Hey everyone! Although I normally cannot update this often, I had time and thought I would update today :) I will get to the other characters but since it is Aria's POV and she's friends with Stiles and Scott, there might be a bit more of scenes with them. Let me know if you're fine with that or if you would like me to vary the POV's :) Also let me know if you would like Olivia POVs :)
Enjoy!
ARIA POV
I got in the house and just prayed my dad wouldn't ask any questions. I needed to sleep to just take a break from everything.
"Aria," I heard my dad say as he came into the foyer.
"Hey Dad," I said with a smile.
"What happened to your clothes?" he asked and I began to wonder if I had blood anywhere.
"Um, Stiles pushed me a bit too hard my mistake and I fell," I said as he lifted his eyebrow, "In the garden."
My dad just nodded but I could tell he didn't fully believe me.
"Aria, do you have the knifes I gave you?" he asked. I did my best to stay as calm as possible and tried my hardest to stop my eyes from widening. I looked up and it felt as if he knew everything that happened tonight.
"Yeah, it's somewhere I'm sure," I said as nonchalantly as I could.
"Somewhere?" he asked almost annoyed I was so ignorant about the subject.
"Dad, I'm not planning to take knives to school every day," I told him and he nodded but technically that could change.
"Ok well I found the case in your room empty," he said and I was annoyed with that.
"You were looking in my cupboard?" I said more shocked than anything.
"Those knives are very special Aria," he said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Well it's been in the family for years," he said as if that was the answer.
"Do you use it for hunting?" I quickly asked him.
"Aria-," he said.
"Does it have a special poison in them?" I said thinking back to what Aiden said.
"Why would you ask that?" he said a bit taken a back.
"I… just want to know what you're hiding from me," I said.
"I'm not hiding anything from you," he said.
"Yes you are and I'm going to find out what," I said determined.
"Aria," he said concerned, "Some things are better off not being found."
I knew he wasn't going to budge anytime soon but I thought of the symbol.
"Does our family have a family crest?" I asked him out of the blue and he seemed confused with the complete change of conversation. "Well we're doing heritage in history so we need to know about the heritage of our family."
"We used to have a crest but we don't use it anymore," he said.
"What does it look like?" I asked him. It must be the same symbol on the dagger.
"It doesn't matter," he said.
"Dad-," I said.
"I said it doesn't matter," he said strictly and I knew to leave it. Something was definitely going on.
"Fine, I'm going to go to bed. I feel a bit tired from the day," I said.
"Ok, goodnight Aria," he said.
"Goodnight dad," I said as I turned around.
"And Aria, don't worry about everything ok?" he said.
"Ok," I said but there was no way I couldn't. Not after everything that happened this evening.
When I got to my room, I quickly took the knife out of my bag and rinsed it in the bathroom. Despite the blood being dried to the knife it just slid off.
"That was weird," I said looking at the knife that was now gleaming in my hand. I dried it and put everything back into its place. One thing was for sure, as my dad said, there was something very special about these knifes and I needed to figure out what it was.
I felt drained from the night but felt I had to shower before I could sleep. It was like I wished the shower would magically wash off the horrible night I had had. I stood under the shower just replaying tonight's events. I had lived in Beacon Hills for my whole life, why were strange things only happening now? I couldn't find a reason. Or you don't know the reason.
Soon enough I was in bed. I tried calling Scott but he didn't answer. I sent him a massage saying I hoped he was ok but I was a bit worried because he was acting different. Soon enough I couldn't keep my eyes open and I fell asleep.
I jolted myself awake for what seemed to be the sixth time from the constant nightmare I was having. It was either Aiden, Stefan or Ethan trying to kill me. I looked at the clock and decided I was better off awake then attempting sleep. I decided to get dressed and ready for school. I headed down to the kitchen to have a good breakfast which was strange since I was always running late. After a while my dad came into the kitchen.
"You're up early," he said.
"Yeah," I said surprised too.
"Oh I wanted to give you this," he said as he handed me a box.
"What's this?" I said with a smile. I opened the box and saw a beautiful locket. I could see it was extremely old yet it still looked brand new.
"I want you to wear it," he said.
"Why?" I asked him squinting my eyebrows. My dad was not the type to just surprise me with things.
