We drove to my house in Stiles' Jeep. After reaching it, he turned off the jeep and him, Scott, and I hopped out, heading for the front door. I tried to open the door but it's locked. Mom's probably at work.

I pull a key out of a flowerpot on a table by my front door. I don't really care if they see it, I mean what if one day they need to get into my house but it's locked. See, I think things through.

I unlock the door and step through, stiles and scott following close behind. There is an orange shadow hanging over the wooden floors in my house, as the setting sun shines, just before blinking out for the night. Okay damn that sounded poetic.

"My mom isn't home yet so let's get my object thingy to give to you," I nod at scott,"and then we can discuss our plan to find this eve person." I smile and start to climb my carpeted stairs up to my room. It's clean which somehow surprises me but at the same time amuses me. I'm such a clean freak I organize post-death-of-my-best-friend.

I reach my bedside table and open up the drawer. Looking inside, I see my headphones, my little diary that I almost never write in, and a small silver ring. I reach for the ring and pull it out. Fresh tears are brought to my eyes as I think of how I came to receive the ring.

It is encrusted with amicorum which is Latin for "best friends". Allison got it for me for the first birthday I shared with her. Although I was sorta crazy, putting wolfsbane in the punch and resurrecting Peter from the dead, I have held the ring dear to my heart ever since receiving it from her.

I close my eyes and take a deep breath, before turning, opening my eyes, and looking at Scott. "Here. This is the most important object I possess. If anything happens to it, I will scream so loud that you'll lose your stupid werehearing so you better be careful." I state calmly as I hand him the silver band. Stiles is standing next to him, looking at me worriedly seeing my pained expression.

I offered a small smile and he smiles back. "Now what are we gonna do about eve?" I asked, turning my head back to scott.

"I think we should have a pack meeting." He says after a few seconds. "I can call... Kira... And um I think Malia should join the pack..." I hear the pain in his voice as he says Kira's name. He abandoned her when Alli died.

Stiles and I both nod at his idea and he gets out his phone before going to stand out in the hallway. I turn back to stiles who is now in front of me. "I'm gonna uh go take a shower and get ready." I smile and walk over to my closet, pulling out a pink skater skirt and a loose floral top. I turn back to stiles and see that he's not there. Probably went to go talk to scott. Whatever. I grab my undergarments and a robe and enter the bathroom.

After the shower I get out and brush my teeth. I get dressed and pull my hair to the side in a messy wet braid. After putting on some light mascara, some bb cream, and pink lipgloss, I walk out and go to my closet once more to grab a pair of nude flats that I slip on before grabbing my purse and leaving my room. I pad down the stairs and hear Scott and Stiles in the kitchen. I turn the corner and enter.

"Ready to go?" I ask, but once I'm in the kitchen, I realize how long it's been since I ate and kind of sprint to the pantry to grab something. Seeing my options, I grab a bag of lays and close the pantry, turning back around to see scott and stiles holding back from laughing.

"What!? I haven't eaten in like a day!" I shout back at them stunned faces and start to walk out of the kitchen. They crack up laughing at my burst out. My cheeks heat up and I head towards the front door. "I'll be in the jeep when you guys are done laughing your asses off." I shouted as I left, starting to open the bag of chips. I look into the bag and there are like 4 chips. Oh yeah, it's a bag of air. Great.
