BHHS - Night
00:00 - 21st Jan 2013
"Urh" Scott said, Stiles piling up behind him. He had just pulled off an impressive roar into the P.A. system. Derek was there, looking at them in a sort of resigned amusement, while also so was Harry.
"That was AWESOME" Stiles sing songed. "Oh wait, why are you here Harry?"
"He heard you, don't ask me how, or when it happened, but he's new as well - only he doesn't feel like we do," Derek said. "He just introduced himself by shouting BOO in my ear."
"That's Harry alright." Scott noted with a smirk.
"I think I lost ten years," Derek said dryly. "But then he let in on the fact he was bitten almost his first night here."
"Then, the next moon will be your first." Scott said, "I have chains."
Derek rolled his eyes, he did not agree with Scott's Modus Operandi there in the least.
"Urh... no thanks" Harry said, "I'll be fine."
"You all think that until you feel it the first time" Derek said, "I was the same and I was born this way."
"Trust me; I'll be fine" Harry said, "But urh…what the fuck man?"
Scott smiled, "I urh…called in the Alpha, right?"
"Oh I'll bet you did" Harry said, "Now what is stage two of your cunning plan?"
"We trap it, and we kill it." Scott said.
"Why?"
"For revenge, and to free me from the curse," Scott said firmly.
Harry frowned, "I see." He said, clear distaste in his tones, "You think that is a good reason do you. Never mind the innocent lives he's taken, or in some cases plain old fashioned scared stupid. Or ruined with a bite, it's all about you."
Scott flinched, visibly, "Urh…"
"That's what I thought, you're better than that Scott, I know you are, or I wouldn't want you to be a friend. So you kill the big bad Alpha, but you do it for the RIGHT reasons. We are the Strong," he said his eyes livid, "Do you know what the strong do in reality, WHY we are strong?"
Even Derek shook his head.
"To protect those weaker than us, without our gifts, or curses; you were bitten, boo hoo, you got super powers, I bleed for you." Harry said witheringly, "Now you either murder in cold blood for freedom in a selfish act, or you do so in protection, but this is nothing more than premeditated murder, be aware of that before you do it. If you don't think you can do it…I'll do it for you, I've done worse, and will always do so, because I am the Strong, and I am here to protect those than cannot, will not able to fight things such as this uncaring sire of ours."
"Sorry" Scott mumbled.
Harry nodded, "There's the man I thought you were." He said seriously. "So, you've set the field of play, this may look like an animal, but it is NOT, he may seem to appear to prefer the lycanite form, but he doesn't always look like that. He's a man, one of the most deadly predators on the planet despite the fact we are not even CLOSE to being a real deal Apex. Because we can think, we can use tools, and so can the alpha. So you'd better be aware you've chosen the battle field and invited him onto it. Now you need to use it!"
"The Cafeteria, right, wide window, it's big it's fast, doors, windows, they won't stop it, so we invite it in to a field of our choosing?"
"Better" Harry said with a soft smile. "Now frankly gentlemen, I don't want to spend all night on this. Tempe is waiting on me, and frankly she's not wearing all that much. This is NOT something I intend to miss for any amount of time, so we do this, and we do it quick. I will make the killing blow."
"I should" Derek said stepping forward.
Harry looked at him, "Oh yes, and why shouldn't I wonder." He said, "Frankly I don't know you, I barely know these two clowns and I already know I trust them more than you Mr Hale. I've read your mother's diaries you know, she truly was an alpha who deserved the title…so why do you wish to land the killing blow, to follow in your mothers footsteps, or perhaps just to take the power."
Derek subsided, "Then why do you want to do it."
"Because I can and not lose sleep over it. If Scott does it, it will haunt him. I've already killed one or two monsters, another won't make a difference to me…besides, and I've got a hot bed and a hotter woman to go home to, to console me, tonight at least."
Derek smiled slightly, "You're not like any teenager I've met ever."
"I'm not like any teenager you've likely met" Harry nodded, "Because I'm aged before my years. I'm a hundred years old in the inside, where it doesn't show."
"It's showing tonight" Stiles said with a jittery sort of humour that said he would very much like Harry to stop being scary Harry now.
He flashed a smile that made them all relax, "Besides, he isn't going to die tonight."
