As the two lay in the back seat, asleep, they were woken up from their sleep by someone kicking on the window. Alice covers chest as Derek went into protective mod. But they both relax as it was Issac, standing outside the window. Derek pushes the driver seat forward, open the door and step outside. "Derek, there a problem." Issac tells him, as Alice pulls on her red tank-top and her leather jacket. "What is it?" Derek asks his Beta. "Scott and Stiles are at the station getting a retraining order." Alice pops her head out of the car. "What?" she asks him and stepping out, "Yeah they had Jackson lock up somewhere in a stolen prison transport van, he got free somehow and his dad took it to the police and now they're getting a retraining order." Issac in forms them, Alice then realizes why, reaches into her pocket. Pulls out her from and saw ten miss calls from, Scott, Stiles, and Allison.
"Derek, I have to go." she tells him, placing her phone in her pocket and went to run off. But Derek grabs her arm, she turns around and Derek press his lips against her, she was taken by surprise, but kisses him back. "Be careful." he tells her, she smiles. "Always." and took off running at her monstrous speed. Derek watch her leave, Issac looks between them, Derek looks at him. "What?" he asks, "So are you two talking again?" Issac asks him, "Yeah, yeah we are." Derek reaches into them back pulling out his shirt and jacket and dresses back into them. "We definitely are." he mumbles, the two hop in the car and drove back to the subway station.

Alice arrives at the Station and pops into the room when Mr. Stilinski was done giving the orders of the restraint. "Um... hi." she greets when everyone looks at her. "Alice, where are you?" Mr. Stilinski asks her, "Scott tried to call me, but I was too busy at the library to answer, so here I am." she lies to him.
"What about School?" Stiles asks him. "You'll attend classes maintaing a 50-feet distance." he tells him. "Okay, but if we have to use the bathroom..." Stiles went to saw, but Alice covers his mouth and stop him from saying anything else. "Ignore him." she tells them. Then later Stiles was talking to his dad as Melissa pushes her two children out into the hall.
They turn and face her, "It's not just this. Although a retraining order is a new low that I didn't think you would reach quite this soon, it's everything on top of it." she tells them, Alice shift in her spot. "The completely bazaar behavior, the late nights coming home, having to beg Mr. Harris for you to make-up the chemistry test." she tells Scott. "I missed the chemistry test?" Scott asks, "Really Scott? Really?" she tells him and looks at Alice. "And you young lady; the disappearing in the middle of the night, coming home early in the morning, also the bazaar behavior and the sudden new punk look?" she tells her. Alice looks down at her clothing then back at her.
"I have to ground you, you two are grounded." she tells her, "What about work?" Alice asks her, "Fine other then work and no TV." she tells them, "My TV is broken and Alice doesn't watch any." Scott adds. "Then no computer." she throws out. "We need our computers for School." Scott throws out. "Then no, uh..." she turns looking at Stiles then back that them. "No Stiles." she adds, "What no Stiles?" Stiles ask walking up to them, Alice went to argue.
"No Stiles!" Melissa said sternly, making Alice shut her trap and Stiles to sink back. "And no more car proivlages, give me your keys." she orders them, Alice tries to argue again, "Give them to me!" she shouts, Alice and Scott reach into their pockets and handed their keys over. She then tries to remove the car key from the ring on Alice's keys. "Oh for the love of god." she mumbles. "Mum, do you want me to.." Alice asks her. "No." she states, trying to remove the key. "Mum, come on let me just, mum..." Alice tells her softly, Melissa shook her head at her. "Mum." Alice said again, gently placing her hands on her mothers, stopping her, Scott place his hand on Melissa's shoulder and she looks at them. "What is going on with you two?" she asks them, they just gave her sad looks.
