I Spy
"Parker" she says my name all stern like and by the tone in her voice I know she's upset. What could I have possible done? "Are you able to speak freely?" I ask cautiously. With all the secrecy going on, I don't want to say or do something that can compromise her.
Speaking of secrecy, I throw up an invisible shield around my house and the property grounds. I don't need unwanted ears listening into this conversation. The shield also acts as a barrier that will keep the humans and supernaturals out.
"Yes, now what's going on? Where are you?" ugh can she be any more dramatic. "I'm in Beacon Hills enjoying the scenery, meeting new people, you know me".
She doesn't say anything so I assume she trying to process everything and then I hear the hitch in the breath and ding ding, she's figured it out. "You're looking for him" It wasn't a question. "Be careful Parker, Braeden has seen a lot death around Beacon Hills in the coming months and she's seen you right in the middle of it all".
I've seen it as well but I can protect myself but knowing my girls are looking out for me make me feel a little better. "I've made arrangement in Beacon Hills to become a guidance counselor at the High School There's a girl there that we need to look out for - you'll know who she is once you find her, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to sense here. Has he been bitten yet?"
"Yes, I had a vision of Scott McCall receiving the bite right before it happened. I'm not sure who the Alpha is that bit him though, this one looked all mutated".
"I'm not going to advise you to stay away because I know you'll get involved anyway". Nodding my head as if she could see me and tell her she's right. "Who's going to keep the boy alive if not me?" Blowing out an unnecessary breath I tell her "You should know there may be hunters in the area, a body was found in Beacon Hills Preserve cut in half".
I'm pretty sure by now she's fuming right now. I didn't ask for all this shit to pile up into one day. "Find Derek, you'll be stronger together. And make sure your shield is up at all times. I have to go I'll talk to you later".
She hangs up and I remember I forgot to ask about the girl. I guess I'll have one more thing to add to the growing pile of shit to do while in Beacon Hills. I pull back the covers and fall into a dreamless sleep.
Waking up I notice it's still dark out. Throwing on some compression shorts, sports bra and running shoes I makes my way down stairs to the kitchen for breakfast. Not in the mood for anything heavy I blend a protein shake and cut up some fruit. I wolf down my fruit and I'm suddenly pulled into a vision.
McCall and Stilinski are in the Preserve's again.
Watching as the boys jump in and out of a creek, McCall tells Stilinski that he had all the time in the world to catch a ball. I've done so research about the school and Lacrosse is the "it" sport.
"I can hear stuff I shouldn't be able to hear, smell thingsā¦" Stilinski asks "Like what?" You can tell that the boy doesn't believe him. "Like the mint mojito gum in your pocket." Stilinski riffles though his pocket and is surprised when he pulls out his jacket.
The boy shrugs it off and he continues walking. "So all this started with the bite?" McCall shudders out "What if it's like an infection? Like my body is flooding with adrenalin or something?" I scoff at this, he can't be serious. "You know what I think I've actually heard of this .It's a specific kind of infection." Stilinski tells him.
McCall stops and walking and ask "Are you serious?" I pause as well. I'm curious to hear what he think is happening. "Yeah, yeah it's called Lycanthropy". I lift one brow, surprised that he guessed right, but I can't tell he doesn't believe. I guess McCall attempting to rip him to shreds will be enough proof for him to believe.
McCall, as clueless as ever asks "What's that? Is it bad" with a straight face Stilinski tells him "yeah it's the worst, but only once a month on the night of the full moon" then he proceeds to howl.
Rolling my eyes I zone out of the conversation.
Standing in the Preserves has me itching to come here to let my wolf run. It's isolated and not many people are out. Well who would be with a body being recently found?
Watching as McCall bends down to looks through leaves for his inhaler. I feel someone behind me.
The feeling of my breath leaves my lungs, I'm struck stunned. Walking towards me is Derek Hale. I walk up to him as he's making his way towards the boys. Taking in the sight before me - strong cheek bones, deep green eyes and tall muscular frame. God I'm getting wet just thinking about what underneath that black leather jacket and tight shirt.
I feel my vision pulling me back to the present and I let go.
Back at my kitchen table, I'm in shock. Derek Hale, my mate was so close that I could touch him.
I could follow the boys after school today but I'm not sure if I should. Fuck this is all too complicated.
I make my way to the sink and wash out my dishes. Walking out of my front door I pause and look towards the woods feeling eyes on me. I flash my Alpha eyes and scan my surroundings. A red headed woman has her hands up on my shield trying to get through.
Throwing another shield around my self, this one's makes me invisible to others, I make my way over to her.
She's looking around frantically because she can't find me. She's dressed in a white buttoned up lab coat with a Beacon Hills Memorial Hospital ID badge. She smells like burned and rotting flesh, it's easy to surmise what type of patients she works with. Noting her name on the badge. Jennifer will be paid a visit at later date.
Leaving Jennifer where she is, I take off into a run back to Beacon Hill Preserves to get more info on this severed body.
