Keep Comin' Back For More

Derek moved through the throng of teenage bodies a scowl on his face. It hadn't taken him long to drive up to Lydia's grandmother's lake house. She'd texted him earlier when he was with Sheriff Stilinski and Deputy Parrish and he hadn't been able to get back to her right away. But now, she wasn't answering his calls and he was worried. Or he had been until he reached the lake house and saw the mess of teenagers milling about.

He had no idea why she felt like now was a good time to throw a party especially with everything going on. But Derek had stopped trying to figure Lydia out. He was convinced it was impossible. She was an enigma. He still had no idea what was going on with them even after they spent most of Saturday night wrapped up in each other. Okay, so he'd spent two hours making out with her on the couch at her house like the teenager he wasn't anymore. But they hadn't actually talked about what that meant. Not that they really had time to do that between all the odd events and the random deaths that were no longer so random.

Derek sighed as yet another teenager bumped into him. He lifted his hand and ran it over his face. There were way too many people here. It was uncomfortable, add in the fact that it was the night of the full moon and Derek was extremely tense.

"Derek?"

He paused at the sound of the familiar voice and turned slightly angling his head in the direction of the voice. He spotted Kira waving at him and shoving her way passed a few bodies to get to him. He watched the girl with mild amusement and arched an eyebrow when she paused in front of him.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" She asked curiously not sure if he was looking for Scott or something since Derek didn't seem like the type to party with teenagers...or at all.

"I'm looking for Lydia," he explained over the music, wincing slightly at how loud it was.

A look of surprise crossed Kira's face, "Oh, I'm looking for her too." She offered with a hesitant smile even while wondering why he was looking for Lydia.

Derek could see her curiosity, but he ignored it. If Lydia hadn't said anything about him he wasn't going to be the one to mention it. He glanced around and then shifted closer to Kira, "So, what's going on here?"

Kira bit her lower lip, "Uh, there was sort of an unexpected party...I think Lydia is kind of upset about it, but Liam called people and Scott's in the woods and I think Malia is trying not to eat Stiles in the basement...there's a lot going on," she explained in a rush of words.

Derek blinked, "What? Why is Scott in the woods? And did Lydia not want to have a party?" He asked confused. Sometimes when Kira spoke he felt like it took a little too much energy to keep up with her.

"Scott is trying to find Liam. He shifted and broke out of his chains," she whispered leaning into Derek, "But before that happened he told his friend we were having a party here because that's how we tricked him into coming. And then well..." she motioned around the room, "People showed up."

Derek frowned, "Wait, whose Lia-" his words cut off as realization hit. Liam had been the other person on the roof and apparently Scott had bitten him. He sighed. Tonight was definitely not a good night. "When is the last time you saw Lydia?" He asked.

Kira could see a myriad of emotions flash over Derek's face before they were gone and he was looking at her again with impatience. She tilted her head to the side contemplating the question. "Um, upstairs after she figured out the cipher code." She told him.

Derek nodded, "Okay, I'm going to go find Lydia, can you help me look for her? And then we can work on getting all these people out of here." he asked his gaze darting around the room again, "I need to talk to Scott, it's important." He said his tone serious.
