"It's not like the last full moon. I don't feel the same." Scott says to his best friend worry lacing his voice.
"Oh, does that include the urge to maim and kill people like me?" Stiles snaps back sarcasm heavy in his voice.
"I swear I don't have the urge to maim and kill you."
"You know, you say that now but then the full moon goes up and out come the fangs and the claws and there's a lot of howling and screaming and running everywhere, okay? And it's very stressful on me and so yes, I'm still locking you up."
"Okay, fine. But I do think I'm in more control now. Especially since things are good with Allison."
"Okay, I'm aware of how good things are with Allison." Not wanting to hear his love struck best friend fawn over the brunette anymore.
"They're really good."
"I - thank you, I know."
"I mean, like, really good." Scott says dreamily.
"All right, I get it! Just please shut the hell up before I have the urge to maim and kill myself." Stiles snaps fed up.
"All right, did you get something better than handcuffs this time?"
"Yeah, much better." Stiles says as he opens his locker causing the chains to drop the floor, rattling causing everyone in the locker room to turn and look at them.
"Part of me wants to ask. The other part says knowing will be more disturbing than anything I could ever imagine. So - I'm gonna walk away." Coach says caution and a slight hint of disgust lacing his voice.
"That's good. That's a wise choice, coach." Stiles says pointing at his coach as he walks away.
"You okay? Scott." Stiles says noticing his best friends change in behaviour.
"There's another. In here, right now." Scott says looking at his best friend, eyes wide.
"Another what?" Stiles asks cluelessly.
"Another werewolf."

"You really don't remember anything?" Allison asks her best friend concern heavy in her voice.
"They called it a fugue state, which is basically a way of saying "We have no idea why you can't remember running through the woods naked for two days." All remember is that girl Nora helping me find my way out to the police cars. But personally, I don't care. I lost nine pounds." Lydia says trying to seem as nonchalant as possible. The two girls turn when they hear the clicking of heels sound behind them and come face to face with Nora a rare smile on her face.
"Lydia don't you look darling, that's good color on you." Nora says smiling at the two girls.
"Thankyou Nora and while we are dolling out compliments those shoes are to die for." Lydia praises glad that the blonde hadn't treated her like a freak even after staying with her at the hospital.
"Well they were the last pair at the store, so someone might have. I got into a blackout frenzy when shopping, no one is safe." Nora says back amusement in her voice.
"Are you ready for this?" Allison asks a smile still on her face after watching the girls exchange.
"Please. It's not like my aunt's a serial killer." Lydia says tossing her hair over her shoulder strutting into the school not noticing the smile fall off Allison's face. Nora pats Allison on the back giving her a sympathetic smile before walking through the doors, and bumping into a fear stricken Lydia.
Allison leans over and whispers in her best friends ear, a smirk on her pretty face.
"Maybe it's the nine pounds." Causing Lydia to snap out of her stupor toss her hair and strut down the hallway, the crowd of teenagers parting like the read sea.
Nora turns to Allison an apologetic look adorning her pretty face.
"Look Allison, I'm really sorry about showing up at Kate's funeral like that. It wasn't right of me and I shouldn't have-" Allison cuts the blonde off holding up a hand.
"It's okay Nora I know you wouldn't have done it if you had any other way of making a statement, I mean you should've heard my dad rambling on and on. I thought he was gonna move us away from Beacon, my mom actually suggested it. They are terrified of you." Allison says the last line with a scoff looking at the 5'8 blonde before her. Allison looks at the blonde next to her apprehension crossing her face as she speaks.
"Did you really do all those things they said? Can you do all those things? I mean Nora I didn't even think that...your kind were real. I mean Nora what they said, what you are, that's more powerful than Derek and Scott combined." Allison said in awe.
"Yeah it's a lot... I still have trouble wrapping my head around it." Nora says a fake smile on her face.
"Where are your parents anyway? I didn't see them with you making a statement.". A smile on her face, not realising the gravity of this question.
"Dead. Like super dead."
"Oh god Nora! I'm so sorry I shouldn't have-" Nora interrupts Allison's apologies holding up a hand to silence her.
"It's okay Allison really, it might sound horrible but we weren't close. My dad was always focused on his business and the coven and gaining more power, my mother was a Russian ballerina turned homemaker turned coven leader turned all around power mad crazy bitch. It's really okay Ali." Nora says looking to the girl who still bore a sad smile on her face.
"Even if you lose someone completely nuts it's still doesn't make it hurt any less." Allison says giving Nora one more sad smile before walking to her class. Not seeing Nora shut her locker and slam her head against it, holding back tears.
