Beauty And The Beast

Forks

The car door opened, and the sound of crutches landing on the ground as Noah helped Stiles out of the car.

Charlie and Bella came out of the house and took in the sight of Stiles using his crutches to go forward.

"Hey, guys," Stiles said with a smile, despite what state he was in.

Bella didn't know much about what happened to him, all she knew was that it was an animal attack that left most of his body scarred.

While Stiles hobbled, his shirt around the neckline shifted and Bella saw a dark scar along the base of his neck and just looking at it made her own scar on her wrist feel small and insignificant, even though it was from a vampire.

After helping Stiles get settled in he stood in the middle of his room. Looking around at it cautiously.

His large boot he had on his right foot was just a precaution in case his foot couldn't handle the weight. But both his father and him knew that it could thanks to his new supernatural healing.

The full moon didn't affect him, whatever he was, he was immune to it. He already had complete control and shift at will into a terrifying ten foot monster.

Rotating his neck he took off his outer flannel shirt and Bella gasped at the sight of his arms.

Brutal scars ran up and down his arms, each one looking like it had been done slowly, agonizingly.

Stiles grunted as he turned to look at Bella,"You can knock," he said walking towards her, his boot thumping against the ground.

"S-Sorry," Bella replied,"What did that to you?"

Stiles opened and closed his hands,"A bear," he lied, not knowing if Bella could handle the truth.

That was one other thing about him, he could heal fast but it always left a scar.

"You got a tattoo?" Bella asked in surprise, looking at his bicep at the two rings.

"Yeah, my friend Scott had the same one," Stiles said, pulling the short sleeve down to cover it.

Bella made the best decision to remain silent, knowing what happened to his friends.

"Are you gonna be starting school?" She asked instead.

"My Dad's making me," Stiles said with a bitter smile.

"Where are you going?" Stiles asked, noticing how she had her backpack with her.

"I'm studying... with my boyfriend," Bella said, adding the last part hesitantly.

Stiles' eyes shot up to hers, surprised,"Boyfriend?"

Bella smiled nervously at him,"Yeah."

"Never knew you had it in you," Stiles said chuckling.

"It's not like that," Bella said blushing,"Edward is... old school."

"Edward?" Stiles repeated unsurely.

"Yeah," Bella said,"Like I said, old school."

Pursing his lips, Stiles nodded,"Uh-huh."

"I'm glad you're here," Bella said, hugging him.

Stiles smiled as he returned the hug,"Me too."

Bella was surprised how solid Stiles felt, remembering how he always seemed so fragile and skinny when they were younger.

"Bye," Bella said, walking out the door hurriedly.

Time Skip

Stiles walked around the house taking in the many different scents, it was weird. There were two very different scents, one was sweet, kinda like a cologne, but it was very pungent. It burned his nose a little bit. The other was absolutely horrible, it smelled like a wet dog that rolled around in urine, but it was faded like it hadn't been there for a while.
