My alarm woke me up to the sounds of a punch bag being tossed about in the gym in the basement, and as that room is pretty hollow, I walked downstairs still in my pyjamas, which was a plain red tank top and black yoga pants, I saw my uncle trying to knock the stuffing out of the punching bag. "You do know that how ever many times you punch it, it won't punch back so you can stop trying to kill" he growled at me "wow woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?" he glared at me and I put my hands up in mock surrender, "wow sheesh take a chill pill, want breakfast Rocky balboa?" he nodded and resumed his killing of the punch bag. I laughed at his vigour and went up to the kitchen and prepared pancakes bacon and sausage with a side of hash browns for me, the little English breakfast snacks were absolutely delicious, as they were another thing I had picked up on when we moved around. When the food had cooked, I yelled for my uncle, not that I needed to as he could hear me from a mile away with his senses, he walked into the kitchen drenched and wreaking of sweat and blood was on his knuckles as per usual. "not a word Marie" my middle name seemed to drip of his tongue like a threat and I just shrugged it off like water off a ducks back.
As I went upstairs I was thinking about the whole Scott being a werewolf, and now I knew Stiles knew it made the whole thing a lot easier, I keep too many secrets to be healthy. I put on a new scarlet check shirt, blue skinny jeans and flat black sandals, I slipped on my bronze twine bracelet and grabbed my bag, I managed to put on a little eye liner on my water line and chap stick, and got in my car.
As I drove I thought a bit more about the whole wolf thing, what it would mean, how it would change lives, especially Scotts life, who it was that changed him as I know it was Derek as it wasn't possible. Through school I zoned out a lot thinking of my memories mainly of my dad and my other family. My past is still to hard to remember. After school there was a lacrosse practice as usual. I sat on the stand seats close to the bench so I could be near to Stiles "lets go" the coach yelled "one on ones from up top" I had no clue what they were on about so I was just going to cheer when Scott or Stiles did well "Jackson", so that was his name, he called to the boy who was going out with Lydia "take a long stick today" he reached down to change sticks and saw me looking at him, I looked away when he gave me a smirk "atta boy" the guys ran out on to the field as the coach blew the whistle. The game progressed violently, with me flinching at the tackles some of the guys did. The coach was being quite harsh to the players as they practised "McCall! What are you waiting for? Lets go" he pointed towards the goal area and Scott weakly charged towards Jackson but Jackson knocked him down to the floor and I winced at the brutality. The coach stalked towards them "hey McCall" Jackson said something to Scott but I didn't pick it up, "my grandmother can move faster than that and she is dead" the coach belittled him "do you think you can move faster than the lifeless corpse f my dead grandmother?" I glared and ground my teeth at the harshness of the coach, he made Scott repeat the attempt to shoot the goal again, but as he tackled him again it was Jackson who was knocked to the floor seemingly in pain. I rushed over to Scott as he sunk to his knees clutching his head in pain. I knelt next to Scott and Stiles "get him out of hear before something happens" I hissed at him, I got up to walk away "hey pixie girl" the coach called to me "my name is Meridithe!" I calmly spoke to him "yeah whatever don't care do you have a car and if you do can you take pain ridden boy over here to hospital" this man really pushes my control, I nodded at him and said "hey have you not noticed something, I kinda can't lift him, so yeah may need a tiny bit of help" I closed my thumb and forefinger about 5cm apart from the other. A tan skinned boy that I remembered was in goal carefully helped my take him to my car and then went back to practise. As I drove to the hospital he was whining about how it hurts and how Scott was 'going to pay for this' I sighed "can you stop whining its probably just a dislocation" he glared at me "how the hell would you know" I glared back "I have seen my fair share of injuries" I turned my head back to the road, but he was quietly in pain for the rest of the journey, which wasn't for long. I helped him through the doors and showed him to the nearest doctor, nodding my head I began to walk away "hey thanks Meridithe" I froze and replied "welcome" he remembered my name. But now wasn't the time for stupid crushes on guys, it was the time for business.
Later on that evening after a particularly brutal and bloody training session which I knew was going to bruise me in the morning, I got a text from Stiles
ST: hey DeeDee we going to the old hale place wanna come with, if you do meet round mine in 5
I told my uncle where I was going and texted Stiles back, M: I'm there lemme change first
I changed out of my workout gear and put on a pair of black jeans, a black off the shoulder top with a twisted tank top on the front, my black vans and my black evil bunny necklace that Scott bought me ages ago saying that its was like me and I was like the evil bunny as it was small sweet and completely psychotic and so was I, I punched him on the arm and gave him a dead arm for that comment.
As I got outside to the car the boys raised there eyebrows at me "what incognito style is in fashion at this precise moment" I grinned at them "so lets get this show on the road" and I jumped into the Jeep as I would have not been able to reach it otherwise and we sped off, I could feel myself getting cold so I nudged the compartment in the seat next to me and grabbed the spare jacket that I knew Stiles kept there "you know it amazes me how you can remember trivial things like that but forget huge things like birthdays" I groaned "that was one time and I said I was sorry a million times and I made you a toffee cake from scratch what else will it take?" I fake cried trying to make him feel guilty, which always did and always will. He relented his teasing of me and I grinned knowing I had won this round.
