Hiding in Plain Sight: Chapter 18 Equilibrium

Pairing: Armin Arlert / Annie Leonhart, Aruani

Minor pairing: Armin Arlert / Historia Reiss, Aruhisu

I'm back! Today’s my birthday, so here’s a treat from me!

I’m really sorry for the long wait and the unplanned hiatus for this fic. But yes, I’m finally back like nothing happened! Well, actually, a lot happened, which caused this fic to go on hiatus for half a year. Wow, has it really been that long? Anyway, just a quick life update because I feel like I owe you all an explanation for my disappearance. For those who don’t follow me on Tumblr or X, here’s some context:

Back in June, after publishing the recent chapter of Love Letters, I started preparing to move back to my parents’ house. There was a lot of packing, shopping, and sending stuff back and forth, which drained both my time and energy. By July, I had officially moved back and adopted two lovely cats, which required some adjustment on my part. A month later, my father got sick and was rushed to the hospital. Unfortunately, he didn’t make it this time. We had a lot of documents to settle, sought legal help, made several trips to government offices, and followed certain traditions.

Losing my dad brought a whole different level of sadness I hadn’t experienced before, and it made it really hard for me to revisit this chapter as I proofread. I had written part of this chapter while in the hospital with him, and every time I came across that section, it reminded me of him. It was the toughest fight our family ever went through, but we find comfort in believing that wherever my dad is now, he’s in a better place.

As for my fics, I’m currently working on a new chapter of Love Letters. No promises yet, but I’ll continue working on both fics.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and thank you for taking the time to read my work.

Love lots, Raine.

Clothe yourselves with the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.  For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens. For this reason, take up the full armor of God so that you may be able to stand your ground on the evil day, and having done everything, to stand.

Hiding in Plain Sight-Part 3

The small town of Lebanon, Kansas has a secret.  A pack of werewolves lives among the humans, and pack Alpha Dean Winchester and his brother Sam kept things under control so the humans were none the wiser.  One night on a full moon, Y/N’s car breaks down and she is attacked and bitten by a mysterious wolf. Waking up in a house full of strangers, she is told that she is turning into a werewolf, and she must leave her old life behind.  Will she threaten all that Sam and Dean have worked so hard to protect?

Alpha! Werewolf Sam Winchester, Alpha! Werewolf Dean Winchester, Jody Mills, Beta! Dr. Castiel Novak, Omega! Anna Milton-Winchester, reader

** This satisfies the “Scenting space” for my A/B/O bingo card

Even though he was almost a foot taller than you, you didn’t let that intimidate you. You got right in his face until your bodies were practically touching. “Get. Out. Of. My. Way,” you bit off each word, feeling your anger rise with every second that passed.

Sam was completely calm, but he never took his eyes from yours. You were dangerous and unpredictable now, and he knew it.  You didn’t believe him that you weren’t in control, so he needed to show you.

“Calm down, Now that you are feeling better, the sheriff needs to talk to you about what happened. She’s trying to find the guy who attacked you. She’s been waiting to interview you for a few days. Do you feel up to talking to her?”

The thought of the bastard who attacked you getting caught completely distracted you, just as Sam hoped it would.  “Yeah, have her come over. I want to cooperate as much as I can, so they can catch him before he attacks someone else.”

Pulling out his cell, Sam dialed a number from memory. “Hey Jody, it’s Sam. Y/N is awake and ready to talk if you have time. Okay, see you in a bit.” Slipping the phone in his pocket, he turned and looked at you. “She’ll be over in a bit. Are you hungry?”

You suddenly realized you were ravenous. “Yes, that would be wonderful! Just a snack or something .”

“I know what you need. I’ll be back in a few minutes,” Sam said before stepping out of the room.

When he returned, instead of the sandwich or fruit you were expecting, he had a platter heaped with what looked like raw meat.

“What is that?” you asked, eyeing the meat warily, despite the fact that your mouth was already watering from the scent of the blood.

“I’ll just set this here,” he said, placing the platter on the table on the other end of the room. “You’re going to need to eat differently now than you used to, and…..”  Before he could finish his sentence, you were across the room, grabbing a raw steak from the platter, and tearing into it with huge bites.

Within ten minutes, you had consumed everything on the tray, and your hands and mouth were smeared with blood, but the raging hunger you had felt minutes ago was sated, for now.

