Please read the author's note at the end. It's important.
Erica
"Good job," Perry tells me when I take him down, unexpectedly.
He's a good teacher. He taught me along of things, like tricking you enemy into thinking that you're going to do an obvious move, when in fact you're doing something different. Physical strength may not be my specialty like Boyd, but Perry says my agility is will make up for it.
Now, I feel absolutely confident that my skills with help take Amy and her coven down.
Boyd
I slam Derek against the train, which shakes from the impact. He grabs my hand that holds onto his neck and kicks me back. Training has been going on for about two hours now, and I don't think anyone wants to stop. Frannie is teaching Isaac how to send a deadly kick, Erica managed to take Perry down, and Derek and I are basically fighting, using all the moves we know.
"Derek," Perry calls. Derek turns to look at him.
"I think that's all for the night, they've trained enough." Perry says.
Derek gives a look that says 'I'm the alpha, I say when you stop.' look.
"And everyone needs to rest. We can't take on a bunch of vampires if we're tired, right?" Frannie says. "Everyone needs to sleep, even werewolves." she adds. Derek finally agrees and we go to our rooms.
That Saturday morning, everyone woke up in a good mood. Derek managed to find a room for Frannie and Perry, which they were thankful for. The whole pack agreed to eat breakfast together, and come up with a plan on how to stop the vampires from killing anyone else.
At the Diner
"I'll have some bacon and eggs, please" Perry tells the waitress and she nods and scribbles it down on her notepad.
"You need to slow down on all that oil and grease." Frannie tells him.
"Sorry, but I can't. Every man should have his bacon, right guys?" Perry asks the other males that were sitting at the table.
"Don't drag us into it." Boyd says, Frannie smiles at him, but Perry sends a glare his way.
"So, are we going to talk about slaying vampires, or what?" Erica asks Derek, boredly.
"Can we at least finish our food first?" Isaac asks.
"Yeah, can we? Then, we can discuss the issue at hand?" Frannie suggests. They all look at Derek for the answer. He sighs and nods.
When their food arrives, the wolves eat in silence. The only sound that occurs at the table is Perry's occasional slurp from his drink.
When everyone empties their plate, Derek breaks the silence.
"Since it's the weekend, we should keep watch at night." he says. There's mixed reactions throughout the table, Erica is up for it since she learned some new moves from Perry, Isaac is not so sure, Boyd wants to give it a shot, Frannie is weighing everything out, and Perry wants to do it.
"Where are we going to keep watch?" Frannie asks.
"Near the woods." Derek answers.
"Makes sense, since the murder happened there and Amy and her coven may be targeting hikers, to make it look like an animal attack." Boyd says.
"Looks like we have a long night ahead of us,"
Erica
I put my hands through the sleeves of my back hoodie. I pull the zipper all the way up, and smooth over the wrinkles that have formed from being folded and tucked away for a while. I chose to wear black jeans and a black jacket, because the last thing I want is to get in trouble with the police, who might think that I am a robber.
I tighten the strings on my combat boots and walk outside to wait for the others. Derek has divided us into three groups: Frannie and Perry (since he refused to be separated from her) Isaac, Scott, and I, and Derek and Boyd. He says this way, there would more people to patrol, and he thinks that me, Boyd, Isaac, and surprisingly Scott aren't ready to go alone. He chose to take Boyd with him, since he impressed him during training.
Derek walks out in a black t-shirt and regular long, denim jeans along with boots.
"Where is Scott?" I ask.
"He said he'll meet us at Beacon Hills High School." he replied.
Boyd and Isaac walk out also in black clothing, and we patiently wait for Frannie and Perry. About fifteen minutes later, they walk out. Perry has on black running pants, and a black t-shirt with a hoodie attached at the back. Frannie is wearing a black tank top with a black blazer over it, and black sweat pants.
"Shall we leave?" she asks politely, knowing that she's not the one in charge of calling the shots. Derek nods and we walk upstairs and get into the car.
We pull up in front of the high school and Derek parks the car in the staff parking lot. We get out and gather around.
"Everyone remember what to do?" Derek asks. We all nod.
"If you spot Amy, or any member of her coven, do not attack alone. Howl and we'll all meet you there, does everyone understand?" Derek asks, making sure they all know what to do. In response, there's a chorus of 'yes' 'yeah'.
"Isaac and Erica, even though Scott isn't here, you guys can start patrolling around the school. Do not go into the forest until you guys are with Scott, okay?" Derek asks. We nod.
"You two are good fighters, so you can patrol the woods, but stay close together." he tells Frannie and Perry.
"You don't have to tell me that, I already know." Perry says as he links his fingers with Frannie's, and she looks up at him with a smile.
"Good. If you see anyone from Amy's coven, signal us and we'll be there." Derek says. The pair nod and walk off.
"You, stay close." he tells Boyd. Boyd nods.
Since he's done explaining everything, I nudge Isaac with my elbow and we walk around the school keeping an eye and ear out for anything strange. We're in the student parking lot when we hear rapid footsteps, like someone in a hurry. Isaac and I hide around the corner of the building and the footsteps get louder. The pair of feet is coming closer… BAM! I knock into this school night walker just as he or she is about to take a turn. I don't get my claws out, because it might just be the maintenance guy, checking on everything.
"Get off!" Scott says. Whoops.
I get off and offer him my hand, it's the least I can do for tackling him down.
"Sorry." I say. "It's alright." he waves off.
"Now that you're with us, we can patrol the woods." Isaac says, Scott nods.
Frannie
"Shhh," I say to Perry, who keeps talking about what his favorite French dish is.
"Relax Fran, it's just an owl," he says.
"Well, I couldn't hear because someone kept yapping about how much they love Tarte flambé," I hiss. He chuckles lightly.
Our relationship isn't your typical love story, it was quite screwed in the beginning. Perry is the jokester, who loves to trick others while I'm the serious, but kind one. It's like we balance each other out.
I remember when Brock, our former alpha, found me in an alley, beaten to a pulp, by my crazy asshole of an ex-boyfriend. It was when I caught him cheating on me, and when I confronted him about it, an argument started, and then it went from words to fists. He knocked me out, after the beating and put me in the car, drove to the alley and threw me out like a sack of potatoes. It was dark, so no one saw him dump me there.
Brock woke me up, asked me what happened and said that he can help me.
"What do you mean? I'm as good as dead." I say.
He has a worried expression on his face, but why? Noone cares about me. Noone. That's why I was left here to die.
"No you're not. Don't worry, just hold on." suddenly his eyes glow blood red. What the hell? Before I can ask, I feel intense pain on my torso. I open my mouth to scream, but his hand quickly clamps over my mouth. He pulls away from me and his fangs, wait fangs? Did he bite me?
"What did you do to me?" I ask.
"A gift." he says in a calm tone.
He picks me up and takes me to an apartment, that becomes my home and what felt like a real family for the next three years.
Thinking of Brock makes me worry. He saved me and Perry's life and just vanished all of a sudden. San Diego is flooded with hunters, and we were their main target. Derek told me that hunters here go by a code, which is that they don't kill any werewolf that hasn't been proven to spill human blood. The hunters back home should've gone by that code, because it was basically a free for all.
Thinking of all of this, makes me appreciate where I am now. I am grateful for Derek taking me and Perry in, and I will stand by the pack and protect Beacon Hills from any threats. I grab onto Perry's hand and smile at him, because we're in this together.
There you go! Please leave a review (: It was fun to tell Frannie's story, so I hope you enjoyed it! Perry's favorite French dish is made of thin bread dough which is topped with onions, bacon and some amount of fresh cream. Anyways, please don't forget to review! (:
