One night while Circe was doing her homework, Stiles and Scott went to her apartment (Where the Hale family lives now with her) and checked on Circe because the Hale family was nowhere to be seen and she was at the apartment alone.
"So, what are you doing?" Stiles asked even though it was obvious she was doing her homework. He did that so they have something to talk about
"Doing homework" Circe said "I hate sixth grade it's now harder than before"
"Let me help you with that" Stiles showed how she can get the volume in math.
"Circe, do you have any idea where they are?" Scott asked while Stiles was teaching her
"Not sure. I just heard them trying to find my pack"
"Why are they looking for your pack?"
"I don't know exactly. But I think they are doing it for me. Because once a member, always a member and since I ran away, I think they are killing people so that they can be stronger and try to face any alpha or any werewolf who tries to stop them"
"There you got it?" Stiles asked after teaching her
"Yeah, now let's use my old style" Circe continued doing her homework
"I think I need to go and find them" Scott said
"You can't find them. I tried to track down their scent but I can find them. It's either they might be far away or I didn't tracked their scent right"
"I'll try to find them. Stiles stay here with Circe, protect her."
"What?" Stiles said
"Yeah, what?" Circe agreed with Stiles "I can take care of myself you know. I got claws, fangs, and the sense to know if they are near"
"Yeah whatever she says" Stiles agreed with Circe
"And he's a bit defenceless"
"Hey, and that's the line I don't agree with her" Stiles said. He whispered on Scott's ear "She might kill me"
Circe heard what Stiles have said in Scott's ear, "Uhm, hello? A werewolf here, I can hear you, you know. And I am under control since I was 8, thanks to Derek"
"Guys... Guys... Then, protect yourselves, I need to find them okay?" Scott said to both of them like he was babysitting them. "Circe, you can protect Stiles okay? And Stiles you can protect Circe by being the bait, you can lead those werewolves where they are far away from Circe"
"I don't like that bait idea. Don't you have any mountain ash instead?" Stiles asked
"Yeah I have one bottle in my jacket. Dr. Deaton gave me a bottle. But, hello? Did you forget that my old pack is special? I think they can break through the mountain ash" Circe answered
"Since when did you meet Dr. Deaton?" Scott asked but he remembered he must find the Hales before they are dead "Never mind. Tell the answer to Stiles, and Stiles tell whatever Circe told you okay? Got to go" Without anyone saying, Scott ran off as quickly as a wolf.
"So, since when did you meet Dr. Deaton?" Stiles asked the same question Scott asked before he left.
"Today, after school I went to him and he also told me I was special and gave me a bottle of mountain ash so I can protect myself" Circe was still trying to finish her homework
"Uh, how did you become friends with Derek?" Stiles tried to keep the conversation going.
"We were just kids, I was 8 years old when I met Derek. Hey, you remember what I told you that Derek was 2 years older than me. So yeah, I think he was 10 I think, I am not sure if that was his real age or what but I will go with that. I was just wondering off at the woods and I was trying to balance on a wood with water underneath it. It was like a bridge and I was almost at the end when the old wood snapped, I almost fell when he grabbed my arm. Then, we instantly became friends because he brought me into his house and we played there like every day. Every time when it was departure in our school I went there to play with him. But my parents moved to Washington D.C. so I told them I need to say goodbye to my friend. It was almost dark I went in to his house and there was no one there. And I saw his Uncle Peter, who was just sitting there-" Circe tried not to cry "So I went to him and asked where Derek was. Then I told him whatever I needed to say to Derek. Then he told me I mustn't leave Derek alone. So, he-he-he bit me... While I was bleeding, I thought about my parents on how I could explain it to them, and then I thought of Derek because I knew he was in pain too. He was having a hard werewolf time-" Circe tried to continue the story "Because he always tried to stay back from school like he doesn't want anyone to be his friend and he eats his food outside of school"
"Did he tell you he was a werewolf?" Stiles asked
"Yeah, before I was bitten, one night there were fireflies and the bright full moon we were trying to catch one of those bugs. We were running and we were having fun. Then we laid on the grass talking about ourselves. He told me that if he was a monster would I still be his friend and I said yes then he asked why. I told him because he was sweet, he saved my life and he was my only friend that always makes me smile." Circe paused for a while and then continued "I stood up from laying down and the moon was reflecting on his eyes and I could see that his eyes were a little bit yellowish, I asked what's wrong with his eyes because they are kind of yellowish and he told me he was different and I shouldn't tell anyone his weird eye color then he told me he was a werewolf. He's face was so sad like I was going to leave him but I did not leave him. We still played, see each other and we were happy."
