A Hope Through Time: AnOtHeR WeReWoLf!?! Really? (Book 2)

Chapter 8

Hope took a monumental sigh, knowing that once she explained Lydia's powers to the two girls opposite her, she would change the course of this world's history.
The Tribrid went through the list of the powers that Lydia has and a small definition of what this ability entails: Harbinger of Death Sense - The ability to sense when someone is close to death by using Death's power, Clairaudience - Unique ability to hear the details surrounding someone's death, Premonitions, Divination, Psychometry, Automatic Writing, Supernatural Sensitivity - Being able to sense out other supernatural beings and Supernatural Immunity - The effects of supernatural creatures not working on her like an Alpha Bite, Kanima Venom or for instance Hope's Compulsion and also being able to use Rowan Wood and Mountain Ash unlike all the other supernatural creatures.
Hope had described these powers as passive and that they have always been active since the night Peter bit her and jump started her abilities. Lydia's subconsciousness has been subtly using these powers throughout the last 6 months but with Peter Hale's involvement, it stunted Lydia's powers, making her go into a fugue state more frequently than she should have.
Another thing that Hope brought up was that Banshees were actually human with access to the supernatural and that's why she has so many passive abilities rather than super speed, super strength or accelerated healing.

With some training or focus on her abilities these passive abilities could be accessed more freely, become easier to interpret and understand what her powers are trying to tell her, instead of how the Pack handled Lydia's powers in the normal timeline.
Shooting in the dark while trying to stay alive since her Banshee abilities always strived in the presence of death approaching. Which in Hope's opinion isn't the best plan for Lydia to learn as it puts too much stress on her mental health. Constantly being bombarded by her Death Sense over and over and over until her powers would overwhelm her and potentially knock her into a catatonic state for an undefined period of time.
This information was both empowering and devastating for Lydia to digest as she was finally getting the answers that were plaguing her mind since the night she woke up in the hospital with bite marks littering her body. It sounded as though without training her abilities could possibly put her in a psych ward if she wasn't careful and that scared her.
Lydia questioned Hope, wondering if all of her Banshee abilities were passive.

Hope shook her head in disagreement. "No, You have one active power. One that I'll admit I'm not exactly keen on teaching you how to use but I will. My ears will hate me and probably bleed but I believe that everyone has the right to defend themselves. So I'll bear the pain and teach you how to protect yourself."
The strawberry blonde looked intrigued as she wondered what her power would be. Allison was also interested in everything she was learning about her best friend but kept a comforting hand on Lydia's knee which the other girl had a death grip on as shown by Lydia's white knuckles.
"You said that my power would make your ears bleed. Does that mean my active power is sound related?" Lydia asked the brunette.
"Yes. It's called a Banshee Scream. Without training your Scream is able to reach the ears of just about any supernatural creature with enhanced hearing. It's also a way for your passive abilities to announce themselves. Usually a Banshee Scream is an indicator that someone is going to die. If you can learn to use this ability without the need to announce someone's death, the Scream can be a very powerful attack. One that even I would hate to be on the other side of." Hope informed the Banshee and the Huntress.

Lydia tilted her head in thought as she scrunched up her nose. "So my power is to scream? How anticlimactic."
Hope rolled her eyes. "Lydia... Your Scream can act as a concussive blast and for those of us with supernatural hearing, can deafen us temporarily or depending on how close you get, permanently that is if the Scream doesn't kill them. Your Scream could literally make someone's brain blow up in their head. Does that sound like your power is weak? That it is to be taken lightly? No, your Scream is dangerous and a powerful weapon... In certain circumstances your Scream could be used to level an entire town."
The strawberry blonde paled significantly as the Tribrid described just how dangerous her power could be. Lydia got a vacant look in her jade-green eyes as she pictured events playing out just as Hope said. Allison grew more concerned for Lydia as her friend's hand went slack at the information that was given to her.
