Monster in Me | Teen Wolf [Book 2]

Fireflies

Scarlett wanders around the woods alone looking for any sign of Boyd and Cora. Derek, Scott, and Scar split up looking for them. They figured this would allow for the trio to cover more ground and give them the best chance in finding the two werewolves before they caused harm to anyone.

Derek called Scarlett about 15 minutes into the search, "Hey, I'm by the trails at the entrance to the preserve. Come meet me. Scott thinks we should stick together."

"Alright, I'll be right there." Scarlett hangs up and starts making her way towards the Alpha. Once Scott, Derek, and Scarlett are back together, they quickly run through the woods chasing after Boyd and Cora. Derek stops short, dropping to look at something on the ground.

The twins stop next to him to see tracks in the mud, "Is it them?" Scott asks.

Derek nods, "We're not the only ones who decided to stick together."

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Scar questions.

"I don't know."

"Derek, I saw Boyd try to rip two little kids apart. Are they going to do that to everyone they find?" Scott asks, clearly worried.

"Everyone and anyone." Derek sighs.

"Well, we're going to need more help then." Scarlett says as she pulls out her phone calling Isaac.

Following the sounds of a girl yelling for another girl, the group quickly makes their way towards her to make sure she gets out of the woods safe. Isaac makes it first, just in time to save her from a transformed Cora.

Cora grips onto Isaac's jacket and throws him into a tree. She moves to attack him once more but Scarlett leaps over Isaac, taking Cora down. Cora scrambles back up quickly but now comes face to face with Derek. Scott, Isaac and Scarlett circling the brother and sister.

Cora carefully watches the four werewolves but rather than staying to fight she makes the wise decision to run. Derek quickly charges after her, Isaac and Scar close behind. Scott stays for a brief moment to make sure the girl isn't hurt.

They wait in a small clearing as Scott talks to Stiles on the phone. Scarlett quickly checks her phone to see a missed call from Lydia. She sends the strawberry blonde a message to let her know that she will call her back later but is busy at the moment and can't talk.

Once Scott finishes the call Derek speaks up, "This doesn't make sense. The public pool is on the other side of the woods. We haven't tracked them anywhere near there."

"Derek... they killed someone." Scott says.

Scarlett shakes her head, "I don't think so. Like Derek said it doesn't add up. They can't possibly move that fast."

"They killed someone. Someone totally innocent is dead and it's our fault." Scott says.

"It's my fault." Derek takes full blame.

"We need help."

"We have Isaac now."

"I mean real help." Scott pauses and looks at Isaac, "No offense."

"Not exactly sure how I could take that any other way." Isaac replies, pulling his lips into a thin line. Scar instinctively grabs his hand and gives it a gentle squeeze.

"They're too strong for us. All of us. They're too fast, too rabid-"

Scott is cut off by Derek, "We'll catch them."
