037, creatures of the night
▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

OVER THE last six months Miah's been spending most of her time with Scott and her close friends.

Before she left Beacon Hills to go visit and spend some time with Cora and Derek in South America since the male agreed that he'll drive her back before school starts.

"I cannot believe it's already time for you to leave us." Cora groans looking at the blonde girl packing her belongings into her suitcase.

"I know. But I gotta get back. I'm kinda worried about Scott too. He hasn't messaged or called me much since I arrived here." Miah explains with a huff missing her boyfriend.

"Oh. That's weird. How did he say goodbye when you left?" Cora wonders folding some of Miah's clothes and helping her pack.

"Um... go have fun?" Miah responds looking at Cora seeing the youngest Hale sibling wince at the goodbye Scott gave Miah two months ago.

"Why? What's wrong with that?" Miah frowns folding her arms across her chest in confusion.

"'Go have fun'. Mims girl... you're so oblivious. He basically told you to have sex with other guys." Cora voices seeing Miah look at her wide eyed.

"Star! Moon! We're leaving! Come on." Derek shouts from the living room.

"Well, I hope he didn't mean that Cor and text me when you need me? Okay. I'll miss you. Ta-da." Miah says hugging Cora goodbye and following Derek out of the apartment towards his car and placing her suitcase in the back of his vehicle.

"You ready to see Scott?" Derek wonders focusing on the road ahead of them.

"Mhm." Miah nods not noticing Derek looking at her with a frown hearing and feeling the anxiety flowing through Miah's bloodstream.

✹

SCOTT IS sitting on the hood of the Jeep at Lookout Point, watching the sky and thinking about Miah lovingly.

Stiles has a map of the greater San Francisco region spread out on the hood of his jeep next to Scott and is marking potential places to live for their upcoming freshman year of college.

"All right. So I found some cool two bedrooms in the Mission District... but they're pretty expensive. A couple in Haight and Ashbury, also expensive..." Stiles rambles in explanation without looking up from the map.

"What about Berkeley? Don't a lot of students live around there?" Scott questions.

"Yeah. Yeah. We could try Knob Hill. But... the Jeep would probably burn through a lot of clutches." Stiles voices.

"You're bringing the jeep?" Scott wonders repeating what Stiles just said.

"You know the plan, okay? No one gets left behind. That's the plan. Lydia and Miah aren't gonna have any problems getting into Stanford. Kira's thinking USF. Malia's, uh... gonna, you know... she'll figure something out. Okay. The plan's perfect." Stiles responds listing the colleges they've chosen.

While knowing that his best friend's girlfriend and Lydia are incredibly smart and can get into any college they want.

"Or we could also wait until we actually get into college and then figure out where to live." Scott suggests with a smirk looking at Stiles.

"I have a vision... dude, okay? And it is a beautiful vision. Don't ruin the vision, okay. We can check out the East Bay. Haven't looked at Oakland yet. You know..." Stiles states noticing Scott looking back at the moon.

"You're all right? You're starting to feel it?" Stiles asks curiously, "No. Just thinking." Scott shrugs, "About what?" Stiles wonders.

"Senior year." Scott responds with a shrug, "Senior year. Come on. That's, that's... that's nothing. That's going to be easy." Stiles stutters.

"It's more like something Deaton told me once. You ever hear of 'regression to the mean?'" Scott questions, "No. I don't think so." Stiles mumbles.

"It was his way of saying that life can't ever be all bad or all good. You know... eventually, things have to come back to the middle. So, think about the last few months. Things have been good, right? But not amazing." Scott says.

"Yeah. But no one's tried to kill us in six months either." Stiles sighs, "Right. We've been pretty much in the middle for a while. Which means... at some point, the scale has to tip one way or the other. Things are gonna get really good again..." Scott voices.

"Or really bad." Stiles says finishing Scott's sentence with a sigh while lightning and thunder crashes overhead.

Stiles purses his lips in thought, "Think it's been long enough?" Stiles questions looking at Scott, "Yes!" Liam shouts from behind chained to a tree.

"Hey. Trying to have an adult conversation over here!" Stiles calls out facing the younger teenager.

"All right. You're two years older than me. And I'm fine. Just let me go." Liam demands with an eye roll.

