the first game

|Hale house|

After meeting up at the entrance of the woods with Stiles Scott then tells Stiles to drive to the burned down Hale house. Pulling up to the house after they waited a few minutes for Derek to leave they get out of the car carrying shovels and Stiles additionally brought a Flashlight. "Let's just get this over with!" Scott says beginning to dig where he saw freshly overturned earth.

After they dug up to about their waist height Scott says "This is taking way too long."

"Just keep digging." says

"What do we do if he comes back?" Scott asks Stiles.

"Then we get the hell outta here." Stiles replies as if it were obvious.

"What if he catches us?" Scott further inquires.

"I have a plan for that." Stiles says not sounding very confident.

"Which is?" Scott asks doubting his best friends to plan a decent exit strategy.

"You run one way, I run the other, whoever he catches first too bad." Stiles explains shrugging.

"I hate that plan." Scott says shaking his head.

Stiles then feels something beneath his shovel as he digs and says "Oh stop stop stop." stopping Scott from trying to dig further down. Scott and Stiles then throw their shovels to the side and begin to uncover whatever is hidden here with their hands. Shoveling away the dirt on the mystery object Scott and Stiles soon see some kind of rope which is tied around a cloth piece quite extensively. After fumbling with the knots they finally get it open and it reveals the head of a wolf.

Both boys jump out of the hole screaming freaked out of their minds.

"What the hell is that?" Stiles screams.

"That's a wolf." Scott says shocked.

"Yeah I can see that, but this doesn't make sense I mean we are looking for half of a human body not the head of a wolf. OK help me cover this back up" Stiles then says but stops trying to rebury the Wolfs head when he sees a lone flower near them.

"You see that flower?" Stiles asks Scott bringing his focus to the flower in front of them.

"Yeah what about it?" Scott asks not knowing where Stiles is going with this.

"I think it's wolfs bane." Stiles answers.

"Well what's that?" Scott further inquires still not knowing what Stiles is getting at.

"Have you never seen the wolf man?" Stiles asks surprised.

"Lawren Jamie Jr.?, Claude Rains?, the original classic werewolf movie?" Stiles asks shocked by Scott not knowing such things.

"No! What!" Scott asks loudly wanting Stiles to get to the point.

"Let me see something." Stiles says standing up and dashing to the flower beginning to pull it from the earth to unravel an enormous root that encircled the buried wolfs head. After Stiles finished pulling out the root Scott looks down into the hole again and with a silent "Stiles" alerts his friend to the change that happened in the hole. Following his friends line of view and also looking in the hole Stiles jerks back with a "wow.". In place of the former wolfs head was now the dead upper body of a teenage girl.

Scott then looks at his best friend and says "well I guess now is as good as time as any to tell you.".

"Tell me what?" Stiles asks freaked about the transforming wolfs head and confused as to what Scott wants to tell him.

"You remember when I told you a wolf bit me?" Scott asks wanting to ease his friend into the knowledge about the supernatural.

"Yeah why? Is this the wolf that bit you?" Stiles says thinking he knows what Scott is trying to tell him.

"No, but when I told you it was a wolf I was only half right." Scott confesses.

"What do you mean half right?" Stiles asks now realizing what Scott is implying but that idea is ludicrous.

"I mean it was a werewolf, and I am some kind of were-creature now Eagle apparently. And Derek is also a werewolf but he claims not to be the one that bit me, he says that the one that bit me is the alpha who also killed his sister, and I'm guessing that that's her." Scott answers hoping Stiles will believe him and not send him to Eichen-house.

"So you're telling me that you are a were-eagle and Derek is a werewolf and that more supernatural creatures are lurking around Beacon Hills?" Stiles asks flabbergasted.

"Yeah at least according to Derek, and I know that I'm something different, because I shifted during the last full moon." Scott replies.

"Wow that would have been good to know before going and trespassing on a werewolfs house." Stiles says trying to hide his mind-melt behind humor.

