Chapter Eight
🐺 Lunatic 🐺

Under the light of an almost full moon, Scott followed Stiles and Sawyer down a dark path through the woods, "Where are we going?" Scott asked. "You'll see." Stiles said, giving him a completely vague answer. 

"Cause I really shouldn't be out here. My mom is in a constant state of freak-out from what happened at the school." Scott said and Sawyer raised her eyebrows. "Well, your mom isn't the Sheriff, okay? There's no comparison, trust me." Sawyer said as she glanced back at him. 

"Can you at least tell me what we're doing out here?" Scott asked and Stiles turned to him, "When your best friend gets dumped-" Stiles said and Scott cut him off. "I didn't get dumped. We're taking a break." Scott said and Sawyer rolled her eyes, "Well when your best friend gets told by their girlfriend that they're taking a break, you get them drunk." She said, pulling out the bottle of Jack Daniels. 

After a while, the once full bottle of Jack is now half empty. No telling how much time has passed, but long enough for Stiles to have gotten completely wasted and Sawyer to get buzzed. The three friends keep warm around a steel trash can with a fire blazing inside. "Dude, she's one girl. There are plenty more girls in the sea." Stiles slurred, making his sister squint slightly. 

"Fish in the sea." Sawyer said, making Stiles look at her confused. "Fish? Why you talking about fish? I'm talking about girls. I love girls. I love 'em. Hey! Does that make me a lesbian too?" Stiles asked and Sawyer nodded, "Yes." She said, making Stiles smile. 

"Wait- What was I talking about?" Stiles asked then noticed Scott's expression, "You don't look happy. Drink." Stiles said, holding up the bottle. "I don't want anymore." He said, "You're not drunk?" Sawyer asked and Scott shook his head slightly. 

"I'm not anything." Scott says as he stares into the fire, the glow from the flames flickering over his face. "Scott McCall has finally become emo. I have so much music to show you." Sawyer said, before taking a drink. 

"Am I drunk?" Stiles asked and Sawyer chuckled and patted her brother's head, "You're wasted." She said, making him cheer and hold his hand out for a fist bump. 

"Come on, dude. I know it feels bad. I know it hurts. I know....Well, I don't know. But I know this- I know that as much as being broken up hurts, being alone is way worse..." Stiles said, making Sawyer furrowed her brow, "I know I'm not as drunk as you, but what did you just say?" She asked and Stiles chuckled. "That didn't make any sense. I need a drink." Stiles said and went to grab the bottle but a grown man grabbed the bottle. 

"Well, look at the three little bitches getting their drink on." The man, Reddick said, "Give it back." Scott said, making Reddick raise his eyebrows. "What's that, little man?" He asked, "I think he wants a drink." Unger, Reddick's buddy said, making Reddick chuckle. 

"I want the bottle." Scott said and Sawyer started to sober up slightly, "Scott, maybe we should just go..." She said, obviously uncomfortable. "You brought me here to get me drunk. I'm not drunk yet." Scott said, making Reddick chuckle before taking a drink as Scott slowly stood up. 

"Give me the bottle." Scott said and Reddick just looked at him in amusement before Scott's eyes started to glow making his smile fall. "Give me the bottle of Jack." Scott demanded, his voice deepening as his claws started to grow from his fingers making the twins' eyes widen, "Scott?" 

Obviously scared, Reddick started to hold the bottle out before Scott grabbed it and threw it at a tree. 

A couple minutes later, the three teens walked back over to the jeep, Stiles still drunk and Sawyer still buzzed but both of them more sober than before. "Please tell me that was because of the breakup." Stiles said and Sawyer nodded slightly, "Or better yet, because tomorrow's the full moon." She said as they walked up to the jeep. 

Scott didn't say anything, just opened the passenger side door, waiting for Stiles and Sawyer to walk over. "Going home now. Yeah?" They both said at the same time and Scott nodded making Sawyer climb into the back seat while Stiles basically collapsed in the front. 

