Chapter 2

Aria felt her irritation growing as she glanced once again at the people in the room that were all watching her warily. She cursed her Aunt Pam for sending her here to them.

Aria wasn't stupid, she knew that this large mansion belonged to one of the sons of Ipswich. They were witches, or at least held the power of witches. Most people, including werewolves thought that the Ipswich legends of them having magical powers were just legends but each Alpha of every pack knew better.

They knew the truth.

Other then the few Alpha's around the world who knew about them so did her Aunt Pam and Aria knew that the only reason Aunt Pam had told her little sister to come here was because not only would she be safe, but when Aria would come to pick her up she could ask for their help to defeat Kane.

Aria internally scoffed. There was no way in hell that she would ask these immature High School boys who looked no older then seventeen or eighteen at most to help her with their Kane problem.

Her pride would be completely bruised if she did . But her pride wasn't the only reason she wouldn't ask for their help. Aria knew the more that they used their powers the more addicted they could get, and once they get addicted, they wouldn't stop until they aged and aged and would eventually die from it.

Sure, she could be a bitch but she couldn't ask them to take away their lives.

Yet, there she was, in their living room, with them staring at her like if they stared enough they would suddenly be able to read her mind, then again maybe they could read her mind, they were witches after all.

That just made her want to get out of there all the more.

But it's not like Aria could just say 'hey thanks for taking care of my little sister who came in here looking like the living dead, anyway we gotta go and hide before we find a way to kill the rogue werewolf who wants to kill us bye!' yeah that would have gone over well.

She tightened her hold on Anna's shoulders but loosened them when she heard her wince. "Sorry." Aria muttered lowly to Anna who glanced up at her and gave her a small smile. "Anxious much?" She asked making Aria roll her eyes.

She knew her little sister had figured out who they were and knew that the stories were could also tell by the look in Anna's eyes that she wanted to ask for their help with Kane.

"So are you going to explain anything to us?" The blond one-Reid- asked. He had a very arrogant stance and a cocky grin and Aria just knew that he was probably the man-whore of their little group, or maybe even their whole school. Caleb , who seemed to be the leader of them shot him a glare.

Anna glanced up towards Aria with a expression that seemed to plead with her to tell the truth. Aria looked into her brown eyes-the same eyes that her mother had,the eyes her brother had,the eyes that she has-and almost caved, almost.

"Please Ari." Anna begged her. "We need to tell them, they can help, their the Sons Of Ipswich. They have magical powers." Anna spoke clearly, in a obvious attempt to make sure they all heard her. Aria ground her teeth together at her sisters cleverness.

Anna was acting more and more like her every day.

She should have been proud.

Instead she was pissed.

They looked up as Tyler spoke. "What powers, who said anything about powers." He said with a nervous laugh making both sisters snort at his terrible attempt to pretend that they knew nothing about the magic they indeed did possess.

Caleb glanced at the two girls in front of him. He had figured that they knew more then they led on when he had first saw them and now they had just confirmed it. What he wanted to know was how they knew about them. He also wanted to know what kind of help they wanted-and needed-from them.

"How do you know about this-about us." He asked surprising many people in the room by basically confirming that they did, indeed, hold powers. They glanced over at the older girl-Aria-as she gave the younger girl an angry look and let out a sigh before rubbing her temples as if she was supporting a terrible headache, which she was.

Aria knew that their was probably no easy way to get out of this one other then to tell them the truth. She let out another long sigh before sitting down in a empty arm chair while Anna sat on the floor leaning against her legs. She glanced around the room to see everybody looking at her.

Well, it's now or never she thought to herself before smirking at everybody.

"Do any of you believe in werewolves?"

Aria was met from silence all around the room, she had expected as much. She had also expected the stares that she got from everyone, mostly everyone at least. She saw that a few people in the room obviously thought that she was joking.

"Werewolves?." Caleb asked her hesitantly.

