Uniquely Normal

Unleashed

A/N: so you may be wondering why I'm posting early, and I'm here to tell you that it's in celebration that I'm ALMOST DONE writing season 3a! So you get a chapter today AND on Saturday like normal! Enjoy!

Sadly, joining the cross country team meant having the wake up early on certain days of the week, and today was one of those days.

I was stretching at the beginning of the trail along with the rest of the team when the lacrosse team walked over and joined us.

Scott, Stiles, and Isaac joined me, and Stiles gave me a look.

"Remind me again why you're on the cross country team?" He said, stretching his arms.

I reached down and touched my toes, alternating between them.

"Well, considering that the supernatural has seemed to permanently infiltrate my everyday routine, I figured that if I'm going to be running for my life every now and then, I might as well be good at it." I said as I finished up.

"And besides," I continued as I twisted my torso to pop my back. "Now that my lack of sexual experience is literally a threat to my life, now is as good of a time as ever."

Stiles' face contorted from his thinking face to his infamous attempt at a flirty face as we both finished up our warm ups. We all got down into the starting stance, and I noticed the twins, who I recently learned were part of the alpha pack, placed themselves on each side of Isaac.

I could tell Stiles was getting ideas, but timing was on my side as Coach blew the whistle, and we began to run. Stiles and I kept up with each other, pacing ourselves the same way as we ran through the woods.

"Are you starting to regret this?" He asked me over the loud crunch of the leaves under our feet, as well as his heavy breathing.

"Not a bit!" I said, my breathing still at a normal pace. "Why? Are you getting tired?"

He scoffed. "As if."

I smirked. "Then try to keep up, Stilinski."

I started to run a bit faster, leaving him behind to follow me. I laughed at the fact that I could hear his breathing from where I was.

I turned a corner, along with the rest of the team, and suddenly stopped in my tracks.

There was a boy, tied to a tree by his neck with blood covering his clothes. One of the girls screamed, and I felt Stiles' presence beside me.

I turned to look at him fearfully. "Another one."

We looked back at the boy, and were soon joined by Isaac, Scott, and the twins. The twins looked at the body, and then at each other. Neither of their expression suggested they expected this.

"It's him, isn't it?" Stiles asked Scott as he nodded towards the body.

"Hey, get out of the way, get back!" I heard behind me.

I turned around to see the sheriff, as well as a couple other deputies, rushing toward the body and pushing through the crowd that surrounded it.

"Get this area cordoned off before they trample every piece of evidence." Stilinski demanded.

A female deputy stretched her arms out. "Back up! Everyone back!"

Stiles made his way towards his father.

"Get these kids out of here!" His dad yelled before he turned to look at him.

"Dad, just come here." Stiles said, grabbing his father's arm and pointing to the boy's neck. "Look, you see this? It's the same as the others, you see?"
