Wolf Problems Chapter Five: Here Comes Trouble

When Renae and Hazel left the party, the pair decided to go to a playground. They sat down on the two swings, and looked out at the night sky. Renae took something out of her pocket and offered it to Hazel. The girl didn't recognize what the substance was.

"Well, you want some?" Renea inquired.

"What is it?" That question made the blond laugh.

"It's weed. Haven't you ever had some?"

"No. We didn't really have a drug dealer at the orphanage."

In the end, Hazel reluctantly ended up taking the marijuana that was already rolled into a joint. Hazel coughed a lot at first, then her lungs settled down and got used to it.

The two girls were laughing for no reason within minutes. They were also paranoid about falling out of their swings, so they laid down on the ground.

"Renea, Renea… What if… We weren't though? What if we were never?" Hazel kept asking questions that she thought were logical but in reality weren't even in the slightest bit coherent.

Renea on the other hand managed to climb up one of the poles of the swing set and balance on it in a crouch position. "Hazel, I'm going to fly! Watch me!"

Hazel looked up at her. She stared at her friend in awe. When Renea went to jump, something caught her in midair. She went crashing to the ground while being held by someone.

The brunette stumbled wearily over to Hazel. When she got over to her, Hazel was right. Someone did catch her, and that someone came in the form of Aiden. Ethan stood by the opposite side of the playground and walked over to his twin.

Aiden stood himself up along with Renea. He kept a vice like grip on her arm.

Hazel saw the two and remembered Stiles had told her to stay away from the two Alpha's.

"Renea, we need to go now. Like SPCA."

Ethan and his brother laughed. "I think she means ASAP, and you two aren't going anywhere. Aiden, don't you think Deucalion would be happy if we brought these two back with us?" Ethan went over to grab Hazel by her neck and hair.

The alpha brothers dragged the two girls off into the night. There was no going back. Hazel was all too paranoid about the situation, and Renea was barely conscious. Aiden ended up having to throw Renea over his shoulder because she passed out.

My life hates me, was Hazel's last thought before she felt something hit her over her head causing her to fall asleep.

Hazel couldn't open her eyes, but she could hear the voices in the room. She also felt her wrists that were bound by chains hooked up to the ceiling.

"They should be waking up soon." It sounded like Ethan's voice. She wasn't too sure though.

Deucalion spoke next in a relaxed but dark tone. "And you just found them? Like a dollar bill on the ground?"

"Yes," Ethan answered him.

Hazel struggled to open her eyes, to do something. Her efforts paid off, because she managed to lift her head and speak. "Why?" Her throat was dry, and her voice was strained.

Next, she opened her eyes and saw Ethan standing in front of her. "Why what? Why are you here? Why do we have you chained up like this? You're going to have to be a tad more specific."

"Why did you take us?" Hazel now had her eyes fully open. She sensed everything around her better than before. Renae and Hazel were in a place with little lighting. It was definitely underground, and the floors were cement as were the walls. Deucalion and Ethan stood in front of the two girls, inspecting them, while Aiden leaned against the wall next to the door.

Aiden was the one who answered her question. "Revenge," was all he said.

"Revenge? Revenge for what? Did someone take your favorite chew toy?" Aiden walked over to her and punched her. A shiner started to form on her cheek. Hazel tried hard not to cry out or cry at all. She wouldn't give them the satisfaction of seeing her tears.

Ethan told her, "Revenge against everyone who has crossed Deucalion."

Hazel spit at his shoe. "That must be a pretty fuckin' long list then, hu?" Aiden jumped back, disgusted by her actions.

"Calm down, boys. I think we should keep our guests unharmed for the time being." He turned to Hazel and said, "You two are here for negotiation purposes only."

The girl tried to wrap her head around what was going on. "Fine, what do you want me to do? Negotiate with Derek?"

"Now you're catching on! And it isn't Derek necessarily, it's Peter. Derek is just a piece of the puzzle. You see-" Deucalion took his glasses off. "Peter has something of mine. Something that I want back. So, I'm using you, to get to Derek, to get to Peter. Is that a better explanation for your young mind?"

Hazel couldn't help the way she was looking at his eyes. Discolored gray pupils resting on a background of red. The brunette came to realize that she was staring at Deucalion for too long, so she quickly cast her eyes downward. Pulling herself together, Hazel asked, "What's Renae here for then? Scott doesn't have anything of yours."

Aiden shrugged his shoulders. "Insurance."
