Wanted Dead but I'm Alive

I was panting heavily as I ran for my life. It was dark outside and it was raining heavily. I turned my head to look behind me, but I couldn't see anything through the rain. What I could see though was the red dots following me. Lasers.

I dodged around buildings, through alley ways, but no matter where I went, there were more hunters. I heard a shot ring out as I ducked my head, the wall behind me cracked as a bullet hit it.

I turned another corner but was hit with a fence. I panicked slightly before adrenaline filled me. I sprinted even faster, building up my speed. I jumped on a dumpster next to the fence before jumping over the fence. I landed on my feet, in a crouching position before I took off running again.

Most of the hunters were left behind as they couldn't climb it, so they started shooting randomly in my general direction. I ducked my head and continued running, turning the next corner. I glanced behind me to see I still had two hunters following. I don't know if they managed to jump the fence or if they were already on this side.

I took another turn, but it was a dead end. I backed up against the wall as the hunters turned to follow me. The slowed their running to a walk, aiming their guns. I watched as the red dots trailed up my legs reaching my torso. They went higher until they were aimed at my head. I closed my eyes, bracing for impact.

It never came. I heard a loud roar before I opened my eyes to see a boy and girl fighting the hunters, knocking them out cold against the walls. Even through the rain, I saw the boy had claws and fangs while the girl had a sword. But both of them had glowing eyes.

"Come on, follow us!" The boys shouted at me before they started running.

I didn't need to be told twice as I chased after the two. We ran for ages, but we didn't crash into anymore hunters. We made it to a car before we all hopped in. I was in the back as the boy was driving with the girl passenger.

The girl turned around to face me. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, thank you." I replied honestly.

"I'm Kira and this is Scott." Kira pointed between herself and Scott. I recognised these two. They went to my new school but I didn't know them.

"I'm Luna." I stated before leaning back in my seat, resting my head against the window. I was exhausted but at least I'm alive. "Where are we going?"

"We're heading to the animal clinic. It's safe there." Scott answered as he drove.

We eventually pulled up as we hopped out and entered the clinic. I followed behind the two, wary of my surroundings.

A dark-skinned man appeared as he greeted Scott and Kira. "Deaton, this is Luna." Introduced Scott.

"Hello, Luna. I'm Dr Deaton. Come in." Deaton said as he gestured me to enter. I walked forward, not fully trusting so I had my defences ready. I entered the room to see another boy about our age. He looked vaguely familiar. I think he went to the school as well. "Luna, this is Stiles." Deaton explained seeing how tense I was seeing the boy.

He turned around to face me, giving a small nod of his head. The five of us were in Deaton's room as Scott explained how they saved me.

"They're just going after anyone on the Deadpool." Scott finished.

"Deadpool?" I questioned.

All the eyes in the room turned to me. I don't know who was more confused, me or them.

"Yeah, a Deadpool. As in a list of names of people getting hunted down." Stiles stated with a gesture of his hands.

"I know what a Deadpool is but what does that have to do with me?" I clarified.

Scott reached into his pocket, pulling out a piece of paper. He unwrapped it handing it to me. It was slightly damp but mostly dry from the protection provided from his clothes. My eyes scanned the paper, seeing a bunch of names with numbers next to them.

My eyes widened and I had a lump in my throat. I read the next person on the list. Luna Syren. "Why is my name on this?" I managed to croak out.

The four exchanged glances. "Well, you see, everyone on that list has a supernatural ability." Scott started awkwardly. He turned to face me before closing his eyes. When he reopened them, they were glowing red.

When he blinked, they returned to normal. "Oh." I said, not sure what else to say.

"Oh?" Stiles spoke up. "What do you mean 'oh?' Why are you so calm? His eyes just flashed red."

All eyes turned to me. "You know what he is. You already know about the supernatural. Which means you already know what you are." Deaton said, catching everyone's attention.

I was so busted, I didn't even think of that. They all turned to me expectantly. "It's true I know about the supernatural. But I don't know what you are." I directed my statement at Scott.

"I'm a werewolf. Kira's a kitsune. Deaton's a druid." Scott explained as he pointed to each person respectively.

I glanced at Stiles. "And you are?"

"Oh, I'm not anything." He said awkwardly.

"Must be nice being human. Not hunted." I told him politely. He gave a half-hearted smile.

"So, what are you?" Kira asked gently.

I froze. I couldn't tell them. I wasn't supposed to tell anyone.

The four all looked among each other, confused why I wasn't answering when they know I heard. "Well, you're not a werewolf since I would be able to smell it on you." Scott started. "You're not a kitsune either since I didn't see anything around you with my eyes."

I didn't respond. I stared directly at the ground. Deaton spoke gently to me. "You can tell us what you are. We are here to help."

I didn't doubt him. They were supernatural like me. They saved my life. I was so conflicted, I was always told to never reveal myself. My thoughts were interrupted when Scott spoke looking a bit confused.

"Luna, you smell like the ocean." My face paled. "I mean it's really faint, but it's there."

Stiles scoffed. "Scott, we live no where near the ocean. So, unless she can teleport to the ocean." Stiles saw my pale face. "Wait, you can't teleport, can you?" He stuttered out in bewilderment.

Scott gave his friend a pointed look as I slowly shook my head.

"No way." It was Deaton who was talking. "It's impossible."

"What? You know what she is." Stiles asked.

"From what Scott said, yes. But they're extremely rare. No one's seen one in hundreds of years, especially on land." Deaton elaborated. "People thought they were hunted to extinction."

I was past the point of pale. I felt like I could faint. He knew what I was.

"Okay, so what is she?" Stiles commented.

"Luna, are you perhaps, by any chance, a mermaid?" Deaton asked me.

My blood ran cold. I was still staring at the ground.

I heard Stiles speak up. "A mermaid? Like an actual mermaid?"

I felt all four of their gazes on me. What do I do? There was no way I could worm my way out of this one. Many emotions ran through me. I had no choice. For the first time, I was going to break my promise. I gathered all my strength and looked up, my eyes flashing a light, bright blue. "Yes." Was all I said.
