Chapter 8

Few nights before the full moon

I opened the door and a slight jingle of bells indicated I had walked in. I looked around to see white walls and a few chairs lined up along on one side of the wall. The front desk was unattended and I suppose it had to do with the fact that Scott was at lacrosse practice.

"One moment, please." A man's voice called from the back of the office.

I sat on one of the chairs and waited anxiously for Deaton. I was fidgeting like crazy my. My knee was bopping up and down like lunatic. I looked down stopped my leg and realized that Stiles was really starting to affect my behavior. I smile to myself at the thought of my cousin.

"Aria?"

I quickly shoot off of my chair and come face to face with a caramel colored man with a warm smile. I had never actually met Deaton. My mom never even spoke about him. I didn't know they were friends until after she died.

"Yes, that's me. You must be Dr. Deaton?" I reply with an outstretched hand.

He takes my hand and gives it a gentle shake.

"Why don't you follow me to the back?" Deaton states.

I follow him to the back of the veterinary clinic and I find myself in the room where Derek almost died. Images of Derek's lifeless body fill my thoughts and I have to shake my head to get rid of the vile feeling that ripped through my veins.

"Well I'm sorry we haven't met sooner. You know you may look like your father but you carry yourself like your mother." Deaton says with a smile.

That statement hit my chest with a pang. My heart swells with pride at the mere thought of being like my mother.

"Thank you."

I place my backpack on the table and pull out my grimore.

"Before we start I just need to give you something. It has to do with your mother. She kept some important details from you." He says calmly.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

My face must mirror my confusion that is playing inside my head because Deaton expression turns to a pity filled expression.

"Your mother didn't want to worry you. We spoke before her passing and she knew that eventually you and I would cross paths. When we did she wanted you and I to be prepared." He says and pulls out a stool.

He motions for me to sit. I take in a deep breath and I slowly sit as I nervously fidget. I don't think anything good is going to come out of this.

Deaton opens a cabinet and pulls out an envelope. He walks overt to me and places it in my hands.

"I will give you a few minutes." He says and walks out.

I look down to see my name written across the front; in my mother's handwriting. I immediately gasp in surprise and my eyes suddenly become blurry with tears threating to fall. I take a breath and open the envelope through shaky hands.

Dear Aria,

My sweet baby I'm sorry I left you so early and quickly. I want you to know it was never my intention but everything requires balance. Always remember that. Since you are reading this it means you have already met Deaton. I'm writing this letter to you for the purpose of keeping you safe and alive. There were details that I left out when I prepared you for your future. I knew that eventually you would need more guidance and my dear friend Deaton will be able to help you. I taught you the basics of your skills to help you survive but I left out an important detail. I didn't just bind your powers because I was frightened of the hunters. To be perfectly honest they had and will continue to never know what we are. You are special, more special than anyone out there. Aria you are Shoshanna. You are her reincarnation. You are more powerful than you think. Your father, the Hales, and Deaton were the only ones who know or knew. I need you to not panic there is a reason for you being her reincarnation but Deaton will explain this to you. Just know that I have kept you hidden for reasons that are even more life threating and dangerous than hunters. You must understand that I only did this because I love you. I will always love you. Even in death I'm with you. Remember I will never leave you.

All my love,

Mom

P.s. There is something in the envelope and it will protect you always have it with you.

The tears spilled down my cheeks as I read the letter. I didn't understand why my mother decided to keep things from me but I wasn't angry. I was shocked. How could I be Shoshanna's reincarnate? What the hell1?!

I rummage through the envelope and pulled out a silver chain. At the end hung a pendent in the shape of a teardrop with engraved designs of what looked like vines running all over, whips that looked like air from cartoons whipped though some of the vines. At the bottom where the tip of the pendant ended where pieces of what looked like onyx. Designs of what looked like flames erupted form the onyx and reached the middle. The flames encircled a piece of lapis lazuli stone that was centered right in the middle in a perfect circle.

