        When Stiles did not pick up, Dani immediately called Scott.

She paced in her bathroom in a towel, running a hand through her curls as she waited for Scott to answer.

"Hello?"

"Scott," Dani breathed out, "the bite. It's gone. Does that mean..."

He was silent for a moment. "That you're a werewolf? Uh..."

Dani stopped walking and shrunk down on the toilet, bringing a hand to her forehead.

"Scott, what am I gonna do?" she asked, tears brimming her eyes. The realization was finally hitting Dani, and the feeling of fear was sinking in.

He went quiet again, trying to think of something to say. Dani sniffled, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Okay, you know what? I'll be there in a little while. Just don't leave your house, alright?"

Dani knit her brows. "What– why?"

Scott paused. "I'm gonna show you everything you need to know about being a werewolf."

She blinked, wiping a tear from her face as she sat up a little straighter.

"Like– right now?"

"Right now," Scott replied, Dani chewing her inner lip. "See you in thirty?"

"I-I– yeah. Okay," Dani agreed, somewhat perplexed.

Scott laughed a little. "Okay. See you."

He hung up, Dani bringing her phone away from her ear and staring at it, bewildered at the conversation they had just had. She couldn't believe Scott was so willing to drop everything and come help her.

After taking her shower, Dani got dressed in some comfortable clothing and texted Lydia. She wanted to call but did not know if she was up for chatting, so she supposed a simple text would suffice. And she knew that Lydia preferred texting anyway.

She hoped Lydia responded, because they had a lot to catch up on.
