So enjoy the last 2 chapters, I'll post the next one soon, then make sure you have me on alert because Cat et all will be back VERY soon in "season 2" of her story... Miles To Go

… … …

The remaining 5 piled into the Chris' bullet riddled SUV and he drove them to the hospital to get Derek's car. Cat slid out, murmuring a quick thanks to Chris and Allison as Scott called her named but she ignored him, getting into Derek's car and waited for them to drive off, completely forgetting about Isaac. She figured he had gone with them and when they left, rested her forehead against the steering wheel as she began to sob. Her door opened again and Isaac reached in and pulled her out into his arms.

"Cat." He whispered.

She didn't respond, crying too hard to complete any coherent sentences. After Isaac had pulled her out of Gerard's head, it was like a missing piece had returned to her. The cold, emotionless detached part of her that had been there ever since she had been in Matt's head was mostly gone, a small sliver remaining and now it was like the old her had come back in full force and everything had hit her all at once and it was too much to handle.

She cried because she had almost killed Allison and had tried to kill others but didn't even feel bad about it. She cried for Stiles who was heartbroken over Lydia professing her love for Jackson. She cried because she knew she had lost Scott forever that no matter what happened a part of him would always be Allison's and she cried because there was this wonderful guy here who had no issues with any of her flaws and she had seen a future with him but she feared she couldn't give him that future or whatever he had seen would have him running from her.

When she finally calmed down, she pulled away, wiping at her, now even more swollen eyes and cursing the fact that she couldn't even blow her nose because it was broken. Oh well, maybe she didn't have to worry about Isaac now, once he saw her snot covered, super swollen, bruised face, he'd be running the other way and she wouldn't be able to blame him.

"Cat." He whispered again.

She held up a hand to ward him off as she continued to look down. "I'm a mess." She mumbled.

"You're not" he replied, leading her over to the passenger side and putting her in the car. He got into the driver's seat and drove off, taking them to the preserve.

"what are you doing?" She asked.

"I didn't think you were ready to talk to others yet, come on." He got out and went into the trunk, pulling something out and laying it on the grounds. "Derek keeps like everything in here just in case." He told her as he pulled her out of the car and sat down on the blanket, tugging her down with him. He sat up against the car, pulling her back against his chest as he wrapped his arms around her to keep her warm. They were silent for a few minutes as they stared up at the sky, Cat finally breaking it.

"Is it over?"

"This part is." He replied. "I don't know what's going to happen next."

"I'm sure I will soon." She replied with a sigh. "Do you think Erica and Boyd escaped?"

"If they didn't, Allison's dad will let them go. But something tells me they're halfway through Oregon by now."

Cat pulled away and turned so she was kneeling in front of Isaac. "What happened when you touched me?" She asked.

"I couldn't stand hearing you scream, so I grabbed you and all of a sudden it's like I was there with you and then I pulled his hands away and I saw you running through a forest but you were laughing and I was chasing you."

Cat let in a sharp breath, as she averted her eyes, afraid to look at him. In her vision he had said I love you and something like that was enough to send a guy running away. Fast.

"Hey now, what's wrong?" Isaac leaned forward to grab on of her hands.

"Nothing." She mumbled. "I'm sorry you got caught up in that."

"But it wasn't bad." He replied.

"No but not everyone likes to know what's going to happen or tell them how they are going to be feeling down the road."

"You think the fact that I said that in your vision is going to make me run?" He asked and she could hear the smile in his voice.

"Why wouldn't it?"

He tugged on her hand, pulling her back to him. "Yeah, sure that was information overload and I mean, I'm not there right now but I'm not opposed to the idea. Are you?"

"Ask me a few hours ago and I would have told you to slow the hell down. And then that happened and I saw so much more. I've never seen anything in regards to me like that before."

"What else did you see?" He curiously asked.

She blushed and shook her head, averting her eyes again.

He chuckled. "I won't push you right now."

"Thank you." Cat replied, lifting her eyes to look at him again.

They stared at each other, slowly moving in until their lips met. His arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer and she wrapped her arms around his neck, playing with the curls at the nape of his neck. The kiss turned more passionate and Cat stopped, letting out a small groan of pain.