"It's your family's amulet." Deaton says from behind me.

"What is that?" I asked intrigued by the beautiful necklace.

"It's what will protect you."

I looked down at the necklace I had in my grasp and felt a strong connection toward it. I didn't know what it was but it made me feel safe and powerful all at once.

"You know it was originally Shoshanna's. The engravings mean Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water. Put it on and let's get started." Deaton says encouragingly.

I place the necklace over my head and look down to see the amulet nestled at the bottom of my chest. I suddenly feel serine and close my eyes and relqueinesh the feeling that has just consumed me.

The night of the full moon

"I can smell his anger. You were right he is close by." Derek says through his fangs.

I roll my eyes and run alongside him as we track down Scott.

"Of course I was right! I used a spell." I say.

I stopped in my tracks when I come to see Scott perched on top of a car about to pull the top off. The air around picked up a thick fog as Derek tackled Scott off the top of the car. I looked down to my amulet and saw the lapis lazuli shinning. What the heck?! Deaton has some explaining to do.

I run after the guys quickly and discreetly making sure not to be seen by anyone. When I get down to the forest where they are fighting I here growling.

"Scott, stop!" Derek yells at him.

I see Scott trying to but failing to kick Derek's butt. I stand and watch as Derek kicks Scott down and away from him. Scott quickly gets up and runs toward Derek.

"Stop, Scott!" I yell.

As I yell a loud thunder cracks through the air and strike of lighting crashes behind the boys as Derek and Scott are frozen looking at me in awe. Derek quickly shifts back to himself as Scott stays on the floor panting. He looks so scared and I slowly walk toward him and Derek.

"What's happening to me" Scott asks through pants.

His eyes are yellow and primal but hold fear inside of them.

"Exactly what he wants to happen." Derek says.

He looks at me with a face that says We need to talk.

My phone starts ringing.

"Hello."

"Aria, did you find Scott" Stiles asks nervously.

"Yes, he is fine. Can you pick me up?"

"Of course, where are you?"

"I'll be waiting outside the sporting goods store. Bye."

I put my phone back in my pocket and look at Derek helping Scott back up. Scott still in his wolf form but seems to be in somewhat of control.

"If I need you I will call but we need to talk later, okay?" Derek says.

The face he is giving me I know I really don't have a choice.

"Okay."

I trudge up the hill through the forest and can see the parking lot. I can't help but think maybe I was the one who did that. The only question is how? How did create lighting? That isn't possible is it? I need to speak to Deaton and fast.

"Aria!"

I turn around to see Jackson getting out of his car with… ALLISON! Seriously! I turn around and continue to stalk off.

"Wait!" Jackson yells after me.

I don't have time for Jackson drama and especially when that has to deal with Allison! Jackson is suddenly standing in front of me.

"Hey, what were you doing in the forest? You know it isn't safe. Come on I'll give you a ride home." Jackson pleads.

I roll my eyes and look over his shoulder to see Allison standing there watching our interaction. I look back at Jackson and let out a sigh of frustration.

"Seems like you've got your hands busy." My words laced with venom.

I walk around Jackson and take deep breathes trying to control my magic. Deaton was right I would feel more powerful with the full moon.

"Don't assume what you don't know!" Allison yells out.

I immediately turn around and look at her. My face must look as angry as I feel inside; because she shrinks back a little.

"I'm not assuming anything. I am thinking though that Lydia wouldn't be too happy right now." I say with a condescending tone.

Allison's eyes open wide with realization and she immediately starts to walk off. Jackson looks between us and a smirk crosses his face when his eyes land on me.

"Why don't you chase your girl?"

I turn around and continue to walk toward the store. I can hear Jackson's footsteps behind mine and continue to ignore him.

"I don't want to. I want to chase after you." Jackson says.

I suddenly stop in my tracks and feel my heart pang with an ache that I hadn't felt since the first day I saw him after I'd returned. Why would he say something like that? This wasn't the time or place. Actually there was never ever going to be a time or place for this. EVER!

