Grace P.O.V.
It's been a few days since Stiles, Liam and I followed Theo into the woods, a few days since Liam and I told Mason... everything. Right now Scott, Stiles and I are standing in the sheriff office as the man himself gets ready of him 'mystery to us date'.
Handing him a mirror from his, the sheriff looks into it and groans whilst running his hand over his hair multiple times. "Ugggh... I should have got a hair cut"
The idiot known as 'Stiles' decided to make a comment at that "Well you know, someone your age should be happy you still have hair to cut"
"I think you look great" Scott comments
"You look very handsome Sheriff" I smile to him from beside my brother.
"Well thank you Son and Daughter, I should have had" the sheriff replies to us, making Stiles go into shock and Scott and I's faces form smug grins to the younger Stilinski. "Oh, what the hell am I doing? This is a terrible idea" The sheriff says pulling his tie undone.
"What? Dad! It's one date. The town implode while you're out with one woman" Stiles says putting the tie back in place then looks to Scott and I then back to his father "Or man" He looks to his father expectantly.
"It's a woman Stiles" The sheriff reassures his son.
"Okay"
"A very beautiful woman" The sheriff announces
"What beautiful woman by the way?"
"None of your business" The Papa Stilinski says smiling to his son. The looks at Scott and I "Any of you" he finishes making me pout. I watch as Stiles looks Scott and I and we just give him amused looks before he turns back to his father.
"I wanna know"
"Drop it Stiles he's not gonna talk" I say walking to the sheriff and brush invisible dirt off of his shoulders . "Very nice"
"Hold on, do you know?" Stiles asks me with a glare.
"Not a clue" I shrug turning to him then moving back to my brother. Stiles moves forward again and straightens his dads jacket but shouting in the station cuts him off.
"STILINSKI! STILINSKI!" A male voice shouts out and the four of us exit the office to see a young guy in handcuffs being held in place by Deputies Parrish and Clark. "I'm going to kill you" The boy insists and I raise an eyebrow to him.
"Donovan, if you think that shocks me. Remember it was well documented in your anger expression inventory, Deputies escort the prisoner out"
Parrish and Clark go to remover 'Donovan' but the guy begins to talk again. "I'm not angry like I'm going to through your window. I'm angry, like I'm going to find you, I'm going to get a knife, and I'm going to stab you with it until you're dead" I resist the urge to laugh at the guys threats "And when you look at me and you ask me why, remember right now, because this is why" during the ending of the speech Stiles and I look at each other with the same look. SARCASM TIME.
"That was cute, you need some work on your threats there darling, a bunny is more frightening" I say and the sheriff looks at me annoyed until his son starts to talk.
"No Gracie, that was awesome. That was awesome, that was great. Can we do one more? Can you do us another? Maybe like Christopher Walking, you know?" Stiles says and rolls his shoulders "Okay you know what? It's fine. You'll have plenty of time to work on it when you're in a tiny little cell. You know, just stuck there... forever" The sheriff gives Stiles another glare, but ignoring it I look at Stiles and we I smirk at each other then do a little fist bump.
We look at Donovan and he nods his head, the deputies begin to pull him away but he lunges at us. Like I said, frightening. Donovan struggles against Parrish and Clark as the sheriff yells for them to leave.
"What the hell is anger expression inventory?" Scott asks Stiles and I look at him, not knowing the answer myself.
"It's a test you take when you applying to become a Deputy"
"That guy wanted to be a cop?"
"At least now he's getting the full law enforcement experience" Stiles says looking at the door.
"I'm guessing Donovan failed the test"
"Yeah, I guess so" Stiles says not taking his eyes off the door.
The sheriff spins around and looks at us. "Okay, you, you and you" he says pointing to me then Scott and last Stiles. "Get home and get some sleep, School tomorrow"
"Dad..."
"GO!" Papa Stilinski yells to us and I grabs Scott's hand and lead him outside with Stiles following, we get to the jeep and Scott opens the door for me so I can get in the back, thanking him I climb in and settle down back as Scott and Stiles do the same. After a moment Stiles tries to start the jeep but like 75% of the time, the engine begins to sputter. Giving up, he stops turning the key with a look to Scott.
