Hey everyone, AGAIN I am so sorry on how long it took me to post this chapter! I have great ideas for this story and I am sorry for how short this chapter is but I thought the ending was too perfect not to go any further. Next chapter will be longer and up much faster then it took this chapter. I have been DROWNING in homework and I know as soon as the semester ends I will be writing more and more. I only have one more month before winter break so until then I will try and post at least once to twice a week. ANd again I am so SORRY at how long it took to post.

At the break of dawn Victoria was up and getting ready for school. She made her way into the kitchen and began getting her breakfast ready. "I hope your teachers have good things to say," her dad laughed as she looked at him funny.

"What do you mean?" she asked taking a spoonful of cereal. Her dad held up a slip that said teacher parent night was that night. "You can skip it if you want," she laughed as he looked at her suspiciously.

"What are you hiding?"

"What are you hiding, daddy," she said slowly as he looked at her funny. She cursed in her mind remembering what Derek told her the night before. "I'm hiding nothing I almost have straight A's," she laughed her mistake away. Her dad nodded and she left for school hoping she wasn't going to get questioned for her slip up later. As she pulled up on campus she parked next to Stiles' jeep and walked into the school.

As she made it to her locker she sighed placing her forehead to the cold metal. "Hey," Stiles called as she jumped and looked at him slightly annoyed. "You ok?" he asked as she opened her locker and grabbed her books. She slammed the door and walked past him. "Did. I do something?" he asked confused running after her. Victoria remained silent and he grabbed her quickly turning her. "What?" he raised his voice.

"Leave me alone," she sighed wanting to cry, he could see it in her water filled eyes.

"Hey, hey, what is going on?" he asked guiding her into an empty classroom.

"I'm losing my mind, ok Stiles? I'm losing my mind, what happened with Derek, not normal. He's one of them," she whispered as he squinted trying to understand her.

"So you know?" he asked casually. She looked at Stiles her lips separating just as the first bell rang.

"I can't be late," she sighed quietly putting her bag on her shoulder brushing past him.

"You haven't been late once to English," Stiles laughed grabbing her arm.

"Stiles..." she sighed looking in his eyes. Dropping the bag she hugged him tightening her grip burying her face in his shoulder and began to cry. Slowly he put his hand on the back of her head a smile slowly appearing on his face. He didn't say a word after that he just let her weep. "I'm afraid," she cried. "I'm afraid to open up, I'm afraid of who I am. I'm afraid of my family, I'm afraid of the truth," she blurted her hands clenching his clothing.

"What do you mean?" he asked. "The truth?"

"I'm adopted," she dug her face deeper in his shoulder his eyes squinting trying to ignore the pain she gave him. "My biological brother visited me last night, my so called parents don't know, and he told me not to tell them that I know." She finally let him go and he fixed his clothing. "I have no clue what to do, I just want...to run away," she said wiping the tears away. "I'm sorry, I'm never like this," she laughed clearing her throat.

"You don't have to be scared," he smiled grabbing her hand. She shook like a chihuahua but her heart rate began to slow down when she felt the warmth from his hand. "I'm here, so is Scott and Allison," he said trying to look discrete but he wasn't. "Maybe you should go talk with your brother, he seems to know what he's talking about," Stiles suggested.

"Right now?"

"Well not this second but maybe..."

"No that's a good idea," she smiled. "Your a genius, Stiles," she laughed kissing his cheek and ran out the door leaving him awkward and alone. She ran back to her car and got in the second the second bell rang and drove off campus just missing the parking lot patrol. She watched her surroundings closely it felt strange to Victoria for this was her first time skipping classes ever. She drove into the reserve and looked at her phone seeing she had a text from Stiles.

I didn't mean this second.

She smiled and locked the phone before getting out, the fresh sent of trees and woods filled her nostrils as she walked deeper in the reserve. The more she walked in the more familiar her surrounds became, the first time she felt comfortable the more she walked. Through the trees she saw the house a small smile appearing on her face...until she got closer. The house seemed different in the day time as if it was colder and unwelcoming.

She gasped loudly as a flood of emotions and memories came rushing back. "What are you doing here?" an annoyed voice bellowed from behind her causing her to jump.

"Derek, I'm sorry. I needed to talk to you," she demanded as he walked past her.

"It's too dangerous for you to be around here, you can give your identity away to them."

"To who, no one's here," she laughed looking around as he grabbed her arm and dragged her in the house.

"What are you doing here?" he asked bitterly.

"I came to talk to you," she said slightly uncomfortable trying not to look at his chest. "I want to know what happened to me? Why can't I really remember?" she asked with pleading eyes.

"Victoria, I said not now, go to school," he said even colder. She became frustrated and stepped forward. She wanted answers and she wanted them now and she wasn't leaving without them.

"Why am I normal? Why did you chose to protect me?" Derek growled and turned from her grabbing an exposed pipe and began doing pull-ups. "Don't ignore me," she growled but he continued to. "You can't just come into my life and then ignore me." Derek jumped down and covered her mouth feeling four people present.

"Go upstairs," he said quietly and angrily shoving her to the stairs as he walked for the back of the house. "Now!" he growled as she obeyed and ran up the stairs and hid in the closest room.

"Really a dog joke?" she heard a woman sigh. "You really want to get to him try this. Too bad his sister bit it before she could have her first litter," the woman shouted as a cold shiver traveled down her spine. She heard a rather loud commotion and exited the room slowly creeping for the stairs she peaked around the corner. Seeing Derek shaking on the floor a blonde looking down at him and then she saw Him. Gasping she covered her mouth.

Her dad looked up the stairs and she hid behind the wall. "Kate, I'm going to check upstairs," he said as Victoria closed her eyes.

"Don't bother there's nothing up there, we came for what we have," the woman known as Kate answered. But Victoria's dad ignored the older woman and began walking up the stairs. Victoria quickly walked for the room she just left and climbed out the window just as a handgun fired the bullet hit the wood next to her and she jumped down and ran into the woods.

As always please review it means a lot to me. :)