Scott jumps of the jeep's hood walking towards his beta with the keys.

"It's not that we don't trust you." Scott says, "It's that I don't trust you." Stiles interjects finishing Scott's sentence once again.

"But after that last full moon." Scott says with a squint, "It was one slip-up!" Liam responds.

"A slip-up? A dozen calls to the Sheriff's department about 'a monstrous dog boy running around the streets of Beacon Hills naked'. That's a slip up?" Stiles exasperatedly questions looking at the Dunbar boy.

"Why were you naked?" Scott questions looking up at Liam's face, "It was really hot out that night, okay? Let me go!" Liam sheepishly responds.

"You sure you're okay?" Scott quizzes, "It won't happen again." Liam mutters.

"You're in complete and total control?" Scott utters, "Yeah. Complete and total." Liam responds with a nod.

Scott looks at him for a moment before unlocking the rest of the chains and getting into Stiles's jeep.

Completely missing the way Liam looks at the palms of his hands that have crescent moon shapes from his claws digging into them.

Before he rushes towards Stiles's jeep and getting into the backseat driving to their next destination.

Scott sits in the passenger seat of Stiles's jeep looking at his phone and the unread texts to Miah hearing Liam constantly asking Stiles about the whole thing tonight at the school.

"Is it a party?" Liam questions curiously, "It's not a party." Stiles denies, "Then what's at midnight?" Liam asks.

"Your bedtime." Stiles sarcastically mutters, "Why aren't the girls going?" Liam questions.

"They're meeting us there, okay? Including Miah. And just stop asking questions, all right? It's a senior thing. You'll know when you're a senior." Stiles utters.

Liam looks at Scott staring at his phone in confusion, "You guys having trouble with your phones?" Scott wonders not getting a response from the two only the engine spluttering to a stop.

"Oh... what the hell?" Stiles voices confused, "You out of gas?" Liam asks.

"No. It's electrical. Probably the alternator again." Stiles states while himself and Scott get out of the vehicle pulling up the hood.

"Whoa. That's a lot of duct tape." Scott voices holding the flashlight lamp receiving a glare from Stiles beside him.

"Kidding. We'll fix it." Scott responds with a smirk on his face, "I know. It's just the last night of summer, you know? So... I wanted to make sure everyone was there tonight." Stiles explains with a sigh.

"We'll make it. You got any tools?" Scott quizzes, "Yeah." Stiles nods holding up more duct tape starting to work on the jeep.

Not noticing the lightning bolts hitting the ground behind the vehicle getting closer and closer panicking Liam in the backseat.

All of the sudden a lightning strike hits the ground ahead of them close to both Scott and Stiles who share the same look.

"That was close." Scott mumbles, "Very close." Stiles confirms hearing the jeep start again.

"Can we go now?" Liam questions sticking his head and torso out of the drivers side window immediately getting nods from the Stilinski and McCall boys.

Pulling into the parking lot seeing Malia standing beside her adoptive father, "Sorry we're late." Stiles voices from thw window.

"Hey." Malia greets kissing Stiles's lips passionately while Scott looks everywhere but the couple feeling jealous that Miah's not here or responding to his messages.

"I'm sorry, too." Liam says leaning forwards with a smirk on his face, "You boys do remember I own a gun, right?" Mr Tate questions.

"Vividly." Stiles nervously gulps letting Malia say goodbye to her dad before climbing into the backseat immediately being stared at by all three boys.

"What?" Malia asks uncomfortably, "Did you find out yet?" Stiles asks, "Find out what?" Liam quizzes.

"They're gonna email me." Malia explains, "Is this about summer school?" Liam questions, "You told him?" Malia asks looking at her boyfriend.

"Uh..." Stiles mumbles scratching his cheek anxiously, "Oh. No! All they said was you had to go to summer school 'cause the principal said your test scores weren't good enough and you might have to repeat junior year." Liam voices receiving glares from Malia and Stiles.

Scott looks at Stiles amused, "We should have left him chained to the tree." Stiles mutters facing Scott and starts driving towards the hospital where they're dropping Liam so he can get a lift off his step-father or Melissa later on.

