Emma took her seat pulling her English book from her backpack. "How are you?" Stiles asked as she looked at him funny.

"I'm fine, why wouldn't I be?" she replied.

"With the whole…you know what about you know who."

"Stiles I don't understand you," she sighed as he pointed at Scott. She looked at him carefully. "You know….some strange things have been going on lately…I actually believe you guys," she said sounding crazy to herself. Stiles nodded satisfied as she opened her book.

"Wait what?"

"I said I believe you, what you don't believe me?" she fluttered her eyes as he smiled and faced the front as the bell rang.

"Alright," their teacher shouted gathering the classes attention. Emma bit her lip as she looked through her book, oddly enough she believed Scott and Stiles and from what she saw in the woods…she wasn't scared. She thought about the incident thinking of all the cheesy werewolf horror movies but it seemed not as far fetched as the movies made them. "Miss Fryse," the english teacher called out as she looked up. "Could you please tell me what we are talking about?"

"Um…what page?" she smiled as a few guys in the back laughed. Emma never daydreamed she usually was on top of the subject.

"We aren't on any page, Miss Fryse. We are discussing folklore, myth, and fairytale," the teacher sighed as she smiled in embarrassment. "Something your father probably taught you." She bit her lip thinking about her childhood. Everyone knew her father and that only made her feel worse when he was brought up. "Let's start with…"

"The Snow Queen," Scott spoke up as everyone looked at him. Emma leaned over her desk and looked at Scott's open book. She turned to the page he was on and looked at the foreword smiling. She knew a lot about the Snow Queen, her dad told her the story every night, up to the night he left. She reached for her necklace and sighed realizing it wasn't there.

"So does anyone know this story?" No one raised their hand, Emma sighed and held hers up.

"Of course she does," someone mumbled making her look at her book in embarrassment.

"Why not share what you know, Miss Fryse," the teacher sighed as she took a deep breath. She looked around the room as Stiles nudged her.

"Ignore everyone, do your thing Emma," he whispered as she laughed.

"I will if you promise never to say that again," she laughed as Stiles nodded.

"Miss Fryse?" Emma shook her head looking back to the front.

"Well, it's basically about a boy and a girl, Kay and Gerda, who love each other like a brother and sister would. The boy ends up getting a dust particle from a broken glass that was created by a devil to make the world look ugly. The boy then became mean toward the girl and everyone else. So the boy ends up getting taken by the Snow Queen because she sees how mean he has become she wants to take him from normal life so she saves his life by kissing his head twice saying if she kissed him a third time she'd kill him. The girl ends up going on a massive adventure finding a witch, a prince and princess, bandits, an elk, and the Finland lady to find her friend who then she saves by crying on him then they fall in love and happily ever after blah blah blah," she said rolling her eyes as the teacher nodded all but impressed.

"That was a very thought out explanation. Unfortunately, you missed one small detail, the Snow Queen is evil." Emma laughed causing her teacher to look at her shocked.

"I'm sorry, but that's not true. You could be basing it off the adaptions that were made because all of them make her evil, originally she isn't evil. I say she is more good then anything, but my father told me that in the original tale she is a neutral party. I mean if you actually read it maybe you'd see that," Emma sighed thinking she said it in her head as a few people chuckled while the rest of the class got deadly silent.

"What are you doing?" Stiles whispered as she looked up.

"Did I say that out loud?" she whispered back.

"You did, and since you think you are such a comedian Miss Fryse, I want you to write a one thousand word essay by Friday proving how you say the Snow Queen is so nice and good," the teacher mumbled angrily before opening his book. The bell soon rang and Emma quickly ran down the hall completely and utterly embarrassed.

"Wait up," Stiles yelled running over to her locker. "That was AWESOME!" he laughed as she rolled her eyes.

"I'm glad someone else thinks so, I just wish I kept my mouth shut," she said as she looked in her locker sighing in aggravation. "I left my sweatshirt at home, again?" she sighed whiny as Stiles laughed.

"Stay here," he said running down the hall. As Emma threw her books in the locker and took those she needed Lydia walked up with a puzzled look on her face.

"Who was that kid you were talking to?" she asked as Emma looked at Lydia. "Was that the one you have a crush on?" Emma laughed loudly.

"Stiles?" she shook her head. "No, he's just a friend from my history class actually he's in one of your classes too," Emma pointed at Lydia as she tilted her head looking at the awkward boy running back to them. "Besides the one I have a crush on, may be a bad idea."

"Aren't those the best," Lydia smiled childly. "Well I'll see you later I got to get to class."

"I'll see you at the game," Emma called as Lydia waved and walked away.

"You're going to the game?" Stiles asked his voice not sounding as upbeat as he did when he left.