🐺

"Oh, Sawyer! Walk with us." Lydia said as she wrapped her arm around Sawyer's arm when Sawyer and Anakin went to walk past her and Allison. "Um- Why?" Sawyer asked, looking incredibly awkward, "Because after everything we went through the other night. You're our friend now." She said and Sawyer almost looked terrified making Allison chuckle. 

"It's weird. Everyone's talking about what happened the other night. And nobody knows it was us." Allison said and Lydia hummed, "Thank you for the protection of minors." Lydia said. "Guys, do you think I made the wrong decision?" Allison asked and Lydia looked her up and down briefly, "About that jacket with that dress? Absolutely." Lydia said snidely, making Sawyer raise her eyebrows. "I think she's talking about Scott." She said and Lydia scoffed. 

"Hello? Scott locked us in a classroom and left us for dead. He's lucky we're not pressing charges, or making him pay our therapy bills." Lydia said and Allison looked over at Sawyer, who shrugged slightly, "He's been my best friend since elementary school so I'm biased." She said. 

Allisin was about to say something but all of the sudden Stiles walked past them while grabbing his sister's arm and pulling her down the hall. "What's going on?" Sawyer asked, "Dad's here." Stiles said, making her perk up slightly. 

A few minutes later, they two sat outside the principal's office as the bell ran before their father walked out with another deputy. Stilinski glanced over as the twins stood up before he looked at the other deputy and some man in a suit, "Give me a second, please." He said before walking over to his kids. 

"Don't you guys have a test to get to?" He asked and Sawyer raised her eyebrows, "What's going on? Did you find Derek yet?" She asked and Stilinski sighed and shook his head. "We're working on it. Go take your test." Stilinski said but they didn't listen right away, "Dad, listen..." Stiles started to say. "Go." Stilinski said but they didn't move, "This is important. You need to be careful tonight. Especially tonight." Stiles said and Stilinski nodded. 

"Guys, I'm always careful." He said and Sawyer shook her head, "Dad, you've never dealt with this kind of thing before. At least not like this." She said and he nodded. "I know. Which is why I brought in people who have. State Detectives." He said, making them glance over at the group of men.

The man in the suit looked over at Stiles and Sawyer before they looked back at their father. "Go take your tests." Stilinski said and the twins sighed before walking away. 

🐺 

Allison walked into class and sat down as other students filled the room. A couple seconds later, Scott walked in and paused slightly when he saw Allison. She briefly glanced up at him before quickly looking down at her desk. 

"Allison..." Scott said as he walked up to her seat but before he could say anything else, Mr. Harris spoke up as he was passing out test booklets. "Mr. McCall, please take a seat." He said, making Scott sigh softly before going over to a seat in front of Stiles and Sawyer. He glanced back at them and nodded slightly making them nod back. 

"You have forty-five minutes to complete the test. Twenty-five percent of your grade can be earned right now by simply putting your full name on the cover of the blue." Harris said making both Stiles and Sawyer quickly start writing their names. 

"However, as happens every year, two of you will inexplicably fail to put your name on the cover and I'll be left yet again questioning my decision to ever become a teacher." Harris said, making Stiles and Sawyer glance at each other, "So let's get the disappointment over with. Begin." 

Sawyer opened her test and started answering questions until Anakin suddenly got up like he was about to alert. Sawyer furrowed her brows before Scott suddenly shot up and ran out of class. "Mr. McCall!" Harris called out and Sawyer grabbed Anakin's  leash before she and Stiles got up, running after Scott, "Stilinski!" 

"Scott?" Sawyer called out as they ran out to the hallway before noticing Scott's backpack on the ground making them walk over to it. "Scott?" Stiles called out before pulling his phone out to call Scott and a second later they heard Scott's ringtone making them quickly follow it. 

