Chapter 1: Prologue
We are looking into a well decorated room.
A bookcase could be seen on right side of the room against the wall. It was full of school books mixed with fantasy, supernatural, and sci-fi novels. On the left side of the room was a desk with a laptop on it. And in the middle of the room was a two person double bed.
This room belongs to the young man currently laying in bed, staring at the ceiling in deep thought.
His name is Mieszko Stilinski, but everyone calls him Mike or Mikeal. He is 16 years old and starting his sophomore year in High school.
He has an older twin brother named Mieczyslaw Stilinski, but everybody calls him Stiles, cause no one can properly pronounce his name, except him and dad. Even Stiles himself had problems with it when he was younger, so that why they call him Stiles.
His dad is the sheriff of the town.
He's is raising them as a single dad because his mom died when he was young, she sufferd from frontotemporal dementia. He had it though for the first year after her dead. Stiles and him were close to her. When dad was working and they came home from pre school, they were with her most of the time. After her dead you could feel the emptiness in the house. Luckily they had each other and got through this difficult period.
He lives in Beacon Hills. It's located in California, it's resides in a valley area surrounded by hills with suburban homes, high rise urban areas, and forested wilderness.
He's studying at Beacon Hills High school and his first day of this year starts tomorrow, that's why he's planning to sleep early tonight or at least that was the idea..
BAM-
His bedroom door slammed open and look who it is.. his brother, Stiles. "Ugh, leave me alone Stiles. I'm planning to sleep early tonight, tomorrow is school" he said with a frown on his face. "Hey Mike listen, you won't believe what I heard!" Stiles said with excitement clear on his face. "You know, dad is going to be mad if he knows you listening to his calls again.." He sighed, this is not the first he did this. When they were younger Stiles and him would listen in on there dad's radio frequency.
They were bored and home alone.
"So, out with it. What is it?" He said, knowing when Stiles was like this it was better to get to the point. "Sooo, I was listening in on the police scanner, and you would never believe what I heard" Stiles said, his excitement getting higher and higher. "They found a dead body in the woods!" Stiles said. "Okay, so what is with the excitement? They probably removed it already so we can't go and take a look or anything." He said, knowing it would be waste of afford to go there because they probably already had cordon off the area. Stiles grinned at me and said. "Of course I'm excited, because they only found halve of the body!" "What! Only halve of the body?" He said, his eyes growing wide at his words. Well.. now he's interested. "Do you think it was an animal who did it?" He asked, it would be pretty crazy, if it was a person that did the deed. "Haha, grab your stuff. Were going out tonight!" Stiles said, already turning around to leave his room and grab his own stuff. "Wait! I never said I was going anywhere" He yelled after him. Stiles stops and looks back with a knowing glint in his eyes and said "Come on now Mike, i know your curious. I will meet you downstairs. Were taking the jeep." He sighed knowing he was right. So Mike put on his sneakers and grabbed a hoodie and walked to his bathroom to wash his face. When he looked into the mirror he saw his reflection. While Stiles and Mike were twins they looked almost nothing like each other. Stiles took after they're mom and he took after his dad. He had light brown shoulder length hair and usually had his hair tied into a knot at the back of his head. He also had his dad's green/gray eyes and he thought that he had a moderate attractive face. He was 6,7ft tall and had a stocky build like his dad. When he was done admiring himself he shut off the lights and walked downstairs.
When he came down Stiles was already standing by the front door, flashlight and car keys in his hand waiting for him. "Let's go, we're picking up Scott first" Stiles said opening the front door and walking towards they're jeep. It's a blue jeep. You can see that it's an older model but they loved it. It belonged to they're mom and had sentimental value. After entering the car, Stiles started it and drove to Scott's house.
Scott McCall is they're best friend. They know each other since kinder garden and do everything together. Stiles and Scott are planning to take the lacrosse practice tryouts tomorrow. Scott has been training the whole summer because his plan is to make it first line. Mike isn't joining the tryouts because he doesn't enjoy the sport. When he was a freshmen he wanted to join the basketball team but it was a shame that it was an unpopular sport in Beacon Hills High. There were only a few participants, so the basketball club got canceled. Nothing else peaked his interest, so when Stiles and Scott were at lacrosse training, he would go to the library to read something.