"It's anxiety" Stiles says to nothing
"What is?" Scott asks confused.
"The chemo signals, I'm well aware how you all monitor my emotional state"
"I usually just watch you freak out, yeah" I comment leaning forward between the two. Scott puts his hand on my head and pushes me back whilst Stiles send me a clearly fake smile. Stiles tries the ignition again and when it doesn't work he hits his hand off of the steering wheel.
"You okay?" Scott asks.
"Alright" Stiles says and pulls his phone from his pocket. He searches through it and pulls something up handing it to my brother he says "Got this from Braeden a few hours ago" Scott takes the phone off of stiles and I move closer to him to see the screen, peering over his shoulder.
"Now that's the first bit of real information we've gotten on the Desert wolf in months"
"Oh shit" I gasp and the two turn to me with a glare. Right, I'm a good girl. I'm not a loud to swear.
"The Desert wolf did this?" Scott asks turning back to the picture on the phone and I resist to gag at the image.
"Yeah, and I'm the one that's been pulling on this thread"
"Maybe you stop" Scott offers
"Well it's not up to me" Stiles replies and successfully starts the jeep.
Stiles drives us around the streets of Beacon Hills until his dad calls him saying there has been an attack on the van escorting Donovan, Shit.
We arrive at the scene to see Lydia, Malia and Kira giving statement and walk past them as Paramedics are wheeling some bloodied up guy on a stretcher to the awaiting ambulance nearby.
"Guys!" The sheriff yells to us and we walk up to him. "Scott, you saw this kid Donovan, he, he wasn't like you right?"
"I don't think so"
"Unless he knows how to hide his scent" Stiles adds looking between Scott and I.
"Well human or otherwise, this kid might of just murdered his lawyer and mortally wounded two officers... We've got an A.P.B. out on him, but... you think you can find him faster?"
"I could try" Scott agrees.
"Alright" Papa Stilinski says and hands over the walkie "Keep it on channel 2" Scott takes the walkie and runs off in the direction we came.
"Dad what if it wasn't Donovan?" Stiles asks his father.
"I'm guessing you've already got a theory"
"Yeah, I think I do"
"Huhhh" I breathe out and they both look at me confused "Why can't Lydia find a field of flowers?"
"You hate Flowers" Stiles reminds me, I really do.
We move over to Lydia, Parrish, Malia and Kira and talk amongst our selves until cracking comes through Parrish's radio.
"Scott is that you?" Parrish asks in to the radio.
"Yeah, I've found Donovan, he's really freaked out and keeps saying some name"
"What name?" The Sheriff asks taking the radio.
"Theo" Stiles mumbles from beside me as I stand between him and Lydia. I swear if I didn't trust Theo myself I would think Stiles was obsessed with him being evil.
"Tracy. He keeps saying Tracy"
"Tracy who?" Sheriff asks back, confused.
"Stewart, Tracy Stewart" Lydia announces and I look to her confused now.
"Tracy from my English class?" I ask and they turn to me.
"You know her?" Sheriff asks me.
"No, at least not really. A couple of days ago she was acting kind of odd in class, skittish is the best way to put it I guess"
Time Skip
The next day
School
The whole teenage part of the pack stands at the buses in the school parking lot, going over what we know about Tracy. I stand in Liam's arms as Lydia tells us about Tracy's dreams.
My ability to focus on what Lydia is saying deteriorates quickly as Liam holds one hand on my waist and the other changes from time to time by either plucking the front right strap of my red suspenders draws circles on the bare skin on my stomach due to the fact I'm wearing yellow crop top and denim shorts.
"Tracy wasn't just having trouble sleeping, it was a real disorder. It was night terrors" Lydia explains
"Well now she's the night terror. Especially since no one can find her"
"Okay, I know we're all tired and miserable" Scott says from across from me, standing in between Kira and the newly informed Mason. Scott turns his attention to the new face at the meeting "Except for you" he says drawing Mason's attention to him from looking around at us all in amazement.
"Oh, I'm sorry" Mason says smiling to my brother and looks around at us again "This is all just... Mind blowing" I my body slightly shakes against Liam's as I attempt to sniffle a laugh. Liam tightens his hand around my waist and leans down to nuzzle my neck, I close my eyes in contentment as Liam kisses my shoulder. "You're a Kitsune. I don't even know what that is" Mason exclaims and I open my eyes to see Scott looking at Liam and I, his eyes flicker red.
