Ever since the dinner with Scott and her family, the night of the Bane Bullet, Haven has hardly spent any time at home. Technically she was grounded, but that didn't stop her. She needed space from her family. Yes, her sister included. She couldn't get over how Allison had kept all of this from her. Even when she straight out asked her sister if she believed in werewolves. What else was Allison lying to her about? What were they all lying to her about? She didn't have an answer for that but she was determined to find out.

Haven put her bag over her shoulder, crossing it across her chest, and headed for her window. She was halfway out to the roof when Kate appeared in her doorway. "Going somewhere Mini Me?"

With a sigh, Haven stuck her head back in her room and said, "Yeah. You going to try and stop me?"

"No." Kate walked into the room with her arms crossed, "But I would like to know what's going on with you. Is this really all about being pissed at us for getting on your boyfriend's case?"

"I hate that word. There's gotta be something better than that" Haven muttered to herself before sighing again. "I am pissed about a lot of things and to top it all of I'm sick of being pushed aside while Alli is on the pedestal. I've had it and finally I'm doing something about it."

"You've always been the rebellious one, Haven, but never when it came to your family. Just talk to me. What's really going on because I don't buy the whole twin drama. It's never been an issue before." Kate sat down on Haven's bed and waited her for her niece's reply.

Looking right at Kate, she said, "It's always been an issue, Kate. I've just gotten tired of accepting it." Without another word, Haven climbed out of the window the rest of the way and with a little flip jump off the roof, she landed feet first on the ground. After adjusting her bag, she looked up and saw Kate leaning out the window. No words were exchanged between them but Haven felt a pang in her chest. They used to be so close, almost as close as she was with Allison, but now every time she looked at anyone in her family...all she felt was betrayal.

Haven grabbed her bike and started off down the street to meet up with Scott. They made plans with a reluctant Derek for a crash course in all things Werewolf. Although to be technical it was a crash course on all things Werewolf where Hunters were concerned. Haven managed to convince Derek that she was an ally and not an enemy. Sure, she doubted he actually bought it and figured he only agreed for a 'keep your friends close and enemies closer' kind of deal.

Haven was halfway to the McCall house when she got a text from Scott telling her to meet them at the back of video store. She thought the change of venue was a weird one but didn't question it. When she arrived, there were an ambulance and cops cars out front. Because of the situation up front, Haven took the long way around to get to the back. She dropped her bike to the ground and went over to Scott who was waiting for her back there, "What happened?" She asked, referring to the scene up front.

"We'll explain. I'll give you a ride up." Scott replied and gestured for her to climb onto his back.

Haven shrugged and got aboard. "If you call me your little spider monkey I'll kill you."

"I have no idea why I would, but okay." Scott replied with laughter because he didn't get her Twilight reference. Once he was sure she was holding on tight, he jumped onto the dumpster before making a leap to the edge of the video store's roof and climbed over.

Haven slid off his back once they were safely on top of the building with an 'that was awesome' look on her face as the pair crossed the building to see Derek who was looking at what was going on below. "What happened?" she asked again, crouching down. She could see Stiles and his dad, along with Lydia and Jackson sitting at the back of an ambulance.

"The Alpha attacked. Killed a man inside. The store employee." Derek gave the briefest of cliff-notes ever and that annoyed Haven to no end. Going back to their previous conversation, he looked at Scott and asked, "Starting to get it?"

Scott crouched down next to Haven and answered, "I get that he's killing people, but I don't get why. I mean...this isn't standard practice, right?"

"I hope all Wolfmen don't go out in the middle of the night to kill people." Haven added in even though she knew she wasn't meant for this conversation.

"The term is werewolves. Not Wolfmen." Derek found her choice of what to call them irking. "And no, we're predators. We don't have to be killers."

"Then why is he a killer?" Scott didn't understand why the Alpha was killing people when it wasn't necessary.

"That's what we're going to find out." Derek looked at both Scott and Haven when he said that before turning around to take leave.

The teens looked at each other for a moment before getting to their feet and following after him.

Derek refused to put Haven's bike in the trunk of his car and Scott wasn't going to let her ride out to the Hale House at night, so Haven ended up using her bike chain to lock it around a tree near the video store. She hated just leaving it there but it was better than the Wolves getting into a fight about something as trivial as a bicycle.

