"So you killed her?" Stiles asked, as the trio walked down the hall.
"I don't know. I just woke up. And I was sweating like crazy, and I couldn't breathe. I've never had a dream where I woke up like that before." Scott stated.
"Really? I have, but it usually ends differently." Stiles said and Amane made a sound of disgust.
"Stiles, some things, i just do not need to know." Amane stated.
"A, I meant I've never had a dream that felt that real, and B, never give me that much
detail about you in bed again." Stiles stated.
"ok. Let me guess here-" Stiles started but was cut off by Scott.
"No, I know, you think it has something to do with me going out with Allison tomorrow, like I'm gonna lose control and rip her throat out." Scott said
"No, of course not. Yeah, that's totally it. Hey, come on, it's gonna be fine, all right? Personally, I think you're handling this pretty freaking amazingly. You know, it's not like there's a lycanthropy for beginners class you can take."
"Not a class, but maybe a teacher."
"Who, Derek?" Amane asked incredulously, and then she and Stiles slapped the back of Scotts head simultaneously
""You forgetting the part where we got him tossed in jail?" Stiles asked.
"Yeah but dragging her to the back of the bus, it felt so real" Scott stated.
"How real?" Stiles asked
"Like it actually happened." Right after Scott said that the teens walked outside to the sight of a bloody and mangled bus.
"I think it did." Stiles stated, eyes wide.
The three teens were searching the halls, Scott more frantically than the others.
"She is probably fine." Stiles stated, trying to get Scott to calm down.
"She isnt answering my texts!" Scott stated worried.
"It is probably just a coincidence" Amane stated.
"A seriously amazing coincidence." Stiles added.
"Just help me find her! Do either of you see her?" He asked, looking around
"No" They both stated, and Scott spazzed out, looking around frantically, before falling onto a locker. Amane could hear his heart beating fast. Crap. She jumped as he punched a locker, smashing it. When he had a clear head he got up and awkwardly walked backwards, noticing people staring. As he turned the corner, Amane tried to warn him about Allison but didnt get the words out in time, and she watched as they slammed into each other, sending the books sprawling.
"You scared the hell out of me." Allison stated, noticing it was Scott, as the two squatted to pick up the books.
"You're okay." Scott said, grinning like a dork.
"Once my heart starts beating again yeah." She said, then noticed Scott staring. "What?"
"I am just happy to see you." Scott stated with a smile. Just then an announcement came on.
"Attention, students, this is your principal. I know you're all wondering about the incident that occurred last night to one of our buses. While the police work to determine what happened, classes will proceed as scheduled." The principle announced and there was a collective groan in the hallway.
"Well, save me a seat at lunch?" Allison smiled before leaving. Scott turned to Amane with a dorky grin.
"Told you she was fine." Amane said, and the two turned the corner to see Jackson fiddling with his now demolished locker door. Amane grinned as Jackson looked over at them.
"What are you looking at?" He asked angrily, and Amane laughed as she and Scott turned and went to class, Amane laughing the whole way.
"But dreams arent memories." Stiles stated as they all walked to the table during lunch.
"Then it wasnt a dream. Something happened last night and i dont remember what." Scott stated,
"What makes you think Derek has all the answers?" Amane asked.
"Because during the full moon he wasn't changed. He was in total control while I was running around in the middle of the night attacking some totally innocent guy" Scott stated. Amane frowned.
"You dont know that." She stated.
"I dont not know it. I cant go out with Allison, I have to cancel." He stated.
"No, you're not cancelling, okay? You can't just cancel your entire life. We'll figure it out." Stiles said just as Lydia came up to the table, and sat down.
"Figure what out?" she asked But the three were still shocked she was there. She was Amane's friend, but still didnt sit with them at lunch.
"Homework." Amane stated, and both girls agreed.
"Why is she sitting with us?" Stiles whispered, as Danny sat next to him, the girl sat next to amane, Allison next to Scott, across from Amane, and the boy at the end, until jackson told him to move.
"How come you never ask Danny to get up?" he asked.
"Because i dont stare at his girlfriend's coinslot." He stated, and the kid moved. "So i heard it was some type of animal attack, probably a cougar."
"I heard mountain lion." Jackson stated.
"A cougar is a mountain lion." Lydia stated, but added a 'isnt it?" to the end of it at the odd look she got.
"Who cares? It was probably just some homeless guy" Jackson started but stopped when Amane threw an Apple at him, hitting him squarely in the chest, hard.
"Dont be an ass, jackson, just because you dont know him doesnt mean he should just die." She said glaring at him.
"Actually i just found out who it is." Stiles said, holding up his phone. They all watched the news report. Amane thought the guy looked familiar.
"I know this guy." Scott stated and everyone looked at him.
"You do?" Allison asked.
"Yeah, when I used to take the bus back when I lived with my dad. He was the driver. Remember Amane?" Scott asked. It finally clicked. It was the bus driver.
"Yeah, i remember." She stated. "Oh hey i have to go to the library. See you guys later." She stated before leaving. She forgot she had a study date with one of her friends.
