I don't own Teen Wolf or any of its amazing characters. Tragically.
Sooo this is my first go at writing a fic, so don't be too harsh. This story starts at the beginning of season 3a with my own OC Raina Dubois, who I will be paring will Stiles, because I love him and everybody deserves some love right? I have a seriously awesome plot planned for this story if I do say so myself, so I hope you guys enjoy! It strays slightly from the plot on the show, but I'm sure you guys will be pleased. It might start off slow but there is a lot of drama and action ahead. Enjoy!
Raina Dubois really wasn't like everyone else. Not that she really wanted be. She thought normal was boring, all too ordinary, simple. Of course there were times in her life were she just wished she could be like everyone else, her biggest worry being some inconsequential test coming up the following week. But usually her biggest worries mostly included literally running for her life from impending, life-threatening danger. Yeah sometimes it was her fault that she got into those situations. Watcha gonna do, she was an adventurous spirit. Oh and not to mention a witch. That probably why her life was a one big, dangerous roller coaster ride. But right now she was faced with a much more mundane problem. Her father had decided to up and move for reasons that were quite beyond her. He was warlock, as well. She was in fact very content at her old home in Boulder Colorado, but her father had a tendency to abruptly move. Of course the move might have had something to do with her mother's sudden death. Raina didn't talk about her. She couldn't really cause it just hurt her too much. Her mother had been a witch like her. She had dueled with a powerful, vengeful, evil witch who had tragically defeated her. And she had been killed. Raina didn't like to think about. She didn't like the fact that she could have helped her, saved her even. But no, she had been at home fussing over calculus homework.
So, her dad had moved her to into the small town of Beacon Hills in California. She really no idea about why it was this town or this state for that matter, but she didn't ask questions. Her mother death was still fresh in their minds and he was still raw with pain and guilt. Raina loved her father very much and trusted him enough not to question the move to much. She would miss her friends for sure, but maybe a fresh start was just what they both needed.
That was exactly what ran through Raina's mind when she stepped into Beacon Hills high school for the very first time. The white, plaster covered walls minded her painfully of her old school but Raina pushed that thought to the back of her mind. She was vaguely aware about the students who stole questioning glances at her and who whispered hushed theories about the new girl into their friends ears. She didn't really mind or care. She gone through this before, multiple time actually. The gossip about the new girl would die down soon. She was sure.
Raina treaded her way through the school, attempting to locate the principals' office. But to no avail, the new school seemed like a complete maze to her. Raina was usually quite confident about herself but the stares of the faceless mass were annoying her and she felt frustrated. And forlorn.
"Hey, you look lost. Care for some assistance?"
Raina whipped around in the space of time of a millisecond. She was confronted by a lanky boy clad in plaid. He looked around her age, seventeen, with chocolate brown hair and beautifully deep hazel eyes to match. His pale complexion was topped up by high cheekbones, his cheeks littered with tiny moles. Adorable, she thought.
"Uh, um yeah. I mean yes I'm lost and need of immediate assistance. Do you happen to know where the principals' office is? Cause this place is like a frieken maze."
The mystery boy let out a breathy laugh and replied. "Yeah I know what you mean, but you'll get used to it. I mean I only got lost maybe like ten times. You'll be fine."
Now it was Raina's time to laugh. This boy was being incredibly sweet to her, she though absently. "Ok, so no worries then." She replied.
"Ok let's see, so the principles office is...actually why don't I just show you. This place is already a massive maze and explaining it to you would just end up giving me a massive headache."
"Well alright I ain't gonna argue with that. Even with your direction I'd probably just end up getting lost anyway. Oh and thanks for helping me." Raina said as they began to walk.
"Oh no problem. I was going that direction anyway. And you just looked so desperately lost." He replied with an adorably lopsided grin, which made something flutter in Raina's stomach. She unsuccessfully attempted to push the feeling down.
"Oh great impression I'm giving of myself on my first day at a new school. The desperate new girl."