"I'm still learning" Kira informs him.
"Liam! Gracie! We said you could tell him, not invite him to the inner circle" Stiles says turning to us.
"I'm in the inner circle?" Mason asks him
"No" Stiles and Liam say together as I say "Yes" They both glare at me.
"What are you?" Stiles says looking at Liam and I "Oh my God!" he exclaims and pulls me out of Liam's arms "Keep your dirty little hands to yourself" Stiles says pointing at Liam and I laugh at his reason for pulling me away as EVERY inch of Liam was pressed against me. A growl comes from the other side of the bus and I look over to see Scott's eyes blazing their bight Alpha colour as he looks between Liam and I. When his eyes land on mine I flash mine back in warning that he can't stop us. Understanding my message his eyes turn back to normal and he goes back to the conversation. No one misses the satisfied smirk on my face. And although I know my brother has backed down now, it won't be like that forever, soon overprotective Big brother will come back and his best friend will be tagging along for the ride.
"Look back to Tracy, she's just one lone wolf. We can find her" Scott insists.
"One lone serial killing wolf" Malia reminds us.
"No, no she only killed one person. The other two where mauled" Stiles explains and I sneak away from him and slid back into Liam's arm, going back into our previous position, the only other person who seemed to have acknowledged my movement is Lydia, who sends me a flirty wink. "What do we do when we catch her?" Stiles asks drawing my attention away from the Banshee back to him.
"I say we put her down" Malia says with no emotion.
"I'm not okay with killing some teenage girl" I pipe up from my spot in front of Liam. Shocked they all turn to me and look back to where I was with Stiles, speaking for the latter, he does a whole 360 turn and looks back at me with a murderous glare.
"She's killing people Grace" Malia snaps at me.
In that moment, that split second I almost shout at her that she did too. But I bite my tongue, literally and nod my head in acceptance. Still not feeling right about killing Tracy but having to accept any out come
"Intense" Mason speaks out after several seconds of us thinking it over; we all look at him then Scott adds...
"Guys, let's all concentrate on catching her first" He sends me a look then says "We'll figure out the rest later" nodding I grab Liam's hand and lace my fingers through his and walk over to the School with Mason on his other side, the others tailing behind.
A few hours later
I lean against my locker as Liam searches through his for his history book. Swinging my right leg back and forwards I skim the tip of my red vans along the cold floor. Sighing I slam the back of my head in annoyance.
"Liam..." I whine
"Got it" He finally calls, pulling his head out of his locker with his History book in his hand. Smiling I lean forward and gently place my lips against his. With his empty hand he wraps his arm around my waist pulling me closer to him, his lips brushed against mine and slid my arm around his neck, scratching him lightly along the nape. He let out a growl and I heard the sound of a book hitting the floor as his other hand came to the other side of my waist and my back was slammed into the lockers.
Liam's lips never left mine. His right hand disappeared from my waist before I felt his thumb grazed my cheekbone. Sliding my hand up from his neck I rake my hand through his spiked hair. Liam's tongue flicked out and traces my bottom lip, begging for access. When he realised I was denying him access he chuckled lightly and began to place light kisses along my jaw then down my neck. He stopped at my collarbone and sucked lightly on my skin. My hand that is lying on his chest clenches his hoodie tightly in its fist, keeping him in place.
When we pull apart I try to control breathing, making Liam smirk down to me as I lean my head on his chest. Once my breathing is in control, I lift my head up and look into his eyes. Liam smiles down to me and kisses the tip of my nose. My attention shifts from Liam to the empty hallway of the school.
"Shit" I hiss and let go of him "Liam we're late"
"Crap" Liam says and bends down to pick up his fallen history book before he grabs my hand and we run off to class.
When we enter the classroom with the door slamming into the room, making all the students jump in fright, some even giving out little shrieks. Mr Yukimura looks to us annoyed but with slight amusement.
"Liam, Grace. I'm so glad you two could join us, However I'm not glad that you're late"
"Sorry sir we were just..."
