AN: I own NOTHING, except Poppy and any other OCs you might notice within this story. (Although I would not mind owning ANY of the boys from this show ;) )
This begins in Venomous and will pretty much follow along with the story line except for a few modifications on my part for my character :D
Poppy Fairchild; the pretty red head moved to Beacon Hills after a house fire took everything from her and the last thing that she expected to find was werewolves and hunters plus more tearing up the town in a war that's waged since the beginning of time. She finds herself in a whirlwind of violence, love, hate, and even innocence hiding somewhere in there. Stiles/OC.
A Wise Man Once Said "Appearances Can Be Deceiving"
Chapter One
VENOMOUS
I breathed in through my nose and out through my mouth in a sigh as I parked my vintage Volkswagen bug and looked up at the school in front of me. I unbuckled my seat belt, flipped down my visor and opened the mirror on the back. I ran a hand through my cherry Kool-Aid red hair and scanned over my eye makeup around my blue eyes for any smudges.
The figure of a boy stepping out of a Porsche and walking up to my car appeared in my mirror and I flipped it up with an eye roll. I heard a knock on my window and I looked up to see a very attractive but obviously very spoiled boy with gelled sandy hair and blue-green eyes standing with a pissed off look on his face. I rolled down my window, widened my eyes and placed a sweet smile on my face in an attempt to look innocent, "Welcome to McDonalds how may I help you?" I mocked raising an eyebrow at him.
He looked taken aback for a minute before the pissed off look returned and he glared at me, "Well for starters you can get the hell out of my spot." He spat.
I laughed, "No offense, Mr. High and Mighty, but this spot doesn't belong to you." I said turning my back to him for a moment to grab my messenger bag from the passenger seat.
"I've been parking here since I got my license." He retorted.
I rolled my blue eyes and grabbed my gray beanie which I placed on my red hair before opening my door, causing him to step back so that he didn't get hit by the door as I stepped out of my car. I saw him scan over my leather jacket, red tank top, beige scarf, skinny jeans, and combat boots before his gaze returned to my face. "And now I'm here and I'm hoping whatever part of a gentleman that's hiding underneath all that hair gel is big enough for you to get over it." I said gazing up at him from underneath dark lashes, "But if it's that much of a problem I'm sure you can complain to the principal."
I felt his gaze on me as I turned on my heel and made my way up to the school. Great going Pops, way to make friends at the new school, I thought sarcastically as I walked in the front doors. Immediately people turned to stare at me, making me stop in my tracks. Are my pants on inside out or something? I wondered as I slowly stepped forward into the hallway to the right of the entrance. Once I began moving though people began whispering to each other as they made their way to their classes. I looked across the hallway as I made a beeline for the office and saw a tall and very muscular dark skinned boy staring at me with piercing eyes. I gave him a small smile that he returned with a glare and hurried into the office.
Seriously do people only know how to stare around here? I thought as I opened my locker. The secretary had been nice enough to highlight the different routes to each class on one map and then give me another map that had the same routes with the quickest ways to get to my locker. I had missed first period Economics due to the fact that she was taking such detail in explaining everything to me. I took my beanie off and placed it in my locker.
I took a mirror out of my bag and put that on the door before pulling out pictures of me with my friends Clio, Sara, Tommy, Mia, and Kyle. I felt two pairs of eyes burning into my head and turned to see two boys one slightly more muscular and tan with warm chocolate eyes and the other with a buzz cut and brown eyes that bore into me suspiciously. I gave them both a small smile before turning back to my locker and taking out the magnets from my bag and attaching the pictures to various spots in my locker before closing the door. I turned away from my locker only to run smack into the guy from the parking lot. "Holy fuckā¦" I trailed off as I caught myself, "What do you follow around and harass teenage girls in your free time or what, Mr. High and Mighty?" I asked raising an eyebrow at him.
"Who are you?" He demanded.
My other eyebrow went up to match the raised one, "Excuse me?" I asked in confusion.
"Who are you?" He all but growled as he took a step closer to me.
I took a step back, my back hitting my locker, "Listen, I don't care about the parking spot or whatever else you're pissed off about, but obviously you've got some serious issues to work out so I'm gonna leave and let you take care of those by yourself." I said pushing past him.
I looked over to see the cute boy with the buzz cut laughing while the other one tried to get him to shut up. My mouth rose in a smirk which was quickly dropped as my arm was caught in a bruising grip. My head snapped around whipping my red hair across my shoulders, "What the hell is your problem?" I hissed as I struggled in his grip.
"Jackson." A voice said.
