The music was shit. It was like those songs that you hear and immediately hate but when you hear it at a party, you don't complain because it's a party, who gives a crap and the alcohol helps too. Speaking of, Nali weaves her way through crowd following the wave of Kira's hair hoping she's taking them towards alcohol… she is.

Kira, you beauty.

Nali came to a stop beside Kira who was digging around for some cups and handed one over to her.

"Drinks!" Kira shouted, just audible over the music.

"Hell yes!" Nali replied in the same way.

Not even ten minutes later Kira was quite obviously tipsy but then again she really shouldn't have challenged Nali to drinking games, drinking games were her bitch. They had gravitated towards a few people they recognised, most on the lacrosse team including Ty and Danny. Nali had yet to see Lydia's group of friends but on the whole she was starting to relax and enjoy herself somewhat.

"BEER PONG!"

A shout and cheers came from a room to their left and all of them grinning widely didn't hesitate to head over and get stuck in a good game.

After Nali's 5th go and perfect shot that had been helping her team supremely, a flash of plaid caught her eye. She sought it out and found a very flustered Stiles moving very quickly through the house and up the stairs. Nali excused herself politely ("I gotta take a piss, kill those fuckers!") and followed the boy.

Making her way through the hoard of people and creeping after Stiles, Nali felt the first tingle in her stomach, like she was on a hunt. Nali bit her bottom lip before releasing it, she hadn't felt the tingle for a while and man had she missed it. Down the corridor she watched Stiles bang on the third door on the left before stumbling in arms flying. She went into the second room, which as it turned out was a cupboard full of dusty boxes and cleaning products that were bought 5 years prior. She closed the door behind her and leant against the wall, feeling for a weak spot she could hear through as the music from downstairs vibrated the floor.

"…alpha pack….Derek….new recruits….said…nemeton….days….Scott…"

Nali only caught a handful of words but she knew that this lowly Beacon Hills town was not as quiet as made out to be, shit was going down and there was no doubt about it, it was supernatural related.

Nali listened for a good 15 minutes and managed to piece together that there was an alpha pack of werewolves, newly reformed apparently, trying to siphon the nemeton (what the hell is a nemeton) and attract specific creatures to Beacon Hills; Derek (werewolf also, alpha? Dangerous? Stiles' hot piece of ass?) said they have days before Beacon Hills becomes the next Hellmouth (Buffy, really?) crawling with the supernatural.

So basically these kids are a mix of supernatural beings and humans that continually get themselves into shit but make it out on top and Beacon Hills is hellmouth reborn. "Nali steps to the batting cage, Dean throws the retirement ball and she whacks it out of the stadium and it goes flying to a volcano where it burns to smithereens" This chica is back in the game.

The tingle has become full-blown butterflies that has Nali twitching for a weapon. Nali creeps back downstairs to find Kira locking lips with a short-haired hottie as they sway to the music, Ty playing strip poker with the lacrosse team and a few others bar Danny, who's getting busy in the corner with another hot stranger.

Of course the hot strangers come out to play when i'm leaving the game, typical. after this is over, i'm so getting laid.

Nali heads outside and makes a call she's dreading.

"Sup homeskillet, miss me so soon?"

"Charles, shit's going down, I need you not to come tomorrow, I'm sorry."

"Nal, what's going on?"

"I'm not sure yet but it's been steeped, marinated and fried in so much supernatural, it ain't goin' be pretty."

"…you can't get involved. I know you want to but Nal, you can't…"

"Charles…don't"

Nali grips the phone slightly tighter.

"Fuck!... Okay but you have to call Dean"

"…"

"You call him or I will and you know I'll know if you don't. It'd be better for you and me if it's you to tell him, I really really don't fancy telling him his 'daughter' is back in the biz."

"okay, I'll keep you updated"

"thanks…go easy...please"

Nali ends the call and looks around at the drunken kids lying on the ground before heading towards Kira's car. She took out the keys she had swiped on her way out of the house and got in.

Nali: hey, borrowed your car, sorry emergency, woulda said goodbye but u looked busy ;) can you catch a ride with Ty and the others?

Less than 20 minutes later, Nali had pulled up outside Kira's house, hidden the keys and jumped on her bike back to her flat. She went straight for her duffel that had remained untouched since she'd arrived and placed it on the table. She sorted through the bag to account for everything and then researched Beacon Hills in much more depth than they had done before she'd moved there.

Animal attacks, burned down families, freak sightings, this should have come up on their radar years ago. Most logical explanation was that it was a supernatural/hunter peace territory. She hacked into the school, town and police records to get the names and histories of everyone that was friends with Stiles and Lydia. A few calls had to be made about the treaty for Nali to eventually get a decent sized collection of information hours later.

Stiles Stilinski, presumed human, mother died when young, dad sheriff

Scott McCall, mother nurse, awol father, possible werewolf

Derek Hale, family burned in house fire, uncle survived with major scars, hospitalised for years but made a miraculous recovery a year ago, no other known survivors but suspected sister survived also, alpha (possibly) of the Hale pack in the peace treaty created between the Hales and the Argents

Lydia Martin, genius, mother teacher at the school, supernatural being, emf reading, ?

Jackson Whittmore, werewolf beta?

Allison Argent, human, hunter family headed by the women, hunts also?

Erica Reyes, werewolf, beta?

Vernon Boyd, werewolf, beta?

Isaac Lahey, abusive father dead (killed animal attack), orphan, werewolf beta?

The twins, new to town, werewolves, most likely

Alpha pack siphoning the power of the nemeton (how, where, when) to attract specific creatures to BH; why? Power? Territory? Game?

Nali makes her second dreaded call of the night. It goes to voicemail.

"Hey pops, retirement gag is over. I got something big brewing here, I'll go easy but I'm not gonna leave this alone. Sorry but I can't not do this, it's in my blood."

She hung up the phone, leant back into the sofa and let out a deep breath.

"Well, fuck."
