Derek and I were walking the corridor towards the exit when the bell rang, signalling that I wasn't going to skip school because I could go home now. Derek walked straight to his car and I followed, hopping into the other side. Derek didn't say anything; he just drove off in his car and went straight to his house. He was silent for most of the ride there, but as soon as he stepped out, he pinned me to the bonnet of the car and kissed me vigorously. Surprised, I just stayed there, dumbfounded for a few seconds, before I found the reaction that I was looking for, to kiss back. When he let me go, he was just staring at me. I laughed quietly and walked inside with him. We went inside and Derek stripped off his jacket and t shirt, leaving him just in his pants. He then looked at me and began to chase me around the house. Knowing that he was probably trying to train me, I took off, running up the stairs and standing by the railing. As soon as he got up the stairs I flipped off of them and ran around downstairs, into a few rooms that I had never stepped foot in before. I walked slowly and kept my breathing quiet, but eventually Derek found me.
"You're dead" He whispered against my lips.
"So are you then" I smirked, before wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing him.

As soon as that was over, Derek got down to business and started to really work out. I sat on the stairs and watched, feeling as though something wasn't right. But I ignored it when he started doing chin ups of the frame of the roof. He glanced at me with a look on his face before speaking.
"What?" He asked me. I smirked.
"Just admiring the view" I told him, letting my eyes wander up and down. He laughed, then instantly dropped to the floor to do a few push ups. Then, he switched to doing push ups with only one hands. But then we heard something
"But it doesn't mean we can't say hello"

In a matter of seconds, Derek had shot over to the stairs and picked me up, before running into one of the back rooms. We heard the door get kicked open, and multiple footsteps were heard as they stepped inside the old Hale house. Derek pressed close to me, making sure I didn't do anything stupid.
"No one home" An unfamiliar voice called from the front of the room. I felt Derek's heart rate rise as he heard a gun being clicked.
"Oh he's here. He's just not feeling particularly hospitable" Kate told the guy. Instantly, I tensed up, knowing she was here to hurt Derek. I made a promise to myself then and there that Derek was not going to get hurt.
"Maybe he's out, burying a bone in the backyard" the same hunter called, causing a low growl to come from my throat. It was too quiet to be heard though.
"Really, a dog joke" Kate asked disbelievingly. "We're going there and that's the best you got. If you want to provoke him, say something like, too bad your sister bit it before she had her first litter" I could feel Derek growing angry behind me, but I couldn't calm him down, because I was getting worked up as well. "To bad your mate will howl like a bitch when we cut her in half like your sister!" Kate yelled.

Derek completely lost it, he let go of me and quickly threw the other hunter into the wall. Then, he backed up against the wall, and I ran out after him, into my wolf form as well. Kate looked quite pleased that she had us both in the one house. Derek, still on the defence, jumped over the stairs and used the railing of the house to kick him back into the wall as well. Kate stared at him for a minute as I ran over to him, and right as I got there he took off, running at Kate. Instantly, I saw what was going to happen, and pushed Derek out of the way, taking the pain of the electrical current. Instantly, I fell to the floor in pain, twitching. I was human again, and so was Derek, as he was instantly by my side, trying to calm me down.
"Wow, the two of you are so lovey-dovey that you take pain from the other. Too bad it doesn't make a difference; he still feels your pain." I flinched on the floor, as Derek picked me up and tried to move me over to the couch. He struggled to get over to the couch, but when he got there, Kate instantly shocked me again, making Derek's legs buckle. He fell to the floor, but he didn't let go of me I buried my head in his chest; Kate wasn't going to get the satisfaction of seeing me in pain. Kate was laughing at the two of us as Derek shifted so that he was braced against the wall.

"Its 900,000 volts" She told him, looking at the thing that she had just shocked me with twice. "You never were good with electricity, or fire Derek. That seems to be something that has carried over to your mate" I let out a quiet whine, only loud enough for Derek to hear, as my body had multiple spasms. "This is why I'm going to let you in on a little secret. And you know, maybe we can help each other out" Kate suggested. Derek just held onto me and stared at her, extremely defensive and defiant.
"Yes, your sister was severed into pieces and used as bait to try and catch you; unpleasant, and frankly a little to Texas chainsaw massacre for my taste, but quite true. Now here's the part that might really kick you in the balls. We didn't kill her" Kate told Derek, who stiffened against me and stared at her. I finally gained enough courage to look at her slightly, though I moved nothing but my head. I knew my eyes were still their greenish blue colour, but at the moment I didn't care.

