Chapter 1:

Animal.

Boxes littered the floor. Everywhere you looked, there they were. A family of 4, consisting of two older brothers and two sisters, messily rummaged through all the things they could, scattering their belongings across the floor. "I can't find my camera annnnywheeeeeere!" The eldest boy popped his head around the corner of the room and smiled at his younger sister. "Adaline, have you tried looking in the boxes that are in your room?" A small girl, jumped up and shot him a toothy grin before running up the stairs. "Thanks Anthony!" He chucked to himself and the youngest girl sighed quietly, taking her box to her own room. "Do I have to go to school tomorrow?" Anthony nodded and followed her up, helping her with her boxes. "You're the youngest Lana." Lana looked at him with her lip poked out. Her straight black hair fell just a little below her chin as she sighed again. "BUT Adaline won't be there this time! I'm going to be lonely!" She dropped her things in her room and fell into her bed. On cue, Adaline came waltzing in, a camera hanging from her neck. "Someone call?" She plopped down beside her younger sister, her long tendrils of black hair, tipped and streaked with lavender, fanned around her. Her midnight black eyes looked into the brown ones of her younger sister with a smile. Her coffee colored skin, showed no imperfections, just like the other 3 in her family. She also had a petite frame, much smaller than the others, that made her seem younger than 20. "Can't you fake your age again? Just this last time?" Adaline shook her head and gave a small giggle. "I can't Lana. Anthony and idiot need help this time." She brushed the hair from her younger sisters face and the other boy, who like his brother, had a strong frame, with brown eyes and strong chin, came walking in. "Call me idiot, ONE MORE TIME!" He flexed and Adaline jumped up, almost instantly tackling him to the ground. "Muscles don't automatically mean you're stronger, Elliot." She giggled and got to her feet, leaving her older brother to lay there in embarrassment. "I'm going to explore. I'll fix my room later." Without giving them a warning, she was gone.

Every step she took, she felt alive. She loved running barefoot through the woods. Adaline took a few pictures, focusing on something in the distance, creating a motion blur that always made her pictures seem, surreal. She ran until she found a burned down house. "Oh, wow, this is.." She trailed off and slowly walked up the stairs of the porch, pushing the front door open. Her nose was flooded with a million different smells, but the smell of burned wood was the strongest, and it intoxicated her, like a cat with catnip. Raising her camera to her eye, she began to take pictures. Capturing the light that streamed through the beams, the burned walls, and the ash covered floor. "Beautiful." Letting the camera hang from her neck, she ran her hands over the ash covered banister as she made her way up the stairs.

Don't go up there. Adaline stopped and narrowed her eyes. She was always the one to follow her instincts, so she pulled herself back down and decided to take another breath. There was something familiar in the air, and she couldn't quite place what it was. Home. Go home, NOW! She turned and left the way she came. Once she was some distance from the house, she looked back at it. A figure stood in the window, and disappeared. "Why didn't I hear you?" She snapped one more picture before running back home.

"ANTHONY!" Adaline ran through the house looking for the eldest, alarming Lana and Elliot. "Adaline? What's got you in a twist?" She found him in the kitchen and her eyes were wide, worrying him a little. "I found a beautiful burned down house in the woods. I think it's haunted." She smiled widely and showed him the pictures she took. He sighed and everyone shook their heads. "You find beauty in the most unusual places. Are you going to try to work for the paper? Lana already applied at the local vet's office. Elliot applied a few auto shops. And I landed a job at the hospital." Adaline rolled her eyes and shook her head. "I'm playing the role of house mother." They all gave her a stern look and she dropped her smile. "Fine, I'll see what I can do." She then made her way to her room, unpacking all the boxes with her name on it. When night fell, she was nearly done. She had one blank wall and a box filled with empty frames. Lana walked in with a smile. "New memory wall?" Adaline nodded and put an arm around her sister. "We have to make the most of this town Lana bear. No more mistakes." They silently promised and Adaline stretched. "I'm going to sleep. I'll take you to school tomorrow." Lana hugged her sister tightly. "I won't make any more mistakes. I know you hate moving." She walked away silently and Adaline laid back in her bed, staring at her ceiling. She couldn't help but feel like she was being watched.

