The next day brought a whole new set of events for Bonnie, she was going to learn Taekwondo! She was super excited because she was a clumsy runner so her chances of escape when a car was nowhere in sight was zilch. Derek informed Scott that Bonnie was safe and with him, he also let him know the full details of what occurred last night. By the time Derek gave Bonnie his full attention, she was bouncing of the walls with excitement.
"You are really excited about this, aren't you?" He smiled.
"Hell yeah! Do you know how awesome this is? I always trip over when I run, did last night." Bonnie showed Derek her knees and elbows. "I can go so far without tripping but my feet seem to have a mind of their own sometimes." She laughed, half-heartedly.
"Well, let's begin." Derek began showing Bonnie simple steps. He began with some stretches, even though she may be in a situation that she was unable to do so, when practicing it was always good to do. Later, Derek showed her basic techniques for kicks, form and sparring. She found it very hard to concentrate but she managed to get through without making herself look like a fool.
"Okay, let's have a break." Bonnie collapsed right where she was while Derek brought over some food to eat.
Sleep came like a welcomed friend by the time Derek allowed Bonnie to finish for the night and he dropped her off home, walked her to her room and waited for her to curl up in bed and by the time her head hit the pillow, Derek was walking out the door. Scott and Stiles were walking towards his car when he closed the front door.
"How'd it go?" Derek smiled a wicked smile at Stiles.
"She would drop you in a second but she may have been able to do so before hand anyway." Stiles faked hurt.
"I am pretty handy with a bat, you know." Stiles always avoided conflict, he and Lydia were always left behind when fighting needed to happen and he was okay with that.
"So they won't give up hunting her?" Scott pondered over the fact that even though he was a True Alpha his small pack of misfits would not be enough to protect Bonnie and, if need be, the town.
"No, they are adamant on using her for the ritual." Derek clenched his fist. He wished he was strong enough to do something but he couldn't do much.
"We could look for recruits?" Both Scott and Derek looked at Stiles. "Well, we know that Beacon Hills is full of supernatural beings. We know some at school, we could enlist their help." Scott knew who Stiles was talking about but wasn't sure whether the students in question were friends or foes.
"What else is there in Beacon Hills?" Bonnie had no idea that there were more out there. She knew that they weren't the only ones but had never really met any other beings.
"Kitsune, Were-Coyote, Windego, Kanima. We aren't sure on what else is out there yet." Lydia looked up in surprise.
"I may know a few Omega's needing a pack." Everyone looked at her with shock. "What? You think you guys are the only supernatural beings I know?"
It was hard to get word to others. Some were in other classes and others were even younger years but by the end of the day, they managed to round up 3 new recruits. Derek met everyone at the safest place to put a whole lot of supernatural beings, the basement at the old Hale house.
"Are you all willing to swear loyalty to your Alpha?" Derek had announced to the group about what happens in the pack. The trust, loyalty and kinsman-ship. One of the newbies raised a hand.
"Um, one problem. I'm not a werewolf." She was a young Asian girl who had recently been transferred from New York with her parents.
"And I'm a were-coyote." The other girl stood strong and looked strangely familiar to Derek.
"It's still the same rules that apply, no matter what you are. Once you are in, only way out is banishment. Or death." Bonnie shuddered. She looked around at her new friends and even the new additions, no-one seemed concerned by the threat of death. Maybe because they had fought more battles than any group of teens had.
"We're in." All three said in unison. A werewolf, kitsune and were-coyote all swearing loyalty to an Alpha they hardly knew but trusted enough to follow. They were all brought up to speed and the even revealed small things about themselves to gain the trust of everyone else. Kira, the kitsune, only recently discovered her powers when a madman kidnapped her in New York. Malia, a born were-coyote, adopted into a family and has no idea who her biological parents are; she lives with her dad after her mum and sister were killed in a car accident. Liam, werewolf, turned by an Alpha in another town recently who never returned as his family moved to Beacon Hills before his first full moon.
"Let's call it a night." Scott and Allison lead the way towards the cars. "We will talk more this weekend unless something happens beforehand. Keep an ear out for anything suspicious and text me or Stiles." Bonnie watched as everyone jumped into different cars, she followed Lydia when Derek pulled her aside.
"Tomorrow night?" She nodded and Derek smiled slightly. "Make sure to bring a change of clothes this time."
Sorry about the delay. Life.
