A/N: Two POV's: Skye's and Derek's

Skye's POV

When I pulled up in the garage and walked into the main living room I saw both my dad and Jake standing their equally pissed glaring at me with their arms crossed and for once they resembled father and son since usually they didn't.

I always found that funny since neither Jake or I shared our fathers eyes or hair colour since we both had our mom's blue eyes and blonde hair and my dad had dark brown hair and hazel brown eyes but as Jake was getting older I saw the light darker tinges of brown through his hair.

"Where have you been Skyler Bethany Venandi?" I flinched at my full name and looked at Jake properly seeing the bruise over his right eye.

"I was out" I replied shrugging my shoulders and headed towards the stairs just wanting to crash.

"Not good enough, I want to know where you were and who you were with and why you knocked out your brother" I turned to them angrily.

"I was with Scott okay happy" I knew I probably shouldn't have said that but I didn't care at the moment since I had more important things to worry about.

"Who is Scott?" my dad asked and I frowned reluctantly turning back to them.

"He's just a friend…of sorts" oh god this is so embarrassing but it's the only thing that's going to get them off my case.

"Are you two sleeping together, is that why you've been acting so weird since we moved here" my dad asked making my eyes widen.

"Oh my god dad, no!" I exclaimed shaking my head and fought the urge to gag since even the thought of me with Scott like that was gross, not that Scott wasn't attractive but he so wasn't my type. "We we're talking about Allison okay, they dated and he wanted my help with him winning her back and I was trying to be a good friend since I could use some of those" I watched my dads eyes soften but my brother didn't look like he believed me for a second. "Can I go upstairs now?"

"Okay" my dad finally agreed so I ran up the stairs two at time relieved to be out of there, I went into my room and closed the door behind me then ran over to my window just in case Derek was waiting but I frowned when I couldn't see him and it made me slightly worried at what that meant and knew I couldn't text or call him just in the off chance he'd been captured.

"Please be okay" I whispered to myself then started changing for bed since I was exhausted but when I reached to the waistline of my jeans for my gun I became aware that it wasn't there and it was only then I realised Derek knocked it out my hand when he grabbed me and I never picked it up which meant it was back at the Hale house and probably found by the Argent's who would know it was mine since all my weapons had my initials carved into them like a total amateur move.

I had no luck of sneaking out tonight to see if it was there since no doubt Jake will be keeping his eyes on me especially after I knocked him out and my dad probably was too still a little angry that I'd hurt Jake to escape and was out after curfew but also because the Argent's were probably still staking the Hale house out especially if they have Derek.

"I'm dead" I groaned falling down face first against my bed ready to pull my hair out.

I was restless the whole night as I tried to sleep because my mind was too busy racing with thoughts about Derek and the fact that the Argent's might know about me knowing Derek and god forbid helping him lately, I got up early having given up on sleep and headed downstairs to grab something to eat since I was starving and found Jake sitting at the breakfast table nursing a cup of coffee in his hands.

I walked over and poured myself one then attempted to walk back upstairs but his voice stopped me making me sigh loudly and turn to face him, I still felt horrible for what I didn't last night but wouldn't take it back and that made me even guiltier.

"Jake I'm sorry about last night"

"Don't lie Skye and don't spell me the crap that you we're really with this kid your saying you were with because if you were then you would've just told me that last night, every word that has left your mouth since I got here has been a lie and frankly I'm tired of it" I frowned.

"Jake-"

"No I'm sick of the lies Skye, I thought we we're closer than that, I've always been the one here for you, I was the one who soothed your nightmares when you were a kid, comforted you when your first boyfriend broke your heart and I was the one who went against all of dads rules when you wanted to get that tattoo that's on your collarbone" I gently touched it remembering the day I'd gotten it, dad doesn't even know about it since Jake was the one who took me on one of his visits last year and bribed the tattooist into doing it. "Remember 'Familiae Semper' well you can forget it now" he stood up and walked away leaving me reeling from figurative kick to the gut he just sent me.

