"Scott, don't even try to play tomorrow, you know you're just gonna sit on the bench for the whole rest of the season." I said. I was sitting on his bed as he paced back and fourth in his room. "No, Alex, I'm not! I'm playing this year you just watch- did you hear that?" He asked. "Hear what?" Of course I heard it. I have awesome hearing. "Lets to check. It sounded like an animal..." He grabbed his baseball bat, and slowly walked down the stairs with me behind him. "Check the porch." I said as we walked outside. We turned the corner and stopped. The leaves rustled and Stiles appeared out of nowhere, hanging. "Stiles, what the hell are you doing?!" Scott screamed. "You weren't answering your phone! Why do you have a bat?"

"He thought you were a predator." I smirked. Stiles hopped back down onto the ground. "Alright, you guys gotta hear this. I saw my dad leave twenty minutes ago, dispatch called."

"Get to the point, Stilinski."I grumbled.

"They're bringing in every officer from the Beacon department and even state police."

"For what?" Scott and I said together.

"Two joggers found a body in the woods,"

"A dead body?" Scott screeched.

"No, a body of water. Yes, dumbass a dead body." I said.

"You mean, like murdered?"

"Nobody knows yet, just that it was a girl, probably in her twenties." Stiles said.

"Hold on. If they found the body, then what are they looking for?" I asked. "That's the best part," Stiles said excitedly. "They only found half. We're going." Stiles led us to his beat up jeep, and Scott climbed in the back while I sat next to Stiles.

We rolled up to the preserve, and hopped out. "Are we seriously doing this?" Scott growled. "You're the one who's always bitching that nothing ever happens in this town. Besides, it's our last night of summer freedom." I growled back. "But I was trying to get a good nights sleep before practice tomorrow."

"Yeah, because sitting on the bench is such a grueling effort."

"No, because I'm playing this year. In fact, I'm gonna make starting lineup."

"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 asked. "Huh, never really thought of that." Stiles said. "And, what if whoever killed the body is still out here?"

"Also something I didn't think about."

"Nice to know you planned this out with your usual attention to detail."

"I know." He chuckled, and Scott rested against a tree, shaking his inhaler. "Maybe the severe asthmatic should be the one holding the flashlight." Stiles and I slowed down, not because of Scott, but we saw lots of cops with search dogs and flashlights. We all smiled, and crawled over to get a better look. "Guys! Wait up!" Scott yelled/whispered. We circled around, and saw a cloth draped over a shape in a stretcher. "Was that the other half of the body?" I asked. "No," Stiles replied. "They would've called off the search. Come on." Stiles, unable to stay still, bounded forward. "Stiles! Stop!" Scott and I whispered. "Hold it right there!" A cop yelled, pointing his flashlight at Stiles. The dogs started barking violently, and I glared at them, eyes turning electric blue for a few seconds. They calmed down as Sheriff Stilinski stepped forward. "Hold on, hold on. This little delinquent belongs to me. Did you listen to all my calls?"

"No... Not the boring ones." Stiles said. "Ah. And where's your usual partners in crime?"

"What? Scott and Alex? They're home. They said they wanted to get a good nights sleep before school starts back up again. Is just me, in the woods, alone..."

"Scott? Alex? You out there?" He shined his flashlight left and right, calling our names. We hid behind two trees, not making a sound.

"Alright, little man, I'm gonna walk you back to your Jeep and we're going to have a conversation on something called invasion of privacy." He dragged Stiles back to his Jeep, leaving just me and Scott. "Lets get out of here before we get spotted." I whispered to him. I let Scott take the lead, and we tried to retrace our steps back to Scott's house. "Where do we go?" I asked. "How should I know? Lets just take a random path and hope for the best."

"You're just like Stiles."

"I know." He smiled and walked in front of me, away from the cops. Crack, crack.

"What the hell was that?" Scott said, alarmed. "Probably just a squirrel." I tried to calm him down. Suddenly half a dozen deer come running straight at us out of nowhere, and Scott and I fall to the ground, covering our heads. Scott drops his inhaler, and finally the deer disappeared. "You okay?" I ran up to Scott. "Yeah, I think so. My inhaler, damn it.."

"Don't worry, we'll find it. Lets just get out of here." Scott and I took out our phones, and used the light to see where we were going. We walked around, and after a few seconds my phone lit up something. I didn't recognize it at first, but it was the upper half of a dead woman. "Holy shit!" I screamed. Scott ran up to me. "What is it- oh my God."

"Yeah. Time to go?"

"Yeah." We broke into a run, jumping down the hill the way we came. "Hold on, let me catch my breath." Scott leaned against a tree. I heard a growl in the distance and the crack of twigs. The alpha... Oh shit. "You ready, Scott?" I asked in a completely normal voice. "Yeah." We started walking again, and I saw the alpha's beady red eyes in the fog. Scott noticed it too. The alpha lunged at Scott who tried to run but failed. I wolfed out, and slashed at the alpha deep into its back. He whimpered with pain and sped off, but not without giving Scott a good bite on his side. I shifted back to normal before he could see me though. We both bolted back out of the preserve, a car almost running us over. "Nice driving asshole!" I growled. "Scott, you okay?" I looked at him, worried. "Do I look okay? A huge animal bit me!" He lifted his shirt up a few inches, and yep, the alpha bit him pretty good. Blood was oozing out from the marks the teeth left. "You should really get that checked out. Probably patch it up ASAP."

"Lets go home, we have school anyways."

"Alright, bye Scott."

"Bye Alex." The alpha was howling in the distance, Scott looked up as if he expected it to be right above him. I already disappeared, and he began walking down the road back home.
