The next morning I got a text from Derek saying he would be at my house around 10. I hurried up and took a shower and got dressed in a black slashed t shirt with a blue tank top underneath. I put on my favorite dark jeans with a stitch design and pulled on the black boots i had worn yesterday. I brushed my hair out straight then curled the ends. I stood back and admired my work, posing girlishly in the mirror. I walked into my bedroom and picked up the emerald necklace i had taken out of my uncles room. I picked it up and walked to his dresser mirror, putting it on.

"Thank You..."i whispered to myself and started to walk away when i heard tapping at the window. Derek was standing there, grinning.

"Derek!JEEEEZ dont do that!" I screamed and jumped back. I opened up the window for him, and he crawled in.

" i told you i would be here around 10" he laughed.

" whatever..." i said and kissed him. "

we're supposed to meet the pack at the warehouse For training remember?"

"right so i guess we head over there?" i asked.

" guess so.." we walked out the front door and went over to the camaro.

" hey... where did you get that necklace?" he asked.

" oh... i found it in my uncles room it was a present from him and my parents" i responded and quickly got into the car.

" huh... birthday present?" he asked and looked at me.

" uh... No... my birthday isn't for another 4 months" i lied. My birthday was tomorrow but i hated to say anything about it because people would always ask who i was celebrating with, and when i told them just my uncle they would ask even more questions about my parents... it was just a bunch of unneeded trouble.

" oh okay... you better not be lying you know i can hear your heart beat." he noted and started the car. i looked down at my hands, debating if i should tell him.

" derek... i am only saying this because i know i can trust you not to ask questions... and because i love you" i said and he looked at me. " my birthday is tomorrow... i just never really celebrated it or told anyone else except my Uncle because he understood..." i sighed and slumped in the car seat.

" i know how you feel riley...all i had was practically my sister and somewhat of my uncle." he said and grabbed my hand. " i won't say anything" he smiled.

" thanks derek" i grinned and kissed him.

I took out my phone and texted Erica and Isaac, and we arrived at the warehouse. We waited a couple of minutes before Isaac and Erica arrived. I set up an obstacle course for them to go through. Isaac was up first. HA i would like to see them try to get through this! Isaac was up first. He front flipped over the box and leaped over some of the other things until he jumped onto a wooden pole, going towards derek but failed when he threw him to the ground. Isaac did this a few more times until he stayed on the ground for good. Erica Suddenly leaped into derek's arms, straddling him, and started to makeout with him. He threw her down.

" That is the last time you do that" he said.

" why because i am a beta?" she asked.

" No because i have a girlfriend who has every right to kick your ass and I have someone else in mind for you" he said. he looked over to me and nodded, so i walked over and slapped her in the face.

" You ever touch Him again in any way i will personally Rip your arms off and shove them down your throat" i snarled and gave her a warning look.

" Prove it" she said and stood up. I looked at derek with an eyebrow raised and he smirked.

" fine..." i said and spun around to face her. she lunged forwards, her claws missed me as i leaped out of the way and grabbed her by the arm. i flung her to the ground and jumped on top of her, putting my claws up to her neck. she tried to get out from under me but she wasn't even able to move at all. i used my other hand and dragged it down her arm, my claws digging deeply. she screamed, and i let go of her, glaring.

" Damn... i love it when you fight" derek said and pulled me in for a kiss. i laughed.

" could i try training now derek?" i asked.

" of course" he grinned. i walked to the start of the obstacle course and my eyes glowed bright green at the thought of taking down derek. i flipped over the box and ran towards the Large rounded wheel. there was a space under it, and i slid across the floor. once i was out from under it i passed through the other obstacles until i was near the pole. i made it look like i was going to swing around the pole and kick him across the room but instead i flew to the floor and kick his legs from under him making him fly backwards onto his back.I jumped on top of him and pinned his arms and legs down. I chuckled and planted a kiss on his lips. I jumped up and smirked at the two betas.

" and that is how you do it" Derek grinned.

"Are we done here? i have about a 100 bones that need a couple of hours to heal." Isaac sat up. Derek nodded and sank down to isaac's level. He motioned for Isaac to give him his arm.

"Okay." Derek snapped Isaac's arm. "101. you think i'm teaching you to fight? huh? look at me!" he shouted.

"Derek." i said calmly. He looked back at me and then to Isaac.

"I'm teaching you to survive." he dropped his arm and walked back next to me.

