'Okay Lydia what's the plan?' Lucy asked outside the school holding a bunch of balloons.

'Well you and me are going to booty trap Alison locker with balloons and a card and your present.' Lydia informed.

'How do we plan to get in?' Lucy asked as they walked to the door.

'I asked the janitor to leave the door open for us.' Lydia told her as she open the door for Lucy.

'You just asked him and that's it.' Lucy asked with raised eyebrows walking in.

'Well Jackson did pay him but it worked. Now do you have more questions or can we get a move on, we only have an hour.' Lydia said.

'Only one more.' Lucy said as Lydia entered the school.

'What?!'

'Why do I have to hold the balloons?' Lucy asked Lydia just signed and walked on.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

'Wait I need to leave my present for her!' Lucy said before Lydia had shut the door.

'Well hurry up.' Lydia said angrily opened the door a little so Lucy could reach in and leave the present in her locker.

'Why again did you not get your minions to do this for you?' Lucy asked as Lydia shut the door.

'I thought it'd be fun!' Lydia said with a sadly both were exhausted from trying for an hour of to get the balloons to stay in the locker.

'It was a bit.' Lucy said trying to cheer her up 'In a never want to do that again way. Hey while we're here we should draw dicks on Harris desk!'

'No.' Lydia said.

'Oh c'mon "It'll be fun"!'

'What was in the present?' Lydia asked.

'"Beauty and the Beast".' Lucy said with a laugh. 'Did I tell you I finally got my dad to do the house quiz for a HP I'm taking it tonight as well.'

'Nerd.' Lydia said with a mocking laugh. 'Me and Jackson are having date night.'

'Too much info.' Lucy said making gagging noises.

'Not like that.' Lydia said 'But-'

'No buts no buts.' Lucy chanted covering her ears and walking away.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

'Gryffindor! Gryffindor! Gryffindor!' Lucy chanted holding the popcorn and walking over to the couch. Quite night in.

'Okay stop! Yes I know you're a Gryffindor. Could you stop so we could watch the movie?' Her dad asked getting slightly irritated about to press the play on the movie. He is only irritated that I'm a Gryffindor and he's a hufflepuff.

'Okay jigglypuff! Press play!' Lucy said sitting on the couch beside her dad. 'What movie are we watching?'

'Shutter Island.' Her dad said as the ads came on.

'The one with DiCaprio in it?' Lucy asked taking a handful of popcorn. Dad finally picked a good movie!

'Yep now sshhh!' Rude.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Half way through the movie Lucy phone starts blaring "That don't impress me much" from the kitchen. Oh c'mon Jackson right now!

'Could you pause it I'll be right back Jackson probably wants the homework or something.' Lucy said as she walked into the kitchen.

Lucy answered the phone and said 'This better be good because I'm in the middle of "Shutter Island"!'

'Yeah I need a lift.' Jackson said straight away. No hi or how are you Lucy.

'Why I thought you and Lydia were having date night?' Lucy asked. Did Lydia ditch him or something.

'I'm at the DVD rental place. Can you get me or not!' Jackson asked getting angry. Wow chill out.

'Did Lydia ditch you because wouldn't get the notebook?' Lucy joked there was the sound of sirens on the other side of the phone. 'Wait was that sirens Jackson are you okay?'

'I tell you when you get here!' Jackson said hanging up the phone. Lucy took the phone down and ran over to grab her leather jacket. I hope he is okay!

'Jackson needs a lift I think there has been accident.' Lucy told him shoving on her jacket. Fuck I need to get to him.

'Take my car. And take a scarf.' Her dad told her. Lucy put down her keys and grabbed her dad keys and her Gryffindor scarf. Lucy ran for the door when she heard her dad called her back. 'Shoes?'

Lucy looked down at her sock covered feet. 'Right shoes!' Lucy put on her brown boots and ran out the door.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Lucy drove as fast she could when she got to the DVD place there was crime scene tape around it and police cars and ambulance.

Lucy walked over to a male deputy. 'Hello sorry I'm looking for Jackson Whittemore.' Good start no need to piss anyone off.

The deputy said 'You'll have to wait. He's over there talking to Sheriff Stilinski.'

