Yeah, I am alive, over a year since I updated I'm sorry, this came from procrastinating revising for my exam on Sparta, I have no idea why I thought it would be a good idea to pick that module, anyway enjoy -A

Finding a Pack

The following Monday, Karina found herself lurking round the school, after the final bell had rung. She casually found herself walking towards the lacrosse pitch when she saw Stiles and Scott run into the boy's locker room. She quickly followed them upon hearing the speed of Scott's heart. Naturally the idiot had begun to change on the pitch. She quickly sped when she heard the growling off a wolf. She spotted Scott stalking Stiles, preparing to attack, Karina stepped protectively in front of Stiles.

"Down Pup." Karina growled, the red ring on the outside of her violet eyes bled to cover the whole of the iris, into a deep crimson.

Scott cowered away from her, whimpering.

"Scott, listen to the sound of my heart, focus completely on that." Karina commanded. Scott listened as she saw the shift leave him.

"Stiles? Karina? What happened?" Scott asked in confusion

"You tried to kill me, and probably would have if it wasn't for whatever Karina did." Stiles replied,

Karina eased out of her defensive position in front of Stiles. Why did she automatically protect Stiles rather than go on the attack? She asked herself, suddenly confused. Realising she had tuned out what the two boys had said she paid attention to them again.

"You are going to have to get out of the game Saturday!" Stiles explained

"But I'm first line." Scott sighed with defeat.

Karina laughed in disbelief "That is what you get from that Scott, that you are first line, I think you fail to see how dangerous you are right now. Scott you shift on the field, you reveal us to the world, to the Argents who want us dead, you could kill someone. Could you live with that Scott? Take it from someone with experience you don't want that on your soul." Karina walked away from the both of them, who wore bewildered looks upon their faces asking the question who the hell was Karina Reynard?


Karina ignored Scott and Stiles for a few days, she found herself making friends with Erica, a girl who suffered from epilepsy and being a social outcast because of this. Erica was shy and timid, Karina knew she was collecting strays, but she couldn't help herself. She made plans with Erica on the weekend to have a movie night and a sleepover.


The asshole that was Harris, paired her up with Isaac Lahey for a group project, Isaac she decided was another stray she was taking in. He flinched when she accidentally brushed his side, she apologised quickly, he brushed it off. She knew then and there Isaac was being abused, she had to take deep calming breaths to prevent her shifting in her anger. No child should be abused by someone they trusted, she dug her nails into her thigh to relieve the anger she was feeling, Isaac did not need her flipping out on him, he needed a friend who would be there for him. She quickly gave him her number and address, giving him the excuse that she had to study at home due to her overprotective big brother because of the murder that had happened, but she would be able to drop him back off at home, if her dog came with her. Isaac looked reluctant but quickly agreed as long as it was okay with his dad. She hid her frown and nodded but asked him to text her when he had an answer. She received a text later that night.

Is tomorrow okay for me to come and study – Isaac

She quickly replied

Yeah, Isaac that's fine, is there any food you like, and I'll cook for us – Karina

Could you make beef or turkey Manhattan? – I

Sure, I'll get the stuff to make it, how has your night been? – K

It has been alright, I've just done homework and finished work, how about you? – I

I've been getting puppy cuddles from my dog who is most certainly not a puppy, and what is your job, if you don't mind me asking? – K

I am kind of jealous and I work in the cemetery, morbid I am aware – I

You can have puppy cuddles tomorrow and a job is a job, its good being independent, I'm proud of you – K


It was while Karina was studying with Isaac when Qetsiyah left him alone that is, much to Karina's amusement, when her phone rang. She went into the kitchen to answer.

"Hello?"

"Karina, its Stiles, we found something at the Hale house!"

"Are you two idiots? Derek is going to kill you, he is a born were, Stiles you are human, and Scott has no control. This is about the game isn't it? Derek threatened him, didn't he?"

"Yes, he did but that's not it, Karina it's not about the game."

"How is it not about the game, you heard him in the locker room. Look I don't want to know, call me when you are done with the teenage bullshit."

