Hey guys this is the second chapter of the rewrite and the beginning of the new style that I'm doing. I've decided to start doing it in different people's POV so that you get a bigger picture of what's going on. Again I do apologise if there are any grammatical or spelling errors. There might be a bit less action for a while as I've decided to spread things out a bit so Kayla and Derek can get to know each other a bit better *wink wink* haha. As always reviews are welcomed and appreciated. Oh and a big hello to the new followers of this story damonadark-hunterfan69 and the crazy brit! Hope you enjoy it! - SnowandStark
I woke up in the morning, early and well rested. I quickly got dressed into a pair of skinny jeans and Derek's jumper. I pulled on my converses and braided the sides of my hair so that it was out of the way. I applied a small amount of makeup to make my eyes stand out even more and then I made my way downstairs. Scott was sat at the table eating his breakfast. I sat in the chair next to him and stole one of his slices of toast to which I got a bit of an earful. "Do you want me to drop you off at school today?" Scott's face lit up,
"What in the Impala?" I laughed at him.
"Yes in the Impala, and if you're really good I might even rev the engine when I get into the school car park." He laughed at that and ran off to go finish getting ready. I shouted at him up the stairs, "Will Stiles need picking up too?" I heard a door open and Scott stuck his head out,
"No, he has his own Jeep." I went outside and sat on the hood of the Impala waiting for Scott. I heard him coming downstairs so I got up. "Ready?" He ran outside with his bag on his back carrying his lacrosse gear. He got in the passenger side while I put his things in the boot. I hopped in my side and started the car, a satisfying noise could be heard as it purred to life. It was only a short drive to the school but I think Scott was enjoying it. We pulled into the school car park and I made sure that I revved the engine loudly to get the kids attention. I pulled up at the sidewalk and hopped out at the same time as Scott did. I popped open the boot and grabbed his things. I walked round to the other side where I found Scott stood with Stiles, ogling my car. "You like it?" He nodded his head and walked over to it, placing a hand gently on the hood. I looked around and noticed that loads of people were staring at me so I decided that it was my time to leave. "Hey Scott I'm going to head out, people are staring." He laughed at me and gave me a quick hug. I walked over to Stiles and planted a kiss on his cheek which made him turn a dark shade of red. I quickly hopped into the driving seat and sped out of the parking lot. I found myself heading towards the animal clinic on the edge of town. It didn't take me long to get there and I pulled into one of the parking spaces, next to a beautiful black Camaro. I got out and started to walk towards the entrance. The door chimed as I walked in, a smile spread across my face as the familiarity came flooding back to me. I was brought back from my reverie by the sound of footsteps. "Can I help you?" I turned around and looked at the Doctor. I smiled at him and took a step forward. He seemed to realise who I was as he opened up gate and let me in. "Kayla. Wow you've grown a lot!" I laughed at him and pulled him in for a hug,
"I've missed you Doc." He smiled at me and patted my back soothingly.
"I suppose that your here for the hunters then?" My smile faded slightly and I looked down at my feet and sighed. "Yeah, after what they did they deserve all they get." Doc nodded slightly and put his arm out indicating that I should enter the surgery room. The first thing that I noticed when I entered the room was the mutilated body laid down on the operating table, the second was Derek stood in the corner. "You got my jumper then?" I only smiled at him and walked over to the body. I lifted the man's head up and turned it to the side slightly. I saw that there was a small incision on the back of the man's neck. I continued to look at the wounds on his torso and saw that they were what killed him. "Do you know what did this to him?" I directed my question to Doc but both men looked at me.
"No not really but something's telling me that you might have an idea." I frowned slightly and carried on looking at the man's injuries. "Hmmm. I've read about something like this somewhere. The creature is part human, the animal side takes over and tries to find a master. Someone to control it and tell it what to do. They paralyse their victims by slashing the back of their necks with a toxin coated claw. Once the victim has been paralysed the animal then goes on to kill the person. More often than not the murders are connected in some way because the person controlling the creature will likely be using the creature as some sort of revenge weapon." Derek walked behind me,
"You sure know a lot about it. Do you have any idea what it's called?" I looked up at Derek then across at Doc. "Kanima." Doc stepped forward a hand on his chin,
"Yes, I remember hearing about such a creature. They reflect everything that their master does, for example if the master is afraid of something then so will the kanima." Derek looked down at the body a deep look of concentration on his face. "So we need to see if it has any fears and then we can match it to a person." He looked at me, a slight sparkle in his eyes.
"Uhuh, and we need to see if there are any connections between the killings. That's more than likely where we'll find our answers." He made a satisfied noise and started to walk out.
"Where are you going?" He turned back around and looked at me,
"Come with me and you'll find out." I said a quick goodbye to Doc and headed out of the animal centre with Derek. He went over to the black Camaro and my mouth dropped open. He caught me staring and leant on the hood. "I know it's not quite as good as yours but I like it." I closed my mouth, realising that I must look absolutely ridiculous. Derek opened the passenger side door for me and I slipped in. Derek jumped in and quickly switched the car on, making sure that he made lots of noise doing it. He sped away from the animal clinic and into the abandoned warehouse area of town.
Derek's POV
I decided that I was going to take her to my current place. I don't know why but I feel like I can trust her with anything. I looked at her out of the corner of my eye, she had her head rested against the window, her long brown hair falling in cascades around her face. Her eyes were partially closed but you could still see the brilliant green colour of her eyes peeking out. Her eyelashes were long enough to touch her cheeks and if you looked close enough you could see the light scattering of freckles on her nose and cheeks. Her lips were a red colour that made me want to reach across and kiss her...
I quickly snapped myself away from those sorts of thoughts because I couldn't bare to lose someone again. We drove in comfortable silence, Kayla was humming to herself and I was fully content to just be in her presence. It didn't take us long to reach the abandoned train yard that I was currently calling home. I switched the car off and got out gesturing for Kayla to follow me. "Wow, this place is certainly different." I looked at her and there was a slight smile on her lips and she was nervously playing with the sleeve of my jumper. "You don't have to be nervous Kay, I'm not going to hurt you." She looked up at me and a slight blush spread across her cheeks. "Oh, it's not that Derek it's just I've never been in another pack apart from my parents. It just might take some getting used to is all." I smiled and walked up to her. I gently placed my hand on the small of her back and started to guide her inside, away from any possible enemies. "You do know that we can both be alpha's right?" This made me look down at her, a frown on my face. "How does that even work?" She laughed at me and stopped walking, turning around to look at me. "Well my parents were both alphas and they were absolutely fine. I think that most of the time if the there is an alpha pair then they can work together. It probably helped that they were together and married. I don't know maybe it will work?" She shrugged slightly and looked down at her feet. "Well I suppose that there's no harm in trying." I don't know why but I was finding myself to be very tolerant around Kayla, I felt safe and relaxed for the first time in a while. "Come on I'll show you around."