The ride to Derek's house was quiet, tense. Haven had the feeling that there was something discussed between the guys before she arrived. It was just the looks Scott kept shooting at Derek in the front that gave her this feeling. Like he wanted to say something but didn't want to start it in the car. She just hoped it wasn't something too bad so she wouldn't have to break up a fight when they got to their destination.

Her suspicions were right. As soon as they walked into the house, Scott started talking to...well, more like shouting at Derek.

"I have a life, you know!" Scott knew that Haven wouldn't know what this was in reference to, but he couldn't keep it in any longer.

"No you don't." Derek was sarcastic with his reply.

"I don't care what you say about him making me his pet or whatever!" Scott couldn't remember the exact terminology and that fueled his shouting a bit.

Derek was calm when he corrected, "A part of his pack."

Scott threw his hands out to his sides, "Whatever! I have homework to do and I have a teacher conference tomorrow because I'm failing chemistry."

"Scott, calm down. Homework seems kinda unimportant compared to being a werewolf with an Alpha on the loose." Honestly, Haven would much rather be dealing with all this supernatural stuff than doing school work.

"Listen to your girlfriend, Scott." Derek couldn't believe it, but he was actually agreeing with the Argent. "Would you rather being doing homework or learning how to not die?"

Scott was getting frustrated about this whole thing.

"Scott, you have less than a week until the full moon. If you don't kill with him then he kills you." Derek couldn't make it any clearer.

Haven ran her hand through her hair, "Seriously, dude, who made up these rules?"

Scott pointed at Haven in a 'what she said' manner because he was just thinking the same thing.

"It's the rite of passage into his pack." Derek was staring to lose his patience with them.

"You know what else is a rite of passage?" Scott retorted, "Graduating high school. And you don't have to kill anyone to do it! Why can't you just find him yourself? Why can't you just sniff him out when he's a human? Why do you have to drag us into it?"

"Because his scent as a human could be entirely different. It has to be you. You have a connection with him, a link, that you don't understand. If I can teach you to control your abilities then you can find him." Derek was about to continue when it clicked that Scott had asked why both he and Haven had to be dragged into this, and wasn't just referring to himself. With a scoff, he said, "I get it. You're being difficult because you don't want your girlfriend involved in all this. You think if you don't help that she won't be a part of it. Guess what, Scott. She was born into this. At least this way she's on the right side."

Haven let out a breath, putting her hands on her hips, "Do me a favor and don't talk about me like I'm not even here. I hate that. And..." Haven turned to face Scott, "If that's really what this is all about, don't worry about me."

"How can I not worry about you?!" Scott retorted rather emotionally, "You're dating a werewolf while living in a house filled with werewolf hunters that happen to be your family. What do you think they'll do to you when they find out that you knew but did nothing? What if the Alpha bites you too or worse, kills you? You really think I'm not going to worry about all this?"

Haven went over to him and put her hands on his shoulders, looking in square in the eyes. "Scott. You are going to drive yourself crazy if you worry about me as well as yourself. So stop, okay? Just stop. I have your back in all this just like I know you have mine but that's useless if we're both constantly worrying about the other."

Scott took a deep breath and nodded in an 'okay' manner before looking at Derek after Haven took her hands away from his shoulders, "If I help you find him...you can stop him?"

"Not alone. We're stronger in numbers." Derek replied, thinking 'finally he's getting his head on straight', then added, "A pack makes the individual more stronger."

"I have no idea what I'm doing." Scott admitted, looking from Derek to Haven.

"That's why I'm going to teach you." Derek replied. "Do you remember what happened that first night when you got shot in the arm? Right after you were hit?"

Scott nodded, remembering, "I changed back."

"Mhm. And when you were hit by his car, same thing right?" Derek asked and looked at Haven when she gasped and pointed at Scott.

"I knew I saw you, but not you!" Haven exclaimed. Now things made full circle sense.

Derek ignored her and went back to questioning Scott, "What's the common denominator?"

Scott thought for a moment and shook his head, shrugging, because he didn't know the answer.

Derek didn't have time to baby step Scott through this so he grabbed Scott's hand and twisted it, cracking the bones. Scott cried out in pain and Haven reacted.

She pulled a blade from her boot and held it to Derek's neck, "Let. Him. Go."

