Hello, readers. This is the collab story sequal to Hunting the Truth by myself and pokemonrul432. This continues almost right where we left off. If you haven't read the first story, I have tried to make it possible to just be able to jump into this one. I also hope that you think this story is a bit more neat and orderly than my previous chapters. Please let me know what you think. This has no beta.

Disclaimer: pokemon and I own not a single thing but the OC's. I will be writing from Aideen's perspective, and pokemon will be doing Justin's.

Killing the Past

My silver blade gleamed in the moonlight coming through the window. In a swift motion, I brought it down on my target, listening to the satisfying squish of the blood leaving the meat. I cut of a chunk of it and put it in my mouth, swallowing it. I smiled at my fellow hunter, Chris Argent, who sat across from me. I loved it when he made pork for dinner!

My best friend, and now adoptive sister, Allison sat next to me. My father, being the drunk he is, signed custody papers for me to stay with the Argents, a family of werewolf hunters. My family had been hunters as well before a werewolf came and killed my little sister out of revenge of his family's death that was actually caused by Kate Argent, the now dead sister of Chris. After that, my mother left and my father took comfort in vodka.

I finished cleaning off my plate just before Mrs. Argent brought out dessert, a cake that my boyfriend's mother had made for us. You see, this was my 'welcome to the family' party. I was now officially under Argent custody, though I had chosen to remain with my maiden name of O'Connor.

I grinned as I served myself a rather large piece of the red velvet. The slice contained my name from the writing that had been on top that said," Congrats, Aideen!" I smiled at the little heart that dotted the "I" of my name. Mrs. Topain loved me to death, and I knew she was happy I was dating her son.

Speaking of the Devil, someone was knocking at the door. I smiled, knowing it was Justin and I went to answer the door. When I did, I was greeted with his amazing smile and fiery red hair. He had dressed in dark jeans and a green button down shirt, trying to look a bit nicer. He had come to take me to the movies for the night. Of course, I doubted I would even end up knowing the plot, if you know what I mean.

I felt someone behind me and I saw Chris out of the corner of my eye. I knew he wasn't thrilled with the idea of my dating a werewolf, but for my sake, he was dealing. He stuck his hand out for Justin to take, which he did politely. "I'll take good care of her, Mr. Argent," Justin said.

Chris nodded sternly. "Oh, I know you will. Otherwise, my crossbow and I need a little target practice." I smacked Chris' shoulder gently. He ignored me and continued to stare down Justin with that stony-eyed look of his. Justin nodded, understanding that he wasn't joking before offering me his arm. I took it and hollered to Allison and her mom that I loved them. Then, he and I broke away to the car.

I felt light and happy around him. I knew that I loved him with all my heart and wanted to be with him forever. Still, when I thought back to a few days ago, I remember I had been furious with him. The night Kate died and Derek became the alpha, we had celebrated with a night of passion. When we had woken in each other's arms, he had told me that he had kept a secret from me. When I asked what it was, and he told me that he knew who killed my sister, I felt betrayed and hurt, but I hadn't been that mad...

"What the hell, you son of a-"

"Aideen, I'm sorry, but it was my cousin! He's family. He didn't tell me until after he did it." Justin pleaded, holding his hands up in defence. I had drawn my knives.

"You knew, and you never told me? How could you!"

"I did because I love you! I thought your family killed my father when they didn't, and I still loved you. Don't you still love me?"

"Of course I do, you freakin' idiot! I'm just extremely pissed at you!" To prove what I said was true, I kissed him, before punching him in the nose. It cracked under impact, but he was a werewolf so it healed before he could say "ow."

"Ok, maybe I deserved that..."

Fine, maybe I had been a bit more angry than I originally thought. I laughed to myself at the memory. Justin had came to my house the next night, bringing me flowers and kisses. He didn't leave until dawn. As you can see, we patched things up.

We held hands in the car wordlessly until we reached the local theater. He came and got me from the car, carrying my bridal style. I giggled as he took me to the ticket booth. He flung me over his shoulder so he could pull out his wallet and pay. I beat playfully on his back while he placed me into a seat in the nearly bare theater, chuckling deep in his chest. I landed less than gracefully, but I just crossed my legs and pretended to look dignified. Justin rolled his eyes before sitting down.

"What are we even watching?" I asked, truly not knowing. Justin looked at the tickets to make sure.

"Final Destination Two-hundred," he joked. I flicked his nose, and he shook it off.

"Really, Justin? Scary movie? Our life is a horror flick. Don't you ever take a break from it?" Before he could answer, I silenced his lips with mine. I wanted nothing but him, and he knew it.

"I... love... you," he said between breaths and kisses. I pulled myself from my seat and onto his lap, pressing my leg against his. Then, I ran my fingers through his hair, the tips of my nails caressing his skin. I felt him whimper in pleasure under me.

"I love you, too Justin. With all I have left in me." We grinned like mad at each other before, settling down and enjoying a bit of the movie. Some chick was running for her life and blah, blah,blah. they all were going to die in the end anyway. Somehow, their screams reminded me of someone I hadn't heard that much about recently. I didn't want to bring his name up and ruin the moment with my boyfriend.

Eventually, I had to use the ladies room. Justin said he would go get some snacks while I was there. I went inside and freshened up my makeup and lip gloss. When they shimmered the same color as his hair, I smiled and checked my boot for my knife. It was there and read for use if I ever needed it again. At the moment, I didn't think I would. Scott and Allison were happily together with no secrets, for once. I also knew he was no danger to humanity. He's just a little puppy, really.

