Chapter 2:

Brynlee:

Stupid Isaac and his stupid charming smile. Stupid! I kicked the sidewalk and almost fell over. Regaining my balance I glared at the sidewalk, this was Isaac's entire stupid fault. If he hadn't taken my damn hat, I wouldn't have had to take the long way to my apartment! When I was on my way from school there was a group of men that I knew if I did pass them would not let me get home, and instead invite me to theirs. That was the problem with being a siren. Once they saw you, they didn't let you go. Which was why I was so surprised the Isaac didn't a) follow my instructions or b) follow me home. I looked behind me cautiously and thought I saw a figure move, then again, I guess he could still be doing option b now couldn't he?

If only I had looked where I was going at didn't run into that damn monster.

Damn monster.

I sighed and took my hair out of my ponytail so my curtain of waves would hide my face. Then I saw a figure far away. I sighed and ducked my head even farther away, walking fast but not too fast that it seemed suspicious. See this is why I have my damned hat you damned monster. I swear to god the next time I see Isaac I'm going to pull medieval on him and purposely lead him into wrecking a ship and drowning to death.

For some reason, the thought of that didn't bring me quite as much pleasure as it should have.

I almost exited my little detour of a trip, until a guy maybe 18 or 19 seemed to appear out of nowhere right in front of me. He had dark hair and stubble, his green eyes had a wolfish quality to them and the way he looked directly at me without even a sway or a blink of desire made me know just what he was, "you're a supernatural." I said, my voice appearing croaky. Probably from being unused for so long. That was a full sentence, which is more than what I normally say in a week. Combined.

His smile could only be described as wicked, his white teeth having sharpness to them. "Nice voice." He commented to me. I glared up at him, "Nice teeth." He bared them at me and I remained calm. There was no way I was letting some random-ass werewolf bully me when I just got ride of that kind of life style. I crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow at him. Then he moved as fast as lightning and pushed me against the wall of the ally. "What are you doing here, siren? Who sent you?" He was so deadly my heartbeat was about to increase but I quickly made it stay calm. If he thought I was nervous, he'd think he was in control. No one was in control but me. Period.

"I wasn't sent by anyone. My name is Brynlee." He glared at me and his claws came out. This is ridiculous. He acted worse than girls at a Tori Burch sale. I looked at him like you look at a misbehaving kindergartener, which, to my pleasure, enraged him even more. He put his claw and traced the outside of my face, "I'll ask you one more time. Who. Were. Yo-"

He was cut off by a blur that tackled him to the ground. I recognized that person. Isaac. Ooo he was in for a beat down. I found myself cheering on the mysterious man that was threatening me. Would it be wrong to want popcorn?

"Derek!" Isaac yelled, "Stop! She doesn't know anything! She just moved here." Isaac's eyes flashed and he had a matching set of canines like 'Derek'.

Ohmigod. Isaac was a werewolf too. And judging from the way he treated Derek, Derek was his Alpha, or however the hell that shit worked. Ha! He was a damned monster. I felt some pride in my incredible accusation skills but that quickly died away when the two monsters both bared their teeth at each other.

I remembered my mother's letter, how, though I could not persuade them, my voice still did make an impact on the supernatural, causing them to at least listen. "Stop." I commanded loudly. The second it exited my lips Isaac turned from a half werewolf back to his boyishly handsome self. Derek slowly turned back, but the fact that he did was a miracle on its own. Isaac blocked me from Derek's view, "what do you think you're doing? Trying to hurt her? You knew she wasn't lying so why would you continue?"

Derek glared at Isaac, forcing him to back down. "Don't be so quick to trust a pretty face. Some truths can be masked." I stepped in front of Isaac, so I was protecting him from this…this…bully. "I honestly don't know what you're talking about. Can I go home now?"