They walked up to the boy's locker room where they could hear water running as Scott's phone stopped ringing. They glanced at each other before slowly and cautiously walking in. They glanced around slightly as they slowly walked towards the showers, before sighing in relief when they saw Scott standing under one of the shower heads. 

Scott turned off the water, breathing heavily as he turned around to look at them. "Guys, I can't-" He said, making their eyes widen, "What's happening? Are you changing?" Stiles asked and Scott shook his head, still breathing heavily. "No. No, I can't breathe." He said, making Sawyer's eyes widened before she quickly opened a small bag attached to Anakin's service dog vest and pulled out an inhaler. 

"Here, use this." She said as she tossed him the inhaler making him look at her confused, "Come on, do it." She said. Scott took a puff of the inhaler before taking a deep breath as his breathing slowly went back to normal. "I was having an asthma attack?" He asked incredulously and Sawyer shook her head, "No, you were having a panic attack." She said and Stiles nodded. 

"But, thinking you were having an asthma attack actually stopped the panic attack. Irony..." He said and Scott furrowed his brows, "How did you know to do that?" He asked and Sawyer sighed. "I've had them my whole life, they're the reason Anakin got promoted from emotional support dog to service dog after a panic attack sent me to the hospital." She said and Stiles nodded slightly. 

"I used to get them too after our mom died. Not fun, huh?" Stiles asked and Scott shook his head slightly, "I looked at her, and it was like someone hit me in the ribs with a hammer." He said and Sawyer nodded slightly. "Yeah. It's called heartbreak- there's about two billion songs written about it." She said and Scott sighed, "I can't stop thinking about her." He said. 

"Well, you could think about this- her dad's a Werewolf Hunter, and you're a Werewolf, so it was bound to become an issue..." He said, chuckling until Scott gave him a look, "That wasn't helpful." He said awkwardly while Sawyer sighed. 

"Scott, you got dumped, it's supposed to suck." Sawyer said and Scott shook his head slightly, "No, that's not it. It was like I could- feel everything in the room- everyone else's emotions." He said and Stiles nodded. 

"It's got to be the full moon. So, we'll lock you up in your room later, just like we planned. That way, the Alpha- who is your boss- can't get to you, either." Stiles said and Scott looked at them, "I think we need to do a lot more than lock me in my room..." He said making Sawyer furrow her brows 

"What? You mean, because if you get out, you'd be caught by Hunters?" She asked and Scott shook his head as he walked towards them, "No... Because if I get out... I think I might kill someone." 

🐺 

The lacrosse team stood around getting ready, Sawyer, who was already in her lacrosse gear and Anakin, sat on one of the benches next to Scott as Coach walked in. "All right, geniuses, listen up!" Coach called out, making everyone move over to the middle of the room while Stiles sat down next to Sawyer. 

"Due to the recent pink-eye epidemic- thank you, Greenberg- the following people have made first line on a probationary basis- emphasis on the word 'probationary'." Coach said, making Stiles and Sawyer glance at each other in excitement, hoping to hear Stiles' name. 

"Rodriguez. Welcome to first line." Coach said as some people clapped, "Taylor, and, uh...Oh, for the love of crap, I can't even read my own writing. What is that, an s?" Coach said, making Stiles' eyes widen slightly as he was nearly falling off his seat. 

"No, no, that's not an 's'. That's a- that's a-that's a 'b'. It's definitely a 'b'." Coach said, making Stiles lose all excitement, "Uh, Rodriguez, Taylor, and, uh... Bilinski #2." Coach said, making Stiles and Sawyer's eyes widen before Stiles shot up, cheering as Sawyer just chuckled. 

"Bilinski!" Coach said, making Stiles look at him, "Yes?" He asked. "Shut up!" Coach said, making some people laugh while Stiles nodded, "Yes, sir." He said, sitting back down. "Stiles..." Scott said as Stiles and Sawyer excitedly fist bumped each other. 