"Oh god, you're nose, I forgot." He pulled away, checking her over to make sure he didn't do more damage.

"How could you forget that?" She asked. "Have you seen my horribly swollen bruised looking face?"

"It's not that bad." He assured her.

"Really? The pain and the fact that my cheeks are in half of my vision tells me another story."

"Well you did break your nose pretty bad." He reminded her. "Like twice but you still look good."

She rolled her eyes as she leaned back against his chest, lacing her fingers with his.

"You're so biased." She replied good-naturedly.

… … …

Isaac brushed hair back from Cat's face, wincing at the wicked looking bruise across her face. It was light now and they had both fallen asleep on the blanket. The cold didn't bug him and he had laid his jacket over top of the small girl, wrapping his arms around her to keep her warm.

Even though they had lived together in the train depot, he had never gotten the chance to do this and now he couldn't even describe how good it felt.

Cat mumbled something unintelligible as she cuddled in closer to him to get warm.

"Cat." He whispered.

Her eyes fluttered open and she groaned in pain. "Advil." She groaned.

"We can stop to get some." Isaac told her. "Derek left a bunch of messages wondering where we are and where the hell his car is."

"Oops." She replied with a grin. "How does my face look?"

"Honestly?" He asked. "Like you're in a lot of pain but it doesn't look any worse than last night, maybe a little better eve."

"I am in a lot of pain." She replied. "Ready to face the world?"

"I should be asking you that. Are you?" Isaac asked.

Cat shrugged, slowly getting to her feet as all the aches and pains coursed through her. "I'm too young to hurt this much."

"Most 16 year old's don't go through what you did last night."

"What we did."

He shrugged. "I healed a long time ago."

"Lame." She replied with a pout as she got into the car, gladly getting into the passenger side.

He gathered up the blanket, throwing it in the back before getting into the driver's side. "You know Derek is going to kill me and possibly you for driving his car, right. He never lets any of us touch it, just you."

"I think he'll understand when he gets a look at my face. I should go home though."

"You mean the depot?"

"No, Scott's place." She glanced over, seeing his jaw clench, his hands tightening on the steering wheel. She placed a hand on his arm. "I didn't forget our deal or what I saw. But for the time being I live there, maybe when Derek takes over my old house I'll move in."

"Wait? What?" Isaac asked.

"I signed the deed of the house over to Derek. Or I should say, my dad did." She sent him an evil grin and he laughed.

"Sweet, maybe we can share a room."

She sent him a mock glare as he pulled into a gas station and ran inside to grab her some advil. He came back out and handed her some with a bottle of water. She took it gratefully and swallowed the pills, finishing off the water in record time as he got them back on the road. He drove out to the Hale House, stopping in front of Derek and Peter.

"Took you long enough." Derek griped.

Cat shrugged as she got out of the car.

"Why are you driving my car?" He asked, snatching the keys away from Isaac.

"Have you seen my face?" Cat asked. "How was I supposed to drive?"

"We're moving into your old place." Derek told her. "We need the car to move some things, we'll go to the depot after to grab the rest."

They began walking to the house, stopping as they neared it.

"What's that?" Cat asked.

"You haven't told them everything, have you?" Peter asked as they all stared at the door with a symbol painted on it.

It looked like a weird mutated version of a triskele but Cat couldn't remember ever coming across it in any of her studies. Cat turned to see Derek glaring at Peter and she and Isaac exchanged a quick look.

"What do you mean?" Isaac asked.

Peter leaned back against a tree before answering them. "Why do you think Derek was in such a hurry to build his pack? So eager to strengthen his power and his number? When there's a new alpha, people take notice."

"People like who?" Isaac asked.

Neither answered and he exchanged another look with Cat before pointing at the symbol.

"What is this? What does it mean?"

"It's their symbol, and it means they're coming." Derek quietly replied.

"Who?" Cat asked, curious.

"Alpha's"

"More than one?" Isaac asked in disbelief.

"A pack of them." Derek explained.