She stared at me, and then looked at Derek, who clearly didn't believe her. "You think I'm lying?" She asked Derek, who opened his mouth to speak painfully.
"It wouldn't be the first time" He muttered to her. She instantly began to laugh, and Derek just stared, though I could feel the pain radiating off of him.
"Sweetie, well, why don't you just listen to my heart and tell me if I am" She told Derek, who instantly did as she said. "Okay. We didn't kill your sister" She punctuated each word, and with every breath, she leaned closer to Derek and I. I flinched when her hair touched some of my cheek, as I was now legitimately terrified of the woman in front of me. But, as much as I was scared at her, she was telling the truth.
"You hear that? There's no blimps or upticks, just the steady beat of the cold hard truth." She told Derek, before backing away from us slightly. Seeing how scared I had gotten, Derek had gained a protective gleam in his eye, so she was now wary of the two of us. I was slowly recovering.

"They found bite marks on your sisters body Derek. What do you think did that?" She asked him. "A mountain lion" She asked him, seeing the irony in the whole situation. "Why aren't we helping each other out? You might as well admit what you've been guessing all along, which is, the Alpha killed your sister" I hadn't thought about this at all, but Kate was right, there was no change in Derek's emotions for the new revelation about who killed his sister. He had expected it. "Now, all you have to do it tell us who he is and we'll take care of it for you" Kate told him. "Problem solved, everybody goes home happy, you and your mate can continue doing whatever you want to do" I growled softly, while Derek just stared at her with an unreadable expression on his face.
"Unless, you don't know who he is either" Kate said, causing Derek to wrap his arms around me. He knew what was coming, and I wasn't strong enough to run yet. "Well, guess what two werewolves just became totally useless."

Straight away, Kate whipped around with her gun and began to fire at the place where we had been moments ago. Derek, with me securely locked in his arms, had run out into the forest and hadn't stopped until he thought that they were far enough from everyone. Derek turned to look back at the house while I had my head buried back in Derek's chest. I was shaking, absolutely terrified of the Argent woman. Derek seemed to recognise this.
"She won't get you" He promised me softly. I could only nod, but my shaking still wouldn't cease. I had bitten my lip to the point where it was almost drawing blood.
"I know she won't, it just worries me that she's here" I told Derek quietly.
"Why?" He asked me. I sighed and closed my eyes; the pain of the 900,000 volts had worn me out.
"Because she isn't going to let us live in peace" I muttered. Derek sighed and placed a soft kiss to my forehead.
"I don't care what it takes Kim, I'm always going to be there to protect you" He promised me again. I smiled slightly and leaned my head up to meet his lips.
"Good" I muttered, before falling into the deep slumber that I so greatly desired.

When I awoke next I was in my bed, the sheets over me. The window was open and the room smelt of Derek, as though he had only left a few moments ago. It was just getting dark, so I would have to go to the parent teacher interviews before I could do anything else. I wondered if Scott had remembered them on his date with Allison, but something told me that he would have forgotten them. That was bad; our mum was going to be absolutely livid when she didn't show up.
"Kimberly" I heard my mum call before walking into my room. By now, I was sitting up on the bed just thinking. I had tried so hard to get people to stop calling me Kimberly, particularly at the start of this school year. Maybe I was hoping for a 'new year, new me' kind of start. But I gave up, because a 'new year, new me' start was exactly what I got, just in a completely different way.
"Yeah" I asked her, turning my head. She smiled at me. I had always been closer with my mum then my dad; in fact, I had never loved my dad.
"What am I going to hear at the parent teacher interview tonight?" She asked me, walking over to join me on the bed. I smirked slightly, my mum was well aware of my rebelliousness against my teachers, and she often told me that I got it from my dad. I told her that any bad qualities I had come from dad.
"The usual, she's loud, she's obnoxious, and she's rude" I listed off. Mummy McCall had stopped caring after Stiles, Scott and I had explained that most of the time I was just defending someone from what the teacher had rudely said to them. Mum laughed, and then pulled me into a hug from the side. I had inherited my curly hair from my mum, and many people always said that we looked alike, more than Scott and I looked alike.
"Be down stairs in 10 minutes" She told me, placing a soft kiss in my hair before walking out of my room.

