Chapter Three:
Stiles stared at Andria who sat about three desks to the left away from him and Scott. He leaned over while the teacher was in the middle of the lecture; he tapped on Scott's shoulder "Did you notice that Andria only wears long sleeves? Or that she's always wearing a jacket or something that covers her arms?"
Scott looked back at him with a somewhat creeped out expression, "You're the only person who would question that." He commented as saw Stiles shrug in response as he turned to look back at Andria who was in the middle of sharing her copy of notes with Jackson, "Besides, maybe she gets cold easily or doesn't like getting tanned?" he replied as Stiles shrugged his shoulders and lifted his eyebrows in understanding as though he was agreeing with him.
"But the weather here is almost always cloudy and not much sun so why would she be worrying about getting tanned?" Stiles asked as Scott looked back at him with an annoyed expression, Stiles asked way too many questions.
"Well, maybe she doesn't like the cold?" Scott answered as Stiles nodded his head in agreement he probably was making something out of nothing.
"Andria, why don't you answer the next question on the board." The teacher called as they watched her lift her head obviously not that interested but sighed and muttered a simple, "I guess", as she stood and made her way to the board leaving a chucking Jackson at her desk.
Stiles and Scott's eyes did not leave her as she worked on the problem, right when she was about to finish the problem she realized she made a mistake and reached for the eraser to correct it. Her sleeve had been pushed up on her left hand as Scott saw a black lining on the front of her hand near her thumb. After a few minutes of wondering what it was he settled on the idea that it must have been a tattoo and because she was trying to stay low profile at school that's why she always wore something that concealed her arms.
Andria decided that she would eat lunch with Allison today, maybe it was something she needed after the recent mission she was given. She was walking toward one of the lunch tables outside of the school that was designated for lunches, she saw Allison and called her to see her gesture to come and sit with her.
Just as she was about to Stiles made a quick move to stand in front of her, he gave her a smile that she returned with one of her own. Then as she took a step to the left, he stepped to his right to block her and this went on for about three more times. She stopped and stared at Stiles, "Alright, what is it Stiles?" she asked as Stiles gave her a grin as he looked at her arm as though examining it.
"Or we could just stand here while you awkwardly stare at my arm?" she offered as Stiles looked at her as though he was pulled out of thought but he shook his head.
"I'd say we know each other pretty well right Andria?" he stated as she looked at him and shrugged her shoulders, she didn't hate Stiles she just didn't know him well enough.
"I guess." She replied as Stiles gave her a nervous smile as he continued to talk with her.
"I mean we met each other that day at the precinct, you're cousins with my best friend's gir..ex-girlfriend." He corrected himself as she smiled inside knowing that it was a lie, "You know about Scott's problem, you're the granddaughter of the head of all hunters, you're a pretty cool girl, and we both pity Jackson." He threw out as a last resort as Andria raised her eyebrow but then pushed them together as though thinking of something.
She sighed, "Most of those are true, but I don't see your point." She said as Stiles clapped his hands together as she watched not interested at all.
"Alright, I'll cut the small talk- what's up with the arm?" he asked completely interested with knowing what she hid underneath all the longs sleeves. "Did you have to get it exchanged for a robotic one when a werewolf ripped it off during a fight? Or you failed to do something and you had to cut it off yourself as punishment? Maybe it has all sorts of scars from when you trained with other hunters and a few bites from werewolves." He began to rumble on and on as Andria put her hand up to signal for him to stop assuming as she pinched the bridge of her nose with her index finger and thumb.
"All very bizarre suggestions but no." she replied as she slowly pulled up her sleeve to show Stiles that it was nothing more than a sleeve of a tattoo. "It's just a tattoo Stiles Stilinski." She added as she saw his face hold a small look of disappointment as she looked at him waiting for him to answer.
He sighed, "That's it?" he questioned obviously disappointed it was just a tattoo, "You're a werewolf hunter and that's it?' he finished as she looked at him and shrugged her shoulders, she really didn't care about labels- she got the tattoo because she felt like she was rebelling and it made her feel slightly dangerous in some aspect.
