A/N so I originally wrote at least six chapters of this story but somebody stole my flash drive. I had to write everything all over again for all my stories that explains why I haven't updated in a while. I'm sorry it took so long for me to update. Well here it is. Also I do not own Tee Wolf. The song she sings is Death Cab For Cutie I will follow you into the dark, Deniela Andrade cover.
"Venomous"
Poppy POV
My bones pop and crack with loud snapping sounds. Everyone sitting in the table turns to me, "Poppy are you okay?" my brother asks. I nod with pain, another loud cracking noise makes Stiles look at me with worry. "I'm fine" I growl out at him, I feel my head start to ache and my body start to shake.
I let out a whimper, Do it Darling kill him, he hurt you. I hear the voice again echoing in my head, it always sounds so familiar but I can never place it. I feel strong arms wrap around me and drag me out of my seat. I let out a low growl at the person, "Don't struggle" the person says.
Soon enough I'm in the woods in my wolf form. I look up to see Isaac standing in front of me, I let out a whine, once I see my torn up clothes. I really liked that outfit, I start to shift out of my wolf form. I feel my joints pop once again in that horrible way. Once I am back to my human form I see Isaac looking away holding his sweater out.
"Thanks" I say with a smile and grab the sweater, "I think I should just keep this sweater, I mean I seem to take it from you all the time" I say. I put the sweater on, "If you want you can keep it I mean if you want" he says with a stutter. I laugh, "I'm decent, you can turn around now" I say with a smile. He slowly turns around, "I don't think I can go back to class like this" I say with a sigh.
He nods, "I can take you home if you want" he says. "I'd like that Isaac" I say with a smile, he walks me to his car. The ride to my house is silent, I really don't know what to say so I stay quiet. Once we reach my house I invite him in. "Do you want anything to drink?" I ask he shakes his head. "Well I'm going to throw on some clothes" I run up the stairs and into my room.
I throw on a blue superman sweatshirt and a pair of ripped black skinny jeans. I put my hair in a up do halo braid and I race back downstairs. I see Isaac staring at a picture of my mom, my dad, Stiles and me. He turns around, "She's really pretty" he says nicely I nod, "She was beautiful, I remember every Sunday we would have this jam session, I would play the piano and sing and she would sing with me while Stiles and my dad watched" I smile with the memory.
"We were so happy, I didn't understand death at the time, I was eight turning nine and I was at the hospital when it happened. It was Stiles and I, I fell asleep because I was just so tired we were there all week and I hardly got any sleep so I thought maybe I should just take a quick nap. Then when I woke up she was gone. I didn't even get to say good bye, it was my birthday and that night I wished that I could take it all back, that I never would close my eyes" I say tears in my eyes.
"I was never going to sing with her, she was never going to call me little bird, she would never see me grow up or graduate or get married, and I was never going to see her again" I say choked up. "After that day I stopped singing, I guess it just hurts too much to do it." I say sadly. Isaac looks at me sadly, he walks toward me and wraps his long arms around me.
My heart flutters in my chest, "It's okay" is all he says and I truly believe him, because right now it is okay. I never talked about my mom to anyone, I never told anyone why I stopped singing. I didn't even talk about it at the crazy house, but with Isaac I feel like I can tell him anything and he will understand.
We stand like this for what seems like hours, his arms wrapped around me. Then a sudden beeping breaks us apart, I grab my phone. "Hello?" I say, "Poppy are okay?!" Stiles shouts into the phone. "Yes, I am fine" I say annoyed that he ruined the moment. "Are you sure?" he asks, I sigh "Stiles I'm not made of glass I'm not going to break the minute you turn your back, look I have to go, bye" and I hang up.
"Look I have to go back to school, I'll see you tomorrow" Isaac says, he turns to leave and my heart aches with each step he takes. "Bye Isaac" I say sadly, he turns with a smile "Bye Poppy". Once he is out of the house I let out a deep sigh. I can't believe I told him all that, I can't believe I let him in. Now he's going to hurt me.
