As I was about to walk through the double doors of the hospital to leave, I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to see a nurse standing behind me.

"Hey Marisa, your Aunt Melissa needs to see you before you leave. She's on the second floor."

"Umm.. Okay, thank you." I said and the nurse turned and left. I made my way towards the elevators yet again to see what Aunt Mel wanted. As I exited the elevator and rounded the corner I bumped right into her. "I'm so sorry Aunt Melissa, I didn't see you."

"It's okay Marisa, it happens."

"One of the nurses said that you needed to see me."

"Yes, I did. I wanted to see if you would come over for dinner tonight? I mean, I haven't seen you since you graduated high school. I just thought that we could catch up and see how you were doing. But if you don't want too, we can--"

"No, that would be great. I'd love too."

"Okay great."

"So what time should I be there?"

"Say at around eight."

"Okay I'll be there. I have to go, I'm suppose to meet Scotty."

"Okay, I'll see you tonight."

We said our good-byes and I left. I went straight to my car in the parking lot, when my phone started to ring. "Hello?"

"Marisa, where are you?" Scott asked frustrated.

"Sorry but I was called back into the hospital because your mother needed to talk to me. But I'm in my car and I'm pulling out of the hospital now. I should be there in twenty."

"Okay, I'll see you when you get here."

"Okay bye."

As I pulled up to the half burnt down house that used to be my home away from home, I got this erie feeling like I shouldn't be here. But I ignored it and got out of my car. I slowly but surely walked to the porch and up the stairs towards the front door.
As I reached for the door handle, I heard a scream coming from inside the house. I kicked open the door and saw Derek with a blowtorch in hand, Scott passed out, and Stiles who looked like he was about to pass out.

"What in the hell is going on in here, and why do you have a blowtorch?!"

"Scott got a tattoo but it healed and he asked me to fix it, so I did." Derek explained the situation to me. As I took a look around, I noticed a boy lying on a table in the far back corner of the room, and Peter who was sitting in a chair smirking away.

"Oh, so this is funny to you, Peter?"

"A little." He said laughing.

"Oh, shut up, Peter!" But that only made him laugh more. I couldn't help the growl that escaped my lips, but as soon as it did, Peter stopped laughing and shrank down into his chair out of fear. "Who is he?" I asked as I pointed towards the unconscious boy in the corner.

"That's Isaac. He's member of my pack." Derek explained to me, sort of.

"What happened to him?" I asked feeling concerned for him, for some reason. Derek kind of froze up for a moment.

"It's okay, Derek, she knows about the Alpha pack." Peter explained to a confused Derek. When he didn't say anything, I started to explain to him.

"Deucalion and his pack visited me in San Diego, about two months ago, wanting me to join their pathetic excuse for a pack. But I declined and had them running away with their tails between their legs. And when I found out that they were coming here, well, that's when I decided to move back. To give a helping hand, if I may."

Derek shook his head as if accepting my help, and then said "I don't know what happened to him." Referring towards Isaac. "But I plan on finding out as soon as he wakes up." All of a sudden there was a gasp coming from behind me and I noticed Scotty had woken up.

He looked down at his left arm and said in amazement "It worked."

"Well, it looks pretty damn permanent now." Stiles said as he and Scott walked towards the front door ready to leave.

"Yeah." Scott said as he rubbed his permanently new tattoo on his arm. "I kinda needed something permanent. After everything that has happened to us. Everything just changes so fast. Everything is so... ephemeral."

"Studying for the PSAT's?" Stiles asked curiously.

"Yep." was all Scotty had to say.

"Nice." Stiles added. Scott opened the door ready to leave but stopped. He noticed that there was something different about it and so did I. The front of the door was painted different from the back.

"You painted the door." Scotty said.

"Why is the door painted different?" I asked Peter, whom was standing next to me by the stairs.

"Because it bares the triskelion mark of the Alpha's." He whispered low enough for me to hear, but not Scott.

"Why'd you paint the door?" Scotty questioned Derek.

"Go home, Scott." Derek said not wanting to get into that conversation.

"And why only one side?" Scott asked looking confused. He then flicked out his claws and started to scratch up the door to figure out why.

"Scott..." Derek started as he went to stop him, but just stood next to Peter and I as we watched him continue to scratch the paint off of the door.

When Scott was done you could see the Alpha's triskelion mark on the door. "The birds at school and the deer last night. Just like the night I got trampled by the deer... when I got bit by the Alpha" Scotty paused looking directly into Derek's eyes. "How many are there?" He asked Derek with a stern look on his face.

"A pack of them. An Alpha pack." Derek said with a sigh.

"All of them. How does that even work?" Stiles asked.

Derek was about to say something but paused, so I stepped in and explained. "They have a leader who goes by the name, Deucalion."

"We know they have Boyd and Erica. Peter, Isaac, and I have been looking for them for the last four months." Derek stated, but I had no clue who he was talking about.

"So you find them. How do you deal with an Alpha pack?" Scott asked Derek curiously.

With all the help I can get." Derek said as he looked around the room at everyone.

"Where is she?" The boy known as Isaac spoke up. "Where's the girl?"

Sorry for a late update but I finally had the chance to post it. I've had a hell of a week, well, month actually. Work has been rough and I wasn't able to post, but it's up and now all I have to worry with is finishing the chapter I'm writing for Gilbert Twins and My Return to Mystic Falls.

I hope that you enjoy this chapter and I hope to have the next one up by next week.

And remember I DON'T OWN Teen Wolf or any of the characters on the show. Just the ones I create for my readers and my own enjoyment.
