"You have 45 minutes to complete the test. 25% of your grade can be eared right now simply by writing your name on the cover of the blue book."
At Harris' words Buffy zones out as she stares at the paper booklet in front of her, she was literally in a nightmare right now.
Groaning she opens the book her eyes widening in horror at the questions below, she knew none of the answers...she was totally and completely screwed
As she begins to fall into a complete sense of panic and horror she almost sighs in relief as Scott runs out of the classroom.
Frowning she and Stiles glance at each other before they both take off running after him ignoring the calls of their teacher.
Running into the hall Buffy frowns as there was no sight of him "Do you hear him?" Stiles asks her as she closes her eyes.
Buffy quickly rolls her eyes and glances at him "No...I hear you."
"Oh. Sorry."
As he shuts up Buffy again closes her eyes and tries to listen out for her god-brother, for a long moment there was nothing but then...the tapping of water hitting the floor. At that one sound, it all clicked in her head "The locker room."
Buffy frowns in worry as she and Stiles walk into the locker room showers where Scott was currently standing shirtless under the water as he hyperventilated.
"Scottie." She breathes out softly causing him to turn to her and stare at her in desperation.
"Guys..." he breaths out in panic as he holds onto the wall, the water streaming down his back and chest "I can't..."
"What's happening?" Stiles asks in worry "Are you changing?"
"Do I need to knock you out?" Buffy asks, she was in full panic worried mood now, she had no idea what to do in this situation.
Stiles nods in agreement with the blonde's suggestion "Might be an idea."
"No." Scott yells drawing back their attention as he continues to choke clawing for air, what the hell was happening to him? "No, I can't breathe."
Buffy's eyes widen in panic before she reaches into her purse and hands Scott his old asthma inhaler "Here." When he gives her an odd look she rolls her eyes "Would you rather me knock you out?"
As the words leave her lips he quickly brings the inhaler to his lips, inhaling deeply, Buffy places her hand on Stiles's arm sighing in relief as Scott finally calms down.
Scott frowns in confusion as he feels himself relax "I was having an asthma attack?"
"No." Stiles corrects "You were having a panic attack. But thinking you were having an asthma attack actually stopped the panic attack. Irony."
Scott frowns in confusion before turning to Buffy "How did you know to do that?"
Buffy clenches her jaw before glancing at Stiles, remembering back to what he had done for her "I didn't...Stiles did. He did the same thing for me. I had a panic attack when my mom and dad told me we were leaving Beacon Hills."
"Not fun huh?" Stiles points out as the two friends watch as Scott continues to frown in confusion.
"I looked at her, and it was like someone hit me in the ribs with a hammer."
At Scott's words Buffy frowns while Stiles sighs, he knew exactly what that was, he felt it every time he looked at the blonde beside him "Yeah...it's called heartbreak. About two billion songs written about it."
Buffy's eyes widen in worry, this was exactly what she didn't want...Allison to break his heart.
"I can't stop thinking about her." Scott moans desperately.
"Well..." Stiles suggests "You could think about this, her dad's a werewolf hunter, and you're a werewolf so it was bound to become an issue." At his words, Buffy slaps his chest making him groan "Not helpful?"
"Big with no."
Stiles sighs "Dude, I mean yeah you got dumped, and it supposed to suck."
"No, that's not it."
Buffy frowns and steps forward looking at Scott carefully, placing a hand on his cheek she turns his face to look at her "Scott, come on dig deep...what's going on in that head of yours?"
"It was like..." He breathes out softly trying to think of the words "...I could feel everything in the room, everyone else's emotions."
Buffy frowns and thinks for a moment until something clicks in her head "The full moon. That's it! It's gotta be."
Stiles nods in agreement with the blonde "So we'll lock you up...correction Buffy will...that way the Alpha can't get to you, either."
Scott sighs and turns to Buffy "Buffy, you're gonna have to stop me."
"From what?" She asks in confusion.
"From killing someone."
Buffy sighs as she pulls open her locker and leans against the cool metal, she didn't know what she was supposed to do, she didn't want to hurt Scott but if he tried to kill someone she may just have to.
When did her life get so complicated?"
Trying to force herself to focus on school she grabs her calculus textbook intent on heading to her next class to distract herself however a note falling out of the book makes her pause.
Frowning the blonde looks down the hall looking for anyone who could have put this note in, but everyone was chatting away with their friends.
Thinking it was probably Lydia with another teasing message about Derek Buffy opens the note only to frown, written on the note was Allison's address with the word Come.
