As I'm getting out of Stiles' jeep, Jackson & Allison are walking by.

"You look amazing, Em." She says hugging me.

"You too." I say getting a good look at her. Lydia walks over & grabs Stiles arm. I give him a questioning look, but he doesn't say anything.

"Jackson..." She says looking at him, "you look..handsome."

"Duh." He says grabbing Allison & walking into the school.

"A word, Stiles." I say grabbing him. I pull him behind the jeep.

"What's going on? You're MY date, not Lydias. You're MY boyfriend."

"I have to keep an eye on her..& Allison. We are gonna be together....but-" "Wow, I was totally right.. You still are into her." I say shaking my head. I walk away from him & go into the school. I immediately go into the bathroom.

"I like your dress." Some girl that's in the bathroom says to me.

Smiling, I thank her & she leaves.

I stay there for a while, then decide to call my brother. I go out to the parking lot & call him.

"Jackson! Jackson!" I hear a female voice say. It's Lydia, but why is she calling for Jackson?  "Have you seen him?" She asks coming over to me. I just shake my head.

My brother decides, of all nights, to not pick up.

Great. Nice on Travis Clark.

I groan, & before I'm about to call a cab, my phone rings. It's Stiles.

"What?!" I ask, very peeved at the moment.

"Where are you???!! You need to find me right now & don't go outside! It's-" But before he could finish, the field lights turn on.

"Jackson? Is that you?" Lydia yells. There's a figure running towards us but I can't see who. I look at my phone & the lines dead.

"Ember! Lydia! Run!!!!!" The figure yells. It's Stiles.

"Stiles!" I yell back. I have no idea what the hell is going on & why is it too dangerous to be outside a freak in dance?? My first instinct is to run towards him, but don't. I'm paralyzed. I can't move..or say anything..

Some say it's because of fear...but that's the thing, what am I supposed to be afraid of?

I see a man in a trench coat grab Lydia. Then hear a growl

Yes, a growl. Like a freaking animal growl!!! He bites her, making blood go everywhere. I let out a blood curdling screaming, fucking bloody murder for heaven's sake. She falls to the ground & I run to her.

"No!" I hear Stiles yell, grabbing me.

"We have to help her! We have to help her!!" I yell crying.

"No, Em! Listen to me," He says giving me his keys. "Get out of here now! And call Scott! Call Scott!" 

"I don't wanna le-" He cuts me off by kissing me.

"I love you, okay? You just can't be here right now." He yells pushing me away.

"Tell me where Derek is." The man in the trench coat says as I'm slowly walking away.

"I don't know! How am I supposed to know that??!"

"Tell me, or I'll rip this one apart." He says pointing to Lydia. His fingers..they look like they have claws.

"Please, please don't hurt her. I swear to god I don't know

" Stiles pleads.

"Tell me!" The man yells.

"Okay...I think he knew." Stiles says calming down.

"Knew what?"

"He was going to get caught." Stiles says moving closer.

"By the Argents?" The man asks.

Argents? Allison's family? What does he mean by 'caught'? I knew Stiles was hiding stuff from me! What the hell does Allison's parents have to do with this? Or her family at that?

"Yes."

"And?"

"I think they took Scott's phone. There's a GPS on it so you can find him."  Stiles says.

"You're coming with me." The man says to Stiles.

"No!" He objects.

"You don't have a choice here..I can kill your friend." The man says pointing to Lydia.

"Just kill me! I don't even care anymore!" Stiles yells.

"Call your friend," The man says to me. I think Stiles thought I was gone, cuz when he looks at me..his eyes grow wide. "Call Jackson & tell him where you are"

"Do it, Em. Then go take my car & drive him. I'll explain-" "I don't think I can trust you anymore.." I say backing away. I run to his car & call Jackson. He says he's on his way. I go & sit in the car. I can't believe what I've just seen. There's something...not right here. That man actually bit Lydia..& he had claws.

He's been lying to me throughout this whole relationship. Shaking my head, I turn the car on & head home.

When I get there, I go inside & Travis immediately comes to me.

"You look terrible! What the hell happened?!" He says. I can't help it, I have a mental break down.  He hugs me & let's me cry...not saying anything.
