"So you killed her?" Stiles asked bluntly as they made their way through the hallway. It was the Monday back to school and the day before Scott's big date with Allison. Lily wasn't sure how she felt about the fact that her life literally seemed to revolve around Scott's timetable as of now, but there wasn't really much she could do about it with everything that was going on lately.

Scott sighed in response to Stiles' question, replying, "I don't know. I just woke up and I was sweating like crazy and I couldn't breathe." Lily scrunched her nose up at his statement, her mind drifting to other kinds of dreams where boys wake up like that. She felt instantly scarred, resisting the urge to gag as Scott continued telling them, "I've never had a dream where I woke up like that before."

"Really? I have," Stiles smirked, "Usually ends a little differently-"

"-stop," Lily grimaced, "Stop talking now."

"I've never had a dream that felt that real before," Scott frowned.

"I've never been more grossed out," Lily added, causing Scott to chuckle slightly and her brother to simply ignore her, continuing trying to talk to Scott about his dream. She already knew what Stiles was thinking because she was thinking it too. What if the dream was a sign that he was going to lose control on his date with Allison? Lily couldn't ever imagine Scott hurting her - or even a fly - but it had to be something they considered.

"Let me take a guess here-" Stiles began.

"-no, I know, you think it has something to do with me going out with Allison tomorrow, like I'm gonna lose control and rip her throat out."

"No, of course not," Stiles shook his head.

Lily snorted, rolling her eyes, "He's lying, that's definitely what he was going to guess." Stiles sent her a tiny glare before redirecting his attention back to Scott, hoping to cheer the boy up who was now obviously very anxious about his date with Allison. Lily had never seen Scott behave this way over a girl before and it was really odd but also slightly entertaining at the same time.

"Hey, come on, it's gonna be fine, all right?" Stiles told Scott, "Personally, I think you're handling this pretty freakin' amazingly. You know, it's not like there's a lycanthropy for beginner's class you can take."

"Actually," Lily smirked, "There is. I found it online when I was researching werewolves but I wouldn't go looking for it if I were you - one of their requirements for participation is the drinking of rabbit blood."

"Ugh," Stiles frowned while Scott just gave Lily a confused look.

Rolling her eyes, she continued, "I wish I could say I was kidding. Anyways, that's not the point, Stiles is right, you're doing great. After all, you haven't killed anyone yet."

"Yeah but what if I do? Maybe there's not a class but there's a teacher," Scott suggested. Lily's mind flashed with Derek Hale - annoyingly it wasn't the first time - wondering if he could ever mentor Scott and help him. She felt like he'd never have the patience for that kind of thing as he was very angry man but maybe hanging around with Scott - who was the best guy there could be - would rub off on him.

"Who, Derek? Are you forgetting the part where we got him tossed in jail?" Stiles scoffed.

"He's got a point," Lily shrugged, pushing open the door to step outside.

"Yeah, I know, but chasing her, dragging her to the back of the bus," Scott paused for a moment before sighing, "It felt so real."

Lily's eyes were wide as she took in the sight before her, the police surrounding a school bus with claw marks and blood covering it. Her mouth was slightly parted as she wondered if Scott maybe really had done what he'd dreamt. Maybe it wasn't a dream but a memory. She hoped to god not. "How real?" she breathed, eyes still on the bus.
