WOLF MOON
It ’ s been a week since I learned that there are supernatural creatures living in our world . They are creepy , they scare the hell out of me , but they ’ re real . That ’ s the only notion that I ’ m holding onto to stay alive . I ’ ve only met two werewolves in my life ; Scott and Derek . Scott is my best friend . So , I guess I can tolerate his supernatural powers . But Derek … I don ’ t trust him . I ’ m not saying that I would be satisfied if I ’ d killed him . ( Which is partly true .) But I don ’ t like him either .
We were heading to Derek ’ s house ( if we can call it a house ) in the woods . I always remind myself not to make jokes of his past , but I just can ’ t help it . All kidding aside , he got over many difficulties . Hunters burned their house and he almost lost all of his family members . Only his older sister and uncle got out of the fire alive . Still , his uncle was in a coma for six years . A huge wound covered the one side of his face . Staying motionless in a bed for six years , probably felt terrible for a werewolf .
On the day that Scott got bitten by an Alpha , ( most powerful werewolf ) we were actually looking for his older sister ’ s body . My dad ’ s the sheriff of the Beacon Hills Police Station . That was how we learned Derek ’ s older sister was murdered . I thought dead bodies didn ’ t scare me at all . But this one was terrifying . Her body was cut in half and half was missing . Therefore , we thought we might find the other half near Derek ’ s house .
When we arrived , we took out two flashlights and two shovels ( in case the body was buried ) from the trunk . We walked through the black polished gate . Derek ’ s destroyed house was shining with the moonlight . The ancient oak trees were covering the garden . “ Where are we going to search first ?” I asked . Scott didn ’ t answer . He stopped and closed his eyes . When he opened , they were glowing in yellow . He was transformed into a werewolf . “ Someone ’ s here .” he whispered . “ Another werewolf is here .”
We both turned our back and saw a pair of glowing eyes . They were focused on us . “ Run !” Scott shouted . He ran to the left , I ran to the right . I was running without looking where I was going . I was running so fast . For a moment , I thought my lungs were going to explode . When I felt weak enough , I slowed down my pace , I looked back . Nothing was coming after me . I looked around for a hideout . The best option was sneaking into the house from the back door . I kicked the door and it swung open . If the werewolf didn ’ t come after me , then it ’ s chasing Scott . He can ’ t control his power . He has no chance next to a full werewolf . It ’ ll rip his throat out . I had to save him , but what could I do ? I ’ m just a hyperactive teenager . The floor creaked whenever I took a step . However , I was still trying to walk on my tiptoes ? I was afraid the werewolf would hear me .
After a couple of dozen hallways , I finally reached the staircase . When I put my feet on the first step , a hand clutched my shoulder . I turned around so quickly that I fell down on the stairs with such a force . When I tried to get up , I realized that the hand belonged to Scott . I took a deep , relieved breath and found the strength to talk . “ You freaked me dude . Warn me next time when you try to scare me .” I said in a sarcastic way . He didn ’ t respond , again . Something wasn ’ t normal about him . His skin was more pale than normal . His werewolf eyes weren ’ t glowing in yellow — they were red . “ Nice to meet you stiles .” he said . “ I ’ ve been looking for you .” He transformed into something else that I ’ ve never seen before . He was fast enough to bite me with his sharp teeth . I just felt the pain that covered my body . And then nothing . Just ... Nothing .