*Derek's POV*

I watched her as she entered my home. It wasn't hard to hear the way her heart fluttered in her chest. The smell of cinnamon flooded the broken first floor of the house. "Oh wow, this is.." She stopped and started clicking the button of her camera. I instantly noticed her bare feet, covered in dirt, and ash. I crouched low in the shadows and followed her. There was something different about this small girl that was in my home. "Beautiful." She dropped the camera and started to make her way up the stairs. Instantly stopping, she took a deep breath and I held mine, ready to strike her down. Without another word, she turned and walked away. I ran to my window and watched as she turned, and stared straight at me. "Why didn't I hear you?" She snapped one more photo before walking away. Those black eyes pierced me.

I waited until night fall, and transformed. I needed to train. I ran over invisible traps and weaved in and out of trees, jumping off of the ones that were sturdy enough to hold me. When I caught the scent of blood, I stopped in my tracks and looked around. I held my nose in the air and took in a deep breath, before following it at a fast pace. I heard the leaves crunching and saw another wolf, crouched over the body of a deer, still alive, and moving. I let out a low growl and it turned, facing me. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON MY PROPERTY?" I didn't like the fact that I could never have privacy. It looked at me, its head turned to the side, confused. I growled again and waited for a reply. Soon, another joined in, and another, and another. The last to show up had different colored fur. It was a black with, white? That didn't catch my attention, it was its eyes. Its violet eyes that stared at me, holding me in place. The biggest in the pack growled at me, protecting the other two, while the other crouched low. It advanced towards me and I began to change more. But before he could get too close, the violet eyed she wolf, stepped in front of him. "Home." She kept eye contact with me, and I wanted to attack. I could hear her heart beat too quickly in her chest, as the others retreated. When I could no longer hear their footsteps, she began to back away slowly. "Sorry, she doesn't know better yet. We won't trespass again." And before I could blink, she was gone. I needed to know who they were, and what they were doing in Beacon Hills.

I waited for Scott and that idiot Stiles outside of the school. That's when I caught that familiar scent. I looked around and spotted nothing. When the school emptied out, I saw him walk straight for me. "We have a problem." Scott shot me a confused look and I fought the urge to punch him in the face. "There are 4 more wolves here." He nodded his head and that when I saw Stiles talking to a girl, a little too animatedly. "I know. She found me first. She didn't know there were others." Her head instantly turned to me and then glanced back. That girl from before, the one that invaded my home, came strolling up to them, a smile on her face and camera in her hand. Stiles brought them both to me. "Lana, this is Derek. Derek this is Lana, and…?" He stopped and looked at the girl. "Adaline." She sniffed my way and I gripped my fists. "Are you the ones that invaded my property?" Lana's eyes went wide and Adaline tilted her head. "You're the one that scared her." She brought the camera to her face and clicked a picture of me. Looking down she smiled and tilted it towards her sister. "We didn't know there were others in this town." Lana looked at me and bared her canines. "Anthony wants to meet you." They suddenly became serious and I shook my head. "I work alone girls. I don't need your pack." Adaline gave Lana a look and she walked off with Stiles and Scott. "Don't be mistaken Derek. We have no interest in having you join our family. We just want permission to hunt on your land. Lana isn't controlled yet. This is our 5th move. We can't have her killing another innocent." Her eyes flashed violet and her smile grew a little more sinister. "We're animals after all right? So let us hunt." She took a few steps back. "We'll be visiting soon." Adaline turned and took her sisters arm, leading her to the car. What was I going to get myself into?

*Sorry for the short chapter. I didn't want to have it too long. This was pretty much the dream I had.. =) Please review. I hope you enjoyed.
