"No way, Jose." I said to Scott when he said that I was going ice skating today. We were at lunch and I didn't bother my food.
"Listen here, Callana Alana Bryn, I am tired of you being so depressed and being stuck in your room. You broke of with Derek. Hooray for you. Now get the hell over with him or get the hell back together with him. Either way you are going ice skating with us tonight." I looked up into Scott's brown eyes.
"Stiles is making you go isn't he?"
"Yes, please come, please, please, please, please, come."
"Fine, whatever." Stiles came over to us and sat across the table.
"So, I got the keys and I'll pick you two up after work tonight." Stiles said. Scott wasn't listening; he was staring at the lunch entrance. Stiles and I looked to see Erica Flynn walking in. Now, let me tell you, Erica used to be the girl everyone laughed at. She had seizures in the middle of the class, she always dressed in a sweatshirt and sweatpants and her hair was always a mess. But today was different. She wore five inch leopard high heels. She had a mini tight black skirt, a white tank top with a brown leather jacket. Her hair was down and in curls. She walked over to a guy and took his apple from him before walking out of the lunch room.
"What the holy hell was that?" Lydia asked us.
"It's Erica." Scott said. We got up and followed Erica outside to see her get in the passenger seat of Derek's car. Derek looked out his opened window at me and smirked before pulling out of the school parking lot.
"Looks like Derek found himself an alpha female." Stiles said.
"No." I growled. "Derek wouldn't make her alpha female. He's too in love with me. He's just trying to make me jealous. Besides, wolves mate forever."
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTTT
Stiles unlock the doors to the skating rink and turned on the lights. I walked in behind Stiles with Allison, Scott and Lydia behind me. I sighed. I couldn't believe Derek went that far. That's all I could think about.
"Hey," Allison came up beside me. "Wipe your mind clear. Nothing's going to happen between him and her." I smiled at her.
"You're right. Tonight, we're suppose to be having fun. My mind is clear so let's skate." I said. I sat down on the bench and pulled my skates from my bag and slipped them on. I remember my mother taking me ice skating. I haven't been ice skating since her death. I stepped out onto the ice rink and took a deep breath in. I slid on foot forward and glided forward with ease. I went faster and faster until my surroundings were a blur. Nothing else matter. With each step I took, I felt like I was stepping on one of my problems until my mind was empty. It was peaceful. It felt so warm in this cold rink. So full of people in this empty place. So. . . Lydia's scream sounded from the other side of the rink and I skidded to a halt to see Lydia crouch down on the ground, screaming her lungs out with Stiles beside her. Stiles looked up at us not knowing what was wrong with her.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEE
I was about to enter the lunch room the next day when Stiles stopped me.
"What do you want, Stiles?" I growled with my empty stomach.
"So, today Erica tried to recruit Scott into Derek's pack."
"So?"
"So, Erica's with Derek now."
"So?"
"So, so is Isaac."
"So?"
"So, she might come recruit you too."
"She wouldn't dare."
"Well, look at the table over there." Stiles pointed to the empty table in the far corner.
"Oh, snap." I muttered.
"Yeah." I ran into the lunch room to Scott with Stiles behind me.
"Look, over there." I ordered Scott, pointing to the empty table.
"So, it's just an empty table." Scott said.
"Yeah, but who's empty table?" Stiles asked. Then Scott started to get it.
"Boyd."
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEE
We left the lunch room and started to head out to the parking lot.
"Calla and I are going to go to the ice rink and see if he's there." Scott said. "And if he's not home, then you call me. Got it?" Stiles stopped and Scott and I turned to look at him. "What?"
"Maybe we should let him." Stiles said. "You said Derek's giving him a choice right?"
"No, he can't." Scott said as we began to walk again.
"You got to admit that Erica looks pretty hot."
"How do you think she's going to look with a wolfsbane bullet in her head?"
"Alright, all I'm saying is maybe this one is totally your guys' responsibility. Nah, forget it. I'm with you."
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
I slipped on my skates and skated onto the ice with Scott walking beside me as we made our way to Boyd and his little machine thing.
"Boyd!" Scott called to him. He ignored us. "We just want to talk. Come on, Boyd, please." I tried a different approach.
"Did Derek tell you everything?" I asked. "And I don't just mean going out of control on a full moon. I mean everything." Boyd turned the machine off.
"He told me about the hunters." Boyd said.
"And that's not enough for you to say no?" Scott questioned him. "Whatever you want there's other ways to get."
"I just not want to eat lunch alone everyday." Boyd said.
"If you're looking for friends then you can do way better than Derek." I said.
"That really hurts, Lily." I hung my head and sigh as Scott and I turned around to see Derek, Erica and Isaac. "I mean, if you're going to review me, then at least take a consensus. Erica, how's life been for you since we've met?"
"Hmm, in a word, transformative." Erica let out a roar.
"Isaac."
"Well, I'm a little bummed about being a fugitive but other than that I'm great."
"Wait, this isn't actually a fair fight." Scott said.
"Then go home, Scott."
"I'll take the bitch and you take the creep." I said to Scott.
"Deal." Scott said. Derek looked at Isaac and Erica. Isaac roared at Scott before charging at him. I crouched low to the ground.
"Here, kitty, kitty, kitty." I taunted Erica. She growled and I skated out of her path. I came up behind her and kicked her in the side and sent her flying across the rink. I turned to help Scott with Isaac when Erica leapt onto my back. "Listen, here, pussycat, I am not a climbing tower so get the hell off of me." I fell backwards onto my back and flipped to my feet. I roared at Erica before kicking her back over to Derek and skating to Scott's side who was on the ground, wounds healing. "He's doing this for power."
"It's true." Derek said. "It is about power." Derek walked towards me and I braced myself. His eyes flickered red and he let out a growl. "I don't want to hurt you, Lily."
"I'm not scared of you, Derek." I wish I hadn't said those words. Derek whammed his head against my forehead and slashed his claws at my stomach, finishing it off with a punch to the jaw. He punched me in the stomach and I doubled over. I elbowed him in the face and straightened myself up. He caught my punch and nailed me three times in the face. He grabbed me by the throat and slammed me on my back onto the ground and stepped on my chest. Bones cracked as I grasped for breath. He stepped off and I coughed for air. He walked out of the rink with his pack, including Boyd, behind him. Scott crawled over to me.
"You ok?" He asked.
"Never better." I groaned.