⛧°｡⋆ ⋆｡°⛧

MIAH STANDS on the roof of Derek's car trying to find service to respond to Scott's texts.

"Star... Moon. Get back inside the car, please!" Derek pleads from the inside of the car.

Miah jumps down staring at the familiar figure standing a few cars ahead of her seeing him smiling at her and waving.

Miah looks away wide eyed and climbs into her uncles car again sighing in annoyance.

"We haven't moved in fifteen minutes. I'm going to be late." Miah voices looking at Derek smirking at her.

"It's just senior scribe. You'll get over it. It's not graduation." Derek explains seeing Miah looking at him annoyed.

"That's it. I'm going." Miah states firmly getting out of the vehicle only for a roll of thunder and rain to start pouring outside.

"You're going to walk. In this?" Derek quizzes with a chuckle, "Yup," Miah confirms seeing the downpour of rain get heavier.

"In a few minutes." Miah sighs with a pout hearing Derek laugh at her which results in the blonde mage hybrid shoving him playfully.

✹

SCOTT AND Liam walk in the hospital hallways together seeing some injured patients being wheeled different places.

"My dad's helping out in surgery. He's not gonna be done for hours. So, I'm either hanging out here. Or, I could still go with you guys." Liam suggests.

"Show me your hands." Scott gently demands pressing the button of the elevator before facing Liam who's showing him the blood stained crescent moon shapes in his palm.

"Okay. So I'm still having trouble." Liam sighs, "No. You're still learning. What do you do to stay focused on not changing?" Scott wonders.

Liam holds up in earphones motioning to music and looking away from Scott mumbling a name under his breath.

"Miah keeps me under control but she's been gone the past few months so music... but it's not working." Liam explains shyly.

"It's working enough. Miah keeps me sane too. So I understand." Scott smiles thinking about his girlfriend.

"Listen. Derek told me that you were one of the strongest that he'd ever seen at your age. Now... coming from him? That means a lot." Scott states stepping into the elevator and facing Liam once again.

"Maybe means that things are gonna be harder for you for a while. But it also means something else. Doesn't it?" Scott quizzes, "That I'm really strong?" Liam shrugs.

"Hell yeah." Scott smiles confidently confirming what his beta just said while the elevator closes and takes him to the ground floor where Stiles is waiting for him at the elevator  doors.

"Still can't reach Miah." Scott states walking beside Stiles to where Malia's waiting for them.

"Okay. You reminded her about tonight... though, right?" Stiles questions, "I think so. She only texted me once this week." Scott responds.

"Once? How'd you guys leave things when she left for South America?" Stiles wonders.

"Well... they were good. Yeah. I just said... you know, 'don't worry about anything, just go and have fun'. I mean she was going to catch up with Cora and Derek?" Scott frowns confused.

"No. You told her to 'go have fun?'" Stiles questions alarmed, "Why? What's wrong with that?" Scott wonders.

"Just... I don't know. That can be interpreted a lot of different ways." Stiles responds, "Like what?" Scott quizzes.

"Well... like, 'Don't worry. We're not exclusive. Go have fun with other guys.'" Stiles utters shocking Scott while the two of them stand close to Malia at the emergency reception desk.

"No. No way." Scott mutters shaking his head, Stiles tilts his head facing his girlfriend and walking up beside her.

"Malia. If you were going away... and I told you 'don't worry, go have fun'. What would you think I was talking about?" Stiles quizzes looking at his girlfriend.

"Fun like bowling? Or sex with other guys?" Malia questions with a shrug worrying Scott a lot more now.

"Okay. Yeah. Now... I'm worried." Scott confirms while a medic wheels another injured patient into the emergency department.

"25-year-old male. Unrestrained driver involved in..." the medic explains while Melissa rushes to help them, "Hey, Mom? Where's all this coming from?" Scott calls out curiously.

"A jack-knifed tractor-trailer on 115. Caused a major pile up." Melissa shouts while running with the medic with the injured holding onto his side in pain.

"Okay. Okay... there's only one way back into Beacon Hills from South America." Stiles voices, "115." Scott realises.

"Miah's never gonna make it." Stiles mumbles sadly, "I can get her. You guys head to the school. Kira and Lydia are probably already there. We'll meet you by midnight." Scott explains while backing out of the hospital hellbent on getting his girlfriend.

