"Nothing happened"

"So you're saying you spent the whole night and this morning and nothing happened"

"That's what I'm saying" She laughs

"I don't believe you" Lydia replies finishing off applying lipstick.

She had worried about whether or not she'd actually get along with the two girls. But sitting on a bed while Allison curled her hair it felt like she'd known them her whole life.

"Listen if anything happens I'll make sure you two know first"

"You hear that? She wants something to happen" Allison jokes as Scarlett sighed knowing she was fighting a losing battle.

"I think it's two sided" Lydia smirks

"I think you two are delusional" She laughs as Lydia shakes her head.

"As I said last night I think he's just being nice" She mumbles as the two girls raised an eyebrow at her.

"You know if you had told me that yesterday I might have believed it, but then you spent the night there" Lydia smirks as Scarlett rolled her eyes.

"I think it's nice under all that frowning is a person" Allison starts as Scarlett's phone goes off beside her.

"Are you going to get that?"

She glanced at the phone to see the word STILES

"No"

Lydia and Allison glanced at each other a little nervous at her words.

"I know he went too far Scarlett, he had no right to bring up what he did but you didn't see him when you left when you wouldn't answer his call" Lydia starts as Scarlett just stares at the phone. The room went silent and the phone stopped ringing.

"He called Derek"

"He called Derek?" She asks as Allison nods her head finishing the last of her hair.

"After half an hour of looking for you"

"Derek found you really fast actually took him less than a half an hour" Lydia says now taking the curler from Alison.

"And you know how I know it's two sided?" Lydia then asks looking at Scarlett now glancing at the phone to see if it rings again. "He yelled at Stiles when he found it he was the reason you left the house… He cares about you, I've not seen that in him before"


"Have you seen Allison?" Lydia asks as she moves to the music glancing around the room.

"No?"

"She asked me to meet her near the bar nearly a half an hour ago.. okay you stay here I'll get her" Lydia smirks wandering away as she kept moving her body to the beat. Lydia and Allison had let her in on the fiasco of how her family didn't like Scott. To keep up appearances Allison was going on a 'date' her with someone from class. Dan? No maybe Ben?

She had seen a glance of Stiles earlier, he ran past a while ago giving her a quick sad smile. He looked like he wanted to stop and talk to her but chose not too. She had spoke with Sheriff stilinski, he had been the only one at home when she got back to get a change of clothes. He looked happy. His face lit up as he explained Stiles told him her and Lydia hit it off so well she went back for a girly night with her and Allison. He smiled the brightest when she said she'd be going back to hers again tonight as they had planned a movie night.

It was like she had lifted a weight off the older man's shoulders. His face seemed calmer and relieved at her words. It made her a bit upset knowing she was lying but decided he looked too happy to reveal the truth.

Well it was half the truth. She was going back to Lydia's tonight, but yesterday had been a completely different story.

She felt her chest tighten up all of a sudden. It was quick like someone had grabbed her chest and squeezed tightly. There was this smell, it was almost earthy? No it was like ash.

She felt dizzy as she made her way towards a door trying to find anywhere she get some air.

Pushing through some back doors she found herself in the night time air as she took a few breaths to calm herself down. It didn't seem to help as the scent was stronger now and seemed to make her feel heavy almost sleepy. It was then she noticed a room not far from where she was standing with a black haze on it. She felt drawn to it, as if the smoke was pulling her in she walked towards the room, the smell intensified and she swore she could hear her name being called from a distance as she put her hand handle and opened it.

There on a table was an almost passed out Scott surrounded by smoke. He could barely breathe, he was trying to speak to her as caught a glance of her as she opened the door. He looked panicked as if he was trying to tell her something but couldn't form the words.

"Scott?" She asks running to him as she tries to take a deep breath but coughs. She feels the smoke go straight to her lungs and makes it hard for her to catch her breath in the room. She found her lungs sputtering with the smoke a look of deep panic now on Scott's face, then suddenly she felt someone grab her head and shove it down onto a metal pipe.

She hissed at the pain as she felt a thump in her head that should be causing her a lot more pain but she couldn't breathe. The air was stuck in her throat like the panic attacks she took when she was younger, like the ones Stiles helped her through because he knew the feeling too.

She grabbed at her throat, tears starting to form and panic setting in.

A woman appeared over her, eyes interested in her as she scanned her body and face.

She bent down to her her hand in front of Scarlet's face. And as she went to choke a breath and blew a black dust into her face that seemed to go straight to her lungs.

"My, My what are you dear?" She asks as she turns and turns up the device that was forming more smoke in the room. She felt her legs go from under her, her eyes trying to focus on anything around her.

"See Scott, you're already a leader having people put their lives on the line for you"

Scarlett managed to lean on her arms pushing herself up, making a weak noise her breaths coming in short pants.

"She is a fighter tho, doesn't matter really it'll look like an accident for both of you-"

The door crashed open and she heaved trying to catch her breath. She started coughing her throat feeling raw as she gasped in and felt blood rise up her throat and into her mouth.

She heard a roar and lifted her head up to see Derek. Or what looked like Derek fighting the crazy bitch who had assaulted her.

He let out another roar and bit down on her shoulder. Wait

He quickly broke the machine in half before he pulled Scott barely to the exit of the room. He returned for her, his face still distorted and hair everywhere and those teeth.

As quick as a blink his face was back to normal. He carried her outside and just as she was beginning to feel fine again another rounds of coughing began as she could feel blood rise again.

"She blew mountain ash into her face" Scott barely manages to get out as she spat out blood onto the ground.

"Bring it all up come on" Derek says panicked checking her over for any other injuries noticing the bump from her head from meeting the metal pipe.

"Why is it affecting her? I thought it didn't hurt normal people" She heard Scott hurriedly ask as she felt a new wave of blood make its way up.

"It doesn't" Derek mumbles