"You're a terrible bowler." Stiles said as Amane walked up to the two boys.
"What about bowling?" Amane asked. They both looked at her.
"Scott is going bowling with Allision, Jackson, and Lydia. Oh and he told them he was a great bowler." Stiles stated. Amane looked at her brother.
"But you suck at bowling." She stated.
"I know! I'm such an idiot" Scott stated.
"God, it was like watching a car wreck. I mean, first it turned into the whole group date thing. And then out of nowhere comes that phrase." Stiles stated.
"What-" Amane started to ask but scott cut in.
"Hang out." He stated. Amane tried not to flinch at that. The words of doom.
"You don't hang out with hot girls, okay? It's like death. Once it's hanging out, you might as well be her gay best friend. You and Danny can start hanging out."
"Does that make you my gay best friend?" She asked stiles. He glared.
"How is this happening? I either killed the guy or i didnt."
"I dont think Danny likes me very much."
"I ask Allison on a date, now we are hanging out."
"Am i not attractive to gay guys?" Amane listened to the two ramble on, and decided that her brother and Stiles had issues. She walked away from the two, thankfull neither noticed.
Later Scott was draggin Amane through the forest towards Derek's house. They had been at home when he said he was going, and wanted her to go with him. Why? She had no clue. But she went anyways.
"I still dont like this." She stated.
"Please just let me do this." He said, begging her with his eyes. She sighed and nodded her head. They got to the Hale house right as a police cruiser drove away.
"I know you can hear me." Scott said as they stood outside the house. "I need your help." They both walked forward, standing infront of the door.
"Hmmm, maybe he is not here. lets just go ho-" She stopped when the door opened and Derek stepped out.
"Okay. I know I was part of you getting arrested and that we basically announced you being here to the hunters. I also don't know what happened to your sister. But I think I did
something last night. I had a dream about– someone. But someone else got hurt. And it turns
out that part of the dream might have actually happened" Smooth Scott. Real smooth.
"You think you attacked the driver." Derek stated simply. How in the hell did he managed to understand that mumbo jumbo scott just spilled out.
"Did you see what i did?" Scott asked.
"No."
"Can you at least tell me the truth? Am i going to hurt someone?"
"Yes."
"Could i kill somebody?"
"Yes."
"Am i going to kill somebody?"
"Probably." Scott went into a mini panic mode. And Amane was pissed off at Derek and his stupid one word answers. She put a hand on Scotts shoulder in comfort, still glaring at Derek. Who only glanced at her for a second.
"Look, I can show you how to remember. I can show you how to control the shift, even on a full moon. But it's not gonna come for free." As soon as he stated that Amane felt uneasy - er.
"What do you want?"
"Scott, no." Amane stated. She did not want her brother to have anything to do with Derek Hale. Derek glared at her.
"This has nothing to do with you." Derek stated. Scott cut in before Amane could.
"It has everything to do with her. She was bit too. Now what do you want?" Scott asked. Derek stared at Amane for a moment, and she felt uneasy.
"You will find out. But first I am going to give you what you want. Go back to the bus. Go inside. Let your senses - sight, smell, touch- let them remember for you." Derek said, never taking his eyes off of Amane.
"Thats it? just go back?" Scott asked.
"Do you want to know what happened?" Derek asked, still looking at Amane, who was feeling the urge to punch Derek. He was creeping her out.
"I just want to know if i hurt him." Scott stated.
"No. You want to know if you will hurt her." Derek stated finally looking at Scott, before going inside.
Amane refused to go help her brother go back onto the bus. She stayed home and decided to bake instead. She was going to bake a cake but realised they were out of eggs. She sighed, and but on her heels before walking out the door, heading to the closest place to get eggs, the gas station.
On her walk she got a message from Stiles telling her that Scott didnt kill the guy, and that they would fill her in later. Scott had went out on his date while Stiles went home. Amane sent a message saying ok, before continuing the walk. She had the odd feeling that she was being watched, and felt uneasy. She walked faster, and gave a slight sigh of releif when she got there. She walked into the gas station, not noticing a black camaro pull in
Inside she got the eggs, and a pack of gum, and a bag of chips. She chatted idly with Dave, the cashier before walking out, right into a scene where Allison's dad, Chris, as he insisted she called him (Whom she had met on the several sleepovers she had with Allison) was walking to his car while a man was about to bust Dereks window. He froze when he saw her.
"Were you seriously about to break his window?" She asked, and the guy looked guilty. She looked at Derek, then at Mr. Argent, and shrugged. "Proceed." She stated before turning to leave. She could feel Derek's glare burning into her back. Hmph. That asshole deserved it.
"Amane. What are you doing out so late? Arent you aware there is a curfew?" Allison's dad asked, right as Amane heard glass shattering. She turned to him with a smile. She also noticed Derek's face had darkened when Mr. Argent had said her name.
"Yes. I am, but we were out of eggs, and i promised my mom i would bake her a cake, and some brownies." She stated, holding up the eggs.
"Well then, i will give you a ride home. Its not safe to be walking." He stated and Amane nodded.
