I was asleep, remembering the passing of my grandmother, from passed summer,
" Beacon Hills is not like any other town, it holds secrets, they always said never be afraid of the dark, " My grandmother said as I looked up at the full moon. She
was bed ridden, so close to death, I was by her side, she saw that I was close to crying
" Don't cry Marina, save your tears for another" She says as she smiled, she placed her hand on my cheek, her fingertips at my left temple,
" I have something for you" She whispered as she showed me a shellbox,
" Grandmother" I sniffled as I took it, I opened it, inside was this beautiful Five White Petaled flower with a huge pink pearl in the dead center, it was a hairpin,
" It's beautiful" I whispered as she smiled,
" I made it for your mother to give to you, when you were ready, it shows that you have connection to the ocean, only merfolk know this, the flower and the pearl are
enchanted, they will never die" She whimpered as she smiled, her tears shedding.
" I might now be with you physically, but spiritually yes" She said as the pearl began to glow,
" It will shine when emotion fills you" She smiled, I kissed her forehead,
" Your mother would have been proud of you" she said as I heard her heartbeat slowing.
" My beautiful Marina" She whispered, I woke up to conversation, I see the front light was on,
" No, a body of water. Yes, dumb - ass, a dead body." Stiles' voice came up, I got out of bed and got dressed, I made sure the moonring was on my right ring finger, I
began walking downstairs,
" You mean like murdered?" Scott asked as I used my senses, these two are going to get into so much fucking trouble,
" Nobody knows yet. Just that it was a girl, probably in her 20s." Stiles said as I got down the steps, I smiled as I slowly opened the door,
" Hold on, if they found the body, then what are they looking for?" Scott asked as Stiles stared at him, this was interesting,
" That's the best part. They only found half. We're going." Stiles said as I coughed,
" Where do we think we are going?" I asked as I placed my hands on my hips, Scott scratches the back of his head,
" Hey Marina" Scott said as Stiles smiled, I am Scott's Cousin, Marina Aurora Rivers, I'm eighteen, 5'6", shoulder length honey brown hair, and rare dusk blue
eyes,and apricot skin,
" We are going into the preserve tonight" Stiles said as I smell the rain falling,
" Ok" I groaned as I darted to the car, I had to keep my secret, my name has a special meaning behind it, I watched as Stiles drove, I wanted to go and find my
special places. We got out and it was raining, I smiled, rainwater brought comfort but could change me, but I was covered well, we began to walk,
" We're seriously doing this?" Scott asked as I had a flashlight on,
" You're the one always bitching that nothing ever happens in this town." Stiles said as it was drizzling now, great, but I can't get wet,
" I was trying to get a good night's sleep before practice tomorrow." Scott said as I smiled at him, he has practiced really hard.
" Right, 'cause sitting on the bench is such a grueling effort." Stiles said as I groaned,
" Come on Stiles believe in him" I said as I walked ahead,
" No, because I'm playing this year. In fact, I'm making first line." Scott said as I smiled at him,
" Hey, that's the spirit. Everyone should have a dream, even a pathetically unrealistic one." Stiles said as I hit his arm.
" Just out of curiosity, which half of the body are we looking for?" I asked as we three we're walking, I swore I saw glowing blue eyes, I focused back onto Scott,
" Huh! I didn't even think about that." Stiles replied as I quirked my head,
" And, uh, what if whoever killed the body is still out here?" Scott asked as he was curious as well.
" Also something I didn't think about." Stiles said as I smiled,
" Fan fucking tastic Stiles" I grunted as he smiled at me,
" It's - comforting to know you've planned this out with your usual attention to detail." Scott said as he was trying to climb a hill.
" I know." Stiles said as I can hear, even with the drizzle, Scott breathing hard, I got his inhaler and gave it to him,
" Maybe the severe asthmatic should be the one holding the flashlight, huh?" Scott said as he shook it, he then inhaled it, I got up the hill,
" Wait" Stiles said as he looked at us, he turned his flashlight off,
" Come on!" He says as he runs,
" Stiles!" Scott called out to our friend, I helped my cousin up, and ran after the boy,
" Wait up! Stiles! Stiles!" I called out, Scott was further behind, I looked, he wasn't there, I turned around and a dog was barking at Stiles,
" Hold it right there!" The cop yelled at me, I put my hands up in surrender,
" Hang on, hang on. This little delinquent belongs to me." Sheriff said as he looked at Stiles, then he looked up at me.