Never had my brother turned his back on me and never had I felt so alone then I do right now because he was right, all through my life Jake has been the one I counted on when needing advice or a shoulder to cry on and he was more than just my big brother he was my best friend and now I'd ruined that all because I've fallen in love with a werewolf.

"Ja-" I went to call him back but realised there was nothing I could say that would make this better and god forbid I couldn't tell him the truth because then I'd lose him forever because he was right, I've turned my back on my family so why shouldn't they turn their back on me. "I'm sorry Jakey" I whispered to myself then headed back up to my room to change since I wanted to check in on Scott and see if he'd heard anything from Derek.

Dad surprisingly let me out of the house without question and even said I was ungrounded in light of the formal on Friday night which is something I haven't even thought about until now but was pretty sure I wouldn't be going.

I knocked on the door of Scott's house but didn't get an answer so I tried the handle and it opened making me roll my eyes since Scott was pretty stupid still and underestimating the danger of Peter, I headed upstairs just hearing his voice and Stiles'.

"So you lost your phone, why don't you just get a new one?" I walked in and stood in the doorway seeing Stiles sitting in front of me in a chair and Scott was kneeling on the ground looking underneath his bed.

"I can't afford a new one and I can't do this alone, we have to find Derek"

"Well 'A' you're not alone, you have me" I rolled my eyes at Stiles' reply as Scott stood up and his eyes widened when he saw me before he walked towards his dresser. "And 'B' didn't you say Derek walked into gunfire, he sounds pretty dead"

"He's not dead" I replied and made Stiles jump.

"Oh my…what the hell Skyler, make a noise when you walk into a room" I rolled my eyes.

"The Argent's wont kill him, their plan is to use Derek to get to Peter" I added walking in and sat on Scott's bed as he threw clothes out of his bathroom.

"Alright well so then lets just let them do what they're planning, you know they use Derek to get to Peter problem solved" I glared at Stiles.

"Not if Peter's going after Allison to find Derek!" Scott exclaimed coming out of the bathroom making my eyes widen and wonder what the hell I've missed. "I can't protect her on my own which means we need to find Derek first, just…just help me!" Scott threw a ball off his desk and I watched as it hit Stiles in the head.

"You know you probably lost it when you two we're fighting" Stiles replied throwing the ball down angrily. "You remember that, when he was trying to kill you two, after you guys interrupted him trying to kill Jackson, are you starting to see a pattern of violent behaviour?"

"He wasn't going to kill anybody" Scott said slowly stopping his search for his phone.

"And we're not letting him die" I added glaring at Stiles as I picked up the ball and angrily pegged it at his head.

"Couldn't you at least think about letting him die, for me"

"Keep talking and I'll think harder about killing you" I spat at him and he glared at me but our attention snapped up to Scott who looked up abruptly.

"What?" Stiles and I asked him at the same time. "Jinx" Stiles added making me roll my eyes at the childish line.

"My mom just got home from work" he moved to lean against his desk and didn't look to happy.

"Is she okay?" Stiles asked him but Scott just shook his head.

"What is she doing?" I asked him.

"Crying" he replied then sat beside me on his bed, I sighed loudly knowing how he felt right now.

"Scott you can't protect everyone, believe me" I spoke up frowning.

"I have to" he replied making me roll my eyes but had to admit I liked his optimism.

Derek's POV

I kept my head down ignoring the soreness in my arms which were still chained above me as I listened to Kate going through my jacket looking for anything that would lead her to Peter but knew she wouldn't find anything.

"Come on Derek, he killed your sister" I heard her take the cash in my wallet but I didn't care about that. "Now either you're not telling me because well you want to kill him yourself or for some reason your protecting him" she chuckled walking towards me then grabbed my face in her hands. "Look at that sour face" she was holding my license in her other hand. "I bet you always used to get people coming up to you saying, 'Smile Derek, why don't you smile more', don't you just wanna kick those people in the face" I finally looked up at her.

