Stiles set in class thinking about how that if hunters are after Dailin than their probably after Scott as well.
And what if that's what Derek was so worried about,
if there was hunters out there that would hurt something as seemingly harmless as Dailin,
then Scott was in danger, all the werewolves were.

"Stilinski!" Stiles heard a voice call out awakening him from his thoughts.

"Um yeah."

"Does this look like home-room to you?" Said the coach.

"No it doesn't." Stiles replied.

"Well then no getting all relaxed like you're at home and going off in that head of yours."

Stiles frowned. He wasn't sure if that was supposed to be funny or not,
but what he did know was, it was a horrible pun.

He was going to have to start pushing those thoughts to the side or he was gonna become like Scott and have to retake every test.

Class was over and they were now sitting in the lunch room.
Stiles was just sitting there sticking food in his mouth looking pass Scott whom was sitting across the table in front of him.

Scott noticed this and put a piece of bald up paper on Stiles plate. Stiles continued to blindly pick up food and eat it.
Scott snickered trying not to laugh as Stiles reached for the paper putting it in his mouth.

"What the." Stiles let out as he spit out the paper. He looked at his plate then at Scott.

"Scott!."

"What?" Scott laughed out.

"That's not cool." Said Stiles.

"Dude you were so out of it I had to do it." Said Scott.

"I'm not out of it, I'm waiting for something." Stiles said still looking over Scotts shoulder.

"For what?" Scott asked then looked back behind himself to see what Stiles could be looking at.

"There they are." Stiles said as he got up heading towards another table. "Hi. How's it going?" Said Stiles standing at Jin and Austin's table.

"…um why do you ask?" Said Austin.

"Just trying to make friendly conversation." Said Stiles he then pointed at the seat in front of him and asked if it was taken.

"Does it look taken?" Said Austin.

"No." Stiles said then pulled the chair out and sat down not saying anything.

Allison and Lydia came to sit down with Scott,
whom had turn to the side looking back at Stiles trying to figure out what he was up to.

"What's he doing over there?" Said Allison.

"Don't know." Scott answered turning back to face Allison and Lydia.

"Stiles Can we help you with something?." Austin asked.

"Um yeah actually you can. Do you know somebody named Nathan?" Stiles asked.

"I think I heard the name before, why?" Austin asked.

"Because I need his number." Stiles answered.

"Why?"

"So I can get in touch with him." Said Stiles.

"Why?"

"Because I want to talk to him."

"Why?"

"Be…" Stiles started but decided not to continue with that path,
because it was probably going to continue to end with the word 'Why' being asked.

"Can we just stop with the back and forth. I just really need you to give me his number." Said Stiles.

"Sorry can't do that." Austin answered.

"Then tell me where he lives." Said Stiles.

"Yeah can't do that ether." said Austin.

"Why not? Said Stiles.

"Because we were told not to." Austin answered.

Stiles sighed. "Let me guess, by Derek?"

"Yep."

"Stiles sighed again dropping his head. "Jin?" Stiles said looking back up.

Jin sucked on his bottom lip and bit down. he shook his head no. It was something he often did without realizing it.

"Fine." said Stiles as he got up from the table then walked away.

"Who is this Nathan guy you keep mentioning?" Scott asked as Stiles made it back.

Stiles dropped his mouth open then said. "You were wolf-dropping me weren't you?"

Scott smiled as he said yeah.

"What's wolf-dropping?" Lydia asked.

Scott Stiles and Allison all looked at each other than said. "It's nothing."

"Fine don't tell me. But I will find out, Eventually. I always do." Said Lydia.

"What's that suppose to mean?" Said Stiles as he sat down.

"I'm smart, I don't stay in the dark for long." said Lydia.

Stiles folded his arms in front of himself on the table then laid his head down on them like a pillow.

"You've been looking pretty tired lately, what's up?" Allison said to Stiles.

"Oh you know, just trying to save the world and all." Stiles Said lazily.

Allison and Scott both looked at him seriously with questioning eyes.

Stiles noticed the looks and said. "No no I meant that as a joke."

After all that they had been through, they had taken his words seriously.

They relaxed back into their seats and Lydia looked at them frowning.

Mean while

The fox-girl had woken and went to the living room and was standing looking at Derek as he worked out,
she watched him her eyes following him up and down as he did push-ups.

As he finished he sat up catching site of her and flinched.

"You startled me I didn't sense you there." Said Derek.

"Ummm…" Derek hummed trying to think of what to say. "Are you hungry?" he asked.

The girl just stared at him in response not saying anything, until her stomach started to make noise.
She looked down at her stomach putting her hand there, then looked back up at him and said. "Yes."