" The other belong's to McCall" Stiles' dad commented as Stiles got up,
" Dad, how are you doing?" Stiles asked as he blocked the flashlight' glow,
" So, do you, uh, listen in to all of my phone calls?" His dad asked him, this should be good.
" No, heh. Not the boring ones." Stiles replied as his dad huffed, he smelt of stress,
" Now, where's your usual partner in crime?" Stiles' dad asked him, I stood in the rain,
" Who, Scott? Sc - Scott's home. He said he wanted to get a good night's sleep for first day back at school tomorrow. " Stiles said as his dad looked at me,
" Why did you drag Marina out here?" He asked as I smiled,
" I wanted to make sure he didn't do anything brash" I smiled innocently, Stiles smirked at me,
" It's just us. In the woods. Alone." I smiled of innocence, Sheriff looked behind me, I had to conceal myself,
" Scott, you out there? Scott?" Sheriff called out,
" Well, young man, I'm gonna walk you back to your car. And you and I are gonna have a conversation about something called invasion of privacy. After you get poor
Marina home" He grunted as he had Stiles by the back of his neck, Scott can get home, I hope, we got to the car, I didn't feel water touching my skin, good, as we
drove, I heard a loud call,
" That can't be right" I whispered to myself, that sounded like a wolf's howl, but how? Stiles got me home, I got inside and went to bed, I dreampt of green eyes
staring into my dusk blue ones, they held secret by the looks of them, I woke up with a start, I got into my bathroom ad did my thing, I always woke up early, after I
dried off I smiled, my first day of the second half of junior year, I got dressed, I got downstairs and got to my Honda cb250r, I got to school, no helmet, I gripped my
messenger bag and found both Scott and Stiles,
" I didn't hear you come home" I said as Scott smiled at me, I smelt blood,
" Got in through the TV Antenna and my window" He said as Stiles smiled at me,
" Okay, let's see this thing. Ooh!" Stiles said as I see the bandaged side, it had the faint smell of werewolf on it, my kind have sensitivity when it came to our three of
five senses; Sight, Hearing, and Smell.
" Yeah. Whoa!" Scott yelped as Stiles was going to touch my cousin's bandaged side, he pulled his shirt down,
" It was too dark to see much, but I'm pretty sure it was a wolf." Scott said as I was now worried,
" A wolf bit you?" Stiles asked as I looked at the boy,
" No, not a chance." Stiles said as I stood in front of him,
" I heard a wolf howling." Scott said making me stiffen, so I did hear what I heard last night,
" No, you didn't." Stiles says as I roll my eyes,
" What do you mean, no, he didn't? How do you know what he heard?" I asked using some assertiveness,
" Because California doesn't have wolves, okay? Not in like 60 years." stiles replied as he smiled, oh good reef,
" Really?" Scott asked him, oh come on.
" Yes, really. There are no wolves in California." Stiles tells Scott and I, oh really, I beg to differ Stilinski,
" All right, well, if you don't believe me about the wolf, then you're definitely not gonna believe me about when I tell you I found the body." Scott said as I was now
intrigued, THE body,
" You - are you kidding me?" Stiles asked as Scott scoffed at him.
" No, man, I wish. I'm gonna have nightmares for a month." Scott said as I see Lydia Martin,
" Oh, god, that is freakin' awesome. I mean, this is seriously gonna be the best thing that's happened to this town since - Since the birth of Lydia Martin. Hey, Lydia -
You look - Like you're gonna ignore me." Stiles said as I smelt slight defeat on him, poor boy,
" You're the cause of this, you know." Stiles said as I smiled,
" Uh - huh." Scott said as Stiles stared at Scott with intent,
" Draggin' me down to your nerd depths. I'm a nerd by association. I've been scarlet - nerded by you." Stiles says as I placed my hand over my chest, wow, I
smirked,
" Damn Stiles, that wasn't aimed at me, and yet it hurt" I said as he looked at me, he looked surprised,
" Not you Marina, you're just the hot niece of Melissa McCall and Hot Cousin of Scott" Stiles said as I smirked, Scott looked horrified that his bestfriend complimented
me,
" Dude don't talk about my cousin like that" Scott says as I smiled.
