Chapter 2: New Girl in Town

"….Scott…Scott…Scott….." a familiar voice sounded from the distance, Scott felt hazy and light-headed, he couldn't focus, it was like he was drunk. "SCOTT!" He snapped into focus, it was Stiles shouting at him, shaking him out of his remote state. "Hey you ok? You're not looking to good, did you get any sleep last night?" Stiles asked concerned. Before he could answer he looked around to see where he was which was class, "What happened?" Scott said to no one in particular, still confused on the situation, his thoughts only on the dream…."You're sitting there and doing nothing, as if in your mind you're in a far away place. Are you okay?" Stiles pried at him again. "I had the weirdest dream last night…." Scott then began to tell Stiles of his dream, making sure not to miss out on any details. "You think it means anything?" Scott asked concerned. "No, I think that the whole 'no one killing you' has gotten to your head, I think it's time you take it easy for once and just enjoy not being on someone's hit list alright? Just focus on what's important now, it's senior year! The best year of our whole high school existence! Plus you got a great girl, and when have you two been on an actual date? Ok you never got to watch Star Wars, what's wrong with you!" "Sorry, I was too busy getting attacked and kidnapped by Kate and her berserkers", Scott said to Stiles. "Yea well that's no excuse, ok if you actually watched it, you could've learned some Jedi moves, ya know? All the flips and spiny stuff." "Sure Stiles…" The bell rang signaling the end of class, Scott and Stiles got up to go to their next class. Walking through the hall Scott stopped dead in his tracks- it was the girl, the girl from his dream. She was with Coach, he was telling her about the school and where her classes are. Scott quickly raced over to the lockers to make it not so noticeable that he was staring, Stiles followed confused and looked over to the new girl, not thinking much of it or why it freaked Scott out so much. "What are you doing?" Stiles asked. "It's her, that's the girl from my dream!" Scott said rather panicky, his eyes widening. "So the girl you dreamt somehow is now new to our school, why?" "I don't know, but I'm going to find out".

It was now lunch time, all day Scott has been hearing for the girl, finding out what he could about her, but he couldn't find out anything, she was a quiet girl. She sat by herself two tables ahead of Scott and his friends, she was reading a book, seeming to be quite interested in what was written. He paid no attention to his friends and instead stared at the girl, trying to figure her out. Lydia began to notice and looked back at what Scott was staring at, "Why are you staring at the new girl?" she asked rather accusingly, this caused the rest of the group to glance over at her and back to Scott, waiting for his answer. "He dreamt of her", Stiles said for him, Kira looked at Scott, a bit insecure. When Scott noticed her worried expression he answered more truthfully, not wanting to make Kira feel bad. "No not like that, I just, I was lost and she was there and I just want to know why." Scott said reassuring Kira who gave a slight smile in return. Malia had a blank expression on her face, continuing to look back and forth from Scott and the girl, "She seems odd," Malia said. "You don't even know her", Stiles said defensively. "I just don't like people and she's so into that book, I mean who is so interested in reading?" She said annoyed for whatever reason. "People can like reading Malia, that doesn't make them weird". She rolled her eyes at that response and continued to eat her lunch. "And on to a new subject…", Lydia started "Where's Liam?" she asked looking around. "Eh probably hanging out with his little friends". Stiles responded, not really caring for where Liam was. Lunch ended a few minutes later and everyone started to head for their classes. Scott gave Kira a kiss and Stiles attempted to give Malia a kiss but she just walked away. He stood there, mid kiss and nodded his head down, "K then…" Stiles said awkwardly, acting like nothing happened and walked towards his class. Scott was about to enter his class when he bumped into someone, not looking at where he was going. "Oh sorry," a girl said. "Nah it's all good, that was my-" he looked up, it was her "-my bad", Scott said tongue-tied, staring at the girl in shock. She gave him a small smile and nodded at him before entering the class, which Scott did right after her. He went to take his seat while he watched the girl hand the teacher her schedule, then the bell rang and everyone sat in their seats, there was one empty next to him, surely that would be where she will sit. "Class I'd like to introduce your new classmate Kaelin." The teacher introduced her. "So that's her name" Scott thought to himself. The teacher gestured for her to take the seat beside him and he got a bit stiff, when she went to sit down, Scott stared, though she didn't notice, or at least showed that she didn't. The whole class Scott just focused on her, listening to her heart beat which was at a pretty steady beat, occasionally growing faster but then slowing down again. He studied her, noticing her small frame, she had brown hair and brown eyes that oddly seemed warm and kind, she was a bit pale, but it brought out the slight rose shade of her cheeks and lips, though it didn't appear to be makeup. He noticed that she occasionally popped her knuckles and that she had very small, fragile hands. She seemed like an ordinary girl, why he dreamt of her he still didn't know. "Maybe I just dreamt that there was going to be a new student." Scott said to himself, almost trying to convince himself of that explanation. Still, in the back of his mind, he knew there was more to it, this girl was different.

After school ended, Scott headed over to the Animal Clinic to see if Deaton has found anything on the pendant. "The writing is indeed Greek, it reads 'Change is Good', I found that back in Ancient Greece, there was a time of war between the Gods and the Greeks. In order to make at peace, this object was used as the source of power. A spell was cast on it by a Purist, a supernatural being that can only do good, they are like angels basically, guardians of everything good. Her name was Agathe, which coincidentally means good. When she cast this spell, it was used to not only stop the Gods from their horrendous reign, but to rid of all evil- and it worked. Soon after came the time of peace for many years until the object was stolen and cursed. It was unclear what the curse was, but it was buried from existence until recently when it was found, but over the years that it was hidden, it was given a cure- if you will- that helped rid of its power. By now, all it really is is a wooden pendant with a great story, and whoever sent it must've wanted it in the right hands. It's power can always come back. So with that I'm going to keep it in a safe place". Oddly the story made sense to Scott, but why in the dream did it seem like a dangerous thing? And he still couldn't figure out why the girl was there. Scott went home later, he figured it best to clear his head and not spend the whole day thinking about the girl. It seemed almost impossible not to think of her, there was something about her that he needed to know, what that was, he didn't know. But for now she will remain a mystery….

I got to say I'm very proud of this chapter, I came up with the whole Ancient Greece story (clearly) and I didn't know what to call the supernatural being so I just thought that since they are supposed to be good and pure, I'd just call them a Purist (I know, lame). What do you think of the new girl? I also decided to follow with Jeff Davis saying that Stiles and Malia were going to hit a rough road in their relationship. Who knows, they may end up breaking up in my story, sorry Stalia fans. Thank you all so much for reading! I appreciate it so much! And leave reviews if you would like, even if it's constructive criticism, I don't mind. Thanks again and hope you enjoyed!
