Ch.4 A Hybrid.

As I read the letter, a sense of dread and regret washed over me, I remembered her. I remembered her face, how she smelled of lilies and berries. I remembered her golden locks, which I used to love. Her face which made all the jewels appear like mere pebbles. But then I remembered the real her, how she shattered my heart. I crumbled the letter. I will finally bury my past. I will not spare her this time.

(Morning)

I got dressed, I didn't get any sleep last night. I was thinking about Alice. I got blood out of my cellar and drank the whole thing in one go. I then got in my car and looked at my dashboard, I need to get it fixed.

I drove to the school and I found Scott and Stiles in the parking lot and he looked pissed. I parked my car and got out, I was not in a mood to deal with his shit. He then came at me and said "What the hell did you do?"

I sighed and said, "I saved Allison's life and maybe yours as well."

He was confused and said, "No, don't give me that, I was looking out for you crap."

I turned to him and said, " Listen here Scott, I don't give a shit about you Scott but Allison is a friend and you would have killed her last night. And forget about me you didn't even listen to your friend who tried to warn you the same." he then became silent and I walked into the school and found someone there and it wasn't that odd that she was there but it was a surprise nonetheless.

I saw Cora, I walked up to her and asked "Wow you are now stalking me at school huh?"

She gave a condescending smile and said "Don't flatter yourself, I am here because Derek won't stop nagging me and besides I get to keep an eye on you while I am here." Then Allison came and it looked like she was with Cora, they then looked at me and Cora smiled and said "I will see you in English."

Both of them walked away and I also followed them to the next class. As I walked into the class I saw that Allison had suddenly changed the seats with Cora. I looked at her and she smiled, although I appreciate this but there is no knowing what Alice will do when she sees this, that woman is crazy.

Everything was going fine, Scott sort of made up with Allison, then as soon as the class was over, Allison took Cora to meet up with Lydia and Scott and I were stuck with Stiles.

He then said "Hey, I appreciate that you are looking out for her and me… I guess."

I said "It is okay, but I am not even going to lie, you really should not be with Allison, though."

He was confused and angry but I said "She is the daughter of a hunter."

He was confused and I was surprised that Derek didn't tell him so I said "Derek didn't tell you the history of Argents?"

He just shook his head and I said "Her family hunts wolves." He looked confused and I sighed and said "Werewolves?" Then he got it and the look on his face was priceless.

We then went to different classes and after that we went to lunch and the food was awful. Lydia, Jackson, Cora and Allison also sat with us. And Lydia asked "So Cora, when did you come back?"

She said "A few days back, I got reunited with my Brother."

Stiles then said "How did you survive the fire though?"

I sighed and Scott said "Dude?" Scott looked at him and so did everyone else but then Cora said "It is fine, everyone asks me, I was saved by my father, he… he…"

I cut her off and I said "I believe we should avoid topics, such as these." I then asked Lydia "So how do you two know each other? Childhood friends I assume?"

Cora smiled and said "More like rivals, we have been competing with each other since we were children."

But then Lydia gave a snide comment "But I do believe I am not competing with you for the thing you want anymore..." Cora gave Lydia a scowl.

We then talked a bit more and Lydia decided that we are throwing Cora a welcome home party tonight at her Lake House, and I dreaded it. A party again?

After lunch was done we completed our class and we went for practice. After the practice was done, we hit the showers and I opened my locker and found another letter with Lily but it had a bit of blood in it.

I looked around and tried to smell her but she wasn't even around. That can only mean that she had compelled someone to do this. I was now concerned for the human. Who knows what Alice is making him do.

Scott and Stiles looked at me and were confused.

Stiles asked "Oh, someone got a girlfriend." I gave him a glare and Scott came in between and he said "Calm, down man, what is wrong?"

I took a deep breath and said "It is nothing. I am sorry, excuse me"

I quickly got dressed and put the letter inside the bag and went out. I was enraged, Alice is playing games and who knows what she is going to do. I went to my car and saw Cora there. She was sitting on top of my car.

She looked at me and asked "What happened? You look pissed off."

I sighed and said "It is nothing." I was confused as to why she was there so I asked her "What are you doing here?"

She then stood up and said "I wanted to ask, you are coming to the party right?"

I smiled and said "Yes, I am coming to the party."

She nodded and said "Okay, cool then."

I looked at her and asked "Do you need a ride?"

She said "Oh, no I have my ride." She then walked up to a bike and I said "Of course you ride a bike." She smiled and took off.

