Chapter 2 - Chapter Two

The next morning. Peyton wakes up to their alarm going off and shuts

it off. Peyton has a quick shower and dries off. Later on, at the school.

Peyton sees Justin. They growl. Alex notices and steps in front of Peyton.

"Peyton don't. He's not worth getting in trouble for." "Fuck that shit." Peyton

walks past Alex and gets in Justin's face. "Hey you mind?" Peyton shrugs.

"Nope. Got a problem with me you come to me. Don't do it behind my back." Justin

pushes Peyton out of his face. Peyton growls and goes to get back in Justin's

face when Ryan comes over and pushes them. "Walk away Peyton. You're losing

it." Alex comes over. Ryan puts a hand on Alex's chest. "Stay back." Alex looks

confused. Justin laughs. "Look Eric. I told you." Eric looks over. Peyton's

eyes change color and they push Ryan out of the way. Peyton grabs Justin by his

collar and drags him off. "What are you doing?" Peyton throws Justin against

the wall hard. Justin gasps for air because of the impact. "Don't fucking

insult me! Ever." Peyton kicks Justin in the groin and stomach hard. Peyton

leaves after spitting on Justin. Ryan comes running. "What did you do?" "What

he deserved. Come on Alex." Peyton wraps their arm around Alex's shoulder and

the two walk to class. Alex and Peyton sit down and get to work. After they're

done and hand in their work Peyton and Alex look at each other. "What?" Alex

looks at Peyton's hand. "Did you kill him?" Peyton shakes their head. "I wanted

to though." Alex smiles. "My knight." Peyton chuckles. They then sigh. Alex

looks confused. "What's wrong?" "Not right now. Later." Alex nods. "Okay." The bell

rings. The students all leave except Alex and Peyton. "I know you're a hybrid

Peyton and no I'm not scared of you." Peyton nods. "I know. I just." Peyton

sighs and leans in close to Alex so they're almost touching. "I've been

watching you. Ever since you moved here the first time. Your brother never knew

until recently. That's why he doesn't like you around me. He thinks I'm

planning to drag you in and kill you or make you like me so you kill him." Alex

looks shocked. "Really?" Peyton nods. "I don't want that though. I care too

much about you to do that to you." The two walk to Alex's class. Before Alex

walked in Peyton moved a piece of hair out of Alex's face and says in her ear,

"Mi angel

hermoso." Alex looks confused. "What's that mean?" Peyton smiles. "I'll tell

you later." Peyton winks. Alex walks into class and Peyton runs to theirs. After

Peyton finished and handed in their work the teacher lets them leave early so

Peyton goes to Alex's class and watches over her. Alex looks up from her work

and sees Peyton standing outside the door. She smiles. Peyton smiles back. "Hey,

Alex, you have a boyfriend?" "No. Leave me alone. I'm working." Kyle puts his

hand on Alex's shoulder. "Maybe later I can take your mind off school." Alex

shrugs off Kyle's hand and finishes her work and hands it in. Peyton stands on

guard when Kyle comes over to Alex. He puts his hand on Alex's back. "Come on."

Alex takes Kyle's hand off her. "No thanks." Peyton senses Kyle's anger and

goes over to him. Alex turns. "Peyton back up." Kyle smiles. "Yeah Peyton. I'm

just trying to make friends with her." Kyle goes to grab Alex's ass, so Peyton

grabs that hand. Alex puts her hands on Peyton's chest. "Stop. Let go." Alex

feels Peyton growl. Peyton crushes Kyle's hand and then grabs Alex's. They

leave the classroom after Alex grabs her books. Alex puts her books in her

locker. Peyton bangs their head against their locker. "Alex I'm sorry. I know

you can take care of yourself but I just." Peyton sighs and leans in close to

Alex so their faces are almost touching. "I can't help it with you. I feel very

protective of you." Alex smiles and puts her hands on Peyton's chest. She then

moves them up and wraps them around Peyton's neck. Peyton smiles and runs a

finger over Alex's lips. Peyton puts their forehead against Alex's. "Mi angel

hermoso." "What's that mean?" Peyton smiles. "It's my beautiful angel in Spanish."

Alex smiles and places her head on Peyton's shoulder. Peyton kisses Alex's neck

and then pulls away from her when the bell rings. Peyton takes Alex's hand and

intertwines their fingers. Alex smiles. Peyton smiles back. "Come on. Lets go

get some lunch. I'm starving." Alex laughs and the two walk to the cafeteria. Peyton

buys lunch for both themselves and Alex. The two sit. "You know you don't have

to keep buying me food." Peyton shrugs. "I know. I just feel like it." Alex

rubs her nose with Peyton's. Eric looks over. Peyton finishes eating and puts

their arm over Alex's shoulder. Alex puts her hand on Peyton's hand hanging

over her shoulder and intertwines their fingers. Alex leans her head against

Peyton's chest. Peyton smiles at Eric. Alex looks up at Peyton. "Hey, I have a

question." Peyton looks down at Alex. "Shoot." Alex sits up. "Can I kiss you?" Peyton

smiles. "Wherever and whenever you want mi angel hermoso." Alex giggles and

then kisses Peyton softly. Peyton smiles when Alex pulls away. Eric comes over.

