A/N: Here it is Season 3B, hope you guys continue to like this story

Skye's POV

I was woken up by the blaring sound of my alarm and I rolled over onto my stomach pulling my pillow over my head as I blindly hit the snooze, I sighed pulling Derek's t-shirt up to my nose and breathed in the faint woodsy smell that still clung to the fabric.

"Come on kiddo, up and adam you have school" I moved the pillow off my face looking up at my dad.

"Kay dad" I got up then walked to my closet to grab clothes.

"How you doing?" I gave him a small smile because he'd ask me that almost every morning since Derek left and I knew it was because I'd barely been sleeping without waking up restless or from nightmares of Derek being killed in front of me.

"I swear I'm okay dad, you can stop asking me that"

"I'm just worried about you sweetheart, this behaviour isn't exactly normal, I hear you wake up screaming Derek's name most nights" I sighed nodding my head.

"I know dad and I'm working through it" I gave him a smile before heading towards my bathroom.

"Alright but you know you can talk to me anytime right kid" I nodded. "Alright I'll leave you to get ready" he left so I went into my bathroom and showered, changed into blue denim shorts, black singlet and a flannel overshirt paired with my usual combat boots before I grabbed my school bag and went downstairs after doing my hair and applying a little bit of make-up.

I passed by the kitchen and went straight to the garage opting out of breakfast like I did most days in the last few weeks and jumped straight onto my bike driving over to Scott's since we'd been riding to school together making a race out of it as a little bit of fun and we especially needed it.

I pulled up out the front of his place then went around climbing up into his bedroom and let myself in through his window like I always did smiling at him grabbing his stuff ready to leave probably having heard me pull up.

"Hey Scotty" he looked up and smiled.

"Hey Skye, you ready to lose today" I chuckled shaking my head because so far he'd been unable to beat me.

"In your dreams" I replied as he put at text book into his back then pulled on an overshirt and his backpack before heading to the door but he looked down at the shadow of his hand then clenched his fist before slowly opening it again. "What?" I asked him walking to stand beside him a little worried for him but he shook his head then opened the door and we we're both shocked when Isaac was on the other side.

I stiffened because we weren't as close as we once we're when he was with me and Derek and I really hated the turn our relationship has taken since I'd always thought of him as one of my best friends.

"Hey" Isaac said nervously and cast a quick look my way and I offered him a small smile.

"Oh hey" Scott replied quickly looking in between me and Isaac knowing there was still tension between us.

"Um, are you going to school?" Isaac asked him then looked at me. "Are you?" I nodded nervously playing with the charm bracelet Derek gave me before he left.

"Yeah" Scott replied.

"Okay, me too"

"Good" Scott replied and Isaac nodded then looked up at Scott.

"Can I can I ask you a question?" I frowned as I looked between them wondering why the hell they we're being so awkward.

"Okay?"

"Are you angry at me?" Isaac asked him and I tried to pretend I wasn't listening by staring at my nails.

"No" Scott replied.

"Are you sure?"

"No" I looked up at Scott pinching my eyebrows together.

"What's that mean?" Isaac asked him shuffling around nervously.

"I guess I'm not really sure how I'm feeling" Scott replied and I frowned because I was confused but then remembered what they'd told me about when they sacrificed themselves, Deaton told them it had to be someone with a strong connection to them to push them under and Isaac went with Allison because there was something going on between them.

"Okay, do you hate me?"

"No, of course not" Scott replied smiling a little.

"Do you want to hit me?" Isaac asked Scott with such an impassive face that I actually smiled since I doubt he wanted Scott to actually hit him.

"No" Scott replied shaking his head.

"I think you should hit me" Isaac said nodding his head at Scott and I frowned because that wouldn't help anything.

"I don't want to hit you" Scott replied smiling at him.

"Are you sure?"

"Why would I want to hit you, you didn't do anything did you?" Scott replied

"No I mean, um…" he started stammering. "What do you mean?"

"I mean like you didn't kiss her or anything, right?" I frowned and shook my head knowing this wasn't going to end well.

"No!" Isaac exclaimed shaking his head. "Absolutely not, no"

"Did you want to?" Scott asked his smile faltering.

