" How much of this bullshit do I have to go through?" Derek asked me as I was toying with my short hair. I looked up at the freshly seventeen-year-old with bright eyes.

" Not sure Bub. I'm only ten." I replied as he smiled and picked me up with a warm hug. I missed those hugs.

" Yes, you are only ten. But, you will be nothing but trouble as a teenager." Laura said as I smiled a bright grin. I missed her the most: her smile, bravado, and moxie. The harsh winds blow embers as I see the burning vision of my mother before me. No burns or worry painted her. She just watched as the scene played before her.

" What are you doing here?" I asked as she watched me with those same eyes that held something behind them. I was pulled away from the scene as darkness fell around me.

" Ahh!" I groaned as I felt my side shift wrong. I blink quickly as I see Stiles opening the door to the Jeep.

" You ok?" Stiles asked as I groaned. Something felt off. I don't know what it is. He helped me out as I saw my brother look like how he did back then. I wanted to rip Kate's throat out. Scott carried my brother as Lydia followed him. Stiles helped me walk inside the animal clinic. I felt slightly hot as I leaned on the wall for support.

" Wow." Deaton's voice hit me in the ears as I walked around the corner.

" "Wow?" "Wow," as in, "I've seen this before and I know exactly what to do"-kind of "wow?" 'Cause that's the kind we were hoping for." Stiles said as he looked between Deaton, Derek, and then me.

" I think you might be overestimating my abilities." Deaton said as I could almost feel the heat finally trying to settle deep.

" He's cold- really cold. From what Stiles tells me, Raven is really warm." Lydia said as I nodded.

" The fever feels a bit broken, but still there." I said as I wiped my forehead.

" Do you think this is permanent? What is happening to them?" Scott asked as Stiles was checking me. I felt nauseated.

" I'm not sure a medical diagnosis is even adequate. This is well beyond my experience." Deaton said as he pulled me up a seat. I took a sweet time sitting my ass down.

" So, what do we do with him? How do we help Raven? What do we do about any of this?" Stiles asked as I was leaning forward.

" Until he wakes up? Probably not much. It might be best to leave him with me." Deaton said as I looked up. He looked over in my direction.

" For Raven, I'm not exactly sure what Kate tried to do. Maybe the same thing?" He said as I got anger filling my veins, but no fuel to the fire.

" I'll rip a chunk out of her, I swear to god." I said as I leaned on Stiles' side.

" But for now, he's not looking to be in any pain, he'll be safe here." Deaton said as he walked towards my brother's unconscious body.

" However, if Kate is alive and she is what you say she is, she won't be able to walk past that gate." Deaton said as I groaned at the thought of even being close to her again would be too soon.

" Why would she want to do this to him? To just kidnap both him and Raven? What was the reason?" Lydia asked as I saw her eyes graze me.

" Knowing Kate, it's probably for a reason that won't be any good for anyone but her." Deaton said as I felt a bit better as Stiles was rubbing my back.

" And bad for everyone else." Stiles said as he kept rubbing my back.

" Kate is nothing but a conniving cunt that walks above everyone. Like a female Peter. Lurking in the shadows till they need to strike." I said as the heat was cooling down finally.

" I can't disagree with you." Stiles said as I looked back at Deaton.

" You guys should probably go home. He doesn't look to be in any danger... So, maybe the rest of you should get some sleep? Get Raven some food, she looks like she's been put through the wringer." Deaton says as my stomach growled pretty loud.

" It is a school night, and you all need to start taking care of your own lives again. Get Raven back into the thick of it. I can check on her after we figure out what is going on with her brother." He says as Stiles got me up.

" Someone should stay with you." Scott said to his boss.

" I'll stay. My grades are fine, despite missing a few classes." Lydia said as she shrugged her shoulders.

" I'm so not okay with this. Raven went missing and I don't want her to kill me if her brother hurts you." Stiles said as I leaned on him for support.

" Stiles, she said she has this. She has a scream that can knock any supernatural down." I told him as he looked at me before sighing.