"Is this about Allison?" she ask Scott, Stiles shook his head, Scott sighs, looking at his sister, who shared what he felt. Then they look at their mother, "Do you really want to know?" Scott asks her. "Yeah." Melissa nods her head, as Stiles shook his head, the twins eye him for a second and tried to come up with an excuse. "Is this about your father?" she asks them, Stiles nods, Scott eyed Stiles from time to time as Alice said nothing, "It is, isn't it?" she ask. "Okay, you know what, we'll talk about this at home, I'll get the car." she tells them and left, Alice watches and walk over to Stiles, "I'm the worst son ever." Scott states, "Well, I'm not wining any prizes." Stiles tells him as Jackson's father argues with Stiles's.
Alice then turns away, going to walk out of the station, but as she walk around the corner, she stop, looking at Jackson, he looks at her, a smirk slowly graces his lip, she just glares at him, eyes flashing white, he just looks away, the smirk still on his face. She just clutches her fist, he did this on purpose and she knew that.

Later today at School, Alice was walking with Rosalie and Matthew, he held a book in his arms; big, old book. "Are you sure it's wise to bring that book around when the Argents have infected the school?" Rosalie asks him in a worry tone, he looks at her, "Probably right." he states, opens Alice's bag and slips it in. She turns and looks at him, "Really, Matthew? Really?" she asks him, he shrugs as Rosalie zips up the bag. "Anyway, I have to ask you something." Matthew states, "What's that?" she asks a she read a copy of her own bestiary, looking at the section of the Kanima. "What is that on your neck?" he asks, pointing at the bruise mark on the left side of her neck. Alice then stiffens up, them quickly moves her hand and covered the bruise.
"Uh... that's um..." she tells them as her face was blushing red. "Derek did that didn't he? Giving you a hickey or five?" Rosalie asks, checking Alice's neck. "Guys, can we please get back to the problem at hand?" she asks them, trying to change the subject. "What do you got, little sis?" Matthew looks over her shoulder, "Well who ever is controlling Jackson, is going after completely innocent people, well besides Issac's father of course." Alice states, "But what if the killing of his father was the final line?" Rosalie asks him, "You mean like he did that before he got a master?" Alice asks her. "Will yeah and if the person that Jackson was avenging had more in mind?" Rosalie went on, "What did they have in common?" Matthew asks, running his hand over his dirty blond hair. "They were all 24, all on the Swim team, Jessica was dating Jessie, and Issac's father must of been the coach of the team." Alice peace together. "Wow, I can totally seeing that right now." Matthew adds. "But why is Jackson the Kanima?" Rosalie asks.
"Come here." Alice walks over to a corner, the two follow after her, "Listen to this; the Kanima is a rejected werewolf that cannot become a werewolf until it resolves that in it's past which manifested." Alice read the paragraph, "So something in Jackson's past is causing him not to become a full werewolf." Matthew states. "Maybe it has something to do with his parents." Alice states, the druid and warlock look at her, "His real parents." she states.
"Does anyone in this school know what happen to them?" Rosalie asks her, Alice shrugs. "I usually hate the guy, inside and out." Alice tells him. "Not helpful, Ally Cat." Matthew mumbles, "Wait, maybe one spells from the spell book." Matthew tells them, "Yeah, but not here, the Argents are watching us." Alice nudge her head to the big white camera that was watching them. Matthew nods, and they walk down the hall.
"I figured out what you are." Matthew whispers to her, "Really? What?" she ask him, "Ever heard of the Lunar wolf?" he asks her, "From books." she tells him. "Well, it's legendary wolf, that even among it own kind, it a myth. It's said to the strongest wolf, even more stronger then the Alpha." he tells her as they went to class. "Do you know why it's called the Lunar wolf?" he asks her, Alice sighs, "Because of it's eyes, Lunar, mean 'new moon'." she answers.
"Like an infant, no clue what it's doing or why. But relies on it's instincts and when you went Lunar wolf or it took over. And that something triggered the wolf to come to life." he whispers to her. "Like what?" she asks, "Like an emotion; anger, joy, sorrow, fear, anything. Something triggered it and we have to find out what." he tells her, "Is there a cure to be a normal werewolf?" she ask him. "Yeah, a ritual, it will send you back to the time that the trigger was pull, but there has to be an object to pull you back, to help you confront whatever triggered you and it can only be done be a Witch and Druid." he tells her, "Well, we have a Druid and a Warlock and I need my Anchor to help me through this." Alice tells him.
