It took the day to drive home. It was night by the time we see the 'Welcome to Beacon Hills' sign pass by. Stiles was mulling over everything he learned over the summer. He was sad to leave Bobby but, he missed his dad. So when he finally pulled into the driveway. He was relieved to be back. He didn't see his dad's car in the driveway. So he used his key and went inside. He wanted to see his dad but he was kinda glad he was alone. He needed to put some things Bobby gave him away. Bobby had given him the supernatural mother lode of tools against the supernatural. He gave him a few guns and knives. As well as holy water and a book with many different protection sigils. So Stiles hid the guns and knives in the back of his closet. And to make sure no one went there he put a line of mountain ash down. He put the books near his computer to read later. He then went to take a shower, because he thought that there's a possibility he could smell like a hunter. And he wasn't ready to tell anyone yet. He would tell them the truth at one point. But now was not the time.

An hour passed before he called his dad to let him know he was home. His dad was still at the station and said he'd see him in the morning. So Stiles texted Scott he was back. And almost immediately his phone rang.

"Yo Scott."

"Stiles you're finally back!" Scott said like an excited puppy.

Stiles laughed, "Yeah, I've been back for like an hour. I was just getting ready for tomorrow." He didn't forget.

"Tomorrow? What do you mean?" Scott asked confused.

"Well seeing as I said I was gonna be away for the 'whole' summer. It would mean summer's over and there's school tomorrow." He was less excited for school. He wanted to hang out with Derek and Scott for a little before he had to go back.

"Oh yeah, I forgot. I can't wait to see you tomorrow then." Scott said laughing a bit.

"Me too Scott." At that moment he heard a noise downstairs. "Ah, Scott I gotta hang up I think my dad's home."

"Okay bye," Scott said as he hung up.

Stiles on instinct picked up a knife that was in his jacket pocket and went to the door and was about to open it when he heard a sound behind him. The only person that still uses his window is Derek. So with practice, he hid his knife and turned around slowly in case he was wrong. But he as always he was right and Derek was standing there giving him an odd look.

"You know I have a front door right?" Derek was still giving him a weird look. Stiles was worried did he see the knife. He should've been more careful. "So are you gonna stare at me all day or are you gonna say something?" Stiles was getting restless.

"You've changed." was all Derek said. Stiles looked down at himself. He didn't see a difference.

"In what way?" He was worried for a second if he smelled like a hunter. What does Hunter even smell like though?

"Physically…" Derek said then paused. "Never mind." What. Physically. Sure he gained a few muscles but not much all he really did was run.

"Ah okay?" There was an awkward silence.

"I see you tomorrow Stiles," Derek said as he left.

That was… weird. But he had school tomorrow. And so he put a few things away and got ready for bed. Tomorrow would be the start of something new.