"Stop!" I yell at him.

The wind around us starts to pick up and thunder starts to crash in the sky. Jackson looks at me in surprise.

Life saving and good timing, Stiles headlights shine our faces. I look at Stiles as he sticks his head out of the window and looks at me with concern. I don't look at Jackson I just run to the jeep and pull myself in.

"Let's go." I say.

Stiles doesn't question me and we pull out the parking lot of the sporting goods store.

I look down at my amulet and quickly clasp it in my hands. I rub it in a soothing manner as I try to sort through everything that has happened.

"What's that?" Stiles ask as he looks at my hands.

"It's my family amulet." I say as I look down at it.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no." Stiles says repeatedly.

I look at Stiles to see his face pale and his eyes widened in fear. I look out the window and see cop cars and an ambulance. Then some EMTs pulling a stretcher with a dead body covered in a white sheet.

"It wasn't Scott!" I say immediately.

"There is an Alpha!" He counters.

We both look at each other and even more fear sets in when we don't see my Uncle Jack amongst the cops. Stiles presses the brakes to the jeep and we both jump out yelling for my Uncle Jack.

"Uncle Jack!" I yell out!

Stiles runs up to a cop and pulls on his shoulder desperately.

"Dad?"

When the cop turns around it isn't Uncle Jack and my breath hitches. As Stiles continues to ask if anyone has seen Uncle Jack. I feel tears start to fill my eyes. I see the stretcher and walk towards it.

"Please no! Please not him! Please not another person I love." I whisper to myself.

A hand suddenly falls to the side and is burned badly. I gulp down the lump in my throat as the tears threaten to fall.

A hand grabs my shoulder and gently squeezes it.

"Stiles? Aria?"

I immediately look at the hand on my shoulder and look to see my Uncle. Relief washes over me and I immediately let out a sigh.

"What are you two doing here?" he asks confused.

Stiles and I immediately put our arms around him and pull him into a hug. Uncle Jack pulls us into a tight hug. I feel the tears start to slip of my eyes and down my cheeks.

I walked into my father's new apartment to find it bare as newborn's bottom. The place was extremely spacious with so much open space I could do laps around it. It even had a freaking second level! Seriously, if he thinks I would even consider staying with him. He's delusional. The place reeked of doom and gloom something I'm pretty sure Derek had to do with.

"Derek, I'm here." I yell out.

My voice echoed and I immediately clap my hand over my mouth. Suddenly, a pair of electric blue orbs appears in the darkest corner.

I gasp and place my hand over my chest.

"Seriously, Derek, do you have to do that?" I ask exasperatedly.

He comes walking toward me and my heart picks up a bit but then slowly goes back to normal. Derek still had little effect on me but since I started to really get to know Isaac he literally took my breath away. He knew how to make feel right in all the wrong places.

"I know I've been bothering you a lot lately and I'm sorry." Derek says sincerely.

"No I'm sorry. I'm just on edge."

Derek walks up to me and places a hand on my shoulder.

"Do you want to talk about?" He asks.

I look up at Derek and see the eyes of the boy I knew before his family died.

"It's just weird stuff is happening around me. I don't know I'm probably over thinking it. I just need to talk to Deaton but I haven't had the time. After last night's incident I just need to talk to him." I say.

"You're talking about the lightning bolt?" he asks with his eyebrow arched.

"I'm not crazy then. It wasn't a coincidence?"

"No, I felt your power. I don't know how to explain it but I felt it coming from you." Derek says.

So I wasn't just over thinking the situation. I really had manifested a lightning bolt.

"Hey, are you okay?" Derek asks again.

His face had on a worried expression.

"I'm fine. I'll deal. So what happened? Did you get another lead?" I ask trying to shake off the emotion playing in me.

Derek looks at me skeptically but I sigh and roll my eyes.

"I'm fine. Did you get another lead?" I ask again.