Derek flashed his blue eyes at Haven before releasing his grip from Scott, "It'll heal." He backed away from the two lovebirds as he said, "Pain. It's pain that keeps you human."

Haven crouched down next to Scott and watched as his hand healed before their eyes. She looked at Scott then to Derek who waved his hand out in front of him and said, "Maybe you will survive."

Scott looked at Derek angrily as he walked away then looked at Haven with curiosity, "Where'd you get the knife?"

"I told you I was a knife girl." Haven answered, slipping the blade back into her boot.

"No whip?" Scott chuckled, getting to his feet, still holding onto his hand as it finished healing.

"It's in my bag." Haven patted said item with a grin. "Want to see how it works?" She led Scott outside as he asked her, "How did you get into whips anyway?"

"Ribbon dancing." Haven replied taking her bag off and setting it down beside her.

"I'm serious." Scott didn't believe that's how she got into her weapon of choice.

"So am I." Haven pulled out a handle and two attachments. Holding the red ribbon up she said, "This is for ribbon dancing. And this..." She held up a leather whip, "This is for fighting. I wasn't kidding when I said ribbon dancing got me into whips." She smiled over at Scott as he watched her attach the leather whip to the handle. "Still think I'm scary?" After receiving a nod from Scott in reply, she laughed.

Once the whip was in one piece she swung it around, cracked it twice in the air, then had a little fun. Haven took a couple steps forward, spun around with the whip then cracked it up at a tree branch. The smaller branch made an explosive sound as the whip made contact and broke into pieces as a result. With a smirk on her face, she turned around and saw Scott standing there with jaw dropped.

Haven didn't want to admit it, but she was blushing a little, "Better close your mouth McCall before you start catching flies."

Scott jokingly used his hand to close his mouth and looked at Haven in awe, "I am never making fun of ribbon dancing again."

Haven picked up her bag from the ground and patted Scott's arm with a grin, "Smart man."

The next morning, Haven was getting ready for school as quickly as possible. A part of her wanted to just stay out all night, but thought that'd be too drastic and besides, she didn't have another place to crash. Spending the night with Scott was not gonna happen and she wasn't close enough friends with Stiles yet to ask, and since she didn't have any other friends at the moment...yeah her choices were limited.

Haven was just about to make it out of her room when Kate came in. "I smoothed things over with your dad. He gets that you're going through stuff and is going to give you space to vent. For now." Kate walked closer and said, "Look, Haven, I'm sorry for how I acted that night. I was being a protective, hard, bitch." She pulled a box out from behind her back and held it out to Haven, "I hope by giving you your birthday present now that you'll forgive me."

Haven narrowed her eyes at Kate a little and didn't answer. She took the box from Kate and opened it. Inside was a pendant with a wolf and arrows on it. A symbol that matched the one on her book almost exactly. With wonder in her eyes, she pulled it out to get a better look at it.

"It's a family heirloom. Meaning...Allison doesn't have one. This one's just for you, kiddo." Kate smiled, hoping that would add more incentive for Haven to forgive her. "So...forgiven?"

Haven held the pendant in her hand and nodded, "Forgiven." Of course that was a downright lie, but this pendant meant something. It meant answers. If pretending to play nice with Kate would get her more of them, then she was going to play along. To make it more convincing Haven smiled and gave Kate a hug, "I love it. Thank you."

Kate hugged her niece in return then said, "Hey, you see the symbol in the middle there? If you ever want to learn more about your family...you should look it up."

Haven put on her most curious expression possible with a smile. "I am most intrigued."

Kate hip bumped her niece a little, "I thought you might."

"You're going to make me work for it, aren't you?" Haven asked and her aunt grinned.

Kate took the pendant from Haven's hands and put it around her head, "Some mysteries are worth figuring out on your own."

Haven smiled again, then said, "I better get to school."

"See you later, Mini Me." Kate winked at her niece as she backed out of the room. Seeing Allison in the hall, she gave her other niece a wink with a whole new meaning. Allison's plan to let Haven in on the family secret had just taken off.

Haven was still in her room when this occurred, so she missed it. She was too busy getting the book of lore that she bought from that old store a bit back. Haven just had to make sure that the symbols were the same and they were. After slipping the book in her bag she headed out into the hall.

Allison and and her sister just about collided into one another. "Hey." Allison adjusted her bag, "How's it going?"