“What was that last thing I ate?” you whispered. Before he could answer, you held up a hand. “Actually, don’t tell me. I just ate an entire plate of raw meat. It was probably something really gross,"

Sam watched as you started to gag, and you covered your blood-smeared mouth with your hand, "I'm going to puke!" Running across the room to the trash can, you dropped to your knees in front of it and dry-heaved a few times.

Sam came up behind you and rubbed your back gently. “You just ate too fast, that’s all. Take some deep breaths. Do you want some more water?”

You nodded without speaking, and he handed you another bottle of water, which you held very gingerly this time.  After a few sips, you felt better. He handed you a washcloth to clean your hands and face, and your head snapped toward the window as your enhanced ears picked up the sound of a car.  “She’s here,” you told Sam.

“Finish cleaning yourself up. I’ll go to meet her. I need to talk to her first, then I’ll bring her here.” Sam told you, in an authoritative tone of voice that you didn’t argue with. He stepped out of the room closing the door behind him, and you heard the lock snap into place. You frowned. Had he been locking you in this whole time?

----------------------------------------------

Jody stood on the porch waiting, and Sam quickly invited her in. “How is she?” Jody asked worriedly.

“She’s finished the transition earlier today,” he told her.

She gave him a confused look. “So why am I here exactly?”

“I told her you needed to talk to her about the attack.”

Jody gaped at him. “Why the hell would you do that?  I’m not going anywhere near a newly turned werewolf! She’ll tear my throat out!”

Sam held up a hand. “She wants to leave. She thinks she’s in control. I told her she can’t leave. I think she needs to be shown that she’s not in control. That’s what it’s gonna take.”  he gave Jody a very meaningful look.

The sheriff stamped her foot in frustration. “I know what’s at stake here, Sam!” She eyed him nervously. “You’ll keep me safe?”

“She won’t get anywhere near you, promise,” Sam assured her. “Just stay behind me, and everything will be fine.”

___________________________________

Sam opened the door a crack and stuck his head in, “Y/N, Jody is here. Is it okay if I bring her in?”

“Yes.” came the soft reply.

Sam entered the room, moving very slowly. Jody entered behind him, every muscle tight with worry. “Hey, Y/N. I’m glad your feeling better. I’d like to ask you some……”

Then it happened. You lifted your chin as you sniffed the air delicately once and then again. Your enhanced hearing picks the steady thump-thump of a human heart. Your mouth began to water, and in the next instant, the color of your eyes shifted to deep gold, and you snarled at Sam and tried to claw him in an effort to Jody.

“Leave now, Jody,” Sam bellowed, and the sheriff was out the door, her tires spinning gravel down the driveway two minutes later. Sam didn’t even notice. His wolf was responding to the threat and he put up his hands to defend himself.  He was much larger and stronger than you, and he had you pinned against the wall in a minute.

“Stop!” Sam said in his powerful Alpha voice. “Y/N, submit!

You found yourself responding and whimpering, as you bowed your head in defeat. Sam grabbed you by the hair and pulled your head to the side, exposing the column of your neck. He smelled you as if trying to determine if you were friend or foe. Finally, he let you go.

When you looked up again, your eyes were back to normal, but your breathing was heavy and your hands very shaky as your more or less fell on the bed.

“Still think you’re in control?” Sam asked softly, his eyes locked with yours.

“Fine, you win.I’ll stay, for now,” you said flatly, trying your head toward the wall so he didn’t see your tears,

_____ is Hiding in Plain Sight Mural Locations

I've been pushing myself to take my art into the physical world in a bigger way and my latest project called “______ is Hiding in Plain Sight” is doing exactly that. I am asking anyone who finds any of our murals hidden all over Los Angeles to post photos to Instagram with the #PlainSight to tell me what they think is “hiding in plain sight.”

There was no way I could have taken on a project of this size and scope without my amazing community of local artists to help me make this idea a reality. We get to live our dream—to help each other’s artistic visions become a reality, and I’m so proud and thankful to have them in my corner, and to be in theirs. Special thanks to my PelaPapas production crew, Irvin Guzman (@xtofux), Roman Prado (@Romedawg7), Lazaro “Lazilla” Sanchez (@anta52), Andrew Barsoum (@abars), and Bobby Roes (@pizzaboyzzz).

Wanna check out this installation for yourself? Today we are announcing four locations of the _____ is Hiding in Plain Sight project:

4060 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90037

2121 Lincoln Blvd. Venice, CA 90291
