I was now in the school parking lot on edge. Leaning against Stiles jeep while aimlessly scrolling on my phone trying to calm my nerves.

"Mia!" I heard someone yell. I looked up to see Stiles waving and running up to me.

"Hey, I saw your text and..OH MY GOD what is THAT?!" Stiles yelled making some people turn towards us. "What is what?" I asked scrunching my eyebrows concerned. He reached towards me and pulled my hair away from my neck.

"Your neck..theres literally scratches or claw marks on them. What happened?" he asked. "Shit he left a mark?" I let out as I whipped the camera out on my phone analyzing my neck. It wasn't horrible, but looked very red and as if someone choked me...which they did.

"Who left a mark?!" Stiles yelled. "Was it Derek?" he whispered looking around. "Is he here? Is he back? I'm gonna kill him I-"

"Stiles, no. It was Scott." Stiles face dropped as he analyzed the wound. We both knew Scott would never hurt me, but this isn't him. This is his wolf side that he can't control.

"We need help Stiles. Neither of us are strong enough to stop him," I stated. "That's not true Mia, we can help him-"

"Stiles! I got this from trying to help him...we need Derek," I said looking into his sad eyes. "We don't know where he is Mia, or if he's even alive," Stiles stated putting his hands into his pockets.

"He's alive, and I know where he is," I said walking to the passenger side of his jeep opening the door.

"I need you to drive."

"I can't believe you made me bring you here, to whatever this place is," Stiles said analyzing where the address brought us. It was an old abandoned train station just on the edge of town. It would make sense for Derek to come here since its abandoned and the cops wouldn't suspect it. "All for Derek, whom I guess is still alive," Stiles continued talking.

I quickly unbuckled my seatbelt as I stared at the building in front of me. "...who knows if we can even trust-what're you doing?" Stiles asked as I got out of his jeep. "Going inside," I said pointing to the building as if it wasn't obvious.

Stiles rolled his eyes and huffed getting out as well. "Well, I can't let you go alone I guess." I smiled to myself.

We walked up to the door before glancing at each other unsure. I slowly opened the door making it creak loud enough to wake the dead. There was a set of stairs that we walked down before entering where the trains use to run. The place was dim inside but still had some light from the outside.

"Derek?" I spoke as we slowly walked farther inside searching for any sight of him.

"Mia.."

I whipped my head to see Derek walking out of the shadows. I sighed in relief before running up to him. I jumped into his arms embracing him holding on as tight as I could. I took in his scent and all the worry had washed away.

"Thank god you're okay," I exclaimed. I glanced up at him to see him staring past me and at Stiles. I turned to look back at Stiles who was scratching his head. "I'll uh, give you guys a minute. I'll be over here," He said walking out.

"What's he doing here?"Derek asked with anger. "He was my ride, and we need your help," Derek widened his eyes at me. "They're the reason I'm wanted for murder," he seethed. "I know. What they did was wrong, believe me they've already been chewed out. So let me change that statement. I need help," I said in a pleading voice.

"But first," I said pulling him closer and planting a soft kiss on his lips. He smiled as he pulled away pressing his forehead onto mine.

"After I was attacked, I was able to heal. I went looking for you when I heard them yelling at you to wake up. I panicked and thought the Alpha...." he said closing his eyes and clenching his jaw. "It's okay, I'm okay," I reassured him.

"I ran in there as soon as they left the room you were in, and I saw you were safe. I knew you wouldn't be for long though, so I brought you home," he stated.

"Thank you," I said softly while smiling at this boy who just told me once again how he protected me.

"You're my weakness Mia."

I smiled pulling him into another kiss. My hands trailed down his back as his hand went to my neck, attempting to deepen the kiss. As he carefully placed his hand around the back of my neck I winced.

"Ow," I said pulling away and grabbing at my neck. I had forgotten what Scott had done.

"Mia," Derek said making me look up at him. His eyes were laced with fear, concern, and anger. He gently moved my hair from my neck and analyzed the claw marks. He eyes looked me over before flashing that bright baby blue.

"Who the hell did this?" He asked and I gulped.

"That's why I need your help. It's Scott," I said worried. "He's out of control and it's a full moon. We kinda fell out after he found out about us, then I tried to make up and he was a completely different person," I stated as Derek ran a hand through my hair.

"I'm scared," I said making Derek place a kiss on the top of my head.

"Let's go find him."
