We got back to school just in time for detention. I thought about what I would tell the others and decided I would just tell them that I'd forgiven them.

The rest of the school day went by in a blur. And before I knew it, they'd found me.

"So... I basically wanted to say that I forgive you for scaring me." I said in the best innocent tone I could muster.

They were all relieved to hear it.

"So where have you been?" Stiles asked still a bit concerned.

"Someone randomly helped. And since I know how to fight, I thought I'd follow him." I said.

"You just randomly followed someone?" Lydia asked disbelieving.

"I know how to fight." I said coldly and they got the message that I didn't wanted to talk about it anymore.

"Well, I'm happy that you're back. We were worried." Allison said with a smile that lightened the mood. Allison held her arms out and went in for a hug, Stiles and Lydia soon followed while Isaac and Scott stayed back. I stiffened up again and waited for it to be over. My heart began to go a bit faster by the closeness of these people and I began to panic.

I can't shift now!

I focused on my heartbeat and tried to keep it down.

"What's wrong?" Scott asked.

He'd obviously heart my heartbeat. His comment made the others step back which helped my heartbeat go down. They all stared at me with confused expressions.

"I uhm" I cleared my throat "I'm just not used to the whole group hug thingy."

Thankfully they accepted that answer. The others talked for some more. I kept on the background. The minutes passed and we got ready to leave.

Suddenly I noticed that I had to choose. Was I gonna go back with Stiles or Isaac? I really should go back with Isaac. I wanted to go back with Isaac. I wanted to go back to Derek. He was nice. I mean sure, he'd attacked me and also locked me in a room, but apparently that is normal here. I couldn't go with Isaac though... that would raise suspicion so I chose to leave with Stiles.

Isaac nodded that he understood and that he'd deliver the message. The others didn't notice it and I went to Stiles's jeep. 

I was a bit nervous because Scott was gonna be in the same car as me. Would he be able to smell me? Wow that sounded weird.

I calmed myself down and got in the car. Nothing weird happened. Stiles dropped Scott off and continued to drive. It got awkward pretty quickly. I knew that he wanted to know what I'd done in the whole day that I'd been gone but I didn't wanted to tell him.

As soon as we walked into the house he went to the kitchen. 

"What do ya wanna eat?" he asked.

"I'm fine."

He looked at me disapprovingly. "Liz, you don't eat breakfast and coach won't let you eat during a lunch detention. Believe me, I know."

I grabbed a banana from the table. "Fine."

He got something for himself and we went upstairs. The house felt for some reason a bit more distant then before. 

Stiles dropped in his chair while I sat on his bed.

"So no bullshit. Where have you been." he said desperate.

"Stiles..." I began but he cut me off.

"No Liz. Please! I was really worried about you!"

I thought about it for a second. I really wanted to trust Stiles. He'd been my first friend ever.

"Derek Hale helped me-"

"You need to stay away from him. He's dangerous." Stiles warned me with a hardened jaw.

I wanted to tell him everything. How Peter offered to turn me. How I said yes. I wanted to spill everything but apparently there was something wrong between them.

"Why?" I questioned.

Could it be because of the whole him being a werewolf thingy? But Scott is also a werewolf...

Stiles thought for a second but ended up saying "Just promise me that you'll stay away from him."

"Not until you give me some sort of answer. Why do people keep telling me to stay away from him? It's not like I told you that he's my boyfriend."

"He's your boyfriend?!" Stiles exclaimed.

"No stupid!"

We both glared at each other. I knew that Stiles was gonna tell it to Scott. I needed to tell Derek. He might get trouble for me saying that he helped me. I had no idea why they hated each other.

"I'm going for a walk." I stated but Stiles dashed in front of the door.

"You're going to Derek, aren't you?"

"Stiles. I was gonna go for a fucking walk. And are you gonna try to stop me?" I asked.

"Yeah, I think I can handle a girl like you."

"A girl like me?" 

"Yeah. Small, tiny, not heavy..."

"Thanks? But I'll still be able to outsmart you."

"I'd like to see you try." he said with a smirk.

I felt a breeze coming from behind me. I'd always done some sort of easy parkour so I figured that I would be able to land like a human.

I smirked at Stiles and ran for the window. It was open so I quickly climbed out.

"Liz?! That drop is way too high! You'll break your ankle!"

"I've done parkour. I'll be fine." I said and let myself fall.

Stiles muttered a quick oh my god as I hit the ground. I landed on my feet but felt a shock shooting up my leg. I cursed silently and stretched my foot. I'd definitely sprained or broken it.

"See? I'm fine!" I yelled back at Stiles. "I'll be back!"
