Also thank you so so so much for the love, please keep it coming!

"Catalina Danvers, please report to the guidance counselors office."

Cat glanced up at the nearest speaker for the PA before hiking her bag up higher on her shoulder as she made her way to Ms. Morrell's office. She hoped this wasn't anything about Lydia, right now her plate was completely filled up with everything that was going on and as much as she liked Lydia, she didn't know what more she could handle.

"You wanted to see me?" She asked, poking her head through the open doorway.

Ms. Morrell smiled warmly at her as she motioned her inside. "Hi Cat, you were so good to help me out with Lydia so I wanted to return the favor."

Cat's brow furrowed as she sat down. "What do you mean?"

The counselor gave her a sympathetic look. "I want to let you know about something that happened. Gerard held a faculty meeting about the trashed library and he's holding you responsible for it."

"What?" Cat asked in disbelief. "Why me?"

"He was saying something about how you should've been keeping him informed about certain student activities."

Cat was utterly and completely stunned, for a brief moment. Then she was beyond pissed. "Are you kidding me? The nerve of that… asshole." Realizing what she had just said, she looked up at Ms. Morrell, who only smiled, nodding in agreement.

"I agree. Mr. Harris actually tried to lay on the grenade for you, he said it was his fault for leaving the detention unsupervised but Gerard wouldn't hear it. That's the first time I've ever heard Harris stick up for a student, by the way. You must really be one of his favorites."

Cat laughed. "You've got to be kidding me. He can't even get my name right."

"Well he seems to like you. The library is going to have to undergo thousands of dollars in repairs but I don't think you and your friends have much to worry about in terms of secrets getting revealed. The camera angles didn't show exactly what happened, most of it happened behind the stacks."

Cat's eyes narrowed suspiciously, once again getting the strange feeling that Ms. Morrell knew far more then she let on. Seeing her suspicious look, the counselor only gave her a knowing smile.

"Look Cat, obviously I didn't call you here to talk about some scattered books."

"I didn't think so." Cat softly replied.

Ms. Morrell gave a nod. "Let's just cut to the chase then, shall we? You're in over your heads. You and all your friends are in way over your heads."

Cat merely lifted an eyebrow.

"And I know you didn't ask for my advice, but I'm giving it to you anyway." Ms. Morrell's smile changed to one of sympathy. "Follow your heart."

Cat blinked, completely taken by surprise.

"I know, I know, that doesn't sound like advice, it sounds like something your grandmother would embroider on a cushion but it's sound advice." She leaned across the desk, closer to the student in front of her. "In every disagreement, in every argument, in every war, both sides believe they are one hundred percent right and the other side is one hundred percent wrong. That's almost never the case. So follow your heart and at least you'll be doing the thing that's one hundred percent right for you."

"How do you know… anything?" Cat asked.

Ms. Morrell leaned back in her chair. "I'm the guidance counselor, it's my job to know things about my students. Good luck, Cat. With everything. And please remember, my door is always open."

Sensing that the conversation was open, Cat stood up and left the office. She briefly wondered if she should be worried about Ms. Morrell but figured the woman meant no harm and she should focus on other things.

As she entered the throng of students, she was jostled by someone. She stumbled, momentarily glad that she had given up those ridiculous high heels and stuck with runners or chances were, she would be on the ground but as luck would have it, someone grabbed her, quickly righting her. She quickly caught a glimpse of the locker room before the hand released her and she saw the back of Scott's head moving through the crowd. She let out a small sigh, hurrying to her locker before grabbing Allison and dragging her to their designated meeting place.

"I have a new phone." Allison told her. "And I brought my laptop, do you think you can do it?"

Cat smiled and nodded, grabbing a headband out of her bag to push her hair back. "While the guys talk, give me five minutes and I'll get it done."

"Did you practice anymore?"

Another nod. "I like it. It's very…."

"Soothing?" Allison finished for her with a small laugh. "I've always felt the same way. Have you decided what you're wearing to Lydia's yet?"

Cat scrunched her nose. "I hadn't thought of that. I have this really cute red dress I haven't worn." Erica had picked it out for her and now she wondered if this was why, the werewolf thinking ahead, knowing full well when the full moon was.

"That would look cute. Red does look great on you."

"What about you?" Cat asked.

"Not yet, Lydia said she had some dresses she wanted me to check out."

"So you guys are okay?" Cat asked. "Did she tell you about the new guy?"