I looked over to see the boy with warm brown eyes that had hardened as he gazed at 'Jackson' whose grip on my wrist tightened causing me to hiss in pain. "Let go!" I snapped raising my other hand and using it to push him away from me.
Jackson stumbled back into the lockers and as he was caught off guard, let go of me. "Fucking psycho." I muttered as I turned on my heel and walked quickly to my first class.
I walked in and the teacher immediately noticed me, "You must be Poppy." She said with a smile, "You can sit next to Danny in the free seat."
She pointed to the desk next to a boy with black hair and I walked over and sat down, what the hell is up with all the boys in this town being so damn attractive? I thought as I pulled out my notebook and pencil. I looked over at Danny who was looking at me curiously, "I'm Poppy." I said quietly as I smiled sweetly at him before taking down the notes on the board.
"I'm Danny." He said, "You're new right?"
I nodded, "Yup, just moved in yesterday. Packing tape is still fresh and everything, I'm that new." I replied rolling my eyes playfully and tucking a piece of red hair behind my ear.
Danny laughed, "Well you'll like it here, I promise. Sometimes Beacon Hills can be a little odd, but it's pretty normal most of the time. Plus, we have the winning lacrosse team." He informed me.
I laughed, "What do you mean by weird?" I asked my instincts gripping onto that piece of information.
Danny shrugged, "There's just been a lot of animal attacks in the last year is all." He said before turning back to the front of the room.
I followed suit, chewing on my bottom lip. Well, looks like Dad's gonna have a field day with this town. The bell rang and I grabbed my stuff before hurrying out of class.
I walked into my chemistry class late. There was a teacher in the back with brown gelled hair and glasses, presumably Mr. Harris. I could immediately tell we would not be getting along. Mr. Harris then began blathering on, "Einstein once said two things are infinite," He said walking up an aisle, "The universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe-"
I watched as Mr. Harris patted the buzz cut boy from the hallway's shoulder, "-but I myself have encountered infinite stupidity. So to combat the plague of ignorance in my class you're going to combine efforts through a round of group experiments. Let's see if two heads are indeed better than one, or in Mr. Stilinski's case less than one." He said.
A pretty girl with long curly brown hair cleared her throat to direct his attention to the front where I was standing, "Ah the new girl." He said.
I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, "Poppy, correct?" He asked.
I nodded silently, "Are you mute as well?" Harris snapped.
My eyes narrowed, "Aren't teachers supposed to be nice to new students?" I snapped before I could stop myself.
Mr. Harris grinned at me and grabbed the same boy's chair dragging him to an empty desk and out of the middle of the hallway, "Please take the now empty seat next to Mr. Stilinski and try not to cause too much of a problem." He said.
I walked over and sat down silently next to him at the lab table. I felt eyes on me and looked up to see at least five people staring at me including my new lab partner. "I'm Poppy." I said smiling sweetly at him.
"Stiles." He said smiling goofily back.
I grinned, his goofy smile was surprisingly charming. "If everyone is done staring at the pretty new girl I would like to begin class now." Mr. Harris said rudely.
I looked around to see the other boy from the hallway along with a girl with curly dark hair, a boy with a dangerous smirk, and a girl who was dressed rather provocatively all staring at me. "Erica." Mr. Harris said, "Take the first station."
There was a rustling and I looked around to see every male's hand except for Stiles, the boy from the hallway, and the boy sitting next to Erica's hands in the air making me roll my eyes, "I didn't ask for volunteers put your hormonal little hands down." He ordered.
The hands fell and he looked around the room until he landed on the boy from the hallway who was sitting with a pretty red head, "Start with Mr. McCall." I heard a few groans and stifled a laugh.
As Stiles and I worked I looked up and saw Erica's hand creeping up McCall's leg, "Um," I said catching Stiles' attention, "What's that about?"
Stiles followed my gaze and his eyes widened, "Um, E-Erica's just being desperate and flirting with Scott again." He answered and I could detect the lie there but brushed it off.
I nodded and Mr. Harris announced it was time to switch and Stiles and I got up and moved to the next station. I sat down next to my partner which was a mousey type girl who obviously knew what she was doing. We made small talk about the project and worked efficiently before Mr. Harris announced it was time to switch. I moved again and looked up when the boy that was sitting next to Erica sat next to me, "I'm Isaac." He said smiling charmingly at me.
I smiled back, "I'm Poppy." I said relieved that he seemed to be kind, "Do you know what you're doing here?" I asked as I added an ingredient.
Isaac laughed lightly, "Not really, you?" He asked.
I shrugged, "I took this class last year." I replied.
"So you're a smarty pants." Isaac joked.
I laughed lightly, "More like pushy parents." I said wincing internally at my own lie.