"What, you don't want me there?" she laughed as he offered her his jacket. "Oh, you didn't have to do that, I can bare the cold for one day."

"I insist," he offered as she slowly took the jacket.

"Thank you," she smiled as the warning bell rang. "I'll see you later," she laughed as Stiles nodded and she ran down the hall to get to her next class. As the day progressed nothing else did every class was the same no new material and not many people were paying attention due to the hype of the first game of the year.

After a long day of class and homework Emma drove to meet Allison and Lydia at the game. "Where were you?" Lydia asked moving offer giving Emma enough room to sit.

"I had an essay to write."

"Already?" Allison asked as Emma shook her head not wanting to talk about it.

"I haven't finished it yet," she laughed shrugging her shoulders as Lydia laughed. Once the game started it hadn't taken long till Jackson made the first goal. "He looks to be in pretty good shape from that mishap," Emma laughed as Lydia smiled sarcastically sitting back down putting another one of her homemade posters by her feet.

"Yeah he is pretty good," she laughed as Emma concentrated on the field. She watched Scott carefully, he wasn't acting normal and she hoped no one else noticed. "What is he doing?" she whispered.

"Who?" Allison asked as everyone looked at her. Before another word could be transferred between the girls Beacon Hills High had taken the ball over again. Scott had finally gotten the ball and ran it in for a goal. Everyone jumped up except for Lydia.

"Give McCall the ball!" Coach yelled from the sidelines as Emma and Allison gave each other a satisfied glance. The game progressed Scott threw the ball through the goalies' stick and soon made the winning goal. Everyone jumped up and ran down the bleachers running onto the field.

"That was incredible," Emma laughed walking over to Stiles who nodded looking around nervously. "What? Should we be worried," she asked nervously as Stiles shrugged.

"I don't know," he said calmly. Emma looked at Stiles dad who was the phone his reaction completely surprised.

"Oh," she said loudly as Stiles jumped. "Thank you so much," she smiled taking the jacket off offering it to Stiles. He slowly took it and smiled awkwardly. "It saved my life," she added sarcastically as Stiles laughed.

"Yeah, anytime," he said as she smiled and gave him a small hug. Stiles' dad walked over and smiled at the young girl.

"Hi, Mr. Stilinski," she said softly shaking his hand. "I never got to thank you for saving me in the woods a couple of weeks ago," she laughed scratching the back of her head. He laughed.

"So what's happening?" Stiles asked pointing to his dad's phone.

"They are releasing Derek Hale."

"Why?" Stiles asked annoyed as Emma felt a heavy weight lifted from her chest. Hearing the reason of his innocence made her feel better as if she actually cared about Derek.

"The girl they found was finally identified," he said cautiously as the teens looked at him. "Her name was Laura Hale."

"Laura Hale?" Stiles asked.

"As in related to Derek Hale?" Emma finished.

"She was his sister," Mr. Stilinski nodded. Emma felt awkward and cold.

"I've got to go, I told my mom I'd be home around ten," she said as she looked around the field seeing looking for Allison or Mr. Argent. "And now I can't find my ride," she sighed once again thinking she said that in her head.

"I could give you a lift," Stiles suggested as she turned around. "We would just have to wait for Scott."

"Thanks Stiles, but I really have to leave like this very second," she smiled hugging the boy.

"I can take you," Stiles' dad spoke up. "I'm leaving now anyway," he added as her smile grew wider.

"You'd do that?" she replied as Mr. Stilinski nodded. "Ok, thank you so much," she smiled following Mr. Stilinski to the parked Sheriff's car in the parking lot. As they drove down the street the car became silent.

"So do you choose not to drive or don't have a license yet?" Mr. Stilinski finally asked as she laughed.

"Neither," she laughed harder. "I actually totaled my car a few weeks ago when I hit an animal and it costed my mom three grand to fix it, it actually should be done in a few days," she smiled.

"Three grand, wow, what did you hit?" he laughed as they turned onto her street. Emma shrugged and pointed at her house.

"It was too dark and the thing bolted before I could see anything," she sighed thinking of what she really hit. They pulled into her driveway and she thanked him before running into the house. She made it to her room and got ready for bed a massive smile on her face. "He's innocent, I knew it," she laughed at her reflection.

"Who's innocent?" Felix asked walking into her room causing her to scream a little.

"Derek," she said not thinking.

"Who?" he asked his sister his face changing a little.

"Just a friend, I knew was innocent from the beginning," she laughed as Felix looked at his sister through her mirror.

"Derek Who?"

"Does it matter, just a guy from school," she sighed grabbing her golden brush. "Now can you please leave, I need to get some sleep." Felix sighed kissed the back of her head and left. After climbing into bed she quickly fell asleep.

