The Start of It All [1]

The Truth

"Can you get up?" Stiles asked me after Derek left with Peter.

"I think." I attempted to get up, wincing at the pain in my back.

"You need a doctor." Stiles said, wrapping his arms around me to help support me.

"No, I don't. Just take me into the surgery room." I told him, and he looked at me like I was insane.

"Wha- are you kidding me?! What good will the surgery room do?" He asked me.

"Just take me there." I said, and he finally agreed. Stiles held me in his arms, supporting me as I walked. We got into the surgery room and I made him bring me to the sinks.

"What are you doing?" He asked me curiously.

"You'll see." I reached my arm out and turned on the water before placing my hand under it. I gasped as the cool water trailed up my skin, making its way up to my neck, washing over my bloody claw marks and making it look like they were never even there before going towards my back and healing it. The water then fell, acting like it didn't just have a mind of its own.

I wrenched myself out of Stiles's grip, and he looked at me in surprise, shock, anger, and awe. And many other emotions that I am just too lazy to list.

"What are you?" He breathed.

"Look, I'll explain everything. I have all night since I texted my dad and said I'll be staying the night at Jocelyn's." I said.

I have a lot of explaining to do.

"You're a what?!" Stiles yelled, pacing around Scott's bedroom while Scott was just freaked out.

"I'm an elemental. Well, the silver-eyed elemental to be exact." I said. "I know this is surprising, but-"

"Surprising?" Scott repeated. "It's shocking! When were you going to tell us?"

I bit my lip nervously. "That's the thing, I wasn't."

"You weren't even going to tell us?" Stiles asked me.

"No! My sister doesn't even know! Only my parents, Jocelyn, Derek, and now you guys."

"Hold up, Jocelyn and Derek know?" He said, and that's when I realized my mistake.

"Maybe." I mumbled. "Derek found out during the last full moon. After Scott flung me across the forest like a rag doll I got angry, and he saw my eyes change color."

"Then how does Jocelyn know?" Scott asked.

"She's like me. Her whole family is." I revealed. "They're the leaders of the Fire Heart Clan, her brother is next in line. But Firass is a lightning elemental, not fire."

"That's so cool!" Stiles grinned. "You're a real life avatar!"

I giggled. "I guess so. But my life is even more dangerous, and not animated."

"So that's why you said you knew what it was like to be hunted." Scott brought up, remembering the conversation we had when I warned him about my dad. "It's because you've been hunted yourself."

"Yeah. I was kidnapped when I was ten because of my abilities, these hunters wanted to find more of me, but I didn't even know what I was exactly then, so I didn't know anything. My dad killed them, and the reason we move around so much is to keep me safe, but also because of my dads jobs. You know, I've felt like an outcast all my life, out of place. But when we came here, I don't know, it felt right. It felt like we were meant to be here." I told them, and I sat down on Scott's bed.