"I can think of one" I ground out glaring at her.

"Promise?" she turned back towards me. "Cause if I thought you'd be that much fun, I'll let you go" I didn't reply and hung my head again letting my thought drift back to Skye hoping she got away last night. "Alright lets see, nothing, nothing god I hate this detective crap" I looked over seeing her on my phone and was relived I thought to delete Skye's messages just for an occasion like this.

"Are you going to torture me or are you just going to talk me to death, huh?"

"Oh sweetie, I don't want to torture you" she walked towards me again. "I just want to catch up" she laughed again turning away from me again. "Remember all the fun we had together?"

"Like the time you burned my family alive?" I spat at her angrily but she just laughed spinning around then walked towards me again.

"No I was thinking more about the hot, crazy sex we had" she replied running her fingers up my abdomen and I moved just slightly hating her even near me let alone touching me again. "But the fire thing yeah, that was fun too" I pulled on the chains attempting to get at her but they kept me bound. "I love how much you hate me, remember how this felt?" she moved down then slowly licked up my front which caused me to snap at her with my fangs hating that she was touching what was Skye's. "Mm sweetheart, I really don't want torture you" the door started sliding open and she turned. "But he does" I looked up and saw none other than Skyler's father and had to fight to keep a neutral face through the anger.

Skye's POV

Argh Monday morning back at school which was the last place I wanted to be right now but unfortunately had no choice, I got up and showered really quick before climbing out and walked over to my closet pulling out my grey skinny ripped jeans, a simple white t-shirt and a black over shirt then grabbed my usual combat boots, I quickly dressed then rode to school because I finally got my cast off yesterday after I had a check up and the bone was almost completely healed I just had to wear a wrist splint to prevent the bone from rebreaking while it finished the last of it's healing which I was relieved about.

I walked down the hall and found the two idiots leaning around some lockers looking down the hall at Allison who was talking to Jackson, I walked towards them and cleared my throat dramatically but Stiles still jumped.

"Hey I cleared my throat this time" I spoke up when he glared at me.

"Yeah well make noise with you feet too, seriously no one is that quiet" I rolled my eyes then looked down the hall again.

"Any reason Jackson looks like he's seen a ghost?" I asked looking at Scott mostly but he just shrugged.

"Hey don't worry I'll still be there and so will Skye" I raised an eyebrow in confused at Stiles.

"I'm still going" Scott argued.

"Okay what are we talking about?" I asked them.

"Formal" they replied together.

"Oh" I muttered looking at the poster near Scott's head and frowned.

"Is that even a good idea?" Stiles asked looking back at Scott. "Do you even have a date?"

"Not yet" Scott replied.

"Do you have a suit?" Stiles asked him again.

"Not yet" Scott repeated.

"Do you have a ticket to the formal, a ride there?" Scott sighed turning to face us.

"No and no" I smiled.

"So you're going to ride your bike to a dance that you're not even allowed to go to without a date, a suit or a way in, with werewolves and werewolf hunters all out to kick your little werewolf ass" I rolled my eyes but found myself laughing at Stiles' reply.

"Yeah, you gonna help me?" Scott asked him.

"Hell yeah" Stiles agreed then turned to me with a mischievous smirk.

"No" I replied before he even said anything.

"You didn't even know what I was going to say" I rolled my eyes again.

"Yeah I did and sorry Scott but I'm not going to be your date because I'm not going to the formal, since I have a werewolf to find" Scott frowned knowing I was talking about Derek. "You protect Ally, I'll worry about finding Derek" he nodded. "Cya boys and good luck with the date Scooby" I walked off and just heard Stiles reply that I was rude but I didn't care, I walked over to my locker and started putting away my books that I'd taken home for homework but looked up when I heard my name and saw Allison behind me.

"Hey Skye" I smiled.

"Hey Ally, what's up?"

"I came over here to ask if you wanted to come dress shopping with Lydia and I after school?" I frowned and shut my locker turning to her.

