"It had a tail. I don't have a tail." Scott muttered as we climbed up the wall, out gym class watching. "Maybe you just haven't grown it yet." I teased and he chuckled. "I'm not growing a tail. Ever." I stopped and waited for him. "Are you slowing down for me?" He askes and I shrugged. "I was waiting for you." I stuck my tongue out and he playfully scoffed. "What? Waiting for me to catch up?" Scott asked and I laughed. "You looked like you were struggling." I teased him and he leaned back, looking at my butt. "Maybe I was admiring the view." He rose his eyebrows and so did I before speeding up the wall. "Try admiring from afar." I saw Scott catch up so I pushed his hand away and he slipped before falling to the Matt. I bit my lip and climbed back down whilst the class, including Coach laughed at Scott. Oops.

"McCall, I don't know why, but your pain gives me a special kind of joy. Right? All right, next two. Stilinski, Erica, let's go. The wall." Coach commanded so Erica and Stiles started climbing. Erica stopped and started breathing heavily. "Erica. Dizzy? Is it vertigo?" I looked at Coach with furrowed eyebrows and was about to say something when Lydia did. "Vertigo's a dysfunction of the vestibular system of the inner ear. She's just freaking out." She waved it off and I shook my head. "Erica." The coach called but Erica shook her head. "I'm fine." She called back so I turned to Coach.  "Coach, maybe it's not safe. You know she's epileptic." I rose my eyebrows as his jaw dropped. "Why doesn't anybody tell me this stuff? I have to get - Erica, y - you're fine. Just - Just kick off from the wall. Th - There's a mat to catch you. Come on." Erica let herself down. "See, you're fine. You're on the ground. You're all right. Let's go. Shake it off. You're fine." Coach comforted Erica. "Listen up. Anybody sees Isaac Lahey, you immediately tell the principal. Get a teacher, or you call me. Except for you, Greenberg. Don't call me for anything. I'm not kidding. Don't call me. You shouldn't even have my number." The coach called so I pulled Scott and Stiles to the side. "Isaac?" Scott asked and I furrowed my eyebrows in thought. "It's Derek's problem now." Stiles muttered and I frowned at him. "Which makes it my problem as well. And my problem turns into Scott's and that wi-"

"Okay! I get it." Stiles sighed before he walked off. Scott turned to me gave me a smile and a kiss before following Stiles.

I had this weird feeling so I ran into the gym where Scott was holding a spazzing Erica. I covered my mouth and kneeled down in front of them. "What - what is that?" Stiles asked confused but nobody answered. "Put her on her side. Put her on her side. How'd you know?" Allison asked Scott and he looked at me before we both answered. "I just felt it." We smiled at each other as Erica held Scott's hand in a death grip.

At Lunch I sat down with Allison. "Have you seen Lydia?" I asked, looking around for my best friend. "No but I saw Jackson talking to her earlier. Neither of them looked happy." I bit the inside of my cheek and nodded. "So where are you going with Stiles, Scott and Lydia?" Allison asked, wriggling her eyebrows. I laughed and shrugged "I don't know yet. They haven't told me." I fake pouted and Allison giggled. Lydia sat down and I smiled at her but her jaw dropped so I turned to the doorway. "What - The holy hell - Is that?" Lydia asked and I turned to her and Allison. "It's Erica." I answered.

Erica left so I got up and followed her outside. She got into Derek's car and I clenched my jaw. "Derek!" I shouted after his car but he just sped off.

I growled and someone out their hand on my shoulder. I spun around to face Stiles, I relaxed and he rose his eyebrows at me. "Are you okay?" I nodded and ran my fingers through my hair.

"Can I come to your place after school?" I asked my cousin and he nodded, throwing his arm around my shoulder and leading me back into the hallways. "Sure. My dad misses you." I forced a smile, remembering my own Dad and getting a sudden wave of sadness.

"See you later." Scott smiled and gave me a kiss before rushing to work. I smiled to myself, feeling the butterflies and also feeling my cheeks reddening. "Lucia." I looked down the steps to see Derek in his car, waiting for me to get in. Stiles was watching us. "I'm going to Stiles's" I spat and marched past the car, the next thing to be heard was Derek's car racing off and people jumping out of the way. I shook my head and got into Stiles Jeep.

"Lucia!" As soon as I got out of the car my uncle engulfed me in a huge hug and I hugged back, pushing away my tears and putting a smile on. Stiles waited for me before I followed him up to his room. On the way up the stairs I stopped at a picture with me, Stiles, Jack, Elliot, my Mum, my Dad and the sheriff on it. My breath hitched as I stared at Jack and my parents. It was an adorable picture. We were all on or behind a couch. I was on Jack's lap, Stiles next to us and my Mum sitting next to Stiles with Elliot on her lap. My uncle and my Dad had their arms around their shoulders, grinning at the camera.

Stiles gave me a side hug and rested his head on my shoulder.

