Caught In His Claws

Chapter Twenty-four

Rosalind's POV

When the twins and I get to school I see the pack look at me. No one comes up, just an awkward stare. I ignore it and walk past them. Throughout the day nothing happens then I walk into science class and Liam and Jeremy both look at me.

"So forever wolf." Liam says and I sit down.

"Yeah."

"What's that like?"

"Doesn't feel any different." I respond.

"Interesting."

"If you want to say something, come out and say it." I get a little annoyed.

"I have nothing to say."

"I have something." Jeremy says and I turn toward him. "Stay away from my sister, and her friends. I don't want anyone to end up dead because if you."

"I'd watch your tongue because I'm not in the best place right now and I could easily rip it from your mouth. You know I can and that's why your scared." I turn back around and neither of them say anything for the rest of class.

Liam's POV

After science, I go and find the pack for lunch. "Rosalind is crazy."

"What happened today?" Elena asks.

"She threatened to rip out my tongue!" Jeremy yells.

"Maybe just," Scott's phone rings. "Sorry, It's Deaton give me a minute." He steps away.

"Just give her time, a lot happened. She definitely doesn't understand it." Lydia finishes.

"And how do you know she won't go around killing people!?" Jeremy asks.

"Because I was in her boat. Getting powers and not knowing how they work or what to do with them. She'll adjust, but you yelling at her won't help." Lydia explains calmly and Jeremy rolls his eyes.

"Calm down Jeremy. Let her be but if something happens come and tell me. I'll rip out her tongue." Elena and Jeremy both laugh.

"Sorry I'm back."

"What happened with Deaton?" Stiles asks.

"He got taken."

"So he's the next sacrifice." Stefan clarifies.

"Then we need to find him." Caroline starts to leave.

"We can't do much while we're at school." Bonnie stops her.

"We could leave." Isaac says with a smirk.

"We can't just leave school." I say. "We can worry about it after."

"After what, he dies!" Scott yells.

"That's not what I mean. We've missed so much school already. We need to just relax. The sacrifices happened at night, meaning we have the time to wait a couple of hours. And I'm not saying we do nothing, I'm saying we do what we can from school."

"Liam's right Scott." Bonnie says.

"I know. It just doesn't feel right." Scott sighs.

"Anything good happen today." Stefan tries to break the tension or is trying to focus on the positive, who knows. A bunch of no's and nope's come out all weaved into each other. The rest of the time we sit in an awkward silence that sometimes gets covered up by awful small talk. Other than that it's silence. After lunch ends everyone goes their separate ways, except Jeremy and I, we have math together now.

"We have to do something about Rosalind. No one else was there, they don't understand. You were there, you understand, tell me that you do." Jeremy says as we walk.

" I don't know. I agree with Lydia. When I first turned I almost killed someone, it was the pack that helped me. Sometimes it's hard to get your head around new powers. I think that until she actually hurts someone we leave her alone." Jeremy doesn't say anything he just walks faster so that we are not together anymore.

Bonnie's POV

"I really think we need to do something about Deaton." Scott says.

"One more hour, then schools over and we can do anything we need." I say.

"I think she's listening," Issac whispers.

"Then we should say something," Caroline suggests. "Hey Rosalind! Come over here." She yells, and Rosalind walks over.

"We're you listening to us?" Elena asks.

"You looked like were talking about something import, I wanted to know what."

"Then ask us." Lydia replies.

"What happened to Deaton?" Rosalind asks hesitantly.

Scott looks at Lydia and Caroline. "Are you two sure about this." They both nod. "He went missing, and we don't know what happened."

"You're lying, I can hear your heartbeat." She says,

"We think he's the next sacrifice." Stefan explains.

"Are you sure?" Rosalind looks intrigued.

"Yes." Issac replies.

Aiden comes up behind Rosalind and puts his arms around her. "One, don't put your arms around me." She turns around to face him. "And two we have to go." She grabs his hand and walks away.

"Wait! You can't just leave school?" I yell, but they don't listen.

Rosalind's POV

"What happened?" Aiden asks.

"Deaton got taken. Or at least he's missing."

"Does that mean he's not a suspect anymore."

"Don't make this sound like we're the FBI. But no, he's still a suspect."

"How? He got taken and is going to die, wouldn't that take him off the list."

"Because just because he's missing doesn't mean he's the next sacrifice. The list is almost done, and we're getting close. He could have just left to get this next part finished as soon as possible, to stay out of the way and finish it cleaning. Nothing's changed except the involvement of the pack. They aren't going to think about doing anything but trying to save him, which gets in our way. Deaton's not innocent until his dead body is found." I explain.

"So what are we doing now?'

"I hate saying this, but we're gonna go play FBI." I roll my eyes.

"We should get Ethan." Aiden goes to leave but before he does I go and grab the keys from his pocket. Before I get them all the way out he grabs my wrist and pulls me closer. "Let's get one thing straight, You are never going to drive my bike again." He grabs the keys from my hand and walks away. I sigh awkwardly until Aiden comes back with Ethan.

"What's happening? Aiden didn't explain."

"I'll explain when we get there." Aiden gets on his bike and I get on behind him. "Just follow us." Aiden drives away and Ethan takes a bit before he catches up.

What happens after? Does everyone go their separate ways and the story ends? Or does something else happen?

Anyway please vote and comment. I hope you enjoyed it.