"Oh yeah, totally" Isaac replied and I closed my eyes knowing what came next and rolled my eyes when I heard Scott punch Isaac and he fell backwards making a photo frame fall to the ground as Isaac hit the wall before falling to his butt, I chuckled walking out to peer out the door as I heard Melissa.

"Hey you three supernatural teenagers, don't test my entirely un-supernatural level of patience" I laughed rolling my eyes.

"Feel better?" Isaac asked him and I chuckled again before walking out with Scott behind me nodding at Isaac as we passed.

"See you at school Isaac" I called out before we got on our bikes and raced to school and of course I was like a total ten seconds in front of him the entire time. "Haha, the master wins again!" I exclaimed jumping off my bike and did my little victory dance.

"Get over yourself, your bike has like twice the power" I laughed.

"Aw don't be such a sore loser Scottykins" I laughed ruffling his hair before we headed off towards school to meet up with Stiles but as we were walking Scott suddenly stopped, I noticed and looked back him. "Scotty, you okay?" I asked but he seemed to be looking at his shadow then his eyes widened and he suddenly took off running, like he was running from his shadow. "Scott!" I yelled following him down the stairs into the underpass until he ran into Stiles.

"Hey, hey you alright?" Stiles asked stopping him from running.

"Are you okay?" I asked but Scott nodded. "You don't look all right, Scott" I touched his shoulder.

"I'm okay" Scott mumbled when he noticed Stiles and I were both staring at him.

"No, you're not" Stiles replied. "It's happening to you too"

"What happening?" I asked anxiously.

"You're seeing things, aren't you?" Stiles asked Scott ignoring me.

"How'd you know?" Scott asked him.

"Because it's happening to all three of you" we turned and saw Lydia and Allison coming up behind us, I frowned because I was seriously starting to worry about them because they've all been acting strange lately, we walked off towards the school behind Lydia who seemed to be enjoying this a little. "Well, well, look who's no longer the crazy one" Lydia added as we walked into the main school building.

"We're not crazy" Allison argued.

"Hallucinating and sleep paralysis?" I cut in then shook my head. "I hate to agree with Lydia but that definitely sounds like somethings wrong with you guys"

"We did die and come back to life" Scott pointed out shrugging his shoulders. "That's gotta have some side effects, right?" the school bell rang causing us to look up then around at each other nervously.

"We keep an eye on each other, okay?" Stiles inputted and we all nodded. "And Lydia, stop enjoying this so much" he added before walking off, I chuckled before following after him since we had history together with Scott, we walked into class and sat down as the bell rang again signalling the beginning of class.

"Good morning everyone, my name is Mr Yukimura, I'll be taking over your previous history teacher" I frowned recalling the reason we needed a new history teacher. "My family and I moved here three weeks ago, I'm sure by now you know my daughter Kira or you might not since she's never actually mentioned anyone from school or brought a friend home for that matter" I heard a thud behind me and the whole class turned to look, seeing a girl with her head on her desk then she looked up giving an awkward smile to the class "Either way, there she is" I smiled a little feeling sorry for her clearly embarrassment. "Now let's begin with American History at the turn of the 20th century"

I sighed but forced myself to pay attention turning back to the front and opened my textbook and notebook, ready to take notes and was about to start writing when suddenly heard a heartbeat start racing so I looked up and noticed Scott in front of me but he was looking at the floor…at his shadow again so I reached up and touched Scott's shoulder squeezing it, he turned around and looked at me then nodded that he was okay but I wasn't convinced something was definitely going on with him.

"Maybe we need a little more time to get back to normal" Scott spoke up as he, Stiles and I stood at Stiles' locker after class.

"Yeah, try not to forget we hit the reset button on a supernatural beacon for supernatural creatures" Stiles said, trying to get his locker open. "There's a pretty good chance things are never going back to normal"

"Let's be entirely honest since when have our lives been normal especially since we looked for Laura's body" I asked them while checking my phone for any messages but had no new ones, Derek hadn't texted me in days and I was starting to panic that something has happened to him, I sighed stuffing my phone back into my pocket then looked up at Stiles. "What's wrong?" I asked watching him stare at his lock in confusion. "Stiles are you okay?" he began to blink rapidly and looked at me.

