Stiles took me to the bleachers before he went to the locker room. I was wearing my black tank top with a red rose on it, some torn-up blue jeans, and knee-high black leather boots. My slim leather jacket hugged my skin as its clothed hood covered my black hair. I checked my phone to see if my older brother found anything out; so far nothing. I sighed before I saw Stiles and Scott with the rest of the team come out and get on the field.
" McCall, what are you waiting for? Let's go!" Coach called to him, I watched as Jackson practically threw him down. Coach comes over with a laughing tone.
" Hey, McCall!" The coach said as I watched with interest and worry.
" Keep it together." I whispered as I smelt my brother nearby. Oh fucking great! As if he has to give a babysitting gig over me.
" Hey, McCall!" Coach called to Scott, who was still on the ground. Jackson said a snide comment and I could hear the growl. Fuck man!
" My-my grandmother can move faster than that- and she's dead! Do you think you can move faster than the lifeless corpse of my dead grandmother?" Coach said as I could feel the anger coming off of him.
" Not good." I whispered as I watched carefully. I smelt the worry coming from Stiles. Oh, man!
" Yes, Coach." Scott replied to his coach, I can feel the anger flooding him quickly.
" I can't hear you!" Coach said in a mocking tone.
" You are just poking a ticking time bomb." I said with gritted teeth.
" Yes. Coach." Scott said as I could hear the echo in his voice. Fuck!
" Then do it again!" Coach demanded from the boy. Oh god fuck! Scott runs back to position while Coach shouts mockingly toward the rest of the players. Not fucking good.
" McCall's gonna do it again! McCall's gonna do it again!" He called out. I see Jackson go back to guarding and like I predicted as the whistle rang out, Scott ran at Jackson. Full-on colliding with the blonde boy, I can hear the slight crack as he falls. Scott shoots the goal and stops as everyone runs to the injured player. I see Stiles running to Scott. I watched as Stiles dragged Scott off the field. I started going after them, but I was pulled under the bleachers by my brother.
" Don't start with me, Derek." I said as I can feel the rage building.
" You have to stay calm." He said as I pushed him off.
" Scott could kill his friend." I said as the words quickly left my mouth. The panic and fear in my voice made him look at me then nodded. I ran to find where they went. The locker room was full of anger and panic. I saw Scott was transformed and on the upper beams. I saw Stiles cowering in the corner.
" Come on puppy." I said as he growled. He came at me and I headbutted him, hard. He fell and came at me. He swiped me with his claws on my face, I growled as my fangs came out. I soon felt a cold heat hit me. I saw Stiles with a fire extinguisher, he was spraying us with it. I moved to the side so it could get Scott. He swipes and soon falls to the ground.
" Stiles?" Scott weakly called out. He looked at me, his eyes wide. I felt my face and when I pulled my hand away, it had some blood on it. I looked over at the mirror and saw the wound was already healed. Perks of being an Alpha.
" What happened?" He asked as I helped him stand up.
" You tried killing him, but I was here to stop the chaos." I said as Stiles came over and got passed.
" Thanks for saving my ass." He said as I nodded.
" No problem." I told him. Stiles got in front of Scott.
" It's like I told you before- it's the anger, it's your pulse rising. It's a trigger." He told Scott, who looked exhausted.
" But that's lacrosse. It's a pretty violent game, if you hadn't noticed…" Scott said as if to defend his choice.
" Well, it's gonna be a lot more violent if you end up killing someone on the field." I said as Scott looked at me.
" You can't play Saturday. You're gonna have to get out of the game." Stiles said as I had my arms crossed.
" I'm first line." Scott said as he sounded out of breath.
" Not anymore." Stiles said in an almost defeated tone. Scott then looked at me.
" So you and your brother are." He started as I nodded.
" Yep, werewolves. It kind of runs in the family. I'm a bit more easy-going than my tough brother." I said as I backed off. As I got into the hallway, I smelt Stiles coming up.
" Again thanks for saving my ass." He said as I nodded.
" Kind of didn't want you to get torn up." I said as I smiled. He had a slight color on his cheeks.
" What's that mean?" He asked as I smirked.
" I'll leave that for you to figure out." I said before going to class. School went by quickly and after the final bell, I went to my locker.
" Best to keep my status on the down low. As long as Argents are running about Beacon Hills, I'm not giving anything away." I said to myself before shutting my locker door and going to my bike. I see Stiles.
" Hey, I was thinking." He said as I smiled.