"Well what do you think we should do now? Call your dad? I mean that is the half of the body they are looking for and if Derek wasn't the killer they should be able to prove that right?" Scott asks Stiles for advise on their next move.

"Yeah they can and I guess we have to call my dad, even though I'm not comfortable letting my dad get in the cross hairs of a werewolf dispute." Stiles answers fishing out his phone and calling his dad to tell him what they found at least the non supernatural part.

After calling his dad Stiles turns to Scott and asks now somewhat excited "so is there anything you can do while transformed, can you fly? Can you run real fast? Have you killed somebody?"

getting frightened at the end.

"No! Well except the super speed maybe, I at least don't have my asthma anymore. And when I shifted I got weird vision, as if I had heat vision on." Scott replies.

"Cool, so am I in danger of being mauled?" Stiles asks wanting to be prepared.

"From me. no at least not at the moment but I might loose control during the Lacrosse game like at practice." Scott informs him.

"Good, I mean good that you don't wanna maul me, not good that you blow your fuse while playing Lacrosse."

|3 hours later – hale house|

Stiles' dad arrived about 2 hours ago with some policemen in tow and began to investigate, Scott and Stiles were asked to stay there in order to be questioned. Scott is now watching a police officer leading a cuffed Derek Hale who was asked to come home by the police to a police car. Shortly after Derek was secured in the police vehicle Scott sees Stiles approaching the car and Scott already knowing what Stiles is gonna do mouths "no" to him looking worried. Despite Scotts warning Stiles opens the passenger side door and gets in, meanwhile Scott turns around leaning against Stiles Jeep and pretends not to know that Stiles is in the car in order not to get him into trouble.

As Stiles gets into the car he gets on the passenger seat and turns back to Derek saying "OK just so you know I'm not afraid of you." to which Derek just glared at him with Stiles then responding "OK maybe I am, doesn't matter I just wanna know something the girl you killed she was a werewolf, but she was a different kind kinda like Scott, wasn't she? I mean she could turn herself into an actual wolf and I know from Scott that he can't do that, well eagle in his case. Is that why you killed her?"

"Why are you so afraid of me when it's your friend who's the problem? When he shifts in the field, what do you think everyone will do? Huh? Just keep cheering him on? I can't stop him from playing sadly, but you can. And trust me, you want to!" Derek advises ignoring Stiles previous questions. Stiles father then grabs his son by the arm and pulls him out of the car, pulling him a few steps away from it saying "there stand!" letting Stiles arm go. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" He inquires.

"I'm just trying to help." Stiles replies.

"Aha, well how about you help me understand exactly how you came across this." Mr. Stilinski asks.

"We were looking for Scotts inhaler." Stiles answers sighing.

"Which dropped when?" Mr. Stilinski asks further.

"The other night." Stiles replies.

"The other night when you were out here, looking for the first half of the body?" Stiles father asks waiting for Stiles to realize that he now knows that he lied a few days ago.

"Yes." Stiles answers.

"The night you told me you were alone and Scott was at home." The Sheriff points out.

"Yes. No. Ugh crap." Stiles answers now realizing that he is in trouble.

"So you lied to me?" The Sheriff accuses Stiles.

"That depends how you define lying." Stiles replies like a smartass.

"I define it as not telling the truth, how do you define it?" Stiles father asks, wondering how Stiles is trying to get out of this one.

"reclining your body in a horizontal position?" Stiles answers trying to safe his ass.

"Get the hell outta here." The Sheriff says.

"Absolutely." Stiles says taking off in order to not get himself in even more trouble.

Stiles and Scott enter the Jeep and take off.

In the car Scott says "I can't find anything about wolfsbane being used for burial." looking up the information on his cell.

"Just keep looking, maybe it's like a ritual or something like burial used on a wolf. Or maybe it's like a special skill, like something you have to learn." Stiles says.

"I'll put it on my to do list, I still need to figure out how the hell I'm gonna play in this game tonight." Scott replies sounding lost.

