Skye's POV

I laughed looking up from the last minute homework I was trying to get done because I could hear Isaac's protests of being bored since he's been cooped up here for days now but we couldn't help it since he still was wanted for his father's death.

"I'm done, I'm ready to kill him" I looked up as Derek walked in sitting down frustrated by Isaac's latest attempts.

"What do you want me to do about it?" I asked rolling my eyes.

"Give him more homework" I scoffed shaking my head.

"I can only give him so much of my own homework Derek" I looked down at my phone and knew that if I didn't start getting ready I was going to be late for school. "I got to get ready for school, am I going to come back and find Isaac mauled to death" he growled rolling his eyes making me smile as I grabbed my towel and some clothes. "Don't kill him" I sang as I walked out and headed to the bathroom's locking the door behind me.

I finally emerged in black leather jeans, blue denim button-up shirt with my leather jacket and walked back into my shared train car to grab my high top wedge ankle boots pulling them on before grabbing my backpack and got ready to leave.

"Okay boys I'm out of here, don't kill each other while I'm gone" I walked towards the stairs but Derek appeared out of nowhere stopping me.

"Are you really leaving me alone with him?" I scoffed and rolled my eyes.

"You'll be fine Derek, I'll bring home some more work for him and might even scrounge up some proper entertainment for a teenager" I leaned in and kissed him before leaning back and patting his chest. "I'll be back straight after school but for now, bond with him instead of treating him like an intruder" he frowned making me laugh. "Oh don't look so glum Derek, I'm not asking you to go out with him" he growled shaking his head and grabbed my waist stopping me from leaving again as he kissed me.

"Don't tease me Skye" I chuckled rolling my eyes as I pushed him back before he had the chance to kiss me again.

"Are you going to let me go, I'm already going to be late" he pulled me tighter in protest and kissed me again momentarily making me forget about school until he pulled away.

"You have school remember" I glared at him because he knew the affect he had on me and used it to his advantage constantly lately.

"You need to stop doing that" I told him as I stepped back.

"Doing what?" he asked while smirking so he knew exactly what he was doing.

"You're such a jerk!" I stomped my foot and went to leave but he grabbed my hand pulling me back to him in a hug, I fought against him but again gave in and hugged him back smiling when his lips fell to my neck and left soft gentle kisses as he breathed in my scent. "I have to go"

"Okay" he let me go but I pulled him into one last kiss because I just couldn't help it.

"I love you" I whispered with our foreheads pressed together.

"I love you to" he replied in the same soft tone making me smile and kissed his cheek before finally leaving.

I parked my bike next to Stiles' crappy Jeep then hurried into school since I was running really late, I dropped my bag and helmet off in my locker room cubby hole and quickly changed into some work out gear before slipping into the gym going unnoticed by coach and looked up at the large rock wall in front of me with distaste, I despised rock climbing and would honestly rather shoot myself in the face then climb fake colored rocks.

"Hey Ally, what's up?" I asked stepping up beside her and she turned frowning.

"Hey I didn't see you"

"I was running late this morning" I replied and watched her eyes furrow since she knew I was living with Derek and that situation now included a certain runaway teenage fugitive.

"Did you hear about the thing that attacked Scott and I last night?" I frowned looking up at her and shook my head then over towards Scott and Stiles with slight anger since even though I was with Derek I deserve to know these things. "It was really weird, the thing was scaled and had a tail"

"Like a reptile?" I asked confused since I haven't heard of anything that fit that description before in any of my dad's supernatural creature lessons.

"Yeah" I didn't like the sound of that. "Has your dad told you about anything like that?" I shook my head.

"There was a lot my dad was reluctant to tell me about, he always wanted me to focus on werewolves and said leave the rest to the adults" I frowned as I talked about my dad because I was still angry at him.

"Argent, McCall your up!" coach yelled making me smiled and elbow Allison as she and Scott headed to the rock wall to get strapped in to the harnesses before they began climbing to the top, I turned to Stiles since I was angry they didn't say anything to me.

