I woke up early the next morning, 12:15am to be exact, and it was because my phone was ringing. I looked at the screen and saw that it was Stiles calling me.

"Why the hell are you calling me at 12:15?" I growled as I answered the phone.

"Don't you know what night/day it is?" Stiles countered questioned.

"Yes, but I do my thing during the day." I replied.

Stiles had no reply to that, so I hung up and went back to sleep, except I couldn't because I felt like I was being watched. I got up and checked my house out, but I didn't see anything, so I went back to bed, and got up later that morning, and got ready for school. When I pulled up on my bike, I saw Scott, Stiles, Isaac, Ethan, and Aidan talking, but Ethan, I think, flashed his canines, and he and Isaac were stepping closer to each other.

"Whoa there boys. Save the fighting for some other time." I said as I stepped between the two.

Ethan's eyes were still flashing, so I flashed my red eyes, and he backed down. I thought it was funny, but I followed the others in. I did hear Scott tell the twins that Stiles and Isaac didn't trust them, and he didn't either. I was still out of it because I still couldn't get Derek out of my head. I saw that Scott was looking at the new girl; I think her name is Kira, and I got an idea. I was going to try to hook them up. I wasn't in the school for very long because my phone rung and it was Caroline.

"Where are you girl?" I asked as I answered.

"I'm at Derek's loft." Caroline replied.

"Why are you there?" I asked confused.

"I honestly don't know Zia, but can you come get me?" Caroline replied.

"I'm on my way." I said back before I hung up, and went to go get her.

When I got there, I saw that Derek's new car, or whatever he calls it, so I wanted to see if he was really here. Caroline followed me inside, but I wasn't prepared to see Derek breathing heavy, and slowly getting off the floor.

"What the hell did you do?" I asked as I walked closer to Derek.

"I needed to ask my mom something." Derek replied as I helped him sit in a chair.

I just nodded my head and just kept quiet. This is all knew to me. I'm still in shock that Derek was right here in front of me. Caroline and I stayed with Derek and Peter for a good while, before Stiles texted me and told me that Scott had to rescue Kira from Marrow. I told him that I wanted all the details later. Caroline seemed off, but I shrugged it off, but I knew that she would tell me what's going on when she was ready. I finally drove Caroline home, and went home myself. I was in the process of changing, when Derek came in through the window.

"I swear I'm going to kill you." I growled as I tried to cover up.

Derek chuckled before replying, "It's nothing I haven't seen before."

I finished changing and smacked his arm. Derek just grabbed my wrist and pulled me to him.

"I really missed you Derek." I whispered, but I knew he heard me.

"I missed you too Zaira." Derek whispered back, but I heard him.

I don't know how long we just stood like that, but in the end, we went to bed, and I believe you guys know what I mean. I hope that the others are ok, and that we can finally get back to our somewhat normal lives. I'm also glad that I have Derek back because now, I don't have to worry if he's alive or dead. Well, this is goodnight and I hope tomorrow is better.
