I finished reading Darkest Powers a while ago, and I just finished The Calling. The Calling belongs to the trilogy Darkness Rising. It is also by Kelley Armstrong, and it's basically a sequel trilogy to Darkest Powers. Except, it has a different main character. So, the character's point of view now comes in with a girl named Maya. You'll learn more once you read it. Anyways, this is my first Darkest Powers fanfic, so enjoy!
Alysin's POV
The blazing sun scorches through my eyelids. Grabbing a book from my desk, I use it as a shield to cover myself from the sun. As soon as my eyes adjust, I put the book down.
I always get the feeling that the sun never really liked me, it keeps on shining its light in my eyes which I find really annoying.
"Alysin!" My mother yelled. "Breakfast is ready!"
"Coming!" I yell back.
'Time to get ready' I thought. I look at myself in the mirror while brushing my teeth, and then got changed. I sighed when I realized that the only thing I could wear were my skinny jeans. Mom always gave me a lecture on how an eight grader shouldn't be wearing skinny pants all the time because of my growing body. But I just can't help it now, it was the day before the beginning of winter break and all my "proper" pants were in the wash except for my shorts which were obviously for the summer!
I do a funny little dance to get my jeans on, and just before I put on my shirt, I check my stomach for a certain mark. Sadly, there was none. I can't help mu excitement! I'm going to be the first female were-wolf ever since my great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandmother passed away! Well, more of murdered really. By the end of a Sliver Scar, which was used by a certain someone! Other than that, she would've still been alive! And-
"Alysin!" My mom yelled again, this time in a more stern and impatient voice.
"Coming!"
Just before I walked out of my room, I remembered something. My head turns to set a far way gaze at a single picture that lays on my table. My friend, Kimmy, gave it to me after doing some research on my family. Taking slow steps towards the picture, I can already make out dark hair hanging over a teen boy's face, and shiny green eyes.
"His name is Derek. Derek Souza. Turns out he's your older brother." Kimmy said, last month. "He also has...or had, brothers. Three of them I think, but I couldn't find out what happened to them."
Kimmy had always been fond of my family's history. She was even at it ever since she found out about my name! Something about it being spelled unusual or something. So after I told her that we were a family full of were-wolves, she totally went berserk and her hacking/stalking skills went into out of control! As I lift up the picture I remember my first reaction when Kimmy told me about her findings.
"Kimmy! You're such a stalker!"
I tried to look like I was disappointed in her for spying on people, but inside I was actually kind of glad. I always thought that I was an only child, and dreamed of having an older brother of sister! Well, that was after, Alexa died. Alexa's my twin sister, she died during a freak car accident on our way back from the grocery store. Painful memories washed over me like a waterfall, and suddenly, the picture of my older brother wasn't comforting anymore. Oh well, he wasn't smiling in it anyways.
Judging by the looks of the sky outside my window, I should probably be heading down for breakfast now.
"Well, goodbye to you Derek Souza! Or, whatever!" I say and toss the picture onto the ground before exiting my room. He probably wouldn't be happy if we met anyway.
