Derek stared at her for a while processing what she'd just spilled. Did she really mean that she could see the things that made him a werewolf? What was she? He really didn't need another Lydia in his life.
Vicky smiled to him for a second before she looked to the window, watching a pair of tail-lights glimmering in the window.
"Looks like my ride's here" she said, breaking the silence. "Can you close the door when you leave?" she asked as she walked towards the door. Derek watched as she turned halfway to the door smiling and then waving to him. Everything about this girl was sexy, even the way she waved, how was that even possible? He shook his head, thinking for a second that it would lead to his thoughts disappearing.
"Hey! Wait!" he called after her, running out in the hallway, reaching her in the steps. "Why do you see it? What are you?" he asked, but she didn't reply. He took a tight grip on her shoulders and slammed her into the wall, growling at her, his teeth and eyes showing. She smiled and leaned closer to his face. She was inches away from his face, her breath smelling like mint and Jack Daniels.
"Figure it out" she replied and pulled away from his grip, walking down the rest of the stairs and out of the building. For a second she'd felt her heart in her throat, it wasn't often something scared her, but those cold, blue eyes reminded her of how he would have gotten them. Killing an innocent.
She walked up the car where Lydia was sitting, her make up perfect as always, and her head moving to the music she was playing. Vicky opened the door, and got in the car before she slammed the door shut and looked at Lydia with a grin on her face.
"I'm ready!" Vicky called enthusiastically.
"Good, because I'm longing for a drop of alcohol right now" Lydia said, which, in Vicky's case meant that the whole drive was going to be all about some guy. Probably Aiden. Vicky hadn't seen him for a while now, he came to Beacon Hills visiting Lydia often, but lately he hadn't been around.
"What's going on Lydia?" Vicky asked in a questionable tone. All though she didn't want to seem bored by the fact that there was always some kind of boy problem with Lydia, she tried not to stick her nose in it.
"It's so weird Vick, everyone's back, everyone, and I can't help but feel overwhelmed by the fact that something's going to happen" Lydia replied, her voice almost cracking under what seemed like fear.
"What do you mean about everyone?" Vicky asked, now worried about Lydia's well being. She didn't seem good at all. She was shaking.
"Everyone is here, even Jackson, and it's scaring me" Lydia said, she was clearly stressing.
"It's okay, I mean, it's Jackson alright? He's one of the good guys now" Vicky replied, giving Lydia a full-hearted smile.
"You don't get it Vicky! First, there was Jackson, the Kanima, then there was Derek's whole pack, Isaac, Boyd, Erica, Aiden and Ethan and the whole alpha pack, Kira being a Kitsune, Stiles and the Nogitsune, Parrish being a hellhound, Theo and the chimera's, I don't know what's coming next Vicky, I don't know, and it's freaking me out, the whole banshee radio has been silent ever since the dread doctors disappeared!" Vicky looked at Lydia, and she felt worried. Lydia was right. What if this meant that there was something coming, that everyone was gathering for the big finale.
"I know, but all of that was before the dread doctors, everyone's good now, friends even, doesn't that count for something?" Vicky asked, trying to calm Lydia down. She could see the fear all over Lydia; it was like Vicky could even smell it. She didn't know them like Lydia did, but for a while now she'd stayed in the background. Lydia had told her everything, in explicit details and she felt like she knew them, but only by name and not their faces.
"You're probably right…" Lydia replied, her eyes filled with tears.
"Hey, Lydia… let's just go to the party, we'll get drunk and we'll flirt and dance and just have a really good time" Vicky said as she took Lydia's hand in hers. She wasn't really good at these heart-to-heart things, and especially not intimate contact like this. But she had to be normal, stay normal for everyone to see.
"Yeah, we'll just have fun tonight" Lydia said, her voice starting to go back to normal. She withdrew her hand from Vicky and wiped away the tears and took up a mirror from her purse and touched up her make up before she took a deep breath and backed away from Vicky's apartment building and started the drive to the party.
To Lydia's surprise it wasn't far from where Vicky lived, and she figured that she probably could have left her car at Vicky's. The GPS stopped them outside this large industrial building, about a five minute drive from Vicky. The music was loud and they could see different color lights inside the building, people were outside, someone was even throwing up at the corner.
"It's only eight" Lydia pointed out as she saw the girl on the corner.
"Someone just can't keep their liquor down" Vicky commented as they got out of the car. It was kind of strange. Vicky had never really met any of Lydia's friends, she was supposed to on Lydia's birthday last year, but Vicky never made it. So, now she was going into this large building, where probably most of Lydia's friends were. And by the topics of Lydia's stories, they were nothing but normal.
Kira and Scott moved from the entry to the bar where they snatched a bottle of something, they didn't really see what it was before they took it. Something that Isaac was clearly upset about. He looked at the bottle and sighed, looking at his two friends with an annoyed look.
