The tales of a New Girl

Chapter 6

Chapter Six-

Hurrying into an alcove as rain pelted down the building I had just found an oversized male button down shirt in a backyard when a woman blew a gasket cussing me out, I practically was swallowed into the shirt from my slender small frame. If I hadn't been so focused on the surroundings around me I probably would have missed the tall lanky curly haired teen walking down the mostly empty street "Isaac?" His head lifted up I could see the shed tears and some still held back he had a duffel bag on his shoulder slowly he made his way toward me.

"Derek- everyone's been looking for you. Are you alrigh-" he flinched as I raised my hand near him. I knew why that would be as gentle as I could. I brushed the tears away from his face. "Are you okay?" He was stunned and it made me wonder just what had happened to him. "You don't need to pretend. Derek made it clear he doesn't want me around anymore or in the pack. Why don't you just go back to your cousin." I could smell the fear outweighing his anger. He went to walk off when I reached out to his left hand gripping onto it even when tears formed and he was trying to yank it away from me.

"Screw my cousin, Derek isn't innocent here. Neither am I. I've done some really bad stuff too, people pretended to be on my side for a while till I trusted them. And it wound up getting my mother killed." He stopped pulling away looking at me intently. I swallowed the saliva in my mouth "where are you going?"

"Scott, maybe see if he'll let me stay with him? What about you?" I took a moment glancing out at the rain, thoughts filling my mind inhaling. I looked back at him. "Coming with you to make sure you have a place to stay first." He stared at my face for a bit till I looked up into his eyes, smiling softly. "Do you need some clothes?"

Making a hmm noise I looked back at the shirt still feeling exposed probably had to do with the no underwear on "it would help I forgot to stay focused and ended up shredding my clothes, though I'd rather wait till we're at Scott's." Letting him lead the way we were going down a few streets before he stilled near a house I could hear heartbeats as the scent of Scott filled my nostrils.

After making sure Isaac was safe I headed on my way to find Derek and the loft once more, refusing Scott when he said he'd drive me over there, half an hour it took after getting lost a time or two. When I did show up Derek was there first sliding the roller door open before I could grab the handle "where the hell have you been?!" A few scents wafted around him, blood and foreign werewolves. Except I knew what foreign werewolves.

"Now I get why you threw Isaac out. You may think it'll protect them but it makes them more of a target for the Alpha's. Especially if they use them to hurt you, and they will because some part of you cares for them. They're your betas." Moving around him I found my bag easily and it hadn't been touched much. Putting it over my shoulder I heard a second heartbeat glancing to the left. I saw my youngest cousin and one of my best friends Cora. She looked a lot like Aunt Talia, breathing out a shaky breath remembering my family. Derek stepped in my way when I went toward the roller door "where are you going?" He just stared at me, arms folded holding back emotion, I sighed thinking about the last few days. My eyes must have shifted to white because he stepped back on guard.

Stepping forward he went to push me away but I pulled him to me, an image of the Nemeton filled my mind it had drawn me in from the moment it found me that night I chased after the Darach. "It wasn't clear. You have to be careful of what is ahead Derek, don't push them away. Let them in." A few tendrils of what looked like black veins came from underneath the door. I knew it was there for me and none of them would see, stepping back I felt the veins surrounding me before I was gone.

Stepping onto solid Earth I stood before the Nemeton stump inhaling a deep breath. I moved forward sitting down near the middle of it, "I'm here. Show me how to defeat the Darach." Falling backward I laid out on top of the Nemeton letting myself be pulled into the vision...

Chapter 7 is in the works. It's going to be long as it will be full of flashbacks about the Hale family, Vanessa, Riley and the Alphas excluding the twins so it will be another week or a little longer hoping I can fit in as much as I can. Please feel free to message or something tell me what you think, I guess I lost the new follower after shouting them out, oh well.
