"How could she have met Derek?" Stiles asks Scott, as they drive through the woods after leaving the Hale house, "It doesn't make sense."
Scott shrugs as he continues flipping through the files of research Stiles had done for him on Werewolves "I don't know maybe it's to get to me. I mean we do live together."

"But he would rub it in your face, like he did with Allison." Stiles points out as worry fills him, Derek was dangerous and he didn't like the idea of him around Buffy, it scared him that she would get hurt. No matter what he feels for her, she was his best and longest friend, he couldn't stand it if she got hurt cause of this werewolf crap.

Scott groans "It has to do with whatever she's not telling us, he knows something about her, her said he saved her life, so he clearly knows what she's gotten herself involved with." Scott pauses in their talk about Buffy as he realizes the papers in front of him were pretty much useless "I can't find anything about wolfsbane being used for burial."

"Just keep looking." Stiles tells him as an idea occurs to him "Maybe it's like a ritual, like maybe they bury you as a wolf. Or maybe it's like a special skill. You know, like something you have to learn."

Scott finds himself dazing in and out as Stiles speaks, it felt like his chest was tightening in on itself "I'll put it on my to-do list." He huffs out "Right underneath, how to protect Buffy from Derek and figure out how the hell I'm playing this game tonight."

Stiles not noticing how pale Scott was getting merely continues to babble out ideas "Maybe it's different for girl werewolves."
"Okay, stop it." Scott snaps not wanting to hear about anything werewolf related for at least one second.
Stiles frowns in confusion at Scott's attitude "Stop what?"
"Stop saying werewolves!" Scott snaps loudly "Stop enjoying this so much."

Stiles frowns again as he watches his friend, something was definitely wrong "Are you okay?"
"NO!" Scott grunts out in pain "No, I'm not. I'm so far from being okay."
"You know, you're gonna have to accept this, Scott. Sooner or later."

As Stiles speaks Scott panics he could feel his heartbeat quickening to dangerous paces "I can't..."
"Well, you're gonna have to."
"No!" He screams in pain "I can't breathe."

As Scott begins crying out in agony and growling Stiles panics only for his eyes to fall on the Wolfsbane as Scott pulls it out of his bag before looking at him angrily "You kept it?"
"What was I supposed to do with it?"
Scoff grunts again before growling and turning to Stiles flashing his eyes at him "Stop the car!"

Stiles exclaims in frustration as the female deputy hangs up on him after he called the station asking if they had seen Scott or more precisely a dog type man.
Grabbing his phone again he quickly dials another number.

"Hello?" Buffy asks causing Stiles to sigh in relief "Buffy, please, please tell me your still with my dad?"
"Ahhh..." She drawls out making him bang his phone against his head several times before bringing it back to his ear "Is that a no?"

"He just dropped me off..." Stiles frowns as he hears a male voice calling her, a voice he didn't recognise, however before he could question her she began babbling "Sti—stiles, I gotta go, community service and all, later."

"Wait Buffy—" He tries only to yell and toss his phone in the passengers seat, she had hung up on him, which means he was on his own trying to find Scott.

"Sorry, Stiles." Buffy tells Deaton as she turns back to face her Watcher as they sit his office at the animal clinic.
"What time does the party start?"
Buffy thinks back for a minute "The seniors will be there early so my guess not long after sun down."

Deaton nods before standing "Then we need to get there. The sunset isn't long away and once the moon reaches it's peak the feeding will begin.

As they begin heading towards the door Buffy glances at him "I gotta make a stop. Won't take long."
"What for?" Deaton asks in confusion.
Buffy shrugs simply "Supplies."

Stiles eyes fill with relief and worry as he walks into the locker room and there getting his trainers on his Scott.
Scott looks over at him before turning his attention back to his laces "You going to try to convince me not to play?"

Stiles sighs in worry, he really didn't know what to say to that but after what Derek had said to him it just made him worry that this was going to end horribly wrong "I just hope you know what you're doing."
"If I don't play, I lose first line and Allison."

At his words Stiles feels his frustration grow, Scott's worries about Allison were all in his head "Allison's not going anywhere. And it's one game that you really don't need to play."
"I wanna play!" Scott exclaims suddenly "I wanna be on the team. I wanna go out with Allison. I want a semi-freaking-normal-life."

Stiles exhales softly before nodding "I get it." He breaths before sitting down next to him on the bench "Just try not to worry too much while you're out there, okay? Or get too angry."
Stiles nods "I got it."
"Or too stressed."
Scott sighs "I got it."