"Why didn't they kill us before? why are they coming for us now?" he asked."What are they waiting for?"

"I don't they are planning something. you especially know what the real problem is." he walked forward. "Whatever it is that killed Isaac's dad i think it killed someone else last night. until i learn what it is you all need to know what i know." he turned around "As fast as i can teach you."

i wrapped my arm around his and walked into the subway train. as we entered, derek suddenly pushed me up against the wall and started to kiss me.

" are we really going to do this in a subway car?" i asked.

" Yea I can't wait until we get home" he laughed.

" Sexy.. i haven't made out in a subway car before" i grinned and kissed him. he still had me pushed against the wall, and he lowered his hand down my back.

" happy early birthday" he whispered in my ear and it made me get goosebumps. he kissed my neck passionately, and i wrapped my leg around him as he lifted me up in his arms. " You know... you would look sexy as a alpha" derek said and kissed me again.

" You think so?" i grinned.

" yea..." he said and his eyes flashed red. he put me down on a clear seat and put his hand around my thigh. I Moaned a little as he Licked my neck. he raised his head, and looked down at me. " damn your sexy... i can't get enough" he said and Continued. his grip got tighter around my thigh. I suddenly heard a cough from the doorway and derek and i looked to see Boyd standing there.

" um am i interrupting something...?" he asked.

" uh No!" i said and derek and i stood away from each other. Boyd seemed to smirk and bit then turned to walk away. " wait Boyd! did you need something?" i asked.

" heh nope.. continue what you started" he laughed and walked away.

" how embarrassing..." i groaned. i stood up, adjusting my shirt and turned to look at derek.

" Sorry" he said.

" It's fine... we can Continue it later" i said and poked his chest. i walked out of the subway car and left derek standing there, his cheeks Flushed with redness. "Going to the lacrosse game! call me when you get there!" i called out to Derek.

Lucky me i live fairly close to the warehouse. I ran up to the front door and ran in. i grabbed my mustang's keys from the side table by the couch and ran back to my car. I texted Stiles asking what time the game started. the phone rang about a minute later and i picked it up.

Stiles replied "in an hour." i text back a thanks and headed toward the field. As i pulled up I noticed Allison and her grandfather sitting in the stands.

"Wonderful." i thought to myself. I stepped out of my car and took a seat next to Scott's mom.

"Hi!" i greeted.

"Hey! how are you?" she replied.

"Good and you?"

"Great thanks for asking." she smiled. i scanned the field for Scott and spotted him talking to Jackson. "How has he been so far?" i asked her.

"What?" she asked confused.

"In the game." i chuckled.

"Oh, uh good so far 42 keeps trampling over all of the players like they are nothing." i looked around for this guy and holy crap there is no way he is a high schooler. hes a beast! I heard the coach yell

"I WANNA SEE A BIRTH CERTIFICATE!" I giggled at that. i agree with the guy. 42 took down another Beacon Hills player. He rolled past us on a gurney saying

"I can't feel my legs." a player with a camera walked up beside us.

"Hes with you?" he asked Melissa.

"Oh, no mines still on the field and im over here wishing that he would have stuck with tennis." He chuckled. She looked at his camera and asked "You the yearbook photographer?"

"No uh i just take pictures." he responded.

"Oh so just lacrosse and other things?' he looked down at his camera messing with the buttons.

"anything that catches my eye." i looked over at him with a curious look, that did sound creepy as hell...he walked away without saying another word. Melissa glanced over at me with a weird look on her face.

"Strange, right?" i asked. she nodded. my phone rang and i picked it up.

"Hello?'

"hey, im here meet me at the front doors of the school." it was Derek.

"Okay, bye." i hung up.

"Hey, i have to go. have to run a quick errand. see you around." i stood from the bleachers jogged to the front doors. I spotted Derek leaning against the railing.

"Hey." i greeted. "How are we going to get inside?' i asked.

"A window." he responded.

"Oh, your specialty?" i joked. He scoffed.

"Sure." we found a window into the pool area. We got it open and climbed in.

"Why the pool area?" i asked.

"Its not like anybody is going for a late night swim." he smirked.

"True."

" do you want to continue what we didn't finish earlier?" he asked and looked at me.

" wow... first in the subway now the pool? Your romantic. also, not the best timing either..." i smiled.

