Catching Fireflies (An Interactive Teen Wolf Story)

Chapter 5

Hey guys, I'm sorry this has taken me so long. I normally try my best to write the chapters for my books in advance or at least have the plot laid out but with this I can't because the story continues based on what is voted on which makes it a little more difficult but that's not necessarily a bad thing it just takes me a bit longer. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the chapter and I should hopefully have the next up in about a week. I figured putting 6-7 days between each chapter would give everyone enough time to read and vote before I count the votes and start writing the next chapter, I'll stop talking now. Thanks for sticking with me. <3

"Stiles, you're going back." Derek argued.

"If you're so freaked out by them being gone then why are you gonna send me alone in the woods!?"

"You're going with Cora and Isaac, you're not alone." Derek rolled his eyes.

Stiles glared at him, "I don't want to go with them."

"I don't care."

"Derek!" Stiles yelled, stomping his foot like a toddler. Derek sighed crossing his arms, eyebrows raised. "Fuck you." Stiles said walking off in the direction they just came. Derek looked at Cora nodding his head toward Stiles.

"Be careful." Cora said quietly, grabbing Isaac's arm she pulled him off back toward the cabin.

Storming into the house, Stiles dropped himself onto the couch between Erica and Lydia who looked at each other and then at the pale boy between them.

Lydia laughed, "What's your issue?"

"Derek told him no." Cora said walking past.

"Where is Derek and everyone else?" Erica asked looking over the back of the couch.

Isaac sat on the floor in front of the fireplace, "Half the pack wandered off so they went to go look for them."

"Why didn't you guys just go too?"

"Cause Derek's a douche." Stiles grumbled, arms crossed in front of him.

Erica rolled her eyes, "Stop being dramatic."

"I don't know why we couldn't go but I don't really care. I was sick of hiking."

Cora laughed sitting down next to Isaac, "You didn't have to go, these two didn't."

"I know, it sounded nice earl-" all three wolves' heads shot toward their right, Stiles and Lydia looking at each other.

"What?" Stiles asked, shifting how he was sitting.

"Shh." Cora said, getting up.

Isaac grabbed her arm, "It's not them, don't."

"It's not just a deer either, I want to know what it is."

"What is going on?" Lydia snapped.

"Shut up for a sec." Erica said, her head shooting toward Lydia.

Stiles pulled out his phone, the only noise heard from the humans being the cracks of the fire and the little taps of Stiles' thumbs against his screen.

"I'm going to look." Cora said grabbing her jacket from where she'd thrown it over the back of the arm chair, "Stay here."

"You're an idiot." Erica fought. "You have no clue what is out there."

"So? It's probably not anything worse than what we've dealt with before."

"But it could be!" Isaac fought.

Stiles and Lydia glanced at each other, Lydia shrugged looking back and Isaac and Cora who were glaring at each other.

"Don't be an idiot, Cora." Isaac snapped. Stiles' eyebrows shot up not expecting so much anger to be laced into his words. This wasn't going to turn out well.

"Derek," Scott called, they'd been walking for a while and they knew that they were getting closer to the others. The other glanced back waiting for Scott to continue, "You hear that too? Right?"

"Ignore it."

Aiden snorted, "Yeah, cause that's just an easy task."

Scott smirked, pushing the other, "Seriously though, do you think the others got back okay?"

"They're fine."

"How do you know?"

Scott rolled his eyes at Aiden's question, "Stiles texted me." Derek answered.

"Okay, but seriously, you know something." Scott added.

"No, I don't." Derek sighed.

Aiden looked at Scott and sighed as the other said, "I think we should check it out."

"No."

"Why?" Scott asked.

Derek stopped and turned toward the other two, "Because, it's not attacking us and we're looking for the rest of our pack."

"But what if it's a threat?"

Derek rolled his eyes, "It's not."

"Tell me you know that for a fact. That you know exactly what is making that noise and that it's not a threat to us." Scott snapped.

Derek glared at the beta, "We need to find the others."

"Derek!" Scott snapped, getting a warning growl from the other.

Aiden rested his hand on Scott's shoulder, "Hey, relax. It's not a big deal."

"We need to know if there's a threat out there. We're spending the summer here, I don't want anyone getting hurt!"

"Scott, enough." Derek snapped. "We can look tomorrow if you're really that worried about it. Now is not the time."

Scott sighed harshly, glancing between the two. "I just-"

There it is. Wow. Okay, so, question time.

Should Scott agree to looking tomorrow or go tonight?

A. Go tomorrow

B. Argue more and go tonight