"Don't think about Allison being in the stands." Stiles says not realising that he was making things worse as he continues "Or that her father is trying to kill you. Or that Derek's trying to kill you. Or the girl and guy he killed, or that you might kill someone. If a hunter doesn't kill you first." At Scott's horrified look he winces "I'm sorry, I'll stop."

As the last rays of light are streaming into her room Buffy walks inside and begins going through her closest.
"Buffy?" Melissa says as she enters the room and smiles "You ready?"

Buffy's eyes widen and she winces slightly "Um...I can't go to Scott's game tonight."
Melissa frowns in confusion clearly not happy "And why not?"

Buffy opens her mouth and gulps slightly as she pulls on her large leather jacket, unable to think of something, Melissa groans in worry before looking at Buffy seriously "I got a call from your principal. Says you missed some classes today."

Buffy stops going through her closest and turns to face her "I was...running an errand."
Melissa looks down and shakes her head in disappointment "You've not even finished unpacking and I'm getting calls about you skipping classes."

Buffy frowns upset, she didn't like doing this to Melissa but what was she supposed to do it's not she could tell her the truth "Melissa, I'm not doing what I did in L.A, I'm promise. But I can't go tonight."
"No." Melissa says suddenly causing Buffy's eyes to widen in shock, she could not believe this.

"Melissa..." She panics as she spots the sun going down.

Melissa sighs and steps forward placing comforting hands on the upset teenager's shoulders "Buffy, look I've learnt with Scott that sometimes I need to say no, and I know everything is life or death when you're a sixteen year old girl but—"
"Melissa, I don't have time to talk about it—"
Melissa cuts her off, giving the girl a firmer hand "We can talk on the way to the game and after, but you are not getting out of this. This is important to him."

Buffy clenches her jaw and sighs, "Can I have a minute to grab my stuff?"
Melissa nods smiling at the young girl "I'll be in the car, but Buffy one minute and then I am coming to get you."

Buffy nods and as Melissa leaves her room closing the door quietly but firmly behind her Buffy quickly sends a text to Deaton telling him she was running late.

Groaning she leans against her wall before finally turning back to her closest and pulling out the large blue trunk.

As she opens it she lifts up the top of it revealing, garlic, holy water and her own collection of weapons hidden underneath the makeup and clothes.
Tossing the holy water and crosses into her bag she pulls out her favourite stake, slipping it into her sleeve before closing the trunk and standing just as the car honks from the front.

Groaning she makes her way downstairs, knowing that this was going to be a long night.

As Scott and Stiles nervously make their way onto the field ready for the game, their eyes fall on Melissa who was dragging a very unhappy Buffy by the arm.

Melissa grins happily as she spots her son before nudging Buffy, who turns away from her phone and smiles at her two friends before her eyes fill with panic as she checks her messages.

Stiles glances over at Scott, both of them frowning at the sight, it seemed like the two of them weren't the only ones in trouble with something tonight.

"Scott." Lydia says angrily making him gasp in shock as she appears in front of him and yanks him towards her "I just want you to remember one thing for tonight." She warns.
Scott frowns in confusion "Uh, winning isn't everything?"
Lydia chuckles before dusting off his jersey and looking back up at him with doe eyes "Nobody likes a loser."

As the game goes on Buffy can't enjoy it, she could feel her phone vibrating every minute with messages from Deaton.
Sighing she looks up and her eyes widen as she spots Jackson force Scott to the ground, "Aren't they on the same team?" Melissa asks her.
Buffy nods before glaring at Jackson, she was so gonna kick his ass later, rolling her eyes her eyes widen as she spots Allison now helping Lydia hold up a massive We Luv U Jackson.

Buffy's eyes fill with annoyance and she glances down at Stiles who had the exact same thought running through his head, that was seriously gonna destroy Scott.

Buffy clenches her fist as she glances up at the sky, it wouldn't be long before The Harvest begun, glancing down back at the field her eyes widen as she spots Scott leap into the air "Wooo!" She screams loudly temporary distracted in her worry for her excitement for her best friend.

As he scores Melissa and her scream again and hug each other before Buffy smiles and quickly turns back.
She lets out an amused breath as the opposite team literally hands Scott the ball, what the hell just happened?

"Go Scott Go!" She and Melissa scream as Scott runs forward and actually scores the shot tying the game up.

"Woo!" Buffy screams loudly before her phone rings loudly, "I'll be right back." Buffy says distractedly to Melissa who was now too lost in excitement for her son to argue.
Running down the steps of the benches she manages to disappears into the crowd just as Scott shoots the winning shot.

