Chapter One- Isaac
I know it may sound stupid, or childish, but I wanted an apology from Allison. Erica and Boyd had had an awkward heart to heart with Chris Argent when he had freed them and he even promised not to track them unless they were proven to have killed someone. But me? I got stabbed and shot by his daughter and no one said a word. She was quickly forgiven by Scott and then promptly broke up with him. Meanwhile I was finding out about a new Alpha pack in Beacon Hills. I didn't think an apology is too much to ask for. Just a simple "sorry" would have worked for me.
Scott wasn't taking the break up to easily. He tried not to show it, but each time Lydia mentioned her best friend, you could hear his heart beat faster with sad nerves. He would purposefully avoid her at school and never talked about her unless he had to for various reasons. Stiles hadn't been able to see it, but I could. His eyes always seemed to be rimmed with a light shade of red.
I found myself thinking about all of this as I stood at one side of the room, staring at Derek at the other side. We were outside of the broken down train for our nightly training session. Derek had created what he called our 'game'. He stood on one side of the room while one of us Betas stood at the other. The other three out of me, Erica, Boyd, and Jackson, positioned themselves randomly through the open space. The attacking Beta had to try to fight their way to get to and overwhelm our Alpha. After Derek had been able to explain to Scott about the new pack in town, he had started to come around sometimes. Peter would usually watch from the sidelines to give us fighting tips; every once and a while though, he would get op and become one of Derek's protectors.
Erica growled at me, a warning for me to run before she pounced. I leapt into action, sprinting to my left and away from her. I was headed towards Jackson, who charged at me ferociously. I twisted around him in a lacrosse-like move, only to be tackled by Boyd. I rolled my shoulders as I stood and saw that Derek was smirking. It was the closest thing we had ever gotten to a true smile from him. It only lasted a moment though as he turned to Jackson and said, "You have a visitor again."
The new Beta turned to see Lydia, beautiful as ever in a flowered, soft pink dress. Jackson shifted out of his wolf form and raced to wrap his arms around her. She had been scared lately, feeling as if someone was following her. Peter silently stood up from the stool he was sitting on and went to hide in the train. Lydia was still scared of him since he had attacked and almost killed both her and her boyfriend.
"What's up Lydia?" Jackson asked.
They were much softer towards each other since they got back together. It was unlike anything anyone had seen from them before. "I just wanted to see you," she explained.
He grinned at her again. "We're training."
"I know," Lydia looked into his eyes. "I was just scared again. There have been the weirdest noises at my house lately. I still feel like someone is there."
I stole a glance at Derek. He was a master of pretending not to overhear a conversation, but I knew he was listening. He had told me only a couple of days before that Lydia's fears of being stalked were probably correct. If the Alpha pack was in town then they were most likely looking for the Kanima. Even though Jackson had been saved, they would still be able to track his scent. Since Lydia was with him so often, his scent had rubbed off on her.
"If they can track the smell of the Kanima, why not attack and kill Jackson now?" I had asked when Derek explained to me.
The Alpha took no time in replying. "They're waiting for the perfect time."
I could tell from his face then that it would be better not to ask any more questions about it then. I was pulled out of the memory when Derek began speaking. "It's late," he said, "Why don't you all go home for the night."
We all knew that we had been dismissed. Erica and Boyd gravitated towards each other and walked out hand in hand. Derek slipped into the train. My guess was that he was going to talk to Peter. Jackson walked out with his arm around Lydia. I made another guess that she would be spending the night at his house again. She really was scared. I put my hands in my pockets and directed myself towards the sidewalk. Thankfully, Stiles had convinced his dad to let me stay with them. I was innocent and an orphan with nowhere to go, and Sheriff Stilinski decided to help me as much as possible.
When I reached the house, I entered the front door and made my way to the stairs. Immediately, I knocked on Stiles door to see if he was still awake. It may have been quite late, but it was earlier then Derek normally sent us home. I thought that maybe Stiles would be awake. He would most likely have doing something along the lines of researching to find out about the new Alphas in town. I don't know what I was hoping for at that moment; maybe just a simple conversation about lacrosse practice.
I continued down the hall to what used to be the guest bedroom. I was mine now. It wasn't nearly as welcoming as Stiles's room, but it definitely beat the train. I would never understand how Derek and his uncle stayed there every night. I threw back my blankets, crawled into bed, and curled up into a ball to get warm.
My thoughts strayed in a sleep-induced haze. Only Scott came to mind: the way he was so determined to have a plan to save Jackson at the rave, the fact that he had also cried when he learned to take away a puppy's pain, how hurt he was over the loss of Allison. The last thing I saw in my mind before I fell asleep was when he stood behind Gerard at the fatal lacrosse game a couple of weeks ago, perfectly prepared to fight to save me.
Notes: Thank you so much for reading! I really hope liked it! Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know a couple of things. First of all, I will be writing this from more than one person's point of view. Second, if you didn't notice, it starts a couple of weeks after the season two finally. Third, there will be some ships in the story. I'm sure you noticed Boyd and Erica already. (I'm not sure of their exact ship name, but I personally like Berica.) You'll see what all comes up.
Please, leave comments. The more constructive, the better. Just to let you know again, I am editing it myself, so please forgive any mistakes, and I'll try to update as soon as possible. I really hope you stick with me! (:
