Chapter 4/ The Argent's Try to Kill Scott

Allison's POV:

My dad and his sister stand in the my dad's gun room.

My father is trying to teach me how to shoot each of the freaky guns until Aunt Kate butts in. "Did you research the family heirloom?"

I shake my head. "No. I was too busy with my—"

Kate interrupts me. "Scott?"

I laugh nervously. "Well, uhm, maybe a smidge."

Kate chuckles. "Okay. Well I think it's time your father and I tell you that, we are werewolf hunters."

"Oh my God," I say. Scott's a werewolf! Crap! Omagooooodddd!

"Tonight we're going hunting and since your dad and I have taught you so much, we feel you're ready for action!" Kate says excitedly.

"Oh I don't know," I say. "I may have homework."

"Oh. I doubt you can't do it before ten tonight," my dad says, smiling and patting my back.

"Yeah. Ha. Right. I'll be ready."

Scott's POV:

I stand outside the old torn apart house where I always find Dereck.

"Dereck! DERECK! DERREECCKK!" I shout.

"What? WHAT?"

I turn around to see Dereck.

"I need you to teach me how to control my werewolf senses!" I say frantically.

"You're not Spiderman with spider senses," he says.

"Just teach me!" I demand.

"Why all of a sudden do you want me to help you?" Dereck asked.

"Because Allison's dad almost found me out!"

"Wait, what do you mean 'he almost found you out?'"

"He was trying to get me to say I'm a werewolf but luckily Allison saved me."

"You need to not go around her dad!"

"How? He shows up out of no where! And he LIVES with Allison!"

"Then stay away from Allison."

"No. Hell no."

"Scott be reasonable—"

"Then help me in a way that I'll reason with."

"Fine we'll—"

My phone buzzed. I checked to see who it was.

Allison. I answered it. "Hello?"

Dereck rolled his eyes.

"Scott!" Allison panicked. "My dad's making me go werewolf hunting tonight!"

"Tonight?"

"Yes! I have to go! Someone's coming!"

"But— WAI—" The line went dead.

I looked at Dereck. "They're hunting. TONIGHT!"

"Ah damn."

"Where the hell is your car?" I panted as Dereck and I run through the woods.

"What's the point of a car in the middle of the woods?" Dereck asked.

"Obviously the Argent's don't mind it!" I say.

"You're a werewolf! Just run fast!" Dereck said, turning into a wolf.

"I'm not turning into a werewolf!"

"Why?"

"Because if they show up and we are still in the woods it'll be obvious we are werewolves! Duh!"

"If we turned we'd get out quickly."

"I'm not risking it!"

Dereck sighs and runs more.

I hear something in the distance.

"Dereck! Do you hear that?" I whisper.

He stops and listens. "Uhm—"

Suddenly I feel something breeze past me. I hide behind a tree then cautiously peer around the corner.

"Dereck! Run! They're here!" I yell frantically. We both go charging out of the woods.

"Scott! We won't make it out in time unless we change!" Dereck cried.

"But that'll just prove what we are!" I pant. My adrenaline is rushing so I know whether I like it or not I'll probably change.

"By running we've already proven that!" Dereck runs on and changes to pick up speed.

So I do the same thing.

I had to stop to catch my breath so I lean against a tree not realizing the Argent's were to me. I go to hide behind the tree but I know Allison recognized me and saw me. Unfortunately, her dad too. Or at least he saw me, even if he didn't recognize me.

Then I do the stupidest thing I've done, EVER. I run.

All I hear behind me is Allison yell, "DAD NO!"

Then something pierced me in the arm.

I dropped to the ground in excruciating pain.

I yelled and screamed and screamed and yelled.

Oh my God. I'm gonna die.
