Chapter Fifty-One
💰 Muted 💰

"Of course you're still the team captain. You got your grades up, just like Coach told you to, right?" Sawyer said as she, Scott, Stiles and Anakin walked towards the field. "Yeah, but he never told me I was back on the team- he just told me to show up at try-outs today." Scott said and Stiles shook his head slightly, "We got bigger things to deal with, anyway. Did you tell Argent yet?" He asked. 

"Uh, I texted him, but he didn't get back to me." Scott said, making Stiles and Sawyer stop to look at him incredulously, "You told him his sister Kate came back from the dead over a text?" Sawyer asked and Scott looked at her sheepishly. "I didn't have the money to call France." He said, making her sigh and pinch the bridge of her nose. 

"Yeah, you think you got money problems? Try paying for an MRI and a visit to Eichen House." Stiles said, making them look at him, "Another notice?" Scott asked and Sawyer sighed and nodded, "Yeah. This one said final." Sawyer said before Stiles shook his head. 

"What the hell are we doing here, anyway? We got like, one hundred and seventeen million problems, and worrying about our status on the lacrosse team is not one of them." Stiles said and Scott looked over at the field, "It is now." He said making them turn around. 

There was a group of freshmen practicing on the field, but what really caught their eye was the goalie. Whoever the goalie was, he was catching every single shot like it was nothing. 

💰 

"Hey, Liam... You want to explain what that was out there?" Stiles said as they walked up to Liam in the locker room. Liam turned around looking at them weirdly, "What do you mean?" Liam asked, "That little display. Your little circus act." Stiles asked, making Liam furrow his brows. "What circus act?" He asked and Stiles looked at him like it was obvious, "You caught every shot." Stiles said and Liam nodded. 

"I was in goal." He said, looking at Stiles like he was stupid, "Yeah, but nothing, not a single shot got past you." Stiles said and Liam nodded slowly. "Yeah, I was the goalie." Liam said and Sawyer quietly chuckled at the look on Liam's face. "You guys played this game before?" Liam asked and Stiles sighed and gestured to Scott. "You're a freshman, right?" 

"Yeah..." Liam said and Sawyer furrowed her brows, "But you weren't here last semester." She said, making him look at her. "I transferred from Devenford Prep." Liam said and Scott and Sawyer looked at each other, Scott hearing Liam's heart beat while Sawyer could sense the lie. 

"You transferred?" Scott asked and Liam nodded, "Yeah..." He said slowly and Sawyer raised her eyebrows. "You got kicked out, didn't you?" She asked, making Liam look at her shocked, "All right, look- kicked out or transferred, what do you guys care? I came here to play lacrosse. The team could use a few good players, right?" Liam said frustratingly, making Stiles shake his head. 

"No. No, we don't need any more good players-" He started to say but Sawyer cut him off, "Actually after Jackson, Isaac and Danny left, the only good players we got left are Scott and I." She said making Stiles look at her offended before turning to Liam. 

"Okay, how'd you get this good? Have you always been this good? Or did it suddenly happen just once overnight? Have you ever been out in the middle of the woods during the night of a full-" Stiles said but got cut off by his sister pinching him, "Shut up, man." She said, giving him a dramatic look. 

"Look, I learned from my stepfather, all right? He made team captain when he was a sophomore. Just like you." Liam said while grabbing his bag then turned to Stiles, "And yeah... I guess I'm just that good." He said then walked off. 

"He wasn't lying that time." 

💰 

Malia, Sawyer and Anakin walked into class together to see a few equations on the board making Sawyer purse her lips for a moment before glancing at Malia. "Wanna skip?" She said and Malia looked away from the board and nodded before slowly stepping out of the doorway. 

They barely made it ten feet from the class before Stiles came up to them and grabbed Malia's shoulder and gave Sawyer a look making her follow behind them as he gently pushed Malia back to class. "I hate math. It's pointless." Malia said as Sawyer went to sit behind Lydia, next to Stiles. 