Lucy looked to where the deputy pointed to see Jackson yelling at Sheriff Stilinski. Oh yeah talking. 'What happened here?' Lucy asked the deputy.

'Can't say so soon but it looks like another animal attack.' Huh he's helpful.

'Was anyone hurt?' Lucy asked.

But Lucy got answer from when a voice that sounded like Stilinski called out 'Oh, whoa, is that a dead body?' Wait wasn't Jackson having date night with Lydia? Is that Lydia?!

'The body is that a girl? Is the dead person a girl?' Lucy yelled at the deputy. He doesn't look happy at that.

'No it was a middle aged man.' The deputy said surprised at Lucy outburst. Not Lydia. That's a relief.

'Okay can I go to Jackson?' Lucy asked. I need to get him to stop yelling seriously he looks like he is about to explode.

'No you can't.' The deputy said. Wait seriously?

'But I'm his best friend please I can probably get him to stop yelling at Sheriff Stilinski.' Lucy persuade. See reason.

'No.' The deputy denied. Bitch!

'Okay listen you –' Lucy insult was cut off by Sheriff Stilinski. OH Fuck!

'What going on here?' Sheriff Stilinski asked looking at Lucy who was trying to hide her face.

'This young girl wants to get into a crime scene.' The deputy told him. Oh you did not.

'Bullshit I want to get to my Friend!' Lucy yelled at the deputy when she spotted Sheriff Stilinski disapproving look. 'I mean I want to get to my friend he's freaking out over there!'

'Wait you're friends with the boy not the girl?' Sheriff Stilinski asked. Why does that matter?

'Yeah I am.' Lucy nodded confusedly.

'Can you get him to let the EMT check him over?' Sheriff Stilinski asked her. Oh he is causing problems.

'You can't be serious!' the deputy exclaimed but Sheriff Stilinski ignored her.

'I can try.' Lucy said with a shrug Sheriff Stilinski nodded and held up the tape. Time to tame the bull!

'You coming then?' Sheriff Stilinski asked causing Lucy to smile and stick her tongue out that the deputy.

'Jackson!' Lucy said as she ran across the crime scene to give him a hug. 'You okay? Right your okay?'

'I'm fine Luc.' Jackson said hugging back. 'This mall-cop won't listen to me!'

'He's just doing his job! Now you are going to let the EMT check you out so I can take you home.' Lucy instructed. Let's hope this work.

'LUCY!' Jackson yelled. Jackson yelling and not coming up with arguments it'll work.

'You of all people know better to argue with me now let them do their job.' Lucy said using her sternest voice.

'But-'

'Now !' Lucy said Jackson rolled his eyes but went over to the waiting EMTs. Lucy walked over to Lydia who was wrapped in a shock blanket. 'Hey.'

Lydia didn't respond so Lucy reached out to put a hand on Lydia shoulder. Lydia head shoot up to stare at Lucy the second the hand went on her shoulder. 'Sorry' Lucy apologised as she retracted her hand. Before Lucy could Lydia had reached out to grab it. She looks so vulnerable.

Lucy took a step closer and carefully reached out to give Lydia a hug. Lydia and Lucy were stiff at the beginning of the hug but when Lucy tried pull back Lydia clung to her.

Lucy turned to look around as she awkwardly stayed hugging Lydia. Lucy looked over to Sheriff Stilinski talking to his son with raised eyebrows. Stilinski was watching Lucy and Lydia with a concerned look while talking to his Dad.

'Hey so I'll be fine just a bump on the head can I go now!' Jackson said walking to over to Lucy and Lydia.

'Okay so I'm going to need you to.' Lucy said gesturing to Lydia still holding onto Lucy. Jackson nodded and reached to slightly grabbed Lydia hold on Lucy. Lydia reluctantly let go of Lucy and grabbed a hold of Jackson hand. Jackson wrapped an arm around Lydia. 'Okay I'm going to conform that you can leave with Sheriff Stilinski.' Lucy said.

'Can't we just go!' Jackson demanded.

'I'll be right back.' Lucy said walking over to Sheriff Stilinski and Stilinski. 'Sheriff do you mind if I take them home?' Lucy asked pointy ignoring Stilinski.

'Have they been cleared to go?' Sheriff Stilinski asked.

