This chapter and the next chapters might be longer due to my time and classes. Happy Reading.
Scarlett answered sitting back in her seat. Stiles entered the address in the GPS. "Okay, please from the beginning tell us your story so we're all on the same page." Stiles said looking in the rear view mirror.
"My dad was full wolf from eighteen generations in Romania. He met my mother on a trip to England with my Uncle Ian. My mother was half vampire and half human. He fell in love with her but they couldn't be together because vampires and werewolves are mortal enemies." Scarlett checked her phone for a message but again she had nothing.
"So what happened?" Scott asked. "My dad left his pack, his family to be with her. They moved to Texas and lived peacefully until they tried to have a child. My mother got pregnant and on April 21 she gave birth to a monster. I killed her." Scarlett began to cry. She thought about how she lost both parents and never meeting her mother. "Being both vampire and werewolf I had this incredible thirst for blood as an infant and I drunk from my mother and she died."
"Not images I want to remember." Stiles said absent-minded interrupting Scarlett. "Stiles." Scott yelled. "I'm sorry I feel you I really do but how can you help us with our Alpha problem?" Stiles said. "Scott's not an Alpha?" This confused Scarlett because everything about Scott screamed Alpha. "No, I'm not. Derek Hale is." Scott told Scarlett. "So what is the "Alpha problem" you need help with?" Scarlett asked. Stiles cleared his throat and began to speak. "They showed up about two weeks ago. We're not sure what they want but we have to keep the town safe. That means we have to team up with Derek Hale the only Alpha."
"He's not the only Alpha. I'm an Alpha." Scarlett said. Scott turned his head toward Scarlett to make eye contact to show trust. "Great. You can help us get rid of these guys." Scott said. "So what else can you do since you know you're both?" Stiles asked. "Like what's fact and what's fake." Scarlett said. "Yeah just to be sure." Stiles said. "Okay well let's see. I have fangs, four on the top and four at the bottom. Stiles looked in the rear view mirror to get a look at them. "There retractable Stiles." Scarlett said sensing he was looking for them. "I have a reflection and a shadow. Obviously sunlight doesn't nothing to me, holy symbols also non effective. I can fly and I have mind control, that's all for my vampire side" Scarlett said. "I have the same werewolf strengths as Scott just stronger."
"So what kind of car are you going to get, a hybrid? Stiles asked smiling. Stiles joked to lighten the mood from all the talk about death. He still wanted to know how her father died since she blamed herself. "You know I was thinking more of something like a jeep. I love how yours." Scarlett said snapping back.
They drove up to the Mercedes-Benz dealer ship. Stiles parked the car and they all exited the Range Rover. "So you're getting a Benz? Stiles asked not shocked after he seen what her house looked like. "I didn't know what the car would be until we got here." Scarlett said. "Hey boy you want to go for a run, come on boy." Scott said to Rocky running with him.
"Come with me. I want to show you this." Scarlett said to Stiles as he debating on following Scott. Scarlett and Stiles walked up to a man wearing a white button down shirt with a name tag that read Ben. "How can I help you guys today? Wait. Where are your parents?" He asked.
"Oh Ben where not related." Scarlett told Ben. Scarlett looked directly into Ben's eyes. "I'm here to trade in this Range Rover for a new… G-Class SUV. You are going to get me the keys and let me leave with the car with no problem." Scarlett wasn't kidding about getting a jeep like Stiles. Of course her jeep had to be a Mercedes. "Wait right here while I get you the keys to your new jeep." Ben said.
No more than five minutes past and Ben drive up to where Stiles and Scarlett waited. Ben exited the new all black jeep and gave Scarlett the keys and took her old ones. Scarlett shooed Ben away and checked out the new jeep with Stiles. "So what do you think pretty cool right?" Scarlett asked getting in the jeep. "Yeah, in an evil mind forceful way." Stiles said unimpressed getting in the passenger seat. "I didn't hurt him, he doesn't feel anything. I just told him what to do. I'm just doing what I was told to survive." Scarlett shot back.
"Hey what I miss?" Scott said letting Rocky in the back seat before he got in. "Stiles thinks I'm evil." Scarlett said pulling out of the dealer ship. "You didn't have to mind thing him, you could have just paid for the jeep." Stiles said pleading his case. "Where's the fun in that?" Scarlett said sarcastically. "Well did the mind thing physically hurt that guy?" Scott said. "Nope Scarlett said popping the p. "Stiles it didn't hurt." Scott stated. "I know but free will and all that." Stiles said.
Scarlett was becoming more vexed by the lack of understanding between her and Stiles. Scarlett looked at Stiles and smiled. "I won't do it again unless need I to." Scarlett promised Stiles. "That sounds good." Stiles said with a more understanding tone.
The car ride was silent for most of the drive back. Neither Stiles nor Scott said a word to each other or Scarlett. Rocky was far off asleep with his head on Scott's lap. Half way back to Beacon Hills Stiles remember he wanted to ask Scarlett about her dad's death. "Scarlett?" Stiles said. "Yeah?" Scarlett asked. "How did your father die?" Stiles asked cautiously. "We were attack by a group of hunters. We got out and we were almost to the highway when they tailed us. The car flipped and my dad was pinned. The hunters used wolf's bane and mountain ash. The wolf's bane did nothing to me but the mountain ash made me weak. He made me leave him there. He couldn't move and I couldn't save him." Scarlett started to tear. "So I run and they killed him and I became an Alpha." Scarlett finished.
"We're really sorry about your dad." Scott said being sympathetic. "Thanks, I still have an Uncle when he decides to show up." Scarlett joked. "One more question. Why do they want to kill you in the first place?" Stiles asked intrigued.