Isaac's head turned towards me sharply, as if he could sense my lie, but he chose to not speak up. "Hey everyone's got at least one of those." He said with a smirk.
Mr. Harris announced it was time to move again and I moved to sit at the next station just to have the seat next to me taken by Erica who smiled what she probably thought was sweetly at me. "I'm Erica." She said.
I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, "So I've heard." I said focusing on the experiment.
"And you're Poppy the pretty new girl." Erica said getting closer to me.
I sighed and didn't say anything. "The pretty red head," She continued wrapping a strand of my hair around her finger, "Who everybody is just so curious about. But let me just say something, you are nothing more than a dyed and fake little slut who is nothing special." Erica hissed in my ear.
I grabbed her finger in a death grip and she winced as I unwrapped my hair from around her finger, "My hair is not dyed or fake and I am not the little slut here." I spat glaring at her my regular blue eyes turning a shocking glowing blue, "I'm not here looking for a fight with a queen bee, I'm here looking to get an education and flirt with a few cute boys that's all so back the hell off." I snapped throwing her hand back to her.
I could see the shock on her face at the color of my eyes and my words, but simply turned back to our experiment. Mr. Harris taped a little bell on his desk causing me to face the front and away from Erica. "You should now be looking at a crystal." He said and I picked up the long tweezers from our table and picked ours up out of the jar. "Now for the part of that last experiment I'm sure you'll all enjoy, you can eat it."
I heard a few disgusted sounds and rolled my eyes before breaking our crystal in half and handing half to Erica who raised an eyebrow at me. I shrugged and plopped my half in my mouth still holding the other out to Erica who reluctantly took it and put it in her mouth hesitantly. "Lydia!" Scott yelled drawing everyone's attention.
My head snapped up, "What?" The red head snapped chewing on her crystal.
"Nothing." He replied slowly sitting down.
I gave him an odd look and shrugged, "Weirdo." I muttered under my breath as the bell rang.
I gathered my things and walked out. I heard hurried footsteps and looked behind me to see Scott, Stiles, and the girl with dark curly hair from chemistry ducking behind a door. I raised an eyebrow but kept walking to my locker. I opened it and stared longingly at a picture of my friends and I from a month ago at a bonfire. My head was thrown back in laughter as I leant on Clio, the flames making my hair appear different shades of red, "I'm telling you they were blue." I heard Erica hiss down the hallway.
Isaac sighed, "Fine, but let me look into it alright? Maybe I can charm it out of her. Or at least charm her into some place alone where we can both interrogate her." He said.
I heard his footsteps coming down the hallway and closed my locker when he reached me. I crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow, "Alright what do you want to know?" I asked him playing dumb, "Where I'm from? Family? What?"
Isaac looked slightly taken aback and I sighed, "Listen dude, I've been here one day and I've already said those things to at least 20 people so just ask alright? But make it quick I've gotta go."
When he didn't respond I turned away from him and made to move down the hallway. I noticed Scott, Stiles and the curly haired girl come out of the room they had just been in and all separate, taking off in different directions. I furrowed my eyebrows and Isaac followed my gaze, "Don't worry about them, they do that a lot." He said causing me to turn my attention from them.
I rolled my eyes and proceeded down the hall, "So where did you move here from?" Isaac asked when he caught up to me.
"Montana actually, up in the Rocky Mountains." I answered.
Isaac nodded thoughtfully, "Big family or small?" He asked.
I stiffened slightly but shook it off, "Depends how you look at it." I said, "Biologically it was just me and my dad, but we had almost a pack of people living with us."
Isaac stiffened at my words, "So why'd you move?" He asked, "Sounds pretty great."
I tucked a piece of hair behind my ear, "There was a fire; it destroyed our house and the surrounding forest. I barely made it out and my dad was at work, everyone inside died and everyone not inside scattered." I replied.
Isaac nodded, "Why Beacon Hills though?" He asked as we stopped outside the counselor's office.
I shrugged and gave him a secretive smile as I spotted Erica over his shoulder, "My dad likes to hunt and a friend of his Chris Argent told him that this place was great for it." I said, "Bye Isaac."
I turned on my heel and walked into the office. I walked down a hallway and stopped at the door at the end. The door opened to reveal the girl with curly hair. "Poppy." The counselor's voice came from inside, "This is Allison Argent."
My eyebrow quirked at the name, "Like Chris Argent?" I asked.
Allison's eyebrows went up, "He's my dad." She said hesitantly.
I smiled at her, "He's the one that suggested to my dad to move here, said that the hunting around here was great." I said.
A fearful look came over her face and my eyebrows crinkled, "Your dad hunts?" She asked quietly.