"Yeah I'm okay" Stiles replied letting go of his lock then looked at Scott who had his face lowered and was leaning against the locker. "Oh, dude your eyes" I looked up and saw Scott's eyes which were glowing red.

"What about them?" Scott asked us.

"Scott they're starting to glow" I said looking around nervously seeing if anyone was paying attention.

"You mean like right now?"

"Yes right now" Stiles and I replied at the same time.

"Scott stop, stop it" I added quickly.

"I can't, I can't control it" Scott replied panting and held his hand over his eyes.

"All right, just keep your head down" Stiles said quickly lowering Scott's head. "Look down, come on keep your head down" Stiles and I led Scott into an empty classroom.

I closed the door then turned around seeing Scott take off his overshirt and he was grabbing the desks desperately trying to calm down as Stiles and I moved towards him but Scott held up his hands.

"Get back, get away from me" Scott warned us kneeling to the ground.

"Scott, it's okay" Stiles tried but I quickly pulled Stiles back and looked at him..

"Let me, I can heal you can't" I moved towards Scott. "Scott listen to me okay, just listen to my voice it's okay"

"Skye get back, I don't know what's going to happen, get back" I moved towards him anyway and grabbed his arms.

"Scotty just look at me, okay look right at me" he met my eyes and I thought back to one of Derek's many lessons. "Sorry about this" I added then let my claws come out and dug them into Scott's arms drawing so much blood but it was working, he was coming back.

"Pain makes you human" Scott sighed and I knew he was remembering Derek's words.

"Yep" I replied smiling a little as he sat back and breathed in relief as Stiles came up behind us and kneeled down.

"Scott, this isn't just in our heads, this is real" I frowned looking up at him. "And it's starting to get bad for me too, I'm not just having nightmares I'm having dreams where I have to literally scream myself awake and sometimes I'm not even sure if I'm actually ever waking up"

"What do you mean?" Scott asked him.

"Do you know how you can tell if you're dreaming, you can't read in dreams, more and more the past few days, I've been having trouble reading it's like I can't see the words I can't put the letters in order"

"Like even now?" I asked him letting the worry be heard, Stiles stood then began to look around the room, looking at the posters then the board before he turned back to Scott and me.

"I can't read a thing" I frowned because that wasn't reassuring, I looked between them and let them see I was worried.

I decided to tag along with Stiles as we got flowers because he and his dad was going to his mom's grave and I was meeting up with my dad at the station and it was better than going home to an empty house to wallow in my self-pity and constant worry on why Derek wasn't getting back to me.

We walked into the station and I looked for my dad but he was on a call so I followed Stiles into his father's office where he put the flowers on the Sherriff's desk.

"You know, the last time we bought one of these to her grave was stolen the same day, hundred bucks down the drain" he looked up and noticed his dad wasn't sitting at his desk. "Hey, Dad?" he looked over the desk where his dad was kneeling on the ground over at least twenty different case files. "Hi, what are you doing down there?"

"Working and hey if somebody wants the flowers that badly, they can have them, it's the gesture" I smiled walked closer to his desk looking at all the stacks of papers.

"Hey dad, what is all this?" Stiles asked him.

"I've been looking over some old cases from a more illuminated perspective, if you know what I mean" I nodded then lifted the top on one of the files.

"Strange sighting of bipedal lizard man sprinting across freeway" I read then laughed thinking about that.

"Kanima pile" the Sherriff replied hitting the top of a pile so I dropped it on top. "Hey Skye, how are you?" I smiled.

"I'm okay Mr Stilinski, you?"

"I'm good" he smiled and I couldn't help smile back.

"Dad, you're not going back through all your old cases seeing if any of them had something to do with the supernatural are you?" Stiles asked him.

"I admit the recent opening of my eyes to the greater mysteries of the universe has got me reassessing" the Sherriff replied. "There's at least a hundred cases here where I can look at the details and I can ask myself. 'If I knew then what I know now…'"

"Right but are you sure you wanna go down that path?" Stiles asked as I flipped through another case file and couldn't stop the ache in my heart when I read the line, wolf-man, blue eyes because I knew they we're talking about Derek.

