Chapter 3: ~Full Moon Fever~

Derek's eyes opened slowly. He was staring up at a white ceiling. It was still dark outside, the streetlight shining in the nearby window. He felt the soft cushioning of what he thought was a pillow. When he looked over though, he realized he was laying in Crystal's lap. He rubbed his throbbing head as he sat up, his eyes never once leaving her. "Crystal..." before she had the second to react he pulled her into him into a tight embrace. This made her jump for a moment, her body tensing, but soon she relaxed, allowing him to hold her close. "I thought I told you to get out of there. You could have been killed." he murmured into her hair. "I couldn't just leave you there to die. So I got you to your car, drove you here and took care of you." she answered, running her fingers through his cropped hair. "The pack has to stick together." she said, moving herself so he could look into her eyes to show how serious she was about that. Derek looked deep into her eyes for a moment, taking in their beauty. Again, she could hear his heart rate rise, and before she knew it, his lips were pressed against hers, kissing her with passion. Crystal kissed back hungrily, her lips melding perfectly with his soft ones. After about a minute or two, he pulled away, leaving her lips tingling. "Derek...I..." she stammered, not knowing the words to explain the feeling. "Don't speak. I know" he chuckled, laying back down in her lap. "You need to rest. You aren't fully healed yet." she replied, playing with his hair a little. Derek stifled a yawn, and felt the drowsiness. "Alright, I'll rest. Someone needs to tell Scott where I am though." he yawned again, his eyes opening and closing. "I'll do it, you just rest. Besides, it's the full moon tonight, it's better you stay inside." Crystal gently slid from underneath him, giving his hair a stroke, before heading to the door. "Thank you, be careful." His voice called out to her as he drifted off to sleep.

Crystal arrived at Scott's house in record time. She'd found it by sensing him talking to his mother. Sneaking around back, she climbed up and in to his bedroom through the window. "Scott?" she called out, looking around the room. As her eyes hit the window, she froze. The full moon was shining through it, making her werewolf side want to come through. Her heart rate rose and a great strength emanated inside her. Her eyes scanned to the left, landing on Scott sitting in a nearby chair. "What do you want?" he growled at her, his eyes angry. "I'll tell you in a minute, but first, what's wrong?" she sat down on the floor beside him. Scott explained that he was in love with a hunter's daughter, Allison, and that she dumped him. "It feels like I'm being punched in the gut..." he muttered, a frown plastered on his face. "Well sooner or later it would have gone south. I mean she's going to end up a hunter. You need to find someone who won't shoot at you because of what you are." she said with a smile. Scott chuckled at that comment, and stood up from his seat. Crystal followed and stood up herself, trying to stop her legs from falling asleep. "You're right. I need someone strong. Someone who won't judge me for being a werewolf. Someone who understands me." As he spoke each sentence he took a step forward towards her as she stepped back. "Yeah exactly." her voice faltered a little as she took another step back, her back pinned against the wall. "I need someone like you Crystal." Scott leaned forward, placing a hand on the wall behind her, his lips inches from hers. "Um..well I don't know about..." Before she could finish her sentence, Scott had pinned her against the wall by her wrists, his lips pressed firmly against hers, kissing her roughly. With the full moon shining down on her, a pleasure shot through her body. Her animalistic side kicked in, and she embraced his advance. A smile stretched across her lips as she kissed back, feeling that hot passion between them. Scott then lifted her up by her butt, carrying her over to his bed. Tossing her on it with force, he tugged her hoodie and shirt off, and she grabbed him by the collar, pulling his lips back down to meet hers. That only made him want more and he hitched her legs around his waist and pulled her closer, his tongue begging for entrance into her mouth. She obliged, theirs lips parting only to let his shirt pass through, it being tossed across the room. His hands wandered along the contours of her body, feeling her soft skin. His touch made her shiver in a good way. The moon dipped down beneath the trees, and Crystal froze, it sinking in as to what she was doing. "Scott wait..." she muttered, trying to pull away from him. This was to no avail, he just kept pulling her back and kissing her. "I can't do this." she said a little louder, shoving him off of her and getting up, sliding her tops back on. "Why can't you do this? I want you." Scott got up, walking over to her, and pulling her into a hug. "It just doesn't feel right. I don't know if I'm feeling my feelings or feeling this way because of the full moon. I don't know how I feel right now" she admitted as she pulled away from him, heading over and opening the window. "I came over to tell you Derek is at my house. I'm taking care of him right now." she started to climb down from the window. "Crystal wait don't go." Scott's voice pleaded as he grabbed her hand to stop her. She pulled her hand from his forcefully, and gave him a serious look. "No, I'll see you later Scott. I have to go." she said, giving him one last look and dropping from his window, heading back to her own home. As she walked, her mind spun in thought. She'd just kissed two different guys in one night. She didn't know how to feel. Was it her real feelings, or feelings brought on by the full moon? Right now, she needed time to herself to think. Thankfully, when she entered her home, it was empty. At this point she had so much going in her mind that it didn't sink in that Derek wasn't there, where he should be resting. laying down on the couch she stretched out, trying to figure everything out.

Derek ran through the forest top speed. He was tracking Scott. He finally caught up with him in a parking lot. He was on top of a car with Allison and Jackson in it, about to attack them. Speeding over, he knocked him off the car, and they had a rolling fight along the nearby grass. After a while, Scott had calmed down a bit, Derek holding him down to the ground. Derek's fist came crashing down on Scott's jaw, punching him hard. Before Scott could say anything at all, Derek looked down at him with angry eyes. "That's for making out with Crystal." he growled, rage flickering in his now ice blue eyes. Scott froze. "Wait...how did you..." he stammered, trying to figure out how he knew about that. "I was worried about her, it being the full moon and all, so I went to your place to check on her. I saw you two through your window." his voice was gruff as he almost spat the words out. Picking Scott up by the shirt he dragged him back to his house. Tossing him halfway across the room, Derek went to the window. "If you know what's good for you, you'll leave her alone." his voice was threatening as he went back to the window, his hand still clawed. "You can't make me not see her!" Scott yelled, he himself getting angry "Just watch me." Derek growled back, leaping from the window, and heading back to Crystal's house.
