Naruto sighed as he ran a hand through his hair, last night he had a nightmare that he had killed Allison, and had been up trying to clear his head ever since but was now getting ready for school
Next door, Claire Radcliffe was tending to her plants, as her daughter Emily played with her skateboard, waiting for her ride to school
Claire looked to her daughter and called "Emily, remember what I said don't play with that without your helmet."
Emily nodded, as Claire went back to her plants before Emily noticed her board heading down the driveway to the Street and went after it, Claire looked down the street and saw a Chevy Tahoe coming and saw Emily running after her board "Oh my god, Emily!" Claire yelled but Emily kept running, and she began to run toward her daughter "Emily! Stop!"
Emily was in the street about to pick up her board when she saw the truck and froze before Naruto appeared and got her out of the way as the Tahoe swerved into a cement post
"Emily!" Claire yelled coming over
"You okay?" Naruto asked looking to Emily who nodded before Claire grabbed her and checked her over
"I'm okay mom." Emily assured as Claire sighed and relief and smiled before she looked to Naruto
"Thank you, Nathaniel, I don't know what I would've done.."
"Let's not think of tha-" Naruto stopped speaking as he looked over to the driver of the Tahoe, along with Claire who they saw had a gash above his eye
"Claire?" a feminine voice called causing Naruto, and Claire to look over to a van as a woman smiling asked, "Everything alright?"
'Um, yes, do you still want to go to school sweetie?" Claire asked Emily who smiled
"Yes." Emily nodded before she hugged Naruto who smiled and returned the hug
"Have fun." Naruto said as Emily got into the van and Claire and Naruto watched as they left before Naruto looked to the driver who was dabbing at his wound and he began to lose control as Claire walked up to the driver, and he quickly calmed down, before leaving as the blood was getting to him
Beacon Hills High
Naruto was now walking with Stiles, talking about his nightmare "So you killed her?"
"I don't know. I just woke up." Naruto sighed running a hand through his hair "It was like it really happened."
Naruto and Stiles walked outside to see cops surrounding a bus with the back door hanging on its last hinge and blood on the door
"I think it did." Stiles said wide-eyed
Naruto quickly turned and headed back into school, looking through the sea of students for Allison, and growing increasingly more frustrated "She's probably fine." Stiles said
"I won't know that until I see her for myself." Naruto said
"It could just be a coincidence, all right? A seriously amazing coincidence." Stiles said as Naruto growled in frustration, and turned a corner into Allison who dropped her books as relief filled Naruto drawing back his impulse to murder his way through the school
"You scared the hell outta me." Allison laughed as Naruto smiled at her
"You're okay." Naruto said relieved kneeling down to pick up her books as she did as well
"Once my heart starts beating again, yeah." Allison smiled as Naruto stood up and handed her the books before he kissed her "What was that for?"
"You just make me happy." Naruto smiled which she returned before the PA system went off
"Attention, students, this is your principal. I know you're all wondering about the incident that occurred last night to one of our buses. While the police work to determine what happened, classes will proceed as scheduled."
"Save me a seat at lunch?" Allison asked as around them students groaned in annoyance
"Yeah." Naruto smiled
Later
Chemistry Class
Naruto was sitting at his desk, trying to focus his mind, whatever the hell happened last night, was eating away at him, "Dude relax. Maybe it was animal blood on the bus. You know maybe you caught a rabbit or something." Stiles said as Naruto glared at him "It's a possibility."
Naruto sighed and shook his head before his attention stayed outside as he saw someone being stretchered to an ambulance and got up "Mr. McCall something of interest?'
"The guy being taken to an ambulance yes." Naruto said causing the other students to get up and rushed over to the window, as Naruto tried to focus his hearing and heard 5 heartbeats causing him to smile slightly as the man was alive, which was further proven when he jumped up screaming causing the other students to scream and back away, as Naruto took note of the claw scratches on the man's face
Later
Lunch
Naruto got his tray and walked to an empty table, followed by Stiles "But dreams aren't memories." Stiles said
"You mean just like werewolves don't exist?" Naruto asked causing Stiles to close his mouth as Naruto sat down and sighed "I need to figure out what the hell happened last night, and if I was there."
