The sight in front of Sophia was literally making her feel physically sick. Every time the boy's body shook upon the metal veterinary table, a yellow substance was escaping out his mouth making Sophia flinch away. The boy, Brett continued to have a seizure, his body reacting to the wolf's bane inside of him.

When Derek had told her that a player from the other team at the lacrosse game had been attacked and gotten wolfs bane in him, she wasn't exactly expecting to be met with the sight of him literally having a fit. She thought maybe it would be less disgusting than what she was now seeing and was regretting her choice of coming along with him.

Sophia much to her refusal was stood beside Peter on one side of the room whilst Derek and Stiles, a friend of Scott's and who happened to go to the same school as her was trying to hold down Brett much to his constant shaking.

"What the hell is happening to this kid?" Stiles questioned Dr Deaton who was a veterinarian who worked at the animal clinic but also knew about the supernatural as he was a druid.

"He was poisoned by a rare wolfs bane" Dr Deaton answered coming round to the table where the two were struggling to hold Brett still "I need to make an incision and you need to hold him as still as possible"

Stiles glared over at Derek who also was finding it hard to get a steady grip on the body "Hey Derek. What about a little werewolf strength?"

"I'm not the only one here with werewolf strength" Derek snapped at Stiles knowing that his powers were decreasing and in this situation he wasn't much help without them, like Stiles, who was human.

"If you can't hold him still the incision might kill him" Dr Deaton told them both hovering with a knife over the body.

Brett's body began shake uncontrollably, Stiles and Derek's grips becoming weaker and they felt the body slipping away from them "I think he's slipping… I can't hold him" Stiles exclaimed just as Brett used his werewolf strength to push the three of them away from him, sending them flying off the table and into the sides of the room.

Sophia screamed as she watched Derek crash into something and moved her eyes over to Brett who got off the table searching around for a way to get out. She felt literally terrified as she comprehended that she was the one closest to the door. Brett began to approach her heading towards the door, Sophia felt herself begin to step away in fear as Peter came to stand in front of her protectively knowing Derek would kill him if Sophia was harmed and he hadn't done anything to help.

Quickly Peter leant forward, throwing his fist up into the air and punched Brett right in the face sending him down onto the floor, knocking him completely unconscious. Stiles and Sophia both stared at him in horror as he gradually brought his fist back down, his eyes glowed their werewolf blue as everyone looked down at Brett.

Derek glanced over at Sophia making sure she was okay in which she nodded back at him in conformation and he rolled his eyes over to his uncle who flashed his blue eyes back in Derek direction making him pissed.

"I guess I still have a little werewolf strength myself" Peter smugly said as he blinked his eyes turning back to their original colour.

"Yeah maybe a more than a little" Derek replied to Peter who smirked at his nephew knowing Derek wasn't happy about this.

Derek glanced down at his arm and for the first time since Brett's attempt at a getaway he noticed three bloody claw mark wounds on his forearm, what weren't healing. He wasn't the only one who noticed. Sophia frowned at the claw marks Brett had left and she made her way over to him slowly, confusion written all over her face.

"Hey Doc, I don't think he's breathing" Stiles said bending down to Brett, Dr Deaton copying Stiles' actions examining him before bringing the knife from before up to Brett's chest. He carefully cut through the skin on his chest, Brett began stirring and moaning from the sharp object as a cloud of yellow smoke came out of his chest.

As this was happening, Sophia laid her fingers under Derek's arm taking a look at the wounds as she glanced back at him, his eyes meeting hers and they both had different looks. Sophia was confused and thrown to why Derek wasn't healing yet? Whilst Derek knew the real reason why he wasn't and he felt sad he definitely was losing his powers.

Looking away from Sophia, he took a look at Peter and then back down at his wounds, not wanting to have to tell Sophia the truth about what was really going on with him. Thankfully, they began healing and disappeared from his arm moments later.

"He'll be fine but he'll probably be out for a while" Dr Deaton informed them breaking Sophia away from Derek, hurt written all over her face that something was going on with Derek that he obviously wasn't telling her. She didn't want to be a part of that.

