Everyone Has Demons [Teen Wolf]

24

I sat on the couch and waited for everyone to leave. "Sorry about the mess."

"I guess you knew about this," Derek said.

"I just wanted to do something nice for Danny and everyone. It was fun until those things showed up."

He sat down next to me. "I may have killed the mood a little when I flipped over the DJ table."

I laughed. "That might have done it."

"You should have told me, I wouldn't have been mad."

"I was going to and then you started talking about going on an actual date and I got distracted, I am a girl after all."

He smiled. "Good to know I have that affect on you. But in the future give me some warning before you throw a party." He leaned in and kissed me. My phone rang and I pulled it out of my pocket, ready to snap at Stiles or Lydia for ruining the moment.

"It's Kira. I should take this." I walked upstairs and answered the call. "Hi."

"Hi," she said. "Scott told me, about everything."

"I knew he would. You aren't freaking out, are you?"

"No, I mean it's definitely all freak out worthy, but I'm totally calm. Are you going to school today?"

"Yeah, I guess. I should probably change clothes and wash this damn paint off." Kira laughed. "Why'd you call me?"

"I just wanted to say thank you for being nice to me, no one else really was. Scott told me about your sister and all of that. I think it's nice that you're starting over here. I want to do that too."

"Well, welcome to the club. You're in for a bumpy ride."

"I also had a question."

"Shoot."

"Why did you not ask for the bite after you turned human?"

I paused. "I'm still not sure that I'm not going to ask. I guess I'm just waiting to see how things go."

"You should probably make sure you're somewhere safe tonight," she said, changing the subject. "Just in case those things come after you."

"Why would they? Sounds like they were only marking the werewolves."

"And Lydia, it's all the supernatural things."

"Well there's nothing to worry about with me."

"Wouldn't being a witch count?" Kira asked.

"I don't know. I'm not any good at it. But if you're really that worried I'll make sure I'm with someone tonight."

"Alright. Well, I see you in class."

"Bye." I hung up and scratched at the paint. "Maybe I'll just bring body paint back into Vouge."

OoOoO

"Hey, Bates," Stiles said. "Sleep well?"

"Is that a joke? It took me an hour and a half to wash all that stupid paint off. I am on coffee number four and it isn't even ten yet." I looked him over. "You don't look so hot yourself." He put his arm around my shoulders and steered me down the hall towards history.

"Like you said, we didn't have a lot of time to sleep after all of that."

"You left the party early didn't you? You weren't with us at the end."

"Yeah, I did, but I still didn't get any sleep."

"More nightmares?" I asked. He shrugged. "Are you sure there's nothing else?"
