Ok I haven't updated in a while but I'm pretty sure no one has actually read this book yet so it's ok😂. But here is chapter 5.
------------------------------------
Alyssa's POV

Allison sits in between me and Lydia as the lacrosse players start their practice. Coach Finstock walks onto the field with his signature whistle hanging from his neck as always.

I watch as he goes over to Scott and tells him something. Must be bad news if Scott's looks disappointed and upset.

I figure out what happened as Scott walks over to the goal. I know he hasn't practiced and I wince preparing myself for his humiliation.

I see him go down covering his ears as coach blows the whistle.

And it's started.

A ball flies in through the net. The next one follows but something stops it. My eyes widen as Scott looks at the ball in his stick with wonder.

Did Scott just save a goal? My grin only continues to grow wider as ball after ball, Scott catches them.

"Who is he?" I turn my head as Lydia answers unsure "I don't know." I just grin at Allison, "that's my best friend Scott." I happily say with pride. "Scott McCall."

Allison shoots me a grin. "He's amazing." Before I reply, Lydia cuts in. "Yeah, he is good." She says with a underlying hint of bitterness. I just shake my head knowing she was worried about him taking over Jacksons position of captain.

I look over to see how Jackson is taking it and grin once again when I see he is furious. Personally, i think some competition is good for him. He shoves his way to the front of the line.

My grin falters a bit as Jackson starts running. He throws it with force and I can barely see the ball speeding through the the air.

Oh well, I think. Scott at least had a pretty good streak.

I watch in amazement when Scott proves me wrong and catches the ball once again.

I cheer loudly along with Stiles not able to control my happiness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"It was like I had all the time in the world" Scott exclaimed.

We trudged through the woods looking for Scott's inhaler.  The heels I was wearing were getting stuck into the ground so without warning I jump onto Stiles's back. "Woah" he yells out as he stumbles a little before grabbing my thighs and balancing. He grumbles "thanks for the warning." I turn to Scott and he continues.

"It's so weird. I can hear and smell things that I shouldn't be able too!"

Stiles snorts as we, well he, goes through the muddy ground. I duck a branch as Stiles speaks up skeptically.
"Smell things? Like what?"

"Like the mint mojito gum in your jacket and the green apple lip balm in Lyssa's purse." Scott retorts.

I lean forward to check Stiles's pocket as his hand slowly leaves my leg and reaches into my purse and he says "what mint mojito gum..." I pull out a wrapper and raise it in front of his eyes.

A look of surprise crosses his face before its replaced with sheepishness. "And here's your lip balm" he meekly says.

Scott just grins a bit before turning serious again. "Guys I'm really worried. This all started with the bite."

"Do you know what?" Stiles says deep in thought. "I think I know what it is?"

"You do?" Me and Scott say together in sync.

"Yeah, it's a dangerous type of
infection."

Scott worriedly mumbles to himself as I eye Stiles warily.

"It's called lycanthropy. But it only takes effect once a month."

"Wha-?" Scott starts.

"The night of the full moon" with that Stiles starts howling before bursting out in laughter. I laugh too, unfortunately falling off him in the process.

"C'mon guys." Scott says but I see a hint of a grin on his face.

"Okay okay" I tell him. "But if you see me melting all the silver I can find on Friday night then you know what it's for" I finish with another chuckle.

"Hey Lyss, what were you doing with Lydia and the new girl?" My heart sinks a little as Stiles questions me about Lydia. "She just said she like what I was wearing and invited me to watch practice." I quickly change the subject and address Scott once. "So where do you think your inhaler is?"

Scott just turns away from me and looks at the ground. "I swear I dropped my inhaler here. And the body was right here next to it."

"What if the killer took them?"

"I hope not Stiles. My mom will kill me if we have to by another one. They're like 80 bucks!"

I turn and see a guy walking towards us and check him out. Pretty hot, had slight stubble on his jaw and was rocking a leather jacket. Damnnnnn. My heart definitely raced as something about him looked familiar.

"Hey guys" I interrupt Scott and Stiles bantering. "There's a Mr. Tall dark and mysterious coming towards us." Stiles scowls before looking where I was pointing.

"This is private property." The guy says. He makes eye contact with me and narrows his eyes a little before turning to Scott who was saying something.

Suddenly he throws an object, which I realize is an inhaler once Scott catches it. "Now leave" he says with one more glance at me before turning around and walking in the opposite direction of where we were going.

As soon as he's out of sight, Scott and Stiles start talking. I absentmindedly walk to the jeep with them trying to figure out what intrigued me about the man. I feel as though I've seen him before.

"The Hale house fire" Stiles says.

I stop. Derek Hale. Talia Hale. Laura Hale. Cora Hale. Images and faces with names pop up in my head until it's too for me to take. Suddenly it all stops leaving a house on fire with a boy and girl starting to run towards it.

I see it all play out like a movie. My grandmother stood there, holding a young girl. Figures were yelling for help from the burning flames. I feel black smoke choking me, my throat sore from screaming for help, my eyes burning from tears as if I was once there.

The boy turns and it's a younger version of the man in the forest. "Alyssa, leave get out of here." He shouts to the young girl who couldn't be more then 8. She wrenches free from my grandmothers grasp and sprint to him. "No Derek I won't leave you." "You have to. " The boy crouches down to her level. "Please Alyssa you have to go." He hands the little girl with my name a necklace with three spirals and a few tears that leaked out of his eye. It was the same one I had at my house. The boy looks up and suddenly instead of watching their interaction I was the girl, looking up at a worried face, with big eyes. "Go" he says. With the necklace in my grasp, I turn and run towards my grandmother. I reach her and look back once more at the crumbling house and the boy walking to the girl, both wearing different expressions. One crestfallen and heartbroken but determined; the other furious and angry wanting revenge. Slowly the image fades into black as the pieces fall into place in my mind.

-----------------------------------------------
So!!!! Alyssa knows Derek?! Was she the young girl? Why doesn't she remember until now? Did Derek recognize her? Honestly I'm making up the plot line as I go but I do have some scenes in mind. The other girl was supposed the Laura. You'll find out what happens to the grandmother in the next chapter!