" Dude she's the hottest girl in school, no one can get her" Stiles said as I smiled, I got to class, I sat in the back with my folder out,
" As you all know, there indeed was a body found in the woods last night. And I am sure your eager little minds are coming up with various macabre scenarios as to
what happened. But I am here to tell you that the police have a suspect in custody, which means you can give your undivided attention to the syllabus which is on
your desk outlining this semester." Mr. Cerince said as I smiled, I heard a phone ringing, but I ignored it, soon I see Vice Principal Burns come in with a new student.
" Class, this is our new student, Allison Argent. Please do your best to make her feel welcome." He said as she came in, wait did he say Argent, shit bro shit, she sat
behind Scott, he handed her a pen,
" Thanks." she said as he smiled at her,
" We'll begin with Kafka's Metamorphosis, on page 133." Mr. Cerince said as I smiled, I drank out of my water bottle, the class went slow, but when it ended, I went
to my locker, I smiled at the newbie, she had a locker by mine,
" Hi, nice Jacket" I said as I opened up my locker, she smiled at me.
" Thanks" She replied as she face me, she looked as of sixteen,
" Allison right?" I asked as she smiled, I shook her hand,
" Beautiful ring" She said as she examined it, I smiled,
" Thanks my grandmother gave it to me, she said it was made in the Atlantic, the water surrounds the sapphires, it's moonstone" I said smiling, she smiled,
" What a big pearl" She said as I smiled, I touched it, she smiled,
" My grandmother gave this before she died, I'm Marina Rivers, I came to Beacon Hills last fall, so I am still new I guess" I said before closing my eyes and smiling,I
opened my eyes, she was smiling,
" Glad I'm not alone" She replied before I see Lydia coming our way.
" That jacket is absolutely killer. Where'd you get it?" Lydia asked as she looked at the girl,
" My mom was a buyer for a boutique back in San Francisco." Allison said as Lydia smiled at her, she ignored me, of course,
" And you are my new best friend. Hey, Jackson." She said before kissing him, so stuck up,
" So, this weekend, there's a party." Lydia said as she leaned on her bo, good reef,
" A party?" Allison asked as she was confused,
" Yeah - Friday night. You should come." Jackson said as I looked through my locker,
" Uh, I can't. It's family night this Friday. Thanks for asking." Allison said as I heard her heart beat rise, lie.
" You sure? Everyone's going after the scrimmage." Jackson said as he stared at her, then at me, I rolled my eyes,
" You mean like football?" Allison asked as I smiled,
" Football's a joke in Beacon. The sport here is lacrosse. We've won the state championship for the past three years." Jackson bragged, I wanted to tear my ears off,
" Because of a certain team captain." Lydia said as she smiled at him.
" Well, we have practice in a few minutes. That is, if you don't have anywhere else " Jackson said as Allison seem and smelt nervous,
" Well, I was going to " Allison said but Lydia gets what Lydia wants,
" Perfect - You're coming." She said before I shut my locker, good god, she always wore so much perfume, I went to the practice, it was my free period,
" McCall!" Coach said as Scott then looked at him,
" Yeah?" He asked, he was then tossed gear,
" You're on goal." Coach told him, this is new.
" I've never played." Scott told him, I still smelt slight blood on him,
" I know - scoring some shots will give the boys a confidence boost. It's a first day back thing. Get 'em energized, fired up!" Coach said as Scott looked confused at
this,
" What about me?" My cousin asked as Coach was smiling, creepy.
