A Soldier On My Own [Book 1]

The Balance Between Three

Notes:

Hello, I got another chappie, it's pretty long this time. 

Also, I'm really pumped for this story so get ready, it's moving in my mind, I fell out of my writer's block and I am raring to go.

<><><>

I woke up suddenly, I was back in human form and I was lying on the floor in shredded, but still there clothes.

I slowly eased my body up. I felt the sun on my face and leaves under my feet. Why was I outside? What exactly happened last night? I look around trying to see if Peter was next to me or anywhere really. All I really saw was one of Peters shoes on the floor. It had to be Peter because it was really fancy and I think I remember him wearing it yesterday, at least I hope it's Peter's.

However, the man himself was nowhere to be found. As were my chains, I only had one left attached to my leg but everything else was gone and I have no idea where I am. Probably somewhere in the middle of the woods. What the hell am I gonna do?

But as a saving grace, Peter comes stumbling out of the woods to my right. He looked extremely tired, and disheveled. He was missing one shoe and his eyes finally landed on me.

"Oh, Stiles you're finally back to your normal self. At least I hope you are because I'm not doing this again. We've got to find a better way to hold you on a full moon", I started to stand on my shaky feet. I looked down at my appearance and ground. I steadied myself as best as I could and I look towards Peter again,

"What exactly happened? I don't remember much after... Actually, I don't really remember much. I just remember this really bad headache, like my brain was on fire. And then I think I was dreaming, but I'm not too sure. And then I woke up here in the woods alone." I don't know why I didn't tell him about the dream with the fox and the wolf but I decided to keep it to myself for now. I mean I kinda trust Peter, but it's kind of personal to be honest I don't really want to tell anyone about this.

Peter started to walk in some direction, I'm assuming civilization. But who knows by this point I'm so lost and confused he could be leading me off a cliff and I probably follow. As we walked we talked. Peter started to catch me up on everything that happened last night.

He told me about how he had chained me up after the whole car fiasco. And how after that something happened while chained up in the chair. He said I turned into a Wolf. A full on freaking wolf. And then he said that I started to bang my head into the floor whimpering. And then suddenly I started growling and trying really hard to break out of the chains. He did tell me that I broke out and knocked him out for a few minutes and dashed out the house, and into the woods as fast as I could.

He told me he caught up with me and tackled me to the floor and that's sort of how some of my clothes became how they look now. He said I tried to go to the town to do whatever I was trying to do but he kept me in the woods and it was just running around until a few hours ago when he lost me. And he just found me now as a human and transformed from my wolf form. And thankfully back to my senses.

We finally reached my car, which was parked outside the Hale house.

"So I didn't hurt anyone right?" I question Peter again.

"No I caged you in the forest, you didn't make it close to town. Anyway, let's go I want to sleep. And you need to shower." Peter said getting in my car, I sniffed myself and groaned this was not what I needed ugh. I hopped into the driver seat,

"Okay were to Peter?"

"Derek's place, I'm crashing there at the moment."

"Right, then to Derek's loft."

Finally, I pulled into the driveway and I see my dads cruiser. Crap... I look down at my barely-there clothes. Great, this is just great, as if I really needed more drama. I parked the car and got out and unlocked my front door. I closed it quietly and crept up the stairs to my bedroom door. So far so good my dad must still be asleep. I got lucky.

I spoke too soon cause when I opened the door there sitting on my bed was dear ol' dad. Fuck my life. He was sitting there in his uniform and was clearly upset.

"Heyyy, daddio," I say with a cheery voice.

"Stiles where the hell have you been, and don't say with Scott cause I called him and he said he hasn't seen you since yesterday afternoon, so speak carefully." I stood there frozen, crap he called Scott, damn it, I was trying to avoid this.

"Uh well funny story really uh I was hanging out with another friend, you won't know him he doesn't really get out much but uh we just went for a walk yeah, ah a really really really long walk last night." Even I could tell that that sounded stupid but I'm not telling my dad what really happened not for at least another year.

"You went for a really long walk all night with a new friend, and what pray tell happened to you're clothes, huh? Your new friend do that too?" I can hear the skeptical sarcasm as clear as day.

"Uh no um this was uh I tripped uh down the side of a cliff actually. I didn't get hurt really but uh my clothes probably need to go in the trash." I told him, picking at my clothes.

"Stiles what I say about the lying, I thought no more secrets. I know about the supernatural now you can tell me anything right?" He was giving the disappointed dad face. And I'd love to tell him but I'm not safe and if I tell him he'll never leave me alone.

I feel like shit but I tell him, "Dad seriously nothing happened I just hung out with another friend, I'm not saying who but we really just walked around the woods last night. And as for my clothes uh well that's a bit more complicated." I say.

"Supernaturally complicated?" My dad askes.

I nod, "Yeah a bit, I can't really talk about it, when I find out more I'll tell you then." I say looking at the floor.

My dad nods, "And your friend, he's not dangerous?" I paused well Peter is plenty dangerous, hell he's probably the most knowledgeable supernatural creature here, well I guess minus me.

"Well, not to me. I don't think, I mean he's totally safe." I say as my dads face get angrier.

"Right, and does Scott know who your supernatural friend is?"

I nod, "Yeah he knows him, don't worry dad I'm more than safe. I can handle myself you know."

My dad just sighs and stands up,

"Fine, but we are gonna talk about this soon or I'm gonna stick Scott on you, got it?" I nod

"Yes sir" I give a salute and landed face down on my bed, I groaned feeling tired, but I realized that I did have to shower.

I hear my door shut and my dad walked downstairs and out of the house. He got in his car and said to himself

"Ugh, kids."

And pulled out and left into town. I slowly got up and shedded all the clothes or what was left of them and headed straight for the shower. This was a long night.

Soon after I fell asleep for a good 10 hours. And I had a few interesting dreams. Most about me walking through the woods with a fox and a wolf. We were peaceful and happy. It was a really good dream. And for once it didn't turn into a nightmare.