I sighed and stood up from my bed, opening my wardrobe and looking through it. I couldn't care less about the way I looked on a good day, but since I was just going to parent teacher interviews, I threw on a pair of leggings and a tank top. I was about to grab another jacket from my closet when I noticed the outlining of a certain black leather jacket on my bed. To be specific, Derek's black leather jacket. Smiling to myself, I put it on over my tank top. It was about 3 sizes too big, but it was extremely comfortable and warm. I instantly decided that I was going to steal more clothes from Derek if it felt like this. When I was happy that I wasn't going to freeze to death, I walked downstairs to meet mum, who was waiting for me by the door. She noticed that the jacket was too big, and contemplated on saying something, but ended up asking me something else.
"Where's Scott?" She asked me. I shrugged, though I knew he was with Allison somewhere.
"He's probably going to meet as there, he might be with Stiles. I didn't go home with them" I told her. I hated lying to my mum, but at least she couldn't hear my heartbeat to know I was lying. Mum nodded, then the two of headed to the car and hopped in.

We got to the school after a fun car ride with the music blasting to songs from the 90's. Mum had gotten me into that kind of music when I was younger and I hadn't stopped loving it. We headed inside, with me sending a text to Scott telling him that if he didn't get here soon he was going to get skinned and I was going to have to eat him, referring to what I said earlier in the day. Scott didn't answer, which lead me to believe he had his phone off. About 10 minutes later, Mum and I had to go through to speak with Mr Harris. We sat awkwardly, me slipping further and further into Derek's jacket as Scott was nowhere to be seen. Mum eventually tried to call him, but he didn't have his phone on, so she left a message.
"Where the hell are you? Get to the school, now" She told him, before hanging up her phone. Mr Harris watched my mum struggle for a minute before speaking up.
"How about we get started with Kimberly, then Scott to give him some more time to make an appearance" I knew he was mocking Scott in a way, so I shot him a glare.
"Sure" Mum told him.

"Kimberly is a talented girl, we just feel that she doesn't her skills to the best of her ability" Mr Harris started to speak. I hated parent teacher conferences. It was never anything good, it was always that you could do something better. "Across all her subjects she averages about a B, but we feel that she could easily achieve an A average." Mum looked at me, but I just leaned my head on the chair, sinking further into the jacket. Mr Harris sighed, and then got onto what he really needed to talk about.
"Besides her grades, we really think that Kimberly should take the arguing with teachers down a little bit. Most of the times the fights are unprovoked"
"Most of the time a teacher has said something offensive to my friends" I shot back at him, annoyed. Mum gave me a look and I backed down, and then stared back at Mr Harris.
"She can try to stop arguing" Mum told him. I opened my mouth angrily then shut it, knowing that it wouldn't get me anywhere.
"The other thing we have to complement about Kimberly though is that she shows outstanding leadership qualities. She seems to know how to keep both Scott and Stiles inline, and usually does it without causing too much of a fuss" Mum shot me a smile for that one.

"Okay, the next thing I have to talk about had to do with the two of them. Lately, Scott and Kimberly's minds have been somewhere else…" I instantly froze, and wished that Scott was with me so that I could survive this with him, but unfortunately, he hadn't turned up. "…as has their bodies. Personally, I think it may have something to do with their home situation" Mr Harris said. I instantly shook my head, knowing what he was saying.
"Well, personally I'm not sure what you mean by home situation" My mum told him, a defiant look on her face.
"Specifically the lack of an authority figure" Mr Harris told her. My mum looked slightly offended, and started to defend herself.
"Yeah, I'm the authority figure" She told him. Mr Harris flinched, and then thought of something to say.
"Sorry, allow me to clarify" He told her. In my opinion, it sounded like he was making fun of her, but by the look on my mums face, I knew if I said anything I could kiss any privileges goodbye. "I mean the lack of a male authority figure" He told us. I spoke up this time.
"Well trust me, we're so much better off without that asshole in the picture" I told my teacher. Mum glared at me for my language, but I really disliked my dad.
"Does your brother feel the same way as you?" Mr Harris challenged me. I opened my mouth to speak but mum beat me to the punch.
"Yes, I think so. I hope so" She muttered.
"The two of them are going to be going through some difficult changes" He had no idea how true that statement was. "They both might need a little extra attention. A guiding hand through this crucial stage" I almost laughed at the irony of it all. My helping hand wasn't going to be my mother; it was going to be Derek, whose jacket I was currently wrapped in.

