...and finds herself falling for a boy she never thought she would

           i. Water retained fragments of life beyond our conception. Prior to God's desire for peers, water flowed through the hills and valleys, entering and exiting God's playthings. Water held the scattered pieces of what began life, seeping from their skin, dripping from their baring teeth, concocting with the red essence of life. It would remain even when life attempted to eradicate it. It first kissed Lilith before Adam—her first equal.

Neviah Degrace was born in the eye of the storm. Her cries broke the stillness and silence, signaling havoc to rain rampant. And it had. The second tropical storm to ever make landfall in California commenced in the long hours of her birth. Born with the hunger to eradicate life, as her mother before her. Blood coated her palate, her own blood. She nearly drowned in it. Since then, she had been searching high and low for the euphoric high, which she never recollected—only felt immense.

The feeling was almost replicated in the rush that coursed through her veins as she stood with quaking legs, veiled in the blood of her first victim. A helpless fawn. However, the feeling was found most similar in the unexplainable emotions she attempted to tame at the sight of Stile Stilinski. Budding young as all things had. Unknowingly to the carrion currently experiencing life—as all things had—Neviah sought to find the feeling elsewhere. Her hands and words destroyed what remained of anyone who stepped up to fill the gaping hole simply to near her. Never did they realize the chaos she spun until they barely escaped with their lungs burning. Destruction formed in the tips of her fingers and conducted to what she touched.

To watch as her fingertips grazed over Stiles' flesh, and he returned unscathed both satisfied and terrified her to the core.

          ii. Deprived of power and indulging in curiosity, Eve fell for Lucifer's tricks and love. Love turned out to be a dressing for hate, chaos, and strife; it wore multiple faces to deceive those who knew very little of its true being. Love turned out to be Adam's willingness to lose Eden for her.

The water she played in as a child held her. It encased her carcass in ways the living failed to. Her first interaction in death stood on the opposing side of the coin that held her final interaction in life. Hatred and love. From then on, she would flip the coin and decide how she would act on her second chance in life. Despite her prayers, begging, and whispers of hope, the coin landed with hatred beaming in her face. Once caring and loving hands wrapped around her throat, lifting her slightly as he shoved the truth down her throat, seconds before snapping it to ensure it would never resurface.

Love had never found Neviah in the gentle ways she was told it would. Always a rough hand and a venomous shout. She learned to be the first to rip the imaginary emotion from the root before it could bloom. She watched it rot and wondered what it could have been. Her father was a detective, not a gardener. She knew how to inspect the murder crime and fill the evidence with fables to paint the other as the perpetrator—she would always be the bystander who found herself in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Love came in the face of a persistent boy, unable to live without Neviah. A bystander to the chaos she brought to others—he knew when to face the other way and pretend to be unknowing. For her, he did it willingly, without request. He wasn't oblivious to what remained beneath her flesh; he loved her for its darkness. He harbored it within him, unknowingly or knowingly, it rested like a beast in hibernation.

Awakening the bloodthirst was the easiest part of her plan.

          iii. If God had loved Lilith or Eve the way he had Adam, life could have formed in equals. Instead, Adam was loved more, beginning the course of inequal love and the human inability to balance it. Bitterness rotted in Lilith as submission took over Eve. Never seen as equals to Adam, only less than the man who followed as they carved the path of the world. Still, they both loved Adam as he was the remaining piece of Eden they lost. The difference? One stayed with him despite his flaws, while the other enacted a never-ending revenge.

The burning of Eden—in other words, the Hale house—relit within Neviah Degrace. Flame engulfed the aged wood; smoke clouded the forest where the truth resided, and a piece of Eden was stored away. It sang out for years, muffled by the crackling of flames and wood, only when Neviah died, did she hear its calls. Incomprehensible words, but music, nonetheless, crafted to lure her in as the snake once had.

It wore the face of her past, a piece of Eden, a feeling she longed for. Her honey-soaked giggles, moon-kissed smile, and everlasting darkness. Her very own Lilith returned to forgive her for her failings. Much like Adam, she had been too in love with what was to resist the temptation of the chance of what could be.

An apple rested in her palm; purpose resided inside its red coat; atonement budded in the core. Sink your teeth into it and all will be resolved. Pluck the seeds and devour, find truth only after hunger has been resolved. Knowledge at your fingertips, power cultivating in your palms. Your fate falls in your very hand in the very moment—do you sink or swim? The chance of external salvation is lower than your chance of consumption. Greedy little thing, do you wish to love as deeply as you desire?

          iv. Lilith did not need God to punish Adam for loving her less. She needed Eve's desire for knowledge and her love for Adam. Eve would always lead Adam to death.

          v. Love kills. Love avenges. Love enacts revenge. Love destroys. Love restores.

          vi. God loved Adam more than Lilith; Adam loved God more than Lilith and Eve.

mentions of death, mental issues/illnesses (specifically psychosis), sexual interactions. descriptive writing of torture, fighting, blood, unhealthy coping mechanism (e.g. alcoholism, sex, etc.), ptsd, pyschosis, etc.

extra trigger warnings will be added for chapters that need them. feel free to ask for trigger warnings for specific triggers here.

━━reminder!

like most of my fics, the story will not revolve around the relationship and the other partner. this story is about neviah as well as her relationship with stiles. please keep that in mind. i plan on altering the plot in some seasons and re-writing season 6b for this story.

━━disclaimer!

i do not own teen wolf or any of its characters. all credit goes to jeff davis, mtv and everyone else who helped create the show. i only own neviah and any other original characters in this along with their storylines. i also own the storyline and characterization of harley, but all credit goes to jeff davis for the "base" of harley.

━━additional!

please do not steal/plagiarize from this story or any of my others. gaining inspiration is perfectly fine, as well as wanting to use a specific scene. if you do this, know you do not have to get credit.

━━a/n!

hello! im so excited for you guys to meet neviah, mal, and all my other original characters. i freakin' love teen wolf but i've always found it hard to create a plot that fits in this world as well as fits my way of writing. i have so much faith that this story will work, especially from all the support i've been getting from my tiktok edits of this book. so thank you <3

also harley thompson is my version of our girl who was wrongly done in the show. since we never got much of harley's personality from the show, i've created her anew. basically she's my oc but not really. i hope you guys love her and enjoy how she is!
