Stiles stood there stunned at my confession.

I slapped my hands over my mouth, with my eyes going wide in realisation of what I said.

He came up to me and hugged me tight like only a brother could do, "you still have us, we will never leave you" I hugged him closer to me, seeking his brotherly comfort. I knew I shouldn't have said anything but the weight off my shoulders felt great, "I hate them for what they did, my dad has never been the same, and I don't think that Alison will turn out any different from them" he pulled my hand towards his truck "come on DeeDee come with me a moment" I felt slightly confused. He pulled me up into the truck, I saw Derek and Scott getting into his car. He was more than likely going to take him to see Peter, his uncle.

Peter was the only survivor of the incident, if you would call it an incident.

The Argent family set the fire at the Hale house, my mother was in there. Me, Derek and Laura were all out at school and Rae was in daycare when we got the call that the house was burnt to the ground with only Peter still alive, if you call being reduced to a vegetable alive. My mother knew that the Hale pack was strong and with her being a witch, it only made them stronger and more of a threat to hunters and other packs. So it was inevitable that somebody would try to kill her and them. The house was burnt down with my mother still inside and I could tell that my father was distraught so it wasn't any surprise when he took off.

The next day Stiles came round to my house at midday car keys and wallet in hand, "come on we are going out for ice cream" I opened my mouth to protest "no but ifs and not taking no for an answer, we are going out for ice cream and we are going to have fun" he had a look on his face that screamed just go with it so I decided to humour him and go along for the ride. When using my magic on the site of the fire, I knew it was the Argents and it was easy to tell, but with my parental condition being rather delicate even more so after the fire, I was shipped away before I could blink leaving my family memories behind.

I was pulled out of my thoughts by the car stopping.

I turned my head to the front of the car, seeing the ice cream place we used to visit when we were kids I grinned "you remembered" he chuckled at me "of course I remembered my sisters favourite place" I smiled at him referring to me as his sister. We went in and sat down in the booth we always used to sit in when we were smaller, I noticed the booth still had the rip in where I caught it on my shoe and pulled it, my parents weren't impressed but we were young, free spirited and carefree.

I sat down and we had the sundae that we always used to have which was a spaghetti eis (ice) which was vanilla ice cream is pressed through a machine to make it look like spaghetti. It is then placed in a dish and topped with strawberry sauce to look like tomato sauce and white chocolate shavings to represent the parmesan cheese.

Half way through we were reminiscing about the last time we were here which was my birthday meal. Life was so simple back then, no werewolves, Alphas or magic powers to worry about.

We had just finished when Stiles dad walked into the diner "you two out now" the whole diner looked at us as he jerked his thumb over his shoulder and glared at us. I grimaced at his tone and went to throw down money on the table but Stiles beat me to it "my treat DeeDee" I rolled my eyes and nudged his shoulder with mine. We stopped at a fast food joint after we had been in the car for a while because ice cream although its a very good comfort food it isn't very filling.

As we sat in the car eating the radio went off "unit one do you copy?" Stiles reached out to grab the radio but his hand was slapped away by his dad "we have a suspected one eighty seven"

Murder?

Stiles eyes widened, fries were hanging from his mouth, the sirens got switched on and we sped off to the DVD rental shop, the sheriff told us to stay in the car, I saw Jackson laying into him "oh woah is that a dead body?" Stiles took the attention away from the argument between his dad and Jackson but it was towards the poor sod that got killed I looked up and saw Derek and Scott talking on the roof of the building and I quickly texted Derek

M: will meet you at the house soon

D: fine got Scott with me.

As soon as I got back to the house I dumped my purse and teleported to the woods just as they got in to the house. "I have a life you know" Scott pointed up indignantly "no you don't" Derek came back with quickly causing me to chuckle "yes I do, I don't care what you say about him making me his pet or" he trailed off "part of his pack" Derek and I spoke at the same time "whatever I have homework to do, I have to go to a parent teacher conference tomorrow because I'm failing chemistry"

I shook my head "do you wanna do homework of do you wanna not die?" Derek asked him. Scott sighed. "You have less than a week til the full moon, you don't kill with him, he kills you" I glared at him "what Derek failed to say is that he would kill you if you refused at you would be useless to him and he would go bite somebody else" Scott looked unimpressed "ok seriously who made up these rules?" I smirked "it's a rite of passage into his pack" he still looked annoyed "you know what else is a rite of passage? Graduating from high school! And you don't have to kill anyone to do it" I chuckled "though sometimes you may want to do it" he started stuttering "wh yyou just find him yourself?" Scott asked.

They started arguing about the alpha and how Scott has to be the one to sniff him out(pun intended) "hey Meridithe come here for a moment" Derek called me over "what is the thing that keeps people human?" he asked me "pain" I answered he squeezed Scotts hand and I could here the crunching of his bones, I gagged as I saw his bones heal themselves back into place "now that is nasty" I walked over to him and used one of my gifts to lessen his pain. "maybe you will survive" I glared daggers at him and contemplated using a part of my powers to cause him pain.

