Teen Wolves

Three: Wolf Moon pt. iii

Lana Del Rey- Dark Paradise

I didn't get to talk to Scott last night. After my mini freak out, I drank some of the tea Derek had given me. It tastes as bad as it smells but I drank the whole cup of tea. It made me feel tired and I went to bed. 

My alarm didn't go off. What woke me up is something else. I sat up on my bed. My throat feels like it's on fire. I instantly began to cough hunching over the side feeling like I'm going to throw up. 

"Skylar," I heard my mom call out. 

I rushed over to the bathroom and silently began to heave over the toilet. I threw up what looks like the tea I had drunk last night. My mom walked in helping me up before she flushed the toilet. She handed me a wet towelette. 

-I'm fine- I signed. She placed her hand over my forehead to see if I had a fever. 

"Want to go to the doctor? You can hang out with me at work today,"

-No, I'm fine. I forgot to take my medicine last night. I was really tired- she nodded pushing my hair back. 

"Okay, then. Take them now. If you don't feel good at school call me and I will bring you home," I nodded. 

I walked out to my room and took the medicine. I had forgotten to take it last night. When I made sure she was out of sight, I rushed back into the restroom and pushed Scott's door open. He looked up at me startled. He's climbing inside from his bedroom window. I shut the door behind me quietly.

-What the hell?- I signed wondering where the hell he had been all night.

"Shh, something happened. I woke up in the middle of woods," he whisper-shouted. "I haven't slept walk since I was little," 

-Scott- I signed pointing at his side. His bite is gone too. I lifted my t-shirt to show him mine was gone too. His fingertips grazed my skin. 

"What the hell?" he whispered looking up at me. I just shrugged. "Just get ready for school. We'll figure it out," 

I walked back to my room shutting the door behind me. I continued drinking the tea for the rest of the week. We never figured out why our freaking wounds just suddenly disappeared. I convinced myself that maybe we had made a bigger deal about it than it had been. I didn't throw up again and the rest of the week my cough and the itch slowly started to fade away. If I see Derek Hale anytime soon. I'm going to have to thank him.  

"Hey," I looked up to see Isaac Lahey sit next to me. I smiled at him.

I have known Isaac for a while. He and I, we're kind of classified outsiders. I don't know why he would choose to isolate himself from anyone else. As far as I know, he is the ideal person to be someone in this school. He's handsome, tall, killer smile, and he's a sweetie. He knows a little sign but he likes it when we write notes to one another better. His handwriting is beautiful as if he practices to make sure it's that nice. 

Today is Friday. I have no work but my mom doesn't want me to stay with Scott after school because of what happened the other morning. What I have noticed is that some days, I'm full of energy. Other days, I'm completely drained. All I want to do is sleep and honestly, that's not like me at all. It feels like something sucks the energy out of me. 

Not today. Today, I feel uncomfortable. My skin feels tight. I feel restless and moody. Everything is irritating and I feel like others are picking up on it too because they're staying away or they don't linger when they do approach. 

"Skylar," I looked up at Mr. Josten, my trigonometry teacher. "Are you finished?" 

I nodded. He motioned me to go up there and do the problem written on the board. I stood up leaving my paper and began the problem.