" Alright. I think I'll be ok with leaving Lydia with Derek." He said as I nodded. I turned over to Lydia with a kind smile.

" Text me if anything happens." I say as she nods.

" I got you." She replied as Stiles turned me towards the door.

" Alright, Rave. Let's get you a bite." He says as he walks me out the door. After an amazing dinner of Chinese food. I found myself kissing Stiles with rush and vigor.

" God, I fucking missed you." He groaned against my lips. I smirked against it as he slammed the door shut with my body against it. I felt him tear my barely hanging shirt off my body as I quickly took his shirt off. Feeling his warm skin in my hands once again, I felt myself getting wet. We practically clambered to the shower and turned it on. Quickly ripping clothes off in the process.

" I need you now." I moaned as we went under the water's spray. His lips trailed down my neck as my hair stuck to one side. I could feel every touch, every inch of warmth as the spray hit both of us. He sat down as I felt hot. I proceeded to sit down on his length and feel my tightness hugging every inch of it.

" God, you are tight." He moaned as he kissed the nape of my neck. His hands trailed down my hips as I moved. The feelings in that shower were heavy with haste breath and hands moving down the opaque frost glass. I heard the hitch of his breath as I sped up. I felt the coil in my belly tighten as I quickened bouncing. I moaned out loud as I felt the familiar heat race through me.

" I missed your warmth, I've missed your scent, I missed everything." Stiles said as he was breathing a bit steadily. We got up and got clean. Stiles took sweet time lathering my hair in my signature scent; Japanese Cherry Blossom. He picked me up after drying me with a fluffy white towel. He proceeded to lay me on the comfortable bed.

" I can't imagine the horrors of what happened." Stiles said as I shook my head.

" I don't want to think about it." I said as he nodded. I turned him over and wrapped my arms around him.

" Little spoon?" He asked as I shuffled my head into his back. Feeling him against me after two weeks of being locked up. It was heaven. Sleep did come but I didn't dream. I lay in bed as Stiles went out for breakfast. I finally sat up, holding the sheet against my chest. I felt off, something was wrong. I shake my head and get up. I pulled out a skull tube top and some torn red jeans. I pulled my boots as Stiles came in with a bag from the diner down the street.

" You are a lifesaver." I said as I was handed the bag. I began to chow down on the double bacon and egg cheese bagel. It was so savory and so delicious, that I almost wolfed down the entire thing in half a minute. I sat back as Stiles sat next to me.

" Maybe you should skip school?" He asked as I shook my head.

" I've got classes to catch up on." I said as I got up and wiped my mouth of residue. I looked in the mirror. I looked slightly tired with some bags under my eyes. My red streak is still bright and prominent. I took time to brush my hair and put it up in a bun. I did my make-up and finished off with my black lipstick.

" I just want everything to be normal again." I say as I put the cap back on.

" And it will." Stiles said coming from behind me and hugging me. I hummed in his embrace.

" I'm a little worried about my grades." I said as we walked down the stairs.

" Knowing you, you don't have much to worry about with you being ahead by a bit." He says as I smirked. I looked around for his dad and didn't see him.

" He left for his early shift." Stiles said as I smirked. We piled into his jeep and went to school. As we piled out, people's eyes followed me, but I stuck my head high and walked on. Soon finding Scott.

" Things have been great since I can finally hold my Raven. After last night's activities, we spent the rest of the night spooning." Stiles said as he held my hand.

" That sounds okay." Scott says as we walk up some steps.

" Yeah, but I'm always the little spoon! Always!" Stiles said as I chuckled.

" You practically demand it." I say with a chuckle.

" It feels nice!" He says as if I had struck a cord. I just smirked at this.

" So how did you guys collect my homework?" I asked as they stopped.

" We told your teachers to email your assignments. Luckily, your grades are all good." Stiles says as I quirked a brow.

" Told them that your brother took you on vacation." Stiles said as I put my hand on my hip.

