Running with Wolves

Chapter 15

I was spinning around my room, I heard Stiles laugh, I turned my head and saw him.
He said" Whatcha doing, bub?"
I said" Seeing how dizzy I get before I puke!"
" Don't puke, please, you never make it to the bathroom and then I'm stuck cleaning your puke off the ground." I giggled," It's totally not funny, bubby." I giggled again," It's kinda funny, but not for me, come on, you can play with my blaster and pretend shoot aliens coming out of my chest."
" Yay!" I ran to him, jumping into his arms, he held me and walked into his room.
——
We were walking to the locker room,
Scott said" I'm serious. It's not like the last full moon. I don't feel the same."
Stiles said" Oh, does that include the urge to maim and kill people like me?"
" I swear I don't have the urge to maim and kill you."
" You know, you say that now but then the full moon goes up and out come the fangs and the claws and there's a lot of howling and screaming and running everywhere, okay? And it's very stressful on me and so yes, I'm still locking you up."
" Okay, fine. But I do think I'm in more control now. Especially since things are good with Allison." I held onto Stiles' arm,
" Okay, I'm aware of how good things are with Allison."
" They're really good."
" I- Thank you, I know."
" I mean, like, really good." I giggled, Stiles raised his arm, I whined and attached to his side.
" All right, I get it! Just please shut the hell up before I have the urge to maim and kill myself."
" Did you get something better than handcuffs this time?"
" Yeah, much better." He opened the locker and the chains started falling out. Coach walked over to us, I looked at Scotty and Stiles,
Coach said" Part of me wants to ask. The other part says knowing will be more disturbing than anything I could ever imagine. So... I'm gonna walk away."
" That's good. That's a wise choice, Coach." They crouched down, picking up the chains, I wrapped my arms around Stiles' neck. I smelled something funny, my eyes glowed, I whimpered, looking at Scotty." You okay? Scott." I ran to Scott, holding onto his hoodie,
Scott said" There's another. In here, right now."
" Another what?"
" Another werewolf." I started chewing on Scott's hoodie, tugging at it, he and Stiles sighed.

We were at the bench,
Scott said" It was kind of like a scent, but I couldn't tell who it was."
Stiles said" What if you can get him one on one? Would that help?"
" Yeah."
" Okay. I think I got an idea." He ran away, I whined loudly, Scott's arms wrapped around me.
I whined" Want Stiles."
Scotty said" What about a big laffy taffy?"
" Want candy!" He unwrapped half of it and gave it to me, I began gnawing on it.
After a few minutes, Stiles ran back with goalie stuff,
He said" I told coach you're switching with Danny for the day."
Scott said" But I hate playing goal."
" Remember when I said I had an idea? This is the idea."
" Oohh."
" There we go."
" What's the idea?"
" I seriously don't understand how you survive without me sometimes." I giggled,
Coach yelled" Let's go! Line it up!" They got up, I whined, going to follow Stiles,
" No, no... stay, Riley, stay." I pouted then sat on the bench, chewing on the laffy taffy bar. Scotty was being weird, he tackled a player, he kept sniffing players, I guess this is Stiles' plan. After a few players, the one in front of Stiles was breathing really hard, then I saw daddy. Scott and the player were staring at each other, then they looked at daddy and two deputies.

Scott said" His father's dead. They think he was murdered."
Stiles said" Are they saying he's a suspect?"
" I'm not sure, why?"
" Because they can lock him up in a holding cell for 24 hours."
" Like, overnight?"
" During the full moon."
" How good are these holding cells at holding people?"
" People, good. Werewolves, probably not that good."
" Stiles, remember when I said I don't have the urge to maim and kill?"
" Yeah."
" He does."
——
Scott said" Why would Derek choose Isaac?"
Stiles said" Peter told me that if the bite doesn't turn you it could kill you. And maybe teenagers have a better chance at surviving."
" Does being a teenager mean your dad can't hold him?"
" Well, not unless they have solid evidence. Or a witness. Wait." Stiles put me onto Scott's lap, before turning to Danny," Danny. Where's Jackson?"
Danny said" In the principal's office talking to your dad."
" What? Why?"
" Maybe because he lives across the street from Isaac."
Scott said" Witness."
Stiles said" We gotta get to the principal's office."
" How?"
Their teacher said" Everyone please turn to page 73." Then Scott threw a paper ball at his head," Who in the hell did that?" Scott and Stiles pointed at each other.

