow him and he goes to his bathroom but he leaves the door open so I sit on his bed with my head in my hands when suddenly my fingers and my gums start hurting. I rush into the bathroom and look in the mirror. My eyes are glowing the amber color. I look down at my hands and I have claws. Scott comes and stands beside me wiping the mirror off from the steam from the shower. There's knocking on Scott's bedroom door. "Go away." Scott and I say in sync. "Scott, Amy, it's me." Scott goes to the door and unlocks it but stays against the door keeping Stiles from coming in. "Let me in, Scott. I can help." Stiles said "No! Listen, you gotta find Allison." Scott said "She's fine, all right? I saw her get a ride from the party. She's... she's totally fine. All right?" Stiles asked and I feel another sharp pain making me groan. "Dere." I mumble and quickly crawl out onto the roof before jumping down off of the roof to the ground. I feel myself fully transform and I look to the sky roaring letting Derek know I'm coming to find him. I run off to the woods.
I follow Derek's sent to the preserve. I run past Dereks car and then I hear something or someone running behind me and I spin around seeing Scott in the distance. I run off into the woods following Dereks sent. "Dere." I say once I know I'm close to him. "Mia." Derek said grabbing me. I turn around to face him. "I can't control it. I was able to earlier with my mom but now even repeating what Talia taught us doesn't work." I say "Find an anchor. You remember anchors right?" I nod before thinking about my friends until Stiles sticks out in my mind and I feel myself start calming down. "Good you got it. Who was it?" Derek asked "Stiles." I say "The sheriff's son? The one that was out here with you and your brother?" Derek asked "Yes. But right now that isn't important. Scott will be coming this way soon." I say
At that moment Scott comes towards us. I notice Allison's jacket on the tree. "Where is she?" Scott asked "She's safe. From you." Derek said and he jumps at him and they both start rolling around on the ground. Derek puts him against the tree. I run over to them. "What did you do with her?" Scott asked "Ssh! Quiet." I hear people walking around and I know it's the hunters. "Too late. They're already here. Run." Derek said and he goes running. I follow him and I see a flash bolt get shot into the tree in front of Scott blinding him. Which allows one of them to shoot an arrow into Scott's arm pinning him to the tree. "Damn it." I mumble and I stop beside of Derek. "Take him." One of the hunters said. "Thats fucking Chris." I say quietly to Derek. Derek runs behind them knocking two out the way. I run up to Scott breaking the arrow and we all three run away.
Scott falls against the tree once we get away from them. I'm still transformed looking around to see if I saw them. "Who were they?" Scott asked and I ignore him. "Hunters." Derek and I turn back towards Scott and I change back human. "The kind who have been hunting us for centuries." Derek said "Us? You mens 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 "The bite is a gift." Derek said "I don't want it." Scott said "You will. And you're gonna need me if you want to learn how to control it. So you and me, Scott, we're brothers now." Derek said and I bite my lip to stop myself from laughing.

I was walking beside of Scott who was still holding his arm. Stiles drives up beside us in the jeep and stopped. I climb in the backseat and Scott gets in the front. "You know what actually worries me the most?" Scott asked and I lean up between the seats. "If you say Allison, I'm gonna punch you in the head." I say "She probably hates me now." Scott said and I smack him in the head before groaning and 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 fricking 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 both of you up myself on full moon nights and feed you live mice. I had a boa once. I could do it." Stiles said and I laugh.

After school I walk up to the Hale House. I walk up the steps and into the house. I'm hit with memories of my time spent here. Memories from sleep overs with Cora, Derek and Laura to the day of the fire. Cora and I were both sick and since Mom had to work Talia offered to watch me until Mom could come get me. Peter managed to get me out before going back to try and get other people out. Thanks to Peter I only suffered a burn on my arm which couldn't be said the same for the rest of them. I'm brought out of my thoughts by seeing Derek standing at the top of the staircase. "I don't know how you stay here. I couldn't step foot anywhere near here after what happened. You know I thought that was you in the woods the day after I was bit but I wasn't sure. I know the alpha isn't you and I don't see Laura so who is it?" I ask "Mia, Laura is dead." Derek said making tears well up in my eyes. "T-The body that the cops found the night I got bit. The one that got cut in half. Was that her?" He doesn't respond which gives me my answer. "Was it the Argents? She was cut in half. It's their signature." I say "I don't know but I intend to find out." Derek said "I'll help you. But Derek I hate to be the one to say this but what about Peter?" I ask "Peter hadn't moved in 6 years. You think he's the Alpha?" Derek asked "Trust me Derek I know he hasn't moved. I go visit him once a week if I can. But we can't rule out that possibility." I say
