Skye's POV
I parked my bike in the school carpark, kicked out the stand then pulled my helmet off shaking out my long dark curls then frowned looking over at the bus that I'd seen driving in, the back door had been nearly ripped off its hinges and covered in blood and just about every police officer was surrounding it cataloging the evidence, I put my helmet onto the seat after jumping off and removed my black fingerless gloves seeing Scott and Stiles walking into the school so I quickly grabbed my helmet hanging it on my arm as I quickly ran to catch up with them.
"So you killed her?" I heard Stiles ask Scott.
"What?" I asked confused and they turned to me surprised I'd snuck up on them.
"I had a dream that I killed Allison" Scott replied then looked back at Stiles. "And I don't know, I just woke up and I was sweating like crazy and I couldn't breathe, I've never had a dream where I woke up like that before"
"Really, I have, it usually ends a little differently" Stiles replied.
"Eww gross Stiles" I scoffed scrunching up my face in disgust.
"A, I meant I've never had a dream that felt that real and B, never give us that much detail about you in bed again" Scott replied.
"I second that thanks" just the thought alone was enough to make me gag.
"Noted, let me take a guess here-"
"No, I know you think it has something to do with me going out with Allison tomorrow like I'm gonna lose control and rip her throat out" Scott said cutting Stiles off and I glared at him for saying that.
"No, of course not" Stile's said then paused "Yeah, that's totally it"
"Wow you're a great friend Stiles" I replied then turned back to Scott. "I however am not really your friend so I can tell you that if you did or do anything to hurt Allison ever I will shoot your nuts right off okay" they both stared at me shocked as I smirked.
"That's nice Skyler" Stiles scoffed then turned to Scott. "Hey, come on its gonna be fine, alright?" I raised an eyebrow at him. "Personally I think your handling this pretty freaking amazingly, you know it's not like there's a lycanthropy for beginners class you can take"
"Yeah not a class but maybe a teacher" Scott replied and even I was shocked that Scott now seemed to want Derek's help.
"Who Derek?" Stiles asked then slapped Scott upside the head. "You forget the part where we got him tossed in jail?"
"That was your own dumb faults I tried to talk you two idiots out of it-"
"Yeah I know!" Scott exclaimed cutting me off. "But chasing her, dragging her to the back of the bus, it felt so real" my head snapped up when he said bus.
"How real?" Stiles asked him.
"Like it actually happened" Scott replied as I glared at him.
"Wait what?" I asked them and they looked up at me confused but before I could tell them about the bus outside they walked out and saw it for themselves.
"I think it did" Stiles mumbled turning to look at Scott as I glared at him.
"If you hurt her I'm going to kill you" I turned and ran back into school with Scott not far behind me as we looked for Allison while I panicked since if anything happened to her it was going to be my fault and her dad is going to kill me because it's my job to watch after her while we we're at school and I should be convincing her not to pursue a relationship with a freaking werewolf but I'm not and I still have no idea why.
"She's probably fine" I heard Stiles say trying to placate us.
"She's not answering my texts, Stiles" I felt myself start to hyperventilate as I was texting her myself.
"God come on Ally" I mumbled to myself.
"You know it could just be a coincidence, all right?" I looked up at Stiles with a glare. "A seriously amazing coincidence"
"Stiles just shut up and help us find her" I snapped and continued to scan the faces of students around us but Allison was nowhere to be seen.
"Do you see her?" Scott asked.
"No" I replied panicking and put my hand over my heart as it felt like it was about to beat out of my chest.
Scott turned a corner then ran into some lockers and punched one out of anger, frustration and probably a lot of fear before realizing what he did and backed away from it but he ran straight into Allison who was alive, I breathed out a huge sigh of relief as I allowed myself to calm down.
"Oh thank god" I whispered staring up at the ceiling.
'Attention students this is your principal, I know you're all wondering about the incident that occurred last night to one of our buses, while the police work to determine what happened classes will proceed as scheduled, thank you' students groaned as I continued to stare at Allison in relief.