They were almost at Scott's place. Mike could see Scott's house already. It was dark downstairs but you could see the light was on in his room.
"We're here. Wait in the car, I will go get Scott" Stiles said. "Sure, don't take too long" Mike said. Stiles nodded and got out of the car and Mike sees him walk to the porch and knock on the door. Scott probably didn't hear cause the door remained closed. Stiles being Stiles couldn't wait long, so he started climbing on the side of the porch where there was ivy, that he could use to climb. When Mike saw what Stiles was doing, the only thing he could do was sigh.. He saw movement in Scott's room, so Mike thought Scott probably heard something. The front door on the porch slowly opened and Scott came out with a baseball batt in his hand. "Those guys, why do i know them.." He sighed. Stiles was already on the roof of the porch so Scott couldn't see him. Being the brilliant person he is, Mike thought he could help them out and pressed the horn of the jeep.
-TUUUUUT TUUT..
He saw them both jump and saw Stiles falling from the roof with ivy around his ankle, appearing upside down in front of Scott. "AAAAAAAH" both Stiles and Scott screamed. He saw Scott almost hit Stiles with his bat and Stiles swinging his arms in the air to defend himself.
"HAHAHAHAH" Mike couldn't help but laugh. He laughed til tears came out of his eyes. While Mike was busy laughing. Both managed to come to an understanding and Stiles managed to get Scott onboard their nightly outing. When they both arrived at the car, Scott got in and Stiles started the car to drive to Beacon Hills Preserve.
Mike looked back at Scott and said "Yo Scott, how are you doing?" Mike asked with a grin on his face. "Did you really have to do that? I almost had a heart attack" Scott said with a wry grin on his face. His heart was still beating slightly faster than normal.
"And here I thought you were going to bed early, so you were in tip top shape for tomorrow's school day" Scott said in a teasing tone.
"Ha, I was already in bed until someone decided to barge in and drag me with him" Mike said while looking sideways at Stiles.
"I know you are curious, don't blame me" Stiles said while looking in the rear mirror.
"Okay guys, we're almost there" Stiles said while looking for a spot close by the entrance of the preserve to park the jeep. They are now at the preserve and it was getting darker and darker because of the trees blocking the moonlight. You could see the white mist drifting through the forest. It was close to midnight so it was beginning to get colder outside. Having found a spot they parked the jeep and got out.
Stiles took the lead and walked in to the preserve while Scott and Mike followed behind him. "Okay guys, the entire Beacon County Department along with the state police are looking for the body. Two joggers found only half of the body. So we are looking for the other half of a girl in her mid twenties" Stiles explains while walking forward and shining with his flashlight.
"Ugh, I wanted to have a goodnight sleep for tomorrow's practice" Scott said with a reluctant face. "We don't need rest since we are sitting at the bench tomorrow" Stiles teases.
"No way, I'm planning to make it to first line this year" Scott said with a determined face.
"It is pathetically unrealistic" Stiles mocked
"Come on guys, focus" Mike said this with a serious look in his eyes. "We don't know if it was an animal attack or a person who has done this. Who knows maybe the killer could also be in these woods" Both Stiles and Scott look at each other with realization, that there was indeed a possibility that the killer was also in these woods.
As they were walking uphill Scott falls slightly behind. "Hey, maybe it's a good idea to let the severe asthmatic lead the way" Scott says who is now out of breath, and takes a good puff from his inhaler. Mike seeing that Scott is falling behind waits a bit so that Scott can take a breather and catch up.
Stiles tops the ridge and spots the line of officers and dogs searching. Excited he runs towards the search area, leaving Scott who must take another hit from his inhaler and Mike who is waiting for him to catch up behind.