"I'm not going to the formal"

"Why not?" she asked me pouting and it made me feel guilty.

"Uh…I don't have a date"

"That's okay you can come with Jackson and I, he won't mind I swear" I sighed looking up into her big pleading eyes and frowned knowing I was contradicting everything I just told Scott and Stiles.

"Alright fine, I'll meet you guys at the mall" she smiled.

"Great see you then" I frowned shaking my head then headed to class seeing Scott and Stiles already there.

"Allison sucked me in so I'll be at the dance to" Stiles looked up happily. "But I'm still not your date Scott besides it's better you go stag anyway if your not meant to be there, you can sneak in and around then" he nodded understanding so I focused in on class as it started.

I met up with Allison and Lydia after school at the mall and we headed into Macy's since Lydia insisted they had the best dresses so we just had to go there first but Allison seemed really distant and moody.

"What's wrong Allison?" I asked because if anyone deserved the right to be moody it was me, they had no idea what real hardships were since my family was falling apart, my boyfriend was MIA and his Uncle was out to kill everyone.

"Nothing's wrong, I just…I have a lot on my mind"

"You could smile, at least" Lydia said cutting in. "Ever hear the saying, 'Never frown, someone could be falling in love with your smile' smile Allison I'm buying you guys dresses" I stared at her shocked because we weren't exactly friends.

"You don't have to do that" I argued.

"Don't worry Skye consider it a 'Let's be friends' gift" I frowned but shrugged and just accepted it.

"Have to admit as far as apologies go, that's more than I expected" Allison spoke up.

"Excellent" Lydia replied flipping her hair back.

"But not as much as I'm gonna ask" Allison told her.

"What, what's that supposed to mean?"

"It means you're going to cancel on whatever dumb, roided-up jock you said yes to and you're going to go with somebody else"

"Who?" Lydia asked her.

"Him" Allison said looking over at Stiles, who was trying on cologne but ended up sneezing spastically. "Oh...don't frown Lydia someone could be falling in love with your smile" I smirked at her as Stiles waved at us before we walked over to him and Lydia reluctantly asked him to go to formal and I couldn't help laugh at his shocked face before they walked off and Lydia started using Stiles to be her mule as they looked for dresses and went to try them on.

"I think you just made his day" I laughed standing with Allison as we looked at a few dresses ourselves, I walked away a little bit and started looking at one dress in particular and Allison was right behind me picking up a dress with a black corset, red sash around the waist and a feathered white skirt. "That's cool" I said as she held it up against her then adjusted the mirror but I frowned when I saw the figure suddenly appear in it and turned.

"That's not your colour" Peter said looking down at the dress in Allison's hand. "Sorry if that was intrusive but considering your skin tone, I'd go lighter"

"Cause I'm pale?" Allison replied sounding nervous but I was angry and reached into my jacket playing with my dagger anxiously.

"Fair" Peter replied smiling. "I mean you can't call skin like yours pale, not skin that perfect" Allison smiled but I could tell she was creeped out by Peter.

"Okay" she tried to laugh and put the dress back.

"Trust me I have a unique perspective on the subject" Peter turned then grabbed a silver dress off the rack behind him then grabbed Allison's hand and held the dress next to it. "See?" he looked up and smiled clearly not caring that he was making Allison uncomfortable and that was probably the point since he turned and smirked at me. "Much better"

"Thanks for your opinion but I think we've got it covered" I cut in and stepped forward putting myself between him and Allison.

"You two aren't here alone are you?" I glared at him. "Shopping for dresses with friends" Allison nodded but I remained stone-faced. "High school dance?"

"Formal" Allison replied again sounding creeped out and who wouldn't be.

'Attention shoppers the owner of a blue Mazda, license plate 5UN I768…'

"Did she just say blue Mazda?" Allison asked nobody

'Your car is being towed'

"Oh what, that's my car" she added taking off leaving me with Peter who looked around then smirked.