"Buffy!" Stiles yells joyfully as he runs over to the distracted blonde and lifts her off her feet "We won!" He yells making her laugh before she frowns "One sec Sti."

Stiles shakes his head in amusement and shock from their win, they had won, this was awesome.
He face quickly falls as he spots Buffy's eyes widening in horror "Buffy? Buff?"

"I'm coming now, whatever you do don't let them see you. I can run!" She says quickly into the phone before she hangs up and grabs her bag off the floor.

"Buffy, hey what's wrong?" Stiles asks in confusion only for Buffy to run off towards the woods, pushing players out of the way as she ran faster than he had seen anyone run, even Scott.

Stiles' eyes widen "Buffy!" He screams as he watches her before groaning "What the hell?"
Before he could go after her though his father turns to him as he hangs up his phone "Stiles."

"Get in!" Deaton yells as he drives up next to Buffy forcing the passenger door open so she could jump in without stopping.
"We're too late, the ritual's begun." Deaton informs her and she glares at him incredulously "How was I supposed to know Melissa would force me to go to the game!"

As they speed for the rough terrain of the woods Buffy grabs her bag and hands it to Deaton "Here, take this."

Deaton takes the bag not really needing it, his entire vehicle was laced in mountain ash but better save than sorry with these creatures. They were like ants where one went another three appeared in it's place.

Buffy's eyes widen as they pull into the large clearing and she immediately spots Luke dropping a body to the ground.

"Every soul brings him closer." Luke yells allowing Buffy to hear just as they pull up.

Buffy frowns before her eyes land on the symbol on his forehead, all of the pieces clicking together "The vessel."
Deaton spins the car on a hard right hitting several vamps sending them flying.

Buffy smirks before opening her window and pulling herself onto the roof of the car so she could glare down at Luke "Oh, I'm sorry. Were you in the middle of something?"
Luke's eyes widen as his eyes fall on her, The Slayer. "You!"
Buffy smirks down at him "You didn't think I'd miss this, did you?"
Luke almost grins murderously as he imagines drinking the blood of a Slayer "I'd hoped you'd come."

"Be right down." The Slayer says with a grin, stepping back slightly she leaps off the car flipping through the air before landing on the muddy ground while the drunk seniors around her backed away, the only thing keeping them from running were the vampires surrounding them.

As she lands a vampire begins running at her, leaping into a front hand spring she grabs a large branch off the ground and as her body comes back to a straight angle she drives the large wooden branch into the vampire's chest without even glancing at him.

"Okay, Vessel-boy. You want blood?" She asks as she pulls her jacket off tossing it through the window of Deaton's car. While the vampire drops to the ground beside her with a thud, not even making her flinch.

Luke pushes the scared shivering girl he was currently holding away as his eyes focus on only Buffy "I want yours. Only yours."
Buffy smirks and tilts her head challenging him "Then come and get it."

Stiles smiles as Allison pulls away from kissing the now very cheerful Scott and heads out of the locker room leaving the two boys alone.

Scott who now had the world's biggest grin on his face slowly dazzlingly walks over to Stiles "I kissed her." He says dreamily almost high on the feeling.
"I saw." Stiles says really not wanting to have to ruin the moment for his best friend.
"She kissed me."
Stiles nods happy for his friend "I saw that too." Pausing he smiles sadly "It's pretty good, huh?"

Scott sighs happily before stammering "I don't know how, but I controlled it. I pulled it back. Maybe I can do this. Maybe it's not that bad."
Stiles sighs, he really didn't want to have to do this "Yeah, we'll talk later then." He didn't want to ruin the moment for Scott, he could figure out where Buffy went and the stuff his dad had told him tonight, and Scott could stay like this for a few more hours.

As he attempts to leave Scott grabs his shoulder "What?"
"I have bad news and worse news."
Scott frowns "What's the bad?"
Stiles sighs "The, uh, medical examiner looked at the other half of the body we found."

"And?" Scott asks curiously, he thought they were done with this, Derek was in jail, it should be over with.
"Well, I'll keep it simple. Medical examiner determines killer of girl and guy to be animal, not human. Derek is human, not animal. Derek not killer. Derek let out of jail."

Scott's eyes widen in horror, this could not be happening "Are you kidding?"

"No, and here's a bigger kick in the ass my dad ID'd the dead girl, both halves. Her name was Laura Hale."
"Hale?"
"Derek's sister." Stiles confirms, knowing they were totally screwed now but that wasn't the worst part "Okay now onto the worst news."

