Hi! So I changed a bit in the last chapter so you can go back and read it if you want. it's not too much of a change but I thought it was a little too rushed so I wanted to add a little bit to it.

Anyway I hope you enjoy this chapter!

~01~

After Scott had tried to maul us to death (Thank you Derek for making me go check on them) I quickly exited the locker room, trying to avoid both his and Stiles questions I knew were coming. (Again thank you Derek)

"Lux!" His familiar voice rang out as I quickly slipped into our Economics class "L-" he cut himself as he noticed the full classroom before sending me a narrow-eyed look before taking his seat in front of me.

Allison sent me a questioning look from beside me but I just sent her a shrug feigning in difference. If only she knew.

The rest of the lesson was pretty boring, Scott had obviously gone home after his little episode. Jackson was gone too, apparently Scott had separated his shoulder.

I was able to avoid Stiles for the rest of the day, it was easier in the classes we didn't have together, but it seemed luck wasn't on my side considering we had about 90% of the same ones. In those classes I would rush out before he could stop me and at lunch I sat with Lydia, Allison and all of Lydia's followers.

My luck seemed to run out at the end of the day though. I thought I was on the home stretch, I could see Allison waiting for me by her car – she was giving me a lift home – but I knew it was too good to be true when I felt a large hand wrap around the crook of my arm, pulling me to a stop.

I sent him a look, pulling my arm out of his but he held onto it tight, but not tight enough to hurt me "Allison's waiting for me-" but he just shook his head pulling me towards his banged up jeep.

"No way, you're coming with me. You can text Allison in the car."

I sighed in defeat, turning to catch Allison's confused look, sending her a shrug. Once we were seated in the car I pulled my phone out of the back pocket of my maroon shorts, a text lighting up the screen.

Hey, are you okay? I thought I was dropping you home today? – Allison

I slumped back into my seat, glaring at Stiles slightly out of the corner of my eye.

Yeah, sorry. Stiles kind of kidnapped me, I'll text you later? – Lux

My phone vibrated only a few seconds later.

Stiles, huh? Was he 'checking to see if you were okay' again? ;) –Allison

I internally groaned as I read her message. Ever since Stiles had tracked me down at the Argents she has had this insane idea that Stiles had a crush on me.

Ignoring her reply, I put my phone back in my pocket before turning to look at Stiles. "Are you going to tell me where we're going?"

He shot me look "I think I should be asking you the questions." I rolled my eyes but stayed quiet, letting him continue. "How do you know about Scott? – wait no! How do you even know about werewolves in first place?"

I just shrugged "Well to the first one, it was kinda obvious when he totally wolfed out in the locker room. And the second… that's a long story."

Stiles scoffed "A- a long story? Oh hell no, I don't care if you have to translate it from Hebrew!" But I had stopped listening, my eyes focusing on a blurred shape standing in the middle of the road.

No. Not here. Not now, please.

"Stiles-"

But he cut me off "No, Lux, I don't care! You're going to tell me what the hell-"

"Stiles!" I screamed as the figure came closer. "Stop the car!"

He sent me a shocked look "Stop- what?"

I turned, sending him a fierce look "Stop the car, right now!"

Stiles slammed his foot on the breaks and I pushed myself out of the car door before it had even come to a full stop. The person that was in the middle of the road was only a few feet away from the powder blue jeep. He only looked to be 8 years old. He was dressed head to toe in a cute pair of overalls and a striped long sleeve shirt. But what my eyes were drawn to was the set of razor sharp teeth. Wendigo.

His eyes were hollow as he looked up at me in confusion. "Where am I? Why am I here?" My heart broke at his words.

These were the worst. The ones that didn't know what had happened. Most of the time it would be quick, they'd know what to do. They would just grab my arm and we wouldn't say a word. But he was only a child. No child should know what happens when you die.

I didn't even notice Stiles step out of the jeep moving around to the front. I knew all he would be able to see is me talking to thin air but I didn't care. This was my job. This is what I was born to do.

