000. The Three Musketeers

PROLOGUE.
"The Three Musketeers"
[ Alex's House ]

As the full moon hung high in the sky shining though the half opened window. Tanned arms swung at the black punching bag that hung from the ceiling. Each swing a taper hand smacked against the worn and beaten leather. A strew of grunts flowed from the pillowy lips of Alex Heniford. The boy had taken to repeatedly hitting the punching bag in his room rather than losing control on some helpless human or animal.

When his heightened senses picked up the sound of one of his best friends jeep he stopped swinging, a smirk gracing his lips as he decided to scare his spastic friend. Something which he no doubt knew that the boy was planning on doing to him before dragging him and Scott into some "full proof" plan of his.

Alex used his enhanced speed to run behinds the tree in his front yard, one where he was out of view of his two friends.

"It's bad enough you're dragging me along, are you really gonna do it to Alex too?" Scott asked Stiles as he climbed out of the jeep.

"Yes!" Stiles exclaimed "if it's just me and you then it's no longer an adventure for the three musketeers. Besides the two musketeers just sounds lame." Stiles responded as he hopped out of the drivers side of the jeep.

"Is this where I say one for all and all for one?" Alex said as he stepped out from behind the tree.

"Bahhh" Stiles shouted waving his arms around in the air before flailing to the ground.

Alex's face broke out into a smile as he laughed at his friend's antics and waved to Scott who also laughed once he got over his shock.

"You know scaring your friends half to death isn't very nice" Stiles sarcastically said as he stood up from the ground.

"You mean like you were going to do to me?" Alex asked.

"No-ok... yes! But I'm all bone and skin and you are all muscles!" Stiles shouted waving his hands at Alex who was still shirtless from earlier. "Really! Who looks like that?"

"Well stiles now your just flattering me" Alex joked laughing at his friends spastic antics. "Now do you want to tell me what idiotic plan you want to drag me along for?"

Stiles pursed his lips trying to feign a "pissed off" look before he broke out into a smile. "I was listening to my dad's police scanner and they found half a dead body in the woods and me you and Scott are going to check it out."

"Well that sounds like a well thought out plan you have there" Alex sarcastically said.

"I am choosing to ignore the sarcasm that is evident in your voice" Stiles replied "now go put some clothes on and meet us back here" Stiles said before hopping back in the jeep.

Alex shook his head smiling as he turned around and ran back into his house, grabbing his hoodie from the coat rack next to the front door and slid on his sneakers.

When Alex hopped in the passenger seat Stiles turned to both his friends shouting "one for one and one for all!" Before he put the car in reverse and backed out of the driveway and sped down the road to the Beacon Hills Preserve.