"It's school! School is important, and math is essential." Stiles said, "To what?" Malia asked, turning to Stiles while Anakin laid down next to Sawyer. "Knowing how much to tip at restaurants." Stiles said, making both Lydia turn to him with a look. "And other less important things, like medicine, economics, engineering..." Lydia said, making Malia look at her while Sawyer nodded slightly, "Tipping. Waiters and Waitresses are very underappreciated." Sawyer said, making Lydia give her a look and Sawyer just held her arms out slightly. 

"They are!" 

"All right, volunteers to the board! Lydia, Diego, Malia..." Ms. Flemming said, making Malia look up at her, "I didn't volunteer." Malia said. "You did now. To the board." Ms. Flemming said and Malia glanced back at Stiles and Sawyer who both gave her a thumbs up and she growled lowly before getting up along with Lydia. 

A few minutes later, Stiles and Sawyer's phones went off, making them pull their phones out. They both had a new alert that said "triple homicide developing", making them glance at each other. 

💰 

"An axe-murderer?" Kira asked as she, Stiles, Scott, Sawyer and Anakin walked through the halls, "A family murdering axe-murderer!" Sawyer said and Scott just nodded, "I already heard about it." Scott said, making the twins furrow their brows. 

"Wait, what? You did? How?" They both asked and Scott glanced at him as he opened his locker, "My mom called me. She knew we'd see it on the news." He said, Stiles and Sawyer nod. "Perfect! Let's go!" They said but Scott stopped them. "Whoa, whoa- we've got econ. in five minutes." He said making Stiles look at him crazy, "All right, did you forget the part about the family murdering axe-murderer?" 

"Did you forget your dad's the sheriff? They want us to stay out of it." Scott said and Sawyer squinted at him, "There's a family-murdering axe-murderer and we're not going to do anything about it?" She said looking at Scott incredulously. "Maybe we should just let the adults handle it." Kira said and the twins looked at them offended. 

"So, the two of you, you just want to stay here, school, go to class? Never heard anything so irresponsible in my life!" Stiles said as he grabbed his sister's shoulders and started pulling her down the hall. "See you guys at tryouts!" Scott called out making both Stiles and Sawyer do a dramatic hand gesture. 

💰 

"It was the first kiss since our actual first kiss." Scott said as the boys got ready for lacrosse tryouts while Sawyer was already dressed, sitting on the bench with Anakin. "That's good! You kissed her!" Stiles said and Scott nodded slightly, "I did... but I didn't..." Scott said, making Sawyer furrow her brows. 

"Was it on the lips?" Sawyer asked and Scott nodded, "Yeah..." He said and Stiles raised his eyebrows. "Was there tongue?" He asked and Scott shook his head, "No, I... It was like how you kiss your grandmother when you're five." Scott said, making the twins cringe slightly, "Oh! Chaste. You gave her a chaste kiss." They both said. 

"Yeah, and now it's... It's all weird. It's all completely weird, and I... I don't know what to do. Maybe I should text her..." Scott said and Sawyer looked at him crazy, "No! Just  no with the texts. God- that is like the worst thing you could do after making it awkward." Sawyer said before Coach walked in. 

"As a reminder, it's an open tryout today-- all positions available. This is a rebuilding season, people! Jackson's gone, Lahey's gone... Greenburg, the one guy I actually wanted gone, was held back... again. Get your asses on the field!" Coach yelled, making everyone start to walk out. 

A little while later, Kira and Malia sat down on the bleachers, Kira holding Anakin's leash and Malia carrying her textbooks, notebooks and highlighters. Coach blew his whistle as guys ran past him, "Terrible. Horrifying. Pathetic. Unbelievably pathetic." He said. 

"Is that everyone?" Coach asked before Stiles ran up, panting heavily before collapsing onto the ground, "Yup, that's everyone." Coach said. Stiles laid on the ground as Scott and Sawyer walked up to him, grabbing his arms to help him up. 