Then class ended as the three went of to their next class, then people started to run somewhere, then the photographer was running pass them. "Hey, Matt, what's going on?" Alice asks him, "Jackson and Scott are going at each other." he tells her, then took off. Alice looks at her friends and they took off. They reach the crowded hall. Then Mr. Harris came in and made them spot, Alice saw Matt pick up Allison's tablet, and Delete the translation of the Kanima. She tilts her head in confusion and Matt handed the tablet to Mr. Harris and they all got detention.

After school was over, the three ran to the subway and told Derek everything about the Lunar wolf. "That's impossible, the Lunar wolf is suppose to be a myth, pure myth." Derek states crossing his arms. "And yet here one stands." Matthew juster to Alice. "Any idea what cause to her to trigger into becoming the wolf?" he asks him. "No, but with the help of one of my spells, we need her to go back to the time when then she was first triggered." Matthew tells her, "A time traveling spell?" Issac asks her, Rosalie laughs a little as Matthew looks at him, "No, that spell is too high a class for me." Matthew tells him, "What class is it?" Boyd asks him, "98." Rosalie answers. "What class are you?" Issac asks, "53." Matthew answers. The two new to the whole supernatural world were blown away.
"Here; Memini et Repeat." he said, showing them the page, "What does that mean?" Issac asks him, "It's Latin for Remember and Repeat." Rosalie tells them, "It can only be performed by a Witch and a Druid and we need some one there with her, that share an emotional connection with her, what you werewolves call an anchor." Matthew informs him, Derek nods. "I'll go." he tells them. "I was going suggest you anyway, you share a deep emotional connection, which explains the hickey marks on her neck." he taunts them, Alice looks away as Derek clears his throat. Rosalie playfully smacks his arm, he looks at her and them back at them. "This is a pretty strong spell, but I'm sure you two can survive, but we'll have to do it before the full moon or you're going to stuck like this forever." Matthew warns them.
"That's comforting to know." she states, Derek grips her shoulder. Matthew flicks his wrist and a circle with a star in the center was already drawn on the ground and an item of the elements sat at each direction; North, East, South, and West. "Okay Derek, Alice stand in the middle, facing each other, hold hands to make sure the connection is less painful." Matthew orders them.
Alice and Derek moves to the center of the circle, facing one another, and hands grips in each another hands. "Alright, Rosalie, you ready?" he asks her. She nods at him, Matthew stood behind Alice, outside the circle and Rosalie stood behind Derek, also outside the circle. "You ready?" Derek asks her, she nods, Derek could hear her heart pounding, telling him, she was nervous as hell.
"Gaia, petimus ut mater nostra, libera nos, ferque vocationem nostram.
Netis thread
Texueritis Skane
Cum didici quare sit factus incidam
Vos nobiscum stare
Ab iis timet malum bane
Nos reducunt iterum."
The two chant in Latin, everything around the two werewolves shake, but they barely notice anything as they were lost in each others eyes. And everything went dark; Alice opens her eyes and she found herself back in the woods, Derek standing next to her, both shifted, his eyes glowed red as her's glowed white. "Where are we?" Derek asks her.
"I have no idea." she mumbles. There hands intertwined with each other and a thin white line wrap around their wrist and held them close. "Hey, wait!" Scott shouts out, they both look over and saw the dead Hobo and Scott chasing after him. "Wasn't that man dead?" Alice asks, "Yeah." Derek answers, then the two took off and they stop at the area where the Omega was murdered. Gerard held out a the broad sword. "No, stop. Stop it!" Alice shouts out, tears falling from her eyes. "This is it this is what triggered the Lunar wolf, your fear." Derek mumbles, now understanding, then he turns her to him, gripping both of her shoulders. "Alice, it wasn't your fault." Derek tells her. "I could of save him, I could of done something." she blames herself. Gripping her head.
