Speeding through the Beacon Hills Preserve, a black Chevy Impala drives down the winding road, trying to reach its destination as quick as possible. Pausing in front of the chained entrance, the purring engine shuts off and the glowing headlines cut out, leaving the car sitting in the darkness of night. The driver's side door opens allowing a young woman to step out into the chilled woods. Her long blonde hair, illuminated by the moonlight, blows in the slight breeze as she takes a look around, trying to remember the path she needs to take. The car door slams shut and the girl starts down the path, continuing deeper into the darkness.

Leaves crunch under the brown combat boots the girl is wearing as she travels with the moon as her guide. Wrapping her leather jacket tighter around her tiny frame, she begins to slow, finally reaching her destination. Before her is a large tree; a massive trunk growing into a vast amount of leaved branches. Reaching into her pocket, she pulls out her cell phone, using it as a flashlight to brighten up the area. She shines the light onto the tree, revealing a carving which reads "Katrina + Kyle, big bro – little sis" surrounded by a heart. The girl lightly runs her fingers over the hard bark muttering to no one "I'm so sorry… It's my fault you aren't here to start your senior year." Dropping her hand, Katrina turns around and begins back down the path to her car. Refusing to let herself cry, she shoves her hands in the pockets of her jacket and turns her eyesight to the moon above.

"Hey! Stop!" Some one shouts from behind Katrina, causing her to jump in a startled manner. Stopping in her tracks, she is approached by a man with a flashlight who begins to question her motives for being in the woods so late.

"Kat? What are you doing out here so late?" the man, who is revealed to be Sheriff Stilinski, asks while lowering his flashlight. She winced, no one has called her Kat since her brothers disappearance.

"Just taking a walk to clear my head before school starts tomorrow, I'm sorry if me being here is causing trouble sir." Her eyesight cast down at her shoes.

"It would be no problem any other night but I've got the whole force out here searching these woods and I don't want to see you hurt or in any kind of trouble."

"Ok Sheriff, I'll just head home now." As she starts to walk away, she quickly shouts back, "Sheriff? Have you heard anything…" trailing off because her voice is beginning to fail her.

"No, I'm sorry Katrina." The Sheriff replies with a frown and starts to head back towards where he came.

Giving a slight smile, she turns back down the path and starts to walk quicker to her car. Once safely inside, she exhales the deep breath that she desperately needed to release. Kat starts the car, pulling out of the Preserve and starting on her drive home.

Turning into her driveway, she notices that her parents, Amelia and Jim Martin, still have not returned home. "Why should I expect tonight to be any different? They bury themselves into their work to keep them distracted from the golden child being missing." She mutters and kicks her tire in frustration before proceeding into her house. Katrina slowly walks up the stairs to her room, desperate for a good night of sleep for once. Stripping the now muddied boots off her feet, she flings herself face first onto her bed. Suddenly the room is filled with a loud ring, causing Katrina to groan. Reaching into her pocket, she pulls out her cell phone to see that her cousin, Lydia, has texted her.

Will be picking you up in the morning for school. Aunt Amy's orders. Thatwas all the text said. Sighing, she thought "Why is Mom doing this, I have my own car?" Kat replied Fine, see you then.

As much as she loved her cousin, she hated how she acted in school towards Kat once Kyle had disappeared. The three of them used to be so close, Kyle acting as a big brother towards Lydia as well as Kat. Now, she was the loner. Once Kyle had disappeared, all of the friends Katrina had, including her cousin, slowly began to fade from her life. Kat was alone, more alone than people seemed to realize. Staring mindlessly at her ceiling, Kat hears a howl from the woods behind her house. "Well that's different." She thought while turning her head towards her cracked window. Pulling herself off of her bed, Katrina begins to get changed into pajamas. Taking a quick look in her mirror, Katrina evaluates her appearance, noting the long honey blonde hair falling past her shoulders. Tired hazel eyes stare back at her, scanning her paled skin for imperfections. Short height but soft, well-developed assets and curves show the body of a woman. Yet, in her mind, Kat only saw flaws amongst the blinding beauty. "Who ever heard of a beautiful loner?" She bitterly thought as she tore her gaze from her mirror and returned to her bed. Turning down the covers, Katrina gets underneath, making herself comfortable enough to allow sleep to take her.