"If that's it, can I go eat now?" she asked as Stiles looked at her and turned his head over to where she was headed and put his arm out gesturing the whole ladies first. "Well, nice seeing you Stiles." She finished as she left him there but didn't turn before seeing him talking to himself saying 'Really? That's it? – So lame.' She guessed he was referring to her tattoo; she just smiled and walked towards Allison.
When she sat down Allison placed her phone on the table in front of Andria and was giving her a scolding look, "I asked Jackson about last night." She heard Allison say as her head shot up trying not to be too alarmed by her statement.
"Oh, and?" Andria questioned wanting to know if Jackson had sold her out because she completely forgot she had used him as an excuse.
"He said he had a lot of fun…" Allison stated as Andria sighed in relief but was worried if Jackson would bring it up later on, "I just think you should know, you need to be careful around Jackson…" she paused as she looked over at Andria who had an eyebrow raised not completely understanding her caution, "It's just that Jackson can be very dangerous sometimes and I wouldn't want you to get caught up in his kind of trouble." She finished as Andria looked at her and gave her a grin but nodded showing she got what she was saying.
"Allison, did you forget? I have over ten years of combat experience and training…heck, I may be pretty small but I can hold my own against a guy, so quit worrying." She said as she smiled up at the brunette not completely aware why Allison was so concerned for her.
But it wasn't like Allison could just up and tell her that Jackson was the Kanima. It wasn't something you just disclose to anyone, they hadn't even told Lydia and maybe Derek figured it out on this own but she wasn't sure he even knew. No one was aware how to handle the situation and she didn't need Andria to bring in other hunters otherwise Jackson might actually wind up dead.
Later that day; after school
When Stiles and Scott were making their way to Stiles' car so that they could go home they noticed a familiar blonde leaning against the hood of the car looking displeased as usual.
She looked over at Stiles when she saw them walk in front of her, "I didn't know that bitch was an Argent." She commented as both Stiles and Scott looked over to Andria who was standing with Allison talking seriously about something.
"You've met her before?" Stiles asked as Erica looked over to him with a glare she seemed like she was about to rip his throat out because she couldn't get to Andria.
"Little cheating bitch, pulled a fast one on me." She spat back at Stiles obviously angry about Andria, Stiles looked over at her and put his hands up to look like he was innocent.
He gave a small scoff, "That's not my business that's between hunters and werewolves, and last time I checked I wasn't either of those two so later." He replied as he began to move away from her as she threw a hand out and pushed him roughly against the car so he wouldn't move.
She glanced over to Stiles then looked at Scott and smiled, "Derek wants to see you, he said something about planning, capturing, and killing?" she ended sarcastically as Scott gave her a glare not in the mood to be played around with. Scott simply nodded not wanting to make a big deal as Erica looked over to Stiles and grinned, "And you can bring your boyfriend too." She added as Stiles dropped his head and waited for her to move so that he could get into his car.
Scott looked back at Allison and Andria who were still talking and he was curious to know what it was about.
"Allison, this isn't your business alright?" Andria stated as Allison looked at her with a concerned expression as Andria just glared, she hated the whole sympathy and empathy crap people used.
Allison sighed, "Well, I'm worried about you." She said as Andria just stared at her, "You don't have to be, I'm fine." She replied as Allison nodded, "I know you are but you need to be careful, there are lots of dangerous things in this town." She finished as Andria rolled her eyes which began to annoy Allison.
"Which would be what Allison?" she asked curious to know what was so scary, "Werewolves? Dealt with their kind before." She replied as Allison just stared with an uneasy posture, "Argents? Lived with them my whole life." She added smiling at her, "And Derek is hardly dangerous." She finished as Allison was about to nod until she heard Derek's name being brought into the conversation.