"This is pure vodka, you seriously think we're just going to drink this right from the bottle?" Isaac asked Scott, but Scott gave him this sorry look and shook his head.
"Vodka, I'll take that" Malia said and snatched the bottle from Isaac. She opened it up and smelled it, grimacing when she realized what it actually smelled like. "Gross" she admitted and passed the bottle to Liam, whom, gladly took it.
"No, no, no" Stiles said and took the bottle from Liam, shaking his head. "He's like twelve" Stiles added when all of his friends looked at him weirdly. An answer they all accepted except from Liam.
"I'm seventeen" Liam pointed out annoyed at Stiles.
Completely ignoring Liam, Stiles asked if anyone seen Lydia, but no one answered. He looked out into the crowd of people dancing and talking, but he couldn't really see the redhead anywhere. She always made an entrance that was for sure.
"She said to meet her here at eight; it's 8.10" Kira pointed out. The doors opened, and in came Lydia with Vicky right next to her. Vicky was still carrying her bottle of Jack Daniels, the bottle nearly empty.
"Hey, that's her" Scott said and pointed at Vicky while bumping into Stiles shoulder. Stiles looked at her for a second, her hair was long reaching her to her hips. It was this light brown with some waves in it. Her skin was tanned, and it looked like she'd been living on the beach for a couple of months. But that wasn't what Stiles really paid attention to. The thing that made him keep on staring at her was her big blue eyes. And when they looked his way, he noticed her smile. He and Malia had been over for a little while now, but it was still awkward with them, so he tried to keep his staring to a minimal, even though it was absolutely impossible.
"Missed me?" Lydia said as the girls joined the group. She looked at all of them, even Aiden and Ethan was there with Danny standing partly outside the group. No one replied, they all just smiled, looking at Vicky whom was standing behind Lydia, clearly a little uncomfortable.
"You all know Vicky" Lydia said and gestured towards her friend in the back. Vicky was standing there, looking out on the crowd.
"No, not really" Stiles replied, but before he got the chance to introduce himself, Vicky was already on her way through the crowd.
"Oh, I thought I'd introduced her to you guys before" Lydia replied with a thoughtful look on her face. "I thought Derek was coming too" she added, searching the familiar faces for him, but she couldn't see him anywhere.
"Yeah, he's coming, with a date" Isaac said and chuckled.
"A date?" Stiles asked laughing, he never thought that Derek would ever go to a date, that wasn't like him at all. But on the other side, Stiles also thought that Derek couldn't have a living, breathing girlfriend and a love life at all.
"Yeah, Peter" Isaac added and rolled his eyes. AHA! Stiles thought, not a girl-date.
After a while they all split up, some of them were dancing, while some of them were just sitting by a table talking about their new lives. It was like having a reunion. Derek and Peter came after a while, joining Scott, Stiles and Isaac by the table, while Lydia, Kira, Malia and Vicky was out on the dance floor.
"Who is she anyways?" Derek asked, looking at Scott. He was surprised that she was with his friends, and it felt weird that he hadn't heard about her before, when she clearly knew everything about them.
"I don't know, someone Lydia brought" Scott replied, his eyes never leaving Kira.
"Something's up about her" Derek pointed out, his eyes never leaving Vicky. It was strange how someone so mesmerizing could feel so wrong. Just the way her tattoo's on her left arm were climbing up from her wrist to underneath the sleeve of her dress, it made him crazy. But her smell, and the way she'd been talking to him earlier made him uneasy.
"Yeah, she's hot" Isaac pointed out. She was no Allison, but he'd had girls after her wherever he'd travelled. The first year he'd tried to find that perfect rebound, but no one could be the match of Allison. Then, it was all about getting that edge off. Peter just sat there looking at the younger boys, not really understanding what the point of him being at a high school party was. He was bored, but at the same time amused by listening to their naïve thoughts.
"No, earlier, she knew I was a werewolf, I've never seen her before" Derek said, making everyone around the table look at him with widened eyes.
"Elaborate" Peter said, now strictly amused.
"She was playing loud music so I was just telling her to turn it down. And there she was in her bra in front of me, and she called me a werewolf. And then, I left, thinking that it was just a coincidence. But then I walked up there again, and then she said that she could see beneath my eyes" Derek explained, his eyes never leaving Vicky on the dance floor. She was moving from the girls and to the bar where she got herself something to drink.
"You saw her in her bra?" Liam asked as he moved towards the table with a chair.
"How did she know?" Scott asked, his eyes moving from Derek to the mysterious girl.
"I have no idea" Derek replied. He watched Vicky as she downed the drink and moved from the bar to the other side of the room where she walked out a door.