Buffy frowns in confusion why would Allison...but then it hits her, this wasn't from Allison.
It was from Kate.
"So, what, another night of kicking through leaves in the woods?" Kate asks her brother as she walks into their weapons room where he and a few fellow hunters were going after their plans for tonight's full moon.
Chris leans up from the table to face his younger sister "I prefer to think of it as another night of trying to keep innocent people from being killed. Which would be easier if you hadn't have scared the Slayer off."
Kate merely smirks and raises her gun clocking it as her brother rambles "I fixed that."
Chris' eyes widen, he had told her to stay away from the Slayer until he could think of a way to handle things, what the hell had she done now? "What did you do Kate?"
Kate merely smiles "I was smart."
"Actually I'd argue against that." Another voice says causing all four hunters to aim their guns at the doorway only to spot the small blonde vampire Slayer, who quickly kicks a crossbow off the wall beside her and aims it at them.
"Goodbye stakes hello flying fatality. So..." She says cheerfully, seeming just like any peppy teenage girl on her birthday "Which one of you do I shoot first?"
Chris sighs and puts down his gun before looking at the girl cautiously "Buffy, put the crossbow down. We're not gonna hurt you."
"I'd be more worried about yourself Van Helsing. I may not have used one of these before but I'm a quick study."
Chris sighs before gesturing for his sister and everyone else to put down their weapons before stepping away from them, they needed this girl to trust them if she was ever going to side with them.
Buffy watches them all cautiously before she lowers her weapon still keeping a tight grasp on it ready to fire at any second, turning to Kate she clenches her jaw "So wanna tell me what I'm doing here."
Kate smirks at the young girl, she could see a bit of herself in the girl, more so then she did with Allison "You wanna protect people right? From werewolves..."
Buffy cuts the other blonde off "Ah, reality check, I'm a Vampire Slayer. Vampire being the big word there."
"You can't just fight them." Chris tells the blonde "You've seen the Alpha. You really gonna ignore that."
Buffy clenches her jaw slightly, as much as she didn't trust these people she couldn't risk anyone getting hurt and plus if she worked with them she could try and keep them from finding out about Scott.
Finally, the blonde makes her decision. You know what they say keep your friends close...and your enemies closer.
Lowering the crossbow back onto the wall she moves towards the centre of the room standing opposite the now smirking Kate and the brooding Chris "Tell me about the Alpha."
Chris smiles before beginning "An Alpha is like any other werewolf on a full moon. It struggles under its sway, which means tonight is our best chance to catch it when it's unfocused."
As Chris stabs the end of a knife into a map Buffy frowns in confusion "What do you mean unfocused?"
"The moon affects their mind, their emotions, heightens things, makes them do things they wouldn't normally do."
At his word Buffy gulps slightly as her worry for Scott fills her, she could only imagine what kind of trouble he was going to get himself into if she didn't lock him up in time tonight.
Thinking for a minute she looks at the hunter curiously "Isn't there a way to make it stay focused? So it goes to one place and isn't running around like a girl on a shoe sale?"
Kate smirks at Buffy's question, she was liking this girl more and more, moving over to the blond she throws an arm over her shoulder ignoring how the Slayer tensed "Yeah Chris is there a way? I mean you're the expert."
At his sister's question he frowns in worry at the teenager beside her, he didn't exactly like bringing a kid into all of this but they didn't have a choice, they had to help her find the right path, before Derek or any other werewolf could influence her onto their side.
"What about Derek?" One of the other hunters asks making Buffy's eyes widen for a split second before she quickly hides her reaction.
Kate shrugs "He's smarter than that. He won't be out tonight. There's cops everywhere. Unless you can sniff him out." Kate suggest turning to the Slayer.
Buffy clenches her jaw, she was very much starting to dislike this woman "I'm not a dog, my powers don't work that way."
"Shame."
Buffy rolls her before turning to Chris with a scared look on her face "What are you gonna do? If he is out there?"
Chris sighs, he knew this much be scaring her, but the quicker she learned the better Slayer she would be "If he is..."
Chris is cut off as his wife walks into the room with a plate of cookies in her hands "If he is. You find him, you kill him. You cut him in half." Slowly Allison's mother moves towards the blonde in the room "I know it's scary honey. But you haven't been the Slayer long...don't worry, we'll help you. Now...cookie?"
