(A/N: This chapter does have a bit of smut in it, but nothing detailed. Just a warning. :P. ALSO PLEASE REVIEW! I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK SO FAR)

"Again."

Fight. Get the shit kicked out of me.

"Again."

Fight. Thrown over her shoulder.

"Again."

"I can't do this anymore. We've been at this for hours." I groaned, barely managing to pull myself up at this point because I was so weak from getting the shit kicked out of me.

"You won't be able to take breaks during battle, Charlie. You need to keep going." Jackie said as she knocked me over onto my back again.

"Hey, give her a break alright? You've been training her for weeks and you're only making her more weak. Give her a break the rest of the day and tomorrow so she can get her strength back." Stiles said as he helped me up.

Thankfully he had been there the whole time to tell her to stop when she was pushing me too hard. If it weren't for Stiles I'd probably be dead by now. The training Jackie gave me was so intense and we trained for hours on end, barely getting any sleep on my part.

"Fine. But one day is all you get." She said.

I sighed in relief, glad that I got a day of rest even though it was probably my only one. Stiles lifted me up in his arms, carrying me over to his jeep that we had driven here.

"Thank you." I murmured as he set me in the passenger seat.

"You're welcome." He smiled softly, kissing my forehead before going around to get in the driver's side.

We leave the reserve and head back to my house, immediately cuddling on my bed when we got there. Ever since our kiss a couple weeks ago we had gotten so much closer, though he still hasn't asked me to be his girlfriend yet so I was considering asking him to be my boyfriend since he was too nervous to do it.

"How are you feeling?" He asked after a moment.

"Really sore, but I'm better now." I say softly as I looked up at him.

I could already feel myself healing, but it was going to take a few hours to completely heal.

"So... Since you have a day off tomorrow... do you um... maybe want to-" he rambled on which made me laugh softly.

I playfully roll my eyes then lean in, kissing his lips to shut him up.

"Yes, I'd love to go on a date with you." I laughed softly and kissed him once more.

"Great." He smiled, kissing me again.

I immediately returned it, bringing my hand up to cup his cheek as my lips slowly moved against his. Even though we had only kissed a few times I was already addicted to them, unable to get enough of the feeling it gave me. His hand moved up my shirt a little to caress the skin underneath; his cold hand causing goosebumps to form on my skin.

I could tell he was being careful because of my injuries, but they were already healing so I pushed him onto his back and straddled his waist. His eyes widened at my actions and I just smiled, leaning down to kiss him deeply for a moment before moving my lips to his neck. He let out a small moan at my actions, making me smirk against his skin as I sucked on his sweet spot.

"Charlie... Charls, we can't..." he mumbled, trying to stop me but making no physical move to do so.

"Why not?" I asked as I kissed down to his collar bones, gently biting the skin.

"Because..." he started, suddenly flipping us so I was under him.

I giggled and smiled up at him, biting my lip gently.

"Because you are seriously driving me crazy right now..." he mumbled.

He leaned down to kiss my lips softly then moved down to my neck. My eyes close and I enjoy the feeling, my hand gently tugging on his hair as he started sucking on my skin. This time I was the one who let out a soft moan, but he couldn't get much further because we both froze hearing the front door open.

"Charlie, I'm home." My dad called.

I quickly pushed Stiles off me, taking my hair out of the ponytail so it could cover the hickey he left on my skin. I noticed that his was still showing so I threw him a scarf to put on and he gave me an odd look.

"Just do it!" I whispered to him.

We heard my dad coming down the hallway and he quickly put the scarf around his neck before sitting casually on the bed. I sat next to him and acted like we were just cuddling on the bed as he opened the door.

"Hey, dad." I faked a yawn, acting like I was just waking up.

"Hi... Stiles why are you wearing a scarf?" He asked, furrowing his eyebrows.

"Um... well I was just being weird to make Charlie laugh earlier and I never took it off." He said with a slight laugh. "Its warm."

My dad shook his head then looked back at me.

"How is training going?" He asked.

"Alright I guess. It's really tiring." I sighed, sitting up as he sat on my desk chair.

"I found this... It was your mother's." He said as he held out the brown leather journal she had. She took it everywhere and wrote down everything that happened while hunting, also writing down everything she knew about the creatures she had fought in the past.

I carefully take it from him and open it, seeing that she had a picture of me and her that she used as a bookmark for one of the pages. My eyes watered a little as I looked at the picture, wishing she were here right now. Stiles rubbed my back gently for comfort and looked over my shoulder as I finally noticed the page she had it on. She wrote down the story about the archangel who passed down the power to her great great grandmother and it eventually made its way to her when her mother died.

'... I found that thinking about Charlie helped me control it and I was able to use her as fuel to bring it out as well. The thought of someone hurting her was enough to trigger the power within and I kept her in my mind to control how I used it...'

"She used me as her anchor." I said after reading that section aloud to Stiles and my father. "She used it as a trigger and to control it."

"If she used you to trigger it then what did you use when we were at the arcade?" Stiles asked as he looked over at me.

My cheeks flushed a little when he asked me that, but I told him the truth anyway since we were close now.

"You... Seeing you get hurt... That's what triggered it." I said, glancing up at him before looking at my father.

"Then that's what you use next time you train. Think of that night at the arcade to trigger it then keep him in your mind in order to control the power and keep you level headed." My father explained.

I nodded and watched him walk out the door, leaving Stiles and I alone once more. We laid on our stomachs on the bed, the two of us reading the journal. He leaned over my shoulder a bit, kissing my exposed skin softly.

"Well thanks to you I don't feel left out about not being important to anyone." He chuckled.

"What are you talking about? You're the most important person to all of us, Stiles. You're the only real human and you remind us that we too have a human side. That's very important. Without you we probably would have gone crazy by now." I said as I looked at him, completely serious about every word I said.

He had no idea how important he was to all of us. If it weren't for him then Scott would have gone crazy and the rest of us wouldn't know what the hell we're doing half the time. He was the one who kept us grounded and lead us through the hardships that we faced.

"Thanks..." He murmured, leaning over to softly kiss my lips before we focused on the book again.

It didn't give us much more information, but we did find out how to kill demons. You either exorcise them or for angels all we have to do is use our power on them which casts the demon out of the host body as well. Most of them are possessed people, but some even go as far as using dead bodies so they can walk the earth.

"So these demons could literally be anyone..." Stiles said with a frown.

"Yeah... We need to be careful about who we trust from now on. They could be anywhere..." I said, starting to feel nervous again.

I was nowhere near ready to fight in this war, but with my friends by my side I knew I could do anything.

~.:o:.~

*The Next Day*

"Let's go see Deadpool." I suggested as Stiles and I stood in the movie theater.

We had been trying to decide what to see, but I thought a marvel comedy movie would be better than seeing some rom-com that was pretty much the same as the other ones that have come out in the past couple months.

"Thank god. I've been wanting to see it so bad." He said.

"I know." I laughed softly and kissed his cheek.

After paying for our tickets and getting our snacks we went into the room and got our seats towards the back. It had been out for a couple weeks already so we were practically the only ones there since everyone had gone to it within the first week that it was here. As we sat there I noticed that Stiles was having an inner debate on whether or not to put his arm around me so I just playfully rolled my eyes and pulled it around myself for him. He relaxed, giving me a smile as he kept his arm around my shoulders.

The movie started and I focused on most of it, but Stiles was being pretty distracting. Our hands kept brushing as we reached for popcorn and his laugh was so adorable that I just found myself watching him half the time. He finally glanced over at me during the sex scene and I bit my lip, blushing a little as I quickly looked away. A moment later I felt his hand turn my head to face him once more, his lips covering mine a second later. I immediately returned the kiss, thankful to have a distraction during the awkward two minutes of straight sex scenes.

We made out for a good chunk of the movie before we finally decided to pull away and finish watching it. From what I saw it was a good movie, but I knew we would eventually have to see it again to finish the whole movie once it came out on DVD otherwise Stiles would go crazy.

After the movie we just walked around holding hands, enjoying the peaceful night. It wasn't every day that things felt normal so we took it in while we could. We eventually came to a park where Stiles had me sit on a swing so he could push me on it. I smile softly, giggling a bit as he pushed me higher.

"Get on and swing with me. You know you want to." I teased with a wide smile as I leaned back, looking at him upside down.

"No, I'm not childish like you." He teased back.

"Fine then. I'll just jump." I said as I swung forwards then let go, sending myself flying up into the air before I landed and rolled onto the grass to catch my fall.

"Shit, are you okay?!" Stiles asked as he rushed over to me.

I pretended to be hurt then pulled him down on top of me, giggling as he let out a girlish scream.

"Hey, that's not funny." He huffed and held himself over me in a push up position.

"It is to me." I smiled innocently at him, biting my lip gently.

"Don't do that..." He mumbled.

"Do what?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows in confusion.

"Don't bite your lip... It does things to me." He said.

The smile returned to my face and I purposefully did it again.

"Oh really?" I asked, slowly letting my lip fall out from between my teeth.

