A few hours later Stiles decided to go grocery shopping, it was better than moping around the house. Sure he had acted childish but Derek didn't have to be such a sour wolf. He grabbed his keys and headed out the door. Also not to mention Derek grabbed half of the contents of the fridge for the trip.

Mora came with on the shopping adventure. She wouldn't let Stiles leave her without howling loud enough that he heard it from the jeep when he started the engine. She sat in the passenger seat, thumping get tail against the door as Stiles sat across from her in the parking lot of the store.

"Look, you can't come in with me. People have this thing with dogs were they absolutely love them and share food with them all the time at home. But, a grocery store is off limits. So you need to stay in here and when I say stay I mean stay. Don't wander, got it?" Stiles looked at the face of the dog, she just had a smile on her snout.

Stiles rolled Mora's window down about six inches and then opened his door and got out. He walked to the store and took a glance back at Mora she was watching him, looking content in the car.

After paying with the card Derek told him to use for the pack Stiles made his way outside. He didn't see Mora in the window, but he figured she might've settled in and was sleeping. He put the small mountain of food in the back of the jeep and jumped in the front expecting a happy puppy to jump up and lick him.

Nothing happened. He looked over to where she should be and towards the back thinking the call of food may have over taken her. But she was nowhere in the car.

Panic set in and Stiles threw open his car door. Closing it, he took off down the street looking all around and calling for the dog.

After a half hour of running around he made it to the park. Defeated he slumped onto a bench, putting his head between his hands as he held back the urge to cry.

He may have only had the dog for a day but, she was a good fit in his life. She was spunky and troublesome, she was essentially his mini me.

He heard squeals of laughter coming from behind him, he thought it funny. The universe was using the child's laughter to mock him. The child continued to laugh, it sounded as if she were playing.

"Where the hell did this dog come from?" A young woman's voice asked.

"I don't know, but Brooke? Can we please keep her? She's so much fun and fluffy. She's even fluffier than Candance was." The child's voice responded.

Stiles glanced back, and hope against hope, there was Mora running and playing with the small child. Stiles jumped up and started to run towards the two girls and his dog.

"No we can't keep her we don't even know who's she is Pamplemousse. We need to look for her-"

"She's mine! Mora May come here!" Stiles shouted coming up to the girls. 'Mora May? Where the hell did that come from?'

Stiles didn't know where he got the May but it seemed to work the dog came up to him wagging her tail in apology, Stiles bent to the dog and hugged her.

"Don't you do that again. I was really worried. I thought you took off you silly animal," Stiles chided. Mora licked his face weakly asking for forgiveness.

"She's your puppy? Can I please come play with her sometime? She's so friendly and nice and..."

"Pamplemousse, this man may not want you to play with his dog."

"No, no it's fine. I was just worried I got her yesterday and she wasn't in the car when I got back. You can play with her anytime. Pamplemousse, was it?"

"Yes, that's my name and this is Brooke! We're traveling through town and were relaxing in the park when your big dog came running up and started to play with me." The young girl was all over the place while she talked, ending with giving Stiles a hug. Looking up at Stiles she asked, "Do you really mean I can play with her if we stay in town?"

"Yes..." Surprised by the hug Stiles had his hands in the air. Not sure where to put them. He settled with just dropping them to his sides as Brooke walked up to them, pulling Pamplemousse back.

Getting a better look at the girls Stiles saw Brooke was a girl of about twenty with dyed red hair and piercings littering her face. Skinny as a twig with pale skin and a kind face. Pamplemousse was about ten if he had to guess. She had light brown hair down to her waist and a smile that could light up the room.

"Pamplemousse we don't hug unless we know they want one. Sorry, she's very friendly and young. She doesn't know much about proper etiquette."

"It's fine. So are you two sisters or something?"

"Something like that." The two girls shared a look and smiled up at Stiles. The wind suddenly shifted and went from blowing in Stiles' face to blowing on his back, towards the girls. Brooke sniffed, her eyes suddenly widening; she looked at Pamplemousse and Pamplemousse back at her. They both nodded at each other and started backing away.

"Well, it was great to meet you but, we really should be going now." Brooke said quickly.

"Ah, yeah. Hey if you need anything come find me. I live in the Hale house, or if you can't find me go to my dad. He's the sheriff."

The two girls walked off, Pamplemousse turned around giving a final wave. Stiles called to Mora and walked back to the jeep, heading home for the day.

Sunday night, two days after Derek stormed off with the pack, Stiles was in the kitchen making a meal of mac and cheese. Not the healthiest but Stiles didn't care. Allison had gone to a friends house after the pack took off, so it was just Stiles and Mora. He figured there's was no point in really cooking just for himself.

He heard a knock at the door and was wondering who would be here at eight p.m. If it were the pack they just would have come in. His dad would have called, he just couldn't think of anyone.

The knocking became more frantic and Stiles increased his pace, Mora following closely behind. He opened the door only to find a disheveled Brooke and Pamplemousse.

"Stiles! Please, you have to help us!"

"What is it? What's wrong?"

"Your alpha's trying to kill us!"