"Wait…" Allison said as Andria looked at her with a lifted eyebrow, "Derek…You've met Derek?" she asked as Andria glanced at her and then quickly looked away not wanting to say anything more. It wasn't until Allison began to shake her by her shoulders that she finally caught Andria's attention.
"He's the reason I'm here." She answered as Allison watched her being to get more uneasy by the second, "Gerard, doesn't just call me…not like this." She continued as she looked up at Allison with a slightly frightened look in her eyes, "I can track, not like any other hunter they've ever seen but if Gerard wants me to track a werewolf for him that means it's a top notch job…" she paused as she looked to see Allison's attention was fully on her,
"He means to torture Allison, this isn't going to be a fast death, he wants blood…" she looked away from her, "You've never seen what he's done to wolves before, if Gerard wants Derek, he means for me to find him." She finished as Allison looked at her putting a hand on her shoulder to give her some support.
Allison held one of her most caring looks in her eyes, "But you can't…Derek's pretty evil, he is, but I'm not sure he deserves that kind of punishment." She tried to get through to Andria who just pulled away from her touch looking angry and frustrated at the brunette.
"You make it sound so easy!" Andria tried so hard not to shout at her, "This is my life Allison, hunting is what I've always done- this family is all I've ever known. You don't have to hunt…" she said as Allison looked at her slightly hurt and guilty because she had been rebelling the whole hunting thing since they introduced it to her, "But me…" she paused as she stared at Allison,
"This scar," she said as she pulled her shirt up to view her stomach and just above her bellybutton up to the middle of her abdominal section was three large gashes that seemed to have left scars, "I got when I didn't know anything about werewolves, but just because I lived with Kate Argent- a hunter, they assumed I was one and gave me this." She stopped put down her shirt as Allison put down the hand she lifted to cover her mouth in shock.
Allison looked at her, "But you don't have to do what Gerard tells you to do." Allison said rationally as Andria stared up at her like she had three heads then with a look of anger.
"I owe them my life Allison." Andria replied as Allison looked at her with a concerned face, "They gave me a choice and I chose to learn the ways of hunting." She added as Allison gave her a look like she was crazy as she threw her hands up.
"Why would you choose this?" she asked not understanding Andria's choice at all.
"Why?" Andria cried as she took a step away from Allison, "Because I didn't want to be that scared ever again, I didn't want to be helpless against anything…" she stared as Allison with a hurt look, "While I laid there, my blood covering my whole body, and as much as I wanted I couldn't even scream for help. All I could do was lay there helpless." She paused as though it were memories she would rather not talk about, "I didn't want to feel weak anymore." She finished as she turned walking away from Allison leaving her alone in the parking lot of Beacon Hills High School.
Maybe she was wrong about Allison or maybe it was just her hurt feelings talking or her jealousy. She was jealous that Allison went against the hunters while she became one, jealous that Allison made things seem okay when they really weren't, jealous that she had to grow up and protect herself because no one else would.
She was jealous that she couldn't be Allison Argent.
"I said I would help you Derek, it didn't mean that you could just call me whenever you want to." Scott said as the alpha glared up at him and his whining attitude he decided to act on yet again.
"Not all of us have time to play house with Argents." Derek replied as Scott shot a nasty look at him which amused the alpha because he just hit the soft spot.
Scott kept his glare locked on Derek, "I didn't come here to insult you." Scott stated as Derek looked at him and nodded it was enough of their little teasing game.
Derek sat down looking up at Scott, "If Jackson is the Kanima and you don't want me to kill him then what brilliant idea did you come up with to prevent that from happening?" Derek asked as Scott looked at him then to Stiles who was standing beside Erica and Isaac who simply shrugged his shoulders and gave his best friend a simple- I don't know response.
"Well, we haven't actually figured out the plan yet." Scott replied as Derek looked over to him and began to grit his teeth, something he usually did when he was angry or annoyed.
"And are we just supposed to wait around for him to attack again." Derek questioned as everyone felt Erica become tense to the suggestion, she had gone through it twice and would hate to go another time around.