"He has me" I said stubbornly. If Scott wasn't going to listen to what Derek was telling him, I would tell him, just in a different way. Mr Harris looked at me, a new level of respect for me in his eyes. Tonight, all he had done for me was lesson my opinion of him, and that was pretty hard to do since I already didn't like him.
"Well, if you have no further questions, I'd like to end it here" Mr Harris spoke up. Mum and I nodded, and I shot out of the classroom before anything else could be said. I was honestly going to kill Scott for not being there with me when I had to listen to them talking about the fact that we were drifting away from our school work.
Mum walked out of the classroom fuming. She didn't speak to me; she simply got on her phone and text Scott a multiple amount of times. I followed behind her.
"Maybe he's sick at home?" I suggested to her, but she was having none of it. She simply called him and left him a message. We finally reached the school gates after she had called him for about the 50th time.

"Scott, you need to call me right now" She seethed, before hanging up the phone. Then, she just stood there with me as we waited for something to happen. Turning, I saw Allison's car parked in the drive and saw Allison and Scott sitting there. Immediately, I gave him a look, but turned away, still feeling as though I needed to save him from the wrath of our mum. But then, I saw the Argents, who were also looking unimpressed, and my mind instantly shot back to Kate and the torture she had set on me earlier. Mum started to drag me over there, seeing that she knew who they were. I tried to protest, but was ultimately silenced when we reached them.
"Kate hasn't heard from her either" I heard Victoria, Allison's mum say. I froze at the mention of Kate and shrunk behind my mother, which Chris seemed to notice.
"Excuse me; you're not Allison's parents are you?" Mum asked Chris and Victoria Argent. Chris stared at me, probably waiting to see what I did. "I'm Scott's mum, and this is Scott's sister Kimberly and I'd hate to say it but he's not answering his phone either" Mum finished. Chris looked at my mum again, but not before picking up the fact that I was wearing Derek's leather jacket. He was a werewolf hunter, after all. He did notice these things.

"You're his mother?" Chris asked with a twinge of accusation in his voice. Mum picked up on it too.
"Funny how you say that like it's an accusation" Mum tried to laugh it off, but I could tell she was more than a little bit annoyed with the statement.
"Well I wouldn't claim it as a source of pride since he basically kidnapped my daughter today" Chris yelled at her. I bit my tongue to stop myself from yelling that his sister had almost killed me today.
"How do we know skipping school wasn't your daughter's idea?" Mum snapped. Chris looked just as defiant as her.
"My daughter" His gaze flickered for a moment, and then he spotted her. "Is right there" Instantly, Mm turned around and ran to Scott, and I was about to follow, but Chris pulled me back.
"How do you know Derek Hale?" He hissed. I glared at him, but on the inside, I was screaming out to Derek and hoping to God that he heard me. I was terrified. It must have shown in my gaze, because Chris let go of me, then shared a look with Victoria which meant that they knew something that I didn't. Instantly, I ran over to my mum, but not before I felt someone's familiar gaze on me. It was only when I started running to Scott and Allison that I realised my eyes had flashed. They knew for certain I was a wolf.

"Where exactly have you been?" I just caught the start of my mother's sentence to Allison and Scott.
"Nowhere Mum" Scott answered her. I was going to give him a piece of my mind when we got home, but I decided that public embarrassment via our mother was bad enough.
"Nowhere meaning not at school" I opened my mouth to protest but Mum instantly silenced me with a glare, meaning that I was going to be in trouble for lying to her. Scott looked awkward.
"Kinda" He muttered. I heard a chuckle in the back of my mind and I smiled slightly, knowing what it meant.
"It's not his fault, it's my birthday and we were just hanging out" Allison tried to get Scott out of trouble, but then her parents showed up right beside me.
"Allison? In the car" Chris instantly told her, but as soon as he had finished his sentence people began to scream and run around all over the parking lot. Scott and I shared a glance before pelting right into the heap of cars, trying to work out what was going on. Allison started to walk around too. All around, people were getting into cars and driving off, making it a kill zone for everyone.