"Oh no no you just looked so adorably lost I couldn't help but offer my gracious assistance." The butterflies were wild and free in Raina's stomach and she wasn't really even trying to suppress them anymore. Even the boy looked a little flustered at what had just escaped from his mouth. He gave Raina a shy, embarrassed smile which Raina returned before he went to continue.
"I mean, my name is Stiles, Stiles Stilinski." Ah, he has name, Raina thought in the back of her mind.
"I'm Raina, Raina Dubois. Pleasure to meet you Stiles Stilinski." Raina said with a mock bow.
"Likewise Raina Dubois." He said grin forming on his lips as he mock bowed back to her. "That's french, right?"
"Ah qui, mon amis." Raina replied with a quirk of lips.
"She knows french. Nice. Oh here we are." Stiles said pointing at the ajar door of the principals office. They were already here, Raina realized slightly disappointed. He would leave soon.
Just as Raina was about to answer to Stiles, the agitated voice of the principal rang out into the hall.
"And what ever happened to the library, I want it cleared out. And what the hell is this?" exclaimed the principal as he lifted a long, silver, polished sword from inside the desk. Raina gaped at the principal and turned to stare at Stiles questioningly. Aside from being confused he looked slightly horrified.
"What do you think that all about?" Raina asked trying to break the silence.
"Um, uh your last uh principle was kinda well loony, I guess. He was fired." Stiles blabbered hastily still staring at the principals' office.
"Oh uh strange school. Well I guess I have to go in their now." Raina said timidly, not quite wanting Stiles to leave.
"Right yeah, uh huh, well I guess I'll see around." He said absentmindedly.
"Right right okay um yeah um see you around." Raina cursed herself cause she didn't want to seem so unconfident. "Later Stilinski."
"Later Dubois, try not to get too lost." He said, winking at her. Her stomach fluttered involuntarily and a smile slipped on her lips.
"I'll try, but I can't promise anything." Raina said backing into the principals office. "Bye then."
"Bye" Then he was gone in a flash of plaid and flutter of flailing hands.
Despite being clearly agitated, the principal assisted Raina and welcomed her to the school. He asked her some unnecessary questions for protocol and gave her her schedule and sent her on her way. Raina had to resort to asking for direction to her next class but she did finally reach her destination. She had chemistry and found that the teacher, Mr. Harris, was downright unpleasant. He seemed to actually hate all the students. Funny that he decided to become a teacher, Raina thought. He seemed to hate her before she had even stepped into the class, because he didn't introduce her to the class at all, then made her sit right in the back. Yup, she definitely did not like him.
Her next lesson was english she saw as she peered down at her schedule. As she walked into the class she mentally patted herself on the back for finding the class without asking for any assistance. Stiles would be proud. Stiles, Stiles who was already lounging in one of the wooden chairs in the class room, engaging in an animate conversation with a dark haired boy sitting to his left. Raina's heart leapt in her chest and she scolded herself cause she had just met him and he didn't probably even remember her. She collected herself, and confidently strutted into the class and plopped into the seat in front of Stiles, acting as if she didn't even notice his presence. Soon as she felt as gentle tap on shoulder, she couldn't possibly contain her grin. As Stiles touched her she felt a slight jolt go through her body, but she didn't really stop to think about it. She just turned around and feigned surprise at the sight of him.
"Oh hey, Stiles! I didn't see you there."
"Yeah hey Raina. How's your first day at the glorious Beacon Hills been going? Excellent I presume." He said with a smile, sarcasm laid thick in his speech.
"Oh yeah it's been fabulous. I'll be pleased to let you know that I managed to get to this class without asking for any directions. I'd call that a victory."
"Color my impressed, Dubois. I don't think I know anyone that has managed to conquer Beacon Hills high school as fast as you have. You sure you ain't using some kinda magic?" Raina stomach dropped just for second, because even though it was impossible for Stiles to know her secret, it could still be very possible. People had found out before. She understood that he had been joking, but she still couldn't fight the feeling of impending dread. No one could ever know what she was. They'd think she was a freak of nature. Like she was.
