Chapter 1: The Bite
Chapter Text
On a dark full moon night in the forest of Graves Field, The Graves Field police pull up with their K-9 units as well as their regular troops coming out of their cars searching for something but what? well we are about to find out!
______________________
We shall start off this wonderful story about two siblings and their friends whose lives will change for better or for worse as we take a look inside this beautiful family home into a shared bedroom with our two Siblings Meet Lucia And Luz Noceda whose lives are about to change on this very night. Luz The happy fun outgoing lovable nerd and her role model/ Delinquent sister Lucia are getting ready for their first day back at school tomorrow. Exciting, right?
"Luz I hope you have your gear ready for tryouts tomorrow. Make sure you have everything for classes and Practice. I'm not letting you borrow shit from me." Lucia says while doing a one-armed pull-up on the bar in their doorway. "yeah yeah I'm almost done just fixing my glove and putting some tape on my bat" Luz responded to her older sister as she was doing what she said she was doing putting those last touches on her bat and fitting her catching glove, Lucia started to brush her teeth once she was finished with her exercise, she had put some music in the background as they were getting ready for a hellish day. Luz Finished what she was doing and let out a sigh, a loud bang was heard right after she did such a thing and she jumped out of her skin. "Lucia, did you hear that?" Luz asked, a bit frightened. "Que? Hear what?" Another loud bang was heard coming from the ceiling. "that!" Lucia Sighs as she grabs her emergency bat from the corner and heads out to the porch. Luz, not wanting to be left behind, grabbed her bat as well and followed her sister.
The sisters went out on the porch rather quietly and got ready to bonk the first thing that popped out in front of them, which unfortunately didn't happen because the noise makers were their friends Salix and Willow as they hung upside down from the little porch roof, Which Luz started to scream at them because she was startled. "Willow?! Salix! What the hell are you guys doing?! And why are you hanging from there?" Lucia shouted a bit pissed off at their childhood friends. "hey you guys didn't answer your phones," Salix said as she smirked. "and before you ask, Yes we know how late it is, and please tell me you guys weren't about to hit us with a bat," Willow said "I so want to punch you two in the face," Lucia said as Luz scoffed at them. "We thought you two were robbers, like what the hell!" The park siblings laughed at that. "Okay that's fair," Salix said "But you're not going to believe this," Willow shouted excitedly as the Noceda siblings looked at each other and then at their friends "Our papa left like 20 minutes ago, apparently dispatch called and they're bringing every officer from Graves Field police department and even the state police," Willow explained what was up to them as she got down from where she was "Why?" Luz asked with her head tilted. Salix Smiles "Two joggers found a dead body in the woods." The eldest followed after the youngest and dropped down as well. "a dead body?!" Luz asked but got slapped upside her head. "Ow!" Luz rubbed the back of her head with a pout. "No, a body of water, of course, a dead body dumb ass! But was it a murder?" Lucia said crossing her arms shaking her head. The Park Siblings shrug their shoulders. "No one knows, yet, just a girl probably in their 20's" They both said at the same time, Lucia furrowed her brows while Luz looked appalled, "Wait wait wait, so they found the body then what are they looking for?" Luz asked, rubbing her head a bit. "That's the best part my best friend," Willow said before continuing "They only found half..." Luz frowned and looked at her sister, "I don't like where this is going…" Luz said Lucia nodded in agreement, "We're going out there to find the rest." Salix Finished. Lucia and Luz groaned and regretted going with them and went back inside so they could put some warm clothes on and followed their friends to Salix's Car heading to Graves Field preserve.
—----------------------------------------------------
The group of friends pull up to the Preserve and get out of the car grabbing some flashlights. Before making their way inside the woods. "Are we doing this?" Lucia asked with a sigh. "Hey, you're the one who is always bitching about nothing happening up in this town," Salix said, with a chuckle Luz and Willow did the same as they walked through the woods, Luz yawning. "You know we were about to get some before practice starts tomorrow," Lucia said as she walked next to Salix, each holding a flashlight."Right because being our star bench-warmers is such an effort," Salix said, rolling her eyes and putting her arm around Lucia's shoulder. "Hey, I was only benched because I was the substitute for our pitcher," Luz exclaimed. "And you barely played Luz," Willow responded. "Hey, at least we're -" Lucia was about to finish her sentence but Salix interrupted her. "Trying to be part of the starting lineup, we know if anything the same thing is going to happen this year," Salix said with a shrug and a smirk which caused her to get bonked on the head by Lucia, which she laughed at.
They continued their trek in the woods while Luz and Willow were looking at the stuff that was around them. Lucia asked a very important question. "So just out of Curiosity, because we are out here doing Scooby-Doo shit looking for clues, which half of the body are we looking for?" That caused Salix to stop and think before continuing to walk. "Huh! I never thought about that…" Salix said her head tilted to the side Lucia frowned at her and continued,"Uh-huh, and what if the person who killed the person and left the body is still out here?" Lucia asked once again to Salix. It was quiet for a moment before Salix spoke. "and I didn't think about that either… well then we'll just have to wing it." Salix shrugged her shoulders as they trekked up a dirt hill.
"Well it's nice to know that you planned all out with your usual non-attention to detail, Estúpido" Lucia said, still following Salix, occasionally looking back towards their youngest siblings making sure they stayed by the group. "I know right?" As she said that she dropped to the floor and brought Lucia down, the younger siblings followed after, Salix and Lucia turning off their lights once they saw the group of officers searching for the Body that was reported.
"So what's the plan?" Luz asked."We're going to need to cause a distraction so we can continue to look for the other half of the body without getting caught." Salix said,"So live bait, good idea." Luz nods at the plan. "So who's going to be the bait?" Luz looks at Willow then Lucia then at Salix, who sighed, "Being smart is such a chore I swear",she mumbled under her breath,"Okay here's the plan Lucia and your sister will go look for the body while we cause the distraction, okay? Good." After she said that she bolted toward the officers, and Willow followed behind her. The Noceda siblings looked shocked before actually moving their butts to find a place to hide they chose to hide Behind a tree as a matter of fact.
While Willow and Salix were running towards the crowd, one of the K-9 units spotted them and started to bark at them. Which to their dismay startled both of them and they fell on their butts startled by the dogs. "Whoah Forgot about the K-9 Units..." Salix said and Willow smacked the back of her head in response, She deserved that. "hold it right there!" one of the officers who is trained to be with the dog said. Which grabbed someone else's attention. "Dang it Salix…" a voice said as they went over to the commotion. "I hope you didn't bring Willow…. And you did." Sheriff Gilbert Park came into view her sighed as he faced his squad,"These two are mine. Go back to searching, I'll deal with them." The officers nodded his head and left. "So are you going to listen to all of my radio chatter?" Gilbert asked with and eyebrow raised. "Well, not all, only the important ones!" Willow gets punched in the shoulder by her older sister. "ow!" They started to fight with each other for a bit. Gilbert Shook his head and with a deep sigh he shouted, "Enough, you two, where are your partners in crime?" Their dad asked asked. Willow was in a headlock by her older sister and responded, "Who? Lucia and Luz, oh they're at home, they wanted to get some sleep for school tomorrow, hehe… try outs for starting line up are tomorrow you know" Salix said as Willow nodded her head and continued."Just us in the woods alone…" Willow said with a smile. Gilbert, knowing his daughters he didn't believe as he gave them a deadpan look and shouted. "LUZ! LUCIA! Are you out here?" He shouted, Hidden behind the trees Luz and Lucia flinched but stayed hidden. There was nothing but the occasional distant thunder since said siblings were long gone but hiding a few feet away.
"Lucia!" he called out again and got no response he sighed and dragged his daughters both by the ear which caused them to yelp in protest. "We are going to have a serious talk about listening to my radio chatter." He said as the girls cried in protest as they were getting dragged back to Salix's car by the ear at that Willow and Salix yelp in protest, "Dad, that hurts." Salix cried. "Papa, please." Willow cried as well.
—-----------------------
A few feet away Lucia and Luz sigh from their hiding spots before going off to look for the body. Luz stayed close to Lucia since she had the flashlight, She would occasionally move from her side to look at something she spotted. "We should do a nightly hike in the woods like this more often when we are not, you know, looking for half of a dead body," Luz said as Lucia nodded her head in agreement. They continued walking for about another half an hour before Lucia tripped on something."whoa-!" Luz, not paying attention, fell as well on top of her. "WAH!" Lucia groans as she shines the light on whatever they tripped on. Turns out it was the other half of the body that they were looking for. Startled, Luz and Lucia shouted back up and not paying attention tumbled down a dirt hill. They grunted as they tumbled. Luz hits her back against a tree, and Lucia hits her head against something which she yelps at. They continue to tumble, eventually slowing down and landing right on top of each other. "Merida!" Lucia groaned. "you okay Luz?" She asked her younger sister with a bit of concern. "I'm fine, just hit my back from the tumble." She groans as she gets off her sister and looks around. "I'll get you all patched up once we get back home okay?" Lucia told her sister that, and she nodded in response. "Uh, I think that fall made us lose our way back," Luz said. "Probably but I think we should be closer to the road if we keep going that way." she points towards a direction, and Luz nods in response. A snap of a twig is heard as they are about to move out towards the road. The sisters got up and looked around. "Stay behind me" Lucia immediately went into protective Older sister mode and looked around for the danger. "Lucia, what was that?" Luz asked, a bit scared as she looked around also,"I don't know but stay close." The eldest responded as they started to move forward.
A growl was heard as they were walking and they stopped moving. Looking around looking for whatever is growling like that. Due to the little light of the full moon, they were able to spot a huge wolf-like creature growling at them ready to attack. "Luz get ready to run…" Lucia said as she held her sister's hand tight. Luz nods, scared to talk. With a blink of an eye, the beast charged at them going in for the attack. Lucia started to run Luz Catching up to her as the beast missed its targets and started to chase them. "Push it Luz we are almost-!" Before she could finish the beast took her down but she slipped from its grasp as she tumbled to the ground wincing in pain. Before she could get up the beast took its chance and bit down on her side. Which caused Lucia to shout in pain. "Damn It! Let go of me you piece of shit!" Lucia shouted. Now Luz who was running turned around hearing her sister scream, went back to her sister, but grabbed a thick stick, and Bashed the beast's head with it with the Swing of a profession Baseball player. "Get off of my Sister!" She shouted when she hit its head which caused it to let go of Lucia, it wasn't expecting that at all it shook its head a bit stunned from the sudden attack. "Lucia Run! I'll be right behind you!" Luz said. Lucia growled holding her side as she tried to get up. "You damn brat! You don't come and save me, I come and save you!" " Lucia started to get up using the tree as leverage and started to run with a kick of adrenaline. "move it Luz!" Lucia said shouting to her sister, Luz smiles a bit and starts to run after her sister. The beast recovered from their hit as they ran away. Luz wasn't going to get away with what she did, unfortunately, The beast went after them once again, not letting this opportunity go to waste, and went after them again with the youngest Noceda on its mind.
The Nocedas pant as they near the road from all the running that they are doing and with the adrenaline pumping in their vines they're not going to be exhausted until they relax. Or so they thought the beast that was chasing them caught up with them and took charge again jumping at Luz who was behind Lucia and taking her down they tumbled. The beast landed on top of Luz as it growled and Bit down on her shoulder. Luz shouted from the pain. Which got the Oldest Noceda's Attention. "Luz!" Lucia shouted. And ran towards her sister without anything in her hands as a weapon she shouted with determination to save her sister and kicked the beast off her sister. The beast fell over and rolled away from them. Luz groaned from the pain she endured from the beast. Lucia picked up her sister as quickly as possible and ran towards the road. Her shirt was bloody from her wound and with Luz's injury on her shoulder, she pushed herself to the edge of the preserve. Not paying attention, a car was coming towards them. The driver honked its horn seeing Lucia come out of the woods with her sister on her back, turning around just in time to see the car she couldn't move like a deer caught in headlights. The car thankfully moved out of the way to avoid hitting them. Tired and in pain Lucia drops to the floor still holding her sister. And pulls out her phone calling Salix to come get them. A distant howl was heard after she ended the call. It started to rain once she started to stop the bleeding from both of their injuries using Luz's jacket to tie up Luz's shoulder and using her own to wrap the wound up until they went home.
Lucia pants from all the stuff that just happened and laid her sister on her lap as she laid down exhausted on the side of the road. Salix and Willow pulled up minuets later and dragged them inside the car and drove them home. Wondering what the hell happened out there.
Chapter 2: First day back
Summary:
Well, that was a lot. Oh, well, it's the first day back at school, so let's see how this goes.
Notes:
Welcome to the second chapter of this Au, I'll be posting these while I Work on My other one
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Chapter Text
Aw yeah the first day back to school, starting a new semester here at Hexside High School, home of the Griffons, where jocks and bullies rule the halls while the nerds take the fall. We continue our story as our Noceda Siblings ride their skateboards towards the school. Lucia Noceda, the oldest of our duo, is wearing a purple and white striped shirt white a green camouflage jacket with black ripped jeans and some black boots, while our youngest Noceda is wearing a white sweatshirt and a purple sweater with green cargo shorts and white Vans.
A car pulls up to them almost running them over as they are getting close to the school said car pulls into their parking lot and the driver and passenger come out of the car low and behold the start soccer starts Bosha and her older sister Becky Crowe are seen, The Crowe siblings look like twins from the hair to the face, both supporting pink hair and with light tan skin color and blue eyes, but they aren't, Bosha is wearing a black blazer with a red tie with black cargo pants and black Vans, While the eldest sister had the same style but invert colors but with a black leather jacket.
"Hey, Noceda watch the paint job" Brooklyn smirks with a chuckle as Bosha smirks at them.
Lucia and Luz glare at them before Someone calls the Havenstar siblings names. "Hey Bosha, Brook let's go!" A random person said and the siblings left shoving Lucia and Luz as they passed by. "I swear I wanna kick their ass…." Lucia said and Luz nodded in agreement. But they decided to ignore it for today and meet up with their friends, it's not the time and place for this bullshit.
The parks pulled up in their nice black jeep with a couple of other passengers. Willow was wearing a white T-shirt with a camouflage jacket and pants with black high-top boots, and her eldest sister was wearing a white shirt and a yellow cloak with blue jeans and black Air Force Ones. Their hair looked the same, but Salix cut Willow's hair to be a bit shorter, and Willow had a lighter green streak in her hair. "Hey, it's my friend who almost died from blood loss In my car last night." Said Salix with a smile while the other passengers came out of the car, Willow laughing a bit. "Salix you need to clean up back here man there are weed bags everywhere, I swear you're secretly a hippie," a female voice said as she got out of the car. This young lady was a dark-skinned female who was wearing a black green day album shirt, American Idiot, with black skinny jeans, black Timberland boots their hair black with white streaks.
"yeah, I'll probably get high just from smelling that" This time a male voice spoke, coming out of the car a young man who looked younger than the others came out of the car sporting black hair in short dreads, he wore a black jacket with a blue t-shirt, white pants and red and white Nike Air Force Ones. "If you say that again Gus, Skara I'll gut you," Salix said to her friends. Now Skara likes hanging out with these guys because they're a fun and caring group. Bosha and her older sister's crew on the other hand aren't like that, though she's part of both JV and Varsity Baseball team… She would rather be here with Luz and them but she can't for reasons that we shall not get into.
"Yeah yeah, you say that a lot and we're still here," Skara said with a smirk as walks up to the Noceda Siblings and stood next to Luz. The others finally join them. "So give me the reason why I had to pick up you and your sister half dead on the side of the road and don't skip the details!" Salix said with a hint of worry but curiosity. Lucia sighs before showing them Luz's and her Bandages that cover their wounds from last night which have a patch of blood on them. "So I'm pretty sure it was a wolf that attacked us but it was too dark to see," Lucia said, describing the event that happened as best as she could but was interrupted by the laughter of Salix. "Pfft hahaha ain't no way that you saw a wolf, there's no way" Salix Laughed, and Lucia frowned.
"The fuck do you mean? You weren't there Salix and I heard a wolf howling right after I called you" Lucia said, a bit mad that her friend doesn't believe her, her Fucking best friend at that! "The hell you did," Salix said. "The fuck you mean by that now?" Lucia said, pissed off now. "Calm your tits Noceda," this time Willow responded to save her sister's life "The reason why is because there are no wolves here in graves field California, haven't seen one here in 60 years, dude." She responded to Lucia while playing a game with Luz Gus and Skara, CoD mobile for some reason.
"Really?" Luz said curiously looking up from the phone for a second. "Yep, No Lobos here in California" Salix responded with a smirk. "Well if you don't believe Lucia about the wolf then you won't believe that we found the other half of the body," Luz said with a smirk as she took the winning kill shot. While she cheered, the others were silent because of what she said. "you guys went out there to look for the body?” Skara asked with curiosity and disgust. "Yeah, I might have nightmares for months after seeing that," Luz said with a far-off look in her eyes. "holy fucking shit the plan worked!" Shouted Salix And yet it caused them to wince in pain for her shout. "That's great because that caused us to do wall sits for like 30 minutes after we went back home from getting you guys, we haven't done that since… since-" Willow was interrupted by Luz before she could continue.
"Matt started to bully everyone since he transferred here to Hexside, right?” the group nodded, and Luz continued. “Because here he comes" Luz stated seeing the sad but bad boy walk up to the group and try to take Willow's Glasses but he failed because she moved to the side of his attempt grabbed his arm and twisted it making him kneel to the ground yelping in pain. "When is it going to end Matt?" Willow asked unimpressed with his previous attempts, she let him go, Matt walking away with his tail in between his legs. The group sighed before heading into the school themselves. That poor boy. Sucks to be him I guess.
—------------------------------
Our group heads to their class as it's only just the six of them in the same class. Somehow by fate, the seating was two people at a table, Luz sat next to Gus, Willow next to Skara, and, Lucia was with Salix with a few empty seats available for any new students who decided to join them later on in the semester, the class bell rings and the teacher begins to write on the whiteboard as he begins to speak. He has to use a stool to do this by the way he is a man with dwarfism. "Alright Class I'm pretty sure all of you may know that there was indeed a dead body found last night in the woods" Our group of friends looked at each other with a quick smile before paying attention to the teacher again as he spoke. "And I'm sure your imaginative minds are coming up with weirdo scenarios as to what happened but I'm here to inform you that the police have a suspect in custody, Which means you can have all of your undivided attention to the paper that's on your desk aka you syllabus as to inform you on what you may expect this semester" The class groans as they look at the paper on their desk, the group of friends make an unamused look at each other and take a look at the paper. Suddenly a cell phone started to ring which only caught Lucia and Luz's attention, they looked at each other before looking around as the cell continued to ring before they heard a few voices.
"Can you please answer the phone?" A male voice said with annoyance, "This is the third time she called since we got here," a female voice said and another female voice chimed in but younger than the other two. "Please, she's just going to keep calling," The younger female voice said, a bit irritated. Lucia and Luz are shocked they hear this and look to see four people, A pair of Twins but you can tell them apart the male twin has Brown hair with green tips at the end sporting a nice gray sweatshirt with light blue pants and white Nike lows. While the Fehade twin has green long hair in a high ponytail, she was wearing a purple blazer with black skinny jeans and green Jordan ones both sporting golden eyes.
The youngest of the group looks just like the oldest sibling and the twins but She is wearing all white for some reason but a black vest. Her hair is tied up in a man bun and half of her hair Is down, her brown roots are exposed as her hair is dyed lavender. Finally, we got the oldest who sighed and pulled out her phone who is wearing all black but with a purple shirt, her hair looked like a lion's Mane with her natural brown hair and her green-dyed ends her golden eyes just like her siblings look like honey. The girl answers her phone with a Smile. "Hello mom, Calling to check up on us three times in a row is a new record…"
Lucia looks at her sister in confusion and shock at the fact that they can hear this conversation are they were outside next to them. The Woman dressed in black continues their conversation, "Yes Mom for the hundredth time today we made it here safely and we got everything-" The oldest child looks up seeing that the youngest sibling is shaking her head, so she double-checks her bag and groans "Well everything except for a pen me and Mittens forgot a pen…. No, you don't need to do that, we'll be okay… Okay, Talk to you later." The oldest hangs up the phone and puts it on silent, not going to deal with that again.
As she ends the call, the Vice-principal comes out heading towards them wearing a red dress shirt and black pants with a blue and white striped tie. He looks like he's in his 40s. He greeted the new kids with a handshake and spoke. "Hello, I'm Vice Principal Bump, and I'm glad to welcome you to HexSide High School, I'm happy to hear that you all will be joining us, So continuing our conversation before I had to leave you guys are not From San Francisco?" He said to the kids and gestured to them to follow him inside, which they did.
The Eldest spoke, "No, Sir but we lived there for more than a year which is unusual for my family, we usually hop from place to place after a few months." She said as they headed inside the Nocecda’s tracked them as they headed inside the school still hearing them talking. “Well, hopefully, Hexside will be your last stop for a while." Vice Principal Bump said with a smile as they entered the classroom that our little friend group was in, everyone stood from their seats and greeted the VP, which startled the new kids. "Good Morning Vice Principal Bump!" The class said at the same time.
The VP nodded his head and had them sit down. "Good morning students, These Four here are our new students, Amilea, Edric, Emira, and Amity Blight, please make them feel welcome." The Blights smiled and waved shyly, and they found a seat at the empty tables. Amilea and Emira sat at the table next to Skara and Willow Behind Lucia and Salix and Edric and Amity sat behind Luz and Gus next to some random students. Luz And Lucia gave Amity and Amelia an extra pen for class which they were surprised about but thanked them. The teacher started to talk again after everyone was situated. "Alrighty then let's begin our lesson today. Please turn your books to page 133 of Kafka's Metamorphosis."
—---—----------------------------
Finally class was over, The halls were buzzing with activity either it was because our athletes were grabbing their gear for practice that was about to start so they could be ready or it was already gossip season and people were talking about the dead body that was found.
Lucia, Luz, and her little clique meet up to grab their stuff out of their lockers which are a few feet away from the new kid's lockers well now known as the blights. Our 6 friends make eye contact with them and wave, the eldest and youngest blight look away while The twins shake their heads and wave back to them. "Okay, Imma go so Bosha and her sister don't find out about me and just go speak to them before she is Summoned because I said her name," Skara said as she went over to the blights and greeted them happily.
"That's just sad I say, but speak of the devil and he shall appear," Salix said, and after she said that Bosha and her sister's crew appeared heading towards the blights as people avoided them. "Okay, now that's just fucking creepy as hell." The group laughs.
Lucia shakes her head with a smile, as she starts to hear Skara's Conversation with The Blight Kids with Bosha and her sister, with her new advanced hearing.
"Okay first off, before I begin my name is Skara and I'm in love with your outfits, where did you get them? They look so cool." Skara asks with a smile.
Amelia responds because being the older sibling she is in charge. "Oh hi uhm our mom was a buyer for a famous clothing line back in San Francisco, heh" She rubs her neck nervously.
Skara smiles kindly at them, "You guys are now my new favorite kind of people and my list is kinda small" After she says that Brooklyn and Bosha appear next to Skara and she tenses up. The blights notice but don't say anything about it. Gus says something to distract Lucia for a second "It's the fact that Bosha and her sister are Already on The new kids, scary" The others nod in agreement, and the attention goes back to the other people which Lucia and now Luz can hear. "So me and my sister are inviting people over to our house this weekend and you guys are invited you should come," The oldest of the Crowe siblings said to the blights.
"Oh? So a house party?” Amity said not interested, but would rather be anywhere else than here right now. "Yeah Friday night is going to be fun~," Bosha said to them which sent chills down the Blights Skara's and the Noceda's spines.
"Oh, sorry but We have a family night thing we do on the weekends and it's really important," Amelia says, sensing the uncomfortable atmosphere. "Aw, are you sure? Everyone is going after the scrimmage game" Bosha says trying to convince them to join. This isn't working obviously but they're not playing any mind. "So like Basketball?" One of the twins asks curious but hella confused. And Both Brook and Bosha smirk.
"No silly basketball Is for chumps. Hexsides Sport is Baseball. We've won state championships for the past three years for both Varsity and Junior Varsity for history's sake" Brooklyn said. "And all because of the school's best and most amazing captains," Skara said with mock amazement rolling her eyes, The Blights and the Noceda Siblings chuckled at that.
"Anyways, said captains have practice in a few minutes and you guys should go to see us practice if you want to" Skara invited the Blight kids to see what their school team is all about.
The Children look at each other before nodding in agreement "Sure, that doesn't sound too bad" The eldest Blight answers, which Skara and The Crowes smile at, Skara leads them to the soccer field and nods to Her actual friends as they pass by.
"Come on Guys Practice is about to start," Lucia says to her friends and heads to the locks to change with Luz and the park siblings following behind her while Gus catches up to Skara and the Blights.
—---------------------------------------
At the Baseball field, both JV and Varsity teams are gathered together warming up others practicing their Swings, others stretching their legs out while others test out their pitches. Some non-athletic students Start to fill up the spectator benches just to see their amazing team in action, including the Blights and Skara and Gus who he introduced himself to the new kids.
Lucia Luz Willow and her sister are jogging right now to warm up because jogging does wonders for you, Luz and her sister are legit jogging like they have been doing for years which they haven't been unfazed while Willow and her sister are struggling, they strike up conversation. "So you think you too are making Captains this year after the scrimmage game which is tryouts aka the elimination trail?" Willow asked their best friends, finally catching up to them. "We are gonna have to. I'm pretty sure everyone is tired of their Shit, Treating us like pawns in her game of chess…" Luz responded with determination and Willow knew that look and she sighed. "Well let's make it happen, future captains!" Salix said with a cheer and the coaches Called them over, "Oi Noceda get over here!" Said coach is a tall Asian female who is rocking a mullet wearing the school colors, because of the track uniform, and wearing black New Balance shoes. The Noceda's Nod to their friends before breaking off to see the Coach. "Yes Coach?" they said at the same time.
“So today I want You two to play pitchers for both of your teams to fire up our school team," the coach said with Bosha and Brook smirking behind her. "Uh we never played pitchers, ma'am," Luz said with a bit of unease and sadness.
"I know but this is just for today to get everyone pumped up for Friday and why not get them pumped thinking that they could get a good hit from the captains on this team." The coach said to give them a bit of motivation. The Noceda's Nod their head and the coaches toss them some gloves. "You two got this," she said, patting their shoulders which Luz winced at a bit but the coach didn't notice Someone else did.
—----------------------------
Everyone gets ready, splitting up to their respective teams Luz and Lucia on the pitching mound, Luz is bouncing on her heels a bit nervous never doing this before and so is her sister but they steal their resolve and get in their ready positions. Willow and Her sister are on the field posing as the teammate that is going to catch the Balls and call out strikes, Aka the Catchers, the said sisters were stretching while they waited, fixing their gear in the process.
The Blights look at their teams and look at the Noceda Siblings and The parks, a bit intrigued by them. Amelia looks at Skara, "Who are they?" Amelia asks and Skara tilts her head for a second before answering. "That is Luz and Lucia Noceda, our Co-captains who are hoping to become our new captains this year which we need right now" Skara responds to Amelia. "And the other two are Wionna aka Salix and Willow Park they're great outfielders and catchers, they are great at their position, and they make sure that the other team gets their three outs before they can score,” Skara said with a smile. Amity nodded then tilted her head looking at the Noceda siblings, "So what of Luz And Lucia?" Gus looks at Amity and smiles. "Well, they're our best batters and basemen, yes Boscha and her sister a good themselves but The Nocedas are better it's unfortunate that they play as the basemen but I don't know why they are playing pitcher… they never play that…" Gus says confused but shrugs it off. "We'll just have to see how this is going to go."
Luz and Lucia listen in on their conversation with their enhanced hearing smiles as they're about to start. The assistant coach blows the whistle to start and Lucia and Luz hold their ears in pain.
"what the fuck is going on," Lucia said out loud to herself. Seeing this Bosha tells Willow to start, she does, not paying attention to what is going on with Luz right now, and throws the ball. The Ball hits Luz on her hand and she shouts in pain, “Damn It, Willow!” The same thing happened to Lucia with Brooklyn and they shook their hand in pain, “Damn it all!” The coach seeing this is a bit concerned bhearsard Bosha and her sister laughing as well as some of the team.
Bosha, laughing at what happened, finally stops and says, "Hey eyes on the ball Noceda don't want you to get hurt now do we?" She shakes her head "And you call yourselves Co-Captians, my ass." sighed sighs before shaking her head and so did Lucia to get back into focus mode and have their game faces on as they get ready for the next shot. Willow and her sister, seeing their pitchers ready, sent the ball to them and were ready for their pitch. On Luz's end, She wound herself up and pitched the ball at Boscha, She watched as The ball curved at the end as Boscha tried to hit it but missed completely, Having Willow catch the Ball calling out the strike.
Everyone was shocked at this and was silent, yes even their friends, surprised that they could do that. I mean they've never seen them play before but this is a new level. To break the silence Willow and her sister cheer.
"hell fucking yeah!" They said and everyone else cheered as well except for well The Crowes confused as fuck but they got a plan. This continued as practice was going on as it seemed that our temp pitchers for today were only focused on making sure the ball was not going to get hit coach nodded their heads and clapped for them. The blights seeing this say their thoughts out loud, which caught Gus and Skara's attention.
"Whoa they're good," Amelia said, now very interested in their school's baseball team."It's like they're in the zone or something" Amity said, amazed by their performance. "They're like really really-" Emira started "Really good " and Edric finished her sentence. "That's the work our co-captains. I think their goal of promotion to captains is in the bag." Gus said with a smirk and the others nodded in agreement.
Back on the field, our showstoppers today are giddy as fuck because of their new development that they didn't know that they had was showing and they smile big, Ever the jealous types seeing the Noceda Siblings getting this attention taking the spotlight they decide to take things up a little bit further and cut in the line so they can go next.
Seeing this the Nocedas tense and cursed under their breath, 'Oh shit' they both thought at the same time. Bosha had a plan in mind and a specific spot that she was going to target on Luz as Willow looked at Boscha unsure about what was about to happen she threw the ball to Luz, which she caught and pitched the ball to Boscha.
Once the ball was pitched towards her Bosha stood up straight and wound up her swing so she could deliver the hardest hit possible and shot the ball towards Luz's shoulder on the right. Seeing what's going on she watches the ball as it comes towards her but it's like time had slowed down for her so she could react to the ball and react the way she wants to.
She decided to catch the ball with her left hand which had no glove keeping her right shoulder low Bosha, surprised at this, stood there in shock and Luz just sighed, happy that she did that. And For Lucia and Brook, well Brooklyn didn't get a home run but she did get a ball to her helmet because Lucia pitched the ball back to her, which she smirked at and everyone was cheering for them because of how good they did. "Yes! That's what you get you son of a bitch!" Salix said to the eldest Crowe that was on the ground with a red mark from where the ball hit on her helmet. Willow went to Luz and gave her a pat on her back, while our spectators clapped and cheered for the team. The coach was taking notes this whole time to see who she was already going to take and replace before Friday nodded to them.
