  Isabella let out a deep sigh as she watched the 'Welcome to Beacon Hills' sign pass by.

She was finally back home; after spending the summer vacation in Mexico with her Abuela for a while when she suddenly got sick.

But, sadly for Isabella, just as quickly as it had ended, school was about to start again for the students at Beacon Hills High.

Isabella had begged her dad to let her stay in Mexico a bit longer, but he had reminded her that she needed to return home to get ready for the first day. So reluctantly she packed her things, said her goodbyes, and made her way back to California.

Granted Isabella had nothing against Beacon Hills it was a quiet town and nothing really happens in quiet town - especially Beacon Hills.

No, what she dreaded was seeing the people here. Even though no one ever talked to the girl, except for Scott and Stiles and occasionally Lydia, when she's not pretending to be snotty princess, sometimes it would feel like everyone would stare at her or judge her if she said or did too much.

Sometimes it felt like they'd whisper behind her back or talk about the burns on her arms that they catch glimpses of when the long sleeves of her shirts would move up her arms.

It felt suffocating.

"Freak," she sometimes thought she'd hear around the halls or in the classrooms.

Isabella knew that she was a freak, because she just happened to be one of the two known survivors of the Hale fire.

A survivor that was not supposed to survive but did. A survivor that bore the scars on her arm to prove to everyone that she was meant to die that night.

But thankfully any memory that she had of that night she couldn't remember, just the pieces her dad told her to ease her young and confused mind.

A 'ding' rang out waking the girl up from the negative thoughts her mind took her through. Isabella looked down to turn on her phone and she saw a message from her dad telling her that he'd be home after her, something to do with a 'body in the woods'.

The girl quickly glanced up to see if the road was clear and looked down to send a quick response.

Another 'ding', her eyes looked down to the phone to read the message that had popped up, but out of know where she caught a glimpse of a deer come running out from the woods and in front of her car.

Startled, Isabella slammed both feet on the brakes causing her entire body to go forward with the momentum of her car- her head the steering wheel.

"Fuck!" she cried out, rubbing her hand on her forehead, but instantly retracted it back when she pressed to hard.

She squeezed her eyes shut attempting to shake off the dizziness and the ringing in her ears. She opened them back up when it slowly started to quiet down.

Isabella looked back up to the front of her car and she noticed that the deer she almost hit was no longer in front of her. Her heart started to speed as she felt a giant pit in her stomach start to grow.

Instantly she pulled her seatbelt off and got out of the car, but as she ran to the front of it the deer wasn't there anymore.

Relief flooded her entire body as Isabella let out a sigh, rubbing her hands on her face, making sure not to rub her head too hard. Calming her racing heart.

"It's fine. Everything is fine," she said to herself, she shook her head, letting out a small laugh.

The girl walked back to her car door the longing for her warm bed and a cup of hot chocolate, when a sudden shivering tingle went down her spine.
