It was the number one rule in Riley's life. If choosing between fight or flight choose flight. That option wasn't available now, however. So, she stood rooted to the spot as Derek and Allison argued.

"She can't Stay! She isn't safe!" Derek yelled. Allison merely glared at the werewolf
"She's protected here, she has a true alpha looking out for her! She'll be protected by my family too; Riley is safer here than she is anywhere else in the world!" Allison yelled. Derek didn't reply instead he spun to Riley.
"Are you cool with putting your friends in danger Matthews" Riley shook her head
"Well then leave, you know as well as I do that this pack is ruthless. They'll kill everyone and then torture you." He then left the girls behind. Allison smiled sadly at Riley.
"Are you okay?" she asked. Riley shook her head
"I have to go… Derek's right. His pack is ruthless… they'll kill everyone… they'll kill Stiles…" Riley hyperventilated. Alison placed her hands on Riley's shoulders to keep the young girl steady.
"If you have to go fine but…. Will you at least stay until the party?. Stiles is really excited about it and I think we all know your leaving would crush him." "You'll keep him safe?" She pleaded. Allison nodded
"We always do"
"Then yes, I'll stay."

Over the next week, Riley tried to keep Stiles at an arm's length, she couldn't have more reasons to stay. Yet no matter how hard she tried the boy seemed to slither back into her personal space. He waited for her at the end of all her classes and would try and tutor her in classes she didn't understand. He didn't do a very good job at tutoring though as the pair usually ended up in Stiles' room laughing about something or other. Its broke Riley's heart that she knew she would have to leave. Alongside this Allison also stuck to the girl like glue, she made not so obvious excuses for their closeness, Riley couldn't say anything about it either, she couldn't risk Allison exposing her secret.

When the night of the party rolled around Riley was nervous, she knew that after the party she would have to leave. It was also nerve-wracking because she was going as Stile's kind of date. She didn't want to make a big deal out of it but when she had walked downstairs Stiles' jaw had all but dropped to the "Riles… you.. you- "the Sherriff nudged his son, an amused smirk on his face. Stiles gulped.
"You're beautiful" he said. Riley blushed, her entire face going red.
"Th-thanks!" she replied. There was a moment of awkward silence before Noah clapped his hands.
"Right well picture time!" both teens looked at him in horror. He laughed.
"Oh don't look at me like that, when my niece wants pictures she gets pictures" Riley cursed Maya under her breath and stood awkwardly next to Stiles. He grinned at her and leaned down to whisper something in her.
"On the count of 3 pull a funny face" she nodded, and Stiles started counting to three. When he got to three she stuck her tongue at Mr Stilinski laughed. For the rest of the photos, the pair continued doing silly poses until the Sherriff demanded at least one nice one. As such Stiles stood behind Riley and wrapped his hands around her waist. Once the picture was taken the red-faced teens rushed out of the house.

When they got to the house the party was in full swing, teenagers were spilt out onto the front lawn. Alcohol was flowing and couples were dancing. The further they entered into the house the more crowded it became. Eventually the pair found their friends.

"Damn Riley you look awesome," Scott said. Jackson laughed then whistled
"Damn Stilinski where have you been keeping her?" he asked, eyes filled with lust. Lydia smacked him and Scott growled. Riley hid behind Stiles, creeped out.
"Try and touch her and I'll break your legs," Stiles said. Jackson was about to argue but a look from Lydia stopped him. Jackson hung his head
"Sorry Riley… Lydia has been teaching me how to be polite to girls. That wasn't polite" he admitted. Riley gulped.
"It's okay…." She whimpered. Allison who sensed the tension decided to chirp in
"Hey why don't we all go and dance" she suggested. Riley jumped at the opportunity and pulled Stiles into the throng of people.

After dancing for a while, they decided to go and explore, Riley was with Allison when they found the drugs. Riley could feel the familiar itch, the one that never seemed to completely go away. In hindsight, she should've known that teenagers would be doing drugs but to be honest she hadn't given it much thought. Allison turned to Riley but before she could Riley had turned on her heel and fled. She couldn't scratch her itch, no matter how much she wanted to. Allison chased her but lost her in the crowd.

Once Riley got out of the house she began walking home, messaging Stiles. She smiled when he messaged that he'll come for her. As she waited at the roadside for him to catch up a movement caught her eye. A man stood out from the bush, growling at her, Riley froze. This could not be happening. She took a step back into something solid. She looked up and paled.
"Uh Mr Gardner" she said. The man's eyes glowed red
"Get in the van" he growled, as she was about to ask what van a van pulled up in front of her. Riley could feel her heart beating, she couldn't go back to that life.

She looked around to see if she could escape but she was surrounded and was out of range of the party. So, she did the only thing she could, she lifted her leg and kicked Mr Gardner between the knees. The Alpha crumpled to the floor and Riley took this as an opportunity to run. She sprinted past the alpha and into the trees but didn't get very far as a pair of arms soon engulfed her.
"Nice Try" he growled. Riley was the dragged back towards the van. She screamed and kicked her legs but to no avail as she was thrown into the dark van. As the door began to shut she saw Stiles, Allison and Scott round the corner. She screamed for Stiles and as he turned to look for her, his eyes shining in fear, the door slammed shut and Riley was thrust into darkness once again.