"Derek?" Buffy calls as she shuts her bedroom door and leans against it, she was still a bit freaked out after what had happened at the Argents, they wanted her to join them tonight, she had managed to get out of it but had agreed to train with them.
She wasn't exactly big on undercover work, she was gonna have to have a long talk with Scott and Stiles about this before she began completely having a full on freak out.
As she was panicking she didn't seem to realize that Derek had called her name, when she felt a hand on her shoulder she jumps only to sigh in relief as she spots the green-eyed wolf in front of her.
"You okay?" He asks sincerely as he watches her with a worried frown.
Buffy takes a shaky breath before nodding "Yeah, just information overload."
Derek nods before frowning in confusion "Shouldn't you be a school."
"I skipped last period."
Derek couldn't help but chuckle, that sounded like him just a few years ago, skipping class, getting into trouble.
Buffy smiles before she looks down at his chest where the bandage was currently hidden by his black t-shirt "So how are you feeling?"
"Good. Almost healed." He tells her before gesturing at the moon that was starting to rise across the street "Full moon's helping."
"Oh." She breaths before everything Chris and Kate had told her rewinds through her brain bringing her back to her panicked state "Oh! Full moon. Derek...I learned some things about werewolf's today...the full moon what it does."
Derek clenches his jaw and walks over to the window gazing out of it in the direction of the school "You're worried about Scott."
Buffy nods "He thinks he's gonna kill someone. Is that the full moon?"
The werewolf nods, he had seen a lot of werewolves do horrible things on the full moon, sometimes with remorse, sometimes without.
"Yeah. A lot of us struggle with the sway of the full moon. Completely lose control. Become the beast."
Buffy nods before frowning in confusion, Scott had been panicky all day and apparently had been really violent when he and Stiles had gone out last night, but with Derek...it was different.
"But you..." She whispers as she walks to stand opposite him "It's the full moon and you're not..."
"I have a lot of practice." He reminds her before looking at her own green eyes "Plus, being around you, seems to make it easier."
"Me?" She asks before she shakes her head, Derek was a hotter older werewolf she was probably just over thinking things, "Yeah I know...Slayer strong, everyone wants a piece of the Slayer taking them down."
"No—"
He tries to cut her off but she just keeps rambling on "I mean I get it, water under the bridge—"
"You are keep me calm." He says loudly drawing her attention making her stare at him with wide eyes.
Buffy stares at him for a moment in shock, this was probably a lot harder for him, he didn't seem like the kind of person that ever admitted how he felt, just buried it deep down under layers of brooding "I do? How?"
Derek steps towards the small blonde as she takes a step towards him "Maybe I like you."
Buffy couldn't help but smile at his words, all worry about Scott and the hunters thrown out of her brain at this moment "I thought you didn't like anyone."
"I don't." He tells her as the two of them find themselves standing chest to chest the tension in the room filling quickly the closer they got "I should go."
Buffy merely continues to gaze at him "Probably." She whispers.
Before either of them could argue with it anymore though they both found themselves leaning in before finally their lips touch.
Buffy had kissed boys before but this was different, what they were doing was against all the rules, he was a werewolf she was the Slayer, this shouldn't be happening, yet she couldn't pull away.
As the kiss deepens Buffy finds her hands wrap around his neck while his move through her blonde hair, they both needed air but neither wanted to pull away from this moment.
However, when Buffy's phone rings they both groan in annoyance and pull away breathing heavily as they lean their foreheads against each other.
Buffy sighs and opens her eyes only to spot his glowing a bright blue, her eyes widen in shock for a split second before they soften and she carefully caresses his face staring at his blue eyes.
Slowly they fade back to their normal green and his hand moves up to clasp over hers before her phone starts ringing again.
"You should get that."
At his words Buffy sighs, she was gonna kill whoever the hell was calling her. Grabbing her phone she groans at the sight of Stiles' name on-screen "What Stiles?"
"I made first line!"
Buffy frowns in confusion, what the hell was he talking about "Is that a sports metaphor?"
"No! No metaphor! I'm on the team!" Buffy although happy for her friend winces as he begins whooping and screaming over the line "Stiles, I'm happy for you but calm down before I reach through the phone and kill you."
"Sorry." He grumbles "Now hurry up and get your ass here so you can watch my game. By the way Scott is now co-captain—"
Buffy's eyes widen in amazement "Stiles that's amazing—"
"Don't call me Stiles, you call me Biles or I swear to God I will sell your diary on eBay! Now get your ass to the game."
