"Derek?" I hear Paige say.

"Derek, is that you?" She says sounding scared now.

Maybe this is a bad idea. I should never have listened to Peter.

What if Ennis hurts her?

The look on her face when Ennis appears tells me that she's not only scared but terrified.

"Ennis? Why would he choose him?" Cora asks confused.

I also want to know why he picked the biggest and scariest wolf to turn his girlfriend.

Peter shrugs. "Why not? Ennis needed a new member for his pack. Paige was young and strong. Doing a favor for Derek meant Ennis would be in good with Talia-- back then, everybody wanted to be in good with her."

"He doesn't remember it was Ennis, does he?" Stiles asks.

"If he does, he keeps it to himself." Peter tells us.

No wonder Derek is so angry almost all the time.

"So, then what happened? Did he turn her?"
Stiles questions.

I stay quiet waiting for the answer.

"...Almost." Peter says with a quiet voice.

That one word means a lot. A lot of with our luck is bad things.

What have I done?

I thought that if Paige got the bite she would be safer.

Right now she looks hurt. Really hurt.

I'm a monster.

A monster for doing this to her.

"He came at Ennis-- a fifteen-year-old boy against a giant. There was no reason for him to fight..."

"She'd already been bitten."
~

"What happened?" I ask Peter scared to know the answer.

"So, did she turn?" Stiles asks.

"She should have. Most of the time, the bite takes. Most of the time..." He tells us with what looks like maybe guilt on his face.

"When you offered it to me, you said, 'If it doesn't kill you...'" Stiles starts.

I remember this conversation. It was after the dance. After he bit Lydia. After Stiles and I admitted that we loved each other.

"'If.'" Peter says.

I take Paige to a root cellar. Somewhere safe.

I look up at Peter. "What's happening to her?"