"We got ya." Scott said as they pulled Stiles up, "Who came in first?" Stiles asked and they nodded at Liam who was doing push ups. "He isn't human! What is he? Like, a Werecheetah? Does that even exist? Is that a thing?" Stiles asked, still dramatically breathing heavily, "I think he's just good." Sawyer said. 

"I'm gonna puke. Take me somewhere." Stiles said, making them nod slightly, "Ah- Okay." Sawyer mumbled as they pulled Stiles off to the side. 

A little while later all the players were lined up to take shots at the goal. Stiles stepped up and went to scoop up a ball but struggled until he just picked up a ball and put it in the net of his stick. He stepped forward before taking a shot, only for the ball to go straight into the goalie's stick, without the goalie even having to move much. 

The guys in line all laughed, while Sawyer sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. Stiles went to walk over to where Scott and Sawyer stood, further back in the line, giving Liam a dirty look in the process as the younger boy looked at him in amusement. 

Liam stepped up and scooped up a ball with ease, "Maybe he's only good in goal. You know, just totally useless on the rest of the field." Stiles said and Scott and Sawyer nodded slightly. Liam took a step forward before launching the ball, the ball going right past the goalie into the goal. 

"Yes!" Coach yelled as Liam smiled to himself before making it to the back of the line, "Maybe he's just perfect at everything." Sawyer said in annoyance and Stiles nodded. "I hate him." Stiles said and Scott shook his head slightly, "You don't have to hate him. The team needs new players." Scott said, making the twins raise their eyebrows. 

"What about a new team captain?" They both asked, making Scott look at them for a moment before stepping up. He picked up a ball before stepping forward and launching it. But instead of it going into goal, it hit the pole of the goal. "Nice, McCall!" Garrett said, making Stiles glance at him, Hey, Garrett... Shut up!" Stiles and Sawyee both said as some guys laughed. 

Sawyer stepped up and picked up a ball before closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. The moment she opened her eyes, she stepped forward, launching the ball. Everyone watched the ball go right past the goalie and into the net, "Yes! That's what I'm talking about!" Coach yelled as Sawyer sighed in relief before looking at her brother. 

"At least only one twin is embarrassing themselves." She said, making Stiles look at her offended. 

For the next five or so minutes Liam made every single goal and Stiles and Scott on the other hand? They seemed to be getting worse and worse the more they went up. Sawyer was doing pretty good, she was making almost every shot with the goalie only catching a few of them. 

"Okay, what the hell is happening? Why am I being the only decent player between the three of us? Dude, what is going on with you?" Sawyer asked as Scott walked up to her and Stiles before sighing. "I don't know, I'm having a really off-day." Scott said, making Stiles squint at him, "Off-day? You were dying out there! I feel actual physical pain watching you." Stiles said and Sawyer nodded in agreement while Scott looked at him offended. 

"I didn't see you make any shots..." Scott said and Stiles nodded, "Yes, that's because I'm terrible, though, Scott! You- you are the Alpha." Stiles said. "Not on the field. I'm a human on the field." Scott said and Sawyer raised her eyebrows, "Well, human- you is kind of sucking at the moment. So, do you think there is any way you can use just, like, a little tiny bit of wolf power?" She asked. 

"It's cheating..." Scott said and Stiles made a dramatic gesture, "I know it is! It's just, I hate seeing this little freshman come in and steal all your glory after you worked your tushie off! I hate it!" Stiles said and Scott shook his head. "He's not going to steal all the glory." Scott said before they looked back at Liam made another shot and people cheered for him. 

"Are you sure about that?" Sawyer asked, looking over at Scott as he stared at Liam before his eyes flashed red. 

Coach blew his whistle, making all the players run over to him, "McCall and Stilinski, grab the long sticks! You're covering goal for two-on-ones." Coach said and they nodded while grabbing different sticks while everyone else lined up. 