"I have to say Scott, I continue to be impressed with your ingenuity, just remember you can't be everywhere all the time" I rolled my eyes as he turned back to me. "Skyler fancy seeing you here huh?" I scoffed.

"Yeah fancy that" he smirked then looked down at my hand which was still clutching my dagger underneath the jacket.

"You really want to make a scene here" I frowned but watched as he looked around. "How about a dress for you?"

"If I wanted the opinion of a creepy old guy I'd ask for it, now excuse me" I went to walk past him but he grabbed my wrist which was in the splint and squeezed down. "Let go!" I exclaimed enough to get attention and he let me go but didn't wipe the smirk off his face.

"Try to remember the reason Derek's been helping me Skyler" I glared at him for bringing Derek into this. "You know it's too bad Derek can't take you to the formal"

"Get to the point Peter, I'm done playing your sadistic game"

"I love that fire" he crooned making me uncomfortable now. "It would make a great addition to my pack" I jumped shocked and stepped back.

"Don't even think about it" he smiled but then it quickly fell as if he was switching into a different personality.

"Tell me where Derek is?" my eyes widened.

"I don't know that, why would I know that?"

"Come now sweetheart, you claim to be a hunter so wouldn't your daddy share that information with you" I frowned shaking my head.

"I'm still training and he keeps me out of that stuff and even if I did I wouldn't tell you because wherever Derek is I'm glad it's far away from you" I looked up into his eyes glaring straight into their soulless pits "Now excuse me" I pushed my way past him but was suddenly pulled behind a display and started to scream but a hand covered my mouth.

"Calm down it's me" I frowned looking up at Scott as he let me go.

"God do not sneak up on a hunter" I yelled quietly.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah I'm fine" I replied rubbing my sore wrist.

The night of the formal was here and I stood staring at my reflection in the mirror shocked at how I looked since I wasn't used to seeing myself so…so girly, I was wearing a short midnight blue dress that came just above my knees with a silver diamond studded sash around the waist and above the left bust that I'd picked out and since I loathed and despised heels I ended up finding some black high top heels and brought them to go with the dress so I was semi acting like a girl but still held my own sense of style even if to others I looked ridiculous which I probably do.

I kept my makeup simple only using natural colours and opted to keep my hair down but neatly pulled back out of my face then paired the whole ensemble with a simple diamond necklace and earrings but then a knock on my door made me turn around and blush nervously when I saw it was my dad because he'd never seen me being a girl and getting dressed up for anything.

"Whoa who are you and what have you done with my daughter?" I blushed looking down and picked at the dress.

"Do I look that bad?"

"Ridiculous" Jake said appearing behind him but for this first time in a few days I saw an actual smile directed towards me. "I'm kidding Star, you look beautiful and mom would be crying if she was here" my smile grew when I heard him call me Star and I hoped it meant we we're moving past our fight.

"Thanks Jake" I mumbled nervously then looked back at dad who looked like he was upset. "Dad are you okay?" he looked up then smiled.

"Yes kiddo, I'm just having an old man moment since my baby girl looks like a princess" I smiled again because that was huge coming from my dad. "So am I pulling the old overbearing father on a boy tonight?"

"Nope going it alone because I don't need a guy to make me look good" they both laughed.

"There's my girl" I laughed with them then the door bell rang from downstairs. "Who is that?"

"That's probably Ally I'm getting a ride with her and her date" he nodded then allowed me to walk downstairs and answer the door seeing Jackson waiting for me instead of Allison. "Hey Jackson"

"Allison said you wanted a ride with us" he replied sounding uninterested making me sigh.

"Yeah thanks"

"Skye who's this?" dad asked from behind me making me turn and see that both my dad and Jake had their arms crossed again trying to look intimidating.

"Oh my god…dad, Jake this is Jackson, Jackson my dad and brother now let's go" I grabbed Jackson's arm and led him out towards his car and climbed into the back and Allison was right you can barely fit back here, Porsche's suck...looked good but sucked for space.

