Chapter 3

"Hello?" I called into the dark burned down house, "Is anyone here?" I walked into the middle of the landing.

"Why are you here?" the guy asked as he appeared behind me. I jumped.

"God you scared me!" I placed by hand on my heart. He just looked at me, blankly.

"Oh yeah I want to say thank you! You know for saving my life and all." I told him.

"Is there anything I could do in return?"

"No!" He told me.

"I err...I got you...umm...well its nothing really." I looked down and pulled out a book out from my shoulder bag. He looked at me then to the book in my hand. I handed him the book. He just looked at it.

"I'm wondering what is your name, you never told me," I asked.

"My name is Emily Parker." I gave a small wave.

"Derek, Derek Hale!" I walked over to him so I was in front of him.

"Well thank you Derek Hale for saving my life. I hope I can pay you back." I patted his back before I left.

"Did she just...?" He looked confused.

-:-

I went flying into the opposite wall. I groaned.

"Come on Parker you signed up for this! Show me you can do this".

"Well can I at least rest? We've been training for hours." I finally got up. I ran and tackled the trainer. He fell back, as I stood my ground getting into my fighting stance.

"Now that's more like it!" He smirked and stood up. He ran and threw a punch at me which I dodged. I span around and kicked him in the stomach. He fell back with a thump. I smirked.

"Well done Parker. That's us for the day."

I walked over to the side grabbed my sports bag before walking out after saying bye.

-:-

I'm doing push ups and pull ups in my room when suddenly someone jumped into my room. I screamed and Stiles screamed like a girl.

"Stiles! What are you doing?" My heart was beating fast.

"I need to tell you to stay away from Derek Hale!" Huh?

"He's not good for you and..." He got distracted at looking at my stomach.

"Stiles!" I yelled as I covered up my upper half.

"That's scar is awesome!" he said. I rolled my eyes. "You don't normally wear a sports bra thing...A cropped t-shirt...that's like that...?" Stiles rambled on.

"Want to stay for dinner?" I asked

"Yeah," Stiles agreed. "Thanks!"

The next day I spent with Mr Argent learning all about wolves, guns, arrows and bows. Let me tell you it's not easy learning all about this. Every so often he gave me a quiz to see if I had learned anything.

Later that week I met Kate.

"So you're Emily?" Kate asked.

"So you're Kate?" I mimicked. She smiles.

"I like her. So, Chris, where did you find her?" she asked he brother.

He told her, "She's Allison's friend. I found out that she was attacked by a wolf and I got her to join us. She's one of us now." Kate walks over to me and circles me life a wolf circles its prey. I gaze at her while she inspects me closely.

She smiles and hugs me. I just stood there and eventually hug her back.

"Nice to meet you," she says as we pull away from the hug. "Listen I will see what you've got later. I'm going shopping with Allison." She told me and walks away. I gave Mr Argent a confused look when she was gone.

"What? We need more help she's been here for a month now. And you're almost ready to go out hunting that's why I called you over to meet her."

"So was that it?" I asked. He nodded.

"You should be going hunting with Kate soon." He told me.

"Why?"

"There's a lot you can learn from her." I nodded. Mr Argent gave me a book and told me to read it. I groaned. Great, more homework. He shook his head.

"That book will help you!" He told me sternly

"Sorry" I said and walk away.

A month passed. He took me to the basement and showed me just another werewolf.

"Don't worry it's no one you know."

"No one I know?" I repeated. Mr Argent just looked at me.

"Look." He showed me all the things that wolf had done. All the pictures were gruesome. Blood and guts splattered the ground surrounding the torn victims.

"Now we know what he's done. Kill him!"

"What?" I asked shocked.

"Here," Kate handed me the knife when she joins us.

"Kate, not yet!" Mr Argent says.

"Just kill him" she says. She put me in front of the tied up wolf. I raised the knife. I looked at the wolf. He looked just as scared as I am. Well maybe he's worse. He was a monster but I couldn't kill someone. I backed up.

"I can't! I can't do this!"

"Fine I'll do it!" Kate took my knife and walked up to the werewolf and in one smooth motion she slit its throat open. Blood splattered on her clothes. I screamed covering my mouth in horror. She smiled as she turns around, "And that's how to kill a werewolf."

"He probably did not know what he was doing!" I cried, "How can you just kill him!"

I sobbed, "He could of had a family" I fell to my knees in front of the dead wolf. I tried to compose myself.

"Emily," Mr Argent says. "Sorry" The next thing that happened was a blur. He hit me in the back of my head. I blacked out.

-:-

I woke up tied to a chair in a dark abandoned room. I was panicking. Mr Argent stood in front of me.

"What are you doing to me? What the hell!" Mr Argent kneeled in front of me.

"All of the hunters do this test. To see what you can do when you have nothing at all. So try and escape!" He walked away.

"Wait Mr Argent!" I called after him. I just screamed and then sighed. This is going to be a long night. I want my bed.

-:-

After what seemed like hours of struggling I finally got free. I ran up the stairs and saw I was in Derek's house. What the..? Why here? I ran out of the house and saw one of the other hunters by his car.

"Not bad Emily. An hour and a half." He smiled, "You beat me!" I smiled while rubbing my wrists.

"Can I please go?" I asked.

"Yeah sure I can take you back home" I ran my hand through my hair. "It's ok I'd like to walk home."
He nodded as I slowly walked off.