Derek chuckled. And got up heading towards the kitchen. Looking in the cabinets not seeing anything,
he looked in the refrigerator. There wasn't much in there, just some water and berries.

"There is nothing in here." Said Derek. "Here eat these." Said Derek handing the berries to her.

Derek started to think then asked her how did she escaped from the hunters trap?

She froze like time had just stopped, Her chewing and everything, as she thought trying to remember back to what happened.

It kinda freaked Derek out as he frowned waiting for her to answer.

"Somebody helped me." She answered then stuck another Berry in her mouth.

"Did you know the person that helped you?" Derek asked.

She shook her head then said. "no. He just came from nowhere."
she said then chewed some more before continuing. He was a werewolf.

"A werewolf?" said Derek.

She nodded. "I think he got hurt." She said then repeated but this time with a more alarming tone.
"He got hurt!" she said dropping the container of berries and darting to the front door.
She opened it running out into the road, a car swerved to miss her as Derek pulled her back out-of-the-way and into his arms.

The driver got out of the car with her hand over her mouth. Asking if she was alright.

"Yes she's fine." Said Derek.

"I didn't see her she just came from out of nowhere." Said The driving.

"It's fine you didn't hit her, she's just a little shook up it's fine." Said Derek holding her close to him as he picked her up.
He looked like a father that was scared he almost lost his daughter.

"Are you sure?" The woman asked.

"Yes. you can go everything's fine."

The woman got back in her car and drove off. As Derek carried the fox-girl in the house.

"What is wrong with you?" Said Derek.

"I wanted to go and find the man who saved me."

"Oh really, it looked to me that you were trying to become roadkill." Said Derek.

"He might be dying, we have to go out there and see."

"We will, just wait a second." said Derek. As he went for his keys.

At The Hospital.

"That's it, I can't stand this anymore. I gotta get out of here."
Nathan thought to himself already tired of being in the hospital after just a day and a half.

He pulled all the things that was connected to him out, then the machine that monitors his heart went off.

"Crap." He said then launched at the machine trying to figure out how to make it stop the loud alarming noise it was making.
He finally settled with pulling it out of the socket.

"God I hope nobody noticed that." He said as he got up with a grunt.
"Since I'm getting out of here." Nathan said then started to heal himself and throw up a dark substance.
He put his hand to his throat like something was wrong.

Ms McCall came into the room. Seeing him down hunched over trying to breathe.

"Oh my god are you okay." Said Ms McCall as she came over to him.
She noticed the mess in front of him she called out for help. then put her hand on his back asking him to hold up.

Nathan turned his head towards her and struggled to get the words out that he was trying to say.

She tried to go and push the button to call in help but he grabbed her then struggled out the word.
"don't." he managed to get out before more came up.

Doctors came into the room and immediately started to assess him.

Nathan started to struggle against it.

"Hold him still." A doctor said as he tried to get the tracheal tube down his throat.

One of the doctors came with a syringe and sedated him.

Back At The School.

They were all gathering into the classroom and was taking their seats.
There was a tall muscular build brown-skinned man standing behind the teacher's desk,
he definitely wasn't their usual history teacher, whom was balding and wore suspenders.

As Stiles set to his desk he frowned when he caught sight of the man.

"What is it?" Scott asked.

"I think I know him." Said Stiles. "It can't be. Mr Zane?"

The man stood up and started to introduce himself as their new teacher.

"My name is David Brice Zane. And I'll be your new history teacher." That man announce.

"Oh my god it is him." Stiles said under his breath.

"Who is he?" Scott asked.

"He was my Dads best friend growing up. Me and his daughter played together all the time." Stiles explained.

"What happened to our old teacher?" A student asked.

"Well he won the lottery, and decided to go into early retirement." the teacher answered.

"Early. Don't you mean late, wasn't he like hundred." A student said causing the others to laugh.

Then another to say. "no he just looked like it."

"Alright everybody, let's get class started." The teacher said through all the laughter.

"I wonder if Alex is here to." Stiles said to himself.

"Who's Alex?" Scott asked.

"His daughter, my childhood friend." Stiles answered.

"Think he remembers you?" Said Scott.

Stiles hunched his shoulders in response.

"Over here." The fox-girl said as she pointed Derek in the Direction of where she had been caught.

Derek sniffed around the area, picking up a familiar scent. "Nathan." Said Derek. "Nathan was here."

"Nathan?" said the fox-girl repeating the name Derek had just said.

"Come on we have to go." Said Derek.

"Do you think he's okay?" The fox-girl asked.

"Nathan's strong I'm pretty sure where ever he is, he's okay." Said Derek.

The fox-girl could see the worry in his eyes and hear it in his voice, but stayed quite.