"How so"
"Because he's listened to our every word and is in the verge over there…" Harry said pointing behind him. There was just no physical way he could have seen the Were, and it was hiding until he was pointed out. It then stood tall and roared, skulking off into the shadows. Harry sighed, "An Tempe tends to get REALLY pissy if she'd forced off the boil." He said to the sky.
He strode passed the amused look Derek and the shocked looking Stiles and Scott.
"Is he seriously for real?" Stiles asked.
"Oh you don't get realer than him" Derek said with feeling. "I dunno what he is, but he is NO wolf"
"No – something scarier" Scott said with a sure tone; "Something much, much bigger and more powerful than a wolf."
Derek nodded, "And something no wolf would ever cross."
"Stop being cryptic, what is he?" Stiles finally said with a sigh.
"He's something big cat, dunno what, but it's possible. The bite, it sort of brings out the inner you at times, he's no wolf, and he's far too cocky for that as well. I'm betting a lion or something like it."
"Feels about right" Scott said in agreement, "We better follow him; something tells me he's done this before."
Later, BHHS
"Does it look like they broke into anyone else" Allison said, once more looking at the odd text from Scott. It wasn't his voice, odd as that might sound on a text, it didn't' feel right, and now more than ever did she want to find out what was going on.
"We should report it, we should definitely get out of here" Jackson said, their ride of the night.
"No" Allison said firmly, "I'm going to find out what's going on."
"I'll come too" Lydia said, not even glancing at Jackson.
The two gorgeous girls got out of the sleek German sports, walking to the cut padlock on the door.
"I've seen this movie" Lydia said, "It didn't go well for the girls."
"Every horror movie cliché in one place," Allison said with a smile, and then added, "And the plot of one of the better lesbian porn's I've watched."
Lydia froze, "What?"
"What?"
"I said what first"
"Did I just say that out loud" Allison said with a wince.
"Oh – yes you did" Lydia said with a growing smile. "Is there something you want to tell me Allison?"
"No…unless that is interest I hear in your voice" Allison retorted to Lydia's total stunned shock.
"N…N…Maybe"
Allison shot her a smile of pure in the heart wicked. A thrill rushed throughout Lydia's body, and she actually blushed at the look on her surprising friends face.
Then Allison turned back to the door, releasing Lydia from the spell she had effortlessly conjured. The to that point, thought she was straight as an arrow woman, gave the other woman an admiring glance, jeans may not be the sexiest wear in the world, but on a girl like Allison, fitted like that…they left little to the imagination. Lydia shook herself, unable to believe where her mind had just gone.
"I think Harry is a bad influence on me, on us all."
"We've barely known him a couple of days." Lydia added seriously, "Personally, with you, I'm starting to realize what's actually happening is that he's bringing out something that was always in you. I'm starting to want you to break up with Scott, to see where Harry takes you."
"Perhaps into that movie Lydia," Allison retorted.
"Well…perhaps, but only if it's the three of us"
Allison smiled that wicked smile; on her usually angelic face it was shockingly alluring.
"Talk of the devil himself" Allison said turning back, "Harry!"
The man in question stopped dead, and then quickly walked over to them, "What in god's name are you two doing here?" he glanced back at the car. "Oh and joy you brought the twat."
"That IS my boyfriend."
"You are so wasted on him."
"Is that an offer?"
"If you're talking sex – Hell Yeah, if you're talking relationship, Hell No." Harry said with no preamble.
Lydia blinked, and then burst into laughter, "That's upfront!"
Harry shrugged, "I make no secret of what I am" he said, "If you hate me for it…I understand."
"Hate is not the word" Allison said, looking at him steadily, "But I need to find Scott, he texted me."
"Oh, did he, no I'm afraid not Allison, you've just been embroiled in something I wish you hadn't been. You go grab the twat, Allison stick by my side, while we watch over those two." Harry said his tone taking on a note of total command that even Lydia sprang to obey. Allison got a lot closer, looking at him steadily.
"What" he asked looking into her eyes without flinching. She just continued to look at him for a long moment, undeterred by this show of confidence. "You are NOT what you appear to be" Harry said finally. "And thank god for that."
"What does that mean?"
"Tempe has a theory about you," Harry freely admitted, "I'm now almost certain she's right."
"And it is?"
Harry smiled, "We think you're a real freak in bed, and frankly we like that in a woman."
Allison blinked, her mouth gaping, "You did not just go there"
"Oh – but I did"
"You have a nerve, I've got a boyfriend."
