When We Begin Again

Wolf Moon

The screen lights up. Athena is sitting on her bed, a calculus book in her lap as she scribbled something on the notebook next to her. Lana Del Rey playing softly over her speakers as she concentrated.

"Athena!!!" Stiles bursts into her room causing the dark haired girl to look up in slight annoyance.

"Wait a minute can we talk about how you didn't even flinch?" Tyler looked over at her impressed.

"You live with him long enough you get used to it." Athena shrugged. "Which I guess helps in the long run with all of this."

"Stiles what do you need?" She asked returning to her schoolwork.

"I was listening to dads phone calls again and they're calling in every member of the Beacon Hills police department, and even the state police. They found half of a body in the woods, let's go." He bounced excitedly.

"So you want to go look for half a dead body, in the middle of the night, while the police are also looking for it?" She asked for clarification scribbling something down in her notebook.

He nodded his head excitedly. "And yes, I've had a lot of adderal."

"Right." She mumbled grabbing her shoes.

"You just willing go with your brother into the woods to find a dead body? How'd you make it this far alive?" Marcel asked Athena.

"Oh 'Thena is the reason we've made it this far." Isaac was quick to tell him the others nodding in agreement. "She's kind of like the mom of the pack I guess."

"Athena has a thing for taking in strays." Leto laughed. "She does that until the end."

"If we're going to look for dead bodies, with the potential to get arrested we're taking the Jeep." She pointed at him.

Stiles grinned widely as the scene changed. Scott McCall is sitting on his bed as he re-threads the laces on his lacrosse stick. Once finished he tosses the stick on his bed before walking toward the bathroom door, where he has a bar mounted on the lintel. After doing a series of chin-ups, Scott goes into the bathroom, where he brushes his teeth and washes his face before bed.

Suddenly, Scott hears a noise outside and pauses to listen for danger. Scott, now in a red hoodie, walks outside with a wooden baseball bat in hand as he investigates what is causing the noise. Suddenly, a figure appears hanging from the roof, and Scott yelps in terror, almost hitting the person in the face with his bat until he realizes that it is Stiles Stilinski, his best friend, who is yelping just as loudly

"AHH! AHHH! AHHHH!" Scott and Stiles scream simultaneously.

A soft laugh slipped past Athena's lips as she watched it. It felt like a lifetime away for the young girl.

Allison looked at her softly, a small smile on her face.

Scott huffs in frustration and annoyance before lowering his bat.

"Stiles, what the hell are you doing?! Where the hell is Athena?"

Stiles looks just as exasperated as Scott as he eyes the bat in his best friend's hands.

"You weren't answering your phone! Athena is next to you. Why do you have a bat?" Stiles rambled pointing Athena out to Scott who jumped.

Scott answers annoyed. "I thought you were a predator! And the porch creeks 'Thena, how'd you do that?"

"I walked." She shrugged.

"No human is that quiet. Careful or not." Rebekah eyed the girl cautiously.
