Mermaid in Beacon Hills

After the full moon

Victoria~

Opening my eyes I sit up, while looking around confused. "Oh shit." I utter out as I stand up completely looking around the woods. "Great now I'm lost." Heading in no particular direction I come to a creek and look for a way to cross. Seeing a path across I take it one step at a time, before losing my footing. "Oh no !" I shout before falling into the water. Getting up quickly I make it to the other side before I fall over, my tail falling out behind me pulling myself up I turn back and huff flicking my hair back over my shoulder. Turning around completely, I stare down at it and glare at my tail. "This is the biggest pain in my ass." I say lifting my tail before letting fall against the muddy earth. Clenching my hand into a fist in defeat, I look up to the sky. Feeling a stinging feeling, I look down to see my tail steaming, causing the steam to rise completely surrounding me. Once the steam clears, I see my legs and I stand back up again. "Okay this is freaking weird." Closing my eyes I shake my head before opening them again. Walking alongside the creek I spot a body laying on the ground. "Stiles ?" I question out loud as I walk up to him quickly falling to his side. "Stiles ? Stiles wake up !" I shout as he opens his eyes slowly while looking at me then he quickly backs up staring at me with wide eyes. "Stiles are you okay." I walk to him but he holds his hands out stopping me. "What, what are you ?" He asks lowly and I step back. "Fuck me." I utter out looking to the sky. Walking up to him I stare into his eyes. "You never seen anything, what you thought you saw you didn't see." With that I stand back up turning around. "Why would I forget something like that !?" Stiles shouts standing up. Turning back around I stare at him. "It didn't work." I whisper to myself. "What didn't work ?" Glancing at him I bite my lip before I turn walking back and forth pacing. "Omg someone knows my secret, oh shit we will have to move again." I utter out pulling at my hair. Turning back around Stiles stops me grasping my wrists lightly pulling them from my hair. "What are you ?" Stiles asks me softly as tears gather in my eyes. "You can't tell anyone Stiles, my family is happy here, and I don't want to be the cause of us having to move again." I tell him softly as he brings me into his arms hugging me. "You can tell me Victoria, okay you can trust me." He replies

"Okay well can we get out of these woods, and why does everything look burnt ?" Victoria asks looking at stiles who gives her an exasperated look. "You don't remember lighting things on fire after you've touched it ?!" "I had to call the cops last night !" Stiles shouts at her as she steps back wrapping her arms around herself looking down. "I have much to tell you."

Turning in a random direction she begins to walk as Stiles follows after her stopping her. "Your going in the wrong direction, it's this way." He says taking her hand and pulling her in the right direction. Coming out of the forest he leads her to his Jeep on the side of the road, letting her get in before going around to his side. He begins to drive as they sit in silence. "It all started two years ago, I was with some friends on a retreat in New Zealand, when I decided to go exploring." "I was walking on the shoreline when I spotted it, a cave opening so my curiosity got the best of me and I went in, it was so beautiful, it opened up to a pool where you can look up to a small opening in the sky." "I took my clothes off and got in swimming around, when I looked up to see the moon overhead, when something, magical happened." I say glancing at Stiles. "The pool began to glow, and it started to bubble as water particles floated into the skin up towards the moon, and when I looked back down I had a tail." I finish as Stiles parks his Jeep, turning to me.

"Two years you've been like this ?" He asks me while I nod my head slightly. "And last night, what was last night ?" He asks me next. "The full moon affects me strongly, I don't know why, but if I catch the moons reflection or if I look directly at it, last night is what happens."

"So you light everything on fire ?!" Stiles asks as I laugh shaking my head no. "That, that's new but." I say taking a water bottle and twisting the cap off before lightly opening my hand palm up as I twist it slightly, water flows out into a water ball. Letting it trickle back into the bottle I close the cap and look back at Stiles. "Woah." He says before getting out of his Jeep. Opening my door he helps me out as I follow him into his house. Looking around he drags me upstairs into his room before shutting the door. Looking around he grabs a bottle of water twisting the cap off before grabbing my hand and pouring water on it. "Stiles !!" I shout as I step back counting down slightly in my head before I grumble out falling down with a grunt. Looking up at stiles I glare softly at him. "Really ?" I question as I turn myself around to lay on my back with a huff. "Your cute and all but your really starting to get on my nerves." I say while giggling softly still holding a soft glare. Stiles ignores me and slowly sinks to the ground looking at my tail. "Do you want to touch it ?" I ask as he glances at me. "I'm sorry that sounded kinda dirty." I reply laughing as he slowly sticks his hand out and touches my tail. Pulling back quickly he wipes his hand on his jeans. "Slimy." He says looking at me as I roll my eyes, and repeat what I did earlier and clench my fist. Steam billows out and surrounds us before I'm standing back up, and looking at him. "What I just did is from what happened to me last night, with every full moon a new ability comes out, I can manipulate water, I can turn any boys body into putty at the sound of my voice when I go all siren on them, and I, now I guess I can boil water." I finish "Also I used my siren voice on you and it didn't work, it worked well on Jackson." I say under my breath as I sit myself on Stiles bed taking my shoes off. "God my feet hurt." I say laying down as sleep begins to take over. "Wait I have more questions !" Stiles says as he lays besides me in the bed. "Okay I can hold my breath for hours at a time, it takes ten seconds for my body to turn, I use baby oil to shave so I won't turn." I say as I flip onto my side looking at him. "Anything else Stilinksi ?"

"Yeah how fast can you swim ?" He asks "Well in open water 90 knots (104 mph) from what was timed by a speedometer." I say as he sits up looking at me. "I could swim faster if I tried." I shrug before sitting up and heading to his drawers. Taking out a Met's shirt and grey sweatpants. "Your a Mets fan, my dad loves the Mets ?" I say as I take my sweater off as he stares at my body. Ignoring it I put the Mets shirt on, then I shimmy out of my jeans and put on his sweatpants before crawling back into his bed. "What ?" I question as he still looks at me. "You just changed right in front of me." He says still looking at me. "Yeah I'm confident in my body, I don't mind showing it off." I say as I get under his blankets. "Well aren't you going to change ?" I ask as I lay on my side and close my eyes. I feel him quickly get out of bed and change before getting back into the bed as I let the darkness consume me.

"Hey is it okay if I wrap my arms around you ?" "I know we've only just met and had a first date, but." Stiles stops hearing a soft snore from Victoria as he smiles softly at her, removing hair from her face, he can see her clearly now. Sinking down into the bed he slowly wraps his arms around her, pulling her close as his head sinks into the pillow near her head, smelling her scent before his eyes shut.
