TWENTY FIVE
COYOTES

And Ofcourse they didn't listen to her. Ofcourse they wouldn't. The three were walking through the woods,holding flashlights in their hands. Stiles and Moon were following Scott who was upfront.

~Moons Outfit~

"You know if my dad's right" Stiles told thrm."There's another werewolf in town that we haven't met yet."
"Great..." Moon began."More muts" she hissed.
"I know" Scott said..
"If it turns out to be something like triplets that form into,like,a three-headed hound of hell,I'm seriously not up for that" Stiles mentioned,as Moon crossed her arms as the walked.
"Yeah,me either," Scott chuckled," especially since I can't even control my own transformation either." They kept walking when they heard a howling,making Stiles hold on to Moon quickly,making her lose balance and hit Scott,who let go of his phone.
Which fell into a puddle of water. They both looked at Sgiles,who had his mouth opened.
"Sorry,buddy."He said." I hate coyotes so much.they always sound like they're mauling some tiny,helpless little animal."
"Same here," Moon nods looking around."like some annoying wholing monkey"
Scott jumped down and Moon followed him,Stiles trying to reach them. Scott pulled his phone out of the water,looking at it."it still works."
"Let me see the flashlight."Stiles asked Moon as he took it from her,pointing the light towards something."I think we found it," he said,stepping forward,Moon and Scott following him
Stiles pointed at the light towards the upside down car.
"Why wouldn't they move it?" Scott asked."isn't it evidence."
"Probably too much of a pain in the ass to tow out" Stiles answered,looking at it before giving a step forward."look at this." He points the flashlight to the cars door."see those?"He told Scott and Moon,as they joined him,the girl kneeling next to him."Animal vlaw would be closed together,right?Alot closer." Scott gently touches the claw marks.
"Then it was a werewolf" Moon concluded.
"So my dad was right" Stiles whispered before looking inside the car.
"What's that?" Moon questioned,pointing to an object in the car.
Stiles took oy out and three stood up,looking at it. It wad a doll. A baby doll.
[I'm hungry], said the electronic doll,when he squeezed it.making the three scream at the same time as Stiles dropped the doll on the ground.
"Holy shit!"Moon Exlamied."How the hell does that thing still work,more than five years ago" she whispered before realising Stiles was holding on to her,terrified.
"I think I just had a minor heart attack" Stiles announced,as he kept hugging her.
Scott looked up,"Hey,guys..." he called them before Stiles and Moon look towards the trees,noticing a pair of bright blue eyes. "Please tell me you see that?"
"I think its better if I lie and say no" Moon whispered. Moon heard it growling making her dryly swallow. They saw the creatures running away,and Scott following it.
"Scott!"She yelled,but he was too far to even hear. Moon and him remained In silence before she spoke.
"God,he's an idiot"
...
Moon and Stiles got out from the place they had found when they heard running,and later footsteps,as Moon eyes began to glow as they walked slowly.
"Stiles could you please,stop breathing so next me" Moon hissed,as he Walked back.
"Sorry"stiles whispered back.
She slimed back at him," its fine." Moon said to him,taking his hand.
She heard the footsteps approaching,running. She heard them perfectly clear. Werewolf.
Stiles followed her as she walked slowly. As soon as she heard them close to her,the girl jumped,taking down the werewolf about to rip it apart,only to recognise a person was underneath.
"It's me!it's me!it's me!" Scott yelled and she put away her dagger."jessus Christ. We're you gonna kill me!?"
"Maybe,don't scare me like that" She gott of Scott helping him up before they looked towards Stiles,who was pointing his flashlight at them.
"We think found something" Stiles breathed"
"So did I," Scott told them. They followed Stiles to where him and Moon had been just a few minutes ago.
"It's a coyote den," stiles explain as Scott looked at it.
"Werecoyote," Scott corrected,making Moon look at him,shocked and confused.
"Werecoyote?," she repeated."Might aswell just add were to every animal"
"You see this?This is Malia's,"he told him. "Remember,it's the same one she wad wearing in thr photo." Scott picked up at Teddy bear before he spoke.
"We shouldnt be in here." The two turned around to look at him.
"Why?" Moon asked.
