After our run we went to the locker rooms and took quick showers. I did not have time to do my hair so I pulled it back into a tight pony tail. I then put on a different black sports bra then the one I was wearing this morning. I pulled on over it a white crop top. And then pulled on my favorite pair of black jeans. I had brought heals with me but my feet where killing me from the run so I just shoved them back in my bag and put my sneakers back on..

I heard the bell ring for the start of the school day and I knew I was going to be late but I did not care. So what if I was a little late. As I walked down the hall I started to get this weird feeling in my gut. I did not know how to explain it or what it was but as I walked down the hall the feeling got more intense.

That was until I turned the corner and saw Malia talking to Derek and the feeling seemed to completely disappear.

"This is Brett's." Derek said to Malia as he threw a sweater at her. "Breath it in." He told her.

"I'm not good at it." She responded.

"Try it. Ill teach you." He said and she listened and sniffed the sweater.

"Focus on the different sent." He said.

"Got it." Malia responded happily.

"Great let's go." Derek told her.

"I'm coming to." I said as I made my way over to them.

"Like hell you are." Derek answered me.

"Yes I am and nothing you say is going to stop me. These are my friends. My family." I told him.

"Scott would not want you involved." He answered me.

"Scotts not the only family I got. Right cousin." I said to Malia.

"What?" Derek asked confused.

"I say we let her come." Malia said to Derek.

"It's too dangerous." He replied. "This is not some bonding exercise."

"I can help." I told him.

"How?" Derek asked me.

"From what I understand most of these assassins are not supernatural. I can fight." I told him.

"She can. I have seen her." Malia said standing up for me.

"Fine but if she dies your explaining it to Scott." Derek said to Malia before walking off.

When we reached Derek's car I climbed in the back and Malia jumped up front with Derek. We sat in silence for a while but it was just too much. I had to say something.

"So Derek you knew my family?" I asked him.

"Why would you ask that?" He responded as he looked at me through the mirror.

"Because I want to know." I responded to him.

"Yeah I knew them. How did you find that out?" He asked me.

"The Sheriff gave me my family's files. When they investigated there disappearance they pulled up a lot of history. Like the fact that you moved here with them from Salem and that you guys founded the town." I told him.

"You got all that from a file?" He asked me.

"Yes I did." I answered him.

"Is there a point to your question?" He asked me.

"I have a lot of questions. My first would have to be did we know?" I asked him.

"Know what?"

"Did we know about all this?" I asked him as I pointed from him to Malia.

He looked away from me and back to the road. He seemed to be thinking over his answer.

"Yeah, you knew. You all knew." He responded to me.

"Great. That's just great." I said to him.

I had no idea what to make out of any of this. I could not even begin to think of what my life was like before. My entire family hanging out with his. Knowing what they were. I could not help but wonder what kind of people we must have been. What kind of people don't care that their closets friends are a bunch of monsters.

"So why don't you tell me about Satomi?" I asked him.

"She's there Alpha. She is one of the oldest werewolves alive. And she's learned a lot.

"What does that mean?" Malia asked him.

"She's a bitten werewolf learning controlee wasn't easy for her. She did something a long time ago that got her into some trouble. The quote is a mantra. To learn control." He told her.

I listened to what he said and all I could think about was Scott. If what he was saying is true then Scott must have had a hard time. Scott was a bitten werewolf. I wondered how it was for him in the beginning. He seemed to be in control from what I could see.

I had not even realized that we had got out of the car and started walking. I was so in my head that I had no idea what was going on around me. I almost walked rite into Malias back when she stopped walking.

"What is it?" I asked him.

"I'm better." Was Malias response leaving me confused as hell.

She pointed to the ground. Derek walked over to the spot she pointed at and picked something up.

I took a step forward and realized it was a bullet.

"Well that can't be good." I said.

"If Brett's pack is out here I don't think there meeting. There hiding." Derek told us.

We looked around for a while. It seemed like we were walking in circles. That we were never going to find them. Wasn't Malia and Derek supposed to have heightened senses. After over an hour of searching we headed back to the car.

"I'm sorry." Malia said to Derek.

"It's nothing to be sorry about. If they don't want to be found. Then were not going to find them. Some werewolves have an ability a kind of mastery over the elements they can actually hide their scent." He told her trying to make her feel better.

"So they can hide from other werewolves?" She asked him.

"That's why no one knew about Brett." I said.

"Maybe we need to try something different. Maybe we need to think like Stiles." Malia said to us.

"Like a hyperactive spaz?" Derek asked confused.

"Like a detective. Instead of asking were would werewolves hide we should be asking." Malia started but Derek cute her off.

"Where would Buddhists hide?" He finished for her.

The two of them started to talk about an eastern point. I could not make out much of what they were saying.

"The lookout point." Derek said.

Finally they were talking about a place I knew. David pointed it out to me as were on our run this morning. It was pretty little clearing in the woods that looked over the entire town.

We started back towered the car in a hurry. The three of us were excited to finally have a lead. I was about to jump in the back of the car when Derek stopped me.

"You're not coming." He said to me.

"What are you talking about?" I asked him.

"If there are assassins in the woods it's not safe." He answered.

"He's right." Malia added in.

"Whose side are you on?" I asked her.

"The side of keeping you alive." She answered.

"What are you going to do drive me home then come back? That's just a waste of time." I told the two of them.

"No you're right we don't have time." Derek sad.

Malia climbed into the passenger seat as I continued to argue with Derek. Then before I even knew what happened Derek pushed me over and jumped in the car. I quickly got up and tried to open the door but it was locked.

"Open the door!" I yelled at them.

I did not get a response instead he just drove off. Leaving me behind in a cloud of smoke.

"Asshole!" I yelled after him.