"I don't believe I propositioned you, merely stated an observation," Harry said confused. "Now if I said to you that I would, at any point, like to find out for myself – well now, that would be a proposition."
"I thought you liked Scott"
"Oh I do, and I only said IF Luv, don't get your knickers in a bunch."
"I should slap you"
"You won't"
"Oh and why is that"
"If you touch me, you won't stop." Harry said firmly, "And we both know it. It's the main reason you don't like me, not because I can be an asshole, or frankly more than a bit blunt. But because you feel conflicted and you're taking it out on me, despite the fact I have yet to make any actual real move onto you, and I won't while you're with Scott."
Allison retreated.
"That said, if you make a move on me…I will not be held responsible."
"Ahh it's the twat and his amazing girlfriend, look listen up twat, you do as you're told, you do it when I tell you and how I tell you, or else you'll tick me off and you will NOT like that." He paused his eyes flashing a little, "Now if you want your car safe, you need to go park it clear the other side of the lot."
"Right, right" Jackson said, folding like a deck of cards. He swiftly moved off.
"Girls go the cafeteria, Scott and Stiles are there." Harry said seriously his eyes on the low slung car. They were glittering strangely, and a half smile was on his face.
Lydia looked at him seriously, "What did you just do to my boyfriend!"
"What makes you think I did anything?"
"Because your mind really is a scary place; you feel in your element right now and from what little we know of you saving Temperance, that element may very well be dangerous. There's no real reason for Jackson to park over the other side of the lot, and unless you were planning something you wouldn't be here to watch what happens."
"I'm here to make sure he doesn't get hurt – that I can and will promise you."
Lydia nodded, "Well good."
"Still, you are So wasted on him."
"Of that I'm aware," she said with a grin, then took Allison's arm and led her away from her glaring contest with Harry's back of the head.
Ten minutes later he dragged the grumpy Jackson into the room and shoved him into a chair. They were now all in the cafeteria. "This ups the odds" Harry said by way of hello.
"Doesn't it just," Derek agreed.
"How do we do this without giving the game away," Scott asked.
"Honestly, you don't even try. You try to do that and you WILL lose her." Harry felt he had to warn him. "Be honest, tell her everything and she may very well see things tonight that will very well lend credence to your words."
"I…dunno if I can do that."
"You're either sure of her, or you're not, this is a choice only you can make, but you need to make it pretty much now." Harry told him seriously. "In a way I'm lucky, while Tempe doesn't actually know what I can do, not even as much as you do, she doesn't even give a fuck, she just likes me anyway. How much remains to be seen I suppose." His pocket buzzed.
"Talk of the angelic looker" he said flipping the phone, "Hey, sorry about this I may be l...what text…no I didn't, where! No wait, you're walking into … a trap" he said watching a mini pull into the car park. "Fuck" then he saw movement off to the side, "Double fuck, so much for the subtle approach." He said running at the window.
"Wait no…"
SMASH
"He just ran THROUGH the window."
"I think he felt he didn't have time to use the door."
"What sort of person just runs through a window instead," Stiles said, clearly in awe.
"Scary, scary mind" Lydia said walking up beside him. Allison was right beside her, and they watched as Tempe got out of her customary car, and a huge black form loomed up behind her. There was a snap sizzle of electric feeling and suddenly Harry was just there in front of it.
The tableau held as Tempe leaned back against her car, holding her heart, her contrasting eyes wide and stunned into a stupor by what she was seeing.
It was at least seven foot tall fully extended like that, massively powerful jaws, canine snout and Harry was all that stood between her and some of the nastier Hentei she'd read.
"Go now Tempe" Harry said his voice tightly controlled, but oddly calming to hear, "Go into the window I made a nice hole for you to get into, Scott and Stiles are there, Lydia and Allison too."
"Kinky"
Harry laughed "Now isn't the time Luv, I've got him under control for the moment," he said without breaking eye contact, "But I can't force anything until you're safe. Please, just go"
"We're going to need to talk about this, and you deserve yet another life saving reward. I've only just got my jaw in the right shape after last night."
"Dear god woman I adore you but if you don't do as I say right the fuck now I will spank you rosy!"
"I'm going, I'm going, but you had BETTER follow through on that."