He rolls his eyes at me and walks toward the big window that took up most of wall.

"You're too stubborn. No, I'm going to track the alpha." He says vaguely.

"I'm coming with you."

"No, you will not. I don't want you around me. If people see us together it won't be good."

I feel my blood boil. He still thinks I can't help him. The lights inside the loft start to flicker. Then his words click and my mother's letter comes into my mind. Realization hits me.

"You knew about me being Shoshanna! Didn't you?" I yell out causing the lights to flicker erratically.

Derek turns around and looks at me confused. Then like if for the first time he notices the amulet around my neck. In a second he is standing in front of me.

"Who told you that?" he asks angrily.

"My mother wrote me a letter."

Derek looks at me with sadness behind his eyes.

"I'm sorry. I promised your mother I would never tell you. I was just keeping my promise."

His eyes seem to glisten and I realize that's the closest I would come to ever seeing Derek cry.

"I get it." I reply and turn to walk out.

"Where are you going?" Derek calls out.

"Home since you don't need my help." I reply.

"I didn't say that."

I turn around and see Derek standing with a smirk on his face.

"Can you slow down?!" Scott yells in fear.

"Oh, come on Scotty! You're not afraid of little speed are you?" I say with a smirk.

I taunt him by pressing on the gas pedal.

"I know this is a car chase but come on Aria." Scott pleads.

"Scott, I don't think you get the concept of a car chase." I say rolling my eyes.

"If you go any faster you're going to kill us.

Stiles pops his head in the middle of us and pats Scott on the shoulder.

"Well, if she doesn't go faster, they're going to kill us." Stiles offers in my defense.

I accelerate the speed of the car and turn to my right making a sharp turn and sending Stiles flying into Scott's seat; causing his head to bang into the headrest.

"Oww!" he yells out.

"Hey, they're gone." Stiles says as he rubs his head.

Stiles grabs the scanner from the backseat and presses a button.

All units, suspects is on foot heading into the iron works.

I shift the gears and press the pedal.

"Take another right up front. It should take you straight to the iron works." Stiles instructs.

"I know where I'm going genius!" I say with an eye roll. "Hold on to your panties ladies."

I press the gas and take the turn sending the car into the sharpest turn I've ever made causing the tires to screech.

"Really, as you can see no one is chasing us anymore!" Scott yells out in panic.

I start laughing at this werewolf. He could survive a bullet to the chest if he ever was shot but he was scared of a little speed.

"You know if we crashed you'd survive right?" I ask him.

"Yeah I know. I'm not worried about me. I'm worried about you and Stiles." He says offended.

As if the I had hurt him for not realizing that. I stopped laughing and felt terrible.

"I'm sorry. Scott I know you love us."

He smiles at me and then looks forward. I hear him, he's right by that crane. I speed up and Scott informs me to stop and opens the door.

"Get in!" Scott yells at Derek as he hopes to the back with Stiles.

Derek runs full speed and hops into the car. As I see his feet plant in the car I don't wait for him to close the door. I press the gas and high tail it out of there; with flying bullets and all.

"What part of laying low don't you understand?!" Scott yells at Derek.

I look at Scott and give him a death glare. He shrinks back into his seat.

"Damn it, I had him!" Derek yells in frustration.

"Who the Alpha?" Stiles asks.

"Yes, he was right in front of me, and the friggin' police showed up." Derek yells into Stiles face.

"Oh, hey they're just doing their jobs…" Stiles doesn't finish his statement because Derek gives him deadly look.

"Yeah, thanks to someone who decided to make him the most wanted fugitive in the entire state!" I say as I glare at Scott through the rearview mirror.

"Can we seriously get past that? I made dumbass mistake. I get it." Scott counters.

Stiles pops up next to me.

"All right. How did you find him?" Stiles asks.

Derek looked between the two boys behind with an apprehensive look.

"Can you trust us for at least half a second?" Scott asks frustrated by Derek's actions.

"Yeah, both of us?" Stiles says as he pops up in front of Derek.