Another look, this one of fear, passed between Cat and Isaac.

"An Alpha pack." Peter explained further. "And they're not coming, they're already here."

"So what does this mean for us?" Cat asked. "Are they here to kill you or recruit you?"

"I don't know what they're going to do with me." Derek honestly replied. "But you need to stay out of this and stay away from us for the time being."

"What?" Cat exploded. "After all we've been through and now you're just telling me to get lost."

"It's not that." Derek replied. "You're a human, living amongst a pack. They will kill you or turn you."

"She's safest with the pack." Peter told his nephew. "Cat isn't just a human. If they figure out what she is, they won't turn her or kidnap her. They will kill her."

Everyone turned to look at him and he shrugged. "I've been trying to tell you about her since I came back but nobody listens to me."

"Maybe 'cause you're a sanctimonious dick." Cat muttered, causing Isaac to laugh which he tried to turn into a cough and Derek to even smile at her.

"You know, you're not exactly being nice to the person who can tell you more about you and your abilities." Peter replied with a raised eyebrow and Cat swore he looked like he was pouting.

"I have a solution for all this." Cat said with a shrug. "Bite me."

The guys looked at her in confusion wondering if she meant it or was insulting them and Cat just rolled her eyes at them.

"No, seriously, bite me. I'll take the bite, who cares if the visions become stronger. This way you don't have to worry about me and plus, if I become an alpha like Derek thinks I might, you have another alpha on your side. That's 3, possibly 4 alpha's with Scott, whatever he's becoming. So do it."

Derek pondered this and even stepped towards her. Isaac moved to stand in front of her, actually growling at his alpha and Cat rolled her eyes, pushing him aside.

"He's not doing it against my will." She told Isaac. "I'm all for it."

"I'm not." Peter replied. "You can't turn Cat, you just can't."

"Why?" Derek asked.

"Because she's a Seer."

The alpha glared at his uncle. "You keep saying that but have yet to give me an actual answer as to what that means."

"I was getting there. Seer's were at one point a big deal to packs but then something changed."

"Why?" Cat asked. "What's the big deal with Seers? You know, besides the, I can see the future, and your thoughts… and make you feel whatever I want you to thing."

"You can do that?" Peter curiously asked.

Cat nodded.

"You can't let that little tidbit get out." Peter warned her. "The moment they find out just how powerful you are, you're gone."

"How do you know all this?" She asked.

"Legend has it that packs used to have Seers among them. They were pretty much worshiped and if you killed a Seer, the penalty was death but if you tried to take over a pack or territory, the Seer was yours. They protected the Seer with everything they had. In a sense they would be the one who could tell you what came next, how to win the upcoming battle so to lose someone like that meant that it wouldn't be long until your pack was no more or taken over by a bigger pack."

"Are you trying to tell me there are a lot of Seers out there?" Cat asked in disbelief. Could she find someone out there that could help her?

"No, there wasn't back then but they were a lot easier to find, I heard they were extinct now. Seers were held in high regard and when there was a war between the packs, the Seer's were out of bounds, you did not touch a Seer but still the Alpha's taught them to fight and because of their abilities they were able to pick it up really quick so they could protect themselves if something did happen. That's why Cat is so adept with weapons, especially if it's been used before, she can pick up the essence of those who used it before her and know exactly what to do."

"So because of the history between Seers and werewolves, that's why I'm connected to Derek?" She asked.

"And Scott." Peter told her.

"So why not bite the Seers and really make them pack?" Isaac asked.

Peter shrugged. "Seers were never bitten, the packs were afraid that they would lose their visions, and therefore their upper hand against other packs. But I did read of one instance where a Seer was bitten and that was by accident."

"What happened?" Cat quietly asked.

"They went insane. Murdered the whole pack in her insanity and was well on her way through another before an alpha pack was finally able to stop her. When you murder tons of people, werewolves or not, people take notice and after that, the Alpha pack had it so that all Seers were killed so as not to have something like this happen again. Some packs loved their Seers though and were able to help them escape and start a life elsewhere."

"So what? The pack of alpha's rule over all of us?" Isaac asked.