"Do I have a choice?" Mr Stilinski replied and I looked back up with a frown closing the file before I started crying. "There's one case in particular that I can't get out of my head" he stood up. "Eight years ago, when I was elected Sheriff of County my first official duty was to tell a man that not only had his wife and two kids died in a car accident but at best we could tell the body of his nine year old daughter had been dragged from the wreak by coyotes" he handed Stiles a file and we looked at it.

"You mean dragged and eaten?" I asked curiously.

"We didn't find the car until three days after the crash" my eyes widened. "They had driven off the road into a pretty deep ravine, two bodies that we're still in the car we're covered in bites and slashes"

"So you're thinking bites and claw marks, probably werewolf attack?" Stiles asked but I doubted that since Derek's family we're still alive back then and Beacon Hills was their territory so Talia would have never allowed someone to get away with murdering an entire family.

"Maybe" Stilinski agreed with him.

"I doubt that" I cut in frowning up at them. "Coyote's they scavenge right, so couldn't they have left the bites and the slashes because eight years ago this was still Hale pack territory and I know none of them would have done something like this?"

"Absolutely" Mr Stilinski nodded. "But guess what night the accident occurred on?" he pointed to the case file, so Stiles and I looked back down at it and saw the calendar.

"The night of a full moon" Stiles read then looked up at me.

"Yeah" Mr Stilinski nodded, Stiles closed the file then looked around at all the boxes labelled 'Sheriff station, do not remove'

"Hey dad, where are all these going?" Stiles asked him.

"Yeah we uh…" he looked down and I followed his line of sight seeing another tag on the boxes with the name 'Agent McCall' and had to fight back the growl. "We probably need to talk about that"

"Hey kiddo you ready to leave?" we looked up and saw my dad poke his head in back from his call.

"Yeah dad" I grabbed my backpack.

"Hey boss" my dad nodded at Stiles father and I smiled.

"Nick" Stiles dad nodded before we left leaving Stiles to talk with his dad.

We got take out on our way home and ate while watching tv before I decided to go upstairs and get some homework done but could barely focus as I kept staring at my phone before making up my mind and tried calling Derek again but it went straight to voicemail.

"Hey Derek just calling to check in it's been a few days and I'm starting to worry so call me or at least send me a text saying you're okay, okay bye" I hung up then threw my phone on my bed before changing into some pj's and climbed into bed hoping to get at least a few hours of decent sleep.

The next day at school was pretty boring and I kept my eyes on my notes as I listened to Coach lecture on but felt like I was about to fall asleep since I hadn't had much luck getting to sleep last night like I'd hoped and because Coach seemed to teach the same thing every day.

"Stilinski!" Coach exclaimed making me look up and turned seeing Stiles writing vigorously against his page in between mine and Scott's desk, I frowned and started reaching out to get his attention when Coach suddenly blew his whistle causing both Scott and me to flinch and Stiles to gasp as if he was violently woken up. "Stilinski!"

"Uh-huh?" Stiles groaned looking around then up at Coach.

"I asked you a question"

"Uh Sorry, Coach what was it?" Stiles asked dazed.

"It was 'Stilinski, are you paying attention back there?'"

"Oh well, I am now" Stiles replied and I would have laughed if I wasn't so worried about him.

"Stilinski, stop reminding me why I drink...every night, does anybody else want to try the question on the board?" Stiles nodded then turned looking at Scott and me.

"I'm okay I just fell asleep for a second"

"Dude, you weren't asleep" Scott stated looking just as worried as I was.

"Look" I added pointing to his notes and Stiles looked down seeing WAKE UP written at least a hundred times on his page.

Later on Stiles, Scott, Lydia, Allison, Isaac and I all sat at a table outside during lunch because of what happened with Stiles today, we all needed to talk and it was better out her so that nobody would overhear us.

"Okay, so what happens to a person who has a near-death experience and comes out of it seeing things?" Scott asked.