"Whatever excuse you come up with Liam will not explain the bruise on Grace's neck" Yukimura says and I blush as everyone laughs
"Take a seat you guy" He indicates to the two empty seats in the back row, thankfully they are right beside each other. I grab Liam's hand and drag him to the back of the class room I sit in the seat between Liam and a girl in a blue sweater and long chocolate brown hair. Looking over the girl I spot Hayden on the other side of her, smiling to Hayden I sit down and listen to Mr Yukimura.
A negative feeling flows from the girl beside me and I look over to her confused. I can't see her face because of her messy obviously unbrushed hair is shielding it away from me, so I lean forward into my deck and duck down slightly to get a better view of her face. Holding back the need to gasp when I see her face I sit back up and look over to Liam who is giving me a confused look.
Glancing between the teacher and Liam I mouth the word 'Tracy' to him and he immediately understands. Liam raises his hand up to get the teacher's attention but Mr Yukimura back is to us.
"Uhh... Mr Yukimura?" Liam calls
"Yes Liam?" He sighs, turning to my boyfriend.
"Can I go to the bathroom please?"
"Late to class and now this Liam..." He stops speaking when he glances over to me and I tilt my head in Tracy's direction making him look over to her. None of the other students pay attention to our conversation thankfully. "Make it quick" He says in understanding with the hidden message to find Scott fast. Nodding Liam looks to me questioningly
"AP Bio" I whisper and he gets out of his seat and rushes out of the door. I nod my head to the board and my friend's dad turns around and resume writing, understanding to act normal.
Keeping my attention on Tracy, I begin to worry as her breathing deepens and scratching sounds for under her desk. She clutches the sides of her desk and lifts it off of the ground slightly. The top of the desk begins to crack right down the middle and my eyes widen.
"Tracy! You need to calm down" I whisper to her but she doesn't listen.
"Hey, are you alright?" I heard Hayden ask. Oh shit. "Are you even supposed to be in this class?" Silently begging for Liam to hurry I let out the breath I didn't notice I was holding as the fire alarm ring out.
"No rushing please, I'm sure it's just a drill" Mr Yukimura says looking at me. I give him a nod and stand up turning to Tracy.
"Tracy?" I whisper and look at Hayden.
"Hey, we need to go" Hayden informs the girl but is ignored as well. The bell cuts off and Hayden continues "Are you alright?"
"Hayden you should go, I've got her" I inform my sort of friend. Hayden nods and begins to leave as I crouch down beside Tracy but the girls arms shoot out and wraps her hands around both Hayden and I's wrists.
Hayden lets out a pained grunt and I let out a gasp at the strength of the girls hold on us. Damn this girl hurts.
"Tracy?" the sound of my brother's voice draws my attention to him. Scott, Liam and Mr Yukimura are walking up behind us. Tracy's hold tightens on Hayden and I, something pierces my skin and I look down to see blood spilling out between the girl's fingers and my arm. Tracy has her claws digging into my skin more and more and I let out a cry along with Hayden.
"Tracy?" Scott calls again but is ignored; breathing deeply Tracy stands up from the seat but keeps a hold on our arms. "Tracy" Scott says again and the girls grip tightens
"She's hurting me" Hayden cries out. I look at Liam with so much pain that I hear him whimper at my expense
"Tracy... let go" Scott says moving forward with Liam right behind him.
"They're coming" Tracy finally speaks up and let's go of Hayden and I. I look down at my wrist to see a small amount of blood with small claw marks in my arm, they've already began to heal "They're coming for all of us" Tracy begins to sway and falls down towards me. Luckily I jump out of the way and Into Liam's arms, he wraps them around me and I watch as a silver liquid spills from Tracy's mouth.
"Scott!"I shout and he rushes forward and scoops up the girl into his arms "Take her to Deaton" I whisper to him and he nods, thinking the same thing. Liam, Hayden and I walk out of the classroom following Scott and Mr Yukimura who is guiding my brother out of the school. Stiles and Malia round the corner and they open the fire exit for Scott to carry the girl out.
"She wasn't even supposed to be in our class" Hayden says to me "Where are they taking her?"
"The hospital I guess" Liam answers for me.
I look down to Hayden's arm where she is clutching her wound " Hayden? Do you need help" I nod my head to her arm.