"Yes and good for her. No more Jackson. She needs a good decent guy and well Jackson is kind of-"

"A snake?" Cat snickered as they entered the locker room and sat down on a bench in front of the guys, taking Allison's laptop and phone.

"What's going on?" Stiles asked.

"Cat's giving me privacy." Allison replied with a big smile.

Cat nodded. "Yes, but keep talking, I can multitask."

"Right." Scott said. "So no new front with the Omega, she's still not budging. Anyone in your family say anything?" He asked Allison.

She shook her head. "My grandfather is being creepy calm about the whole thing. I feel like there must be something else on his mind."

"The trashed library?" Stiles suggested.

Allison shook her head. "Maybe, but I doubt it. I don't think the school is really that big a deal to him."

"Plus, he's told all the staff that he blames me for what happened." Cat piped up.

"What?" Allison asked in disbelief. "Are you serious?"

"Pretty much my reaction. Ms. Morrell told me and can I just say I think that woman knows more than she lets on."

"But why would Gerard blame you?" Allison asked. "It doesn't make sense."

"Probably because he has something else on his mind and needs a scapegoat. Truth is, I haven't been in the office since the day after the rave. He's probably a little pissed."

"Why haven't you?" Stiles asked.

"Because I don't want to anymore."

The other three exchanged a look, worried still over Cat's behavior. Scott knew the reason now but hadn't shared what he had learned.

"Just as I suspected." Cat announced. "Allison, your computer has been hacked. Everything is being seen by someone else… until now." She hit a few more keys before looking up with a grin. "I do enjoy a challenge."

"No, you enjoy hacking." Stiles told her. "One minute does not a challenge make."

"Speak for yourself Stiles." She hooked up Allison's phone to her laptop.

"I can do that too." Stiles grumbled.

Cat glanced up at him with a grin. "want a turn?"

"No, we're talking about the Omega and how now would be the perfect time to get the Omega out of town if he's distracted. By anything. I mean, did you tell her the hunters know about her?"

"I did. I begged her to run, Deaton begged her to run." Scott informed them.

"What are we going to do?" Stiles asked.

Cat looked up from the laptop. "I want to meet her."

"No." Scott vehemently replied.

Cat rolled her eyes, turning back to the computer and the other three looked at each other again, waiting for her to argue, surprised when she didn't. Cat knew that Derek would take her if she asked. Ever since that day she had tried to make Scott feel exactly what she was feeling she had been working with the other pack members to get it to actually work. She knew she would be able to, she could feel it right on the edge that day with Scott. Now, it was still rough, they would only get flashes but what if she could make the Omega see what would happen if she stayed?

"I have to let her go." Scott said. "That's the only thing a werewolf can do."

Allison sighed before softly countering "Gerard's going to kill her, it's the only thing a hunter can do."

"Then I can at least give her a head start."

"And if she goes after Allison?" Stiles asked.

"I'll stay with Allison." Scott said.

Cat let out a snort of derision. "You can't do both."

"And I can take care of myself, can't I Cat?" Allison asked.

"I'll stay with Allison." Cat said. "I mean, sure, she's way better than me but at least this way, we can have each other's back."

Allison contemplated this as Cat went back to work on the phones. "I can deal with that."

"I'll keep trying to get her to leave but we need more help."

"What kind of help?" Stiles asked. "Werewolf help? Derek's not going to help you with this. He's made that quite clear."

"I know Derek's not going to take her into the pack, but some of his wolves felt sorry for her."

"That's a bit presumptuous of you." Cat said, unplugging everything and handing Allison the phones before doing the same with her laptop.

"Can you find out?" Scott asked her.

"Why do you think Cat would have a better idea of the pack?" Allison asked.

Scott and Cat exchanged a look.

"What?" Stiles asked.

"Nothing." Cat replied. "Erica is my friend, actually they all are, in fact, Isaac has even asked me out."

Scott clenched his jaw angrily as Stiles looked between his best friend and Cat. Allison shook her head. "You can't go out with him, Cat."

"Why?" Cat asked, standing up.

"Because he's a werewolf, the exact creatures my family is hunting down."

Cat scowled. "You mean, like your boyfriend?"

"That's different."

"That's a double standard." Cat shot back.

"Did you forget the part where he tried to kill you?" Stiles asked her.

"He also saved my life."

"What? When?" Stiles and Allison asked at the same time.

