Why? *Brett Talbot* [Book 1]

🌪The final showdown. Just kidding🌪

"I smell gunpowder." Next thing I know someone throws and arrow, he growled only to be met with a gun to his head. Really, Da? I saw Isaac come in afterwards, he looked at me and waved, I waved back leaning against Brett more, he wrapped his arm around me making me smile.

"Wait! Wait! Thomas! This is his place. It's his." The boy backed down.

"Erza... If you bring in guests, you could have called." I rolled my eyes.

"We didn't have anywhere else to take them." Scott answered for me.

"I know this man. He may not remember, but we've met before." I looked at the woman as she went up to my da.

"You can trust him. I trust him."

"How do we know he's not like the others?"

"What others?" I sighed and looked at my da.

"Last night, there was a whole team after them. And they used crossbows." Kira handed him a arrow.

"They're hunters, aren't they?" He examined it.

"Not if they're killing for profit. Not anymore."

"Can they find us?" I grabbed Brett's hand as he held me and Lori close.

"They might already know you're here. Maybe they're waiting for dark." Oh boy..

"So we're not safe here?" I looked at Kir then at Satomi.

"We're not safe anywhere. We've been trying to get out for days. Everywhere we turn, we find someone new trying to kill us."

"If they're coming, Scott, they're coming for you too. You're still number one on the dead pool." Scott looked at me, I looked confused.

"I know. I know Lydia can get the answer from Meredith. She just needs more time."

"Then that's what she'll get."

"What was that look?" I asked making everyone look at me.

"What?"

"Don't, 'What' me. That look you gave me. What is it you're not telling me?" Scott looked at Da then at me.

"Scott?" He looked at my da again and sighed, he dug out a paper out his pocket and handed it to me.

"Is this the one Coaches printer kept printing?" He nodded his head. I looked down at it.

Satomi Ito 10
Malia Hale 4
Liam Dunbar 18
Meredith Walker 1
Liz Moore 1
Patrick Clark 1
Bree Leverett 250
Kaitlyn Schaar 250
Genevive Carey 250
Angelique fain 250
Lorelee rohr 250
Erza Argent 250

"Why didn't you tell me?" Scott looked down then at me.

"I didn't know how.." I looked at my da who looked confused, I passed him the paper.

"How is this possible Scott? She's human." Brett looked down at me.

"I'm worth 250? How....?" Brett's eyes widen, he moved from us to my dad and looked at the list.

"I don't get it.. she's human, right?" He looked at me and walked in front of me. "Hey, we're going to figure this out." I nodded my head, I saw Scott take out his phone, I looked at Brett and kissed him. A few minutes later, Der pulled up.

"They'll be okay."

"They've got claws and fangs. But they're not fighters." He looked at me, and smiled.

"That's why I called you."

"Well, try to remember I don't have claws and fangs anymore either."

"That's why he called me." Der walked over to me.

"Am I the only one still hoping this is all just a false alarm? I mean, it's possible we could wait here all night and nothing happens. Right?"

"You Okay?"

"Yeah, besides the fact I just found out that my entire life I've been a supernatural creature. Just peachy." He shook his head and kissed my head.

"You remind me of Allison." I looked at him and smiled. "You'll get through this."

"How do you know?"

"Because Allison did, and you're twice as strong." I smiled and nodded my head I leaned against Brett.

"Scott, you heard anything from Stiles or Lydia yet?"

"Lydia's still talking to Meredith. Stiles and Malia are headed to the lake house. They're trying to stop it."

"What if there is no stopping it? What if it doesn't end until we're all dead?"

"Then let's send a message. Let's make something perfectly clear to anyone with a copy of that list. It doesn't matter if they're professional assassins, hunters, or an amateur who just picked up a gun. Anyone who thinks they can hunt and kill us for money, is gonna be put on another list. Our list. They get to be a name on our dead pool." I smiled at Derek as he cocked a gun, this is my family.. I will do anything in my power to save them. Even if I die.

"I remember meeting you, but you weren't a Buddhist back then." I looked at my Da.

"And you weren't protecting werewolves. You were hunting them." I looked down.. 'Derek and Scott are monsters, Erza.' I shook my head getting Gerard out of it.

"Three things cannot long be hidden... The sun. The moon. The truth. What exactly does that mean?"

"The truth cannot stay hidden."

"I know what the saying means. What does it mean for you?"

"The truth for me is that we, my kind, are violent creatures, who eventually will not be able to control their violent impulses. The mantra helps us subdue our nature."

"But you're still violent creatures."

"Aren't we all?" I smiled at her but it went away when the alarm beeped.

"They're coming." I grabbed Brett's hand... that's when it happened. I saw gun fire.. heard gun shots. But it's like everything was in slow motion, I saw an invisible wave come off my body. The only people who weren't in slow mode was my team.

"Brett! Brett, where are you?" I turned around and saw a guy about to shoot her, but thankfully Scott handled him. I turned around and fell when phones started dinging.

"Is it over? Really over?" I felt someone helping me up, Brett.

"You Okay?"

"Did anyone feel that?"

"It was like an electric wave, was.."

"Making us stronger.."

"And everyone else. Weaker?" Everyone looked at me, I shrugged my shoulders.

"Might of been me.." Brett looked at me and picked me up bridal style. 'Did we just get mawwied?' I smiled at the memory, I let the darkness consume me.