—-------------------------------
After all that excitement at practice the group of friends excluding Skara because Boscha needed her for something unfortunately went back to the preserve to see if they could find the body again. Luz and Lucia are giddy as hell feeding off of the same energy as they talked about practice as they cross the not-dried-up creek getting their shoes wet. "dude I never felt like this before but this feels amazing, is this pride? Or am I just fucking happy as fuck" Lucia said still thinking about what she did to Brook with a smirk. "it felt like I was Toby Maguire in Spider-Man when everything was in slow motion it was like I had all the time in the world to catch that ball! And before you say anything, yes I know that she was trying to hit my injured shoulder." Luz said with a smile
"And that's not all I'm pretty sure I and Luz can smell things and hear things that are not humanly possible," Lucia said. Salix, Willow, and Gus look at each other before scoffing.
"oh yeah like what? Noceda?" Salix asked not believing them whatsoever. “Like the weed-infused mint gum that you have in your pocket," Lucia said matter-of-factly. "And the fact you have spearmint gum in your pocket Willow and Gus, you have a watermelon Jolly Rancher in your back pocket," Luz said with a smirk. The trio checks their pockets seeing that they Indeed had those items there shocked they look at them like there's something up Willow speaking her concern spoke. "and all of this from the bite?" She doesn't get any verbal response but she gets a head nod and she looks to her sister and other best friend. Luz on the other hand being a daughter of a Nurse speaks her concerns. "What if it's an infection that is giving out a lot of adrenaline into us because our bodies are slowly going into shock?" After she said this she stopped in her tracks, her head down in thought. Gus, deciding to lighten up the mood, says something, "I think there's a name for this type of infection, I think it's a special type of infection from what info you have given us." Salix and Willow catching on start to nod in agreement and continue the bit. "Yea I think it’s called Lycanthropy," Salix said. "Yeah, have you heard of it before you two?" Willow asked the sisters, keeping a serious face, and Luz and Lucia shook their heads no as they looked at them. "No, is it bad? Luz asked Willow and Gus, they looked at each other before Salix spoke.
"Yea it's really bad but only once a month on full moons ya dig?" Salix said and then mock howls with Willow and Gus as they started to laugh. Luz and Lucia, who were getting paranoid about this shit, were a bit pissed at their friends but lightly shoved them. "Not funny guys…" Lucia said annoyed but amused. “Hey you're the one who heard the wolf howling, loca,” Salix said, wrapping her arm around Lucia's shoulder with a smirk. “But what if there's something wrong with us?!” Luz shouted now a bit paranoid she started to bite her thumbnail.
“Yeah, there is, you guys are werewolves” He would growl at them which Lucia and Luz weren't impressed with but it made Willow and Salix laugh. “You guys know that we are joking, but if you see one of us in shop class casting silver bullets, well it's because Friday is a full moon.” Lucia shakes her head and helps her sister calm down. After a few more steps Lucia and her sister stopped walking and looked around recognizing the spot but the odd thing is, there's no torn in half body. Luz was more confused and moved about in the area looking for it.
“I swear to God the body was right here last night!” Luz said and Lucia nodded in agreement. “Maybe the killer came back to move the body,” Gus said with a shrug, “And if they did then oh well.” Lucia and Luz were looking around to see if there was a trail or anything left behind, the others joining them spotted two women in their early 20s or so as they froze in place confused about where the hell they just came from.
There was one with Raven Hair with an orange streak her hair was tied up into a low bun with half of her hair out, the other with Orange hair and with some gray streaks of hair visible rocking a slick back mullet, both with pale skin, the Raven hair woman was wearing a leather jacket with a white blazer and black jeans with black biker boots her blue ocean eyes glaring at the group. The other had a smirk on her face as she was wearing a leather biker jacket that had the Harley Davidson logo on the back, wearing a white t-shirt Dark blue Jeans, and heavy combat boots, her bright yellow eyes seemed to glow as she looked at them. “What are you doing here? This is Private property” The woman with Raven Hair spoke and startled the group which led them to not respond to her question which she didn't like. She was about to move towards them but the other stopped her in her tracks. “Sorry, about her being protective of this place, so mind telling us why you are here?” The other woman said with a smile but it didn't look nice.
“Uh sorry we didn't know,” Gus says backing up behind the group a bit scared because of the woman with Raven Hair. Lucia and Luz step up a bit and respond.
“Sorry, we were looking for something that we left behind last night…. The orange-haired woman looked at Lucia who was speaking but she stopped noticing the woman staring at her. Luz spoke up this time, “Looks like we couldn't find it though so you can forget it,” The Raven looked at Luz with an eyebrow raised Luz gulped seeing her piercing gaze on her. “Uh, we'll be off now!” Luz Finished grabbing her sister's hand and pulling her away, The two women watching the two Noceda Siblings leave only paying attention to them and not the others, they leave afterward heading back to where they came from.
“Okay that was creepy and scary at the same time,” Gus said with a sigh, his nerves calming down. The group nodded and gave out a sigh of relief. “Well me and Luz have to go to work, I'll see you guys later” Lucia was about to leave but was stopped by Salix. “Dude! It just hit me but don't you know who those people were?” Lucia looked at her with her head tilted in confusion. “Huh? Uh, should I?” Lucia said confused Luz looked just as confused as her. “That Was the Mother Fucking Clawthorne siblings!” Salix Said and Gus and Willow blinked in shock. “Oh Lilith and Eda Clawthorne, remember the school talked about them once, they're like a few years older than us, I believe their family died in a fire like ten years Ago.” Lucia looked shocked at this new information but was intrigued. So did Luz but more concerned for their reason on why they returned here. “So then what are they doing back here then?” Luz Asked and the others shrugged their shoulders and started to head out, But Salix scoffed thinking that nothing good could come out of this. “Let's go guys, Luz and I are going to be late.” The trio finally leaves the woods with a pep in their step.
—--------------------------------
Now back at Graves Field, the Noceda Siblings are at their Part-time Jobs at the Animal clinic because they would rather work with animals than with people because fuck them Karens. Night has fallen because they've been there a while now and a thunderstorm has begun, Luz walks up to the entrance to the clinic as Both Nocedas are working here as Vet Technicians, She looks outside seeing that it's Raining cats and dogs out there turning the sign that on the door from “OPEN, Please come in” to “ Sorry we're CLOSED”. After that Luz Heads to the employee bathroom, Bringing some hydrogen peroxide and some clean gauze and bandage with her and places them on the shelf above the bathroom sink to change her gauze and bandage, she takes her shirt off and starts to unravel the bloody gauze and bandage from the injury that she had from that night, She was stunned to see that it wasn't there anymore it miraculously healed in less than a full day, Luz looked at herself in the mirror confused as hell at her discovery. Lucia on the other hand is doing the heavy-duty work lifting a heavy bag of Cat food on her shoulder into the Cat section of the Clinic where the cats that have been taken care of are recovering from whatever they went through when the doctor was in here.
“Alrighty lil kittens it's dinner time,” Lucia said to them, and right after she said that the cats started to act aggressively towards her making a racket via pawing and yowling, As their flight or fight instincts kicked in. “Okay okay, I get the message jeez” Paying no mind really to the cat's reactions to her, Rather strange she thought something just spooked them when she entered the room she dropped the bag and left out of there before the cats could hurt themselves or her. When Lucia went out of the Room Luz came out of the bathroom to finish closing up the clinic Lucia following behind her went towards the entrance to shut off the lights but stopped when they sensed something outside, The siblings looked at each other before looking back at the door and moved towards it cautiously. Just then a soaking wet Amelia is seen at the door crying and pounding at the door frantically with her fist. The siblings nearly jumped out of their skins before sighing in relief, But then realized that they just sensed that she was at the door and looked at each other in shock. Oh Heck no….

Chapter Text
After Luz and Lucia snap out of their confusion about how in the seven hells they knew she was there, Lucia opens the door and looks at the girl, whose face is covered in tears and soaked to the brim because of the rain. She is breathing heavily and panicking. Lucia and Luz are concerned about the girl, and they show it, but Luz takes a breath and Greets the girl.
“Hello-” Before Luz could even finish her sentence The Eldest Blight, Amilea started to ramble anxiously about what happened to her and her siblings, who were currently in the car.
“I didn't see them! I took my eyes off the road for two seconds to deal with my siblings and then these dogs came out of nowhere-! Amelia was about to continue her distressed rambling, Lucia took charge of dealing with this before from her sister and gently put her hands on her shoulder.
“Hey, Hey, Hey, look at me and breathe, in for 3” Lucia breathed in slowly and then breathed out, “Out for eight” The eldest Blight followed her instructions and began to calm down.
“Okay, now do you know where the dogs are so we can call animal control?” Lucia asked Amilea, the eldest Blight sighed.
“I know where the dogs are and where I hit them they're in” Amelia started to panic again and Lucia was patient with her.
“where are they?” Lucia said being slow with the distraught Blight.
“They are in my car with my siblings they are keeping an eye on them while I went to get, well you guys.” The Eldest Blight calmed down as she spoke softly.
“Alright, Luz let's look at them and then figure out what's up okay?” Lucia said to her sister as she grabbed her and her eldest sister their Jacket and followed Amelia to her car.
—---------------------------------
The Eldest Blight led the Noceda Siblings to her car, it was a black Lincoln Navigator, She popped the trunk open where The rest of the blights Were looking at the dogs that were injured, once the truck opened the dogs started to bark which startled the Blight kids, Lucia was trying not to laugh at them so Luz spoke, “You guys okay? They're just scared they won't hurt you” Luz said to the Blight kids as they nodded their heads.
“Alright watch the magic at work kids we got this'' Lucia said after she calmed down from her little laughing fit and both she and Luz looked at the dogs that were growling at them. On instinct, their new wolf instincts kicked in and their eyes glowed which caused the dogs to submit to them and chill out.
The Noceda Siblings checked on the dogs gently examining them, the dogs' reactions to Them touching their legs whimpering in pain and almost biting them, the siblings nodded at each other and carried the dogs out of the trunk being careful.
“Okay, so they got hurt, their legs are most likely sprained or broken, we can put a splint on their legs then we'll leave a note for the doctor.” Lucia said holding the dog with ease and petting it, Luz doing the same and the younger Blight kids watched in awe, ‘Damn they're strong…’ they thought. Then she continued, “It won't take long but if you want to come inside and chill out till the storm calms down then that's fine, just don't touch anything” She finished heading inside quickly as she was getting soaked and she was annoyed, but work is work.
All the Blights followed the Nocedas inside the clinic with a pep in their steps as they were getting soaked from the rain.
—-------------------------
Well, they were right about being quick with their work the dogs were resting on the table on a big blanket their splints were doodled on by Luz with little chibi faces on them, Lucia was putting the stuff away and the Blights were chatting amongst themselves, except for Amliea who walked up to Lucia, she who looked over to the Oldest, and nodded to them and continued to put stuff away.
“Hey, I'm sorry about all of this, I just panicked and didn't realize that you were closed. I was panicking-” She stopped talking when Lucia put her hand up to her to stop talking, Which Amilea did but frowned.
“Aye chica There's no need to apologize you were freaking out and we were the closest thing around it's fine nothing to get you panties in a twist about geez,” Lucia said being finished with putting the stuff away.
“Why don't you pet the dogs as an apology to them since you technically hurt them,” Lucia said with a smirk. Amliea looked at Lucia in shock after what she said. She opened her mouth to say something but closed it, going over to the dogs and petting them, whispering sorry to them.
“geez I've never seen a Rich kid panic over something like this, it's a sight to see,” Lucia said to her sister and she laughed before getting elbowed in the gut, she groaned and held her stomach. “Fuck…. That hurt”
“Not everyone is Like Bosha and her sister Brook Idiot,” Luz said to her sister, and she got smacked in the head by Lucia. “I'm aware of that Bubba but it's fun to tease them.” Luz shook her head and as a result her older sister's answer.
Edric spoke out of nowhere, “Hey are you guys going to that party Tomorrow?” Edric said and his twin sister piped in. “Oh yeah, the party, that will be fun to attend” The Nocedas tensed at that and made a face in disgust.
“We try to avoid the Crowe siblings parties. It usually ends with us leaving because one I cannot handle my temper around Brook, I almost was arrested once, and two I'd rather be at Dave and Buster's.” Lucia says and her sister nods in agreement
“awe come on, it's our first Teenager unsupervised party please go with us, we're new and we need someone to watch our drinks” Emira insisted on them going, “It took us forever to Convince Amliea and Amity and our parents to let us go”
Luz looked at her sister and shrugged, sighing, “Fine but you find your way there, we are not picking you guys up, if I can get our friends to go then we'll go….” Lucia mumbles something under her breath and Luz hears it with her super hearing. “Salix and Willow and probably Gus are going to have to watch us if we need to leave quickly.” Luz nodded and chilled out till it was time to go.
The Nocedas closed up this time making sure to put the dogs in the cage, before leaving and going home. Back at home, they went into their Rooms changed clothes, and, went to bed saying goodnight to each other.
—------------------------
The next day both Nocedas awoke not in the warm comfort of their beds under a blanket and their heads on a pillow no, they were on the ground cuddled up against each other like they used to do as kids, they sat up and looked around realizing that they were indeed in an abandoned Coyote den, they looked confused as fuck and went out of the den. Once they got out they collected their bearings, and they spotted something in the fog.
“Uh, what the fuck is that?” Lucia said to her sister which caused her to narrow her eyes and gasp backing away. “What?” Lucia said to her panicked sister. “It's the beast,” Luz said not taking her eyes off of the wolf creature, Lucia looked once again and this time it was staring at them growling.
The Nocedas didn't want to go through that night again they started to back away slowly keeping an eye on the wolf creature seeing it following them they started to pick up their pace and booked it running from the beast not wanting to go through that night again.
While running from the beast they didn't realize that it stopped following them and Kong vaulted over a fence jumping into a body of water, They were freaking out looking around their thoughts going a mile a minute until Lucia spotted an umbrella and a porch she tapped her sister on the shoulder which startled them and looked at her sister pointing the things out. And realizing that they're in a neighbor's pool.
The said Neighbor was watering his plants when he saw the Noceda's jumping in their pool in a panic, the water turned off from him turning off his hose looking at them dumbfounded.
The Noceda's gave an awkward smile and waved with an awkward chuckle, and said good morning to him and apologized for getting out of his pool and headed home, Getting ready to school and NOT talking about what the hell just happened to them.
—--------------------------
At school Luz and Lucia are gearing up in the Locker room for today's Scrimmage, Aka their opportunity to get that Team captain Role for their Teams, They were chatting with Willow and Salix about their situation, “What the fuck you mean By you were invited to the Party by The Blight kids!” Salix shouted At their friends, and said friends winced from the noise.
“Hey Pendejo tone down the fucking Noise jeez!” Lucia said with a growl. “You guys cannot fucking go.” Luz Looked at Salix in confusion, “Why?”
“Well remember that joke about you guys being werewolves the other day?” Willow asked, “Uh huh,” Lucia said, “It's not a joke anymore, they found animal hairs on the body, it was wolf hairs! You guys were bitten by a werewolf. Your new super hearing and Smell dude are effects of Lycanthropy. We were up all night searching about this stuff and a lot of Adderall was used.” Lucia sighed in pinched the bridge of her nose at that Luz just shook her head.
“Do you know why a wolf howls?! It is to communicate with their pack and tell them where they are. The full moon is legit tonight, you'll transform when the moon rises and your bloodlust will be at its peak, and knowing you Lucia it'll turn into a massacre.”
“How bout this we go and once we feel like tearing People apart we'll leave, but you guys will have to come up with something to tell the Blights, but I swear If Brook does some dumb shit today call the cops because I would rather be in a holding cell then there,” Lucia said and everyone nodded in Agreement and the Nocedas left out of the locker room heading to the field.
—---------------------------------
Out on the field, everyone has circled up in different practice jerseys for their scrimmage game today, Hyped up and ready they tightened up their shoes, The coach walked up to her team and gave a smile.
“All alrighty ladies today is the day new captains are being chosen for this season, during this scrimmage game I'm looking for teamwork leadership and I better see some good scores up in there, the first team to win the game I'll treat their team to whatever lunch that they want and you get to pass my class, okay? JV vs Varsity, let's go ladies!” The coach backs away and everyone whoops and splits into their teams.
“Good Luck Hermana, Don't lose! Hahaha!” Lucia said as she went to her team and Brook rolled her eyes as Lucia stretched.
Luz flicks her older sister off and Willow and Salix give each other a fist bump to each other before splitting, and Willow walks up to Luz. “it's crazy how both teams have an advantage because they secretly have werewolves on their team,” Willow said. “uh huh, this might be interesting” Luz smiles brightly and bounces in place.
Boscha came up to them with a frown and Luz and Willow gave them a deadpan look. “what Boscha?” Willow said Boscha didn't care for their looks and scoffed. “Don't fuck this up Luzer and four eyes I don't -” “Yeah yeah yeah heard it so many times” Boscha didn't even get to finish till Willow interrupted. “We are trying to get In the zone so we can beat Our siblings and get Lunch from the coach, so don't start shit yea?” Luz Said and got into position.
“Look out Boscha Luz is going for that position and this game will get very interesting, Good luck!” Willow left Boscha to her own devices as the coach walked onto the field with the ball handing it to the pitcher, who was the second-hand coach.
“I'd like a clean game, please! Let's get this game started.” She Flips a coin and catches it. “Heads Or Tails?” Brook responded, “Heads” and Boscha responded, “Tails” Since they were still the captains they called the shots. The coach reveals the coin and it lands on Tails so JV is first to bat. The varsity team spread out Boscha went up to the plate warming up a bit as she waited for the pitch. Boscha Nodded at the pitcher who nodded back to see that they were ready Pitched a fastball. Salix who was the catcher positioned themselves to catch the ball if Boscha missed. Boscaha wound up and hit the Ball having it sail threw the air, As Boscha took off getting to second base when the ball was caught by an outfielder from the Varsity team.
“Okay, Okay second base is taken good, By the way, the first team to make three home runs and 5 points win I do not want to be here long, I got plans with my husband.” The coach said announcing the terms of victory. The others shouted their acknowledgment as the next to bat Was Luz who twirled her bat as she walked up to the plate, with a smirk. Salix grumbled something that she heard. “Please don't break the bat or the fucking ball at that.” Luz giggled at Salix hearing her and Swong once the ball was thrown. With a Loud THWAK! The ball sailed through the air Lucia tried to catch it but missed it by an inch, Giving Luz their team the first home run. And two points.
“Wow Nice hit Luz as expected but still a nice hit! Also nice taking the initiative on starting the lead” The coach said as the others cheered on Luz as she came back to home plate. Lucia and Brook watched as their little sibling took the lead, “Alright Hermana Game is on…” Lucia said as she got back into position, “Alrighty Guys we need three outs to show them what we got, Let's make sure that they don't get too cocky!” Lucia said and the other cheered in agreement as Brook glared at her. Lucia seeing this smirked. “What's wrong Brook, do you want them to win?” Lucia asked mocking her, Brook just growled and got back into position as someone else went up to bat. Luz Homerun motivated her teammates to do good for their team they were able to get two of their teammates on base, but got two outs as well, The JV team has to be careful about where they hit the ball. Willow is up to bat this time, Willow is a decent batter but she gets the job done when it's needed. But how Lucia on third base and Brook in the middle, she decided to hit toward the outfield of first. She gets in her batting pose ready to hit the ball. Once the ball is hit, Willow hits the ball in the direction where it is needed and takes off, The two teammates ran to home plate scoring the third point but Unfortunately, Brook moved and kept her eyes on the ball and caught it before they got the fourth point. Willow cursed under her breath and headed back to her team with the others. Luz and the other patted Willow and their teammate on their back congratulating them.
“Nice try Willow, look on the bright side two more points and two more Hommers and we win,” Luz said with a smile, Willow smiled at her and nodded. “Park!” Boscha shouted which caused Willow to groan in annoyance and Luz to Growl. Hearing that Willow just placed her arms around Luz's shoulders, “Chill co-capitan.” Willow told Luz and she got a grumble in response. “Park what the hell was that we could have gotten our last points!” Boscha said getting up all in their face, Luz tensed up once Boscha came close, Willow sighed, “Boscha even if I got the grand slam we would still need one more Home run, either way, We are going against our Siblings who are better than us. It's expected to lose against them. Or get an Out” Willow stated and Boscha Glared at her, “either way Park we had the advantage and we fucking lost it because of you!” Luz raised her hand before things escalated, which caught both of their attention.
“Enough! We can still win this scrimmage Get the outs quick and then we set up the bases once those are set let me bat, ad we win, as Captain Boscha you're supposed to lead and give advice, so back the fuck up! And get your head in the game, what you’re doing now is unnecessary.” Luz said pushing Boscha out of the way going to grab her glove, “Let's get a move on, team I don't know about you but we are going to win!” Their teammates cheered as they rallied around Luz stepping up on the field and getting into their positions.
The varsity team was up to bat now, Brook was up to bat first for the Varsity team, The second-hand coach pitched the ball to her and Brook hit the ball, Willow who was on the outfield, because her sister wanted to stay as the catcher, watched the ball as it started it decent, Brook hit second and was gunning for third base when willow caught the ball and threw it to Luz, Brook slid to third at the same time as Luz who caught the ball and stood on the third base plate. The coach Blew her whistle seeing this, “Brook your out! Next up to bat go!”
Brook cursed under their breath and went to the back of the line. Next up was Lucia who smirked when she went up to the plate. Luz seeing this switched spots with Willow going to the outfield. Lucia gave a wolfish grin seeing her sisters play and got in her ready stance once the ball was hit Lucia started to sprint. Willow gasped seeing this and called out for Luz, “Luz! Get the Ball, don't give them the point!”
Luz who followed the ball seeing it start to descend in the air quickly jumped up and caught it in the air, falling on the ground and landing on her butt still holding the ball, “I got it!” Luz said no one noticed her eyes turning from gold to her normal hazel eyes. Her teammates cheered at Luz's success as they now need one more out for their plan to work. “Ha Suck it, Lucia!” Willow cried out, Lucia just smiled at them and went back in the line where her teammates were looking at the JV team in shock, “How in the hell was she able to catch your home Run hit?!” Brook shouted at Lucia who sighed in annoyance, “Look we practice at home so she is used to my shots at a home run.” Lucia shrugged and went to the back, “It seems the young children are getting better” Lucia said jokingly the others laughed at her joke, lighting up the mood already knowing what the outcome would be. Brook just glared at Luz and then at her sister, ‘There's something wrong with those two and I'm going to figure it out.’ She thought to herself and got ready to change field positions with the Junior varsity team.
Once the last out was called out the teams switched positions and the JV team started their plan of action to win. The JV team hit one home run before their plan went into action. Everyone from that team hit long shots in the outfield and filled out all the bases just in time for Luz to come up to bat to win the game for the team. With her helmet on and face determined, she got in her ready stance, once the ball was thrown time seemed to slow as the ball went towards Luz. In an instant Luz's grip on her bat tightened as she swings her bat hitting the ball her eyes glowed yellow for a split second when the ball made contact with the bat it flew across the field, Everyone watched as the ball traveled across the field fast, Lucia watched and followed the ball, as Luz started running as well as the other teammates scoring the three points that they needed. Luz started to pick up the pace seeing her sister try to catch her ball but it was too far up for her to catch it as it sailed over the fence!
The JV team cheered as Luz made it to home plate Luz slid to victory pounding her chest. The coach blew the whistle stopping the game and everyone stood at attention, “Nice job everyone! JV won so you guys get lunch on me, as a bonus everyone passes my class good job, but only those who are on this baseball team so be very lucky. Now go wash up, and enjoy the rest of your day! JV team send me what you want for lunch on Monday also your new team captains will be announced on Monday during practice, Now scram.” The coach said as everyone left the field to get ready for their weekend.
After washing up Salix and her Sister waved bye to Lucia and Luz and headed home, as they will see their friends later on tonight. ‘Oh boy, this might be an interesting weekend…’ They both thought.
—-------------------------
Back at Home The Noceda's are getting ready to go to the party tonight their Mom Camilla comes up to their shared room with her arms crossed leaning against the doorframe, “So we don't need to have “the talk” do we?” Luz and Lucia Blushed at the thought, “Mama we don't need to have that talk, we know the drill!” Luz said “We are not going to bring anyone in the bed”
Camilla frowned, “Not that talk I'm talking about your drinks cover your drinks Dios mío, de todos modos… They called me in for the late night shift tonight won't be back till morning, so you guys can go to your friends after the party.” The Noceda Siblings sighed and nodded. “Got it, I'll let Salix know,” Lucia said as her mom smiled softly. “Please be safe ¿Mis hijas están bien? (My Daughters okay?)” “Okay Mami,” Luz said as she put on her plaid shirt with a white T-shirt.
Camilla leaves them to their own devices “Luz, you ready?” Lucia asked her sister “No, I'm not, I'm legit going to turn into a monster tonight. I'm not ready for that but the party probably will get my mind off of it..” Lucia sighs but puts on a straight face “It's going to be okay as long as Brook or Boscha don't do anything stupid we'll be out of there quick and deal with it when the time comes okay?” Luz nods at her sister and finishes getting ready and puts a jacket on before heading out to the car. Her sister followed behind her, locking the door to the house before leaving.
—--------------------------
At The Crowe Residence, the party was on the Way and everyone from school was there enjoying the party, The Nocedas Met the Parks at the door and they were discussing what they were going to do about later on tonight.
“So You'll let us know if you guys are feeling weird I guess,” Willow said with a shrug, She was wearing a nice blouse, some black pants, and some Converse. “Seems fair I'll get Skara in on this as well and Gus on our little plan but until then Party time,” Salix said with a little cheer and a smile, She's wearing the same thing as Willow but with her long Yellow Coat, She pulls out some weed in a baggie and smiles. “I got people to give these to anyway, payday for me baby!” She heads inside and everyone else follows.
Once inside the group splits up and enjoys themselves Lucia And Luz look for The Blights and out of instinct they use they use their hearing to find them. All the voices blended in together before becoming clearer, “Woo this party is awesome!” One voice said and it was recognizable as Edric, who currently has a drink of spiked punch, “Ed! you dummy I said don't drink the punch!” Another voice that belonged to Amilea said and The Noceda Siblings went over to them. “Ah chill out Sis it's cool” Ed saw Luz and Lucia come by and smiled “You guys came!” He said drunkenly. “and he's Drunk….” The Eldest pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed.
Amity already looked annoyed and just shook her head “Ed that's like the number one rule in parties!” Amity said but her brother just shrugged them off and enjoyed himself while Em was looking for people to dance with. When she did, she dragged her brother away from them and left Amilea and Amity with Lucia and Luz.
“So you guys wanna dance?” Lucia asked them “We can dance outside at least for some cool air” Amilea nodded her head took Lucia’s hand and dragged her outside, “Just don't try anything Noceda” Lucia smirked as she was dragged outside and Luz and Amity were left inside.
“Sooo, wanna follow their lead or Just chat outside?” Luz Asked Amity and Amity gave her a look that said you're suspicious, “What are you trying to do, Noceda?” Amity asked Luz her eyebrow raised Luz just shrugged but nodded at her suspiciousness, “Just trying to expand my friend group and no I'm not going to do anything weird to you I'd rather have fun and then go home with no problems, ya know?”
Luz answered her and Amity nodded, accepting the answer, “Well let's go outside and Get to know each other better, yeah?” Luz nodded her head with a smile and took her hand taking Amity outside. “So do you like the Good Witch Azura Comics?” Luz asked as she took her out. “I do! I just have the Newest Issue yet!” Luz smiled at her, "I'll let you borrow mine on Monday Okay?” Amity nodded her head and followed Luz Out.
—-----------------------
Once they were outside both sibling pairs split off to do their thing, Lucia danced with Amelia and Luz Was chatting with Amity about the Comic book series that they enjoy, While two onlookers blending in the crowd watched them from afar low and behold it was the Clawthorne sisters keeping an eye on the Noceda Siblings. Speaking of said siblings they felt like someone was watching them while trying not to look panicked or whatever they looked around and spotted the Clawthorne sisters.
They looked at each other before a dog started to bark which made Them look away Eda looked behind her and saw the dog she growled at it causing it to shut up and run away. When she looked back, the Noceda's paid them no mind and went back to doing what they were doing like nothing happened. The Clawthorne sisters looked up to the sky feeling a familiar sensation then left the scene once they saw the full moon shining bright.
Meanwhile, The Blights And Nocedas eventually meet up with each other and hang out with Willow Salix and Gus, chatting it up they talk about the body that they found in the woods, that is no longer there.
“Wait, so you're telling me you guys went out in the middle of the night to find a body in the woods that the police were looking for?” Amity asked and the Four crazy girls nodded their heads without hesitation. “The only reason we went out there was because this one can keep us out of trouble but she makes things fun around here,” Lucia said and Salix faked offense to Lucia and gasped. “I would never” The group laughed and kept telling stories until a few minutes later Luz and Lucia held their heads, forming a headache.
“Mierda,” Lucia said under her breath as all her supernatural senses opened up all at once, the same goes for Luz as well. Amilea who saw them furrowed her brow looking concerned for their new friends “Whoa you guys okay?” Salix looked up immediately after she said that and cursed under her breath, she nudged Willow and Gus to get their attention Lucia answered Amilea, “Yeah just a headache we're gonna go so we don't ruin your guy's fun” She said as she helped Luz up and left the group.
“Are they going to be okay?” Amity asked and Salix nodded her head. “They'll be fine, we'll see them back at school all fine and dandy” Salix Said and pulled out her phone and texted Sakara and Gus but all of that was interrupted by A shout that stopped everyone from what they were doing. “The hell Noceda!” A very annoying voice said, causing The parks to curse under their breath and head inside. “Fuck! This is not the time!”
—--------------------------------
Inside the house a commotion happened while Lucia and her sister were going out the door they accidentally bumped into Becky which caused her to spill her drink on herself now mind you The Nocedas are disoriented right now so this happened, Unfortunately.
“Sorry about that, I didn't mean to bump into you now. If you excuse me, we gotta go home.” Lucia and Luz tried to push their way out but Brook stopped them with her hand pushing them back sister stood by her. “Brook not right now, please… Let us go…” Everyone started to form a crowd pulling out their phones and getting ready to record if there was a fight about to happen and knowing these two it might.
“I'll buy you a new fucking shirt would that make you feel better?” Lucia said to Becky putting Luz behind her just in case something were to happen. “No, it wouldn't Noceda because your broke ass wouldn't be able to afford it or the fucking cleaning so I'm down a fucking shirt!” The eldest Crowe shouted and glared at Lucia and they both glared at each other, before anything happened Salix jumped in between them.
