I only own my OC's and plot.

"Can't I just be alone?"

"No…I know that's what you want right now, but it isn't safe. Not with Derek running around. Not after everything that's happened."

"GAHHH!" I say, and stomp away.

"Come on, Ashley." Aiden said, following me.

"What?"

"Scott wants us here…watching you. Don't you trust us?"

"Its not that I don't trust you…I just want to be alone. That's all." I say to all of them.

"Its for Scott…not us."

"Scott is laying in a hospital bed…not healing…after being hit by a car. All because of me. That isn't fair. If I hadn't kicked him out of the car or…or even just not have been so angry…he would be fine."

"Ashley, he's going to be fine."

"It still doesn't stop the guilt, Ethan." I said. There was a knock at the door. I started walking over to answer it, but Isaac stopped me. He started walking to the door. I looked at the clock; it was 4 a.m. Isaac opens the door.

"Where's Ash?" Ariel said, pushing past Isaac. Aly follows.

"Hey." Aly said.

"I thought you guys went home?"

"We did…but Ariel called me. We couldn't sleep so we figured we would stay with you."

"Yeah. We went to the hospital and they said you were home."

"Oh. Okay."

"How's Scott?" Ariel said, looking at Isaac.

"He's awake…"

"Oh that's great."

"Yeah. But he still isn't healing like he should be."

"Oh…"

"Problem is…the slower he heals, the more vulnerable both him and Ashley are to Derek."

"So what do we do?" Aly said, butting into Isaac and Ariel's conversation.

"Nothing we can do."

"Uh…hello? I'm standing right here…"

"We need to get out of here." Stiles said, coming in to join everyone.

"Stiles?"

"No, I'm a freaking Ugitsune. Yes, I'm Stiles."

"No need for sarcasm, here."

"We need to get her out of here." Stiles said pointing to me.

"I'm not going anywhere with you."

"Look, Ashley. I know we aren't exactly best friends but I need you to trust me. I know more right now than you'll ever know about this entire thing."

"I don't care. I'm not going anywhere. Not without Scott."

"Ashley, I'm doing this for Scott. I will protect you. I will not let anything harm you or even get near you."

"Fine. Where are we going?"

"Just out of town."

"Oh yeah that's real helpful."

"Ashley, go." Isaac said, serious. I look at everyone. Isaac, Ethan, and Aiden are looking fine. Ariel looked confused, and Aly looked mad.

"We'll be right behind you." Aiden said.

"Aly, what's wrong?" I say, looking at her.

"You're like a sister to me, Ashley. But with everything going on, I do not approve of you going alone with Stiles. Not in the emotional state you're in."

"Aly, nothing will happen. I'm just doing what Scott told me to do. I'm doing it for him. I will protect her, not sleep with her."

"I'm coming."

"No, you're not. It's too dangerous. I won't put you at risk, too."

"Stiles, I'm fine. I'm not the one who's being hunted."

"You're staying." Stiles said, grabbing me by the arm and walking out of the house. We get into the car and start to head out of town.
