Nightmares infiltrate my mind all throughout the night. Of the half body, woman and wolf, of the wolfsbane, of the rope... choking me. Claws, howling, running in the woods being chased... I finally went to Stiles room and asked him if we could have a sleepover together, like old times. He was going to protest, but I think after noticing my red, bleary eyes he said yes.

Anxiety weighed heavy on my chest trying to fall back asleep, wondering what's going to happen tomorrow. With Grayson and Derek... And that was the last thing on my mind as I finally drift off to sleep.

⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆

The next morning, the police investigate Derek and Grayson's house and two officers escort them to the police car. Stiles and I casually stroll over to the police car as Scott gapes at us in horror before turning away. Stiles and I glance at each other, nodding, before opening the passenger door and file in, somehow managing to squeeze in the passenger seat together. My hip pushes into the gear shift as we turn to Derek and Grayson.

"Okay, just so you know, we're not afraid of you." Stiles rushes out. Derek slowly glares up at us as Grayson keeps his eyes focused on his cuffed hands. "Okay." Stiles blinks. "Maybe I am." Quickly changing his mind.

"No, we are not." I nudge Stiles, declaring for the both of us. I swallow a bit uneasy noticing Grayson messing with hand cuffs, rolling his hands around and tugging slightly, the rings on his fingers turning his knuckles white as they flex. The metal fence separating us from them makes me feel better... kinda.

"Doesn't matter. We just wanna know something." Stiles continues. "The girl you you killed." He looks between both of them and Grayson finally glances up. "She was a werewolf. She was a different kind, wasn't she?"

I force myself not to shutter as I think about the wolf body. "She was a wolf- an actual full wolf. And we know Scott definitely can't do that. Can he?" I whisper the last part to Stiles.

"No, he can't. Is that why you killed her?" Stiles questions.

"Why are you so worried about us when it's your friend who's the problem?" Derek finally speaks.

"The problem that never ends." Grayson shakes his head.

"When he shifts on the field, what do you think they're gonna do, huh? Just keep cheering him on?" Derek asks. I clamp my mouth shut as Stiles and I look at each other out of the corners of our eyes. "We can't stop him from playing, but you two can."

"Could've stopped him my way, but nooo." Grayson mutters and my eyes widen. His way? I don't even want to know what 'his way' entails.

Derek leans forward shocking me. "And trust us, you'll want to." Grayson looks up, eyes piercing into Stiles mouth parts and before either of us can say anything, though I don't think I could manage any words either way, as the door opens and our shoulders are grabbed.

"Hey! Ow!" Stiles complains.

"Woah, ow!" I whine as our dad yanks us out of the vehicle and we knock into each other as he drags us away from the car.

"There, stand." He snaps at us, releases our arms and I reach for shoulder, making sure it's not OUT OF SOCKET while Stiles sighs loudly.

"Hi, Dad." I wave quickly with my free hand.

"What the hell do you two think you're doing?" He looks at us pointedly... I hate that look.

"We're just trying to help." Stiles rushes out.

"Yeah, no need to thank us." I wave him off.

"Uh-huh. Okay, well how about you both help me understand exactly how you came across this?" He asks. Mmm, good question... I scratch the back of my head turning to Stiles to let him take this one.

He sighs. "We were looking for Scott's inhaler." He answers.

I smile nervously, throwing my arm on Stiles shoulder. "We're such good friends."

Dad gives me a look that reads 'yeah, okay.' "Which he dropped when?"

"The other night." Stiles says casually.

"The other night when you two were out here looking for the first half of the body?" Dad checks.

"Yeah." I shrug, answering confidently. Stiles rolls his eyes, annoyed at Dad.

"The night that you told me you two were alone and Scott was at home?" Dad pushes further.

"Yes." Stiles exasperates, tried Dad's still going. Wait-

"No!" I rush out, smacking Stiles in the arm and his face drops. Dang! How does Dad do that?!

"No." Stiles hurriedly corrects. "Oh, crap." He hangs his head.

"Stiles." I hiss.

"So you both lied to me?" Dad looks at us. Well...

"That depends on how you define lying." Stiles points out and I nod in agreement. Mmm, yes!

"Good one." I whisper.

"Thank you."

"Well, I define it as not telling the truth." Dad says. "How do you guys define it?"

"Mmm." Stiles goes first. "Reclining your body in a horizontal position." He demonstrates with his hands

Dad's eyes fall onto me. I fold my hands together then throwing them apart. "Uhm, you know, resting flat... on a surface?" I look up at him, smiling sheepishly before hanging my head down. "I'm sorry."

"Get the hell out of here." He gives up.

"Absolutely." Stiles quickly agrees.

"Definitely." I don't think I've ever nodded so fast. "Have a great day." I call over my shoulder as I'm being pulled away.