Scott threw a glare back at Derek, "It's not like you have any bright ideas just shooting out do you?" he questioned as Derek felt like punching him in the face, "We're all running blind here and you can't expect me to just come up with something that will solve all our problems." He explained as Stiles began to nod in agreement with his best friend it wasn't like they could just make Jackson go away and that would solve everything.
"The longer we wait the strong he gets." Derek replied as Scott looked up at him for he had shot up to his feet now, "Even the Argents are stocking up, if we aren't prepared for something- we're already on the losing side." he added as Stiles stopped and looked around the place and then back to Derek who was a bit uneasy at the thought of Argents and Jackson.
He figured it out, "You've meet Andria before haven't you?" he asked as Derek glanced over to him and threw him a dirty look.
"Why are you even talking?" Derek asked as Stiles was tempted to show him his middle finger but decided against it.
"You said the Argents are stocking up that must mean you've met Andria then." Stiles concluded as Derek looked at him then to Erica and back to Stiles.
Derek shrugged, "If that's her name- then yes I have." He said as Stiles looked at Erica and then to Scott if Andria found out they were connected would she sell them out to the hunters he began to wonder.
"She knows about me." Scott added as Derek looked at him a bit taking off by his statement as he looked over to Stiles.
"Does she know that we're working together?" Derek questioned as Stiles shrugged his shoulders and looked around the place again.
"She isn't that bad though, she never mentioned anything about other hunters knowing about Scott…" Stiles paused as he looked at the alpha, "She never mentioned you either." He added as Derek looked away trying to figure out what exactly this certain hunter had on her mind.
'I pity you Derek Hale'.
He heard her voice repeat in his head as he slammed his fist on the table in front of him, "No." he growled, he fell under the spell of one Argent he wouldn't be played by another, "We can't trust her." He gritted out not hiding the fact that he was obviously irritated at the current issue at hand.
"She hasn't exactly sided with the Argents Derek." Scott noted as Derek glanced at him shooting him death glares while taking slow breaths to prevent himself from strangling Scott.
"Sided with the Argents?" Derek questioned as he looked at Stiles and then to Scott, "Do you hear yourself? She's an Argent, there isn't any siding…we all know whose side she's playing on." Derek replied as Stiles threw his hands up in the air clearly annoyed with the alpha's stubbornness. "We can't trust her, just like we can't trust your girlfriend either." He added as Scott's head shot up as he threw Derek a nasty look as he bared his fangs to the alpha.
"Leave Allison out of this!" he shouted wanting to maim the wolf in front of him. "Just because she's an Argent doesn't mean she's Kate!" Scott threw out trying to make Derek understand that Allison was definitely not her psycho, werewolf torturing auntie.
Before anyone could say another word Derek let out a low growl, made a fast move and slammed Scott against the concrete wall leaving a dent the size of his body in his place. "I'm trying to stop you from making the mistake I made!" Derek growled to Scott as everyone watched not knowing what to do especially in this sort of situation.
"I'm not going to make any mistake because I'm not you!" Scott threw back as Derek leaned away from him looking at him with a slightly annoyed expression, because as much as he'd hate to admit it Scott wasn't him, Scott was probably even strong then he was at that age, Scott fell in love with the right Argent while Derek trusted someone he hardly knew, but even he knew that trusting Argents wasn't a good thing.
"Point taken." Derek replied as he took his hands off of Scott and moved away not wanting to cause him anymore discomfort. After he did the entire room began to get crushed by the awkwardness and tension from the two werewolves.
Stiles looked around and nodded, "Well this is awkward." He stated obviously as Scott threw him a look and he shrugged it off not wanting to be part of his argument with Derek.
"We'll meet again when we have a plan of what to do." Derek said as he walked away from the werewolves needing to be somewhere up high to think of all the issues on his mind. Before he was too far away he stopped, "You can leave." He finished as he continued to walk away from them as Stiles made his way to stand beside Scott.