" Where?" I asked as Scott rubbed the back of his head.

" Mexico." Scott said wearily. I groaned at the thought of the torture I tried to bury with the other trauma that was called my life.

" Don't remind me." I said as I felt a small headache brewing.

" You doing ok?" Stiles asked as I shrugged.

" Yeah, I just feel a little different after what Kate tried to do." I say as Stiles puts a hand on my back.

" Wait what?" He asked confused.

" She tried to deage me or something, but Scott came to the rescue before too long." I replied as he pulled me into his arms.

" I'm glad you are ok." He said as I smiled, he pulled me in for a kiss as the bell rang. We sighed before going to class.

" It might surprise you to know that some of history's greatest leaders have had to endure some pretty great failures. One you'll recognize from last night's reading failed in business, had a nervous breakdown, was defeated for both houses of Congress, and lost as Vice-President before he was finally elected as one of the greatest presidents that this country has ever seen. Who was he?" Mr. Yukimura said as phones started going off. I see it's Malia who got pointed out.

" Scott phones off." Mr. Yukimura told him. I chuckled.

"...One of our greatest presidents? Gettysburg Address?" He tried, but the phones kept going off. I saw mine buzzed and saw it was Lydia.

' Your brother is missing! LM.' What!

" "Scott, call Lydia."" Mr. Yukimura said aloud. Scott, Stiles, and I left school to see what the hell happened. We saw Deaton tending to a wound.

" I don't think he's just younger in body...I think he's younger in his mind, too." Deaton said as I was in shock. Derek was gone.

" He didn't recognize either of us. And he looked like he was scared out of his mind. He was calling for Raven. Said he could smell her." Lydia said as she looked a bit afraid. I was worried about her.

" So, if you're a teenage Werewolf, looking for your pack and you're scared, where do you go?" Stiles asked as I rubbed my shoulder.

" A wolf goes back to its den... But Derek lives in a loft." Scott says as I shake my head.

" If it's back before the fire. Then that's the answer." I say as Stiles points at me.

" The Hale House?" Lydia asked as Deaton came forward.

" He wouldn't remember the fire- it wouldn't have happened yet." Deaton says as I shook for a moment.

" What do we do? If he is deaged, then he won't know any of you.." I say as I put on hand on my hip.

" What are you going to say to him?" Lydia asked the two.

" I guess I'm going to have to talk to him." Scott said as Lydia shook her head.

" Not a good idea. I feel like there is more behind this that we aren't seeing. We have to do something to hide him away." I say as I feel my nerves getting to me.

" She's probably right." Stiles said as Scott rubbed the back of his neck.

" What is left to do?" Scott asked him as they all looked at me. I gave a deep sigh.

" I'm his sister and one of his remaining family. I just have to get to him first." I said as Deaton looked like he was contemplating.

" Find him; if Kate gets to him first, there is no telling what she will do." Deaton says as I feel my blood beginning to flare.

" One thing after a fucking another." I said as I felt my palms tighten under my grip. Stiles' phone goes off. He pulls it out and I see his eyes widen.

" Dad has Derek in custody." He said as I shook my head.

" Great!" I said as I threw my arms up and walked out of the clinic. Stiles and Scott catch up.

" You aren't surprised?" Scott asked as I shook my head.

" $20 says assaulted a cop." I said as I opened the door and hung halfway out of the passenger side. The two piled into the Jeep and before too long, we were in front of the Sheriff's station.

" I hope he didn't cause any trouble." I said as I got out.

" I hope he didn't kill anybody." Stiles said as I gave a raised brow.

" I've never dealt with this before." He said as a defense. I chuckled as I kissed his cheek.

" Neither have I, let's get him out of here." I say as Scott nods. We headed inside and went right for the Sheriff's office.

" Raven, I'm glad you are safe and sound." Noah said as he pulled me in for a hug. I welcomed it as I heard the door shut. I backed away as I felt my body shiver.

" I'm just happy to be back home and no longer at that bitch's reach." I said as I gripped my arm.

