CHAPTER 2: LIANNA'S STORY
Liam was afraid. She should be here, she was supposed to, so why wasn't she? Hayden wasn't the kind of girl to just skip history with Mr. Yukimura, right? There must be a reason for her missing it. What if she wasn't feeling well? What if she was dying? He could not let that happen. Not after all he had been through to make sure she stayed alive, alive with him. Without thinking about the consequences he reached for his bag and ran out of the room, not listening to Kira's dad shouting his name.
...
Lianna was afraid as well, but for another reason. She was about to face Scott for the first time, the boy she heard so much about. She found out where he usually spent his lunch break thanks to Liam and his curiosity. Of course she had to tell him some details about her to get those informations, but she held back some things that weren't meant for his ears. All she had told him was the truth, though: her dad was a hunter, drawn here by the work that Beacon Hills could give him and his two brothers, her uncles John and Paul.
Swallowing her worries she entered the cafeteria, her eyes searching for her new pack. Soon she found them at a table at the end of the room, all of them were there and she knew all about their supernatural identities: Scott, Stiles, Malia, Kira and Lydia.
Lily took one last deep breath before putting on a confident smile and closing the distance to the pack's table.
Hey guys, she smiled while sitting down on the free seat next to Lydia. She looked straight into Scott's surprised dark eyes, one brow raised as if he waited for an explanation. Acting all natural, Lily started eating her salad as if she never sat anywhere else.
Ähm... Sorry, but who are you and what are you doing here? Stiles broke the awkward silence her action caused.
Am I not allowed to use this free seat? Lily asked with a naive and sweet voice, slightly offended she looked at Stiles
Ah yeah, sure, I mean... I guess
Or did you want to talk about something I am not allowed to hear? You know about how to get rid of some weird docrors that found a way to immortality or something. I mean what do I know.
Her voice still sounded sweet, but more intense this time.
For a moment there was silence. Lily could hear their hearts beat a little faster.
What are you talking about? Haha immortality? Scott tried to act like her words were supposed to be a joke, even though everyone knew it wasn't...
Oh sorry, I must have gotten it wrong, guess I'm looking for another Scott McCall. There must be another supernatural pack in this room, I just thought it was you.
It was Stiles to break the silence that followed once again. WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?
Lily's eyes met Scott's when she finally answered the question everyone was asking lately: I am Lianna Ravens and I want to be a part of your pack..
So, are you... Um... You know... A...
A werewolf? No, I am not
Stiles seemed to be getting quite annoyed with her answers that left nothing but more questions open. Then what are you doing here? I am not going to ask again, so if you could be so kind tell your whole story this time.
Okay, I will, but this might take a while.
Lily took a deep breath to underline her words, my dad he is a hunter and he and his two brothers have come here to take care of the supernatural the nemeton is bringing to Beacon Hills.
So you're here, because you want to kill us?
No, if you would let me continue, like I said the story isn't exactly a short one. I am here, because I want to help you protect the innocent ones. You, Scott, have never killed and I believe there are more out there like you. My uncles, on the other hand, they are being taught that all that isn't human is bad.
And your dad? It was the first time Kira has said anything since Lily had sat down on their table.
My dad used to think so until he was proven wrong 18 years ago. He met a supernatural woman and instead of killing her, they fell in love and received a girl a year later. But 10 years ago the woman was attacked by a werewolf and died, because of the wounds he gave to her.
Lydia and Scott asked their questions the exact same time.
What was she? A werewolf?
Who was the one that killed her?
You might know the wolf I despite the most: Deucalion... And I saw him, I watched him killing my mother and enjoying it. Lily's voice weakened, so she swallowed and waited a moment before she answered the question she knew would come: she was a Demara
A what now? Stiles' face was easy to read, he had never heard that word, just like about every human ever.
To Lily's surprise it was Lydia to answer his question and it left the darkblonde speechless for a second.
A Demara is a controller of the four elements, fire and water and earth and wind.
Lily finished Lydia's explanation, nowadays commonly known as witch..
...
Hayden was tired and she didn't want to continue, but Brett left her no choice and in the end it was her fault. She had asked him to teach her how to shift and how to control her newfound wolf-powers. But she was hungry and the sun was starting to set on the horizon.
Again.
I can't.
Try.
I am trying. Hayden was getting frustrated, who was he to boss her around anyway?
Try again and this time for real.
She was pissed off. As if she didn't know already that she sucked at being a werewolf. She felt the anger and the frustration spread through her veins until she heard Brett's voice.
You're doing it, Hayden, you're doing it!
The freshman looked down on her hands and smiled releaved when she saw that he was telling the truth. Her fingernails had turned into thick weaponized claws. Suddenly all the hate was gone and she started to laugh out uncontrollably.
Brett looked at her with joy, maybe she wasn't hopeless after all. Her laugh, that sweet childish voice in his ears, made him grin and without him allowing it he joined in. Somehow he took a liking to Hayden, not that he would ever admit this to anyone.
...
I'm really sorry about my bad English, but I hope you can look past that and just enjoy the story. I've got so many ideas so please be patient with me and stick with this story :)