"Fine." Haven replied, adjusting her own bag. "Look, Alli...I'm sorry. It's just been..." Haven figured she might as well make as many patches as she could since Kate was hinting towards the family secret. The better terms she was on with people the more likely she was to learn what they knew.

Allison held up her hands, "Say no more. You're going through something and I need to be respectful of that. Just know I'm always here for you sis. No matter what."

Haven smiled, "I know. And hey, Happy Birthday."

Allison returned her sister's smile, "Happy Birthday to you too."

Gesturing to the stairs Haven said, "I better get going, I'm going to walk to school." On that note, she headed down the stairs.

Her plan of walking was cut short when a set of car keys was thrown towards her by her father. Haven caught them easily enough then asked, "What's this?"

"Your mother and I talked. If you're not going to abide by curfew then we don't want you riding around town on your bike. If you swear you'll be careful this time, it's yours." Chris opened the front door to reveal the black Ford Escape in the driveway. "Happy early birthday."

Haven's eyes went wide and her jaw dropped a bit. Much like Scott's had the night before. "Are you kidding me?"

"No." Chris replied. "You were right, Haven. There have been a lot of times when you've been put on the back burner and that's not right. This car isn't a bribe, just for the record. We just want you to know that we love you and we trust you. Happy Birthday."

Haven had to remind herself why she was angry with her family in that moment. If for a second she had forgotten, she might not have been so quick to get her head back on track. Hiding her anger and betrayal, while suppressing the feelings she got from his words and the gift, she said, "I love you too dad. Thanks." She gave her father a kiss on the cheek before using the remote to unlock her car and made her way to it.

"Not a bribe my ass." Kate spoke as she walked over to Chris.

"Oh be quiet." Chris replied, closing the door but he waited until Haven had driven off before closing it completely.

At school Haven went straight to her locker and jumped when balloons shot out of it. "Allison." She pressed her head against her locker and tried to return the helium filled orbs back inside. Haven finally gave up and just let then soar out as she read the card that was there as well. "Happy Birthday Twinsie!" She read aloud and rolled her eyes. Of course Haven had something for Allison for their birthday, but that was bought long before the revelation. Something Haven made sure that was already stuck in Allison's locker, just because.

"It's your birthday?" Haven heard Scott ask as he approached.

"Yep." She replied, closing the locker door.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Scott further inquired.

"Besides the fact that I'm seventeen? There's been a lot going on." Haven saw the look on Scott's face when she said that and rolled her eyes at it. "That's the face I was trying to avoid."

Scott quickly wiped that look off his face. "I didn't know but I get it. You had to repeat a year from moving around so much, right?"

Haven smiled and gave him a kiss, "Thank you so much for coming to the correct conclusion. If one more person asked me if I had a baby and that's why I had to repeat, I just might have punched someone."

"People really ask you that on your birthday?" Scott hated that she heard that on her birthday.

"All day." Haven ran her hand through her hair with a sigh. What Scott said next actually surprised her.

"How about we get out of here? The whole day." Scott wanted to give her a birthday that she'd enjoy.

Haven grinned from ear to ear like the Cheshire Cat, "You want to skip class? The whole day?" She bit her lip with a smile, nudging him, "I do declare McCall, I think I'm rubbing off on you." The pair shared a laugh before taking each other's hand and going out the doors.

"Oh!" Haven exclaimed once they were outside, "We can take my new car." She wiggled her keys and led the way.

"Since when do you have a car?" Scott asked with a 'holy shit' tone.

"Since this morning. My dad said it's not a bribe, but it totally is." Haven got in the car quickly with Scott getting in the passenger seat beside her. "Oh and that's not the only thing. I think Kate believes it's time for me to be let in on the family secret." After receiving a questioning look from Scott, she said, "I'll fill you in on the way...which leads me to..where are we going?"

"I'll direct. You talk." Scott replied, smiling.

Haven laughed, "Alrighty." and pulled out of the parking lot.

On the drive to wherever it was they were going, Scott got a call from Stiles. "Putting you on speaker." Scott informed him.

"What? Why am I being put on speaker? I hate being put on speaker because I never know who's listening and that means I have to watch what I say and I suck at doing that!" Stiles' voice was coming out from the phone a mile a minute.