'Yep Jackson just finished his check up its a bump.' Lucy told him.

'You managed to get him to get checked up.' Sheriff Stilinski said with a small smile.

'Of course she manipulative it's the only way she can make friends.' Stilinski told his Dad.

'Well you don't have to worry it only works on people with intelligences.' Lucy said sarcastically glaring at Stilinski.

'I don't know what Lydia see in you as a friend!' Stilinski told her.

'Probably the lack of you!' Lucy told him Stilinski went to reply when his Dad cut him off.

'Make sure they get home safe.' Lucy nodded giving Stilinski one last glare before heading over to Jackson and Lydia.

'We can go home.' Lucy told them. They headed to Lucy's Dad's car.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Lucy pulled up to Jackson's house. 'Jackson do you want me to come over when I'm finished dropping Lydia off?' Lucy asked as Jackson went to exit the car.

'No I'm fine!' Jackson said angrily.

'Are you sure?' Lucy asked.

'I Said I'm fine!' Jackson yelled at Lucy before getting out of the car with a slam of the door causing Lucy to watch him go him with a sign. Understandably he wants to be alone.

'Do you want to get in the front Lydia?' Lucy asked looking into the rear view mirror. Lucy watched as Lydia nodded and slowly climbed into the front. Once Lydia climbed into the front Lucy pulled out of Jackson's drive way.

'Would you-' Lydia started to asked but cut herself off.

'Would I what?' Lucy asked.

'Nothing.' Lydia said quietly.

'hey no judgements here so ask away.' Lucy said.

'I was just going to ask if you would... stay with me tonight. Mom is at work I don't want to be alone.' Lydia asked. You want me to stay with you that's new.

'Me? I mean I could yeah if you want.' Lucy said.

'Cool' Lydia said.

'May I ask? why me?' Lucy asked.

'I want to be with a friend.' Lydia said. We are Friends?

'We are friends?' Lucy asked before she could stop herself.

'Yeah we are aren't we?' Lydia asked so desperately that Lucy had to look at her twice to make sure she is really Lydia. This must be effecting her more than I thought.

'Yeah I guess we are.' Lucy lied but it didn't feel like a lie when she said it. 'Since when?'

'I don't know but we are.' Lydia said. 'You're still a nerd with too much comic t-shirts.'

'You're still a gold digger using Jackson.'

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

'So my Dad used to make me a hot chocolate whenever I was sad as kid, He still does. But back then I used to get sad alot so it seemed more important. So you get one hot chocolate made by your marvellous not chief.' Lucy told Lydia while finishing making the cup of hot chocolate. 'And before you say anything about carbs I want to remind you that it's worth it.'

Lucy picked up the cup to carry into the sitting room where Lydia was waiting only to find Lydia had fallen asleep. 'And you're asleep. So no hot chocolate for you.' Lucy carefully set the cup on the coffee table.

'Okay up you get, time for bed.' Lucy said grabbing an unconscious Lydia by the arm and tried to pull her up but ended up falling over. Well now I have do this.

Okay plan time I get Lydia off the couch. Lifting her not an option, I could roll her. That's it that is what I'm going to do. Lucy looked at the coffee table and decide to move the coffee table away from the couch to give some more space.

So do I just roll her, wait no that could end up with her getting hurt. What do I do? I got it I'll get a blanket, leave it on the floor roll her carefully onto it and drag her and the blanket to the stairs.

Lucy started carefully trying to roll Lydia when she heard. 'What are you doing?'

'I made you hot chocolate.' Lucy said desperately.

'Oh thank you why is the table so far away?' Lydia asked sleepily.

'Oh well your just sleepy silly. Maybe you should go to bed.' Lucy said and Lydia nodded. 'Hey where is your mom?'

'She is at a singles mixer. Won't be back till later.' Lydia said trying to not look sad.

'Do you want me to call her?' Lucy asked.

'The sheriff station should have already called her.' Lydia informed.

'I don't really want to leave you on your own so I'll wait around till your mom comes back.' Lucy informed. Lydia looked desperately at Lucy.

'You're leaving! You can stay here if you want?'

'Well yeah I have to.' Lucy said confused. Why does Lydia care so much? 'What happened to you?'

'I don't want to talk about it.'

