Erica
There is no time for a love story.
These words won't leave my dreams. It's like they're teasing me. Derek and I can't be together because all of the crazy stuff that has been happening. Then, my dream transforms into a nightmare.
I hit Amy's head against the sink. I see blood spattered everywhere. She forces her head up to look into the mirror. I'm too late to push her head down, when I see why she's looking in the mirror, smiling mischievously. The kanima's scaly tail wraps around my neck, cutting off my air. I put my hands on the tail, trying to prevent it from adding more pressure on my windpipe.
Amy grins at me and wipes the blood from her face. The blood starts to disappear and the gash on her forehead starts to fade. She walks backwards and stands next to Boyd, Isaac, Scott, Allison, Lydia, Stiles. Wait, what? What are they doing here? They all look at me with blank expressions.
"Help me!" I screech, before the kanima tightens his grip on my windpipe, cutting off my voice. They all stare at me, not doing anything. The only person with a clear expression is Amy, she throws her head back and laughs like a maniac. Then Derek walks in and smirks at me. I'm paralyzed now, I don't have the ability to struggle against the kanima, or should I say Jackson.
"Little Erica, you just never learn, huh?" Derek says.
"Do you want to know the real reason I gave you the bite?" he asks, pacing back and forth, calmly.
"It's because I was in a hurry to recruit someone. Didn't you hear Scott? I just wanted some guard dogs, that's all. And then, you have these stupid feelings for me, all of a sudden? That wasn't a part of the plan." he says.
"There is no time for a love story." he says, standing in front of me.
He nods to the kanima. I look at everyone and they just stare back at me. Now, even Amy is speechless. I turn back to see the kanima with its claws raised, ready to strike. In one swift motion, he brings it down and…
I sit up, covered in sweat. It was just a nightmare. It's dawn, I judge from the light outside the window. Just go back to sleep I think to myself. I lay back down and close my eyes. But I can't fall asleep. I lay in my bed, with my eyes wide open. An hour passes and I decide to take a shower and brush my teeth, so I bring the clothes I plan on wearing with me into the bathroom. When I'm done, I put on my blue, torn-up, skinny jeans on along with a purple tank top and brown leather jacket, I tuck the tank top in and lace up my black combat boots and walk into my room.
I ruffle my hair up a little, and my blonde curls fall into place. I grab my bagpack and check on Kevin. He glares at me when I walk into the train and check if his chains are secured. I make my way over to the stairs and sit down and wait for the others. Boyd walks out of his rooms and sits on the step below me. He's wearing a green shirt, long denim jeans, and a gray jacket. If there's one thing we all have in common as a pack, it's that we love to wear jackets, especially leather jackets.
"You feeling okay now?" he asks.
"Yeah, sleep was all I need." I say.
"What happened when we were running out of the warehouse?" I ask, curious on how Derek and Scott handled all the vampires.
"I didn't really have a good look, but once Isaac had you and got out of there, Derek and Scott threw a few more punches then ran out, too"
"I swear, Jackson is going to get it." I say. Anger starts to bubble up inside me. If it weren't for him, everything would've gone right. He just had to help his friends and injure me.
"Slow down, you don't want to get your arm twisted again." Boyd tells me.
Isaac walks over and sits on the step below Boyd. I'm on the highest step, Boyd is sitting on the one below me, followed by Isaac.
"Thanks for getting me out of there." I say.
"No problem." he says as he messes up my hair. I giggle.
My ears pick up the sound footsteps from above running down to us. Whoever is walking down is still on the first set of stairs. We look at each and run to hide. It might be a hunter, if so we can't attack until we know that their intention is to hurt us. It can't be Amy, she is the stealthy type, she would've found another way to come in besides the only way, which is the stairs. I run over to the crates, and duck behind. I find a tiny gap and look through and see Boyd hiding near the construction supplies, and Isaac darting into the train.
The sound of footsteps become louder and I bring my claws out and keep my eye on the gap. Just a few more steps, until this person comes into view.
It's Derek, what the hell was he doing outside?
I stand up from my hiding spot and walk besides Isaac, who has left his hiding place too. Boyd walks up behind Derek.
"A dead body has been found in the woods, not too far from your school." he says.
Boyd, Isaac, and I exchange confused looks. Amy is definitely a part of this. Her and her coven will keep killing people, until we hand Kevin over.
"Who is it?" Isaac asks.
"I don't know, but you guys will." he says.
"What do you mean?" asks Boyd.
"At school, one of you are to ask Stiles if he knows anything about that. Since his dad is the sheriff." Derek says.
"Do you what's the cause of death?" asked Isaac.
