I was trying to sleep, I heard footsteps,

" God damn it" I mumbled as I clung to my bodypillow with a interesting character,

" You seriously need to stop doing that." Scott said as I got out of my bed and looked for a potion to help me sleep, I opened some boxes till I found it,

" So what happened? Did he talk to you?" Derek's voice entered my ears, I put the bottle down,

" Yeah. We had a nice conversation about the weather. No, he didn't talk." Scott exclaimed, oh he is so a newbie wolf, only one full moon under his belt,

" Well, did you get anything off of him? An impression." Derek said as I can tell he was getting frustrated.

" What do you mean?" Scott asked in confusion, I heard someone get up,

" Remember your other senses are heightened. Communication doesn't have to be spoken. What kind of feeling did you get from him?" Derek asked as I wanted to

fall asleep,

" Anger." Scott said as I wanted this Alpha dead, Derek needs to kill him, that thing almost killed me,

" Focused on you?" Derek asked as I made my room more comfortable,

" No, not - not me. But it was definitely anger. I could feel it. Especially when he drew the spiral." Scott said as I stiffened, wait as in a werewolf vengeance spiral,

" Wait, the what? What'd you just say?" Derek asked as I went to my bed and sat down,

" He drew this spiral on the window of my car, in the condensation, you know? What? You have this look like you know what it means." Scott said as Derek's

heartbeat went up but quickly settled.

" No, it's - it's nothing." Derek said as I heard footsteps, I rubbed my hands together, my moonring was next to my pearlflower hairpin,

" Wait - wait - wait - wait a second. You can't do that. You can't ask me to trust you and then just keep things to yourself." Scott said as the footsteps stopped,

" Doesn't mean anything." Derek said as he lied to Scott,

" You buried your sister under a spiral. What does it mean?" Scott asked, if this Alpha has vengeance on it, the Alpha won't stop till he is satisfied.

" You don't wanna know." Derek responded, I got into bed, I heard my door open, must have been the wind,

" I don't wanna get up" I groaned, I turned over to see Derek holding my pearlflower hairpin,

" Put it DOWN" I growled, he did as told, I locked the shellbox and it would only open by my magic.

" You don't need to watch me" I said as I turned over, Derek was on the other side,

" Why are you awake?" He asked as I sat up,

" Dreams are a bitch, I keep hearing howling" I said as he sat down

" Go to sleep" He said as I groaned, I rolled my eyes as he smirked at me, I held onto my Dean Winchester body pillow,

" Who is that?" Derek asked as I smirked,

" Derek meet Dean Winchester, he's a hunter" I said as he flashed his eyes,

" He isn't real" I groaned as Derek took the body pillow from me,

" Hey" I growled as he placed the pillow on the chair, Derek placed the body pillow on the chair along with his leather jacket and shoes, he lied next to me, I felt my

cheeks heating up.

" Come on I don't bite" Derek said as I turned over, I felt his body warmth making my eyes droopy, I fell asleep to Derek's heart beat.

I was in my cave pool, I see a figure staring at me, he turned his head to me, his entrancing green eyes staring at me,

" I knew it was you" His voice was loud, but his face revealed itself,

" Derek?" I whispered as I see the Alpha behind him as Derek stood up,

" Derek look out" I cried as claws went into Derek's back, he was flung into a wall, his eyes staring dead at me.

" AHH" I screeched awake, I see I was in my room,

" God damn it" I groaned as I stretched my arms, I got up and got dressed for the day, the full moon is in a couple of days, Derek seems to be really close to figuring

out that I am his Princess Mermaid,

" Ok this will do" I said as I opened my closet and got dressed,

" Still not talking to me? Okay, can you at least tell me if your dad's okay? It's just a bruise, right? Some soft tissue damage? Nothin' that big - You know I feel really

bad about it, right? Okay. What if I told you that I'm trying to figure this whole thing out, and - That I went to Derek for help?" Scott asked as Stiles turned around to

stare at Scott,

" If I was talking to you, I'd say that you're an idiot for trusting him. But obviously I'm not talking to you." Stiles said as he huffed then turned to Scott,

" What did he say?" Stiles asked, but the bell rang, I went to art class, I drew waves under the trident from last class, I smiled as I made a moon close to it, I was

entranced, the trident is a real thing, but they say it is hidden, but where? Mermaiden and Mermen alike have been searching for it, for millennia, if I was dreaming

about it, was it in Beacon Hills itself? Legend has it that the trident will call to or chose a Merperson, dreams or drawings would envelop them, but the Merperson

would have to have a True Mate, then they could find the trident.

