After that night I was EXHAUSTED! I got in the shower, then realized that I didn't have any clothes of my own to wear. It was 21:30, and I got out of the shower putting on some of Spencer's clothes and deodorant, then asking Spencer what he was making us dinner.

"Well, that depends" he said. "What do you want?" he asked me in return looking back at me with a giant smile. He asked me what I wanted three more times after that before I finally answered.

"Macaroni and Cheese with Smoked Sausage." I say to him after being asked about 4-5 more times. "It's my favorite."

"I never knew that. Why didn't you tell me that sooner?" Spencer had a confused look on his face as he asked me that question. "I've always wanted to know, but I could never think of the right time to ask you."

"Never crossed my mind to tell you, and why didn't you ever ask me? I have a thing for asking and answering odd and weird questions. It comes easily and the answer or question comes almost instantly..." I say as I look down, a bit embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" He looks at me, and raises my head up as he does so. "Why are you so embarrassed by that? Sometimes it's a good thing that you ask questions like that. You could become a cop, and then you could be the one that asks all of the weird questions that no one else wants to ask."

"Really? You think so? I mean, I think that it would be awesome that I would be able to do that,"

"Of course I think that Princess. You are my baby, and you can do anything that you set your mind to."

"God! This is why I love you! You make me feel like I can accomplish anything when I'm around you." I look up, and look into his eyes. He brings my head up to his, and kisses me passionately. He smiles and asks me if I needed anything. "No, I'm okay for now. But thanks for asking babe. I think that I just want to go lay down, I don't feel very well at the moment." I say as I go to lay down on the couch. He comes over to me and looks at me curiously.

"But you were fine earlier...Was it something that I did? Something that I said? I need to know!" He said to me as I turned away from him, and curled myself into a ball on the couch. "What's wrong boo? I need to know what's wrong with my baby girl." He says to me as I pull a blanket up on top of me.

"It's fine. I'm okay. Really..." Just then, there was a knock on the door, and guess who was there... It was Derek. "What do you want Derek?" I ask as he comes through the door. "I'm not in the mood for you and Spencer to fight right now. I don't feel well, and I don't want to have to break up a fight between you two." I say as I roll over to face them.

"Don't worry. I'm not here to fight with your boyfriend about you, or vice versa. But we do have a problem." He says as he faces me and looks at me. "Wait...Why are you wearing Spencer's clothes? Wait, don't answer that..." he says as he closes the door behind him as he walks in. "I'm going to need your help with a problem involving Sam. She's gotten herself in a bit of a predicament." He starts to say as he walks over to sit by me on the couch. He asks me if I can help him find Sam, and I asked him why again. "Well...She seems to have run away with a VERY dangerous alpha werewolf. She has no idea what he is capable of. She does seem to know him rather well though." I look at Spencer and curse.

"By the Angel! What is wrong with that girl!? She does know who he is, and she's been dating him for the past like day. She's out of her mind!" I look at Spencer, and he comes over to me. He looks at me and then gets up, and gets out some giant blades. "Whoa whoa whoa. Why do you have those?" I ask him as I sit up quickly, and lay back down just as quick.

"These are my blades. I've had them since 'The Mortal Instruments' books were published. I love to read."

"I LOVE THOSE BOOKS!! I didn't know that you read those books too!" I say to him in a rather loud voice.

"Can we please get back on topic here?!" Derek asks us as Spencer and I break out into laughter. "I get it! It's nerd love! But can we please focus on Sam here?" Derek yells at us.

"Why do you care? Do you like her?!" I ask Derek. "If anyone should care that much, it should be me.

"Well, maybe if you did care like I did, then you wouldn't be here, and in Spencer's clothes to be honest."

"Look, I never wanted this life. You and dad brought me into this, and I don't want to be a part of it. I just want to be a normal teenage girl. Have a boyfriend, have real friends, have her first kiss, have sex with my boyfriend, make bad decisions, and maybe even try a bit of weed. I want to be NORMAL! Now I know why you and dad always kept what you were doing from me. I want to be a normal person, and I want to be able to be a nerd with whoever I please and to know that I won't be interrupted by random, people that I don't even know."

"I know that you want a normal life, but that is not what you're going to have now. Since Sam is missing, and you seem to be that only person that knows where she might have went, I need you to help me." Just as he finished saying that he needed my help, a werewolf came running into the house.

"I'm Emma. I lead a pack of werewolves in the eastern part of Iowa. Andy and I used to date. I've been tracking him since the day he left me."