" Try not to take any in the face. Let's go! Come on!" Coach said as I see Scott get into goal, I got my art book out and began to draw the full moon, the whistle
blows, it doesn't bother me, but I see Scott clutching the side of his helmet, a ball was toss and made Scott fall,
" Hey, way to catch with your face, McCall!" Jackson called out, Scott got up, the next one was thrown, Scott got it, it seemed to surprised everyone, another after
another he got it,
" He seems like he's pretty good." Allison said as Lydia seemed shocked,
" Oh, very good." Lydia said as I soon see Jackson get in front,
" Oh God" I said as I watch him go, he made the ball go right, Scott got it, everyone cheered, I got through the rest of my day, I go home on my bike, I parked it and
went inside, and changed,
" Hey I need to find my inhaler" Scott said as I nodded, Stiles drove Scott and I back to the Preserve, we were going to search for Scott's inhaler,
" I don't - I don't know what it was. It was like I had all the time in the world to catch the ball. And that's not the only weird thing. I - I can - hear stuff I shouldn't be
able to hear. Smell things." Scott said as I went around the small river, those two got wet,
" Smell things? Like what?" I asked as he looked at me,
" Like the mint - mojito gum in Stiles' pocket. Marina the water lily perfume you're wearing" Scott said as I smiled, I wasn't wearing it, that's what I naturally smelt
like to supernaturals, the bite took
" I don't even have any mint - mojito" Stiles said before he was reaching into his pocket and reached for the gum,
" So all this started with a bite." Stiles asked as Scott began to freak out,
" What if it's like an infection, like, my body's flooding with adrenaline before I go into shock or something?" Scott asked as I smiled at him,
" You know what? I actually think I've heard of this - It's a specific kind of infection." Stiles said as I made the two stop.
" Are you serious?" Scott said as I smelt the bite on him stop bleeding,
" Yeah. Yeah, I think it's called - lycanthropy." Stiles said as he talked serious, you have gotta be kidding me, Scott could have been bitten by an Alpha,
" What's that? Is that bad?" Scott asked as his heart beat went up,
" Oh, yeah, it's the worst. But only once a month." Stiles said as I rubbed my temples,
" Once a month?" Scott asked as I was sometimes affected by the moon,
" Mm - hmm. On the night of the full moon." Stiles said as he stared Scott in the face then howled, Scott hit him in the shoulder,
" Hey, you're the one who heard a wolf howling." Stiles said as Scott was ahead of us,
" Hey, there could be something seriously wrong with me." Scott said as he panicked.
" I know! You're a werewolf! Rrr!" Stiles said before doing a fake growl,
" Okay, obviously I'm kidding. But if you see me in shop class trying to melt all the silver I can find, it's 'cause Friday's a full moon." Stiles said as Scott stopped, this
is new, I smelt dead flesh clinging to this area.
" No, I - I could have sworn this was it. I saw the body, the deer came running. I dropped my inhaler." Scott said as he began to shift leaves
" Maybe the killer moved the body." Stiles said as I scoffed, I smirked as playful as could be,
" If he did, I hope he left my inhaler. Those things are like 80 bucks." Scott said as I smelt something new, I looked up to see a man staring at me,
" What are you doing here? Huh? This is private property." The man said as I stared, he smelt of leather, whiskey, and ashwood, along with the smell of born wolf, he
was handsome.
" Uh, sorry, man, we didn't know." Stiles spoke as he had his hands in his pockets, Scott was staring at him, the bite must be affecting him completely now
" Yeah, we were just looking for something, but - Uh, forget it. Uhm." Scott said as the man tossed something, Scott caught it and opened his hand, it was his inhaler,
the man began to walk away,
" All right, come on, I gotta get to work." Scott says as I still watched the handsome man's retreating form,
" Dude, that was Derek Hale. You remember, right? He's only like a few years older than us." Stiles said as I liked the strangers name, Derek Hale.
" Remember what? If you can inform Marina, because she doesn't know" Scott said making me sound stupid, I wanted to hit him, but I rolled my eyes,
" His family. They all burned to death in a fire, like, ten years ago." Stiles said as I felt like crying, that sounds terrible.