" Great" I said as I put the drawing in my folder and left class, I saw Scott and Stiles on the field, wait what?

" Okay. Now - put this on." Stiles said as he handed Scott something,

" Isn't this one of the heart rate monitors for the track team?" Scott asked Stiles, oh boy, I am not missing this,

" Yeah, I borrowed it." Stiles said as he looked at an object in hand

" Stole it." Stiles said as I smirked, that's hilarious,

" Temporarily misappropriated. Coach uses it to monitor his heart rate with his phone while he jogs, and you're gonna wear it for the rest of the day." Stiles said as he

showed the phone to Scott, oh kelp me.

" Isn't that coach's phone?" Scott asked as I smirked,

" That, I had Marina steal." Stiles said as I had used magic to get,

" Why?" Scott asked as I didn't smell Derek,

" All right, well, your heart rate goes up when you go wolf, right? When you're playing lacrosse, when you're with Allison, whenever you get angry. Maybe learning to

control it is tied to learning to control your heart rate." Stiles said as Scott was smiling like an idiot,

" Like the Incredible Hulk." Scott said as he was holding the strap,

" Kind of like the Incredible Hulk, yeah." Stiles said as Scott was still on the fact that he related himself to a man who turned into a giant green monster,

" No, I'm like the Incredible Hulk." Scott said as Stiles was getting fed up,

" Would you shut up and put the strap on?" Stiles said as Scott did so, Stiles began to tie Scott's hand with dupt tape.

" This isn't exactly how I wanted to spend my free period." Scott said as Stiles backed away,

" All right. You ready?" Stiles asked as he had a ball in the stick's net.

" No." Scott whined, this outta be good,

" Remember, don't get angry." Stiles reminded him before flinging the ball,

" I'm starting to think this was a really bad idea." Scott said before he got hit,

" Oh, man. Okay, that one - kind of hurt." Scott said as he was still standing.

" Quiet. Remember, you're supposed to be thinking about your heart rate, all right? About staying calm." Stiles said as he flung another Lacrosse ball at his best

friend,

" Stay calm. Staying calm. Staying totally calm. There's no balls flying at my face -" Scott said as I smiled, he needed to learn control, a little pain could be useful,

" Aah! Son of a bitch!" Scott said as I sat in the bleachers

" You know what? I think my aim is actually improving." Stiles said as he twisted the stick,

" Wonder why." Scott said as Jackson was close, wait why was he here?

" Stop. Just - can we just hold" Scott said as I heard his heart rate go up after he got hit,

" Scott?" Stiles asked, I watched as Scott's strength grew enough to break through the dupttape, but he calmed down.

" Scott, you started to change." Stiles said as he looked at Scott,

" From anger. But it was more than that. Was like, the angrier I got, the stronger I felt." Scott said as I nodded, this was Werewolf 101,

" So it is anger, then. Derek's right." Stiles said as I was still sitting,

" I can't be around Allison." Scott whimpered, oh brother,

" Just because she makes you happy?" Stiles asked as Scott was panting a bit,

" No, because she makes me weak." Scott said as I got up and went home, I decided to change into something I can move in.

" Derek?" I asked as he was at my door,

" I think that Scott's boss is the Alpha" He said as I was confused,

" Why?" I asked as he showed me a picture of a deer with a spiral on it's side,

" I'll go with you" I said as he showed me his car, we drove in quiet, but when we got there it was night time,

" Scott, you're late again. I hope this isn't getting to be a habit. Can I help you?" Deaton said as I leaned on the side,

" Hope so. Want to know about the animal you found with the spiral on its side?" Derek said as Deaton looked confused.

" Excuse me? What animal?" Deaton asked, Derek brought the picture out,

" Three months ago. The deer. You remember this?" Derek asked as he showed Deaton it,

" Oh, yes. It's just a deer. And I didn't find it. They called me because they wanted to know if I'd ever seen anything like it." Deaton said as he smiled, I feel as if he

isn't telling us something,

" What'd you tell 'em?" I asked as he stared at me,

" I told them no." Deaton said as his heart beat went up, liar.