"The police say they've found a scratch starting from the chest, all the way to the lower abdomen. The scratch consists of three aligned lines."
"So it was from claws." I say. He nods.
"There was also a wound on his neck. Four deep holes, which is a bite mark."
"Amy and her coven is responsible for this, right?" I ask.
"That's what I think." he says.
"The police department would think it's an animal attack, since the injuries is a scratch and a bite." Boyd says. Derek nods his agreement.
"So, I know murder is a big deal, but can we get something to eat?" Isaac asks.
Isaac
Boyd is off to his class already, he says he has to get their early to study for a test. Erica and I are just standing here, around the corner of the hallway, waiting. We made sure to do this in a place where the cameras won't see it, because if they do, we'll be sent to the office. Erica is for sure that she uses this way to get to class everyday. Erica sees her before I do and charges before I can stop her. She pushes Amy and pins her against the wall. A few people stare, but I send them all deadly looks, and they turn away.
"We know it was you." Erica says, she puts her arm against Amy's neck. Amy shoves Erica's hand off, Erica walks closer to her and I put a restraining hand on her shoulder and she stops.
"I have no idea what you are talking about." she says in a fake innocent voice.
"Cut the act, it was either you or someone in your coven that committed that murder." I say.
"I would do no such thing." she says in a fake frantic voice. Erica shoots her a glare and she just smiles back.
"We had a deal." I say.
"Your alpha had a deal." Erica and I look at each other, confused.
"He just said he wanted to make a deal, but no one agreed." she says, smiling proudly. "There's no deal. There never was." she adds.
Erica lets out a quiet growl, but I hear it and I know Amy does too.
"Don't be mad. You're the alpha's little soldiers, so go make sure he gets the message." her voice dripping in a fake, sweet voice.
"We'll make sure he gets the memo. But you know, it's too bad you'd risk Kevin's life." Erica says in an equally sweet, sarcastic tone. Amy tenses up when her captured brother is mentioned.
"I guess, we'll just kill him to teach you guys a lesson." she says.
"Let's not forget, he's still in that Lamia Bloom studded rope." she says. Technically, Erica is lying. We took the ropes off Kevin when we got back, but we did put some Lamia Blooms on the chain we use to hold him.
Amy clenches her jaw and scowls at Erica. She shoves Erica, and Erica springs forward, but I jump in the middle of them on time. A bunch of people are watching, eager to see a fight.
"What are you all looking at?" I say. "Mind your own business!" They disperse and walk away.
"Looks like the new girl and Erica are fighting over Lahey." I hear a boy snicker.
"Maybe they both like him." I hear a girl whisper.
"No wonder why Isaac and Erica are always together, I thought they were friends, but looks like it's something more." another person says. "The new girl must've been jealous." their friend says.
Erica hears it too, because she glares in the direction she hears it coming from. Erica is like a sister to me, so there is nothing going on with us. There never has, she's just my pack mate and we look out for each other.
"I'll see you guys later." Amy says in a friendly tone. Erica and I glare at her and she waves back, as if we're friends. God, that girl pisses me off.
"I wanna kill her." Erica says with a grunt.
"Tell me about it."
Boyd
We get into the car and drive off.
"Does Stiles know who the victim is?" Derek asks.
"George Fairfield." Isaac tells him.
"Stiles said he overheard his dad talking on the phone saying that it's not a homicide case. They have already determined it to be an animal attack." Erica adds in.
"The Argents are definitely going to take a look at it." Derek says.
"What if they think we did it?" I ask. If they think we did it, then they'll stop at nothing to kill us.
"Doesn't matter. Gerard isn't following the code anymore." says Derek.
"Gerard has been hunting his whole life. I'm sure he'll know that it wasn't a werewolf that killed George." he adds.
We pull up in front of the abandoned subway station. There is one boy and one girl standing there. The girl has fair skin and brown hair with purple streaks. The boy's hair is midnight black, and his skin is ivory. I knit my eyebrows together. Who are they? What are they doing here? Are they a threat? Erica immediately assumes they're a threat because she extends her claws.
"Relax. They're one of us." Derek says.
"What, you mean werewolves?" I ask. He nods. I'm not aware of any other pack here in Beacon Hills, let alone the whole state.
"I've never seen them around." Erica says.
"I bet you've heard their howls." Derek says.
"No, we haven't." Isaac says.
"They're both originally from San Diego. They were apart of pack, before some hunters killed their pack mates. They have no idea what happened to their alpha. They were scared, so they moved here hoping to find a pack. I ran into them when I was in the woods, looking for clues on the place George's body was found. I was also expecting Amy, she might be targeting people who hike around in the woods." Derek says.
