VVHS TROOP HQ, ALBUQUERQUE
"We're gonna miss you, Rey!" Two boys exclaimed as they hugged a tall brunette. Rey laughed and hugged the two back, before swatting them affectionately.
"Alex, Danny, chill." She said. "I'm moving not dying. And I'm pretty sure they have cell service in Lakewood." Rey's hazel-green eyes sparkled with tears as she said this, but she wouldn't cry.
I am Allison Reyes, dammit. Captain of the football team, every girls fantasy, and a badass! I do NOT cry. She thought to herself. But as the two boys hugged her tighter, she let a tear slip. The boys were her best friends, her Troop Mates, and her only real family. Her foster family decided that they didn't want to care for a teenager anymore so she was moving again. Since she was almost eighteen, Rey was going to go back to a group home until her birthday. However, her biological father, Antonio, was released from jail and petitioned for custody. Some twist of fate made them grant it and now she was going all the way to Canada to live with his alcoholic ass.
"Allison." A deep voice boomed. Rey turned around, scowling at the use of her given name. Her troop leader, a man named Mr. Knight, strode towards her. Unconsciously, Rey straightened into attention. Knight was not only her Troop leader, but her JROTC commanding officer as well. Three years of habitual saluting wasn't easy to break.
"Sir, yes sir!" Rey said, echoed by Danny and Alex. She knew without looking that they copied her stance. Mr. Knight smiled warmly.
"At ease, all of you. Just coming in to say good luck, Allison. I've talked to the Troop leader at Lakewood High School, he said that given your outstanding record, he's more than willing to let you into his Troop, even with your... health issues." Rey nodded and smiled, thanking whoever was listening that she was able to finish her senior year with The Troop. Mr. Knight laid a hand on her shoulder. "Allison, I want you to know that if your ever in trouble, you can always call us." He said seriously. Rey hugged him tightly, holding back her tears yet again.
"Here Rey, we got you something." Danny said. Rey pulled away from the hug and took the box from Alex's hands. When she opened it, she gasped.
"You didn't." She said, pulling out the steel knuckle dusters. Alex shrugged before taking them from her and showing her the modifications
"When you put them on and squeeze the lever on the bottom, they become hot. The black button on the side, right here, releases a high pitched frequency when you press it." He shot her a glance. "I don't need to tell you to only press it when necessary. The other end is a kubaton tip. We were going to make them from silver, but steel was a better choice." Rey reverently took them back from him, slipping them on. They fit perfectly and she smiled, knowing why they gave her these instead of a blaster.
We need to find this thing fast" Rey said. It was only her sophomore year with the Troop and she was already hunting one of the most dangerous monsters out there: the Fenri Lycanis. More commonly known as the werewolf. She shined a flashlight at the map in her hand. "We're almost done with this grid, but the moon is rising and tonight's a full moon. After we finish this area, we need to go home." She finished. Suddenly, Rey heard something land behind her, followed by a growl. Alex and Danny yelled and raised there blasters, but Rey panicked and turned around, her fist colliding with the monsters face. Everybody froze, and even the werewolf looked stunned at what just happened.
"Run!" Rey yelled. The three teens booked it through the woods, the wolf chasing after them. Rey led her team into a small cabin that was built for emergencies like this. After bolting the door, Rey slid to the ground, wincing. "We need a new game plan." she said. Alex looked at her before laughing. Danny and Rey stared at him in confusion.
"Sorry," he said between laughs, "But Rey? You just punched a werewolf in the face."
Rey chuckled at the memory, before frowning. That night changed everything. She shook off the memory and grinned at her Troop.
"You guys rock. Like, seriously, thanks." Rey pocketed the knuckles and picked up her bag. "I'm gonna say bye to the monsters real quick, but then I have to leave." She said. The guys nodded, knowing she needed to do this alone, and that there was one monster on particular. Rey walked down the cell block, nodding occasionally to some of the occupants. She stopped in front of one and faced it full on, glaring into the red eyes of the prisoner inside.

Jake ran into the Troop HQ excitedly, almost tripping over his own feet.
"Did you guys hear? We're getting a new member!" He yelled before kissing Cadence on the cheek. Hayley looked up from the blaster she was working on and smiled at her best friend.
"We heard, Jake. We also heard that the new member is a girl, so we now out number you." Kirby perked up at the word 'girl'. "No dating teammates, Kirby."
"He wouldn't have a chance, anyway." Cadence said. "I looked her up, and she's big on playing around." Kirby shrugged.
"I'm okay with that." He said. Cadence smirked at him.
"She's a player, Kirby. But she prefers toys on the other team." Hayley snickered and Kirby looked disappointed.
"You looked her up? How?" Jake asked. Cadence pulled up Troop Grid, showing them a profile. Hayley stared at the picture. When they received their Troop IDs, they were told to make the face that was most natural, and this girl was scowling like somebody ran over her dog.
"Allison Reyes, goes by Rey. She's seventeen years old, starting her senior year, and moving from Albuquerque, New Mexico. She joined the Troop when she was fourteen and quickly made a name for herself. She declined an offer to work for International her junior year. It says she was almost retired her sophomore year, but the release was cancelled. It doesn't say why, though." Cadence turned in her chair. "The rest I got from Facebook." Hayley kept staring at the girl. Allison Reyes had a jawline to die for, naturally golden skin, green/brown eyes, and even though it was just a picture, Hayley could see the pain and anger in those eyes. But beneath that was sadness. More sadness than a teen should ever have. Hayley was startled out of her trance by Mr. Stockley.
"Well done, Cadence. Now, Allison will be moving here a week before school starts. I want you guys to give her a warm Lakewood welcome!" He said with a grin. The teens nodded and went about their daily chores.
