New Beginnings Volume I - The Hunt

Reunited

Chris : "I thought you might come." he said smirking. He returned to what he was working on.

"I won't lie to you, this won't be easy. There will be times when you would just want to give up, when you would rather just die instead of fighting, so you need to be sure."

Hanna : "Teach. Me." He turned to face me.
Chris : "Ok, we'll start tomorrow morning."
Hanna : "I'm affraid I don't have so much time." he looked at me a bit surprised.

"Then let's start, shall we ?"

       The training was damn hard. Beeing stuck in a chair and having to get free over and over again until I could do it in a decent time was pure torture. But I didn't complain. I knew it was my only chance of survival.
Chris : "Ok, you should really get some rest now. " he said helping me get up as I was struggling to breath from all the hard effort. "We'll continue in the morning." he said and took me home. The following days were traumatizing. I didn't know what I was getting in when I asked him to train me. I could barely get all my homework done. The training with Chris was consumning all the time that I had left.
       There were no big events during this time, which just made me more anxious, making me think about what's going to come. But I really didn't have much time to think about it, Chris wouldn't even let me breath with all his training. But these two weeks were also pretty good, considering the fact that I got to spend time with him, and detached myself from all the problems that were waiting in the real world. I haven't seen Scott or any other member of their group in the last week except for school, where we would just say hi. I was trying to avoid contact with any other supernatural beeing. There were also Max and his hunter fellows. They would give me glares from time to time but I just ignored them. The day started with early training (of course) but Chris went easy on me. That or I was really mastering this thing. Out of every lesson the bow practice was my favourite. I felt like Robin Hood, only I wasn't trying to help the poor but I was trying to survive.
Chris : "You're really getting to it! I'm telling you, a couple more lessons and you'll be ready to take on any supernatural!"
Hanna :"Even a hunter?" He paused.
Chris :"Hanna ... you know how dangerous they are. I'm not training you to defeat them, I'm training you to defend yourself. I sighed.
Hanna :"Ok, yeah ... "
Chris :"You should get going. You don't want to be late for school."
Hanna :"No, of course not, that would be every kid's nightmare." I said with sarcasm. He chuckled then took me home in order to get ready for school. I was feeling strange that morning but in a good way. I had so much energy that I could run to school and back. Just as I was getting to my car my phone rang.
Grandwood : "Good morning dear!" she said on a cheerful tone. "How are you feeling today?"
Hanna : "You would laugh but I actually feel good."
Grandwood : "Noticed any changes lately ?"
Hanna : "What do you mean ?"
Grandwood : "Oh honey, tomorrow is the full moon. You should have your powers back by now." My jaw dropped. I completly forgot about this. "Hanna ? are you there ?"
Hanna : "Y-yeah, I just .. forgot, that's all." I said and tried a forced laugh.
Grandwood : "Listen. Tonight is the perfect time for a ritual. It's an ancient protection spell that I learned back when I was your age."
Hanna : "Um.. yeah. Sounds good. Look, I need to get to school."
Grandwood : "Wait! That's not all. I have a great surprise for you."
Hanna : "Another one ?"
Grandwood : "Were you disappointed the last time ?"
Hanna : "I guess not. What is it?"
Grandwood : "Oh, you're going to love it! Well, them ... it's more than one gift!"
More gifts?! It was like Christmas was celebrated sooner! And if they were as good as mom's necklace I wouldn't miss it for anything!
Hanna : "Tell me! What is it?!" I said impatient.
Grandwood : "Oh, I don't know ... you need to get to school, you said it."
Hanna : "Heck with school! I'm coming at your place."
Grandwood : "No, Hanna! Just get to school. We'll meet after."
Hanna : "Ok, all right. But I'm dying to know! Can you give me a hint ?"
Grandwood : "School, now." and she hang up.
I got out of my car and walked towards the entrance. All I could think about were the gifts I was going to recieve from Mrs. Grandwood and I was all filled with joy!
Lydia : "Hey! " she said to me but soon noticed that something else had my attention. As I was getting the books out of my locker I saw him passing by, with brown medium hair, light blue eyes and a gorgeous smile - Andrew Mitchell. As he was getting closer I turned my back and hid behind the locker door. "Oh, I see ... Andrew." she said and giggled. I turned to see if he passed already and he was gone. "You know, there's this thing we call talking. I think you might want to do that with him." I laughed embarassed.
Hanna : "I don't know ... he probabily doesn't even know I exist."
Lydia : "Just go for it! You have nothing to lose."
Stiles : "Guys!" he said rushing. "Have you heard the news ?" Stiles said trying to catch his breath.
Lydia : "No, what ?"
Stiles : "It's them ... there are more."
Hanna : "Who ?"
Stiles : "The hunters." I exchanged looks with Lydia. "I heard there are more new students and then saw Max, Drake and Diana along with 2 other girls and 2 guys."
Lydia : "Are you sure it was them?"
Stiles : "I'm sure. "
Hanna : "Can this get any worse ? "
"Make room." "Let us pass!" I heard the voice of one of our teachers trying to make his way through the crowd.
Stiles : "It must be them." The students moved out of the way and I could see Mr. Danby carrying some papers, followed by the new students. My jaw dropped open and so did my books, hitting the floor. I could feel my eyes burning. I rushed and jumped into a hug. And there we were, standing in the crowded hallway, still hugging were me and my best friend Lana.
