Starr Hale: Sorry! But it's okay, we updated early this time. Yeah, he will find out eventually. -R

RAEGAN MCCALL

The next day, Scott and I were being forced to go grocery shopping by Mama McCall.

There, Scott informed me on what had happened with him yesterday; him and Allison ditching class for her birthday, them getting in a lot of trouble with their parents, the alpha showing up at the parent-teacher conference, Sheriff Stilinski getting hit by a car (it was minor injury), and Chris shooting the alpha, which turned out to be only a mountain lion.

And I told him about what happened with me; Derek asking me to see if Lydia saw anything, Stiles, Sammy, and I going to Lydia's, us finding the video on her phone, me going to Derek's to tell him (I realized I never even got to tell him. But, that's what he gets), Kate showing up, me and Kate fighting, her winning, and Derek saving me. Ugh.

Wow, we had busy lives lately.

When we had finished talking, we were back in the parking garage, with bags in our hands.

Scott looked around, confused. "Hey, where'd I park my car again?"

I shrugged, "I don't know. You're the werewolf. Aren't you supposed to have good memory or something?"

He put his groceries down, and took out the keys from his pocket. He pressed a button, and the car honked from the level above us.

He was about to pick up the bags again, when a bottle of milk rolled under a car.

"Crap," Scott said.

He went to get it, when it rolled back… with claw marks on it.

Then we heard growling.

Oh shit.

"Run!" Scott yelled.

I dropped my bags, and started running alongside him.

We were running as fast as we could. Then Scott pulled me behind a car and we sat there, catching our breaths.

He told me, in the secret hand-language we had made up when we were kids, that he was going to create a diversion.

I nodded.

We got up. And he started jumping on all the cars in the row in front of us, which caused their alarms to start blaring. Meanwhile, I ran through the space in front of the cars. We met up at the end of the row, and went to hide behind another car.

When did Scott become so smart?

Then his phone started ringing.

Or not…

He fumbled around for a second, before finally turning it off.

We were about to run again, when Scott was pulled up, away from me. He was slammed onto the car hood.

I was about to attack, not caring if I was a puny human against an alpha werewolf, when I heard Derek's voice.

"You're dead," he announced.

Hearing his voice sparked the anger inside of me. "Oh, hell no! You're the dead one here," I growled, throwing some punches at him. My anger made me sloppy. Plus, his werewolf reflexes helped him dodge all of them.

But I didn't care. I moved to lunge at him, but before I could do it, I felt someone's arms wrap around my waist to stop me.

"Let me go, Scott! I'm gonna murder him, resurrect him, then stick a stake up his ass and out of his mouth!" I screamed, thrashing around.

"Stakes are for vampires," Derek muttered.

"You think I care?! It'll still hurt like a bitch."

"She's right, Derek. What the hell was that?" Scott yelled at him, letting me go.

"Said I was gonna teach you. Didn't say when," he said, turning and walking away.

This motherfucker.

"You scared the crap out of us!" Scott yelled, following Derek, with me trailing behind them.

"We left all our groceries there! Someone could've stolen them!" I added.

"I'm sure all your groceries are right where you left them," Derek reassured.

"But I was fast, right?" Scott asked, trying to get his approval.

"Not fast enough," Derek answered, still walking.

"But, but the car alarm thing. That was smart, right?"

"Until your phone rang."

"Yeah. But that was-I mean- Would you just stop?! Please?"

Derek stopped and turned to him, and Scott carried on, "What happened the other night; Stiles and Sammy's dad getting hurt, that was my fault. I should have been able to do something. I need you to teach me how to control this."

"Look, I am what I am because of birth. You were bitten. Teaching someone who was bitten takes time. I don't even know if I can teach you."

"What do I have to do?"

"You have to get rid of distractions." He took Scott's phone from his hand, and showed Allison's missed call. "You see this? This is why I caught you. You want me to teach you? Get rid of her."

"What, just because of her family? Raegan told me you dated Kate. You dated an actual hunter, why can't I date one that just comes from a hunter family?" Scott demanded

"Kate and I broke up because she's the one who set my house on fire, killing most of my family," he got out.

I gasped.

That made so much more sense. That's the reason he keeps telling Scott not to date Allison; because he's worried the same thing will happen to him. And maybe the reason he snapped yesterday was because he didn't want to tell me, because it was too personal.

Aw, Derek.

Derek took advantage of our shocked silence.

