3. All Around Me

My eyes fluttered open as I immediately sat up, gasping for air. I held my throat, looking all around me as I felt my breath get caught in my throat. I looked around, using my hand for shade as I looked all around me to get a good look at the scene around me. 

I was in the woods.

I was laying on the cold, dirty, wet floor of the woods. I knew where I was but why was I here? I slowly brought my hand to my forehead, bringing it back down to see that I was bleeding a little bit. I guess the bright news was I was no longer bleeding black blood or anything according to Stiles, I was bleeding my normal red blood. 

Which is still the more disgusting. 

I groaned, slowly getting up off the floor and trying to cover myself up. I had been so preoccupied with the pain surging through my entire body and the fact that the last place I remember being was in the bathroom at the hospital trying to clean myself up when now I'm in the woods that I hadn't notice that I'm completely naked. 

it's weird. I had a dream about this once except that I didn't end up in the hospital from being attacked by a psychopathic werewolf and I was having a romantic camping trip with Stiles. Yeah, I would never admit it to him or anyone else since they're going to laugh at me. 

I attempted to cover myself up with my arms but it was no use. I wasn't comfortable like this at all but I didn't know where I was or why I was here or even how I got here. I still attempted to cover myself up as I started walking, hoping i would find my way somehow. I kept walking, not really understanding why I was even walking in this direction, every inch in my stomach was telling me to walk the other way but it was like I had no control over my body. 

It seemed like I was walking for hours in circles, and I was so exhausted that I just wanted to lay on the floor and fall asleep. But it was so cold and my feet felt like they were bleeding from all the walking, I was almost ready to give up too... 

Until I finally spotted a familiar structure in the distance. 

It was the Hale house.

I wrapped my arms tighter around myself as I ran over to the house. I banged on the door, trying to get it open or wait for Derek to come and let me in. I was a little worried about Derek seeing me naked but that didn't matter once I realized that he wasn't even home. I groaned, hitting the door one last time which caused it to break open. 

"Woah.." I looked down at my hands, just looking at them and trying to see if something had changed. I know I had been working out, training with dad and everything, but I guess I just didn't know my own strength? 

I slowly stepped through the door of the once Hale house, looking around to notice that there wasn't anyone here. Derek would have showed himself by now if he was here or thrown something at me to cover up, saying something smartass like. 

I took a deep breath, slowly walking through the house and taking in how strange I was feeling right now. I had this shivering feeling going down my entire spine that I just couldn't describe, it was like someone was watching me. Which made me very nervous.