'Please I won't judge you.'

'We decide to get a movie and we were fighting over which one to get.' Lydia told.

'And then what?'

'Jackson went in to get the movie. I was taking some pictures when there was a bang.'

'Bang what was it?'

'...It was a mountain lion.' Lydia said but not convincingly. There is more too this and I'm going to find out what it is!

'Are you sure Lydia?' Lucy asked.

'I might go to sleep now you can changed your mind.' Lydia said walking up the stairs.

'Night.' Lucy looked at her phone for the time. 10:15. I might just have a short nap.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Lucy woke up to the sound of screaming. Lucy ran up the stairs to find the source of the screaming to find Lydia in sitting in her bed. Lucy quickly ran forward and wrapped her arms around her till she quieted down. I am going to figured out what happened to you!

'Here Lydia have one of these. It'll help you sleep.' Lydia mom instructed. Holding a pill and some water. When did you get here?

Lydia slowly nodded and reached forward to take the pill and water from her mom. Lucy and Lydia's mom watch anxiously as Lydia leaned back and wrapped the blanket around herself and back to sleep.

'When did you get here?' Lucy asked politely 'And mm what did you give her?'

'A sedative it's probably a good thing Lydia went to sleep otherwise it makes you a bit loopy in the head. And I got home about an hour ago you were fast asleep on the couch.'

'What time is it?' Lucy asked while yawning.

'About 2 o'clock. You can sleep here if you want Lydia won't mind.' Lydia mom asked.

'No I won't.' Lydia mumbled.

'Okay I might just do that. I'll text Dad in the morning.' Lucy gave in and copied Lydia movements and went to sleep.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Beep Beep.

Lucy opened her eyes at the sounds of beeping. Where am I? Lucy turned over to see a mess of red hair. Lydia? Oh yeah I stayed at her place.

Beep Beep.

I'm surprised that Lydia alarm is just a generic alarm not something like "Primadonna Girl".

Beep Beep.

I guess I'm the one getting that. Lucy signed and reached over to the nightstand to grab her phone.

'Oh how does work?' Lucy muttered hitting buttons. There we go. Alarm off check. Wait Lydia was taking pictures that night maybe there is a clue or something. Holy shit did I just think that "a clue" what am I "Scooby Do"?

Lucy started hitting buttons. If I hit this one it should take me into photos. Wait that's settings. What am I doing? Okay there we go- photos. No this is videos I don't even want to think what kinda videos Lydia has on this. This one was recorded yesterday maybe this one will have something. Please don't be a sex tape.

Lucy clicked into it. Okay it is just some really bad camera angles. Wait - what's happening? What is that? 'OMG!' Lucy shouted.

'Is everything okay?' Lydia's Mom ran into the room looking tired.

'Sorry I just... I just saw... I saw a spider.' Lucy muttered out. 'It's fine now.'

'Well try not to wake Lydia. She needs her sleep.' Lydia's Mom said Lucy weakly nodded.

'I'd better get going I mean it is –' Lucy started before looking down at her phone. '6 o'clock god who wakes up at this time?'

Lucy climbed out of the bed. 'Isn't that Lydia's phone?' Lydia's Mom asked. Lucy looked down to see she is still holding Lydia's phone.

'Right I was turning of the alarm.' Lucy said and reluctantly putting the phone back on the nightstand.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

'Dad, open the door I forgot my keys!' Lucy shouted banging on the door.

'What are you doing its 6 o'clock?' Lucy's dad asked opening the door.

'Coming home what does it look like?' Lucy said walking past him.

'Where were you?'

'I slept over at Lydia's. Lydia and Jackson got attacked by something.' Lucy said distantly.

'Are they are okay?'

'Yeah no they're fine a bit shaken up.'

'Was it the mountain lion?' Lucy's dad asked.

'I... don't know what it was.' Lucy said.

'Are you okay?' Lucy's dad asked.

'Yeah I'm fine.' Lucy said with a fake smile.

'Oh you're worried about the swimming tryouts today.' Lucy's dad said. That's today!?

'Yeah that's it.' Lucy said 'I better go get changed.'

Lucy ran upstairs and looked at the green dress hanging in front of her wardrobe. Do I just get changed? Those eyes were glowing red. What mountain lion has glowing red eye? What creature looks like that? Okay stop I need to focus. I need to get changed and go to school.

