"I am become death, the destroyer of worlds."— J. Robert Oppenheimer


For once, Veronica Finstock actually had some alone time with her boyfriend, Enzo. She was only going to be in Italy a few more weeks before heading back home to Beacon Hills and all she wanted was to spend some time with him. Originally, Ronnie was supposed to head back at the end of the school year, when her study abroad program finished, but she convinced her parents to let her stay with her Aunt Norrie and Uncle Nick for the summer.

Unfortunately, her aunt and uncle assumed it was because she wanted to spend more time with them. She loved them, really she did, but in reality she just didn't want to leave some of her friends and her extremely attractive, Italian boyfriend. Norrie and Nick had rarely let Ronnie have anytime to herself but the teen had still managed a few hours here and there.

Ronnie had lucked out one night though. A friend of Norrie and Nick was throwing a dinner party and the couple was going to be absent for a couple hours. As soon as they had left, Ronnie had texted Enzo telling him to come over. It took him about an hour to finish up work but he hurried over as soon as possible.

Now here they were, making out in her bedroom at her aunt's house. Their relationship was relatively new, and mostly physical, but Ronnie was perfectly fine with that. She knew their time together was limited anyway.

Things between her and Enzo quickly became heated after he showed up at the door. Now the both of them were barely clothed, Ronnie in only her bra and underwear and Enzo in just his boxers. Ronnie knew that this situation was a risky one. She had no idea when her aunt and uncle would be home and if they were to walk in now Ronnie would be forced to stutter out an explanation for their compromising position.

Once she realized that it was probably best to not go any father for the night and that they should slow down, Ronnie start to gently push Enzo away. The eighteen year old Italian boy allowed some space to be gained between them so Ronnie could catch her breath but he quickly went in for another kiss. He wasn't planning on stopping anytime soon.

Ronnie almost gave in to him but thinking of her aunt and uncle possibly interrupting their rendezvous was quite the mood killer. He swiped his tongue along her lip, seeking entrance. She pushed him away again, "Enzo, we can't tonight. I don't know when Norrie and Nick are going to be back. If they catch us—," she tried to finish but Enzo cut her off.

"Seriously Ronnie?! You're going let it go this far and then just stop? Stop being such a tease," he snapped at her. She narrowed her eyes at him not appreciating his shitty attitude. Enzo either didn't notice her anger or chose to ignore it because he leaned in to kiss her again. Ronnie shoved him away, not bothering to be gentle this time, and got up to put her clothes back on.

Ronnie threw her shirt back on but when she went to grab her shorts, Enzo snatched her hand away. Her eyes shot up to look at him and before she had a chance to do anything about it, Enzo yanked her up towards him and kissed her roughly. Ronnie pushed against his chest but he didn't budge. She couldn't break free of his strong grip.

Suddenly, a strange sensation started to wash over her. She felt like she was losing control over her actions, almost like an out-of-body experience. She felt strong. Empowered. Invincible.

Murderous.

Ronnie grabbed her "boyfriend's" jaw and forced him to step back and look at her. His eyes were wide open in terror. She opened her mouth and a purple, luminous haze drifted out of his mouth and into hers. After about a minute, Enzo's body collapsed out of Ronnie's grasp and onto the floor. He lied there, limp and unmoving.

The teenage girl felt herself returning to normal after the odd power trip. Stumbling towards her full length mirror, she fell to the ground in front of it before looking up. She stared in shock at what she saw, unable to speak or scream.

Her eyes, which were once a cloudy blue, were now an inky black. All the way from the pupil to the outer edge of her iris was pitch black with seemingly no light reflecting. The darkness consumed all the light. Ronnie watched as the black color rippled away to be replaced with blue again. It wasn't the same cloudy blue as before, but a brilliant, bright blue like the color of the waters in the Caribbean. Her pale, alabaster skin seemed clearer and more radiant.

The air returned to her lungs and the sound of Norrie and Nick, walking in the door and calling up to her, knocked her out of the daze she was in. The girl in the mirror couldn't have possibly been her, could it?

Ronnie went to stand up, swaying as she tried to regain her balance. She turned around and saw Enzo's body just lying there. "Enzo," she whispered, stepping closer to him. "Enzo." There was still no response and finally she just yelled, "Enzo!" When he remained unresponsive, Ronnie began shaking him and screaming.

The bedroom door burst open. Her aunt and uncle came rushing in, still dressed up from the party. Norrie grabbed Ronnie and pulled her away from her boyfriend's motionless body as Nick checked for a pulse. The older man looked up at Ronnie and Norrie shaking his head, unable to speak.

"No. No no no no," Ronnie repeated over and over again, tears falling down her cheeks. Uncle Nick pulled out his cell phone to call the police and an ambulance. "What did I do? What's wrong with me?" Ronnie cried as Norrie just held her, not really knowing what else to do for her niece. The last thing Ronnie said though, startled her aunt and uncle.

"What am I?"


Hey everyone! I finally took the leap and decided to publish another story. I know some of you may have read my Cato/OC Hunger Games story, and I know some of you may think I've abandon it... but I haven't! I literally think about it at least once a week. The truth is I'm probably going to rewrite all of it. I think my writing has grown a lot since I originally published it. I published it when I was a sophmore or junior in high school and at the end of the summer I'll be entering my sophmore year of college. I have started to rewrite some chapters but I want to have a couple completed before I start republishing. Hopefully I'll get some up by time I got back to school.

But back to this story... I'm really excited/nervous about it. I played around with a few different storylines in my head and this is the one I liked the most. I hope everyone likes it! Don't flame. If you don't like it don't read it. I don't have time for trolls. It's a Stiles/OC story and will be a slow burn (and you'll find out why in the next update). Any of Ronnie's outfits will be on my Polyvore account under the same username. So, that's about it for this author's note. Just one last thing. If you want to start guessing now about what kind of creature Ronnie is, feel free. I'd love to hear them!

Thanks!