"Why didn't you and Scott tell me about the creature he saw last night?"

"I only heard about it this morning and you weren't here, we thought you might have heard about it from Derek since we think it's what killed Mr Lahey" I frowned.

"Well don't just assume that Derek tells me everything or that he knows all either since he's just as confused as we all are on what the hell this thing is that killed Isaac's dad" I crossed my arms over my chest as I avoided direct eye contact with him.

We didn't say anything to each other after that and it kind of hurt still that they didn't seem to trust me and now that they knew I was seeing Derek it was even worse, I know I wasn't the friendliest of people when I first moved here but I thought we could at least start trying to be friends especially after everything we've been through together.

I looked up hearing all the other students break out into laughter and saw Scott laying against the mat looking like he'd fallen from the top and saw Allison was ashamed so she must have done something to make Scott fall.

"Venandi, Erica let's go, the wall" I looked over at the coach when he said my name then looked at the other girl he'd pointed at and frowned because she looked scared.

We stepped forwards and got strapped into our harnesses then I began climbing the wall and surprisingly made my way easily to the top without slipping once, I smiled to myself then turned to look at Erica but she wasn't beside me so I looked down and saw that she was stuck in the middle of the wall frozen in place and looking like she was starting to hyperventilate.

"Help please!" I heard her say so I repelled down to her as everyone congregated at the bottom of the wall.

"Erica!" Coach yelled up at her from the bottom of the wall. "Dizzy, is It vertigo?"

"Vertigo is a dysfunction of the vestibule system of the inner ear" Lydia argued with him. "She's just freaking out" I could hear the other students laughing.

"That's not helping!" I called down then turned to Erica when I stopped beside her. "Hey Erica, my names Skye" I got her attention and gave her a warm smile to try and help calm her down.

"Coach maybe it isn't safe, you know she's epileptic" I heard Allison say making me frown but I quickly hid it and smiled at Erica again.

"Why doesn't anybody tell me this stuff?" coach replied making me roll my eyes because the office probably did have this written down in the class roll and he just didn't bother to remember. "Erica, your fine just kick off from the wall, there's a mat to catch you" she started sobbing so I moved my hand to grab hers.

"We'll go together" she nodded then leaned back from the wall and I helped her repel down landing on the mat together.

"See your fine, your on the ground your alright, let's go shake it off your fine" I rolled my eyes at coach as Erica unhooked herself looking back at everyone as they started laughing before she walked out of the gym.

"Why don't you all just shut up, that could be you and how funny would you find it then!" I yelled making them all stop and stare at me but I could care less about my public image.

I unhooked myself then stormed out of the gym going back into the locker rooms to find Erica but she wasn't here so I changed back into my clothes as other girls started changing completely ignoring my presence and I left the locker room to ignore them just the same but saw Scott ran past me back into the gym so I ran in after him and saw him catch Erica as she fell off the rock wall just in time and immediately noticed she was seizing so I ran closer with the rest of the class right behind me.

"Put her on her side!" I told Scott kneeling to the ground beside him to help him move her onto her side and felt Erica grab my hand.

"How did you know?" Allison asked Scott.

"I just felt it" Scott replied looking at me as I was trying to calm Erica down.

"Erica it's okay, it's okay" I soothed as she seized. "Someone get the nurse!" I called back to the class.

Erica was taken to the hospital and the whole time throughout classes I couldn't help think about her because I wanted to help her since I knew how it felt to be an outcast now more than ever so when I walked into the train depo after school and Derek looked up with a smile I couldn't give one back because my mind was too preoccupied and walked straight into our train car to change.

"Skye?" he followed me in. "Are you o…shit sorry" he turned his back and I found myself smiling a little as I pulled a simple purple t-shirt over my head.

"Your good now" he turned his head just slightly to make sure before he turned around.

"What's wrong?" I frowned shaking my head. "Skye I can tell somethings bothering you" I exhaled loudly as I sat down on one of the seats.

