Hey, guess who's back? :) I'm SO sorry that I took this long to upload! It's just with a busy summer and watching the finale (Who's excited for January 6th? I know I am!) I put writing on the back burner, but not anymore! I'll try to update soon, so until we meet again, here's the next chapter! Hope you like the interactions of Meg and Ethan, and the usual stuff with Meg and Scott ;) OH! Another thing: I'm writing another story! I haven't got a title yet, but I'll post the first chapter soon! :)

Enjoy!

Meg's POV:

"Thanks for the ride," I said to Derek, un-buckling my seat belt, getting out of his car.

"No problem," he replied sipping on his coffee. Looking at his face, it seemed like the liquid caffeine was a good idea for him.

"Are you sure you don't want to take a day off from school?" He asked one more time, looking a bit concerned "You might still be in shock," as if to prove his point, my head throbbed again.

After the night of the full moon, I woke up to the surprise of finding my cousin Cora, who I thought was dead, alive, well and sitting on my bedroom floor exhausted. To say I went into to shock was a bit of an understatement.

"Yeah," I said, grabbing my gym and school bag "I'll be fine,"

Derek didn't say anything but nodded "Call me if you do, okay?"

I nodded, waving as I watched his car drive away. I turned to head inside until I noticed out of the corner of my eye, Derek park his car in the parking lot and get out. I paused, debating whether to call out his name, but then decided against it.

Besides, if it was important, Derek would tell me about it sooner or later…

Fifteen minutes later, I tightened the laces on my shoes once more before leaving the girls locker room.

Scott, Stiles, Isaac, Danny and a few other boys decided to try out for the cross-country team to begin training for lacrosse. Arden, who I swear is my biggest fan, bragged about my running to the boys a few days ago and they encouraged me to join.

Well, mostly Scott encouraged me to join, but here I was: Changed and now stretching out my calves.

It was a weird excitement for me being here. I was actually participating on a sport team, being a normal teenager for once: The pap's haven't bothered Arden and I for a few weeks now, and it felt so freeing to not see your face in front of every newsstand, telling the world of what embarrassing mishap or relationship spat(cough, cough) you had last night.

For once, I felt relaxed.

I grinned a little at that thought as I joined my group of peers, and Coach Finstock, around a big tree.

"Hey," I whispered to Scott as Coach ranted about what we were going to do.

Scott turned slightly towards me and grinned sleepily "Hey, good morning," he yawned and I couldn't help but giggle a little at him. He reminded me too much of a puppy.

But, I guess that's kind of fitting since he is a werewolf…

"Someone's tired, huh?" I joked but he nodded looking very adorable, almost too adorable.

"Late shift," he explained as the twins brushed past us. It was kind of hard still to tell them apart, but I knew immediately which one was Danny's twin when one of the two smiled at me in recognition as they passed. I grinned back and was about to wave but then noticed Scott stiffened.

"You okay?" I asked him as he watched them walk, but then he snapped out of his trance.

"Yeah," he said, shaking his head, then he turned towards me with a sudden new energy "What are you doing this weekend?"

I paused, biting my lip and thinking it over. Well, Arden and I were planning to go shopping with Danny...

"-Nope," I lied, "Why?"

Scott smiled a little as he explained "Well, my mom and I were going to go grab brunch at a diner in town we used to go to every Saturday when I was little. She said I could bring a friend, and I figured since you're still pretty new here, I thought you'd like to explore Beacon Hills some more."

I was almost speechless as I realized that he was saying, and I suddenly felt my cheeks warm because this was technically him asking-

"-Meg?"

I snapped out of my thoughts.

"-So? What do you say?" He asked, his brown eyes looking hopefully into mine.

Trying to play it cool, I smiled back "Sure, I'd liked that."

Scott smiled and was about to say something else when Isaac accidentally bumped into him.

"Whoa there Isaac!" Scott said grabbing himself my arm to keep from falling. I felt goose bumps erupt underneath my pink hoodie and I hoped to God that he didn't notice.

Isaac looked up at us both before quickly turning to Scott and clenching his jaw. For once, I saw Isaac make an actual expression across his pretty calm features: Anger.