" You almost look a bit on the light side." He said as I shivered again. That bitch will feel my fucking claws.

" Kate's not a good host. Meals came by every what felt like days, I don't even know how long I was gone." I said looking down. I felt ashamed that I was taken down by Kate of all fucking people.

" No one told her?" Stiles' voice caught me as I looked up. He was right, how long was I gone?

" Everything was panicked." Scott replied to him. I looked at them with curious eyes as Stiles looked at me.

" Raven, you were missing for two weeks." He said as I went wide-eyed. The fuck!

" Two weeks, are you fucking with me!" I said with outstretched hands. Scott looked worried as Stiles sighed.

" Sadly not, babe." He replied as I put my hand over my eyes.

" Jesus fucking hotcakes. As if Kate kidnapping Derek and I wasn't fucking enough!" I said as I didn't care about not filtering myself. I moved my hand to my hip.

" I've missed those comments like crazy." Stiles said as I looked at him.

" I bet you have." I replied with a smirk.

" Wait, if you and Derek were kidnapped how is he like that?" Noah asked as we looked at him. We didn't know much either.

" We found him like that." Scott told him, I see Noah's eyes widen.

" Where? Swimming in the fountain of youth?" Noah said with a deep trill in his voice that startled me.

" No... We found him buried in a tomb of wolfsbane in an Aztec temple in Mexico underneath a church in the middle of a town that was destroyed by an earthquake...Raven was tied up at his feet." Scott said blatantly. I shook my head as I saw Noah looking to about burst a blood vessel.

" You told me you were camping!" Noah said sternly.

" Yeah, we were!... In Mexico." Stiles replied by twiddling his thumbs. I chuckled at this.

" Derek's been aged backward- he can't remember anything. We just need to talk to him." Scott said as we made our intentions clear as rain.

" Yeah, well, so far, he's not talking to anybody. He assaulted one of my deputies." He replied as he crossed my arms. Derek, before he had Anger as his anchor, had trouble controlling the shift. Did it seat itself back into him in this state?

" He'll talk to her." Scott says as I shrug.

" We have to get him out of here and out of Kate's radar." I say as Stiles looks worried.

" And you too." He said as I nod. I watched as Scott and Stiles walked into a room with my deaged brother.

" I've seen the look before." Noah said as I turned to him.

" The way you are holding yourself. The slight shivers and shakes." He said as I turned to him.

" You went through Hell down there, didn't you?" He asked as I nodded slightly.

" Keep everyone by your side. They will help you through the trauma." He says as I slightly heard my brother yelling. I looked at the Sheriff before leaving to go to the room with the three.

" None of you can help me!" Derek said with a lot of anger in his voice. It's been a long time since I've seen him like this.

" You have to trust us, you little punk! You coming with us, or not?" Stiles said as I could hear the annoyance. I pressed a slightly shaken hand on the door.

" You want me to trust you? Where's my family?" Derek demanded as I came in and shut the door behind me.

" Derek." I said as he looked at me. He looked confused before I saw him relax.

" Raven?" He asked as I walked up to him. He looked so intimidated and worried; almost like a scared little boy who lost his parent. I took a deep breath and relaxed.

" Yeah, it's me." I said as I raised my fist to him, he looked at it and returned the fist bump.

" What happened to you? You got so tall." He says as I chuckled, I missed this atmosphere about him. I had to shake this off. I had to get serious.

" Something not so good happened to us and your memory got shot." I told him as he took a step back.

" You know I wouldn't lie to you." I say as he looks to the ground before looking back at me. His arms crossed over his chest.

" You trust them?" He asked as he beamed his head at the two. I turned to Scott and Stiles before smiling back at Derek.

" I do. You, my dear brother, know I don't trust anybody." I say as he looks deep into my eyes before relenting.

" Okay." He replied before I relaxed as well. After Derek was released, Stiles and I were told by Scott to take him back to his place because he was going to talk to Peter.

