Ch. 5: Show me more

About a month has passed. Life was good. I was getting along with Mercy very well, even getting her number, texting her very often late at night, and even hanging out at my house every once in a while. Nothing romantic between us to define me and her but I was hoping that would change soon. Derek was training with me almost every day, telling me my anger was the key to strength and saying I needed it if I was to beat the Calaveras. Stiles and Lydia were teaching me many things and making me smarter overall. Maliah was of course teaching me about tracking skills since she was even better at Scott at that to find the Calaveras if they were hiding. I was helping too, helping Liam control the full moon without having to speak and some wolf tricks when Scott was busy. We were all helping each other, and it was awesome! Then Maliah, Scott, Isaac, and Liam went to Mexico to look for some clues on where the Calaveras were. I wanted to go but Mellissa would not let me. She said I should focus on school and my friends. As long as they did not get hurt, I can live with that.

I was in my room sitting in my chair with Mercy on my bed sitting on it reading a civics book with a pencil in her mouth. I had the homework in my hands on a folder but I was not paying too much attention to the work. I started thinking about Mercy and how pretty I thought she looked in that blue tank top and black short shorts with her hair below her shoulders. She was smart, funny and even feisty at times. She was…..

"Pierce you listening? We have to get ready for the test on Friday and you look like you're not focusing" she said a little irritated

"I'm sorry I'm just a little distracted" I said

"About what?" she said

"I….really wish I could tell you but I can't."

"Why not?"

"I don't want you involved with my issues and trust me; you wouldn't be able to handle it"

"You are an issue and I can handle you pretty well" she said with a grin on her face

I smiled. She had a point

"Look, I'm not telling you to protect you, which I know sounds stupid and unbelievable but…..you trust me right?"

"Of course I do but, I just want to know you 100%."

"I'm not sure you would like me if you knew me 100%."

"So how much do I know you then?" she asked raising her voice

"Like…60%?

"You know me like 99% Angel. You think that's fair?" she said standing up

"No of course not, I….I just can't tell you."

"I know something is up with you Angel. You can tackle players in football twice your size, you can move so fast and your reflexes…..if you're on drugs that doesn't matter to me."

"It's not that"

"Then what is it!?" she said very loudly

I didn't answer. I wanted to tell her so badly but I couldn't. I felt like the biggest jerk alive and I knew that she had a point. I was being unfair but I had a reason right?

She got impatient and walked by me out the door and slammed it hard. I lie down on my bed and felt awful. I looked at my hands and grew my claws and looked at them. I made a fist and pushed the nails in to hurt myself and cause me to bleed. I deserved it I thought. Next time I see her I will tell her.

The next day was a Friday and I was not exactly ready for my civics test. I was at breakfast eating alone at my table when I looked over and I saw Mercy sitting with her girlfriends, she usually sits with me but I guess she's still mad at me about yesterday. I could smell her anger and sadness. I knew I definitely had to tell her after that. The bell rang and I headed to math.

After class I went to Mercy's locker to talk to her. As soon as she saw me she slammed he locker shut and turned and walked away. Great I thought.

I tried to get her to talk to me but every time she saw me she left the area quickly. Though I knew 8th period would be my chance to talk to her since I sit right next to her. I would just tell her even if she didn't talk back.

8th period came and I took a seat. Mercy sat down as well but she didn't look at me. The teacher went off to explain about propaganda and what not but I could care less.

"Mercy I promise to tell you all about me 100% if you meet me at my house after school ok?" I asked

She did not say a word and made no sigh that I even said a word. I slumped back in my seat and took a deep breath. I hope she at least was thinking about it. I started day dreaming when she slipped me a note that said

"I'll come over but u better tell me got it? Or your dead." Next to the words was a face a big x on it.

I just nodded my head at her and gulped nervously. I guess I have to now.