"Something happened today at school and I can't stop thinking about it" he sat down in the seat across from me.

"What happened, are you okay?" I nodded my head but refused to look at him. "Skye please, tell me what happened?"

"This girl Erica in my year, we we're climbing the rock wall in gym but she started panicking because she's epileptic and I managed to calm her down enough to repel down but everyone started laughing at her" Derek growled under his breath. "Then after class she tried to climb the wall like she wanted to prove she could do it but she was alone and without the harness, she fell but Scott caught her having felt it somehow and again everyone laughed at her even as she was having a seizure and I might have went off at my classmates again" he grabbed my hands with one of his then lifted my chin with his other.

"Skye they deserved it, no one should be treated that way especially someone who can't help it" I nodded.

"That's exactly what I said to them" I looked up at him and knew this probably wasn't going to help but I knew it was an option. "Can the bite heal her?" he frowned and I immediately looked down.

"It's hard to say Skye, sometimes the bite can cure minor illnesses like Scott's asthma but it's never 100% certain and that's if she even survives, I don't want to do this if your going to come to regret telling me about her if she dies" I looked up at him.

"It's her choice obviously but I spent the whole school day thinking I had to help her, I want to help her Derek because she doesn't deserve this" he nodded then stood and grabbed his jacket before holding out his hand which surprised me.

"I want your help on this one, she might be more comfortable with someone she knows and it was your idea so I know you'll want to see it through" I nodded standing up and taking his hand, we walked out and Isaac looked up probably having been listening in the entire time. "We're going out, stay here" Derek demanded and I rolled my eyes as Isaac frowned and I know it was because he hated being cooped up in here.

"Next time Isaac I promise" I assured him with a small smile and he nodded but still looked glum as Derek and I left getting into his Camaro and started towards the hospital.

"Your too soft on him" Derek said making me look up.

"Your too hard on him, he's a teenager Derek and believe me we hate being cooped up especially in a place without technology, you need to try and be just a little nicer to him" he rolled his eyes at me which made me glare. "Don't roll your eyes at me Hale!" he looked over and smiled.

"What are you going to do about it?"

"Don't use my own words against me or I swear I'll never kiss you again" he growled and I watched his eyes shift blood red making me smile because I knew that'd get a reaction out of him. "Ease up babe" I leaned over and kissed his cheek.

We pulled up in the hospital carpark and straight away the joking manner dropped as we got out and started following the halls trying to find her room, I saw Mrs McCall come out of a room down the hall and I slipped behind Derek just in case she saw me and recognized me.

"What are you…?"

"Shh" I scolded him then looked around him and saw she was gone so I fell back into step with Derek then saw Erica laying on a bed through the small window on the room in front of us. "It's this one" he nodded then we walked in and he grabbed the bed wheeling it out, Erica started looking around but Derek stilled her head.

"Lie still" I frowned looking around as Derek wheeled the bed down the hall and into the morgue which was a really creepy thing to do but it was the less frequented place in the hospital so I knew it was so we weren't disturbed and questioned on what the hell we we're doing with a sick teenager.

I closed the door behind us and did a double check that we weren't followed before turning around and went to stand next to Derek seeing Erica sit up and stare at him in fear before her eyes fell on me so I tried my best to smile.

"Skye?" I nodded and held up my hand.

"Hey Erica"

"Side effects may include anxiety, weight gain, acne, ulcerative colitis yesh" I slapped Derek's arm as he read out the side effects of the medication Erica was on.

"Who are you?" Erica asked looking at Derek.

"Let's just say we have a mutual friend" Derek replied after smiling at her and he looked towards me as I rolled my eyes at the elusive reply. "You get a warning right before you have a seizure?" he asked walking closer to her.

"It's called an aura, it's…it's like a metallic taste in my mouth"

"You don't have to lie Erica, what's it really taste like?" I frowned looking at Derek as he stood at her feet and was leaning into her.