"Maybe it's different for girl werewolfs?" Stiles questions.

"OK stop it." Scott says getting annoyed.

"Stop what?" Stiles asks confused.

"Stop saying werewolf, stop enjoying this so much." Scott says angry and desperate.

"Are you OK?" Stiles asks seeing his friend so bothered.

"No! No I'm not I'm so far from being OK." Scott says beginning to breathe hard.

"Well you're gonna have to accept it Scott, sooner or later." Stiles tells him

"I can't." Scott begins to say.

"Well you're gonna have to!" Stiles cut in.

"No, I can't breathe." Scott says sweating and in pain.

"Pull over." Scott says between grunting.

"Why what's happening?" Stiles asks confused.

Scott opens Stiles bag smelling something from it, revealing the wolfsbane from the grave.

"You kept it?" Scott asks angry.

"Why, what was I supposed to do with it?" Stiles asks not knowing what to do.

"Stop the car!" Scott now orders while beginning to shift.

Stiles immediately hits the break, dashes out while grabbing his backpack with the wolfsbane and throwing it in the woods. "OK, we're good. Scott?" Stiles says turning around to be greeted to the sight of an open passenger side door and a missing Scott.

Stiles gets back in his car and drives out of the woods looking for Scott, on the road he calls the Sheriffs station and asks a police officer who knows him "Hey I need to know if you have gotten any odd calls?"

"Stiles, you know you can't call in any favors while I'm on duty and what do you mean odd?" the female voice says.

"Uh, like an odd person. Or a bird like individual roaming the streets?" Stiles asks hoping to get some clues about Scotts whereabouts.

"I'm hanging up on you now. Goodbye." the officer says ending the call.

|Martin House|

A few hours passed and Scott is now sitting on the roof of Lydias house, looking at her unnoticed through her window while he's completely shifted. Lydia closes her curtains and Scott now sees his reflection on the glass. Shocked by his full transformation with beak, feathers and all he jumps off the roof and wants to run home in hopes no one sees him like this. As he gets to the driveway Lydias mom pulls up and hits Scott who didn't see the car coming. Immediately hitting the breaks Lydias mother gets out of the car and asks Scott worried "Hey are you OK, Scott? I didn't mean to hit you, it's like you came out of nowhere, I'm so sorry."

"Oh that's fine it's my fault, and I'm OK at most I'll get a bruise, sorry for hitting your car" Scott says getting up.

"What are you doing here at this hour anyway?" Lydias mom asks.

Scott was about to answer when the door opens and a worried looking Lydia comes out of her house, having heard the crash and then looked out the window to see the on the ground lying Scott.

"What happened?" Lydia asks worried starting to check Scott for injuries.

"I ran in front of your moms car sorry." Scott answers sheepishly.

"Well looks like you aren't hurt, that's good but what are you doing here?" Lydia asks not knowing why Scott came here. Lydias mother looks at Scott with equal interest since that was her unanswered question as well.

"I was gonna come by tell you I've decided to play tonight and was gonna ask if you were still going to come cheer me on." Scott says smiling shyly.

"Yeah of course I' m coming tonight, even if you weren't playing." Lydia says in hopes of not letting any emotions seep through in order to keep her higher social position but not pulling it off quite completely and sounding very excited that he will play tonight.

"Well since you are playing Scott and I owe you one for hitting you with my car I guess I should come cheer you on as well." Mrs. Martin says smiling and knowing what Lydia was thinking.

"Thanks Mrs. Martin I guess I'll see you both there then in a few." Scott says taking off smiling brightly.

"Oh I really like that boy." Lydias mother tells her.

"Yeah I noticed, and please don't embarrass me at the game, I have a reputation to uphold" Lydia tells her mum.

"Yeah I was just witness to you trying to uphold your reputation and you're not doing a good job at it, not that I can blame you I think even I would have caved to that boy." Mrs. Martin says jokingly.