I then got in my car and then I took out the letter and read it "I always loved the smell of your body, it always drove me wild, I don't know if you realized I have taken one of your underwear.

It still surprises me that you are still pretending to be human after thousands of years, I don't even know how you bear any of this. But worry not, I am here and I will save you. But until then miss me.

Yours

Alice."

I just sighed and just stared into the void. I just drove home, deciding not to think about it. When I reached home I then got dressed for the party. I wore a white t-shirt and jeans.

I went to the drawer and pulled out a plastic bag which had a herb called Vervain, it doesn't prevent humans from being compelled. It is a very scarce resource. Mostly because others just burn it at the mere sight of it.

Vervain is very toxic to most, it can also kill you, some of us take it daily in small doses to increase our resistance to it. It is very fortunate that humans don't know of it.

I then drove to Lydia's house. She had a lake house. I then drove there and pulled up and I was standing in front of the door and people were walking past me and looking at me.

Lydia came and she was wearing a very beautiful red dress, she looked stunning, she saw me and said "Come on in."

I smiled and said "Thank you, you look beautiful."

She blushed and said "Thank you." Then Jackson came from nowhere and carried her to the lake side.

I then walked in and saw Scott with Allison, then I saw Stiles in the corner, I walked up to him and asked "Why are you in the corner?"

He sighed and said "Because no one wants to dance with me."

I then got a cup and poured some beer in it and put some vervain in it and sat down next to him and said "Stiles, talking to women is mostly about confidence. If you have confidence, you can get girls."

He then chuckled and said "I need more than just confidence, I need looks."

I looked at him and said "You don't look too bad and if you want I can give you confidence?"

He scoffed and said "I Don't want your weird magic voodoo."

I smiled and said "It is not voodoo, my friend, it is a hundred percent real, everything you do is like up to you."

He then looked at me and shrugged his shoulders and said "What the hell, do it."

I then looked him in the eye and said "You are a confident man, Stiles. You can do anything."

He then said "I am confident, I can do anything." I then gave him the cup and he drank it and went to the dance floor. I then stood up and mixed the vervain in the punch.

I then looked for Scott and he was with Allison, I flagged him down, he reluctantly came and asked "What is it now, dude?"

I said "Don't use that tone with me, I have saved that sinking ship, you call a relationship."

He sighed and said "What is it?"

I said, "Get Allison to drink this." I then handed him a cup of punch with vervain, he smelled the herb and asked "What is in it?"

I sighed and said "It is called vervain, it protects humans from the supernatural." It was a bit bullshit but was technically true.

He then looked at me and said "I am not doing that."

I said "Scott, I will never do something to harm my friend, so can you please?"

He just turned me down, I swear to god the nerve on this guy. When I was trying to control myself, someone tapped on my shoulder it was Cora, she looked at me and said "It somehow feels like you are not happy to see me."

I sighed and said, "It's not you, it's Scott."

She asked "Why what happened?"

I said "I want Allison to drink this, but Scott won't budge."

She also smelled something and looked at me and I said "It is not some shady stuff, it actually protects humans from compulsion."

She looked confused and said "What is compulsion?"

I explained what it was and she asked "Can you do that to me?"

I said "No, it doesn't work on werewolves."

She then said "Give me the cup, I get it done."

After that Cora took the cup and then went to Allison and then they talked some and then they moved to the bathroom and after a few moments, Cora came with an empty cup.

I asked "Did you do it?"

She looked at me and said "It hurts that you are doubting my capabilities."

I put on a smile and said "Not at all, I believed in you with all my heart."

She then asked "Can I ask why are you trying to protect like everyone, is something wrong?"

I smiled and said "Everything is fine." She then nodded and grabbed my hand and took me to the dance floor. I looked at her and thought, is she warming up to me?

We started to dance, she came close to me and started to move, our bodies were so close to each other, I could hear her heart, I could smell her, the warmth of her body. We danced like no one else was there, it was like we were encapsulated.

She then said to me "You want to go somewhere quiet?"

I nodded and she lead me outside, on the way she grabbed beers and we were out of the house and were sitting on the dock, she opened the beers and gave one to me.

I said "Thank you."

She then smiled and said "Hey can I ask you something?"

I nodded and she said "Why is it that you don't tell me what you are?"

I said "Well, what I am is pretty weird, even if I tell you, you may not believe me."

She then looked at me and smiled and said "Try me?"

I then looked at her and she nodded and I said "Alright, but first what do you think I am?"

She said "I don't know a very powerful Alpha?"

I smiled and said "I am a Hybrid."
