I woke up and got dressed, I remembered what Derek had asked me,
" What now?" I asked as I saw Scott leaving, so I followed him, I ended up at a crime scene,
" Why the hell can't I just go home? I'm fine." Jackson told EMT, Sheriff walked up to him,
" I hear ya, but the EMT says you hit your head pretty hard. They just wanna make sure you don't have a concussion." Sheriff informed him, but Jackson smelt of
angry yet underneath it was fear,
" What part of "I'm fine" are you having a problem grasping? Okay, I wanna go home." Jackson said as I crossed my arms,
" Prick" I scolded silently as Sheriff was trying to stay calm,
" And I understand that." Sheriff said as Jackson looked angry,
" No, you don't understand, which kind of blows my mind, since it should be a pretty basic concept to grasp for a minimum - wage rent - a - cop like you! Okay, now,
I wanna go home!" Stiles yelled at him, I see Stiles get out of his dad's car,
" Oh, whoa, is that a dead body?" Stiles yelled, I see a body bag coming out on a gurney,
" Everybody back up. Back up." Sheriff said as I looked up to see Derek and Scott.
" Starting to get it?" Derek asked Scott, he looked down at the scene,
" Uh, I get that he's killing people, but I don't get why. I mean, this isn't standard practice, right? We don't go out in the middle of the night murdering everyone, do
we?" Scott asked as Derek shook his head,
" No. We're predators. We don't have to be killers." Derek said as I shivered, it wasn't cold, I just missed him,
" Then why is he a killer?" Scott asked as Derek shrugged,
" That's what we're gonna find out." Derek said before the two disappeared. I followed them to the Hale Manor, I was on the left side of the house
" You know, I have a life too." Scott said as I heard stair board's creaking,
" No, you don't." Derek responded to my cousin,
" Yes, I do! I don't care what you say about him making me his pet or -" Scott stammered, I was so tired,
" Part of his pack." Derek corrected the boy, my dreaded cousin,
" Whatever. I have homework to do. I have to go to a parent/teacher conference tomorrow because I'm failing chemistry." Scott said as I was surprised, he was
failing Chem, damn,
" You wanna do homework? Or do you wanna not die? You have less than a week until the full moon. You don't kill with him, he kills you." Derek said as I felt the
moon coming, but I stretched.
" Okay, seriously, who made up these rules?" Scott asked as I heard Derek huff.
" It's a rite of passage into his pack." Derek said as I sighed, my moonring hasn't been used in a while,
" You know what else is a rite of passage? Graduating from high school. And you don't have to kill anyone to do it! Why can't you just find him yourself? Why can't
you just sniff him out when he's a human?" Scott argued with Derek, oh no,
" Because his human scent could be entirely different. It has to be you. You have a connection with him, a link that you can't understand. If I can teach you to control
your abilities, you can find him." Derek said as I sighed, this is getting on my nerves, very much,
" So if I help you - you can stop him?" Scott asked as I heard Derek's heart beating steady,
" Not alone. We're stronger in numbers. A pack makes the individual more powerful." Derek told him, my grandmother would tell me that werewolves usually worked
as packs.
" How am I supposed to help if I have no idea what I'm doing?" Scott asked Derek, I can tell he is beginning to get fed up with this,
" Because I'm gonna teach you. Do you remember what happened that first night you were shot in the arm - Right after you were hit?" Derek asked my cousin,
" Yeah, I changed back." Scott said as I heard floorboards creak,
" And when you were hit by his car, same thing, right? What's the common denominator?" Derek asked as heard him grab Scott's hand,
" What the hell are you doing?" Scott cried out in pain,
" It'll heal." Derek told him, I can hear bone morphing back into place, oh god,
" It still hurt!" Scott yelled at him,
" And that's what keeps you human - Pain. Maybe you will survive." Derek said before I darted, I got to my large pond and dove in, I transformed and surface, I
placed my hair pin in the cave before, I surfaced on the outer side, I swam in circles, I see Derek come with fish, I made a water sphere, and froze it, I sat on the
sunning rock and ate.
" Derek the moon also affects me in ways that my power is sometimes affected" I said as he nodded, he stared into my eyes,
" Sing for me my Princess Mermaid" He tells me, I smiled then looked up at the moon,
" My Heart sings of light and promise, to the one who see my truth, all for one holds me, no matter what he do" I called in a loving tune
" It's hard to see the beauty, of become a slave to the moon, let the love and fury, drive you from your doom" I relied on my vocals to soothe Derek's worries,
" See the eyes of wonder, let them glow with all that may, I keep my truth hidden, until the fateful day" I sooth his aching heart, he smiles as I made small waves
with my tail,
" The eyes I see while dreaming, they somehow hold apart of me, hold a color worth watching, become an emerald green" I slowed down Derek looked as if he would
pass out, I swim away and get my hairpin, I get home and changed,
" Tomorrow is half days for juniors and seniors" I said as I smiled, I passed out, dreams of the emerald eyed male come to me,
" Ok what does this dream mean?" I asked as I got up, I got dressed and went to school, my last class for today was Chemistry,
"Just a friendly reminder - Parent/teacher conferences are tonight. Students below a "C" average are required to attend. I won't name you, because the shame and
self - disgust should be more than enough punishment. Has anyone seen Scott McCall?" Harris asked as I was sitting by Danny, I shook my head, I see Harris go to
Jackson,
" Hey, Jackson. If you need to leave early for any reason, you let me know." Harris told him, great someone's teacher's pet,
" Everyone, start reading Chapter Nine. Mr. Stilinski. Try putting the highlighter down between paragraphs. It's chemistry, not a coloring book." Harris says before he
spits the highlighter's cap in the air and it landed in his hand,
" Hey, Danny. Can I ask you a question?" Stiles asked as I grunted, I got to work,
" No." Danny said as I rolled my eyes,
" Well, I'm going to anyway. Um, did Lydia show up in your homeroom today?"