We were outside the principal's office, I was still chewing on the laffy taffy bar. Then Daddy came out, Stiles flailed around, I tilted my head, then copied him, hiding my face under Scott's hoodie.
Daddy said" Hi, Scott." I heard him walk away,
Their principal said" Boys. Come on in." I looked at Scott, the man smelled like Allison but meanerer. I guess he's an Argent.
We went in, He said" Scott McCall. Academically not the most accomplished, but I see you have become quite the star athlete. Mr. Stilinski. Oh, perfect grades but little to no extracurriculars. Maybe you should try lacrosse."
Stiles said" Oh, actually I'm already-"
" Hold on. McCall. You're the Scott that was dating my granddaughter."
Scott said" We were dating but not anymore. Not dating, not seeing any of each other or doing anything with each other... at all."
" Relax, Scott, you look like you're about to crack a cyanide pill with your teeth."
" Just a hard breakup."
" Oh, that's too bad. You seem like a pretty nice kid to me. Now listen, guys. Yes, I am the principal, but I really don't want you to think of me as the enemy."
Stiles said" Ha, is that so?"
" However, this being my first day, I do need to support my teachers. So unfortunately someone is going to have to take the fall and stay behind for detention." He looked at Stiles, then Scott looked at Stiles, Stiles looked at Scott then huffed... Scott left.
——
I was bouncing around Stiles as we walked out of the school,
He said" Hey, sorry, Harris literally just let me out of detention. Literally. And he had my phone the whole freakin' time. Wait, what guy? They're sending him to the station for Isaac. What was it?" Stiles looked at his phone," Yeah, wolfsbane. It means they're gonna kill him." I ran around the jeep, waiting for Stiles.

I was pulling at my seatbelt, trying to reach Stiles,
He said" Hey, did you slow him down? All right, well, uh, I'm headed to the station right now. Isaac's. Yeah, but not a very good one. And unfortunately we don't really have time to come up with anything better." He put his phone down, I cried," Shh, shh, Bub, it's okay, right here, dude, no reason to freak out on me, okay?" I whined," Okay, you're already freaking out, great... okay, okay, uh... I'm right here, bub, not gonna let anything happen to my favorite little brother."
I said" Stiles, out!"
" I am driving, you cannot get out. I'll unbuckle you as soon as we stop, okay?" I whined," Just breathe, okay?" I breathed," See, all better!" I giggled, smiling," There we go, all better!"

We were at daddy's job, Derek was with us now,
Stiles said" Okay, now the keys to every cell are in a password protected lockbox in my father's office. The problem is getting past the front desk."
Derek said" I'll distract her."
" Whoa, whoa, whoa- you?" Derek looked at Stiles, he was holding Derek's shoulder." You're not going in there. I'm taking my hand off."
" I was exonerated."
" You're still a person of interest."
" An innocent person."
" An- you? Yeah, right! Okay, fine. What's your plan?"
" To distract her."
" Uh-huh. How? By punching her in the face? Unh."
" Heh, by talking to her." I was trying to eat peanut better, Stiles gave me a jar, and I ate it. Now it's sticking every where in my mouth!
" Okay, all right. Give me a sample. What are you gonna open with?" Derek looked at him," Dead silence. That should work beautifully. Any other ideas?"
" I'm thinking about punching you in the face." I giggled, Stiles looked at me, then they got out, Stiles unbuckled me and lifted me up. I laid my head on his shoulder, nuzzling my face into his neck.
We walked in, Derek was talking to the front desk deputy, Stiles walked into the back. He held me on one arm as he unlocked the box, but there were no keys. Then I heard jingling, I whimpered,
Stiles said" Oh, no." He put me down, I held onto his hand as we walked, we ran into a deputy, I saw the blood on his leg, arrow... Allison!, I gulped, gripping Stiles' hand." Uh, just looking, um... oh, sh-" The man grabbed Stiles, I breathed heavily, Stiles! Stiles!
I said" Stiles!" Stiles pulled the fire alarm, I ran pass the hunter, I whimpered as I saw the cell door broken. I turned and saw Isaac, I gulped, backing away, they came in, then Isaac grabbed the hunter. I ran to Stiles, Stiles slid across the ground and against the wall, Isaac threw the hunter against the other wall, and the hunter tried to stab Isaac with a needle but Isaac broke his arm, then knocked him out. Derek stomped on the needle, Isaac looked at Stiles, I growled. Derek roared, I covered my ears, squeezing my eyes shut, I opened my eyes once he stopped. I saw Isaac back to normal,
Stiles said" How did you do that?"
Derek said" I'm the alpha." I held onto Stiles, digging my face into his shoulder, whimpering. I heard Derek grab Isaac and leave. After a few more minutes,
I heard Stiles say" Uh, he did it."