"It's them," Isaac said and quickly as he ran into us, he was running with the rest of the students and Coach Finstock.

Scott's eyes widen, and quickly turns back to me, saying "My mom and I will pick you up, I'll text you more details later!" and like a bullet he took off.

"Scott?" I asked, confused by what just happened and by the weird, gut feeling I was getting. Knowing that something was wrong, I quickly started picking up my pace, soon passing the main group.

"Good job Fox!" Coach called out as he looked like he was going to collapse from exhaustion.

I picked up my pace, trying to reach Scott and then realized he was following Isaac, who was after the twins.

I putting the pieces together, I realized that a werewolf rumble might go down.

"Crap," I muttered, started running at top speed. Suddenly, they all took a detour, and I almost ran past them. Stopping suddenly and almost tripping, I pivoted and followed after them again.

My lungs were burning, as I realized now that I wasn't going to catch up to them because 1: They were werewolves and 2: They had too much of a head start.

I still kept running and I could see from a couple of yards away, Isaac, Scott and the twins all standing in a circle.

Now, I was new to the "werewolf-thing", but I could tell when they were ready to fight when I saw it. Panic started to fill me, making me think of the worst case scenarios and the risk of everyone seeing them wolfed out.

So I did the first thing I could do in this situation.

Distract them.

"Hey!" I exclaimed, using up the last of my speed to get closer "Hey, guys!"

They started growling.

"Guys!" I yelled close enough to see their faces.

I almost stopped dead in my tracks, seeing the red eyes glowing on the twin's faces, man it freaked me out.

Snapping out it, I yelled one more time "Stop it boys!"

One of the twin's heads snapped in my direction shooting me a confused look, along with Scott as they faced me. They were still wolfed out, but it looked like they heard me.

Almost as if they understood me.

Suddenly, on top of everything else, I heard a terrified scream.

The circle stopped, like the hypnotic trance of battle broke and they quickly followed the sound, their faces quickly morphing back to normal.

My adrenaline went down, and my energy levels crashed. My legs were so shaky from the intense running, I fell to the ground.

Gasping for air, I looked up to see that one of the twins coming towards me.

He didn't say anything as he quickly looked around and held out a hand. Shocked, I accepted it, and he pulled me up from the ground with ease.

"Just breathe," he said, his voice oddly higher pitched then what I thought it'd be, but still sounded really masculine as I bent over, both hands on my knees and he rubbed my back slightly "You'll be okay."

I didn't say anything at first because a million questions were starting to form in my mind, but the biggest one was why did he come back to help me?

"Thanks-"

"-Ethan,"

"-Thanks Ethan," I said, when my breathing came easier and my heart-rate slowed down "I'm Meg by the way."

He nodded "I know," and a slight smile appeared on his face "Danny told me,"

I grinned back and then heard Scott calling my name.

Ethan turned and looked back at me "I'm only going to tell you this once," he said with full severity "Stay out of this. Whatever you know or did back there, will get you killed." And with that, he ran away.

Watching him run, I wondered what he meant by did.

What did I even exactly do back there?

"Meg!" Scott yelled, stopping in front of me with a look of concern "Are you okay?"

I nodded, "What happened?"

"Isaac wanted to take on the twins because he thought they knew something about the murder of Stiles friend, Heather." Scott explained as we hurried back towards our peers.

I thought it over "Are they?"

Scott shrugged "We can't know for sure,"

When we finally caught up to the group, I noticed Coach yelling at students to back off from a tree.

"Scott," I asked, looking over "What happened? What was that scream?"

Scott looked back sadly and we saw a girl sobbing near the site "A guy is tied to the tree over there, he's dead." Shocked I looked over, seeing what he said was true.

"Oh my god," I breathed

"Yeah," Scott agreed "He was killed the same way as Heather too."

I looked at him confused "Heather?"

"You don't know?"

I looked past him to see Ethan and his brother standing a few feet away, Ethan's eyes directly on me.

"Know what?" I suddenly got the feeling I was missing something else, something way more important than what was going on here.