"And is unable to tell what's real or not?" Stiles added.

"And is being haunted by demonic visions of dead relatives?" Allison added as well.

"They're all locked up because they're insane" Isaac answered and I rolled my eyes since we were meant to be helpful, not making them feel worse.

"Ha" Stiles laughed smirking sarcastically at him. "Can you at least try to be helpful, please?"

"For half my childhood, I was locked in a freezer, so being helpful is kind of a new thing for me"

"Hey, dude are you still milking that?"

"Yeah, maybe I am still milking that"

"Hi" we all turned and saw Kira standing behind us. "Hi, sorry I couldn't help overhearing what you guys were talking about and I think I actually might know what you're talking about" I started panicking and thinking that maybe we should have talked about this somewhere a lot more private instead of out in the open like this. "There's a Tibetan word for it, it's called 'Bardo' it literally means in-between state, the state between life and death"

"And what do they call you?" Lydia asked.

"Kira" Scott answered for her and I smiled since I could somehow tell he had a small crush on this girl. "She's in our History class"

"So are you talking Bardo in Tibetan Buddhism-" Lydia asked turning back to Kira.

"Or Indian?" I added cutting her off smiling at Lydia since she wasn't the only genius among us.

"Either, I guess" Kira said sitting down next to me. "But all the stuff you guys were just saying, all that happens in Bardo there are different progressive states where you can have hallucinations, some you see, some you just hear and you can by visited by peaceful and wrathful deities"

"Wrathful deities and what are those?" Isaac asked.

"Demons" I informed him familiar with the term.

"Demons" Stiles mumbled. "Why not?"

"Hold on, if there are different progressive states then what's the last one?" Allison asked.

"Death" Kira said and everyone looked around at each other. "You die" I heard every heart begin to race as we all shared a slightly alarmed look before Kira dismissed herself.

"So um…yeah I think we need to talk quieter about supernatural things, someone might overhear something we don't want repeated"

"Like Skye's a werewolf " Stiles joked as the group stood up to go to their next classes.

"That's not funny Stiles" I yelled as he walked away then rolled my eyes and caught up with Scott and Stiles.

After school was over Scott, Stiles and I went to talk to Deaton because he had to know something about what was going on with them since he was the one who told them to sacrifice themselves in the first place.

"In the middle of class I thought I saw Coach and everyone else doing sign language, then I woke up, found out I wasn't really asleep and looked at my notes, seeing 'wake up' written everywhere" Stiles explained to Deaton as we walked into the back.

"It sounds like your subconscious is trying to communicate with you" Deaton replied.

"Well, how do I tell my subconscious to use a language that I actually know?" Stiles asked him.

"Do you remember what the sign language looked like, the placement and movement of the hands?"

"You know sign language?" Scott asked sounding generally shocked.

"I know a little, let me give it a shot" I rolled my eyes because of course Deaton knew sign language.

"Okay, the first one was like this" Stiles held up his left hand, with his pointer finger up then used his right pointer finger to draw a circle around it.

"That's, when" Deaton nodded.

"Then there was this, twice" Stiles held up his hands, the right behind the left, moving it back and forth.

"That's, door"

"And this in between it" Stiles took his right thumb, bringing it from his chin up.

"That's it?"

"Yeah" Stiles replied then Deaton looked at us.

"'When is a door not a door?'" he translated.

"'When is a door not a door'?" Stiles asked him confused.

"When it's ajar" I answered familiar with the riddle.

"You're kidding me" Stiles replied looking around. "A riddle, my subconscious wants to tell me a riddle?"

"Not necessarily" Deaton started. "When the three of you went under the water, when you crossed from unconsciousness to a kind of super-consciousness you essentially opened a door in your minds"

"So what does that mean?" Scott asked. "The door's still open?"

"Ajar"

"A door into our minds?" Stiles asked.

"I did tell you it was risky"

"What do they do about it?" I asked.

"Well, that's difficult to answer" Deaton replied giving us a look.

"Oh no wait a second, I know that look" Stiles said, motioning to Deaton. "That's the 'we know exactly what's wrong with you but we have no idea how to fix it' look"

"One thing I do know is that having an opening like that into your mind, it's not good, you each need to close that door and you need to do it as soon as possible" I looked at the two boys beside me.

