Chapter 1 - Newcomer
Scene 1: Alpha Pack
Lydia and Allison stood leaning by a row of lockers watching as dozens of students entered the school. The redhead had her eye out gazing over the mass of teens looking for a certain standout.
"Freshmen. Tons and tons of fresh men." Lydia licked her lips enticingly, but then scoffed when one of the more nerdy boys tried to throw her a wink.
"You mean fresh boys. Lydia, they're 14." Allison stated as she looked over at her friend.
"Eh, some are more mature than others." Lydia insisted. She was confident in her abilities to find a potential partner, but for now she needed something else.
"You know, it's ok to be single. Focus on yourself for a little while, work on becoming a better person." Allison tried to advise her friend on the benefits of not being in a relationship. Lydia, however, was not taking any of it.
"Allison, I love you. So if you need to do that thing where we talk about me and pretend like we're not actually talking about you, it's totally fine. But I don't want a boyfriend. I want a distraction."
Suddenly, two males both clad in dark blue jeans, a white shirt and leather jacket came strolling down the hallway impassively. Lydia wasn't able to deter her line of vision from them until the two had already passed her.
"Brothers?" Allison asked.
"Twins." Lydia confirmed.
Later, at a burnt down house in the woods
A boy with chocolate brown eyes and floppy hair finally came to after his encounter with a blow torch. Finally receiving the tattoo he had been wanting caused a small smile to sprout on his face.
"It worked!" The boy, whose name is Scott, grinned as he looked up at his friend with the coffee colored eyes.
"Well, it looks pretty darn permanent now." The other boy, whose name is Stiles commented as he looked at his friend's happy face.
"Yeah, I kind of needed something permanent. Everything that's happened to us... everything just changes so fast. Everything's so, uh... Ephemeral."
Stiles grinned, "Studying for the PSAT?"
Scott nodded, "Yep."
"Nice."
The boys were about to head out the door when Scott noticed something was off.
"You painted the door. Why'd you paint the door?" Scott sent a questioning look towards the alpha named Derek.
He replied with a clipped answer which caused Scott to become more suspicious.
"And why only one side?"
Derek tried to get Scott to leave it alone, but the teen wolf had it all figured out.
"The birds at school and the deer last night... just like the night I got trampled by the deer when the Alpha bit me. How many are there?" Scott raised his head to look at the brooding male.
"A pack of 'em. An Alpha pack."
This made Stiles jump into the conversation. "All of them? How does that even work?"
"I hear there's some kind of a leader. He's called Deucalion. We know they have Boyd and Erica. Peter, Isaac, and I have been looking for him for the last four months."
"Let's say you find them. How do you deal with an Alpha pack?" Scott felt it was important to ask this.
Derek replied, "With all the help I can get."
Scene 2: Favor From Death
Briar's POV
I had just stepped out of the shower when my phone buzzed blasting a ringtone I hadn't heard in a long time. I checked the caller ID just to prove to myself that it was actually him before I answered. I put it on speaker, so I could continue getting ready without the hassle of holding the device.
A man's gruff voice spoke up and excitement coursed through my veins. It had been awhile since I last spoke with him. The man on the other line is Derek Hale. I had met him and his family way before the events of the fire happened. It was truly tragic when he called me informing me of the loss and desperately asking for my advice. You see, I'm an Original vampire, and as most would see it as an unhealthy relationship I think otherwise. I always believed that werewolves could be great friends if we just went about it the right way. That's how I became buddies with Derek.
"Briar, it's been awhile." Derek greeted as I combed through the tangles in my hair.
"Indeed it has, Derbear." I responded, a teasing tone in my voice as I called him the childhood name I had given him so long ago.
"Listen, Briar. I called to let you know that I'm back in Beacon Hills, but there's been some trouble. I really need your help." As he explained to me his situation I listened closely. I, for one, without a doubt would've immediately dropped everything to go and help him. But I had made a promise to my sister, and I needed to uphold it.
"Derek, you know I would do anything and everything to try and help you, but you see, I'm sort of in a sticky situation myself. It's nothing horrible, don't worry. It's just... My family is hosting a ball and my sister made me promise to attend, and..."
Derek's response completely threw me for a loop. "Don't worry, Briar. It's not a problem. You stay there and I'll just come down and get you. We can attend the ball together, and then head back to Beacon Hills after."
I raked a hand through my long brown locks and sighed. "Are you sure, Derek? I don't want to make matters worse. If you're on a time crunch then maybe you shouldn't..." I wasn't able to finish my sentence when Derek replied.
"I assure you, Briar, it's not a problem. The lead I had on the Alphas turned out to be a dead end, anyway. My pack is also helping me search, so until we find a location I have all the time in the world. Plus, it'll give me a chance to see you again!"
A small smile crept its way onto my face and I couldn't help but agree.
"Great! I'll see you soon!" He then hung up before I could tell him the details. I'll just send him a text.
After I let Derek know the time and place of the event I zoomed downstairs to inform my siblings of the news.
Bekah was absolutely elated that I had somebody to escort me. My brothers on the other hand were a bit iffy. Sure they had met Derek before, but that was when he was younger. Much younger.
Now that he's grown up it makes the situation a bit more complicated. At least in my brothers' eyes.
"As long as he doesn't hurt you then he's good in my book." Elijah stated which caused my other brothers to nod their heads in agreement.
Kol then brought up the fact that he would saw Derek's arms off if he did end up hurting me. The picture he painted when he explained his plan of revenge was so vivid I had to slap my hand over his mouth to make him stop talking.
"We know you like blood and gore, Kol, but geesh." I couldn't help but laugh when Bekah said this.
Kol just rolled his eyes and left the room.
Rebekah then turned her attention back to me. "Briar, you still need to pick out a dress. I insist I help you since it's my job as a big sister to look after you." She said matter of factly.
Before I knew it I was sitting on my bed while my sister rifled through my closet.
"None of these will work, Briar. How about we go shopping?" Before I could respond Bekah tugged me along once again, but this time to the nearest dress shop.
As Bekah strolled through the store looking through dress racks Briar played a game on her phone. It wasn't until the blonde let out a gasp that the brunette finally looked up.
"Look at this dress, Briar!! This one would be perfect for you!" Briar had to admit her sister did know what she was doing. The dress was definitely her style, and the color went well with her complexion.
"Go try it on, little sister! I want to see how it looks!"
One of the store employees guided Briar over to the changing rooms. Rebekah handed her the dress and she slipped inside not wasting another second. After a few minutes passed the lock clicked and Rebekah sat up straight. She was excited to finally get to see her sister modeling the most beautiful gown.
"You look absolutely gorgeous, darling." Bekah complimented, absolutely gobsmacked at how well her sister pulls off the dress.
"Thank you, Bekah." Briar whispered, a light tinge searing her cheeks.
"That is the one. Don't you agree?" Rebekah looked up at her sister to see her looking in the mirror.
"Yes. This is the one."
