About a week and a half later, I'm sat in my room, hoping to ask Jug if he wants to hang out. Betty's been at home the past week, which has made me incredibly bored aside from the occasional dinner or phone call with Sweet-Pea, who's become a more prominent person in my life over the past few weeks.

"Now, don't be mad Logan, but I'm going to love and leave you for the evening." Jug informs me, walking into my room.

"Date night?" I ask, Jug nods.

"No fair, you guys are my only friends! Plus, I was gonna ask if we could hang out!" I whine.

"Sorry Logan, we will tomorrow, okay? And Betty and I are so not your only friends! What about Cheryl and Toni?" Jug asks.

"Toni doesn't like me because I'm your right hand instead of her, and Cheryl doesn't like me because Toni doesn't like me." I argue.

"Absolutely not true. Archie?" Jughead says.

"Arch can't go anywhere near me without Veronica snapping at my ankles- I don't want to make her mad OR see her." I say.

"Well what about Sweet-Pea? You've been talking to him more recently!" Jug says

"Okay, stop trying to make me friends. Go on your date." I laugh.

"Fine, I'll see you when I get home." He says, I flop back on my bed and he leaves.

Usually when Betty and Jughead are out, I have things to do around the house or I'm too depressed to move. For once I find myself completely bored and feeling pretty decent. I weigh up my options on what to do and draw blank, so I decide to go for a run, which will either tire me out for an early night or give me an idea on what to do. I change into suitable running clothes and head off.

Before everything happened, becoming a werewolf or any of that I used to run every day, I loved it. But these days I don't get to run much unless it's away from something so it's nice to have a bit of me time to myself. I run towards the edge of the forest, mulling over if I should go to pops to get some food, and decide against it. I get to the riverbed of Sweetwater river, just jogging at this point when I see I flashing light in the dim light ahead of me, I stop jogging and pace towards it but stop dead in my tracks when I realise what it is, right at my feet is a tripwire, and the flashing object is a trap used to temporarily deafen and blind werewolves, how do I get rid of the trap? Will it hurt a human? How many people come out here besides me? I make the split decision, I get down on the ground, and use my claw to set off the tripwire, breaking it completely. There's a flash of light and sound and I squeeze my eyes shut and cover my ears. God knows how long I lay there before I get up and see an arrow embedded into the tree, had I been standing there it would've shot me between the eyes. Having disabled the trap, I sprint away, running towards my house, what do I do? Who do I call, what does this mean? Should I call Stiles? I get home breathless, sweaty and afraid to see Sweet-Pea at my front door.

"Sweet-Pea?" I ask.

"Sorry, I ran into Betty and Jughead and they suggested I keep you company. You okay?" Sweet-Pea asks, I nod, inviting him in.

"Sorry I'm sweaty, I went for a run." I say, leaning on the kitchen counter, he sits at the somewhat cluttered dining table.

"Nah, don't sweat- don't worry about it, you look hot." Sweet-Pea says, avoiding his pun and accidently making another.

"Shut up." I laugh.

"Are you sure you're okay? You look like you've seen a ghost." Sweet-Pea asks.

"I found something in the woods." I say. He looks at me concerned.

"What?" He asks.

"I found a tripwire and a werewolf trap, a high-tech one at that." I say.