"Fantastic, thanks Deaton" I grabbed each of the boy's arms and led them out of the clinic but as we walked outside a police car pulled up and we saw it was Stiles' dad.

"Dad, what are you doing here?" Stiles asked as the Sheriff got out of the car.

"I'm here because I could use some help" the Sheriff replied. "Actually you're help" he pointed at Scott and me.

"Us why?" I frowned confused.

"Because eight years ago, almost an entire family died in a car accident, one of the bodies a young girl named Malia was never found" I nodded remembering him telling me and Stiles this last night. "There's enough evidence to have me thinking that that a werewolf could have caused the accident and then dragged her body away, if you two could somehow get a lock on her scent if you could somehow help me find her body, it might provide the missing clue"

"But what if it was a werewolf?" Stiles asked sharing a glance with me.

"Well, there's somebody out there who murdered an entire family, someone who still needs to be caught"

"We'll help" I replied nodding because I was actually a little curious myself and it beat sitting around doing nothing.

The next morning we all met at the Tate house and while the Sheriff kept Mr Tate busy Scott, Stiles and I went around the back and let ourselves through the back door stepping over a rat trap.

Stiles opened the glass door that connected the back porch into Malia's room which squeaked loudly from lack of use and Scott and I flinched at the sound before Stiles quickly opened it and we rushed inside before he closed it then began throwing stuffed toys at us off Malia's bed but when I inhaled them I could only smell some kind of animal.

"All I'm getting is some animal smell" I said throwing the stuffed toy back down on the bed.

"What kind of animal?" Stiles asked as he started looking for something else but he was answered when a growl filled the room, I turned and saw a massive Rottweiler snarling at us.

"Dog" Scott answered and Stiles turned around and almost dropped the toys in his hand as the dog began to growl baring it's teeth.

"Hi puppy" Stiles spoke up staring at the dog. "Scott get rid of it" Stiles added.

"Me?" Scott asked him keeping his eyes locked on the dog as it stared at us still growling.

"Yes you, glow your eyes at it something, be the Alpha" I looked up at Scott.

"I can't, I don't have control, Skye you do it" Scott mumbled but I shook my head, he needed to do this, he was afraid to turn and that wasn't going to get his mind door closed.

"No Scott you can't be scared of being an Alpha, I'm right here I'll pull you back if I need to, just do it" I put my hand on his shoulder.

"Okay buddy, you're going to have to try something" Stiles spoke up so Scott started to bend down with his hand out in front of him.

"Nice doggy…" I rolled my eyes but jumped when the dog started barking at us.

"Apollo!" Mr Tate yelled but the dog continued barking. "Apollo, shut up, shut the hell up!" I growled and flashed my eyes at it angrily and the dog suddenly stopped barking and laid down on his back whimpering submitting to me.

"Good boy" I smiled and rubbed it's belly then stood up and flipped my curls behind my shoulders smirking back at them as Stiles and Scott looked at me with a little bit of shock especially when the dog got up then turned and left the room, Stiles shrugged and walked over to the dresser picking up a book and handed it to Scott.

"Here, try that" Scott and I both looked at each other, thinking the same thing. "Anything?"

"All we're getting is that dog" Scott replied, Stiles sighed and turned back to the dresser and something caught his eye, he straightened up and looked at the picture on the dresser it was of two little girls, the oldest obviously being Malia so Stiles pulled out his phone and took a picture.

"Let's go" Stiles muttered and we quickly left getting into Stiles' jeep and meet up with his dad a little bit down the road, we got out and walked up to him as he leaded against his car.

"I'm sorry" Scott said as we walked up to the Sheriff. "We tried as hard as we could, if it wasn't so long ago, we might have been able to do it"

"It's okay it was a long shot" the Sheriff replied shaking his head. "In fact it was a pretty terrible idea I think I just ripped a wound open in that poor man, I never should have brought you guys here I don't know what I was thinking, thanks for trying all right?"

"Yeah"

"See you at home" the Sheriff said to Stiles before getting in his car and leaving.

