Thank you so much for all the reviews. Here is Chapter 35 and I hope you all like it. I never really do song lyrics, but this part of the lyric really inspired me for a lot of this story. It may not seem obvious now, but as you read on the next few chapters it will maybe make more sense. It's also to do with the story and Alexia herself. Anyway, read and review. Love you all :)

"Ohhh the reason I hold on
Ohhh cause I need this hole gone
Funny you're the broken one but i'm the only one who needed saving
Cause when you never see the lights it's hard to know which one of us is caving"

Stay - Mikky Ekko and Rihanna.

The fact that she was in Derek's room stopped her from causing mass destruction. She couldn't do that to him, but keeping all her emotions inside her was not a good idea either. She was likely to explode at any given moment.

Alexia had never really had someone truly hate her before. There were people from school that she didn't like, but it never got so far that she hated them. This was a completely different matter, though. She had completely betrayed Stiles by making out with his "alpha", who is almost like a brother/father/teacher to him. How messed up had she got? Derek may only be 5 years older than her, but the five years between them and the five years between any human couple were completely different.

She blamed herself. She could tell Derek blamed her too, from the cold-shoulder treatment she had received from him anyway. Maybe he blamed himself too, but the majority of the blame should be placed on her. She had toyed with both boys unintentionally, but she should have never done anything.

The other funny thing about rejection, though in this case it was more of a serious rejection, is that it makes you realise how much you care about one person. Alexia truly did care about Stiles, she thought they were great friends and she did have feelings for him. A tiny part of her was in love with him too, but why had she taken so long to realise it?

Knock knock.

"Derek sent me up."

Alexia snapped her head up to see Erica standing at the door. The blonde werewolf smiled and came and sat down on the bed beside Alexia. Concern was etched on her face.

"I'm kinda in shock too, you know? I mean, this isn't a very 'Stiles' thing to do. I don't know why on earth he ran off to become a hybrid, but hey there's no point upsetting yourself, sweetie."

The unlikely friendship that had blossomed between her and Erica was perhaps the most surprising thing. Erica seemed to be longing for a girl-friend and Alexia was the perfect match. They really did get along and Erica always seemed to know what to do. This time was really no exception.

Alexia brushed the tears from her cheek. "I blame myself. I know that maybe it's not about me, but I really upset him and he ran off and now..."

Suddenly everything clicked into place.

"Uh, Alexia? What are you doing?"

But Alexia had no time for questions. She jumped up out of bed and ran down the stairs where the pack was sitting, minus Stiles. They all looked surprised to see her and slightly worried.

"Ruby," she said, addressing the other witch. "Remember the day I got kidnapped by Levi and the vampires. Stiles told you to come with him to the woods and you went with him. What did he tell you?"

Ruby's eyes narrowed. "What? Eh, well he just said that he came across their scent, but he didn't wanna involve you or Derek because he had fallen out with you two. Why? What's this got to do with anything?"

Alexia grabbed her hair in frustration, yelling out in anger.

"I was upstairs with Erica and suddenly everything clicked. We know that the only people able to 'turn' Stiles into a vampire are Levi, right? So we must assume that Stiles is now with Levi and the others... but why? That's what I've been wondering."

Scott cut in. "What? I know my best friend, he wouldn't-"

"Oh trust me you don't know what anyone would do, Scott. We have heightened senses, but we can't predict the future." Said Derek.

"Anyway, let me finish. So the day I was kidnapped, he and Ruby went to the woods knowing that if I found out what was going on, I would certainly go to "help". Levi kidnapped me and he used wolfsbane on me to find out what my deepest desires were. They involved Stiles, but not to the extent that he wanted. That's what Levi meant about 'distractions'..." She paused and mulled it over. "When all of you went back here to make a plan, Stiles ditched you all and I'm sure that he joined Levi. He was turned into a hybrid. A half vampire, half werewolf and I'm sure that they needed me for that."

Allison chirped up. "But you were unconscious. You couldn't have performed magic, so you weren't needed. They just want you to join them, but you won't."

"Wait guys. Holy crap I should have realised before." Ruby spoke, her voice filled with panic. "You're one of the Totem Orbem. Oh my God, why didn't we protect you more?"

All of their heads snapped round to look at Ruby; each one of them had the same panicked expression on their face.

Ruby spoke again. "Derek, don't you know what I'm talking about? Her blood, it's special. No wonder they needed her."

Alexia's eyes narrowed. "My blood? I'm a witch. I can't turn into a vampire or werewolf or anything, you told me that."

"Yes, she did, but not for one of the Orbem. Your blood is like a potent binding agent. They need some of it and vampire blood for a werewolf to be turned into a hybrid. It was an old legend that my uncle Peter told me about once. I thought nothing of it because I never thought I would meet one of the Orbem." Said Derek.

Alexia's breathing became shallow. "So you're telling me that they needed some of my blood to turn Stiles into a hybrid? Is there anything else it can do? Cure cancer? Make gold?"

Derek spoke up. "Well, technically your blood does possess healing powers along with a vampire's. So, uh, yes..."

"And Stiles knew this? Of course he did, he knew everything about me. Jeez, why did he do this? Is this what he always wanted or something? To become a big bad monster? To use his friend's blood unwillingly to become a freaking hybrid?"

Erica patted her on the back. "We don't know that for certain, okay? Something weird could be going on; we just have to go with everything for now. Stiles has left us and we have to let him go."

We have to let him go. I have to let him go. I have to let him go. I have to let him... I can't let him go.

Alexia turned to pleading. "How can you let him go so easily? Why have you all given up? This is Stiles we're talking about okay? A week ago he was lying on my bed..."

Derek cut in. "Well maybe that's the problem."
