The new kid

part 16

"Hey Stiles you ready to head back?" Lydia asks making Stiles snap right out of his thoughts.

"Uh... Yeah. Lets go." Stiles replies trying to seem normal. Malia gives Stiles an awkward look but soon brushes it off. The three walk back to their table and sit down with everyone else. Stiles doesn't make eye contact with anyone. He just looks down at the ground nervously biting his lip. A few people take notice of this but decide not to take action, except Scott. He reaches out for Stiles hand and holds it in his. Stiles then looks up for the first time and stares into Scott's brown eyes. He gives him a small smile, soon to be followed by Scott smiling in return. The two boys just stare deeply into eachothers eyes, until Liam and Malia notice something outside. The two look at each other before deciding to speak up.

"Did anyone else see that!?" Liam yells out, loud enough for only their table to hear.

"What?" Lydia speaks up, taking the words straight out of everyone else's mouths. Malia then stands up.

"There was something outside... can't you sense it?! It's strong!" Malia calls out before taking a few steps towards the door. Everyone else stands up and they all walk outside. Not knowing what to expect, all the teens are on edge. Stiles sees something fade away behind a tree as if it's walking away.

"OVER THERE!" Stiles yells before running towards the tree. Everyone else soon follows behind Stiles, only a few feet away from him. "AHH SHIT!" Stiles calls out, which makes Scott run even faster.

"Stiles! What happened?" Scott yells out.

"It... it had long claws... it struck me! Ow it hurts so much Scotty." Tears start to form in the pale teens eyes as he goes even paler than he already is. Scott grabs on to Stiles hand and watches as black veins crawl up his arms. Stiles winces a little and pulls his hand away from Scott's. "Don't... I don't want you getting hurt too." A few tears roll down Stiles cheek.

"Which way did it go?" Malia speaks up. Stiles raises his hand and points further into the forest. And with that Malia, Liam, Hayden and Kira rush off into the forest. Leaving Scott, Lydia and Jackson alone with Stiles.

"I'll be fine... just let me take your pain Stiles." Scott says purely, staring into Stiles teary eyes.

"No I can't. I don't want you getting hurt because of me..." Stiles says shaking a lot.
"I'll be fine. It's not even that bad." Scott then lifts up Stiles shirt to see What happened. Three big scratches ran across Stiles chest, blood seeping out of it all. Stiles chest rose up and down really fast as he kept breathing short, fast breaths.

Soon a yelp can be heard from further in the woods. "Th-that sounded like Malia! Scott! Go!" Stiles calls out.

"I'm not leaving you!" Scott yells back.

"Malia could be in trouble! Which means the other are too! Go Scott! I'll be fine! Plus I have Lydia and Jackson here. Now go!" Stiles says through heavy breaths. Scott hesitates... but he goes. He runs as fast as he can through the forest until he sees Malia on the ground with everyone else standing around in an attacking formation. Malia soon stands back up again holding onto her stomach. There's a large gash going across her leg. And another going across her stomach. Liam has cuts in his arms too. Scott runs up and joins the others  in their stance.

"Hm... none of you are in a pack I see." A young girl says. She looks about the same age as Scott and the others. She has long dark brown hair and piercing green eyes. She was a werewolf but she looked human at the moment. She was wearing dark blue jeans that were rolled up at the bottom with a flannel covered up by an unzipped hoodie. Similar to Stiles sense of fashion.

"Who are you! And what do you want?" Scott calls out soon going full wolf. Soon enough 3 other people walk out and stand next to this mysterious girl.