"Aren't there a lot of cases that go unsolved?" Scott asked turning back to Stiles who stuck his hands in his jacket pocket.

"Yeah, I just think this is one he felt like he could've figured out right now"

"Why is it so important now?" Scott asked and I looked up at Stiles nervously since we both knew what Scott's dad was trying to do, he was trying to get Stiles' dad fired.

"Well he wants to be able to solve one more while he's still Sheriff" Stiles replied with a sigh then turned to look at Scott.

"What do you mean, 'still Sheriff'?" Scott asked looking between me and Stiles sensing we both knew, I sighed and looked up.

"Your dad, he's taking over the Sheriff station and is trying to get his dad fired" I replied and Scott took off angrily. "Okay maybe that wasn't such a good idea" I mumbled to myself as I turned to look at Stiles.

"Probably not" he agreed, I sighed then we got back into his jeep and he dropped me off home.

I went upstairs and fell onto my bed since it was just me and when I was alone, I felt the heartbreak and loneliness settle in and really just wanted Derek but he wasn't returning my calls or texts and that was making me doubt he was ever coming back which then started me off crying as I clutched my pillow desperate for some comfort that I can't get when I'm alone.

I never wanted to be one of those girls who became so dependent on a guy but when I met Derek it felt like my whole world suddenly began and ended with him so not having him with me felt like my world stopped spinning and I hate that feeling.

I shot up when I heard my window start lifting up and with the curtains closed I couldn't see who it was so I jumped into gear and grabbed them by the shirt yanking them through and held them down with my arm pressed against their windpipe and raised my fist.

"Whoa hey, Skye it's me" Stiles yelled underneath me.

"Stiles what the hell are you thinking?" I yelled getting off him and saw Scott quickly stumble through the window behind me. "Are you two idiots or something, you don't sneak up on a werewolf" Scott laughed as he helped Stiles to his feet.

"Geez what's wrong with you?" Stiles grumbled glaring at me, I rolled my eyes at him.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked them.

"We're going out" Scott replied and I raised an eyebrow at him then turned to look at Stiles who was smirking. "To find a dead body" my eyes widened.

"Are we seriously doing this again?" I asked them then sighed grabbing my jacket and started towards my door.

"Hey isn't this Derek's?" I turned around and saw Stiles holding up Derek's shirt, I growled and walked over snatching out of his hands and stuffed it back underneath my pillow.

"Let's go" I shoved him towards my door, he rolled his eyes laughing but I ignored him and we left getting into his jeep, I fell back into the backseat as Stiles started driving towards the preserve.

"Skye are you okay?" I looked up and saw Scott looking at me with concerned eyes.

"I'm fine, why do you ask?" I replied.

"Well because your bitcher than usual lately, you're sleeping with your ex-boyfriends t-shirt and frankly your starting to scare the hell out of us" Stiles replied looking back at me in the rear-view mirror.

"Wow thanks Stiles" I replied. "And Derek and I didn't break up, we're just…taking a break" god I sound like Scott when Allison broke up with him after we we're trapped in the school but Derek and I really didn't break up, at least we never said we we're breaking up.

"Yeah ok" Stiles muttered so I slapped the back of his head. "Ow what the hell was that for?"

"Skye we're just worried about you" I turned back to Scott and smiled.

"I'm okay Scotty, I'm just worried about him" Stiles parked in front of the usual sign saying 'No Entry After Dark' then they both turned to me.

"Has he called you?" I frowned thinking about my answer.

"Yeah all the time, now we doing this or what?" they frowned but took the lie I fed them and climbed out, I followed and soon we we're trudging through the woods in the dark yet again and I don't think this was a good idea given what happened the last time we did this but hey we we're different now, a lot was different actually. "We don't learn from past experiences do we?" I laughed following Scott since he was the one with the map and flashlight.

"Yeah well at least we have supernatural back up now" Stiles replied and I laughed. "You know, if my dad's right that means there's another werewolf in town that we haven't met yet" he added

"We know but I doubt it and was probably just an Omega passing through considering everyone knew the Hale's lived here and Derek's mother was pretty much respected by all werewolves"

"If it turns out to be something like triplets that form into like a three-headed hound of hell, I'm seriously not up for that" I chuckled again.

