This is a good chapter to! I hope it meets everyones standards, and I promise that soon it will go into more of the plot of season 3B.

Also someone asked me why I kept Cora, honestly I just wanted to. And I think when Malia comes in, it would be good for her to have a character like Cora, a girl who gets it. (I'm also just bitter about Adelaide leaving)


Chapter 3- First Goodbye

As the sun was beginning to set on their first day together Scott stopped in front of Melody's house. Letting the short brunette slid off the bike. "Thanks again, that place has amazing coffee." She commented taking off the helmet, her hand going up to twirl the bottom of her braid.

Scott couldn't help but smile widely at her. He could see how simple life was to her, he envied the ignorance she was able to live in. Not knowing about what else is out there. He smiled softly. "Anytime, it was fun, even if my friends did damp it." He muttered putting her helmet in the holder.

"You're friends didn't dampen it. I mean, it was strange how they were acting, but they probably thought it was strange to see you there. They seemed truly surprised." She stated watching as Scott got off the bike. Curious as to what he was doing. Scott turned shrugging at her.

"Once you get used to my friends you'll realize we aren't a typical group." He stated tilting his head. "Want me to walk you up?" He asked ready to walk her to her door.

Melody nodded. "Interesting pack you are huh?" She stated shaking her head lightly.

Scott looked at her letting her comment sink in. "What do you mean?" he asked as they walked up to her front door. He was curious about her word choice.

"A pack? It's usually used for a group of the same type of species that live and hunt together, in a pack." She stated rambling slightly. She looked at him, her head tilting. "Haven't you heard that before. Calling a group of friends a pack, it's used like crew, gang, pals, amigos." She stated curious as to why he asked her about the word.

Scott felt himself relax. She had no idea. She was using it in a complete normal sentence, and the protective alpha in him jumped to conclusions. Scott laughed. "No actually I haven't. I know what it meant, I thought you were calling my friends animals." He stated letting out a fake chuckle. She had no idea, it was great.

Melody shook her head. "Totally understand that." She stated as they stopped at her front door. She stared at it. it was a dark blue matching the shutters of the white house. It was weird to her, she never lived in a white and blue house. She turned to him smiling softly. "Thank you again. I feel like I already made a friend, which is actually a new record for me, I usually have to wait until the first day of school." She commented laughing lightly.

Scott watched her. Smiling and nodding his head. "Anything I could do to help." He stated tilting his head. "Is it weird for me to say I want to see you again? And hopefully before Monday." He asked not trying to be to forward.

Melody's smile widened, she was glad he said it instead of her asking. "Yea, yea that would be great." She paused slightly. "All our stuff is coming tomorrow, so I'm going to be unpacking, and making the house into our home, but maybe Sunday?" She asked looking down at her hands.

Scott nodded eagerly. "Yea, that sounds great. Although I can help you tomorrow with the moving, I'm great with boxes." He stated knowing he didn't have anything to do.

"Okay, yea, I'll just let my dad know." She said leaning in and hugging him with a soft smile.

Scott smiled hugging her back. He let go sooner than he wanted. "So text me later, and you can tell me when you want me." He said smirking slightly. Melody nodding opening the door into her house.

"Yea I'll text you. Bye Scott." She stated turning her back, a smile on her face.

Scott smiled as the door closed. This was good, he could feel it, he enjoyed the feeling, it was new, and fresh, and it excited him.

Melody stabbed her salad as her father and Jonathan talked. She nodded waiting for the buzzer telling them all the lasagna was done. She really just wanted the lasagna, because salad just didn't fill her up like the eggplant lasagna would.

Melody looked up hearing her name. "What? Sorry I wasn't listening." She stated looking at Jonathan waiting to be caught up.

"I was just telling your father how worried I was you wouldn't like your bathroom. I did it thinking of your mother, she would have loved to have a bathroom like that, or even a room like yours when she was your age." Melody smiled nodding.

"I love it Jonathan." She stated glad to hear that her mother and she had similar tastes.

"I was also reminding your father, that Junior year was when he and your mother got together." Jon stated waggling his eyebrows. Causing Melody to cough while laughing.