"Because your father is obsessed with good luck charms," my mom said as she entered the kitchen.
"It will bring you luck and I think you could use some," he said with a smile.
"Really dad?" I asked him. My dad would never normally say something like that. It was slightly out of character.
"Yeah," he said as he went to put an arm around my mom.
"Ok," I said putting it over my neck. It was a long one and I loved the way it looked and if it help my dad lay off of me a bit then what could the harm be?
"Ok, I'll see you guys later," I said as I left.
When I got to school the parking lot was quite empty. I was really that early. I sat in the car trying to figure out if I could find out what the symbol on the dagger went. After a while the parking lot started filling up and I noticed Stiles park. I got out of the car and went to speak to him.
"Have you seen Scott yet?" I asked him.
"Not yet," he said.
"That's an interesting necklace," he said staring at it intensely.
"Yeah I don't think it's any necklace, my dad gave it to me this morning and said I have to wear it," I said, "Something is definitely going on."
"Yeah I know, I was trying to find things out but I-," he said stopping and then began typing on his phone.
"What?" I asked but he passed me his phone.
They can hear us and they're watching us.
I looked up to see the Salvatore brothers lingering stares on us.
"Great," I said sarcastically. I saw their friends calling them and they walked away.
"What do you mean they can-," but Stiles covered my mouth. What the hell?!
He typed another message. They don't need to be in a close range either. Each one's hearing varies but they have to be locked on you.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Yeah," he said convinced.
"Hey guys," I heard Scott say.
"Scott!" I said hugging him glad he was ok.
"I was so worried about you!" I said.
"Yeah buddy, don't do that again," Stiles said hugging him too.
"I'm sorry guys," Scott said feeling a bit bad, "But, well, I got bitten last night."
Both my eyes and Stiles widened at him in shock. We knew he wasn't messing with us.
"What? What do you mean?" I asked him and he lifted his shirt to reveal an animal bite.
"What the hell is that?" Stiles asked.
"I don't know man," Scott said but I could tell it was causing him pain.
"You need to go to a hospital," I said.
"So they can find out we were in the woods?" Scott said and he was right.
"If it gets worse thought you'll have to go," I said not liking the idea of Scott walking around in pain.
"Yeah ok," he said.
"Wait, you have lacrosse tryouts today," I said, "You can't do try outs with that."
"I'll figure something out," he said stubbornly.
"Scott!" I said like his mother would.
Just then the bell rang.
"Class is starting," Scott said walking away.
"We'll talk about this later," I said and then as I went through my books I noticed I was missing one.
Oh crap, I forgot my one book in the car.
I walked to my car to get my book but was blocked by someone.
"Aria," Aiden said with a smug smile. My eyes widened and I could feel my stomach drop. He looked perfect as if nothing even happened last night.
"Aiden," I said slightly scared but I knew I had the knife in my bag.
"Look I'm sorry about last night," I said because although I didn't like him, he didn't attack me last night. In fact I had attacked him, I guess I owed him an apology. He looked at me confused.
"You're sorry?" he asked puzzled.
"There was something after me in the woods and I just attacked whatever was there," I said, "I won't tell anyone what happened."
He looked at me hard and then said "I believe you won't tell, but I don't believe you know nothing."
"All I know is that I stabbed you and somehow you're standing in front of me," I said.
"Which is not possible right?" he said with another sly smile.
"No, it's not humanly possible. Clearly it is actually possible," I said referring to him.
"So you do know something," he said coming closer.
"No, it seems I don't know anything," I said because I really had no clue. I had no idea how he was standing in front of me.
"What are you?" I asked.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"Well last night you-," I said.
"Aria!" Scott shouted running to stand next to me, "Are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine Scott," I said happy he was there.
"You," Aiden said with a strange look while Scott looked at him and I swear I saw a flash of red in his eyes.
"I'll see you around," Aiden said as he walked off.
"Scott his eyes," I said hoping I was just imagining.
"You saw it too?" Scott asked.
"Yeah," I said, "How did you know to come here anyway?"
"It's odd it's like I could feel your fear," he said.
"What?" I asked him not understanding.
"Like I said it's weird but I was right," he said.
"Yeah let's just get to class," I said but my head was wondering how Scott knew where to find me.