“Aye Brook you're causing a scene either leave it alone or take it outside” Salix tried to de-escalate the situation “It's a party let's chill out,” Salix said trying to defuse the situation from getting any worse but the universe is not on her side today, “We're taking this outside Noceda, Now” Salix sighed and shakes her head, “So much for trying” Lucia sighed and winced in pain, feeling her headache getting worse, “Fine, Willow Take Luz and get out of here please”
“Okay Just be careful, Come on Luz” Willow did as she was told without hesitation and took Luz out of the house taking her away from the scene, Lucia then looked over to Salix with an eyebrow raised. “Yeah, I got a plan just do what you need to do” She then lowered her voice so no one else but Lucia could hear her, “Don't kill her” Lucia heard this and nodded her head. “Come On Noceda, I don't have all night,” Brook said as she went outside ready for the brawl that was about to happen. “I don't either..” Lucia mumbled under her breath and went outside.
—----------------------------
Outside Everyone was gathering around to see the fight between Lucia and Brook “You know this is Stupid right? Over a spilled drink that you could have refilled and a shirt that you could have changed out of, What are you trying to prove here Crowe?” Lucia said “I’m trying to prove that You don't belong here Noceda and that's it” Lucia nodded her head thinking about Brook’s words, ‘So just to be a prick okay..’ Lucia thought to herself. Before anyone could warn her Brook was punched in the stomach by Lucia. Brook held her stomach, coughing up what she had in her stomach.
Lucia stood there with her head tilted to the side “Come on Crowe prove that I don't here, Get up ¡Vamos, levántate, perra, muéstramelo!” Lucia shouted At her and Brook got up and tackled the eldest Noceda to the ground. Salix and the Blights were watching this go down, The Blights looked concerned but Salix was neutral about the situation and started to enact her plan by pulling out her phone and calling her dad aka the Police Chief for their town.
“Yo Dad can you send a Car with your worst Policeman down to the Crowe Household we got a fight happening out here…. Yes, It's going down right now…. Yes, papa crooked cops would be appreciated, please… Uh-huh love ya too” Salix hung up the phone putting her hands in her pockets and faced The Blights.
“Okay Blights I would suggest you guys get out here before the cops come. You have approximately 5 minutes to leave. We'll see you guys at school on Monday Alright?” Confused about what was going Amilea was about to say something but the look that Salix gave was serious and they didn't want to be caught by the cops so they left in their car head home.
Lucia currently has Brook on the ground punching her in the sides of her stomach, Lucia currently has a broken nose from Brook Hitting her square in the face earlier in the brawl which she fixed with a grunt and the sound of bone popping back in place was heard and the crowd cringed at that. Lucia then tried to punch Becky in the face but she moved her head out of the way which caused Lucia to miss, Lucia was Breathing hard from the brawl and her body heating up from her soon-to-be transformation, Lucia was not focused on Brook and took a hit from Becky, Lucia would growl in pain before punching Becky in the face breaking her nose causing her to shout in pain as blood started to spill from her nose, Lucia was about to hit her again till two pairs of Arms came in and pulled her back.
“Hey, What The hell is going on Here?” A cop said, pulling Lucia back as she was trying to go after Becky, who stood up holding her nose that was still bleeding. “officers, that girl is crazy. All I wanted was for her to leave the party because she was causing trouble and she attacked me!” Becky said acting all innocent Lucia was about to say something till she was cut off. “Oh really now, Well then that's all we need to hear, You're under arrest for disturbing the Peace and The rest Of You I want you all to go home Now!” Lucia was struggling against them as she was shoved into the car.
Lucia Looked out the window seeing Salix give her a thumbs up as the cops pulled away from the house. Salix sighed, “Gus come on Imma take you home” Salix walked to Lucia’s car and hopped in with Gus following behind her and they pulled off to their destination.
—------------------------------
Meanwhile, with Luz and Willow, The girls were in the garage at Willow's place since her dad was working late. Luz was Balled up in a corner holding her sides in pain, groaning, “This hurts so much” Luz whimpered as Willow sat by her leaning her head against the wall and sighing, “Walk me through it Luz how are you feeling?” Willow asked trying to distract her friend, “Everything is on fire, I'm hot as hell, my head hurts and my mouth is bothering me.” Willow nodded her head, “Okay do you need anything right now?” Willow asked her best friend, “W- Argh!” Luz shouted in pain as a loud snap was heard Luz looked down at her hands seeing them elongate and form into claws as her fingers started to bleed from her nails as they became sharp talons.
Luz watched in horror seeing her body change as she looked at her best friend, “Willow Go! I don't want to” Before she could finish her sentence another series of snaps and Cracks were heard as her hands continued to change as well as the rest of her body joining in. Willow recoiled at the sounds but scooted away just in case, “Shit, I'm Not leaving my Best friend to deal with this alone. I'm staying here with you then we can go find your sister” Willow said with solid resolve, Luz couldn't speak due to the pain but she nodded in understanding.
Luz Was able to take a quick breather from the pain as she lay there on the ground panting out of breath and in tears from the pain that she was going through, “Willow?”Luz called out to her friend her voice shaken from the pain that she had just gone through “Still here bud” Willow responded, causing Luz to look at her friend, Luz's beautiful hazel eyes were now bright gold as she gave a soft whimper.
Willow sat there not knowing what to do. “You're almost done Luz we'll go find Lucia and my sister afterward,” Willow said to Luz she knew Luz wouldn't be Luz after this and decided to listen to her friend and focus on finding her sibling. Her thoughts were interrupted by a snap that caused Luz to shout once again as her fangs came in causing her to spit out blood and cough gasping for air as her chest expanded to take in more air, the rest of her body started to expand as well causing her clothes to come off of her body as more bones brake and reformed to become the soon to be beast she cried in pain.
Willow looked away not wanting to watch anymore but still stayed there with her friend, as she couldn't even fathom what her friend was going through right now all this pain, as she felt guilty for all of this happening to her best friend. She tensed up once again as Luz let out one last ragged scream, slowly becoming a deepening agonizing, mournful Roar. Then utter silence, fucking horrifying silence that caused Willow to look.
What she saw was a freshly turned werewolf staring blankly at the ground on its paws and knees trembling from the pain that it experienced still fresh in its mind. “Luz?” The ears of the wolf twitched at the voice and looked up growling. “Hey it's me, your best friend” Willow raised her arms in surrender and the beast stopped growing looking around in its “cage” It knew it was missing something, or Someone for that matter, and whined.
“I'll open the garage door, just let me get my keys” Willow grabbed her keys and a blanket just in case and opened the Garage door, Luz watched as the door opened her fur stood up as her eyes turned into pinpricks as she started to growl smelling someone else. “What's wrong with… you…. Ah, Shit” Standing there was none other than Edalyn Clawthorne. “Ah Shit is right, Hi there,” Eda said with a wicked fanged smile waving.
—----------------------------
Lucia was in the back of the police car as they were taking the longest way possible to the police station, Lucia sighed, “We aren't going to the station huh? What a not-so-smart idea unless you're trying to get us killed!” The Cop in the passenger turned and faced Lucia, “Shut up back there, or else it's going to be another murder out here” The cop said to Lucia, She glared at them through their rearview mirror, she was panting heavily and looked outside the window seeing the moon she continued to stare at it in some sort of trance and felt something coming down her face she put her hand up to her nose to wipe it off where she saw blood her eyes turned gold and she grunted in pain.
The cop that driving looks at Lucia and sighs turning up the music not wanting to hear this shit Lucia groans again she arches her back in pain as she felt her bones break and reform again, She leans down gripping the back seat as her claws start to form and tears the seat like butter and snarls.
The cop who isn't driving looks to the back seat and sees Lucia change into a monster in front of him and he Shouts in fear as more snaps and Cracks are heard from Lucia as she drools out blood from her teeth sharpening and changing into fangs. She jerked in her seat as her frame expanded and grew. She held her arms out against the cage as she yelled a guttural roar. She crushed the cage and looked at the officers, as she finished her transformation.
“Holy shit - Pull the fuck over!” Was the last thing the cop said before Lucia punched the back seat window open grabbing the not-driving cop by his neck and choking him. It startled the Driver which caused him to crash into a tree killing the cop Lucia was choking due to the impact and her choking the guy.
The other cop ran out of the car trying to escape, All Lucia was seeing was red and the cop running away caused her to lose it as she busted out of the car and chased him into the woods. The officer Ran as fast as he could from the monster. “Shit shit shit!” the officer said and Lucia jumped at him tackling him to the ground and snapping his neck killing him. Lucia growled and looked at the dead man, and then a voice shouted her name, her ears twitched and she looked behind her.
“Lucia! Where are you?” Salix shouted for her friend “Come on Lucia where are you? We gotta find our siblings” Salix shouted again as Lucia stayed where she was and eventually Salix found her standing in front of the dead body. “Okay, one I was expecting you to kill the guys but damn, lucky I got the story planned out.” Salix went towards Lucia, Causing the beast to growl at her, “Oje none of that you know who I am” Salix said keeping her pace Lucia didn't move till she sensed Someone else and snarled not looking at Salix anymore but at someone else. “There's someone behind me isn't there,” Salix said with a sigh shaking her head Lucia snarled at the newcomer. “Interesting I knew you two were aware of your surroundings but this is new,” Lilith said and Salix just dropped her head looking at the Ground and turned around looking at Lilith. “Oh hey, Wasn't expecting you to show up, but then again I kinda did.” Lilith gave a smile to the pair. “Good because this is going to be a long night.”

Chapter Text
“This is going to be a long light,” Lilith said with a sigh, looking at Lucia and examining them moving around them with interest, “Interesting, besides the blood from the guys you killed, never thought you would survive the first time…. Many die from this… impressive” Lucia growls at Lilith still under the influence of the moon she Attacked Lilith, “I didn't even say anything bad” she said as she caught Lucia's paw. Claw? “Please pup we don't have the time,” Lilith said as she pushed Her back with experienced strength, she then looked to Salix.
“You, Girl Call your sister and tell her to meet us in the woods, Now” Lilith shouted after being tackled by Lucia, “Whoa okay then” She pulled out her phone and called Willow, while Lilith and Lucia fought each other.
—------------------------
Meanwhile, with Luz Willow and Eda, Willow was Looking at Eda with a deadpan look and pinches the bridge of her nose, “You've gotta be kidding me” Eda had a smirk on her face “Hi, let's skip the interview, and let's get this show on the road, okay? Now where is the pup-” Eda didn't get to finish as she was Tackled by Luz Eda fell to the ground with Luz on top of her snarling at her, “Jeez! By the gods, I barely know you” Eda said as she kicked Luz off of her and got back up in a defensive stance ready for Luz's next attack.
Willow watching this play out was shocked that Luz actually did that but then again she was not in control right now, she sighed when she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket hearing the specific ringtone for her sister, pulling it out of her pocket she didn't even bother looking at the caller ID before answering it, “Hello?” Willow answered Knowing who it was.
“Wild Flower Look uh Lilith wants you guys to meet us in the Woods” She heard a roar and Lilith shouting on the other line. “Uh okay we'll be there as soon as Eda Deals with Luz things are…. happening,” Willow said to her sister, “Great see ya soon” Willow hung up and put her phone away, “Hey, Eda Can you wrap this up quick your sister wants us in the woods” Eda Currently had Luz on the ground holding her there by the back of her neck holding a pressure point, Luz whimpers as she's held there.
“Yeah sure, why don't you get ready to go and we'll get moving” She moved her attention to Luz ”You done?,” Eda asked as she got a growl as a response, “Imma move my hand don't do anything stupid or you're going back on the ground” Luz doesn't move when Eda moves her hand.
Willow came back out of the garage on her dirt bike turning it on and revving it up, she was equipped with two baseball bats one for her sister and herself. “Can we go now?” Willow asks Eda, “Go on ahead We'll meet you there” Willow nods heading to the woods.
Now Alone With Luz Eda sighs, “This is gonna be a long night…. Let's go pup, gotta make sure your sister didn't kill mine” Eda says as she runs into the woods. Luz only followed behind her because her sister was mentioned since she was the only thing on her mind right now, not because she was told to.
—--------------------------
Back in the woods, Salix watched as Lucia and Lilith fought, Now Salix thought about stopping it but then again rather not because well she didn't want to get hurt or even worse die by her best friend's teeth and claws. “Hey Lilith, are you like a higher rank than her?” Lilith Blinked as she thought about what Salix said, “Duh, why would you- Oh….” Lilith sighed and changed her features to look more wolfish, her ears pointed and fangs visible as her nails turned into claws. Her eyes glowed blue and she roared at Lucia, Which caused her to stop what she was doing and lay her head down looking away.
“And you didn't think about that because why?” Salix said with a smirk. “Shut up” Lilith responded to her with annoyance. “Where is your sister?” Salix was about to respond when she heard a Dirt bike start to head their way, “She's here” Willow pulled up on her bike and handed a bat to Salix, Lilith raised an eyebrow but paid no mind to them
“Where are the other two?” suddenly a brown blur tackles Lucia and they tumble to the ground “Okay, Question answered,” Lilith said as she heard Eda laughing at what happened, “Okay we got everyone together let's go before-” Lilith said before looking towards the Forest line “shit they're here, you two get out of here and go home!” An arrow whizzed past them, and Salix and Willow yelped, backing away, “Eda!”Lilith called out to her sister, “already on it!” Eda took off and went towards the attackers.
The Parks ran and took cover so they don't get caught up in the crossfire, But Salix got an arrow caught in her arm, “Fuck!” she hid behind a tree and so did Willow, “Salix you okay?”Willow asked concerned, “I'm fine Willow, just stay there” Salix shouted to her sister as she took the arrow out with a grunt tearing a piece of her Jacket off and tying it around her arm. “Oh, this is going to be a problem for the upcoming games..” Salix mumbled out loud
Lilith had her focused on the other two, Luz and Lucia were confused about what was going on but focused on protecting each other. Lilith was about to say something when an Arrowhead landed right in front of them and it exploded in a bright light that blinded All three werewolves. “Shit…” during that Three guys came out of hiding with their weapons drawn.
Lilith being the first to get it together looked at the three people with their weapons, one she recognized quickly, “Alador….” She said his name with disgust, causing Lucia to Growl at them protecting her sister, Luz Growls as well as they aimed at the siblings. “Ah Lilith, long time no see, I see you're out on a stroll with some newly turned.” Alador said his crossbow still drawn at them, “Yes, they are under mine and my sister's protection so don't try it Blight” Lilith said to Alador and he looked at the siblings then back at Lilith, they stared each other down then One of the Guys shot Lilith in the shoulder.
Lilith shouted in pain and Alador Looked at the Noceda Siblings, “Take em” The lackeys were about to Take the Siblings but were taken down as quickly as they took a step, The first guy was thrown into a tree head first killing him, While the other One was dragged into the dark forest with a shout never to be seen again. Alador Was distracted from his men getting killed and was about to Get ready to fire his weapon but was knocked out as Fist collided with his face.
The attacker stood there growling, It was no other than Eda seeing her sister get hurt that caused her to go on the attack taking out the men. Wolf-like features were visible just as her eyes Glowed blue, as she was panting heavily, she looked over to Lilith, “You Good Sis?” Eda asked walking up to Lillith, “Take this thing out of my shoulder please” Eda chuckled then went to her sister and pulled the arrow out, Lilith let out a grunt and winced as the wound healed.
“You can come out now You two” As soon as Eda said that Willow and her sister came out of their hiding spot and went over to them, “Okay stressful night, So I think this calls for a little RnR” Eda pointed at Salix, “you lead us back to your place, We got a whole lot to talk about when they change back and you need to get that Wrapped up” Salix looked at her now bloody fabric from her jacket, “Huh I forgot that was there” Willow looked at her sisters wound in worry, “You're going to be okay right Salix?” Salix looked at her sister and smiled "I'll be fine now let's head home” Salix led the others to Their place.
—----------------------------
At the park everyone was in the living room Lucia and Luz were on a pile of blankets on the floor asleep, Luz Was laying on top of her sister as they slept, while Eda leaned against the Wall and Lilith sat on the couch in between Willow and Salix who now Wore a Black Tank top and sweats with her wound now covered up with a bandage “Okay so What are you guys here for again?” Salix Asked.
Lilith sighed and answered with annoyance, “We are here because we're making sure no more hunters come here and try to attack after what happened in the woods and We need to talk to Them once they change back, So until then” Lilith stated relaxing on the couch watching the two newly transformed Lycans, “We'll be on guard duty” Eda Finished Lilith's explanation and went out the door, Leaving Lilith with the four Girls, They said nothing eventually They turned on the TV to watch a movie till they fell asleep. Once they did, Lilith turned off the TV and went outside with Eda.
—--------------------------------
In the morning Lucia Jolted awake knocking Luz off of her with a yelp, “What? What's going on?” Luz asked groggily, rubbing her eyes. Lucia looked around her eyes glowing yellow as she looked around, confused about where she was till she saw Salix and Willow sleeping on the couch. “oh…” Lucia checked herself not realizing that she was completely naked till she looked And shouted “Holy shit!” She jumped up dragging the blanket with her covering herself up.
Luz felt cold all of Sudden, still tired, and looked at her sister confused and then shouted, seeing herself in the same situation as her sister and shouted as well waking up The park siblings covering herself up with the other blanket, “Where's the danger! Who's hurt?” Willow shouted and looked over to Luz and Lucia, Who were frozen like deers caught in headlights, “Uh Sorry Willow, Uh Buenos dias?” Luz said being dumb Willow was lucky she couldn’t see anything but still blushed looking away, “Luz it's too early for this, Your stuff is in the room, you guys know where,” Willow said and The Nocedas went to put some clothes on.
Luckily their dad wasn't in yet so, Willow went into the kitchen to start breakfast, “I'll get Eda and Lilith wherever they're at, Salix went to open the door, and low and behold The Clawthorne sisters were standing there at her Door, Salix Deeming it too early for this supernatural shit let them in, “Wow no snide remarks huh this is interesting” Eda said with a smirk, “It's early and I haven't had my coffee or my special treat for today, So I would like to have the two people that are on my Dad's list of people to be cautious of hurry up and finish what they need to and get the heck out” Salix responded and went into the kitchen to make her some coffee.
Lucia and Luz Came from upstairs fully clothed and frozen seeing Eda And Lilith, “shit-” Lucia cursed under her breath, “Hey we're not going to do anything to you just wanna talk” Eda Went over to Luz and Wrapped her arms around her shoulder, Luz stiffened when she did and growled softly in a threatening way, Eda just chuckled at her trying to sound scary, Lucia was tense about to Say something to Eda But Lilith stopped her and led them both to the couch and they were forced to sit, “So first let's start with this, What do you remember from last night?”
Lucia and Luz looked at each other before Lucia spoke, “Well I remember Going to the party that thing one and thing two hosted, we chatted With our friends and, and then I felt a major headache tried to leave but got into a fight… then I got arrested and the last thing I remembered was looking at the moon…” she frowned trying to remember what happened after that but couldn't, “and that's it” Lucia finished with a frown Eda Nodded her head “okay what about you Luz?” “ Uh I remember basically what Lucia said but I was Dragged out of the party by Willow and We went back here after that nothing…”
Willow jumped into the conversation from the kitchen, "You guys turned into werewolves last night and were attacked by hunters” Luz looked shocked as she was getting all of this info and images started to flash in her brain, “Oh God please tell me I didn't kill anyone” Luz asked panicking, You didn't” willow said then Salix Jumped in “Lucia killed up some crooked cops though and woo what crime scene” Willow elbowed Salix in the rubs and she grunted in pain.
“What?!” Lucia shouted and Eda shrugged, “Sounds like my first time” She laughed and Lilith shivered not wanting to recall their first time transforming, oh boy what a night that was. “Back to werewolf things, those Hunters hunt Supernatural kind for a living but mainly us werewolves for centuries,” Lilith said to the Noceda Siblings, Lucia snarled and shouted, “Us?! Us?! They've been hunting you two for centuries, I swear to God if you did this to us-” Lucia shouted but Lilith put a stop to this rant her eyes glowed blue and she growled, “What are you going to do about it?”
Lucia froze and shut her mouth, looking away, “Now where were we? Right, Ain't it so bad that you can see better, and hear more clearly? Move faster than any other human could hope?” Luz was in thought when Eda continued to speak to them. “You two were given something people would kill for, The bite is a gift,” Eda Finished.
“What if we don't want it?” Lucia asked and Lilith looked at her, “You will and you're gonna need us if you want to control it.” Eda smiled wide, “And you know what that means kiddos? We're Family'' Luz and Lucia froze being told what was up and being called family, Eda clapped her hands,” Now with that out of the way time to go, See ya around” Eda and Lilth got up from the couch and head out the door, “We got our eyes on you two” The Clawthorne sisters leave the house closing the door behind them. Leaving the Nocedas to their thoughts.
Willow and Salix came out of the kitchen with some bacon eggs and pancakes, they had to replace the milk with Almond milk for Lucia And Luz and they sat in silence. “You know what worries me the most?” Lucia asked, “Say something stupid and I'm kicking you out” Salix Said as Lucia broke the silence “That they're right and I don't like it…” Salix Nodded, Aye it's gonna be alright we're in this together even though I'm not a werewolf we can still Chain you two up on the full moon and feed you a concerning amount of meat.” Salix said with a smile as she took a piece of bacon and ate it.
Lucia Started to chuckle a bit and Ate her pancakes Luz Doing the same as Willow turned the TV on and put on some anime. “oh make sure you Talk to our friends about last night tomorrow, Well except for The Blights because we'll, They're part of a family of Hunters.” Salix Said Casually, “What?!” Lucia and Luz shouted at the same time.
—-----------------------------------
It was the end of school on a Monday and Lucia and Luz were standing outside of the school as school ended with their baseball gear on, Standing in front of Gus, Sakara “Uh So Friday was interesting but all Imma say is that we're okay and there's nothing for you guys to worry about okay?” Luz nodded her head in agreement with her sister, “All good here.” Sakara and Gus looked at each other and sighed nodding their heads, “Okay just make sure to ask for help when you need it” “You got it Gustaban” Luz said with a smile, Then the duo walked off, When Lucia and Luz were about to leave to head to the field they heard Some kids calling their names.
“Luz! Lucia! wait up!” the Nocedas turned around and spotted the Blight children, They froze but Smiled at them ”Yo” Lucia said as they approached, “You guys okay?” Emira asked, “and Did you kick the Crowe’s Ass?!” Edric And Emira bombarded The youngest and Oldest Noceda about what happened, Amliea went up to them and smacked the back of their heads, “Can you two back up and give them space?” The twins muttered sorry and backed up, giving them some space.
“Now again Are you guys okay? Did you get sick?” Amelia asked Them and The Nocedas nodded, “Yeah, just had something with dairy and didn't realize it, Wanted to get home so I could get some medicine but Brook wanted to cause a problem…. Sorry, you had to see that.” The Blights nodded to their answer and they chatted a bit, till they were interrupted by a car horn a black Ford Expedition pulled up.
“and that's our pops see you guys tomorrow!” the twins and Amity waved bye heading to the car and hoping in, Amliea stayed behind for a bit before leaving for the car she waved bye, Lucia and Luz were about to leave to the field before catching a scent they stopped and turned around seeing Alador there, He catches them staring and Luz and Lucia wave at him with a smile, He waves at them before heading into the car heading home. The Siblings look at each other before speaking at the same time, “We are so screwed”
Notes:
Yes, I know this is short but I just wanted it to be out of the way, because of how short it is. Anyways Is that Alador I see? Ooo what does this mean for the blights and The Nocedas' relationship with each other, probably nothing bad, Oh and the Clawthornes are now on that neighborhood watch status for The Nocedas crazy!

Chapter Text
Several minutes after Lucia and Luz saw Alador Blight the Local Werewolf hunter pick up his kids from school, Lucia was leaning against the locker half dressed for practice as she had a far-off look staring at the wall while Luz was sitting on the bench in a daze, Realizing now that their new additions to their group of friends are Related to a Werewolf Hunter, that nearly killed them including Eda and Lilith on the weekend during the full moon.
Willow and Her sister looked towards their friends and checked on them, and when I say check on them I mean they kicked the lockers by startling The Noceda Siblings. “the hell?!” Lucia shouted Her eyes Flashing gold for a second, “Merda!” Luz shouted, causing her eyes to do the same reaction as her Sister's; they both growled at Salix and Willow before snapping themselves back to reality. “Oh boy today's going to be interesting, but did you tell our lil buds what's up?” Salix Asked them and Luz Looked up.
“We told Gus about it, Skara wanted to make sure Lucia was okay, but we didn't tell her about the after, and no we didn't tell the Blights,” Luz said and Lucia spoke slightly panicking. “How would you Tell someone that your father nearly killed us because he is part of a Family of Hunters that they probably don't know about and they're most likely Going to get involved in?!” She held her head getting a Headache and grunted.
“Shit Lucia Calm down” Salix Saw Lucia panicking and noticed her eyes flashing gold and panting heavily. “Willow check Luz, Lucia Focused and Breathe in…… out….. do not transform in here” Salix Said low and quiet Lucia heard and started to focus on her breathing to calm down.
Willow sat in front of Luz; she was Panting heavily as well, reacting to her sister's distress. “Hey hey Luz Calm down, breathe with me” Willow Instructed Helping to Calm Luz down, Luz Blinked a few times after she calmed down, “What just happened?” Willow clapped her hand on her back, “You almost went full wolf on us bud Now let's finish before the coach gets any ideas”
Willow pulled Luz Up from the bench as they finished gearing up for practice.
—--------------------------------------
On the field, the coach was about to announce what they were doing for practice today, “Alright Ladies listen up, We are going to do a mile around the field after that batting practice, then I'll tell you what's going to happen for the game on Saturday, Let's go! Banshees” the coach blew the whistle and everyone started on their laps around the field. As expected Lucia and Luz Were able to Keep to the front of the line passing Boscha and her sister as they passed them with a smirk, which infuriated them tenfold, Once that was over Everyone grabbed their bats and stood in line.
“Alright everyone you know the drill, Hit the ball far enough without it getting caught, if it's caught Twenty push-ups,” the coach says as she blows the whistle to start the drill, The assistant coach pitched the ball at Lucia who was first in line, with a satisfying sound of the ball hitting the bat the ball sailed through the air over the fence, “Nice Lucia! Next!” The Head coach blew her whistle for the next person to start which was Boscha, The ball was pitched and Boscha swung hitting the ball, the ball arched and then started to fall which was caught by the head coach.
The coach blew the whistle, “Crowe Jr. Get started on those push-ups Now, Right where you at” Boscha groaned in irritation and started on her push-ups, Next person to Lose Gives me 40 go!” The coach passed the ball to her assistant coach and Luz was up next and had the same result as her sister, then Willow, then Salix who had to hit the forty push-ups.
This continued For a while The most recent person had to do 120 pushups oh boy, It was Now Luz who was distracted by what happened on the full moon, she seemed like she was ready so the assistant coach threw the ball, Luz looked up too late and missed the ball when she swung, “Crap…” she grumbled, she heard laughing and looked over seeing Boscha laughing, “You still wanna be Captain Noceda? Please” She Said to Luz as she continued laughing, the others were about to say something but The coach came over and started to shout, “What the Fuck was That Noceda? You were doing just fine!” Luz was panting heavily with her head down as the coach continued to shout at Her. “Aye If you're trying to go for captain this time around,” This time she gestures wildly at Luz, “Isn't the way to go! My Grandma can do better than this and she's fucking dead, You get me?” Lucia Salix and Willow looked over to what was happening confused and frowned slightly.
Luz Feeling all the stress and Anger from what happened to her and her Oldest sibling in the past week finally caught up and spoke, “Yes, coach…” She said Softly. “Now we're going to try this again and the same shit ain't gonna happen again, understood?” Luz's eyes started to glow as she spoke with a growl, “Yes Coach” She said firmly but still softly, “I didn't catch that, What did you say?” Luz Gritted her teeth as she spoke in an irritated tone all the stress and events finally catching up to her, She repeated herself, “Yes Coach” The coach came up to Luz with the same tone and whispered in her ear “Then Do it again” Luz Closes her eyes and sighs as she gets back into position.
“Oh, she's pissed…” Salix stated the obvious, Since they watched the interaction, worried, “Lucia… you're going… to… ” She looked over to Lucia who was glaring at Bosha and the coach. “Oh boy, Willow, be ready to get them out of here this isn't going to be good,” Salix said As the coach was shouting.
“Okay Guys Luz is Going to do it again, She's doing it again” Bosha smirked and scoffed at that but watched Luz try again. This time Luz Glared as the ball was pitched to her her eyes changed from that hazel brown to Gold as she swung her bat extremely hard making the ball sail up into the sky, Everyone watched the ball as it disappeared into the trees, never to be seen again, Luz panted heavily as she tossed the bat to the side roughly, Lucia and the others backed up but Boscha wasn't paying attention was hit in the head knocking her out. Boscha shouted in pain as she fell to the ground out cold, Everyone crowded around Boscha and saw her and saw a huge bump on her head, and everyone cringed at the sight. Brook faced Lucia and went up in her face pissed, “Noceda What the hell was that? Your damn screw-up of a sister Fucked my sister up!” Lucia stared at Becky with a glare. It's baseball… Of course, injuries are expected in practice or during the game the game. Shouldn't you be checking on your Sister instead of coming after me? You dumb ass?” She shoved Becky back with more force making her fall on the ground. “Get your shit together Crowe and Go to your sister you do not want to fuck with me right now.” Lucia stared Becky down as the coach called Brook over, “Brook leave Lucia alone and Help your sister to the bench! Park! Get your friends off the field!”
Willow already Had Luz and headed towards them Lucia was panting heavily from the interaction with Brook pissed off as her Eyes Shine Gold as Willow walked up to Her And Salix, “Y'all going to be okay?” Salix Asked Luz shook her head No, “We gotta move Now” Salix said Dragging Lucia away while Willow dragged Luz Off the field not realizing Lilith and Eda were watching them with a focused expression.
—---------------------------------------------
Busting the door open to the locker Room Salix And Willow dragged Lucia and Luz inside, setting them down on a bench Both breathing Heavily. “You guys Okay?” Willow asked and Lucia And Luz Looked up at their friends, Both of their eyes glowing bright Yellow as They couldn't Hold back anymore overwhelmed by everything that had happened to them Luz Held her head and shouted while Lucia Gripped the bench, “GET AWAY!” Lucia shouted holding her head.
Salix and Willow jumped out of their skins and fell on their asses as they watched Their Friends Change but not like Friday night their Ears were pointed as their teeth became fangs and their nails became claws their faces had more wolf-like features, Salix and Willow crawled away from them because Lucia and her sister started to stalk them on All fours. “Oh fuck me man- Whoa!” Salix Jumped out of the way to avoid getting caught by Lucia, She Got up and hid behind a locker as Willow Avoided Luz From her attack and went to the other side of the locker room to hide as well.
Lucia jumped up on top of the Lockers without issue and looked down At Salix her vision tinted red from all of the Overwhelming negative emotions that she was experiencing she followed Salix from up top watching as she tripped and Ran into a corner of her side of the lockers.
