I had passed the sign of Beacons Hill over ten minutes ago. It wouldn't be long before I was at my old childhood home, or what was left of it. My brother Derek had giving me the phone call over a week ago, informing me of my Uncle's death. Well, murder. I was reluctant to come at first, but when Derek explained his new title of Alpha, I figured home was better than staying on the road.

I'm only sixteen and have spent most of my life alone. My family was mostly all dead, except for Derek, my overbearing, over protective, older brother. I had left to get away from the horrors I had witness as a young child. I had to move on. So, why am I headed back to my worst nightmare? Apparently, a lot has happened in Beacon Hills since I had left. A new monster had been killing people and he needed my help, catching and killing it. I hesitated at first, but then finally agreed to help.

I hadn't seen Derek in over a year. I had changed a lot. I hadn't grown much. Still, five three, hundred and ten pounds. I had long black hair, and green eyes. I looked more grown up and less like a bratty little sister.

I finally pulled in the drive way of our old family home. The one that so many members of my family were burned alive in. I shuddered at the memory. Derek, Laura and I were lucky. We were at school when it happened. Our uncle Peter was the older survivor. He was left badly burned and in a coma. I was ten years old the last time I saw him. My brother had informed me that he was the Alpha and had murdered my sister. I was angry at first, although it quickly faded when he told me that he had killed Peter, leaving himself at the alpha.

I stepped out of my mustang and walked to the house. It was burnt and falling apart. A clear safety hazard, but hey, I like to live dangerously. I opened the door and peaked inside. It was quiet, like no one was home. I took a few steps inside. It didn't seem like anyone was here. "Derek?" I called. No response.

I heard a noise to my left and spun around. I didn't see anything, so I slowly walked into what used to be our living room. I heard another noise behind me and turned around again. Again, no one was there. Then I felt a presence behind and I spun around quickly and swung my fist. I was to slow, the person behind me slapped my hand out of the way and brought their knee up to my stomach. I fell on my back and looked up to see the face of my assailant. I smiled at them, just realizing how much I had missed him. "Good to see you to brother." He extended his hand and pulled me up. Once I was on my feet he pulled me into a hug. "I've missed you Raven."

"I've missed you too." I replied as I wrapped my arms around him and buried my face in his neck.