We pulled up in the carpark of the dance and Jackson shut the car off then pulled out a small bottle of vodka and took a drink before looking at us and held it out but we both refused since I didn't feel like getting drunk tonight.

"You want to do tonight sober?"

"I wouldn't mind remembering some of it" Allison replied and Jackson scoffed making me seriously want to hit him because although he was doing this to help Scott surprisingly didn't mean he had to be an ass to Allison.

"Yeah well I wouldn't mind forgetting all of it" he went to get out of the car.

"Do you know if Scott's coming?" Allison asked him before he could.

"I know he's not allowed to, academic probation" Jackson replied then got out making me roll my eyes since the ass shut the door but I heard Allison take a deep breath then she flipped down the mirror and checked her make-up and re-applied her lip gloss.

"Normal teenage girl you can do this" I frowned confused by her saying that. "Smile Allison, somebody could be falling in love with your…" she flipped the mirror up the laughed looking at the roof so I peeked forward and saw Scott making me shake my head smiling.

Jackson finally came around to Allison's side of the car and opened the door finally letting me out of the backseat then I walked forward ignoring the arm he offered to both Allison and I and saw Stiles and Lydia getting out of his crappy jeep.

"Jackson you look handsome" Lydia spoke up looking at him.

"Obviously, its Hugo Boss" he chuckled then led Allison into the dance.

"I don't care" Lydia mumbled. "I don't want compliments I will not fall prey to society's desire to turn girls into emotionally insecure neurotics who pull up there dresses at the first flattering remark" I raised my eyebrow at her.

"Well" Stiles started "I think you look beautiful" I quickly hid my smile.

"Really?" Lydia asked him with a small smile, Stiles nodded sincerely and offered Lydia his arm so she took it then he walked with her into the dance with me trailing in behind him seriously regretting not finding a date in time but then I wouldn't have had much fun either way given there was only one person I really wanted to be with tonight but still had no idea where he was or if he was even alive, I walked into the gym and shuddered remembering the last time I was in this gym at night and it didn't exactly make me feel any better about being here so I sat down and drank punch most of the night only getting up to use the bathroom but thankfully wasn't alone since Stiles and Lydia we're sitting down with me.

"You want to dance?" Stiles suddenly asked turning to Lydia.

"Pass" she replied.

"You know what, let me try that again" Stiles stood up standing in front of her. "Lydia get off your cute little ass and dance with me now" I smiled shaking my head.

"Interesting tactic, I'm gonna stick with no"

"Lydia get up!" Stiles exclaimed as I tried to pretend I wasn't listening. "Okay you're going to dance with me, I don't care that you made out with my best friend…" huh so that was what the whole apology thing was, Allison must have found out. "…for some weird power thing, I don't…Lydia I've had a crush on you since the third grade and I know that somewhere in that cold, lifeless exterior there's an actual human soul" I raised an eyebrow towards Stiles. "And I'm also pretty sure that I'm the only one who knows how smart you really are and that once you're done pretending you're a nitwit, you'll eventually go off and write some insane mathematical theorem that wins you the Nobel prize"

"A Fields Medal" Lydia replied confusing me and Stiles.

"What?" he asked her.

"Nobel doesn't have a prize for mathematics, The Fields Medal's the one I'll be winning" Lydia replied standing up then took his hand and led him towards the dance floor and I watched Stiles do a quick triumphant dance.

"And then there was one" I muttered to myself looking around glumly since this was everything but fun, I grabbed my phone out ready to call my dad to pick me up but saw I had a missed call from Derek and my eyes widened in shock so I quickly grabbed my purse and headed out of the noisy gym and tried calling him back but it went straight to voicemail. "Hey Derek are you okay, call me back if you can" I said leaving one the hung up.

"Well, well, well" I turned at the voice and saw Kate leaning against the lockers. "Got to say Skyler I thought you had better taste" I frowned but before I could reply I heard someone behind me and spun but was quickly held down and a cloth covered my nose making me breathe in the sickly odour before I passed out falling limp into the arms of my captors.