"How are you going to do that?" Stiles asked
"I'll think of something." Naruto frowned before his and Stiles attention went to Lydia who placed down her tray
"Think of what?" Lydia asked sitting down beside Naruto who noticed Danny, and Mary sit beside Stiles, as Allison sat beside him
"Um, what are you guys doing?" Naruto asked as Jackson walked over and sat down
"Having lunch." Lydia said
"I can see that I mean why are you over here?"
"Is it a problem, that we want to eat here?" Jackson asked
Naruto opened his mouth about to fire off an insult, but Stiles kicked him in his shin causing Naruto to look at him with a frown "Excuse him, he's a bit annoyed today after some guy almost hit Emily this morning."
"Who's Emily?" Allison asked Naruto who was giving Stiles a dirty look
'A 7-year-old girl, who lives next door to me, like a little sister." Naruto answered causing Allison to nod
"Is she okay?" Allison asked
"Yeah." Naruto nodded
"So I hear they're saying it's some type of animal attack. Probably a cougar." Danny said
"I heard mountain lion." Jackson said
"A cougar is a mountain lion." Naruto/Stiles/Lydia/Allison said causing Jackson to raise an eyebrow
"Who cares? The guy's probably some homeless tweaker who's gonna die anyway." Jackson said
"Actually, I just found out who it is." Stiles said pulling out his phone where a reporter was talking
"The Sheriff's Department won't speculate on details of the incident but confirmed the victim, Garrison Meyers, did survive the attack. Meyers was taken to a local hospital where he remains in critical condition."
"Nate, wasn't this guy a friend of your dads?" Stiles asked
"Yeah." Naruto frowned taking the phone and looking at the man's picture
"Can we talk about something slightly more fun, please? Like, oh, where are we going tomorrow night?" Lydia said as Naruto wasn't paying attention while Allison looked over "You said you and Nate were hanging out tomorrow night, right?"
Naruto looked at Lydia then to Allison, and slightly shook his head, mouthing No, which Allison found funny as she smiled and said: "Um, we were thinking of what we were gonna do."
"Well, I am not sitting home again watching Lacrosse videos, so if the four of us are hanging out, we are doing something fun."
"Lydia, you can't just invite yourself to our thing." Naruto said
"Oh right, can we hang out Allison?" Lydia asked causing Naruto eyebrow to twitch before he looked at Allison
"Please, say no." Naruto mouthed
"Yeah, I guess. Sounds fun." Allison said as Naruto groaned
"We really need to talk about your definition of fun." Naruto said as Allison poked him in the ribs with her fork
"Great, how about bowling?" Lydia asked
"Pass." Naruto said immediately causing Lydia and Jackson to look at him "Bowling is what kids and people in their mid-30's do before they have to retire to Bingo, for the rest of their lives."
"Well Nathaniel, what did you have in mind?" Lydia asked
"Go-karting." Naruto said
"There isn't a place that lets people go-kart." Jackson said
"Sure there is, a place called Andretti, just opened up 2 months ago, in San Bernardino." Naruto replied
"Your mom is going to let you drive to San Bernardino?" Jackson asked
"I brought my own car, and as long as my grades are up, and I stay out of trouble, I can do pretty much anything provided it's not against the law of course." Naruto said
"Go-karting is too masculine." Lydia complained
"Lydia, you're joining us," Naruto began as he motioned between him and Allison "on our date, if you don't want to go, that is okay. You and Jackson can do whatever it is you both do on Friday night."
Lydia looked to Jackson and frowned as LaCrosse videos were the first thing that came to mind and she sighed "What time are we leaving?"
"3 PM." Naruto said before he looked to Allison, who finished her salade, "Walk with me?"