Harry smiled, never varying his gaze from the large Alpha in his net. He was always very aware of Tempe, and had been since the moment he'd seen her, but right then he heard everything from the creak of her patent leather heels to the metal stud at the end of her heel grinding into the tarmac. He could hear the swish of her skirt, and knew without a shadow of a doubt that she was positively gushing currently.
He held the big Lycan like being for a few moments after he heard Scott and Stiles helping her into the Cafeteria just to be safe.
Inside was quite another thing. Allison and Lydia were watching spell bound, "What…why…urh…why isn't Harry dead" Lydia finally asked, "I've HEARD it's possible to control an animal even a big one with sheer force of will and charisma, but I really didn't think I'd meet anyone who could actually do it" she said answering her own question.
Allison swallowed hard, pressing her thighs together, something that wasn't missed by Lydia, "You too huh" she said in a low aside, ignored for a moment while the men folk seemed ready to leap in when Harry made a mistake. Something he just plain didn't seem to be doing currently.
Allison nodded, her eyes intent on the scene outside, it was the most oddly erotic thing she'd seen in her entire life. He was turning out to be the single most erotic thing she'd seen and already he haunted moments that normally she reserved for her time.
During these times she thought of certain men, some women, and most of them famous in some way but since she'd first seen Harry that day, well he was a recurring vision for her.
"I don't care to beat around the bush ladies" Tempe said from suddenly being beside them and privy to their private conversation, "I'm positively dribbling down my thigh here."
All three nodded their agreement, but luckily no one was taking much notice, all intent and interest was on Harry.
Harry suddenly straightened up, seeming somehow to suddenly tower over the Were, there was a massively bright flash, a huge bang and the Were ran off whimpering. Harry quickly turned tail himself and got back into the window.
He met their eyes, then made a motion of his hand and repaired it with a weird backwards smashing motion. He made a classic SHUSH motion with his finger and winked at the ladies in particular.
"You glorious bastard" Tempe finally said, "You utterly awesome being."
"Steady girl, you're going to my head."
"I'll be going for head alright, until your balls implode, and the sooner the better." Tempe shot back.
"That might take a while, it's been a bit for me Luv" Harry shot back no hint of a blush the others were sporting. He was well used to Tempe and her attitudes towards sex.
"I am so in for the long haul Luv"
Harry looked at her, "That's new then"
Tempe winced, "Ouch"
Harry winced as well, "Sorry"
"No, no, I deserve that and more. I put that edge into you Luv, for good reason, but I find I don't much like being the wrong end of it."
"You very rarely are" Harry said with an odd note of fondness, "I'm a little ticked off in general right now Luv, didn't mean for it to explode all over you."
"Baby I'm all for exploding all over me, you know I enjoy that."
Harry laughed a dirty sounding laugh that made Allison shift uneasily. Harry noticed, "Enough now though, not everyone here is ready, or able to handle us flirting."
"Who's flirting, I'm being perfectly serious."
"I know, I was just trying to ease … some into your world view Luv."
Tempe shrugged expressively as if to say, fuck them if they don't like her. Something she had always been like and that he did adore about her.
Something he'd strode to adapt to himself and his ways in fact, he wasn't entirely sure he had been successful, since it kinda hurt when he caught the looks Allison shot his way. Of course, sometimes with growing frequency those were becoming much more interesting in content.
"I don't think he's coming back Scott, sorry I messed up your plan" Harry said a few minutes later.
"What isn't coming back, we all saw it, now I want to know WHAT I saw." Lydia said firmly.
Tempe looked at Harry seriously, "You'll tell me later?"
He nodded firmly, "Good enough for me."
"And us" Allison said, "Will you tell us as well, at the same time in fact."
"Well that's tricky" Harry said slowly, "Since I pretty much intended on making her very happy with the biggest orgasm I know how to pull out of her first, to put her in the right frame of mind. But I'm game if you are."
Allison flushed, then her eyes lit up wickedly just for a flash, until she saw Scott frowning at her. "You're a pervert aren't you?"
"Not especially" Tempe said, "He's kinda vanilla actually, unless we're talking stockings, then he get's kinda kinky"
Allison frowned, but filed that away for reasons she didn't want to think about.
"I think we should call it a night, before anyone gets hurt" Scott said carefully. "And I think maybe, you should not be around for a couple of days Harry, let everyone calm down a bit."
"Fair enough mate"
Allison was the one that looked to be ready to argue the point, "You'll tell us then?"