"Alright, thank you Chris." She stated, walking over to his car. She swore she saw Derek's eyes flash as she got in. And she could tell Mr. Argent had noticed as well. She watched him give Derek one last glance before getting in, and driving away.
"Do you know Derek Hale?" He asked, breaking the silence.
"I do. Unfortunately. He gave me and Allison a ride home from the party the other night. Something i never want to do again. That guy gives me the creeps." She stated, and noticed him smile.
"Good. Stay away from him. He is dangerous." He stated.
"I know. Sheriff Stilinski told me he had been arrested for suspected murder. Wouldn't doubt it. He is definitely creepy enough to be a serial killer." She said, lying with ease. Mr. Argent smiled as they pulled up to her house.
"You have good instincts. Goodnight, Amane." He stated, as she got out of the car.
"Good night. And thanks for the ride!" She said before heading indoors, and baking those sweets.
Later her mom got home. And she was delighted by the baked sweets.
"You are the best child ever. Baking me sweets, and not trying to get the car." She stated, causing Amane to laugh. They both went upstairs to get changed. "Oh Scott still went out." She stated with a small smile, before running into her room and going to bed, not even bothering to get out of bed when her mom attacked Stiles with a bat.
She did, however, get up when Scott dragged her out of bed, ranting about how Derek was the one who bit them and killed the driver and his sister. He dragged her, running through the woods, to the old Hale house. She didnt like this idea. Nor the fact that she was in her pijamas, aka a tight tanktop, no bra and some really short shorts. Thankfully the tanktop had a built in bra.
"Derek! I know you're here! I know what you did!" He shouted as they entered the house. Damn this place was creepy. Why did he insist on bringing her? They both looked around trying to find him.
"I didnt do anything." They both heard his voice. It was distant and gave Amane the creeps.
"You killed him!" Scott stated, as he went to the stairs.
"Scott it dont think -" She started but was cut off by Derek's voice.
"He died." Scott and Amane slowly walked up the stairs, glancing around.
"Like your sister died?" Scott asked as they continued up the stairs.
"My sister was missing. I came here looking for her." Derek's voice came again.
"You found her." Amane stated, with a slight snort.
"I found her in pieces! Being used as bait to catch me!"
"I think you killed them both. And i am going to tell everyone, starting with the Sheriff." Scott stated, as they got to the top of the stairs, and looked around. Amane looked towards her brother just in time to see Derek. Scott turned, only to be thrown down the stairs.
"SCOTT!" Amane screamed, as she watched her brother tumble down the stairs in horror. She immediately went to run after him, but Derek grabbed her arm and threw her into the wall. Hard. She heard a roar, and got up just in time to see Derek jump down the stairs in one leap. She watched as her wolfed out brother threw Derek through the wall.
She went to go down the stairs but stopped and looked at her arm. It was bleeding. great. She then heard another roar, and looked to see her brother enter the hole he created. She walked down the stairs, listening to thuds and growls, wondering if she should really interfere. She stood in the hole just to see a wolfed out Derek leap across a table and kick her brother in the chest, sending them flying.
He went to kick him again, but Scott moved, and derek flipped off the wall. Scott grabbed what looked to be a paddle, and hit derek, sending him flying. That had to hurt. Scott went to hit him again, but Derek rolled out of the way, and hit Scotts ankle, flipping him. He then picked Scott up and slammed him back into the ground several times. Scott tried to get up using a crate, but Derek kicked him, flipping Scott over the create.
"Ok that is enough-" She said just as Scott got back up and growled, they both ignored her, and Scott lept and Derek, who hit him in the stomach. Hard. Scott fell to the ground, human. Amane ran over to him, and knelt beside him. She could hear Derek changing. Scott used his sister to try to get up, and she brought him over to the couch. Derek looked at them.
"I didnt kill him. None of us did. Its not your fault, nor mine." He stated. He was talking to both of them.
"Yeah this wolfy business is Scotts not mine, so dont be talking as if i am a part of it." Amane said with a glare.
"This? This is all your fault. You ruined my life!" Scott stated walking to derek.
"No i didnt." Derek stated.
"You're the one who bit us." Scott stated.
"No im not." He stated.
"What?" Both Scott and Amane asked at the same time.
"I'm not the one that but you!" Derek stated. Scott touched his chest, and seemed to be having a flash back, he breathed heavily, before sitting on the couch next to his sister.
"There's another." Scott stated. Oh god, just what they needed.
"It's called an Alpha. It's the most dangerous of our kind. You and I, we're betas. This thing is more powerful, more animal than either of us. My sister came here looking for him. Now I'm trying to find him. But I don't think I can do it without you, either of you." He said that last part, glancing at Amane.
"Why us?" Scott asked.
"Because he is the one that bit you. You are part of his pack. Its you. You are the ones he wants."
"No. He may have bit me but i guarantee you I -" Amane was cut off by Derek throwing something at her. She caught it. It was a peice of wood.
"That. Was wolf reflexes. A human couldn't have caught that. You just haven't changed." Derek stated. Amane scowled at him.
