BHHS LACROSSE FIELD
Scott, Nick and Stiles arrive to the lacrosse field just as Coach Finstock has begun announcing their first task
"Let's go! One-on-one from up top! Nick, you are on goal" Nick nods and catches the stick thrown by the coach.
Coach turns to look at Jackson, who is running onto the field and said
"Jackson-- take a long stick today."
Jackson nods and drops the stick he was holding in favour of the longer one that Coach instructed him to take before running back onto the field as coach said
"Atta boy!"
Jackson takes his place on the field, and when Coach blows his whistle, he scoops up a ball and the team starts the play. The players run around the field, passing the ball to each other and shoulder-checking their opponents as they try to score a goal, with Coach watching with a focused expression as he follows their movements from the side lines while coach said
"That's how you do it, Jackson! That's how you do it!"
Jackson hits one of the players in the back with the blunt end of his stick so he can steal the ball. Coach shoots an annoyed look at one of the other players, #31 and said.
"Greenberg, take a lap!"
Greenberg sets off to run around the field as Coach turns his attention to the lined-up players ready to start their round of one-on-ones. Scott is at the front of the line and gets prepared to start as coach continues to say
"Let's go! Faster, Greenberg! Let's go."
Scott, looking distracted, is brought back to reality when Coach shouts at him
"McCall, what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
Coach points at Jackson, who is waiting for him with his long stick in hand, ready to show him up. However, when Scott clenches his jaw and runs toward him, he's easily tackled by the larger young man and is tossed flat on his back onto the grassy field. Coach wastes no time in starting to mock him as Scott grimaces, both in pain and in embarrassment
"Hey, McCall!"
Over at the line, Stiles winces sympathetically at Scott's bad play, especially once he sees Coach walking over to where Scott is still laying on the ground as coach continues to say
"Hey, McCall!"
Scott lifts his head to see Jackson smirking above him, looking very satisfied by his successful tackle as he said in a mocking tone
"You sure you still want to be first line, McCall?"
Coach finally makes it over to Scott just as Jackson walks away, and Scott quickly jumps to his feet, fixing his gloves and pads as Coach begins berating him for his poor performance
"My-my grandmother can move faster than that-- and she's dead! You think you can move faster than the lifeless corpse of my dead grandmother?"
Scott's anger and frustration have him doubled over, which begins to worry Stiles, who continues to watch from mid-field. Scott clenches his jaw as he responds in a tight voice to Coach Finstock
"Yes, Coach."
Coach, still trying to goad Scott into a more competitive mindset, continues to mock him
"I can't hear you!"
Fortunately for Scott, he is not looking Coach in the eyes, because his irises flash gold as Scott grits his teeth and repeats himself in an irritated tone of voice
"Yes. Coach."
Coach, also irritated, moves so his mouth is just inches from Scott's right ear as he mutters his orders
"Then do it again!"
Scott clenches his jaw again as he sighs and runs back to position while Coach shouts mockingly toward the rest of the players
"McCall's gonna do it again! McCall's gonna do it again!"
Jackson gets back to his position in mid-field as Scott returns to the front of the line-up for one-on-ones; though his eyes are no longer glowing gold, he still looks angry yet determined. After a moment, Coach blows his whistle and says
"Let's go!"
Scott runs full-speed at Jackson, gripping his lacrosse stick hard as he collides with Jackson, his right shoulder hitting Jackson right in the collarbone on the same side. Jackson falls backwards, landing flat on his back in the grass just as Scott had just gone earlier, and clutches his right shoulder in pain.
Stiles, panicked, runs over to Scott to check on him while everyone else is distracted by Jackson and asks
"Scott? Scott, you okay?" Scott's fangs have come out, and his eyes are glowing bright gold again as he desperately tries to keep himself from fully turning. Stiles throws his right arm around Scott's shoulders and uses his left hand to clutch Scott's left arm. Meanwhile, the rest of the players have rushed to check on Jackson, but Coach, kneeling next to the injured player, holds out his hands to instruct them to back up and give Jackson space and says
"Yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"
Off to the side, Scott, panting heavily, whispers to Stiles in a panicked tone of voice
"I can't control it, Stiles! It's happening!"
Stiles eyes widen in alarm when he realizes that Scott's in the middle of a transformation into his Werewolf form and yelps quietly
"What? Right here? Now?"
Stiles looks around, sees that everyone else is distracted by Jackson's injuries, and grabs Scott by the shoulders, continues to say
"Come on, get up."
Stiles pulls Scott to his feet and, still keeping an arm around Scott's shoulders, drags him back to the locker room as he said
"Come on. Come on."
Scott and Stiles pass the bleachers, but are too preoccupied with Scott's current dilemma to notice that Derek is standing behind the stands and off to the side, watching them with a focused expression.
HALE HOUSE
Two women were standing couple of yards away from the house. One middle-aged and other a teen. If Nick was here, he would have surprised to find that it was Beth and her mom.
"So, you felt something odd about this place."
"Clearly, it is a burned house. Why would did that brat bring you here for the date?"
"I told you mom, we were passing by and I could feel the screaming and heat of the burning fire as if I was here."
Beth's mother looked at her worriedly and then walked towards the house. Just before reaching the house, she stopped and knelt down. She extended her hand, touched the soil but pulled back fast.
Beth seeing this asked
"What happened, mom?"
"Well, darling, our kind acts as a balancer for nature but sometimes one of us may turn dark. I don't know how or who lit the hale family house but behind it there was hand of one of kind who turned to dark- A DARK WITCH."
Beth was shocked that hale house fire was orchestrated by someone murdering dozens of people including women and children.
NEXT DAY
BEACON HILLS HIGH SCHOOL (HALLWAY)
Nick just shut the locker when Beth came and said
"Hey."
"Hey." Nick turned to her with a smile.
"I heard what happened yesterday. Scott broke Jackson's shoulder."
"Yeah, poor guy. I don't know if he will play this week's match even."
"I also heard Scott is not playing. Lydia went scary nuts cursing him."
"Don't mind it, he will play. There look let's ask him directly."
Scott, having heard enough, turns back to face Stiles with a grim expression and says
"Curfew because of the body."
Stiles scoffs in exasperation and smacks Scott on the arm to emphasize his point
"Unbelievable. My dad's out looking for a rabid animal, while the jerk-off who actually killed the girl is just hanging out, doing whatever he wants."
"Well, you can't exactly tell your dad the truth about Derek..." Scott replied while Stiles nods his head purposefully as he said
"I can do something."
"What are you to planning now?" Nick asked as he arrived with Beth.
"Nothing." Stiles said but we could clearly see he was lying from his face.
Scott goes to follow after Stiles when he's suddenly distracted by the sound of Lydia's voice and turns to find the source
"This is Allison."
She's down the hallway to Scott's left, where she is introducing Allison to a good-looking male student with a lacrosse-stick in his bookbag, indicating that Lydia is making good on her threat and is purposely doing this while Scott is nearby as a message that he better plays in the upcoming game. The lacrosse player reaches out his right hand to shake Allison's, and the two smiles at each other.
"Hi. Nice to meet you." Lacrosse player said
"She's the new girl. She just moved here." Lydia introduced Allison
"Oh, how do you like it?" Lacrosse player asks
"I like it." Allison replies smiles shyly
Scott, clearly jealous, walks over to them, and when Allison sees him coming, she wraps up their conversation
"It was nice meeting you. See you soon. I'll be at the game."
Nick, Beth and Stiles goes to class seeing that Scott went to meet up with Allison.
