ACT ONE — CHAPTER ONE

"shut up. you're making too much noice." My brother told me in a low voice.

"no you shut up." i fired back at him. "besides why do you want me to be quiet if we are going to wake up Scott. dumbass."

As if on cue i heard someone walk out, it was Scott.

Stiles then slipped and was now hanging upside down, both him and Scott began screaming, but Scott also had a bat in his hands so he raised it above his head.

"Stiles, what the hell are you doing?" Scott asked the hanging Stiles, i then poked my head down so Scott could see i was there too. "really A, you too?" i just shrugged.

"you weren't answering your phone. why do you have a bat?" Stiles let out, he kinds sounded like a girl at first.

"i thought you were a predator." Scott told Stiles.

"I'm with Scott here, i would've thought that too if someone was haning from my roof like this." i told them, earning a look from my brother. "sorry?" i told him, please note the sarcasm, it's like our twin thing, if you know what i mean.

"a pre..." Stiles began then let out a small cough, i'm guessing it's from hanging upside down. "look, i know it's late, but you gotta hear this." Stiles saided then i took over with explaining.

"we saw our dad leave 20 minutes ago. Dispatch called. they're bringing in every officer from the Beacon Department, and even state police."

"for what?" Scott asked.

"two joggers found a body in the woods." Stiles said, he looked at me and we both hopped down, i got a little help from my brother because he always says he needs to protect his 'baby' sister, even though he's only like 12 minutes older than me.

"a dead body?" Scott asked.

"no, a body of water." Stiles told Scott.

"yes, dumb-ass, a dead body." i finished. then both me and Stiles hopped over the railing and onto the porch.

"You mean like, murdered?" Scott asked. him and his dumb questions i swear this boy has a brain the size of an ant sometimes.

"nobody knows yet." i said leaning my back against the railing.

"just that it was a girl, probably in her 20s." Stiles finished for me.

"hold on, if they found the body,bthen what are they looking for?" Scott asked us.

"that's the best part." Stiles said excited, then looked at me.

"they only found half." i explained to Scott, he raised his eyebrows, a little shocked from the news.

"we're going." Stiles said.

...

"we're seriously doing this?" Scott asked as we made our way out of the car.

"you're the one always bitching that nothing ever happens in this town." Stiles told Scott, as he kept walking into the woods.

"i was trying to get a good night's sleep before practice tomorrow." Scott told Stiles as we walking toward him.

"Right, 'cause sitting on the bench is such a grueling effort." Stiles said, which made me chuckle, because he did kind of have a point.

"no, because i'm playing this year. in fact, i'm making first line." Scott told us confidently, while we were still walking through the woods.

"hey, that's the spirit. everyone should have a dream, even a pathetically unrealistic one." Stiles said.

"just out of curiosity, which half of the body are we looking for?" Scott asked.

"Huh! we didn't even think about that." Stiles said laughing.

"Stupid idiot" i whispered under my breath.

"and, uh, what if whoever killed the body is still out here?" Scott asked us.

"Scott omg! One SHE is a GIRL not a BODY, two STILES didn't think about that either. I did" i told them.

we went up a little hill.

"it's comforting to know you've planned this out with your usual attention to detail." Scott told Stiles panthing.

"he knows." i told Scott "he's also stupid, this plan is stupid, he in fact haven't really thought about this he just wanted to go." i added after.

"maybe the severe asthmatic should be the one holding the flashlight, huh?" a wheesing Scott said as he pulled out his inhaler.

i followed behind them both, when suddenly an arm pulled me down, i let out a very low scream then notices it was Stiles pulling me down in between him and Scott, we were laying on our stomachs looking at a group of officers.

"Hey, come on!" Stiles yelled getting uo.

"Stiles!" both me and Scott yelled, i ran after Stiles because he ran.

"Wait up! Stiles! Aurora!" i could hear Scott yelling from behind, but i ignored him running after my idiot brother. "Stiles! Aurora!" i heard again.

stiles turned around and we heard a dog barking and we were blinded by a flashlight. stiles fell to the ground while i just standed there. (🧍‍♀️)

"hold it right there!" a man yelled.

"hang on, hang on. these little delinquents belong to me." someone said, i looked and realised it was our dad.

"hi, dad.." i said, with a little wave and an awkward smile.

"dad, how are you doing?" Stiles asked, when he got up from the ground.

"so, do you, uh, listen in to all of my phone calls?" dad asked us.

"no." Stiles said nervously, before adding on. "not the boring ones."

"now, where's your usual partner in crime?" dad asked us, i took a deep breath and held it trying to think of something to say, but Stiles beat me to it.

"who, Scott? scott's home. he said he wanted to get a good night's sleep for the first day back at school tomorrow. it's just us. in the woods. alone." Stiles said which wasn't a complete lie.

"scott, you out there?" dad yelled but got no answer. "scott?" he tried again. "well, young man, young lady, i'm gonna walk you back to your car. and you and i are gonna have a conversation about something called invasion of privacy." dad said as he but a hand on our shulders and walked us back to Stiles' jeep.

"okay, let's see this thing. ooh!" we were outside the scool, and apprently somethng bit Scott out in the woods after me and Stiles left.

"it was too dark to see much, but i'm pretty sure it was a wolf." Scott told us.

"a wolf bit you?" i asked, i mean is he stupid or something.

"uh-huh." scott said.

"no, not a chance." Stiles told scott.

"i heard a wolf howling." scott told.

"no, you didn't." said Stiles.

"what do you mean, 'no i didn't'? how do you know what i heard?" Scott asked and Stiles laughed.

"because California dosen't have wolves, okay?" i told Scott.

"not in like 60 years." Stiles said.

"really?"

"yes, really. there are no wolves in California." Stiles informed.

"all right, well, if you don't believe me about the wolf, the you're definitely not gonna believe me about when i tell you i found the body." Scott told us, my eyes widened and my mouth opened slightly.

"are you kidding me?" Stiles asked.

"no, man, i wish. i'm gonna have nightmares for a month." Scott said.

"oh, god, that is freaking awsome. i mean, this is seriously gonna be the best thing that's happened to this town since..." Stiles said, then the most beautiful girl i've ever seen aka known as Lydia Marting walked by, Stiles has been in love with her since forever, but so have i. the only diffrence is that no one knows i like her. i smiled at her, silently saying 'good morning' and to my surprise she smiled back, then Stiles began talking again. "since the birth of Lydia Martin. hey, Lydia, you look..." he said but she just kept walking which made me feel somewhat special. "...like you're gonna ignore me. you're the cause of this, you know."

"uh-huh."

"dragging me down to your nerd depths. i'm a nerd by association." Stiles said as the bell rang. "i've been scarlet nerded by you."
