   I wake up to the sound of fighting going on down stairs. I got out of bed and ran down the stairs to see Ethan get thrown across the room in front of him. I looked over and saw Aiden. I groaned and stepped out making myself known. I stood between to twins and crossed my arms looking at them both.        
        "What the hell are you two doing?" I asked raising my eyebrows.
        "Chill, we're practicing." Aiden said walking towards me.
        "You're practicing inside at," I paused and looked at the clock hanging on the wall. "seven o'clock in the morning on a Saturday?" I questioned. Ethan moved from behind me and stood beside Aiden in front of me. 
        "Exactly." Aiden smirked. I rolled my eyes and walked upstairs. Once I got to my room I grabbed my stuff for a shower and put my iPod on its iHome and put my iPod on shuffle. I went into my bathroom and took my shower singing along with my iPod. I heard someone knock on the bathroom door. 
        "Yeah?" I called to the person standing on the other side of the door. 
        "Aiden and I were curious on what you're doing today." Ethan called to me.
        "I was going to hang out with Scott and Stiles today. I was gonna see if Derek could give me a tattoo." I called back.
        "You want a tattoo?" Ethan called.
        "Yeah. I always wanted one but didn't know how I could get one, then I saw Scott's and he told me how he got it." I replied as I turned off the shower. I got out grabbing a towel and wrapping it around me and drying my hair with a different one. 
        "Well that makes sense I guess." Ethan called back. I put on my undergarments and opened the bathroom door letting Ethan come in. 
        "Yeah. What did you guys have in mind?" I questioned taking out my hair dryer. 
        "We were just wanting to know if you wanted to go hang out with us and Kali." Ethan said. 
        "Sure, later tonight?" I questioned looking at him. He smiled and nodded.
        "Sounds good." he said. "I'll let you get back to getting dressed and what not." he said walking out the door. I smiled at him and dried my hair. When I was done I walked into my room and got dressed in the clothes I had laying on my bed. I grabbed the picture I want as a tattoo and walked downstairs. I saw the twins sitting on the couch watching South Park. 
        "Alright, I'll be back later. I'll text you guys when I'm done." I said grabbing my jacket and putting it on. 
        "Okay, be careful." Aiden said turning to look at me. I smiled at both of them and walked out the door to find Stiles' jeep sitting outside. I got into the back seat of the jeep seeing as Scott has the passenger seat. 
        "You sure you want to do this?" Scott asked as I got it.         
        "Yup. I've been wanting to get this tattoo for a long time." I said taking out the picture and showing to Scott and Stiles. 
        "Woah, did you draw that?" Stiles asked amazed. I smiled a slight smiled and shook my head.
        "No. David did, my older brother." I said looking at the picture again remembering the day he gave it to me. 
        "He was an amazing drawer." Scott said smiling at me. I smiled at him and nodded. Stiles started driving to Derek's and the ride was quite nice. The radio was on and Stiles was trying to sing, notice I said trying. We got to Derek's and got out of the jeep and walked into the loft. Derek was sitting on the couch reading and Peter was sitting at the table looking at the blue prints that were scattered across the table. I sat down on the opposite end of the couch making Derek look at me. I smiled at him and handed him the drawing. He took it from me and studied it. 
        "Can you do it?" I questioned. He looked at me and back at the drawing. 
        "Piece of cake, but are you sure you want to do this? The pain will be like nothing you've ever felt before." he said looking at me. I swallowed and nodded my head. Derek sighed and stood up walking over to the table and picking up a blow torch. My eyes widened and I gulped. "Where exactly are you wanting this?" he asked looking at me. 
        "On my side." I said sliding my hand down my right side. He nodded and looked at me.
        "Okay, well, um, I'm going to need you to, um..." he started. I stood up and took off my jacket and my shirt throwing them on the back of the couch. 
        "Where do you want me?" I asked putting my hands on my hips. He pointed to the bed and I walked over to it sitting down. I took off my boots so I wouldn't get dirt on his bed. I laid on my left side leaving my right one exposed. 
        "Scott, come hold her down." I swallowed again and closed my eyes. I felt a hand on my shoulder and knew it was Scott.
        "Last chance to back out." he said. I shook my head no and closed my eyes tighter as I heard the blow torch being started up. I felt the burning on the flame touch my skin, Derek and Scott were right, this hurts like hell. Oh well, can't back out now. I felt myself begin to shift as I let out a growl in pain.
        "Scott hold her!" Derek yelled. I felt Scott's grip tighten on my shoulder and all I wanted to do was rip his arm off. Then before I knew it I blacked out. 
        I woke up with my side hurting like hell. I sat up and touched my side and I winced. I looked down and saw my brother's drawing on my side perfectly. My eyes widened and I shed a few tears remembering my brother. I sniffed and looked around me to see everyone over at the table. I smiled at myself and walked over to them. 
        "Thank you Derek." I said standing behind him. He turned around to face me and gave me a little smile.
        "No problem. You dealt with it better than I thought you would." he said crossing his arms over his chest. I laughed a little.
        "Oh trust me, I wanted to take both of your heads off." I smirked. Derek smirked and turned back around. I wedged myself between Derek and Stiles looking at what they were looking at. It was what looked like the blueprints of a bank. My eyes widened as reality hit me. Peter cleared his throat making everyone look at him. 
        "If you don't want to be here sweetheart you don't have to." Peter said still looking down at the blueprints. 