"In a sense that anyone who defies them ends up dying anyways so you might as well do what they say."

Cat's skin had gone whiter and whiter during the conversation and now she sat heavily on the stairs. Shocked beyond belief.

"Cat?" Isaac called, moving towards here.

"My coming here to Beacon Hills wasn't an accident, was it?"

"Who decided you'd move here?" Peter asked her.

"I spent some time in a hospital when my abilities first showed themselves. I went a little crazy and my father told me after that I kept mumbling this town in all my psycho-babble. He hated these visions because of what happened to my mom but when I told him where to buy a house and get a job, he decided that this place was fine as a temporary stop. So we moved here. It was kismet."

"Kismet?" Isaac asked in confusion.

"Fate, destiny. I think I was supposed to end up here all along."

"So Cat should not be around us. If she's with us, the Alpha's will know something is up with her and can figure it out. If she's away from us, she'll be safer." Derek argued.

Peter shook his head. "Her scent is everywhere. We leave her alone, they will go looking for her and there's a good chance they'd kill her or use her to get what they want from you, even if they don't know what she is."

"So we really don't let Cat out of our sights." Isaac said. "We really could use Boyd and Erica's help by now."

Derek shrugged. "If they didn't make it out of town, chances are the alpha's already got them."

"No." Cat whispered, tears in her eyes as she thought of her friends.

"Okay, what's wrong with her?" Derek asked, glowering at Cat "She was a hard ass last night. Sure shit has happened but now she's all… girl like."

"I'm a girl, you nimrod and I think I'm me again."

"What are you talking about?" Derek asked.

"Matt did something to me. Before that I was angry and whatnot but whatever I did to him messed with my head and it's like the emotions were shut off until yesterday. I don't get it, so please don't ask me to explain again."

"So the bad ass, show no mercy, Cat is gone?" Derek asked, sounding disappointed.

Cat glared at him. "Gee Derek, how about you let me shoot you and we see if I feel bad."

"Nope, still there." Isaac said with a small smile.

"Ok, let's grab everything we can here, get to the house and we'll drop Cat off with Scott while we finish moving."

As if on cue her phone beeped and she looked at it to see it was Scott asking where she was. She replied that she was at the Hale house and he told her to stay there he would be right by.

"don't bother." She told them. "Scott's on his way so I'll be out of your way pretty quick."

"Good. I'll send Isaac to get you later." Derek disappeared into the house, coming out moments later with a can of paint.

"What's that for?" She asked.

"To cover this." He replied, taking it and throwing it at the door. "Cat, for everyone's safety, you need to keep this quiet."

"But we need Scott's help." She argued.

"He's not a part of my pack remember?"

"Oh, fuck all your ego's." She snapped. "It sounds like we're in way over our heads, we need to do something."

"And we will but we can't do anything unless we know what they have planned."

Peter stepped forward. "I think I have a solution to get Cat out of here for a while."

"You just said she'd be safe with us." Isaac reminded him.

"Yes while she's in town but I have a better idea. Give me a couple days and I might be able to come up with a few leads on where Cat can learn more about who she is. If she's out of town, we don't have to worry about the Alpha's."

She laughed. "You want me to leave town with all this shit going down."

"Actually." Peter pointed out. "We're in between right now so now would be a good chance for the packs residence human to go and find out if she has any family left."

Cat's eyes widened as she picked up what he was saying. "Yes, see if I have any hidden family. But what about school?"

"Oh, you mean the school that you're already done?" Isaac reminded her. "I'm sure you could graduate this year if you wanted to."

She stuck her tongue out at him. "Fine, what about your school?"

"Huh?"

"I'm not going alone."

"Yes, you are." Derek snapped. "I can't afford to lose Isaac."

"When nothing is happening?" She challenged. "I want Isaac."

"This isn't up for discussion."

Cat crossed her arms over her chest as she glared at him.

"Stop it." He told her. "It's not going to work."

She began tapping her foot impatiently as she raised an eyebrow at him and he finally threw his arms up in disgust.

"Fine, whatever but you keep in contact every day and get back here if we need you."