I sent the small boy a sweet smile "Hey, sweetie. Don't worry. I'm going to help you."

His eyes welled up with tears "Where is my mummy? My tummy hurts."

I blinked the tears out of my eyes as a dark red stain started to appear on the front of his light blue overalls. He was starting to remember. I had to do this fast "I'm going to take you to her okay? All you have to do is grab my hand." I held my hand out to him as he looked up at me through glossy eyes "All you have to do is take my hand and the pain will go away."

The boy nodded slightly grabbing my hand lightly and the familiar stinging entered my body, causing me to wince. I didn't know the boy so the pain was minimal, but the pain of an innocent life lost was always greater.

I lifted myself off the ground, not looking at Stiles as I moved back into the passenger side of the jeep. Stiles just stood there for a moment before joining me. He turned the engine back on, continuing down the street.

After a moment of silence he spoke again "Are you going to tell me what the hell just happened?"

I was looking down at my hands, fiddling with one of my rings but I looked up at him when I spoke "A lot had changed since I last saw you guys."

Stiles nodded "No really I hadn't noticed!" he paused for a moment, obviously waiting for me to reply but I stayed silent. I didn't want it to happen like this, but I can't control when someone finds me. "Well, are you going to enlighten me?"

I sighed "I'll tell you when we see Scott." He groaned slightly "Tomorrow at school, okay?"

He sent me a glare but nodded. "Tomorrow."

~01~

Tomorrow came way too quickly. I had spent the night sitting in front of my mirror trying to rehearse what I was going to say to them, but every way sounded more ridiculous than the last.

I ended up getting a lift to school with Allison. As soon as I got into the car she sent me a devilish look. Oh god. "So what happened with Stiles?"

I rolled my eyes "Nothing, he just needed some help with Econ."

"Sure, sure."

I huffed leaning back into the leather seated "What about you and Scott? Did you give him a second chance?"

She nodded and I internally sighed in relief as we moved away from the topic of Stiles. Stiles and I as a we? ...that was just too weird to comprehend. "Yeah, he didn't really tell me what was going on at the party but I'm going to let him make it up to me."

"Well, the Scott McCall I remember was always a bit strange but he's a good guy." I knew I shouldn't encourage her to be with him, considering the whole werewolf thing, but I knew what it was like to have your whole world turned upside down because the supernatural. All you wanted was some normalcy.

When we pulled into the car park I could see Stiles and Scott standing near the doors and I groaned to myself. I was hoping I would have at least a few classes before they cornered me. I unbuckled by seatbelt turning to Allison who was looking at the two teens in confusion "I'll see you in Econ, okay?" I quickly exited the car before she could reply, trying to integrate myself into the crowd so that they wouldn't see me walk past, but I knew that it was in vain as they moved to walk on either side of me.

"Hey, guys! Did you study for the quiz in chemistry? I didn't really get a chance to so I think I'm gonna go to the library and-" but they just grabbed one of my arms each, guiding me into one of the teachers offices. I wasn't sure which one it was, I still didn't know everyone in this school yet.

They both turned with their arms crossed over their chest. Oh wow. I pulled myself up onto the desk, playing with the rings on my fingers. "So…"

"You said you were going to tell me the truth when Scott was here tomorrow. Well it's tomorrow… today." I raised my eyebrows at his tumble of words but she just glared at me "You know what I mean."

I sighed. "You're not going to believe me."

"I just found out that I grow claws and fangs and my eyes glow yellow. My mind has been opened to a lot." Scott replied, moving to sit on one side of me while Stiles took the chair.

I swallowed deeply, looking back up at Scott "You're not the first werewolf I've met, but most of them have been dead when I saw them." They both sent me a look of confusion but I continued before they could reply. "It started not long after my mum died… I saw her – I thought I was dreaming-"

Stiles eyes were wide as he interrupted me "Wait your mum is still alive?"

I sent him a glare "No, she not. She grabbed me and I felt like I was on fire or something, I saw all of our memories… it was the worst experience of my life. I thought it was just a hallucination or something but then it happened again, but this time it was a stranger. A man with glowing eyes."