" Did you hear that?" Derek asked, Deaton looked afraid, but smelt of strength,

" Hear what?" Deaton asked as Derek was close to him,

" The sound of your heartbeat rising." Derek said as he stepped closer,

" Excuse me?" Deaton said as he was faking confusion,

" It's the sound of you lying." Derek said before he hit the vet, oh god, if Derek is doing this to protect me? Did he know what I was? Deaton was taped to the chair,

he woke up a couple minutes later.

" Oh, God." Deaton said as he struggled,

" Are you protecting someone?" Derek growled in his ear,

" All right. The key to the drug locker is in my pocket." Deaton said in a feared filled tone,

" I don't want drugs. I want to know why you're lying." Derek growled again, Deaton was sweating,

" I don't know what you're talking about. What are you doing to me? What do you want?" Deaton asked as Derek stood in front of him,

" I want to know who you are or who you're protecting." Derek growled before lifting the vet up, Scott came in,

" What are you doing? Why are you involving Marina?" Scott asked as Deaton looked at me for a split

" Scott, get out of here!" Deaton told him, Derek dropped Deaton and knocked him unconscious,

" Look, when he's conscious, he can keep himself from healing, but unconscious, he can't." Derek yelled at him,

" Are you out of your mind? What are you talking about?" Scott asked as I felt anger rise,

" You want to know what the spiral means, Scott? It's a sign for a vendetta, for revenge. It means he won't stop killing until he's satisfied." I screamed at him, Derek

growled at Scott,

" You think he's the Alpha?" Scott screamed at Derek,

" We're about to find out." Derek said before almost hitting Deaton with his claws, but another clawed hand stopped him, Scott was transformed, he shifted back, and

looked at Derek,

" Hit him again, and then you'll see me get angry." Scott said before he got a tissue and cleaned the blood off of the vet's cheek,

" Do you have a plan?" I asked as Scott smelt of confusion,

" Just give me an hour." Scott said as Derek walked to him,

" Then what?" Derek asked as Scott was angry, not enough to transform

" Meet me at the school. In the parking lot." Scott said as I sighed, Scott left, Derek put Deaton in the back, an hour was up and we met Scott at the school,

" Where's my boss?" Scott asked as I pointed to the back,

" Oh, well, he looks comfortable." Stiles said before they were heading to the school,

" Wait. Hey. What are you doing?" I asked as my cousin gave me a look,

" Derek said I was linked with the Alpha. I'm gonna see if you're right." Scott said before they got into the school.

" This is either going to end bad or we find the Alpha" I said as I touched the pearlflower hairpin, some kind of sound entered my ear, it sounded like a dog begging to

die,

" You've got to be kidding me." Derek said as he was leaning on Stiles' Jeep,

" Not the worst thing I've heard" I said as I felt cold,

" You cold?" He asked as I nodded, he sighed,

" Come here" He ordered me, I walked to him and ge held me, I heard a large inhale from him,

" You smell like water lily" He said as I smiled, he cupped my cheeks and started to lean in, but an actual howl broke the moment,

" Damn it" I growled lowly, I see Scott and Stiles walk towards us, I had my arms wrapped around my waist,

" I'm gonna kill both of you. What the hell was that? What are you trying to do, attract the entire state to the school?" Derek asked as I rubbed my temples,

" Sorry. I didn't know it would be that loud." Scott said as he was smiling,

" Yeah, it was loud. And it was AWESOME." Stiles said as I was getting fed up with this,

" Shut up." I said as Derek was glaring at Stiles,

" Don't be such a sour wolf." Stiles said as he extends an arm to Derek,

" That's my line Stiles" I grunted as Scott looked at Derek's car,

" What'd you do with him?" Scott asked as I turned around,

" What? we didn't do anything." I said as the next few moments went horribly wrong, I heard a cough, I turned around to see Derek had blood flowing out of his

mouth, he was about six feet in the air, the Alpha was holding him up, I screamed before I was dragged into the school, before I got inside, I see the Alpha toss

Derek to a wall.