"Urh…no, no I can't do that, I don't actually know much myself." Scott said.
"Pussy", "Meow", this came from Tempe and Harry respectively
"I really think you should go now" Scott said firmly. "You obviously need to talk"
"He's right Luv, we do"
"I know, but he's still being a puss." Tempe said walking long leggedly across to Harry and folding her arm into his so they were linked, "Want a lift Luv"
"Kinda have to; I ran here"
They walked out, bantering good naturedly, which was a far cry from the way things felt inside the cafeteria. "He ran?" Stiles said into the silence that descended like a shroud.
BHHS – The Next Day
"You know..." Harry said startling Allison rather badly as he suddenly appeared behind her. "You and I are supposed to be avoiding each other. I'm finding this difficult when you dog my every step. Perchance, you will tell me what you want, so I can go back to doing as I was asked by YOUR boyfriend."
Allison turned, a remark on her lips, losing it entirely when she met his eyes, she was in heels that day, a fair bit taller than normal. Something Harry had dearly noted. Her legs were simply sublime in truth and frankly it was a real shame she appeared to hate his guts, perhaps he was even right as to why – and wouldn't that be fun eventually, but right now she was strictly look, but don't touch. But boy did he ever want to.
"I want to know, I NEED to know"
"Talk to Scott, right now I'm in no mood to deal with your…frustrations."
"Not getting any at home" she snarked.
Harry met her eyes, "Frankly that's rarely been a problem and with Tempe, well- it just never happened, but I sent her home last night, and for good reason. It's turning out to be dangerous here in numerous ways. I told her the details she wanted to know, and then we kissed and I flew her back home."
He meant that personally and literally, something he'd been well and truly rewarded for at her place on arrival, and the offers during the flight may well have killed them both. They had actually agreed not to try to continue what they'd had before. They both knew this was unfinished business between them, and would be until they resolved it, but now was not good timing – for either of them.
Again, Harry was hurting, and this time it was about her also, only this time it wasn't anything she'd done wrong. If it had been the first time in point of fact, He missed her; it was that simple at the end of the day.
Having Allison in his grill, was not something he needed that day, and he was half a second away from either snogging her into stupor or snarking her into one.
Her eyes flashed in retaliation to his words, and yet again, he spotted that little niggling hint of pure wicked in her heart that frankly he wanted to see more of. It wasn't an evil sort of wicked, he knew that well, this was the Tempe style of wicked and Tempe had been ALL for him going for Allison. According to her, Allison was pure freak where it counted, and what's more she wanted Harry in a big way.
Only trouble being she was denying this part of herself, and being a good little girl, with a steady good solid boyfriend and didn't look to be coming out of herself imposed shell anytime soon. Frankly Harry wasn't sure it was worth it, until he caught that flicker again, and then he knew – yes it was. "Look, talk to Scott, this isn't really my place."
"He will not tell me, he keeps telling me to talk to you."
"That rat bastard" Harry said with feeling. "And yet told you to leave me alone for a few days I shouldn't wonder."
"Maybe"
"And yet you're not"
"No, and I know Lydia wants to know as well."
"Well now that's a bit different. Lydia doesn't have an in to the spook squad, not yet, maybe ever. So you send her to me."
"But not me!"
"And not you" Harry said with what he felt was pretty well hidden glee and infuriating her further.
"Look, Harry, I need to know – my family…there's something not right there, and everywhere I turn there are more and more secrets and no one is what they appear to be!"
Harry dropped the façade right then and there, "Fine, you made the only argument that would work." He said finally, "Come with me."
Allison smiled slightly, a rather alluring half smile, as alluring as everything the girl did in reality. He found her stupidly attractive, and if he was the man he'd been before Tempe she would have him wrapped around her little finger without trying. Shit, it was working anyway, even with Tempe's edge, and all her lessons on the opposite sex and how to be the one doing the twisting around the finger thing.
Allison followed him into an empty classroom and smirked as she looked around, "This must be the first time you've entered this room. I don't know if you've heard, but there is a new Art History teacher, and she seems to be getting annoyed and your constant no shows."
Harry shrugged, "What possible use could I ever have for art history?"
"I dunno, you're rich, don't the rich buy art?"
"Yes, but I would hire someone that knew what they were talking about, and more importantly I would only buy it if I liked it, not just to have it!"
