Wonderland

Chapter 2

"Get away!" Katya yelled as she ran to stand behind Derrick. Daemon had been chasing after her all afternoon. He declared that he would get her, but she didn't want that. She wanted him to stay away from her. No such luck.

"What's wrong, Katita?" Derrick asked as he wrapped an an arm around her shoulders. Katya pointed at Daemon as he stalked towards her. Derrick laughed and she slapped his arm.

"It's not funny!" She exclaimed angrily. Daemon stopped in front of her brother and smiled evilly.

"Derrick, please, move aside and let me have my mate. She's been avoiding me all day. Don't like what you see little human?" Daemon asked in his overly arrogant voice. He only managed to get Katya to roll her eyes in disgust. She couldn't believe fate stuck her with an arrogant man whore!

"I hate what I see." She stated truthfully, and instantly regretted it as she saw hurt flash in his eyes. He stared at her a few more minutes before getting a secret smile on his face and walking away.

'Great,' Katya thought. 'Now he has something truly evil coming to plan in his head.' That most definitely wasn't good. For her anyways.

"Why don't you at least talk to him, Katita?" Derrick asked and she looked at him incredulously.

"Are you fucking kidding me?! He doesn't even know my name and he's already tried to get in my pants five times! Five fucking times!" She screeched before marching off.

Katya was so angry that she started cussing out loud without even realizing that Clara was at the door leading into her home.

"My brother isn't that bad." Clara said.

"I can't believe you're related to that dick! It seems you got all the good genes in the family." Katya walked past Clara into the kitchen. Whenever she was mad baking helped calm her down. She pulled out all the things necessary for chocolate chip cookies. She was throwing things into her mixer when Bianca walked in. Clara had informed Katya that Bianca was the pack's slut. She fucked anything and everything, and she was currently after Daemon. Great, just what she needed!

"Mad, human?" Bianca sneered. Apparently being human turned some bitches against her. Too bad. Not.

"No. Not at all. Did you need something?" Katya went for politeness. She didn't want any more problems. Bianca kept her sneer as she tapped her long red nails against the granite counter. She leaned forward and her tiny blouse hardly covered the thing that Katya definitely did not want to see.

"I need you to stay away from what doesn't belong to you. Nobody likes you here, human, so don't even try to fit in." Katya ground her teeth together as her anger rose, and was more than sure her purple eyes were glowing. Bianca didn't take notice and turned to walk outside, but she stopped at the door.

"Don't forget that you're just a piece of shit that no one wants." Bianca said. Katya had had enough and she rushed at her. She made Bianca face her before she punched her. Bianca flew backwards out the door and landed in a heep on the grass holding her now bloody nose. Katya stalked forward and wrapped her hand around Bianca's neck, pulling her up from the ground until only her toes touched the grass. So much for keeping her mage power a secret.

Her power flowed out of her with ease, suffocating Bianca even more leaving her gasping for air. Katya was faintly aware that someone was touching her arm, trying to calm her down, and by the tingle she felt she knew it was Daemon. Katya growled under her breath before throwing Bianca against the stone wall of her home. Bianca feel limply to the ground. Katya shook off Daemon's hand from her arm before stomping angrily inside.

How dare they treat her this way in her own home! Katya was fuming as she walked to her small gym room located under the stairs. She slammed the door open and immediately started taking her anger out on the punching bag. The more she thought over what Bianca had said the harder Katya punched.

She felt Derrick walk in a few seconds later. Katya stopped what she was doing and went to wrap her arms around him. He hugged her back and rocked her gently.

"It's okay, Katita." He soothed and she realized she had been crying. Why was she crying?! She angrily wiped at her tears as she pulled away from her brother.

"I don't understand why people can't just leave me alone, Der. I haven't done anything to anyone! Am I just a magnet for cruelty or something?"

"Katita, I have already told you that people are selfish and greedy. The only reason they hurt you is because they're jealous and want what you have. You can't let them bring you down. Katita, you are a strong person and what these people say shouldn't matter." He grabbed her in a hug again and comforted her. Derrick had always been there for her and she really trusted him. She loved him with all her heart, her big brother.

"Der?" She pushed away from him and angled her body towards the door.

"Yes?" He looked at her suspiciously and she smiled innocently.

"You're it!" She touched his arm before running out the door and into the backyard. Derrick chased after her and she yelped when he was close behind her. She stood behind one of the tables with Derrick on the other side. People were watching them with smiles on their faces.

Derrick lunged at her and she dodged his arms at the last minute and ran. The kids that were here joined in on the game and everyone helped her evade Derrick. That was until she tripped and he grabbed her arm.

"You're it!" He exclaimed before making a run for it. She growled and chased after him. She laughed as every little boy and girl jumped on him, keeping him from running. She took advantage and poked his chest.

"You again." She laughed. He glared at her evilly before she ran, the children following after her. She stopped and turned to look at Derrick. He was standing next to Daemon. No, he wouldn't dare! But he did. He touched Daemon's arm and Daemon turned to look at her.

Oh shit.
