Running With The Wolves (A Teen Wolf Fan Fiction)

Chapter 8 - The Bank

Cole woke up and walked out of the Stilinski’s house to get clothes from his car, then grabbed a white long sleeved cotton shirt and a pair of black jeans. He thought of Ethan when he picked out the shirt, Ethan loved it when he wore tight clothes. Cole needed a long sleeve shirt to cover his arm. He un-wrapped his arm and threw the bandage in his box of clothes. Stiles walked outside giving him a confused look. “What are you doing?” Stiles asked.

“Just grabbing clothes,” Cole replied.

“Why do you keep clothes in your truck?” Stiles asked a follow up question.

“Well my mom kicked me out a lot and I would have to spend some nights in my truck,” Cole replied embarrassedly. Cole tried to walk past Stiles but Stiles grabbed his arm and Cole bit his tongue in pain.

“You are hiding too much from me Cole,” Stiles replied.

“There is too much to explain all at once man,” Cole said prying Stiles’ hand off of his arm.

“What’s wrong with your arm?” Stiles questioned.

“Nothing what are you talking about?” Cole lied.

“Good, because we have lacrosse practice today,” Stiles said walking into the house and Cole followed. Cole swallowed hard, he had forgotten about practice but there was no getting out of it now.

“Yeah I know; I’m going to get dressed.” Cole replied and walked up the stairs past Scott, “Morning Scott.” He went to the bathroom and changed his clothes and went back down stairs to meet Scott and Stiles to go to school.

The boys arrived at school in Cole’s truck and they all hopped out. As Cole stepped down he felt a pair of arms wrap around him from behind. “Hello gorgeous,” was whispered in his ear and he turned to see his boyfriend standing there. When he saw Ethan he couldn’t help but smile.

“How are you?” Cole asked as he locked the truck.

“Just great now that I’ve seen you,” Ethan replied kissing his cheek. Cole smiled as they walked into the school holding hands. The two boys made it to Ethan’s locker when Allison popped up behind them.

“I need to ask you something,” She said fast and pushed him across the wall. “Are you planning on playing lacrosse today?”

“Yeah I have to,” Cole replied looking down.

“You honestly think you can?” She whispered in an angry voice.

“I’m fine,” He replied. Allison gave him a look and then grabbed a 30cm ruler from her bag. She handed it to Cole and said, “Hold this.” He grabbed the ruler with his left hand and Allison gave him another look. “Use both hands,” she ordered and he held the ruler horizontally between both hands. “Break it,” She said and Cole pushed with both hands he winced as he felt a sharp pain go through his right arm starting where he had gotten shot- just below the elbow. “Yeah, you’re fine alright.”  She shook her head than walked away.

“What was that about?” Ethan asked.

“Nothing,” Cole lied.

“Don’t lie to me Cole I heard your heartbeat, what happened? What’s wrong with your arm?” Ethan asked again.

“I hurt it a little that does all just don’t say anything, okay? I also need your help with something…” Cole started to explain what happened to Scott’s mom and Isaac when Stiles came running to them.

“Cole! We need to go now,” Stiles shouted.

“Why? What happened?” Cole asked.

“It’s too long of a story just come, Ethan are you in?” Stiles asked him. Ethan nodded and they both followed Stiles. As they were walking Ethan grabbed Cole’s injured arm and somehow took the pain away from him. Cole just looked at Ethan and Ethan nodded like he understood. Everyone piled into Cole’s truck. Cole, Lydia and Allison sat in the front while the twins, Scott and Stiles squished in the three person holding back seat.

“Where is this bank?” Cole asked and Lydia who seemed annoyed made Cole switch spots with her as she drove them to the abandoned bank. They parked and Allison grabbed two duffel bags of weapons and tossed one to Cole then he slung it over his shoulder.

"Where's Derek? I thought he was going to help," Stiles rolled his eyes and closed the car door.

"Derek's right here," Derek said as he appeared out of nowhere.

"Yeah. I'm still not used to all of this," Cole said walking towards Ethan.

"Be careful okay?" Ethan said looking at Cole's arm.

"My arm is fine, how did you fix it?" Cole asked bluntly.

"I'm a werewolf," Ethan smiled. "Now I really love that shirt on you so don't ruin it, okay?"

"Of course," Cole laughed and hugged Ethan. Cole turned and started walking to the main doors.

"You ready partner?" Allison asked getting her cross-bow ready.

"Definitely," Cole said as Stiles lined up beside him. Lydia walked in front leading the way and the four werewolves brought up the rear as planned. As they got inside Lydia led them to the beginning of a hallway and then stopped. Cole grabbed a hand gun and held it in ready position as he and Allison stepped in front of Lydia and Stiles so that they were in the middle of the group. They walked down the hall and all the lights went out. "Scott?" Cole whispered.

"Yeah?" He answered.

"Don't you feel as if this is --" Cole was cut off by a voice being amplified by a P.A system.

"Too easy?" Cut in the voice.

"Exactly," Cole whispered. The lights began to flicker on and off and when Cole turned around everyone behind Lydia and Stiles were gone.

"Oh my gosh what just happened?" Lydia began to panic. "Aiden?" She called out but got no response.

"Scott?" Allison called out but got no response.

"Ethan?" Cole called out but got no response.

"Oh I guess that leaves me with Derek then huh?" Stiles complained. "Derek?" He called out but again got no response.

"Take a gun Stiles," Cole said keeping his head on a swivel as the lights turned back on. He grabbed a second hand gun from his bag and gave it to his friend. "Let's go find some people," Cole pulled back on the top part of his gun and it made a loud clicking sound that echoed throughout the hallway. The four of them got to the vault and Lydia opened it.

"Melissa?" Stiles called but got no response.

"Isaac?" Allison called.

"Over here," croaked a weak voice. They looked to the left to see Isaac half tied in rope surrounded by a circle of mountain ash. The lights shut off again but this time it was pitch black and no one could see a thing.

"There is only person who could see how this was made too easy," The loud voice laughed. "Especially because you have Lydia; now that they have got you guys here you can have your little fight. They will give you your wolves back seeing as if you will need as much help as you can get. We'll even let you have Isaac back too! But one thing..." Then the sound of Lydia's high pitch scream rung through Cole's ears. The lights were turned back on and Scott, Derek and the twins were in front of them but Lydia wasn't.