" I wonder what he's doing back." Scott said as I smirked at them,
" Come on." Stiles said but I shook my head,
" I'll catch up later" I said as I was intrigued, the wolf was intriguing to me, his name felt like comfort to me, but I followed my path and found my special place, this
is in a deep part of the preserve, I dove in and the bubbles surround me, I change my form, I surfaced in my pond, my hair becoming its Ice Blue Ombre as I was
now completely transformed, first time I changed was when I was six, I loved the hair color, I looked at the rock wall, my cave was under the rock wall, I think it was
formed because of the erosion, but I was drawn of of thought, I felt like I was being watched, I was about to use a power, when the born wolf saw me, I hid behind a
rock,
" Oh no" I whimpered before dove into the water, once in the cave, I placed my hairpin on a rock, I went back to the pond, hiding behind a rock, my eyes glowing.
" Come out, I can smell you" Derek said as I remain hiding, I got my shoulders into the water, I looked to see him, he was handsome, my tail's scales ruffled then
smoothed, he sat down on a rock close to the edge of the water, staring out, I focused my palm and made the water move, he stared at it, I went down and appeared
close to the edge, my tail was hidden,
" What are you doing here?" He grunted as I smirked, I backed away,
" Come out" He said as I shook my head,
" Come in" I said as I smiled at him, his eye color was the same ones that were in my dream. He watched me with interest,
" What are you?" He asked as I smiled, I shook my head at him,
" A friend, who are you?" I replied as I smirked,
" Someone who wants some answers" He said as I quirked my head, I could sing to soothe some of his pain, I see him staring into my eyes,
" Interesting, very interesting" I said as he grunted,so impatient, it's demanding almost,
" You seeking my story will take time, Werewolf" I said as I smiled, he seemed so confused with my quotes, I sighed before rubbing my temples,
" My heart is pierced by Cupid; I disdain all glittering gold. There is nothing can console me But my jolly sailor bold." I sung as he stared at me, I made my fin come
up and splash his shoes, he looked at my tail as if he has never seen one before. His hand reached out, I don't trust him,not yet, I bared my fangs at him and made
my eyes glow as a warning. I swam a bit away from him, he got up,
" Don't go" He called out, I smiled,
" Does the wolf want something?" I asked as he stared at me,
" Your name?" He asked as I swam to the edge. He knelt down as he studied my face,
" Not telling" I said as I used my magic, I made the water steam up, I dove, I heard him calling for me, by I'll keep the wolf at bay, for now at least, I went to my
cave, it's entrance was about twelve feet, I surfaced on the other side, I got up and heated my tail, my legs came back, my clothes were on, and my hair going back
to it's honey brown color. I found this place when I visited during the summer, before I was stationed her this fall.
" Really craving Arctic Marshmallow" I groaned, I looked at the shelf with the treasures I found in the ocean, I had a picture of my grandmother, I picked up my
hairpin before putting it back in it's rightful place,
" Miss you Mamma" I said as I felt my sadness coming down, I walked to the other side, I got out through the land entrance, I used my moonring to hide it from
anyone but me. I began to walk home, I went to sleep, I got up the next day, I got dressed and went to school, the full moon is tonight, I have complete control, I
watched as Stiles ran to Scott,
" Scott! Scott, wait up." Stiles said as he was clearly out of breath,
" Stiles, I'm playing the first elimination, man - Can it wait?" Scott said as Stiles smelt of fear and worry,
" Just hold on, okay? I overheard my dad on the phone. The fiber analysis came back from the lab in L.A. They found animal hairs on the body from the woods!"
Stiles said as Scott was getting up,
" Stiles, I gotta go." Scott said as he went on the field, I went up to Stiles,
" What did they find?" I asked as Stiles gulped,
" It was a wolf." Stiles said confirming my theory, Scott was bitten by an Alpha, but which one, they are all over the world, but who was residing in Beacon Hills? I sat
and watched as plays happened, Jackson got Scott down, I heard a low growl, he got up and ran for the goal, he jumped over three players and made the shot,
people cheered for him, this isn't good, I wouldn't show my abilities to anyone, unless they could keep the secret.