"Are we just going to sit here, or say 'hi' to the new members?" Erica asks.
Erica
I like the new wolves. Technically, they aren't new werewolves, they're new members of Derek's pack. The girl, Frannie, is funny and easy to get along with. She can also be very sarcastic. The boy, Perry, loves to joke around and pretends to flirt with me. They're mates, and they've been through a lot together. Frannie told me that the hunters ambushed them when they were at her apartment.
The hunters tied them to a wooden pole and tied electrical wires over the rope they used to restrain them. They were forced to watch their other pack mates being tortured to death. The hunters electrocuted them, stabbed them with daggers coated in wolfsbane, and more horrific things Frannie doesn't want to mention. Their alpha managed to get out of the ropes and wires and freed Frannie and Perry. But for the other two members, it was too late. After freeing them, the alpha ran off. Frannie and Perry are clueless on where he is or what might've happened.
They are both good fighters, and don't seem to need much practice. They were turned into werewolves three years ago, making them more experienced than Scott.
"You told me you guys captured a vampire, where is it?" Frannie asks.
"It's a he actually, follow me." Derek says, motioning for them to follow, I tag along. Boyd and Isaac just stay outside.
We step into the train with Derek leading and me at the back.
Kevin scowls at both of them and lets out a warning hiss. Perry just grins at him, but Frannie looks like she wants to murder him. I thought that the whole war between vampires and werewolves was a myth, but I guess this proves it's real. Frannie stands in front of Perry and gives out a warning growl, a really loud one. Perry puts a hand on her waist.
"It's okay. His tied up, he's not going anywhere." Perry assures her. Kevin hisses again.
"He keeps hissing because he is as cold as a snake!" Frannie raises her voice.
"They all are." she adds. We go back outside because Derek wants us to train more, in case the hunters come after us.
"They are going to help me train you three." Derek says.
"I think it will be a good idea, if we pair up." Perry suggests. Derek considers this and nods.
"I get Erica." Perry claims.
"Don't scare her." Frannie says.
"Tell me if he does anything, I'll kick his ass." Frannie says to me. I giggle a little and nod.
"No promises," Perry says, and Frannie smacks his arm.
Perry has me stand at one end of the room, and him on the other. He tells me he'll let me know when to start.
"Go!" he says. Then I realize, I don't even know what I'm supposed to do. He charges at me. Do I just wait? Before I can ask anymore questions, my body starts running forward at Perry.
What have I gotten myself into? Just punch him when you get close enough. Yeah, that'll work. When we get close, I throw a punch, he ducks and slams his arm against my chest. The impact was so strong, that I fall flat on my back.
"I was expecting that punch." he says with a smirk.
"Oh yeah? I wasn't expecting whatever you did." I say. He laughs and offers me a hand. I take it right away and he helps me up. I look over at Derek and find him watching me. He quickly turns away. Was he jealous? Stop thinking about him.
I turn back to Perry.
"Let's do that again."
Isaac
Frannie sends a kick, but I use my arm to block it. She turns and kicks me again, catching me off guard and hitting me in the groin. I suppress a groan and turn and karate chop the back of her knee, to make her fall, but she must have expected that, because she blocks my hand and punches me in the face. She's really good at this.
I take a step back and move my head out of the way as she sends a kick. I think these kicks are her signature move, because she looks like a twirling baton, moving her feet swiftly. I keep taking a step back as she sends a kick over and over. I look for places to hit, but her feet is in the way. I feel something at the back of my feet and fall. Shit. A triumphant smile is over her face, she offers me her hand and I take it.
"If that's how you fight, then we're going to need a lot of practice."
Boyd
I put all my strength in the punch I send flying to Derek's face. I feel my hands hit the air and realize Derek dodged the blow. I turn around and receive a punch to the gut. He swipes, but I duck on time. I grin when I manage to scratch his upper abdomen, he looks down at the wound and watches it heal. I take advantage of this and kick his head. Before he has time to look up, I kick him in the balls and punch him in the face.
I try to hide my smile when I see his nose bleeding. It's hard to hide a victory smile when you've just managed to make your alpha, who the strongest and most lethal wolf of the pack bleed. But victory isn't easy to earn, because Derek quickly gets behind me, and when I turn around he elbows me in the nose. Blood trickles down.
"Now we got matching wounds."
This is going to be a long night.
I added two more members in Derek's pack! What do you think of them? I do not own the "Alpha's Little Soldiers" idea. I got it from a picture on tumblr and thought it was a good idea to use it, since Isaac, Boyd, and Erica are the betas and carry out Derek orders. So they're like his little soldiers. Anyways, thanks for reading, and reviews will be appreciated! (:
