"What kind of movie am I supposed to be getting?" I asked into my phone as I was driving. I heard Derek laugh which brought a smile onto my face. "Anything but romance." He said. I giggled. "Why not? I love romance movies." I could see him shaking his head. "No Stasia. Get a horror or something to where I can protect you from all those big bad monsters out in the dark." I laughed driving into an empty space next to Lydia's car in the video store's parking lot. "I can protect myself than-" I screamed cutting myself off as the front window to the video store shattered by a dark shadow. I could hear Derek's voice yelling at me through the speaker in my phone.

I got out of my car and ran over to Lydia's. I pulled the door open. "Are you okay?" I asked checking her over for any sight of a wound. "Jackson's inside." I looked towards the video store. "Call the police." I told her standing up and running inside the store. Jackson was laying under the knocked over shelves. I ran over to him and lifted up the shelf a tiny bit. Hey, I'm not that strong okay?

Jackson wiggled his way out from under the shelf. I let the shelf go once he was all the way out and panted leaning over. "Thanks." He whispered. I nodded and helped him stand up. "Lydia is calling the police. They should be here soon." We walked out of the store and stood by Lydia who was leaning against her car.

A few minutes later, police cars and an ambulance pulled up. Lydia and Jackson were being checked out after I told them that I just pulled up when everything happened. I looked over hearing Mr. Stilinski's voice. I smiled slightly and waved to Stiles who was in the cop car. "Why the hell can't I just go home? I'm fine." Jackson asked Sheriff Stilinski. "I hear ya, but the EMT says you hit your head pretty hard. They just wanna make sure you don't have a concussion." He told Jackson. He shook his head. "What part of 'I'm fine' are you having a problem grasping? Okay, I wanna go home." Jackson said.

The sheriff nodded. "And I understand that." He told Jackson calmly. "No, you don't understand, which kind of blows my mind, since it should be a pretty basic concept to grasp for a minimum-wage rent-a-cop like you! Okay, now, I wanna go home!" Jackson yelled in the sheriff's face. I was getting angry. I turned Jackson around and punched him in the face. I heard a crack and he held onto his nose. "What the hell, you bitch?!" He screamed at me. "Don't talk to the sheriff like that again before I break more bones in your body." I told him holding my hand. The EMT looked down at my hand. "Nothing's broken. Just gonna bruise. Put ice on it when you get home." I nodded.

"Oh, whoa, is that a dead body?" I heard Stiles' voice. I turned to see people wheeling out a stretcher with someone on it under a white sheet. I sighed and walked over to my car. I was opening my door when someone touched my back. I jumped and turned around. I pounced on Derek hugging him tightly. "Are you okay? I rushed over here after you screamed." He said holding onto me. I nodded and pulled away sighing. "I'm fine. I think it was the Alpha. I just pulled up when he jumped out of the window."

I looked behind Derek seeing Scott. I looked up at him in confusion. "What's going on?" I asked. "Teaching Scott." Derek whispered to me. I nodded. "Well get in. We're still having our date." I told him smirking. I got into the driver side of the car. Scott sat in the back and Derek got into the front. I drove off to Derek's house. "Wait, you're dating Derek?" Scott asked in shock. I nodded. "Yeah, I am. And I really don't care what you or Stiles thinks about it."

The rest of the car ride was quiet. It was a bit awkward as well. Once we got to the house, Derek and I walked inside holding hands. We were only a couple of steps on the stairs when Scott talked making us turn around. "You know, I have a life, too." I smirked and shook my head. "No, you don't." I told him. "Yes, I do! I don't care what you say about him making me his pet or…"

Derek sighed. "Part of his pack." I walked up another step so I could lean up against Derek's back staring down at Scott over his shoulder. Scott shrugged. "Whatever. I have homework to do." I held my hand up. "So do I actually." He rolled his eyes. "I have to go to a parent/teacher conference tomorrow because I'm failing chemistry." I smirked. "You should learn to study then." I told him.

"You wanna do homework? Or do you wanna not die?" Derek asked him. Scott sighed. "You have less than a week until the full moon. You don't kill with him, he kills you." Scott looked up at us. "Okay, seriously, who made up these rules?" I giggled. "It's a rite of passage into his pack."Derek told him ignoring me. "You know what else is a rite of passage? Graduating from high school! An-and you don't have to kill anyone to do it!"

Derek sighed. "Why can't you just find him yourself? Why can't you just sniff him out when he's human?" Scott asked. "Because his human scent could be entirely different. It has to be you. You have a connection with him, a link that you can't understand. If I can teach you to control your abilities, you can find him." Derek explained to Scott. "So if I help you, you can stop him?" Scott asked. "Not alone. We're stronger in numbers. A pack makes the individual more powerful."

"How am I supposed to help if I have no idea what I'm doing?" Scott asked. I sighed. "Because he's gonna teach you Scott. He's been telling you that since day one but you decided to not listen and just go accusing him of things." They both stared at me. "What? It's true." I told them shrugging. "Do you remember what happened that first night you were shot in the arm? Right after you were hit?"Derek asked. "What? You were shot?" I asked Scott in shock. "Yeah, I changed back."

Derek nodded. "And when you were hit by his car, same thing, right?" He asked walking down to stand in front of Scott. Scott nodded. "What's the common denominator?"Derek asked. Scott shrugged. Derek leaned down grabbing onto Scott's hand. I heard bones cracking and Scott groaned falling onto the ground. I winced looking away. "What is…what the hell are you going?!" He yelled at Derek. "It'll heal." Derek replied calmly. "It's still hurt!" Scott yelled.

Derek walked back up the stairs to me. He turned back to Scott. "And that's what keeps you human. Pain." Scott grunted and started moving his fingers. I stared down at him in shock and awe. Derek motioned to his hand. "Maybe you'll survive." He turned and grabbed my hand pulling me up the stairs. We walked into his room just as the front door slammed shut. I sighed and crawled onto Derek's bed. I turned to face him and he was just staring at me. I smiled at him taking off my jacket. "What?"

He slipped his jacket off and threw it onto a chair in the corner of the room. He laid down next to me and pulled me down onto his chest. I giggled straddling his waist. His hands rested on my thighs. I sighed looking down at him. "What's wrong Der?" I asked him quietly. He looked up into my eyes. "I don't like you being in danger. The Alpha could have turned you or killed you tonight." I nodded. "Yeah, he could have. But he didn't. I'm perfectly fine. Well, except for my bruised knuckles." I told him smiling. He smirked. "I saw that punch. Nice one." I shrugged. "No one talks bad about Papa Stilinski. He's the only father figure Scott and I have." I said.

He pulled me down so I was laying on his chest. I listened to his heart beat and sighed happily. I slipped my hand under his shirt. I could feel his chest vibrating. I smirked and looked up at him. "Ticklish are we Mr. Hale?" I asked. He glared down at me playfully. "Don't you dare Stasia. You will regret it." I sat up and started tickling him. He laughed and squirmed. I giggled and tried to get completely on top of him to hold him down but I slipped off the bed falling onto the floor with an oomph. I blushed and looked up to see Derek sitting up on the bed with his lips in a smirk and his eyes glinting with mischief.

I got up slowly and started backing away as he slid off the bed. "You're in very big trouble." His voice was low. I turned taking off out of his room and down the hall. I was giggling as I ran. I could hear his loud footsteps behind me. I squealed as his arms wrapped around my waist picking me up and spinning me around. I laughed trying to get out of his grip. "No! No! I'm sorry!" I said laughing. "Too late darling." He picked me up throwing me over his shoulder. I had a perfect view of his ass. I smirked. "I have one mighty fine view." I shook on his shoulder as he laughed. I squeaked when he slapped my ass. "Hey!"

"I have a nice view too." I could hear the smirk in his voice. He walked back into his room and tossed me onto his bed gently. He crawled on top of me as I backed up laying my head on his pillow. I smiled up at him. His right hand cupped my cheek. "I shouldn't be this lucky to have you." He whispered. I shook my head. "That's not true." I told him. "You deserve the best of everything." He smiled and leaned down placing a gentle kiss onto my lips.

My arms wrapped around his neck to pull him down closer. His left hand ran down my side stopping at the back of my knee to wrap it around his waist. I smiled into the kiss and tugged on his hair gently. He growled pulling away. I opened my eyes to see his were the bright blue. I smiled and slid my hands onto his face to cup his cheeks. "Losing control Mr. Hale?" I asked him teasingly. He blinked changing his eye color back. He smirked and shook his head. "Nope." I giggled and leaned up to peck his lips. "I have school tomorrow so I need to get home soon." I told him as I brushed my lips across his jaw. I could feel him shiver ever so slightly causing me to smirk.

I turned him over so I was on top and leaned down going to kiss his lips but kissed the tip of his nose instead. I got up and ran downstairs quickly giggling. I could hear him groan and chase me. I got to the door to my car before he slammed his body against mine pinning me to the car. I smiled up at him innocently. "I need to go Der." I told him quietly. He shook his head and leaned down pressing his lips to mine passionately. His hands squeezed my hips before lifting me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist and deepened the kiss. I pulled away panting. "I really have to go." I told him and then kissing him right after. He didn't object to it.

We stayed there making out against my car for a few minutes. He finally pulled away. I smiled slightly at his swollen lips. His cheeks were flushed. He just stared at me. I smiled and played with his hair. "You make me really happy." He whispered leaning his forehead against mine. I kissed his lips softly. "Ditto." I whispered.

He set me down on my feet and opened the car door for me. I smiled and got in. He leaned down and kissed my forehead before closing the door and walking backwards to the house. I waved driving off.

I sat beside Danny in chemistry class turning pages in my textbook. "Just a friendly reminder, parent/teacher conferences are tonight. Students below a C average are required to attend. I won't name you, because the shame and self-disgust should be more than enough punishment." Mr. Harris walked up and stopped beside Stiles who was too busy highlighting everything in his textbook to notice. "Has anyone seen Scott McCall?" I sighed. Mom was going to kill him. Stiles finally looked up. I smirked since he had the highlighter cap in his mouth. We all looked to the front as the door opened. Jackson walked in looking terrible.

He went to his chair and sat down. Mr. Harris walked over to him and put his hand on his back. "Hey, Jackson. If you need to leave early for any reason, you let me know." Jackson nodded. Mr. Harris walked to the front of the room. "Everyone, start reading chapter nine. Mr. Stilinski. Try putting the highlighter down between paragraphs. It's chemistry, not a coloring book." I snickered as he spit the cap up into the air and caught it.

I turned back to my book opening it up to chapter nine. "Hey, Danny. Can I ask you a question?" I heard Stiles whisper to him. "No." Danny simply stated. "Well, I'm going to anyway. Um, did Lydia show up in your homeroom today?" He asked. I looked over at Danny. He sighed. "No."

"Can I ask you another question?" Stiles asked. "Answer's still no." Danny told him. I smirked. "Does anyone know what happened to her and Jackson last night?" I looked to Stiles and waved my hand a bit. I knew because I was kinda there at the end and they talked to me. But, of course, I'm ignored. "He wouldn't tell me." Danny reluctantly told Stiles. "But he's your best friend."Danny shrugged. "One more question."

"What?" Danny asked frustrated. "Do you find me attractive?"Stiles leaned forward so much he fell off of his chair. I giggled and put my head down onto my book shaking my head.

The bell rang ending 4th period so I walked out of my history class looking down at the paper we just received. We had to do a history project about our family. I sighed folding the paper up and putting it into my bag. Derek walked out of the boy's locker room so I ran up and hugged his arm. "Hey baby. What are you doing here?" I asked him. He smiled down at me. "Trying to find out what Jackson saw last night." I nodded.

"I wish I could ditch and just go with you but I have to stay. I don't want to ditch on parent/teacher conference day because then my mom would literally kill me, bring me back to life, and then kill me again." He chuckled and nodded. I leaned up and pecked his lips waving as I ran the opposite direction to get to class.

I smiled standing up as my mom walked closer to me. I stayed in school after it ended to wait for the conferences to start. "Hey mom." I kissed her cheek and put my book back into my bag. "Hey sweetie. Where's your brother?" I shrugged. "Don't know. Don't really care if I'm being honest." I told her smiling. She smiled and shook her head. "Let's get this over with." I nodded and we walked into our chemistry classroom. Mom and I sat on the chairs in front of Mr. Harris. We waited a few minutes for Scott. Mom took her phone out and called him. "Where the hell are you? Get to the school now." She said and then hung up.

"How about we get started?" Mr. Harris asked. Mom nodded. "Sure." I crossed my arms over my chest. "Stasia has been great. She has been losing focus in class however." I frowned. "No, I haven't." Mom looked at me. I sighed and nodded. "Maybe I have." I slid down in the chair trying to make myself small. "She's been keep a C average but if she wants to pass she needs at least a B." I nodded. "I have a study partner and everything Mr. Harris. I'm really trying here." He nodded.

He sighed. "Lately Scott's mind has been somewhere else, as has his body. Personally, I think it may have something to do with his home situation." I sat up. "Excuse me. What do you mean 'home situation'? Our home life is amazing." I remarked. "Uh, specifically the lack of an authority figure." I glared. "Yeah, I'm the authority figure, so…" My mom trailed off. Mr. Harris smiled. "Sorry. Allow me to clarify. I mean the lack of a male authority figure." Mom nodded. "Oh."

"He doesn't have a problem with that. None of us do. We're better off without him." I told him crossing my arms. "Well, does Scott feel the same way?" He asked. "Yes. I think so. I hope so." Mom answered. I frowned. "Scott does feel the same way. He hates the man. Our mom is a great authority figure and I would appreciate it if you didn't assume otherwise."I sneered at him.

At the end of the conferences, mom and I walked out of the school. She called Scott again. "Scott, you need to call me right now." I sighed as she hung up. I tapped mom on the shoulder pointing to Allison's parents. She pulled me over to them. "Excuse me, you're not Allison's parents, are you?" She asked them. "I'm Scott's mom, and I hate to say it, but he's not answering his phone either."

"You're his mother?" Mr. Argent sneered down at mom. I glared. "I swear. Another person asks you that in that way, I will be sent to jail for killing them." I said stepping up to stand in front of Allison's parents. "I wouldn't claim it as a source of pride, since he basically kidnapped my daughter today." I pushed his chest knocking him back a few steps. "You are going to stop disrespecting my mother you arrogant dick. Allison is the reason Scott's not here since it's her fucking birthday."

"My daughter…" Mr. Argent began taking a step toward me but stopped when he caught sight of something behind us. "Is right there." I smirked seeing them get out of Allison's car. "I told you, you insolent jackass." We walked over to the two delinquents. "Where exactly have you been?" Mom asked Scott. "Nowhere, mom."

"Nowhere, meaning not at school." Scott sighed. "Kind of." Allison looked at her. "It's not his fault. It's my birthday, and we were…" She was cut off by her dad. "Allison. In the car." There was a scream behind us in the parking lot. We looked back to see people running around. A lot of them were screaming and trying to get to their cars. Scott walked away. I followed Allison looking around. "What's going on?" I asked her. She shrugged. We heard growling. We saw something run past us a row over. We backed up slowly.

We started running backwards. "Allison!" I heard Scott say. We turned seeing a car's bright lights. I screamed as the edge of the car slammed into my body. I rolled onto the ground and cried out in pain. Mr. Harris ran over to me. "Call an ambulance!" He yelled out as a gun shot rang through the air. Everyone gathered around the front of the school. Mom seen me and gasped. She ran over. "Oh, my God!" I shakily moved my hand to my side pulling it away. There was blood.

I whimpered out. I heard the sirens of the ambulance and people began to walk away. Scott walked over and his eyes widened seeing me. I glared up at him. He decided his girlfriend was more important than his family. He can kiss my ass and never talk to me again for all I cared. I looked at mom. "I-I need you to call Derek. His contact name is Mr. Sexy Green Eyes." I sighed at her look and then winced. "Don't ask. Just call him and tell him what happened." She nodded as the EMT's ran over to me.

I laid on the hospital bed a little loopy from the pain medication the doctors gave me. I looked over at the door as it opened. I smiled goofily at Derek as he walked in. He sighed in relief and rushed over to me. "What the hell happened to you?" He asked grabbing onto my hand gently. "A mountain lion was in the parking lot at school. Allison and I were together. We ran out in front of a car not knowing that it was there. Scott saved her and left me to get hit." I told him lifting up the hospital gown showing him the bandage on my side not caring if he saw me in my underwear.

He smiled weakly and pulled the gown down. "Are you okay?" I nodded slightly and scooted over. "Stay with me please?" I asked him. He nodded and slid his jacket down his arms and put it on the chair beside the bed. He got into the bed carefully and pulled me close. I laid my head on his chest and yawned tiredly. "How could he save her but not me? I'm his freaking sister." He sighed stroking my hair. "I don't know baby. Go to sleep." He whispered to me. I nodded closing my eyes and instantly fell asleep to the sound of Derek's heart beat.
