Lunarian - Hello, I'm sorry to hear that :( Tell your brother that I hope he gets better, and that I'm glad he enjoyed this, just as you did as well! Here's another chapter just for him to get better :)

Paramorefreak100 - I know, I was getting bored of writing Tala so young and simple, so I made her age a lot, but don't worry, she will be a badass girl ;)


The next day, Valda walked out her bedroom to see Tala at the kitchen sink, rubbing her arm. Tala turned round to Valda and moaned, "Mum! This paint refuses to come off!" Valda chuckled and walked over to her, "Well, it would help if you went the cloth." Valda did just that then rubbed gently. After that, she then grabbed a bit of kitchen roll and rubbed the water off. "Its faint, but it will come off." Tala groaned at Valda's sentence and walked into her room. Valda chucked the cloth near the sink and the used kitchen roll in the bin. At that moment, Derek walked out and hugged Valda from behind. "Care to explain how our daughter is now a teenager." Derek mumbled.

Valda turned round in his arms, wrapping hers around his neck. "Her werewolf and vampire powers must have aged her at the same time, causing extreme pain and to age her to sixteen. She might age a year or two more, but Helenus told me when I was pregnant to expect this." They finally detached and Derek sat at the kitchen counter, watching his mate. He noticed Valda wearing simple blue jeans, a blood red vest top and a lightweight, flouncy light brown cardigan. Valda grabbed two bottles full of blood when Derek asked, "Why has Helenus left anyway?" Valda put one bottle in her bag, then the other in Tala's bag. "She hates staying in one place to long. She loves to travel, yet hates a lot of drama."

"Also because Isaac is now starting to get close with Allison." Derek said. Valda nodded slightly but said nothing. Tala walked out her room, wearing black tights, tight Aztec print dress that was blue, purple and white, completing the look with purple pumps. "Now you are my..." Valda started the sentence. "I'm your cousin who just moved from England to here because of personal reasons and living with you." Tala said in a monotone voice. Valda nodded then asked, "Where's your daylight ring?" Tala held up her hand, the ring on her thumb as it only fit on there.

The girls then walked towards the door, Derek opening it. Tala left first and after giving Valda a quick kiss, he shut the door, the girls heading to school.


Once they arrived at school, Valda parked the bike and shut it off. Tala climbed off first then Valda. They headed inside and went into the office, where Tala compelled the woman at the desk to be enrolled and have classes with either Valda or her friends. When they were done, they turned the corner to see Scott talking to the twins then walked to Stiles. "Mu-I mean, Val, why did Scott tell Aidan and Ethan to stay?" Tala asked after overhearing their convocation. Valda simply shrugged, "Don't know, but follow my lead." Valda winked and they both stalked up quietly behind the twins. Valda then cupped Aidan's ears as Tala did the same with Ethan, speaking loudly at the same time, "Don't eavesdrop!"

They let go and laughed as the boys turned round with smirks. "Haha Val...so, who is this?" Ethan asked. "Hi, I'm Tala, Val's 'cousin'." Tala said with a smile and waved. The twins understood the code and nodded. Scott and Stiles going them and the first thing Scott said was, "Hey Val, who's this?"

"This is Tala, my 'cousin'." Valda said the word cousin slowly, till the boys understood and waved at Valda's 'cousin'. "So, who were those freaky dudes at the party last night?" Tala asked. "They are called Demon Warriors. Stiles and I leant them from Chris Argent, so went up against one eighteen years ago, around our age. They attacked a group of Japanese people during a deal. However, I don't think they are after me." Scott trailed off as he looked down the hall, the others followed suit as they followed his stare, to see Kira at her locker.

The bell then rang, signalling the start of first class. Valda turned round to see Stiles looking pale, "You okay?" Valda asked. Stiles shook his head and replied, "No. I'm going to the hospital and see what is wrong with me." Valda nodded and watched as Stiles walked past her then down the corridor. Valda then walked beside Scott, Tala beside her and the twins behind her. "What's wrong with Stiles?" Valda asked Scott. Scott sighed softly and replied, "He thinks that he wrote a message on the blackboard when the criminal, Barrow, was here. He feels like he got Kira in danger and gave equipment to kill." Valda frowned at the reply and kept thinking about it, ending the convocation and walking into their first class.


