For the last week Serena's head had been completely screaming at her. She thought it could be the stress she had been under since arriving home, could that be it? The Quileute woman could feel something stirring in her bones -- in her 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐃 , but what was it? That question ran through her mind throughout the night as she attended a college party with Lily. The oldest Swan girl that she needed to let loose and for a while it worked. Serena was having fun among the woman's classmates but it all came to an end when she felt a sudden turn in her stomach and felt all the hairs stand up on the back of her neck -- and a chill, oh that chill sent a shiver up her spine. Completely scared by this feeling the woman stopped dancing in the sea of people and set out to find Lily. Of course she found the woman over by the drinks and clearly was completely intoxicated and eventually she gotten the woman back to her jeep. “Oh c -- come on Ser,” Lily hiccups, leaning onto Serena for support. “the ‘arty just getting started.” Rolling her eyes at the drunk Sheriff’s daughter, she buckles the woman inside the vehicle before driving away from the party. They had a small drive ahead of them since they were about fifteen miles outside of Forks, out towards Seattle.
Seeing the sign ‘WELCOME TO FORKS’ brought comfort to the driver, a sense of warmth as she knew they were almost to the Swan residence. Her chocolate eyes looked at the scenery around them and that is when she felt a nasty turn in her stomach and could feel the fever from a week prior come back to her as sweat began to bead down her forehead. "I -- I don't feel so good, L." Serena spoke loudly over the roaring of the wind around them as she drove down the highway. She knew she had to keep it together to drive them home, Lily was in no state to drive and was leaned somewhat back in her seat. "I -- " A foul stench filled the air as the Quileute breathed in and at that very moment she became tempted to throw up the liquid she consumed earlier. She didn't have time to fully register the smell when the shiver came back up her spine with the hair on her neck standing up with goosebumps appearing on her skin. Becoming unfocused on the road as pain erupted throughout her body it felt like something was tearing her apart. The scream she let out awoken Lily from her deep sleep and before the Swan could offer aid is when the jeep became off road. The next thing happened so quick -- a wolf appeared where Serena once sat and Lily? She was covered in her own blood and was as silent as a corpse.
The Quileute felt like she was reliving a dream she had since a child, one of her running through the woods of her home but this time? She wasn't on two feet, but all four paws. Everything around her felt different, appeared in a different light to her. Her thoughts were running a thousand miles a minute over at what was happening and worried about the girl she left lying in the jeep. Serena found herself on a cliff, the very same cliff she jumped off with Paul when first arriving back home. 'Paul...'. She wondered what he would think her of, what her family would think of her now that she was a beast -- the very beast of her family's legends. ‘I’m a monster.’ Serena sobbed in her head. Hearing a twig snap behind her, the wolf quickly turned to face where the sound came from and growled, the hair on her back standing straight up as she crouched to the ground. While the wolf appeared ready to attack in a split second, the mind within it was freaking out on exactly what to do.