"Save me a seat at lunch?" Allison asked ruffling Scott's hair smiling.
"Yeah" Scott agreed nodding his head smiling back at her.
"Cya later Skye" I nodded then turned back to Scott when Allison was gone.
"Your damn lucky Scott" I glared at him then we turned and saw Jackson inspecting the locker Scott had punched in and I realized it must have been his.
"What are you two looking at?" he snapped at us just as the lock fell off, we shared a look then smiled and walked to class which unfortunately was chemistry since Mr Harris is my least favorite teacher at this school, I took a seat beside Scott and immediately started taking notes so Harris wouldn't start his agonizing unfair torture he liked to call modern punishment.
"Maybe it was my blood on the door" I heard Scott say making me look over to see he was looking back at Stiles who was behind us.
"Could have been animal blood" Stiles replied and I rolled my eyes returning to my work. "You know maybe you caught a rabbit or something"
"And did what?" Scott asked him.
"Ate it" Stiles replied and I couldn't help laughing quietly especially at Scott's reply.
"Raw!?" he exclaimed.
"No you stopped to bake it in a little werewolf oven" my laughter increased at Stiles' attempt at a joke. "I don't know you're the one that can't remember anything"
"Mr Stilinski, if that's your idea of a hushed whisper you might want to pull the headphones out once in a while I think you, Mr McCall and Miss Venandi would benefit in a little bit of distance, yes" I raised my hands in the air because I hadn't even been talking.
"No!" Stiles protested but Harris just pointed at a seat in the front of the room for Scott and Stiles in the opposite corner in the back so at least I didn't have to move.
"Let me know if the separation anxiety gets to be too much" I sniggered at that one as Stiles scoffed not appreciating the joke which was kind of funny.
"Hey, I think they found something" the girl next to Scott suddenly yelled and everyone stood rushing over to the windows, I looked out and saw a guy was being wheeled into an ambulance.
"That's not a rabbit" Scott said backing up, I couldn't tell if the guy was alive or not until out of nowhere the man sat up and started screaming causing everyone to jump and I let out a shriek of surprise as I backed up next to Scott.
"This is good, this is good" Stiles said following me. "He's not dead he got up, dead guys can't do that"
"Stiles!" Scott replied looking at him. "I did that" I frowned not believing that Scott could have done that, I thought he'd be able to do this without hurting anyone.
I walked into the cafeteria at lunch in front of Scott and Stiles still hearing them arguing over the fact that Scott thinks he attacked that guy while I stayed silent since I didn't know what to believe right now, a part of me couldn't let myself think that Scott would be capable of hurting someone and yet the hunter side of my brain wanted to shoot first and ask questions later, I sighed as we grabbed our food before taking a seat at an empty table.
"But dreams aren't memories"
"Actually you can dream fragments of memories" I argued with Stiles who just glared at me as we sat down.
"Then it wasn't a dream" Scott argued with both of us. "Something happened last night and I can't remember what"
"What makes you so sure Derek even has all the answers?" Stiles asked him.
"Because during the full moon he wasn't changed, he was in total while I was running around in the middle of the night attacking some totally innocent guy"
"You don't know that" Stiles and I replied at the same time.
"I don't not know it!" Scott exclaimed quietly. "I can't go out with Allison, I have to cancel"
"No you're not cancelling okay?" Stiles replied and I turned to glare at him because Scott had a valid point. "You can't just cancel your entire life, we'll figure it out"
"Figure what out?" Lydia asked putting her tray down next to Scott before sitting down as Stiles scoffed shocked that she sat down with them.
"Just uh homework" Scott replied.
"Yeah" Stiles agreed with a smile before leaning closer to Scott. "Why is she sitting with us?" I rolled my eyes as I grabbed the pudding off my tray and peeled back the lid then spooned some into my mouth as the rest of Lydia's clique sat down at the table including Allison who sat on the other side of Scott and in front of me.
"Get up" Jackson said walking up looking at the kid at the head of the table.