When the day ended, Valda walked to her motorbike as Tala jogged towards her. "Sorry, Aidan and Ethan wanted to show me what 'good music' was." Valda chuckled as she grabbed the motorbike's keys. "And? How was it?" Valda asked. They put they bags inside the compartment at the back of the motorbike when Tala replied, "Noise." Valda chuckled, grabbing her phone as it started ringing. Without checking the caller ID, she answered it. "Hello?" She asked. "Val, its me. Come to Scott's house now. The sun is setting so hurry up." Derek said quickly then hung up. Valda stuffed her phone in her pocket.

She climbed on her bike and Tala followed suit. "Where are we going?" Tala asked loudly over the motorbikes engine. "Scott's house, your dad is there. Its urgent." Valda replied then drove out the school car park and down the road. After ten minutes, they reached the house and parked the car. Valda looked to her dad's house, not seeing any lights on or the car on the drive, so Valda sighed in relief that he was safe. The girls then made their way to Derek, who was crouching in the bushes. "What's happening?" Valda asked.

"Scott arrived home with Kira. His dad is there right now." Derek said. They then saw a car park up and the door opened, to reveal Melissa. A few minutes later, they heard a crash. "Here we go." Valda mumbled and the trio ran to the window. Derek jumped in first, then Valda followed by Tala. Valda saw a warrior and kicked him high and from the right, making him stumble into Derek who grabbed the warrior and chucking it out the house. Valda whirled round to see Aidan and Ethan jump through the window.

Tala tried to throw a punch at another warrior, who caught the fist and pushed her away. She backed into Aidan's chest, who grabbed her by the arms from behind and lifted her up so she was horizontal in the air. While there, Tala straightened her legs out with force and kicked the warrior in the face, stumbling into Ethan who did the same as Derek. Melissa then ran towards the door, activating the house security system and pouring Mountain Ash on the door step, keeping the warriors out. Melissa then went to Scott's dad, who had a wound on his shoulder.

Melissa applied pressure to it and said, "His wound is bad. Must have ripped a tendon and could have a collapsed lung. He need a hospital." Valda ran her hair through her hair and saw Kira walk towards the security panel, placing her hand against it, which sparked and drew her hand away. Aidan walked up to her and asked her, "What are you? Is there more of your kind?" When she didn't answer, Aidan grabbed her hand and placed it against the panel which sparked again. "Your obviously Supernatural." He demanded. Valda walked up to him, placing his hand on his arm to stop him. From behind, Derek spoke, "She is a Kitsune. The young ones have an aura that they haven't learned to conceal yet. She probably doesn't know what kind of kitsune she is."

Aidan slowly let go of Kira and Valda let go of his arm. Scott then spoke up, "I'm convinced that they are not after Kira."

"Kitsune is a trickster spirit, I could be tricking you Scott." Kira said. "I have seen bad guys Kira, you are not one of them." Scott said in frustration. After a few seconds, a guilty looking Aidan spoke, "I wasn't going to harm her, I want to protect Scott, as does Ethan. We want to fight for him." Derek simply sighed, "I have no doubt you want to fight for Scott. But I don't know if you would die for him." Valda was about to stop a slowly growing fight when they heard banging.

Tala ran to the panel and looked the screen, seeing the warriors pounding against the barrier and starting to win. "Mum, dad, they trying to get in and...I think they are succeeding." Valda ran to the screen and looked, seeing the same as Tala. They jump away when the door burst open, two warriors standing there. "Do nothing! No one make a move!" Scott shouted. Derek looked confused and looked to his mate, who had the same expression, but obeyed anyway. The warriors walk towards Scott and Kira, their eyes glowing. They then branded the couple making them fall to the ground.

Valda watched as the warriors disappeared in a gust of black mist. Everything was a blur after that, as Scott left to go to the hospital to see Stiles. A ambulance came and picked up Scott's father. Valda watched the scene, confused as to why they were simply being branded.