She shrugged. "when my dad was drunk that night or have you all conveniently forgotten that?"

"But you're back home now." Allison pointed out.

Cat sighed, not correcting her. "I'll talk to the pack and let you know but I need to go now."

She quickly left and the remaining teens looked at each other.

"She's acting weird right?" Allison asked.

Stiles nodded. "Completely. Any ideas, Scott?"

The werewolf scowled. "I've barely talked to her lately."

"Should we try talking to her?" Allison asked. "Anytime I try to bring up anything personal about her she finds an excuse to leave."

Stiles shrugged. "Is her dad still drunk and hitting her?"

"No," Scott snapped. "Just… deal with Alicia, we'll worry about Cat later."

"Scott, what if she needs our help?" His girlfriend asked. "We can't just ignore her or her problems."

"Allison, she's fine." Scott snapped. "We're dealing with the Omega, you know, the one you forgot to tell us about, so worry about her." He exited the other door and Allison looked at Stiles.

"I feel like I'm missing something."

"Join the party." Stiles said with a shrug.

… … …

Cat grabbed her hair, pulling each side into a short ponytail and tying them up to keep her hair out of her face. As she was finishing, she smiled at the reflection that appeared in her locker mirror, turning around to greet him.

"Hey." Isaac greeted her. "You ready?"

She nodded as he grabbed her bag from her and they left the school, not noticing Allison's eyes narrowing as they walked by.

"It's spring break, I'm more than ready. You guys weren't in school today but you show up to get me?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Full moon." Isaac reminded her. "But you still need to get home. So what's going on?"

Cat shrugged. "The usual. Lives in peril, the principal with a seemingly personal vendetta against me, my friends trying to figure out what the hell is going on with me and telling me to stay away from you guys."

He grinned. "Seriously? I thought Scott knew."

"Oh, he does but he hasn't said anything yet. Plus, the Omega won't leave. We're running out of options. But there is one more."

"What?" Erica asked as her and Boyd joined them on their walk home.

"Well, thanks to Allison's phone being tapped, the hunters know about the Omega meaning that getting her out of here has just become a little bit harder."

"But she's safe at Deaton's right now, right?" Isaac asked with a small frown.

Cat nodded. "And I think we need to focus on getting her out of town and I was hoping, maybe, you guys could help." She nervously bit her lower lip.

Isaac who had been watching Cat pull her bottom lip through her teeth, shook himself out of his stupor. "This Omega bitch sure has terrible timing. As if we didn't already have enough to deal with."

"You don't have to call her names." Erica replied, sounding almost insulted.

"We're all risking our lives for someone we don't even know." He argued.

"What if it were one of us? I'd really want someone to help if it were one of you guys." Boyd pointed out.

The lankier werewolf sighed before looking back at Cat. "You really want us to help Scott with this, huh?"

She nodded, a pleading look in her eyes. "Everything is getting worse, far worse. It's getting more and more dangerous here and if we can get rid of one problem, hopefully we can focus on the others at hand but I don't want you guys in trouble with Derek either. Or any of us really 'cause if you guys go down, I go down with you."

The three werewolves exchanged a look.

"We know it's getting scary." Erica softly said. "We've talked about leaving town until it all blows over but haven't yet because we know you won't come with us."

"What?" Cat asked in disbelief. "You guys can't leave. We need all the help we can get."

"But we don't want to die." Boyd said.

Cat shook her head, looking down at the ground as they continued to walk. "You all knew what you were getting into. You've entered into a centuries old war and like any war, there are always casualties. I understand that. I don't have super human strength or years of training with any kind of weapon but I'm not going to leave because I understand that."

Another look was exchanged between the three of them.

"Fine, so the plan is we meet her at Deaton's and try to force her out of town as far as possible?" Boyd asked. "And what's to keep her from turning around and coming right back?"

"Gerard's gigantic sword. We're hoping that does the trick." Erica replied with a wry smile.

"Right, okay." Boyd replied. "Well this is going to have to wait until after the full moon."

"And we need to get Catty ready and off to Lydia's before Derek chains us up."

"How anyone can party right now is beyond me." Cat said with a sigh.

"Lydia has no clue what's going on." Erica reminded her. "So really, that's the best place for you."

"I've never actually been to a party." Cat muttered.

She heard Boyd snicker before he was cut off by Erica elbowing him in the stomach.