Karina put down the phone and counted to ten before re-joining Isaac, grabbing two cans of lemonade, one for herself the other for Isaac.

"Sorry about that." Karina apologised, before laughing at the sight of Qetsiyah laid upon Isaac in a way that only his head was showing.

"Don't worry about it. But could I have some help please?" Isaac asked pleadingly with wide puppy dog eyes.

"Xiàchē shǎzi (get off mutt)." Qetsiyah whined in response, and climbed off Isaac but slowly, causing both Karina and Isaac to laugh. "I think that is a sign off no more studying for tonight. Do you want to watch a movie?"

Isaac looked as if he was going to say yes but the chime of the clock changed that decision,

"I better get home."

"Sure, I'll drop you off, and Isaac if you ever need a place to get away you are always welcome here, its not like Konan is here most of the time anyway."

Isaac smiled and nodded

"Thanks, Karina."

"Don't worry about it puppy." Karina smiled ruffling his hair.


The next day Karina stormed up to Stiles and Scott, grabbing both of them by the ear and dragged them into an empty classroom.

"What did you two morons do?" she asked expectantly

"What do you mean?" Scott asked confused

"I got a phone call this morning, with the news that Derek Hale had been arrested for murder?" Karina glared

"We found the other half of the body on his property." Stiles replied

"Why were you at the Hale house?" Karina asked, both boys looked uncomfortable, "Wait a body, please tell me it wasn't a brunette woman in her late 20s."

Both of them looked at Karina in confusion

"Yeah it was." Scott replied.

Karina looked physically defeated, before closing her eyes, a single tear slipped from her closed eyes. "Laura, what the hell did you get yourself into?"

"Laura?" Stiles asked

"Laura, as in Laura Hale, Derek's older sister and Alpha, why would you think Derek did it?" she asked looking at them in bewilderment.

"Because he has threatened to kill me multiple times." Scott replied quickly

"So, what you both are telling me is that you two got Derek arrested because you are scared of him when he only came to town after Laura went missing?"

"Yes, but how do you know so much about Derek?" Stiles asked

"I've known the Hales for a long time, Derek's uncle was my best friend, like I said Stiles I have been 16 for a very long time." Karina pushed her finger tips to her temples, trying to fight off the growing headache from the teen wolf and his human sidekick.

"So, are you like a Vampire?" Stiles asked cheekily

Karina let out a small laugh "No I'm not a vampire, Stiles, I don't burn in the sun and I don't drink blood."

"Then what are you?" Scott asked

"Trust me, it is a lot safer for the two of you that you don't know what I am, it will just draw unwanted attention to the both of you and your teen wolf drama is enough Scott, you don't need my bullshit as well. So, will you please stop accusing Sour wolf of murder please?" Karina spoke softly

Stiles and Scott nodded in agreement.

"Well don't you have a game to play?" Karina asked

"Yes, we do are you coming?" Stiles asked

Karina shook her head "Not tonight, Stiles, I have a date with Patrick Swayze, Richard Gere and pizza."

"What?" Scott asked

Karina smiled "I am having a girl's night with Erica."

"Really, Erica?" Stiles asked

"Yes, I have more friends than the two of you." Karina grinned before walking off to go pick up Erica, to watch Dirty Dancing, Ghost and Pretty Woman, and have a much needed break from the supernatural bullshit.


So Karina has befriended the misfits that will become Derek's pack and also revealing the dumb and dumber that she knows Peter.

Karina - I swear if it wasn't for me those idiots would die.

Stiles - Excuse me, I figured out Scott was a werewolf.

Karina - And he has no idea what wolf's bane is. You know things, Scott knows nothing, he is worse that Jon Snow.

Stiles - You, you have a point and did you just make a GOT reference .

Karina - Yes and if you were the king of the North, I'd go south on you.

Me - I think you just broke Stiles, please stop doing that to him.

Karina - Not a chance and plus it amuses you.

Me - Where is the lie?

- A
