And here we are, the next chapter! Just another normal day for our weretiger, as normal as it gets at least. We have a run in with Deucalion as well, not sure if I should have another run in with him, that's up to you readers. Well I'll let you guys get on with it. :)
I was worn out the next morning, not even bothering to work out. I sat around with Tyler and played games with him. I knew Scott was in school today and I knew I needed to get back to the clinic and claim my job again, and show Deaton just how big the kittens have gotten since he last saw them.
After I got dressed, I gathered the kittens in their basket and Tyler followed me outside to the van. We drove over to the Clinic and walked in, the basket resting against my hip, and we were greeted by Deaton.
"Its been a while since I last saw you Kathey, and those cats, they sure have grown a lot since. Who's your friend?" Deaton asked.
"This is Tyler, I kinda rescued him from vampires back when they were still a threat here in Beacon Hills. Do you mind if we join you in the back?" I asked and Deaton nodded, opening the small gate that led to the back.
"What's up with that wood? It smells weird," Tyler whispered to me.
"Mountain Ash, have you ever heard of it?" I asked him and he shook his head. "Repels the supernatural. Werewolves, werecats, all those creatures."
"Dragons?"
"Doubt it."
I set the basket on the table and the cats jumped out, meowing at Deaton.
"They remember you. This is Cloudwing," I stroked the said kitty, "and Shadow."
Deaton gave them a check over and nodded to himself.
"They're a picture of health," he said and he ruffled Shadow's fur. Shadow pounced at his hand and bit it playfully.
"They don't exactly sit around like normal cats. We rough house with them and watch their eating habits so they get exercise and all that," I said and Cloud jumped onto my shoulders.
"Have you talked to Scott since you've been back?" Deaton asked and I shrugged.
"I helped him save Lydia from dragons who were looking for me," I answered and Deaton's eyes widened.
"Dragons?"
"Yup, dragons. Giant flying lizards. Turns out I used to be connected to one of them and a bunch of other creatures. Its pretty freaky. There's evil dragons coming to destroy Beacon Hills but according to them, we'll have it under control."
"I doubt them though," Tyler said. "You said it yourself Kathey. Four dragons, four werewolves, a werecat, and a banshee won't be enough against five dragons that shoot plasma from their mouths."
"Actually, Tyler, a banshee's cry could be fatal to those with sensitive hearing," Deaton said.
"That's right, I forgot dragons have such sensitive hearing," I added.
"So use Lydia to stop the dragons and take them down while they're stunned," Deaton suggested.
"We'll have to talk with Scott and everyone about this plan," I said and looked at Tyler who nodded.
"It was nice to see you again Kathey, and nice to meet you Tyler, you two be careful," Deaton said and we headed towards the front with the cats in tow, only Tyler stopped short before we stepped into the front. I spun and had my back against the wall and Tyler did the same thing. We both knew what we smelled, an Alpha werewolf, one that I never knew. Deaton saw our movements and walked out calmly.
"Can I help you?" he asked.
"I'm here for the...wolf and tiger you have back there," the Alpha said.
"I don't know what you're talking about Deucalion. There isn't a tiger, nor a wolf here."
"You know what I mean Deaton, now hand them over."
"They aren't Alphas. You would start a pack of ordinary Betas?"
"It is but a start to a great pack."
"The answer is no Deucalion," I came out of hiding with the kittens under my arm. I stood my ground against him. I was nobody's beta and I never will be. "Back off," I added and growled.
"Not very nice are we?" Deucalion asked and I growled again, adding a hiss afterwards.
"I know what your intentions are and we're not following them," I said and that was my final word.
"Well, well. Somebody who knows how to stand up to someone like me," Deucalion said and he stepped back outside without another word.
"That was strange. Who is Deucalion anyway?" Tyler asked.
"He was an Alpha that led an Alpha pack. Why he is trying to form a new pack I will never know," Deaton explained and Tyler shuddered.
"We'll be careful with him, come on Tyler, let's go home," I said and Deaton opened the gate for us so we could leave through the front. After a check to make sure Deucalion was gone, we ran to the van and jumped in.
"What happens if we run into him again Kathey?" Tyler asked as I started the engine. I sat with my hands on the wheel, looking forward and exhaled.
"I think we'll be in for the biggest fight of our lives," I said and we started for home.
Once we walked in, Cloudwing and Shadow jumped out of the basket and to their usual hang out places. Shadow on the couch and Cloud in my room. I fixed some lunch and ate with Tyler on the couch, Cloud sitting next to me.
As we ate, I thought about what the dragons had told me. The threats that were out there and who I truly was. We spent the rest of the afternoon playing games and with the cats before eating dinner and I collapsed on my bed with a book, Cloud laying on my chest.
That night when I went to sleep however, I never would expect something to happen that did.
*gasp* what happened? I have no idea! Chapter isn't done, hopefully I can get it done by Saturday. And taking this from somebody I read, "To review or not to review, that is the real question." Or something like that. Anyway, hope to hear from you guys soon. See you Saturday! :)