"She's not going to come back now." Scott told them."We just invaded her home.our scents going to be everywhere."Scott whispered Moon as she looked around while stiles stared at her.
"If she's not going to come back here,Where's she going to go?" He asked before looking at Moon. The werewolf shrugged."I don't know," Scott admitted..
"Can you track her now?" Mokn asked him. "You think you got her scent?"
Scott slowly nods"Maybe"he said." But I'm better at this when I'm a full wolf. And I'm still worried that if I do it, I won't be able to turn back"
Stiles sighed."the doctors still open." Stiles looked at Moon."What about you?"
"Only if I'm fimilar with the person. But to it smells like any other dog"
"If I can't get to Derek,we're gonna have to find someone else to help," told Scott to the two before he looked at Stiles. "This is basically a crime scene,right? I think it might be a little out of my boss league."
"And more in my dads" Stiles finished.
...
The sheriff got out of the debate and walked towards Stiles,Scott and Moon with Malia's jacket in hand."You're sure it was her?" He asked.
"I looked her right in the eyes,"Scott making the sheriff look at him."And they glowed just like mine."
"It makes sense,dad" Stiles told him.
"But it wasn't a girl. It was four-legged coyote,right?"
Stiles started to stammer."Well,okay. But yeah,see,that's the point that point that we don't exactly have figured out yet"
"But it was a full moon and she did change while her mom wad driving,then anything could've happened."
"Horrible things could've happened." Stiles jumps in making the girl chuckle a little." Ripping, shredding, tearing things."
"Which is probably what caused the accident." Moon added,in thought.
"Think about it," stiles called out to him.
"Dad,all right. They're driving,Malia starts to change,she goes out of control,the mom crashed and everybody dies...
"Expect for Malia." Scott told him,and Moon nods.
"She blames herself,right," stiles looks at his dad."goes off running into the woods
And eventually becomes trap inside the body of a coyote."
Sheriff sighs staring at them."That makes sense." The three exhale glad that he believed them."in a Chinese folktale." Stiles keeps his mouth open not knowing what to reply with.
"Guys,this is..." Noah began."This is insane." He harshly whispered to them.
The three look at eachother then back at him."I need this kept quiet. The three of you,not a word. I dont want anyone hearing about this. I especially don't want Mr.Tate hearing about this." Noah turns to look at Scotg after the others.
"Scott!" He called out to him."Scott?" The werewolf blinked looking back at them.
"Sorry." He said to them,looking back at sheriff Stilinski."What did you say."
They were intrupteded by a loud siren sound,pulling up behind them. The red and blue flashing all-round.
"Oh,hell" Noah,grunted. The car door opens and Moon immediately finds out why he said that. Scott's dad came out along with Mr tate.
This is not gonna end good.
"Mr.Tate." Sheriff nods at him.holding Malia's blanket. He immediately takes it examining the object.
"Mr tate?" The man took a few seconds before he replied. "It's hers."
"All right," Mr Mcall,stated about to walk over to the crime scene."wait here."
"Dad?" Scott said to him,Noah turned around looking at him.
"I'll talk to you in a minute." His dad spoke."I wouldn't mind hearing how your mom's okay with you running around in the woods this late." He looks at them walking away Followed by sherry Stilinski. "We should probably head home" Moon finally speaks,tucking a strand behind her ear. Stiles nods in agreement."Yeah,I'll drop you"
"Scott?" She calls out to him,he looks back at her.
"I think ill just wait here" he says," I'll see you guys at school" Moon nods
sympathetically,before placing her hand on his arm,then walks away.
...
The next day the three were in class showing Allison what they had found in the den,on the map,using Stiles tablet.
"Here's where we found the den." Stiles pointed to Allison."it's right in the middle of the hiking trails."
"Well,that could narrow it down. Coyotes travel in fixed trails. But I think you're righg about her not going back to the den coyotes don't like wolves."
"That's why it tried running away," Moon whispered.
Allison nods."And they're really smart.if they don't want to be heard,they actually walk on their toes" Moon crossed her arms."I wasn't talking to you" she hummed. Allison sighed ignoring her,looking at the tablet.