"Aren't you going to eat?"
"Lost my appetite." Naruto said standing up, "Catch you later Stiles."
Naruto and Allison immediately walked off, as Stiles looked ready to complain as awkward silence took hold of the table and Stiles quickly got up and left to sit with a kid named Boyd
Later
Naruto had picked up Emily from school and took her to get some McDonald's, and drove slow so she could finish it before they got to her house, so they wouldn't get in trouble with Claire, upon entering Emily had gone up to do her homework as Naruto sat with Dylan, and Claire for a bit, he had compelled Dylan who was the CEO of a biotech research firm to supply him with all the blood he'd ever need before he left and did his homework and ate something,
After taking his mom dinner, Naruto had hung out for a moment before he snuck into Garrison Myers room and saw that he was asleep, looking around Naruto approached the man who woke up and saw him before Naruto saw panic and fear enter the man's eyed and quickly spoke
"Shh, relax, I'm not going to hurt you." Naruto said compelling the man, who relaxed "Tell me, did I do this to you?"
'N-no, you tried to save me." Garrison said causing Naruto to nod "The monster, with red eyes he's going to come back and finish me."
"Monster? Why would it come for you?" Naruto asked but before Garrison could answer Naruto heard a nurse coming and sucked his teeth "Forget you ever saw me last night, and here. Now go back to sleep."
Melissa walked into the room, to see Myers asleep and hummed having sworn she heard voices in here, before she walked back into the hallway, and found her son walking "Hey, I'm going to head home, but I really need to talk to you about something important."
'You didn't get that girl pregnant did you?" Melissa asked
"What? No!"
"Oh okay. Well, I'll see you when I get home."
'Perv." Naruto said kissing her cheek and walking off
Later
McCall House
Melissa was sitting on the couch, watching Naruto pace "Okay, Nate you're freaking me out, what's going on? Whatever it is you can tell me."
"Okay, um, so 2 weeks ago, Stiles dragged me to the woods to find the missing half of a dead body."
"Oh my god." Melissa sighed
"And his dad caught him, while I hid, but when I was alone, I was bitten by a large wolf." Naruto said causing Melissa to blink
"What are you okay?" Melissa asked getting up and checking him over
"Yeah, mom, I'm okay, but um it was a werewolf that bit me." Naruto said
"That's not funny." Melissa replied frowning, as Naruto blinked "You really had me worried, I thought you were being serio-"
Melissa stopped talking as Naruto's eyes turned amber yellow, and he vamped out opening his mouth showing his extended fangs
"Apparently those nightmares I've been having are in fact memories of when I was Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto said before Melissa took his face in her hands and looked him over,
"Tell me everything." Melissa said seriously
Naruto nodded and the two sat down before he grabbed her hand "Open your mind to me." Naruto said before he showed her every single detail of his life, from his first birth to his banishment
Next Day
After a short school day, Allison had come to Naruto and said her parents weren't on board with her going to San Bernardino so they had to settle for bowling, much to his minor annoyance
Currently, Naruto was at the bowling alley, looking at the basketball game when a hand was placed on his shoulder, and he turned to see Allison and Lydia "Hey." he smiled standing up and hugging his girlfriend and looking to Lydia "Lydia, so good of you to join us." he said blandly
Lydia smiled "Where's Jackson?"
"No idea." Naruto shrugged,
"Oh, there he is." Allison said pointing to Jackson who was playing an Arcade game, and Lydia walked over to him "You sure you okay with this?"
"No, I'm not. I was actually hoping that it'd be just the two of us." Naruto said
"Aw, that's sweet." Allison smiled hugging Naruto, who kissed her temple
"So shall we?" Lydia asked walking over with Jackson and the 4 walked over to a lane, and Allison began looking for a bowling ball
Naruto raised an eyebrow as he watched her "Something tells me, you take this seriously."
"I used to bowl with my dad."