Derek gets right back in his face and looks at him with a scowl.

"Or just trust him. I'll be back here." Stiles says as he shrinks back.

Derek looks at me silently asking if he should relay information in front of these two. I nod to him to continue.

"Look, the last time I talked to my sister, she was close to figuring something out. She found two things. The first was a guy named Harris."

"Our chemistry teacher?" I ask in disbelief.

"Why him?" Scott says as he looks between me and Derek.

"I don't know yet!" Derek yells in frustration.

I put the car to a complete stop and look at Scott and Stiles.

"Come on guys give him time to catch his breath! He was just chased by the cops, shot at by some hunters and now you're giving him the third degree!" I yell the two boys.

I know my face must look like I'm ready to kill because both boys look at me and sit back in their seats.

"Thank you." I retort.

I look at Derek and give him a small smile. I am about to put the car in drive when Scotts pipes out.

"What's the second?"

I let out an exasperated sigh.

"Seriously?! Scott!" I yell angrily.

Derek lets out annoyed chuckle at Scott and turns to look at me. He gives me a slight smile.

"Some kind of symbol." Derek pulls out a paper from his back pocket.

Scott looks over to the piece of paper that Derek is holding and runs his hand through his hair and over his face.

"What? You know what this is?" Derek asks angrily.

"I've seen it on a necklace." Scott looks down at his hands. "Allison's necklace."

My head feels like it's about to explode. I look at Scott with annoyed glare. I turn back around toward the road put the car in drive and speed off.

"You're thinking about her in the shower aren't you?" Stiles asks Scott.

I cringe at that statement and let out an exasperated sigh.

"Ew. Seriously?! Did I just have to hear that?" I say as I grab sling my arm over Stile's shoulder.

Scott looks down and blushes. I poke his rib in a playful manner.

"We were actually talking about Scott getting the necklace from Allison." Stiles says.

"Are you two back together?" I ask trying not to be obvious.

I don't want to ruin things for Scotty but I don't trust Allison. Especially with her being a hunter and it doesn't help with her being all over Jackson.

"No." he adds sadly.

I place my hand on his shoulder and give it a comforting squeeze.

"Good. It's better this way."

Scott immediately looks offended and shrugs my hand off his shoulder.

"You know what I don't want to hear it Aria!" Scott says and stampers off.

I look at Stiles and he gives me a shrug.

"Allison is a touchy subject." Stiles defends.

"I'll see you in lunch." I say as I walk away.

I walk toward my locker in a haze. Why would Scott bite my head off? We've been best friends forever and now a girl comes along and my opinion is nothing.

"Aria. Hey." Isaac says.

I'm brought out of my thoughts by Isaac's words and hand moving a piece of hair behind my ear. I look up at him and smile.

"Hey, sorry I was lost in thought." I say.

I pull myself closer and wrap my arms around his waist. I look up at his beautifully sculpted face and smile at him. Isaac leans down and his face is only inches from mine. His eyes turn a darker shade of blue and my heart starts to speed up. I can feel my blood start to warm as he places his hand at the base of my neck and slowly run his hand up to my scalp. I immediately shiver at his hands in my hair. He leans closer and his lips are on mine. My head starts to feel dizzy as his lips lay on mine. I reluctantly pull away and smile at him.

"Well aren't I the luckiest girl to have you all to myself." I say as I rub my hands on his back.

His face immediately flushes and he smiles a shy smile.

"We better get to class." I add and pull away from him,

Isaac immediately groans in protest and tries to pull me back into his arms. I laugh when I'm pressed up against his body.

"We can't be late for class." I say.

Isaac groans as he places his head on my shoulder.

"If you let us hurry and get to class. I promise this can continue after school when we 'study'" I say seductively.

It works because Isaac pulls back grabs my hand and starts rushing to class. Laughs immediately erupt from my chest. Isaac turns around and looks at me with a smirk

"Don't want to be late. Do you?"
