These things will change

Can you feel it now?

This revolution

The time will come for us to finally win

And we'll sing Hallelujah Hallelujah

My evening started out normal. Dinner with my nephew and sister, and then at ten o'clock I had went to my room to dink around on my computer. I laid down after an hour to try and sleep, but I couldn't. I was starting to get really pissed off when I heard some bumps from outside the house. Worried it was someone trying to break in I grabbed my .9mm from the corner of the room and headed out. At the same time my nephew, Scott, was walking out of his room with a wooden bat. I nodded at him and we headed out to the porch. Hearing the noise again I watched as Scott gripped his bat tighter and we both started looking around, finally looking up I noticed a figure climbing up the trellis. The figures feet slipped and he fell hanging upside down in front of Scott and I. Both my nephew and the intruder started screaming as they came face to face. Recognizing the intruder as Stiles Stilinski, Scott's best friend, I rolled my eyes and lowered the gun.

"Fucking pussies." I mumbled before tuning into their conversation.

"Why do you have a bat? AND A GUN? ARE YOU LICENSED TO CARRY THAT?" Stiles asked pointing in between Scott and I.

"I thought you were a rapist." I told him at the same time Scott replied, "I thought you were a predator." I threw him a weird look. A predator? Really.

"A preda- What? Alright I know it's late, but you've gotta hear this. I saw my dad leave 20 minutes ago. Dispatch called. They're bringing every officer from the beacon department, and even the state police." Stiles told us. My eyebrows shot up. I took a few steps closer to the boys.

"For what?" Scott and I asked.

"Get this. Two hikers found a body in the woods." My eyes widened in surprise.

"Holy shit!" I exclaimed, while Scott, my dearest nephew, though not the brightest crayon in the box decided to have a moment.

"Like a dead body?" he questioned his best friend. I gave him an "are you really that stupid look" while my buddy Stiles went with the sarcastic approach.

"No, a body of water. Yes, dumb ass a dead body." I snickered slightly before an interesting thought crossed my mind.

"Wait... If the hikers found the body, what are they looking for?" I questioned. Stiles grinned.

"That's the best part. They only found half." He said his voice rising a pitch at the end

"No shit!" Stiles nodded excitedly and then looked to Scott.

"We are so going." he said.

"Alright, well you kids have fun. I'm going back to bed. See ya." I told them before turning to head inside.

"You're not gonna come? C'mon Cora you love crap like this!" Stiles whined. I smiled slightly at Scott's best friend.

"True, but I'm tired and tomorrow I finish up the remodel on my apartment and that's going to take a while, so I'd like to get some sleep before that." I replied heading inside. I shook my head at myself, I was a horrible aunt. I debated about running outside and telling them I would come, but I particularly feel like running around the woods searching for weird death in the middle of the night. I had pretty much given up that life, but still, maybe I'd look into it tomorrow. I went upstairs and laid back down, knowing that work was going to be hectic tomorrow.