" What's got your brain going?" I asked him.
" You think that we could ya know?" He asked as I smirked.
" Are you asking to study?" I asked as the red was sharp on his face.
" Well I mean…I.?" He asked as I smirked.
" Eight o clock. Could use some help in Econ. Need to go over some notes anyway." I said as he smiled.
" That's great! My place?" He asked as I smirked. I nodded and got on my bike and rode home. I parked my bike and went inside. I saw Derek working out.
" Too much of that and you're gonna pull something." I said as he looked at me.
" And I think you are losing your touch." My brother said as I took my jacket off and smirked.
" Bring it puppy." I said as he growled, he came at me, and I moved to the side and kicked his back. He went and hit the wall as I smirked.
" That's cheating." He said as I picked up my jacket and smirked.
" I have studying to do. I'm not doing it alone." I said as I walked up the stairs.
" Who with?" He asked as I turned to him.
" Just Stiles." I said as he huffed.
" The sheriff's son?" He asked as I rolled my eyes.
" Again, let me be a teenager." I said as Derek lifted an eyebrow.
" Oh no, you are not giving me the safe sex talk. Besides, Laura gave me the talk when I was fifteen." I said as I felt my emotions chill out.
" I'm a virgin!" I called out as I heard him yell.
" Don't want to know!" He yelled back. I laughed and got a new pair of clothes out. A dark blue tank top and some blue jeans. I put my econ book in my bag and my notebook. I grabbed a shower and quickly dried off. I got dressed and quickly grabbed my converses. I headed downstairs. I saw Derek wasn't here, so I left. I rode to Stiles' and walked up to the door.
It's not like that. I thought as I felt the blush coming up my face.
A little crush couldn't hurt, could it? My brain let the thought run but was cut off as the door opened to show Stiles, he was wearing a black t-shirt and jeans.
" Hey, you made it!" He exclaimed as I smirked.
" Thought I'd bail?" I asked as I came in.
" No, absolutely not." He said as I followed him up the stairs. I found myself in his room. I pulled my book and notebook out. We were going over notes.
" Coach really goes with his lectures." Stiles said as I smirked.
" Swear he is all energy." I said as I felt Stiles' gaze on me.
" So, what's it like being a werewolf?" He asked as I chuckled.
" It's like a constant adrenaline rush that you have access to. Like you have another part of yourself that feels what you feel, but can snap its control. My wolf, it's comforting and I never feel alone." I said as he smiled. I let out a yawn and saw he had some Star Wars movies.
" Awesome!" I said as I pointed at the cases.
" Do you like Star Wars?" He asked as I saw those brown eyes light up.
" Duh, who doesn't!" I said as he sat up.
" Well, let's watch!" He said as I smirked.
" Well, it is smart for a break." I said as I put my notes and my book to the side. He put in the first one. We just sat on his bed watching the movie. I didn't realize it but I ended up laying my head on his shoulder and it felt different, like I could finally be myself and not this person I pretended to be, normal, as if. The first one ended and I noticed the time.
" I gotta get home, Derek's probably worried about me." I said as he smiled. I packed up my stuff and walked to my bike.
" I'm glad we could study." He said with a genuine smile. I smiled and then placed a small kiss on his cheek.
" So did I." I told him before I saw the small smile and spark in his eyes. I rode home and felt the rain. I covered up my bike and then headed inside. I was happy and felt like I was walking on air. I needed to focus, I smelt blood and a familiar scent. I walked outside to see Derek carrying a wrapped-up sack.
" Is that?" I asked as he nodded. I let a single tear drop from my face. I felt my eyes change as I saw his reason. My sister was dead and Derek was holding her wrapped up body.
" I'll get the shovels." I said as I went inside and got them. We buried her and I grabbed the rope. I put on a mask as I handled the wolfsbane. Derek placed her wrapped-up body on the ground and I handled the rope. After Derek had her wrapped up, I placed the rope on the ground and left the wolfsbane flower exposed. I backed up as my eyes remained glowing their ruby red. I saw the spiral slightly glow.
"They will pay." I growled as I left myself shift for the first time in a good bit. My claws were sharp, my fangs bared, my eyes full glowing ruby red. My ears were at a full point and my forehead shifted. I let out a howl that held emotion, pain, and agony. I fell to my knees and on my hands. I took deep breaths and changed back.
" I'm ok." I said as I saw Derek look concerned.
" Total control?" He asked as I flashed my eyes.