"It tastes like blood" I pushed myself off the metal bench I was leaning on and walked towards her to put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"What if we told you that all of this could go away?" I asked her hoping I wasn't wrong about this because I knew I'd never forgive myself if she didn't survive. "The side effects, the symptoms-?"

"All of it" Derek added making Erica turn to him again. "And what if all those things not only went away but everything else got even better" Erica laughed slightly with a smile on her face.

"How?" she asked us.

"Let me show you" Derek replied and glowed his eyes at her.

"What are you?" she asked and surprised me by not being afraid at all.

"He's a werewolf" I filled in as Derek stepped back to stand beside me. "And he can turn you into one so that all of what we said will come true but there's a cost" I looked at Derek to fill in the rest.

"There are hunters who will try and kill you and until you learn to control it you'll turn every full moon with the urge to maim and kill anything you run into and there is a chance it might not even work and you could…die" she was taking all this in.

"It's your choice Erica, he wont bite you without your consent I promise"

"Bite?" Derek and I both nodded.

"Just a small one, it's how I turn you" Derek replied before we all fell into silence waiting for Erica's decision since we didn't have much time.

"Will I really be better?" we nodded. "Then yes, I don't care about the risks if there's a chance I want it all gone" I smiled but couldn't help the small amount of dread.

"I'll keep watch" Derek nodded probably knowing I didn't want to see him actually bite someone since I still wasn't ready to completely embrace all the werewolf life having been a hunter almost my entire life I still had mixed feelings about somethings.

I heard Erica whine as Derek's fangs sunk into her flesh and I closed my eyes as I kept my back turned to them until I felt Derek touch my lower back and looked up to see him nod before I completely turned to Erica seeing her covering her side with the paper clinic gown again.

We returned her to her room before we left and I was silent the whole way back to the train depo, not because I was ashamed or regretted asking Derek to do this but because I was worried about Erica since I now felt responsible for her.

"Are you sure she's going to be okay?" I asked as we got out and started to walk inside.

"Yes Skye, she looked okay when we left and that's a good sign" I nodded satisfied by that and went down the stairs seeing Isaac reading a book.

"Hey Isaac" he looked up and smiled.

"Hey Skye" he threw the book aside then sat up and looked at Derek. "How'd it go?" I looked behind me as Derek walked down the stairs.

"Fine" he replied making me frown because he was still being an ass.

"He means it went as good as it could for now but we won't know until later, I gave Erica my number so she'll call with the news in the morning" he nodded then we both watched as Derek strode into our shared train car without another word. "Don't worry about him" I added glaring towards where Derek disappeared to. "You wanna play monopoly?" he nodded so we set up the board and played one game before parting ways into our own train cars for bed.

I saw Derek laying down on our makeshift bed in nothing but his boxers and fought with the urge to jump him since I was mad at him because no matter how much I said be kinder to Isaac he was refusing and it was really starting to piss me off so I went about getting changed for bed right in front of him without care or acknowledging his presence.

"Skyler" I heard him growl out as I pulled my shirt off along with my bra then slipped one of his oversized shirts on before shedding my leather pants then climbed into bed opting out of putting on some pants. "What are you doing?" I turned out the lamp beside the bed again not caring that he was reading. "Are you ignoring me?"

"Give the dog a bone" I spat back and heard his growl of disapproval at my word choice.

"What have I done this time?" I didn't reply and crawled under the covers rolling to face away from him. "Really, you want to play this game?" I still ignored him. "Fine" he moved to lay down and didn't try to cuddle into me so we ended up falling asleep on two separate ends of the mattress.

I woke up before dawn having not gotten much sleep at all and quietly grabbed some clothes so that I didn't wake the sleeping werewolf then slipped out of the train car to shower, change then went to school not wanting to have it out with Derek this morning but even school sucked today.

I was sitting in the front row of Biology taking simple notes over the video we were watching about vaccinations but seriously was barely keeping my eyes open because of the lack of sleep and just the boredom of this class since whoever made this video hired the worst voice over person because she talked in a monotone voice and monotone voice plus darkened classroom equals sleepy uninterested class.

