Catching Fireflies (An Interactive Teen Wolf Story)

Chapter 3

I don't get why I'm always tired. Like, I can sleep 20+ hours a day and still be exhausted but that's cool. I found 3 Pokémon on Pokémon Go today also, so there's that. My boss was really concerned when I told him "I caught a bird on one of the tables today" lololol it was Pidgey.

The next morning the pack found a place to stop and get breakfast before finishing the trip to the cabin. Stiles complained the whole way there but everyone in Derek's car seemed to ignore him while he blabbed on for the entire ride. When they got to the cabin they all set up their rooms.

Stiles and Derek sharing the master. Isaac and Scott sharing one of the bedrooms with Cora and Aiden, two separate beds but they had to share the dressers. Jackson and Ethan split the last room with Erica and Boyd. That left Allison, Lydia, and Kira in the living room on the pull out couch, they didn't seem to mind, in fact they were the ones who offered to sleep there.

The rest of the day was quite relaxing, they swam for a while in the lake that was near the cabin, Derek and Cora hiked one of the trails that their parents liked, Lydia helped Stiles make dinner for everyone, and they ended the night with a bonfire and some s'mores.

Allison and Lydia were running around in front of the cabin, far enough away from the fire pit to not get hurt or hurt anyone else, Kira joining in after a while. They were catching fireflies.

"I guess I was wrong..." Derek turned to see Stiles sitting down next to him. "It's not so bad."

He wrapped an arm around the younger boy. "I told you."

"Shut up, Sourwolf." He laughed. "Honestly though, if I would've had to pee in the woods I would've gone home in a heartbeat. Sorry, I can only take so much of that."

Derek chuckled, "Why aren't you over by the fire?"

Stiles shrugged, "You came over here."

"Yeah but you're always cold." Derek said shrugging off his jacket to drape across the youngers shoulders.

"Sap." Stiles snorted, accepting the jacket from him.

The two sighed, leaning into each other watching the pack in front of them. Allison, Lydia, and Kira were still laughing chasing around fireflies. Cora was telling a dramatic story over by the fire with the rest of the pack. Isaac squealed when his marshmallow caught on fire and Scott laughed putting it out for him. Erica and Boyd were cuddled up together in one of the lawn chairs talking quietly to each other. It was nice, much nicer than Stiles originally thought it would be, that is until someone brought up the one thing Derek and Cora were hoping to avoid.

"Hey, Derek..." Erica spoke up, "What happened to Laura here?"

Derek glanced at Cora seeing the same expression on her face that he knew was drawn onto his, "I-I...uh..."

"Erica, what the hell." Stiles snapped.

"I'm just curious!" The blonde's voice getting smaller as she started to feel worse about the question.

Derek watched Cora sit down quietly, the mood ruined by a simple question, the only thing the last two Hale's didn't get is-how did Erica know that something happened to Laura here at their family cabin?

-----

WOW, I have something for you to answer this time. Sorry it's short and sorry this took forever to get up. I'm trying to figure out how to set the tone without giving everything away and also add in options for you guys to pick from. This is a new concept for me so just give me some time to get the hang of it being interactive. :)

Should Derek explain what happened to Laura?

A. He shouldn't

B. With Erica in Private

C. Explain to the entire pack

Also, I'll probably update on Wednesdays from now on. If I pick a different day I'll be sure to let you all know!!