" I have my Anchor. My family." I told him as I walked over then patted his shoulder. I went inside and lay down on my bed. The shift took a little out of me, but I don't like people knowing I'm an Alpha, the only people who know are Derek and.
" Laura." I whispered as I felt tears lining my eyes. I gripped my pillow and let my mind drift to sleep.
" You have to try, Selene!" I cried as the rain pelted us harder. Her heavy breathing was getting worse.
" I promise you will make it out of this. I won't." She said as tears filled my eyes. We only got away from the hunter, but for how long?
I woke up in a slight sweat. I checked my phone. 6:32 Am. I got up and showered. I got dressed in a blue long sleeve and black jeans. I grabbed my leather jacket and converses. I can't blame myself for that night, we were cornered. I pushed the memory down and went to school. Classes were a bore, especially Chemistry, I saw I got an A on a paper. Yay! Mr. Harris was giving me a worried glance, huh wonder why? I got out of Chem and headed to Art. I looked outside as I was working on my sketch.
" All this worries about Argents, I wish they would just drop." I said as I thought about the hunters. Class ended pretty much and as I got to my locker, I saw Stiles.
" A friendly face? I'm shocked." I said as he smiled.
" Well, I mean." He said as I smiled.
" Being a Hale, people think 'dark and broody' but that is just Derek pretty much." I said as I put something in my locker and grabbed my helmet.
" I guess so." He said as I shut the door.
" So I'm glad we could study together and I think it would be cool if we could.." He said as he scratched the back of his neck.
" Go out?" I asked as he blushed. I smiled a full grin.
" I guess that's what you were going to ask?" I asked as he nodded.
" Tomorrow night, seven o clock. Don't be late. Beacon Hills Bowling Alley." I said before giving him a small kiss on the cheek and going to my bike. I got home and parked out back.
" Derek! DEREK!" Scott's voice was loud and filled with anger. I walked to the door and got on the porch.
" Stay away from her! She doesn't know anything!" Scott yelled at my brother, who I see was on the porch.
" Yeah? What if she does?" Derek said as he was about six feet away from Scott. Lover's quarrel I swear to god.
" You think your little buddy Stiles can just Google "Werewolves," and now you got all the answers? Is that it?" Derek said as I saw Scott was silent and my brother was still slightly egging on Scott.
" You don't get it yet, Scott, but I'm looking out for you. Think about what could happen. You're on the field... the aggression takes over... and you shift in front of everyone." Derek said as he picked up Scott's lacrosse stick.
" Your mom, all your friends... and when they see you…" Derek said before he claws the netting.
" Everything falls apart." He said before throwing the stick in the air and darting away from Scott's view. I walked to Scott as he backed away.
" Easy, I'm not as broody and dark-held as my brother." I said as he nodded.
" The Argent's are not good people, Allison looks to be the only good Argent. I don't know about her parents." I said as Scott looked to be deciding something.
" Her dad shot me with a crossbow." He said as I chuckled.
" I've been shot a fair amount, but being a werewolf, we heal." I said before walking backward and heading back inside.
" Ease up grumpy wolf." I said as he scowled at me.
" I think you are going soft." He said as I scoffed.
" For being a teen? Relax Derek! I'll be ok." I said as I flashed my eyes.
" You can't fall for some teenager." He said as he got in my face.
" What makes you think that?" I asked as he lifted his brow.
" I see the looks you give that Stilinski kid." He said as I walked away and flipped him off.
" I'm not falling!" I yelled before going upstairs. I slammed my door and lay on my bed.
But was I falling for him, I don't know. When I'm around him, I feel weird, but a good weird. I thought to myself. I sighed and checked my messages. Nothing. I got up and changed my clothes. I changed into a dark green tank top and spandex leggings. I jumped out of a window and shifted. I ran through the preserve. The wind winded through my hair as I found myself at Lookout Point. I shifted back and sat on a rock. I plugged my headphones in and laid back. Music fills my ears as I let my mind drift. I pulled my headphones out and decided to head back. The morning was just shy of daybreak. I go back in through the window and lay on my bed. It was a couple of hours before there was a loud knock on the door. I heard Derek open the door. I go downstairs.
" Are you two the only ones here?" An officer asked.
" Yes, why?" Derek asked as I was on the steps.
" We need to bring you both in for questioning." The sheriff asked as I went wide-eyed.
" What did we do?" I asked as Derek turned to me.
" We found a body on the property." He said as I went wide-eyed. One cop grabbed me and Derek almost went to hit him.
