Three

The following morning Scott came running down the stairs like a bull to grab a cereal bar on the way out, hoping to take their new car before Rose got up only to find she was already up. A delicious smell wafted through the kitchen as Rose expertly flipped a pancake off the frypan and onto an already large pile of pancakes.

She twirled the pan around in her hand and tossed it into the sink with a gleeful jump before turning around. "Eat up, baby bro. We got a long day of school!" Rose smiled at her twin but she could smell that there was something different about him, he didn't smell like Scott anymore but more like wet dog.

Scott sat down at the table and pulled four pancakes in his direction before covering them in syrup whilst Rose cleaned up. "This is awesome!" he grinned, his mouth full of food.

Rose grinned and sat down. For her first day of school she was wearing a pair of skinny black jeans with a pair of red Chuck Taylors and a white shirt that said been there, done that, got the t-shirt underneath a blood red jacket with a hoodie. "You okay?" she asked, a look of slight concern on her face. "You didn't come home till really late and you left a little bit of blood on the bathroom. I found it when I woke up this morning."

In actual fact Scott had been incredible with his clean up last night but Rose had been able to smell the blood as soon as he came in. Scott washed his breakfast down with a glass of milk. "Something attacked me last night."

Rose raised an eyebrow. "Something attacked you last night?" she quoted. "Like what?"

Scott shrugged. "Some kind of wolf, I think."

Rose looked at her watch and swore. "Shit! I gotta go to school! I have to be at the office to enrol. Need a lift?"

Scott shook his head. "No, I'll take the bike. Thanks for breakfast."

She ignored him and ran to the door where her bag and keys waited. Rose grabbed them as she dashed out the door, jumping over the railing with cat-like grace to get to her car. The older McCall twin had already made up her mind to go back to the woods after school and find out what the hell had happened out there and find the so called wolf that attacked her brother. She would be back in time to have her welcome back dinner with their mum but first she needed to find out what was wrong with Scott and why he smelt so weird to her.

The secretary behind the desk appeared less than thrilled to see Rose when she came into the office with her enrolment papers. Honestly, Rose would hardly blame her considering that she had set fire to the garbage bin just to get out of detention which got her in more trouble.

"Good morning, Mrs Waters!" Rose grinned. She handed the aged secretary her papers and waited for her to sort her out. "How are you this fine morning?"

She rolled her eyes. "Fine until you got here!" she grumbled.

Rose dug around in her bag and produced a small wooden box that she handed to Mrs Waters. "This year is going to be better!" she announced. "I have learnt the error of my ways and brought you this as a peace offering gift."

Hesitantly, Mrs Waters opened the box and paused at the boxes contents. Rose knew that she was a great cat lover so she had brought back a cat's eye ring to hopefully make amends. "My dear, this is gorgeous!" she exclaimed, utterly surprised at Rose.

"That's a Chrysoberyl Cat's Eye," Rose explained. "It's my way of saying sorry I was such a bitch."

Mrs Waters closed the box. And sat it down in front of her. "Bear with me a moment dear and I shall get you your schedule." Rose grinned and sat back, waiting for her papers and her locker details. It wasn't too much longer that Mrs Waters came back with everything she needed. "You've got English first. Have a lovely day, dear. Be sure to stop by for a chat when you can. I'd love to hear about your time in Brazil."

A smirk crossed her face as she left the office, Rose had noticed that she was wearing the ring. As she sussed out her way to the library, Rose noticed that the school was starting to fill up with students ready for the new school year and all the smells that came with it. She wrinkled her nose and carried on.

The librarian was more than happy to give Rose the books she would need for this term on a two week loan until she could get her own text books. By the time the elder McCall came out, the school was bustling with students. This made the stanch of horny teenagers and perfume more than she could handle. In a rush to get to her locker, Rose slammed straight into Jackson Whittemore-the last person she wanted to see.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Rose McCall," he sneered with his little clique right behind him. "Slept with any random men lately?"

Rose shrugged. "No, have you."

The look on his face was absolutely priceless.

She dug through her bag and tossed him the little bottle of water in her bag. "Best be putting some water on that burn," Rose smirked as she pushed past him. "Hey, Danny," she grinned, genially happy to see Danny Mahealani. The only person in Jackson's following of wannabe boy band members.

"Hey Rose," he replied, ignoring Jackson's glare. "Heard you got attacked by some kind of wild animal?"

Rose nodded. "Sure did, I'll catch up with you later."

She headed towards her English class and took a seat up the back, waiting for the class to start. When Stiles and Scott came in, she winked at them and sat back, reading over the syllabus for the year.

The teacher came in and looked over the class. He seemed to be disappointed over the pick of the litter this year. He sighed. "As you know, there indeed was a body found in the woods last night. And I am sure your eager little minds are coming up with various macabre scenarios as to what happened. But I am here to tell you that the police have a suspect in custody, which means you can give your undivided attention to the syllabus which is on your desk outlining this semester."

Rose sighed and closed out all other things but her and Scott. She had smelt something similar to his scent in the forest, where the body was found. The scent her twin was giving off was similar to the scent that she gave off, hers was more refined and earthy whilst his was wild. Her eyes snapped open and fell on her brother's back.

She wasn't sure what Scott was but Rose was sure that Scott McCall was no longer human.

++++++ I've been giving some thought to Rose's form when she turns and whether or not she can take the full werepanther form like Peter Hale can. I'm picturing a humanoid-panther with black fur all over, yellow eyes, claws, ears and an actual tail. Yes, that's right, Rose McCall will have a tail so you can imagine the jokes from Stiles. If you picture anything different, please give me a shout out and tell me your ideas. Thanks ++++++