" You got it. Just watch yourself around Peter. He's still his arrogant, petty, bitchy, and most important self-absorbed dickhead." I said as we took Derek to the Jeep. He crawled in the back and I went to the passenger seat. Stiles climbed inside and drove us off.

" Today has and will be hell." I said leaning my head back.

" When isn't it?" Stiles replied as I chuckled, the warmth of my laughter was very welcoming. The rest of the car ride was pretty quiet, till we got to Scott's. We climbed out of the Jeep and headed inside.

" We're going to wait here for Scott. We're going to sit quietly. We're not going to call or talk to anyone that isn't here." Stiles said as my brother stuck by my side.

" Do I talk to you?" Derek asked as I saw Stiles stop before us.

" Uh." Stiles said dumbfounded. I chuckled as I turned to my brother.

" Not really, you kind of intimidate him as he's dating me." I said as I saw Derek furrow his eyebrows before looking between the two of us.

" You went for him?" Derek asked as I blushed hard. I nodded with a cheeky grin.

" Lottie, who's going to talk to him?" He asked as he pointed behind me. I saw Rafe McCall. I jumped a bit.

" AHH! Are you getting taller?" Stiles asked him. Rafe stood there looking at the three of us.

" What are you guys doing here?" He asked as Derek took a step forward.

" We're waiting for Scott." He said as Rafe nodded.

" Yeah, so am I. We're supposed to have dinner. I brought extra. Are you guys hungry?" Rafe asked as Derek perked up.

" Yeah." Derek said with enthusiasm as I smiled.

" No. We're not hungry." Stiles said as I playfully glared at him.

" Don't deny me food after the ordeal." I said with my arms crossed. Stiles grumbled but agreed.

" I guess we can eat." Stiles said rubbing the back of his head.

" You are a lifesaver for being a dick." I said with a cheeky grin. Rafe looked confused.

" What's your name?" He asked pointing at Derek, oh no!

" Miguel. My cousin Miguel. From Mexico. So…" Stiles said as Rafe smiled.

" ¿Es usted natural de México, Miguel?" Rafe asked in Spanish.

" Oh, my God." Stiles said bewildered. I just chuckled as I knew what he asked.

" No soy nativo, sino que pasé un montón de tiempo allá." Derek replied as I saw Stiles confused.

" Fantastic! Egg roll?" Rafe asked him.

" Hell yeah!" Derek says as he goes to the table.

" Shrimp fried rice, or pork fried rice?" Rafe asked as Derek and I perked.

" Shrimp fried rice." Derek replied as I smirked.

" Egg Roll and Pork Fried Rice please." I asked as Rafe smiled. We all got a plate and sat to eat.

" So, uh, Miguel... What did you say your last name was again?" Rafe asked as he downed an Egg roll.

" Oh, it's Juarez-Cinqua-Tiago." Stiles said as Rafe watched him.

" That's a mouthful. How do you spell that?" Rafe asked. I saw Derek looking smugly at Stiles. Even young, he's toying with Stiles like a punk.

" Phonetically." Stiles said nervous before I saw Derek perk up.

" Mr. McCall, you're an FBI agent?" Derek asked Rafe, oh no, I've gotta stop this!

" Miguel, remember that thing I told you I would talk to you about later. Later." I say as my brother watches my face.

" Got it." Derek replied as we continued to eat. After we finished eating, Derek and I went to Scott's bedroom while Stiles followed behind. Derek sat down on the bed as I stood a few feet from him. I was about to open an old scar and it kills me that I have to.

" Now tell me the truth." Derek said as I could see the impatience on his face. I turned to Stiles slightly.

" Stiles, go call Scott and get him here. Please?" I asked as I saw him look at me.

" Got it. I'll be back. I love you." He said before quickly placing a kiss on my already red cheeks. He left the room.

" Love you more." I whispered as I looked at the doorway before I turned back to Derek, who had an unreadable look.

" You love him, don't you?" He asked as I smiled lightly.