"What are you doing with my sister?" Peyton smiles. "Nothing. We just finished

eating." Eric pushes the trays off the table. "Don't bullshit me! I know what

you are and I know what you're planning." Peyton laughs. "Dude, I don't have

any 'plans'. Not ones you're thinking anyway. Now fuck off." Alex smiles and

leans against Peyton. Eric grabs Alex's arm. "Come on." Alex pulls away. "No." Eric

tries again. Peyton grabs his hand. "She said no Eric. Now back off." Eric

pulls away from Peyton and grabs Alex's arm and pulls her to him. They start

walking away. Alex pulls away. Peyton flips the table and grabs Eric by his

throat. "So, you're the type that doesn't take no for an answer, are you? Well

let me show you what I do to those kinds of people." Peyton puts more pressure

around Eric's neck. He chokes. Alex grabs onto Peyton's arm. "Peyton stop.

You're killing him." Peyton bares their teeth and roars in Eric's face. They

then throw him across the room. Alex looks at Peyton shocked. Peyton runs off.

Alex follows. "Peyton wait." Peyton runs to their car and drives home. Once

there Peyton starts throwing stuff around their room. Peyton roars loudly and then hits the ground. They start crying.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." Peyton's mother Sarah holds onto them. "It's okay.

It's gonna be okay." Peyton pushes away. "How? How is it? She'll never forgive

me. I didn't mean to lose it like that. He just makes me so angry." Peyton

fists their shirt. Sarah puts her hand on Peyton's face. "She will. I love

you." Peyton hugs their mother gently. "I love you too mama." Sarah pulls away.

"You stay here until you're calm. I'll clean up the mess." Peyton sniffles.

"I'm sorry." Peyton lays down in a ball. Sarah runs her fingers through Peyton's

short hair. "It's okay dear. I can replace them." Peyton falls asleep. Friday

afternoon. Peyton hears people talking upstairs and then footsteps coming down

the stairs. "Is it safe to come in?" Peyton looks up and nods. "Come on over."

Alex comes over and sits on the edge of the bed. Peyton sits up. "So, about the

other day. I'm sorry. I'm so sor." Alex puts up her hand. "I know. Let me say

what I came to say." Peyton nods. They sit and wait patiently. Alex takes a

deep breath and lets it out slowly. "You scared me. What you did scared me."

"I'm sor." "Let me finish." Peyton nods, tears rushing down their face. "You

scared me but not just with your actions. You scared me when you looked at me

with those long razor sharp teeth of yours." Peyton turns their head tears coming

down their face faster now. Alex moves closer and turns Peyton's face toward

her. She wipes the tears away. "That doesn't change how I feel though." Peyton

nods. "Okay. I'm really sorry." Alex chuckles. "I know." Alex comes closer and

lays her head on Peyton's chest. Peyton puts their hand down on Alex's leg.

Alex moves it to her ass cheek. Peyton smiles. Alex smiles back. "You don't

have to do that with me." Peyton nods. "Okay." Alex falls asleep. Peyton is

reading a book when Peyton's mother Sarah comes downstairs. She goes into the

laundry room and starts her laundry. Sarah peaks her head out. "You need

anything washed before I turn on the washer?" Peyton looks up from their book

and smiles and shakes their head. They whisper, "I'm good. Thanks mum." Sarah

gives a thumbs up and then turns on the washer. Sarah then goes upstairs. Alex

stirs. "Who were you talking to?" Peyton smiles down at Alex. "Just my mum. Go

back to sleep." Alex checks her phone. "It's almost 8. We better go." Alex gets

up quickly. Peyton doesn't budge. "I don't want to go now." Alex sits on the

edge of the bed and puts her hair behind her ears. "Come on please? My brother

won't be there. He's under house arrest." Peyton shakes their head. "Please,

please, please. It'll be my first time going to a party." Alex pulls on

Peyton's arm after getting up. "Come on." Peyton sighs and gets up. "Come on."