Willow on the other hand Barely Rolled out of the Way from an attack from Luz, Eventually Doing the same thing as Their Older siblings, Lucia Climbed onto the heating vents still following Salix As she was now back to Back with Willow both facing one of the Noceda Siblings. Salix noticed a fire extinguisher and a bat and kicked the bat To Willow, getting the fire extinguisher out of its container.
The Parks siblings looked at each other briefly before nodding to each other and got into a pose this time with looks of determination. With a growl Luz Charged at Willow as she wound up the Bat getting ready to smack Luz back to reality, Which she did as Luz landed on the ground with a grunt.
Salix hit Lucia on the head with the fire extinguisher and sprayed her with it. Already dazed from the hit she tried to cover her face from the spray, when she stopped she went over to Luz and Did the same thing. Afterward, Salix Dragged her sister out of there and closed the door behind them, She and her sister Clenched their weapons just in case.
Inside the room Lucia and Luz Laid on the ground for a few minutes before waking up with a gasp, Completely dazed from what the hell just happened all of their Wolfish features disappeared since they reverted to normal. Luz Looked around confused Before she called out her friend's name, “Willow?” Lucia doing the same For Salix, “Salix?” Their ears twitched as they looked in the direction of the door, seeing Salix and Willow peek into the room. As Luz Went to her sister leaning against the locker, The Park Sisters sighed in relief and dropped their weapons going over to them.
“Ugh, what the hell happened?” They asked Worried because they don't remember what just happened a few minutes ago Salix and Willow looked at each other and put on a straight face, “You two Almost killed us” Lucia looked at Her friend confused, “Say what now?” In response she Got a slap to the face Lucia growled at that because it hurt, “You two Almost killed us, Just like we said before your anger and any negative emotions are the triggers”
Lucia glared At Salix for slapping her. As Luz started to laugh then scoffed, “Dude you realize that we've been through a lot this past weekend right? Then add The bullshit from Brook and her sister, I can see why we snapped!”
Willow crossed her arms, “Then there is no Fucking way you two are gonna play the game on Saturday, You guys are still coping from what happened to you guys unless you want to kill someone out there while everyone is watching btw” Lucia frowned, “That's Some Bullshit-” she didn't get to finish her sentence because she was Cut off by Salix, “No!” Luz tried to protest but got shot down by the glare Willow and Salix gave her. Luz whimpered at the glare Willow was giving, and Lucia looked away with a frown growling softly, “This is Some BS, dude…”
Notes:
uh oh... Well, that's unfortunate, Willow and Salix benched their best friends And made Luz sad and Lucia is pissed, wow... Eda and Lilth were there, what are they going to do about this situation?
Chapter 6
Summary:
After a crazy day of practice, the Nocedas head home but a surprise is waiting for them. Oh boy this is going to be fun
Chapter Text
After all of that, the rest of practice was uneventful, Night had fallen and The Nocedas made it home dropped their stuff at the door to their bedroom, and plopped on their beds with a groan.
Camilla knocks on their door and opens it without waiting for a response because she's the adult and has seen them in awkward situations before, don't ask, she is wearing her light Blue scrubs again ready to head to work, She starts to speak without looking at them.
“Mis hijas, I'll be having another Late shift tonight but, I'm taking Saturday off so I watch your games, I'll be rooting for you and the loudest one there.” Camila said with a smile, “Ah I hope these games will help you get to captains!” Luz and Lucia raised their hands in mock enthusiasm, “Yay!”
Then Lucia sat up a bit startled remembering that she couldn't play because Salix and her sister were solid on it, “wait what, no mom you can't-” Camila scoffed and raised her hand, “You may be my children but you can and cannot tell me what to do, I'm going to your games.” Lucia groans and plops back on the bed as her mom walks towards them and sits on the corner of the bed.
“Come on it's not like one shift is gonna break us apart-” she stopped before finishing her sentence thinking for a moment about most of the mother and daughter time they missed out, yes she wanted to be around but not completely because of work took her away from seeing her kids accomplishments, she frowned and looked away. “well not completely…” She mumbles quietly but Lucia and Luz heard her say that but said nothing.
Camila looked back at her kids then frowned with concern, ”Ey, what's wrong with your eyes?” Luz and Lucia both sat up with fear thinking that their eyes were glowing but That's not what Camila was talking about, fortunately. “You two look like you haven't slept in days.” Well… who wouldn't after what's been going on with them with being a werewolf and being high school students who wouldn't be catching z's getting some good sleep in?
“Just stress mamí,” Luz said and Camila gave them a pointed look not believing them. “Just stress and nothing else? Hm?” Lucia responded this time, “Stress Baseball and school mamí nothing else.” Lucia shrugged, “You are not on drugs or anything are you?” Camila asked with her eyebrow raised, reaching for her shoe. “like right now?” Luz being a Lil shit said and Lucia groaned, as her mom gasped in bewilderment. “Right now? I'm sorry, what do you mean “Right now” have you two taken drugs?!” Camila asked with her shoe in her hand.
“Besides painkillers and vitamins,” Lucia said, crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow at her mom Luz doing the same as her sister, “have you?” Camila looks at them with exasperation and irritation as she sees her daughters smirking at her, she smacks them on their heads with her shoe giving a satisfied smirk when she hears them yelp in pain. She got up and headed to their door putting her shoe on, about ready to head out for work. “get some sleep you two okay?” Camila gave them one last look before smiling as she left, closing the door behind her.
The sisters sighed and lay back down enjoying the silence, but it was almost like someone didn't want them to rest at all as their video call ringtone rang on the computer they both groaned in annoyance. “Luz answer it,” Lucia said covering her face with her pillow, Luz rolled her eyes as she got up from the comfy bed and answered sitting in the chair, “Yo, What did you find out?” Luz said with a yawn not looking at the screen not caring about what Salix was doing, Lucia sat up pulled out a chair, and sat next to Luz. “well Boscha has a head injury so she’ll be out for a while” Luz nods her head, “I consider that good news,” Luz said, “Yes but that means you two are gonna have to step up for the game on Saturday unfortunately, since Bosha is injured and Becky has to watch her” Lucia and Luz shrug their shoulders, as they're in thought I mean yes they want to play but what would happen if they accidentally change out there? Chaos.
“Well that's too bad ain't it, because someone doesn't want us to play, how unfortunate,” Lucia said, “Shut up Lucia” Salix responded seeing Lucia laugh. They were in a comfortable silence for a minute. On the screen, Salix moves forward as she is trying to see something. She gets Willow's attention and Willow moves to the screen looking confused. The Nocedas noticed and titled their heads in confusion. “what?” Lucia said as she saw Salix and Willow's eyes widen in alarm, they were about to say something about what they saw but the video decided to have a stroke and freeze, preventing Lucia and Luz from hearing anything.
“Bruh are you kidding me right now?” Lucia said as she closed her eyes in frustration, then the chat box popped up on the screen Luz saw and she tapped her sister on the shoulder, they looked at the screen as Luz read it out loud “It looks like”? It looks like what?” The Nocedas frowned in confusion as they waited for the rest of the message but the computer was slow. Eventually, the rest of the message popped up and read “Someone is behind you” Lucia and Luz's eyes widen As they see Lilith and Eda standing there.
“Oh, Shit! Fuck-” Before Lucia could react to a pissed-off Lilith Lucia was grabbed by Lilith and was pushed into the wall face first holding her there, Lucia struggling to move. Luz was going to help her sister but she was brought down to the ground quickly by Eda holding her by the neck and pulling her arm, she shouted in pain. “Stay” Was all Eda said as she held Luz there. Lucia was pushed farther into the wall. “We saw you idiots on the field! Are you two insane?!” Lucia grunts as she moves her head to speak, her nose bleeding from being slammed face-first into the wall. “Perra, what are you talking about- Ugh” Lucia tried to sit up but Lilith just pushed her back into the wall.
“You shifted in front of them, did you even stop to think about what would happen if everyone found out about what you two are? Found out about us?! It wouldn't just be the Hunters after us no no no it'll be everyone!” Lilith shouted, pissed off. “No one Saw anything I swear, Salix and Willow got us off the field before anything else happened, I swear!” Luz managed to say grunting in pain. “Good because they won't. If you even try to play on Saturday you'll be dealing with Us, Understand?” Eda said as she let go of Luz, Lilith shoved Lucia in the wall again before letting her go and leaving, both Nocedas panting out of breath trying to calm down. By the time Lucia was calm and ready to do some damage herself to Lilith, they were both gone.
Lucia Clicked her tongue cursing in Spanish and helped her sister up from the ground, looking around to see how the Hell The Clawthornes got into her room she saw the window, which was wide open, “FUCK man!” She growled literally as her eyes flashed gold, as now both Nocedas were being forced to not play on Saturday.
------------------------------------
The next day Luz and Lucia Were in the coach's office before school started. They are trying to get out of the game on Saturday mainly because they don't want to deal with the Clawthorne sisters. As they were explaining the coach's eyes widened, “What do you mean you two can't play on Saturday?” Lucia, still irritated from what happened last night, responded, “It means that we can't play Saturday.” Luz Stood there nervously as the coach was just standing there slack-jawed not wanting to believe it or accept it sat on her desk with her arms crossed staring at the Noceda Siblings with a pointed look.
“But you two couldn't wait to play the game especially now With your rivals benched!” Lucia Sighs in frustration, hating this situation, and repeats herself, “No coach…. We cannot play tomorrow” The coach tilts her head, “Yeah, I'm not following.” Lucia looked like she was about to smack the coach till Luz spoke, “We are having some personal problems and we don't want it let that get in the way of playing ya know?” The coach raised an eyebrow, “Is it a guy?” the coach asked and Luz and Lucia's eyes went wide, and shook their heads, faces red with embarrassment. “what- No nono-” Both Nocedas exclaimed, “Is it a girl?” The coach asked again but before they could answer the coach responded, “You know our Outfilder, Lunella is Gay…” Realizing this isn't going to go anywhere the Nocedas rolled their eyes and sighed.
Though the coach still tries to dissuade them from backing out on playing, “What y'all don't think she's cute?” The coach asked with a smile, “Not interested, '' Lucia and Luz said at the same time. “Then what is it? Drugs? Are you guys on the white powder? Because I knew a guy who knew a guy who was on that cocaine and ooh boy was that a fucking rollercoaster.” Okay totally distracted by the story the Noceda Siblings' heads tilted in confusion. “Uh, what happened to the guy?” Luz asked, “Oh he got cleaned then had a happy life till he went back on it” The coach shook her head.
Then the coach thought about it and sparked an idea on why the Nocedas didn't want to play. “Wait wait wait, are you afraid of getting hurt or whatever?” Lucia shook her head “No it's nothing like that, more like we don't want to hurt anyone else and possibly end their careers y’know?” The coach smiles a bit and bonks Lucia on the head with a rolled-up piece of paper, “Lucia you realize that's what happens in this fucking game right?” Lucia Rubs her head and looks irritated as she huffs out a sigh of frustration.
“Coach we just don't want to feel guilty about it I mean I already am” A complete lie by the way “Just can't play,” Luz said with a smile but she got hit as well with the rolled up paper, “Look I get it but You two are going to have to step up for tomorrow, Luz This will be your first game as captain and same goes for you Lucia I don't trust that Brook’s mind is in the right place because of her sister's injury, So think of this as the test run to see if I'll get you to that position that you want… Okay?” Luz and Lucia looked at the coach in surprise and nodded their heads. “Okay,” They both said, “Play the game, Guys.” The coach said nodding her head to them, And with that, They were dismissed.
—----------------------
After that, The siblings went into the hallway. Contemplating about tomorrow Lucia put a sucker in her mouth while they were in thought, I mean yes They were threatened about Playing but…. Why Should they not play this is their dream, this is what they wanted…. And they're not missing this for the Fucking World, because some stick-up werewolves said not to. Their phones vibrated in their pockets to get them out of their funk and they checked them. It was a message from their mom that was in their group chat and it read, ‘ Got the whole day off can't wait to see y'all play <3 XOXO Disfruten el resto de su día chicas!’ then a GIF of Kevin Hart Saying So excited. The siblings smiled and sent a couple of emojis and that's when they made a decision Fuck the Clawthornes but to an extent.
The Blights were coming down the staircase and walking towards them when they were texting their mom, The Nocedas looked up seeing them approaching, and waved Hi at them. “Yo” Edric And Emira said with a wave of their own, Luz and Amity Smiled at each other with a nod and Lucia did the same thing with Amelia, “Sup Ams,” Lucia said and The eldest Blight smiled, “Hey!” Luz and the others struck up a conversation while the two eldest siblings chatted, “Were you busy Noceda?” She pointed at her phone, “Oh no just Texting my mom she's going to watch Our game tomorrow she's excited.” Lucia said, leaning against the wall and moving the sucker to the other side of her mouth. “But hey, Never too busy for you Since you're still new and all.” Lucia gave a smile, “ Hm, I like the sound of that Rather get the Help from you than Brook” Lucia smirked, “Good” Amelia smiled with a giggle and adjusted her backpack, “Anyways, Gotta go to French with the Twins Unfortunately But You keep an eye on my Lil sister She has math with you two, Oh and Save us a spot at Lunch!”
The Eldest Blight Dragged Her Twin Siblings away from Them dragging them to Class, “Oh We'll be at the Game Tomorrow you two!” Emira Said Getting dragged away, “We'll be cheering you guys on!” Edric Said after his sister got the same treatment they rounded the corner. Luz and Lucia laughed at that as Amity Shook her head. “Alright, Squirts Let's go before we're Late.” They left for their class in haste. Amity followed then was reminded of something and spoke, “Oh we're supposed to be Hanging out after the Game, With You and Your sister and Skara, Brook, and Boscha I think she's there for pity…. But Bring your friends to make it more tolerable please” Luz Nodded, “Sure I'll ask them later, Now Onwards!”
—----------------------------—---------------
With a few minutes left before the 5-minute bell rang, Amilea forgot some stuff for her class and Brought her siblings with her so she could get it, She was putting in the Combination in on her lock in thought about something and grabbed her stuff closing the locker and Locking it going back to her siblings, Little did they know that a werewolf was watching them, His vision red like How Luz and Lucias were when they Changed in the locker room. As they were walking the Blight siblings felt a pair of eyes on them, they stopped and turned around looking for whoever was watching them. Not seeing anyone they looked at each other confused and a bit afraid, The 5-minute bell rang and shook them out of their bones startling them and they Headed to class running there.
—----------------------------------------
In Math Class Lucia was chosen as well as Skara to Solve a problem on the board, They were trying to Find The Missing angle using the Pythagorean Theorem, They were solving the equation on the board while everyone else was Waiting for their turn to get called for the next problem. That's when Skara Finally Spoke, “Noceda why is there a Rumor going around saying that you and your sister aren't playing Tomorrow?” Lucia Sighs, I have no idea but don't worry about it. We're playing tomorrow without question, Had to Get a little motivation from the coach to get our head back in the game.” Lucia Continues to Solve the Problem on the board Pausing occasionally to see if she is getting the Problem right, erasing any mistakes she made in the process.
“Good because as much as Bosha and Brook are good at the game they're not team players” she mumbles, “Plus Perfect opportunity to show Everyone what's good, Especially with Brook off her game worrying about her sister” Lucia scoffs already Aware of this, “Yea yea I know, finally getting to where we need to be in this sport,” Lucia said as she finished as well as Skara as they took their Seats. As they sat back down The teacher checked their work giving a nod of approval, “Nice work you two” he got up and eased the problem, writing up two more and called some other students up so they could solve it after doing that few times He passed out a worksheet for them to do For the remainder of the class.
—----------------------------------------
After class, Everyone headed to their Lockers, With a bye as they separated Luz and Lucia were just Vibing as they were Putting stuff away in their lockers, in their little world when suddenly, Willow and Salix appeared slamming their Lockers Closed startling them, “Merida! What the Hell?!” Luz and Lucia shouted, Salix didn't say anything as she dragged Lucia away Willow did the same as her Sister, “Aye aye aye Watch the shirt you're going to ruin it!” Luz said as she was dragged away. “Come here” Lucia gave a soft Growl to Salix, “Oh yeah sure as I'm getting dragged to where you want me! What do you want?” Lucia said as they were dragged to the bottom of a short stairway Salix pointed to where their dad was talking to the principal, “Can you tell us what they're saying please?” Willow asks Politely Lucia sighs and nods her head as she and her sister start to focus their hearing on the location of The Sherif and the principal. “Can you hear them?” Salix asked and she was punched in the arm by Willow, “Shut up!”
Salix rubbed her Arm with a frown, “I'm going to get you for that” Willow flipped her off and stayed quiet. The Noceda's ignored them as they continued to focus as all the sound around them started to fade away until they only heard the voices of the ones who they wanted to hear as if they were standing next to them hearing them. “I want everyone under the age of 18 to be in their Homes By 9:30 pm we’d like to initiate a curfew effective immediately,” Gilbert said To Principal Faust and the principal responded, “Look we don't want to scare the children -”
Lucia and Luz Stopped listening to their conversation and faced their friends. Salix looked like she was in pain and Willow had a smirk on her face. “Anyways if you two goofs are done they're instating a curfew most likely because of the body,” Lucia said as she and her sister shrugged, “That's too bad,” Luz said as Salix and Willow gasped in exasperation. Salix Smacked Lucia on the arm, in return, Lucia growled at her, “Really?” Lucia said but Salix put a finger to her mouth shushing her and effectively ignoring her Growling at the moment. “Unbelievable, I can't believe it. My dad is out looking for a wild animal while the people who killed the poor girl are legit right under their noses.” Luz Not liking where this was going spoke trying to Calm Lucia down, “Uh it's not like you can tell your pops the truth about Eda And Lilith, I for one do not want to get on their bad side.” Luz said as Willow and Salix nodded their heads in agreement with purpose then they smirked. “But we Can do something,” Willow said, making a face that Lucia and Luz know all too well. “Uh huh like what?” Lucia asked while glaring at Salix who still had their finger in her face, Would it be wrong to bite her best friend's finger off? Yes? No? Luz seriously didn't like where this was going, “Oh boy…” she mumbled “We find the other Half of the body Duh” Salix Said Smiling at Lucia. “Excuse me what!? Oh hell no” Lucia and Luz shouted at the same time. “I'm not doing that” Lucia continued “Yeah I don't think Eda or Lilith is going to like this at all….” Salix Smirk, “So what? You wanna play this is how you're going to play without issue.” Salix said and Willow nodded. The Nocedas sighed in annoyance.

Chapter Text
Second Chance Part 4: Let the games begin part 1
The group of friends were walking to the parking lot, Luz and Lucia were trying to persuade their best friends to do this stupid plan, Which went on deaf ears. “Looks like we're doing this…”
Luz Grumbles as they continue to walk. “Hey look at it this way, No more Clawthorns on your ass meaning You can play without issues,” Salix said. Lucia was about to respond but kept her mouth shut well because they were right.
“Damn, You're right,” Lucia muttered under her breath. Luz looked up to her sister in disbelief.
“ Uh Hello, are you insane? Do you realize that you're trying to put two werewolves in prison? What do you think they're going to do when they get out? Then what?” Luz shouted at them.
“damn, she got a point dude….” Willow said to her sister and Salix sighed in defeat.
“Fine, we'll think about it before we do this. We'll meet you at your place later on and make our decision and we'll go on from there okay?” Everyone nodded their heads in agreement said their goodbyes and went their separate ways, Luz and Lucia were walking down the trail heading home when two pairs of hands grabbed them and pulled them further into the trail into the woods.
“You guys suck at being werewolves, you know that?” A very familiar voice said with amusement.
“Unfortunately I have to agree with you there.” another familiar voice said but with stuck-up annoyance. Which the Noceda siblings recognized instantly.
“Eda” Luz said with slight nervousness in her tone.
“Lilith,” Lucia said with annoyance. “What do you want and can you let us go trying to breathe here?” Lucia responded as she slightly choked out because of the position that she and her sister were in.
“Making sure that what we said was taken seriously, Which I'm positive it hasn't” Lilith answered letting Lucia go as did her sister letting Luz go.
“Plus we're keeping an eye on your little friends, mainly the Blights.” Eda responded with a smirk, “ Which I for one am getting bored of Lilly” Eda said to her sister who responded with a scoff while looking at the both of them wide-eyed, while Lucia growled.
“They haven't done anything nor do they know anything! Leave them alone!” Lucia shouted at them, Luz feeling irritated as well.
“And stay the fuck away from Them!” Luz snarled. Both Luz and her Older sister looked like they were on the verge of shifting but Eda took charge quickly and ran up behind them holding their necks and putting pressure on a pressure point both Nocedas groaned in pain as they involuntarily kneeled on the ground. As Lilith walked up to them crouching down so that they're eye leveled.
“There's nothing that you two can do about it. You two think that you and your buddies can just look up “Werewolves” and you would get all your answers? Is that it?” Lilith gave them an incredulous look, her head tilted to the side a bit. Eda Still held them down, while pissed Luz and Lucia Stayed silent trying to keep themselves from changing. Lilith just looked at the siblings before them. Reminding her of Her and her sister now. She stared down at them with a calm but stern expression.
“Look you don't get it yet, but we are looking out for you two. Think about what would happen when you two are on the field… The aggression takes over…”
Lilith started to circle them as the Nocedas watched her movements, “Then someone pushes you too far and you snap, you attack your friends… your family, everyone there in that field because you couldn't control yourself, everyone's blood on your hands and you won't even remember that it happened.” Lilith stopped and flicked them on their foreheads. “This is your final warning, Am I understood? do not play the game.” Eda lets the Nocedas go and walks off with her sister.
The Nocedas watched as they left looking at each other once they were gone from view, their minds finally made up on their decision on what they were going to do, and they nodded before getting up and heading home.
—-------------------------------------------------------
At the Nocedas Household, The Park siblings just made themselves at home barging in and wasted no time going up to their best friend's bedroom, where they were working on their school work on their respective laptops, Salix Jumped on Lucia's bed and bombarded her with questions, “What did you find? How did you find it? And where did you find it?!”
Salix shot Lucia in the shoulder, which in turn caused Lucia to mess up on her assignment. Lucia Growled at her friend in annoyance. Luz looked up from her assignment and looked at Willow with an eyebrow raised. Willow looked at Luz and nodded, “We are on the Adderall but she took more than me Sooo….” Lucia Sighed and and closed her laptop, “While we were being manhandled by Eda and her sister I smelt something, as they were taking us to their place to chat, well we were near their place…”
Salix looked at Lucia like she grew a second head, “Wait what?! They caught you guys?”
“Weren't you guys just walking home when we left you alone? Are you guys okay at least?” Willow asked concerned for their friends, Luz nodded her head and gave a smile to her friend.
“we're fine, they didn't do anything crazy, they're still focused on the fact that we shouldn't play, that's it…. But something is there and it's most definitely buried somewhere, smelt blood” Luz said as she went back to finishing up her assignment, Then Lucia picked up on where she left off, “It most definitely could be the other half of the body or something else.” Lucia laid back on top of Salix, Salix in an uncomfortable position but went along with it.
“So What are we going to do?” Salix asked as Luz looked over to her sister with a look that asked "Are you sure you want to do this?” Lucia nodded before answering the question. “Let's take 'em down and then you two are going to help us with this wolfy situation so We don't lose ourselves while we're playing, we are not missing this opportunity to Outshine the Havenstars.” Luz nodded in agreement with her sister.
Willow nodded her head and sat down in a bean bag chair that Luz had, “We'll head out once you're finished with school work and we'll go find some bodies.”
——————————————————————
Later on in the day, The girls made their way to the hospital unsure of where they needed to go to get the info that they needed after a minute Salix gestured to a sign that showed the different directions to different parts of the hospital, Lucia and Luz looked at the sign and nodded heading to the morgue leaving the pads behind as lookouts.
Meanwhile, Luz and Lucia make their way to the morgue avoiding being caught by the nurses and doctors. Unfortunately, one doctor came out of a nearby room and looked at the Nocedas, they paid no mind to him and kept walking, leaving the doc alone to his own devices allowing them to go into the door to the morgue on their right.
Once inside the lights were off as the Nocedas siblings looked around leading the way to the metal cubbies where the dead lay comfortably, she passed by a door labeled Tinella Jones and looked at another Jane Ross “Partial” She whistled to Luz grabbing her attention, Luz heads over as Lucia opened up the cubby pulling out the drawer and removes the sheet that covered the body. The siblings steeled themselves as they took a deep breath inhaling the scent of the dead body.
Something in the back of their mind Surfaced and their eyes flashed Gold as a low growl was heard coming from them as the Wolf inside them made itself known ready for the hunt their features changed only slightly as claws formed and their ears were pointed and their fangs were visible, They pushed the drawer back inside and closed the cubby and left out keeping their head down as they made their way back to their friends.
In the lobby, Salix and Willow were sharing a very disturbing and graphic pamphlet about the human body and the reproductive system not noticing the Nocedas coming their way with a very different aura about them.
“Wow, who knew the Female body could do this…” Salix said and Willow nodded her head in agreement as they kept reading, then suddenly the pamphlet was ripped out of their hands which startled them so badly that they fell out of their seats Willow landed on top of her sister, who groaned in pain.
Lucia and Luz looked through the pamphlet with disgust and a bit of disturbance because they got that talk a long time ago and it was just as detailed. Which scared them she tossed the pamphlet to the side. “The scent is the same by the way,” Lucia said looking down at their friends.
“Also got this urge to find it I don't know if it's bloodlust or something but cannot sit still, I need to find it,” Luz said as she looked outside bouncing in place, Willow and her sister looked at them noticing their tensed posture like they were ready to pounce on the next person coming in, They looked at each other before getting up and heading out, “Well let's get out of here then and find the treasure, mateys,” Salix said, with a smirk while Willow groaned in annoyance as she got in the back of the car Luz and Lucia followed them as they put their heads out of the window, As they pulled out of the hospital parking lot the Werewolves told Salix where to go based on scent alone.
——————————————————————
Night has fallen, and Lilith and Eda leave their home to take care of some business, going into their respective vehicles A motorcycle for Eda and an all-black Chevy for Lilith they drive off, not realizing that The Noceda and Park Siblings are there in Salix’s car waiting for them to leave, Once the close was clear they drove closer to the property and took out their shovels as they got out the car. Luz and Lucia sniffed the area to a recently overturned patch of dirt.
Luz frowned and stopped when they got close to the pat of dirt and stopped, “Wait something is different here…” Luz said Lucia sniffed the air seeing what her sister was talking about, and frowned as well, “ She’s right” Lucia said Salix looked at them confused, “What do you mean by that?” Luz shrugged her shoulders, “ I don't know but it just doesn’t feel right,” Luz said and Lucia nodded in agreement like something was throwing off… They were silent but they continued to get close to the makeshift grave and began to dig once they got there.
Salix and Willow were digging in silence while Luz and Lucia kept watch, Luz being worried spoke up, “Uh... Guys, what do we do when they come back?” Luz asked, Salix who grunted while digging and looked at Luz, “Then we run like hell, and if they catch us then we pray,” Salix said as she dug until she hit something solid, “Hit something!” Salix said as she and her sister started to uncover what they found Luz and Lucia kept the lookout but looked over to see what they found. What they found was a twine of rope and began to untie the bindings Willow helped Her older sibling with the bindings, After a bit they managed to untie the rope to find a severed wolf's head.
Salix and Willow jumped out of the hole scared scurrying away, Luz and Lucia cringed at the sight of the wolf body that was fully visible, “What the actual Hell man?” Salix looked to Lucia, “I thought you said that you smelt blood as in human blood,” Willow looked at her sister, “Did you forget that they both said that something was different here? Idiot?” Salix glared at her sister for being a smart ass and was about to smack her upside her head but Lucia stopped her, “Let's cover this backup and focus on your sister later, Yeah?” Lucia pointed out while Luz was already digging the Wolf's body back up.
Lucia and the other two joined her but Salix spotted some purple flowers and went over to them. Willow looked over noticing her sister wasn’t there, “Hey get over here and help, Winona” Salix glared at her Sister, “Aye what did I say about calling me that? You brat, but I found some wolfsbane” Willow immediately stopped and went over to her sister as Salix began to pull the plant by the root, and to their surprise, they saw that the plant was attached to some rope and began to pull. They followed, The rope was connected to a burlap sack that was around the wolf’s head that was now getting buried, They continued to pull the rope which continued to unravel in a spiral which revealed something else.
Lucia watched her friends skeptically then looked over when she felt Luz Tugging at her jacket and pointing at what was inside the grave that they were trying to burry back up what they saw shocked them to the core, “Uh Guys,” Lucia called out to her friends, “what? what is it?” Salix asked heading over to her sister following behind her, “You two need to see this..” Luz said this time. Salix and Willow looked into the grave and gasped, “Holy shit…” Was all Salix said when she saw what was revealed low and behold it was the other half of the body that they were looking for on the night Luz and Lucia were bitten. “Well, shit we found it…” Willow said the others were still silent when she said that but Salix smacked her upside her head, “Ow!”
—----------------------------------------------
A few mornings later Lucia and Luz were leaning against some trees as they watched Lilith and Eda get marched out of their home in handcuffs, They looked over sensing a supernatural presence and spotted The Nocedas, Lilith had a hard scowl while Eda just smirked, “Well played pups well played” Eda said loud enough that Luz and Lucia heard with their supernatural hearing, they looked away as The Clawthornes were put in the back of the police car. Not even a second later Lucia noticed Salix and her sister walking out of the woods and went to the cruiser where the werewolves were, which was also unguarded because the officers were busy with the crime scene. “Wait a damn minute…” Lucia said while Luz shook her head already dreading what was about to happen, “Get back here!” Luci whispered yelling at the idiots that were her friends, which was ignored and Lucia grumbled. “Those idiots I swear….”
While Lucia was thinking about ways to kill her friend, Salix Willow snuck their way to the police car that The Clawthorns were in and entered through the front of the car facing the werewolves, “Okay before I begin my interrogation just to let you know we are not afraid of you I mean you can't do anything soo ha,” Salix said Lilith glared at her and Eda chuckled before Growling and snapping at her making Salix lean back from the caged off back seat with a yelp, Eda chuckled amused. “Uh huh, not scared my ass…” Eda said leaning back.
Willow shook her head at her sister's antics and focused on the Clawthorns, “Okay, spill, who was that girl and why did you kill them? I know Those two don't look like that when fully transformed” Willow asked she was going to continue but Lilith interrupted her, “You should be more worried about your friends than us two,” Lilith said rather irritated, at their predicament. Eda sighed in boredom, “Ah leave them alone Lilly, we got played by some teens, I’d say let them have their fun,” Eda then Looked at Willow and Salix, “Keep an eye on them, because there’s nothing you can do once they lose control and shift, You know what I'm talking about don’t cha?” Eda said with a serious tone that sent chills down their spines. Willow was about to say something but the door opened to the car and They were dragged out by the hoods of their jackets.