"Wait - wait - whoa - whoa!" Scott yelled as Derek threw his phone at the wall, breaking it.

"Dude! You know how much those things cost?!" I exclaimed.

Derek ignored me, "You getting angry? That's your first lesson. You want to learn how to control this, how to shift, you do it through anger, by tapping into a primal animal rage, and you can't do that with her around."

"I can get angry," Scott said.

"Not angry enough. This is the only way that I can teach you. Now, can you stay away from her? At least until after the full moon?"

"If that's what it takes."

"Do you want to live? Do you want to protect your friends? Yes or no?"

"Yes. If you can teach me, I can stay away from her."

"Okay. Now go get your things and go home."

"Okay. C'mon Rae," he said, turning to me.

"Wait, um, can I talk to Derek really quick?"

"Um, sure. I'll be in the car," he frowned, then left.

I was silent for a moment.

"What?!" Derek snapped.

"I'm waiting for an apology."

"What for?"

"I get why you snapped at me yesterday. And if you just apologize, I'll forgive you."

"And why would I want that?" he asked, stoically.

"Oh, my god. Forget it," I frustratedly sighed, and walked away.

Okay, now I was officially done with him.

SAMANTHA STILINSKI

I was in my bed, texting Isaac.

We've been talking more, and getting closer recently. He was really sweet and funny. Most of the time we would talk about random stuff. In this instance: scarves.

I still didn't know what our relationship was. Were we more than friends? Because he did flirt with me sometimes, but he probably acts like that with other girls too. Did he just see me as a friend?

I sighed.

I wish Mom was here to help me with this stuff. Dad tries his best to be there for me, but it's not the same as having a mother.

Texting Isaac goodbye, I took out an old photo album from my closet.

The first picture was from my seventh birthday party. I wore Belle's yellow dress from Beauty and the Beast and a plastic crown. Stiles was next to me, sporting a ninja costume.

I laughed.

I remembered him insisting on being a ninja, despite Mom's pleas of wanting him to be a prince.

Scott was next to Stiles, and was wearing a pirate costume, while Rae was wearing a vampire costume.

My mom was next to me, flashing a big smile.

I'd give up everything to go back to that moment again. Everything was perfect. I still had Mom with me, and Rae was still my best friend.

"Hey," Stiles said, sticking his head into my room.

"Hey," I replied, sadly.

"Looking through old pictures again?" he winced, coming in all the way. He knew every time I took out the albums, there'd be a sob-fest.

"Everything was perfect back then. We had everything!" My eyes were full of tears.

"We did."

"What went wrong? I just want Mom back. All the other girls have moms who go shopping with them, and they talk to them about everything! I want that!" I cried.

Stiles put his arm around me. "I miss her too, Sammy…..I miss her too."

"It's so unfair!" I sobbed into his shoulder.

"Hey, you still have me and Dad. We aren't going anywhere. I'm not going anywhere," he reassured.

"You better not go anywhere! Because I swear if something happens to you…" I was interrupted by Stiles.

"I'm always going to be here for you." He smiled, "Besides, who would tame the monster that is called Samantha!"

I couldn't help my laugh.

"You're such an idiot, Stiles!" I chuckled.

"Hey, at least I made you laugh!" He gave me a goofy grin.

"How's dad?" I asked.

"He's fine. It was a minor injury," Stiles answered.

Last night, at the conference, he was hit by a car. Okay, it sounds worse than it actually was. More like bumped. A car bumped into him. But of course, I made a big deal of it.

"HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM! A CAR HIT HIM!" I yelled.

"Here we go again," Stiles rolled his eyes.

The next day, after school, I met up with Isaac at the library.

"Hey, Isaac," I greeted, taking a seat opposite from him.

"Hey," he stared at me weird.

I started feeling self-conscious, "Sorry, I look terrible. I woke up late today and didn't have time to put on makeup."

"No. You're beautiful," he kept staring.

I laughed, nervously, looking at my hands, "No-no I'm not."

"Yes, you are."

We stared at each other in silence.

Then Isaac broke the silence, "Will you go out with me?"

Author's Note:

Hey guys! Thank you so much for all of the reviews, votes/favorites, and follows. We appreciate them so much, you guys have no idea. Like we get really excited. Anyways, Isaac finally asked out Sammy! It was really fun for us to write. I know it's really far away, but I'm really excited to write about season 6. Season 6 is really intense (lol "intense" -Mod R) and super depressing. Anyways… I hope you liked this chapter!
