Piper - Haha I'm glad that your still liking this and thank you...also I won't let Derek be attracted to her, I can tolerate Erica but sometimes I don't like her.
Valda spent the day cleaning her bedroom. It was a couple of days after the rave and things were all quiet, like a storm was brewing and coming. Her dad was at work so she had the place to herself, making it easier and quickly to clean up the place. When she was done, she locked up the house and made her way to the hideout, bumping into Scott on his way out and her way in. She looked at his retreating figure and saw Derek sitting on a crate, "Why was he here?" Valda quizzed as she walked down the steps, taking off her coat and placing it on the crate. "We were talking about how we can't even injure the Kanima, let alone kill him. He then suggests to leave the Kanima to the Argents, but I told him how I can't do that. I turned Jackson, so it's my job to sort him out." Valda nodded at his reply and jumped up onto the crate to sit next to her mate. "We will deal with him. Your mistakes are now my mistakes." Derek smirked and entwined her hand with his, "You sound like we're married." Valda laughed and simply replied, "Well, being mates and all, most of the time it does feel like that."
They sat there a bit longer when Valda spoke up, "I've been invited to Lydia's birthday party tonight. I was gonna go, but then I remembered that it's a full moon so I was planning on helping you tonight with the pack." Derek shook his head as soon as she said that, "No, if one of them gets out of control and lashes out on you, you could get bitten and I don't want to deal with that. No, go to the part and make sure Scott and Stiles behaves. Oh, also make sure Jackson does as well and see if you can find anything closer to who the master of the Kanima is." Valda nodded and the leaders stood up as the three betas walked into the hideout.
Derek pulled a crate and dropped it onto the floor, opening it and revealing chains and other types of equipment Valda guessed was restraints for the werewolves. "Firstly, I know I should have prepared you guys for your first full moons, but we haven't had time for obvious reasons." Derek said and picked up some chains. Isaac picked up one of the head gears and asked, "What is this?" Derek gave him a look and replied, "Something painful." Erica leaned against the entry of the cart and said, "Good thing I had my period last week." I scoffed and Isaac smirked. Derek just sent her a glare then held up the head gear Isaac just asked, "You, will be wearing this." He motioned to Erica and she smirk soon turned to a frown.
As the betas started to go into the carriage, Valda quickly grabbed Derek and said softly, "I'm gonna go back to my house. Get ready for the party. But call me if you need help." Derek smirked and nodded at her strict command. "I will, not go have some fun." Valda smiled and kissed Derek on the lips, then grabbing her jackets and walking out the hideout to go get ready.

Three hours later Valda had arrived at Lydia's house. She was using Derek's car as he must have slipped the car keys into he pocket when she had kissed him goodbye. She stepped out of the car and locked it, walking up the pathway and knocking on the door. The music already sounded loud and that there was a lot of people here from the talking and laughter that she could hear. The door opened and Lydia was there, holding a tray in her free hand with glasses of punch in, like a waitress. "Happy Birthday Lydia." Valda commented smiling, handing her bag of presents, consisting of two bracelets, a necklace and three dresses to Lydia. She smiled and accepted the bag, "Thank you Val, here, have some punch." Valda accepted the drink and watched Lydia shut the door and walk away.
Valda walked through the house and as she was about to take a sip of the drink, she looked round to see everyone acting weird, like they were high. She sniffed the drink and could smell the alcohol and fruity punch, yet, she could also smell a strange herby smell. She took another sniff and then remembered the smell from somewhere. "No." She whispered as the smell reminded her of the wolfsbane from Derek's wound nearly a year ago. Valda quickly walked over to the punch bowl to confirm her theory, seeing wolfsbane petals floating in the punch.

Valda walked through the house, looking for Scott. She soon found him on the landing of the second floor landing. He was in his werewolf form and growling as the window seat, making Valda guess that he was hallucinating. "Scott? Scott snap out of it!" Valda shouted and shook him, slapping him across the face which seemed to work. She slowly changed back and stared at Valda to whisper, "Val?" She nodded and he wiped his forehead with his jacket sleeve. "Where's Stiles?" Valda questioned quickly. Scott looked round and was back to his senses. "I don't know, c'mon help me find him." Valda nodded and the teens took of down the stairs.
They looked through the rest of the house and no luck until they reached the patio and saw Stiles sitting on the edge of the pool. The two run to him. "Stiles. Stiles snap out of it." Scott urged and shook him but grabbing his clothes. "Your doing it wrong." Another teenager come up to us and Valda recognizes her as Danielle. "What do you mean?" Scott asked. "You do this." She replied and grabbed Stiles and dunked his head into the pool, he lashed out for couple of seconds but was pulled back up, gasping and shaking his head, throwing some droplets at us. Valda chuckled and nodded her head in thanks to Danielle, who smiled and walked away.
The trio watch as the party slowly loses control and there was no sign of Lydia or Allison for that matter. Valda remembered that her phone was in Derek's car. "I'm going to go get my phone." She informed the boys who insisted to come with. The trio were about to go outside when they heard someone screaming, "No! No, don't push me in! No!" They looked round as they saw someone get thrown in and everyone around laughed and pointed. However it died down as Jackson stepped out of the crowd and grabbed the flailing arms and pulled the body out to reveal Matt. He sent us a deadly glare before walking away and Valda felt as though the penny dropped.
People started to run as police sirens could be heard. The trio walked out of the house and as the boys were heading to Stiles' jeep and Valda to Derek's car when they heard a hiss. They looked round to see the Kanima in form and crouching, with its tails around Matt. Valda and the boys saw that Matt was the master. People quickly ran past but when they were gone, the Kanima and Matt were gone.

Valda drove to the hideout and quickly ran in. "Derek? Guys?" She called out and ran into the cab. She saw Boyd and Erica knocked out and slumped against either the rails or walls. However she saw Isaac awake yet in werewolf form. "Where's Derek?" Isaac looked at her and replied, "I don't know, all I could see was Lydia here and blew purple stuff at Derek who got knocked out and Lydia took him somewhere. It was like she was under a spell or something." Valda nodded and saw Helenus. "Where have you been?" Valda questioned. "I had to quickly go back to Chicago to tie up loose ends. Sorry 'bout that." Valda waved her hand with a smirk, "No worries, but can you stay here with these guys?" Helenus nodded and walked into the cart and sat opposite Isaac, who managed to take her hand and stroke it, being gentle with his claws. Valda saw it all but didn't comment as she ran out to find Derek.
Valda searched most of the forest and ended up at the Hale house. She ran inside and into the living room to see Lydia shaking uncontrollably in the corner, staring wide-eyed at the now alive and moving yet naked Peter Hale who was in the hold of the floor. Valda ran to Derek who was clutching his healing arm and was to staring at Peter, "Hello Val. Long time no see huh?" Peter asked with a smirk.