Willow and Salix yelped as their dad dragged them away from the car, “Ack- wait, Ow! Owowowowow!” they shouted once far away enough their dad let them go and glared at them, they stood at attention facing their dad, “Uh hey dad what brings you here” Salix said, Willow just groaned, “what in the seven hills do you two think you’re doing?!” Salix and Willow flinched, hearing their father shout at them, “Just trying to help sir…” they both said at the same time, Gilbert sighed, “Okay you want to help then explain to me how you two came across the other half of the body?” Salix and Willow looked at each other then at their father, “So remember when we were looking for the other half of the body the other night? Yea, that’s how” Salix said.
Their Father pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head with a sigh, “Go…” He said and His kids booked it back to the car to where Luz and Lucia were, “So did you idiots get in trouble or what?” Lucia asked with a smirk, Salix glared at her and Lucia chuckled as they got in the car.
—------------------------------
Salix sped out of the woods with everyone in the car, Lucia was scrolling through her phone searching for anything about wolfsbane being used as a burial /ritual plant, “I got nothing about Wolfsbane being used as such things,” Lucia said Salix hummed in thought, “Maybe its something only werewolves use when you die, but you might have a special skill like turning into an actual wolf, that would be cool.” Lucia and Luz sigh getting tired and overwhelmed with their new life, aka being a werewolf, “we’ll put that on our list on how to be a werewolf” Lucia said, “And how the heck are we supposed to play this game?” Lucia said irritably, Salix looked at her friend through the rearview mirror, “Hey, we're going to figure it out okay? We got your backs, plus I think you can do that wolf thingy, that would be super cool!” Salix shouted excitedly.
“I guess that wuld be cool,” Luz said looking out the window, “But Lucia is right-” Lucia growled and shouted out interrupting Luz, “Shut up!” Luz frowned at her sister, “what's wrong with you?” Luz asked, annoyed by her sister's irritation, which upset her, “Whoa, chill out and stop what?” Willow asked, “Stop talking about werewolves, I fucking get it it's cool but I’m NOT in the fucking mood to be all fine and dandy about when everything isn't fine!” Lucia said breathing heavily and gripping her pants wincing feeling a headache forming, Willow turned towards them in concern, “Whoa, you okay Luc?” Lucia snarled and responded her tone dark, “Im far from fucking okay… and you! I have no idea why you're acting like everything is fine!”
Luz flinched at her sister shouting but grew irritated as well reacting to her sister's distress, “I’m not fine I'm not fine with this either!” Breathing heavily as she shouted at her sister Luz growled at her sister which Lucia Growled back, Willow frowned noticing their eyes changing from their normal color to gold, Uh oh… “You know you two are going to have to accept this sooner or later,” Salix said more focused on driving than the state their friends are in, Lucia and Luz doubled over and groaned in pain, “fuck…” Lucia snarled, “Salix.. You need to pull over, Something is up” Willow said.
Salix Pulled over without hesitation, Luz was holding her chest as if she was having a panic attack breathing heavily, “ I… I can't breathe…” Luz said her voice sounded distorted like it was when they transformed in the Locker Room, Lucia shouted as the sound of bones cracking was heard, “Oh shit salix said as Willow grabbed the backpack and opened it pulling out the Wolfsbane that was back at the Clawthorne house, “Salix did you seriously keep this, this stuff is deadly to them!” Willow shouted at her sister, “What was I supposed to do?!” Salix shouted, “Oh I don’t Know leave it where it was!” The Nocedas grunted in pain as the plant that was slowly poisoning them by forcing their Wolf out, “GET RID OF IT!” Lucia shouted at them, Salix grabbed the bag and threw it in the opposite direction of them, Luz and Lucia frantically unbuckled themselves, Lucia kicked the door open and ran into the woods, Luz following behind her. Salix cursed, “Fuck! Willow Buckle up we are going to look for some wolves!” Salix Closed the doors hopped in and drove off, “where do you think they are going?”Willow asked, “Either to kill someone or go to the person that they care about..” Salix answered.
_________________________________
It was evening now, Just a few hours before The baseball game Amity and her Eldest sister Amilea were unpacking their belongings, well Amilea was helping Amity unpack her stuff she Already had her room ready and set up just the way she liked it. They were chatting about how they feel about the town so far, “you know this place ain't so bad, I hope we get to stay longer this time around,” Amilea said while putting some pictures up and some posters. “Yeah, hopefully, I'm tired of moving from one place to another,” Amity said putting her clothes away, unnoticed Lucia And Luz who were in their hybrid forms but more wolfish than before but still retaining their human looks, were on their roof, Something or a specific feeling told them to go here make sure that they're safe, their ears twitched hearing them chat they slid down slightly to get a closer look.
“I’m telling you Lucia and her crew are more interesting than Brook and Boscha’s, but I swear We’ve seen Salix and her little sister before..” Amilea said now sitting at Amity’s desk that was set up with her books and school supplies, “I mean maybe it's been so long if we had plus all the moving… makes it hard to remember… that would be cool though.”Amity nodded in agreement with her sister moving to the window not paying attention to what was going on outside the Nocedas moved away from the window when they heard her coming close. Amity Closed the curtains, The Nocedas looked back at the window frowning when they saw the curtain covering their view but saw something else, they saw themselves.
Both of them now had more of their fur covering their arms and some on the side of their face like before their face had more of a wolf-like tone to them but with their human features, their ears were elongated as well and twitched at the slightest sounds, they were startled at their reflections and scurried away jumping off the roof and began to run but an SUV that pulled up into the driveway had hit them stopping them in their tracks as the SUV halted to a stop, as the siblings hit the windshield and slid off the car with a yelp and a groan as they laid there on the ground.
“Oh Crap,” Alador said getting out of his car and helping them up, “I'm so sorry are you girls okay?” He asked but got no response because Lucia and her sister were still in a daze, besides an occasional groan that told him that they were alive. The front door opened and his children rushed outside to see what happened, “Dad what happened?” Emira said rushing to see if the Nocedas were okay, fortunately, they reverted to normal when they got hit by the car. “They just came out of nowhere I swear!” Alador said frantically, “So were you trying to kill them His oldest asked him with a glare. “No nononono of course not! Why would I do such a thing?” Alador said raising his hands in surrender as his other two helped Luz and Lucia to their feet.
The Nocedas shook their heads getting out of the funk that they were in and looking around confused about where they were, they heard voices that they recognized but couldn’t put their finger on it till they saw Alador, they tried to move back in fear but was held by Emira Amity and Edric, Amilea was confused but then realized that was probably scared from being hit by a car, “Look you traumatized them,” Alador looked at the Nocedas worried for their health, then back at his Eldest, “Im telling you they just came out of nowhere in the driveway…” Amilea shook her head disappointed in her dad as his head just dropped and his shoulders low.
“It's okay sir, it's our fault for not paying attention to where we were going,” Lucia said wanting to get out of there quickly, Amity frowned at Luz while Emira Edric and Amilea looked at them in concern, “We are fine Amit, just uh wanted to make sure you guys were coming but chickened out at the last second is all” Luz chuckled nervously Alador was worried still but let it go for now, “If you're so sure then okay, then theses nothing to worry about…” He said the other siblings go, “Yep! Well, we gotta go Our game starts in a few and we don't want to be late!” Lucia said frantically scooting away Luz doing the same, Alador saw this as an opportunity for redemption, “Oh well let me give you a ride there since we all are going, don’t want to get you two in trouble…” Amilea took the keys from her dad, “I’m driving though you get the passenger seat” Alador frowned and entered the car while Lucia and Luz gulped as they had no choice but to enter the car with a family of Hunters, Great…
_______________________________
In the locker room Luz and Lucia are now in their Baseball team Home Uniform gear as they are putting their regular clothes away in their Lockers, Lucia closes her locker door and places her head there lost in thought about what happened, “What the hell happened and why did we look like that…?” Lucia said in a whisper. Luz heard her with a frown on her face, “I don't know but we weren’t in control once the wolfsbane was there i don't remember anything after Salix threw the bag” Luz said and Lucia sighed lifting her head.
“You ready Bubba?” Luz smiled at her sister, “Ready as I’ll ever be” Luz said as they both headed out of the locker with their bat helmets and gloves. They were stopped by their friends Willow and Salix, who had frowns on their faces, “Look we are playing and that's final, This is the change we get before Coach chooses the captains, we are not missing out on this..” Lucia said and Luz nodded in agreement, “This is the only thing that makes us feel normal you know?” Luz said, The Parks sighed nodding in understanding just keep your emotions in check… remember that's the trigger..” The siblings nodded and then walked onto the field.
Out on the field, The bleachers were full of spectators ready for the first game of the season, Cheers and whistles were heard as everyone was ready to see their high school team The Banshees come out onto the field. Our kid's parents were in the bleachers cheering for their kids, while the Blights cheered their friends on, Camilla and Gilbert were wearing school merch cheering the loudest as they were wearing their kid's numbers on their shirts, a crazy custom jersey that was expensive to get. “Let's Go Banshees!” Camila shouted while Gil blew an air horn as The Baseball team came out of their tunnel.
Gus and Skara were in the announcement booth, “Alright Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to Our First game of the Season! We shall begin here in a few minutes, so all you watch can grab a snack booth and enjoy the Game!” Gus said from the booth, “All the money we get today will help fund our school clubs and essentials as well as gear for our very own Baseball team” Skara said as Gus nodded his head with a smile, “Good luck out there team and show em whos boss!” They both shouted in the mic.
_____________________
Out on the field, The coach and Assistant coach went up to their team after talking to the ref and sat on the bench, “Alright ladies, you know the drill first games are Mix teams starting off the season, Since it's a home game we are up first, Salix youll be the catcher for today's game when we are out on the field, Lucia you are starting up to bat first, everyone else will go after you, Got it?”
Everyone exclaimed their “Yes Coach” and everyone geared up doing some practice swings and catches, Salix and Willow did their handshakes with their friends ending with a fistbump, “Good luck, and Hit a Home run to show em’ what they’re up against” Salix said, Lucia puffed her chest out in pride, “You got it!” Salix nodded and left leaving he Sister with Luz and Lucia, “Please for the love of god keep it in check, please, The Blights are watching and so is your mom, No pressure but you got this” Willow said Patting Luz on the shoulder then going to her sister.
_____________________
After a few minutes, the national anthem was played and the game began. Hexside versus Saint. Ep. Lucia is up to bat And Gus and Skara spectate and give out their commentary, “Alright Hexside! Let the game begin! Let's give it up for number 23! Lucia Noceda!” The crowd cheers as Lucia steps onto the plate her Walk-up song starts to play . Lucia pointed her bat to the fence and then got in her ready stance, “Lucia is up and ready to bat, She’s given the pitch,” Gus announced Lucia Hit the ball as it came towards her, “And It's going… Going… going… out of the Park!” Skara shouted, what a home run to start the game by Lucia Noceda!” The Crowd cheers as Lucia runs the Bases, once she makes it to the home base she meets up with Salix and does their Secret handshake ending it with a fist bump, and then faces the crowd giving a bow before heading to the dugout the others pat her on the back or fist bump her.
With the Hype that Lucia pulled off hitting the first Home run of the night, The crowd was cheering like no tomorrow as the next batter, Brook, came up to bat, “Brook try setting up for a grand slam!” The coach shouted to her, “We have to take advantage of our lead!” Brook nodded at her coach and she got up to bat, Skara played the Walk Up song for Brook as Gus announced Brook’s number, “Next up to bat is No one other than Brook Crowe, number 07!”
The crowd cheers for Brook as she steps up to the plate, Skara comments on what's happening on the field as the song fades out. The Pitcher pitches the ball and Brook hits the ball far enough that she makes it to third base she smirks at the opposing team as they try and fail to get her out when she was going to third, Salix, already knowing the plan was up next, “Everyone give it up for our number 5 Wionna Park!” Gus said as Salix Cringed as her walk-up song came on she swung her bat like a sword pointing it towards the pitcher and winked at them before getting in her ready position as the music faded out, the pitcher launched a fastball that curved once it got halfway Salix saw this and readjusted herself before hitting the ball, she sprinted as the crowd cheered and slid to second base just in time as the second basemen caught the ball.
“Two bases are filled, zero outs, Hexside is in the lead by one!” Skara said as they figured out what was about to happen, “It seems that Hexside has a plan and it's working so far can they pull it off?” Gus said this time as Willow was putting her helmet on and grabbing her bat, “Willow you know what to do and Luz You finish it off so get ready” The coach said and both nodded as Willow walked out, “Here comes our next batter, Willow Park number 15!” Willows song began to play as she made her way to the home plate to bat. Once the song faded out Willow got in her ready stance. The pitcher decided to play dirty, once the fastball came she felt that it was coming straight for her, so she scooted back and let the ball get into the strike zone so it wouldn’t hit her.
The Umpire called the strike, Everyone who supported Hexside boo’s at the itcher seeing the foul play, Salix who was watching glared but looked over to the dugout seeing Luz and Lucia tense their faces in a cold glare staring at the pitcher, who paid no mind to them, “Better be careful there Pitcher you don't want to start a fight during the first game!” Salix shouted at the pitcher chuckling, The pitcher still ignored them and did the same thing again Willow ducked this time avoiding the ball, The Umpire called a ball then turned to the pitcher, “ Watch yourself now or I’ll switch you out” he said and went back to his spot, Once again once willow was ready the pitcher thew the ball but this time it hit Willow on her shoulder she cursed at the pain and moved away from the home plate. Everyone in the stands looked about ready to jump the fence and beat the pitcher but kept their cool and just shouted at the pitcher.
Everyone in Hexside Dugout began to shout at the pitcher, meanwhile, Luz and her sister looked about ready to kill him no one could hear their growling amongst the shouting, Luz looked more pissed off than Lucia, Once the Umpire called the HBP Willow walked to first base rubbing her shoulder. Her sister looked over in concern but Willow just put a thumbs up to assure her that she was okay. Willow then turned to the dugout giving her werewolf friends who looked just about ready to tear the pitcher to shreds a thumbs up to calm them down, Gus called out the foul play while the rest of the spectators cheered Willow on. Luz was next still pissed off from what happened grabbed her bat and went out on the field, her eyes were glowing gold softly but no one noticed, as Gus called out Luz's number which was number 7, and had her song playing as she got to the home plate. Luz glared daggers at the pitcher which scared them and at that moment she knew that she messed up, Luz Gripped her bat tightly as she was in her ready stance
The pitcher steeled themselves and pitched the ball throwing a curved fastball bat didn’t matter as Luz hit the ball, she watched the ball fly out of the park she and the others on the plates ran to home as the Grand slam was made making Heside take the lead by four more points, As luz touched the home plate she tapped it like Cody Rodes then did the I'm watching you gesture to the pitcher before putting on a smile and joining her teammates.
_____________________________
After gaining a few more points keeping the lead steady and relaxing a bit the game progressed fine the pitcher was subbed out after being called out again, thank gods, though St. Ep caught up with a few lucky shots, the game was now coming to an end as it's the last inning, Hexside is in the lead, 9-3 just two more out and the game is over, Still upset from what happened Luz and Lucia were at the bases while willow was on the outfield with Luella and Salix was catching and Brook was pitching, Luz was bouncing in place still seeing that willow was holding her shoulder wincing when she was rolling it, Luz growled softly she felt her fangs extend the person she was guarding was slightly nervous and moved slightly away from her Brook looked seeing the teammate from Saint. Ep shied away from Luz furrowed her brow in confusion but paid no mind.
Alador who was watching what was going on noticed the movements of the opposing team player, and hummed in thought, “Come on guys you got this..” Camila said watching then looking over to the time 1;30 left in the inning, “Let's go Hexside!” The Blight children cheered out causing the crowd to join in, Once she was ready Brook pitched the ball, but the batter missed and got a strike, Salix threw the ball back to Brook, and she fiddled with the ball once she caught it she looked to salix seeing her form a hand sign and threw a Slurve as the ball curved to the right into the strike zone causing another strike for saint. Ep, Brook caught the ball again held the ball, and then threw a cutter ball, this time the batter hit the ball Brook cursed under her breath as she watched the ball, Willow followed the ball and caught the ball causing the first out then saw the other runner getting close to third.
Willow threw the ball but since her shoulder was hurt it didn’t go far Lucia caught it and She saw Luz Staying on her tail, “Luz!” She called out and threw the ball with such speed the ball was a blur, Luz caught it and slid to third not realizing her claws formed as she slid there at the same time as the opposing player, dust clouded around them as the Umpire came to them making the smoke disperse everyone was on the edge of their seats waiting for the verdict.
Luz’s foot touched the base plate first before the Saint Ep. player, “OUT!” called the umpire and everyone cheered as they rushed the field cheering for their first game victory. Their team crowded around them, Lucia and Luz checked on Willow including Salix, Seeing her holding her shoulder still, “You okay wall flower?” Salix asked, “ Some ice and some rest and I should be okay, I think I'll go see Ms. Noceda once things calm down,” Willow said and looked at Who clenched her jaw as well as her fist tight, “Luz?” Willow called out to her friend in concern, then noticed Luz's eyes. Luz's mind was running a mile a minute with one thought going through her mind, They hurt her! how dare they? I’ll kill em I’ll kill them kill them kill them…
“Shit, Salix check Lucia,” Willow said and noticed Lucia was reacting to her little sister's anger at Willow's injury, “Come on let's go,” Salx said dragging Luz, and Lucia away just in time as the spectators went over to congratulate their team, they were able to slip by Camila Gilbert and The Blights, Willow stayed behind in confusion wondering Why Luz was reacting that way a few thought came to her head, one seemingly just came out of nowhere made her blush.
Gilbert and co made their way to his daughter and congratulated her on their victory, Willow smiled and thanked them and when Camila was looking for her kids Willow answered, they went to grab their stuff and wash up Salix went with them,” The half lie escaped her mouth easily as butter and Camila nodded in understanding. “How is your shoulder? Carino” Willow forced a smile, “I'll be fine but it hurts a lot” Camila nodded come by to the hospital later so I can check you might have a sprain” Willow nodded then her dad's phone rang Gilber excused himself from the group and answered the phone, “uh-huh.” Willow saw her dad's face turn to concern, “Papa what’s wrong?” Gil holds his finger up to His youngest, telling her to wait as he’s trying to listen to whoever is on the phone. Meanwhile, Amity and Amilea sneak off to find The Nocedas and Salix.
________________________________________
Meanwhile, with Salix and the Two werewolves, Salix rushed Luz and Lucia into the locker room they staggered inside and fell on their knees panting heavily once again and groaning as their transformation happened again, Salix went to grab a bat again and kept her distance as Luz got up and her claws tore the metal from the locker her claw marks were visible as she shouted in pain staggering to the showers, Luz made her way to the sink to keep herself balanced but couldn’t compose herself but reared her fist back and punched the Glass having it shatter on the floor.
Salix hides behind the coach's desk and waits it out then hears Amilea and Amity call out their name, “Salix? Lucia?” Amilea called out, “Luz?” Amity said as they went down the dark corridor, Salix stayed hidden as she didn’t hear anything from Luz or Lucia, “Shit” She cursed under her breath and peeked out not seeing Her transformed friends she rolled to the side of the lockers as soon as Amity and her sister walked in the locker room, unbeknownst to all three that are in there Luz and her sister was hunting them silently onto of one of the vents their vision red with bloodlust, the transformed siblings watch them, The sound of rustling from above startled the siblings and looked up seeing nothing there.
The Blight sisters have their backs towards the lockers on the other side Salix doing the same with the bat in her hands both parties peek around the corner and shout once they see each other, Salix covers her mouth immediately and tells the Blights to do the same, As they heard scratching on the floor, The blights now scared look around frantically hearing the noise, Salix turns seeing the moonlight noticing that it's halfway full, Where are the Nocedas?’ Amillea asked and Salix shrugged, We heard a noise and they went to check it out and I haven’t seen them since..” Salix lied she knew where they were but was not telling them anything. They heard rusting again, “I am going to check the showers they probably hid there, Stay quiet,” The blights nodded and hid somewhere. Salix rounding the corner to the showers saw one friend and immediately hit them in the head.
“Ow! Salix what the hell?” Lucia shouted, Salix sighed in relief and Amilea went over hearing Lucia's voice Amity was freaking out, “Where is your sister?” She asked, but before Lucia could answer, Amilea came up to them, “Are you okay?” Lucia tilted her head in confusion then was elbowed in the stomach, “Oh! Oh yeah, I'm fine sorry the adrenaline from the game had me act all weird sorry.” Amilea nodded in understanding.
With Amity still hidden peeked out from her hiding spot and saw Luz who was not transformed look back at her, Amity screamed and so did Luz causing her to get punched in the face, The three older siblings heard this and went over to check on them with haste when they got there they saw Luz was holding her nose with amity apologizing profusely and Luz telling her its okay.
The Elder siblings sighed in relief, “You four did good out there” Amilea told them continuing their conversation, “Thanks, it was fun seeing you guys cheer us on” Salix said, “Hopefully Willow is okay..” Salix said and Amity noticed Luz tense up at Willow's name and grabbed her hand calming her down, “She’ll be okay she seems like a tough girl” Amity said. Luz nodded at her words, it was a comfortable silence then Amilea and her sister decided to go back to their dad at the same time when Willow walked into the locker room moments later, The blights gave their congrats and left. Once they left Willow frowned, The three friends noticed this and frowned, “What’s up?” Willow sighed, “ Well they examined to body Killer was an animal meaning…” The other's eyes widen, “The Clawthorns are free…” Salix said she heard Luz and Lucia growl in irritation “damn it!” they shouted, “ Wait here's the kicker they found out who it was her name was Evelyn Clawthorne,” Salix furrowed her brow, “Clawthorne?” Willow sighed nodding, Eda’s and Lilith’s Aunt…” Everyone cursed under their breath at the info.
____________________________________
Brook who stayed behind on the field examined the spot where Luz slid to victory seeing jagged claw marks in the dirt, confused about why that was there took a picture of it, and put her phone away, she sensed someone was watching her and turned to look seeing Eda sisting in the bleachers and her sister leaning against them watching her, Eda had her head tilted with a smirk while Lilith just stared at her, they stared at each other for a long moment before Leaving Eda following behind her Older sister, Brook is going to get to the bottom of this mystery and find out Why the Nocedas are the way that they are now…
Notes:
Willow got injured and That triggered Luz and her sister's transformation, Willow wondered why Luz reacted like that but she might have an idea as to why. Lilith and Eda might have to deal with the Nocedas, later Do I see some relationships forming?!

Chapter Text
On a cool crisp night in Graves Field, A man was running for his life through the woods as two dark figures were chasing him. “Shit shit shit shit!” he exclaimed as he ran he saw the high school ahead picking up the pace and ran into the parking lot as the fluorescent lights flicked ominously. The beasts growled behind him as they caught up to him, splitting off so they could catch him, staying on him while the other split off jumping on the top of the busses trying to cut him off.
The guy makes his way through the maze of buses and leans against the door of one before slowly opening it and heading inside his bus to hide. Once inside, the man backed away from the door and sat in the aisle, catching his breath. The sounds of Growling claws against metal shake him to the core as he tries to stay calm, but fear has gripped his soul, making it hard to calm down. A thud from above jolted him out of his thoughts the sound of metal tearing open the emergency room access was being torn off. He backed away frightened but the back of the bus was forced open, due to the lighting behind the creature all he saw were a pair of golden eyes glaring at him. He shouted in fear and tried to run out of the bus but the other creature came into view growling at the man crouched down on all fours.
Trapped, the man desperately looked for a way out. He looked up and saw the roof, and in a desperate attempt, he tried to jump up to grab ahold of the roof but was pulled down by one of the creatures. He grunted in pain as he fell landing on his chest as he was dragged by the creature behind him. He grabbed onto the bottom of the seat to stop himself from getting grabbed but the other one bit his arm greeting a bloody mess as he yelled in pain then with a wet rip his hand was torn off by the jaws of the creature. Not willing to give up that easily he faced the beast and kicked it in its face so it could release him. He got what he wanted and the beast let go with a yelp. He then climbed over the seats trying to head for the entrance door but he was grabbed again by the creature covering his face and he was pulled back as the two beasts growled and dragged him back into the darkness as he yelled as he was torn apart.
At the break of dawn, Both Luz and Lucia woke up in the forest nearby covered in blood. They looked around and saw each other. Eyes widened in shock they panicked and ran home.
_________________________
It was morning when the bell rang as school started, Lucia and Luz were telling their best friends Salix and Willow about their dream as they walked down the hall heading to their class, “So did you guys kill him or nah?” Salix asked in morbid interest. Lucia is begging to question how in the heck she became friends with this weirdo. Luz answered for her sister with a shrug, “We woke up in the forest again before we could find out, though we did wake up breathing heavily and sweating… covered in dirt and something else… I don't remember though… it felt so real…… I’ve never had a dream like that before…” Willow Looked at Luz eyebrow raised, “Really? Shit, I have but it doesn’t end with a murder though!” Willow said with a laugh. Luz blushed and looked away, “I didn’t need to know that! From your sister yes but you oh god i think imma be sick..” Luz facked dry heaving. Willow went over and put her friend in a headlock before moving ahead from their siblings.
Salix and Lucia watched them go, still keeping an eye on them, “So what do you think?” Lucia asked her best friend. Salix scratched her head in thought,” Hmm, maybe your wolves are restless or something…” She shrugs, “But maybe you two should, you know, think about getting a teacher aka a beginners class on how to be a werewolf?” Salix looked at her friend with an eyebrow raised Lucia scoffed already knowing who she was talking about and walked ahead of them with a frown Salix caught up to her grabbing her hand and making Lucia stop, “Hey I know we got them tossed in jail but, but I and Willow can only do so much but what you two told us could mean many things you might be losing control or you need to probably do som for your beast side… plus it felt like it happened right?” Salix asked. Lucia looked at her sighing and nodded.
They continued to the next part of the building. When they opened the doors they saw Willow and Luz looking out the window with a look of fear and shock on their faces. They ran over to see what they were looking at and saw the Bus bay where the sheriff's department had taped off one of the buses marking it as a crime scene. The back of the bus was splattered in blood and the top of the bus was ripped off as well as the emergency exit door. It looked like it was ripped off its hinges barely hanging on. A crime scene photographer was taking pictures of the scene, including one of the seats that had been clawed open.
Salix looked at her friend and her sister with the same look of exasperation and shock, “I think we did that…” Lucia said, clutching her hands into a fist and glaring outside at the scene. Luz on the other hand looks like she’s about to throw up from guilt, fear, and shame.
_________________
After rushing to the bathroom fixing Luz up and calming Them down enough they were gathering their things for class. Lucia was breathing heavily panicking from seeing the crime scene and the fact that she couldn’t remember what happened at all that night made her fall deeper in her panic attack, It seemed that Luz was reacting as well to her sister's panic as she slid down the locker to sit down pulling her knees to her chest as her hand gripped the bottom locker. Lucia had braced herself against the locker, her head resting against the cold metal hoping that it would ground her to calm her down Willow and Salix tried to help them as best they could but their voices were muffled to their ears.
Due to the angle of their positioning, Their friends couldn’t see that their eyes had turned gold after a long moment, Both Noceda’s yelled and punched the locker doors with so much force that it dented breaking the combination lock to the point where it can’t close properly any longer. Somehow by the gods who were watching them, no one noticed this and the Noceda’s snapped out of their funk from the numbing pain from hitting the locker. Willow and her sister backed away when that happened frightened about the display of panicked rage they had shown scared them.
Lucia kept standing there her breathing slowed to a normal pace as she sighed. Her ear twitched hearing movement beside her. She looked over noticing Salix leaning against the locker with her arms crossed in her signature relaxed demeanor she gave a soft smile to Lucia whose eyes still had flex of gold in them. Willow did the same but held Luz’s unoccupied hand to let her know she was next to her. They sat in that comfortable silence till the scratch of the PA system made the newly turned werewolves cover their ears and growl in annoyance.
“Attention students, This is Principal Bump speaking. I know you all are wondering about the incident that occurred last night to one of our buses…” Amity and her siblings made their way over to them waving hi and listening to the PA system. “While the police are at work to determine what happened Classes will still proceed as scheduled. Please don’t Skip classes or you will be punished and enjoy the rest of your day students.” Bump said as he ended the announcement Students were disappointed about the results. The blights were lost but shrugged, and Amity smiled at the sitting luz and sat on the opposite side of her, “You guys okay?” She asked as she saw her sisters and brother Chat with Lucia and Salix.
Luz nodded with a soft smile, “Yeah I'm fine just saw something that made me uncomfortable is all…”Luz said truthfully and Willow was still holding her hand Amity frowned at that and held Luz's other hand, “If you want to talk about it you can always talk to us about it” Amity said with a smile. Luz smiled a bit more as well as Willow noticing her friend's mood change. “I’ll keep that in mind, Now enough about me let's chat.”
Both parties chatted when the warning bell rang and The Blights had to head to class. “Save us a spot at Lunch okay?” Amelia said with a wave and the others nodded with a wave watching them leave, unfortunately, the Crowe sisters had gotten into their line of sight. Boscha unfortunately noticed and sneered at them, “What are you looking at?” She asked with an insulting tone. But Her line of sight was blocked by other students heading to class so she couldn’t see Salix, Willow, and Luz making fun of her before heading to class.

In chemistry class, Our friends were sitting next to each other at a two-person desk listening to the lesson that Vitimir Harris was teaching, writing notes on the whiteboard while a vial of clear liquid hung over a Bunsen burner. They were taking notes while talking about what Luz and Lucia could have done last night. “Maybe it was our blood?” Luz asked with looks her way,
“Okay, maybe not…” Luz shrunk into herself and went back to taking notes but was still listening to the conversation. “Most definitely could be animal blood," Willow said with a shrug. “Maybe you guys caught a deer or something and wanted to stash it somewhere…” Lucia looked at her friend's younger sister “And what exactly do you save it for later and eat it raw?” Willow shrugged glaring at Lucia, “Maybe I don’t know you two don’t remember a thing!”
Willow whispered, unfortunately, that caught Vitimirs attention as he looked at Willow, “Ms. Park if that is your definition of a hushed whisper you might want to pull the headphones out every once in a while, Maybe you should separate from your table?” Willow groaned in Moved her seat upset. Grumbling under her breath. “Let me know if the separation anxiety kicks in…” He said with a smirk continuing his lesson.
Luz switched her seat to sit by Willow who smiled and they both paid attention to the lab. Luz felt a pair of eyes on her and turned to see Boscha staring at her but she rolled her eyes and ignored her. One of the students looked over at the window and was distracted by what was going on outside. Suddenly they stood out of their seats rushing over to the window to get a better look.
“Hey! I think they found something!” the student shouted and the rest of the class gathered around looking outside the window including Lucia and Salix and Luz and Willow. Outside in the parking lot, an ambulance is parked at a corner with its lights and sirens on, and two paramedics are quickly wheeling a stretcher with a middle-aged adult man on it towards the open doors in the back of the ambulance. “Isn’t that Mr. Hawkins?” One student asked and others murmured in realization. Luz and Lucia looked horrified as they glanced at their friends who looked at them, their eyes furrowed, then looked back at the window hearing the man Scream causing them to jump startled.
