Scott opened the door into the apartment and was greeted by Derek who was working out in the corner of the room, Peter and Vicky were on the sofa, he stood slightly awkwardly in the middle of the room. "Are you going to stand the whole time or you going to sit, Scott?" Peter asked sarcastically, not looking up from his book.

Vicky had finally realised that Scott was in the room and got off the sofa, she smiled at the teen, "Scotty, what brings you here?"

"There was something I was going to ask you, about today" he said, his eyes flitting towards Derek when he saw he had tensed up.

Vicky rolled her eyes and sighed. "Yup, how about we go for a walk Scott?"

Scott noticed the tension and nodded. They made their way out the building and walking aimlessly down the road. "What's the question?"

"You know that your eyes changed colour, why didn't you tell us?"

Vicky tried to look shocked, she opened her mouth when Scott intervened, "don't even try to deny it, there's been something different about you these last couple of weeks" he said, "since just after the alpha pack"

The blonde sighed and brushed her hair out of her face, "you know, knowledge is power" she said, "and too much power is dangerous" she looked at Scott, "I quizzed Deaton a while back, I knew he knew more than he let on; indigos can change their status, similar to werewolves"

The teens sat down on a bench, Vicky pulled at a torn nail, "and to get that status most people have to kill another indigo to achieve this"

"Nathan" Scott muttered

"Yeah, he's only so powerful because he's killed so many of our people" she grit her teeth, "and then there's the lucky ones who have this additional power they unlock somehow, they don't need to kill to increase their status"

"Oh, like a true alpha"

"Exactly like a true alpha" Vicky replied, "and there's enough evidence to point out that I am the latter; aren't I lucky" she smiled slightly, her eyes didn't light up. "sounds like were going to make a great pair Scotty" the smile reached her eyes this time

Scott smiled back until he heard a rustling down the street, both teens heads snapped towards that location, "see anything?"

"Nah" Vicky replied, her eyes flashed the slightly darker purple, "you?"

"Probably just an animal" Scott said, he looked at Vicky who was still in a stiff pose, "Vick- "he got cut short by a scream from where the rustling was, they both ran over to the location.

"There's nothing here" Scott pointed out, "no sign of anything" he retracted his claws.

"You're wrong" Vicky replied, "here" she pointed at a patch of grass coated in blood, "follow the blood stained grass?" she led the way, they walked in silence until they came to a clearing, the body of a blonde lay in the middle, the teens rushed over. Vicky touched the girl's neck, "pulse, weak, but its there" she said, "ring Stiles and get his dad to come down" she turned around and couldn't see Scott.

"Scott?" she called, while assessing the unconscious woman's wounds, a single stab wound to the stomach. She pulled off her jacket and pressed it against her stomach, to try and stem the blood flow; she grabbed the woman's arms and lay them on top of the jacket. "Scott?" she asked as she felt someone behind her.

"I've called Stiles, he's bringing his dad, and paramedics" Scott said, slightly stiffly.

"What's wrong?" Vicky asked, sensing the tone change

"Well, it might not be directed at me" Vicky looked at the graffiti on the tree

"R.I.P V.M" Stiles read out each letter, "hmm, who has the initials VM I wonder, Scott?"

Vicky gave the teen a stern look, "we need to get rid of the evidence before either of your dads see this" she grabbed the knife out of her boot and started stripping the bark around the letters V M.

"What's this?" Sheriff Stilinski walked around to the three teens and saw Vicky hugging the tree, "are you adding or removing graffiti?" his hands on his hips

"Removing" Vicky replied, she pulled off the bark and snapped it into two before throwing it on what remained of the small campfire. "It's just some obscene lettering, thought id remove it for you"

"Well isn't that kind" the Sheriff replied, he looked at the three teens, "this woman is seriously injured, any idea who was here or what happened?"

"No, we got here after the was stabbed, whoever done it left in a hurry" Vicky said

"Took time out of their day to spray this though" the older Stilinski reported, "Vicky"

"Sheriff, honestly its nothing to worry about" she said quickly, noticing all the others open their mouths, "please, for me"

Stilinski fought an internal battle, he looked at Vicky in a fatherly fashion, "if you promise to call me if you come across this guy"

"Yep" Vicky replied, "thank you sheriff"