" Son, if you are gonna be like that then we will cuff you." Another cop said, Derek shut up and they cuffed him.
" I'll go willingly." I said low. They have nothing on us. I saw Scott leaning against Stiles' jeep, I was slightly disappointed but slightly annoyed. I was placed next to my brother.
" I'm not mad, just annoyed." I said as Derek looked over at me.
" Seems like your little crush got us in trouble." He said as I gave him the signature Hale death glare. Speaking of, Stiles comes into the cop car.
" Okay, just so you know, I'm not afraid of you." Stiles said as he puffed out in confidence. I saw my brother looking at him with the glare I just gave him.
" ...Okay, maybe I am. Doesn't matter. I just wanna know something." Stiles asked as I looked at him. I can tell he looked sad and sorry. Give me an apology and we are good.
" The girl you killed? She was a Werewolf." He said as I looked a bit annoyed.
" She was a different kind, wasn't she? I mean, she could turn herself into an actual wolf, and I know Scott can't do that. Is that why you killed her?" Stiles asked, why does he think that?
" Why are you so worried about me, when it's your friend who's the problem?" Derek asked him.
" Stiles." I said as he looked at me.
" When he shifts on the field, what do you think they're gonna do, huh? Just keep cheering him on?" I asked him as I wanted him to do the right thing.
" We can't stop him from playing, but you can…" Derek said as I nodded.
" And trust me- you want to. Also I think when we get out you owe me a hell of an apology." I said before Stiles was dragged out. Derek looked out the window. We were taken and put in different cells.
" Surprise surprise. Cora always did say if one of us ended up incarcerated it would be my ass." I said to myself. I missed my little sister. She was a couple of months younger than me. That was before the fire. I was soon brought for questioning.
" Why was there the other half of the missing girl on your property?" Sheriff Stilinski asked me.
" I don't know anything. Haven't been home for a week and already you guys think the Hales are up to no good." I told him, and he deadpans at my response.
" Why are you and Derek holed up in your old home, don't you guys have a better homing situation?" He asked me.
" Trying to." I said as I shrugged my shoulders.
" I know you've been around my son." He said as I lifted up my head.
" Just trying to be a normal teen after experiencing tragedy in my hometown where my own home was burned down with 11 members of my family and my uncle in a coma." I told him. He nodded.
" I don't hate your son." I said as he lifted an eyebrow.
" Hell, he's the first good thing to happen to me in this shit hole." I said as he watched me.
" I'll be back." He said as I nodded.
" I don't think you are trouble, but please try to stay out of it." He said before leaving. He must be going to the game. I waited for a few hours before a deputy came into the room.
" You two are free to go." He said as I nodded.
" On what grounds if you don't mind me asking?" I asked as he sighed.
" Animal hairs were found on the body. And I'm sorry for your loss." He said as I knew where this was going.
" What do you mean?" I asked him.
" It's your older relative. Laura Hale." He said as I let a single teardrop.
" Is my brother aware of the news?" I asked as he nodded.
" I want to see him." I said as the officer nodded. He took me to Derek, who had our stuff. I hugged him and he embraced me. We parted and left.
" I'll see you at home." I said as we left the station. He nodded and I knew where I was going. I found the Stilinski house. I saw Stiles' window was lit up. I climbed up the side and knocked on the window.
" Raven?" He asked as he opened the window.
" Let me in?" I asked as he helped me inside.
" Now you know. We buried her on the property to give her peace with the family that was burned down by the ones that wish to destroy us." I said as I looked at him. I shut the door.
" I am so sorry." He said as I shook my head.
" The weekend after the party, I mourned her death." I told him as I sat on his bed, a" I'm stand he sat next to me.
" I want to find the ones responsible." I said to him as I laid my head on his shoulder.
" Again Raven I'm sorry." He said to me.
" I know, and I think with your help we can figure out who committed the arson that killed my family and drew my sister back and led her to her death." I said as he nodded. I pulled my phone out and texted my brother.
I'll be home soon. RH.
" I have to go." I told him. I got up and so did he.
" So you aren't mad?" He asked me.
" Maybe a little, but right now. I just need a decent night's sleep." I said as I went to the window.
" I will still see you tomorrow." I said before leaving. I ran back home. I saw Derek asleep on the couch. I smirked and went up to my room and lay in bed. Tired and annoyed, I just relaxed and let my mind drift. I have to remember that Stiles didn't understand, but slowly but surely, I'll figure it out.
