Change

*** Unknown Location ***

"Ughh.. where am I?" Waking up Mike looked groggy at his surroundings. He could feel he was laying down on a wooden floor. He saw that he was in an house. Not a normal house, no. This is a burned down house. You could still smell the smoke coming off the walls.

"So you are finally awake" A man's voice said from his right. Looking to his right he saw a man in his twenties with short black hair, a short beard and wearing jeans, white shirt and a black leather jacket sitting on a chair with his arm crossed glaring at me.

"Wa.. Who are you? Where am I?" Mike asked shocked. He is fully awake now. The last thing he remembered was fleeing from that beast. And now he wakes up to find himself in a unfamiliar place, with no idea how he got here and what happened.

"I found you in the woods, lying on the ground, so i brought you here" The man grunted. Then he stood up and walked out of the room. "Now follow me" the man said. Clearly expecting him to follow his order.

Having no idea what's going on, Mike was considering his options. He clearly woke up in a unfamiliar place. That man said he found him lying in the woods. So does that mean he saved him? Why didn't he bring him too a hospital? He's clearly wounded... "Wait.. what's going on?! Where are my wounds?!" Mike suddenly shouts.

Standing up he checked his body for any wounds. His leg is normal and it doesn't even hurt anymore. And his shoulder... He felt an intense pain there before he blacked out. There is nothing there, not even a scar.

Looking towards the door where the man left. Mike made a decision. He hadn't given him any reason to distrust him. It also looks that he knows what is going on with him. Otherwise he would be in a hospital and not here. Decision made, Mike walked towards the door and came upon a hallway. Turning right, the same direction that man took, he followed the hallway to the end and saw stairs leading down. Going down the stairs he looked around. This whole house is burned down. Does he live here? Arriving downstairs.

Mike saw him standing there with his arms crossed and giving him a hard stare. "What is your name kid?" The man asked.

Standing across the man, Mike folded his arms the same way he was doing. "Name's Mikeal Stilinski, what's your name?" Mike asked.

"Derek Hale" Said the man now named Derek. Wait? Derek Hale.. no way.. Mike eyes widened a bit before returning to normal.

"So this is the Hale house huh.." Mike said to himself. He looks around and finally understands why it looks the way it is. Six years prior, this house was burned down and he heard Derek's whole family died. "Now, can you finally explain what happened to me?" Asked Mike. Wanting to know what was going on and what changed about him. He could feel something, but he wasn't sure what it was.

"I will be blunt with you kid. You are no longer human. You are a werewolf now." Derek said with a no nonsense tone. The full moon is coming at the end of the week. If the kid doesn't understand that everything has changed, he will have a problem at his hands.

"Waah, how is that possib-.." Mike begins to say. But Derek interrupted him and his eyes changed to a steel blue color. "Listen kid, now that you are a werewolf everything has changed. For you to turn into a wolf, a Alpha needed to bite or scratch you deep enough." Derek says in a serious voice. "Now that you have been gifted the bite, it's important to understand that with every full moon, you will change. Inexperienced werewolves are at the mercy of the full moon. Under it's sway, they lose control and their homicidal tendencies increase." Mike narrowed his eyes at that.

"So you are saying that there is a chance that I will go on a murder spree" Mike said with gritted teeth and getting angry, he didn't asked for this. His breathing became heavier. His vision was flashing between his normal vision and a sort of infra red. Looking at his hands he saw that claws were sprouting, replacing his nails. He could also feel changes happening to his face.

Grrowll-

Hearing growls Mike looked up to Derek, and saw that just like him he has changed. His eyes turned into a glowing steel blue color, his sideburn grew and covered most the sides of the face, his face became more pronounced with fangs in his mouth. Also claws were there instead of his nails.

"Control your self! Your force of will or intense pain can control your change." Derek said. Hearing what Derek said, Mike forced himself to make a fist and forced his claws to pierce the palms of his hand. Because of the pain, he slowly felt the changes receding. Looking at his palms, he saw the cuts he made with his claws slowly healing, and in a minute the cuts were gone.

Panting slightly Mike looked at Derek "huff.. huff.. is it always like that?" He asked Derek. While he changed everything was heightened. He could feel his senses increasing and felt overwhelming strength flowing through his body. It was a very primal feeling.

