Nate lead me and Sylvia out to the property behind the house. I shivered a little against the cold. As we walked through the trees I tried to look around for a good path to bolt on but my feet ignored my head. They followed my alpha's command to stay close. I summoned Liz and Kyle but only Kyle appeared.

"Chloe!" He said, walking beside me. "Oh god, everyone's been scrambling to find you."

I opened my mouth to respond.

"No no," he cut me off. "Don't let them know that I'm here. The longer I can stick around and figure out where we are; the better chance I have of helping your family find you."

"What do you keep looking at?" Nate asked.

"Nothing," I said. Keeping my eyes forward from then on.

There was the sound of more footsteps behind us. I tried not to turn around and look in case it was in my head.

"Who are they?" Kyle asked.

He saw them too, they weren't ghosts I accidentally summoned. I glanced back over my shoulder. Four people followed us, faces covered by matching dark hoods.

"W-what's happening?"

"I told you, you're about to learn our history."

We stopped along a row of trees. They were all dark, almost black.

"Let us begin," Nate smiled.

Everyone around me, and Kyle, started chanting something. It didn't sound English. An almost purplish light seemed to start coming from the roots of the black trees.

"I don't like the looks of this," Kyle said.

Nate grabbed my arm and lead me closer to the purple light.

Simon's POV

We arrived at the werewolf home. Matt tried to get us to move stealthily so we would maintain the element of surprise. But Derek couldn't handle the patience for that. He pushed past us all as we got out of the car, grabbed Jeremy by the back of his neck, and started towards the front door.

"Hey man!" Jeremy panicked. "What are you doing?!"

"Human shield," Derek smiled darkly.

Derek busted through the front door as we all scrambled to keep up. I expected someone to jump out, guns to be fired, something. But it was just dead silence.

"There's no one here," Matt said. His eyes closed as he scanned the area.

Derek didn't believe him or didn't hear him. He disappeared into the house with Jeremy.

"Derek!" I yelled.

Matt grabbed my shoulder before I could go after him.

"Hold on," he said.

I heard shouting and things being broken inside the house. But it was all Derek's voice. Matt was right that no one else was here.

Matt expected this reaction, "He was going to lose it quick anyway, let him work it out on their stuff not us."

Matt sent Tess and Tori to go search around the property just in case. Here I stood with Rachel and Matt. Waiting for some sign. Where on earth were we going to find her?

By the time Tess and Tori returned with no news. The commotion in the house had quieted down.

"I'm going in," I said.

I went inside the house, listening for Derek and Jeremy. I heard movement downstairs and quickly went down, no weapon in hand. If they weren't alone I was useless. I reached the bottom of the stairs and Jeremy raced over to me.

"He's losing his mind!"

There were some claw marks on Jeremy's arm.

"Did you get bit?" I asked him.

Jeremy shook his head.

"Upstairs. Now." I told him. When he didn't move right away I have him a light shove. "Go."

Jeremy raced up the stairs, he was terrified of Derek right now. I wondered if that was the first time he had dealt with a werewolf change.

"Derek?" I looked around.

Something huffed off to my left. I turned to face him.

"You have got to calm down," I said.

Derek stepped forward, a wolf. He let out this weird bark growl thing that sounded vaguely like a laugh. He stepped backwards into the dark.

"Derek? We don't have time for this."

There was some yelps and claws scrapping against the ground.

Derek the human stepped forward a minute later.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Derek laughed again, like he was going insane.

"Where is she?" He asked. "Where did Chloe go, Simon? Hm? Where did they take her? Where is everyone else?"

"You need to calm down."

"Calm? Oh. Yeah. I'll calm down," Derek nodded. "When I know where the hell she is!"

He stepped back into the dark part of the basement. My guess was to change again. He needed her desperately, especially with the fragile state she is in.

"Come upstairs and help us figure it out when you have a grip on yourself," I said then walked back upstairs. Leaving him down here alone until he calmed.