"Yeah me either" Scott agreed but I smiled. "Especially if I can't even control my own transformation anymore" I rolled my eyes.

"But hey a hellhound would be hot" I joked and bumped into them, they looked back at me with raised eyebrows. "What?" Stiles shook his head but at least Scott smiled at my joke.

We continued our trek with Scott leading then stopped at the top of a small ditch when he paused looking down at his phone but suddenly a coyote howled nearby and Stiles jumped knocking into Scott causing him to drop his phone, it rolled down the hill then stopped landing into a puddle of water, Scott looked back glaring at Stiles.

"Sorry buddy" he apologised as Scott jumped down into the ditch. "I hate coyotes so much, they always sound like they're mauling some tiny, helpless little animal" I laughed then jumped down next to Scott, Stiles tried to walk down the hill but slipped then spastically righted himself pretending he didn't just slip making me laugh again.

"It still works" Scott spoke up after picking up his phone out of the puddle as I looked around and something caught my eye.

"Let me see the flashlight" I grabbed it off Scott and pointed it in the direction of where I thought I saw something. "I think we found it" I led the them through the rocks until we came up to an over turned car.

"Uh, why wouldn't they move it?" Scott asked following us over to it. "Isn't it evidence?"

"Probably too much of a pain in the ass to tow out" Stiles replied as I was shining the flashlight over the car. "Look at this" he grabbed the flashlight from me and shined it on the car. "See those?" he asked motioning to the claw marks running along the side of the car. "Animal claws would be closer together right, a lot closer"

"Then it was a werewolf" I said tracing my hand over them before looking back at them.

"So my dad was right" Stiles replied then knelt down and looked around the car.

"What is that?" Scott asked pointing to something, Stiles reached in grabbing it and came back out with a doll, it was broken and barely holding together but we stared at it until it spoke 'I'm hungry' and we all jumped back screaming as Stiles dropped it.

"I think I just had a minor heart attack" Stiles panted, I looked up holding my chest feeling the same but there was a growl from in the distance and I looked up to see a pair of glowing eyes.

"Uh guys" I patted the air getting their attention. "Please tell me you see that" I stared at it as whatever or whoever it was growled at us, Stiles got up off the ground and walked up.

"We see it" he replied then the thing took off so Scott and I we're quick to give chase. "Wait, guys, Scott, Skye wait!" Stiles called after us but we didn't stop.

Scott and I both we're chasing after the coyote which is what I now realised it was but it was fast, unnaturally fast and we we're barely keeping up with it, I let myself shift and looked beside me to see Scott's eyes glowing which made me smile as we picked up the pace now aided by our enhanced speed which helped us when we jumped over a large ravine landing side by side to stare at the coyote as it snarled baring it's teeth right in our faces.

We glowed our eyes to get it to back down by my eyes widened when we we're suddenly looking into two cold steel blue eyes that reminded me so much of Derek that I felt my heart ache.

"Malia?" Scott said making me turn to look at him questionably but then the coyote or…Malia turned and took off running back into the forest, I went to give chase again but Scott grabbed my hand stopping me.

"What?" I asked turning back to face him.

"We need help" I frowned pinching my eyebrows together. "You need to get a hold of Derek, right now" I nodded grabbing my phone out of my pocket and texted Derek even though I doubted he would text back since he hasn't yet.

Derek, Call me
Derek we need help, call back ASAP

Derek's POV

I saw my phone flash from the table where they'd put it, the guy turned it off and I growled turning my head to glare at Peter since if he had stuck to the plan none of this would have happened and I could have been back in Beacon Hills already with Skyler, I knew Skye was probably freaking out that I haven't texted her back.

"Why are you looking at me like this is my fault?" I looked away shaking my head.

"Because it is your fault" I replied then grunted in pain when they turned up the electricity again.

"Yeah, your probably right" he agreed which just angered me more then we got shocked again and I couldn't help not yell in pain but at least Skye isn't here to watch this time.