I can't let that happen, I don't want to be hurt again. I go up to my room and lay down today has been just a stressful day. With seeing Luke and almost shifting it is just too much. Once my head touches the pillow I am off to sleep.
"Darling" I hear a voice say, I look around. I haven't been called that in ages. "Darling" I turn to my right and see bright glowing red eyes. "I'm sorry I left you Darling, it was for your own good, but I'm still with you don't forget that. Don't silence my voice, you need me and I need you, I gave you this gift so you owe me" he says. "You're alive! You're the voice it was always you" I say quietly.
"Yes it is me, and Darling don't silence me because I will find you and I will make you listen" he says, then he pounces on me and grabs my arm digging his claws into it. "Think about your family, your brother, if you don't listen what will happen to them" he growls.
I jolt out of my nightmare shaking with fear, this can't be happening he died. I saw it happen, I was there. Why would he want me to kill these people, I don't understand, why is he making me do this. I let out a sigh, I look atmy clock and see that it is four pm. I roll out of bed and run to my restroom, I look in the mirror. My blue eyes are now blood shot, my blonde hair is a little ruffled in its halo braid. I look down to the sleeve of my sweatshirt.
I roll it up and see crescent shaped claw marks, my heart stops. "This can't be happening, no, no, no." I say quietly, but it is Darling. I shake my head , tears clouding my vision. I grab my phone and dial Stiles's number, he doesn't answer. Panic overwhelms me, "Pick up Stiles!" I growl into the phone. After the sixth call I grab my blue converse and head to Scott's house.
I run all the way to Scott's house when I get there I see Derek and Boyd standing in the middle of the street. I run toward them, "What are you doing here?" I ask Derek turns and glares at me. I step away from him I turn and look at Scott's house, I hear fighting. I run toward the house and run in, "Stiles!" I growl. I run around the house looking for him, I start to panic.
I run out of the house toward Derek, I feel my nails start to grow and my canines too. "Where is my brother" I growl at him, Boyd steps in front of him. Half shifted I raise my claws and slash his face, he doesn't have time to react because I knee him in the stomach. I grab his head and flip him over my shoulder, once he is down I go for Derek. "I'll ask you again where is my brother" I growl at him.
Derek backs away slowly, then I feel a sharp pain. I turn and see Boyd, his claws are sunk inside my back. I grab his head and flip him over, he lands on his feet. Just then to bodies are thrown next to me, I look and see that the bodies are Isaac and Erica. I turn and see Scott, my brother and Allison. Stiles looks at me surprised, I run towards him "God Stiles I was so worried about you, you weren't answering any of my calls" I shout at him.
He looks at me taken back, "Sorry Poppy" he mumbles. I bring him into a tight hug, he stiffens then hugs back. "Um Poppy you have blood on your back" he says casually, I laugh "I kind of freaked out when I couldn't find you" I say. I let go of him and see a shocked looking Lydia, "Can somebody tell me what the hell is going on" she says.
I look at her confused, I turn back and look at Derek and see he is looking up. I look up and see a reptile looking monster, "It's Jackson" I hear someone say. I take one step toward Derek, "What is goi-" I stop moving a sharp pain over takes my body. I drop to the floor, my wrist starts pounding with pain. I told you to listen, don't ignore me Darling, I grab my wrist and roll my sleeve I see the claw marks are dripping with blood.
Then everything is black.
I open my eyes and look around I see that I am home, "You're awake" I turn and see Isaac sitting at my desk. I stand and walk toward him, "Are you okay? I mean I last time I saw you, you were knocked out" I say. He nods, "Are you okay, I mean you look like you were having a nightmare" he says, "I'm fine just a little confused what happened back, what was that thing?" I say. "Um, I think we should probably not discuss that" he says.
"Why?" I say confused, he raises his hand and scratches the back of his head. "um, Scott and Stiles don't want you to be a part of this" he says. My stomach sinks and I feel hurt, "Why?" I ask sadly. He looks at me taken back, "No it's not like they don't want you to help, it's just its too dangerous they don't want you to get hurt" he says rapidly. "I don't want you to get hurt" he says quietly.
