Hello there!

So, it's been a while I know but I was honest when I said I get ridiculously busy!

A little background on Rylee; his full name is Rylee-John Anthony Valentine. He wasn't born in Beacon Hills, he was born in a small town in Washington (the state) to teenage parents; both were sixteen when he was born. Unfortunately, due to circumstances you will learn later in the story they died when he was a year old and left Rylee an orphan.

He was subsequently taken in by his maternal Aunt Freya and her husband Oliver whom moved with him to Beacon Hills for a fresh start.

Something I forgot to mention previously; while I loved the series dearly I felt that the Hunters were slightly under developed. If they were such a danger to werewolves as a whole I thought, they should have been more 'overtly' threatening as opposed to mainly bluster so in this fic I'll be fleshing out their skills to make them deadlier and a more credible threat.

Chapter Two: Second Chance at First Line

The following morning Rylee wakes up early for a Saturday morning after hearing the front door slam closed; after checking his phone and finding a few messages from Lydia about the party, several from Stiles and one each from Scott, Allison and Danny Rylee stretched and climbed out of bed.

After brushing his teeth, he begins to make his way downstairs and at the foot of the stairs he hears the unmistakable voice of his Uncle in the kitchen causing Rylee to grin and make his way there.

Walking into the kitchen Rylee see's his Uncle giving Wyatt a hug and a kiss on his head while Freya sips her coffee at the kitchen table. When Oliver sees Rylee in the door way he smiles a bright smile at his nephew and holds his arms out for a hug which Rylee gladly walked into saying;

"Good morning, and welcome home of course!" with a laugh while his Uncle kissed the top of his head.

"Thanks, it's good to be home" Oliver returns before taking a deep contented breath.

The morning continued as normal for the entire time that Wyatt was in the house. The second Wyatt left with Freya to go to his swimming lesson Oliver sat down with Rylee in the living room.

"Your Aunt's told me what happened last night." He began calmly, "you saw Derek?" he then questioned gently while looking his nephew in the eyes,

"At the party" Rylee confirmed while nodding his head. "I didn't think I'd ever see him again, but he looked me square in the eyes and drove away." Rylee continued.

"I'm not sure what brought him back to Beacon Hills but whatever it is it's gained him the attention of some dangerous Hunters." Oliver returned while looking off into nothing with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Who are they?" Rylee questioned his Uncle, "I've never seen Aunt Freya unnerved by Hunters before."

Oliver looked back to his nephew and seemed to contemplate his answer before taking a deep breath;

"They're an old family of Hunters; one of the oldest, like yours." He begins to explain, "usually that would grant them a certain amount of respect amongst The Armory and other Hunters but several members in the past and present are renowned for being a little too…enthusiastic about the hunt."

Rylee took this all in while watching his Uncle's expression and he could see that Oliver wasn't too fond of these enthusiastic hunters.

"Is that why you've never told me about them before?" Rylee questioned his Uncle, trying to understand. "Because they're dangerous?"

"The Argent's aren't the kind of people you take someone you care about to meet, especially if they're even remotely supernatural." Oliver replied with a bland look on his face. After hearing their name Rylee jolted with surprise causing Oliver to shoot a confused look at him.

"Argent!?" Rylee repeated, "there's a girl who just started school with me called Allison Argent" he told his Uncle causing Oliver to nod his head.

"That'd be their only daughter, rumours flying around the Armory say that they've hidden their Hunting heritage from her all her life so don't try to talk to her about this." Oliver instructed while Rylee reeled at the idea of Allison's family keeping such a huge secret from her.

"Listen," Oliver began gaining Rylee's attention again "I know your Aunt has made you promise to stay away from Derek." Oliver said causing Rylee to gain a reluctant look on his face which Oliver smiled at.

"She and I spoke about it last night and I agree that we need to do our best to stay out of whatever the Argent's problem with Derek is." Oliver continued while Rylee looked more and more reluctant. "The Argent's could be a real threat to us Rylee so just…be careful" his Uncle concluded before stroking Rylee's cheek with his hand.

"Of course," Rylee replied, "I'll make you proud." He said while smiling at his Uncle who smiled back brightly and said;

"You've already done that."

Monday morning Rylee walked into School and made his way to his locker; after opening it he began to get ready for his morning classes before slamming the locker shut only to find Allison standing on the other side of the door causing Rylee to gasp and jump in surprise which caused Allison to look at him strangely.