"How are you gonna get to her in the middle of a traffic jam?" Stiles exclaims.

"We'll make it. Trust me." Scott confirms leaving the hospital and his best friend and Malia inside.

✹

MIAH SCOFFS in the passenger seat seeing the pouring rain hasn't stopped.

"This is ridiculous!" Miah mutters in pure annoyance over the lack of moving on this highway.

"Star... do you hear that?" Derek questions hearing a roaring sound of a motorcycle approaching them.

Miah giggles recognising that sound anywhere and jumps out of the passenger seat seeing Scott speeding down the cars towards her inhaling her scent he loves and adores so much.

"Miah!" Derek exclaims from the drivers side before leaning over and closing the passenger door knowing she won't be back to the car tonight.

Miah runs towards Scott which makes him get off the bike after parking it successfully smiling at her seeing the bright smile coming from Miah's face and a giggle escaping her.

"Did you have fun in South America?" Scott asks loudly over the rain, "Not really." Miah responds with a shake of her head.

"Good." Scott sighs in relief immediately placing his hands on Miah's cheeks and passionately kissing her in the rain.

"God, I missed you." Miah mumbles once they break up from the passionate welcome home kiss.

"I missed you more, Mi." Scott whispers while Miah smiles looking up at the raindrops falling upon her face, "How did you know I like kissing in the rain?" Miah questions.

Before waving at Derek in his car who's already waving her off and Miah climbs on the motorcycle tightly embracing Scott's torso from behind ready for tonights Senior Scribe with their friends.

After a fifteen minute ride on the back of Scott's motorcycle the two lovebirds run under the overpass leading into the school hand in hand wiping their faces of the rain.

"We're not late. Are we?" Miah wonders looking up at the school, "No. They're on their way." Scott responds with a smile, "What are you smiling at handsome?" Miah questions.

"You. You're so gorgeous." Scott says which causes Miah to giggle and blush connecting her lips with his once more pushing him into the cement wall behind them feeling Scott's hands on her naked waist and bottom while they make out.

Miah frowns while Scott does the same hearing a animalistic growl coming from the side of them, the man runs towards them shoving Miah harshly onto the ground and attacking Scott.

"Ow! You fucking prick!" Miah exclaims forming a ball of her chaos magic sending it towards the creature knocking him away from her boyfriend in the process.

"You want him? You'll have to get through me." Miah snarls standing directly in front of Scott who shakes his head at her.

Standing beside her remembering warning her six months ago to never sacrifice herself for him no matter the cause.

"Oh... little girl. You have no idea who I am." the man growls launching for her only for Miah to send another bolt of chaos magic towards him thanking the past six months for her training in the different stages of her powers.

"Oh... you have no idea who I am!" Miah snarls back forming a ball of her fire magic in the palm of her head seeing the man looking at her in recognition.

"The Fairy of Destruction and Chaos. Miah Martin-Hale right in front of my eyes." the man chuckles slashing her thigh leaving a deep gash sending Miah towards the ground in pain also not noticing the familiar boy joining the fight from the other-side of the overpass.

"Grab my hand. Come on Miah." the male demands in which Miah does as told while the man stabs his long claws into Scott's torso draining the power out of the true alpha.

"Come on baby. Fight it." Miah whispers under her breath hearing Scott gasping in pain.

Scott looks over seeing the blood on Miah's thigh suddenly feeling a rage surge flow through him grabbing a hold of the man─ Belasko's forearm tightly snapping the bones, Belasko groans in agony holding onto his broken forearm.

"I don't know who you are... or what you thought you were going to do. But I'll give you a choice. You can stay... and I'll break something else since you injured Miah. Or you can run." Scott orders.

Belasko looks at the others mainly Miah standing up and walking closer to her boyfriend before looking at the boys pack standing at the staircase, "I'd run." Stiles suggests firmly.

Belasko gets up running away from the pack while Miah hugs Stiles tightly since his welcoming her home and hugging the rest of them rubbing Liam's hair playfully.

"It's good to have you home." Malia states with a smile.

"Feels good to be home." Miah responds while Scott stares at the newcomer suspiciously gently grabbing a hold of Miah's hand.

"You don't remember me, do you? Although I'd be a little hurt Miah." the boy states looking at the blonde who rolls her eyes.

"I guess I look a little different since the fourth grade." Theo states smiling at Scott who's already looking at Miah confused, "Theo?" Scott asks shocked, "You know him?" Malia questions.

"They used to. Miah included. Trust me... I never thought I'd see you guys again. A couple of months ago, I heard of an alpha and a powerful mage hybrid in Beacon Hills. When I found out theirs names were Miah Martin-Hale and Scott McCall. I just couldn't believe it. Not just an alpha or mage hybrid... but a true alpha and the fairy of destruction and chaos." Theo smugly voices, "What do you want?" Miah snaps.

"I came back to Beacon Hills... back home with my family. Because I want to be a part of your pack." Theo reveals looking between the couple before walking away leaving scoffs and stares of disbelief following his retreating figure.

Scott looks at Miah curiously, "I'll explain everything, I promise. But we're gonna be late and I'm sure Lydia and Kira are gonna kill us." Miah states tightening her hold on Scott's hand promising him she'll tell him everything about why Theo and her know one another.

Walking into the school hallways towards the library, "We haven't seen this kid in years. You don't find that highly suspicious?" Stiles questions.

"I'm kind of more concerned about the guy who just tried to kill me and Miah trying to sacrifice herself for me again." Scott voices looking at Miah walking ahead of them trying to find her cousin and Kira.

Miah smiles seeing Lydia rushing towards her excitement in her pace throwing her arms around Miah's skinny frame.

"You're back! You're never leaving for months ever again!" Lydia exclaims while letting go of the blonde so she can greet and hug Kira seeing the others smiling at Malia.

"Thank god! Where have you guys been? The whole senior class is here! Are we doing this or not?" Lydia exclaims.

Walking towards the group while Miah chuckles wrapping her arms around Scott's torso again before walking towards the library together.

Standing beside each other in the line to write their initials on one of the racks of the library.

Stiles goes first smiling at Derek's initials and writing his down then passing the marker to Lydia who writes hers.

Passing off the marker to an anxious Kira, "This isn't vandalism... is it?" Kira quizzes facing the others.

"Not technically." Lydia responds with a shrug which is enough for Kira since she writes her initials on the shelf.

Leaving Malia to do hers which she signs 'M.T' knowing her a whole life she was raised by Mr Tate and not her birth father.

Malia passes the marker to Miah who smiles stepping in front of the said shelf writing her initials 'M.M.H'.

Smiling remembering her best friend asking her to write his down since he couldn't make the senior year scribe.

'I.L' Miah smiles giving Scott the marker who writes his initials 'S.M' before facing the others.

Scott gestures for Miah to come and stand with him again so they can both write out someone's initials that meant a lot to them.

Scott writes the 'A' and Miah writing the 'A' the couple smile at one and peck each others lips before Scott gives the next person in line the marker standing with the others who look at Allison's name emotionally.

Miah grabs a hold of Scott and Stiles's hands knowing her boyfriend needs comfort but also Stiles who still feels at fault for Allison's death months and months later, "She would have been with us." Stiles voices.

"Yeah." Scott mumbles wrapping his arms around Miah's waist and placing his chin on her head.

"She still is." Miah and Lydia simultaneously say with a soft smile.

Scott motions for the group to leave the library so they can go home and rest for the start of senior year tomorrow.

YOUR SUITCASE IS
AT YOUR APARTMENT,
GOOD LUCK FOR
TOMORROW STAR-MOON
SEE YOU SOON
— DEREK

Miah smiles at the text message while walking down the stairs with her friends and the pack except Liam.

"Your place or mine?" Miah smirks looking up at her boyfriend who glances down at her suggestion with a chuckle.

"Yours. Since your father's not home yet." Scott responds knowing about Joel being away with Mack for their anniversary.

"Let's go." Miah demands softly with a sway of her hips walking and climbing onto the back of Scott's motorcycle.

Scott chuckles and rush after her climbing onto his bike and driving the two of them towards Miah's apartment to sleep before returning to school tomorrow.
