As always, thanks for the reviews and comments! I think you all have waited long enough…

Disclaimer: I own plot and nothing else.

"W-w-what?" I stammered, looking between the two. Derek, swallowed. then slowly turned his gaze back to Ryan.

Tori' eyes were wide, her mouth trembling as if it were to drop. I felt the same way. Ryan continued to scowl at Derek.

Derek shook his head for a minute, then quickly ran his tongue over his bottom lip.

"You're supposed to be dead." He said flatly, his green eyes not leaving Ryan's identical ones. Ryan snorted. "Please don't tell me you're that naïve." He gave Derek a look, then rolled his eyes. Tori and I stood frozen.

Derek opened his mouth to speak, shook his head, then finally blurted out, "How? They took you. All of you." He swallowed again, his gaze becoming fiercer. "You're supposed to be dead."

Ryan sighed. "In case you haven't noticed, were werewolves." Ryan rolled his eyes. Derek looked to me, then Tori, and when he looked back to Ryan he rose his eyebrows.

"Oh don't pull that crap." Ryan looked at me, narrowed his eyes, then looked back to Derek. "They know what we are." He eyed me. "I'd bet she's seen you in your.." He thought for a minute. "True form." He smiled. it wasn't a creepy smile. It wasn't distrubing. It was actually kind of alluring.

Derek glanced over to Tori, who was frozen stiff. Ryan finally moved, walking toward her. "I'm sorry," he said to Tori, who finally showed response by looking at Ryan. "What did you want to talk about? You texted me earlier." Ryan's voice was softer, casual, like nothing had happen. I let out a breath, and tried to walk next to Tori, to help her tell him, but as I moved my foot Derek shot my glance I knew all too well, one that meant Oh hell no you don't.

I glared back at him for a minute, then nodded. Tori opened her mouth to speak, but Ryan cut her off. "Does it have anything to do with the three other heartbeats coming from your stomach?" Ryan's gaze softened, and right then, I could've sworn he was a sweet, kind normal guy.

But I couldn't act on that. Because I couldn't tell if he was acting or not.

Tori nodded, her face hard. "Their your's. You did this to me." Her voice was so cold I had to do a double take. She turned to me. "Their werewolves, aren't they? That's great. That's wonderful." She scrunched up her face in disgust.

Derek didn't so much as blink let alone look away from Ryan. Ryan winced at Tori 's words.

Suddenly, we heard two sets of footsteps behind us. I was the only one who turned. Rae and Mr. Bae were staring at us, confused.

Derek stepped forward, toward Ryan. I held my breath.

"You need to leave now." He rumbled. Tori crossed her arms. Mr. Bae stepped forward. "Whoa, whoa, not before I meet him, Derek." Mr. Bae kindly smiled, and stepped forward, extending a hand. I knew Mr. Bae by now, so knew that behind that smile, he was being very caution. Ryan took shook it, and smiled just as fakely back.

"I'm Rae." Rae said, smiling politely and also extending her hand. He took it, and brought it up to his lips. Rae reddened, then looked to Tori to see if it was okay.

If looks cold kill, Tori would have had Ryan dead by now.

I wanted to throw up.

Silence.

"So.." Rae awkwardly tried to start a conversation. "How long have you and Tori been going out?" She said, her head slightly cocked to the side. Ryan carefully eyed Rae. I shivered.

"About two weeks." He said flatly. He turned his eyes to me. I looked away, trying not to let him see I was watching his every move.

I looked to Derek, who was now looking at me. His green eyes seemed to see into my soul, as cheesy as that may sound.

Rae sighed. "Well, it was nice meeting you, but I gotta run." She walked up to the door. I blinked, and finally found words.

"But you were out last night." I said, pleading. Even though I had four other people in the house on my side, the lose of one person frightened me. Although at the same time I was a little relieved Rae was out of the house.

She shrugged. "Hey Kit, can I have the keys, please?" She asked. He nodded, looked down and dug in his pocket. He pulled them out, and threw that at her. They rattled as she wrapped her fingers around them. "Thanks. Ill be back later!" She called out, opened the door, and slammed it as she left.

Mr. Bae sharply looked at Derek, as if to say What's going on?. I was guessing it was because Ryan and Derek were studying each other.

I felt awkward. "Excuse me." I said quietly, and slipped down the hall into the bathroom. Once I was in. I closed the door and propped myself up against it.

I thought. Maybe if I kept myself in here long enough, Ryan would leave. Oh yeah, wonderful idea.

But if I stayed in for quiet a while, then maybe he would leave. Half-hour tops I promised myself. And so I sat down up against the door, on the floor, hugging my knees to my chest.

Thirty minutes later, I wasn't paying attention to the hushed voices and footsteps in the living room. I was paying attention to the hair band around my wrist, which I had done to calm myself down.

Which was stupid. Because If I had been listening, I would have been ready.

A knock on the door made me jump. I quickly got to my feet, and opened the door, expecting to see Derek or Mr. Bae telling my Ryan was gone.

But it wasn't.

It was Ryan.

I cant not tell you guys how hard it was for me to update. I actually almost gave up this fanfic, but if I cant even finish this, how the hell am I going to finish a book?