Cat grinned triumphantly as she turned to Isaac. "Would you like to come with me?"

He raised an eyebrow at her. "All that with Derek and just now you choose to ask me?'

"Would you have come if he said no?" She asked.

"Shut up." He muttered.

She grinned as she moved towards him, noticing his expression turned to one of anxiety. She wrapped her arms around his mid section, understanding why he was so anxious. He didn't want her out of his sight right now.

"I'll be fine." She promised.

"Not comforting." He told her. "With your penchant for landing smack dab in the middle of trouble? Not comforting at all."

"Scott will protect me?"

He glared down at her. "Our deal started last night, no kissing him."

"Promise." She replied with a grin. "And just think, we can cuddle tonight, in an actual bed."

"Werewolf hearing." Derek reminded them as he walked by. "If there's anything else, I'll kill you both."

Cat stuck her tongue out at his back just as a horn honked behind her.

"Be safe." She told Isaac, going up on her toes to give him a kiss on the cheek.

He gave a small humorless laugh. "I should be telling you that."

Cat shrugged and stepped away from him, feeling his eyes on her back the whole way to the car. When she got in, he continued to stare, even as Cat waved at him.

"Does he really not trust you or I that much?" Scott asked with a raised eyebrow.

"It's not that." Cat told him as he drove away, wanting so badly to tell him what was going on but hoping that if nothing was going on and it didn't involve Scott, maybe he could have some time to heal and just be normal for a while. "Understandably, he's worried about me. Hey listen, I um- I'm skipping the rest of the year."

"What?" He asked in disbelief. "Why? You can't do that."

"Actually, I can." She replied. "I can hand in all my work next week and still ace everything."

"But why? Are you really shaken up?"

"Aren't you?" She asked with a small humourless laugh. "But really, I need to go find some family."

"Why?" He asked.

"So I can be properly emancipated." She blurted out. "Got to make sure I don't have anyone else out there. If I do, I need them to sign stuff."

"It won't be the same without you." He replied sadly.

"You'll have Stiles and Allison." She reminded him.

Scott nodded an almost sad smile on his face. "She broke up with me."

"Scott, I'm sorry." Cat whispered.

"Don't be. Like you said, whatevers meant to be is meant to be, right?"

She nodded, still feeling bad.

"Is Isaac going with you?"

Another nod. "Yeah, He'll do home schooling through correspondence and if you need any help with your school, let me know."

"I don't know if I can do this without you."

"You'll be fine." She whispered with a weak smile. "I'm sorry but I need to go."

He nodded. "When do you leave?"

"Soon." She replied. "Nothing's definite just yet, still sketching out the details."

They pulled up to his house and Cat got out , stumbling into his house and letting Melissa fuss over her before she moved down the hall towards Scott's bedroom, falling in to it and closing her eyes.

When Cat opened her eyes, she turned around, trying to figure out where she was. She was positive it was her old house, except it was not. Everything seemed darker, a bit more sinister then it was when she was last there. What was going on? She thought she was at Scott's, so where was he? And why was she dressed differently? She looked down at herself, frowning at the white slip dress she was now in. She didn't own a white dress, with her clumsiness she always managed to spill stuff on herself so had expelled most white clothing from her wardrobe.

She heard the clinking of glass and turned around, frowning at the person bent over, cleaning up the something on the floor. It was a woman who didn't look much bigger than herself, her hair was long and wavy and the same color as Cat's natural light brown hair. She was dressed in almost the exact same outfit as herself and Cat couldn't help but feel that if she grew her hair out and let her natural color come back, she would look very much like this from behind. There was something so familiar about this woman but Cat couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"I loved this vase."

Cat's eyes widened and she took an involuntary step back. She should know that voice, something told her she should know that voice but at the same time she was too afraid to let herself believe that.

"But your father didn't care much for my possessions, now did he?"

The teen's mouth opened and closed, unable to get the words that were stuck in her throat out. The woman finally stood up, turning around with a smile, the vase now whole in her hands. Cat stared, almost positive she was going to pass out.

"Mommy?"
