Evelyn:
The yellow florescent lights started to flicker above the aisle I was in. Making it seem more eerie with the lack of people around. I glanced up to take a look at them before turning my attention back to the baking goods infront of me.
Ambrosia was who knows where in the store, even though I reminded her plenty of times that we couldn't be here long.
In reality the only reason why we were able to leave the house tonight was because our mom hadn't come home from work yet. And Sebastian had left with my dad to go visit the emissary friend of his who lives here.
"Excuse me do you mind helping me find a few things?" The man had dark tinted glasses and a walking cane which lead me to realize that he was blind. I nodded my head but then cringed realizing that he couldn't see that.
Way to be an air-head. "Sure. I'm Evelyn." I introduced myself with a smile and took the list from his hand. He returned the smile and waited for me to look for the few things left.
Weird and lucky I guess that the last things on his list were all in this isle. "Such a lovely name by the way. Did you know that one of the meanings of the name Evelyn is life?" He asked. I don't know what it was but I couldn't help but feel abit unsettled by his words.
It's not that he said them in a creepy way, but, I don't know -- maybe it's just the fact that I can take someone's life away that made me feel uncomfortable. "I didn't know that. But I do however know that it means hazelnut too." I remarked.
My phone began to beep widely in my pocket, and me thinking that it was a message probably from my sister, pulled it out.
Instead I find a notification from the phobia of the day app.
What the hay? I only ever get these once a day and that's always at the same time each morning. Not knowing what else to do I open the app so it won't ring again.
My eyes caught sight of the phobia right before I closed it; Selenophobia: fear of the moon.
Must just be a glitch or something. I shrugged it off and returned with the last item on the man's list. "That is everything Mr..."
"Deucalion. No need for formalities after your help." He waved off.
I wanted to ask about his unusual name since I had never heard it before and it seemed like it would mean something alot cooler then hazelnut. But not wanting to be rude I refrained from doing so.
"Well if I see you around again then I'm more then happy to help." I offered, knowing that this town was small enough where I would probably run into him again.
He nodded his head before walking away. The sound of a pair of heeled shoes came barreling from behind me soon after.
"There you are! Hurry up lets go pay and leave before your bad luck rubs off and mom gets home." Ambrosia rambled away as she pulled me towards the cash registers.
"And then I was saying--are you even listening?" My sister asked with an irritated tone as she noted that I was too busy putting the bags away in the trunk of her car.
I smiled sheepishly before someone familiar looking caught my eye a few feet behind her. "Ambrosia, that's the man that mom was angry about when she found out that his family lives here." I said in a hush whisper so only she could hear.
"Just don't look back and we can leave without him even so much as knowing we where here."
Despite telling her not to look she spun around to stare. But instead of glaring at the him like I thought she would, she ended up ogling the man. "Wow. Mom forgot to mention that he's hot for an older dude."
I made a noise of distaste and shut the trunk close. Then it hit me. "Wait a minute. So that means you know why we're not suppose to be around the Argents?"
The look on her face gave away the answer, but she merely rushed off to the driver's seat. Guess everyone but me knows.
I still can't think of a reason as to why I was told not only to stay away from the Argents, but also Scott. The horn of the car broke me out of my thoughts, causing me to jump from the noise before rushing to the passenger seat.
"Ambrosia. What are we doing here?" I questioned as I glanced around the parking lot. It's seemed as if I looked down at my phone for a quick minute and next thing I know we're at the community pools.
Only it wasn't as lonely as it should be at this time of night. It was filled with ambulances and police cars. Something inside me stirred and I couldn't help but look over at my sister in confusion as to why she drove here.
She seemed to snap out of a daze of some sorts and began to look around in confusion too. "Sorry, Ev. I-I don't know what happened. It's just like I couldn't control it." Ambrosia apologized with wide eyes.
My eyes grew wide too when I followed her stare and saw a body get rolled out in a black bag.
I shrunk back in my seat, not use to things like this happening so close to me. Yes my sister and mom sense these type of things, but I was never allowed to be around when it happened.
They were always afraid that it might trigger something in me. Something that doesn't involve having to touch someone with my bare hand to cause them fear.
Ambrosia backed out of the car, her normal curiousness not enough to make her stay like I was afraid it would have. We didn't speak a word the whole drive back home, neither of us knowing what to say.
‼‼‼‼
I walked towards the front desk with a bag of food in tow. Once I spotted my mother's tied up blonde hair, a sliver of hope settled in me that she wouldn't be mad I was out on a full moon.
"Hey, mom." I greeted, not being able to hide the nervousness in my voice.
She turned around and let out an audible sigh of displeasure. My mom lead me towards the side where no one was passing by. "Evelyn it's a full moon. What are you doing out?"
"I know but Sebastian is still out with dad and--" I glanced around to make sure no one was near. "Ambrosia had an incident, and ended up driving to the pools where a body was found." I explained in a hushed whisper.
My mom placed a hand to her forehead and started massaging it. I could tell that staying here was beginning to take it's toll on her.
Not just because of how stressed she looked right now. But because I accidentally overheard her tell my sister that there was alot of death that surrounded Beacon Hills.
I know I shouldn't have listened to their private conversation, but my curiosity just won over that one time. Yes I feel bad and I'm thinking I should just come clean about it to them.
"Just get home, and be careful. I don't want you having an incident." She let out a tired sigh and took the bag of food out of my outstretched hand.
"Mom, I haven't had one in years and I'm always careful around others." I assured, trying my best to get her to trust my control for just once.
She only placed a kiss on my forehead before turning me towards the door. "I'll see you at home, sweetheart."
I walked towards the front entrance, intently trying not to let my sadness over how the conversation ended show. I hardly ever felt sad or hated what I was born capable of doing, I just learned to live with it.
But sometimes there were those days when I couldn't help but wish that I was as normal as I looked on the outside. That way I wouldn't have to not only worry about hurting others, but also about keeping this secret.
Little did I know that a familiar and extremely nosy classmate had listened in on the conversation.

A/N:
Oh sweet cheesus, I got so freakin scared because something happened to wattpad and I thought it erased this entire chapter. But luckily it didn't and wattpad only wanted to give me a minor heart attack to really wake me up.
Well dun dun dunnn Evelyn finally met the alpha of the alphas himself. And her conversation with him will later come back and bite her in the ass like there's no tomorrow. Because we all know that Deucalion doesn't do things without there being a purpose behind them.
Let me know what you guys think and all that jazz.
Until next time...