The bell finally rang and I was quick to grab my things and make my way towards my locker but stopped when I saw Jackson grab Lydia and pull her aside before he started yelling at her so I started to walk up angrily.

"I don't have a clue what you're talking about" Lydia replied to something Jackson said as he pushed her back against a wall.

"It's…it's you whatever it is…blood, saliva…whatever soul-killing substance is running through your veins, you did this to me you ruined it for me, you ruin EVERYTHING!" he walked away and Lydia quickly ran off before I could say anything so I walked towards Jackson as he stopped at his locker and slammed the door shut in his face making him jump.

"Leave Lydia alone Jackson or I won't hesitate to put a bullet between your eyes" I walked away without letting him say anything but I couldn't help wonder what that was all about, I knew Derek had given him the bite but he seemed to be immune like Lydia so that is probably what he's pissed about and is trying to blame Lydia for.

I put my stuff away in my locker before heading to the cafeteria and grabbed some food before looking around for a place to sit, I saw Scott and Stiles sitting at a nearby table but didn't feel like dealing with them today so I continued to look around and saw some empty seats next to a kid I haven't had the liberty of meeting yet so I walked towards him.

"Are these taken?" he looked up surprised.

"Uh no" I frowned looking at him confused. "There all yours if you really want them" I set my tray down and took a seat but he continued to stare at me like I was a freak.

"What?" I asked him but he just shook his head and looked down again. "I'm Skye by the way" he looked up still with the confused look in his eyes.

"Boyd" I smiled and held out my hand which he took a second before staring at it hesitantly.

"If we we're in kindergarten this'd mean we're best friends" I joked and finally got a small tight lipped smile out of him but then noticed everyone was looking up so I followed their gazes and saw Erica walk into the cafeteria in a black mini skirt, white tank top, leather jacket and cheetah print shoes, her makeup was flawless, her hair was curled to perfection and she had a smirk on her face that said 'Hell yeah I'm hot'

I smiled already knowing about this grand entrance having been texting with her all morning and it was why she wasn't at school and couldn't believe how good she looked and was ecstatic that it'd worked because she deserved to throw this in everyone's faces, I watched Erica take a bite out of a boy's apple looking straight at Scott and Stiles before she smirked and walked out of the room with Scott and Stiles hot on her heels making me smile even more.

After lunch I walked to my locker to grab my next class books and didn't even need to look up to know Stiles and Scott we're right behind me, I rolled my eyes as I closed my locker and turned to face them.

"What can I do for you boys?" Scott was glaring at me and Stiles wasn't as pissed but was just as well angry.

"What's Derek doing?" Scott spat at me.

"How should I know, I don't try to understand the way a males mind works" I slung my backpack over my shoulder. "Nor do I know anything about his plans" Scott growled and grabbed my hands pushing me up against the lockers.

"Who's next?"

"Let me go Scott!" I exclaimed loud enough to draw notice but he didn't let up so I easily turned a disarming move and changed our positions. "You ever grab me like that again and I'll kill you!" I slammed him back into the locker before I walked away rubbing my wrists which had bruises already from Scott's grip.

After school I headed back to the train depo but stopped by the convenience store and brought some foundation to try and cover up the bruises on my arm because even though I was mad at Scott for grabbing me like that I knew Derek would flip his shit at Scott if he saw them.

I finally headed in when I was satisfied they we're hidden enough and saw Erica with Isaac making me smile as I walked towards them.

"Awesome entrance Erica" she turned and smiled.

"Really?" I nodded making her laugh but then Derek came out of our train car and I saw Isaac bristle looking between us as if he was expecting us to fight.

"Hey babe" I walked up and kissed his cheek.

"Hi" he replied sounding a little unsure himself.

"I was thinking we grab pizza tonight" I walked towards my backpack to grab my phone to order it for pick up.

"Skye are you okay?" Isaac asked me, I turned and smiled at him.