"It's Biles. Call me Biles, or I swear to God, I'll kill you." Stiles said, making Sawyer chuckle, "Another thing- from here on out, immediately, we're switching to co-captains. Congratulations, McCall!" Coach said, making Jackson look at Coach while the twins looked at Scott with wide eyes. 

"What?" Jackson asked as he stepped forward making Coach look at him, "What do you mean, 'what'? Jackson, this takes nothing away from you. This is about combining separate strengths into one unit. This is about taking your unit, McCall's unit... we're making one big unit. McCall, it's you and Jackson now! Everybody else?" Coach said before blowing on his whistle. 

"Asses on the field! Asses on the field!" Coach said, making everyone start walking out the locker room. "Dude, can you believe this? You're a captain, I'm first line. I'm first-freaking-line! Are you not freaking out? I'm freaking out." Stiles said as they walked out. 

"What's the point? It's just a stupid title. And I could practically smell the jealousy in there." Scott said and Sawyer stopped and looked at him, "Wait, you can smell jealousy?" She asked. "Yeah, the full moon's turned everything up to ten." Scott said and Sawyer pursed her lips as she messed with Anakin's leash. 

"Can you pick up on stuff, like, I don't know... desire?" She asked and Scott looked at her confused, "What do you mean, 'desire'?" He asked and she shrugged slightly. "Like, romantic desire?" She said and Scott raised his eyebrows, "Romantic desire?" He asked as she nodded. 

"Yeah, romantic desire! You know adoration, passion, admiration." Sawyer said and Scott glanced down the hall where Lydia was leaning against the wall, talking to a friend. "From Lydia?" Scott asked and Sawyer's eyes widened, "What? No, I didn't say that. I ment in a general, broad sense- can you determine romantic desire?" She asked and Scott gave her a smug look. 

"From Lydia to you?" He asked and Sawyer sighed, "Okay, fine! Yes, from Lydia to me. Look, I just need to know if I have a chance with this girl, okay? I've had a crush on her since I knew I was gay." Sawyer said and Scott raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you just ask her?" He said and Sawyer chuckled.

"Oh, that's a great idea, Scott. Why don't I just go yell it out on the roof top to save myself from utterly crushing humiliation when I find out she probably doesn't even like girls and I ruin the brand new friendship I somehow earned with her by being trapped in school by a killer." She said sarcastically before sighing, "Please, can you just go up and ask her if she likes me or if she even likes girls? See if her heartbeat rises, pheromones come out..." Sawyer said and Scott sighed. 

"Fine." He said before walking away making Sawyer's eyes widen, "Thank you! I love you. I love you. You're my best friend in the whole world!" Sawyer called out as Stiles excitedly shook her arm. 

🐺 

Stiles, Sawyer and Anakin sat on the bench when Scott walked over and sat down next to them. "Hey. What happened? What did she say?" Stiles asked and Scott glanced at him, "What?" He asked and Sawyer raised her eyebrows. 

"What do you mean what? Did you ask her? Did she say anything? Did she say she liked me? Imply she liked me? Say she likes girls?" Sawyer asked and Scott nodded. "Yeah. Yeah, she likes you. In fact, she's totally into you." Scott said, making Sawyer's eyes widen as she turned to her brother, who looked just about as excited for her as she was. 

A little while later, players were lined up as they each took turns trying to get a ball past players, to the goal. "Scott, you okay dude?" Sawyer asked as Scott scooped up a ball, "Look, I know we just got good news and all, but there's still seven hours 'till the full moon, okay?" Stiles said before Coach blew the whistle making Scott run forward. 

He moved towards the goal until two players collided with him, pushing him to the ground. "I guess some people don't appreciate your new status, McCall." Coach laughed as he walked up to Scott, "Who's next? Let's go!" Coach called out as he blew the whistle. 