"Mom!" Lydia shouts annoyed.

"Come on sweetie, we have a game to get ready for." Mrs. Martin says retreating into her home with Lydia.

|Locker room|

Scott is getting ready for the game and notices the other player being up to something and tries to listen in on Jackson but can't because of all the other ambient noise.

Stiles walks by Scott who was putting on his shin guards and comes towards him.

"You're gonna try to convince me not to play?" Scott asks

"I just hope that you know what you're doing." Stiles defends himself.

"If I don't play I'm gonna loose first line and Lydia will probably forget I ever existed again."

"If Lydia will do that, she might do it later on anyway. And it's one game that you really don't need to play." Stiles says trying to make his point.

"I wanna play! I wanna be on the team! And I wanna have a shot with Lydia! I wanna have my freaking normal life. Do you get that?" Scott says desperate.

"I get it." Stiles caves sitting down beside Scott sighing.

"Just try not to worry out there too much OK? Or get too angry, or stressed. Don't think about Lydia being in the stands. Or that hunters are trying to kill you. Or that Derek is trying to kill you, or the girl he killed and that you might kill someone. I'm sorry I'll stop. Good luck." Stiles advises and gets freaked out himself.

|Lacrosse field|

While the players are getting ready the crowd is already pumped up and cheering. Scott and Stiles enter the field together and make their way to the bench. They see Scotts mom waving at him, Lydia and her mother both being very excited for the game and Allison, who smiles at Stiles. She and her father were sitting down like the others. Scott then recognizes Allisons father as the hunter that shot him. Turning to Stiles he asks worried "Do you know who that man there is?"

"Yeah that's Allisons father, I met him the other night." Stiles replies.

"Well he also happens to be the hunter that frickin' shot me!" Scott whispers to Stiles sounding scared.

"Oh crap that's gonna be a problem now that Allison and I have starting dating." Stiles says.

"Congrats, but does it have to be the daughter of the guy who wants to kill me?" Scott asks tired of the universe pulling this crap on him.

"Well I like her so yeah sorry buddy, we'll find a way later on for now worry about the game." Stiles answers trying to cheer Scott up and get his mind back into focus.

Lydia then approaches him grabbing him by his jersey saying "I just want to remember one thing for tonight."

"Uh winning isn't everything?" Scott asks not knowing what she was getting at.

"No dummy, you have to remember that to get your reward, you have to win." Lydia says staring into his eyes smiling, straightening his jersey and patting his chest. She then goes back on the stands and takes a seat next toher mom.

On the bench Coach sits down next to Jackson asking "How's the shoulder?"

"It's fine." Jackson replies.

"Feel any pain?" Coach asks further.

"No." Jackson answers.

"What if I gave it a big old punch, would you feel any pain then?" Coach questions gesturing a punch.

"Maybe." Jackson says.

"Listen just go out there, just give it your best and if you feel any pain, you just.." Coach tries to say

"Just keep playing?" Jackson asks.

"That's my boy." Coach says proud.

The referee then blows his whistle as a sign for the players to get ready. Both teams enter the field and everyone takes their position. While on the field Scott mentally and verbally tries to keep himself in check and hopes that everything will work out. The game starts Scotts team has the ball, Scott runs to the side into a position, from where he can dash forward and try to get closer to the enemies goal but the other players just keep skipping him while passing between each other. One player gets knocked over and the ball falls to the ground Scott sees this and runs towards it intend on picking it up with his stick only for Jackson to shove him from the side to the ground and dashing towards the ball himself, picking it up and scoring a goal.

Everyone on the stands, except for 3 people cheered for Jackson. Those 3 were Scotts mother stunned by Jackson tackling his own team mate who happens to be her son. Lydia, who is pissed at Jackson thinking that this is probably payback for what happened at the hospital and Lydias mother, who now was sure that she preferred Scott to Jackson. Scott looks into the stands and sees Lydia who was kinda forced to stand up to help hold up a banner which says: We luv u Jackson. If Scott wasn't already angry, now he for sure was now, not knowing that Lydia doesn't want to help hold up the banner but doesn't want to be cast out from her "popular kids" group thinking that Lydia was only nice to him as a part of some kind of twisted game.