Early the next morning she woke to the sound of her alarm and got dressed in some jogging clothes. "Hold it," her mother called as Emma ran for the door. "Two questions, one where are you going on a saturday?"

"Just for a run," Emma sighed as her mom nodded slowly.

"Second question," her mother held her finger up as Emma felt her stomach knotting up remembering the conversation she had with her brother before bed. "Why are you up so early, it's almost six thirty," her mom laughed as Emma smiled and her stomach unknotted.

"I like running so early? Can I go now?" her mom nodded and she hugged her. Emma ran out the door and down the street soon slowing down into a jog as she turned into he woods taking the jogging trail. A few people were on the trail and Emma kept to herself and soon put her headphones on to block out the rest of the world. As she ran deeper into the woods she soon noticed she was no longer on the running trail in fact their was no trail. "Crap," she whispered looking around. She wanted to run back in the direction she went but forgot which way she came.

Taking off her headphones she began walking, her breath was the only thing she heard the cloud of steam rising from her lips. The early morning cool air felt good against her goose bump forming skin. The only time she was never cold was when she ran it made her feel normal. As she continued walking she noticed a mustang parked a few yards away, she recognized the car as her brother's. She smiled and sighed in relief knowing she could get a lift home. As she ran closer she noticed the car had been parked by the Hale house. She stopped in her tracks and felt the knot twisting in her stomach once more. Emma ran ahead to get a better look as she watched her brother look around before walking up the steps.

Derek's POV

Derek stood on the top step looking down at the door as Felix walked in. "I knew it was you," he said angrily. "I could smell you a mile away."

"I haven't come here to start trouble," Felix said defensively holding his hands up. "I heard what happened…well not all of it, just something about you being innocent," Felix looked at him as Derek came down the steps. Without saying a word Derek grabbed Felix by the throat and shoved him against a chard wall.

"Give me one good reason I shouldn't rip your throat out right now," he growled his eyes shifting a deep lighting blue. Felix shoved Derek back and grabbed his neck coughing his skin turning red where Derek grabbed him.

"Because I come to give you a warning," Felix wheezed as Derek looked out the window seeing Emma crouched behind Felix's car her heavy breathing echoing in his ear.

"Give me your empty promise and get off my property," Derek threatened taking a step closer.

"Very well," Felix gasped rubbing his neck, "Stay away from my sister," he pointed slamming his finger into Derek's chest. "She has no clue what this world truly obtains, she will remain blind to this…abomination," he smirked as Derek's lip twitched and his fists clenched. "Ignore her, I don't care what you do, just stay away, or I will come back myself and skin you myself. Understand dog," Felix growled as Derek stared him down.

"You are nothing like your father," Derek laughed seeing the huge difference.

"Don't mention that low life to me, he went around with a degree in stupid fairytales. It didn't take long for me to realize what he was teaching was actually true, I have been there to protect my sister, even if it was to get my parents to separate, she'll never know the truths, my father taught her, she still thinks it's all stories and Hale, so help me God, it will stay that way. I will kill you, want to test me, go right ahead, I would prefer you out of the way. The last living Hale who isn't in a vegetation state," Felix glared as Derek grabbed Felix by the neck again. Felix pulled an electric baton from his back pocket and pressed it to Derek's hip electrocuting them both. Derek fell back and sat on the stairs as Felix caught his breath gritting his teeth ignoring the pain. "That's it dog, stay," Felix grumbled opening the front door. He turned around smiling at Derek. "Stay away from Emma," he pointed. "Stay, good boy," he mocked before closing the door behind him as Derek growled staring at the closed door.

Emma's POV

Emma watched a blue light flash through the window and cocked her head to the side wondering what her brother was doing inside. As the door opened she bit her lip, stood up and ran back the direction she came hoping no one saw her. As she ran through the woods she made it back to the jogging trail but didn't stop she kept running praying no one saw her. As she made it to the crosswalk over the dirt drive a Mustang screeched to a halt nearly hitting her. The car honked and she grabbed her chest panting. The door opened and Felix rushed over to her hugging her. "I'm so sorry, Em, I didn't see you, I thought you were another jogger not paying attention, I'm so sorry," he pleaded nicely hugging her as she panted hugging him back.

"It's ok, I wasn't paying attention, my thoughts were other places, it's my fault," she panted trying to catch her breath.

"Do you want a ride?" he asked as she shook her head.

"No," she said quickly, "I just want to finish my run," she added as he nodded and walked back to his car. "I'm sure," she added before he could ask. As Felix disappeared into the distance Emma stood in the middle of street looking down the rest of the trail or going back to see if Derek was ok, she stood quietly the cold air finally making her shiver. She continued pacing back and forth wondering what to do.