" Since we moved back." I said before sitting down in a chair.

" Moved back?" He asked me. I felt my heart breaking as I took a breath. I feel like I was opening a box of trauma for us all over again. It had to be done, we don't know if this is fucking permanent. The words about to come out of my throat felt like cracking stones ready to destroy each other.

" Derek, the house was set on fire." I told him as I saw his eyes widen.

" What?" He asked exacerbated. He was sitting upright.

" Mom, Dad, and many others died in it." I said as my voice was void of emotion as I, myself, was reliving what we saw all those years ago. Derek quickly sprang up.

" No! I don't believe you!" Derek yelled at me. I looked at him with tears welling up in my eyes.

" Laura took us away from here. So much has happened Derek." I said as I tried to keep it together, but Derek was beginning to pace.

" You are lying to me!" He yelled as I got up, the chair falling behind me.

" I'm not lying!" I said as the anger began to stir.

" Stop talking!" He demanded as I got in his face. He needed to know in case Kate showed up to try leading him away.

" Derek, Kate started it all. She conspired all of it. She got close to you. Got all the info she needed and used it to set the house on fire!" I said as if scolding a child, my voice almost breaking as I had to drill him.

" You have to be lying." He said staring dead in my eyes.

" Der, I wish I was. You have no idea how much I wish this wasn't fucking true!" I said as the tears broke through.

" How can you say these things?" He said as he was taken aback. I wiped away the tears to attempt to compose myself. He sat down with a hefty thud.

" Cause we saw the midst of the fire before our eyes. Both you and Laura held me back from rushing into the flames. No one made it out alive, but Peter." I said as I stood above him. I hated doing this, I hated every second that the truth ran through him like a bolt of lightning.

" Why?" He asked looking at me. I took a breath before thinking of the right answer.

" From what I can tell, it was always about getting revenge." I said as I grabbed the chair and sat it up right before taking a seat myself. We talked for a few before I could smell the danger. I saw the blonde hair coming through the window. Oh hell no!

" Finally." Her voice was like snake venom. I felt my anger beginning to bubble.

" Kate?" Derek asked bewildered to see her. All my hate was boiling to go and kill her right there.

" Hey, handsome. Been a long time...Longer than you think." She said with that fucking smirk. My body moved before I could stop myself.

" You rotten bitch!" I growled as I went at her. I got one punch in before she had a grip on my throat.

" Awe sweetie. Nice try." She said in that sickly sweet tone. I wanted to gag.

" Let her go!" Derek demanded as Kate gripped tighter.

" I will. You just have to help me with one thing." She says as I can feel my disdain for her grow.

" Promise to let her go and I will!" Derek pleaded with her. I can imagine the fucking smirk on her face.

" I'll keep her close for insurance purposes." Kate said coldly.

" Bitch, I'll kill you." I growled as the grip tightened.

" Kinky." She replied as I gagged. Oh fucking great!

" Gross. I don't want to lose my lunch after you practically starved me!" I gritted in between my fucking teeth.

" Move it!" Kate said as I felt the cold barrel of a gun to my back.

" Don't hurt her!" Derek pleaded again.

" Let's go." Kate said as Derek went out the window before she dragged both of us out the window. I saw Stiles' worried face as I was pulled out the window. Kate made us get in her car and drove off.

" What is your pathetic plan, bitch!" I growled as she kept the gun in her lap.

" Don't worry sugar, I got this. You both get me what I want and I'll leave." She said before pinching my cheeks. I groaned as we pulled into the parking lot of the school. She pulled me harshly out of the car.

" Take it easy, Barbie." I growled as she got me to stand.

" Move." She said as her grip tightened. Derek got in front of her with his claws out.

" Why are you doing this?" He asked as Kate grabbed my throat again.

" Here's the deal at hand. You give me the tools to gain control. I let your brat of a baby sister go and we part ways. Everyone's happy and I get what I want." She said with that sickly sweet tone again. Derek glared at her and began to breathe heavily.