"Stiles, don't get to close! They will see you!" Mike tries to warn Stiles, but no such luck. Stiles couldn't hear him anymore cause he was to far away. And if Mike shouts any louder there is a chance that the officers or dogs wil hear him.
While Stiles is trying to stay out of the searchers line of sight, he instead runs right into one of the officers and his K-9 companion.
"You there! Stay where you are and don't move!" The deputy shouts at Stiles. Shining his flashlight at him, they can now see his face. "STOP!" A voice shouts. "I know who this troublemaker is."
"Hi, dad.." Stiles says with a wave of hand and a sheepish smile. "Stiles, have you been listening to my call's again?" Said Sherif Stilinski with a frown on his face. "And where are your usual partners in crimes?" He asked.
"Uhm, Mike is home. He went to bed early because of school tomorrow." Said Stiles
"And Scott was busy training for practice tomorrow, so he couldn't come."
Sherif Stilinski had a look of disbelief on his face. He didn't belief it for a minute! Taking a look around the forest with his flashlight.
"So are you saying that you, in the middle of the night, went out alone, in the forest to look for a dead body?" He asked Stiles for clarification.
"Uhhm, yes?" Stiles answer. Clearly not believing in his own answer.
The sherif took a look at his son and sighed.
"Mike! Scott! Are you there!?" He checks for the last time. After no one came out. He walked to Stiles grabbed him by the back of his neck and took him with him. "We are going to have a long talk when we get home, young man." said the sherif and took him in the direction of his car "We will pick up your car tomorrow. Your riding back home with me now."
Mike and Scott who were hiding behind two trees weren't dumb enough to come out if his dad hasn't seen them. Waiting for 10 minutes in silence until the coast was clear, they came out of their hiding spots.
"What a dumbass" said Mike with dull eyes. He turns around and looks at Scott. "Shall we go back? I don't want to stay in this forest for much longer, I'm getting some creepy vibes" It feels like someone is watching them, he feels a cold chill going down his spine and feels all his hair stand up his arms.
"Hey Sco-" Mike couldn't finish what he wanted to say. He turned around and saw a herd of panicked deer rush towards him. One deer crashed into him and he was send flying.
Rolling around he couldn't see where he was going. The only sounds he was hearing, were the pounding of hoofs striking against the forest floor.
He heard Scott yell his name and his cry of pain. When the herd finally passed by, he shakily stands up and looked around for Scott. "Ch..ough- Choughh- SCOTT!?"
He tries to take a step forward but immediately pain shoots through his right leg and he falls down. Looking at his leg, he sees it's thick and red looking. "Shit, that fucking hurts" Trying to sit up, he sees a tree nearby and leans his back towards it. Trying to think of possibilities to help him out of this situation he heard a crack.
He looks towards the sound and saw a wolf like creature with stunning red eyes that were glowing in the dark, slowly walking towards him on all fours. Mike was petrified. He couldn't move. His whole body was trembling and his breath was uneven. His hearth rate was beating a mile per hour. He knew that if he moved even a little, he was done for. The creature got closer and closer till he was a couple feet away. His fear was so great that he even forgot to breath.
And at that moment something within him snapped. His trembling stopped and his heart beat slowed down to normal. In that moment flashes of his life flew by. He's saw his father eating pizza at the dinner table. He's saw Stiles talking to him in his energetic ways. He saw his mother smiling towards him. And at that moment his mind became crystal clear. He knew that he couldn't give up here!

Creature POV
Seeing this humans state going from petrified fear to a sort of serene calm, the creature was clearly confused what was going on. tilting his head to the side the creature was about to-
———————————————————————
Seeing the creature tilting his to the side, Mike eyes snapped wide open. He grabbed a stone that was laying by his right side on the forest floor and swung the stone with all his might against the beats head. Seeing it get disoriented he stood up on his left leg and turned around to hobble away. Even if he couldn't get away from this beast, he would at least die fighting! Dragging his right leg behind him he tried to flee with all his might.
ROAAAAAR-
Not turning to look back as he heard the beast chasing him. Suddenly he felt a piercing pain going through his left shoulder and everything went black...