" McCall! Get over here!" Coach called him, this is going to be interesting,
" What in God's name was that? This is a lacrosse field. What, are you trying out for the gymnastics team?" Coach asked him, this outta be good, get yourself out of
this one Scott,
" No, coach." Scott said still shocked about this, he didn't know shit yet, I was just someone who know the truth, but Stiles or Scott would have to come to me,
" What the hell was that?" Coach demanded him, the poor boy had so much to learn,
" I don't know. I - just trying to make the shot." Scott said as he stood in front of his coach,
" Yeah, well, you made the shot. And guess what? You're startin', buddy. You made first line. Come on!" Coach told everyone, great, this is so screwy. I got home and
changed,
" Stiles wants us over" Scott said as I smiled,
" Ok let's go see him" I said as he sees my outfit, he got the car, Scott's going to be my ride, Scott got to Stiles' place, we got inside and went to his room,
" Get in. You gotta see this thing. I've been up all night reading - websites, books. All this information." Stiles said as he was slightly panicked, what was this about,
Scott's little wolf problem?
" How much Adderall have you had today?" I asked as he looks at me up and down, I pit my jacket on his chair,
" A lot. Doesn't matter. Okay, just listen." Stiles said as Scott sat on Stiles' bed.
" Oh, is this about the body? Did they find out who did it?" Scott asked as Stiles shook his head,
" No, they're still questioning people, even Derek Hale." Stiles said making my spine shutter,
" Oh, the guy in the woods that we saw the other day." Scott asked as I sat on the floor with my legs crossed,
" Yeah! Yes. But that's not it, okay?" Stiles said in slight panic mode,
" What, then?" Scott asked as Stiles sighted us,
" Remember the joke from the other day? Not a joke anymore. The wolf - the bite in the woods. I started doing all this reading. Do you even know why a wolf howls?"
Stiles yelled, Scott looked unconcerned,
" Should I?" He asked as Stiles stared at him with disbelief,
" It's a signal, okay? When a wolf's alone, it howls to signal its location to the rest of the pack. So if you heard a wolf howling, that means others could have been
nearby. Maybe even a whole pack of 'em." Stiles explained, great the big reveal is coming,
" A whole pack of wolves?" Scott asked as he stared at his best friend,
" No - Werewolves." Stiles said as I got up, if I need to get him away from the wolf that has yet to rise from Scott's skin,
" Are you seriously wasting my time with this? You know I'm picking up Allison in an hour." Scott said as Stiles sat down, he was deep in this world they both were.
" I saw you on the field today, Scott. Okay, what you did wasn't just amazing, all right? It was impossible." Stiles said as Scott looked at him with disbelief,
" Yeah, so I made a good shot." Scott said as he was going for his bag,
" No, you made an incredible shot, I mean - The way you moved, your speed, your reflexes. Y'know, People can't just suddenly do that overnight. And there's the
vision and the senses, and don't even think I don't notice that you don't need your inhaler anymore." Stiles said as Scott's rage was rising and more importantly his
heart beat,
" Okay! Dude, I can't think about this now. We'll talk tomorrow." Scott said as Stiles' fear scent was rising, higher,
" Tomorrow?! What? No! The full moon's tonight. Don't you get it?" Stiles said as he is concerned for Scott.
" What are you trying to do? I just made first line. I got a date with a girl who I can't believe wants to go out with me, and everything in my life is somehow perfect.
Why are you trying to ruin it?" Scott asked as Stiles sighed, it sounded heavily by the sound of it,
" I'm trying to help." Stiles had confessed,
" You're cursed, Scott. You know, and it's not just the moon will cause you to physically change. It also just so happens to be when your bloodlust will be at its peak."
Stiles said as I see mounds off book related to werewolves on his desk,
" Bloodlust?" Scott asked flatly, this isn't good,
" Yeah, your urge to kill." Stiles replied to him, human vs newbie uncontrolled werewolf, not good odds for the human.
