Monster in Me | Teen Wolf [Book 2]

More Bad Than Good

Scarlett meets up with Scott, and Stiles after they find the car wreck and Scott sees Malia as a coyote. They are still in the woods trying to figure out more about the Malia Tate situation. "I think I found something?" Stiles says.

"So did I." Scott replies.

Scarlett and Stiles walk over to Scott, "It's a coyote den." Stiles says, looking inside the cave.

"Werecoyote." Scott corrects.

"You see this?" Stiles asks as he looks around, spotting a sweatshirt. "This is Malia's. Remember, it's the same one she was wearing in the photo."

"We shouldn't be here." Scott says, before Scarlett can reply to Stiles.

"What do you mean?" Stiles asks.

"She's not going to come back now. We just invaded her home. Our scent's going to be everywhere."

"She might. There's a human in there, not just a coyote. I'd want to check on things before I left for good." Scarlett says, looking around one last time.

"If she's not going to come back here, where's she going to go?" Stiles asks.

"I don't know." Scott answers.

"Can you track her now? You think you got her scent?"

"Maybe. But I'm better at this when I'm a full wolf. And I'm still worried if I do it, I won't be able to turn back."

Stiles sighs, "The doors still open."

"I can do it while you're still working on closing the door." Scarlett says. 

The boys nod, "Yeah, but I still need to figure out how to close the door. If I can't get to Derek, we're gonna have to find someone else to help. This is basically a crime scene, right? I think it might be a little out of my boss's league." Scott says.

"And more in my dad's." Stiles confirms.

The boys and Scarlett are now with Sheriff Stilinski, still in the woods by the den. They just told him about Malia. "You're sure it was her?" Sheriff Stilinski asks Scott.

"I looked her right in the eyes. And they glowed just like mine." Scott replies.

"It makes sense, dad." Stiles says, stepping into the conversation.

"But it wasn't a girl. It was a four-legged coyote, right?" Sheriff asks, slightly confused.

"We don't know much about that but I can turn into a four-legged wolf, fur and all so it's not that weird to believe." Scarlett shrugs. 

"And it was a full moon and she did change while her mom was driving, then anything could've happened." Scott continues.

"Horrible things could've happened. Ripping, shredding, tearing things." Stiles adds on.

"Which is probably what caused the accident." Scott finishes, Scarlett nodding in agreement. 

When the Sheriff still doesn't say anything, Stiles continues, "Think about it, dad, all right. They're driving, Malia starts to change, she goes out of control, the mom crashes and everybody dies."

"Except Malia." The twins says in unison.

"She blames herself, all right, goes off running into the woods and eventually becomes trapped inside the body of a coyote."