" Raven was right, you killed our family." Derek said accusing her of the truth.

" And I don't feel bad that I did. Get us inside that vault." She said as she dragged me.

" You really are a bitch." He said as we made it to the Beacon Hills High School Sign.

" Easy Handsome, I've been called worse." Kate said with a grin.

"Why would your family build a vault under a high school?" She asked dumbfounded. I snickered.

" We were here before the majority of Beacon Hills, bitch. Didn't Daddy Dearest teach you a fucking thing?" I said before she hit me in the gut. I groaned as the wind was knocked out of me. Derek growled at her before unlocking the vault. Only a Hale's claws can unlock the bitch. We watched as the sign moved to reveal the entrance. Kate again dragged me down. Moving us through the contents to find her desired item.

" Not that." Derek said as he held the Triskelion. Kate pulled me over so I was in front of him, six feet, keeping me from my family.

" That's it? You're sure?" Kate asked annoyed.

" Yes, Now let her go." Derek demanded. Kate snickered.

" Fine, I guess a deal is completed." She said before tossing me over to Derek. He tossed the damn thing. He was checking me over.

" I'm fine." I said as he helped me up. Kate was looking over the medallion.

" It doesn't look like much." She said before I smelt him.

" That's 'cause it isn't." Peter said as he came out of the shadows.

" Where have you fucking been!" I yelled at him.

" Can't wait to catch up Raven." He said before turning to Kate.

" Quite the elaborate scheme you have here, Kate. Two countries, Aztec temples, Derek returned to a teenager...kidnapping Raven." Peter said as he circled Kate, who followed suit.

" One that trusted you, loved you. And one who truly hates you for all her being. All this complication... just to gain access to our vault. Just to get your hands on that little piece of junk." He said as Kate stopped.

" Turn it over. Go ahead. There's a scrape on the back where it used to say 'Made in China.' " Peter said as I saw the anger begin to show on Kate's face.

" Nice job angering the bitch, Peter. Next time, watch who the fuck you decide to rip throats out of." I yelled at him as I was still pissed that what he did brought her back to plague our lives.

" You're lying." Kate said as the anger pooled her scent. I scoffed at my Uncle.

" I admit, I tend to exaggerate things... But, in this case, the truth is so much more fun. Oh, I'm sorry, sweetheart- that little pendant is just a physical object to focus on. It's training wheels. Talia used it to teach Laura. I tried to use it to teach Derek. Raven found her mortal attachments with trial and error." Peter said with that sadistic smirk on his face. The sound of Scott's roar reverberated in my ears. Thank god! Kate came over and grabbed my brother.

" Is this real? Tell me if this is real! I can take her back easily." She said as Derek looked annoyed.

" Didn't you hear that? That was Scott!" Derek said as Kate gripped him.

" TELL ME!" She screamed at us. We don't fucking care.

" Who Cares Bitch! Fight Your Bullshit!" I said as I heavily punched her before taking my brother and running. We saw Scott and Kira against fucking Berserkers! She brought them with her!

" We can't take them!" Derek yelled. I growled.

" We are Hales! It's what we always fucking do!" I yelled at him. He nodded at me and we began to push the two Berserkers back. I was tossed into some lockers as Derek kept fighting them.

" Do it!" I yelled at him. I scented Stiles? What is he doing here? I looked to see Derek with his back to me still fighting. I ran off and found both him and Lydia. I ran into his arms.

" Are you ok?" He asked worried about me. I let a loose laugh out.

" Not my best night, but I'm ok. I promise." I said with my cheeky smirk planted on my face.

" God, I love you." He said before kissing me. I fell deep into the warmth of it all. I pulled away as Lydia piped up.

" Somethings going on in there." She said as I got confused.

" Let's go." I say as Stiles takes my hand. We go down the stairs to see Peter by himself in the vault and his safe open.

" It was never... never... about the Triskelion. They took it. They took it while I was blind." Peter said as he was in front of his vault.

" Took what?" Stiles asked as Peter got up and placed a hand on the safe.

