Animagus

Chapter Seventeen: Ravens

I was in the woods, eating a deer when I heard the screeching of car tires and the familiar screams of two girls. I took off running towards the sound, and the sudden smell of blood. When I arrived at the scene, I saw a large deer went through Lydia's windshield. Lydia and Allison were freaking out, and Scott and Stiles showed up moments later. I stayed far back in the tree lines for many reasons. One, I'm covered in blood, and two, the only people who know who I truly am are the boys.

Knowing that the girls are now safe in the boy's hands, I went home when I had a feeling that something was coming. With having to deal with Peter, the feelings with Derek, the Argents, and the anger, I didn't want anything else in my life.

-School-

Sam and I were talking by my locker, a strong dominant smell caught our attention.

"Do you smell that?" I asked him.

He nodded, "What is that?"

I looked towards the entrance of the school, I saw two twins enter, wearing leather jackets.
My heart started to beat fast when I finally figured out that scent... Alpha.

I motioned my head towards them, Sam turned and stared them down. One of them looked at Lydia as he walked by and the other one stared at me. Sam stepped in front of me and growled under his breath, those boys just smirked. I knew that they weren't going to get near me without going through Sam first.

The bell rang, we raced to class, I had English with Stiles, Lydia, Allison, and Scott. When I sat down, everyone's phone went off which was odd. When we looked at it, we realized our teacher, Ms. Blake had messaged us a passage from the first book we're going to be reading.

"The offing was barred by a black bank of clouds and the tranquil waterway, leading to the uttermost ends of the earth, flowed somber under an overcast sky, seemed to lead into the heart of an immense darkness." Ms. Blake recited, "This is the last line to the first book we are going to read. It is also the last text you will receive in this class. Phones off, everyone."

We all turned our phones off as instructed, Stiles and Lydia were having a conversation when something hit the window. We all slowly looked towards the window, when a thousand or more ravens started throwing themselves toward the window. Blood splattered all over, when the glass broke and they came flying in, Ms. Blake shouted, "Get down, everyone! Get down! Down!"

Some were biting people, others clawed. I thought this was my brothers doing, but this was something different. My brother wouldn't harm innocent people and especially me. Stiles covered Lydia with his body, I covered Allison because Scott was excused.

Everyone was shaken up, Stiles goes to talk to Ms. Blake, as he picks a feather out of her hair. Mr. Argent appears, talking to Allison. Sam came rushing in, "What the hell happened?" he asked worriedly, glancing around at all the dead ravens.

"Did you do this?" I whispery-asked.

"No. What makes you think I would do this?"

"I-I don't know. You're the only person I know that is associated with ravens." I said, unsure of another solution.

I noticed Mr. Argent, Chris was looking at me, so I stopped talking when Stilinski approached him and started a conversation. My wolf instructed my brother to listen to their conversation.

"Mr. Argent? You wouldn't have any insight into this, would you?" Stilinski asked.

Argent seemed alarmed, "Me?"

"Yeah, all this bizarre animal behavior, its... You must have seen something like this before, right?"

Argent became defensive, "I'm not sure why I would, or why you would think I would..."

"I'm sorry. I-I could've sworn I overheard my son talking about how you were an experienced hunter..."

Argent smirked, "Ah, right. Well, not anymore."

Stilinski looked at Allison, "You all right?"

Allison glanced over at me, we smiled at each other before she nodded at him, "Yeah."

-Hale House-

Stiles and I rode to Derek's, we were meeting Scott there. When we walked in Scott was sitting backward in a chair, Derek was examining his arm. Stiles began to freak when Derek pulled out a blow torch.

"Oh, wow. That's a-that's a lot for me. So, I'm going to take that as my cue, I'm just going to wait outside-" Stiles went to leave when Derek grabbed him.

"Nope. You can help hold him down."

Stiles gagged, "Oh, my God..."

As Derek was torching Scott's arm, Stiles almost lost his grip, "Hold him!" Derek ordered. I came up from behind Stiles, placing my hands on Scott's broad shoulders, and held him down. All that was heard after was the blood-curdling screams of Scott.

"AHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHH!"

Once Scott finally got his tattoo and it was permanent this time, Stiles, Scott, and I were about to leave. When Scott stopped at the door, "Why'd you paint the door?"

"Go home, Scott," Derek said.

Scott looked on the other side, "And why only one side?"

"Scott..."

Scott turned to Stiles and me, "The birds at the school, and the deer last night... just like the night, I got trampled by the deer when I got bit by the Alpha. How many are there?"

Derek sighed, "A pack of them. An Alpha Pack."

Stiles was shocked, "All of them? How does that even work?"

"I hear there's some kind of a leader... he's called Deucalion. We know they have Boyd and Erica. Peter, Isaac, and I have been looking for them for the last four months." Derek informed.

"Let's say you find them-how do you deal with an Alpha pack?" Scott asked.

Derek looked over at me, "With all the help I can get."

Isaac shot up, he groggily asked, "Where is she? Where's the girl?"

"What girl, Isaac?" I asked.

"The girl on the motorcycle."

We all looked at him confused, but when I heard about the Alpha pack I was concerned. We have two of them in school, and I don't know how many more there are, but would my family be able to survive against an Alpha pack. Since my brother is my Alpha, he should know what's coming.