"Funny Stilinski, sorry to disappoint but it's just my natural talent."
Before Stiles had time to reply to her, everyone's phone in the class went off simultaneously, including hers. Raina turned around and fished for her phone, curiously opening the text that had been sent by a blocked number.
"The offing was barred by a black bank of clouds and the tranquil waterway leading to the uttermost ends of the earth flowed somber under an overcast sky seemed to lead into the heart of an immense darkness." A woman, the teacher presumably, strutted into the class whilst reading out loud the text message that she had obviously sent to all the students. Clever, Raina idly thought, simultaneously wondering how on earth the teacher obtained all the students phone numbers. Pushing that thought away, she went to inspect the teacher. Raina had always liked to observe people in their daily lives; it fascinated her, but also saddened her slightly for it painfully reminded her of how she didn't quite belong among them. The teacher looked young, maybe in her late-twenties or early thirties. She looked neat and nicely put together and she looked very kind, a great upgrade compared to Mr. Harris.
"This is the last line to the first book we will be reading. It is also the last text you will receive in this class." The teacher said kindly, brandishing a phone in her hand. "Phones off, everyone."
Raina quickly put her phone on silent and shoved it back in her bag. She dug out her english books and resigned herself to another lesson when she heard hushed voices behind her.
"So is she new, and if so why, is she talking to you?" She heard a boy's voice ask playfully, as if teasing the person the question was being asked from.
"Yes she is new and she was lost so I helped her. I mean this place is a frieken maze." Raina smiled. "And besides, is it so hard to believe a girl like her would talk to me, give some credit Scott." A boy answered, a voice Raina recognized to be Stiles'.
"Just joking bro, chill. So she cool?"
"Yeah she's totally great. She seems really cool like cool like laughing at my crappy jokes cool. Yeah cool."
"Oh so she's cool?" The boys presumably named Scott asked Stiles, teasingly.
"Oh shut up." Then Raina heard a whack like something being hit and an indignant yelp, probably originating from Scott.
"Boys in the middle, calm down down and focus on english, please." The teacher's voice rang firm, effectively silencing the two troublemakers.
So lesson continued quietly, until the tranquil was interrupted by the principal walking in. He walked up to the teacher and said something to her in a hushed tone. As the he left, the teacher turned to the class. "Mr. McCall." She said beaconing a boy to follow her. The boy ended up being Stiles' friend Scott. Scott hurried after the teacher and out of the class. He didn't return after that, which Raina found slightly off putting.
Raina's attempt to actually concentrate on the task at hand was thwarted when she heard chatter from behind her. Raina was just the type that she couldn't help but tune in. Besides the couldn't focus anyway.
"No Prada bit me" A girl said from behind her.
"Your dog?" She heard Stiles questioning the girl.
"No my designer handbag." The girl answered sarcastically. "Yes my dog." Raina heard Stiles sigh exasperatedly before replying. "Yes but has it bit you before." The girl answered Stiles with a mumble that did in fact confirm that her dog had not bitten her before. Okay now Raina was starting to feel like major creeper. Oh well no harm in continuing, she though.
"Ok well what if it's like the same thing with the deer, you know, like how animals start acting weird right before an earthquake or something."
"Meaning what, there's going to be an earthquake?"
"Or something! Maybe it means something is coming. Something bad." Stiles relied sinisterly. Why on earth were the two talking about this?
"It was a deer and a dog. What's that thing you say about three's? Once, twice-" The girl was abruptly cut off by a sharp bang on the window. Raina's head whipped around to face the window, only to find a bloody stain in the middle of it. A bird had presumably flow haywire. There's the third one I guess, Raina thought absentmindedly. She watched from the corner of her eye as the teacher put down her chalk and strolled over to the window to inspect it more clearly. Raina too stared out the window and with a frightening realization saw a large flock of birds flying strait towards their class. What was happening? And how come Stiles and that girl knew about this?