"Just go there, have fun. Try not to drink." Isaac told her. "If only so you can stay in control of yourself in case anything happens. And if something does, find Scott."

"He's going to be there?" She asked with a frown.

"That's what he said." Isaac said with a shrug. "Meaning he's learned to keep control."

As they entered the train depot, they stopped to see Derek standing in front of a trunk. He kneeled down to open it up as the four teens gathered around to see what was inside.

"What's that?" Isaac asked, reaching out to touch a carving on the lid. It was of three spirals and Cat knew exactly what it was but it was Boyd who answered.

"It's a triskele."

Everyone turned to look at him.

"Spirals mean different things. Past, present, future. Father, mother, Child."

"Know what it means to me?" Derek asked.

"Alpha, Beta, Omega." Cat piped up.

Derek looked at Boyd, then Cat with surprise and appreciation. "That's right. The spiral reminds us that we can fall to one or rise to another." He stood up, looking between the four of them. "Beta's can become Alpha's but Alpha's can even fall to Beta's or even Omega's."

"Like Scott?" Isaac asked.

Derek gave him a funny look. "Scott's with us."

Cat grinned. "Where do I fall on this Spiral then? Can I be the middle, just to feel special?"

Derek rolled his eyes at her with an amused look in his eyes.

"So where's Scott now?" Isaac asked.

"He's looking for Jackson. He's not going to have it easy tonight either, none of us will." He reached into the trunk as he began pulling out chains. "There's a price you pay for this power, you have the ability to heal but tonight you're going to want to kill anything you can find."

"Good thing I got my period last week then, huh?" Erica said with a smirk.

The guys all looked at her in disgust but Cat snickered.

"Well, this one's for you." Derek told her, holding up a circle with screws in it.

"This seems all a little…. Torturous." Cat said with a frown.

"But necessary." Derek told her. "Cat, we're not training, I need you to grab your stuff and clear out of here as soon as possible. Don't come back until I call, okay?"

She nodded, moving off to where her clothes were, Erica following behind.

"We don't have much time, but luckily your hair looks super cute like that and we just need to get you into a dress and makeup." Erica told her.

"You want me to go in pigtails?" She asked, scrunching her nose.

"It's adorable." Erica assured her, grabbing the red dress she had bought for Cat. She waited while her small friend got changed in the tight fitting red dress, before sitting her down and starting her make up. "Your hair actually goes into this whole theme I thought up for you. It's the full moon, who knows what will happen and if worse comes to worse, I can't have something happening to you because you were wearing ridiculous shoes."

"Finally, some sense." Cat muttered.

"We're doing this whole kind of Punk type look. So you have this super cute dress, but you'll have fishnet stockings and these totally awesome shoes I bought you the other day."

Erica quickly finished her makeup, giving her the stockings to put on as well as some black knee high converse sneakers. Next, she handed her two fingerless elbow length fishnet gloves to complete the look.

"See?" Erica cried, pulling her in front of the mirror. "Totally hot, yet, you can run if you need to and if you need to Catty, please run."

Cat met her eyes in the mirror, a confused look on her face.

"It scares me that none of us are there to look out for you, so if you have to, run."

"Scott will be there."

"But it's also a full moon for him and that means he needs to pull his head out of his ass when it comes to Allison. They were arguing again when we came to pick you up you know."

Cat shrugged, picking up her leather jacket. "I don't care anymore."

"Right." Erica said with a knowing smile.

"Erica's right, you should run." Derek told Cat as he entered "but if something happens, I'm not sending you out there, totally unprepared."

He handed her some knives, helping her hide them on herself. One went into each shoe that were easy to pull out, another in the pocket on the inside of her jacket, one for the pocket on the outside and one strapped to her upper thigh. Totally uncomfortable but she was completely out of options by then.

"These could be enough to buy you some time to get away if you need to. If you're in trouble, then call me, I will be there as soon as possible. Promise?"

She nodded as Erica grabbed an already packed overnight bag.

"Isaac will walk you. Have fun and be safe." Erica told her, placing a kiss on her cheek.

"Just, be safe." Cat replied. "Try not to hurt anyone okay?"

Erica nodded with a smile as Isaac met up with them to walk her to the party. "Wow." Was all he could say.

"So I don't look weird?" She asked.

Isaac shook his head. "Cat, you look smoking hot."

"Thanks." She replied with a small blush as they left the depot again.