"Come on. I'll take you home, you get changed and we go to the ice rink." Stiles suggested after we played some video game for about two hours. I agreed and he drove me home. He hid his car downstairs and I saw Erica, Isaac and Derek training like I used to with Derek. "Where were you?" Derek shouted after me and I could hear Stiles heart beat accelerate. I just ignored Derek and led Stiles to my room. "I've never been up these stairs." Stiles stayed standing at the bottom of the stairs.

"It's okay Stiles. Derek won't kill you. As long as you don't go into his room." I whispered the last sentence and Stiles quickly followed me as we heard someone walk up to the loft door. I quickly got changed into something appropriate for an ice rink.

"Since you never skated before, maybe I should give you a few pointers?" I offered Scott but he just huffed. "Not that this is news to you or anything, but you remember the werewolf thing? Super speed, strength and reflexes." Scott bragged and I rose my eyebrows. "So a little ice skating should be no problem." I stemmed my hands on my hips, slowly skating backwards. "Yeah. See? It's no problem" His right foot slipped and he went flying onto his back. "Ugh! Maybe." He groaned as I covered my mouth before helping him up

"Okay, you got it. You got it. You got -" I shouted as Scott skated off into a wall. "I think I'm getting the hang of it!" There was a big bang as he smashed his head against the wall. I gasped and skated towards him before kneeling down. "You look like you hit your head that time." I worried. "What's that, coach?" I couldn't help but laugh. "You definitely hit your head." I shook my head and helped him stand up. "Let's go to the photo booth."

We took loads of picture, in one of them I closed my eyes and he kissed my cheek. The pictures were printed and I laughed out loud. "Oh, our eyes. The - the flash triggers them." He tore the last picture off and gave it to me. I was about to thank him when we heard a high pitched scream. We rushed to the ice rink to find Stiles holding a screaming Lydia.  

The next day in school I walked up to Erica. "Two's not enough for Derek. I know he needs at least three. So who's next?" I asked, crossing my arms. "Why does there have to be a next when we've already got you and Scott." She smirked and I growled at her. "Who's next?" I hissed and Scott walked up to us. "You know, I never knew what I looked like during a seizure until someone took a video of me once and put it online?" Erica told us and I shrugged. "I don't care." I bluntly replied. "It happened during class. I started seizing in my desk and everyone was saying how they should put something in my mouth until some genius reads the card on my key ring which tells him not to 'cause it could break my teeth." Erica said and Scott tried to shut her up. "Erica." But she just continued. "Do you know what happens next? I piss myself. And they start laughing. You know, the only good thing about seizures was that I never remembered them. Until some brilliant jerkoff - had to go and put cameras in everybody's phone. Look at me now." Erica pushed her chest out at Scott but he kept his eyes fixed on hers until she left. "I hate her. And I hate Derek." I grumbled as Scott put his arm around me and kissed the top of my head.

At Lunch I sat with Scott and Stiles. "Do you see that?" Stiles asked and I turned around to look at what he was looking at.  "What, it's an empty table." Scott answered. "Yeah, but whose empty table?" Stiles asked and I shook my head. Oh please no. "Boyd." I whispered causing Stiles to nod. "I'm going to go to the ice - rink, see if he's there. And if he's not at home, you call me, got it?" Scott wanted to stand up but Stiles stopped him. "What?" Scott asked as I had already gotten up to go to the ice rink with Scott. "Maybe we should let him. Boyd, you know, man? You said Derek's giving them a choice, right?" Stiles tried to reason with us but I shook my head. "We can't. Derek's only using them." It hurt to talk about Derek that way but it was the truth.

"You gotta admit, Erica looks pretty good. You know, the word sensational comes to mind." Stiles made a face and I glared at him. "Yeah. How good do you think she's gonna look with a wolfsbane bullet in her head?" Scott hissed and Stiles lifted his hands in surrender. "All right, all I'm saying is maybe this one isn't totally your responsibility." He sighed and I crossed my arms. "They all are. And you know this thing's gonna get out of control. That makes us responsible." I pointed at myself and at Scott.

We quickly left the school and drove to the ice rink where Boyd was sitting on his cleaning thingy. "Boyd. We just wanna talk. Hey, come on, Boyd, please. Did Derek tell you everything? And I don't just mean going out of control on the full moons. I mean everything." Scott followed Boyd who was driving around on his truck. I was slipping all over the place so I used my werewolf balance and stability. "He told me about the hunters." Boyd answered, stopping the truck. "And that's not enough for you to say no? Whatever you want there's other ways to get it." Scott tried to change Boyd's mind.

"It's true. It is about power." Derek brought out his claws and I shook my head. "Derek!" I ran in front of Scott but Derek just pushed me out of the way. During the whole fight between Scott, Erica and Isaac, all I was doing was punching or pushing Erica away but I still felt useless and now I did because my own 'father' pushed me out of the way.
