🍒002; The Stalkers

                         †☯☯†☯†☯☯†

Maia Martin drove into the night, her car strolling down the darkness, passing a couple trees on her way, her green eyes looked out the window in confusion.

"You live in the woods?" Maia glanced at Theo.

"There's a property that my parents found." Theo amusingly smiles at her.

Maia felt Theo was looking at her and glanced at him with a confused smile. "What?"

"Why don't i know you? You're related to Lydia, i know her, but i never knew you, not like i ever talked to her or anything." Theo shrugs.

"I moved when i was seven." Maia states.

"I was around, wait...you moved?" Theo confusingly looks at her.

"Yeah, uh, long story." Maia mumbles.

"You can tell me." Theo assures.

Maia glanced at him, clearly unsure of what to tell him.

"It's okay, new guy, you don't trust me, right?" Theo nods with a sigh.

"Why are you so interested in my life?" Maia frowns at him.

"I want to get to know you, obviously." Theo says in a 'duh' tone.

"Why?" Maia confusingly looks at him.

Theo chuckles lightly. "You do ask a lot of questions."

Maia deeply sighs out, biting her lip with a nod and decides to tell him. "You probably didn't know me since i was homeschooled for a while, Natalie wanted me out of school for a few years, but, i met Scott and Stiles and i really liked them, they were nice to me, and, i guess that's how i got into school." Maia shrugs.

Theo confusingly looks at her. "Did you just call your mother by her name?"

Maia blinks at him, eyes went wide. "Mom, mother, right, right, that's my mother!"

"Truth, she's not my real mother and Lydia's my actual cousin–––when i found out, i was so angry, but, i got over it, my real parents were horrible and then i found out i have a brother." Maia informs. "I remembered everything because of Peter, don't know why he'd do that, but, it's whatever." She explains.

Theo seemed puzzled. "Who's Peter?"

"...the man that turned me." Maia slowly says, turning to look at him.

"Is he dead or something?" Theo questions.

"Nope." Maia smiles, taking a turn. "Worse, in a mental asylum."

Theo saw that he was already by his house and was surprised that he didn't have to tell her anything. "This is...my house."

"How'd you know?" Theo asks.

"I knew someone once lived here, well, around." Maia smiles, feeling awkward.

Maia's green eyes then looked out the window and saw a huge shadow pass by, clearly spooking her, she then slightly jumped as she felt something warm on her hand.

Maia then turned to look at Theo, who apologetically looks at her. "Didn't mean to scare you."

"Um." Maia looks at his hand, then at him.

"I'm looking forward to us being friends." Theo says.

"Yeah..." Maia says with an uneasy expression, spooked by what she had just seen.

Theo then got out of the car with a smirk.