"Stilinski, chill. It's just me and Scott. What's going on?" Haven spoke as she drove, doing her best not to laugh at Scott's hyperactive spazz of a friend.

"What's going on? Lydia is MIA, Jackson looks like he has a time bomb attached to his face, another random person has been killed and you need to do something about it!" Once again, Stiles' voice was fast paced to the point where Haven almost didn't catch it all.

"Okay, Stiles, jeeze, I'll deal with it later." Scott replied before ending the phone call. When their turn came up, Scott called out "Left! Left, left, left!"

Haven quickly turned onto the road and shot out her hand to hold Scott against the seat. It took her a moment to realize what she had done. "Oh, wow. I'm sorry about that. I totally went all soccer mom on you."

Scott chuckled, "No worries. I'll just pick up my masculinity on the way back."

Haven pressed her lips together as she smiled, trying to hold back her laughter but her eyes were beaming with it.

Scott waved his hand and said, "Go ahead before you break something."

She couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing until she pulled over where directed. They walked on a path for a bit before she said, "I'm sorry for laughing at you. I don't really have a filter for my sense of humor, I guess."

"Don't apologize for that. It's one of the things I like about you." Scott stopped walking, causing Haven to as well. "It still boggles my mind that you like me at all."

"I feel the same way. And by that I mean it boggles my mind that you like me at all." In all honesty, she couldn't wrap her mind around it. "I'm glad you do though." She took a step forward and brought her lips to his. This kiss was different than the others they had shared, somehow. It just felt like it meant...more. When their lips parted, they both smiled at each other.

"Come on." Scott took her hand in his and led the way. Haven had already given him the gist of what happened that morning with Kate, the pendant matching the book, and the hinting. He didn't want to get into it right then because he just wanted them to enjoy the day.

They resumed their hike and while climbing up some rocks, Haven lost her footing and slipped. Scott was quick to catch onto her and bring her up with him to solid footing. Haven held onto his arm and laughed, "I think you got your masculinity back."

Scott smiled and moved some hair out of her face before kissing her softly again. When their lips parted, he smirked, "It wounded your pride a little, huh?"

"Oh shut up." Haven replied, playfully pushing his shoulder a bit before getting back to their hike.

When they reached a stream Haven got a wicked idea. In the middle of their attempt to cross it over the rocks...she tripped him.

Scott waved his arms to try and keep his balance but ended up falling backwards in the shallow water. Haven couldn't contain her laughter even through all her 'I'm sorries'.

Scott gave her a 'haha' look and held out his hand, "The least you can do is help me up."

She took a deep breath then took his hand in hers. Haven really should have seen this coming because instead of getting up out of the water, Scott pulled her down right next to him. A loud gasp escaped her lips as she splashed in the water and this time it was Scott who had uncontrollable laughter.

After a bit of a splashing match and a kiss to make up they continued on their way. This forest was so beautiful and serene. And when they reached a bridge, Haven stopped halfway through and looked around with a relaxed smile upon her face. She hadn't felt this at peace in such a long time.

The conversation they had on that bridge were ones to remember. They talked about so much in their time together. Everything ranging from family, to school, and things in between. Haven hadn't opened herself to anyone like this before, but even so...she felt like there was someone else she talked to like this but couldn't remember who it was.

That feeling brought Haven to confessing that she had no idea how she got to the Hale House that night she found out about the werewolves. They figured it had to be some sort of weird sleepwalking, and while Haven did agree, she couldn't help but feel like it was something more.

When it was time to continue on, Haven hopped on Scott's back and smiled.

"Spider monkey." He teased and Haven gasped.

"I warned you!" She exclaimed and started giving him a nuggie before tickling his ribs. The tickling brought Scott to his knees and Haven down along with him. They laughed loudly as they laid on the ground next to each other. "I haven't laughed this much in so long." Haven admitted with a smile on her face that just wouldn't go away.

"Me neither." Scott smiled at her as well. "So, a happy birthday?"

"Definitely." Haven gave Scott a quick peck on the cheek before rising to her feet with Scott right behind her.

By the time they got back to the car it was dark out and getting cold. Haven started up the car and said, "We're going to be in so much trouble but it's so worth it." Haven froze a little, metaphorically speaking, when she used the word trouble in a sentence. She couldn't shake the feeling that it just meant something...more.

