[ON HOLD] Malia Tate | green yellow... and red

Wolf Moon

I had been hearing loud music coming from my brothers room for at least two hours now, and was still wondering why our mom hadn't come upstairs to tell him to turn it down. It didn't bother me though so I continued to draw as I did most nights. At least for once it wasn't homework so I could do what I wanted.

I got lost in my drawing again when I heard a rustling coming from the bushes outside so I put a hoodie on and ran down the stairs. I found Scott already outside with a bat in his hands. He turned around and shushed me. We walked around the front porch to where the noise was coming from. Stiles fell upside down and hung there as we all screamed and Scott waved his bat around in the air. "Stiles what the hell?!" I shouted.

"He wasn't answering his phone!" He shouted back at me gesturing to my brother, before questioning the bat in his hand.

"We thought you were a predator" Scott explained and Stiles just looked at us like we were idiots before telling us about a body found in the woods. "A dead body?" my brother asked.

"No a body of water. Yes dumbass a dead body" Stiles responded. Scott asked him what they were looking for if they already found the body. "That's the best part. They only found half" he said.

"We're going" I said.

We got in Stiles' jeep and drove to Beacon Hills Preserve and got out before setting off through the trees. I walked in silence as Stiles and my brother argued about the fact that he wanted to get a goodnights sleep before lacrosse practice the next day. I was the only one of us who ever actually got to play, coach liked me for some reason making me the only girl on the team.

We all dropped to the floor as we saw the flashlights of police officers shining through the trees. Stiles stood up and started running in their direction. Me and Scott close behind. A deputy caught Stiles and me and my brother hid behind a tree not wanting to get caught.

His dad, the sheriff, asked about us as we were always together. "They're home, said they wanted a good nights sleep before school tomorrow." They left in the direction of his jeep.

"Damn" Scott said. We set off walking back through the woods, before stopping for him to use his inhaler.

"I am forever grateful not to be the asthmatic sibling" I said. Not even a second later a herd of deers came bounding through the trees knocking us on the floor causing Scott's inhaler to fly out of his hand.

We stood up and tried to find his inhaler with our phone torches. "RUBY!" He shouted. I ran over to him and saw him looking at the top half of the dead body on the ground and I screamed jumping backwards, conveniently down a hill rolling to the bottom. Scott slid down after me hitting his back on a tree and shouting. We stood up at the bottom and barely collecting ourselves we heard a growl and turned around to see what looked like a giant wolf, with glowing eyes looking straight at us.

It ran towards us and grabbed Scott, causing him to shout out in pain and I chased after him, hitting the creature with a stick making it let go and bite my leg, but it let go soon after and we stood up and ran as fast as we could till we reached the road, a car almost hitting us. Scott looked down and pulled his hoodie up revealing a large bite mark. "Looks like it hurt" I said to him. "Yeah no shit." he responded. I pulled up the leg of my joggers to see a similar wound on my calf. We set off walking home  hearing howling in the distance. 

We met Stiles in the morning and he asked to see the bites. Scott must have told him what happened last night. "I'm pretty sure it was a wolf" He said.

"Yeah looked like it, it was quite dark though" I added.

"No not a chance." Stiles said.