Before her mind could jump to any conclusions another bird hit the window with a bloody finality. And another. And another. Their startling speed and force was starting to crack the glass. Finally one scrawny bird broke the weak window, sprinkling shards of glass all over the already panicking students. Then the shit hit the fan. Hard. More windows breaking. Students running around, crying for help, attempting to shield themselves from the pecking birds. The whole classroom erupted into a mess of birds and blood, shouts and screams. And the worst part seemed to be the fact that Raina could have easily, with the flick of her delicate hand, calmed the whole situation down. But she couldn't. She couldn't possibly let people know she was a witch.
"Get down, get down!" Raina heard the teacher yell. She was clutching a student in her hands, trying to shield herself and the student from the vicious birds. Raina felt utterly helpless. And guilty. She could do something. She should do something. But she couldn't. So she she waited it out with the rest of students. She crouched under a desk and tried to batt away a bird that flew in her direction. She shut her eyes tight and waited. And waited. All the while she was attempting to suppress tears that threatened to overflow. Then it became increasingly quiet. She opened her eyes and crawled from under the desk and pulled herself up.
The classroom was in utter destruction. Desks and chairs were overturned and some had fallen over. Students lay all around, some still huddled under desks quivering in fear and streaked with blood. Shattered glass littered the floor. Raina's eyes scanned the scene unfolding in front of her and her eyes landed on Stiles. He had risen from the cover of a desk and looked relatively unharmed. He seemed to have a slight cut on his forehead which worried Raina but otherwise he just looked a little shaken up. He seemed to be checking if the girl next to him was okay.
Stiles eyes rose from the girl he was taking care of and landed on Raina. His eyebrows rose questioningly, a silent plea asking if she was okay. Raina answered with a tiny nod, a timid smile rising to her lips.
Everything that happened next was just a blur. The police ended up showing up, accompanied by a flurry of concerned parents. There were a lot of hugs and most of all questions. The principal showed up to dismiss the students, saying that in the event of this horrible trauma the students could be let home. What an awesome first day, Raina thought bitterly. As she was packing up she over heard Stiles talking on the phone with someone.
"We've got a serious problem at school, Miss Blake's class-" Stiles was cut cut off by the speaker on the other side. "Ah well no, pretty sure this qualifies for immediate discussion." He continued "Will you just get your ass over here, you have got to see this. Like right now." Pause. "Okay see you soon." Stiles hung up the phone and haphazardly shoved it back in his pocket. Raina didn't quite understand why Stiles was saying all those things and asking this person to come see this destruction. The birds had been driven by something supernatural, she could feel it. Being a witch she had a knack for those things. It was just this odd, undercurrent that she felt when something supernatural was around. Usually she had to some in physical contact with something supernatural to feel it, but the birds' aura had been so strong and overpowering that no physical contact was needed. But why was Stiles talking about. Could he possibly know something?
Raina was shaken out of her thoughts when someone gently grabbed her shoulder. She felt that same jolt run through her body, this time even stronger, and she automatically knew it was Stiles.
"Hey you okay? Cause that was pretty rough and you looked kinda, I don't know, out of it."
"What? Oh yeah I'm fine. Just lost in thought, is all. You okay?" I questioned Stiles.
"Yeah just shaken up, you know."
"Yeah I totally get it. I wonder what the hell was up with those birds."
Just then Scott burst into the almost empty classroom.
"Hey Stiles! Oh wow, wow ok I get it now." He muttered amazed, gaping slightly at the chaos of the room. He walked toward Stiles, gently brushing past me as he went. Then I felt a jolt spasm through my whole body. I sucked in a ragged breath quite audibly to which both boys turned to look at me. Without thinking I grabbed Scott's wrist and looked him dead in the eyes.
"You're a werewolf, aren't you?"
So it was okay, right? Please review if you feel like it cause reviews are always awesome and then I know if someone actually likes my crappy story. Oh and I'll give you guys cookies.:P
