"It seems to me like you guys are insane! That stuff doesn't happen in the real world. You guys are just screwing with me and my head. If this is just some 'let's mess with the new girl' crap, it's not funny." I said, getting annoyed with everything. This had to be some kind of fever dream or prank.

"Skyla, look, I know you barely know us yet, but- ok, let me just show you." Derek said and I rolled my eyes at him. All I did was blink before I saw claws come out of Derek's hands and his face morphed into half wolf, half human. He growled and I jumped before running away.

I didn't get very far before I felt one hand over my mouth and another around my waist. I struggled in the persons grip as they ran, my feet were about six inches above the ground. After I realized struggling was getting me nowhere, I decided to bite the hand covering my mouth, my fangs came out, sinking into the persons hand, causing them to stop and put me down. I looked around and noticed I was in the woods again and then I turned to the person who had grabbed me, it was Derek.

"I think you've proved your point enough. You didn't have to borderline kidnap me!" I said, running my hands through my hair. "This is just too much for me right now."

"Ok, then we can meet up tomorrow once you get out of school and I can give you a supernatural lesson, maybe even some vampire training." Derek suggested, I just looked away and rolled my eyes.

"Fine." I said as I looked back at him.

I ran home, now I know this is a nightmare... it has to be and the next time I see Derek he'll barely recognize me because this whole day didn't happen. Once I got home I quickly ran up to my room and locked my door. I ran over to my mirror, getting a good look of myself. I mean, I don't look any different... not that it mattered, nothing happening right now is real anyways.

~~~~~~

That morning the first thing I did was check my phone. That's weird... it's the next day. I stared down at my phone, blinking a few times and wiping off the screen to make sure I was seeing correctly. I need a new one anyways.

After I finished getting ready I quickly checked myself in the mirror. I smiled, checking my gums a bit. This is dumb. I walked downstairs and my mom and sister were gone, but there was no food prepared, just the fruit bowl.

Once I got to school I saw Stiles in the hallway. So, he does actually go here? We made eye contact and he seemed a little scared of me and continued walking. I just kept going until I got to my locker.

"Hey Skyla, cute skirt!" I heard a girls voice say, I turned to my right, confused. The girl looked exactly like Allison from my dream.

"Oh... thanks!" I said, feeling slightly creeped out. I switched out my books before turning back to her. "Sorry, what's your name?"

"Allison... how could you forget? We spent all of lunch together and some of gym." She said, baffled. My face was full of confusion as I stared at her. "Are you ok? Do you have amnesia or something?"

"No... I, uh, a lot happened yesterday and I- I thought it was all some kind of fever dream." I said as I shut my locker. So, it's all real? Am I actually a vampire?

"Oh, yeah, Scott told me. They think you're a-" I cut her off by putting a finger up to my mouth.

"I'm still processing, ok? Wait- what do you know about this stuff?" I asked, lowering my voice and standing a bit closer to her.

"I, um... I can't talk about it here." She said, pointing out all the students around us. "Wanna meet up after school?"

"Oh, I can't, I'm doing something." I said, feeling bad for blowing her off for a guy I barely knew, but if yesterday really did happen, I didn't wanna ghost him. She looked like she was about to say something else, but the bell rang.

Once I got out of school I texted Derek asking where he wanted to meet. He texted back saying to just look for a black Camaro. As I walked down the steps of the school, there it was. He rolled down the window and turned his head to me slowly.

"Get in." He said, his voice sounding a bit deeper than normal. I walked over to the passengers side, getting in.

"Ah, right, because you couldn't kidnap me while Stiles was driving or with people around." I said as I buckled my seatbelt. He turned to me and gave me a bit of a look. I crossed my arms and looked straight ahead and I swear I could feel his eyes on me even though he had shades on.

"Here we are." Derek said as we reached the woods. He put the car in park before looking at me.

"The woods? Do you not have a super cool werewolf lair or something?" I asked, but he just ignored me and got out of the car. I took a minute to catch a grip on what was happening before getting out.

"Ok, we'll start off easy. Do you know how to fight at all?" He asked me.

"Um, yeah, I've taken a couple self defense classes, but it's been a bit." I said, he started walking further into the woods so, I followed him.

"Did you, uh, bring a change of clothes?" He asked, I looked down at my plaid skirt, which he was staring directly at and started silently cursing myself, simply shaking my head 'no'.

First we went over how to control my powers which took a bit because I didn't even know how to access them yet. Now, we were working a bit on how to fight. He let me throw a few punches at him so I could figure out how to catch them.

"You ready? I'll try not to punch you too hard." He said, I nodded my head at him and then he threw the first punch. I grabbed it quickly and looked at him for his approval, but all he did was stare.

I took my hand off of his fist and he opened his hand, using it to tuck a strand of loose hair behind my ear. We just sat there and stared at each other, he got closer to me and I backed away, we kept going until my back hit a tree. He stepped closer to me, his body and face mere inches away from me. Next thing I knew he was leaning in, but I didn't wanna stop him. Our lips met, it started out gentle until we eased into it. I jumped and wrapped my legs around his torso, my hands gripping his hair, his hands gripping my thighs. He moved his lips down to my neck, kissing down it softly and I could feel his hands traveling up. Once he was half way up my thigh, I stopped him.

"Derek, I can't do this. We've only known each other for two days." I said as I jumped down from his grip. I could still feel the sensation of his hands on my thighs.

"Yeah, you- you're right. Meet up again tomorrow? You know, for training?" He said and I just nodded my head. I felt like I could still feel him on me even when I walked away. What is this man doing to me?