"I thought that was it!" Scott exclaims as he frowns, how could it get any worse?

Stiles groans, "Derek's out of jail...and Buffy took off towards the woods. If you were right about Derek's scent being on her then..."
Scott's eyes widen in panic "We gotta find her! Now!"

Buffy runs and leaps at Luke, cart wheeling through the air causing her legs to hit him in the face making him stumble backwards. As she stands back up she slams her fist into his face, this one really causing him to stumble back in pain.

As he stumbles Buffy turns back to Deaton "Now!" She screams causing Deaton to nod as he pulls out a hose and begins driving in a circle around all the vampires hitting them with holy water, either sending them running or bursting into flames before settling into dust.

"Everyone go!" Deaton yells out his window to all the kids who quickly stumble to the road. before he glances at Buffy knowing the final part of the plan is set off he signals at her.

Buffy ducks under Luke's arm and comes back up with a roundhouse kick to his face before glancing at Deaton "Go!" She tells him knowing that they needed to make sure all the vamps stayed off the scrambling kids "I got this!" She assures him when he hesitates, as she backhands Luke knocking him away from her.

"Now!" She screams and with a final nod he speeds off towards where all the teens had run to make sure they got to the town and didn't get caught by the surviving Vampires.

Luke swings his arm at her but Buffy manages to block it and she quickly brings her leg up to his stomach before raising her Stake.

Quickly however he overpowers her and sends her flying backwards, expecting to go flying into a tree Buffy's eyes widen in shock as she lands on top of a car windshield.
Looking into the window she screams as do Scott and Stiles.

"What are you guys doing here?!" She screams.
"Looking for you!" They scream only to scream again as she is yanked off the car and tossed into a tree.

"Buffy!" Stiles calls as him and Scott scramble out of the jeep only to scream again as Luke turns to them "What the hell is that?!" Stiles screams as he practically falls into Scott's arms.

"No!" Buffy yells as she runs at Luke hoping to protect her best friends, flipping through the air again she kicks Luke in the face before backhanding him sending him flying through the air and into a nearby tree.
"Wow." Stiles breaths while him and Scott remain frozen, too in shock to do anything.

Buffy takes a breath before she realises where their car was parked, the fake light Deaton had set up was now crushed underneath.

Her eyes widen in panic before suddenly Luke's arms wrap around her mid section completely cutting off her circulation, making it impossible for her to breath.
Scott and Stiles panic and Scott growls his eyes flashing yellow as he runs forward only for Luke to thrust his foot forward sending Scott rolling to the ground.

Buffy groans in pain as she feels Luke practically crushing her ribs one by one "I've always wanted to kill a Slayer." Luke breaths into her ear only to growl as a rock hit's his forehead.

Buffy's eyes widen as she spots Stiles launch another rock at Luke's face, quickly lifting her head, she slams it into Luke's sending him stumbling off her.
As he stumbles backwards nearer to Stiles' jeep Buffy turns to Stiles "Turn on your engine!"

"What?" He asks stills completely in shock but when she glares at him he gulps before leaping into his car and quickly putting the keys in waiting for her to give him the signal.

"You cannot escape." Luke laughs as he spots her friend leaping into the car.

Buffy merely glares at him as she still attempts to catch her breath, grabbing a knife out of her back pocket she raises it towards him only making him chuckle "You know metal cannot hurt me."

"There's something you forgot about to." Buffy tells him smugly "Sunrise." Launching the knife at him hitting him in the stomach he cowers to his knees just as Buffy turns to Stiles "Now!" She screams causing him to switch on his car bringing on the bright lights.

The minute the light hits the cowering Luke, he begins screaming only to realise a moment later that he wasn't burning.
Before he could laugh however Buffy comes up behind him and drives her stake into his back, as he grunts she smirks "It's in about 9 hours moron."

Luke pulls away from her grunting in agony before he collapses to the ground and bursts into dust.

Buffy stands over his remains just as a few of Luke's remaining followers approach however the second she looks up at them with darkness in her eyes, they take off running.

Slowly Buffy sighs in relief and turns around to her two best friends, waiting for the questions.

Stiles helps Scott stand before the two of them face Buffy in utter shock, how the hell did any of that just happen.

Stiles looks up at Buffy who smiles nervously and says the only thing he could think of in that moment "You're a werewolf!"
Buffy arches a brow before groaning "Oh God."
