The Quiet // Stiles Stilinski

Chapter 2: The Woods

Scott beat me to the front seat so I have to sit in the back. We're all in a comfortable silence and a few times I catch Stiles looking at me from the rear view mirror. "So you guys ready for school?" Stiles asks and I groan in response. Scott just laughs. "Oh come on Ellie, you love school." He added on and I fake laugh. "Yeah used to." I mumble and Scott stops laughing.

"What? I didn't hear you." Stiles said. "Nothing." I said and looked out the window. "Alright then, well I can't wait to see Lydia tomorrow. She somehow gets all of her outfits to perfection, then with her strawberry blonde hair. Scott I think that this is the year me and Lydia Martin will have something." My heart breaks hearing those words come out of Stiles' mouth.

"Uh yeah sure." Scott says awkwardly since he knows I have feelings for Stiles. "Damn you two are acting so weird tonight." Stiles says and the two of us stay quiet. After a couple more torturing minutes we are finally at our destination.  

I wait for Scott to get out but before I exit the jeep I grab Stiles' lacrosse hoodie from the trunk and put it on. I get out and Scott raises his eyebrow at me. "What? I'm cold, calm yourself." I say and he shakes his head lightly with a smirk. I punch his arm playfully and Stiles gives me a flashlight.

"Is that um...my uh..." Stiles stutters and I chuckle. "Yes Stiles this is your sweatshirt, I'm cold." I said and turned on the flashlight. "Right, yeah okay cool." He said and rubbed the back of his neck. I don't know why he's so nervous.

"Okay Stiles so where do we start looking?" Scott asked as we started walking past the "DO NOT ENTER" sign. "I don't know." He simply said, shining his flashlight around. I stopped walking and blinked quickly. Scott and Stiles turned around and looked at me confused. 

"So you're saying, that you have no idea where the body could possibly be. And now that I really think about it, why are we looking for the body when they already found it? Stiles why are we really here?" I ask realizing that none of this is probably true.

"We are here to look for the body Ellie, well the other half of it." Stiles said and my eyes widened. "Half?!" Scott said and Stiles nodded his head. "Yeah didn't I tell you that?" He asked starting to walk again and I threw my arms up in the air groaning. 

We continued walking for about 5 more minutes until I came to another realization. "Um Stiles what half of the body are we looking for?" I ask and he stops, giving us a weak smile. "Yeah that I don't know." He said and I nodded my head continuing on.

"This is taking forever lets go back, my legs are getting tired." I said and Stiles took my flashlight handing it to Scott, then turning around so his back was facing me. "Hop on." He said and I did. Scott moved his eyebrows at me and I gave him a death stare.

We kept on walking until Scott spoke up. "Maybe we should start to head back now I mean did it ever occur that the killer might still be out here?" He asked and Stiles looked at the ground. "No." He mumbled and I laughed. Stiles let me down and we heard a noise in the distance. "Way to go Scott you jinxed it!" I quietly said. "We need to split up." Stiles said and me and Scott looked at him like he was crazy. "Lets say it is the murderer, do we all want to die? If we split up we have a better chance of getting out of here alive." He finished and me and Scott nodded.

The three of us split up, going in the opposite direction of the noise. I'm quietly and carefully walking trying not to attract any attention. I see some sort of animal in the distance and it looks at me with glowing red eyes. Usually I would run away but something held me back from doing so. 

It started to come towards me and I slowly walked back. Out of nowhere it bolted towards me and I turned around running away as fast as I could. I look behind me while running and it's not chasing me anymore, then before I could react I tripped, twisting my ankle.

I heard sticks cracking and I quickly got up and hid behind a tree. I see a flashlight shine my way. "Hello? Is anyone there? Come out with your hands up." I recognize the voice. It was the sheriffs. I walk out limping, with my hands against my sides. "Ellie? What the hell are you doing out here? Are you okay?" He asked me and I started crying from the pain.

"I hurt my ankle, I think I only twisted it but it hurts like hell." I said through the tears and pain. "Okay come on I'll carry you to my truck. Wait are you out here alone or is Scott and Stiles with you?" He asked as he picked me up. I was about to reply until I heard someone yell out my name. It was Stiles

"Hey what the hell happened?" He asked quickly, but before I could respond again his dad started talking. "Ellie can tell you what happened in your car since now that you're here, you will be taking her home. I'm not going to get into why the two of you are out here right now, but we'll talk about it tomorrow." He said and carefully put me down. I saw Scott's hoodie peak out from behind a tree so I know he is okay. I jumped on Stiles' back and he made his way back to his jeep.

"Where is Scott?" Stiles asked me. "I don't know, I saw his hoodie though when we were with your dad so I know that he's alive." I said and rested my head on his shoulder. A couple of minutes go by and we made it back to his jeep. I slowly got off of his back and he opened the door, helping me in. Stiles shut the door and got in the drivers seat then started the car.

Stiles started driving back home and I know that Scott is on his way home now. If anything we'll see him walking back. "What happened to your ankle?" Stiles asked me and I got chills just remembering that animal. "You'll think I'm crazy" I said resting my head on the window.

"No I won't, I promise." He said and I sighed. "Well I saw this big animal with glowing red eyes. It started chasing me then when I turned around to see if it was still there I tripped and twisted my ankle." I said and Stiles was silent. 

He stayed silent and it broke me inside. I knew he would think I'm crazy. Can this night get any worse? 

He pulled up to my house and Scott's light is off so he must've already made it home. It's strange how he got back so fast, I won't overthink it. 

I unbuckled my seat belt and opened the car door but Stiles' hand stopped me. "What?" I asked annoyed. "Get a good night sleep alright? I'll see you tomorrow." He said and I got out of his jeep not taking a glance at him. I limped over to the door and went inside.

I limped upstairs and went over to Scott's door. I knocked and I heard him say come in. I opened the door and walked over to his bed and laid across it groaning. He got up to turn on his light then he sat back down.

"Alright lil sis, tell me everything and I'll tell you everything." Scott said and when I looked over to him he lifted up his shirt to reveal a bite mark. I nodded my head and told him what I saw and what happened. He told me what happened to him, and it was just like me except whatever that animal was actually bit Scott.

"Stiles thinks I'm crazy." I said playing with my fingers. "I told him what I saw and he just stayed silent!" I added on. "Well I'm not surprised he didn't believe you. I mean would you believe me if I told you what happened to me if that never happened to you?" He asked and I shook my head. "No probably not."

"Come on let's get you in bed." Scott said. He stood up and went to pick me up but I put my hand on his chest. "No you are not picking me up with you hurt as bad as you are. I can limp over to bed don't worry." I said and got up walking over to the door.

"Make sure you patch that up before you go to sleep, I love you goodnight." I said. "I will and love you too." He replied back but before I shut the door I needed to make one final comment.

"By the way we are only 1 minute and 20 seconds apart, I'm not that little." I said and shut the door going into my room and closing my door. "Yeah and that was the best 1 minute and 20 seconds of my life!" I heard him yell. I laughed and took off my shoes then I realized I still had on Stiles' hoodie.

I shook my head and took it off throwing it on my beanbag chair. I went into my bathroom and took some pain pills then turned off my light and got into bed. Slowly the pain in my ankle was going away and soon enough I fell asleep thinking about this crazy night.