The moment it was free his lips were on mine, kissing me softly. I returned the kiss, moving my hands up into his hair which earned a soft groan from him. I knew that was a turn on for him and as soon as I figured it out I did it all the time. He loved getting his hair played with and I loved playing with it so it was a win win situation.

His tongue slid across my bottom lip asking for entrance which I immediately granted, parting my lips and meeting his tongue in the middle. His cold hand slid up my shirt, causing goosebumps to form on my skin as his fingers touched just under my bra before moving back down to rest on my hip. I knew he didn't have much experience with girls, but at the same time he knew exactly how to drive me crazy.

After a long while of making out we had to pull away because it started to rain on us. We both looked up as it started off as small droplets before starting to downpour. I squealed and we jumped up, running back to the jeep.

We were both laughing and smiling as he started it up, getting the heat on right away. I watched him reach back to grab a blanket for me which I gratefully took. Leave it to Stiles to always be prepared. I wrapped it around my body to keep warm as he drove me back to his house. Upon arrival I noticed that my dad wasn't here and sighed softly, knowing he probably went back to work.

"Do you want me to stay here with you?" Stiles asked me.

"If you want to..." I said as I looked over at him.

"Are you kidding? Of course I want to." He said, causing me to giggle softly.

"Then come on in." I smiled and got out of the car with him.

We both went inside and once we got to my room I locked the door then pulled off my soaking wet shirt, not caring that Stiles was in the room. I knew it flustered him by the way he cleared his throat and stuttered out gibberish, but that's just what made it more fun. I took off my pants next, standing only in my black bra and panties that I had purposefully worn tonight.

He visibly gulped, watching me intently as I made my way over to him. My hands rest on his sides, gently tugging on his shirt a little.

"Aren't you going to get undressed? Can't have you in these wet clothes now can we?" I murmured, purposefully trailing my hand along the waistline of his jeans.

"Uh yeah." He said, quickly pulling off his clothes.

I laughed as he fell over onto my bed after miserably trying to pull off his pants too fast, only for them to get stuck on his feet when he forgot to take off his shoes. I smiled then walked over, kneeling down to help him out of his shoes and pants as he watched me do so. Once he was sitting there in only his boxers I straddled his lap, my fingers slowly moving through his wet hair before pulling his lips to mine. He immediately returned the kiss, his hands holding me close to his body the whole time.

He shifted to lay me down on the bed then hovered over me without breaking the kiss that was quickly getting heated. The next thing I knew we were both completely naked underneath the blanket and he was looking down at me, searching for any doubt... When he found none he kissed me again before pushing himself into me. I gasped softly against his lips, but as he started to move it turned into a moan. His hand grabbed mine, pinning it down to the bed as he intertwined our fingers together. I squeezed his hand, feeling nothing but pure bliss in that moment.

~.:o:.~

I woke up the next morning to find the bed empty. Stiles was nowhere to be seen, but his shirt and shoes were still on the floor which meant he wasn't gone. I sat up in bed, covering my body with the blankets as I ran my hand through my tangled hair. A smile made its way onto my lips as I thought about how amazing the night before was and it was the perfect way to end the perfect date.

The smoke alarm went off downstairs followed by a few curses, telling me that Stiles was attempting to eat breakfast and failing miserably. I got up, pulling on one of his shirts that he had left at my house before and clean panties before making my way downstairs to see him waving a cookie pan frantically in front of the smoke alarm to get it to shut off. I laughed softly as I watched him for a moment then once he finally got it off he let out a deep sigh and noticed me standing there.

"I um... I tried to make you breakfast..." He said as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"I see that." I smiled, taking a moment to admire his shirtless chest since he was only wearing his now dry jeans and boxers. Thank god my dad stayed at the station all night and morning.

I walked over to him, wrapping my arms around his torso before standing up on my tiptoes and kissing his lips gently. He immediately returned the kiss, which felt so much more meaningful after last night. A giggle escaped my lips when I felt his hand cheekily grab onto my ass and squeeze.

"Someone's a little confident this morning." I teased as I looked up at him.

"I guess you just bring it out in me." He smirked and backed me up against the counter before kissing me harder than he ever has.

It was weird... Something felt off about it and I pulled away to look at him, searching his eyes for the answer I was looking for.

"Something wrong?" He asked.

"...No... Nothing is wrong. I'm just a little tired I guess. I um.. I have to get going so I'll just skip breakfast okay? You should get going too before my dad comes." I said as I pulled myself out of his arms.

"Oh right. I'll see you later then." He said after looking confused for a moment.

I watched him as he cleaned up his mess for a moment then went upstairs to shower. I couldn't place it but something was definitely off about him..

He wasn't the same Stiles I was with last night...
