03 ; lies

Kate Argent burned people alive. Typical, I try to have a normal life and wind up moving in with a murdering arsonist's family. She was murdered herself, supposedly by a victim. This didn't make sense, Kate was a hunter like the rest of the Argents other than Allison. She must have killed them for a reason.

I doubted it was demons, they were practically unheard of back then. Vampires? No, she'd just cut the heads off. Werewolves? No, she'd just shoot them up with some silver. The weird lizard thing in that book? Too rare. I racked my brain for things that you burned, the best I could come up with was wendigos. But they'd not register in reports as corpses but dust.

There was something Victoria didn't tell me, and I was pissed. I felt used, like there was something she was trying to manipulate me into doing. I don't think I can deal with anyone else trying to manipulate me.

I heard giggling coming from the other room, Allison's room, and I stuck my head against the wall before realising she had a guy in there. And that guy was Scott. Ew. I heard Victoria's SUV pull up to the house and laughed when I heard them panicking.

I waited in my room to see if she found him but she didn't. I was walking downstairs when I heard a girl's scream. I could tell it wasn't human and ran back up the stairs to grab the things I need for a hunt: guns, knives, a machete and a few books about the beasts one finds in the night.

I ran back down the stairs and came face to face with Chris Argent. He had a bunch of men with him and the Gerard guy I met earlier, they were clearly going on a hunt. I could see the guns in their holsters and noticed what looked like a sword case in Gerard's hand. They didn't know that I knew and I was thankful for that.

I smiled and told him that I was meeting up with someone from school and he started asking me who, I thought fast and said the first name I thought of.

"Danny, he's really nice. I better get going soon though or he'll have finished season one of Chuck without me," I lied through my teeth but he bought it.

I would have texted Sam or Dean to ask them if they knew if anything was up with this town but that teacher still had my phone. I probably should have stayed till the end of the day at school but, oh well.

I adjusted the straps of my backpack and took out my EMF detector to scan for any paranormal activity. I walked into the woods and kept walking until I came across a burnt down house, I figured that this was the one that Kate torched, the Hale house. The EMF started beeping loudly as I got there but just as I was about to walk into the house I was hoisted upside down by some kind of booby trap. I cussed and reached for my backpack to get my knife but I couldn't reach.

I kept on trying to reach until I heard voices. It inwardly cried when I recognised them as Scott, Allison and Stiles. I didn't know how I could explain this.

"Wolves need a pack right? So maybe that's what she's doing, looking for an alpha." I heard Stiles say, wolves as in werewolves?

You've got to be fucking kidding me. I get forced to go here for a semi normal freaking life and my brothers don't even check to see if there's any paranormal residents occupying the town, assholes. The second I get my phone back I'm gonna kick their asses.

"Do you hear that?" Scott asked, "there's someone else here." He warned them and walked until they saw me and stopped short.

I hoisted myself up the rope as they stared in shock and reached for the switchblade in my backpack, cut the rope and landed gracefully on my feet before turning and sprinting away from the three of them. I saw the hunting party stride over to Scott but kept running until I got back to the Argent's home where I knew Victoria was waiting.
