I drive to a stop in front of the loft. I quickly enter and run up the stairs to the door. I hear Peter grumbling and moving around. I slide the huge metal door open with ease.

And I walk in. "Peter? You come down yet?" I ask as I walk around the loft. Peter just struts down the stair and over to me and hands me the phone.

"You're giving me more trouble Stiles. I don't want your dad after me. What else do you need me to do about your freaky wolf." I bristled when he called 'it' freaky.

"It's not freaky, just different. Anyway, I was researching and I think my cousin is like me. So I was looking him up and the town he's in. Mystic falls; it's almost as bad as Beacon hills. Name wise and death rate wise." Both of us laugh at the name and sober up about how much death is in both small American towns.

"Anyway I was thinking when summer started I could go over and see what's up. And see if they could help after I explain a few things. But that's months away I was just gonna focus on buying bigger chains and fashioning something up in your old house." Peter nodded and said,

"I was planning on leaving Beacon Hills in a few weeks, hell that was my original goal once I left Eichen but I was stuck helping you." I was gonna say sorry but he just waves it off.

"It's fine I got to see one of your kind in action. And I know I can fight it pretty easily so I'll take it. Anyway, are you sure you should wait till summer, that's a lot of full moons." I nod, that is a lot of full moons but,

"My dad, he won't let me leave school, plus he's already pissed off at me. And you, sorry about that. I kinda blamed you, but I thought dropping the werewolf bomb would be even worse."

Peter nodded, "Yes, your little problem should be kept to yourself if you can help it. Your eyes still stay purple?" I shake my head, I learned to fix the problem, I prove it by flashing yellow eyes.

"Well, at least you can hide it. Though you better not blame me for biting you."

I nod, "Yeah no problem I don't plan to bring this up.

Peter moves to go make coffee. I didn't even know Derek had a kitchen in here.

"Are you leaving or you want some?" I thought about it, my dad's mad but coffee.

"Coffee I'll leave after. Here let me show some chains I was thinking about buying, give me your opinion." I say as I sit at the table, that Derek apparently bought. (Honestly, at this point I think Peter might've furnished it a little.) Peter looked over and scoffed,

"Amazon? Really?"

I looked up at his face, "Well I'm trying to conserve some money thanks. And don't scoff at Amazon."

Peter moved off to somewhere in Derek's loft and came back with a laptop, he opened it typed some stuff in and handed it to me, telling me,

"Shop on here. It's where my family bought them from. They should hold." I grabbed the laptop and was happy I didn't have to search like crazy for a credible offer. But I stopped at the prices, $500 for their lowest price.

"Peter I can't afford this website. I'll just go on Amazon." I sighed and opened a new tab. But Peter stopped me.

"Just get a chain that will last a while, I'll buy it." I looked up septical,

"Why?" I trust Peter enough but it's gonna be like a few thousand dollars. Peter's been nice but that seems to push it.

"You'll owe me. A favor, now that I know you can fight I'll borrow you once. So just buy your chains." I thought about it. And I really need the chains and I can fight now, so why not.

"Deal. But you better not make me do something stupid."

-Stiles bought $1500 worth of chains and now they are satisfyingly drinking coffee-

"Hey Peter I was curious, who do you think ratted to my dad?"

I ask as this has been going around in my head. Soon after the huge Eichen house break out Peter sought out Malia to see if she was okay. Malia told Scott and me that he had broken out. Scott was rushing to put him back in. But I told Scott he had saved me in Eichen when the riot broke out. I told him he saved me from getting shot, so Scott let him breaking out slide. Malia was cool with it if I was okay with it. Lydia said as long as Peter stays away from her she was okay with it. The kids of the pack didn't really know how dangerous Peter could be so they were oblivious. And Peter was just accepted back in.

"I mean Scott and Malia where there when I told them of the plan. Lydia helped me with coming up with the Plan. Everyone knew the boyfriend thing was a joke, I heard the bastards laughing at me when I said it in the first place. So I don't get it?"

Peter said something that made me pause,

"What about that annoying guy who you don't like Theo, you think he's trying to start something. You said you don't trust him."

I nod I forgot about him. I don't consider him a friend or pack so I forgot, stupid.

"You think he's gonna do something? What could he really do? I mean worse comes to worst I just tell my dad were friends, I mean we are so. Hmmm?" I wonder what Theo was trying to do.

"Maybe he knows your a werewolf?" I freeze.

"You think?" I don't want him to know that. Peter puts a hand on my shoulder,

"I said maybe, I could be wrong."

"Or you could be right. I have to talk to him, ugh I don't wanna." I grumble and put my head on the table.

"You want back up?" Peter asks as he drinks his coffee. I'm touched he offered but this is not gonna go well with me by myself so bringing Peter will just make it worse if it is really Theo telling my dad shit.

"No, I'm good, if he knows no need to hold the powers at bay right. And if he doesn't he'll underestimate me. I'm continuously coming out on top." Peter just shrugs and gets back to looking at something on his laptop after he took it back. I finished off the last bit of my coffee and stood.

"Well I would stay a bit more but I feel if I stay anymore my dads gonna track my phone and kill you so I'll leave. I guess I'll try to catch Theo alone tomorrow at school. See you, Peter." I wave as I slowly walk away out of the place. Peter just says goodbye and cleans up, I'm assuming going back to sleep, even after the coffee he still looked sleepy. Hmm, I wonder if the coffee has the same effect on werewolves as humans. I seem hyper but that could just be me. I'll test it later.

Anyway, I just jump into my jeep and head off to my house and my angry, pissed off, father. Yay. (sarcasm implied)