Stiles seeing this just says "brutal. Oh this is not gonna be good." to himself showing sympathy for Scott and worrying about Scott loosing it.

Scott sees the main players of his team huddled together and hears with his Eagle hearing Jackson saying "Only to me!" Danny then asks "but what if he's open?" "Who is the captain? You or me?" Jackson says playing the rank card.

"C'mon dude I just wanna win." Danny replies.

"We will win!" Jackson says convinced of himself.

"But.." Danny starts only to get stopped by Jackson asking threateningly "What did I say! Now what did I say?"

"Don't pass to McCall." Danny repeats Jacksons orders not agreeing with them.

Jackson punches him as a sign of confirmation and that his orders stand and everyone splits up and gets into position.

Scott hearing this started to feel his vision to change and slaps his helmet hard, that since pain is supposed to control the shift it might help.

Further into the game after being pretty much completely left out by his team Scott begins to change and is keeping a hunched over position to hide his shifted features but starts breathing deeply, to which the referee asks "You OK kid?" and Scott nods his head yes slowly.

Some of the enemy players hearing Scotts deep and dark sounding breaths take a scared step back.

By now the points are Home:3 and Guest:5 which means that currently Beacon Hills is loosing.

The audience near Lydia starts cheering again and Lydia is forced to hold up another Jackson banner. Scott seeing this starts causes his eyes to shift again but he gets them back under control.

During the starting position the enemy player gets the ball and launches it high up behind himself.

Scott seeing this, steps over the enemy players shoulder to catch the ball and begins a run towards the goal. He dodges 5 players one after the other and shoots a goal. The crowd starts cheering loudly and Jackson standing on the field, looks pissed.

The enemy team gets the ball again and the player who gets the ball from the captain sees Scott in front of him and passes him the ball. Scott catches it and takes off towards the goal dodging 4 enemy players and getting a goal by ripping through the keepers net.

Both coaches and the referee argue and by saying "the ball is in the net, we got it" Coach takes the referees whistle blowing it as a sign that they got the goal. Meanwhile Scott is really scared because he can't control the shift again and if the others see him transformed its byebye normal life.

At the next play, the referee says "down." Both Jackson and the other team captain get to starting position and the enemy team captain asks Jackson "Yo, what the hell is up with your team mate man? What the hell is he on?"

Jackson replies "I don't know, yet."

"Set" the referee yells and blows into the whistle signaling the start of the round.

Scott gets the ball passed by Jackson and takes off towards the goal. Getting near it he gets his heat vision, hunches back over again and starts to look around as if searching for prey.

Stiles says from the bench "Oh no Scott, no!" worried, knowing that this can't mean anything good.

Lydia on the stands says "You can do it Scott, you want your reward right?" to herself. Scott hears this, calms down a bit, gets his normal vision back and shoots the goal.

The crowd starts screaming like crazy since Beacon Hills won 6 to 5 in the end.

Scott takes off one of his gloves and looks at his hand seeing that his Talons were beginning to start coming out. He clutches the glove and his hand to his chest and starts running away from the celebrating crowd toward the locker room and shower. Lydia seeing Scott run off, informs her mom "I'll go check on him." taking off after Scott but being considerably slower with her high heels on.

|locker room|

Scott gets into the locker room, takes his helmet off and grunts, walking towards the mirrors. Looking up he sees that he is completely shifted and breaks the mirror by punching it. He then hears Lydia approaching and gets into the shower compartment of the room and prays to god that the pain from punching the mirror will help him shift back to normal.

Lydia hears the Mirror breaking and sees the helmet and the broken glass on the ground and calls "Scott. Scott are you here?" hearing nothing in reply she walks further into the room a little scared by the dark locker room and Scott not showing himself and sees Scott standing in the shower compartment, relaxing she approaches Scott touching his shoulder to get his attention.

