The Lane family arrived in Beacon Hills at the stroke of midnight, on the cusp of Tuesday and Wednesday. As a slight breeze floated through the open window, tousling Mari's wavy chocolate hair, she felt whispers. The moment of their arrival was significant, the whispers told her skin in skitters and flicks, though whether it was auspicious or ominous remained to be seen. Clutching the pendant hanging are the hollow of her throat, she sighed deeply, eliciting a glance from Blue in the driver's seat. But neither spoke a word as they pulled up to what would be their home for the foreseeable future.
A shadow crossed on the garage door, and Mari thought to speak up but quickly decided against it. The edges of the shadow had been sharp and angular, blade-like in their appearance. There was only one thing the shadow could belong to, and she knew that she would've been the only occupant of the car to have seen it, to know what it meant. So she heaved another sigh and opened the car door, dragging her backpack out with her. She opened the back door of the car and shook Cammy awake, while Blue did the same to Jon on the other side. They had been traveling for what seemed like days, and they all knew that the real journey had only just begun.
The four trooped to the front door, a single bag being carried by each, with Blue in the lead. Rummaging around in her pocket, Blue pulled out a silver key and unlocked the front door. Flicking on a light, they went inside. Mari entered last, chancing one last glance outside. The shadow was present under the street light illuminating the road, and she shivered as she hastily shut the door behind her.
A/N: My first Teen Wolf fic! I'd like to dedicate this first chapter to Ally (allybz on here) and Bri for inspiring me to create Mari in the first place. Ally is writing a great story called 'From Ashes' about her OC, Elsa Kirsch, and I suggest that you all go check it out! I hope you enjoyed this little glimpse of the story, and I hope you all feel inclined to give me feedback. Have a lovely day/night! :)