"I'm fine Grace, thanks. I'll see you later" She nods to me and walks off.
Sighing I turn to Liam and gasp as his lips smash into mine. He kisses me deeply before pulling away and lifting my arm up to look over. "I'm fine" I whisper to him. All that is left on my arm is a smear of blood, the marks of her nails completely gone. He lets go of my arm and I turn my back to him. "Can you get a wipe from my bag please?" I ask him and feel the tugging as he opens my backpack and searches through it. The movement stops as he pulls out the packet of sanitation wipes and opens the packet, pulling one out. I place my hand over my shoulder for him to hand me it but he just closes the packet again and puts it back in my bag and tying that closed to.
Once he's done I turn to him confused and he just picks up my bloody arm and begins to wipe away the deep red liquid. Smiling slightly I lift his chin up and force him to look at my face.
"I can do it myself"
"You got hurt. You're not supposed to get hurt. I'm supposed to protect you" Liam whimpers.
"You can't protect me from everything Liam"
"I can try"
"But you can't always succeed... come one we should go and find Lydia and Kira" I say and he disposes the wipe into a nearby bin then takes my hand and we run off to find the others.
We rush around the corner and stop as Kira and Lydia almost bump into us.
"They're taking her to the animal clinic?" Kira asks right way.
"Yeah to see if Deaton can figure out what's wrong with her" Liam informs the two.
"What's wrong with her is that she killed two people, her father and according to Parrish her psychiatrist" Lydia says warily.
"Isn't there anyone else we can talk to? Does she still have her mom? Any family?" Kira asks
"Alpha" Lydia immediately says. "If she's a werewolf, she has a Alpha right? ... anyone know if a new one's moved into Beacon Hills?"
"No. But there's an old one... one of the oldest and we know her" Kira says and looks at Liam and I.
"Ito pack" Liam says with annoyance. I smile at him; he really does hate Brett doesn't he.
Time skip
I walk out to the field clutching Liam's hand as we stop and watch Brett practice lacrosse, shirtless.
"So he's a Werewolf too?" Mason asks in amazement from behind us as we watch Brett, I roll my eyes and Liam pulls me in front of him, wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Yep" Liam says in annoyance.
"This just gets better and better" Mason says and I look to him to see the smile on his face. I turn my head to Liam and kiss his jaw line. He turns to me and kisses my temple then looks to the field.
"Brett!" Liam shouts catching the other Beta's attention. Brett looks to the guys he was practicing with and says something before walking over to us.
"Liam, Mason, Grace" He greets us all nodding his head at each of us.
"We need to ask you something" I say and follow him to his bag on a bench. Liam pulls out his phone and bring up a year book picture of Tracy and shows hit to Brett.
"Cute, never seen her" He says looking between us and moves down to his bag.
"Could Satomi have turned her without you knowing?" Liam asks
"After the Deadpool, Satomi 's not exactly doing that much recruiting"
"That's how it works? Alpha werewolves just go around biting people?"
"Or you can be born like me and my sister, or Grace here" he says nodding to me Mason looks at me amazed "She wasn't bitten to get power, she was born with it" Brett continues
"I'm right here you know" I say with a little wave and Liam pulls me closer to him again.
"Satomi took us in after our family died in a fire..."
"Grace" Liam says and I turn my attention to him.
"Yeah?" I ask and he shows me his phone where he has the picture of Tracy still on the screen but zoomed in on a very familiar necklace hanging around her neck.
"That's..." Liam drags out.
"What?" Mason asks confused and I look at him.
"Looks like we're going for a trip to the preserve" I announce with fake excitement causing Brett to laugh out. "Mason, you're driving" I say and turn to Brett "Get changed... you're coming with us" I demand.
"Why?" Liam asks turning to me with a glare although I can tell he's not mad at me just at my thought to bring Brett.
"Because in my experience in the woods of Beacon Hills it's always better to have backup and ne extra set of eyes"
"You can be my backup" Liam says to me and I raise an eyebrow.
"I am you're back up, he's mine" I nod to Brett who is still standing there. "GO!" I point in the direction of the changing rooms and he nods, a little fearfully and picks up his bag before running to the direction I am pointing at.