"A werewolf?" Scott asked.

I nodded "He did the same thing, he grabbed me but there was no flashes and less pain. I thought I was going insane but it kept happening… sometimes werewolves, sometimes other…things."

"Like other supernatural things?" Stiles stared at me with an open mouth. "There's others besides werewolves."

"Yeah, but I don't really recognize most of them. Some of them look human."

"How did you realize some were werewolves then?" Scott questioned.

I swallowed a lump in my throat. Derek had told me about how he had confronted Scott about the lacrosse game and I knew Scott wasn't his biggest fan right now. "…I met one. One that was alive I mean. He recognized my abilities and was able to tell me basically everything." I looked up catching Stiles eye as he sent me a small smile of reassurance. "Apparently I'm what they call an Anchor. The Anchor."

"Anchor? Anchor to what?" Scott furrowed his eyebrows.

"To death." Stiles answered and I looked at him surprised as he looked up at me "Supernatural creatures come to you when they die don't they?"

I nodded "When the supernatural was created they needed a balance, they couldn't send them to the same place as humans, so they created one. They call it the Other Side. A human was sacrificed as the one to stand between both worlds, a gateway to cross through in death. My mother was the Anchor and when she died she passed it on to me. That's why I saw her that night."

Stiles let out a breathy laugh. "Holy shit,"

~01~

After I had finished basically recounting the last 4 years of my life, Stiles and I sent Scott to Finstock's office to tell him he couldn't play.

"So…" Stiles spoke up as we walked down the hall to Econ. "Do you have any cool powers? Like how Scott can hear stuff and has super strength?"

I rolled my eyes at him "No, other than feeling the pain of someone's death I'm basically human."

With that I quickly moved into the classroom but I swear I heard him mumble to himself 'Smooth one, Stiles."

God this boy was crazy.

~01~

"So are we studying together tonight?" It was a few periods later and I was at my locker with Lydia talking to me a mile a minute. I didn't even have a chance to reply before she continued "I have to go get Jackson from the hospital at like eight but you can come with me and then we can all go get dinner together! I'll get Jackson to bring one of his lacrosse friends and it can be a double date!"

Oh god please no. I quickly closed my locker turning to her "I don't think that's such a good idea."

She pouted at me "Why not? Do you already have your eye on a guy?"

I shook my head "No-"

"Then it's fine! Come on, Lux. You've been here for like a week now and you're totally hot, it's just one date." As Lydia continued her rant about my love life I caught Stiles' eye over her shoulder as he waved frantically at me. Dear god.

"-You don't want all the guys here to think you're a prude or something, do you? Then no one will ask you out!"

"Okay!" I interrupted her.

A sly smile fell onto her face "Okay what?"

I rolled my eyes "Okay I'll go on a double date with you, but please make it someone that's actually decent or even just doesn't make me want to gouge my eyes out with a spoon. I have to go but I'll meet you after school."

I quickly moved towards Stiles, Scott beside him now as they peered around the corner suspiciously. "What are you guys doing?"

Stiles jumped slightly at the sound of my voice but quickly slapped a hand over my mouth "Shh! He's listening to them!" he pointed towards a group of people talking. The principal was there with some cops, one of them I recognized as Stiles' father.

"There's a curfew because of the body." Scott finally said. Laura's body I thought to myself, a heavy feeling settling in my stomach.

Stiles scoffed "Unbelievable! My dad is looking after a stupid animal whereas the damn real killer can hanging out, doing whatever he wants." The real killer? They didn't think-

"You can't exactly tell your dad the truth about Derek." They did. This was not good.

"I can do something..." A look came across his face as if he had an idea.

"Like what?" I asked cautiously. I didn't know if I really wanted to know the answer.

Stiles sent me a smug smile "Find the other half of the body." I'm out. I'm so out.

Scott's eyes widened "Are you kidding?"

Stiles just grins at us before leaving. Oh god he so wasn't kidding.