"I don't know what you are trying to say-"

"I saw the boy who gave you a ride home on motorbike. He was pretty cute if I do say so." Jon stated grinning watching as Melody gasped, unsure what to her dad watched them. Jon was someone he had known since high school, his late wife's best friend, and the godfather of his daughter. It made Mr. Thurston smile hearing the banter. He raised his eyebrows looking at his daughter.

"He rides a bike? You didn't tell me this."

"I knew you wouldn't care dad. As long as we wear helmets, he knows what he is doing." She stated rolling her eyes. Melody jumped up hearing the timer. "I'll get the lasagna." She stated leaving the dining room to grab main course. She felt her blush creep up her face. She didn't need them harassing her about a boy after just meeting him herself.

Scott got back to his house right after Isaac. Both of them changed quickly before heading out together to Derek's. Everything was still weird around them. No one really knew what to do with Derek, or how he was handling losing his Alpha. Plus the twins were now included in their meetings. Which was strange, because they were also once alphas. Along with the idea that they tried to killed the pack more times than anyone could count. The twins were still allies, and they were slowly being trusted.

Scott was more lost about what was going on then he led on. Knowing that he had to try to stay strong.

"So, what's she like?" Isaac asked as they waited for Stiles. Who they promised they'd let drive them, because well, Stiles didn't want to show up late, or early.

"Who?" Scott asked knowing who Isaac was talking about. Hell Scott couldn't stop thinking about her.

"Melody? The girl you met today." He clarified shaking his head.

"Oh, yea, she's actually really, normal. She moves a lot, and she was raised by just her dad, but she, she's not a hunter, nothing supernatural, she's just a, a girl." He stated not being able to control the adoration.

Isaac looked at him. "And she's into you? Don't normal girls try to stay away? Shouldn't they sense something is wrong with you?" He said in a joking voice. What was wrong with Scott was what was wrong with Isaac, so he really couldn't judge.

"I know man, and I don't know if she's into me. She's a really outgoing person. You can tell because she moves all the time. She's comfortable with new people. Although I'm going over there tomorrow to help them with the unpacking." He stated nonchalantly.

"Cool, cool." Isaac stated looking at the blue jeeper. "I suggest you don't tell Stiles. He's been kinda weird about it today. He was trying to convince us that girls that pretty just don't fall out of the sky and want to talk to you. I don't think he realizes that you've changed a lot from that asthmatic skinny kid sophomore year." Isaac muttered as they walked towards the jeep. Calling out his to Stiles.

Scott was surprised to hear that Stiles was so hesitant, and weary about him making a new a friend. It made Scott furrowed his eyebrows as he entered the car. Choosing not to make a comment. He only said hi, and let Stiles drive, and rant about whatever he thought was going to happen with the meeting.

Melody smiled finishing off her lasagna. Jon hadn't brought up the idea of her dating once the lasagna was on the table. He moved on to talk about new ideas to put everything that would be coming the next day.

Melody tapped her hand on the table. "Oh, I told Scott he could come over tomorrow and help us move. He's supposedly really strong, so I figured he could help get the heavier stuff in. Like the China cabinets, the dining room table, and others things like that." She stated simply earning a smile from Jon.

"His name is Scott? Cute, and he's willing to help you move? Man he must be into you." Jon stated clicking his tongue. As he and Melody stood to clear the table. Mr. Thurston opening up the Times. It was how nights normally are in any house they stayed, and Jon being over didn't change that.

Melody rolled her eyes. "He's not into me. We just met. He's a nice guy, and who turns down free help?" She stated kissing her dad's cheek. "Thanks for the lasagna dad, it was great." She stated earning a soft smile from the old man.

"Anytime darling, and yes, your new friend is more than invited to help us unpack." He stated turning the page of the newspaper. "And I believe, that if you say nothing is going on, nothing is going on. You've known him for a day, and you weren't raised to be one of those girls." He commented looking at his daughter. Earning a chuckle from Jonathan.

"Alright Matt, don't put fear in the poor girl. She's not one of those girls, we all know this." He stated shaking his head as Melody and he went into the kitchen, putting the dishes into the dishwasher. "So Mel, do you like him?" He asked unable to not talk about it.