Derek gently grips her hands, "Hey, there was nothing you could of done. Alice, you don't have to save everyone. It's okay to depend on others, when you found about my family, do you remember what you said." Derek tells her in a clam tone. "I said... I didn't blame you." she tells him, "Alice, you once said it to me, now its my turn; Alice McCall, I'm going to fix this broken heart of yours peace by peace and you're not going to stop me." he tells her. Alice just looks at him, shock at his words. Tears stream down her face as she slowly relaxes in his arms, her glowing white eyes, slowly filled with the golden color as the scene when Gerard was going to cut the Omega in half vanishes in thin air. Her hands slip from her head and Derek held her face in his hands. Then her eyes were glowing golden again, he smiles at her and gently press his lips against her, they both shifted back to their human states.
Then as if time was fast forward, the night fade away and it was midday. Derek away from her, and cradles her cheek in a loving matter. She smiles, leaning into his hand. Then there was a howl in the distance, the two look in the distance behind them and saw a black wolf, with white eyes.
"Derek." Alice grips his hands, he looks at her as she pulled his hands away from her face. "Thank you, for bringing me back, but right now. I have to face her on my own." Alice tells him with a smile, "What, no! I won't let you!" He protested, gripping her hands in his hands. She smiles at him as her pale skin was fill with life. "Remember how you said you trust me?" she asks him. Derek nods, "Will trust me now, I know what I'm doing." she tells him, Derek looks into her eyes and saw she was sure about what she was doing. He sighs at her, "Are you sure?" he asks her.
She smiles, "Absolutely." she tells him, Derek cups the side of her check pulling her one more kiss. She accepted it for the kiss and he pulls away, pressing his forehead against her. "Come back to me, you have to come back to me." he asks of her. She nods at him, pulling his hand away from her cheek and walks to the monstrous wolf, her hand slipping from his and he fades away. The leaves and twigs snap under her boots. The wolf whimpers at her as she kneels down in front of her, smiles softly. "I understand, you wanted to protect everyone from dying, but you also were protecting us, you didn't want us to fall and become what Gerard is, didn't you." Alice tells the wolf. She whimpers setting her head onto Alice lap, asking for her forgiveness. "I'm not mad at you, I was just confused and now I understand why you did it." she tells her, the wolf's ears flick forward as she raise her head of of Alice lap. "I forgive you." she tells her. The wolf let out a happy growl, then looks in the direction to the side of them. "Is there something you want to show me?" Alice asks her, the wolf crawls off into the direction, Alice stood up and follows after the wolf. They got closer and Alice could hear music and voices.
Instantly she found herself in the back pouch of Issac house, it was a pool party, she saw the wolf walk over to the table, she follows her and looks at one of the half full cups, she smells the scent then winces away. "Alcohol, Issac's father was letting them drink Alcohol, a fucking teenage swim team." she mumbles, then heard someone struggling. Alice and her wolf look over and saw a young boy being held up by Issac's older brother. Then saw the boy being thrown into the pool and slowly sink to the bottom.
Alice cover her mouth in horror, the wolf looks at her, "That why the he using Jackson to target them, isn't it?" she asks her, the wolf nods her. "They'll murders in his eyes and he doesn't know what his doing and the conqencues of breaking the rules." she states, the wolf growls in agreement. They then ran to the light and found themselves back in the midday forest. "I have to tell them, I... I have to tell them the master purpose, his goal, why he's doing this." Alice tells her wolf, the wolf looks at her and Alice kneels down, "Thank you for doing this, but now it's my turn." she cups her wolf's cheek. She growls lowly leaning into Alice hand, "Good-bye my friend." she tells her, the wolf pulls away from her hand, bows her head to Alice and disappeared as it ran off.
Alice then stood up on her feet and a determined look on her face, "Now it's time for me to return as well." she states, she turns and saw her way out. She walks up to the exit, then fades into the white light, feeling as if a heavy weight was lifted of her shoulders. Knowing that she doesn't have to bare the responsibility all on her own, she has friends, family that are going to help her, through thick and thin. Maybe that's what she need.
Somebody to rely on.