Scott quickly got back up and grabbed his stick as Sawyer stepped up and went to grab a ball. But before she could, Scott walked back over to the line and stopped her. "That's it, McCall! That's the spirit. You earn it. Earn it, McCall!" Coach yelled as Scott picked up another ball. 

The second the whistle blew, Scott, with glowing eyes, ran forward. He pushed the two players to the ground before running towards goal as Danny moved forward to stop the offensive attack but Scott whips around and shoves his elbow into Danny's helmet, sending him tumbling through the air. 

"Danny!" Someone yelled as everyone ran over to Danny, who was on the ground, blood dripping from his nose. Scott took off his helmet as Stiles and Sawyer walked over to him, "Dude, what the hell are you doing?" Stiles asked. 

"He's twice the size of me." Scott said and Sawyer raised her eyebrows, "Yeah, but everybody likes Danny. Now everybody's gonna hate you." She said and Scott shrugged. "I don't care." He said before walking away, making Sawyer and Stiles glance at each other. 

"Is he okay?" Lydia asked as she ran up to stand next to Jackson, "It looks like he just has a bloody nose-" He said before cutting himself off as he looked at her. "What?" Lydia asked and Jackson nodded slightly, "Your lipstick." He said making her furrow her brows before pulling out a compact mirror to find her lipstick smudged. "Oh, I wonder how that happened?" She said as she fixed her lipstick and Jackson nodded slightly, "Yeah, I wonder." He said. 

Stiles looked over at his sister who was staring at Lydia for a moment with a conflicted look. "Sawyer-" Stiles started to say but Sawyer just quietly walked over to the bench, sitting down next to Anakin and nearly hugging him. 

🐺 

"Scott?" Melissa asked when she heard the front door open, "Stiles." Stiles said as Melissa walked around the corner. "Sawyer." Sawyer said and Melissa raised her eyebrow, "Key!" Melissa said, pointing at the key in Stiles' hand. "Yeah, we had one made, so-" Sawyer said and Melissa nodded slightly, "That doesn't surprise me. It scares me, but it doesn't surprise me." 

Stiles down the duffel bag it had making the chains inside it rattle. Sawyer closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose while Melissa pointed at the bag. "What's that?" Melissa asked and Sawyer sighed, "It's a school project..." She said and Melissa hummed and nodded slightly, "Guys, he's okay, right?" She asked. 

"Who, Scott? Yeah, totally." Stiles said and Melissa shrugged slightly, "He just doesn't talk to me that much anymore. Not like he used to." She said and Sawyer sighed. "He's just had a bit of a rough week... With what happened the other night, Allison breaking up with him. It's a lot." Sawyer said and Melissa nodded, "Yeah. Yeah, I get it. Yeah. Um, okay. Uh, be careful tonight." She said and they nodded and pointed at her while she dug through her bag. 

"You, too." They both said and she glanced up at them, "Full moon." She said, making them look at her in alarm. "What?" They asked, "There's a full moon tonight. You should see how the ER gets- brings out all the nutjobs." She said, making the two teens sigh in relief. 

"You know, it's, um, actually where they came up with the word lunatic." Melissa said and Sawyer hummed awkwardly and nodded, "So that's why that's my nickname." Sawyer said, making Melissa chuckle and pat her shoulder before walking out. 

Stiles and Sawyer glanced at each other before Sawyer picked up the duffel bag and they walked upstairs. They walked into Scott's bedroom and Stiles turned on the light before they jumped when they saw Scott sitting on his chair in the corner.

"Oh, my God! Dude, you scared the hell out of me! Your mom said you weren't home yet." Stiles said and Scott just stared at them blankly, "I came in through the window." He said and Sawyer nodded. "Right. Well, I want you to see what we bought." Sawyer said as she set the bag down before crouching down next to it. 

"I'm fine. I'm just gonna lock the door and go to bed early tonight." Scott said and the twins gave him a nervous look. "You sure about that...? 'Cause you've got this kind of serial killer look... going on in your eyes, and I'm hoping it's the full moon taking effect, 'cause it's really starting to freak me out..." Stiles said and Scott still just stared at them blankly, "I'm fine. You should go now." Scott said and Sawyer sighed.