Luz backed away back to the middle of the class holding her chest. Willow went over to try and comfort her, “Hey it's okay he is still alive, which is good he’s not dead, breath Luz you cannot change in here…” Luz looked up at her friend with a frown, “but we did that Willow…”Luz said in dismay. Now there's proof that she and her sister did that last night. She doesn’t know what to do. Lucia on the other hand knew the decision that she had to make. “I’m not going to like this one bit…” Lucia said with a sigh.
____________
It was now lunch, Lucia and the crew were at their table outside eating their lunches as they continued their conversation, “But dreams aren’t memories Lucia” Salix said to Lucia as she took a bite out of her Lunch which was bibimbap and a side of cheesy rice cakes, Lucia was eating a leftover meal of tamales and beans and rice with a red velvet cookie. “Then it wasn’t a dream for them… but something happened and We can’t remember what, that's what is bothering Luz, and there's only one way to get the answers that we need.”
Luz, hearing what her sister said, didn't like where this was going, “Are we seriously going to ask for help from them after we put them in jail?” Luz asked her sister. “Yes, you saw that they have control of their beasts. They didn’t transform at all. We either ask for help or we will do the same thing again,” Lucia said sharply glaring at her sister who glared back but as they thought about it her big sister was right… Eda and Lilith are the only ones who could help them. Sighing in defeat Luz went back to eating her lunch which was the same as her sisters.
Willow gasped remembering something, “Holy shit weren’t we supposed to go out Bowling WIth Amity and her siblings and Boscha tonight? You two need to figure this out by tonight…” Willow took a bite out of her bulgogi bowl as her sister added more veggies and an egg yolk to her bowl. As if on cue Skara came as well as Gus came and sat at their table, “Figure what out?” Skara asked Starling.
“Figuring out homework for Ms. Hettie, No biggie” Skara nodded then Amity and her siblings came sitting at their table Amity sat in between Luz and Willow while Her older sister sat between Salix and Lucia the twins sat across from them then Some other popular kids joined in including Boscha and her sister. “Okay first of all what's the reason behind you two being here?” Salix asked. Brook scoffed, “We are here to talk about the bowling alley…”
“I'm here to talk about what happened in the bus parking lot! I heard they said it was an animal attack” Gus said then Skara jumped in, “I heard it was a cougar” Boscha chimed in her two senses after taking a bit of her sandwich, “I heard it was a mountain lion…” she said with a shrug taking another bite of her sandwich.
That gave a pause to everyone who looked at the youngest Crowe. “dude you know what a mountain lion is also called right? It's a cougar it's the same fucking thing!” Lucia said. Boscha just rolled her eyes at her and kept eating. Lucia was about to do something else but was pulled down by both Salix and Amelia, “It's okay Noceda… Crowe’s stupidity is hereditary” Salix said patting Lucia on the head like a puppy, Lucia does not, not like it. She grumbles under her breath as Luz rolls her eyes.
“Anyway… it doesn’t matter the guy was probably some homeless guy who was going to die anyway,” Brook said the others gave her a look that she ignored Gus on the other hand was scrolling through his phone about the info about the attack, His eyes widen when he sees the info, “Actually, I just found out who it is, check it!” Gus placed his phone in the middle of the table so everyone could see. On the screen was a news reporter from the news website he was narrating the story.
“The sheriff’s department won’t speculate on details of the incident but confirmed the victim, Jacob Hopkins, did survive the attack. Hopkins was taken to a local hospital where he remains in critical condition.” The Parks and Noceda siblings gasp, “We know that guy, he was the bus driver when we first moved here...” Luz said, “crap you’re right…” Salix said, “Dude was a weirdo!” Skara just shook her head, “As much as I want to hear you guys talk about the incident, can we talk about something else? Like when do we meet each other at the bowling alley? That we planned for?” Skara said then turned to the blights, “You guys can bowl right?” She asked with an eyebrow raised.
The Blights looked at each other, “Uh… We have never Bowled before…” Amity said shrinking into herself Willow patted her back sympathetically, “It's okay baby Blight not everyone knows how to bowl so it's no biggie we can teach you when we get there if you don't mind me and Luz teaching you,” Luz was too busy eating to pay attention but Willow saw a blush creep up on Amity’s face but it was gone before she could say anything. “Yes! That is fine by me,” Amity blurted out.
Skara smirked at this, seeing something forming here, “Great! Now if anyone needs a ride, call me because I'm pretty sure there's a curfew in effect. So be sneaky when you're sneaking out, don't ruin the night by getting caught.” Everyone nodded in agreement and the bell rang signaling lunch was over. “See you guys tonight!” Skara said as she left the table with Gus Boscha and her sister following behind her. The others packed up their boxes and then headed to class as well.
—---------------____—--------_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-___-
After school, Lucia and Luz headed to their part-time job at the clinic. Unfortunately, they were late so they rushed there just to make it there. The siblings pushed open the door out of breath looking up to see their boss's daughter smiling with her arms crossed, “One minute late… tsk tsk tsk…. Nocedas get good.”
Viney, or mini Boss as Lucia calls her, was wearing a blue t-shirt with a blue plaid sleeveless shirt black ripped jeans, and a pair of brown boots. Her skin was fair with some scars visible from handling animals. Her Long Brown hair was tied up into a ponytail and she was wearing fish hook earrings with a spiked headband and black leather bracelets.
Lucia looked up and smiled at Viney, “Mini Boss! How are you doing? Is your mom in?” she asked while Luz waved Hi. Viney rolled her eyes at the Nickname and sighed, “Yes she's in she's in the back, get washed up and meet us in there.” Viney said as she headed to the back. Lucia and Luz saluted and did as they were told.
Once The Nocedas were washed up they Saw The Owner of the clinic, Who looked just like their daughter the only difference was the way she dressed. She had more of the modern farmer look. She was wearing a black long-sleeve shirt with its sleeves rolled up to show off her defined muscles and scars. She had a Black leather vest over the shirt she was wearing a pair of Jeans and Black cowboy boots. And a guest that they were expecting to see, Sheriff Park who had a stern and serious face. Being around Salix and Willow Growing up had taught them that That look meant something was wrong.
Luz thought that he had figured out who injured Hopkins and thought that he was there for them. She started to panic just a little bit as she noticed that her older sister tensed up sensing her panic state. But he smiles and reveals one of his K-9 units and walls him over to the Boss to get its check up which she happily confirmed with a fanged smile of her own.
The dog wags its tail like crazy after seeing Viney’s Mom, “Oh looks like someone is ready to get their stitches out!” Viney's Mom Crouches down to pet the dog and easily lifts the dog onto the examining table to do a quick checkup on the dog, “Lucia, hand me the kit to remove stitches, Luz Vines help me with the check-up.” with a nod everyone did as they were told. As the dog was getting taken care of Sheriff Park turned his attention to the Noceda siblings, “We’ll if it ain't the second half of the Terror quad, are you two staying out of trouble?” He asked with a smile Luz and Lucia nodded with a smile, “You know that's impossible Sir” Lucia said with a chuckle.
Park laughed and had his attention back to the Vet, “Hey Veronica,” He pulled out a folder marked as EVIDENCE and handed it over to Veronica, who looked at the folder for a second before going back to work, “Can you look at these pictures that I was telling you about? They still cannot determine an animal…” Veronica was finished removing the stitches from the dog and putting some gauze on it to protect it so it could finish healing. She then looked up at him a bit hesitant, “You know I’m not an expert with this stuff right?” She says and looks through the photos interested in what she sees, “Oh… Is this the guy who was attacked? What did you guys find?” She asked the Sheriff. Park sighed, “Yes this is the guy. They also found wolf hairs on his and the other body we found but they weren’t the same that's the tricky part ”
Luz looked at her older sister who was looking at her. Probably thinking the same thing, “Wolves? But I thought they haven’t been seen in her in like sixty years…” Viney said Which startled the sheriff her mother nodded in agreement as she looked at the photos. “True Kid but, Wolves are highly migratory they probably have traced from another state to come back here due to being driven impulse or strong enough memory.”
Lucia frowned at that the gears in her head working forming an idea. “Wolves have memories?” She asked. Veronica nodded, “Yep! Longer-term memories if associated with a primal drive,” She waved them over to look at the pictures, “Like this one here” Veronica showed them the pic of Hopkins in a hospital bed and the photo focused on his face, where there were vertical claw marks from his brow down the side of his face past his temple to his cheek, and another one in the same direction from under his eye down to his mouth. There is a third gash on the side of his neck that goes diagonally right to left from under his ear toward Adam's apple. “These are claw marks, wolves would have gone for the throat spinal cord with its teeth.”
Both siblings closed their eyes and shivered at the image that they had in their heads. “So this could have been a mountain lion?” Sheriff Park asked. Veronica shrugged in response, “That I don’t know, A wolf could chase down its prey hobbling it by tearing at the ankles.” Luz’s Mind eye flashed before her mentally as she was transported to that night as she grabbed Hopkins by his ankle dragging him back towards the back of the bus as he screamed.
Then, she was brought back to the present. She blinked in confusion and slight panic. She heard Veronica continue her explanation, “And then the throat.” Lucia listened to that and blinked as the same thing happened to her. She was mentally dragged back to that night, feeling herself claw at the guy three times across his face. Then, she was abruptly brought back to the present. Lucia felt herself having a headache and stepped back from the table. Viney was watching their reaction this whole time and knew something was off.
________________________________
Night has fallen, Lucia and Luz walked through the sliding doors of the hospital with a bag of take-out a large green tea, and dessert they had smiles on their face as they walked up to the nurses' station in the ER where Camila was working, She looked up seeing her kids and smiled happy to see them. “Hola Mijas, Bringing me dinner?” Lucia handed the bag of take-out to her mom and Luz gave the dessert and drink, “We thought that you should have a break from cafeteria food” Luz said Camila smiled, “That’s so sweet carinos, how was school and work?” Camila asked taking a sip of her tea as she looked through her food bag. Seeing her favorite items from McDonalds. “It was good even though there was an accident but it was good,”
Lucia said spinning a pen that she took. Camila nodded then sighed and sat in her chair and leaned back in it with her arms crossed raising her eyebrow at her two children, “What do you two want?” Lucia smirked, “Parks house sleepover, tomorrow we’ll be home the next day before you leave for work,” Lucia said Their Mom thought about it and nodded, “Fine but make sure the house is cleaned from head to toe before you leave and you get double chores which will include mowing the lawn and deep cleaning the bathroom and kitchen. For one week.” Camila said with a smirk of her own. Luz looked at her sister and nodded, “Deal” They both said at the same time and headed out the way they came in with a pep in their step till they stopped.
Their eyes were glowing yellow as they caught a familiar scent which flipped a switch within, they followed that trail it went past the nurses station where their mom was but weren’t paying attention as they made their way down the hall a little bit of their wolf-like features were seen as their ears pointed slightly and their claws extended but only slightly. They entered the room where Hopkins was resting, they slipped into the room like predators hunting their prey without being noticed. Lucia pulls away the curtain separating the two halves of the room to find Hopkins lying in bed on his back, his eyes closed, clearly asleep.
Hopkins’ head was wrapped in gauze, and he was covered in nicks and cuts from the attack, an IV was inserted into his right arm and a nasal cannula administered oxygen through his nose. Seeing their hunt in such a weakened state on the verge of death set something off inside them, they both stepped closer towards the bed claws reached out but Hopkins stirred awake Lucia and her sister took a step back startled and shook their head, but their eyes where still glowing from the scent of blood.
All Hopkins saw was their glowing yellow eyes and in his mind eye all he saw was the two beasts that attacked him. he began to panic and scoot away but he couldn’t since he was stuck in bed he was gasping trying to scream. Luz and Lucia watched as they smelt his fear their hands twitched as if trying to force their body to do something but couldn’t. Hopkins then screamed causing the siblings to wince and back up holding their ears. Camilia rushed in hearing the scream and saw her two kids there holding their ears and eyes shut.
“What the hell?! What are you guys doing here, Go!” Camila said pushing them out Lucia and Luz turned to look to see Hopkins tense up and begin to seize having a seizure.
______________
Early the next Morning A deputy car pulled up to the Clawthorne house. He gets out of the car and walks around the area making sure that no one is there, when he sees nothing unusual he pulls out his radio and calls in, “Uh it looks pretty deserted here dispatch. Do you want me to go inside and look?” He waited for the response as he looked through the window of the house. “Morton.. Sorry unit 16, It's county property, you just need to make sure that the house is vacant…” The voice said through the Radio Morton was clearly on edge and scanned the house not moving from his spot, especially when Both Clawthornes who are suspects for murder were rumored squatting here. “Uh yeah no one is home…” Morton said through the radio on the other end The voice sounded exhausted, “ Boy if you don't go and look for the love of God!” Morton flinched hearing him yell through the radio, “Copy that…” Morton put his radio on his vest and walked up to the house.
His K-9 Unit that was in the backseat of his cruiser began to bark once he stepped closer to the house which caused him to jump out of his skin. He faced his dog with a frown, “Don't do that! You gave me a heart attack!” he said to his dog before continuing to walk closer to the house. However, he couldn’t see Eda and Lilith watching him, Lilith was hiding behind the door peering through the broken window.
From the angle, he was looking at facing the porch. Eda was on the second floor looking through the window staying hidden looking at the dog and flashing her blue werewolf eyes at the dog Lilith did the same thing to make things worse for the dog which only made it bark even louder and more frantically, clearly intimidated by The Clawthorne Sisters, who is above him on the canine food-chain.
When the dog starts freaking out so badly that its saliva begins splattering all over the half-opened window, the deputy, now completely unnerved, starts looking for the source of what is spooking it. The dog gets even more freaked out and is now sticking its head out of the back window, causing the deputy to ultimately decide he's checked it well enough and turn to get back into the car as he reassures the dog.
“Alrighty Alright I’m coming,” Morton said, The dog continued to bark as the deputy got into the driver's seat and began driving away. Lilith watches the man drive away while Eda smirks in satisfaction at not getting caught squatting in the house. Once the car is out of sight, Both Clawthornes hear the sounds of footsteps approaching and turn to see Lucia and Luz walking out of the edge of the woods that border the Clawthorne property, They stop and pause for a moment before sighing, Lucia deciding to do the talking called out towards the house and Luz shifted nervously.
“I know you can hear Me” Lucia started as the older werewolves watched them, Lucia looked towards the house with a frown not wanting to do this but sighed, “We need your help…” once that was said it began to rain and Luz and her sister went towards the porch protecting themselves from the rain. Lilith and Eda decided to come out of the house, Eda and her sister had a blank expression on their faces.
Lucia wanted to punch Eda and her sister knowing what they were doing. “Look I know what we did, in getting you guys involved in arresting you and the hunter thing I think, and whoever that was in the ground was buried and we are sorry but, We think that we killed someone…” Lucia said clenching and clenching her teeth. When The older werewolves didn’t say anything Luz continued, “We had a dream about killing someone and it felt way too real to be a dream, and just yesterday we just found out that it probably most likely wasn’t a dream.” The sisters listened to their ramblings then looked at each other with blank faces still looking back at The Noceda’s, Eda still keeping the blank face spoke, “So you two think or you think you know that you attacked the driver?”
Lucia Frowned at her thinking they knew more than they were letting on, “Did you see us that night?” Lilith responded this time ignoring Lucia’s slight growl in her voice, “No” She said evenly, Luz deciding to play along asked, Well can we hurt someone?” Eda responded bluntly, “Yes” Lucia not liking this continued with the questions they were asking,” Can we possibly kill someone?” Lilith answered again bluntly, “Yes” Luz then asked the final question, “Are we going to kill someone?” Eda shrugged this time, “Probably”
Luz and Lucia looked away with a frown after hearing that and placed their hoods on their head before walking away about to head home. “We weren’t done,” Lilith said, Luz and Lucia stopped in their tracks looking back, “We can show you how to remember, how to control your transformations and full moons… but you won’t be getting this for free” Lilith said Lucia and Luz fully turned and faced them not in the mood to argue, “what do you want?” Luz asked and Eda smirked, “You’ll find out when the time comes but right now we will give you what you want, Go back to the bus, see it, feel it let all of your senses- your sight smell touch, let them remember for you,” Lucia frowned thinking that there would be more, “Thats it?” She asked, “Do you want to remember or not?” Lilith responded. Luz sighed and nodded understanding the instructions she pulled her sister away from them leaving the Clawthorne sisters to their things.
“Oh, they attacked the guy i think they’ve already seen the memory flashes of what happened,” Eda said once The pups were out of earshot. “Agreed it’s a good that they came when they did, third full moon transformations are..” Eda grinned at the thought, “Dangerous painful deadly? The nights that I missed having when things were better?” Lilith sighed at her sisters' antics, “Yes all of that but I think they might be different when it comes to the full moon..” Eda raised an eyebrow at that, “Why is that?” Lilith shrugged before heading inside, “That is something that we will find out when the time comes.” Eda groaned in irritation, "Ugh! I hate when you do that..." She said as she followed her sister inside closing the door behind her.

Chapter Text
Part 2
Night has fallen once again The terror quad was heading to the bus yard, Salix was driving their black Jeep while Lucia was sitting in the passenger seat and her little sister was sitting in the back with Luz she glanced at Lucia as they went through the woods that was closer to the back entrance of the lot. Once they got to the Gate Luz and Lucia got out once the car was parked. Salix watched them as did Willow but they stayed in the car, they knew that this was something that they had to do on their own but they would still be there for them.
Lucia and Luz faced the gate and crouched before jumping the fence and landing safely on their feet on the other side. Luz turns and faces their friends before going to the bus. Both siblings are nervous about what they are about to face but they need to know the truth. Once they made it to the bus Lucia and her sister paused and looked around. This is where everything changed for both of them. They took a deep breath before stealing themselves, they needed to learn the truth. They closed their eyes and let their senses take control of their body guiding them through that night. Both of them were sent that very night through their mind.
In the flashback they were transported to Last night where Lucia and Luz were sleeping in their beds when they heard howling from a distance, they tossed and turned trying to fight whatever feeling that had awakened inside them. They began to sweat like they were in a sauna. They continued to toss and turn in bed as the howling continued. The pressure was too much to handle for both of them and they gasped awake, their eyes flashing gold, their fangs extended as they rushed out of bed and headed out their window.
Back in the present Luz and Lucia opened their eyes startled by what they saw in their mind's eye they caught their breath steeling themselves once again and took a step towards the bus stepping over the crime tape they entered the bus wanting to figure out more about what happened they touched the bus and closed their eyes as they braced themselves for what they will see.
Both siblings fully transformed into the beasts that they were and had now attacked Hopkins as they were on the bus Luz had him against the front door as he had tried to escape but couldn’t her claws had scratched his face and his forehead was bleeding from the impact he suffered the door's glass was cracked as he screamed in agony.
Back in the present Lucia and lez were inside the bus touching everything, their eyes closed as they felt the seats and touched the door their senses were telling them what they wanted as they let it play. Their faces were frowning as if they were having a nightmare that they couldn’t wake up from as the memory continued to play in their head.
In the flashback, Lucia this time had grabbed Hopkins by his ankle as he screamed he held on to the support of the seat but his hand was bitten off by Luz her muzzle covered in blood as she growled at him As Hopkins was pulled back by Lucia, well the beasts at this point.
Back in the present Lucia was on the ground as if she was doing the thing she did like in a trance everything started to blend into reality as the memory from last night felt like reality her ears twitched as she heard Luz growling crouched in the position as she was in that night. The illusion of her fully transformed sister was seen in front of her, both of their eyes glowing yellow as the memory continued to play before them.
Hopkins screamed as he was dragged by the two beasts that were Lucia and Luz in a desperate attempt to escape he kicked the one grabbing his ankle in the muzzle the beast yelped as he got up with his one hand desperate to escape he saw the torn opened and tried to make his way through that exit. But he didn’t realize what he did was the wrong move as the other beast, after checking its sibling, snarled in rage and pulled Hopkins down hard onto the floor and was pulled back towards the back emergency exit where the other was waiting. The beast clawed at him while he screamed in pain and agony. Hopkins grew unconscious as the pain he felt from overwhelming the two beasts was about to finish him off when a growl from behind halted them. The two beasts backed away as they saw the beast that attacked them weeks ago had made itself known.
Back in the present, Lucia and Luz’s eyes widened in shock at what they saw, both were out of breath and out of the trance they were in both concluded that they did this and the one who did this to them watched as it happened. Lucia clenched her fists as she came to that revelation.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the fence, Salix and Willow were waiting anxiously for their friends. Salix pulled out her pen and puffed out smoke rings while Willow fidgeted with her hands. Willow glanced at the rearview window spotting headlights and tapping Salix on the shoulder grabbing her attention. Salix cursed and without a second thought began to honk the horn signaling the wolves that it was time to go. If they get caught now their dad is going to kill them.
Luciand Luz on the other hand was still overwhelmed by what they had witnessed and jumped visibly startled by the honking, They shook their heads getting out of the funk they were in, and Ran out of the Bus landing on the ground They pushed off the ground jumping on top of a car roof and jumped over the fence like a master at parkour landing on the ground again they make their way back to the jeep.
Willow Rolled down the windows of the passenger and back seat and they waited for them. “Come on! Come on!” Salix said as she thrummed her fingers on the steering wheel. Salix starts up the jeep keeping the lights off When they saw Luz and Lucia coming they hopped inside the car through the windows. Lucia urgently looked at the lights, “Go! Go! Go!” Lucia said As Salix drove off through the woods heading to the road.
On the road heading to the bowling Alley, it was silent during the ride. Luz was looking out the window watching the trees while lying on Willow's shoulder. While Lucia looked pissed but something else was there, Salix glanced at Lucia for a second before breaking the silence, “So did it work Do you guys remember what happened?”
Lucia sighed rubbing her temples and feeling a headache forming, Yeah we saw everything, and we did attack him, The idiot tried to keep me from attacking him by holding on to the support bars for the seats, Luz bit his hand off,” Lucia rubbed her jaw feeling the ache that she felt from being kicked, “The idiot kicked me in the jaw and tried to escape but Luz did not like that and took him down, and we technically mauled him… but someone was there and it was the same one who bit us that night.” Lucia clenched her fist trying to keep her emotions in check… “I don’t know who it was but when it growled we stopped and I know it’s not Lilith or Eda, their eyes are not red…”
Salixed frowned at that as she listened to Lucia, wondering what all this could mean, “Maybe it's a pack thing?” Willow said Luz had fallen asleep physically and mentally tired from everything she Nuzzled against Willow listening to her heartbeat that was grounding her. Willow absentmindedly petted her as she continued, “Like initiation, like your first hunt with the pack but you succeeded in the hunt. This means a lot, but if we are doing this hang out, you two have to keep yourselves under control…” Lucia sighed in agreement, “yeah…” She then laid her head against the window and closed her eyes resting so they could get through the rest of the night.

Meanwhile, at the Blight House, the Twins were helping their older and little sister pick out an outfit with Skara. Amity’s closet was opened as Skara looked through the outfit choices, “Ah ha!” Skara exclaimed as she pulled out some ripped jeans, a purple shirt, and a black leather jacket and gave them to Amity, “Here this is the one it's sure to catch Willow’s and Luz’s eye.” Skara wiggled her eyebrows. Amity blushed as she took the outfit and changed her clothes in her built-in bathroom, “It's not like that Kara I swear…” Amity said from behind the door.
Skara rolled her eyes, “Sure it ain’t because when Willow offered to help you bowl you were immediately on board.” Amity came out of the bathroom and fixed her hair up in a half up half down look like her sister. Amity was about to say something but her dad barged into the room without knocking, holding his jacket that he was about to put on, “Oh! Hello Father!...” Amity said giving her dad a pointed look Alador smiled at His youngest putting on his jacket noticing the look she was giving him realizing he forgot something and smiled sheepishly and apologetically. “Sorry… I forgot to knock…” Skara waved hello to Amity’s dad, “Hello Mr. Blight…” Skara said with a smile which he returned.
“Did you need something dad?” Amity asked which brought up the reason why He came up here in the first place. “Yes, your mother said that you’ll be staying here tonight. I've already told your siblings the news... But I already know how this will play out just be back by morning and stay safe. Okay? Then you can Stay over at your friends the next night” Alador said before closing the door behind him. Skara looked at Amity with a shocked expression, "Okay your dad is cool, let me guess your siblings sneak out more than you and he already knows the drill?” Amity turned to Skara and sat on her bed, “Yep, We just have to wait till he leaves and we’ll be out” Amity said as she waited.
A few minutes later Emira Knocked on her window before jumping off the roof pulling herself into herself before landing on her feet. Amity Went to the window grabbed her bag and opened it, “you coming?” Amity asked turning to face Skara, “I’m taking the stairs but I’m going to watch you do this crazy thing that I know that you're about to do,” Skara said as she watched Amity leap off the roof doing a front flip and landing lightly on her feet in the grass next to the garage she faced Skara who did a golf clap. She smiled sheepishly, “Eight years of gymnastics, We’ll wait for you out front,” Amity said before heading to the front of the house.
_______________________
At the bowling Alley, Amity, Amilea, Edric, Emira, Skara, Boscha, Brook, Gus, Willow, Lucia Luz, and Salix were testing the weight of the bowling balls. Still, it was mainly the others testing out the Bowling balls for The Blights having them test the weight of the ball if it was too heavy they would try a different one till they got the right ball.
Boscha commented on the blight predicament, “It's crazy, for a person who moves from one place to another they should at least know how to bowl...” Boscha said the Blights blushed in embarrassment Amilea was about to say something but Salix beat her to it, “Hmm I don’t know Crowe maybe they couldn’t because they moved around a lot not everyone can experience the joy of bowling, Like your sister for example she can’t play because of her injury, maybe next time.” Salix said shoving Boscha with her shoulder before leading Amilea and the twins to the lane that they were about to use, Come on blights you are about to get a crash course on bowling by Lucia and Salix,”
As soon as she said that Amila blushed slightly but shook it off and followed Salix, “Crowe we are supposed to have a good night of bowling please for the love of god keep the insults in check don’t have me send Skara on you, you know how she is..” Lucia said passing by Boscha and joining her group Brook sighed and made her way to the bench not in the mood and wanting to get through this night.
The younger teens had a separate lane to play in. Skara was first and was about to start them off when Boscha came behind her nuzzling her neck which Skara enjoys, See when it comes to their relationship At school they play their roles as the bully cocky jock, and the popular but sorta nerdy girl. But when they're alone they're like two lions who are cute and cuddly, Willow and Luz never understood this but it's what they do can’t judge them.
Skara giggles and kisses her cheek as Boscha runs her hands down her waist and hips guiding Skaras hands so she can aim at the pins Skara for her part lets her try but her ball goes into the gutter but she is too distracted to care she fake pouts towards Boscha and the others. On her second attempt though with no distractions this time she was able to get a spare she went back to the others and sat in her girlfriend's lap.
Everyone rolled their eyes at their antics it was Willow's turn and she grabbed her ball and aimed she rolled her ball down the lane and got a strike on her first try. She snapped her fingers making finger guns and winked at her friends, “That's how it's done yo” Willow said as she sat back down giving high fives to Luz Amity, and Gus. Soon it was Luz’s turn and she got a strike then Gus who got a spare as well Boscha got a strike causing Luz Willow and Boscha to be tied in first place for points.
Then it was Amity’s turn this time she was nervous and Luz couldn't but let her try on her own first before helping. Willow noticed as well but stayed seated as well. Amity Rolled the ball but her aim was off so the ball rolled into the gutter, Skara being the supportive friend she is gave her support, “It's okay Amity, first-time jitters we all went through it no biggie,” Skara said. The others nodded in agreement except for Boscha who watched in a bored expression. So Amity tried again this time she was able to knock down at least one. Everyone clapped as she went back to her seat, Nice Job Princess” Willow said, Amity looked away her ears flushed.
On the older kid's side, it was Emira’s turn to bowl. She was given some pointers from Sallix and hit three of the pins on her second attempt. She was able to knock down five more, which was good for her first try. She was given praise for her first attempt, and she bowed dramatically. Edric and Brook had their chance to bowl Brook got a strike with her injury and Edric got a spare. Salix and Lucia got strikes.
Eventually, it was Amilea’s turn She picked up her ball and walked up to the lane, she took a deep breath but because she was nervous she missed the pins and the ball went into the gutter. “It's alright Ames try again!” Emira said in support Efric nodded in agreement. “Yeah, you got this!” The eldest Blight tries again with better aim this time the ball stays in the middle but the ball rolls off to the side into the gutter, “Damn… so close…” Amelia sat on the bench and was given pats on the back for support. “It's alright Ames You’ll get there just a warm-up,” Lucia said with a supporting smile.
______________________________
Meanwhile, while the werewolves and friends were having fun Eda and Lilith were at the gas station getting some fuel for their vehicles, Eda with her Harvey Davis Motorcycle, and Lilith her all-back Chevy Camero, “So how are going to do this? I heard mentoring is a whole new level” Eda asked her sister leaning on her bike Waiting for her fuel tank to fill. “Well, we are gonna have to be creative and keep them on their toes, we are just going to have to figure out how to do this…” Lilith said to her sister who nodded in understanding. A familiar black SUV pulls up behind Eda’s vehicle extremely close to her. Another SUV but silver bulls up perpendicular to Lilith's car blocking them in Both siblings sensing them before they came looked uninterested but had their arms crossed being on guard when they saw Alador come out of his car. Lilith had to keep a hand on her sister so she wouldn’t do anything stupid.
______________________________________
Back with the teens It was Amity’s turn again and she was doing… okay… not bad but not good either Luz could practically smell Amity’s nervousness and because of that she was distracted which caused her to mess up a lot. “Amity, relax you are thinking too hard about this” Willow said standing up and pulling Luz up with her causing Luz to yelp in surprise. Amity looks at them sheepishly and gives them a small smile, “Yeah… sorry for ruining this.” Luz smiled reassuringly, “No no not at all trust me we were the same way my mom beat us in bowling as kids so we get it” Willow placed her arm around Amity’s shoulder, “You know Crowe has been saying things about you under her breath and I wouldn't mind shutting her up.” Amity chuckled at that, “So clear our mind and think of something else” Luz said. Amity frowned at that like what she said out loud and Skara came up to them with a smirk. “Anything,” Willow said.
Skara then pushed them away they took the hint and sat back down. “Here I have an idea for you think about Willow and Luz…” Skara gently turned Amity’s face towards them. They were in an animated conversation about an Anime they were watching together. “In whatever fantasy that you got in your little head of yours… I’m pretty sure I know one of those is” Amity blinked as the image popped into her head and smiled slightly returning her focus to the lane, Skara went back to her spot with a cheeky smile on their face.
Willow and Luz looked at her confused all Skara did was gesture for them to watch which they did. Amity got in the position and stared intently at the pins and she rolled the ball down the lane. The ball flies down the lane and she hits a strike. Skara and Gus cheer as the others are in shock. Willow looked at Skara, “Dude what did you tell her?” Skara smiled, “Just gave her something to think about.”
Luz looked over hearing Salix cheer it seemed the same thing happened for them as well.