"So that means your good?" Naruto asked
"Kinda have to be, my family is very competitive." Allison said
"Nothing wrong with a little competition."
"You're saying that now." Allison said as Naruto tilted his head
"Are you challenging me?" Naruto asked as Allison smiled while she found a pink bowling ball and turned to the lanes
The two watched as Jackson helped Lydia who sucked at this before Allison went and scored a strike,
"Nice." Naruto said giving her a hi-five, as Jackson scored a strike as well,
"You're up McCall." Jackson said
"I see that." Naruto replied picking up a bowling ball, and walking up, and rolled easily scoring a strike
Hospital
Melissa was on the computer researching, reincarnation, vampires, werewolves, even Hybrids, after hearing, and seeing what was happening with her son, she was glad he told her, but also kinda mad that he did, as now she the world was a bigger, stranger, and more dangerous place, then she gave it credit for, and while her son who she loved with all her heart was now part of that world, she would do her job, and just keep loving and supporting him, no matter what,
Derek was in the Hospital room, looking at Garrison before he spoke "Open your eyes." he demanded watching as after a moment Garrison opened his eyes "Look at me." Garrison slowly looked over to Derek "What do you remember?"
"Hale." Garrison said causing Derek to narrow his eyes in shock
"How do you know my name?" Derek asked
"I'm sorry." Garrison said much to Derek's confusion
"How do you know me?" Derek asked again
"I'm sorry." Garrison said before he laid his head back down as Derek watched hi.
Hallway
"Dr. Damon, telephone, please." a nurse by the name of Rose said on the PA, as Melissa placed her notebook in her bag, and got up
"Girl, I am out of here. There's a DVR at home full of unwatched TV, waiting to remind me how ridiculously single I really am." Melissa smiled, causing her friend to giggle before an alarm began to beep, and, she checked it out before her eyes widened "Rose, call a code, Room 137."
Melissa ran to Garrison's room and stopped upon entering as she saw that Garrison had died from his wounds
Bowling Alley
Jackson's eyebrow twitched, as throughout the night he got increasingly more annoyed, as Naruto, and Allison went back and forth scoring strikes, while he scored one every now and then, and Lydia just sucked
"So Jackson, how many was that?" Naruto asked
"9. In a row." Jackson gritted his teeth
Naruto turned to Allison with a smile, "I thought you hated bowling?" she asked
"Naw, I just get bored with it quickly, but my girlfriend is actually keeping up with me, so I'm very interested now. Plus, I happen to be a natural talent" Naruto smiled at Allison before his attention went to Lydia
"I could use some natural talent. You mind helping me out this time, Nate?"
"Try your best Lydia." Naruto smiled giving her a thumbs up with a cheesy smile causing her eyebrow to twitch, and Allison to giggle "Go for it. We're rooting for you!"
"Thanks for the vote of confidence." Lydia said before she moved to get a bowling ball, and Jackson walked up behind her
"Hey, I'll help." Jackson said as Lydia looked at him
"How about I just try this on my own?" Lydia said causing Jackson to sigh and go sit down
"What's up with her?" Allison asked a but annoyed that Lydia had blatantly just tried to flirt with Naruto
"She's actually a very smart girl, she just likes to hide it by acting shallow because she thinks she won't be popular anymore." Naruto said causing Allison to nod as they watched Lydia score a strike "See."
"I think I'm getting the hang of it." Lydia smiled as Jackson looked surprised
"That was sort of perfect form." Allison said
Lydia twirling a lock of hair asked: "Was it?"
Allison leaned forward motioning for Lydia to do the same 'Maybe you should stop pretending to suck just for his benefit." she said
"Trust me, I do plenty of sucking just for his benefit." Lydia replied as Allison blinked
"Wow." Allison said as she looked to Naruto who shrugged before he stood up and walked with Allison to get something you drink
The group date pretty much ended after that, with Jackson going to play pinball, and Naruto keeping Lydia, and Allison company, before he drove Allison home
"Shame we couldn't have the night to ourselves." Naruto said
"Yeah, sorry I just didn't know how to say no, to her." Allison apologized
"You're a kind soul, I won't hold it against you." Naruto said causing Allison to smile, "But next time, it'll just be the two of us."
