The minute I walked inside the house, I heard the sound of the tv, and explosions.
"James!" I yelled, worried.
Isabelle walked into the room, "Don't worry, they are just playing the Xbox. I found one in the closet of James room."
"What's an Xbox?" I asked her.
"It is something that allows you to play games on a television." She explained.
"Oh, okay. Well, I feel like I should let you know where the Moon Pool is, since you'll be staying with us."
"You have a Moon Pool?" She asked excitedly.
"Yup, and if I'm correct, there should be one in the closet of all our rooms."
"Wait, each person has their own Moon Pool?" She questioned.
"No, but there is a passage in each our closets leading towards the Moon Pool. I'll let you find where yours is, that way we can each have a private way to get in."
Isabelle smiled, "Thank you again, your majesty."
"Call me Katy. Your majesty is way to formal."
Isabelle laughed, "of course, and you may call me Izzy."
"Okay then, Izzy. I should probably let you know that I'll be over at some peoples house tonight watching some movies. I'll be leaving at around 4:40."
"Okay. Anything you need me to do while you're gone?"
"No it's fine. I'll take car of everything when I get home"
"No. One of the main reasons I agreed to move in here with you, was not only so Andy and I could have a home, but so you could live your life as a normal teenager. I've already had my chance as a teen, you haven't. I'll take care of everything."
"I love you so much right now." I told her, already liking the idea of her living with us.
"Awww, love you too." Izzy said, then looked at the clock. "It's 4:30 if you want to freshen up."
"Thanks!" I said, and ran to my room. There wasn't much I needed to do. I decided to go ahead and set out a outfit for tomorrow, which were black leggings and a black shirt that said the word 'Mermaid' on it.
By the time I finished picking out my outfit for tomorrow, it was already 4:40, so I headed out to my Jeep. I hadn't noticed before, but there was a silver Lexus in the driveway. It was most likely Izzy's.
"Izzy, I'm leaving," I called out.
"Okay, have fun. Don't get too comfy with the boys there." She joked from the living room.
"Yeah, yeah! Bye!" I said, the got into my Jeep. I looked at the paper Allison had given me. I already typed in all the phone numbers, so I crossed them out so I wouldn't have to worry about which number was the address. Realizing Scotts house was only five minutes away, I realized I should probably get going. It would take me a while to figure out which house was his.
I drove around for a while, before I found a house that matched the numbers on the paper. Proud of myself for finding the house, I got out of the Jeep, and walked towards the front door. I saw some other cars were here, and figured the others where already here. I hesitated before ringing the doorbell. What if they changed their minds, and didn't want me to come anymore.
I pushed these thoughts out of my head. Allison had invited me. Surely it will be fine with everybody else. I quickly rang the bell before anymore negative thoughts could make their way inside my head. I turned my head, looking around while I waited for someone to open the door. Something moved in the corner of my eyes, and I saw a black cloak, but the once I blinked my eyes, it was gone.
"Katy! You made it!" I head Allison's voice, so I turned my head back around to look at her.
"Yup. Can I come in?" I asked.
"Oh yeah! Sorry. The others are getting the movie started. You are just in time." She told me. Together, we walked inside the house, and came into a room with a couch and television. Everybody else was already here. I hope I can remember all their names.
Scott turned his head at the sound of an extra heartbeat.
"Oh, hey Katy." He greeted me. "You can sit wherever you want."
"Thanks." I told him, and walked over to the couch Stiles and another boy, Liam I think, were sitting on.
"Hey!" Liam said. "Katy, right?"
"That would be me," I confirmed.
"Oh, so you speak up when you talk to him the first time, but for me you go all quiet." Stiles pouted.
I blushed. "To be fair, you were leaning over my shoulder, looking at the papers in my hand, so sorry if I found that a little weird."
Lydia and Allison smirked at us, and I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion. What's that about? I didn't have time to think of a possible answer because I booming sound came on through the tv. I jumped up, and squealed. As did the other girl, Malia. The others burst out laughing.
"Okay, I know why Malia jumped at the noise, but why did you?" Issac asked while laughing.
"Um, I'm not really used to television. My parents wouldn't let us have one." I said, keeping my heart steady.
Scott's eyes widened, remembering the lie I had told him about my parent. He must of told the others what I told him, because their eyes widened as well, and Issac cowered down.
"Sorry, I forgot." He apologized.
"Don't apologize. Let's get this movie started." I told him, trying to lighten up the mood.
"Don't have to tell me twice," I heard Stiles mutter, and I chuckled in response. Scott raised his eyebrows at me. Crap. Was I not supposed to hear that with normal hearing. If not, I would make an excuse later.
A bunch of words came on the screen, and I just managed to read them all. It was talking about something in a 'Galaxy far, far away...' I can't remember the rest. The first movie was sort of confusing, but Stiles assured me it was normal to be confused, and we would just have to watch all the movies. I texted Izzy I would be out later than originally planned, then they turned on the next movie.
By the time the third came on, I was almost passed out. I was however, conscious enough to notice how I had curled up in Stiles lap, and that he was smiling. I tried to turn my attention back to the movie, but the darkness in the back of my mind took over my body, and I fell asleep.
I was back in the clearing from my last dream. Younger me was running away from Lily, and the werewolf dropped from the tree. I heard Lily scream, just like last time. Only difference, this time the dream was so loud I covered my ears in order to block it out. I had a feeling that my sleeping body would be copying the motion.