Allison nodded, like this had confirmed something to her, what was a mystery to Harry currently, "It's like this" he said, then launched into an erudite, informative, and in depth description of the supernatural as he could in the time he had.
"Now it makes sense, and Scott – he's a Werewolf? That explains how he's so good on the field."
"He uses his abilities … for field hockey!"
"Lacrosse"
"I honestly don't care" Harry said with feeling, "I'm sorry but that's cheating."
Allison frowned, "I beg your pardon."
"He's well in advance of anything any team can field against him. That's not just unfair it's outright wrong. I am so going to have a word with him about this."
"Urh…" Allison blinked; he actually made a lot of sense. It WAS cheating. It's actually totally unfair as well. She hadn't seen it before, just thinking it was cool the way he danced around the field, but now…now she didn't like the now what she was thinking.
Harry waved it off, "He'll see the sense; he's a good man at heart."
"Yes, yes, he is" Allison said slowly, like she was convincing herself.
"Failing that I'll take a spot on the opposing team"
"So, you're one as well!"
"Didn't I get to that, sorry its new still getting used to it."
"Yeah, kinda glossed over that, so…a Werewolf, I mean… that's cool right."
"One I'm not a wolf, thank god for that, I'm not a dog person ya know, and secondly it's not cool, well – it is, but it's more than that it's a dreadful responsibility. If I lose control at ANY point, I could slaughter this ENTIRE school, no one, not the sheriff, not Scott and not Derek would be able to stop me. Because of what I actually am, and thank god for it, I am way more personally powerful than a pack animal like them.
"I also have a strong family unit, but in the wild I'm the one that protects it, and the only one that protects it. I fail and they lose their cubs, and then roll over for the next powerful male to come along and I will be thrust out into the wild to die! That translates into personal power for me; it means that I'm FAR more powerful than either Scott or Derek, perhaps both of them together, maybe more.
"So, I don't have the luxury of stalking you lot around the school when I'm feeling freaky, I can NEVER for a single moment lose control because you are ALL on My territory and I would protect it there and then, and with finality."
He took a breath, "I'm a lion shifter Allison, I don't fuck about with posturing, and I go in for the kill, there and then. You ever see My eyes turn red, you fucking run my darling woman, you fucking run for the hills and don't look back."
Allison sat back, aghast; horny as fuck, and in awe at his impassioned speech. "I don't think you'd hurt me"
"I think you're a fool then"
She smiled, "Not me" she said sounding sure.
"You think you're special?"
"We both know I am" she said with a very feminine smile.
"Get over yourself" Harry said striding out of the room.
Allison smiled that incredible wicked smile she rarely let out to play, but when she did that entire part of her personality came with it. Then she sobered, and made a life changing decision, right there and then.
So – he wanted to play, only she was forced to wear gloves while he went bear knuckle…we'd see about that. Perhaps it WAS time to let that side of her out again, life sure had been fun for a while when it had made itself apparent and one of the few times they had moved not because of her father's work, but because they had been very directly asked to do so.
But she had a better handle on it now, and a direction that…could be a lot more fun than playing with jocks had been. She looked at the door, a flicker of sadness entering her expression.
She and Scott were sweet, and it would hurt to break up with him. But…she felt something epic while Harry was around, and it was between them. She deserved to explore that, even if it meant losing a good steady man in the process.
Decision made, and a growing laundry list of reasons to do it listed in her mind, Allison went looking for Scott.
Later, Different Classroom
Allison walked into the room to a bit of a quandary. She wanted to talk to both these men, and right now she wasn't sure what the best order was.
"Ahh Allison, it appears there is a slight addendum to our earlier conversation." Harry said seriously.
"Hey, I said no"
"She has to know"
"Before you get into that, I need to talk to Scott," Allison said making up her mind.
"Urh...sure" Scott said, slightly heavily. He'd had a feeling this was coming since he'd seen the way Allison was looking at Harry that first day. It wasn't even that long ago, he had thought he'd have longer.
Allison led a wary Scott out of the room, only to appear some ten minutes later, pushing a tear out of her eye, careful not to mess up her makeup in the process.
"Bad talk"
"No, just a hard one" Allison said, and then shook it off with difficulty, and sat in a way that drew Harry's eyes to her legs. Then to her eyes, then back to her legs, before he turned and looked out the window.
