Shout out to TheMorbidGal and Guest for reviewing! Love your name by the way TheMorbidGirl :) Thanks so much for the sweet words! I really enjoy writing so i'm happy you feel the way you do about my writing :) It's a slow burn with Jade and Derek but i'll add in little bits and bobs ;) Hope you like this one too!

Jade's p.o.v

"If you won't talk to us, you need to talk to Deaton" Scott says.

"I didn't mean to lie to you Scott" I say, feeling his anger as we walk through the front door of his house with Isaac behind us. Turns out he lives here too. He seems nice though.

"You lied, the whole time you were with us, you lied" he says. I grab his arm and make him look at me. Isaac chooses this moment to go up to his room. Good call.

"When Derek told you about the bite, the hunters, did you believe him?" I ask Scott. Scott sighs in defeat and shakes his head. "That's what I thought. Scott, I didn't want the only family I knew to think I was crazy, I couldn't lose you guys as well" I say.

"What are you?" he asks me.

"A water kitsune" I say, looking down at my feet.

"That's why you protected Kira back there with the twins" I nod. "How did you end up like this?"

"I was born like this. My Nana, the one that passed away and I was sent to live with you, she was one too. My name, Jade Murphy, Murphy means 'The Sea Battlers', Scott this supernatural gene has been going on in our family long before me or you" I say, trying to fix things. Scott looks abit shocked by all the sudden information. "You can be mad if you want Scott but you need to understand why I did what I did"

"No..I-I get it" he says. "I lied to Mum for a whole year. I didn't want her getting hurt"

"Aunty knows?" he nods.

"You need to tell her what you are" Scott says. Before I can answer, his phone starts ringing. Scott starts freaking out, calling out to Stiles down the phone.

"Scott?" I ask when he puts his phone down.

"Isaac!" he calls out. Isaac comes running in the room. "We have to go, we need to find Stiles" he says, throwing on a jumper.

"What's wrong with Stiles?" I ask Scott.

"I don't know" he says.

..

Scott and Isaac are looking all through the hospital for Stiles. I have to stay with Derek because, and I quote, 'Derek can keep me safe is something happens'. So now they're off running through the hospital and Derek and I are on the roof.

"The scent so strong up here" I note.

"Ever heard of chemosignals?" he asks me. I shake my head. "Chemical signals that communicate emotion. Just our sweat can give off anger, fear or disgust" he tells me. "Tell me what you feel"

"I haven't practiced my abilities in a long time" I tell him.

"Just take a deep breath and tell me what you feel" he says. I close my eyes and inhale deeply. I can smell him, a mixture of pine and dirt. Back on track Jade! I can smell something..

"There's stress.."

"Anxiety" he says.

"Stiles had an anxiety attack?" I ask immediantly. I know how difficult they can be for him.

"Not necessarily" Derek says, looking at me now.

"Good" I sigh. "What was he doing up here?"

"I don't know, but there's definately some kind of struggle-"

"With who? What? Is he hurt?" I cut in. Derek glares at me and I shut up.

"He was struggling with himself" Derek assures me. I nod and let that information sink in. "Hey, we're going to find him" Derek says.

"What's happening to him?" I ask Derek, needing some sort of closure as to why the hell my not-so-brother-brother is sleep walking and bleeding somewhere.

"I don't know but we'll find him and save him. We always think of something" Derek says, coming to stand closer to me.

"I hope so" I sigh, blinking back tears. "I-I can't lose anyone else. Not after my Nana and..I can't" I say. I look up and Derek's watching me.

"You won't lose Stiles. None of us will let that happen" he tells me softly. I just nod, feeling my eyes sting. I lean into him when he pulls me to him. If this is one of he only times he hugs me, that's okay. That smell of pine and dirt attacks me and it calms me. I go to nuzzle deeper into the older wolf but I hear Scott so we pull away. Scott and Isaac come running over to us.

"We're going to the shrieff, you two go to the high school" Scott says.

"Scott, I want to go with you, I want to protect you" I try.

"I'll be fine, I have Isaac. You need to stay with Derek" he says, turning to run off again.

"Scott! Argh!" I groan when he runs out of sight with Isaac behind him.

"Sorry you got stuck with me again" Derek says when I turn around.

"No, it's not that. I like being with you" I say. My eyes widen when I realise how that sounded. "I can't let Scott get hurt" I say, biting my thumbnail nervously, hoping to make him forget what I just said.