Alex claps her hands. "The two go upstairs. "Mum I'm going out. I'll be home

before 3." Sarah comes over and kisses Peyton's cheek. "Alright dear. Have fun

but not too much fun." Peyton and Alex leave. At the party. Alex holds onto

Peyton's hand as they push through the crowd. "I'm gonna get a drink. You want

one?" Alex shakes her head. "No thanks." Kara comes over. "Stay with her." Kara

nods. Kara grabs Alex's hand and holds it. Alex looks confused. Kara notices.

"Everyone here will try to get with you if you know what I mean. They're all a

bunch of horndogs but with me here no one will even look twice." "And why is

that?" Kara smiles at Alex. "I'm a very powerful witch and everyone here knows

it. I'm Kara by the way." "Alex." "I know. I used to be friends with your

brother." Alex raises an eyebrow. "What happened?" Kara chuckles. "You saw it

first hand. Eric and his friends are Peyton's rage switch. I got caught in the

middle once." Kara shows off the left side of her face. "From then on I

promised Peyton I'd stay away from him and his friends." Peyton comes back

over. Kara lets go of Alex's hand. "It was nice meeting you Alex." "You as well

Kara." Kara smiles and walks away. Peyton sits down on a recliner and Alex sits

on their lap. Peyton takes a sip of their beer. A guy comes over and sits next

to Peyton but on the couch. "Hey you mind if I borrow your friend for a

minute?" Peyton looks at the guy serious. "I do actually." The guy gets in

Peyton's personal space. Peyton looks at the guy. "I'd back away if I were

you." The guy laughs. "Why?" Peyton smiles at Alex. "You mind holding my beer?"

Alex takes the beer bottle. "Thanks dear." Alex gets up so Peyton could and

then sits back down. Peyton takes off their shirt and puts it on Alex's lap. "Because

I am the alpha of the most feared pack of werewolves in the world." The guy

laughs. "There's no such thing. It's a myth." Peyton raises an eyebrow. "Oh

really? You really think so?" The guy nods. Peyton turns to Alex. "Cover your

ears babe." Alex puts the beer bottle between her legs and covers her ears

tightly. Peyton howls. The guy shrugs. "I can do that too." Peyton shows off

their hands. "Nothing right?" The guy nods. "Right." Peyton lets their claws

extend. The guy looks and shrugs. A group of people come walking into the house

and walk to Peyton. "We heard your call. What's up?" The guy looks scared. "Get

this guy out of my sight. He's starting to piss me off. Don't kill him though."

The group nod and grab the guy and throw him out the house. Peyton takes a swig

of their beer. "Go find Kara." Alex gets up and ties Peyton's shirt around her

waist. "Where you off to?" Peyton chugs the rest of their beer. "It's best you

don't know." Alex nods and goes to find Kara. Peyton goes outside. They rub

their hands together. "I'm so hungry." Peyton bares their teeth and claws. So

do the others. Peyton hands one of their pack members a leg. As they're eating

away. "Holy fuck I haven't had this good of meat in a long time." "Yeah I know.

All we've eating are already dead corpses." Peyton finishes off their section

and goes for another. "Well maybe that'll change." The guys look over at

Peyton. Ryan Miller says, "What you mean?" The others nod. "I have just been

thinkin'. Maybe it's time to start killing off the killers and the rapists.

That's all I'm saying." They all howl and then laugh. Kara comes out with Alex

close behind. Kara hands Peyton a beer. "Thanks." "You better be cleaning this

up." Peyton nods. "Of course." Kara nods and walks back in the house. Alex

doesn't follow though. Instead she comes over and sits on Peyton's lap. Peyton

looks surprised. So do the others. Alex grabs a piece of meat and goes to eat

it. "You know it's not animal meat right?" Alex nods. "I know." She eats the

whole piece of meat. "Mmm. Mmm. Not bad. Tastes just like veal." Peyton smiles.

"My little cannibal." Alex kisses Peyton's cheek and continues to eat with the

group. Once all done Peyton gives all of the scraps to Kara's dog Lucky. Peyton

pets him. "That's a good boy." "Well we're gonna take off. Thanks for dinner Peyton."

Peyton salutes the group. "Anytime my brothers. Ciao." Alex takes a huge gulp

of Peyton's beer. Peyton chuckles. "Easy now." Peyton takes the bottle from

Alex. Alex whines. "But I'm thirsty." "Open." Alex opens her mouth and Peyton

lets some of their blood drip into Alex's mouth after biting their wrist. Alex

wipes her mouth after swallowing. "Wow. Thanks." Peyton smiles. "No problem.

You're sleeping over tonight by the way." Alex nods. "Okay." The two go back

inside and Alex gets drunk. Back at home. Alex gets into Peyton's bed as she's

giggling. Peyton shakes their head. "I'm never letting you drink again." Alex

whines. "But daddy…." Peyton chuckles and gets into bed with Alex. The two go

to sleep.