By the time Brett is done Liam, Mason and I are already in Mason's car waiting for the Beta, Liam and I sit in the back with my legs thrown over his and his arms wrapped around my torso, holding my flushed against him. Shifting slightly, I turn my head into his neck and run my nose up his jaw line to his ear, where I place a gentle kiss, just beneath the lobe.
Barely registering Brett entering the car and Mason pulling Liam squeezes my waist lightly in a clear sign to 'knock it off' but I ignore him and begin to place kisses all over his neck, occasionally nipping him slightly with my teeth.
Chuckling Liam shifts and kisses the top of my head, smiling I nuzzle his neck, settling into his body more. With my head nestled into his neck I close my eyes and focus my hearing I listen to the beating of my mates heart, the gentle thumping lulling me into a soft slumber.
It doesn't take long for us to get to the preserve. I'm awoken by the soft kisses being planted on the bare skin of my shoulder.
"G?" Liam asks into my ear
"Ummm?" I grumble back to him.
"Come on we're here" he whispers and takes my hands, leading my out of the back of the car. He leads me over to where Mason and Brett are waiting next to the no entry sigh and chain is to the preserve. My eyes have adjusted but I'm still groggily "Mason, take sleeping beauty here" I hear Liam ask and he gently pushes me to his best friend. Mason's hands connect with the bare skin of my waist when he stops me from ploughing into him.
Spinning my around he keeps one arm around my waist, guiding me as we walk into the preserve, following the two Beta's. The air is cold and the sky is dark, feeling Mason shiver next to me I generate a little more heat to warm him up.
"Thanks" Mason whispers to me.
"No problem" I say and snap my head to the boys as they begin to talk
"You sure you know where you're going?" Brett asks
"I know where I am" Liam insists
"So do I... In the middle of nowhere"
Rolling my eyes I look at mason as he takes a step forward once again the ground disappears from beneath my feet as I fall into another hole, this time with Mason.
"Guys?" Mason calls from beside me as he rubs his head.
"Seriously, again!" I growl out as I stand up.
"I think we found it" Mason informs the Beta's as they loom over us.
Not wanting to be in another hole much longer I hold my hand up to Liam. Wrapping his hand around mine, he effortlessly pulls me out of the hole he brushes the dirt off of me as his eyes skim over my body checking for any scrapes, finding none he kisses my nose wraps me in his arms and turns back to Mason.
"See the necklace?" My boyfriend calls down. We watch as Mason brings the flashlight on his phone and searches around for the jewellery.
"No I don't see it" Mason informs us and Brett moves forward to give Mason a hand out of the hole.
Once Mason is back up the guys brush the dirt off him and he turns back to inspect the hole. "Liam I though you said this was a sink hole" Mason says crouching down, we all copy him movement, Crouching down I look over the side of the hole.
"It's a hole what's the difference?" Liam asks crouching down between Mason and I.
"I mean, look at all these hand prints and look at all this dirt" Mason says throwing some dirt around.
"She didn't fall in here" Brett says in realisation
"She was buried" Liam clarifies.
"Intense" Mason says and I think he likes the supernatural world a bit too much.
Liam Jumps down the hole and begins to search around for the necklace himself. He's went around four times now and I'm starting to get annoyed.
"quit it G" Liam calls to me
"What?" I ask
"Getting annoyed by me"
"It's not by you Liam, it's the fact that you've looked around the hole four-five times now. There is nothing there"
"She probably came back for it" Brett says and I nod in agreement. Liam sighs and finally jumps out of the hole.
"I don't think this is the one" Liam says looking up at us and I look to him in confusion. It's a hole dug in the ground besides animals how many more can there be?
"What do you mean?" Brett asks
"It was closer to the bridge" Liam say and I look around and realise he is right. "much closer"
"This is a different hole" I groan
"Then... who crawled out of this one?" Mason asks us
"I really don't want to know" I sigh and turn to Liam. "We should tell Scott" I say tuning to them. Liam nods in agreement, we begin to walk away but I stop when My phone begins to ring from my bag. I go to take my bag off but Liam is already behind me, pulling it out.
"It's Scott" He informs me handing it over. Hitting the answer button I pull the phone to my ear and Listen to the panicked voice of my brother...