Derek, on the other hand, I honestly didn't know... I care about him very much, just like a brother. I had that connection with him that I had with no one else. It really wasn't even a romantic thing. He was just my best friend. An alpha best friend who now has the power to make werewolves. I wanted Derek to be safe, but I wouldn't allow him to hurt anyone.

I shoved those thoughts aside and went back outside to meet Justin in the lobby. He was waiting for me when I got there. "I bring gifts of popcorn and soda," he said formally.

I flirtatiously snagged a popcorn with my pointer and thumb and tossed it into the air. As I fell, I opened my mouth wide and positioned myself under it, catching it to eat. I chewed it, smiling with Justin, who opened his mouth as well. I grabbed a few pieces and tossed them into the air. Using his werewolf reflexes, he managed to get them all, catching the last one on his tongue and showing off before swallowing it. I giggled and we wet back to our seats.

We finished out snacks and the movie after some more making out. My normally strait hair was slightly frizzy from the heat of our bodies being so close together in the two seats. When the credits rolled, we let everyone leave before us, just to spend more time together. Holding hands, we made our way to the parking lot. Suddenly, Justin turned around to face me, putting his hands on my hips. I loved it when he touched me, and for some reason, this felt special.

"Aideen O'Connor, I love you more than anything. I would die if it made you happy, or leave you forever if you asked it. The reason I wanted to take you out tonight is because it's the first night you are a permanent member of Beacon Hills. I know that I won't have to follow you back to Texas, though I would have happily if it meant staying with you." Suddenly, he slid down to one knee, and I felt all my breath go away.

He pulled something out of his pocket and hide it in his hand. When he collected his emotions, he reveled it to me. In the flat palm of his hand lay a ring. I picked it up to study it. It was made of three wolves in a pack together. A closer inspection showed how detailed they were. One wolf had ruby eyes and was slightly larger. It stood over the others. The next wolf was howling and had emerald eyes. The last lay down and had yellow topaz jewels for eyes. It was so beautiful and true.

"Look, I know we're juniors, and we're still in high school, but there's no one else for me, Aideen. I love you. Please," he said taking the ring back and holding it for me, "will you marry me? You are my one and only. You're my mate. You're it for me. You're my sun, earth and moon. There is nothing else."

I couldn't even say anything. I was too shocked. I was too happy. Instead of saying something, I just took the ring and placed it on the right finger to show I was his. "I will be Mrs. Aideen Topain. I will always be yours. I love you and I always will." Justin picked me up and spun me around while kissing me for the first time being truly his. He placed me down on the hood of his car, grinning at me the whole time.

Suddenly, he froze up. His face paled and his eyes went as emerald as the wolf that represented him on my engagement ring. Justin turned around and placed himself in front of me, acting as a wall against something. I removed my knife from my boot and held it in my fist.

"Calm down, lovebirds. I'm not going to try anything. I just came to deliver a message." Derek's tall, dark frame came from the shadows. Justin didn't move, though I lowered my blade. No matter what, I trusted Derek. I knew that in his own way, he trusted me as well and would never hurt me.

"What do you want?" Justin wasn't acting very pleasant. I stood behind him, my hands on his shoulders. Derek didn't say anything as he came closer. Justin started a low warning rumbling in his chest. Derek got close enough to pick up my hand, and I let him. He twisted my ring around my finger a few times, trailing his thumb over the wolf with ruby eyes. His own flashed that color.

"Oh, Justin. You got lucky with this one. If I didn't know her better, I would say she's too good to be true." When Derek let my hand go, I stepped out from behind Justin, who seemed to relax a bit. I knew he thought of Derek as a brother, as well.

"Thanks, Derek. How are you?" I asked. I hadn't seen him since the night he became alpha. I think that he got that I was asking if he'd healed fully from what the hunters did to him. I still felt guilty about it, every day and I think I probably will for the rest of my life. Sometimes, I even had nightmares of him writhing in pain as electricity shot through his body. His eyes softened at me.

"I'm fine, Aideen. I just found out some news that you both may find... interesting." I smiled at him, happy that he could still be softer with me.

"What would that be?" Justin just wanted to know what was going on. I squeezed his hand to calm him. He began to twist the ring on my finger to reassure himself.

"I've discovered that there's a new wolf in town. I don't know anything about him other than what pack he belongs to."

"Wonderful. And why should we care about some rouge wolf?" Justin asked.

"Because," Derek sighed, growing weary of Justin's attitude, "he's an alpha. One who has a little power."

"Well you're an alpha now, so why would he come here?" I was starting to worry about the safety of the people.

"I think he's come to collect his pack."

"What pack? There are only three wolves in town other than the new guy," Justin pointed out.

"You see, Justin, because you never mated Laura, or swore allegiance to the Hale pack, that means you still belong to the Topain pack."

"So what? My pack was wiped out. There's no one left," Justin said, pain obvious in his voice. Suddenly, I understood what Derek was trying to say.

"Well, this is a Topain alpha. It would have gone to the next oldest in your family, Justin. It went to your cousin." Justin's eyes became huge, and a murderous rage went through me.

My sister's killer was in town. And he had control over my boyfriend. why does this stuff always happen to me?