Isaac:

I watched carefully as the beautiful girl bravely faced off with one of the most powerful werewolves. She crossed her arms and attempted to screw her gorgeous face into an intimidating glare. Derek gave me a look over her head that said she's screwing with me right now right he raised an eyebrow does anyone actually find her intimidating? I had to stifle a laugh as she poked Derek's chest, "What are you looking for?" I saw a brief smile cross over Derek but was carefully masked, "That is none of your business." He poked her on the chest in a gentle tap for him but it made Brynlee fall backwards and into my arms. This time my laughter bubbled up. She leapt away from me a second time today, "Why are you laughing!?" Derek shook his head, "Bring her." He said before disappearing. Brynlee looked around, "Whom are you bringing…" realization dawned on her "oh crap." I smiled down at her.

"Don't worry, I'm bringing you to people like you. You're living alone aren't you? That's what most siren's do." She nodded but backed away from me, "And that's how I like it. And you're bringing me to people like you."

I gave her my signature cheeky smile. Brynlee tried to rush away but I appeared in front of her. She huffed and crossed her arms having to crane her neck upward so that she could glare those gorgeous eyes right into me. "You just love those little perks of being a werewolf, don't you?"

I smiled, "Yup. The super strength thing is awesome too. I have yet to meet a peanut butter jar that I can't conquer." Her eyes flashed as if accepting a hidden challenge.

"So I'm guessing if I don't come with you you'll just have to take me like a sack of flour and throw me over your shoulder, right?"

I stuck my hands in my pockets, "I was kind of hoping I could do that even if you did agree." Without warning the little siren I picked her up and threw her over my shoulder, she barely weighed a thing. But she sure could kick. "Put. Me. Down." She said so convincingly I almost did it. If only I didn't like it so damned much!

Brynlee:

That monster was dead. Twice over. He deposited me inside an apartment like I wasn't a person and didn't have pride. And then when I tried to punch him in the chest he had the nerve to laugh. Laugh! At me. I so wasn't funny.

Derek appeared, "took you long enough. You took the long way didn't you?" My mouth widened, "You did what?" Isaac made a shut up face to Derek. Make that three times over. "Hey Derek what are we-whoa." A boy who I had never seen before stopped whatever he was going to say when he saw me. I ducked my head so that the boy wouldn't be lured in. I felt Isaac pull me behind him. "Stiles you don't want to-" He came toward me, totally entranced.

I buried my face in Isaac's shirt, "Oh god, I didn't mean too! I thought you said they were all like you!" Derek stepped in front of poor Stiles.

The Alpha put his face right in Stiles, "Lydia. Naked." The human boy look distracted and then snapped out of his trance.

Stiles shook his head, "Isaac, who are you hiding behind you?"

I felt an unfamiliar hand on my shoulder, Derek looked at me intently, "How do you hide yourself?" I sighed and put my hand in front of Isaac, "Cap please?" He handed me my familiar disguise and I pushed it down to eye level. Derek scoffed, "That's it?" I pushed the cap up and glared at him, "Any other bright ideas that doesn't involve a paper bag?"

"Yeah, no paper bag, please" Isaac shook his head. I rolled my eyes at his protest and look expectantly at Derek.

Derek led me to a chest that looked at least 800 years old. Give or take a few millenniums. He dug through until reaching a small container of what looked like spray. Without warning, I was sprayed directly in the face. I blinked cautiously and looked Isaac, "Do I look different?" He shook his head.

Derek gave a groan sounding sigh, "you're not suppose to look different, it just takes the magic out of your gaze."

I glared at the back of the older guys head and muttered, "Sorry I didn't read the instructions of the mysterious looking perfume that smells like unicorn puke."

Derek turned around and raised an eyebrow, "No matter how low you talk I can still hear you." I glared at him and yelled, "WELL THAT'S NOT MY FAULT." If it weren't for Isaac I probably would have jumped the wolf guy.
"Whoa there, feisty, calm down."

Isaac:

Not only was Brynlee hilarious and adorable, she was also impossibly stubborn and challenge filled. That little comment about the peanut butter jars? I found a peanut butter jar with the cap super glued on. When I opened it without a sweat I was surprised that she didn't shoot me. This little siren was definitely going to bring some excitement into my life. Even Derek can't help but laugh each time she tries to act deadly. Derek doesn't laugh.