When we arrived at the house, it chilled me how daunting and scary the place was. We got out and the boys set to work digging up the dirt, I held the flashlight for them as I wasn't going to help them so I went and leant against the tree, I so could vouch and say that I was nowhere near the site, I could smell him here but there was something else that was confusing me, as there was something else there that I couldn't place. After about half and hour or so I had reduced myself down to sitting on the dirt and the pile of dug up dirt had become considerably larger, the boys were debating on what to do if he caught us, I knew what I would do, I would use my talents to make myself scarce. I know I should tell them but I just can't, Stiles voice pulled me out my thoughts "alright stop stop stop" he put a hand on Scotts arm restraining him from doing any more digging.
I came closer and shone the light on the hole they had dug, they both knelt down and moved away the dirt with their hands till they found bits of rope and began to untie them "hurry" I could tell Scott was getting anxious "I'm trying, did he have to tie the thing in like nine hundred knots?" after some untying the knots came loose and the pulled apart the bag holding it together, and we saw a severed torso of a wolf, the boys jumped out of their screaming like girls, which made me giggle at the sight of them jumping out of the hole like the wolf is going to bite them. "What the hell is that?" Stiles demanded "it's a wolf" Scott managed to spit out, "yeah I can see that" Stiles spoke, I furrowed my brow it couldn't be? Could it? "I thought you said you could smell blood as in human blood?" Scott shook his head "I told you something was different" he seemed in disbelief.
The boys decided to leave and I was lost in thought. Then I saw a purple flower next to me and stared at it for a moment, the boys must have noticed it too "do you see that flower" Stiles pointed to it "what about it?" Scott seemed a bit lost "I think its wolfs-bane" I decided to give my two cents "also known as aconite" they looked at me and talked about classic werewolf movies, when Stiles came and pulled up the flower which was shown to had rope tied to its roots, he pulled it and more rope came out of the ground, round he went as it seemed to form a spiral. Which meant that what ever killed the thing in the hole was on a vendetta. And they had killed Laura Hale to showcase it to who ever can recognize it.
The next morning I stopped by the house early "any particular reason to this visit hmm?" he questioned me, I showed him the picture of the spiral around the hole and his eyes flashed blue, "they found the rest of Lauras body Derek, they think you killed her and with the half of her corpse buried on your turf the police will see it that way too" he pushed past me "did you try to stop them?" I gulped "DID YOU" he yelled, I took a step back, "well I couldn't exactly say oh no lets not go to the hale house because we will find a dead body buried there and who ever killed is pissed off and will want to kill you too, I am in a very precarious position here I can't tell them that I have know about this subject for years, the alpha wants him Derek and he isn't going to stop, I know from experience what that bastard can do, he killed Rae! Oh and the police are here" I heard the police cars come and I used my talents to leave his house to get to my own. I quickly intercepted Stiles on his way there and jumped into the Jeep, when we got there the police were already there and Scott joined us, leaning against the Jeep, I sat on the bonnet with my legs dangling down as they brought him out in cuffs, he glared at the boys and smirked at me. Stiles being the smart person he is *note the sarcasm* walked right over to the police car sitting in the front he began to talk to him. While Stiles and his dad were distracted and Scott was looking away, I quickly dropped a note through the cage in front of the back seat.
I walked over to Stiles dad "hi is everything ok? Stiles been eavesdropping again?" I smiled, playing up the innocent act "get the hell out of here, and Meridithe please try to keep my son out of trouble as difficult a task as it can be" I mock saluted him as we walked away when we were back at the truck I slapped him round the back of the head "ow what was that for?" I rolled my eyes "for being an idiot, you do realise he probably could have tore through the metal barrier in an instant?" he blanched "yeah didn't think so" I walked away and got in the trucks back seat, I was knocked out of my seat "hey what gives?" Stiles was swerving the truck, Scott was sweating and holding on to the ceiling of the truck like his life depended on it "pull over" he demanded "why what's happening?" Stiles was seemingly very confused I grabbed Stiles bag and with Scott opened it and saw the wolfs-bane laced rope "you kept it?" I yelled at the same time Scott did "what was I supposed to do with it?" Scott kept groaning "STOP THE CAR" he yelled and started to go all wolf like. I watched as Stiles swerved the truck and ran out of the seat as Scott ran in the opposite direction, Stiles tossed his backpack into the trees "ok we're good if.." and he cut himself off as he saw that Scott had gone "yeah we have a small situation" as we drove Stiles tried calling the dispatch woman to see if anybody had reported anything as I sat quietly until he dropped me off. I couldn't go to the lacrosse game so I texted Stiles to let him know and now I had to do some digging around to do.
I grabbed my car keys and went to the jail where Derek was being held and snook past the guards. I managed to swipe the keys and get into the holding cells, which would be singular and secluded for him as he was an apparent murderer. When I got there he was sat in a corner making his nails go wolf sharp and then back to human again. When he saw me he growled. I held up my hands "what are you doing here and why did you let them arrest me?" he looked very annoyed with me "what? I couldn't exactly say 'don't arrest him he isn't the one you are after, you are after something else, but we don't know who it is, where they are, what they are doing or what they even look like so yeah you should just let him go' because that would about as much use as a chocolate saucepan" he sniffed "you never cease to amuse me" I scoffed "well at least I'm comforted to know that I have a purpose in life and that is to amuse you, however back on track who could have a vendetta against you? That is what the spiral means right?" he looked at me blankly "I'll take that as a no then" I heard the guards coming, they must have heard me "must dash" and I quickly jumped out of the window next to me, lucky we were on the ground floor so I just flattened myself to the floor, if he doesn't know then I'm back to square one
