Finding Stiles

Chapter 2

Stiles peered open his eyes as he listened to the sounds of the forest from inside the safety and warmth of Scott's covers.

I should make a den out of this sometime. He drowsily contemplated to himself. It would be easier than trying to find moss for bedding. He yawned before sleepily thinking. Way easier.

Stiles was awakened by soft shaking, causing him to whine and roll over. Not yet Scotty . I'm still tired. Scott kept shaking though. Stiles let out his fox equivalent of grumbling in annoyance and jumped off the bed, stumbling a little bit. He stood there waiting for the dizziness to pass and then trotted off, chirping at Scott as if to say, Hurry up, you comin'? Scott rolled his eyes and hurried after the fox. There was a dish on the floor for the fox and he rushed to it, grateful to have something cooked for once. He wolfed it down and drank some water from the dish beside it. Scott looked on, torn between being worried at how Stiles was so comfortable eating off the floor like a dog and relieved that he had his best friend back.

"Daddy who's that?" Asked little Ace, pointing his finger towards Stiles. The fox looked up, a piece of sausage dangling from his mouth before he swallowed it and proceeded to let out a series of long chirps.

"Al, what's he saying?" Alicia rolled her eyes at her father's question.

"Yeah, I'm not repeating all of that. He's basically lecturing you about not telling your kids about him and about neither of you telling Ace he was here." Stiles finished lecturing about 10 minutes later after leading the two in their family room with him on the table and them sitting on the couch. The two would have had no idea what he was saying, but Alicia took care of that and repeated everything the fox said.

Alicia! Alicia jumped when he called her name and turned around to face him with a raised brow. Tell them I want to go see the others now. Alicia translated and they all got ready. Stiles was waiting by the door, practically quivering with excitement. Scott pulled out his cell phone to text everyone about a pack meeting. Stiles chirped at the phone, and Alicia told them that he said he's getting them one of those when he becomes human again before they got in the car and drove to the pack house.

When they got there, Ace was sent upstairs with the other kids. Alicia was allowed to come with them to translate. In the living room, everybody else was there except a couple people and Stiles shot in. Hurriedly scooting over from person to person, practically vibrating with excitment.

"Hiya Scott. Um, whose your little friend?" Erica asked. Stiles's head shot over to her from where he was rubbing against Derek's legs and ran over jumping in her lap and rubbing his head against her face repeatedly before jumping onto Boyds lap and doing the same to him. He turned and saw Aiden. He let out a whine and jumped to him, curling up in the surprised man's lap. Stiles was shaking and taking in shuddering breaths as he whined and let out pained chitters. Alicia's face screwed up in pain, sympathy, and sorrow as she listened to what he was saying.

"Yeah, and why is it doing that?" Aiden asked awkwardly.

"Guys... that's Stiles." Everyone gasped, letting out cries of 'No way!' And 'What?!' And a million other things. Scott whistled loudly and everyone quieted down. Suddenly and out of no where, Isaac burst out in tears. He ran to Stiles and grabbed him from Aiden, causing the fox to let out a chirp of confusion and surprise. Aiden let out a protesting 'Hey!' but Isaac ignored him as he held onto the fox for dear life. Stiles whined and pushed his face into his friends shoulder. The front door opened and everyone's head snapped to the front door. The Sheriff and Melissa walked into the room. Stiles saw them and froze.

"Hey guys, sorry we're la-" He was cut off by Stiles launching himself from Isaac's arms and into his father's. The fox dug his claws in to keep from falling off and cried into his father's shoulder. "Guys. What and who is this?" The confused Sheriff asked them.