"He's a true alpha, he can protect himself" Derek tells me, deciding to ignore the comment.

"No..it's..never mind" I say.

"What is it?" he asks.

"Scott's..Scott, Stiles, John and Melissa are all I have left" I sigh. "It isn't the time for us to be having a heart to heart, we need to get to the school" Derek nods before we take off towards his car, mine still at Scott's.

..

"Wait" I say to Derek when he pulls into the empty school parking lot. He looks over at me. I read the text from Scott. "They found him" I sigh in relief.

"Where was he?" Derek asks.

"He was in that coyote den, he was asleep the whole time" I say. I decide to call Scott.

"Jade, it's not a good time-" Scott is cut off by Stiles' screaming.

"Scott! Stiles!" I yell down the phone.

"He's okay, he's fine-"

"He doesn't sound like he's fine Scott" I say, tears welling in my eyes as I hear Stiles screaming for someone to wait and for them to let him go.

"I promise, he's fine" Scott tells me. "We're going to the hospital, meet us there" Scott says before hanging up.

"Get to the-the hospital" I say to Derek, wiping my eyes before the tears can fall.

..

I rush into the hospital to see Scott, Lydia, John, Rafael, one of the twins and Melissa.

"Where is he?" I ask Melissa.

"He's sleeping in the other room" she says, rubbing my back amoung seeing my puffy red eyes from crying.

"Is he going to be okay?" I croak. Scott stands up and hugs me.

"Hey, it's okay, I know" Scott whispers as I cling to him. I just got back here and my family's already in trouble.

"We're going to run some tests in the morning" John tells me.

"You kids get home, you have school in 6 hours" Melissa says.

"I don't, i'm staying here" I tell them. Aunty sighs.

"Honey, I know you want to be here for him but you need some sleep, you're tired and-"

"I'm staying here" I repeat, sitting down. Everyone sort of stares at me before getting ready to go themselves. Scott takes a seat next to me. I notice Derek sits down as well, further away from us but he's willing to wait it out as well.

"No, Scott, you have school" Aunty Melissa says.

"I want to stay here as well, watch over Jade" he says.

"There's actually something we need to talk about" I say, realising Scott is the only one who knows what I really am. None of the pack, apart from Derek, have pushed me to tell them. Scott must have said something to them.

"What is it sweetie?" Melissa asks, grabbing my hand. I launch into my story of how I was abandoned as a child by her sister and her husband, my mother and father. How my Nana took me in and realised what I was, taught me how to control it and how to hide my tails and fox aura. I told her that my Nana was 2000 when she died and I was sent to live with them, as Nana wished in her will like she knew it was coming. How I lied the entire time. "No, sweetie, I understand. We both do, right Scott?" Scott nods. "What happened to Daniel? I thought you two were in love, where is he?" she asks. I chuckle sadly.

"I came home from work early to suprise him and he was..he was with some other girl. We got into a fight and I found out he'd been cheating for a year" I tell them both. It feels a little awkward to be revealing this considering Derek's sitting a few metres away and he can no doubt hear what i'm saying.

"I'm so sorry sweetie" Aunt Mel says, giving me a hug. "So you just packed a bag and left?"

"No..I beat the crap out of both of them and got kicked out of his house" I say a little proudly, even chuckling a little. I faintly hear Derek chuckle and I have to force the heat in my cheeks to go down.

"Well you're welcome to stay with us for as long as you like, we have another guest room right across from Scott's" she says.

"Thank you so much" I say, pulling her into another hug.

"Now if you're both going to stay out here, let me get you some blankets" she says, wiping the tears from my face before leaving to get blankets. I lean into Scott's shoulder and he leans into me.

"I'm sorry for what happened with Daniel. I didn't think he was like that" Scott says.

"It's okay, what's done is done. He was a shit boyfriend anyway. And I get to stay with my little bro now, i'm okay" I say, nudging him. He nudges me back.

"And Stiles" he adds.

"And little Sti" I agree. Aunty Melissa comes back over and gives us both a blanket each. We nod our thanks and get comfortable, making sure our shoulders are touching, needing the physical comfort. I watch with a soft smile as Melissa takes Derek one. He gives her a small smile and says thank you. When she walks away he catches me staring. I smile at him before leaning back into Scott and getting ready to have the most uncomfortable sleep of my life.
