Finding Love Again

Familiar Faces

When I woke up it was about noon and my stomach was rumbling. I climbed out of bed and headed downstairs, my dad and brother were nowhere to be found so I went through the cabinets and fridge, but came up empty. "Geeze what do they live off of?" I asked myself. I headed up the stairs to grab my shoes to head out to get some lunch. As I was coming back down the steps the front door flew open and I could hear my dad and brother arguing and then a loud thump.

"Ow, what was that for?" Stiles asked. "You're going to wake up your sister!!" dad said sternly. "Too late," I said, descending the stairs. "But it's not his fault I've been up for about ten minutes." They walked to the table and set down fast food bags and drinks. "Good, we brought lunch," dad said with a smile. "Oh awesome, I didn't find anything around here to eat." I said with a giggle and sat down in front of the bag dad sat in front of me and Stiles passed me a drink. "yeah, I need to do a little grocery shopping" dad said and opened up the bag in front of him.

We all ate in quiet until the front door burst open again and in walked Scott McCall and a few other people. "Scott I said wait until after lunch to bombard my sister," Stiles said very unhappily. "Oh hush kid I'm glad he stopped by" I said and went over to give Scott a hug. "So Stiles tells me your a werewolf too," Scott said. "Yeah long story," I said making my eyes glow yellow I winked at Scott then turned to look at my brother. "He just never knows when to shut up," I said adding a little touch of anger and hostility. Stiles visibly gulped.

Dad busted out laughing as I continued to hold stiles gaze, "Belle, stop scaring your brother, even though it is extremely funny to see him nearly pee his pants," dad said. I shifted my eye color back to normal and looked over at my dad "Awe come on dad I at least wanted to get him to pee his pants just once." I laughed. "So not funny Belle," Stiles said trying to be big and bad. I rolled my eyes at him and laughed even more. "So Scott who are your friends?" I asked "Well this is my beta Liam his girlfriend Hayden my other beta" he pointed to a young boy and girl no older than freshmen, "This is my girlfriend Kira, she is a kitsune and this is stiles girlfriend Malia she is a were-coyote and you know Lydia" Scott finished out and I looked from Malia to Stiles two or three times, Then I looked Stiles dead in the eyes and he swallowed hard, "Girlfriend????" I asked him, "Why is it that I have to come home and find out that you have a girlfriend Stiles? We talked every day and I have to find out like this, the last to know everything in your life" I was so mad that I was on the edge of turning but I was trying to control it. "I'm sorry, I would have..." he started but I cut him off

"Would have what? Stiles, I told you everything even before I told dad you knew I was a werewolf before him and this is how you repay me by not telling me something as important as having a girlfriend, Stiles that is low even lower for your standers" by this time I was standing five feet from Stiles. " I didn't know when to tell you," Stiles said you could hear the fear in his voice. I went to grab him by the shirt, but dad caught me first. "Didn't know how to tell me?" I mocked him, "How about all those times I asked you if there was anything new in your life?" I was so mad at this point I was near shifting. "What does it matter if he didn't tell you?" a voice from behind me spoke up. I turned to find the source and found it came from Malia.

"Malia is it? well it may not matter that much to a girl who was nearly killed by her mother as a child, then in turn shifted and killed her adopted mother and sister, then nearly got killed again by her mother eight years later, but to me, it matters. After my mother died of cancer it was me who was there for Stiles when he needed someone to talk to, just like he was there for me when I need his ear in return, either he was afraid of how I would react to the news or he was hiding something to do with you!" I sheathed.

I was trying not to shift at this point when my dad grabbed me by my shoulders and turned me towards him, "Belle, you need to calm down sweetie, go for a run." he said to me and looked down to my hands I followed his line of sight and saw what he saw, my claws were digging into my hand and there was a puddle of blood on the floor. I quickly nodded my head and turned to the door and bolted into the woods. I was running full force through the woods and wasn't really paying attention to my surroundings just thinking about the why's and what had just happened at my dad's. When all of a sudden I slammed into something hard that smelt really nice and I fell backward and then lights out.