"BUT IT WAS NOT YOUR FAULT BUT MINE, IT WAS YOUR HEART ON THE LINE, I REALLY FUCKED IT UP THIS TIME, DIDN'T I MY DEAR…" Mumford and Sons blared from her phone on her desk, causing Katrina to shoot out of bed. With a grumble, she reached for the device to turn off the alarm. The time of 6:00 AM stared back at her, a reminder that school started in an hour and a half.

Heading into her bathroom, Katrina turns on her shower and begins to remove the clothes rumpled by sleep. Stepping into the shower, she lets the hot water coat her body, attempting to relieve the tension from her shoulders. The scent of sweet strawberries floods the room as she opens her shampoo bottle and begins to wash her hair. Coconut soon joined the strawberry smell as Katrina washed and removed the dirt on her body. Feeling satisfied that she is clean for her first day of sophomore year; Katrina turns off the shower and promptly wraps a large fluffy towel around her body. Before she left the bathroom, she proceeds to dry her wet hair, allowing it to fall straight over her shoulders neatly. Clutching the towel tight around her body, Katrina returned to her room to look through her closet in search of a first day outfit. Moving the hangers aside, she scans through the clothes, landing on a flowing red lace tank top. Grabbing a black bandeau and a matching pair of panties, Katrina yanks the shirt over her head and slips into a pair of black skinny jeans. Shoving her feet into her black combat boots, she quickly checks her appearance and just adds touches of eyeliner, mascara, and a red lipstick to make her seem bold.

Hearing a car horn honk outside, Katrina grabs her trusted leather jacket and runs downstairs, where she snatches an apple and her book bag before jogging out the down. After shutting and locking her front door, Katrina proceeds to her cousin's car. The ride to school was quick and silent, both girls not really knowing what to say to the other. Lydia pulled into a parking spot and swiftly turned to look at Katrina.

"I'm going in first so wait a few minutes and then get out of the car." Katrina already knew that she was saying that cause she didn't want Kat to ruin her reputation. Lydia checked her make up once more and opened her door.

Before she walked away, she turned back to Katrina and said with a smile "Oh, and have a good first day of school Katrina, it should be good for everyone."

Katrina gave her thanks with a short nod and a smile, returning her gaze back out the windshield. She took one final look of her own appearance and followed Lydia's orders, leaving a few minutes after she did. Katrina walked across the parking lot with her own confidence, even if she was perceived as a loner. Stepping up onto the sidewalk, she caught the middle of a conversation between two boys.

"Well, if you don't believe me about the wolf, then you're definitely not gonna believe when I tell you I found the body." A tall, tan skinned boy with dark hair said.

"Are you kidding me?" His pale skinned friend with a buzz cut exclaimed with an excited gesture of his buzz cut hair-clad head.

"I wish, I'm going to have nightmares for a month!"

"That is freaking awesome! I mean seriously, it's the best thing that ever happened to his town since the birth of Lydia Martin." Katrina follows the boy's gaze towards her cousin who is strutting towards the entrance. "Hey Lydia! You look like… you're gonna ignore me." The boy says in a defeated fashion. As Lydia passed, a small smile graced her lips when she looked at Katrina, acknowledging her presence at school for once. Shaking off the boys' conversation, Katrina headed into the school building; ready to just get the day over with.

The day finally ended and the only way Katrina could get home was if she stayed after school with Lydia, who was watching the first Lacrosse practice of the season. Groaning, she made her way to the bleachers by the field, keeping some distance from her cousin like she normally did. Katrina decided to make the best of this time and began some of her homework. When she began to hear loud cheering, she looked up from her work and noticed one of the boys from this morning, Scott McCall, located in the goal. She had learned his, as well as his best friend, the Sheriff's son, Stiles, name during her English class that morning. It turns out that Scott was actually doing really well, even stopping an impressive looking shot from Lydia's captain boyfriend Jackson. Thinking nothing of the amazing catches he was making as nothing more than a hard amount of work going into his own practicing this past summer, she proceeded to Lydia's car to head home at last.

So this is my first ever story, let me know what you think and if I should continue with it! Thank you all :)
