Braeden woke up in Derek's arms. He looked so much happier in his sleep. She slowly got out of his grip and started to get dressed. 'He looks so peaceful', she thought as she looked at him, again.

….

Derek woke up to Braeden telling him that Scott and the others were on their way. He got up and kissed her.

"You better get dressed." She said. "They'll be here any minute."

He kissed her passionately, before getting dressed. She was making pancakes. He walked up behind her and put his arms around her, kissing her on the cheek.

…

"I think you should take this more seriously." Scott was saying to Stiles.

"Whatever! Just…Knock on the..door."

…

He let go of her and went to get the door.

Stiles walked in, smelling the air. "Mmm…Pancakes.."

Scott just laughed and looked over to the kitchen, where Braeden was making breakfast.

"She said that I had no food and made pancakes," Derek said, having a feeling that he was about to ask why she was cooking in his house.

Kira, Lydia, and Malia showed up, shortly after.

"STILES!" Malia leaped into his arms, almost making him drop her on the floor.

"Hello to you too." He joked. She kissed him on the lips and Scott took Kira's hand, sitting on the couch.

When Lydia walked in, Scott could smell sadness and he noticed Lydia's makeup was heavy under her eyes. He ignored it, thinking if she needed to talk, she would say something.

.…..

They all ate breakfast and Stiles looked at Malia and she started kissing him at the table.

"Jeez! What got into you, today?" He asked, out of breath.

"I am just happy….and I missed you."

"Aww!" Kira was watching them.

"Shut up." Malia said, only half joking.

….

Braeden looked at Stiles and Malia, happily. She gave Derek a soft smile. Kira gripped Scott's hand and he gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Lydia was deep in thought. She suddenly looked sad, depressed even. She snapped out of it and looked at Scott.

"What did we come here to do?"

"Oh. Yeah. The money."

"What?" Derek asked.

"The money. It is at my house. Some of it, anyway."

"How did it get there?" Braeden spoke up.

"I don't know. It was just..I found it."

"Back to the list!" Lydia reminded them.

"Oh, right…that."

"Derek, your name isn't on the list anymore, either."

"What?!" Braeden and Derek both yelled at the same time.

Derek gave her a look.

"I..I..mean….I am surprised..about..the names that keep disappearing."

"Yeah. Derek, your name isn't on the list. I think you and Lydia are in danger." Scott said, concerned.

"Tell me if any other names disappear off the list." Derek says.

"Of course! Why wouldn't I?!"

"I'm just saying…"

Malia suddenly jumped up from her seat and screamed. Everyone turned around to see her.

"..What? There was a spider." She explained.

"Really?" Derek said. "A spider?"

"Just because I used to live out in the woods, doesn't mean that I can't scream when I see a spider! I am a girl!"

Stiles and Scott started laughing. Kira tried to hide her smile. Malia didn't understand why this was so shocking. I mean, sure, she lived out in the woods for most of her life. And she was a coyote, but she was a human, again. She was a girl.

"I'm sorry." Stiles said, after she gave him a look that said 'Stop it now or I will kill you'.

Derek almost laughed, himself.

Braeden was laughing with Scott and Stiles.

Stiles walked over and killed the spider with his shoe.

"There. Better?"

She kissed him on the cheek.

"What's with all the PDA?" Peter asked as he walked through the door.

Malia immediately tensed up. Stiles put on arm around her and sat her down on the couch. Kira looked at him and quickly looked away, when he looked at her in an angry and mean way. When this happened, Scott stood in front of Kira. Braeden reached and made sure that she had her gun, just in case.

Derek looked at Peter. "Get out! NOW!"

"I see someone is in a bad mood, today."

"Get out, Peter!"

"Look, I came to tell you something important, but if you want me to leave…"

"Wait!"

"I see…Somebody wants me when I have information.."

"Oh stop! Just tell me what it is." Derek says, impatiently.

"I know where Kate is!"

"Where is she?"

"In Beacon Hills."

"..uh…Yeah, but where in Beacon Hills."

"The hotel downtown, at least that is where she is until next Thursday."

"That long? Why?"

"She is hurt. Weak, but still very dangerous."

…..

When Peter left, everyone seemed to relax a little. Then, it sank in that Kate could be found, and soon.

"Okay! Not to rush into things…but, when are we going after her?" Stiles asks.

"Yeah." Braeden adds.

"We need a plan," Derek says. "She's still dangerous."

"I think we should wait a while, but not long. As soon as she finds out we know where she is, she will run." Scott says.

Braeden walks up behind Derek and says "I can teach you to shoot."

"Who?" Stiles asks. "All of us?"

"I don't see why not."

"Stiles…?….With a gun?" Derek chuckled.

She gave him a look and that shut him up.

"Meet me at noon. For now, I think we should all go home."

"Yeah…" Scott agreed.

"I don't think me having a gun is the best idea.." Stiles said as they were walking out the door.

They all laughed. Braeden walked out the door and looked back at Derek. She winked. He smiled.

…

When they all left, Derek heard a knock on the door. He went to go answer it. When he was pulled into a kiss.

Braeden.

"Wha…?"

She kissed him on the cheek and walked away.

A smile spread across his face. Peter walked in.

"Why are you so happy?" He asked coldly.

"It's nothing. Nothing."

...

So there was another chapter. What did you think? More to come!