"How come you never ask Danny to get up?" he protested.
"Because I don't stare at his girlfriend's coin slot" I choked a bit on my pudding at Danny's reply as Jackson pushed the guy out of the chair then sat down. "So I hear they're saying it's some type of animal attack, probably a cougar" I looked up at Scott watching his reaction to that.
"I heard mountain lion" Jackson replied and I rolled my eyes since they were the same thing.
"A cougar is a mountain lion" Lydia remarked. "Isn't it?" she asked after realizing she was giving away the act she put on pretending she was dumb when I knew she wasn't after only a few weeks here.
"Who cares" Jackson replied. "The guy's probably some homeless tweaker who's going to die anyway"
"Wow Jackson and here I thought you couldn't be any more of a jackass" I said looking up with a smirk as the table laughed and Jackson glared at me.
"Actually I just found out who it is, check it out" Stiles spoke up then played a video on his phone of the local news.
'The sheriff's department won't speculate on details of the incident but confirmed the victim, Garrison Meyers did survive the attack' they showed a picture of the victim. 'Meyers was taken to a local hospital where he remains in critical condition'
"I know this guy" Scott spoke up confusing everyone.
"You do?" Allison asked him.
"Yeah when I used to take the bus back when I lived with my dad, he was the driver" I frowned leaning back in my seat and I let the new information sink in.
"Can we talk about something slightly more fun please?" Lydia asked then turned to Allison. "Like oh, where are we going tomorrow night?" Scott and Allison both turned to her. "You said you and Scott we're hanging out tomorrow night right?"
"Um, we were thinking of what we wanted to do" Allison replied clearly dejected that Lydia had just seemed to invite herself on their date.
"Well I'm not sitting at home again watching lacrosse videos, so if the four of us are hanging out then we are doing something fun"
"Hang out?" Scott asked turning to Allison who was chugging her water bottle. "Like the four of us?" I saw Stiles holding his mouth and shaking his head so I jabbed my elbow into his side. "Do you wanna hang out, like us and them?"
"Yeah I guess, sounds fun" Allison replied but I could tell it was the last thing she wanted to be doing.
"You know what else sounds fun, stabbing myself in the face with this fork" Jackson said holding up said cutlery.
"How about bowling, you love to bowl" Lydia exclaimed excitedly.
"Yeah with actually competition" Jackson argued.
"How do you know were not actual competition?" Allison replied and I smiled thinking about the old times when Allison and I would bowl with her dad when he babysat me but then my dad told me about the werewolf hunting side of my family and we drifted apart. "You can bowl right?" she added turning to Scott.
"Sort of" he replied and I took that as a big fat no.
"Is it sort of, or yes?" Jackson smirked leaning forward in his seat to stare at Scott.
"Yes" Scott replied then leaned forward himself. "In fact I'm a great bowler" total lie and it made me laugh at how embarrassed he was going to be, hope Allison doesn't mind.
"You are a terrible bowler!" Stiles exclaimed as I walked behind them towards the school exit since I had the afternoon free now.
"I know, I'm such an idiot" Scott exclaimed
"God, it was like watching a car wreck" Stiles exclaimed. "I mean, first it turned into the whole group date thing and then out of nowhere comes that phrase…"
"Hang out" Scott cut him off.
"You don't hang out with hot girls ok it's like death" Stiles pointed out and I was offended by that but then I wasn't exactly hanging out with them or friends with them I was just keeping my eyes on Scott. "Once it's hanging out, you might as well be her gay best friend, you and Danny can start hanging out" Stiles continued and I laughed.
"How is this happening?" Scott questioned. "I either killed a guy or I didn't?"
"I don't think Danny likes me very much" Stiles interrupted and I rolled my eyes because that was so off topic and insensitive if you asked me.
"I ask Allison on a date and now we're hanging out"
"Am I not attractive to gay guys?" Stiles continued to interrupt Scott.
"I make first line and the team captain wants to destroy me and now…now I'm gonna be late for work" Scott said leaving, I looked up at Stiles then shook my head.