"God you scared me!" Rylee said before smiling slightly and leaning against the lockers. "What's up?" he asked.

"Do you know what happened Friday?" Allison asked while looking at Rylee, "do you know why Scott ditched me at the party?" she finished while fidgeting slightly looking uncomfortable having this conversation.

"No, I'm sorry. I saw him go and tried to talk to him, but he left before I could get to him." Rylee replied, "did you ask him?" he asked. Allison shook her head and smiled at Rylee slightly before responding;

"Not yet, I'm gonna let him sweat a bit" causing Rylee to burst out laughing which Allison joined in with. When the bell rang the pair walked off towards their first class and began chatting about their weekend.

A few days later Rylee climbed out of his car and began walking towards a store. As he walked he suddenly stopped when a strange feeling came over him, he stayed perfectly still and seemed to concentrate for a moment before turning to look directly at Mr Argent whom had appeared behind him.

Looking entirely unimpressed Rylee simply looked Argent in the eyes and greeted him with a;

"Mr Argent." Argent smiled slightly at the fact that Rylee wasn't surprised by him in the least.

"Your Uncle taught you well," Argent complimented Rylee before continuing "but then he is one of the best" he concluded causing Rylee to smile slightly at the compliment.

"Thank you," he stated simply "is their something I can help you with?" he then questioned respectfully while watching Argent carefully.

"Actually, yes there is. Allison has been mentioning you at home and I get the impression that the two of you are becoming good friends." Argent stated simply while returning Rylee's calculating look with one of his own.

"We're friends," Rylee agreed, "I don't know how close we'll be yet. Why?" Rylee asked as he realised this was a 'social visit' as opposed to a 'professional' one.

"Your Aunt and Uncle might not have told you that Allison hasn't been told about our families…unique heritage. So, I'd appreciate if you didn't mention it to her, I'd hate for her to find out second hand." Argent concluded.

"Of course, not a problem at all." Rylee responded while nodding his head slightly causing Argent to smile.

"I'm going to like you," Argent concluded before saying goodbye and walking to his car while Rylee headed into the store and once out of sight from the cashier he put his hand to his madly beating heart and taking a deep shaky breath.

As the crowd was getting hyped for the game and the players began warming up on the field Rylee walked on to the field arm in arm with Ms McCall with Oliver walking just behind them. Melissa and Rylee waved to Scott and Stiles as they saw them walking on to the field.

They settled on the bleachers with the rest of the crowd and Melissa and Oliver caught up while they waited for the game to start. Once it did Rylee, Melissa and Oliver cheered with the rest of the crowd and Rylee joined Melissa in wincing when Scott was knocked over by Jackson.

When Jackson went on the score the rest of the crowd cheered loudly and after a second Melissa and Rylee reluctantly joined in.

A little later as the game got closer to finishing Scott suddenly snatched the ball from mid-air and began tearing down the field towards to goal causing Rylee and Melissa to get excited.

When Scott took his shot and scored his goal Melissa and Rylee cheered as loud as they could along with the crowd while Oliver whistled.

After Scott's second goal which went straight through the net on the goalies stick Melissa made a slightly shocked sound before turning to Rylee with a smile on her face saying;

"Did you see… "as Rylee nodded while smiling back and still clapping along.

As the game ended Rylee watched as Scott was surrounded by other players blocking him from the goal before making his shot as two of the players charged and he scored! Rylee cheered with the rest of crowd and made his way forward with the rest of the spectators only to stop when he realised that Oliver wasn't with him.

He turned around and saw Oliver had locked eyes with Mr Argent and that they were staring at each other unblinkingly. Rylee made his way back to Oliver's side which caused Mr Argent to look at Rylee briefly before turning back to Oliver and nodding. Oliver returned the nod before putting his arm over Rylee's shoulder and leading him to the car.

"Well that was an interesting game!" Oliver laughed causing Rylee to laugh out loud and put his arm around Oliver's waist as they walked back to the car discussing how good Scott had done.

End

This chapters a little shorter than the previous one but that's because I'm trying to make this as organic as I can, so Rylee won't be involved in every scene from the series.

I'm trying to give him his own little stories that slide into the episode overall and can 'explain' where he is while other things are happening.

It's a little slow I know but as the season kicks off so will Rylee and you'll learn more about him and his abilities.

As before reviews are definitely appreciated and for those of you who followed and favourited; Thank you dearly, I appreciate it.

Goodnight girls and guys, see you again soon!
