So Cold ▹ Scott McCall [1]

INVINCIBLE

Alexia was a true fighter, Gerard had seen it in her eyes when he first saw her when she was just five. Now, he was sure.

That may have something to do with the fact that she was a broken girl, she always had been, deep down. Broken girls blossom into great warriors, isn't that what people say?

Alexia may have hated the fact that she had to train with Gerard, but she took the best of it. She though Gerard had made her into a warrior; little did she know she had been one since the day she was born, she only needed someone to tell her that, to show her - not teach, guide.

"Your big first hunt tonight." Gerard spoke up, while entering the kitchen, "Are you excited?"

"Sure." Alexia lied, nodding.

Allison went in her car that day, she was happy to have her sister understanding what Gerard had to offer, it seemed good at her eyes. Only she didn't know Alexia was faking all of it.

When they got to school ground, Alexia reached for her phone, pressing the first name on her last sent messages and texting a new one. It was to Scott, telling him she had finally managed to do her part on the last train. She felt pretty proud of herself.

Soon enough, the Argent sisters found their friend, Lydia, next to their lockers. She was already smiling, and they all made their way to class.

Stiles was there, his eyes already wondering Alexia, weirdly. It wasn't the first time her friend did that, he had been doing that for the past two weeks, and she was starting to think maybe it would be better to ask him about it.

The teacher arrived, and that was also when Alexia's phone buzzed, so she reached for it, under her table. It was Scott, answering her, asking her to meet him after class.

A lot of people seemed to just sleep during class, but Alexia was actually a big fan of history, she had always been. So that was probably why it went by so fast.

Allison called her, when she was heading out of the classroom. She turned around, her hands already sweating just by thinking which other lie she would have to tell this time. It felt even more wrong having to lie about her meeting with Allison's ex-boyfriend; where they even exes? Alexia was very confused about that, to tell the truth.

"Where are you going, Lexi?"

"Ah, I'm not feeling very well." She faked a smile, "I'm going to the bathroom."

"Anything, call me." Allison smiled warmly, "See you later."

Alexia had to pretend to enter the wc, and only when she couldn't see her sister in the hallway, she turned around and made her way to the library. She entered the silent room, her eyes quickly scanning the place, looking for the cameras.

She was walking around, looking for Scott in the middle of the self, when a hand wrapped around her wrist, pushing her to one corner. She didn't feel that scared, she knew it was Scott.

"Sorry." He apologized, that sweet smile of his dacing on his face, "I didn't mean to scare you."

"You didn't actually." Alexia chuckled slightly, her face then becoming more serious, "Did you read my text?"

"Yeah, I knew you could do it." Scott smiled proudly at her, "Now we just have to wait."

"I hate waiting." She pressed her back against the books.

He stepped closer to her, "I'm sorry you had to train with him."

"I just... I just want to save everyone." With that, Alexia remembered Gerard's words that morning, "Gerard told me something this morning... I..." She swallowed, "I'm having my first hunt tonight."