"Hey. Are you okay?" Scott sensed a change in her, but couldn't place what it was.

Haven was pulled out of her little trance by his words. "Yeah, sorry. I don't know what that was about." She shook her head a little.

"You're lying." Scott replied, "I can hear it in your heartbeat."

She slouched in her seat a little, "I...I just feel like that word, trouble, has a different meaning for me or something. I don't know. It's like dejavu...but not...I don't know how to explain it." She looked over at Scott and joked, "Congrats. You're dating a crazy person."

Scott grinned from ear to ear as he leaned closer to her, "I like crazy." After whispering those words, he kissed her softly.

"Good." Haven replied with a smirk and kissed him once more before putting the car into gear. When she saw the time, her eyes went wide, "Uh...Scott...aren't you supposed to be at the teacher conferences tonight?"

Scott looked at the clock and fell back into his seat, "Yes. Crap!"

"Don't worry. I'll get you there." Haven smirked and pulled onto the dirt road with a bit more speed than she should have.

Scott gripped onto the car in any place he could as she sped down the road through the trees. "Uh...Haven...maybe you should slow down a little?"

"Where's the fun in that?" Haven asked with a wiggle to her eyebrows and put her foot on the gas just a little bit more. This wouldn't be her first time driving like this. After all, it wasn't normal circumstances where she totaled her first car.

"You're trying to kill me...I'm going to die...I'm sorry for calling you a spider monkey!" Scott exclaimed as Haven screeched onto the main road.

Haven shook her head and slowed down a bit, but still more than the speed limit. "Better?"

"I think my heart went into my throat and went back down to my chest." Scott was a bit dramatic with his reply.

She looked at him teasingly, "Don't worry, you'll heal."

Haven pulled into the parking lot far later than she had planned, but they would have gotten there quicker if Scott would have let her break more traffic laws. Something she pointed out before their arrival. As soon as the car stopped the teens saw their parents all talking together. "We're dead."

"Don't blame it on the spider monkey." Scott tried to make light of the situation, but yeah, it wasn't working.

"Can we just drive off until the sun rises?" Haven was willing to do anything to avoid the impending conversations.

"I wish." Scott replied and with a deep breath, they exited the car.

"You're mom looks scary. I mean that in the best way." Haven commented as Melissa McCall stormed over to them with Haven's own parents right behind.

Melissa took Scott aside to talk with him and Chris looked beyond pissed at her. "I tell you that we trust you, give you a car for your birthday, and this is how you repay us? By skipping school all day and turning off your phone?"

Their scoldings were cut short when everyone in the parking lot started screaming and running to their cars. Haven looked at Scott in question, but he didn't have an answer so they walked away together to try and see what the hell had everyone scrambling around in fear.

Haven pulled her blade from her boot and slid it up her sleeve before splitting up from Scott to see if she could get a better view of whatever it was that was running around. She was so focused on finding the thing that she didn't even realize that a car was coming towards her until she heard Scott cry out, "Haven!" The next thing she knew, Scott had pushed her out of the way of the car.

"Are you okay?" Scott looked her over to make sure she wasn't injured anywhere.

Haven nodded with a grateful smile, "Thanks to you, Superman." They pressed their foreheads together and closed their eyes, thankful that they were together and alright. When Haven saw her mom rushing over, she quickly took the blade from her sleeve and put it back in her boot.

"Haven? Are you alright?" Victoria was so worried for her daughter's well being.

"I'm fine, mom." Haven replied, "Thanks to Scott."

Victoria held her daughter close and said a quick "Thank you" to Scott for saving her daughter. She released Haven from her grasp and started looking around for Chris.

When gunshots rang out through the parking lot, Scott stood in front of Haven protectively. It took a few moments to realize that it was Haven's father who had fired the shots. "What did he shoot?" Haven whispered.

"I have no idea." He replied and took her hand so they could see what it was together.

Everyone else in the parking lot wanted to see it too. It wasn't what Haven expected it to be. She thought it was the Alpha but it was just...a mountain lion. Haven held onto Scott's arm and looked at him in silent conversation.

Scott was thinking the same thing that she was and his face said it. They both looked at Chris who faced them in return. Nothing was spoken during this silent exchanged and yet so much was suspected. And deep down...Haven knew she was right.

End Episode 5