Stiles smacked his head, "That was real smart buddy- piss off an almost completely insane werewolf who could probably rip our throats out with his teeth by bringing up his worst mistake." He commented as Scott's shoulders tensed up, he forgot about the whole situation and was angry so just said what he felt like. But even after a while he began to regret what he said because it was his anger that might have brought back unpleasant memories for Derek.
Andria needed to get her mind off of things before she even knew it she was in the forest shooting at the bark of trees or throwing knives at a target she had made. She made a fast run for the tree shooting the bark of a tree far to her left as she ran up the stem of the tree about three feet, made a flip, and landed on her feet.
She slowly stood a trail of sweat falling down her face down her chest, but it still didn't help, she was just so angry for some reason. She threw her hands up and screamed out in frustration as loud as her lungs would let her. She fell to her knees as she stopped screaming she just couldn't remember why she was doing it. Allison had gotten through to her but all in the wrong ways, because now Andria was confused and she didn't have her head on right.
"Practicing late are we?" she heard a stern old voice say as she widened her eyes and shot up to her feet turning hoping it wasn't who she thought it was.
But she was quickly disappointed when she saw the old man she had worked nearly her whole life to impress, "I might have gotten a little rusty…" Andria replied as Gerard took a look around at all the targets on the bark of the trees all placed in different angles and all of them were hit in the bulls eye.
"Rusty?" he questioned her with a small chuckle which began to make her uneasy, "I don't think that's possible." He replied as Andria nodded giving him a fake smile hoping that he would just leave her whole body feeling the discomfort the old man brought to her.
"You can never be too sure." She stated as Gerard nodded his head smiling at her, that creepy smile sent chills down her spine.
"Now, that is a very sensible saying, just like human beings, you can never be too sure of their loyalty to their own kind." He commented as Andria looked up at him his eyes narrowing as she watched with a careful eye as well, "You do know, I didn't order you to come here to play dress up and run around like a high school student don't you Andria?" he asked as she looked at him and nodded because she was slightly afraid of what this man was capable of doing.
"You see, my granddaughter is being a bit of a wild one. She's just like her father in this time of her life; he was just as trouble making as she is now. But you see even his revolt came to an end as will Allison's at one point. It runs through her veins just as it runs through yours." He replied as Andria looked at him then to the targets around her, "You don't have to be my blood to thirst for justice. This is who you are Andria; this is who Allison will be in just a matter of time." He stated as she stared at him not exactly sure how she should feel about his speech but still uncomfortable by his presence.
"Buck up, being a hunter isn't a bad thing." He said as Andria looked at him and gave him a weak smile as she nodded in agreement, "Just don't forget who your enemies are Andria. You wouldn't want to provoke the wrong kind." He finished in a tone of dead seriousness as she slowly nodded as he gave her one of his creepy smiles and disappeared before she could do anything else.
He left her in the dark forest as she began to contemplate all the things he said. He was right; she couldn't just throw everything down for Derek or Scott, everything she worked for. They weren't her problem, she shouldn't be helping them, she was a hunter, a werewolf hunter to be exact, and they were things she should just kill.
But she couldn't, before it was pretty easy, it didn't matter how she felt. She did everything by the code, if they harmed an innocent life they were to be hunted, but she didn't hurt children or wolves that mined their own business. But this time, she just couldn't make herself intentionally hurt these werewolves.
While she was having a battle within her mind she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket which pulled her out of her thoughts. She saw the contact name 'Whittemore, Jackson', and decide to answer his call.
"Hello?" she asked as she heard music being played in the background.
"Help me." The voice said as she felt her heart beat from a small scary he caused her.
"Excuse me?" she questioned barely hearing his voice through the loud booms of music from the speaker.
"Danny dragged me to this club, thing is it's a gay club…" he paused not sure how she was going to react as he heard her laughing on the other side of the phone.