'I can definitely get behind that." Allison said before she kissed Naruto, the two began to make out, when the porch light came on as Naruto sensed her father peeking through the window, "Better get in there."
"See you later." Naruto smiled as Allison entered the house and waved at him, and he turned and left
Naruto's House
Melissa was walking to her room when she paused as she heard a thump in Naruto's room, but Naruto wasn't back yet, so creeping to the door she peeked in to see a shadow climb through the window, and grabbed the bat "Wrong house buddy!" she yelled running forward with the bat cocked back, as Stiles yelled causing her to stop before she hurt him
"Stiles, what the hell are you doing?!" Melissa asked
"What am I doing?! God do either of you even play baseball?!" Stiles asked in return, before the light came on, as Naruto entered
"What's going on?" Naruto asked
"Can you please tell your friend to use the front door?" Melissa asked turning to Naruto
"But we lock the front door. He wouldn't be able to get in." Naruto said
"Yeah, exactly. And, by the way, do either of you care that there's a police-enforced curfew?" Melissa asked
"No." Stiles and Naruto said shrugging their shoulders
"No." Melissa nodded "AII right then. Well, you know what? That's about enough parenting for me for one night, so good night."
"Good night." Naruto said kissing her cheek and she headed out "Love you!"
"Love you too." Melissa smiled as she left
Naruto slapped Stiles's knee, and Stiles got up before he sat in a chair, as Naruto got onto his bed "What's up?"
"My dad left for the hospital 15 minutes ago. It's the bus driver. They said he succumbed to his wounds." Stiles said causing Naruto to frown
Hours Later
Hale Property
Naruto entered Derek's house and looked around "Derek. I know you in here, I can hear your heartbeat." Naruto said looking upstairs "I checked the video footage at the hospital, and you were there."
"I didn't kill the driver."
"Yeah, well you'll have to forgive me if I don't take your word for it." Naruto said with a frown as Derek came into view at the top of the steps "It's time for you to leave. Your sister is dead, animal attacks have spiked and Hunters are here, that can't be good."
"I'm not going anywhere." Derek said before he jumped down the stairs, and Naruto punched him in the gut sending him down with a grunt
"What makes you think you have a choice?" Naruto asked as his hybrid features came to life, along with his nails extending to become claws, causing Derek to blink at the features, he never seen on anyone, the black sclera, and veins were new
Quickly Derek stood up, and Naruto watched his eyes turn blue, as his brow become pronounced, and his sideburns thicken, while he grew fangs, and claws
With a snarl, Derek tackled Naruto and began slashing at him, before Naruto caught his arm, and punched Derek, in the face, before elbowing the man in the throat, and kicked him off of him sending Derek flying back through a wall, before in a blur, Naruto was on his feet, and through the hole, and kicked Derek in the face, when the man was beginning to get up, before he grabbed him by the back of his shirt, and threw him up into the ceiling, before he shoved his hand into Derek's chest, and grabbed his heart, before driving him into a wall
"Before I kill you, tell me how did you turn your eyes from red to blue?" Naruto asked
"It doesn't work like that, I didn't kill the driver, or bite you." Derek groaned as Naruto glared at him
"Your lying." Naruto said
"Only an Alpha can turn someone, Alpha's have red eyes, I'm a Beta. The one that bit you killed my sister and stole her status, I'm looking for him." Derek said
Naruto looked at Derek and after a moment released his heart and removed his hand from the man's chest
"Your apart of his pack." Derek said with a hand on his chest as it healed "It's you. Your the one he's after."
"Tch." Naruto grunted running a hand through his hair, while outside red eyes could be seen from the woods looking at the house.