"Guys can you hear that?" Stiles questioned them as the faint sound of Brett's voice began to fill the room; he was whispering something under his breath even though he was out of it. "I think he's saying something"

Dr Deaton leaned forward to get a better sound of what Brett was saying out loud. "The sun, the moon, the truth"

Derek and Sophia wondered round to Brett's body as Peter stayed back, Dr Deaton leant back up after listening in to the words. "Three things cannot long be hidden, the sun, the moon and the truth" he said looking at Stiles and then up at Derek. "It's Buddhist"

Derek understood what Dr Deaton was getting at and he looked over at his uncle who was having the same feeling as him. "Satomi" Peter replied meaning that Brett belonged to a pack of wolves, a pack of wolves that belonged to Satomi. She was an alpha.

*~*
Derek, Peter and Dr Deaton remained inside the animal clinic talking about their plan to track down Satomi and her pack to make sure they weren't in any danger. While Stiles went with Sophia outside to catch some air outside after what had happened in there. This was all new to Sophia; she had never seen crazy stuff like this before and the things she had seen were basically nothing compared to this.

Sophia leant herself against the brick wall outside crossing her arms over her chest and Stiles came to stand beside her releasing how freaked out she probably was, he still got scared about things and he'd been dealing with this crap long enough.

"When Scott told me that you and Derek were together, I didn't believe him but I guess he was right" Stiles told her looking at her from the side as she gave him a strange look.

"We're not together" Sophia replied back sensitively and he raised an eyebrow up at her "It's complicated"

"That's the exact same thing that Derek said to Scott when Scott asked him" Stiles laughed slightly at how Sophia and Derek were both in denial at what they were really to each other. To everyone else it was like they were getting it on.

"He's just helping me out" she responded in a serious tone unlike Stiles' humoured one before.

"If you say so" Stiles chuckled back at her just as Derek and Peter came out of the clinic and outside where Sophia and Stiles were. Peter and Stiles said their goodbyes to the pair, climbing into their cars and heading off away from the clinic.

Derek turned round to face Sophia who was avoiding his gaze, her usual plumped red lips were parted slightly, she was breathing heavily, and a small frown lay across her forehead. From this Derek knew that Sophia was upset and probably was wondering what the hell happened in there. He felt guilty for even bringing her with him, as well as hinting to her that something was going on with him.

Not even bothering to speak to her, he wondered over to his car and unlocked it. The sounds from the car unlocking made Sophia stand upright and finally turn to look at him. As their eyes met, Derek quickly looked away and climbed into the car making Sophia angrier at him for starting to play the ignoring game with her. Stomping over to the car, she climbed into the passenger side of the car and threw on her seatbelt, ignoring Derek just like the way he had previously.

The ride back to Sophia's was awkward and tense. Sophia couldn't stop staring at the digital clock in the car what read '1:34am' meaning that she was extremely tired from her day at school, the nights events and the fact that she would have to be up in five or so hours for school. Derek knew that Sophia was angry at him and probably was going to rip into him once they arrived back at her place. And that's exactly what happened.

Throwing off her seatbelt she turned her body round to face Derek's who was already looking at her "What the hell was that back there? You weren't healing?"

"It's nothing" Derek muttered not wanting to have to go into this with her.

"Fine carry on keeping things from me" she snapped at him anger bubbling inside of her "You know what, just stop helping me find my sister. I don't need you"

Her words hurt him greatly and he felt himself begin to share the same anger she was, he couldn't deal with her having a go at him and bringing him down. He was already feeling low from losing his powers. The powers he had been given genetically. "You're being ridiculous, Sophia"

"Am I? The only thing that is ridiculous is us, Derek"

"What do you mean?"

"This" She said pointing between them angrily "This thing we have going on needs to stop"

Derek frowned at Sophia as she slumped down in her seat, her head hung low, her hair now covering her face, and her breathing was getting heavier. Suddenly she burst into tears the rage she felt and what had happened the past few weeks becoming too much for her to deal with. She was stressed out and fuming that this had all happened to her all at once. She couldn't take it any longer, however stupid she felt for breaking down like this in front of Derek she just couldn't help it.

He felt so guilt ridden and ashamed at himself for bringing this girl into his world and not even stopping her from being a part of it purely for his own needs. He wanted Sophia and he liked Sophia. But he knew he was no good for her. He should have just stayed away after that weekend. He should have never offered to help. He just probably made things worse for her.

Reaching his hand out, he went to place his hand on her shoulder to comfort her in some way but she shoved him away forcefully and he sighed in response trying to think why she was unexpectedly doubting whatever they had going on "What happened from when we got out of the car at the animal clinic till now that's affected us apart from me getting hurt?"

