Scolding the Embers

Chapter 2

"Stiles Stilinski!" Stiles raises his head slowly of the comfortable pillow. He was right in the middle of a pleasant dream. "Sorry I'm up." Stiles drawled as he sat up but kept his eyes closed. "Wow Stiles it's 11 o'clock in the morning. Weren't you going over to Scotts at 10 o'clock.

"No he bailed on me." Sheriff Stilinski shook his head and watched as his son slowly stood up after yawning for what felt like minutes. "Whatever Stiles just promise me you'll go outside and see the sun today."

"I'm not sure if I'll keep that promise but I'm just going to nod my head and say a firm, yes dad!" Sheriff watched as his son does a mock salute and almost falls over from the quick movement. "Oh Stiles. Just... Never mind. I'll be home later than usual." 'Later than usual' usually means about 3 in the morning Stiles reminded himself.

"So I left money on the counter for food and try to keep the house clean." Sheriff muttered as he waved goodbye to his son and left the house. Stiles waved goodbye to his already gone father as he stood in the hallway. "Be safe dad."

Stiles father was the county Sheriff.  He was always working on a new case. Always entering a new area of danger. Stiles walks back into his bedroom and turns on his Xbox preparing for a day full of playing games.

He takes a photo of the sun outside his window and sends it to his father with a caption saying. 'There I saw the sun.' Stiles laughs at his own joke before taking a quick shower. Once Stiles got out of the shower he checks his phone to see no reply from his dad but instead an apology from Scott.

Stiles sighs. Oh well time to work on my gaming skills. Stiles grabs a bag of crisps and sits on his bed grabbing a controller.

An hour later Stiles had completed numerous levels in his game and was in a final level. Then something or someone opened his window from the outside and climbed in.