Apparently, he felt it was just best not to look. She needed him to know it was fine; he could look where he liked. In fact she fully intended on encouraging that in the morrow. She wasn't yet ready to go ahead with her plans for Harry.
Scott and their breakup had hurt more than she'd realized it would in such a short time. Love could've come, but it hadn't just yet. She had a feeling she wasn't going to miss out on the emotion. It wouldn't be a classic romance with Harry, but love wasn't going to be an issue. She didn't know how she knew that, she just felt it deep inside.
"Right, well, Scott has just informed me of something I think you should know" Harry said still looking out of the window. "Your family, you expressed concerns, something about secrets...well I think I know what it is." he said, then turned and looked at her.
"There are some wolves and some supernatural threats that are indeed threats to humanity. You family is the oldest on record hunting family. They've been hunting those who would hunt humans for a long time now, perhaps hundreds of years. The latest crop includes your mother, your father and perhaps even your aunt who I know is coming to town."
Allison was gobsmacked, just sat there, not really reacting yet. "They are doing a good thing for the most part. They have some sort of code, but that's all I know right now. Give me a couple of days and I can find out more for you - if you want me to?"
Allison looked at him, the earnest expression on his face and had to smile slightly, "Yes; please do that." she said nodding. "I need to know what's going on, and at least that explains why my father goes out at all times of night with a lot of men and guns. He works as some sort of weapons consultant I know that much, but that doesn't explain why he needs so many other tooled up men."
"No" Harry said simply, "and obviously you've noticed the weirdness. I'd say that speaks to your intelligence."
"Thanks…I think," she said then laughed slightly, "This is a never ending rabbit hole." She commented.
"You have NO idea yet Allison, you really don't. I've been involved with the supernatural since I was born in reality, but more since I was eleven years of age. Even now I don't know a tenth of the weirdness that inhabits the world, and I don't think I really want to know it all." Harry said seriously.
"That said, forewarned is forearmed, so I've been thinking of setting something up to make sure I know what's going on, especially around here. This network will include knowing more about your family. So give me those days and I'll be able to tell you more. Argent though, that alone is a telling name I feel."
"Why?"
"Don't you know" Harry said looking at her strangely, "Argent, pronounced differently, is French for Silver."

Last Bell - 22nd Jan 2013
Allison, Lydia and Stiles stood watching as Harry was chatting to one of the many cheerleader types he seemed to talk to.
Some were innocent flirtations, some were more serious, but either way Harry had something that women of all ages, of all types liked and Stiles was fascinated to know what it was, so perhaps he could copy it, and get what he most desired out of life, the redhead beside him.
That said, he was very aware that currently what she most wanted was the man making the blonde cheerleader laugh.
"What I want to know is how he does it. Last night we were against a horrible beast, and today there he is flirting like nothing happened," Lydia said.
"I'm more interested in having some of that in my life," Allison admitted, "But I've decided to at least give Scott and me a grace period, a time where I won't actively do anything about my interest in Harry."
"I think that's good" Stiles said seriously, "He's pretty...broken up."
"I know, but better to end things now I think"
"I agree, but it still hurt" Stiles replied, he liked Allison, she was a hell of a girl, and if not for Lydia, he would likely fall for her instead. That said he knew Scott had been falling for her, but he'd known as Scott had that Allison's head had been well and truly turned by the Brit amongst them.
"So; not today" Lydia asked as Harry was left alone, her lips quirking slightly.
"Not today" Allison confirmed.
"Good" Lydia said, tossing her hair behind her head, she thrust back her shoulders, hiked up her skirt a little more and strode to Harry.
"What..." Allison said agog.
He and Lydia talked, then Harry slammed the redhead against couches office door and kissed her senseless, quickly the strawberry blonde worked the handle and they disappeared from sight.
"She did NOT just do that!" Allison said like she couldn't quite believe what she'd seen. "What the hell did she say anyway?"
"I was reading her lips" Stiles said fondly, "She said - hell yes."
Allison shook her head, "I cannot believe she just did that!"
"I can" Stiles said with a fond smile, "That's my girl, 80% evil on any given day."
"That doesn't bother you at all," Allison asked, knowing how he felt about Lydia.
"Oh - of course, but I have a plan, and it's actually ahead of schedule thanks to Scott and you." he said with a sanguine smile.
Allison shook her head, "This school and everyone in it are WEIRD!"