I nodded confused, "Are you okay?" I asked reaching out for her shoulder.
Allison flinched away and I drew my hand back. She smiled brightly at me, "Yeah, I'm fine." She said, "It was nice meeting you."
"Yeah you too." I said with a concerned look on my face.
Allison nodded and walked past me. "Come on in Poppy." The counselor said.
I walked in and closed the door behind me.
I walked into the library to see Erica and Isaac storming towards the door. Erica shoved my shoulder with her's while Isaac winked at me. "What the hell was that?" I asked turning to Danny and the boy next to him.
"They wanted to know where Lydia was and practically went psycho on me to find out." The boy answered.
I rolled my eyes and sat down next to them, "God this school is so weird." I said pushing back my red hair off my face.
"So you're the new red head then?" The boy asked.
I nodded and smiled at him, "I'm Poppy." I said.
"I'm Matt." He said, "Do you know anything about cameras?"
I shrugged, "One of my brothers was into them awhile back and he taught me some stuff, why?" I asked.
Matt held up a tablet that had a picture of a lacrosse player but it looked like it was whited out or something in the middle. I furrowed my eyebrows, "What is this?" I asked.
"It's a picture from the last lacrosse game and the only pictures I have that are messed up like this are on this one player, Scott McCall." Matt said.
I raised an eyebrow, "Well maybe he had contacts in, or he could have had something on his helmet that was affecting the flash." I said flipping through the pictures, "It just looks like something caught the flash is all."
Matt sighed, "Yeah that's what I thought." He said.
I glanced up at the time and sighed, "I gotta go, sorry I wasn't much help." I said grabbing my messenger bag from the table.
"It's alright." He said smiling at me.
I walked away and waved over my shoulder as I left.
I got out of my car in my driveway and tugged at the edge of my beanie nervously as I looked up at the huge two story house in front of me. I walked up the steps to my house. I got inside and closed the door behind me before jogging up the stairs on our big winding stair case and up to my room. I closed my door behind me and slid out of my boots which I placed by my bed before setting my messenger back on my bed along with my leather jacket.
I walked over to my closet and pulled out a pair of sleep shorts, a black tank, and an off the shoulder teal sweat shirt. I tugged off my beanie and tossed it onto my desk before changing. I sat on my bed and tucked my hair behind my ears before pulling out my Algebra 2 book and my notebook before beginning my homework. My dad opened my door and I glanced up at him. He had brown hair and cold steely gray eyes that glared at me, "Yeah?" I asked tapping my pencil on my book.
"You didn't make dinner." He said crossing his arms.
I looked over at the clock which said 4:30 before looking back at him, "I was gonna start at 5." I said furrowing my eyes together.
"Well never mind that, I'm heading out with Chris tonight so you'll be fending for yourself." He said turning on his heel.
"Like always." I muttered under my breath.
"What was that?" My dad, Carson, snapped.
I froze, "N-nothing." I stuttered.
His hand closed around my arm and pulled me up on my feet and I looked straight ahead at his chest. I felt myself leave the ground as he threw me to the side, making me hit the back of my head on the wall and crumple down in pain. Rule number one, do not make noises, rule number two, stay limp. "You will show respect to me, Poppy, even if I have to force it out of you." He hissed gripping my hair.
He threw me back into the wall again and walked out of the room. I stayed down for a moment longer before getting up slowly and walking back over to my bed. My computer beeped and I closed my door before plugging my ear buds in and opening the email that had popped up. A video began playing showing the scarred face of my friend Tommy, "Hey Popps, so I did that research on those names you texted me today, and you won't believe what I found." He started.
AN: Heyy guys! :D I know that I'm supposed to stop posting new stories and start posting Secrets of the Girl again but I've been writing this and I'm so anxious for the next episode of Teen Wolf that I just had to write this!
I really like this idea and hope that you did too! Don't forget to review, PM or whatever and let me know what your thoughts are! I should have to new chapter up after the next episode premieres!
IF you want to know what happened in the video review and stay tuned!
-ConflictingLoyalties563 ;D
Alright guys, so this chapter has officially been edited! I'll be putting them up one by one until I've got all of them done! Put a review up of what you think so far!
Remember this is just a Stiles/OC now and I'm wanting it to be slightly more gradual than the last one, more realistic!
Also some parts will change so that it makes more sense with the new story line I'm going for. This can include other characters from Isaac to Deaton! I'm also wanting to put in more content that is about Poppy and not necessarily involving the Teen Wolf characters! Maybe more backstory about her life before this?
Remember to review your input! It's really important to me since I'm redoing the whole story!