" hey... trying my best here with what is available" he said. " i walked over to him and put my hand on his cheek, still smiling. i kissed him, and he put his hands around my waist. we were close to the edge of the pool but I didn't think much of it. He kissed me back without stopping and we started to get closer and closer to the pool without realizing it. then my foot slipped and i almost fell in but Derek grabbed my arm.

" Careful" he said and pulled me back.

" thanks... i didn't want to get myself wet" i grinned.

" And you mean that in what way?" he laughed.

" Shutup!" i laughed with him. we walked away from the water and sat on a bench, starting to Kiss again.I heard footsteps down the hallway.

"You serious?" i whispered. i kissed him one last time and We both stood up and walked towards the doors. to my surprise it was Erica.

"Stiles is looking for the book isn't he?' Derek asked.

"Yep saw him go into the office just now. "

"Go get him and bring him here." Derek demanded.

"Gosh can't get any privacy with all of these people." i pouted as Erica walked down the hallway. Derek Chuckled.

"I know." he pulled me into a hug and kissed the top of my head.i spotted a basketball over by one of the benches.

"Why in the world is there a basketball in a pool area?" i asked.

" i dont know. maybe they play it in the pool or something."he walked over and picked it up.

"i want to try popping one of these."he smirked.

"Oh jeez." i rolled me eyes

"What?" he chuckled. just then Erica came back into the room, dragging Stiles by the ear.

"OW...ow...ow...ow" Stiles kept repeating until she let go and stood next to me.

"Stiles" Derek said.

"Derek." he replied. Derek looked up. "What did you see at the mechanic's garage?" he questioned.

"uh, several EPA health violations that i seriously consider reporting." I raised my eyebrow and smiled. Derek brang out his claws and popped the basketball. "Oh jeez." Stiles commented. he dropped it and said. "lets try that again."

"alright, this thing was really slick looking. the skin was dark,had a pattern, uh, i think i actually saw scales. is that enough? " he asked lifting his hands up a little " I have someone else i really need to talk to." Derek looked up at him. "Ugh, alright eyes uh yellow and slitted. um, has a lot of teeth." i saw something move above us. i looked up and saw what Stiles had just described. i nudged Derek's arm. he looked up and his eye widened. "It has a tail. are we good?' i stared up at the creature. "What? have you seen it?" Stiles asked. "You have this look on your faces like you know exactly what im talking about." it crawled up onto the railing staring down at Stiles. He finally looked up and jolted backward towards me. It jumped off the railing and landed in front of Erica. Derek growled at it as it hit Erica into a wall. He put an arm in front of me to tell me to stay back. Did he really think i was going to listen. for now i guess until he gets hurt then it's really on. He yelled at Stiles to run as he did, the creature slashed at the back of my neck and I quickly grabbed for the shit...

"Riley!" As he went to my aid the creature slashed the back of his neck also. He looked around startled.i fell to the ground unable to move. The scratch must paralyze you.

"Derek, your neck!" Stiles said. Derek reached for the back of his neck and started to collapse. Stiles caught him and ran over to me. He got me up to my feet. We went down to the other side if the pools.

"where is it it can you see it?!" Derek asked.

"no! We have to get out of here! Where do we go?" Stiles asked."hurry! Call Scott!" He pulled out his phone but he dropped it forgetting Derek and I were paralyzed he let go and I fell to the floor while Derek fell Into the pool. "Stiles don't...!" Derek yelled.

"DEREK!" I shouted! "STILES get your ass in that pool and save him!" I yelled.

He looked between the water and his phone. He made the smart choice and went for Derek. They came back up to the surface.

"STILES we have to Riley we can't just leave her there whatever that is will get her!" Derek gasped.

"UGH" he swam over to the edge and quickly grabbed my outstretched arm and pulled me into the water. He got a good grip and swam back into the middle.

"What the hell are we supposed to do now?!" I asked trying to keep my head above the water. "Do you see it?" Stiles asked. I looked around.

"No."

"Maybe it ran off." We heard a horrifying sound. Derek looked at him."or not."

"Damn, you look even sexier while almost drowning and soaking wet." I giggled.

"really?" Stiles said with a disgusted look on his face. "What?" I smirked."just trying to keep the spirit up" Derek looked over at me,rolling his eyes and scowled at me.

"You mind getting us out of here before we drown?" Derek said.

"your worried about drowning instead of a thing that had multiple rows of razor sharp teeth?!" Stiles said.

"Did you realize we are paralyzed from the neck down in 8FEET OF WATER?!" Derek shouted."okay ." Stiles looked around and started swimming towards the edge of the pool.

