Emily Bane

Stiles was, obviously, one of my better students. Some of the others were...difficult at best, but that was to be expected. I mean, I had dealt with some very difficult children already, and I hadn't been in teaching for long!

It was hard trying to teach some days though, especially when my fox – yes, I'm a were-fox – was too close to the surface.

But hey, I had a good handle on it.

I hadn't been in California for too long, only moving from Washington four months and nineteen day ago – ish – and I had been working at the Beacon Hills High for three months and three days now.

Now, we were only a week until Christmas holidays and it was almost 2013!

December 21st couldn't come fast enough!

For now, I just had to put up with grading a shit load of essays and quizzes, most of which wouldn't be above a C minus. Of course, there would be a few B's and only two A's, but the majority would be C minus or below.

Honestly, it made me wonder what the teachers at this school did for the kids to get such bad grades! Yeah, sure, the blame couldn't be put on the teachers – the kids decided whether or not to turn up and focus – but the least they could do would be to make the lessons interesting! Hell, the number of students that get B's in my class now is higher than the number of B's I got at the beginning of the year, just be me making the lessons interesting!

People confused me.


I had literally only just finished packing my car – a red Camaro – up for the night, ready to take the fifteen minute drive back to my apartment. It was already gone 7:30 in the evening and all I wanted to do was go home and sleep.

Maybe have a whiskey or two.

Yeah, what are the chances of that?

Sighing, I slammed the boot of my car before digging in my pocket for my keys. I mean, there was no way I was carrying my car home again, especially when there was still a chance people could be out and about – at least last time it was only the drunks that would have seen...

"Just focus on getting home, Emily." I muttered to myself.

Yeah, I know, 'talking to yourself is the first sign of madness', but I didn't care. Anyone who met me would probably think I was insane – in a bad way... Of course, few that actually stopped to get to know actually enjoyed my insane – in a good way – ramblings. Now that many did, though.

Of course, that was what made talking to Stiles easy, as well as one of the reasons I talked to the kid. I knew what it was like to have no one to talk to because they thought you were weird as soon as you opened your mouth. Of course, some of the things Stiles said were hilarious and strangely sounded like things I would say.

It was kind of creepy, but kind of cool...

Anyway. Home. Yes, good idea.


I was five minutes – ish – into the drive when I saw it.

It was just a flash, a blur... Well, that's what it looked like at first.

When I saw the flash again, I caught a glimpse of red eyes.

Alpha wolf... Fuck!

Not too far in front of me was a turn onto the Preserve... Seemed as good of a place as any to face him/her. I mean, less likely for humans to see anything happening, especially if those humans happened to be hunters...

So, yeah, turning onto the Preserve, I drove in as deep as I could before the trees made it impossible for me to go any further.

Of course, I wasn't stupid.

I wasn't moving until the wolf showed its face.

"Come on, Em." I mumbled to myself. "Not like it's the worst thing you've faced."

Unbuckling my seatbelt, I leaned back in my seat, folding my arms over my chest. I could see the faint outlines in the dark of the forest of six – no, eleven – people... But not all of them were wolves.

Four were human.

Of course, that wasn't uncommon. The majority of Packs included human members. They were what kept the human side alive in us supernatural beings. And there was also the fact that humans could also be a supernatural's Mate.

Hell, my Uncle – married into the family – was human, but he was my Aunts Mate.

Humans were good.

When they weren't trying to kill you, that is.

"Come out when you're ready." I sighed, knowing they could hear me. "Otherwise I'll just turn around and go home."

That's all it took for the Alpha to walk out, standing in the light that my headlights gave off.

Suffice to say I was surprised to see it was Derek Hale...

Does Stiles know...?

Well, my question was answered when the rest of the Pack walked out and, standing on Derek's right, was Stiles.

Then I spotted Scott.

And Jackson.

And Isaac.

And all of the ones I see them hanging out with.

Well... That was unexpected.

"Get out of the car." Hale growled, red eyes flashing.

Rolling my eyes, I thought it better to slip out of my car rather than wait to be dragged out of it. Getting out my own was way more preferable.

"Well, must say I did expect this to happen." I sighed.