"Of course I'm okay, why wouldn't I be okay?" they all frowned at me and I realised they'd all heard my heart jump when I lied. "Hey no wolf hearing?!" god if I thought Derek was bad now I was surrounded by three werewolves.

"Skye what's wrong?" Derek asked taking a step towards me.

"Nothing!" I protested but he looked up at me with a glare then continued his way over and seemed to take a deep breathe before he grabbed my wrists and wiped the make-up off reveling the deep purple and blue bruises.

"Who did this to you?!" he exclaimed.

"Just let it go Derek" I pulled my arms out of his hold and tried to walk away but he grabbed me without thinking and I hissed in pain as he grabbed me right over my bruises but let go as soon as I made a noise.

"Tell me who did it Skyler?" Erica and Isaac walked into his train car to give us some kind of privacy but they could still no doubt hear everything.

"I said no" I replied glaring at him. "It's not important"

"Yes it is if they hurt you, now tell me who did it"

"Nobody I fell" I lied and he growled looking up at me with blood red eyes. "Don't glow your eyes at me Derek, I don't have to tell you anything" I walked away from him into our train car and changed into one of his long sleeved shirts before emerging again. "Now I'm going to get food, I'll be back in a little bit" I walked towards him as he stood stiffly still glaring at me as I grabbed his keys out of his pocket. "Erica, you want to come?" she came out and looked to Derek for confirmation, he nodded so we walked out together and got into his Camaro and I drove to the nearest pizza parlor ordering a simple cheese and meatlovers.

"So who really did that to you?" she asked while we we're waiting.

"Sorry Erica but I won't tell you either because Derek can force it out of you with some kind of Alpha spark"

"Why won't you tell him?"

"Because Derek can be really impulsively protective and I don't want the person who did this to get hurt"

"It was Scott wasn't it?" I frowned looking up at her. "Don't worry I won't tell Derek"

"Thanks Erica"

"So you and Derek are really mates?" I smiled and nodded my head.

"Yeah I didn't believe it at first and went as far as denying it but eventually I couldn't and fell in love with him, he's everything to me and all I have left"

"Where's your parents?" I frowned avoiding her eyes.

"They died, my mom two years ago and my father…a few weeks ago"

"Oh my god, I'm sorry" I shook my head.

"Don't be, I don't care" she frowned confused but I didn't elaborate and grabbed our pizza's when they called my name and on the way home she asked if I could drop her home so I did before returning to the train depo and called the boys out.

Isaac came out straight away and dug into the pizza but Derek didn't emerge until a few minutes after Isaac and I had already started eating and he only came out to grab his share of the food before going back into the train car.

"You need to talk to him, he's been grumbling the whole time you we're gone"

"It's not that easy Isaac, he needs to understand he can't order or control me" we both heard a deep growl come from our train car. "Oh bite me" I muttered making Isaac laugh.

Isaac and I hung out until it started getting late and we both went to bed after I gave him an old Gameboy of mine that I'd found mixed up with the stuff from my house and some homework to work on over the next few days.

I walked into our train car and saw Derek fast asleep on top of the covers with his paper plate full of pizza barely touched making me frown as I grabbed it and tossed it out since I really didn't want to deal with rodents in our already barely livable headquarters then grabbed a spare blanket and laid it over him before grabbing some clothes and showered before returning and climbed into bed with him falling asleep on the opposite side of the mattress again.

I woke up but this time Derek was the one who'd been up with the sun and he left a note saying 'Gone out' with nothing else written making me frown as I got changed for school pulling on some black frayed jeans, white singlet with a black sleeveless vest over the top before pulling on my combat boots and headed out.

I decided not to park next to Stiles' Jeep today since it didn't look like I was on the best of terms with the two morons lately and when I walked in I saw Allison so I decided to see if she was angry at me as well.

"Hey Ally"

"Hey Skye" she frowned so I guessed Scott told her.

"Are you going to yell at me for Erica to?" she looked over and shook her head.

