Gone Rogue

Chapter 7

"One of the female wolves went out with a man she met at the diner, she was just found dead by the side of the road. Two holes pierced her neck." Stefan said. I glanced over at Daniel, he did look sad, but I could tell he was undressing me with his eyes. 

"Do you know who is was?" Aaron asked. 

"Kelly Wright, young about 15. They said the job was sloppy, so I assume this Alexander guy was the cause..." Stefan responded.

"Alexander doesn't do sloppy. If he wanted to leave a message it would have been much more bloody. It is probably from the Vampire Clan that is just out of town." I said while thinking, maybe they were avenging the death of the few I killed?

"Vampire Clan? There is no Vampire Clan." Aaron snapped.

"Yes, there is. I drove by it, I remember thinking how horribly stupid it was no one had taken care of it, yet." I retorted. I glared at Aaron, that kid got on my nerves.

"Well... we need to tell the pack what is happening. Maybe they can help with Alexander, and about the Vampire Clan." Stefan said.

"Let me get dressed. You should call a pack meeting." I suggested. Stefan nodded and then turned and swiftly headed outside. Daniel looked me over one more time then followed after him, as did Aaron.

"I'll be here. Don't take to long." Tristan said, I looked at him and nodded. I walked over to my suitcase that still sat by the door and lugged it upstairs, then I chose an outfit that I thought would make me look cute, but serious. I wore a teal tank top with some silver designs, white jeans, and black combat boots, then I let my hair fall down my back. I walked downstairs and Tristan held up his arm, I wrapped mine around it and then we walked outside. Aaron was waiting for us on the porch. I groaned.

"What?" Aaron snapped. 

"I just don't like you!" I retorted.

"Well, I don't like you either!" Aaron cried. I heard Tristan chuckle and then walk away. I turned furiously towards Aaron.

"I am amazing! You have to like me." I said, 'a matter of factly'.

"I don't like you at all!" Aaron said smugly. I glared at him angrily. 

"Hey, Wanna make out?" Aaron whispered. 

"NO!" I screamed frusterated. That guy is weird, hot, but weird. And I don't like him, at all!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was now seated in between Tristan and Daniel, we sat in front of the whole pack. I felt nervous, they wanted me to speak to them about taking down the Vampire Clan and Alexander, I wasn't very good in front of crowds.

"Please welcome, my friend, Zia." Stefan said to his pack. Some clapped, a few said hello, some just nodded. I sighed and stood up, both Tristan and Daniel sent me reasurring looks. I walked up to the front, nodding at Stefan.

"Hello. My name is Zia, I have spent my whole life pretty much alone, I had a tiny family, but I never saw them." I said, I could feel Trstan looking at me, a guilty look on his face. "But, I am strong. And right now we all need to be strong. There are two major issues at hand. One, being a hybrid named Alexander and Two, being the Vampire Clan not even 50 miles away from here!" 

Gasps echoed through the hall. I could see people ready to scream out questions, but I held up my hand and continued.

"I can help you with both! Let's start with Alexander. He is a hybrid, half vampire, half werewolf. I know him, I know how he works. We are now working to find a way to kill him. It has to be done. He is a menace. Even if I leave, if I try to get him to follow me, he will come back here and use this pack as a message. I won't let that happen." I said loudly. I felt empowered. People looked at me with fear in the eyes, I had felt their fear earlier today... "We are going to kill Alexander, there is no doubt about that! Next, to be honest, I am dissapointed that this pack never knew that there was a Vampire Clan so close. There is, it is big enough to slaughter a town in minutes. We need to take it down. I don't mean to be rude, but this clan is not in the best shape. I doubt most woman here can even fight. So, I am going to train you. Anyone who is able to fight, will fight. Even the woman. I will not allow anyone under 15 to fight or anyone over 45 to fight. They will either stay here or be medical help on the field. This needs to be done. I am sorry if you are scared, but if we don't kill the clan, then it will be our deaths that happen." 

I took a step back and sat down. Stefan stood in the front and I sighed heavily.

"You did great." Daniel whispered.

"You sure did." Tristan agreed. I smiled thankfully at them. Stefan ended the meeting and pulled his and Aaron's chairs in front of ours. 

"Any ideas on what to do now?" Aaron asked. 

"Well. We need to do physical on each member of the pack. I need to know where they are as a group, then we will do training. I can train and so can Tristan. You guys need to train with them." I said.

"Why? We are great fighters!" Aaron protested. I sighed, I will have to show him a lesson. I thought. 

Without any warning I lunged for Aaron. I knocked him off stage and then jumped on him, pinning him to the ground. I heard him gulp and then look up at me shocked. "WHAT THE HELL?!" 

"I decided to show you that you can still use some practice. If you were as good of a fighter as you thought, then you would have predicted that." I said smugly. Aaron growled at me as he attempted to pin me under him. I rolled my eyes and dodged the attack and then threw him against a wall. 

"Was that all?" I said as I inspected my nails. I turned and jumped back on the stage. Daniel, Stefan, and Tristan were all laughing as Aaron stomped out pouting. "Let's get started."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I stood in front of a long line of guys without shirts, Tristan stood in front of a long line of girls, thank god they had to wear shirts. We decided that would be best. In the front of the line stood Stefan. 

"Go." Tristan said. I smiled at Stefan. He stepped forward. He handed me a sheet of paper, it had his height, weight, ect. Everyone was required to fill it out. I clipped it to my clipboard and then ushered Stefan to the bench press.

"Wow me." I said. Stefan smiled and plopped down on the bench. I watched not even slightly shocked and he easily did 500 quick reps on 350 pounds. "Great. I need to see your top speed, for running." I said as I scrawled down 500 reps, 350 lbs. Stefan nodded and stepped on the treadmill. I turned it on 1 and watched him walk, I slowly turned the speed up, watching as he didn't even break a sweat.

"Hmm, you are a cocky one aren't you?" I said as he pointed to the up button. Stefan smiled and then he quickly turned it up to the fastest speed possible. I sighed as I clicked it off and scrawled down a few notes. 

"Great. I think that is all I need right now. You can do some alpha-ey stuff." I said. Stefan chuckled and then walked away, shaking his head. "Next." Daniel walked up. I forced myself not to stare at his gorgeous six pack. 

"Here is the paper." Daniel said. 

"Thanks." I responded as I grabbed the paper and clipped it to the clipboard. "Let's start with the weight bench." Daniel nodded and dropped on the bench. I watched as he pushed the weights up and down. 

I felt a sharp pain rip through my head. I'm watching. A voice whispered in my head. His voice. I dropped the clipboard and looked around. I can see you, but you can't see me. Another pain ripped through my head. 

"Zia?" Daniel said worridly. 

Come find me... His voice taunted. Pain ripped through my head, causing me to collapse. 

You will never be strong enough. 

"Prove it." I whispered. I heard the whoosh of wind and there he was. Alexander.

"I will." He murmured. I felt myself being lifted up, then thrown in a tree. It cracked on the impact. Alexander smiled sadistically at me. I watched shocked as someone grabbed him from behind and tossed him across the clearing. 

"Stay away from her." Daniel growled. Alexander got up and ran at Daniel, punching him across the face. Daniel wiped the blood from his lip and snarled at Alexander. Alexaner whipped his hand out and clutched Daniel's throat.

I watched horrified as Alexander chocked the life out of Daniel...
