Alissa had spent the next few days with Lydia and Allison. Becoming friends with them getting close to them it wasn't hard actually. She had also joined track with Aiden and Ethan. She was doing everything she could to fit in here. That also wasn't hard to do. Blending in was all she really had to do. All Deucalion wanted her to do was get close to Allison and Lydia to get close Scott McCall.
Alissa got out of bed and went to her closet. She picked out an outfit and changed into it. She had gone shopping last night to get something for track practice this morning. She put her hair into a ponytail and walked out of her room. She shut the door and almost jumped when she felt her back hit someone else's.
"I am sorry I didn't mean to scare you Lissa" Deucalion said to her. She relaxed and pulled away from him a little bit. It was only a few days ago she had killed someone on his order. What scared her was that she didn't feel anything.
"It's fine really. I am just a bit jumpy I guess" She said. She had been the same way when she first met him. She still didn't know what to think or how to act around him.
"Can I ask why" he asked her.
"Just a bad dream is all" She told him. "I saw my father I mean Jared Tate and Daphne. I saw everything happen again. Only this time Jared killed me because of what I am" She told him she watched his face change from the hard stern face she was used to but to a concerned face.
"I know you are still healing from that. The rejection that you weren't his daughter" He said. "Hurt you badly" he added she glared at him.
"Because of you" She said to him. "My life was perfect before you ruined it" She told him.
"You are my daughter not his. He may have raised you but I am your father and you live with me now. You do as I say. I give you the freedom you want because I don't want to lose you again. I gave you this gift because this is your destiny." He told her.
"You ruined my life" She said walking away from him.
"You will not walk away from me. I am your father" he yelled at her.
"You are not my father I don't have a father" She responded to him. She walked out the door and instantly felt bad for the way she treated him. All he had done was show concern for her and she practically threw it in his face. She wanted to go back to apologize but she had school to get too. She met up with Aiden and he gave her his helmet and drove them both to school with Ethan following behind them.
Alissa changed in the girl's locker room with the rest of the girls of the track team. She didn't talk just changed. She tied her shoes and could hear the coach yelling outside of the door. She walked up to Aiden and Ethan. "Hey" She said to him.
"Don't think we didn't hear what went on with Deucalion this morning. You better hope he isn't angry with you" Ethan said.
"Yeah well I know I was out of place. You two better be nice to Lahey" She said.
"Always" Aiden said to her he put an arm around her as they walked outside. She knew who he was and had seen him at the bank but he hadn't seen her. So she wasn't a threat to him.
Aiden and Alissa passed the boy first. Ethan walked up on the other side of him. When the whistle sounded the three of them were off. She kept up perfectly with the boys. She looked back and saw that Isaac was following them. She smiled and kept running. They rounded a corner and hid. She watched as the boy looked around for them. Ethan and Aiden attacked Isaac and she walked behind them slowly. She hoped that both boys forgave her for what she was going to do.
She heard Aiden ask Ethan a question. "Ethan I always forget how many bones are in the body" she smiled at this.
"I don't know let's count" Ethan said as he was about to strike She attacked Aiden and someone else attacked Ethan.
"Sorry" she whispered into his ear. He pushed off her off and detracted his claws. She did the same as did the boys behind her. Scott and Isaac that is she knew she would have some explaining to do but she didn't care. She always loved a good brawl with the boys. Just as she was going to go at Aiden a scream could be heard for miles. They all forgot what they were doing and went to see what was going. She stood behind Aiden and Ethan when they reached their destination.
A boy was tied to the tree by his torso and his neck. Blood was everywhere on the body and the tree. The police department was called and on their way. She actually had to look away. Ethan tried to hide it best he could from her.
Sirens could be heard as they got closer. The Sheriff she suspected came up the hill officer's following him. He was pushing people out of the way. This was the worst thing she had ever seen. She had never actually seen what Daphne had looked like after the attack. This was pretty gross.
"What do you think did this" She asked the twins.
"I don't know Lissa" Aiden said to her. She did what the sheriff said and began to walk back to the school she didn't want to stick around any longer than she had to. She was about half way when she felt a hand pull on her arm.
"Who are you" Scott asked her she turned to face him.
"I am like you" She said to him. "Only I am alone and I don't like bullies so your friend should be thankful I was here to help him" Alissa said to him.
"So you're a werewolf too" a boy she didn't know the name of asked her.
"Yeah I am. I have been for two years. I don't have anyone but my dad" She said not giving too much away.
"So what you do good deeds" Isaac asked her.
"You could say that. I want to help you. The Alpha pack took my sister from me. They killed her" Alissa said to him. She looked back and saw the Twins. The nodded indicating they were listening as she told them her story.
"I am sorry to hear that" Scott said. "I didn't mean to startle you" He said walking away from her. "We could use you" He said to her she smiled. He shouldn't trust so easily could be the death of him. She looked at the twins and saw their smiles. She did well hopefully this gets her back in Deucalion's good graces.
Alissa sat in her Science class that she shared with Isaac and Scott. "Alright since inertia is a subject you know plenty. Why don't we start with momentum" Mr. Harris said underlining it in the chalk. She however kept her eyes on the boys.