Stiles was staring at her like something was wrong in her eyes like there was something not right. "Circe, what's happening to your eyes?" Stiles asked and he was still staring. Circe knew what he was talking about so she ran to the nearest mirror and saw her eyes. Her eyes were in werewolf form so it was a cold steel blue but it was slowly changing to a cold steel silver, her eyes were so beautiful when her eyes were in a cold steel silver but Circe didn't like her eyes to be like that so she closed her eyes and concentrated and it converted to her cold steel blue eyes again and it slowly transformed back to her brownish-black eyes again. Her eyes were now in human form.
"You did not just see that" Circe's voice was like in a panic. Like she didn't want anyone to see her eyes
"Wow! That was so beautiful, your eyes were silver and it kinda liked shined" Stiles said in an amusement tone
"It's actually a cold steel silver color. Please don't tell anyone especially Derek. I don't want anyone to know about this, if they knew they would be always protecting me and I don't want that. Please, Stiles don't tell anyone okay?"
"Okay sure just answer this question; How did you have those kind of eyes?"
"I don't know. I think it might be the bite. Because I was 8 when I got bitten and I was under control on a full moon like I didn't feel anything. Maybe the bite made me special"
"So when does it change to a cold steel silver?"
"When I am showing my true power"
"So, when you're telling a story like a while ago-"
Circe cut Stiles off "No, I don't know why my eyes change its color. Maybe because I didn't show my true power for a long time since I found Scott."
"So you were trying to hide it..." Stiles was letting out a grin but he tried not to because Circe might kill her or something
"It's not only I don't want them to see but it can make my scent stronger. My old pack knew I was special. So when I change my eye color to that color again, they might find me and kill me for running away."
"Tough life huh?"
"Yeah, since the day I was bitten and until now. Especially I saw Derek again, I'm guessing he has a lot of questions to ask"
"I don't get it. One night, he said that he can't believe that you were still alive"
"Because his Uncle told him I died in a car accident"
"When?"
"When I left with my parents, he doesn't want to know I left"
"So it's okay for Derek to hear your dead instead of you left?"
"Because if Derek knew I am alive, he will find me because I am his only friend"
"That's sounds kinda freaky and sweet"
"I know. That's why when he first saw me he was stunned and he was playing hard to get"
"So that's why you relate his emotions to the girl he loved and killed"
"Yeah, because it will release all his anger and he will become calm"
"How old are you?" Stiles has changed the topic but he also remembers the time when he asked Peter and Cora their age. He felt stupid to bring up that question again.
"If you're asking my appearance age it's 12. I stopped aging in the age of 12. But my exact age I don't know. Maybe if you ask Derek's real age and minus it by 2 you might get my real age. But the problem is that he might be older than me like a decade"
"Been there, done that with Cora and Peter. And believe me I don't want to ask anymore. Cora said she was 17 then she said how you would measure in years."
"I hate werewolf ages especially now, how would I be at high school, college or work if my face looks like a 12 year old. Nobody would believe me. I would stop studying when I am first year, high school."
"That's tuff. Maybe Lydia can just home school you."
"You mean the banshee? Yeah, she will do a great job teaching me how to scream loud and try to contact all of my friends from screaming" Circe joked about it but Stiles took it way too seriously.
"That's such a mean thing to say. She's beautiful and she's perfect. How dare you would say that to her"
"It's just a joke Stiles. Thanks for the offer but I don't like home schooling I would rather make myself useful by being a werewolf and try to study hard."
There was a moment of silence. The bed of Circe was so messy because of the activity sheets and the books that she had done. Her homework was now done and the two laughed as they told funny stories.