" No." Danny replied as I rubbed my temples,
" Can I ask you another question?" Stiles asked Danny, I can smell frustration on him,
" Answer's still no." Danny retorts as I snickered,
" Does anyone know what happened to her and Jackson last night?" Stiles asked as Danny shook his head,
" He wouldn't - tell me." Danny replied lowly, Harris was working on something,
" But he's your best friend. One more question." Stiles asked, man was he getting on my nerves,
" What?" Danny asked, oh this better be a good question,
" Do you find me attractive?" Stiles asked, he then fell out of his seat, then got up, the bell rang.
" Alright, juniors, I will see you tomorrow" Harris said as I got my bag, I got to my locker, but smelt Derek,
" What would he be doing here?" I asked as the scent lead to the men's lockerroom,
" I - I don't know where Scott is." Jackson's voice was scared, why is Derek looking for Scott now?
" I'm not here for Scott. I'm here for you." Derek's voice countered it, what?
" Wh - wh - why me? I - I didn't do anything." Jackson's voice said as his heart beat was loud in my ears,
" No, but you saw something, didn't you?" Derek's voice was determined, what does he want from Jackson? of all people?
" No, I didn't - I didn't see anything." Jackson said as his heartbeat was so loud,
" What was it, hmm? An animal? A mountain lion?" Derek asked as I was about to get away, I can not get wet.
" I didn't see anything. I swear. I'm - I'm not lying." Jackson's voice was louder, I decided it was time for me to go, I ran home and changed into another outfit, I
decided it was time to go back to the Hale Manor,
" Hmm" I grinned as I went inside, I see Derek working out, good cod, he smiles and was about to speak,
" Hide" He said as I quirked my head,
" Wait why?" I asked as he made his eyes glow,
" NOW" He told me, I ran into the right room, I heard the door open,
" No one home." A male's voice entered my ears,
" Oh, he's here. He's just not feeling particularly hospitable." A female's voice echoed, she smelt of hate and playfulness,
" Maybe he's out burying a bone in the backyard." the male's voice entered my mind,
" Really? A dog joke? We're going there, and that's the best you got? If you wanna provoke him, say something like, "Too bad your sister 'bit it' before she had her
first litter." Too bad she howled like a bitch when we cut her in half!" She yelled, Derek roared the made a guy go flying, I soon heard some electricity going,
" This one grew up in all the right places. I don't know whether to kill it or - lick it." She said as I felt my rage growing,
" 900,000 volts. You never were good with electricity, were you? Or fire. Which is why I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. And, well, maybe we can help each other
out. Yes, your sister was severed into pieces and used as bait to try to catch you. Unpleasant, and frankly, a little too Texas chainsaw massacre for my taste, but quite
true. Now, here's the part that might really kick you in your new balls - We didn't kill her. You think I'm lying?" She asked Derek, I heard him grunt,
" Wouldn't be the first time." He said as I heard her click her tongue.
" Tsk, sweetie - Well - Why don't you just listen to my heart and tell me if I am. Okay? We - didn't - kill - your - sister. Do you hear that? There's no blips or upticks.
Just the steady beat of the cold, hard truth. Found bite marks on your sister's body, Derek. What do you think did that? A mountain lion? Why aren't we helping each
other out? You might as well admit what you've been guessing all along, which is - The Alpha killed your sister. And all you have to do is tell us who he is, and we'll
take care of it for you. Problem solved, everybody goes home happy. Unless - You don't know who he is either. Wow. Guess who just became totally useless?" She
said before I ran out of the house, I got to my pond and dove in, I transformed, I went to my rock, to hide, I soon see Derek,
" Derek, whats wrong?" I asked as he stared at me,
" I encountered a part of my past" He said as I sat on my sunning rock,
" Tell me" I said as he sighed, he placed a hand on my tail, I shivered, it felt good,
" When I was sixteen, I met this woman named Kate Argent, she made me fall for her, she took my virginity, she took my family secret and then six years ago, she
and others burned my families house down, my uncle survived. My sister and I were in school, her name was Laura, she took my to New York, but I came back
because she hadn't gotten back to me, she was torn in half" Derek said as a tear went down his cheek, I rubbed my thumb on it and sucked on it,
" I can feel your pain" I said as I felt his emotion from the tears,
" My life sucks" He said as I frowned,
" I will reveal my name soon Derek" I said as he held the blue scale in his hand, as if studying it,
" I am a patient wolf" He said as the moon began to rise.