___________________________
Meanwhile, with Lilith and Eda, the Clawthornes were continuing to fill their tanks. Trying to seem unbothered but it was difficult when Alador and some goons he had with him were watching. Eda was struggling the most to keep her cool and her sister could tell Lilith tapped her sister's shoulder pointing at the pump noticing that it was finished filling up her tank. Grateful for the distraction she removed the nozzle Lilith had done the same a few seconds after Eda then Alador stikes.
“Nice rides,” He said as he came up to Lilith's Camero and trailed his finger along the hood of the car, “But it's said that Black cars though are very hard to keep clean.” He pretended to rub a smudge with his thumb trying to intimidate the sisters. Eda snorted a laugh, “Don’t you have a Black SUV yourself? Blight?” Eda said with a smile walking towards his Ford. “Nice family car but I'm more of a biker myself, So get to the point or your ride might be seeing some scratches.” Lilith watched her sister walk up to Alador’s SUV, and hen turned her attention to Alador, who kept a blank expression but it was obvious Eda was getting under his skin.
Instead of reacting One of his goons went to Eda’s Bike as Alador grabbed the windshield wiper and squeegee and shook off the excess cleaning fluid. Lilith watched him clean his windshield. Eda had her eyes on one of the goons if he lays a scratch on her bike oh boy, there's going to be trouble. “You guys know me I may be great at my job but I'm doing this to protect the ones I care for, Like your vehicles for example you’ll do anything to make sure that it’s in working condition and making sure it‘s clean…. Being protective of my family is something I learned from my family… Something you two don’t have much of these days… Do you?”
That struck a nerve But Lilith and Eda kept their cool as Alador finished his work. Lilith kept a blank expression on her face One of the hunters saw Eda tense up and was expecting a fight but relaxed instantly, making a kissing gesture to the hunter who had his hand on his gun, “Aw did little ol me scare you?” Eda smirked Growling Slightly. The hunter flinched slightly, Lilith called out to Eda having her stop playing with the hunter, Alador put the squeegee away and stared at Lilith blankly before walking away hoping his message was clear. Lilith who couldn’t help herself called out to him. “You forgot to check the oil bud”
Aador paused in his tracks and turned his head to face Lilith with a smile that didn’t come to his face, “Right, Make sure both their oil is checked The hunter who was by Eda moved to her bike but she moved quickly and pulled him back, “touch my bike and you're dead, Eda’s eyes flashed blue as she growled at the guy who practically wet himself and went back to the car. On the other hand, Lilith watched as the other reluctantly walked up to her car seeming to pop the hood, However, instead of walking around the front of the car to pop the hood, The Hunter stopped at the driver's side door and grabbed a semi-automatic gun that was concealed on his side, hidden from Lilith. He uses the butt of the gun to smash the driver's side window before looking over at Alador.
Lilith held her sister back as the Hunter called out, “Looks fine to me” Alador smiled at the siblings and smiled at Lilith and Eda, “Have a nice night you two” Lilith and Eda watched as Alador and his goons left. “I’m going to kill him…” was all Eda said with a growl to her tone. Lilith stayed silent as she watched the cars leave. Silently agreeing with her sister.
________________
The Bowling hangout was still going strong Amity and her siblings were getting better at the game but the shining stars were Amity and her elder sister Amelia, They were hitting strike after strike like there was no tomorrow. Skara asked Gus who decided to sit out for the rest of the night and was looking at the scoreboard, Hey Gus how many strikes was that?” Gus who watched the board looked up at Skara, “Six in a row counting this one, she is tied with the terror quad, and her sister, dang whatever you told her made her pop off literally!” Gus exclaimed. Maybe something clicked?” Luz said Willow joined in, “Yeah, some true hidden bowling potential we are seeing. Skara it’s your turn.”
Skara got up grabbed her ball and with perfect form she made a strike on her first try. She smiled and sat back down in her seat with a smile as she saw the screen rearrange the names on the screen. She looked at Boscha with a smirk, “Look who’s on top” She gave a kiss to Boscha. After their kiss, Boscha got up to take a break and went to the arcade part of the bowling alley. Luz decided to follow, wanting to try and at least make amends with Boscha. Willow watched but let her go do her thing. Once Luz made her way to Boscha who was at the pinball machine looked at the score and watched her play. “Nice shot!”
When Luz got no response she sighed, “Look I know you don’t like me for whatever reason and we both sure as hell don’t want to be here but we don’t have to hate each other on or off the field.”
Boscha scoffed, “I sure as hell don’t hate you Noceda no no, I just don’t believe you or your sister. My sister feels the same, we know that you are both good at what you doubt its the fact that you come out of nowhere doing shit you couldn’t do before. You two never hit home runs like that or move like that.” Luz kept a straight face as Boscha continued. “Whatever you two got going on whether it's steroids or something weirder… knowing you two, maybe something weirder but we are going to find out what your secret is.”
Luz frowned, “We don’t have any secrets…” Luz said her voice even. Boscha just scoffed still focused on the game in front of her. “Yes, you are and whatever you are hiding you don’t want her to know..” Luz knew who Boscha was talking about as she looked at Amity who was chatting with the others. She glanced towards the other group she saw her sister looking her way with a worried expression on her face. Luz waved her off and watched as the game lit up as Boscha made a high score.
___________________________
At the hospital, Hopkins was lying in bed resting soundly, his eyes closed as two shadowy figures stood next to him. “Wakey wakey Mr. Hopkins,” One of the shadows said had Hopkins stir awake but nothing else. Seeing that it barely woke him up the other shadow growled loudly which startled him awake. He looked at the two shadows revealing to be the Clawthore sisters. Eda looked bored while Lilith had a stoic look on her face. “Tell us what you remember…” Lilith said not wanting to be here any longer than they need to be. Hopkins however had a face of recognition when he saw Lilith and Eda and smiled sadly. “Clawthorne…”
Eda looked at him in surprise that he even recognized them, “How the hell do you know our names?” All she got in response was a weak I'm sorry from him. Eda however didn't like that answer and got closer to him, “How do you know us?” Hopkins kept on apologizing as he began to tear up. “I'm sorry” Hopkins repeated Eda wanted to press more but was held back by Lilith as they watched as he laid his head back into his pillow.
Outside in the nurse's station, Camila was gathering her belongings as she was preparing to leave home. Knowing her kids won't be back till the next day, Overhead a Voice on the PA was calling for a doctor. “Dr. Brown telephone please” As Camila hears this she Pat a fellow nurse on the shoulder as she passes by. “Chica I'm out there's a DVR full of unwatched TV and it has my name written all over it… and to remind me how single I am…” the other Nurse laughs as Camila tells her joke when an alarm goes off on the monitor system and Camila goes to look at it. She cursed under her breath, “Rowan, call a code! room one-thirty-seven!” Camila rushes into the room and gasps in shock seeing Hopkins lying dead in bed as the monitor shows a flatline Eda and Lilith are nowhere to be seen.
—----------------------------
The Hangouts having ended Willow Salix Lucia and Luz Walked the blights to the front door of their house Edric and Emira were already ahead of them leaving The terror quad and Amilea and Amity alone with each other. Once they made it to the door Amity and her sister looked nervous but Amilea being the big sister she is, took a deep breath and sighed, “ So we should do that again but only with the five of us, I never had that much fun bowling in my life.”
The four ladies smiled at them stating their agreement, “Oh yeah, most definitely. I love Skara and Gus don't get me wrong but Being with the Crowe Siblings is something different entirely, Just being the six of us sounds great” Salix said Amity and her sister nodded, “maybe, they can be separate as well?” Amiry asked and Luz looked confused, “What do you mean by that?”
Amity blushed looking away, “You know, Just Me you, and Willow hang out together while They have their time together… That's if you want to! It's ok if you don't…” Amity began to spiral before She felt two pairs of lips on her cheek to shut her up. “yes We are fine with that,” Willow said as she heard her Sister Woop and Lucia clap for them. Which caused them to blush and head to the car Luz was being dragged by Willow. “yep bye bye” Willow said, “Syranora, Adios see you never! holy shit holy shit holy shit…” Luz Exclaimed as they jumped in the back seat Waiting for their siblings. Amity stood there stunned as she placed her hands where she was kissed.
“Okay, my sister is officially broken so we shall part ways here. Thank you for hanging out with us, Park and Noceda” Amilea said. Salix fake pouts, "Aw we don't get a kiss good night? That's sad my baby sister gets one before me-” Before she could finish She was kissed on the cheek as well as Lucia, Salix, and Lucia blinked before they spoke at the same time."Well damn, Roa crikey…” And with that, Amilea carried her stunned sister inside waving goodbye.
—---—--------------------------------
Well, we Are at the Park residence where both Parks and Noceda are a mess they were in Salix’s bedroom sitting in silence, “Wow who saw that coming?” Salix asked Raising her hand as well as Willow. “Of course, we're the only ones Willow… So how are we feeling?” Salix continued “Did this just turn into a best friend to lovers relationship? I swear feelings are weird” Luz said “But I feel great! I need to do something to relieve this energy. Should I Howl? Imma howl!” Luz was about to do it but her mouth was muffled because Willow had her hand over her mouth. “Luz I love you deeply but please for the love of God do not howl…” Luz Pouted but nodded and just sat there bouncing with energy.
Salix had gotten a call on her phone and stepped out to answer it. Lucia watched as her little sister was chatting with Willow, she recalled how Luz reacted to Willow when she was hurt during the game. She felt it and knew how her sister was when it came to seeing the people she cared for hurt. She's the same way but, if the role was switched instead of Willow getting hurt and it was Salix the outcome would be different.
Salix entered the room with a grim look on her face. Lucia frowned and had her head tilted in confusion. “What's wrong?” Salix looked at Lucia. “My dad left for the hospital 15 minutes ago… it's the Bus driver…” Lucia and Luz already didn't like where this was going as they let her finish sharing the info that she found. “They said that he has succumbed to his wounds” Luz Looked down in sadness Lucia cursed under her breath hearing the news, “He died…” Luz muttered as she felt Willow pull her close to comfort her.
Lucia Got up abruptly and went to the door. The air around her shifted and Salix stepped back, “Come on Luz.” She said Luz got up and followed her sister. Without another word, they left. “Salix?…” Willow called out to her sister, “I know let them deal with that, they know it's not them, they just need to get their frustrations out.” She said sitting on the bed and sighing, “Damn fell in love with A Hunter and A Werewolf, what is life anyway?”
—--------------------------------
Lucia and Luz walked up to the territory of Lilith and Eda Clawthorne, They knew that who was with them that night wasn’t them but the thought that they possibly knew more than they led on pissed off Lucia she charged into the house her little sister following her, “Eda! Lilith! I know you're here!” Lucia shouted Luz stayed quiet as they heard Eda’s voice, “What are you doing here? You know we didn’t do anything you saw it so why are you here?”
Eda’s voice echoed through the ruins, Lucia walked up the burnt staircase of the house, “What else do you know?!” Lilith's voice came out this time, “All we know is that he died from the injuries you two caused him…” Luz spoke up finally trying to piece everything together, “Who was that person we uncovered? And why did you guys return?” Lilith's calm voice came out again as Lucia reached the top of the stairs trying to find them, “Someone close to us was missing. Her last known location was here,” Luz nodded, “then you found her” Luz said Then Eda shouted out “She was in pieces being used as bait to catch us! But this isn’t why you are here”
Lucia noticed too late that Eda was beside her the whole time, “You're pissed and you want to release that anger smart,” She grabbed Lucia by her shoulder and tossed her down the staircase. Lucia groaned as she landed on her back at the bottom of the steps. Eda looked at her and then to Luz, “You are joining in too, Get it all out of your systems” Lilith appeared next to Eda with her arms crossed, “ A temper tantrum… oh goody” Luz didn’t say anything but took off her jacket with a sigh revealing her black T-shirt. Lucia transforms partially fueled by negative emotions, she gets up from the floor with a roar.
Eda cracked her neck and jumped from the top of the stairs down to the bottom so She could Join Lucia, Lilith stayed where she was keeping her eyes on Luz, Before Eda could say anything Lucia grabbed her by her jacket and shoved her through the burnt remains of the wall which caused her to fall into a pile of broken drywall and wood. Eda flips herself upright dusting off the debris off her jacket and spitting out some dust, impressed by Lucia’s boldness in her attack, “Huh..” She dusts her jacket off once again before actually taking it off entirely revealing her White tank top. “That was cute for a pup” She mutters under her breath.
My turn” Eda said as she walked towards the oldest Noceda rolling her neck from side to side as she transformed Like Luz and Lucia when they were in the locker rooms she looked the same as they did with their Wolf features partially out, Eda’s eyes were blu as her ears were pointed as they twitched hearing the sounds from around them her claws were out as her fangs were extended she growled menacingly at Lucia. “Don’t hurt them too much Eda please..” Lilith called out as the other two watched them circle each other.
Lucia Roars at Eda again and lunges at her, Eda is now properly fixed to fight Lucia grabbed her by her jacket and Tossed her against the wall before yanking her to the other side practically throwing her onto a coffee table. Lucia rolls off the coffee table as she is in a crouched position growling at Eda. Eda who seems to be having fun with this jumped across the table to try and Hit Lucia but The Noceda rolled out of the way before she could.
On the other side of the House, The other siblings watched them go at it, Luz was not interested in fighting but just watching her older sister fight the youngest Clawthorne was stirring awake the beast inside plus the inner turmoil of the outcome of Hopkins was messing her up inside, Lilith noticed this and walked down the stairs, and leaned against the wall next to Luz, “You know it's never good to hold it in, I would suggest going at it now than later. Aren’t you upset about what happened? Upset that you couldn’t control yourself? You and your sister went out to hunt down an innocent man all because of your primal impulse” Lilith said goating Luz which was working Luz’s frown deepened as she continued to watch the brawl. She began to growl “Don’t hold back just let it out” Lilith said in her ear as Lilith pushed her forward. Luz stumbled a bit but made her way to where Eda and her sister were fighting.
Luz started to transform as she snarled making her presence known, Eda’s ear twitched hearing the youngest come in to play she chuckled to herself as Luz easily blended in next to her sister. Good Now the fun can begin. Lilith watched from where she was standing letting her sister handle this. Lucia and Luz were crouched low to the ground as Eda crouched down slightly keeping an eye on them, Then Lucia attacked first Having Eda’s focus on her She was able to land a few hits on Eda before she was shoved away, Lucia landed flat on her back on the floor. Eda stayed low as she watched Lucia get up and stumbled to the coffee table, using it as leverage to stand up to her full height. Eda Roared at her But was taken down by Luz before she could do anything.
Luz was able to land a few hits on her before she kicked her off. Eda got up stunned by the random attack, Lucia then came with a wooden beam that she picked up and used as a weapon against Eda. She raised the beam like a baseball bat and hit Eda hard she fell to the ground rolling backward several times and landing on her back. Lucia Rushed at her again but Eda moved out of the way before Lucia could hit her in the face again. She felt blood trickling down her face from the first hit and didn’t want to feel that again.
Eda stayed on her knees as she used her arm to hit Lucia in her legs to make her flip and land on her back dropping the wooden beam. Lucia now stunned by the impact from her fall was lifted by the throat by Eda. She was lifted off the ground before being slammed repeatedly into the ground twice. Lucia groaned and rolled away onto her knees. She was then kicked in the gut by Eda making her roll into a wooden chest, she recovered quickly as she saw Eda advancing toward her. Lucia perched on the chest. She faked leaping towards Eda, Which Ea fell for and the sound of wood splintering against someone’s head was heard. Eda Grunted as she staggered. Luz held the now broken wooden beam and watched as Eda held her footing nearly falling onto her knee. Eda stood up straight snarling sounding pissed now. With quick movements, she grabbed Luz by the collar of her shirt glaring daggers at her, “That Fucking hurt… Good job” With that being said She punched Luz in the gut Hard causing her to gasp as her eyes instantly returned to their normal brown as well as the rest of her body. With a whimper, she was dropped to the floor holding her stomach in pain. Eda then turned her attention to Lucia who looked pissed seeing her little sister hurt. Before she could react Eda was already on her Eda hit her in the chest so hard that the sound of bones breaking was heard.
This seems to be the final blow in the fight, as Lucia, moaning in pain with a human voice, staggers toward the nearby couch and braces her hands on it, the pain seemingly causing her to turn back just like her sister. Behind her Eda rolled her neck as she reverted to normal. “You done?” Eda said with her arms crossed she still looked pissed as the blood from her now-healed head injury ruined her shirt. Lucia looked at Eda seeing the mess she was in seeing the bloody shirt brought her back to that night when they attacked Hopkins…. The Pair of Red eyes that was there the night she and her sister were bit. Those eyes were there when they attacked.
Lucia sighed as she spoke, “There's another one out here…” Eda whipped the blood off her face with her shirt as Lilith walked to where they were. “It's called an Alpha. It's the most dangerous of our kind. Us four? We're Betas… well me and my sister are you two are omegas. This thing is more powerful, more animal than either of us. Our aunt came here looking for him. Now we’re trying to find him. But, I don't think we can do it without you two.” Lilith said Luz wincing as she sat next to her sister and looked at Lilith, “Why us?” Eda answered this time putting on her jacket. “Because he is the one that bit you guys. And you guys are a part of his pack, He is after you two, especially after that incident with the bus driver,” Lucia and Luz looked at each other with a worried expression not liking this one bit.
Chapter Text
It’s midnight in Graves Field, and a dark blue SUV is strolling down the industrial area, commonly known as the outskirts of Graves Field. The SUV is being driven by a woman named Hettie, who has dark blue hair. She wore black military boots, dark blue jeans, a White shirt, and a black Harley-Davidson jacket. She is listening to the radio. “And in other news, Local authorities remain perplexed by the animal attacks plaguing Graves Field–” Hettie changed the radio station to a music station with a scoff and chuckled in amusement at the ignorance the townspeople have, especially their officials. She adjusted the rearview mirror as she touched up her lip gloss, only half paying attention to the road behind her car. A black figure leaps from one side to another in a blur as it growls under its breath, as the light from the street lamps reveals that it's the Alpha following behind her.
Oblivious Hettie continues to drive as Vegas, By Doja Cat plays on the Radio taps her finger on the steering wheel, and then starts to bob her head to the music, she turns her head to the right missing the sight of the werewolf with glowing red eyes running alongside her on the right, which could be seen through the driver side window, However, when Hettie had her attention back on the road The Alpha receded into the shadows so it wouldn’t be seen. Despite missing the Alpha, Hettie was on high alert, sensing danger nearby like she was trained to do. She visually scans the streets as she continues down the road. When she doesn’t see anything in front or on the side of her, she looks behind her, not seeing anything, no Cars or people in her line of sight.
She turns around the other way one last time to be certain, returning to face forward just in time to see she's about to run a stop sign. A truck turning onto the perpendicular street squeals its tires as the driver hits the brakes and honks loudly, and Kate also comes to a screeching halt in her vehicle. She took a deep breath, closing her eyes as she recovered from the shock before finally opening them. She mutters under her breath as she lightly thumps the back of her head against the headrest of her seat. “Nice driving skills, Hettie. You nearly kill yourself.” She took one last calming breath as she was about to start driving again when something landed on the roof of her SUV, she had just put her car in Park using the same hand to reach back behind her but Suddenly the claws of the Alpha broke her window and grabbed her by her left arm trying to pull her out the car. Hettie immediately fought back, trying to get out of its grip as she screamed. “Shit! Shit! Shit!”
Hettie was able to pull away from the door to reach into her backseat again to grab her shotgun, which she cocks with one hand before shooting the roof of her car, seemingly grazing the Alpha who was braced on it when it was grabbing Hettie through the window, This caused the alpha to let go allowing her to release her seatbelt and somersault out of the car from the passenger side landing in a roll on the ground kneeling against her car she pointed her gun towards the roof of the vehicle. Noticing that the werewolf had long since gone.
She kept her eyes peeled on her surroundings, trying to find out where the Alpha was hiding. Seeing that it’s not coming out, she taunts it to lure it out. “Come on!” she shouts. When she gets no reaction, she tries again, firing a warning shot this time and shouting Louder, “COME ON! I KNOW YOU WANT TO!” She cocked her gun again allowing the shell to fall on the ground with a clatter she scanned the area again with a smile as she was getting enjoyment in this, This is what she thrives for the thrill of the hunt and the chase.
______________________________
At The Park’s House, Luz and Lucia were asleep with Salix and Willow in a nest of blankets, apparently so comfortable that they had shifted into their half-lycan forms in their sleep. When the sound of a shotgun jolted them awake, they looked around in confusion, causing the parks to stir in their sleep, but when they didn’t hear anything, they lay back down and went to sleep. A few minutes later, the unmistakable sound of a wolf's howl woke both Nocedas up with a gasp. They got up and left, leaving Willow and Salix behind.
____________________________
Back with Hettie, feeling that the immediate danger had passed, for now, she held her shotgun under her arm as she made her way to the trunk of her SUV. Once she opened it, she opened a secret compartment revealing a professional Sniper Rifle in a case, which she grabbed with one hand while using the other to open another hidden compartment on the floor of the trunk, which held several handguns, Grenades, flashlights, and a box full of ammunition.
She opened the ammunition box, which contained several black boxes closed on the left and rows of loose rifle bullets separated by size on the right. In the middle of the compartment, she grabbed a wooden box stamped with a purple flower. She opened the box, and inside it were ten brass bullets.
_______________________
At the Blight house, Alaador was on his way out the house with a full heavy-looking duffel bag when his eldest daughter Amelia, who was up in her PJs her hair out of her usual half up half down look heading to the bathroom saw her dad from the balcony foyer, “Dad? What's going on?” she asked with a yawn. Alador turned around seeing his daughter and gave her a smile that didn’t reach his face, “Your aunt Hettie texted she has some car trouble so I'm going to pick her up,” Amilea crossed her arms knowing something was up and also because she is cold she frowned at her dad, “It’s two in the morning though, are you sure everything is okay?” Amelia narrowed her eyes at her dad.
Alador feigned a smile again. “Yes, dear. I promise you it's just car trouble. I'll be back soon. Go back to bed,” He said as he went out the door. He knew his eldest was more perceptive to what was happening around her, but in his mind, she wasn’t ready for the truth—none of them were, at least not yet.
________________
There was another person up this hour joining in on the hunt that was going on in town, and that person was Eda. She had stumbled upon a puddle of blood and dipped her fingers into it, rubbing her thumb against her Middle and index fingers together as she tried to figure out who it came from. She had a guess, but she wanted to make sure. She pauses to let her senses help her track down this mysterious Alpha.
Her ear twitched when she heard a noise from above and saw the Alpha. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw the Alpha on the roof of a nearby building. When the beast noticed that Eda was staring at it, it rushed away, climbing up the side of a taller building and growling under its breath. “Oh, hell no… where do you think you're going?” Eda muttered. She shifted and followed the Alpha.
Back on the street, Hettie had closed the back of her trunk to her SUV with her Sniper rifle in hand as she walked back to the front of her car to close the passenger door as she jogged to where she heard the sound of the Alpha climbing up the side of the building, a flashlight in her free hand lighting the way.
Meanwhile, Eda continued to chase the Alpha, running down the alley with rows of warehouses, leaping and hurdling over boxes and generators before making it to some scaffolding on the side of another building. She jumps onto it and uses it to grab the gutter by the roof before hoisting herself onto it. She runs alongside it as she tries to catch up with the Alpha. She leaps onto the corner of the roof of the building next door and gets in a tripod stance as she visually tracks the Alpha, leaping across a roof several buildings away. Eda then gets to her feet and sets off into a run to get a head start to leap across a gap between two buildings, when Hettie, who has been visually tracking her as well with her rifle sights, takes aim and shoots. Eda was hit mid-jump, and the shock of getting shot caused her to lose the momentum she needed to make it across the next roof. She falls, rolling down the side of the roof and landing hard on the cement ground between the buildings. “Ah Fuck! Are you kidding me?” Eda groaned in pain.
Hettie smirked, having taken one of the Werewolves down. She grabbed her flashlight which she had put down as she was tracking Eda, and turned just in time to see Alador pull up in his SUV, illuminating her face with his headlights, which he turned off as she turned off her flashlight and walked up to her Brother with an impassive look on her face. Several yards away, Eda was still recovering from the fall and her gunshot wound as she tried to catch her breath. She clawed at the ground, and deep claw marks were seen on the ground. She growled in pain as she painfully pushed herself into a sitting position, but the pain she felt in her left arm had her fall back with a wince. “Aah! Fuck…”
Alador got out of his SUV as Hettie approached him, and it was clear that he wasn’t happy at all with his sister as he pulled her by the arm towards her car. “Get in,” he said sternly. Hettie just scoffed at him, “No 'Hello”? Or a “How are you?” that's rude, Alador”, Hettie said in mock offense in a sarcastic tone. Alador just stared at her with impatience, “All I got to say to you is put the Rifle away before someone notices”, Hettie rolled her eyes, not taking this seriously at all, “That's the brother I know and love”, Unbeknownst to them a few yards away Luz and Lucia were there hiding by a shed and the peeked around the corner, listening to their conversation, Hettie sound defensive as she defended her actions, “Aladora there were two of them”, Hettie said as Alador raised his eyebrow in a questioning manner, “The Alpha?” Hettie shrugs, “That I don’t know, but one of them tried to kill me–”
Alador cut off his sister, already knowing where this was going, voicing his displeasure again, knowing that Hettie had shot the werewolf but didn’t know which one without asking her. Luz and her elder sister cocked their heads in confusion, not having all the puzzle pieces together to figure out what they were talking about. “One of them will lead us to the other, but she can’t do that if she is dead,” Alador said, crossing his arms hettie scoffed this time she was slightly offended, “Well I can’t help killing either of them if one tries to kill me first,” Alador sighs knowing she right just asked his next question, “How long will it take to give?” Hettie hummed in thought, “Give her forty-eight hours…” Luz gasped silently, hearing this as the situation got dire for the person who was shot, because they could die quickly at that. “If that…” Hettie finished as she walked past her brother and got in his car.
Eda, still lying on the ground, pulls herself back with her right arm until she's right in front of the wall of the nearby shed, allowing her to lean against it as he cradles his injured left arm against her chest. Once she's in a stable position, she pulls up the sleeve of his injured arm and is shocked to find that not only is the bullet wound through her inner forearm—barely an inch below the crook of her elbow- not healing, but it's smoking with a mysterious purple-blue vapor. Eda winces once again and tries to figure out how she can treat this wound, looking understandably panicked as she does so. “Fuck…”
_____________________________________
It’s now morning, Hettie is standing by the bed in the guest room as she unpacks her bags, thinking about what had happened earlier this morning. Squeals of excitement bring her out of her thoughts. Amity, Amilea Edric, and Emira run up to their aunt, still in their PJs with smiles on their faces, having Hettie gasp in excitement as well as her nieces and her only nephew hugged her. Look at you guys! I haven't seen you in a year and you look like frickin’ fashion models!” Everyone had different reactions to that. The twins took that in pride as Emira flipped her hair behind her. Edric smiled proudly, and Amilea rolled her eyes playfully as Amity blushed bashfully, looking away. “Aunty…” Amity said with a groan, “I'm serious though you guys look amazing,” Hettie continued as they all sat on their aunt's bed, “I bet you guys got some people fawning over you,” Emira smirked at this, “Well… these two have two of them each,” Amity And her Eldest sister gasps, “Emira!”
They shouted at the same time, “It's not even official yet…” Amelia blurted out She heard her brother and sister laugh realizing what she said, “Fuck…” Her aunt laughs with her twin siblings, “A- Anyway, do you need help unpacking?” Amity asked, reaching for a bag. Hettie looked over, seeing it was back with the secret she shouldered. “Oh, not that one, sweetheart. That has some important stuff. Don't want you to mess with it.” Amity paused and pulled her hand away. “Sorry…” Hettie smiled. “It's okay, kiddo.” Hettie grabbed the bag and placed it under her bed. With a smile, “Oh! Is everything okay with your car?” Amelia asked, changing the subject. “Hmm? Oh yeah, someone tried to rob my car while I was filling it up on the way here. Everything is all good now.” Amelia nodded, believing her for now. “Okay! We’ll leave you to it. Come on, guys, we need to head to school.”
______________________
We are now at Hexside, Class has started and trouble quad is in class Salix and Willow are in front of Lucia and Luz as the teacher passes out graded test paper Salix looks out curiously in thought while Willow has her eyes outside in thought not even paying attention to the teacher but the werewolf Update that their potential lovers told them. Salix then turned around to face Lucia. Willow did the same, facing the werewolves. “Okay, so we obviously know that Eda and Lilith are not the Alpha that bit you two… But if they aren’t, then who is? That's the million-dollar question right now.” Lucia nods in agreement.
“Plus, it had you guys kill the bus driver, which could be good or bad, but does The Blight's dad know about the Alpha?” Willow asked in a whisper. Luz shrugged in response. “We don’t know, but we think he does after what we heard,” Salix hummed as she looked down at her paper, saw an A on her test, and looked at her sisters, who got the same grade. “As expected,” Salix said, then looked at Lucia’s paper, seeing a B, and then at Luz, who had an A. “Okay how is that possible we studied together,” Lucia sighed looking at her paper,” you forget that we are currently going through stuff, mixed up some answers is all,” Salix accepted this answer, “Understandable but we are still studying after school with Ames and Amity, don’t forget,”
Lucia chuckled. There was no way it would just be a study session, and they knew that. “Yeah, yeah, just chill with the questions, okay?” Salix nodded. Alright, no more questions about the Alpha,” Salix said. Or Eda and Lilith…” Willow shivered at the thought. “Yeah, especially Eda. I honestly think she's insane…” She said this as their attention went to the lesson at hand.
__________________________________
Some heavy breathing is heard as two pairs of footsteps were heard walking down the hallway, People were moving out of their way seeing them in a rush, “We’re almost there Edalyn hold on,” Lilith said carrying her sister who looked pale well paler than usual and she is sweating like she was locked in a sauna as the effects of the bullet wound from earlier this morning, “Yea jeez thanks Lil I feel better already,” Eda nearly trips on her footing as she talked luckily Lilith held her up. “You're lucky that you’re sick. I would drop you here and let you rot, I swear-” Eda chuckled, hearing her sister, then coughed. “You won’t,” Eda said. “Don’t test me...” Lilith responded.
Lilith and Eda perked up when they caught a familiar scent. They looked up and saw Brook and Boscha, as they remembered them from the Baseball game the other night. With a quick adjustment, she carried Eda towards them. The Havenstars were grabbing their stuff for class when they slammed their locker closed. They were face-to-face with the Clawthornes. “Where are Luz and Lucia Noceda?” Eda asked as she straightened up just a bit to look intimidating. Despite her looks, Lilith did the same as she glared at the two. Brook looked at her little sister before looking at the other two, “And we should tell you because?” Lilith answered this time, “Because we are asking nicely, which we like to do once, so answer the question,” She said impatiently.