Aria smiled, It was a very cruel and almost menacing kind of smile too, which made both Sarah and Kate squirm in their seats while the boys all sat up more alert and wary then before. Anna took in everybody's shocked and frightened expressions then glanced up at her sister only to roll her eyes.

Anna clenched her hand into a fist and hit Aria's knee, hard. Aria's smile slid from her face when she glanced down at her sister who was glaring up at her. "Stop Ari." She said angrily. "Just please stop fooling around we need their help even if you don't want to ask for it." Ari looked closely at her sisters serious face before looking up and around the room.

"fine." she said her tone sharp. Reid then gestured impatiently with his hands making Aria glare at him. "Me and my sister are both werewolves." Aria told everyone and was met by a disbelieving silence while Reid burst out laughing. He clutched his stomach and wiped away the tears that weren't there from his eyes.

"Werewolves?" He asked once he calmed down. "You honestly don't think that were going to believe that you two are werewolves are you?" He asked he to which Aria only replied in a dry voice."You four a male witches with super powerful and crazy powers and you can't believe in werewolves."

Reid looked at her daringly. "Fine. If you are a werewolf then prove it or do whatever you do." He said with an arrogant smirk which made Aria want to do nothing more then punch him. "I can't change if their isn't a full moon." She said far more calmly then she felt but Reid only laughed.

"I think that your lying.I don't know how you know about us but I think that you are lying and is no such thing as werewolves." He said ending in a mocking voice. Aria was temped to just lie and agree with him by saying that their weren't any real werewolves and then try to make a run for it but she dismissed that idea when she saw how hopeful her sister was for them to believe them and help.

Aria sucked in a deep breath before letting it out slowly and shrugged of her leather jacked to reveal a white tube-top stained with dirt underneath it. She held out her left wrist. It had a tattoo on it that looked like a bracelet. It was a complicated design with vines and flowers while in the center was a small circle with a wolf howling at the moon in it.

Everyone stared at her wrist and then at her. She held out her wrist towards Caleb who she had figured seemed to be the leader and the most mature of the four."Here is your proof." Aria said. "Just touch the wolf in the circle and you will have proof." She said trough clenched teeth. She hated when people touched the wolf and now she was practically ordering a stranger to do so.

Caleb reached his hand forwards and paused slightly before pressing three fingers lightly to the tattoo on her wrist. As soon as Caleb's hand touched the tattoo on her skin his eyes glazed over as if he was seeing something that wasn't there or as if he were in a trance but both Aria and Anna knew better.

They both knew that he was seeing Aria's memories, anybody who ever so much as brushed against that wolf tattoo would get a recap of everything that had happened from her first transformation when she was twelve and first got the tattoo all the wall to what they had for breakfast that morning.

Aria hated that tattoo but for every wolf a tattoo would magically appear. Any wolf who just turned twelve and had their first full moon transformation got one right away. This tattoo might have even been useful if it didn't show every single one of Aria's memories since her twelfth birthday. Caleb would see her every pain and struggle and would see all the heartache she had been through and all the death and anger she had ever felt and all the guilt she had ever harbored.

Barely a minute later Caleb snapped out of his trance like state and snatched his hand away from Aria's wrist.

His brown eyes showed his sorrow for what she had went threw, along with the pity that she had expected to see. It was silent for a few minutes. Aria fuming silently, Caleb deep in thought of what he had just saw, Anna watching them all knowingly while everybody else looked at them in confusion and expectation.

Finally Caleb broke the silence. "I'm sorry." he said and Aria snorted while Annabelle told him a sincere thank-you.

Finally after a short, yet slightly awkward silence, Reid decided to break it. "Okay so what the hell is going on. Caleb, Don't tell me you believe in all of that werewolf bullshit." Caleb looked over at Aria who had a look in her eyes that seemed to tell him not go into anything that he had seen from his little vision from when he touched the tattoo.

Caleb looked at her before turning to Reid and everyone else and said the four words that seemed to shock everybody other then Aria and Anna who each sat still and patient.

"I do believe them."