        "What are you guys doing?" I asked out of curiosity. I looked around and no one would answer me. I scoffed and walked away. 
        "They took people from my pack. They were going to take Isaac too but he got away." I heard Derek tell me. After I put my shirt on carefully I walked back over to them.
        "I am so sorry." I said looking at him. He gritted his teeth but gave a slight smile anyway. 
        "You mean, you didn't know?" Stiles asked me confused. I shook my head.
        "I had no idea." I said looking at him. "But I will help in anyway that I can. I don't want this to happen. I volunteered myself to go with the alpha pack but I didn't know what I was getting myself into." I said truthfully. They all looked at me and nodded.
        "Do you know where they might keep them?" Peter asked looking at me intensely. I shrugged and looked down at the blueprint. 
        "It's always quiet in the bank when I'm there. Like no one is there." I said studying the print. "My best guess would be in the vault." I said pointing out the vault. "It's the only place that's closed in, the only room with a secured, locked door." I said shrugging and looking at everyone.
        "Brilliant." Peter said. I smiled at him as he studied the vault. I looked over at Derek who was looking down at me. I smiled at him and he smiled back.
        "Thank you Ella." he said. I smiled again and nodded.
        "You're welcome." I said. He smiled once more and turned back to his Uncle who was saying something about the vault. They all talked while I sat there and thought. Do they really want Derek that badly? That's no way to show that they do. 
        "Alright, we'll come back tomorrow and come up with a plan and carry it out tomorrow." I heard Scott say. I looked at everyone and they all nodded. Scott, Stiles, and I started walking out as I grabbed my jacket.
        "Ella." I heard Derek say behind me. I turned around to face him.
        "Yeah." I said looking up at him. Derek looked behind me and I turned and saw Scott and Stiles standing there. "Go on. I'll be there in a minute." I said shooing them. They shrugged and walked out. I turned back to Derek and put on my jacket.
        "Why did you decide you wanted to join Deucalion's pack?" he asked. I sighed and looked down and my hands. 
        "Well, that's a long story. If you want me to tell you, you might have to give me a ride home." I joked. He nodded and took out his phone.
        "I just texted Scott telling them I will take you home." My eyes widened in surprise but made me smile. I took off my jacket and sat down on the couch and faced Derek.        
        "Well, it started a couple of years ago. My father was the pack of my family. There weren't many of us anyway. There were about six of us and a couple who haven't matured enough yet. My older brother, David the one who drew the drawing you burned into me, he was impulsive. He was stupid and immature. But we all loved him anyway. I was closer to him than any of my other family. He decided he liked our rival pack's alpha's daughter. So he went behind my father's back and decided to be with her. I knew that she made him happy and I knew he loved her. But not to long after they began to be together, her father found out, and lets just say he wasn't very happy. So he came with all of his pack and picked a fight with my brother. My father and everyone else of course stuck beside him. Me on the other hand, was being a little scaredy cat and hid underneath the staircase. I saw everyone fighting. I heard everything break. I heard everyone take their final breaths. When everything went quiet I stuck my head out and saw everyone laying lifeless on the floor of my house. I don't think I have ever cried harder than that day. Now you're probably wondering how I became alpha. My father was still alive, but barely. When I went over to him to give him aid he made me kill him. For a year I was alone. I then met Aiden and Ethan. They informed me about the alpha pack and I became interested. So I came all the way here from Seattle." I explained to him. His eyes were filled with sorrow. 
        "Why didn't you make a pack?" he asked. I laughed a little.
        "I don't have the guts to turn someone. If their body rejected the change, I don't know what I would do." I answered honestly. Derek scooted closer to me and gave me hug. I hugged him back. I pulled from his grasp and shook my head. "But that's why I decided this would be better than to be on my own." I said looking at him. He cupped my face in his hand.
        "You can always be apart of my pack. I know its no alpha pack but I want you to have more options. It isn't fair what happened to you and your family." he said looking me in the eyes. I nodded my head and sniffled. 
        "Thanks Derek." I said smiling. He smiled at me and gave me another hug. "And if its okay, I think I would like to take you up on your offer. I don't want to be apart of something that hurts other people." I said to him. He pulled away and nodded. I smiled and stood up grabbing my jacket. "If you want I can still pretend to be part of Deucalion's pack and help you guys with whatever you need." I said as he stood up and walking over to his bed grabbing his leather jacket. 
        "I can't ask you to do something you don't want to." Derek said putting on his jacket. 
        "Well I want to do whatever I can to help." I said as we walked out.
        "Then that would be a great help if you could." he said walking outside into the night air. 
        "Consider it done." I said smiling up at him. He smiled down at me and we got into his black camaro and he drove me home. When I got home Kali and the twins were sitting on the couch watching Harry Potter. 
        "Look who's home." Kali said standing up and walking over to me giving me a hug. I hugged her back and smiled at the twins.
        "Let me see it." Aiden said standing up followed by Ethan. I took off my jacket and pulled up my shirt to reveal the tattoo Derek gave me. They admired the work and smiled at me.
        "You're brother would be so happy." Ethan smiled at me. I smiled at him as a tear left my eye. I wiped away and nodded.
        "I know." I smiled. "I'll be right back. I'm going to go put on pajamas and I'll be right down." I said running up the stairs. When I got there I got undressed and put on my pajamas and walked down stairs. I sat on the couch between Aiden and Ethan and had a Harry Potter marathon with them and Kali.