"Haha, so what's wrong with that?" she questioned as she heard him let out a huff, "Danny's your best friend, he needs you tonight, even if it means you got to suck up your straightness and go into a gay bar." She just couldn't keep a serious tone as she laughed again hearing Jackson's annoyance on the other side of the phone. "Besides haven't you gone to one before with him?" she added as Jackson sighed very irritated.
"No, and I thought I could do this but I can't." he said as Andria shook her head trying her hardest not to laugh at him again.
"And you are calling me because?" she questioned as Jackson stopped and began to wonder why he did call her at first.
"Well, maybe we could meet somewhere, and you can try and convince me to take you on a date." He said smugly as he heard Andria laugh again to his comment which brought a smile to his face as he stood outside the club he was forced to come to.
"That does sound pretty exciting." She replied sarcastically as it was Jackson's turn to laugh at her attempt to be excited.
"We'll even get something to eat, my treat." He offered as Andria stopped and her eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. Oh boy did she love food.
"Well why didn't you say that before?" she asked but laughed, "I'll meet you at the café down the street from the school." She stated as Jackson nodded and put a mental note in his head before he could forget.
"See you there." He finished as Andria replied with a small giggle and the call ended both teenagers smiling.
Andria held her phone as she took one more look around the forest that became her knew training grounds. She was still running away from her duties as a hunter and her life as an Argent and really what was one more night.
"No, I always wished I had a brother though." She said as Jackson and she were sitting by a window in the small café.
Jackson shook his head as he frowned, "Siblings suck, they're always fighting for attention, comparing, I think my life is better off without any." He replied as Andria looked at him and gave a sad smile as she took a bite from the pastry she ordered.
"It's just that it gets lonely sometimes being an only child." She said sorrowfully as Jackson watched the smallest gleam of sadness in her eyes.
Before she could add onto what she was saying Jackson wanted to change the subject talking about his feelings weren't his thing. "I didn't think you'd actually order that much." He stated as he looked at all the delicious looking pastries, sweets, and small appetizers she had in front of her. "You're really going to finish all of that?" he asked as she looked up at him to see the only thing in front of him was a cup of black coffee and her cheeks went red with embarrassment.
"I know it might be too much, haha, I just love food." She said as he nodded smiling at her, "Besides, your wallet must be tired of being used by bitchy, materialistic, rich girls who only want the expensive stuff. I on the other hand you don't need to worry about, if I date you it's for the food." She replied as he lifted his eyebrow smirking at her as she laughed when he looked at her and said, "Oh, just the food?" with an amused expression as she smirked up at him, "Definitely the food." She finished nodding to put emphasis on her phrase.
"Well, that's a sure boost of confidence- thank you." He said sarcastically as Andria smiled at him mouthing 'you're welcome' repeatedly.
Andria was busy working on her third pastry when she looked up to see Jackson staring up at her, "What?" she asked as she began to hide her mouth, "I have something on my mouth don't I?" she questioned as Jackson nodded his head to stop her from freaking out then she stopped and raised her eyebrow and mouthed 'then what?'
"It's just being around you isn't like other girls, you don't want anything from me." He replied as Andria stopped to look at him and gave him a kind smile.
Then she gave a small laugh, "Maybe then you should be around me more often." She said as Jackson gave her one of his handsome smiles and a small nod.
Then were enjoying each other's company but no one could expect what happened next. Jackson began to feel constricted like his chest was being pulled together being tied by large ropes, he somewhat recognized this feeling, it was pretty familiar. He felt like he could no longer speak another sign that he would soon become the monster he didn't know people were hunting.
Jackson looked over to see Andria enjoying her next bite, he glanced underneath the table to see his right hand had already been transforming into blue scales.
"I need to go." Jackson gritted out as Andria looked over to him to see that he was looking very uncomfortable. He glanced down to see part of his hand was scaly and blue.
Andria put down her fork on the plate, "Jackson are you alright?" she was very concerned about the guy at the moment.
"Yeah, just need to go." He forced out as Andria pushed the plates away from her, "Alright, will you be alright getting to your car?" she asked as he nodded and quickly pushed out the chair, tossing money on the table to pay for their meal and exited the door before she could say anything else.