"I know you can't control Derek but I have to know, did you know about Isaac and Erica" I nodded my head. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I can't, I can't betray Derek like that and I know it's hard to believe but he's not the bad guy since he's only doing what he feels is necessary since your grandfather is waging war on all werewolves which will soon involve Scott" she sighed but nodded. "You know how it feels to love a werewolf and for us it makes everything complicated" she smiled and nodded her head again. "So how was the big double date last night?"

"It was great up until Lydia broke down and started screaming"

"Screaming?" I asked looking up but she was looking down the hall so I followed her line of sight and saw Scott pressed up against the lockers with Erica's arms draped over his shoulders, they both looked our way seeing us standing here and Erica smiled while Scott looked angry.

"I gotta go, I'll fill you in later okay I promise" Allison quickly said then turned and disappeared down the hall we'd just come from, I turned back and watched Scott grabbed her arms pushing them away before he turned and saw Allison was gone, Erica smiled one last time before walking towards me.

"Have fun?" I asked her and she smiled as she passed me, I looked back at Scott to see he was still glaring my way so I turned and headed the other way avoiding him since he was still clearly pissed.

At lunch time I walked into the cafeteria and looked around but didn't see Boyd which was odd since I had noticed him around school when I first moved here and he never seemed to miss a day of school, I then looked up to Scott and saw Stiles walk over to him and point at the table Boyd always sat in so I walked closer to catch their conversation.

"Do you see that?" Stiles asked him.

"What, it's an empty table?" Scott replied clearly missing the point.

"Yeah but whose empty table?" Stiles asked him again making me frown.

"It's Boyd's" I filled in making them both turn to look at me.

"It's Derek, he's turning him" Stiles spoke up as they walked out of the cafeteria with me following them.

"No he would have told me" I protested shaking my head.

"I'm gonna go to the ice rink and see if he's there and if he's not at home you call me, got it?" Scott said looking at Stiles completely ignoring me but Stiles looked hesitant. "What?"

"Maybe we should let him" Stiles replied looking back at Scott. "Boyd, you know man" he turned to look at me. "You said Derek's giving them a choice, right?" he added then looked back at Scott.

"We can't" Scott protested pulling Stiles away from me making me glare at him because seriously when did I become the bad guy again.

"You got to admit Erica looks pretty good, you know the word 'sensational' comes to mind" I laughed at Stiles' reply as I continued to follow them.

"How good do you think she's gonna look with a wolfsbane laced bullet in her head?" Scott argued with Stiles and I frowned because I'd opted not to think about that and trusted the pack to protect each other.

"Alright all I'm saying is maybe this one isn't totally your responsibility"

"They all are" Scott protested with him again and turned back to frown at me as I continued to follow them not caring that Scott clearly had a problem with me. "And you know this things gonna get out of control, that makes me responsible" he added looking back at Stiles.

"Alright I'm with you!" Stiles replied making me roll my eyes because was there ever a doubt that Stiles wouldn't eventually agree with Scott. "And I also got to say this newfound heroism is making me very attracted to you"

"Shut up" Scott scoffed.

"No seriously, do you want to just try making out for a sec, just to see how it feels?" I pretended to gag as Scott pushed Stiles forward.

I watched them both leave from my bike before I pulled on my helmet and followed Scott to the ice rink but he must have known I was following him because when I pulled up he was standing next to his pushbike glaring at me.

"Look Scott I know you hate me right now but if you guys are right then Derek has gone behind my back to turn someone which he promised me he wouldn't do so like it or not we're on the same side this time" I hung my helmet over the handle bar then walked in ahead of him but he was quick to catch up as we both headed inside and saw Boyd driving the Zamboni on the ice.

"Boyd!" Scott yelled making Boyd looked at us but he kept working, I sighed and followed him out onto the ice being careful not to slip. "I just want to talk"

"Hey come on Boyd, please" I tried to add a softer approach.

"Did Derek tell you everything?" Scott asked as we continued our approach towards the working Zamboni. "And I don't just mean going out of control on the full moons, I mean everything"

"He told me about the hunters" Boyd finally replied stopping the Zamboni and turned it off.