" I'm already starting to feel an urge to kill, Stiles." Scott said as Stiles grabbed a book on Lycanthropy,
"You gotta hear this. "The change can be caused by anger or anything that raises your pulse." " Stiles told us, he set the book down then looked at Scott,
" All right? I haven't seen anyone raise your pulse like Allison does. You gotta cancel this date." Stiles said as he went to Scott's bag,
" I'm gonna call her right now." Stiles said as he got his phone,
" What are you doing?" Scott asked as Stiles fumbled with it.
" I'm canceling the date." Stiles told him, oh great,
" No, give it to me!" Scott growled, he pushed Stiles against the wall,
" Scott let him go" I commanded him, I grabbed his wrist, he looked at me then slashed my arm then stiles' computer chair, I cried out as I was on the floor, I see my
arm was bleeding,
" I'm sorry. I - I gotta go get ready for that party. I'm sorry." Scott said as he left, Stiles saw my arm.
" Marina? Are you ok?" Stiles asked as I held my arm, he scratched me,
" you're bleeding, let me get some water" He said as I went wide eyed,
" NO" I told him,
" Why not?" He asked,
" I'll be fine" I said as I felt my wound healing,
" Drive me to the party, to watch Scott" I said as he looked worried.
" I'll be fine, it is just going to take some time to trust my cousin again" I said as I held in tears, we got there, I just wiped the dried up blood with a towel, I stood by
the fire, I soon see Derek staring at me,
" Can I help you?" I asked as he shook his head,
" Sorry, you just look familiar" He grumbled, such a sourwolf,
" I only met you in the woods when you gave Scott his inhaler back" I said as I kept my heart beat steady, I was starting to get bored so I went to the front of the
house, I stayed clear of the pool, but as I go to see Danny, I see my cousin got to his car, he left Allison,
" Why did he leave?" Allison asked as I shrugged,
" My cousin might have caught something" I replied as I sighed.
" Allison. I'm a friend of Scott's. My name's Derek." Derek said as he lead us to his car, which was a 2010 Black Chevy Camaro, I got in the back, Derek took her
home, I got in the front,
" I never caught your name?" He said as he drove from her place,
" My name's Marina, Marina Rivers" I said as I feel the power of the moon,
" You have a nice hairpin" He said as I touched it,
" My grandmother gave it to me" I said as I smiled, he nodded, he parked in the entrance of the Preserve,
" Stay in the car, I'll be back" He said as I nodded, he grabbed a jacket and went into the preserve, I sighed, I smelt Scott, close. I cloaked, Scott looked into the
Camaro through the windshield, he was a werewolf, he ran into the Preserve, I uncloaked, I used my hearing to find out what the fuck was going on,
" Where is she?" Scott's wolf asked as I heard twigs breaking,
" She's safe. From you." Derek replied, I heard tumbling, what was happening?
" What did you do with her?" Scott's voice was wolfish,
" Shh, quiet. Too late. They're already here. Run." Derek told Scott, I heard a boom before flesh was pierced,
" Take him." A man said as I soon heard grunting and running, who was that?
" Who were they?" Scott asked, he was normal, no more wolf voice, he's back,
" Hunters. The kind that have been hunting us for centuries." Derek's voice was hefty,
" Us? You mean you! You did this to me!" Scott yelled as I buckled my seat belt, I put the moonring in a beam of moonlight, it was absorbing the light, I smiled as it
shimmered.
" Is it really so bad, Scott? That you can see better - Hear more clearly, move faster than any human could ever hope? You've been given something that most people
would kill for. The bite is a gift." Derek told my cousin,
" I don't want it." Scott told him, that was too bad, once you have the werewolf curse, can't be lifted.
" You will. And you're gonna need me if you want to learn how to control it. So you and me, Scott - We're brothers now." Derek said before I made my hearing go
normal, I see Derek show up, he got into the car and started it,
" Where do you live?" Derek asked as I smiled,
" With Scott" I said with a sigh, I was tired as fuck,
" Relative?" Derek asked as I sighed,
" Yep" I said with a pop, we got to my place, I got out and smiled,
" Thank you Derek" I said as he nodded, then drove off, I went to bed, Sun Afternoon, I decided to leave the house, I left my Hairpin in it's container, I went to my
secret entrance, I got in, blocked the entrance like I always did, I smiled then dove into the cave pool, I transformed, I smiled as I used my tail to go into the forest
pond area. I began sunning myself on another rock, I inhaled Derek's scent.