I look at him, "I'm stronger than you think Isaac, I can help" I say confidently. He looks at me with caring eyes, "I know you are Poppy, I don't doubt you, I just can't, if you get hurt again god I wouldn't know what to do with myself, you just got back." He says, I look at him surprised, the care in his voice is real. " I won't get hurt" I say.
He looks at me angry, "Poppy don't you don't understand you just got back, I don't want to lose you again" he says mad. I look at him surprised, "What do you mean you don't want to lose me again, you didn't even know me and it's not like you care about me, this is like the fourth time we talked all my life!" I growl at him.
He looks at me with shock and anger, "I do care about you Poppy, more than anything, you were the first person to actually care about me who actually knew who I was, who actually listened to me, and I do know you, you're that strong and independent, loud spoken, incredible girl that I have had a crush on since first grade, I still do" he says angry. My heart stops, as he walks closer to me.
"I still do Poppy, from the moment I saw you on the first day of first grade I knew you were special and I knew I would fall for you, when those ass hats you called friends turned on you I stood there and protected you because you didn't deserve it and when I found you face down in that lake my heart stopped and I didn't know what to do I just knew you couldn't die because you deserve to live a full and happy life" he says.
"I stayed in the hospital for days waiting for you to wake up, they wouldn't let me see you but I still wanted to be there, and I did all that because you cared. Remember I was at the grave yard late at night after my dad got mad and beat me, I was sitting there and I heard you sing you sounded so broken. I remember being so surprised to see you there, I thought you were always so lucky to be popular" he says with a sad laugh.
"You turned around and yelled at me, you called me a creep but once you saw my face you asked me what happened" he says.
Flashback
I was in middle school, it has been five years without her. Five years since I last sung, five years since I've seen her. I didn't know where to go after what happened today, I just didn't know what to do. How could Luke do this to me, I thought he loved me. How can he walk around like nothing happened, it's been three days since what he did to me. I broke up with him and I tried to move on with my life but I can't.
Every time I close my eyes I see him, every time someone touches me I flinch away. People talk about me, they say horrible things. He just stands there and laughs at me, I can feel myself breaking, I trusted him. How can someone I have known since third grade, someone who was so sweet become a monster?
I find myself in front of my mom's grave crying. My lungs hurt my chest hurts, everything hurts. I need to let it go I need to breathe. I need to sing.
Love of mine, some day you will die If Heaven and Hell decide
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the "No"'s on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule If Heaven and Hell decide You and me have seen everything to see If Heaven and Hell decide
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me,
"Son, fear is the heart of love."
So I never went back
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the "No"'s on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
'Cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the "No"'s on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark
I let out a sigh, and smile. I hear a someone clapping, I turn to see a tall lanky boy. Rage fills me, "What the hell you creep! What are you doing here!" I scream at him with my best bitch face. When I walk toward him I see his face, I gasp. He has a bloody busted lip, and a huge black eye. "I'm s-sorry, i-t's j-just you were h-here and I heard you" he stutters out.
"Oh my gosh are you okay" I say and take his face in my hands. He winces, and I mumble a sorry, I reach into my bag and take out a napkin. I wipe the blood from his lip, "I'm fine" he says shyly. I shake my head "No you're not" I say sadly. "I'm fine Poppy" he says snaps at me, I look at him surprised, "You know my name?" I say. He nods "Everyone knows your name and who you are" he mumbles sadly.
"I wish they didn't" I say sadly, "Hey at least people know who you are" he says annoyed. I turn to him, "I know you" I say looking him in the eyes. "You're Isaac Lahey, the quiet shy boy in my math class" I say with a smile. He looks at me shocked, then smiles "You know me" he says silently.
"Of course I know you, and just because nobody else does, doesn't mean you're not special , it means the quite opposite, it means you're going to be something big and whoever did this to you is going to regret it because you are an amazing person you hear me" I shout at him.
He looks at me shyly with surprise, I wrap my arms around him. "So smile and never give up" I whisper in his ear.