The next day I put on a pair of pinstriped pink and black skinny jeans a black tank top my steel toe cap heeled ankle boots and my mums old bracelet, I picked up my cardigsn and my messenger bag and grabbed a smoothie and got in my car to got to school after 10 minutes of driving I walked into school, Scott had asked me to put a few things inside Alisons locker from him and I slipped my gift for her into my bag ready to give her when I saw her, after a few moments I saw Alison walk in and she was wearing a new necklace, I walked up to her "nice bling love" my English mannerisms making an appearance, we went our lockers which were side by side, I chuckled knowingly and slipped in the surprises, she opened her locker and was quite surprised when she saw the balloons come bursting out at her. I chuckled and she glared at me "you?" I smiled"only the balloons and this" I held out the box and she pulled out the charm bracelet I had bought her "I'm not even going to ask how you found out" I laughed "you wouldn't even get a straight answer"

I hugged her and saw Scott "right I'm going now before the PDA starts" she glared at me and I stuck out my tongue and walked to chemistry, Jackson walked in step with me "so I didn't get a call yesterday" he pointed out "my phone was dead and besides you have a girlfriend why don't you work on being nicer to her eh? Oh and now we are late thanks a bunch" I walked into the class room and sat in my assigned seat across from Stiles, he leaned towards Danny "hey Danny can I ask you a question" Danny cut him off with a simple no "well I'm going to anyway did Lydia show in your home room today?" Danny sighed "no" I turned to my book trying to comprehend the passage and stiles obsession with Lydia.

I walked into the locker room where I knew Derek would be. He walked up behind Jackson who's physique was very distracting, he walked up to him "I, I don't know where Scott is" he stuttered out "I'm not here for Scott, I'm here for you" he nodded his head towards Jackson who was backed up in to lockers " w why me? I I didn't do anything" he actually looked scared "no but you saw something didn't you?" Derek raised an eyebrow "no I didn't see anything" he lied "what was it hmm? An animal? A mountain lion?" Derek remained firm in his questioning "I didn't see anything" Jackson continued to deny Derek "I swear I'm not lying" Derek advanced on Jackson "then calm down and say it again" he continued to deny it Derek listened to the sound of his heartbeat, and he then grabbed Jacksons head by his hair and pulled it forward "what are you doing Derek?" I stepped out of the steam as he stalked away not answering my question.

I stepped into the locker room "are you ok Jackson?You look like you have seen a ghost" I smiled knowing exactly what had gone down in the room. He looked at me "why do you care" I smirked "I don't, I just want the lacrosse team to be at its peak, which means its players" I looked him up and down "need to be at their peak" I giggled and walked away "see you in class or at the conference thing later" During my English lesson I sensed Dereks anger at the hunters and I had to suppress it in order to be able to focus on the lesson at hand.

After school I dropped my bag down by the door and went upstairs and saw a note pinned on my door

change into something nice

we have a formal meeting with the boss after the parent teacher conference

love

uncle

I rolled my eyes but did as he asked by putting on a black and white horizontally striped dress, flat tan sandals and a brown waist belt I also put on my bronze twine bracelet and my pirate heart earrings. I walked to the school with my uncle and he asked me to wait outside while he talked to my teachers. As I walked around the school grounds I found my way to a bright light, which was coming from a very familiar car, Jacksons car to be exact. I saw him pick up the lacrosse ball as he tried to aim it at a target on a tree, I could sense his frustration as he continued to miss the target "hi Jackson" I walked up to him he threw his brown glass bottle at the tree "woah hey are you ok?" he fell to the ground with his hands on his head "no I'm not, no matter how hard I try I can't get it right" I shook my head "you don't need to please everybody all the time you know? Life is about learning from mistakes and its how we learn from those mistakes is how people judge us, not from being perfect, because believe me the pressure to be perfect is overwhelming but perfect is over rated, mistakes make us human" he looked at me "why do you care?" I shrugged my shoulders "just making an objective statement no need to be rude" he looked at me walking towards me he reached out and held my face in one hand "you know I don't understand you" I scoffed "is it so hard to let people in" wow I am a huge hypocrite now "you have no idea" I looked at him and pulled away "nope none at all I just have a dead mum an absent father a dead sister and a family apart from my uncle a family who couldn't give a shit about me, but yes I have no idea what its like to feel alone, because you and only you are allowed to feel alone.."

He cut me off by capturing my lips with his, I stood there shocked at first but I began to lose myself and I put my arms around his neck and the back of his head pulling him closer to me. I came to my sense after a minute and pulled away "you shouldn't have done that, you have a girlfriend and its not me" he looked down and rubbed the back of his neck "yeah that's what I thought"

I walked away towards the front entrance of the school where I saw my uncle talking to Scotts mom. I saw them walk up to Alisons parents. I walked up to them "hey uncle you ready to go" I looked towards the Argents "oh hi you must be Alisons parents its really nice to meet you I'm Meridithe a friend of Alisons" her mother smiled at me "its nice to meet you too, if you will excuse us we have to go speak to our daughter" I nodded my head "of course don't let me keep you, it was nice to meet you"

I saw a mountain about half a mile away and coerced it to come forward and towards me, I screamed creating a diversion, people started rushing around, after a moment the sheriff was hit by a car and I rushed towards him "are you ok?" he nodded "I'm fine" he pulled out his gun but I saw Mr Argent shoot the animal, I closed my eyes when I saw the animal on the floor.

My uncle pulled me away and back towards the house, he pushed my into the car "that was a good diversion but was it really necessary" he looked at me seemingly not angry, but it could be a façade "the alpha was there so I had to draw attention away from him so we could focus on killing him not some mountain lion who people claim to be attacking people" he nodded "the boss isn't going to be impressed that we haven't got anything" I nodded knowing that he wouldn't be very impressed just like last time, and the punishment would be the same