"WAIT WAIT WAIT STOP...STOP." Derek and I was crawling around the pool like it was waiting for something."what is it waiting for?" Stiles asked. We didn't a while the thing attempted to touch the water but hissed and stepped back.

"Wait did you see that? I don't think it can swim" stiles was startin to lose his strength so we were getting lower and lower. I had to lean t head bak to keep from swallowing water. The creature kept circling the pool staring at us. "Okay I don't think I can do this much longer." Stiles said. He looked over at the phone laying near the edge d the pool.

. "NONONONONO don't even think about it!" Derek shouted." Look can you trust me for once?"

"NO"

"look I am the one keeping you guys alive okay have you noticed that?"

"yea when the paralysis wears off whose going to be able to fight that thing Riley and I or you?"

"And that's why I've been holding you up or the past 2 hours?"

"Yea and you don't trust me so I don't trust you and you need us to survive so that why you are NOT letting us go."stiles stared at Derek and I for minute before doing exactly what we didn't want him to do. He threw my arm off then Derek's.

" STILES!" I yelled. I took a deep breathe before going under the water. I looked over a Derek who was sinking to the bottom as I was. I held my breathe for as long as I could. I looked up and stiles was swimming for the phone. Ugh when I get unparalyzed. Lets just say he better watch his back. I landed next to Derek. My lungs were screaming for air. Right when they were about to give out stiles yanked my shirt and pulled me up to the surface along with Derek. "Jeez stiles you workout?" I laughed gasping for air.

"I don't think I can hold you guys up any longer I need something to hold on too." He started swimming towards the diving board. He couldn't get a grip on the handle and we slipped under the water. Great this Is where I die. I always thought my death would be meaningful but this isn't as meaningful as I thought drowning in a pool with an idiot. Just then something yanked us out of the water and onto the ground. Sweet lord baby Jesus it was Scott. He jumped down from the diving board and faced the creature who was hissing at him. He growled back and the creature whipped its tail onto Scott's leg and threw him into a mirror.

" Use the glass Scott!" i yelled. He grabbed a shard and was ready to attack when the creature just looked at its self in the piece of mirror and ran off into the glass the above the pool and flew out causing the glass to break. Meanwhile some of the paralysis wore off from the arms down. I helped Derek lean up against the diving boards and leaned against it too. I brought up my hand to touch the side of his face. "You alright?"

"Yea I can feel my arms now."

"that's a good sign right?." I chuckled. When it finally wore completely off I got up and woke Erica up who was pathetically still unconscious. I helped her to her feet and walked over to Derek. I put my hands on Each side of his face and kissed him. I leaned my forehead against his. "I'm just glad your okay." I started to tear up. "Ohh jeez." I sniffled. "Hey, it's alright." He whipped a year away with his thumb and pulled me into a hug.i held onto him tightly not wanting to let go. Scott and Stiles went outside to look at what was on the USB.

We took some time to dry off and we went outside.

"It's a kanima." Derek stated.

"And you couldn't have told us before?" Stiles said."no not before it couldn't recognize it's self in the mirror."

"So it's like us?" Scott asked.

"Yes a shapeshifter but its...it's not right it's like a.." Stiles cut him off

" an abomination?" He finished. Derek nodded. We started to walk away when Scott shouted "wait!" They had another one of them argent trust issues arguments.

" We don't even know what it is!" Scott finished. "We do know one thing. When I find it... I'm gonna kill it." Derek said an walked off. I waved bye and went after him.

" hey,meet me at my house okay? So we can continue what we didnt get to finish." I winked and walked toward my car. I hopped in and started the engine. I drove to my house and walked inside surprised to see Derek chilling on the couch. He stood up and walked towards me.

"How did you...?" He cut me off when a full on kiss on the lips. I dropped my keys and my bag and ran my hands through his hair. He lowered his hands below my butt and lifted me up. I did my part and wrapped my legs around his waist. He carried me to my room and threw me on the bed. I smiled devilishly as he took of his shirt and climbed on top of me. I sat up still kissing him and tugged at his belt. He unbuckled it and took his pants off. He slid his hands under my shirt and pulled it off. I laid backdown as he slid my pants off. I giggled And Pulled him closer and whirlwd around ao that i was on top of him i started kissing his neck leaving a hickie which probably wouldn't be there in the morning . He unhooked my bra and it went from there.