"First time changing always feel overwhelming. Especially for bitten wolves. You will get used to the increase in heightened senses and strength and agility. I will warn you though, don't let these new power control you. Power without control, will just turn you into a beast operating on instinct." Derek said with a serious look on his face. Mike took those words to his heart. He didn't want to become a beast just operating on instinct. Mike looked at Derek and asked "Why are you helping me?" Although he was thankful Derek was helping him, he doesn't understand why he is doing it.

Looking at Derek you could see his face hardening. He looked at Mike and said "Although you are just a newborn pup. The Alpha that bit you will come looking for you. Now that you are still alive he or she will either wants you to join it's pack, or it will be finishing his or her job and try too kill you."

Hearing what Derek said Mike face became gloomy. "Why does he want me to join his pack?" He couldn't understand why he'd would want too. He took a stone and smashed it right into the Alpha's face. If he was the Alpha he would kil him right of the bat.

"Like wolves, werewolves are pack oriented. The larger the pack the stronger the Alpha and his pack become." Derek said while walking around the house. "There are three types of werewolves. The Omega is the lone wolf type. Existing without a pack and Alpha. They are considered weaker because they are not part of a pack. Then we have The Beta, they are members of a pack, because of this association they are considered stronger then the Omega. Then there is the Alpha, the Alpha is a leader of a pack of werewolves. It's the strongest, most powerful and so far the most lethal variety of werewolves. And only an Alpha bite can turn someone." Derek said while looking me in the eyes. "I have my own reason for helping you and i won't share them. But know that I don't intend to cause you any harm."

"If you have any questions, come find me. Now you have to go home, it's almost light outside." Derek said while walking back upstairs. Just as he was reaching the top he suddenly stopped and looked back. "That's right, while you are in town don't attract unwanted attention to yourself. There are more than just wolves prowling around" finishing what he had to say he disappeared upstairs.

With a lot on his mind, Mike walked out of the house. Looking up into the sky, he saw that morning light was beginning to show. He needs to hurry up and head home before his dad woke up. Hopefully Stiles covered for him.

Walking through the woods, Mike was thinking about everything he had just learned. Who knew that werewolves existed. And if Derek last words were anything to go by it wasn't just werewolves who were real. Everything he knew about this world was a lie. There existed a supernatural community underneath the lives of the common people.

Stopping for a moment he took a deep breath. There is no use thinking about it right now. What he had to do now was, testing his new powers and improving his control while

transforming. Looking at his hands he tried to will his claws to come forth. But nothing happened...

Taking deep breath, he tried again. This time he was imagining he was willing to claw something with his claws. And slowly he saw claws replacing his nails. Excited that it was working, he lost concentration and his claws disappeared. Getting an idea how it works he tried again. Immediately his claws came forth. Wanting to test them out, he walked towards a tree and slashed at it. He didn't feel anything. His claws slashed through the trees bark like it was butter. The aftermath were five deep claw marks. If this was a human instead a of tree, he knew a normal person wouldn't survive. He would be killed with five new deep cuts on his body. Thinking about that, Mike came to the realization that he is now more deadly than a average person. He made a decision that he will use his powers in a responsible manner.

Now wanting to test his senses, Mike sat down on the forest floor in a lotus position. Having read many novels and stories. Mike tried to become one with nature. He took a deep breath and began listening to the sounds in the forest. In the beginning he heard nothing but his own breathing, but slowly he began to hear more. First he heard birds chirping. And the sounds of nature like the wind that flew by and a creek with flowing water. And to his right, a distance away, he could hear a beating sound. Concentrating on the sound, he came to the realization it was a beating heart of an animal.

Opening his eyes he looked at the direction of the sound, but he saw nothing. Amazed at his own sense of hearing, he couldn't help but grin. Closing his eyes again Mike began to smell his surroundings.

At first he only smelled himself. A overwhelming scent of blood was clinging to him. It was probably his own blood that he smelled. Trying ignore the bloody stench, he was trying to discern the difference between the different scents he was smelling. First he identified the earth. The earthen scent was all around him. He could also smell the grass and trees. Enjoying the scent of nature around him he sat still for a couple of minutes.

Opening his eyes, he stood up. It was time to practice changing. He first practiced his senses without changing, so that he could get used to the extra stimuli he would receive when he changed.

Closing his eyes, he tried calling to his wolf. The first time woke up in the Hale house, he could feel his wolf. It was like some sort of instinct. That was also the reason he didn't immediately distrust Derek the moment he saw him. It was like his wolf was telling him that he was not a bad person or something.

