"Isaac, are you sure they want someone else to deal with?"

It was my first day back to the US since I moved to France when I was Ten. I met Isaac when he moved to France and he wanted to bring me back to his friends in the US once he heard about my abilities.

He was shocked at first. Someone changing into a werewolf, a coyote, okay. But a jaguar? Possibly unheard of.

And that's why I'm now in a car in the US for the first time in Seven years. I have to admit, I'm not the best at making friends. People tend to walk over me, it was possibly a blessing when Isaac took me in. I remember what I was like back then. I was scared, scared of myself and scared of my powers. I felt utterly alone, I didn't think anyone could be like me until I met Isaac. He's like a brother to me.

We pull up at a small suburban-looking house.  Maybe this is the Scott that Isacc talked about. 

"Well, you ready?" Isaac questions.

I nod my head and get out of the car.  I follow Isaac to the front of the house. He rings the doorbell.  A guy, our age, answers the door. 

"Isaac!  You're back!" He says.   

"Yeah, good to see you Scott." 

Scott turns to me, "You"re Adelia?"

"That would be me." I say.

"Wow, nice to finally meet you.  We want to talk to you and figure out what you are if that doesn't sound too weird."  Scott laughs and opens up the door.  I walk inside the house, which I presume is his. It's cozy looking, and there's more people inside. 

"Adelia, this is Stiles, Lydia, Liam, Malia, Derek, Kira, Mr.Argent and Deaton."  Scott points to all the new people.  They look friendly enough. 

"Mr.Argent brought over the bestiary, hopefully that will help us figure out what you are." Isaac explains.  I take a seat next to Mr.Argent and Stiles.  They have a laptop with them and are scrolling through pages of history.

"What did you say you shift into?"  Mr.Argent asks.

"A jaguar." I respond.

"Well, I think we have a definite answer. There's really only one thing it could be." Mr. Argent says.

"Well- what is she?" Isaac asks.

"She's a Nagual." Stiles says.

"A what?" Malia asks in disbelief. To be completely fair, I had never heard of this either.

"It's a shape-shifting creature from Mesoamerican culture. They have the ability to transform into many animals, but jaguar is the most common." Deaton explains. "They're very much like a werewolf. They're the most vulnerable on full moons and, with the proper training, can control their shifting."

"Oh, so a were-jaguar ?" Stiles asks

"Yes, you could say that." Says Deaton.

"Well then Derek can train her to control her shifting and stuff." Stiles says.

Derek stands up. "No I won't."

"Derek why not? She needs out help and you have the most experience?" Isaac asks.

"Because it's my choice and I said no."

"Come on Derek, it won't kill you just to help her out, will it?" Lydia tried to reason. It really wasn't working too well. We had only been here for - what - 5 minutes? And this Derek guy was already hating me.

"Fine. We start tomorrow. 10:30."

"Well, Adelia," Scott says, "Welcome to the pack."