Scott without realizing relaxed with Lydia close by and started shifting back, so when he turns around to look at Lydia he is back to normal and a quick look at his non talon fingers confirms this for him.

"Scott? You scared me are you alright?" Lydia asks.

"Yeah sorry I just got kinda light headed, maybe it's my asthma acting up though it recently got better."

"Or it could be the adrenaline. You did a pretty good job out there." Lydia says smiling at Scott.

"Sorry for acting really weird today with the coming to your house and all." Scott apologizes.

"It's OK, I actually thought it was sweet that you took the time to check if I would make it." Lydia replies.

"OK I have to be honest, you make me kinda nervous." Scott says.

"I do? Well that's no surprise I make everyone nervous." Lydia answers thinking it to be normal.

"Well yeah but it's a different kind of nervous for me, I don't care much for your social status. But you astonish me and I just wanna make sure I don't scare you off by being too weird." Scott confesses deciding not to bring up his long time crush on her because that would probably be too soon.

"I doubt that will happen and if you spend more time with me you will see that I can be quite weird as well." Lydia replies.

"Is that an invitation? Scott dares to ask.

"Do you want it to be?" Lydia smirks at him.

"Yeah, kinda." Scott replies.

"Well, then I guess it is one but don't get to comfortable around me, if you embarrass me in school I will kill you, just so you know." Lydia half jokes.

"Also do you want to get your present now, Seeing that you won and made the deciding goals?" Lydia asks flirting

"Sure what was the reward you had in mind." Scott replies trying to stay calm but failing.

"Well I thought something like this would be appropriate." Lydia says leaning in to kiss Scott who leans in as well while closing his eyes.

Both enjoy the kiss for a while, till they part for air with Scott saying "wow".

"Well and that was just the reply for winning, your extra for the deciding shots is this." Lydia says locking her arms behind Scotts head and french kissing him.

After she lets go of him, Scott is standing there unmoving not quite being able to believe what just happened. Lydia then pats him on his cheek to get him back to reality and tells him "but don't let it get to your head this was only a reward for winning the game, it's not like you can come up to me and kiss me whenever you want now, understood?"

"understood." Scott salutes jokingly "But if one where interested in gaining that privilege and thereby becoming your boyfriend, what would one have to do to achieve that?" Scott asks deciding to show his interest in her, though he is sure she already knew about his crush.

"Hmm we'll see, if I'm looking for something like that again and I know what is needed I'll tell you, deal?" Lydia laughs, having already known about his crush on her, he isn't good at hiding secrets from her.

"deal." Scott says smiling ear to ear.

"Well see you tomorrow star player." Lydia says winking at Scott and then leaving saying hi to the hiding Stiles while passing him.

"She kissed me." Scott says to Stiles still smiling brightly.

"I saw." Stiles replies.

"Twice." Scott says still out of it.

"Saw that too." Stiles says smiling for his friend. "It's pretty good huh?"

"I don't know how but I controlled it, I pulled it back, maybe I can do this maybe it's not that bad." Scott says beginning to the upside of his powers and for the first time since he was bitten it feels like he had a win.

"We'll talk later then." Stiles says hitting his arm.

"What?" Scott asks wanting to know what Stiles was implying.

"The medical examiner looked at the other half of the body we found." Stiles says somberly.

"And?" Scott asks expectantly.

"Well to keep it simple, medical examiner determines killer of girl to be animal and not human. Derek is human and not animal. Derek not killer, Derek let outta jail." Stiles explains

"Are you kidding me?" Scott asks not believing it.

"No and here is the bigger kick in the ass. My dad ID-ed the dead girl, both halves. Her name was Laura Hale." Stiles says letting it sink in.

"Hale?" Scott asks shortly afterwards.

"Dereks' Sister." Stiles answers the unasked question.
