6:30 PM
I knew it wasn't safe to roam around the woods too late at night, especially if werewolves really were back in town. For years, my family and I have lived safely in this area without the worry of hunters, but here we are now. I spent my extra time researching the Argent family history, while I waited for the clock to hit 7:00PM. There wasn't much to be discovered, but from what I was able to gather, the Argents have been around for years, centuries even.
This is the day I've dreaded for years, and I'm still not ready to break the news to my bestfriends. Scott has already suspected things, but I'm not sure how Stiles will take it. It's like I'm playing the game of overthinking with the thoughts in my head, and every scenario I can think of, only gets worse.
I couldn't help but pace around my room, anxiously waiting for the clock. There was a feeling of hunger, deep down in my throat, and I knew it was time for me to feed soon. My family sends me constant reminders, that I can't keep living off of animal blood, and while I suppose it's true, it's kept me alive for all these years. Though I'm not quite fully satisfied, it's better than being dead.
My eyes only proceeded to become more red, with my contacts no longer able to mask the overwhelming hunger. There was really no hiding it, especially if Scott has already seen them. What Scott knows, the chances of Stiles knowing are anything but rare.
I take one final glimpse into my mirror, staring deeper into my own eyes. My body only continued to feel weaker as I postponed my first kill longer. There was no way around this, but I had to find one - I just had to.
Looking down at my watch, I noticed the time getting closer to 7PM. So, I quickly put on a pair of shades and made my way down the staircase.
The dim lights gave me a calming feeling as I felt the stinging pain from my eyes die down. Just as I made it down the stairs, I finally came back to my senses to realize mama's presence.
"Going somewhere, y/n? You know, your self control is at an all time low. Sooner or later you'll have to give in, it's just not healthy for you to hold in such a strong feeling of hunger.."
"I'll be fine-"
"Enough," she spat. It didn't take a lot to frustrate her, but I could feel the tension between us only growing stronger each day.
She continued.
"You don't know what you're doing to yourself, to us, to OUR family. You've spent all this time playing your games, while the rest of us are fending for you."
"You act like I wanted this life for myself," I said. It's true, I often find myself dreaming of how things could have been, had I not been born this way. Nonetheless, I continued.
"Sure, we've been given this gift, but what if I don't want to use it to harm those who have done me no wrong? I'm not like you, and I never wanted to be."
And I left it at that.
Part of me knew she'd give me shit for that once the morning arrived, but it's not like it'd be the last time. Mothers and their daughters are bound to fight occasionally, we're all human. Some quite less than others. It's natural. However, I knew I needed to take life one step at a time, so I made my way down the street.
The streets of Beacon Hills were usually calm, with young children running around playing games like hide n seek, or even tag. Neighbors would sit on each others porches while enjoying a bottle of beer, as the kids played. It's truly not a bad place to settle down in as you grow old with those you love.
However, lately things have gotten quiet. Some would even say too quiet. Werewolves being back in town, has only caused mysterious disappearances, leaving Stiles' dad in a pile of stress. The tension has only gotten higher around the street too, with parents warning their children not to be out too late. I couldn't help but wonder, what is going on?
It wasn't much longer before I was standing at the edge of the woods, my heart would be pounding if it could. Scott and Stiles are my closest friends, and I could only hope this would all go over well.
"Y/n!"
I stood shocked.
I hadn't expected them to arrive so soon, and if I'm being honest, they haven't always been very punctual when it comes to being on time. I could feel my body tremble with every move I made closer towards my friends, their curious gazes fixated on me.
We all sat down on the forest grounds, eager to hear the truth from everyone, but from me of all people. The night was quite colder than usual, and I could sense Stiles shiver lightly, but nonetheless I put my thoughts aside.
"So- who's speaking first?" Stiles asked, as he fidgets with the crunchy leaves beneath him.
"I'll go-"
"No, it's okay, I owe you all an explanation more than anything. After all, I've hid this from the both of you for years, this is only fair." I say, cutting Scott off.
They looked at me as Scott's brows furrow in concern. The night was quiet, and it made the scene far more awkward than it needed to be.
"I'm not- what you two may think I am." I began to confess.
"I'm a vampire, cold blooded, blood sucking vampire. But it's not exactly like how one would think. They call me a Legacy, stronger and faster than the ordinary." I revealed, fully expecting the feeling of shock or disbelief on their faces, but instead there was a moment of stunned silence as their expressions remained surprised.
"And Scott, I know what you are"
"How do you-"
"I could smell it on you. The moment I entered Stiles jeep, the only scent that lingered in the air was none other than dog stench. It didn't take me long after that to figure out which one of you it was." I say, looking down, a bit embarrassed by my reaction to him being a werewolf.
"You're still y/n to me, and Scott you're still Scott. Nothing has to change, this just means the nights of the full moon will be an absolute shit show." Stiles joked. He always had his way of turning a serious or uncomfortable situation into something more humorous.
Except things would change if my parents or the Argents found out. Though, I can't quite comprehend which would be worse. Nonetheless, I knew I needed to keep my focus on the present before I worry about the future.
Their acceptance and support washed over me, and I couldn't help but feel grateful for it all. I had feared rejection for so long, worried about how they would view me if they ever found out. However, this friendship holds a special bond, one that I will forever cherish.
As we stood beneath the moonlit canopy of trees, our friendship truly felt unbreakable as we've grown a new sense of trust and understanding. Everything was going to be just fine between the three of us, and that gave me hope.