"And that's not enough for you to say no?" Scott asked him. "Whatever it is you want there are other ways of getting it"

"I just want to not eat lunch alone everyday" I frowned because I'd sat with him yesterday and that was without the bite.

"If your looking for friends, you can do a lot better than Derek"

"That really hurt, Scott" I spun around hearing Derek's voice and saw him standing behind us with Isaac and Erica standing next to him. "I mean if your going to review me at least take a consensus" I frowned glaring at him. "Erica how's life been for you since we met?" Derek asked her without even looking back at her.

"Hmm…in a word transformative" Erica replied growling as her fangs extended.

"Isaac?" Derek continued to ask again without even looking back at him.

"Well I'm a little bummed about being a fugitive but other than that I'm great" Isaac replied.

"Okay hold on, this isn't exactly a fair fight" Scott protested.

"Then go home Scott" Derek replied as Isaac and Erica started coming towards us, I bent down to retrieve my dagger instinctively but remembered that I'd stopped carrying it which was a poor move on my account.

"Guys stop, don't do this" I argued moving to stand in front of Scott but Isaac grabbed my arm and tossed me aside making me stumble and fell to the ice before I looked up towards him in shock then over at Derek to see him glaring at Isaac but my attention was quickly moved to Scott as he growled bending down to punch the ice as he shifted.

"I meant fair for them" I could only watch as Scott, Erica and Isaac started fighting but Scott seemed to easily beat them until they we're both unconscious. "Don't you get it he's not doing this for you, he's just adding to his own power, okay it's all about him, he makes you feel like he's giving you some kind of gift when all he's done is turn you into a bunch of guard dogs!" Scott grabbed Erica and Isaac and slid their unconscious bodies towards Derek.

"It's true" Derek replied making me look up at him as I stood shakily and held my arm since I'd landed on it and it was still not the same since Peter broke it at the school. "It is about power" Derek started walking towards Scott flipping out his claws then cracked his neck completely shifting

"Derek no!" I shouted but he ignored me and headbutted Scott before slashing at his stomach then proceeded to punch him twice in the face and in the stomach, Scott elbowed him throwing him off for a split second but Derek repeatedly punched him in the face again then slammed him to the ice and I watched as Scott coughed up blood. "Enough!" I ran forward and grabbed Derek's arm as he planted his foot down on Scott's chest but he reacted like any predator would in fight mode and pushed me away.

I winced as I fell back on my butt against the ice and raised my hand to my cheek pulling it away to see blood and my eyes widened as I looked up at Derek to see him instantly look down in shock that he'd hurt me.

"Skye!?" he took a step towards me but I flinched back in instinctive fear, he faltered seeing this then shifted back to his human shape and frowned before walking away.

"Don't" Scott said making me turn away from Derek's retreating figure to see Boyd had jumped off the Zamboni. "You don't want to be like them"

"Your right" Boyd replied then lifted his hoodie. "I want to be like you" I saw the fresh bite wound on his side before he dropped the hoodie back in place then followed after Derek leaving me with Scott as we watched the three Beta's and my mate walk away.

"Skye are you okay?" I didn't look up because my body was going into shock. "Skye?" I felt his hands on my arms forcing my eyes to snap up to meet his. "Oh my…" he reached out and gently touched my cheek. "Come with me, I can clean it at the animal clinic" I nodded not really comprehending what he was saying but followed him back to the animal clinic and we went inside using his spare key. "Oh why arent you healing?" Scott asked himself as we walked in and I saw he was looking at the wound across his stomach.

"Because it's from an Alpha" a voice replied making us both look up to see the vet standing over a dead slashed up body.

"What the…" I said snapping out of my shock as I looked between the body and the vet.

"I think maybe we better have that talk now"

A/N: Don't hate me too much for having them fighting so much in this chapter, I promise they'll be plenty so juicy make-up scenes coming up in the next chapter or so.
