Nightmare (Teen Wolf Fan Fiction)

Chapter Twenty Five: It's Life

Hey! Here is another chapter. :)

          When we pulled up in his driveway I was relieved that Stiles's dad wasn't home. What would Stiles say to him if he saw me? 'Hey dad, I just found this wolf and decided to bring it home.' Yeah, that would totally work. I let out a breath as Stiles opened my door. I hurried to the front door and he opened it for me. I walked inside and looked around me. "Is there any way you can change back? No offense but if my dad comes home and there is a wolf in the house, I might have some explaining to do." I nodded my head and tried to calm my heartbeat. I thought about soft things and the only thing that seems to make sense anymore, Stiles. I then pictured myself in human form and easily changed back. Stiles's eyes widened. I had forgotten that I would be naked when I changed back. "Um...do you have some clothes that I can borrow?" I asked helplessly. He nodded and turned away awkwardly. "Uh...yeah, I...I'm going to go get something for you to wear now." He hurried up the stairs and I stood up from the floor.

          I put my arms around myself and waited. Stiles came down the stairs carrying a blue t-shirt and a pair of white basketball shorts. "This is all I could find." He nervously handed them to me. "Thanks." I said taking them. He turned around to give me some privacy. I quickly got dressed. "Okay, you can turn around now." I said letting out a deep breath. He turned around and looked into my eyes deeply. I could sense the fear he was feeling. It kills me to know that he is afraid of me. "Stiles..." I went to say. "You don't have to say anything." He moved closer to me and his lips met mine. This isn't what I expected. His mood changed so quickly. He was afraid only seconds ago but it seems as if his fear subsided once our eyes made contact. "Your not afraid?" I asked after his lips moved away from mine. "My best friend is a werewolf, there is a pack of werewolves with a jerk for an alpha around, and there is a kanima on the lose. I would be lying if I said I wasn't afraid." I shook my head. "No. I mean, your not afraid of me?" He pursed his lips. "Why would I be afraid of you?" He was trying to pretend like he was clueless but I could see that he was still thinking about what I am capable of in his eyes.

          "I didn't mean to hurt Derek. When I saw him claw you, I...I just lost it." He raised an eyebrow. "You think I would be upset that you hurt Derek? That dude is a jerk. He deserved it." I took in a breath. "I saw the look on your face Stiles. You looked scared of me." I said pushing my hair behind my ear. He looked down towards the floor. "I just didn't expect, well...that you could really do that." He said taking my hand. A tear came to my eyes quickly. "Your going to be fine, okay? We can get through this together." My eyes looked up into his and I felt a sense of warmth spread over me, spreading throughout my core. "I love you Serenity." I gave him a smile as a tear ran down my cheek. Stiles wiped my tear away and wrapped his arms around me. "I love you too." I whispered leaning my head on his shoulder.

          I closed my eyes for one moment before my mind started to remind me of something I would much rather not think about, the kanima. If Matt is the controller of the kanima that means Derek is going to kill him. He can't know about Matt. I have to make sure not to let him get inside my dreams, I'm not sure how I'll do it but I have to. I know Matt isn't the nicest person on the planet but I can't just let him die. Besides, he might not be aware of what he is doing. He might be just as innocent as Jackson is. I'm sure Derek will want Jackson dead too, which is something I can't let him do. I don't want anyone to die or get hurt. It seems like it may be getting harder to protect the ones I care about but my guard must be up, now more than ever.

          The following week was one of the slowest weeks I've ever lived. Nothing exciting happened and no news of the kanima ever came up. Stiles and I haven't been out of each other's sight, which isn't a bad thing at all. I haven't shifted in awhile but I know it won't last. Tonight is the full moon and I'm far from prepared for it. I rushed out of the house after telling my mom goodbye. Rebecca has been over at the Argent's most of the week, claiming that Allison is tutoring her. Yeah, I'm sure she is. She is probably tutoring her the proper way to kill a werewolf. My mom is oblivious to the fact that Rebecca and I haven't spoke in awhile. I don't like to dwell on it much since she is after all plotting my death with the hunters. I stood at the end of my driveway and glanced around the corner of the road. I was about to pull out my phone when Stiles's jeep came around the corner. I smiled instantly upon seeing him.
