Fox and the wolf

Chapter 2

Derek's POV

"Come on Stiles! Change into your human form please!" my mother begs once again. Its been a few years now and the fox which I've come to know as Stiles, weird I know, has been staying with us. He still to this day refuses to change out of his wolf form. We've tried everything. My mother asked, pleaded, even demanded, my uncle as well even my sister. They even had me ask since he had taken a liking to me. Ever since I brought him he follows me almost anywhere I go. I say almost because he can't go to school with me because the last time he did, he snuck into my backpack, he caused this huge mess in my art class. It took days to get all the paint and glue out of his fur. Even though I got a weeks worth of detention it was super funny to watch.

     I was pulled out of my thoughts by my mother walking over to me. "Derek," she said "can you try to reason with him, again. At least try to figure out why he won't change. You are the only one that he doesn't give just a blank stare too."

    "Alright mom I'll try, Stiles come here buddy," I said walking toward him slowly.

    Stiles came running over and sat at my feet. I sit down on my knees so im more level with him.

     He looks so different now. Mom says he's only half the size of what he will be. He's getting rid of his fuz too but still has some fuz. He's like a fox form of that penguin from happy feet, Mumble I think, not sure Laura made me watch it once.

   "Are you okay, Stiles?"

   Stiles answers with a small bark and nodding his head.

   "I know you're probably sick of hearing this but why won't you change? Did someone tell you not to?"

    Stiles nods his head rapidly.

    "Okay. Now we are getting somewhere. Who told you not to change Stiles?" My uncle came up from behind me.

   Stiles looks at him with a blank face and his ears pinned down then lays down and looks back up at me.

    Then my mom comes in and takes my uncle out of the room knowing Stiles won't answer anyone but me and only when we are by ourselves. Once my uncle was out of the room he perked back up and went back to sitting up in front of me

   "So, Stiles... Who told you not to change?" I asked him gently.

    Stiles gets up and starts running he went up the steps and came back down barking like he wanted me to follow him. I got up and ran after him. He kept running until he got to my mother then stopped and sat down looking at me.

   I look at him confused, then asked "What, Stiles?" My mother looks confused as well.

    Stiles started to do this run/jump motion between me and my mother.

    "Wait. She did? Mom told you not to change? But sh-"  Stiles interrupted me barking, shaking his head 'no' and continue running between us.

    "It was your mom?" Stiles nods.

   "Oh." My mother and I say at the same time.

Stiles POV

Finally they get it! Now maybe they will finally stop trying to force me into changing to a human. What don't they understand humans are bad nothing good ever comes from them. Mom told me this is the only way I'll be safe. If I change the humans or hunters as everyone here calls them will hurt everyone I care about and me. Derek has been the only one that gets that I want to be a fox over the past 3 years he's never once tried to make me change. He's asked nicely but never tried forcing me after I shake my head 'no'. I feel safe with him even though he can be mean sometimes....well most times. Peter is scary looks like he would kill me or eat me if he had the chance. Talia is nice but she's big and says says I should listen because she's the "alpha" whatever that is also she wants me to change and hurt everyone. Laura I don't see her much sometimes I'll play with her but only if derek's around. I miss mom I don't get to talk to anyone anymore. It's really lonely in my head. Mom could talk to me in my head. These wolves can't and Derek is the only one that finds a way to talk to me. I remember Mommy always calling me her little chatter box I guess I see why because I get quite annoying in my head sometimes. Isn't that right, Stiles? Why yes Stiles, that is right. I'm bored now maybe I can get Derek to go outside. I bite his pant leg and start pulling at it. "What buddy?" He looks down at me. I let go and run to the door and paw at it all look back at him giving my best adorable look. "You want to go outside?" He says looking at me with a defeated look.  Laura then comes over to us saying "Mom told me to watch over you guys, so let's go."

                6 years later

    "You guys are 15 and 18 years old and I still have to babysit you guys. Derek if mom asks I was with you the whole time and was watching you" Laura said as she ran off in an opposite direction. 9

      "So now what?" Derek said looking at me. I got up to him and nudge him as if to say "tag". I take off running knowing if he changes he will be twice my size and much stronger than me but I'm still a lot faster.