She listened in on Scott as he talked to Isaac. "They are here for a reason; give me a chance to figure it out before you do anything. Okay" Scott said to him she knew the reason but she wasn't allowed to say anything. It seemed like Isaac wasn't listening to him. "Isaac" Scott whispered. Alissa knew that he wouldn't listen to the to be alpha. She then turned her attention back to the teacher.
"Danny what do we know about Momentum" Mr. Harris asked the boy.
"It's the product of mass and velocity the mass of something the faster it's going…" Danny said.
"Mr. Harris can I use the bathroom please" Isaac said he stood up and left the room.
"I have to go to the bathroom too" Scott said suddenly.
"One at a time" Mr. Harris said. She knew why he wanted to go he wanted to follow Isaac.
"But I really have to go. Like medical emergency have to go" Scott said.
"Mr. McCall if your bladder suddenly exploded and urine started to pour from every surface in this room. I would still respond with one at a time…" She tuned out the rest wondering what was going on outside the room. She honestly had to get out of here.
Alissa focused now on her notes. She looked up when she heard the class getting up she followed and pushed to the front to see Ethan on the floor bloody and battered. She wanted to go to him but Danny had beaten her to the punch. "I don't know he just came at me" Ethan said. Alissa looked to see Isaac. She knew that Aiden had done this but they were doing this to get Isaac in trouble.
"Isaac what did you do" Mr. Harris asked him. Alissa didn't care she pushed past and went to Ethan's side. She looked to see that Scott was upset with what Isaac had done. She helped Danny with Ethan. "Take him to the nurse" Mr. Harris instructed both her and Danny. She nodded and began to walk with him.
"Thanks Lissa" he said to her she nodded and they made their way to the nurses office. She had dismissed Danny and they were on their own.
"It's what I am all about" She said to him. "Good deeds" she said to him. They met up with Aiden and enjoyed a good laugh or two.
They went to the rest of their classes they had together. It was now English and she was sitting in front of Ethan. He was telling her some joke so it looked like they were blending in but when Scott walked in she turned and faced the front. Looking uncomfortable she watched as he pulled out some parts out of his bag.
"This looks important." They were parts from one of their bikes. She couldn't believe what they were doing. She saw that Aiden was getting angry. He stood and ran out of the room.
"Aiden don't" Ethan yelled out after to him. Ms. Blake looked after him as he ran out of the room. Everyone started to pile out of the classroom she followed Allison and Scott. She saw that Aiden was standing in front of his bike holding his helmet. She looked over at Scott and Allison and saw that she was laughing. She didn't hear what Ms. Blake had said. She couldn't believe that they had gotten back at Ethan and Aiden. She walked back in the class room and sat back in her desk. She couldn't show that she knew Ethan and Aiden. She had wanted to say that Aiden was framed by the kids she had to become friends with. That was going to be hard considering how close she was with the twins.
The class came back in and the only people she focused on were Isaac, Allison, and Scott. They all had smiles on their faces. The twins were like her brothers. Looked like she was riding home with Ethan tonight not that she minded but she liked riding with Aiden. Ms. Blake came back in and she knew that Aiden was going to be expelled for this. She couldn't focus on class since she was worrying about Aiden.
Class ended and she rushed out to her locker. She waited for Ethan outside when she spotted Kali and Ennis standing outside a car. She walked over and smiled.
"Hey Alissa" Ennis said to her she nodded her greeting. "Get in the car. Deucalion will be out shortly" He said to her she nodded and entered the car. She placed her bag on her lap and waited for her father to come back. It wasn't long till the door opened and Deucalion entered the car.
"I hear you played your part well" he said to her there was coldness to his voice.
"Yes I did I told them exactly what you told me to" She said to him. She figured now was a better time than any. "About this morning…" She started.
"All is forgiven." He said to her.
"You were just asking me something and shouldn't have said what I did. You have helped me and I didn't want to sound so ungrateful. It was not my intention." She said to him. "I was harsh I am sorry" She said.
"Do not apologize. There was a time before I lost my sight when I wanted to find you but Talia said it wasn't time to bring you into this world. I wanted to raise you to in this life. You didn't have anybody I didn't trust that man that raised you. I knew he would hurt you. Alissa you are going to be something great one day. I promise you that" Deucalion said. She sat there and went through everything she had just heard. He wanted to raise her but he left her with Jared all those years. She only really had one question.
"Who is my mother" She asked him.
"She is gone nobody knows where she is" he said to her. Deucalion really did know where Alissa's mother was. He just told her the first thing that came to mind. "She disappeared when you were born." He said. Alissa felt hurt. She had never known a mother's love. Kali was the closest thing she had to a woman idol.
"You have Kali for that role. She cares about you and has taught you everything you know. How did Scott take to your story" He asked her.
"He believed me" She said to him.
"Good, keep it up" He said. Alissa nodded and looked out the window. She felt like she was starting to trust Deucalion a bit more every day. He hadn't given her any reason not to so it was time she started to trust him. She smiled she was truly starting to see that this was her family. Deucalion is her father and the pack is her family. She couldn't trust anyone more than she did her pack.
