Chapter One
🎭 Creatures Of The Night 🎭


Scott sat on the hood of the Jeep at Lookout Point, watching the sky. Stiles stood next to him with a map of the greater San Francisco region spread out on the hood of the 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 said and Scott looked at him, "What about Berkeley? Don't a lot of students live around there?" Scott asked and Stiles nodded.

"Yeah, yeah, we could try Knob Hill. But, the Jeep would probably burn through a lot of clutches." Stiles said making Scott raise his eyebrows, "You're bringing the Jeep?" He asked and Stiles gave him a look. "You know the plan, okay? No one gets left behind. That's the plan. Lydia's not gonna have a problem getting into Stanford. Kira's thinking USF. Malia's, uh, gonna, you know, she'll figure something out, okay. The plan's perfect." Stiles said.

"Or we could also wait until we actually get into college and then figure out where to live." Scott said and Stiles shook his head, "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 said before looking at Scott who was looking out at the full moon.

"You're all right? You're starting to feel it?" Stiles asked and Scott shook his head, "No. Just thinking." He said. "About what?" Stiles asked and Scott glanced at him, "Senior year." Scott said and Stiles scoffed lightly. "Senior year, come on, that's, that's... That's nothing. That's going to be easy." Stiles said and Scott shook his head slightly.

"It's more like something Deaton told me once. You ever hear of "regression to the mean?" Scott asked and Stiles shook his head, "No, I don't think so." He said. "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 said and Stiles nodded.

"Yeah, but no one's tried to kill us in six months either." Stiles said and Scott nodded, "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 said and Stiles nodded slowly. "Or really bad." He said before they both looked out at the storm that was growing overhead when there was a flash of thunder.

"Think it's been long enough?" Stiles asked and before Scott could answer someone else did. "Yes!" Liam yelled making them look back at Liam who was chained to a tree. "Hey. Trying to have an adult conversation over here." Stiles said making Liam roll his eyes, "All right, you're two years older than me, and I'm fine. Just let me go." Liam said and Scott and Stiles started to walk over to him.