"Your insensitive you know that right and you don't help" he gave me a look which just made me smile as I walked out and headed over to my bike frowning when I saw a note tapped the gas tank, I pulled it off then read it.
Hey Skye,
You ready to talk about your denial yet, if you are I'm going to be out and about later so text me if you want to finally have that talk
213-203-5792
I frowned scrunching the piece of paper up knowing that it was from Derek and stuffed it into my pocket before swinging my leg over my bike pulling on my helmet before kicking the kick stand up and went home, I walked upstairs and changed into some work out gear then grabbed my iPod and my arm band putting them on then locked up and went for a run needing the work out, I ran through the forest before taking a break resting my back against a tree as I listened to the forest life around me and couldn't smile as the birds chirped and tweeted above me as I hummed along to my music.
"You shouldn't be out here alone" I jumped removing the earbuds and looked up to see Derek leaning against the tree.
"Are you following me again?" I asked standing up and reaching for my dagger but realized I'd left it on my bed. "Ah crap" I muttered looking up and saw him smiling.
"Not armed, losing your touch"
"No just a momentarily lapse of better judgement" I argued angrily. "Now answer the question, are you following me?"
"I'm merely concerned for your safety and it was justified since anything could have snuck up on you out here and you're not armed"
"I can still kick ass" I replied glaring at me. "Especially yours if you try anything buster" he smirked.
"What could you possibly do to me without your advantages?"
"I've been trained in just about every man to man combat since I was eight so try me" I raised my fists getting ready to fight.
"I'm not going to fight you Skyler"
"Why not afraid to be beaten by a girl?" he shook his head.
"No, I'm not going to fight you because I could seriously hurt you" I rolled my eyes then charged knocking him back with a swift kick to his chest. "I'm serious Skyler" I swung my fist out but he caught it. "Stop" I swung my other out but he was quick to catch that one to then he swiftly had me pinned against the tree with my hands behind my back face first into the bark. "Your dead" he smirked leaning in and I felt my heart beat faster at the close proximity.
"Okay let me go" I spat and he loosened his grip allowing me to turn around but now I was pressed with my back against the tree and my chest to his front and I looked up into his eyes feeling my heartrate increase even more as I took in his face especially his eyes.
"You ready to talk yet?" I shook my head and watched his frown creep into his features which kind of made him even more attractive just as his smile did which was rare, I looked down at his lips before lifting my gaze back to his eyes trying to force down my attraction towards him but it only grew as I stared at him.
"Derek" he sighed then stepped backwards and I was allowed to breath without inhaling his intoxicating woodsy pine smell, maybe if I gave in only once it would help me get over my little crush and would convince him too that we weren't mates. "I should go" I added looking down at my hands.
"You should" he agreed nodding but I didn't move.
"Oh fuck it" I ran up throwing myself into his arms and kissed him, he kissed back deepening it as his hands traced down my body to settle on my ass then he hoisted me up to wrap my legs around his waist crashing me back against the tree as we devoured each other's faces, I reached for his belt and started undoing it.
"Wait, wait, wait" Derek stopped my hands. "What are you doing?"
"What does it look like?" I smirked pulling the zipper down on his jeans.
"Skyler no, I'm not doing this until you admit you have feelings for me" that snapped me back to reality.
"Well I don't and I never will" I jumped down angry and stalked off.
"When are you going to stop playing me on" I turned around.
"I'm not playing you Derek, I just don't feel anything for you besides lust and that's not enough to throw my whole future away"
"You call hunting a future!" he yelled.
"Yes because it's better than getting disowned from my own family for getting involved with a werewolf" he growled and I watched his eyes start glowing. "I mean it this time Derek, stay away from me!" I turned and ran going back home forcing back the unwanted tears.