" Hmm" I purred as he sat on the rock the was about ten feet from me,
" My heart is pierced by Cupid; I disdain all glittering gold. There is nothing can console me But my jolly sailor bold" I sung before turning over, I placed my head on
my hands, my tail up as my fin touched my head,
" Aw is the wolf lonely and missed me?" I asked as he looked up at me, he grumbles, I dive into the water and surfaced when I was about six feet from him,
" His hair it hangs in ringlets, His eyes as black coal, My happiness attend him, Where ever he may go, From tower hill, To blackwall" I sung to calm his nerves,
" I come seeking answers of what you are" He said as his eyes glowed blue, meaning he has taken a life, so sad.
" Your Soul is darkened" I whispered as his head tilted,
" Once full of life, is now clouded by a driven force" I said as I knew what that meant,
" What is the song you sing?" He asked as I smiled,
" It's a song to either soothe the lost or weary OR it's a song to lure, but I haven't lure any sailor and don't plan to" I said as he smirked,
" What are you?" He asked as curiosity filled his scent, it was for my safety, I need to know if I can trust him, even if he is a werewolf, he can give it out and hunters
will be on my ass, I sighed,
" Your scent is of leather, whiskey, and ashwood, am I correct?" I asked as he looked surprised, he nodded at me.
" You smell of Fresh fallen rainwater and fallen leaves" Derek said as I smiled, my human scent and mermaid scent were different,
" Your mind is clouded" I say as he looked at my tail,
" You wish to know what I am Wolf?" I asked as I smirked, he nodded,
" You don't speak much wolf" I said as I frowned,
" Yes I do" He replied, finally, I was getting him more vocal, he can put it to use,
" What is your name?" I asked as he sighed,
" Derek, Derek Hale" He said flatly, the way he greeted me was interesting.
" Well Derek Hale, I'm a mermaid" I said smiling, he snickered,
" What is so funny Derek?" I asked as he stared at me,
" Not much is known about you" He said as I backed away,
" Sad" I replied flatly as I made the water steam,
" Wait don't go" He pleaded as I smiled,
" Well meet again" I said in a luring like voice, mixed with my human and song voice. I dove again in silent, I decided I would rest in my private cave, I dried and
became human, I got out through my secret entrance, I walked about fifty feet, I see Derek looking around and walking, I smirked and continued to walk away, I can
see that he is oblivious that the mermaid is me, wow.
" Geez" I groaned as I got in the house, I went to my room to fall asleep, I woke up the next morning, I got dressed, I got to school, I got through my day, I see
Scott going to Allison,
" So what happened? You left me stranded at the party." Allison asked as she was walking away from him,
" Yeah, I - I know, I know. I'm really sorry, I am. But - You're gonna have to trust that I had a really good reason." Scott said as I scoffed, yeah, reason he was a
bloodthirsty werewolf looking for you,
" Did you get sick?" Allison asked him as I rolled my eyes.
" I definitely had an attack of something." Scott said as he stared at her, he wants a second chance, with a hunter's daughter, oh that is rich, oh man,
" Am I gonna get an explanation?" Allison asked wanting to know, Scott sighed,
" Can you just find it in your heart to trust me on this one?" Scott asked her, she stared at him, I watched intently, this could go all types of fucky,
" Am I gonna regret this?" Allison asked as he sighed again, man up Scott McCall, come on this is embarrassing as hell, just watching this makes me cringe full,
" Probably. So is that a yes on a second chance?" He said smiling, she smiled back at him,
" Definitely yes." She said before smiling at him, so innocent, but Scott's what Hunter's hunt, hell I am what Hunter's hunt, but they don't fucking know that,
" That's my dad. I better go." Allison said as I gripped my bag, Scott stared at her father, it was as if he had seen a ghost.