"I-i-t-t-s not what happened" Sophia said shakily through her cries "It's what people have been saying"

"Like who? Who's said something?" Derek asked her irritated that people and been saying things about her or them behind his back.

"Your uncle said something's last night, then the look's I got from Chris Argent and Dr Deaton and even Stiles earlier was questioning us" she cried back at him trying to wipe her tears away and compose herself, but she was just one big mess right now.

"What did my uncle say?"

"Does it really matter?" Sophia whimpered out finally looking at him tears running down her face and her lip was pouted from the crying but yet to Derek she still looked so sweet. "This can't happen between us. Right from the start after the night at the club, I knew I should have stayed away from you. This is so wrong and we can't go there. So it's best if you stay away from me and leave me alone"

"Sophia" Derek said softly grabbing her hand and rubbing his thumb over hers soothingly but again she pushed him away.

"Don't, Derek" she spat him putting his hand back down onto his lap and she grabbed the car door handle, exiting out of the car and running up to her front door, tears continued to stream down her face as she made her way upstairs heading for her bedroom.

Once she was inside, she slipped off her shoes and climbed into bed not even bothering to change into her pyjamas. She just wanted to sleep. She wanted to sleep the night away. Or what was left of it anyway.

After last night's events, the lack of sleep she had from crying and getting in late last night, Sophia was sat in her car in the school parking lot the following morning feeling a little better than she did hours before. After some sleep, a hot shower and a coffee she was feeling herself again and determined to try get over what she had witnessed. Maybe even Derek too. He hadn't even tried to get in contact her since last night. However much she wanted him to try winning her back, she knew it wouldn't be the best right now. She had to ignore him. She had to focus on herself.

Looking at her reflection in the rear view mirror, she took out her dark red lipstick and brought it up to her lips. As she finished applying her lipstick, she rubbed her lips together and made them pop forcing a smile onto her face. No one had to know how she really feeling. None of her friends knew about the supernatural or Derek. She didn't dare tell them. They would never understand. So in front of everyone at school she had to pretend she was happy. When in reality she was mess inside and exhausted.

Grabbing her bag off the passenger seat, she stepped out of the car and locked the car up behind herself. Throwing her bag over her shoulder, she made her inside the school where many students were entering and outside, chatting and joking around in their friendship groups. Sophia didn't really want to have to face any of her friends today except from lunch and break where she knew she wouldn't have a choice.

She made her way over to her locker where she unlocked it and pulled out the book's she needed for the first few periods. As she held the book's under her arm, she hadn't noticed the blonde girl dressed in a floral skater dress, nude court heels and a white kimono was stood beside her anxiously with her books also in her arm.

Closing up her locker with her elbow, Sophia span around on her feet and jumped slightly when she saw Kelsey stood beside her. "Hey Kelsey, I didn't see you there" Sophia laughed trying her best to hide the bad mood what was really biting at her.

"Yeah sorry didn't mean to scare you" Kelsey apologised smiling at Sophia who tried to return the smile.

"It's fine" Sophia replied back releasing she hadn't seen her friend's since the game last night, the same game she had left. "Sorry for leaving the game early last night"

"Oh it's cool" Kelsey said looking around before she turned back to Sophia looking worried "I actually saw you leave last night"

"You did?" Sophia asked with a frown, she hadn't even thought that someone could have followed her.

"Yeah, the girls and I noticed you had gone, so I said that I'd go find you and I saw you in the parking lot waiting by some random car" She told her friend and Sophia felt her heart miss a beat at the realisation that Kelsey had probably seen her with Derek last night. She didn't want her friends to be a part of this. "I don't want to sound like a stalker or anything but I waited. I wanted to know what was going on, you're my best friend and I care"

"Of course" Sophia murmured knowing Kelsey did care; they had been friends for years.

"But I can't believe you're dating Derek Hale" Kelsey beamed quietly jumping up and down slightly with excitement.

Although Sophia's reaction was less than excited, she was stunned and baffled that Kelsey actually believed her and Derek were together. Just by seeing them together, Kelsey had assumed that Derek was the one that Sophia was seeing and had spent her weekend with. Whilst some of that was true, she wasn't with Derek. Her and Derek had never been an item. They weren't even anything. Definitely after last night they weren't even on speaking terms anymore.

So how was she going to get herself out of this one?