~Moon's Outfit~

Stiles looked at Moon before turning to Allison frown."Coyptes tip-toe?"
"They tip-toe," she affirmed rolling her eyes.
"What" Stiles mouthed before looking at Scott with his eyebrows raised.
The bell rang,interptuing their conversation.
"I gotta go,but send me the pinned location." She says to stiles walking out of the class .
"Okay" Stiles replied,as he Walked to his seat. Moon and Scott following there usual directions on the end of the class.
"Hey." The girl from there history class aproched them. Moon looked at Scott,befor back at the girl."I'm kira. You knew that. I knew you knew that."
Moon stared at her wandering when she was going to finish talking so she could get to her seat. "I don't know why I just told you guys that again." Scott smiled politely,Moon tried too. It was obvious she didn't care.
"Anyway, I have something for you."kira told them bringing out her bag.
"For me?" Scott asked.
"Yeah," she simply replied,Moon rasing an eyebrow. She looks up from her bag,"About the bardo. My explanation was sort of all over the place. So I did some research and I printed it out for you." She smiled.
Scott chuckled rubbing the back of his neck with his hand chuckling."Ah,you didn't have to do that"
"It only took a couple of hours." Kira looks up at them arbtudly. Moon eyes widened.
"Wow." Scott spoke."Then you really didn't have to do that." Moon nods agreeing.
Kira kept on rummaging through her bag looking for it."I swear I printed it out." She pleads.
"Kira." They heard Mr yukimura call for his daughter."You forgot all the research you did for that boy you like." Kira looks back slowly collecting it,from her dad. Moon truing to hold her laughter.
She looks back to them,her father nods walking away leaving the three. The girl looks down handing Scott the papers. He opens his mouth befor sighing smiling at her,collecting the papers.
Moon looks at the two of them before rolling her eyes walking to her seat.
"Allright,everyone." Mr Yukimura,said to the students."Let's get started." He continued."we were just talking about internment camps and prisoners of war. There's a passage in our reading that I'd like to go over in more detail..." Kira bit her lip watching as Scott went through the papers she printed for him. The guy then Taps Moon,making her turn around,while showed them to her. Kiras small Smile that she had sooner faded away. Looking at them,Scott saying something to her,as Moon looked up at kira,befor looking at Scott smiling.
"Who would like to come up and read aloud for us?" Mr Yukimura asked the class. No one raised there hands which obligated for him to choose. He lands on Stiles."Mr. Stilinski, how about you?"
Stiles opens his mouth moving his pen around."Oh,maybe someone else could."
"Everyone participates in my class,Mr.Stilinksi."
"Okay" Stiles exhaled standing up from his chair, Mr.yukimura moving aside so he could read. Moon placed both hands supporting her head as she observed. Hoping Stiles would be able to read this time. He takes a few seconds looking at the Book befor looking up at the class petrified. Moon notices his heavy breathing,Stiles trying to catch his breath. She immediately stands up,walking over to him.
"Stiles" She says to him."You okay?" He pants before gripping the stand harder.
Moon looks over to the teacher as he aswell stood up,"we should take him to the nurses office." Moon looked back,Scott already behind her."Scott,help me get the napkin in my bag" he nods going over there. As Moon helped Stiles,exting the class room,Scott following behind.
Stiles opened the door,to the bathroom arbtudly looking around quickly.
"Stiles,look at me,man. Is this a panic attack" Scott told him but he shook his head,placing his hands on the sink as he looked at himself in the mirror.
"It's a dream,it's a dream. This is just a dream." Moon walks closer to him,taking his hands from the sink.
"No,Stiles" She said to him."this is real." The girl places his hand on her cheek,covering it with hers.
"See, your with me. I promises he continues to rub his hands on her cheek,as he stared at her.
"Moon..."
She frantically looks at him before speaking."Okay,what do you do?" She asked him."I mean, like,how do you do you tell if you're awake or dreaming?"
"Your fingers..." Stiles answers panting. "You count your fingers. You have extra fingers in dreams."
Moon holds up her hands,starting with one finger."Stiles,how may do I have up?" She called out to him."look at me. Come on,Stiles. Look at my hands and count with me"
The boy slowly looks up,gazing at her finger that held up one.
"One.."
She brings another one out.
"Two."
"Keep going" Scott tells him.
"Three."
She holds up another.
"Four"
Moon brings out the last finger."five"
She says,moving to the next hand."six" Stiles spoke.
"Seven."
"Eight" Moon answered for him.
"Nine" Stiles continued."ten.."
Moon nods."ten." She repeated. He looks at her hands again coming to realisation. Leaning on the wall before falling to the ground panting.
"What the hell is happening to me?"
"We'll figure it out. You're going to be okay" Scott assured him,squatting down next to him.
While Moon dipped her napkin in the running water.
"Am I" he looked up at them,she sighed placing the napkin on his forhead.
"Are you?" He asked Scott,who remained silent.
"Scott,you can't transform.Allisons being haunted by her dead aunt. And I'm straight up losing my mind. We can't do this. We can't... we can't help Malia. We can't help anyone." Scott looked over to Moon who had her eyes shut,removing the thing from stiles face.

"We can try." Scott said to him,sitting next the guy."we can always try."