The next morning I woke up and noticed my dad hadn't been home at all so I walked downstairs in my pajamas not really giving a shit since it was the weekend but just as I started getting my cereal out there was a knock on the front door, I groaned then walked towards it and looked through the peep hole seeing Scott there which made me frown since I never gave him my address, I swung the door open and he stared at me for a few seconds before slowing scanning his eyes over what he could see from the doorway then slowly looked back at me as I grew frustrated.
"What do you want Scott?" I crossed my arms over my chest nervous now because I was just in a singlet top and no bra.
"I uh…I wanted to ask if you would come see Derek with me" I frowned and went to decline since I never wanted to see Derek again. "He might not be as hostile with you there" I scoffed thinking he'd probably be more hostile after yesterday. "Please" he added sounding like such a kicked puppy.
"Okay fine" I held the door open more. "Let me get changed then we'll go" he nodded and hesitantly looked around. "You can come in, I'm not the one who bites" he chuckled a bit.
"Is your…is your dad home?"
"No he's been out since last night so we should be safe for now and besides he doesn't know about you so just don't go all Scooby and you should be safe" he nodded then walked inside letting me close the door. "Help yourself to a drink if you want"
I went upstairs and into my bedroom quickly going over to my closet and changed into some blue jeans, a black V-neck t-shirt then pulled on my blue leather jacket and my combat boots slipping my dagger into its place before slipping my family crest necklace over my head then went back downstairs seeing Scott exactly where I left him.
"Come on Scooby" he rolled his eyes at my new favorite nickname for him as I lead him out into the garage and watched his eyes widen at the blue 2006 Chevy Corvette that never got driven since it was my bothers but he had his bike up at Berkeley so he left it with us.
"Whoa" I smiled.
"It's my brothers" he looked over at me.
"You have a brother?" I nodded my head.
"Yeah four years older than me"
"Where is he?"
"College" I shrugged then hopped onto my bike and held out the spare helmet for him.
"Your family must be loaded considering that and…this" he looked between my brother's Corvette and my Ducati which made me smile as he took the helmet.
"If you like my Ducati you'd love my brother's 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250R" I laughed at his facial expression. "What can I say our mom spoiled us" I shrugged and felt a pang of sadness from talking about my mom and thankfully Scott didn't ask as he climbed on behind me before I drove out of the garage then closed the garage door using the remote then took off towards Derek's house which I really didn't want to be anywhere near but Scott was desperate and I did say he could trust me so…
I pulled up to a stop when I saw a cop car parked out the front of the charred Hale house with a deputy about to walk in but then his dog started going nuts barking and trying to climb out the window through a small gap and it freaked out the deputy enough that he jumped back into his car and sped off making me laugh knowing Derek had been the cause of that, we walked up the hill further now the deputy was gone and looked at the house.
"I know you can hear me" Scott said towards the house talking to Derek. "I need your help" we waited and waited but didn't get any response so I walked up further ready to kick the door down but when we walked up onto the porch Derek came out closing the door behind him. "Okay, I know I was a part of you getting arrested and that we basically announced you being here to the hunters" Scott and Derek both looked at me.
"Hey don't look at me like that!" I spat and rolled my eyes.
"I also don't know what happened to your sister" Scott continued ignoring my outburst. "But I think I did something last night, I had a dream about…someone but someone else got hurt" I noticed he'd paused before he accidently said Allison's name. "And it turns out that part of the dream might have actually happened"
"You think you attacked the driver?" Derek asked finally speaking.
"Did you see what I did last night?" Scott asked him.
"No"
"Can you at least tell me the truth?" Scott asked Derek whose face remained impassive. "Am I going to hurt someone?"
"Yes" Derek replied still unemotional.
"Could I kill someone?" Scott asked beginning to freak out.
"Yes" Derek repeated and I rolled my eyes but at least it was the truth and he wasn't sugar coating it for Scott because it was about time he realized that he was dangerous if not trained and I know that sounded horrible but it was the truth.
"Am I going to kill someone?" Scott asked raising his voice a bit.
"Probably" Derek and I replied at the same time and he looked at me for a second before returning his gaze back to Scott as he walked over to a support beam for the porch roof and leaned against.