"Good night then." She whispered looking at his retreating body as he entered his car and sped out the road leaving Andria there very confused about what just happened.
Allison was calling Andria because she hadn't heard from her since their talking in the school parking lot and she was beginning to get very worried. She waited for her to answer her phone but she got the same voice mail every time.
'Don't leave a message, just hang up the phone.'
She just couldn't leave this alone anymore, she was done with being in the dark about everything, and she wanted to know what everyone else knew. She just needed to learn from someone she could trust and that someone had to be Andria.
She was home alone at the moment, her mother, father, and grandfather nowhere to be found. She knew this was partly her fault, she decided to fight learning her family's ways so there was no need to let her in on everything. She was having a hard time with Scott; they were just no communicating at the moment.
While she was in deep thought she heard creaking sounds from down stairs wanting to find out what it was she began to investigate going down stairs with her crossbow in one hand. She took steps down the stairs slowly trying not to make any sound in case she would spook the unknown intruder. She heard the sound of things being moved around and she made her way down the last step pointing the crossbow in the direction of the suspicious sounds.
She put her finger on the trigger and pushed it releasing the arrow that was in the holder and sent it flying in the direction.
Andria had been looking for a certain type of bullet that her uncle would usually put in the cabinet in the living room. She assumed no one was home because there were no cars and all the lights were off. In the middle of searching for something she heard the sound of a crossbow being shot as she didn't take time to turn back but instead ducked and quickly rolled out of the arrow's way.
When she rolled onto her knees she pulled out her handgun pointing it at the direction in which the arrow was shot. She was carefully eyeing the area when she saw a familiar brunette walking into the light shining from the moon. She noticed that she still had her gun out and pulled it away placing it back into her gun holder on her left side of her waist.
"Not that bad a shot." She commented as Allison slowly placed her crossbow on the coffee table in the living room as she looked at Andria.
"Sorry." she put out as Andria just shrugged it off there wasn't much she could blame Allison for; she was in fact the one being the suspicious character.
Andria stood walking from her current position to sit on the couch, "Allison about what I said in the parking lot…" she began as the brunette stopped her by putting her hand up to gesture her to let her speak.
"I should have understood you more, it's just a lot to take in you know?" she questioned as Andria nodded, "But I see what you meant in the whole not wanting to feel weak anymore…" Andria's head shot up as she stared at Allison wondering what made it come up again.
"Allison, I chose this, I can't go back, and even if I could I don't think I would change my decision." She said honestly not wanting to hide how she felt to her supposed cousin. "No." she said seriously, "I would make the same choice." She said surely to the brunette.
Allison nodded as she took a seat directly in front of Andria, "I know and I get it. That's why I came to ask you to teach me." She stated as Andria's head lifted her eyebrow also lifted questioning what she meant by that. When Andria kept silent Allison decided that meant for her to continue, "Teach me everything you know, how you fight, how you shoot, how you dodge, how you defend yourself." She explained as Andria shook her head, there was no possible way that she would accept being a hunter but maybe it wasn't that, maybe Allison just wanted to learn to protect herself.
"I'm not some goody-goody guru Allison." Andria replied as Allison looked at her with a serious face as Andria glanced at her and nodded understanding her determination, "If you want to learn, there's no quitting, because once I start you're going to be taught everything. So if you want to back down you better do it now."
Allison shook her head, "No, I want to." She replied as Andria looked at her and nodded as she stood and walked began to walk up to her current room.
"Alright then." She finished as she left Allison there sitting in the dark alone. Andria knew if Allison wanted to be tough, she needed to face the darkness- on her own. Just like she was taught, not to depend on anyone, that you needed to be strong enough not to let anybody taking advantage of you.
Sorry, I just added breaks to divide the parts I'm sorry I didn't realize it with the past chapters, but I hoped you like this chapter & please review, I appreciate it lots.
