Knocking on Death's door

CHAPTER 1

Sam awoke suddenly, surrounded by darkness, a loud honk arousing him from his slumber. The sound dimmed as it passed them.

"Assholes!" He heard Dean yell, honking the Impala's horn in response as the truck passed them at an immense speed, the light from its headlights flooding through the windows. 

Dean swore once more as Sam sat up, wiping the sleep from his eyes. His face hurt from where it had rested uncomfortably against the door.

"Sorry Sammy," Dean said, taking his eyes off the road to glance over at his brother. "Nap time's over. We're almost there."

Sam frowned. Were they going somewhere? He couldn't remember.

"Where?" He asked curiously, rubbing his neck. 

Dean didn't take his eyes off the road as he answered,

"Beacon Hills." He pushed down harder on the accelerator. "But first, burgers."

He said as in the far distance the sun began to rise, only barely lighting the dark.

"Scott! Wake up or you're going to be late for school!" Melissa shouted from the bottom of the stairs, her voice carrying up to Scott's room. 

Scott woke up extremely uncomfortably, his head pressed against a hard surface. He lifted his head with a groan and found he'd fallen asleep on his math textbook, his drool leaving a small mark on the page.

"Oh man." He said groaning, looking at the two unanswered questions of eight parts he still had left to finish. And checking his phone he saw he was already going to be late.

I'll do it in the car he thought to himself as he quickly pulled off his sweaty shirt and picked another clean-ish shirt from of the ground. He smelled it and shrugged. He scrambled his stuff together and put his shoes on as he went down the stairs. Stumbling every few steps. He'd almost reached the door when his mother came up behind him.

"Werewolf or not, you still need your breakfast." She said and he turned around to find her holding out a plastic wrapped sandwich.

"Mom, you know how Stiles it about food in his truck." Scott complained, despite how hungry he was. 

Melissa simply raised an eyebrow. He smiled and took it.

"Thanks, mom." He said and leant forward to give her a quick kiss on the cheek. 

She smiled as he turned around and quickly opened the door, sprinting down the few steps just as Stiles' jeep came around the corner, late as always. He drove way to fast and came to a screeching stop outside Scott's house.

"C' mon man!" Stiles shouted to him from his car, leaning out his already rolled down window.

"I'm coming. I'm coming." Scott said annoyed and reached the car, opening the door and getting in. 

Just as he slammed the door shut Stiles hit the accelerator and the rattling car surged forward. Giving Scott barely enough time to hold on as they started speeding through Beacon Hills.

"So," Dean said, "found anything?"

Sam hesitated before answering.
"In the lore, not much. But this definitely isn't a normal town. The amount of reported paranormal activity is way too high to be a coincidence or one or two nutters. A wolf-like beast in the local high school, a whole load or random, unconnected kids going missing before all appearing again at the same time. The only thing they had in common was that they all went to that same high school. And the amount of killing, wolf attacks, weird animal activity, teenager's deaths is unbelievable. The list just goes on and on. I think it's all connected to Beacon Hills high school." Sam said as the car hummed, rattling softly over the old road.
