Teen Survivors 💰 S.S.

Weaponized

It was dark when there were a few police cars parked on the side of the road at the woods. There were half a dozen policemen as they were crowding around the area of a turned over car that's lights were blinking and was still smoking a bit. Nearby were two bodies that were covered up, a woman and a little girl. There was a hand sticking out from the older one of them. It had a few scratches on it and some dried up blood on the palm. The skin was paled from death which seemed to be illuminated by the moonlight shining overhead. The pale and scarred hand was being looked at by Noah Stilinski. He went and bent down to put the woman's uncovered hand back into the sheet with a sorrowful expression on his face.

"Sheriff?" one of the deputies said as he came to him. But the man kept his gaze on the body. "Sheriff?" the man tried again and that made him snap his gaze from the bodies.

"Oh, sorry," he apologized. "I guess I'm not used to that yet." Noah sighed as he went to get to his feet. He had been elected as Sheriff of Beacon Hills only two weeks ago so he wasn't used to being referred as that. "What is it?"

"I found some tracks nearby. From the look of them, I think it might be from a coyote."

Noah was brought to see the tracks. "Guess that explains the marks that are on the bodies. It looks like those two had been clawed by an animal."

The man then brought up a small bundle. "And I found this next to them."

He gave it to the Sheriff and he saw that it was a shirt. It looked like it would fit a small girl but it was torn up.

Another deputy then made his way to them. "Sheriff, I managed to ID the bodies. The woman is Evelyn Tate and the girl is her daughter Kiley. Apparently, they and Evelyn's older daughter Malia were seen at the rink for a recital. It looks like the three were heading home."

Noah looked at the torn shirt in his hand. "Any sign of Malia?" he asked.

The two deputies shook their heads. "No sir."

"It looks like she was-" The second man couldn't seem to finish that sentence.

But Noah didn't need him too. He sighed and looked up at the full moon shining through the trees. "Do they have any other family?"

"Evelyn's husband, Henry Tate. He works until the early evening so he's probably home now."

"Do you have an address?"

The second man nodded. "I'll head over there right now."

"No," Noah said gently before the man could make a move. "It's okay. I'll go. Just, wrap up everything here and see that these two get to the morgue at the hospital," he said giving the bodies of the Tates one last look.

Beyond the area, a pair of soft eyes were taking in the scenes. A wolf was looking through the trees as it took in the people, the car...and the bodies. It let out a small whine as it kept its eyes on the two wrapped up bundles before it then ran off. Had it stayed there for five more seconds then it would've seen Noah Stilinski narrow his eyes as he looked over to the trees, to where it had been just a moment before. The wolf ran around the scene until it got to the street. It moved its nostrils to the asphalt as it sniffed around. After it picked up a particular scent, it raised its head to reveal red eyes as it let out a small growl. The wolf then heard some of the officers beginning to move for the street and it quickly pranced off for the trees on the other side. It ran until it was a good distance away before it just stopped and stood there. It started to shift and in a moment was replaced with the naked form of Talia Hale.

She was shaking her head. As she had taken in the area, she had smelled the scent of the Tates, as well as gunpowder, blood, and the scent of a werecoyote that she never believed she would again. Mixed in were the endorphins released from everyone's emotions. With all of that, her mind was able to paint a full picture of what happened. Talia saw the three Tates, Evelyn, Malia and Kiley. They were calm and happy from their nice night together until their car came upon a werecoyote that was lying in wait. She then picked up her guns and opened fire on the car. Evelyn panicked and she moved to try and get away but the sudden and sharp turn sent the car into the trees where it plummeted down into a ravine.