"Fine, we'll leave. But could you just at least look in the bag and see what we brought? They weren't cheap and we got a lot of weird looks when we got them. Maybe you use it, maybe you don't. How's that?" Sawyer asked and Scott slowly got up and crouched down in front of her before pulling some chains out of the bag. 

"You think I'm gonna let you put these on and chain me up like a dog?" Scott asked and Sawyer shook her head, "Of course not." She said. She quickly grabbed him by his jacket, pulling him over towards the window and grabbing his hand making Stiles quickly shoot out to cuff him to the radiator. 

"What the hell are you doing?!" Scott yelled and Sawyer took a deep breath as she stepped away, "Protecting you from yourself... and giving you some payback... for making out with Lydia." She said. 

🐺 

A little while later, Sawyer and Stiles walked back into Scott's room. "We brought you some water." Stiles said as he held up a dog bowl with Scott's name sharpied on the front of it and poured some water in it before setting it down. "I'm gonna kill you!" Scott yelled, throwing the bowl of water at Stiles as they started to walk out the room and Sawyer let out a frustrated sigh before turning to him. 

"You kissed her, Scott! Okay? You tried to kiss Lydia. That's, like, the one girl that I ever liked that wasn't on TV- You know, the past three hours, I've been trying to convince myself that it's probably just the full moon, you know? He doesn't even know what he's doing, and tomorrow, he'll be totally back to normal. He probably won't even remember what a complete dumbass he's been- a stupid son of a bitch, a freaking unbelievable piece of crap friend." Sawyer ranted. 

"She kissed me." Scott said, making Sawyer stop and look at him, "What?" She asked. "I didn't kiss her, she kissed me." Scott said and Sawyer just stared at him until Stiles gently grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the room. 

"She would have done a lot more, too. You should have seen the way she had her hands all over me. She would have done anything I wanted." Scott said and Sawyer covered her ears as she leaned against the wall before sliding down. "Anything!" Scott yelled as Stiles sat down next to his sister.

"Guys, please let me out. It's the full moon, I swear. You know I wouldn't do any of this on purpose. Please, guys, let me out. It's starting to hurt. It's not like the first time. It's the full moon... it's Allison breaking up with me... I know... that it's not just taking a break. She broke up with me. And it's killing me. I feel completely hopeless." Scott said, making the twins close their eyes, trying not to listen. 

"Just, please- let me out, I can't. No, no, no!" Scott yelled as the moonlight started to come into his room before letting out painful screams making the twins both corner their ears. Sawyer leaned her head on Stiles' shoulder as they listened to Scott's screams before they suddenly stopped. 

"Scott? Are you okay?" Stiles asked and when they didn't hear any kind of response, they both glanced at each other before getting up. "Scott?" Sawyer asked before Stiles opened the door and they looked into the room.

The handcuffs lie twisted and broken and bloody on the floor. Past the bed, a breeze rustles through the open window and Scott is nowhere to be seen. 

"Oh, shit..." 

🐺 

Stiles and Sawyer anxiously sat in the jeep as Stiles drove until they noticed police cars and an ambulance off on the side of the road making Stiles pull over. They quickly got out as EMTs dragged a stretcher, that had a body covered with a sheet, over to the ambulance. 

"Dad? Dad?" The twins called out as they glanced around at all the Deputies, "Has anyone seen our- has anyone seen our dad?" Stiles asked as a Deputy walked over to them before they walked up to the stretcher, looking down at the burned hand hanging off. 

Sawyer grabbed her brother's arm before someone called out their names making them quickly turn around to see their dad. "What are you guys doing here? And where's Anakin?" Stilinski asked and the twins just sighed in relief before they both pulled their father into a hug.