'Please don't hurt her,' I heard the crying Lily beg, once again.
The wolf's response was the same as it was last dream. However, my heart still felt as if it falling apart. I could feel a tear slip from my face.
Y/m ran into the clearing. 'Lily!' She screamed.
'It's okay.' Lily cried. 'It's okay.'
'No, no, no, no, no.' I muttered, taking a few steps back.
'It's okay.' Lily whispered again, this time only to herself.
More werewolves began to surround us, all their eyes blue. The only ones that eyes were different was the one that held Lily. His eyes were red.
'You brought this on yourselves, young mermaids.' One of the blue eyed wolves snarled, while another tried to snap at my younger selfs hand.
'Run, Katy!' Lily screamed.
'Don't run. Don't run. Don't run.' I said, but it wouldn't make a difference. My younger self would still run away eventually.
'Not without you!' She screamed.
'Katy! Run!' Lily screamed, and the werewolf pierced his claws into her stomach, as my younger self took off running. I stayed, and screamed until my throat burned.
One by one, the werewolves left. Lily's eyes fell onto me. At first I thought she was looking at me, but then I realized she was looking at something behind me. I turned around and saw my aunt.
Lily tried to move, but she couldn't.
'I must thank you for the contribution of your blood.' Seraphina told the innocent mermaid.
'No!' Lily screamed.
Seraphina laughed. 'Yes! With your blood, I will be able to poison the king. It will take many years for him to die, but he will eventually. Then I can prepare my invasion on Atlantis.' Seraphina took some of Lily's blood and began to walk away. I almost believed Lily would get away alive, but then I remembered how we found her body.
Seraphina paused, then took out a knife, and walked back towards Lily. She bent down, and plunged the knife into her. She dragged it down the skin, in a way it made it seem like claws. Seraphina walked away, and Lily's head turned to me. She was so young, but had already excepted the fact she would die. I watched as the light faded from her eyes, and eventually I couldn't take it anymore.
I screamed. I screamed so loud it would rival a Banshee's scream.
I was still screaming when I woke up. I clawed at anything that surrounded me, I couldn't see or hear anything except my screams for a sew seconds, but when I could, I saw I was in Stiles arms.
"Sh. Shhhhh. It's okay," I heard his calming words.
My breathing was heavy, and tears were running down my face. I looked at my hands, and saw my nails had dug themselves into Stiles arm. Slowly, I undug my nails, but couldn't make myself do anything else. I was just staring off into space, horrified by what I had just seen. She had poisoned my father. My own aunt poisoned him. I shouldn't be that surprised, after all, she's also the reason Mom died.
I managed to move my eyes a little bit more, and noticed the entire pack was looking at me with worry written all over their faces.
"It's okay." Stiles said again. He didn't ask me what I had dreamed about, and for that I was thankful. I don't think I could even make up a lie after that.
I sunk back into Stiles embrace, and he hugged me. Not like the hug that a boyfriend would give a girlfriend, but the kind of hug a friend would give to another, in order to give them as much comfort as they could.
Allison made her way over to me, slowly, as if not to startle me.
"Are you good?" She asked me softly.
I managed to make my voice work again. "Yeah." It sounded like a lie though. I was actually the farthest thing from okay. At least I didn't have school tomorrow. Stiles softly pushed me off him, and got up, heading for another room. Only a minute later he returned with a bottle of water. Crap. I can't drink that in front of them.
"Here." Stiles said, handing me the bottled water.
"Thanks," I managed, and tried to wrap my lips around the top so that the water wouldn't touch any skin. "I should probably get home."
"Are you sure?" Scott asked. I had forgotten that everybody else was here as well.
"Yeah, I have to do some stuff." I told them.
"Well, it's already 3:00 in the morning. Are you absolutely positive you don't want to stay the rest of the night?" Scott asked.
"It's fine. Thanks for inviting me Allison. Stiles, the movie was amazing, as far as I could tell. Bye." I said. I heard them mutter a goodbye as well, I was already in the Jeep.
I stopped at some woods not that far from Stiles house, and parked the Jeep in a little ditch on the side of the road, before getting out. The minute I got out, I was hit by the cold air. It was only the middle of fall, so I didn't expect it to be this bad, but nevertheless, I started walking into the woods.
It was sorta creepy this late at night, or should I say this early in the morning, since I couldn't really see anything except what was right in front of me. I could sense water nearby, and figured I should go and get a late night swim. It had been a while since I transformed. But the deeper I got into the woods, the more I was reminded of my dream.
I heard a twig snap behind me, and my head turned into the direction the sound came from. Nothing was there, not the slightest clue of who had broken the twig. I picked up my pace, looking for water.
At last, I found the water, but just as I was about to dive in, I heard movement behind me. A man in his mid twenties stood behind me, and his eyes were glowing blue. I screamed and slipped on the ground, and my body fell towards the water.
Right as I was about to touch it, a hand grabbed me, and pulled me back to land.
"Careful. Wouldn't want somebody find out you're really a fish!" I heard a familiar voice.
"Derek!" I smiled, and pulled him into a hug. "How is Laura?"
"Um, she's actually dead..." the werewolf said.
"Oh my God! Derek I'm so sorry!" I said.
"It's fine," He told me. "But what are you doing in Beacon Hills?"
"Long story, want to go grab coffee, and I'll tell you everything that happened to me, and you'll tell me what all happened to you." I said.
"Deal!" Derek smiled.
"Great. Let's going," I said.