He could immediately feel the change. The air around him also became different. Sharper or more primal perhaps? Opening his eyes, his vision was once again in infra red. He could hear en smell better and he had the urge to just run around the woods. Suppressing the urge to just run. He sat down and tried to get used to his heightened senses. In the beginning it was overwhelming but slowly he got used to it.

Standing up he took a deep breath and took off in the woods in the direction of his house.

The sensation when he was running was amazing, he felt the wind blow through his clothes and hair, and various new smells flew past him.

*** House Stilinski ***

Finally arriving at his house he slowed down and let his wolf recede. Sneaking to his room proved no problem. He just jumped to his window and sneaked in. He immediately walked to the bathroom to take a shower.

After his shower he walked to the mirror and looked at his reflection. Nothing really changed. Maybe if you take a good look you could see, that he became slightly fitter. But after a whole summer no one would notice.

Letting his wolf come out he could see the changing process.

First were his eyes, he thought his eyes became steel blue like Derek's, but his were yellow. Next time when he saw Derek he will have to ask why his eyes were yellow while his were steel blue.

Next was his face, his face became more pronounced and hair grew on de sides of his face. He could also see fangs growing in his mouth.

And the last change were his claws that replaced his nails and the air around him changed to a more primal one. But if he didn't have his supernatural senses he wouldn't have picked up the slight change. Now that he knows what he looks like while changed, he let his wolf recede.

After putting on his clothes he walked into his bedroom to get ready for school. The first thing he saw was Stiles sitting on his desk chair. His arms were crossed and had a frown on his face. When he saw me come in, he stood up with his arms flying around him in a typical Stiles style. "Where were you?!" Stiles asked with a glare on his face. "I've called you a hundreds of times and all I could get was your voicemail!"

"Sorry bro, I'm fine. My phone was empty" Mike said. He was feeling guilty that he made Stiles worry. He sighed "It's a long story. Also you won't believe me if I just told you the short version. After school I will tell you what happened. But now we have to go to school, otherwise we'll be late." Mike said with a slight apologetic smile.

Looking at Mike's face, Stiles stared hard for a few second before finally nodding. "I told dad you were taking a run when he checked on you this morning. So you better tell me the whole story later, you owe me one after all."

"Thanks bro, you're the best" Mike said with a grin on his face. "By the have you heard from Scott?" He asked with a slightly concerned tone.

"Yeah, he called me when he got home last night, he said you two encountered a herd of deer and said that you were send flying. Are you sure you okay Mike?" Stiles asked in a concerned tone.

"I'm fine Stiles, no worries. Look, I don't have any injuries." Mike said with a grin on his face and giving him thumbs up.

Rolling his eyes Stiles said to get ready for school and that dad was bringing them to school today, because the jeep was still at the preserve.

*** Beacon Hills High ***

Arriving at Beacon Hills High School, Stiles and Mike say goodbye to their dad and exit the car. Waiting for Scott, the two are talking about random things. Seeing Scott arrive and parking his bike next to that prick Jackson, we wait for him to approach us.

"Yo Scott, you doing alright?" Mike said with a smile on his face.

"Hey Mike, yeah I'm fine. How about you? You took a nasty fall last night." Scott said with concern in his eyes. Thinking about yesterday he couldn't help but worry for Mike. He saw him fly 4 meters away, right in the middle of the herd. It's a wonder nothing happened, it could've ended up much worse.

"It's fine, I'm okay. Luckily nothing happened" Mike said with a forced smile. "What about you? We lost each other when that herd flew past us"

"Yeah, you wouldn't believe what happened. When that herd past by I got knocked down the hill, and lost my inhaler, I started looking for it but didn't find it. What I did found was the other half of the body" Scott said with a slight smile. But then it faded. "Although I found the body, I also got bit by something"

"No way! You found the body?" Stiles said in disbelief.

"What? You got bit? By what?" Mike said in a serious tone. He was getting a bad feeling.

"Yeah I'm serious. I found the body" Scott said to Stiles "I don't know what bit me. But I think it was a wolf, cause I heard a wolf howling that night" Scott said to Mike.

Hearing Scott say he got bit by a wolf, Mike heart sunk into his stomach. Could it be that Scott also turned into a werewolf? Although he couldn't be sure it's best to keep an eye on him.

"No way, there are currently zero sightings of wolves in California for the last 60 years." Stiles said in a matter of fact tone.

"Hmm, well lets head to class. Otherwise were going to be late" Mike said beginning to walk towards the classroom, while thinking of a way to keep an eye on Scott.