Boscha seeing this as an opportunity to find out about whatever is going on with the Nocedas decided to jump in seeing how bad Eda looks, “ Fine we’ll help but you tell us what boost you gave them,” Eda looked at her confused, “What the fuck are you talking about?” Brook joined in on the questioning, realizing where her sister was going with this, “What is it? Is it, uh, Dianabol? Hmm? HGH?” Lilith seeing what was going on here just sighed in annoyance, “It's called practice, something people do and just because they are better than you doesn’t mean that they are on steroids, Now if you are not going to help then we are going to find them ourselves,” Lilith said walking away with her sister as she felt blood dripping down her arm she looked at her sisters arm seeing it bleeding and cursed under her breath.
Brook, desperate for answers, was not done with them. “Hey! We are not done talking here.” As soon as Eda was touched with some strength in the tank, she twisted Brook's arm and slammed her into the locker, holding her down by the neck. “Fuck!” Eda winces and notices the blood from her hands as well as her claws, Eda clicks her tongue as she removes her hand from Brook’s neck seeing the divots, “Sh- Shit…” Eda tipped as if about to faint but was caught by her sister again, “Damn it, Eda..” Lilith quickly got out of the area to look for the Nocedas as things were getting worse.
Lilith was able to swing around a non-busy corner and set her sister on the floor so she could catch her breath while she tried to find out where Luz and Lucia were using her improved hearing to pinpoint their location. First, Lilith hears the sound of a teacher writing on the chalkboard, which is then overshadowed by the sound of rock music coming from the headphones of a student passing by.
Then, it moves to the sound of a student in the middle of a phone call in one of the adjacent hallways, “I'm finished with Baseball practice at five o'clock. I'll be over after that,” The flurry of sounds continues as though Lilith's hearing sense is traveling around the school, the clicking noise of a student turning their combination lock to their locker, another student texting on an iPhone, and other environmental noises before Lilith finally overhears a conversation the Blights and Skara and Gus are having in the nearby staircase, “So you got Salix Willow Luz and Lucia coming over?” Gus asked.
Amity nodded. “Yeah, just for a study session. They offered to help us catch up because there is a lot that we are missing,” She said. Emira nodded in agreement, Me and Ed are going to the local library to study, so they could have their fun time together ‘Studying’,” Emira said as Edric chuckled they both got a smack in the back of their heads as a response, “It’s Not like that,” Amilea said in irritation the twins had been teasing her and Amity all day and it pissed her off. “Girl, High School Study sessions don’t always end in study sessions, just to let you know. But don’t worry, I can help ya out. Don’t be afraid to give them a little taste,” Skara said as Gus jumped in. “One thing’s for sure: You both got the most loyal people here under your thumbs.” Skara nodded in agreement.
Lilith who was listening to their conversation rolled her eyes in annoyance but was shocked to hear that The oldest and the youngest care For the Nocedas as she continued to listen to their conversation, glancing at her sister who seemed to be getting worse but her breathing was even, SHe kicked her sister’s leg to keep her awake, Eda groaned in protest, “Man you two are hooked aren’t you?” Skara asked Amity looked away, “Well it's not my fault that they are so nice and friendly I for sure wasn’t planning on having a relationship because we always move, But they were so nice and so dorky, Luz is sweet but is protective Willow is smart but strong and protective, And when I saw her get hurt during the game, I wanted to jump down there and fight the person who did that,” Amity said with a blush.
Amelia nodded in agreement, “I mean Lucia and Salix are like two peas in a pod, but she keeps Noceda in check, and they are super protective of their siblings. I can’t help but feel this pull towards them…” Skara and Gus nodded in understanding. “Ah, that's fair, or maybe it's because your brain is flooded with phenylethylamine… Look it up,” Sakara said. Gus rolled his eyes, knowing what she was talking about. He may be the youngest, but he wasn’t innocent, don’t ask. “When are they supposed to come over?” Edric answered for them, “After school.” Amity groaned in annoyance. “I swear…” Skara hummed, “I see… we got time.” Suddenly, the bell rang for class. Lilith covered her ears, startled by the sound because she was focused on listening. Eda whimpered at the noise. Once the sound was finished, Lilith realized that she needed to find the Nocedas before they left to go to the Blights’ place, so she carried Eda on her back this time and went to track them down.
_____________________
Hours later, School was over and Willow and Salix were going to get some stuff from the store before heading to the Blight’s place, they got in the jeep and put their stuff in the back Salix was pulling out of the parking lot when suddenly Lilith Carrying Eda walked in the middle of the street causing Salix to hit the breaks, “What the hell?!” Willow sank into her seat. “Oh no…” Meanwhile, Lucica and Luz were grabbing stuff out of their locker when they heard honking outside. With frowns of confusion on their faces, they went outside with their stuff to see what was going on. Once they stepped out, they couldn’t believe what they saw as they saw Lilith holding a very sick-looking Eda. “Oh, this is not good…” Luz said that while Lucia was saying profanities in Spanish like a sailor, they both rushed over there.
Hornes continued to honk loudly, which got irritating as many student drivers were stalled due to the stunt. The Clawthornes pulled Salix, and Willow had gotten out of the car to see what was up. And just to make matters worse, students were trying to be nosy to see what the commotion was about. Lucia and Luz rushed over in exasperation and looked at Willow and Salix for answers, they got a shrug in response So they looked to the Otherre werewolves, “What the fuck?” Lucia asked, “Eda got shot.” Lilith responded as Salix frowned, “And she isn’t healing because?” Salix asked Eda growled in irritation, “Because four-eyes whatever the bitch shot me with isn't a normal… bullet–” Willow brightened at that, “Like a silver bullet?” Eda was irritated due to the excessive honking as she closed her eyes tightly feeling a wave of pain, “No damn it!- Fuck…” she growled out as her eyes started to flash between the bright blue and her normal gold. Lucia helped Eda up and put her inside the Jeep so nobody would see Eda. “Can you stop that?” Eda shook her head no weakly, “I can’t...” Okay, that is concerning.
Luz was in thought as she started to put the pieces together from what they heard this morning, “That's why she said forty-eight hours….” Luz said out loud, and Lucia’s eyes widened in realization. Lilith and Eda, on the other hand, looked panicked. “Who said that?” Lilith asked, “The person who shot you?” Eda started to panic, hearing that more of her features were slowly becoming wolf-like as she breathed heavily. Lilith looked at the four of them. “I need you four to find the bullet they used. I don't care where you put us to keep us out of harm's way, but I’m not losing my sister.” Salix looked over to Lucia, who nodded, “Okay… we'll try.” Luz's ears twitched, hearing footsteps approaching, and turning around, and saw the Blights approaching.
“Uh oh, time to go, Salix. Get them out of here and meet us at their place. We'll make a plan from there,” Salix nodded as she and her little sister got in the car and pulled off. Just as they pulled off, the Blights stood next to them with looks of confusion. “What happened?” Lucia shrugged it off. “Some homeless person decided to pass out in front of Salix’s Car, so they took them to the Hospital,” Amilea nodded, believing the story. “Unexpected things tend to happen, huh?” She said, looking at Lucia, who nodded. “Unfortunately,” Luz and Amity just looked at each other and shrugged. “Anyway, are we still on for the study session?” Luz asked with a smile at Amity, who blushed with a nod, “Um, yeah, me, you, and Willow will be in my room while our siblings will be in Amelia's.” Luz smiled at that. “Cool, we’ll see you later then?” Amity nodded before dragging her siblings away with a wave of goodbye.
Once they were gone, their smiles disappeared as they began their walk to The Clawthorne House.
___________________________
At The Clawthorne House, Lilith, Eda, Willow, and Salix were waiting for Lucia and Luz. “She's starting to smell bad; that's not good…” Willow said as Salix was pacing “They need to hurry up I’m Not going to be stuck babysitting a dying werewolf,” Salix said glaring at Eda who was fully shifted growling at them like an injured animal warning them to back off, Luckily Lilith was keeping her calm so she doesn’t kill them on an accident. “Fortunately, I’ll stay behind while you guys get the bullet, but if you don’t get it in time, I’ll have to resort to desperate measures…” Lilith said as Luz and Lucia ran up to the house, hearing the end of Lilith's sentence. “What do you mean by that?” Luz worried, “You won’t have to find out if you bring the bullet. Now go and don’t get distracted, please… your Teen hormones can wait-” Lucia growled at Lilith, “Shut it… Let's go before I change my mind.” The squad piled into the car and headed to the Blights’ place.
Lilith watched them leave as her sister lay on her lap, holding her shivering and looking worse than a few hours ago. The bags under her eyes were darker, and she was getting weaker. And Lilith didn’t like seeing her sister like this. “Please hurry…”
____________________________
Meanwhile, with The quad, they had just pulled up to the blight House at the same time as Amilea and Amity, salix honked her horn to grab their attention rolling down her window and poking her head out, “We’ve brought snacks!” Amity waved at them. Amelia was confused. “How– You came here at the same time as us, so how?” Salix chuckled as she got out of the car followed by Lucia and the others, “Princess, When You live here long enough you learn shortcuts that get you to places quicker,” Amilea couldn’t say anything as Salix walked up to her hearing what she said, “Did you just call me princess? " Yes, I princess,” Salix chuckled as Lucia joined in, “Sur,e Princess, So what should we start with first? Math? Science? History? English?” Amity chuckled as Willow and Luz laughed along with her at their siblings' shenanigans. “Let's start with English. No one will be for a few hours,” Amity said as she dragged Willow and Luz inside. The elder siblings watched them go, “There's no way I'm having them get a head start, nope, no way,” Salix heads in the other following them.
Once inside, Amity brought Luz and Willow into her room, which was purple and had a lot of comics on the good witch Azura and some other stuff., “Oh look, Luz, she reads Good Witch Azura, and is that Avatar?!” Willow said as she saw the Avatar comics, “Holy shit I officially like you more,” Amity blushed at that, “Uh yea I was inspired to use a bow and arrow because of it,” Amity rubbed the back of her neck nervously. Willow raised an eyebrow. Luz had her head tilted curiously. “Hey, are you okay?” Luz asked, looking a bit worried.
Amity sat next to Luz as she looked at both of them. “Nothing. I just don't wanna make you feel like you have to do something you don't wanna do…” Willow was confused until she wondered why Amity was nervous around her and Luz. It hit her, ‘Oh, that’s the problem’, Willow thought as she sat in front of Amity, “Well, We are not going to force you to do something you don’t want to do we can study now and relax later,” Amity nodded and pulled out her textbooks, “Okay,” Amity smiled gratefully as The three studied together.

Meanwhile, with the older siblings, Amilea had taken Lucia and Salix into her room, which was the total opposite of her younger sisters. Her room is darker, with some similarities, but more adult. Salix and Lucia looked around in awe as they observed her room. “You are an interesting princess,” Salix said as she looked at the posters of different bands and shows. Lucia, on the other hand, was looking at a photo of the woman she had seen earlier. “Hey, who is this?” Lucia asked as Amilea faced them. “Oh, that’s our aunt, Hettie. She's my dad’s sister, she just got in last night.”
Salix and Lucia glanced at each other, then turned back to Amilea. “Did you take the picture?” Salix asked as Amilea scoffed with an eye roll, “Yeah, when I thought that I was a decent photographer,” Salix looked at Amelia, “These are good, besides the lighting being off and the framing is a bit off, but this is good work,” Amilea scoffed at that yeah, nothing but terrible work when I thought I was good at art, I tried so many things. Still, I was horrible,” Lucia said, looking up from the photos curiously, hearing what she said. Amelia looked at them, narrowing her eyes at them, “For the love of god, don't laugh, okay? My little sister and I are way too alike, but in our own way. The twins? They have their interests… I swear there is something weird about my family,” The eldest blight said as she led Salix and Lucia to a different room. In that room, there were various weapons behind cages and cases, from various guns down to crossbows, swords, and other melee-type weapons. Amilea pulled out twin Katanas that were next to a Compact Bo and two sets of dual pistols. Salix's eyes widened in surprise while Lucia winced, “Oh, Hell, you are a swordsman? That's cool,” Amilea nodded, “Yeah, well was the best thing I found out about took classes and even did tournaments, Amity is Amazing at archery, and Ed and Emira are good marksmen with the pistols, All gold achievers here, But My family are not some Gun psychos, My dad and mom sells firearms to law enforcement,” Salix was rubbing Lucia’s back in sympathy, “So are you going to join the family business?” They asked the eldest Blight as she examined her blades, “Depends on what you think about princesses with weapons?” Amilia spoke flirtatiously. “Trust us, we are shaking in our boots, princess,” Salix responded.
The sound of footsteps was heard as Alador came into the room where the older kids were with bags of groceries.s, “Mind helping out? I already got your other friends helping,” Amilea nodded at her father, “Yeah sure,” Amilea looked at the other two, “So still down to study?” Lucia shrugged, “I don’t mind, But I don't think dear old dad wants us here,” Salix nodded in agreement, “Oh, what crazy talk, emerald eyes and crimson, You two and the other kids are staying over for dinner,” Alador, didn’t like that idea, “No, hettie I– Actually you know what if you two and your siblings are going to date my kids might as well get to know each other,” Lucia uh okay let me make a call real quick, and we’ll help out…” Lucia said as she stayed behind as the others helped the Blights with the groceries.
_______________
Meanwhile, with Eda and Lilith, the eldest Clawthorne was getting impatient while waiting for the others to return or just for a progress report. “Come on… come on….” Lilith grumbled as she paced. Eda, who looked worse than before, watched her sister. “Lily… relax. They’ll get it on time. They are in a house full of hunters. They’ll get the bullet… Man, I’m tired…” Eda labored out as she lay on the porch. “Ugh, I smell like death…” Eda grumbled out tiredly.
Lilith was about to say something when her phone rang. She answered immediately after guessing who it was. “This better be good news… Pup,” Lilith growled out as she could practically hear Lucia roll her eyes, “There has been a slight change of plans one I'm going to need you to move locations to the animal clinic and two we’ve been invited to stay for dinner but once the bullet is found we’ll meet you there, the spare key is under the welcome mat.” Lilith sighed, hearing that, “Okay… I'm giving you more time, but if it seems my sister is getting worse, I'm cutting her arm off,” Lilith said. “Hear you loud and clear, Clawthorne,” Lucia responded before hanging up.
“Okay, Sister, we are moving locations,” Eda groaned and whined. “I don’t wanna! I’m too tired, and it hurts, but I don’t want to die.” Lilith frowned softly and picked up her sister, “You won't be dying, you will make it through this. I promise you,” she said as she headed to her car and placed her sister in the back, then moved to the driver's side and drove to the Pet Clinic. “just hold on a little bit longer Eda,”
_______________________________________
Back with the others, dinner has begun. The Blights and the other four awkwardly enjoy dinner. The Nocedas and Parks are in the second part of their dating lives, which means meeting the parents/ family.
“So, Lucia, Salix, would you like some-” Before Alador could finish his question, Lucia put her hand up. “MRI. Blight, before you ask, the answer is no. We are aware of what you are trying to do, and it won't work, so please don't try the stereotypical dad questions, and ask the get-to-know-you questions,” Lucia Ate some salad after speaking, Silencing Alador While Hettie smiled, “I like this one,” Lucia shivered in discomfort after hearing that.
“Respectable, you like to get things over quickly; I like that in a person. Okay then, let me ask the questions.” The voice belongs to the Blights' matriarch, the second head of the House, Mistress Odalia Blight. Odaliah wore a beautiful black and lavender blouse with golden flower patterns, matching black pants, and slacks. Now her face, well you can see where Her eldest children got their looks from her piercing sky blue eyes bore into the souls of their guests, “Since we’ll strain from the basic questions My kids cannot stop talking about the stars of Hexside's Baseball team, My husband tells me that you three we amazing by the way, I used to play a long time ago,” Odaliah said but Hettie snickered, “Yea if you called playing missing all of your catches then yea you were great I would say that doing fencing was your best sport,”
Odaliah rolled her eyes at her sister-in-law. “Yes, yes, Hettie, great news for all of us. Anyways—” Odalia was about to finish when Lucia’s phone began to ring. To Odalia’s Annoyance, Lucia excused herself from the table. “Sorry. It's my Mother. I have to take this.” Lucia stepped away, raising her phone. To her ear, “¿Oye? ¿Qué pasa, mamá?” Lucia was heard talking on the phone as she left the dining room. Salix watched her go and decided to keep the conversation going, “So are we going to sit here in silence or…” She was kicked under the table by her little sister. “Ow!” Willow gave her a look, Be nice Salix grumbled.
Odaliah sighs, “I give up… You may converse among yourselves; I’ll continue my discussion later.” With that, everyone begins to chat.
Meanwhile, Lucia has made her way upstairs still on the phone with her mother as she sneakily goes inside Hettie's room looking for anything that involves her side hustle as a hunter, “Si, mama, we know that day is coming up,” Lucia checks under the bed and saw a duffle bag, She grins Wolfishly and pulls it out and opens it revealing bullets and and Some other: weaponry and a wooden box. “Yes, Mom, we told the coach. She's letting us go for that day, and I'm bringing her a fidget so she can focus. You don't need to worry about anything else but getting the flowers and stuff, okay?” Lucia opened the box, saw the case of bullets, and hummed as she heard her mom. She took a quick picture of it and sent it to Lilith took a bullet and put it in her pocket, closing the box and putting everything away like it was never touched.
“Yo también te amo mamá, nos vemos luego,” Lucia hangs up going out of the room, Where Hettie was standing there with her arms crossed. “Is everything okay there?” Hettie asked with fake concern. Lucia wasn't impressed and kept a cold face. “Yes, my mom was making sure everything was good. You know how Moms are,” Lucia said as she walked away.
As she was walking away, her phone buzzed in her pocket. Checking it, she saw a message from Lilith about the bull, which was in all caps, “BRING THE BULLET NOW!” Lucia hummed, seeing the response heading back to the dining room.
_______________________________________
Once Lucia came back down with Hettie, she tapped her. Sister on the shoulder and signaling the other two that it was time to go, “Sorry, we really should get going, there is a curfew in effect and my mom wants us home, you know how it is,” Salix nods as Willow gets out of her seat, “Thanks. For the. Dinner Mr and. Mrs. Blight,” Willow said with a polite smile. Hettie had sat at the table eyeing the four teens, “Aw, man. We were already just about to have some cheesecake for dessert. Come on stay a bit longer,” Odaliah nodded in agreement, “The kids were telling us about your second encounter with them regarding your side jobs as vets,” Amilah looked at Lucia with a sheepish smile, “I was telling them about how you put the cast on the dog that I hit,” Edric scoffed “Yea. You're supposed to be the best driver in our family and nearly had a body count on ya,” Edric said, which earned a glare from his older sister.
The four teens exchanged glances, engaging in a silent conversation. Lucia sighed and forced a sad smile, saying, “We’d love to stay, but our parents prioritize our safety, especially considering the recent animal attacks. We need to go home.” The adults at the table nodded in acceptance. “Well, that is fair,” Alador said,
“One thing before you go, what does your boss think about the animal attacks? Any theories?” Luz and Lucia shook their heads no, “They believe that it's a mountain lion not uncommon to have an attack like that, And I agree with them even though We work with cats and dogs,” Luz said as she was quiet the whole time because she wasn’t familiar with her surroundings the comfort of being around Willow and Amity kept her from freaking out. “Have you two dealt with a rabid dog?” Odaliah asked, watching the reactions of their guests, “Can’t say I have. My boss usually takes care of those,” Lucia said, looking at the matriarch with a straight face.
“Well, I have, I grew up with a lot of dogs. I saw one get rabies from a bat. It was transferred through the bite. You know, people think that a rabid dog suddenly goes mad. It's a lot more gradual. The first stage is subtle changes in behavior-- they're restless and morose. It's the second stage that people know-- the furious phase. That's when they attack. And we're talking about any moving object,”
Lucia kept a stoic face as Odaliah told her story, “Well, that must have been traumatizing for you.” Odaliah nodded, “It was. Did you know that a caged rabid dog will break its teeth trying to chew through the bars? It'll even rear back and snap its spine. Can you imagine the amount of force it would take to do that? It's a complete character reversal. This harmless animal... turned into a perfectly vicious killer. And it all started with that one bite.”
Amilea raised an eyebrow, wondering why her mother was telling this story, oblivious to its meaning, “So it did die from the disease, right? To put it out of its misery?” Odaliah nodded, “Well, yes, your grandfather shot it, and it wasn’t out of mercy. He did it because it was too dangerous. Something that is out of control is better off dead.”
Lucia narrowed her eyes slightly at the story and knowing the meaning behind it smiled politely, “Thanks for the warning about rabid animals fortunately it’s the 21st century and there's a medication for that, poor dog though, Thanks for the dinner, It was… interesting,” Lucia said as she headed out of the dining room. Amilea and Amity followed the eldest, giving a subtle glare to their parents.
Outside of the Blight house Amity and her elder sister were standing by the car with the others, their faces filled with guilt and a bit of disappointment, “We are so sorry about that you guys all of that shouldn't have happened in the first palace,” Lucia Waves her off shaking her head Salix doing the same, “It's fine, My mom did the same thing with these two and their dad did the same thing with us, no big deal,” The Blight Sisters sighed in relief, “That's good, Well I guess we'll be seeing each other at school?” Amity asked, “Of course, Mini-me, But Gotta deal with her first.” Amilea and Amity looked at Salix, confused. “Who?” They both said at the same time.
“That would be me,” Hettie said, stepping out to where the teens were. “I didn't think I would be noticed so easily, but I want to ask your friend Lucia something.” Amilea frowned at her aunt while Lucia looked confused. “And that is?” Hettie ignored her and focused on Lucia. “What did you take out of my room?” Salix stepped up defensively. “Uh, are you trying to stereotype my friend here? That's rude.” Lucia took a step back near her sister while Salix quietly reprimanded Hettie in a voice only Luz could hear. She told Luz where the bullet was, which her sister grabbed and put in her pocket.
Once that was done, Lucia placed a hand on her Friend’s Shoulder, “It’s cool. She can search me if she wants, I'm not hiding anything,” Salix looked at Lucia. “Are you sure? You don't have to prove anything to her,” Lucia looked at Salix with a smile, “Aye we’ve been through this stuff before ain't nothing new, She ain't gonna find anything but my Keys phone, and wallet,” Lucia Smirks as she spreads her limbs apart as Hettie Glares at her and checks her.
What she found was what Lucia said she was going to find in her pockets which she frowned at she glanced at the others which Lucia caught as she growled slightly, “Don't Even think about it Hijo de puta, They got nothing to do with it,” Lucia said, getting defensive when she saw Hettie glance at Her younger sister and friends. Hettie backed off with her hands raised, “Easy tiger.” Hettie smiled a bit, “Now, if you excuse us, we're going home.” Lucia said, giving a nod to Amity and Amilea before hopping in the car and heading to the Animal clinic. The Blights watched them leave before Amelia stormed off back in the house, “I can't believe you just did that, what the heck is wrong with everyone today?!” Amity looked at her aunt with disappointment before heading inside, following her sister.
_______________________________________
Back at the Animal Clinic, Eda was growling as she felt her body trying to heal itself from the wound, but because of what was in the bullet, it was killing her at the same time she took off her shirt due to the rising temperature of her body revealing the the black veins spreading out form her wound. Lilith for one isn't happy about this, “Nope I can't wait anymore Eda we are cutting your arm off you smell more and more like death every minute I'm not sitting here and watching you die,” Lilith said grabbing a bone saw, Eda yelped scooting back but ended up falling because she's was weak, “Hey hey hey wait no, you know they-” Eda Winces as another wave of pain pulses through her body, “They got the bullet from the bitch who shot me, Just wait a bit longer, I'm not going to be walking around here with one fucking arm!” Eda shouted, but Lilith kept advancing, “Sorry, sister, but desperate times call for desperate measures…” Lilith said as she advanced on her sister, who crawled away from her, “Lilith, I swear to God! Back the fuck up!”
Lilith ignored her sister and held her down, keeping the injured arm out. Eda was growling, struggling to get her sister off her, but couldn't. Eda watched as the blade slowly approached her arm, “Lilith! Let me go!” Again Lilith said nothing as the blade touched her sister's arm but before she could do anything the door opened to the clinic Both Sisters looked over seeing Lucia and the gang, “Damn you were going to do it? Ye have little faith in us kids.” Salix said as she and Willow chilled in a Corner of the room.
Lilith got off her sister and helped her up. Luz came over with the bullet in hand. “Okay, we got the bullet; what are you going to do?” Luz held the bullet as she and her sister approached the other two werewolves. She gave the bullet to Eda, who held it up while keeping herself propped up on the table, blinking slowly and looking like she was about to pass out. “I’m going- I’m going to” Suddenly, Eda fainted, dropping to the floor, hitting her head on the table, and releasing the bullet, which rolled into the vent in the clinic. “EDA!” “No!” Lucia, Luz, and Lilith shouted. Lilith shook her sister, trying to wake her, but Eda wasn’t responsive. “Come on, Eda, wake up!” Lucia rushed to the vent, using her phone flashlight to search for the bullet. “Okay, I see it! Luz, get the bullet. Willow, shine the light so she can see. Salix, grab the smelling salts from the cabinet to the right and give them to me.” Luz gets to work on grabbing the bullet, but only the tips of her fingers can touch it, and not fully grab it. “Dang it!” Luz said as she barely grabbed the bullet. “Luz, you need to focus, remember you have claws.” Luz looked at Willow, “What? Oh!” Luz closes her eyes and focuses. Her pointer finger and her thumb become claws as she grabs the bullet and takes it out. “I got it!”
Salix, on the other hand, grabbed the smelling salts and gave them to Lucia. Lucia opened the salts and put them under Eda's nose. Eda jolts awake, punching Lucia in the face on instinct, “Ow, what the Hell?!” Lucia shouted in pain, holding her nose, “Shut up, you’ll heal.” Eda held her head, “Where is the bullet?” Luz gives the bullet to Eda. She immediately bites the bullet to release the wolfsbane, “Get this Bullet out of me, Lils, I need to burn this.” Eda said as she pulled a lighter out of her pocket and burned the flower, which let out a bluish purple wisp of smoke. Lilith removed the bullet with her claws and tossed the bullet somewhere. Eda then puts the ashes in the bullet wound, even going as far as to dig her finger into the wound to make the process go faster. After she did that, she clenched her fist in pain as the wound began to heal. She clawed the floor with a grunt, leaving claw marks on the floor. “Great, how the ufck am I going to explain that?” Lucia said in a grumble.
Eda put her shirt back on and her jacket, “So I have one question for you about the Blights. Do you trust them?” She said, looking at Lucia and Luz. Lucia rolled her eyes, “The only Ones we trust are the kids. They don’t know about what their parents are doing, but their aunt…. I don't like her.”Eda raised an eyebrow, “Why, because she shot me?” Eda asked. Lucia shook her head no. “She’s smart and there's something else about her, I don’t know though.” Luz nodded her head in agreement, “Quick question, why do you hate the Blights anyways?’’
Luz asked Eda and Lilith. In response, they took the kids to a residential home. “What are we doing here?” Luz asked, but she didn’t get a response. Luz sighed as they followed them inside. They were led to a room where a guy was sitting in a chair, staring at the night sky. They couldn’t get the details because he wasn’t facing them. Salix looked at the guy, confused. “Who is that?” Salix asked, standing next to Lucia, Willow doing the same with Luz. “That is our great-uncle Philip….” Lilith said as she and her sister entered the room, “And before you ask, yes, he is a Werewolf like us… Well, he's barely human at this point…”
Eda turned the chair Philip faced toward the others and gasped in shock upon seeing a guy in a comatose-like state. Philip wore white patient scrubs, and his face was covered in burn scars that had not healed. His long brown hair was tied in a ponytail, with a few strands falling across his face. His silver eyes stared blankly at the four children. Lucia glanced at Lilith and asked, “Why hasn't he healed yet if he is a werewolf?”
Lilith kept her stoic face the whole time, “I'm guessing it’s due to the trauma of the day of the fire that happened six years ago Me and my sister were attending school when our house caught fire Eleven people were in that house trapped in the house and by some luck he is the only survivor of the fire.” Luz frowned at this, “So what makes you think that they caused the fire?” Luz asked curiously.
Eda took a breath. “Because they were the only ones who knew about us, what they did was unjust. They follow rules and only kill adults if there's evidence that justifies it. Half of our family in that fire were practically normal, human, even, yet they suffered that day. That is what they do. Eventually, it's what your new friends will do.” Luz mulled over what Eda said and looked at Willow. “Wouldn't that mean they have a code to follow? Then that would mean…” “Someone doesn't like to follow the rules,” Willow finished Luz's sentence.
“That's not good at all. You two need to be careful around the Blights, especially Hettie. She's been eyeing you all night, and as for Alador and Odaliah, I don't know yet, but just be cautious,” Salix said, already thinking about who caused this mess in the first place. “Great, this is going to be harder than I thought,” Lucia sighed. Then a woman of short stature entered to see the crew. “It's past visiting hours. How did you get in here?” Salix, startled by the nurse, turned to face her. “Sorry, someone let us in. We didn't realize our time was up. We'll get out of your hair.” The nurse narrowed her eyes as she watched them leave.
_______________________________________
Meanwhile back at the Blight Residence, Amilea was walking out of Amity's room after calming down. She was on her phone calling someone but it went straight to voicemail, “hey Lucia I was just trying to get you before you went to bed but it seems that I did…. Anyways I wanted to call to apologize for what happened at the diner. I promise to make it up to you guys, And uh our siblings too. Yea see you at school, Bye.” Amilea sighed as she hung up the phone and put it in her pocket.
She was heading to her room when she heard muffled voices of her aunt and Father. She creeped down the stairs to hear their conversation. “Look Al the one that attacked me was big and nearly dragged me out of my car, The one I shot was lean small and tall,” Alador hummed listening to his sister talk about her experience, “ Well the second one was with Lilith or Edalyn Clawthorne, I'm pretty sure it was Edalyn,” Hettie frowned at this raising her eyebrow in a questioning manner, “Are you sure?” Alador modded “Positive” Hettie sighed, "So it's three of them then?” Alador shrugged putting his hands in his pockets, “Don't know for sure but if they're alive then that means one of them can lead us to the alpha.”
Hettie smirked at this, “Take out the pack leader, take out the pack, this will be a fun hunt then.” Alador gave Hettie a look, his eyes narrowed glaring at her, “And we Do it by the code, understand?” Hettie waved him off dismissively, “You and this code,” Alador sighed, “We do it a certain way for a reason Hettie, We don't hunt just for the fun of it we do it to protect.” Hettie rolled her eyes, “Yea, Alley boy I know… I always play by the rules.” She gave a fake smile and walked away heading to the kitchen. Alador sighed and went to the garage.
Amelia who was sitting on the stairs heard the conversation, Was on thought about what her aunt and Father was talking about, “An Alpha? And who are the Clawthorne Sisters…. And what code were they talking about?” Amelia Got up from her spot sending a Message to her sibling group chat, telling her siblings about. What they heard, ‘Our Family is hiding something and. We are going to find out’