" Bonds. Bearer bonds. And they took them all." Peter replied as he looked at us.

" Your Berarer Bonds? The ones you kept blathering about for months?" I asked as he nodded. I have only seen him look this bewildered a handful of times.

" Hold on, are you saying that you got robbed?" Stiles asked as I saw the slight smile on his face, Karma is a bitch! Color me shocked.

" This was a heist! Somebody planned this!" Peter said as he stood infuriated.

" How much did they take?" Lydia asked as Peter took a breath.

" One hundred and seventeen." He said with anger in his voice.

" Thousand?" Stiles asked as I chuckled. Oh boy.

" Million." Peter said as I groaned at the bullshit that befell all of us.

" Fucking hell." I growled as I felt the familiar heat of my eyes. I never felt more anger in this moment. After all the bullshit that I'd been tortured with.

" Raven, your eyes." Stiles said as I looked concerned at him.

" What about them?" I asked as I turned to Lydia.

" They aren't red anymore." Lydia said as I felt my heart skip a beat. I felt my body was in shock.

" What?" I asked loudly as I scrambled to get my phone out of my pocket.

" What happened to your eyes?" Peter's voice echoed as I pulled up the camera app on my phone. My eyes reflected that the searing red was gone. The flare of golden hues looked back at me. I felt my body shaking. My phone dropped out of my hand.

" What the fuck? How the fuck? What? Why? I." I said as I gripped my shoulder. What was happening to me?

" Raven?" Stiles asked as he put a hand on my shoulder. I quickly wrapped my arms around him for the first time in a while. I felt afraid.

" What the fuck is happening to me?" I asked as my voice was shaking.

" Raven, we will try to figure this out." Lydia said as she came over to the two of us. I pulled away as Stiles still held my arms to keep me steady.

" I'm scared. I don't know what this means." I said as the heat faded out.

" I will do everything in my power to figure this out." Stiles says as I look around for my brother. I saw Peter was gone.

" What about Derek? Where is he?" I asked as I saw him come back into normal view. I smiled faintly as he came before me.

" Thank god you are ok." I say as Stiles lets me go.

" I was worried about you." I said as he pulled me into a hug. I felt the thought come back. I pulled away.

" Somethings wrong with me." I say as I force my eyes to glow. His responded. The normal cold steel blue was replaced with the same golden hue.

" I'm not sure what is happening to us. But I'm willing to pay to find out. Stay with Stiles tonight. I'm going to see if I can find anything in the books or contacts." He said as I nodded solemnly.

" Sounds like a plan, Derek." I say as I turn back to Stiles and Lydia, rubbing my shoulders as I follow them to the Jeep.

" Get her out of here." Lydia says as I hop into the Jeep.

" Enough has riled us up for a bit. I'll make sure she gets somewhere safe so that bitch can't get to her.". Stiles replied before starting the Jeep. As he drove off. I placed my hand on the glass as I saw Scott, Kira, and Lydia group up before the forest line took over the view, the moon bright in the sky. I felt Stiles' warm hand on my back as I just stared out the window. We soon stopped in Stiles' driveway. He got out and came to my side, opening the door as I made eye contact with him.

" I promise I won't let anything happen to you." He said as he picked me up. I laid my head on his chest as he somehow got the door open. He shuts it as we see his Dad rounding the corner.

" There was a call about strange noises around the school. Know anything about it?" He asked before seeing Stiles carrying me.

" I'll explain later, Dad. Right now isn't a good time." Stiles replied as his Dad looked at me then at Stiles, before nodding and walking away. Stiles then took me to his room, where he put me down. I pulled my clothes off as he followed suit. We proceeded to lie in bed, but this time, Stiles wrapped around me.

" I've got you, Rave." He whispered as I felt his lips touch my back. I toyed my necklace in my hand as I felt my eyes slowly shut. I was so tired and so concerned with it all. What was wrong with Derek and what was wrong with me? What was all of this leading to?