The first few guys who went up didn't even get close to passing Scott and Stiles, making the two chest bump only for Stiles to fall on the ground. Sawyer stepped up and picked up a ball before looking at her brother and best friend, "Scott!" She called out, making him look at her. "Give me a challenge." She said and he smiled slightly before he quickly flashed his red eyes, making her smile as she listened to the whispers she heard. 

Coach blew the whistle and she instantly ran forward. She easily got past her brother, before running to where Scott stood. She focused on him for a moment before he tried to block her but she immediately moved around him, like she knew what he was going to do, before tossing the ball into the goal. 

People cheered as she smiled to herself before she took the helmet off and turned around. "How did you know what I was gonna do?" Scott asked, taking his helmet off as she walked over to him and Stiles, "You haven't figured out how to block me yet." Sawyer said as she poked his forehead while Stiles made a face. 

"Forgot you can hear people's thoughts." He said and she chuckled before walking back over to the line as Liam stepped up making Scott and Stiles get all serious. Liam scooped up the ball the second Coach blew the whistle and took off running forward. He easily got past Stiles before ducking and spinning around Scott, launching the ball into the goal. 

"That's how you do it! That's how it's done!" Coach yelled before Malia stood up on the bleachers. "That was luck!" She yelled, making everyone look over at her, "Oh, no, Malia. Don't get involved." Stiles mumbled. "Do-over!" Malia yelled and Coach saved her off slightly, "Sweetheart, there are no do-overs- this is a practice." Coach said 

"Ten bucks on Scott and Stiles!" Malia called out, making Coach point at her. "I'll take that action." He said, making her smile proudly at herself while Coach turned back to the players, "Hey! Get back in there, Liam!" 

Liam stepped back up and Coach blew the whistle making him instantly run forward. Yet again he was able to make it past Stiles but instead of making it past Scott, Scott kind of flipped him over his shoulder making Liam fall to the ground with a crack and a groan. 

"Don't move! Don't touch him!" Coach yelled as he and the rest of the team ran over. "I'm okay, Coach. I'm all right." Liam said and tried to get up but fell back down with a groan, "I think it's my leg." He said. "I think we better get him to the nurse." Stiles said as Scott and Sawyer helped Liam up. 

💰  

Melissa turned the corner to see Scott talking to a nurse while holding Anakin's leash while Stiles and Sawyer held Liam up, "Uh, hi, Mom..." Scott said sheepishly. 

A few minutes later Liam was now sitting in a wheelchair, "Don't worry, Liam. We'll take good care of you." Melissa said before wheeling him away leaving Scott, Stiles and Sawyer standing there awkwardly with Anakin.

"I gotta get going. I promised I'd help Malia study." Stiles said and Sawyer sighed and nodded, "Yeah, me too. Lydia wants me to meet up with her somewhere." She said and Scott nodded. "Sure. I want to check on him, anyway." Scott said and the twins nodded before they and Anakin went to walk away but stopped and turned to Scott. 

"Hey... We don't need to say that it wasn't your fault, right?" Stiles asked and Scott shrugged slightly, "I don't know." He said and Stiles sighed. "Scott, if you had used any wolf power, that kid wouldn't be limping- he'd be crawling back to the other half of his body." Sawyer said dramatically, making Scott sigh softly, "If I hadn't been so worried about being captain, he wouldn't be hurt, either." He said and Sawyer patted his shoulder. 

"It's okay to want something for yourself once in a while." She said and Stiles nodded in agreement, "Team captain, Alpha Werewolf... You're still only human." He said before turning and walking away.

💰 

"You know, we have the weirdest dates." Sawyer said as she, Anakin and Lydia walked around the Walcott Hosehold, making Lydia look at her in amusement. "This isn't a date." She said and Sawyer smiled and raised her eyebrows, "It could be." She said.

"We're not having a date at a house where a family got murdered." Lydia said and Sawyer pursed her lips while shrugging slightly, "In this town, pretty sure any place you have a date at, someone's gotten murdered there before." Sawyer said, making Lydia chuckle.

