Caught Between Two Worlds

Finally lunch time. Only 2 more hours of classes left. I'm sitting next to Allison, Scott and Stiles. They're all having a conversion about the next few games. I was quiet; staring at my food; thinking of the mountain lion. Its glowing red eyes shining in the moon light. Its white sharp teeth. Its bulky body.

"EM!" I was pulled out of my thoughts by Allison.

"My dad said he found your camera yesterday when he was out. You can pick it up when you're at mines for dinner," she told me.

"Oh cool thanks," I smiled slightly.

"Are you ok Emily?" Scott asked me.

"Huh? Yeah I'm fine just never slept well last night." I told him. This is true, only because I can't stop thinking about the attack. The bell rang. "Great two hours of maths," Stiles groaned. I laughed as I walked away.

Once I got home I took a shower and got changed into black leggings and a simple t-shirt. I grabbed my car keys and drove off to Allison's. Once I got there she greeted me with a hug and a smile. When we pulled away Mr. Argent was standing at the door.

"Hi Mr. Argent," I greeted him and gave a small wave. He smiled. "Hello Emily," he said.

"Emily I was wondering if we can talk." I gave a confused look to Allison. She just shrugged her shoulders. Nodding I followed him into the house and into the garage.

What I saw frightened me slightly. Guns: different kinds, different makes and different styles.

"Here's your camera" he said passing it to me.

"Thanks" I smiled slightly.

"So what happened yesterday?" he asked.

"I was taking pictures in the woods." I said.

He looked at me. "No I meant after that. What happened to your stomach?" I was shocked how did he know I got hurt?

"I was att...attacked by a mountain lion," I said.

"Emily I'm going to tell you something." He looked at me and took a step forward.

"I charged your camera. Look at your camera; look at the pictures. Look at them!" he told me. I nodded and looked at them. There it was; the thing that attacked me. Its blood red eyes, white sharp teeth with a tint of red on them. It's big body. I gasped and dropped my camera. I took a few steps back. "Th...that was no mountain lion was it?" I asked. He shook his head.

"No it wasn't. It was a wolf!" he told me. I laughed at him. Does he know how stupid he sounds right now! "There's no wolfs in California," I reminded him.

"You're right but there are werewolves," Mr. Argent says seriously.

"What?" I asked.

"You were attacked by a werewolf, an alpha, to be exact."

I shook my head. "Yeah right sure I was," I laughed. "Emily!" he said sternly. I took a few steps forward so he was in right in front of me. He placed his hands on my shoulders. I sighed.

"Look, Emily, I need your help with this. You have now seen what they can do. What they could do," he pauses. "The wolf could have killed you! Could have bit you! It could have put you in hospital. He could of left you seriously injured." Looking down with tears in my eyes I bit my lip.

"Please Emily I'm one man down." He pleaded, "You can help make Beacon Hills a better, safer place for everyone". I wiped my eyes and looked up.

"Why me? You can get anyone else. Anyone who can handle themselves! I can't even fight," I stated.

"You can! You can handle this. Allison says you are a fast learner! And you never give up!" He told me. I cried.

"Emily?" He asked. I wipe my eyes.

"This is not me. This is not me!" I yelled kicking the garage wall.

"Emily!" he said grabbing my shoulders and shaking me. I yelled.

"Snap out of it." He stopped shaking me. I wiped my eyes. "Sorry." I said.

He sighed, "Emily please help. You can do this. I saw your grades at school. Your gym grade is really good. You can do this! I know you can."

I sighed. "Can I think about it?" I asked.

He nodded. "Of course you can!"

"DINNER!" We both heard Ms. Argent call for us.

After an extremely awkward dinner of small talk and long silences Mr. Argent pulled me aside. "Have you decided yet?" He asked. I nodded. "Yeah I'll help you." I smiled slightly.

"Great thanks Emily." He smiled. "I'll help you, I'll train you and we will start tomorrow!" he said. "You will need to learn how to fight. I'll pay for your lessons."

"Great I've always wanted to learn kickboxing!" I grinned. He just laughed.

Before I said my goodbyes I asked if Allison knows about this; about what he does; about what he's making me do. He said she does not and he would like to keep it that way 'til she's 18. He thinks she won't handle it well.

Once I got home and changed into my pajamas I made myself a cup of tea to calm my nerves. Once I drank it I went to bed. I can't seem to sleep. I can't stop thinking about these last few days especially today. I was thinking what's going to happen now? Did I make the right decision? Did I just make a mistake? Is it too late to change my mind? Suddenly my mind started thinking about the guy who saved me. Does he know about werewolves? About everything that happens?

I need to find him and thank him for saving my life.

"What is his name" I asked myself out loud. "Did he say?" After a few hours I finally fell asleep. I had nightmares about myself, turned into a werewolf, killing my friend, my family, everyone. Everything was all bloody. Blood was splattered everywhere. And people were chasing me to kill me, even Mr. Argent was.
