Aspen Juniper Veata has only ever known Beacon Hills to be a quiet and dainty town. Herself, along with her best friends Scott McCall and Stiles Stilinski, had gone unnoticed by their peers in high school for as long as they could remember. Aspen ha...

Aspen flinched from the sound she hated so much at the moment. She despised whoever decided to call her at the most inconvenient time. Just as her hands began to grow comfortable in Isaac's, the tension returns, and she retreated her hands into her back pocket.
Getting to her feet, she looked down at the caller ID and scoffed.
"You little shit..." she huffed, gripping her phone till her knuckles turned white. Isaac stood with her and peered over her shoulder.
"Are you gonna pick it up?" Isaac questioned, crossing his arms over his chest.
Aspen jumped when she felt his warm breath on her neck. She tilted her head to face him and gave a weary smile before picking up the phone.
"Stiles there better have a damn good explanation as to why-"
"It's Scott Aspen. He left the party. He just barged out without a word. He didn't look too good, and he just drove off like a mess." Stiles' frantic tone brought immediate panic to Aspen.
"Woah, wait wait slow down. Did you see him drink anything? If he's drunk and driving-"
"No, I was watching him and Allison the whole time. They didn't drink a thing. He just looked like he was in pain and panicked. I was right, June. The bite was from Derek Hale; he's a werewolf. He bit Scott."
Aspen's mouth hung open at the words coming from Stiles. She was in shocked silence. She never thought in her life would she hear that a werewolf bit her friend. She didn't want to belive this. None of it. It was too unreal to even worry about.
"Stiles if this is some kind of sick joke-"
"Aspen, listen to me! Where are you? I'm going to pick you up so we can go find him."
"He's not home?"
"That's the thing. After Scott left, he left Allison there, and Derek is the one that picked her up from the party. I caught up with Scott when he got home and gave him the news. He said he couldn't control his shift and just jumped out the window to go somewhere."
"He jumped out his window!?" Aspen shouted, holding a hand over her chest. From the fumbling sound on the other line, she assumed she had scared Stiles into dropping his phone.
Standing behind Aspen, Isaac furrowed his brows at the complex conversation. He couldn't hear a thing they Stiles was saying, but everything Aspen was saying didn't seem to make any sense. Especially Scott jumping out the window.
"Did you forget that minor detail where I said Derek bit Scott?"
"Well, I'm sorry, Stiles, if him jumping out the window is realistically concerning to me!"
"Yes, Scott jumped, but you wanna know how he didn't break a bone? Because he's a werewolf! Now, where are you?" Stiles' voice reached high-pitched as he spoke, making Aspen pull away from the phone to save her eardrums from bursting.