Melody rolled her eyes. "I guess." She stated her smile widening. "Okay, yea, I like him. He's nice, attractive, and seems to be a genuinely good guy." She stated blushing. "But like dad said, I just met him, I barely know him. We need to get to know each other, before anything else. Although he wants to hang out again, and it was his idea, so." She smiled, it was nice to like someone. Melody never had felt this before. She had gone dates, and had guys she liked, but none of them felt like this. The instant connection she had with Scott, Melody couldn't explain it, it was, natural.

"Well then you go get him tiger." Jonathan stated earning a loud laugh from the teen. As the conversation shifted to where they wanted everything in the house, and both of them wondering with a cup of hot tea in their hands, pointing and discussing where everything would go as Melody's dad sat at the kitchen table. It was the only night he would be, knowing that his chair would be there the next day, making the designed house into a home.

Scott, Isaac, and Stiles were the last to arrive. Which was truly typical for them when they had meetings at Derek's. Scott walked over to where Derek was standing. Isaac and Stiles both taking spots in the living room by everyone else. Scott looked around his eyes glancing at everyone in the room. Allison, Lydia, Aiden, Ethan, Danny, Cora, Deaton and of course Isaac and Stiles. He turned to Derek his brow furrowing.

"Where is Peter?" Scott asked knowing Peter wasn't one to be late for the meetings.

Derek looked over at Scott. "Not sure. I think he's scouting the area. He's trying to get a grasp on what is coming."

Scott felt it creep it in that moment. The darkness. Anytime they talked about what could be coming the darkness made itself more present in Scott's mind. He was worried what that meant, but he tried not to dwell on the fear. He knew part of him missing, but he also knew that it wouldn't change him.

Scott looked to Stiles and Allison. You could see it in all of them in moments like this. In the waiting moments. The calmness, really forced their minds, and bodies to reflect, to remember. Their souls connecting.

Scott cleared his throat refusing to go deep into the fear, the darkness. "Derek, tell me, why are all of us meeting?" He asked

Derek looked around. "Well, we won't wait for Peter." He stated simply, making Scott sit. Although Derek wasn't an Alpha, and Scott was, Derek still had a better grasp on what they needed to do, and Scott wasn't going to risk his pack just because he was stubborn.

"As you all know, it's been almost a month since, that day." Derek didn't know what to call it, none of them did. There was too much that happened for it to be called one simple thing. "Because of this, Peter and I have started to notice the shifts around Beacon, and we all have to be aware of the dangers that could be approaching." Derek paused taking a breath. "Because of these potential threats, I feel the best thing for us to do, is set a perimeter, and look outs. Peter is creating a loop, so to speak around the town that we hope can stop the potential threats from entering, but we also need to be able to watch ourselves."

"So you want us to what? Keep turns on the outskirts of town watching?" Isaac said scoffing. Earning a stare from Scott.

"Essentially yes."

Scott stood up looking at the four humans in the room. "Derek, we can't expect Lydia, Stiles Danny or even Allison to do this. They don't have hearing for it, speed, or even the power." Scott stated arching his brow.

"That's true Scott, but you are the one who said we involve the humans, and we are." Derek looked at Deaton. "Do you know anyway to protect the city, any charms, that could make us almost invisible?"

Deaton shook his head stepping forward. "The beacon is on, there is no way to turn to off. No matter how much magic I have, I can't do that Derek."

Scott looked around. "Alright, we'll check the perimeters tomorrow." He paused. "And by we I mean Isaac, Ethan, Cora, Aiden, Derek and myself." Scott looked at Allison, she didn't like not being included. "We'll go from there with Peter, we'll try to find a system, a way to make it work." He stated nodding. Knowing Derek had more to say.

"We also need to be aware of the idea that this is no longer our safe haven. We can't trust anyone outside of us, because we don't know what they are or could be." Derek said looking at all of them.

"What about our parents?" Allison stated saying only in part to piss off Derek. Scott looked at her. That's what the darkness did to her, it made her snark, and made her much harsher. Although that may have been the hunter as well.

"They already know." Dereck turned his head to Stiles. "Why aren't they here?" He asked figuring Stiles dad wanted to be a part of it.