"So, what are you feeling? Because I'm definitely feeling something." Sawyer asked as she and Lydia glanced. "I don't know... I just have a feeling that there's something else here." Lydia said and Sawyer nodded slightly, "Yeah, me too..." She said before gently grabbing Lydia's arm when she heard the front door open. 

"Beacon County Sheriff's Department! This is a crime scene! Show yourself!" Someone called out as they slowly walked into the house. "Damn it..." Sawyer sighed before she, Lydia and Anakin turned the corner making Parrish point his gun at them but he lowered it when he noticed it was them.

"I would try to explain it, but... I've never gotten a satisfactory explanation myself." Lydia said and Sawyer nodded slightly while Parrish put his gun away. "Just an unusual habit of showing up at places where people have been brutally murdered." He said and Sawyer pursed her lips, "Are you saying we have a reputation? Besides the one I already have for being the Sheriff's daughter?" She asked and he shrugged slightly. 

"An unusual one... Maybe you're both psychic?" He said, making Sawyer raise her eyebrows at him, "You believe that stuff?" She asked and he sighed softly. "I'd like to say I don't believe in anything, but I keep an open mind." He said and Sawhee glanced around slightly as the whispers she always heard got louder. "But, if you guys are looking for dead bodies, I think you're a little late." He said as Sawyer closed her eyes for a moment, listening to the whispers. 

"What is it? What do you hear?" Lydia asked, looking at Sawyer before Sawyer opened her eyes and glanced around. She paused slightly as she looked at a wall before handing Anakin's leash to Lydia then walking over to it. She ran her fingers down the wall and furrowed her brows slightly before pushing against the wall making it open. 

"You're not exactly wrong about the Psychic thing." Sawyer mumbled as she looked over at Parrish and Lydia whose eyes widened before they walked over to her. Parrish slowly pushed it open wider as a cool fog flowed out of it. He cautiously pulled his gun and flashlight out and walked in making Lydia, Sawyer and Anakin follow. 

The entire place was freezing cold, making Lydia rub her arms before grabbing Sawyer's hand. Parrish shined his flashlight around until he found a switch and flipped it, making all the lights turn on. That's when they noticed all the hanging bags. 

"I think it's a game locker. Like venison. Hunting's legal in some parts of the state." Parrish said as Sawyer glanced down at Anakin to see him sniffing one of the bads, making her walk over to it. She reached up and pulled down the zipper making her gasp slightly and step back. "I mean- you're not wrong." She asked making them look over at her. "What is it?" Lydia asked and Sawyer shook her head, "This isn't venison." She said. 

Parrish walked over to her, looking up at what she was looking at to see the body of a woman. He instantly zipped it back up while Lydia grabbed Sawyer's arm. Sawyer glanced around for a moment before realization slowly crossed over her face. 

"Parrish...?" Sawyer said slowly, making him look at her, "The report said there was some survivor, right?" She asked and he nodded. "Yeah, a teenager named Sean." He said and she looked at him, "Is he at the hospital?" She asked and he furrowed his brows slightly. "Yeah, why?" He asked as she glanced around for a moment, "Cause I think I know what this is... And I need to tell Scott." 

💰 

Scott turned away from Liam's room as Dr. Geyer walked out, but when he turned around, he saw Sawyer standing there, making him jump slightly. "Are you in my head?" Scott asked and Sawyer nodded, "Yes, but you need to listen to me." She said and Scott glanced around to make sure no one was watching since to others it would look like he was talking to himself. 

"We found a game locker full of dead bodies inside the Walcott's house.The Walcott's are wendigos. Sean is a wendigo." Sawyer said quickly and he just looked at her confused, "What is a wendigo?" He asked and she sighed and gave him a look. 

"Seriously? Have you never read a single book about the supernatural? They're cannibalistic shapeshifters, they literally eat people, Scott. There is one in this hospital right now, and he hasn't eaten in hours so he's really really hungry right now." She said, making his eyes widen. 

"You need to find him before he eats his doctor." Sawyer said and Scott nodded before running down the hall.
