CHAPTER 3: WITCHES AND WOLVES

This chapter is a little bit longer than the others, because I didn't know where to stop. I hope you don't mind.

Pease tell me your ideas and thoughts on the story and my character, Lianna. Have fun :)

Kira, Malia, Lydia, Scott, Stiles.

They all looked at her without saying anything for what felt like centuries to Lily. Malia, surprisingly, was the first one to continue the conversation.

So your mom was a witch... What does that make you?

Exactly the same, I am a Demara, a witch if you prefer that term, but I am also trained in hunting and killing supernatural creatures, not only werewolves. So if you want an honest answer: that makes me a weapon you might want on your side.

...

Liam has had no problems following Hayden's tracks deep into the woods of Beacon Hills. The fact that he didn't smell any blood or pain made him relax a little bit, but when he finally saw her he shook from surprise and anger. There she stood, close, too close, to none other than Brett. He tensed up immensely as their laughs reached him.

Why did he come here? He was probably going to get detention for leaving class and she.. She was busy flirting with his arch nemesis. Well thanks, Hayden.

Without saying anything he left, but Brett had already smelled the young wolf. His laugh got even louder when he realized Liam was the boy Hayden talked about earlier, even though she had refused to say his name. Brett couldn't have been any more content in this moment. To him Liam was an annoying little boy that almost cost him his position as lacrosse team captain at Devenford prep. So little angry Liam was in Love and Brett now had a plan to make him pay.

...

Scott wasn't sure what to think of this girl. She was pretty, she was nice, she seemed to tell the truth, but yet he hesitated. Stiles, however, didn't.

So what? You just come here, tell us your story and you're in? Well, no.

Stiles looked as his friends, gesturing. All of these humans... people... creatures have risked their lives for one another. That's what makes us a pack, you see?

I do, but you don't seem to see that this is what I'm trying to do. I could have just moved here and helped my family extinct your kind, you know. That would have been so much less complicated, but, no, I risk everything by talking to you. If my uncles found out I was supernatural or protecting some I'd be as good as dead.

They... Lily could here the surprise in Kira's voice... They don't know what you are?

No, my dad was afraid they would forget about the blood we share. I'd be just another creature that has to be killed. So he kept me and my mom as a secret.

Lydia reached over to gently squeeze Lily's arm, meaning I'm sorry without using any words. That was more than the others said or did and she could feel the tension grow uncomfortably. And Lily sure didn't like getting that kind of attention, or any other kind, actually. For today ahe has had enough. Lily didn't like it when, in moments like this, she was vulnerable. Already she had told too much, letting someone in wasn't something she was comfortable with.

I'm gonna go now. See you around.

With a pretty fake smile she stood up, leaving the pack behind. Not that she was expecting it, but still it felt weird that noone tried to stop her from going. And there, for the first time, Lily was wondering if coming here had been a mistake she was going to regret. Stiles was right, she had to earn her place, she just didn't know how to do so.

...

Brett looked at Hayden with an honest smile and he didn't even know where that came from. He just liked the way she just stood there, showing him she could control her claws. Somehow she didn't get bored of it and all of the sadness he had smelled earlier was gone. Hayden noticed the look on his face, but she mistook it for boredom.

So what do I learn next? She asked curiously, wanting to know all there was to know.

I think that's enough for today...

But...

Hayden, we've got more than enough time. Let's not rush anything, okay?

Hayden mumbled Something Brett couldn't understand so he just continued to talk: hey, you really shouldn't push you new abilities. Let's get you back to your original strength before I teach you more about the supernatural.

See you tomorrow then? She asked excitedly, looking at him with a goofy smile.

How about meeting up tomorrow after school at the lacrosse field?

Umm... Yeah. Sure. I'm gone then.

Before realizing what he was doing, Brett reached out for the (next to him small) girl and pulled her into a hug. She just starred at him with her eyes wide opened, but then relaxed and smiled while tightening the hug. After a little moment she pushed Brett away softly and waved goodbye as she headed back to Beacon Hills.

...

Lily was on her way through the hallway, not sure where she was going though. In her thoughts she was replaying the terrifying memories of her mother's death the conversation had brought up.

Hey, watch where you're going! A familiar voice screamed when Lily bumped into someone.

I'm sorry, Liam. Lily apologized as she looked up into his blue eyes, anger written all over his face. Are... Are you okay? Look, I'm really sorry. I should have watched my steps. It's all my fault.

Liam looked at her surprised as if he hadn't seen her there before. No it's okay, I... I should have watched my steps.

He didn't seem like his mind was in school like his body was and Lily had never been someone to ignore problems of any kind.

Come on, sweetie. Tell me what's wrong. She gently squeezed his shoulder, now standing close enough to feel his body shiver slightly.

After having an inner fight about whether or not to let her know, he cleared his throat. Hayden.

Hayden what?

I saw her. In the woods. With Brett.

His eyes wandered off, just talking kind of like a robot.

Yeah... Umm... Trying to put the pieces together, yet she still wasn't really aware of what had happened. And who is Brett?

Liam let out a little growl while he repeated that obviously hated name and explained his past to Lily.

Lily was just about to comfort him and say how all of this was nothing but a misunderstanding, but something... actually someone... pulled all her attention away from the poor sad Beta.

She turned around only to stare at a handsome young man with dark eyes, black hair and a confident perfect but kind of arrogant smile.

Lily, you're staring. Stop staring... Lily!

It was Liam's voice that brought her back to Reality.

Huh? What? Umm... Yeah sure. She took a deep breath, still staring. Who is that.

Rolling his eyes and sighing annoyed Liam answered without actually wanting to. That's Theo Raeken.

There's something about him,

something... You know...

Something hot? Gorgeous? Unbelievably muscular? Pick one you like. He would rather continue to talk about his problems than watch Lily adore Theo. Stupid Theo. He surely never had to do much to make every girl chase him.

Evil. There's something bad about him.

No doubt that Liam was surprised with her answer. No, he's alright. He's just like me, a werewolf trying to fit in, and all he wants is becoming a part of Scott's pack.

But I am nothing like you, wolfie. I am a witch and I can do so much more than you can imagine just yet. I can feel as well as see his aura, it's incredibly. Incredibly strong. It's not like anything I've ever seen before, purely black. Liam, let me tell you this: Theo Raeken is bad to the core.

How about getting to know him before judging?

Believe I do not want this guy around and neither should you. So better tell him to leave you guys alone.

Why don't you tell him yourself? Cause this is your chance, he's on his way over to us.
