Riley
My name is Riley Gilbert. Older Sister of Elena and Jeremy Gilbert. After our parents death we all handled it differently, Jeremy started to hang out with the wrong crowd and then started to drink and do drugs which we have been trying to make stop.
Elena...well she became more closed off and began to write even more in her diary. Every time she said she was 'fine' I could tell she was lying but I didn't say anything because I knew she was just going to deny it. Then there's me. I threw myself into school work I needed to catch up on and got a job at the grill to help Jenna with bills.
But there is one more thing. Something that my family doesn't know.
I'm a werewolf. In fact im the Alpha of my pack, it's not that big but we are still strong. I know that the Gilbert gene does not contain the werewolf gene so as far as I know I may not be a Gilbert. My pack contains me and my 4 best friends. Quinn Forbes, Santana Pierce, Lucas Fell and Tyler Lockwood. Quinn is Caroline's older sister and she is my beta. Tyler has not triggered the gene yet but we made sure he knows we will be there for him when or if the time comes. We explained everything to him last summer after he saw us change, and ever since then he has been part of the pack. Lucas had moved here to live closer to his uncle after being kicked out by his parents for being gay, but he had left town already for a big news job. When I caught his scent I knew he was one of us, so I introduced myself whilst he was still weary, but eventually he warmed up to us and became a part of the pack. Santana. Oh she was something. Quinn found her bleeding out in the woods after being shot by some amateur hunter and brought her back to my lake house. At first she tried to attack us thinking we were a threat before calming down after we pinned her down. Since we healed her she has stuck with us because she wanted to show how grateful she was after almost dying.
That's my pack. A bunch of crazy teen agers. School started next week and im pretty sure if you weren't dreading it, then there was something wrong with you. Everything would get better for me, my pack and my family.
And I would be right it would get better. Amazing even. But every good thing must come with a bad one.
