We had all heard what happened to Matt, he was found dead near a bridge. Drowned to death, such a watery grave. I do feel sorry for him though, Scott had told me about his past. How he drowned when he was a child, things like this could set anyone up for murder. 

I also heard what happened to Allison's mother, she had killed herself due to getting bit by an Alpha, aka Derek. They must have had a fight and she couldn't get away in time. Their hunter code did this to her, and my heart went out to Allison. We hadn't had contact lately as she's been dealing with her mother's death. But that was more my choice, to let her grief in her own way because I know what it's like to lose a mother...

We all had secrets to keep...


Derek had wanted me to come by the Hale house to talk to him about the whole Kanima and see if I can help him out in his research

Derek had wanted me to come by the Hale house to talk to him about the whole Kanima and see if I can help him out in his research. I didn't deny his request to help him, I needed the distraction from not having my magic back yet... I still was holding onto hope...

 I stood in the main room of the Hale House, Derek searching through books as I did the same. My red leather jacket around me, as I flipped the pages of an old book gave me. 

"You know this is pointless," I state to him as I slammed the book shut, as it held no real information as I turn to face the back of him. "There isn't going to be any new information on the Kanima in these old books," I held the book out as I went by his side and placed it on the table. 

"Keep looking," his strong, husky voice filled my ears as I turned my head to him.

"There's nothing in my books, why do you think their be any in yours?" I replied back to him, as he shut the current book and plucked a new one from the table.

"I just think there will be," he states as he opens the new book. I wasn't having it. I placed my hand on the book to stop him from reading it. As his head cocked to meet my gaze upon him, our eyes connecting like prey and predator. 

"Don't do this to yourself, Derek. I know too well what guilt is like," my eyes pleaded with his like we were at war. But he finally submitted, and sighed deeply as he placed the book back down. "Have hope that some sort of miracle presents itself... Because hope is all we have," 

Derek didn't say anything, and he didn't need too to know that I was honest about my answer. Before he could answer, he stood still in his place, our eyes locked onto one another. But we both heard Erica and Boyd enter the house. 

"You decided," Derek states, as he turns to face them, as I turn my head to their gaze. "When?" Though I didn't know what was happening right now, but I had a wild guest of what it was. 

"Tonight," Erica states, looking at Derek.

"Everyone's gonna be at the game... And we figured it was the best time," Boyd had pipped up, looking to Erica as they made the packed of leaving the pack.