"I hope you guys studied for the test, it's not an easy one." Mr. Smith said as he handed out our test

I wasn't really prepared for the test and once I finished it, I knew I failed. All I could think about was how I was going to tell her what I am. After about 30 minutes, our teacher passed them back out and I got a 49. I showed it to Mercy and she laughed covering her mouth. She shows me her and she got a 83. She stuck out her tongue at me. I smiled; hopefully we were back the way we were. Though I know we won't be after I told her. The bell rang and our teacher dismissed us and I headed to my bus.

I sat down on my bed and was playing some games on my phone when about 2 hours later my doorbell rang. I smelled her from a long shot and heard her and knew what was coming. I took a deep breath and headed downstairs to open the door. Once I opened it she grabbed my hand and led me to my room and locked the door. She pushed me on my bed and she sat down in my chair.

"Talk now." She demanded

"Ok but you won't believe me at first." I said

She just stared at me

"I'm a werewolf."

She just laughed. "Seriously? How stupid do you think I am?" She said as she threw up her hands

"I can show you."

"Yeah suuuuure." she said

"Hold out your hands" I said

She hesitated at first put held out her palms. I put mine on top of her and let my nails grow to deadly sharp claws. She gasped at first and looked at me,

"How….how did you…"

"I would not lie to you Mercy, I am a wolf."

"Show me more"

"I…ok

I glowed my red eyes and looked into her eyes, her mouth was wide open in shock and she looks amazed, I don't blame her, it must be a lot to take in. We were still holding hands when she said

"More"

"Are you sure?"

She nodded her head very quickly.

I turned into a full wolf growing hair on my face, my ears becoming sharper and faced being mushed. I roared loudly facing my celling to show off a little. After I changed back and looked at her. She looked confused beyond belief. Though she puts her hand on my cheek and rubs it a little.

"Are you ok?"

"Am I ok? That was…..AWESOME!"

I gave her a confused look.

"Huh?"

"This is great! It must be awesome to have special powers. I wish I could be a werewolf" she said excitedly

I took a deep breath and told her everything. My pack being killed, meeting Scott and the others, killing Gerrard, and now looking for the Calaveras. I told her all about the werewolf facts, omega, beta, and alpha. I told her it can be rewarding at times but you go through a lot of pain. Afterwards she was speechless.

"Oh my god…Angel I'm so sorry for what's happened to you. I wish I could help."

I grinned "That's ok. I am getting over it and you have been helping me in that department. Now that you now me 100% what's that 1% you're hiding from me?" I asked

She blushed "Oh uhhh…its stupid never mind." She said letting go of my hand

"Want to know another werewolf secret? We can tell when people lie." I whispered

"How?" she asked

"Your heartbeat rises slightly and that means you're lying. So I'm going to ask you a question. What are your feelings for me?"

Her cheeks were a bright red and she looked down at the floor.

"Just friends." She said too quickly

"Lier." I said listening closely to her heartbeat

"Ok fine… I like you ok? There happy?"

"Why?" I asked

"See? That right there is why. You are cute and you don't even know it which makes you even more cutter. God I hate you" she said happily

I blushed too. I liked being complimented and it made me feel nice too.

"Well I like you too" I said

"You, you do?" she asked

I nodded my head. There was an awkward silence for a bit

"This is the part where you kiss me dumbass" she said

"Oh uhhh…sorry" I said

She stood up from her chair and I got up from the bed and leaned it. Her lips felt sweet and the touch sent an electric show down my spine which I loved. It was about a three second kiss and I pulled back.

She then whispered in my ear

"Me and you, were together got it?" she said

I nodded my head

She smiled and her phone rang. She saw it and said

"It's my mom; I got to go home now. Can we hang out tomorrow?" she asked

"Oh yeah definitely" I said

"Great see you then." She kissed me quickly, picked up her bag and left.

I sat down on my bed and my phone rang. It was a text from Scott, it said

"Back from Mexico, meet at Derek's place we got news"

I looked at it and stuffed it in my pocket and ran out my house heading to Derek's loft

Next ch will have some action I think. If not nxt 4 sure. Plz review! Thx and I do appreciate you a lot seth!