Lucy changed into her sugar skull polka dot black bikini, patterned tights and off the shoulder black and white dress. Lucy plaits her hair and put in Captain American shield earrings and a black bracelet. Lucy put on some waterproof make-up and lip gloss. Lucy put on a pair of knee high boots and went down stairs.

'I'm leaving now.' Lucy called out grabbing her black leather jacket and Disney backback.

'I've got the parents' teacher meeting tonight so try and be good.' Lucy's Dad called back.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Lucy walked over to Danny. 'Hey Danny, ready for class.'

'Yeah however ready you can be for chemistry.' Danny joked.

'Have you spoken to Jackson?' Lucy asked and Danny nodded 'How is he?'

'Fine. Doesn't want my help being Jackson.' Danny said.

'He is far too stubborn for his own good.' Lucy said shaking her head.

'You're one to talk.' Danny joked causing Lucy to hit him. 'Oh we're going in.'

Danny pushed Lucy towards the door and into chemistry classroom. Lucy took her seat and looked right at the empty seat. No Jackson today.

'Just a friendly reminder - Parent/teacher conferences are tonight.' Mr. Harris started. Friendly! Ha! 'Students below a "C" average are required to attend. I won't name you, because the shame and self - disgust should be more than enough punishment.'

'Has anyone seen Scott McCall?' Mr. Harris asked pointedly at Stilinski who was highlighting the book with the cap in his mouth. When Jackson walks in and heads to his seat beside Lucy. Mr. Harris walks over to him and says quietly 'Hey, Jackson. If you need to leave early for any reason, you let me know.' Before heading back to the board in the front of the room.

'What are you doing here Jackson?' Lucy whispered.

'Everyone, start reading Chapter Nine. Mr. Stilinski. Try putting the highlighter down between paragraphs. It's chemistry, not a colouring book.' Mr. Harris said. Lucy turned to Stilinski spits the highlighter cap up into the ceiling, catching in on the way down. What a dork!

Lucy turned back to her book and was quietly reading when there was a crash. She looked over to Stilinski falling out of his chair towards Danny. Lucy let out a laugh and pretended to clear her throat when people turn to look at her.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

'I've got my swim tryout now will you be there?' Lucy asked Jackson as they walked down the hall.

'I am the captain so I have to be there.' Jackson told her.

'You don't have to be you could go home no one would blame you.' Lucy said as they got closer to the changing rooms. Jackson turned to glare at Lucy. 'Fine you win I'd better go into the female changing.'

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

'How did I do?' Lucy asked Jackson out of breath because she just finished a lap of the pool twice.

'Good but not good enough if you try again next year you could make the team. I just asked the couch there is only one spot left.' Jackson told her walking up to the side of the pool.

'I'd better go I'll talk to him before I go and I'll see you later okay.' Lucy said climbing out of the pool Jackson nodded and helped her out.

'Couch I know I didn't get in Jackson told me.' Lucy said as soon as she got close to him. 'If you don't I'll be going okay? I don't want to waste anymore time.'

'Yeah its fine.' The couch said looking back down at his clipboard not interested.

Lucy nodded before going back to the changing rooms. Lucy grabbed a towel and headed to the showers. Oh god when is the last time these were washed. I'll just go home and have a shower.

Lucy got changed and re-applied her make up before out changing rooms. Lucy was about to walk into the main hallway when she heard.

'Derek what do you think you're doing?' That sounds like Raven. She sounds angry.

'I think I'm trying to figure out who the Alpha is!' Derek yelled. Alpha?

'What and you think threatening him is the best way to do it?! What if you'd have been caught? And keep your voice down.' Raven said. Who did they threaten?

'It got the job done didn't it?'

'What if he tells someone?'

'Who?'

'Scott already doesn't trust us we don't need to be adding reasons to the list of why he should'nt help us and we need him!'

'Scott needs our help so he'll help us.'

'What about Lucy she getting pretty close?'

'You mean your dumbass friend who didn't even notice that I wasn't in the area for me to hear her lie for me!'

'She is smart enough to know what Chris Argent is dangerous and that he had trapped you.'