"Look I can show you how to control the remember, I can show you how to control the shift even on a full moon but it's not going to come for free" I frowned at Derek.
"What do you want?" Scott asked him without even looking up.
"You'll find out but for now I'm going to give you what you want, go back to the bus, go inside, see it, feel it" I quirked an eyebrow at him as that made no sense. "Let your senses, your sight, smell, touch let them remember for you"
"That's it?" Scott asked him. "Just go back"
"Do you want to know what happened?"
"I just want to know if I hurt him" Scott replied finally looking up at Derek.
"No you don't" he replied. "You want to know if you'll hurt her" he added and I frowned knowing he was talking about Allison, I looked over at Scott and touched his arm in an attempt to make him feel better but knew it wasn't going to do much good then when I looked up I'd noticed Derek was gone so I grabbed Scott's arm and led him towards my bike.
"Thankyou for helping him" I spoke back to the house before jumping on then let Scott get on behind me before taking off back towards the highway heading to Stiles' place with Scott giving me directions, I parked on the curb and let him climb off the took the spare helmet off him trying to give him a reassuring smile. "You're going to be fine Scott but hurt Allison and I'll-"
"Shoot me I know" I laughed hitting his shoulder lightly.
"Hey just out of curiosity how did you find out where I lived?" I asked him.
"I followed your scent" my eyes widened.
"Oh well…I guess I'll see you at school" he nodded so I pulled my helmet back on the secured the spare one to the seat before kicking the stand up and taking off heading back home for the night to cram in study and finish off this week homework before I crawled into bed feeling exhausted from today even though I barely did anything but before I could let myself fall asleep I heard a knock on my bedroom window confusing the crap out me considering I was on the second floor so I walked over and peeked outside seeing Scott perched on my roof.
"Scott what the hell are you doing?" I asked as I opened the window and let him in. "My dad's downstairs and if he saw you-" he stood up and it was then I noticed he was covered in blood. "Oh my god what happened to you?" I grabbed his hand and led him towards my bathroom.
"I'm sorry I didn't know where else to go" I nodded wetting a cloth in the sink.
"Shirt off now" he looked at me a little shocked but removed his shirt and I gently started cleaning out the wounds and checking them over. "You'll heal, in fact you're already starting" he nodded wincing when I dug in a little harder. "Sorry" I sighed dabbing some disinfectant onto the cloth and brushed it over the wounds hearing him wince again. "Now who did this to you?"
"Derek" he replied and I looked up shocked.
"Derek?" he nodded. "What happened?"
"The bus driver died and I thought Derek had been the reason so I went to his house and we got into a fight" I rolled my eyes cursing his idiocy again.
"Scott he's a born werewolf and can be twice as strong as you especially since you're still learning so you need to stop going after him, he's not the enemy" he nodded already knowing this.
"I know Derek told me about the Alpha" I looked up.
"He did?" he nodded again. "Then you know why it's important you stay away from us hunters then" he shook his head so I sighed. "Scott the Argents and even my dad will use you to find the Alpha because your connected to him and he'll be protective of you if he cares about his first Beta which is something we'll test out and I don't want that to happen to you" he looked up with a small smile.
"You know even though you speak about yourself as a hunter, you're not like them" I frowned shaking my head but had to admit since moving here I was starting to doubt everything I'd been told about werewolves, they weren't all bad.
"Yeah well I'm still a hunter and can't keep covering for you so you need to be more careful" he nodded then stood up grabbing his shirt but it was ruined. "Here you can have this" I went into my closet and brought back a large grey t-shirt.
"Whose is it?" he asked pulling it on.
"An ex-boyfriends so toss it if you want when you get home, I don't really care" he nodded then walked over to my window.
"Thanks Skye" I nodded.
"Just don't make a habit of this" he laughed then left leaving me alone again, I sighed and fell back into my bed shaking my head with a small smile on my face, I'd never admit it to anybody but Scott was growing on me and I'd almost consider him a friend if we weren't meant to be mortal enemies.