"Dad has bigger things to worry about." Stiles stated knowing his dad wasn't there because they didn't want the police knowing more than they needed. It was dangerous for his dad to be found out that he was in fact in cahoots with the people causing a mess in the town.

Derek rolled his eyes. "Alright well then, it's not there fault when they question what the fuck is happening, because I've tried." Derek said putting his hands up.

Lydia looked up from picking her nails. "Are we done?" She asked her legs draped on Aiden's lap.

"You all need to learn how to fight." Derek stated simply looking at mainly Lydia, Stiles, and Danny. "You don't know what we are up against, and you have no fighting chance by being humans, but at least if we train you, you might be able to get out before too much damage occurs." Derek stated simply. Scott stood. Looking at everyone else in the group. The wolves all seemed to be in agreement. Allison looked slightly agitated.

"Shouldn't they know how to use weapons versus fighting? You cause more damage with a bow then you can with a fist." She stated simply almost daring Derek to challenge.

"Valid point, which is why I need you and your father, to be able to help train. We can do combat and weapons. Because being able to handle both is the most beneficial for all of us." Derek stated earning a nod from Allison as Peter strolled into the apartment.

"Thanks for joining us." Scott stated earning a soft scoff from the older wolf. Scott felt his eyes flash red. He really didn't have the patience for Peter.

Peter took a step back. Hearing a growl come from Scott, and with that one from Isaac. Such a beta. Peter lets his claws come out. "I was scouting the parameter, making sure nothing weird was coming into the town, and trying to keep us all safe." He stated forcing Isaac to back down.

Scott sat back down. Letting Derek go on about a schedule for everyone to be able to learn to fight. "One thing is you can't just fight people who are good sparring partners, you have to be able to handle combat with people bigger than you, and smaller than you." Derek stated simply earning a nod from all of them. They were all getting it. The fact that they didn't know what was coming was scarier than even having an idea of the possibility of the idea of what could happen.

Scott nodded through most it. Knowing he would only fight those who were ready. It was strange his new alpha strength, speed, mind, and mentality. Made him a bigger threat than anything he ever thought he could be. Even the twins, when in human form had nothing him. They gained power while as a wolf, but Scott, Scott always had his.

"I'm in LA darling, I can come way more often now." Jonathan stated hugging his goddaughter.

"I know, but, you're my favorite." She stated biting her cheek. Jon was one of the few people here dad would talk about her mom with. Jon made the subject of her easy, and he always knew how to make life seem simply for Melody.

Jon shook his head standing away from her. "Just, no trouble. I'd love to stay and help for tomorrow, but I have other clients, and I believe you can handle the family accents." He stated smiling and kissing her forehead. "Matt, don't ruin the house just because you think your baseball bat needs to be on the wall, because he really doesn't." Jon commented waving at his oldest friend who was in the house.

Melody watched as Jon got into the cab that would take him to the airport so he would be able to be home within 3 hours. "Bye." She stated waving watching as Jon waved as he left.

Melody smiled hugging her dad as he sat at the kitchen table, and kissing the top of his head. "Night dad." She stated leaving him and going up to her room. It was always weird the first night. The house was filled with just them, and it wa just how they worked, it was the moment when the move really hit her.

Melody changed into a pair of shorts and a sports bra. Climbing into her bed she placed her phone into its dock system. Letting music flow into her room as it charged. She let the feeling of the new sheets and the new bed consume her pushing herself deeper into the not yet hers bed.

/

Scott walked up the stairs not as exhausted as Isaac who had to show a fight with Ethan. It was tiring just to watch for Scott, he could only imagine Isaac.

"Night man, see you in the morning." Isaac stated dropping onto his bed, deciding against changing into something to sleep in.

Scott stripped dropping on his bed in just his boxers. His phone in his hand. Derek's warning about new people floating into his head. Melody wasn't dangerous, she was Melody. Scott shook his head. Texting his new friend.

Night. He texted. It was simple, but it made her know he was thinking of her. A few minutes later right before he was about to fall asleep Scott felt his phone go off. He grabbed it smiling lightly.

night. it stated coming from Melody he smiled softly throwing his phone on his bed. A smile on his face as he fell asleep.