'Right and you think she will ever come up the conclusion that we are werewolves. You give your friend too much credit.'

'I'm just saying you need to be more careful.' But this time the voices seemed to be getting farther and farther away and Lucy stayed frozen in her spot. Okay what the hell did I just hear? I need to go home now.

Lucy ran to her bike and speeded home.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Lucy sat in front of her Laptop frozen in her spot on her bed. Lucy had spent hours researching werewolves. They have to be werewolves. The marks on Jackson's back that aren't in the shape of human nails. The change of eye colours. The way Raven speaks. The pictures of McCall and Raven. McCall unreal strength. How he acted in the match. There are no other possibilities.

What do I do? Do I go to Jackson? Raven? Dad? Who else is involved? Mr. Argent he has to be involve! Is he a werewolf as well are they like fighting over territory? The thing that attacked Jackson and Lydia must be the Alpha! Or it could be not related. It has to related it is too much of a coincidence to be a coincidence.

Dad wouldn't believe me so no telling him. Plus if I tell him he'll be involved than he could be in danger. Jackson could be in danger so could Lydia. I could be in danger. I am in danger everyone is in danger.

'Lucy I am home!' Lucy's Dad called from downstairs.

'Hey!' Lucy called not moving. Now you need to think clearly. No Dad. Who do I go to now? Raven? No you only just met her this year and so far nearly everything you know about the girl may be a lie. Jackson would have three responses to it. One - wouldn't believe it, two - blackmail or three, he would want to be one.

How does McCall fit into all of this? Well he is definitely a werewolf. The way that they were talking I think McCall is being used. Should I warn him? What am I going to do?

'Lucy I am going to the parent teacher meeting now I hope to hear you have been causing chaos and destruction. If you haven't made at least twenty people cry I will be very disappointed in you.' Lucy's dad joked walking into her room.

'Have a nice night.' Lucy said distantly.

'What's wrong?'

'What do you mean? Nothing is wrong.' Lucy lied.

'Well usually you say "Well Dad I would never do that. At least that's what the teachers I made cry will say."' Lucy's dad imitated.

'I don't sound like that. And I'm sorry - just worried.' Lucy said.

'Are you going to visit Jackson?' Lucy's dad asked. No but I should see Lydia- that's what I will do.

'No, he wants to be alone but I might visit Lydia. She was a wreck yesterday.' Lucy said. Lucy's dad nodded.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Lucy walked up to Lydia's front door and before she could knock the door open Lucy almost jumped back in fright.

'Oh sorry I'm on my way to the parents teacher meetings.' Lydia's mom said.

'No, its fine just checking up on Lydia.' Lucy said moving out of the way for Lydia's mom to go past.

'Good she needs friends like you.' Lydia's mom said with a smile.

'Yeah.' Lucy said.

'Hey do you know a Stiles?' Lydia's mom asked.

'Stiles ! what was he doing here?' Lucy asked suspiciously.

'He came to check on Lydia. Honestly I think he has a crush.' Lydia's mom said with a smile.

'Yeah that's probably why.' Lucy said. What was Stilinski doing here?

'I best be off.' Lydia's mom said walking off.

Lucy entered the house and walked up to Lydia's room. Lydia was still asleep so Lucy walked around the bed to the nightstand where she left the phone. It's gone where did it go? Lucy checked around to the nightstand and on the floor. Stilinski! I knew him being here was more than just him liking Lydia.

Oh I bet he was trying to interview her. Won't get much out of her like this. Wait- if Stilinski is trying to get information out of Lydia about the attack then someone is going interview Jackson. Derek was threatening someone. I bet it was Jackson. Oh - I am going to kill him.

Lucy walked to the door to look back at Lydia before changing her mind. 'Okay Lydia that's it get up!'

'mmm no.'

Lucy walked over and pulled off the covers. 'I know this is a traumatic experience. But this isn't you - okay. The Lydia Martian I know does not hide under covers. She gets up, wears the most overly priced outfit and gets what she wants. Now you are going to have a shower.'

Lydia turned to glare at Lucy. 'See you are already going back to your annoying self. Now get up Lydia.'

Lydia eventually got up and headed to the bathroom. 'Good, when you come back out we are doing your make-up and hair.'
