This is my first fanfic so I hope it's decent! The story takes place at the start of Season 2.
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Wolf only Mia.
Chapter 1
Branches sneak out to grab me as I race through the trees. The blood rushing in my ears and the sound of my rapidly beating heart are the only noises that go with me now. My lungs feel like they are going to explode while the gashes covering my face and body throb. This is not how I expected it to happen. A quick escape in the middle of the night held little hope for someone like me, especially on the night of a full moon. I was sure they would catch my scent and drag me back to be dealt with, but that wasn't the case. I managed to cross three state lines before they had any inkling that I was gone. Yet I still live in fear. The fear of being found by him sends chills down my spine and makes me run a little faster. I was deep in the forest by now unsure of what state or town I stumbled into. To me everything is the same and the farther I get away the better it will be.
I had just cast a quick glance behind me to make sure I wasn't being followed when I hit a tree. There was no reaction time to brace myself before I met cold hard ground effectively knocking the wind out of me. As I lay there struggling for air I suddenly become very aware of every bruise and cut that mars my skin. However I get a sinking feeling that this is nothing compared to what they will do to me if they find me. A growl brings me out of my thoughts as I bolt into an upright position. I see a boy no older than myself in an intense fight with what looks to be a homeless man. I feel my heart beat accelerate when I notice their claws, extended teeth, and glowing yellow eyes that can only mean one thing. Werewolves and from the looks of it I'm witnessing an omega and a beta. I realize with a jolt of fear that means an alpha is running around here somewhere and that alone has me scrambling to my feet. This catches the two wolves' attention as both look my way in surprise noticing me for the first time. I feel myself go rigid as my eyes connect with the teenagers. It's in that moment that I regain my ability of movement.
"Wait!" I hear one of them yell behind me as I take off in the opposite direction. I don't think as I let my survival instincts take over. My feet hitting the ground as I pump my arms to push me faster are my only concerns at the moment. Everything else just fades to black as I focus on outrunning the wolves behind me. I know my chances of getting away are slim but that doesn't stop me from letting out a small shriek when a hand grasps my upper arm tightly sending me to the ground. I whip my head back to find the boy from earlier his face back to normal as he looks between me and the omega that is now swinging from a tree. "I'm not going to hurt you." He says calmly offering me his hand, but I refuse to take it. It could be a trick, a mind game he's trying to play with me. I shake my head and quickly crawl to my feet as I look around for a way out. However, the odds are in my favor tonight as the boy is suddenly yanked off his feet by a man larger than him. I take this opportunity to tuck tail and run as I hide behind a nearby tree. I watch as the man and boy hide a few trees down from mine as they argue in hushed whispers. I try to slink into the shadows as much as possible all the while keeping my eye on what's happening in front of me. Hunters and a lot of them; they are circling the omega one standing out in particular.
"Argent," I whisper my eyes widening as the omega is violently shocked into his human form. I can't help but wince for the poor man as I recall 500 watts of raw power sliding through my body weeks earlier.
"Who are you?" One of the Argents, a man in his late thirties with brown hair and ice blue eyes taunts the omega. "What are you doing here?" He demands to know.
"Nothing, nothing at all," The omega sputters looking at the man in fear. I bite my lip in thought actually considering saving the wolf, but even I know he is a lost cause. Once you're in the hands of the Argents there is no coming back.
"You're not from here, are you?" Argent asks curiously looking over the wolf in distaste. "Are you!?" He yells startling the omega.
"No. No I came-I came looking for the alpha. I heard he was here. That's all." A chill runs down my spine at his words as I slowly lift my eyes to the man a few trees down. His eyes are no longer on the scene in front of him, but on me. Even from here I can feel the power that surrounds him and I know without a shadow of a doubt, he's the alpha. I gulp and avert my eyes back to the omega. He's still swinging helplessly at the mercy of the old man who now stands in front of him. Most likely the leader and father Argent.
"Gentleman! Take a look at a rare sight." The old man smiles triumphantly. "You wanna tell me what we've caught?"
"An omega."
"The lone wolf!" He yells out the excitement in his voice making me sick to my stomach. "Possibly kicked out of his own pack or the survivor of a pack hunted down; maybe even murdered and possibly alone by his own choice." He looks back to the omega with a knowing smile. "Certainly not a wise choice," he grins as he pulls a sword from his jacket. "Because as I am about to demonstrate, an omega rarely survives on his own." I can't get my body to react or my eyes to stray from what I know will happen. So I stand and watch in horror as he slices through the omega in one swift move. I whimper covering my mouth with my hand as I start taking slow deliberate steps backwards.
"Please stop," I freeze at the boy's voice. I look over just in time to find him and his alpha advancing towards me.
"Don't even think about it," the deep voice of the alpha has me pausing almost considering obeying him, almost. With a quick prayer to the heavens I spin on my heel and haul ass. I don't even have to look back to know that they are following me. I can hear them behind me as they pound through the trees gaining on me with ease. That doesn't stop me from trying to get away though. I've done this a thousand times with more than two wolves after me so why is it that I can't seem to get away from them? Probably due to my body coming undone at the seams with every breath I take. I can feel the exhaustion pumping through my veins, but I will not go back to that life. I'll die first.
"Stop!" I push harder at the boy's voice seeing a road up ahead. A sad smile crosses my features when I see headlights in the distance. "No! Wait!" I don't listen I merely dive into the middle of the road at just the right moment. The last thing I see are bright headlights followed by the sound of screeching tires before I see and feel nothing at all.
Third POV
"Oh my god!" Scott yells dropping to his knees at the girl's side. He looks over her dirt and blood smeared face before taking in the rest of her still form. "Derek we have to get her help!?" Scott panics, already pulling out his phone to call an ambulance.
"What are you doing?" Derek growls ripping Scott's phone out of his hand before he can blink. "We are taking her to Deaton." He says letting his eyes roam the small girl whose heart beat is slowing with each passing second.
"Like hell we are!" Scott roars, his eyes turning to gold. "She is hurt beyond Deatons repair; she needs a real hospital Derek. Wolf or not she will not make it without proper care." Scott narrows his eyes at Derek who isn't fazed at all. He's too focused on the girl at his feet to even think about Scott's little outburst. She smells like a wolf yet she doesn't have the traits of a wolf, for instance, rapid healing.
"No. We take her to Deaton." Derek glares at Scott finality in his voice.
"No. We take her to the hospital." Scott retaliates holding Derek's gaze with just as much stubbornness. However, their stare off is short-lived as their heads snap to the girl in question.
"Derek is she-"Derek doesn't give Scott time to finish that idiotic question as he scoops the small girl up into his arms. "Derek Wait!" Scott yells already running after Derek as he loops into the forest. He looks down at the girl that fits so snugly in his arms and becomes all too aware of her lack of heart beat. This makes him run faster as he breaks through the trees and into town. It doesn't take him long to jog through the ER where Melissa hurriedly takes the girl from his arms.
"What's her name?" Melissa asks flashing a light in her eyes checking her response.
"She's not breathing." It's the only thing Derek can say as he watches them wheel the mystery girl away into an unknown room. A part of him wants to stay, but he quickly dismisses that part of himself as he disappears through the hospital doors. Someone would come to claim her, he was sure of it.