I walked out onto the open road right as a car came speeding around the corner. I let out a scream in both my mind and out loud, and then I was suddenly on the floor, pinned down by Derek.
"Normally this is a position I would love to be in" Derek chuckled when I said that, "But Chris Argent if on extremely high alert with the two of us and if he sees you here I don't know what he'll do." I told him. Derek nodded and quickly pecked me on the lips before disappearing into the night, but not before leaving a thought in my mind, telling me that he would be in my bedroom when I got home. Honestly, that sounded kind of creepy, but I knew he was just telling me so I didn't scare the shit out of myself when I walked inside. Suddenly, I heard a car pull out from somewhere, but that wasn't what worried me. What worried me was the "Allison!" That came after it from Scott. Luckily, the fact that no one screamed was a huge indicator that she hadn't died. "Are you okay?" I heard Scott ask her.
"Move, Move!" I heard Mr Stilinski yelp from somewhere in the car park. Then I heard a car go to move.
"Mr Stilinski!" I shouted, trying to alert him to the fact that he was about to get hit, but he wasn't able to move in time, and injured something.

When I went to come over to him, he shook his head. Instantly, I turned around and walked over to Chris Argent, who was standing there with his gun out.
"Shoot it before it kills someone else" I hissed at him. Chris looked surprised, and then stared at me.
"Why don't you do anything?" He asked me. I looked at him with a pointed look.
"Do you want me to shift in a parking lot, with a ton of people staring?" I asked him. I was no longer scared of him, I was just annoyed. I had a feeling that I would still be scared of Kate though. Chris instantly turned around and began to shoot at the creature. When he had used all of his bullets, everyone began to stalk forward, Scott moving to stand behind me protectively. It wasn't the Alpha who had been shot. It was a mountain lion.

As soon as we got home, Mum went to bed, and I looked at Scott. "If you ever leave me during a parent teacher interview again I'll be the one skinning you" I told him seriously. Scott looked amused.
"What happened?" He asked me.
"Mr Harris is an idiot, that's what happened" I muttered, walking to the fridge and grabbing a drink. Scott laughed at me, already knowing quite well that I had a strong dislike of the guy. "Actually, anyone who thinks that Jackson is a nice person is an idiot. So basically, just Mr Harris" I told Scott. Scott laughed again, and then looked at me.
"What else happened?" He pressed. He knew me too well, and he knew when I was trying to cover something up I would say something completely irrelevant.
"I was with Derek" I started. Scott instantly looked as though Derek was the problem, so he was about to get a shock when I finished my explanation. "And Kate showed up" This time, Scott looked surprised, not expecting this. "To cut a long story short, she pumped 18000000 volts of electricity into me" I finished. Scott simply stared at me as I began to shake. Kate truthfully scared me. "Derek had to carry my home because I practically passed out from exhaustion after woods." I told Scott. He instantly wrapped me in a hug. Something about almost losing his sister alarmed him more than he would ever know.

After I told Scott, I drowned the drink that I had gotten from the fridge, said my goodnights, then walked upstairs towards my room, then opened the door. Almost immediately Derek pinned me to the door in a jokingly fierce way. "I would like my jacket back" He told me. I laughed to myself and slipped it off, placing it in his arms.
"There you go" I told him like I was a salesperson, making him laugh "Would that be all for today". Once he had his jacket back, his kissed me softly, before moving to the bed.
"I'd also like a kiss with my order" Derek mumbled. I continued kissing him until I rolled over onto my side.
"I think I can comply with that" I joked. He looked at me then stood up, watching as I settled into the bed. As I settled in, he moved to leave through the open window. I shook my head.
"Stay" I told him. He shook his head, thinking I meant something entirely different. "I didn't mean that" I told him bluntly. "I meant stay. Please, just sleep" I patted the bed beside me, and he sighed slightly, but then stripped off his top layer of clothes until he was just in his bottoms and slipped into bed next to me. I was still in my leggings and t-shirt as I was too tired to change.
"Goodnight Derek" I muttered quietly, settling into his arms and using his chest as a pillow.
"Goodnight Kimberly" Derek told him. And for once, I fell asleep, entirely happy.
