I knocked on the hospital door to Mr. Stilinski's room and walked in with a bouquet of light pink roses. I looked over to Sheriff Stilinski who was sitting in the hospital bed. He was awake as he was watching his son who was asleep.
"You're awake." I smiled.
"Kaelin." Mr. Stilinski realized.
"I brought some flowers." I said nervously, "Wasn't sure which ones you would like." I placed them on the side table. I looked over to Stiles who looked pretty peaceful. Stiles needed sleep. "Do you want me to wake him up?"
"What happened to you?" Mr. Stilinski asked curiously as he looked down to my wrists.
"Got arrested for the attempted murder of Lydia Martin." I informed him. Mr. Stilinski snorted. I looked at him.
"Oh! You're serious?" Mr. Stilinski said.
"Basically, Lydia woke up, told me she was in danger by blinking, and before I could give her my blood, I got arrested by your goons." I said.
"What?" Stiles demanded. I turned around to look at him. He had gotten up from his seat before rushing over to me and checking if I was okay.
"I'm fine, I promise." I told him. "Lydia's the one who's not."
"I haven't seen you in a couple days." Stiles said worriedly, "I thought he took you."
"Till the end, remember?" I said.
Stiles brought me into a tight hug.
"What's with you guys and worrying about me anyway?" I said, "We should be worried about Lydia and Mr. Stilinski."
"I'm just happy Stiles isn't worried about me anymore." Mr. Stilinski smiled.
"Also, it's Sheriff." Stiles added and I laughed.

Hunter's P.O.V
Anna grabbed my arm harshly before pulling me over to the group, two boys who I assumed were Mason and Liam. Liam was glaring at me the entire time while Mason just looked at me curiously. I felt very uncomfortable. I think he was checking me out. I couldn't wait to actually be able to go to school. The Argents had kept me hidden from any hunter's view because of what happened...
"You do realize that you just signed your death sentence." Anna declared.
I looked at her in shock and rolled my eyes.
"No idea what you're talking about, Ann. I just got here." I said. Liam glared at me as he placed a firm kiss on Anna.
"You were hanging out with Kaelin." Mason stated.
"All right. You caught me. I've been sent here to babysit you, while Kaelin deals with her other problems." I said.
"Mason." Mason introduced himself.
"The gay best friend. Got it." I said and Mason nodded.
Liam still glared at me, but Anna elbowed him. "Liam." Liam said.
"The overprotective werewolf boyfriend." I said, "Also an IED." I laughed as I clapped my hands together. "We make such a fun group, don't we? A hunter, a werewolf, a gay best friend, and a Deaton." I laughed. Liam glared at me. "Look, I'm not interested in Anna and I will never be interested in Anna. Don't get me wrong, Anna's a great kid, but I'm not into younger kids."
"He likes to be the smarter one in the relationship." Anna explained.
"Unlike you." I said, pointedly towards Liam. Mason snorted before Liam gaped at him in betrayal.
"Hunter, you're going to die." Mason declared.
"What gives you that idea?" I snorted.
"Theo's walking towards us." Anna informed me.
I turned around. "If by walk, you mean sashay, sure." I laughed.
Theo glared at me. "What the hell were you doing with my girlfriend?" Theo demanded.
"She's not your girlfriend." I said, "She broke up with you like a couple of days ago. Don't you remember?"
Theo slammed me against the lockers. His eye color shifted from hazel to yellow repeatedly. He was losing control.
"I'm gonna kill him." Liam growled, but Anna squeezed his hand in hope of calming him down.
"Don't kill him." I called out, "I'll be fine."
"I wouldn't be so sure." Theo said darkly.
"Kaelin told me about you." I said, "You wanna know what I've been doing with her for the past few days? We've been training. She wanted to keep her mind off of how you betrayed her. It worked for about one day, and then the next she offered to help me learn how to fight. She's a pretty good teacher."
Theo loosened his grip slightly. "Kaelin wouldn't like to see me dead." I said, "But then again, she's kind of already expecting that from you." Theo growled. "Don't be mad. I'm just telling the truth."
Theo was suddenly thrown off of me by a girl. She suddenly swung him against the wall. "You never should have hurt my sister." The girl growled.
"Malia!" Anna called.
The girl turned around quickly and her eyes shifted back as she set eyes on Anna. "Anna." Malia smiled. She let go of Theo. Anna rushed into Malia's arms quickly. "I thought you were dead."
"Kaelin brought me back." Anna said.
"You know, I had that under control." I pointed out.
"Sure you did." Malia said sarcastically.
"Malia, this is Hunter. Hunter, this is Malia." Anna introduced, "He's a friend."
"It's nice to meet you." I said.
"Likewise." Malia said.
"He helped save my life, Malia." Anna hissed.
"That doesn't mean I have to be nice to him." Malia shrugged. Malia turned to Anna. "Where's Kaelin?"
"At the hospital, why?" I asked curiously.
"I need to talk to her." Malia declared before trying to walk away. Anna grabbed her arm.
"You know that none of this was her fault, right?" Anna asked.
"I know." Malia said.

Kaelin's P.O.V.
'Kaelin, it's me.' Scott declared.
I had just made it home from the hospital, and unlocked the front door.
"What's up? Did you get Kira? Is she safe?" I said franticly.
'Yeah, she's okay.' Scott sighed.
"What's wrong? Is it something else?" I asked.
'It's Theo. He's after Deucalion.' Scott stated.
"What?" I demanded. "Scott, he's changed. You know that."
'But Theo doesn't.' Scott said.
"Okay, no." I declared.
'Deucalion trusts you, alright? I trust you.' Scott stated.
"Damn it." I remarked, "What do you want me to do?"
'Just talk to him. We need him on our side.' Scott said.
"Side of what?" I asked.
'We just found out that we're going to have to fight a rampaging beast.' Stiles said over the phone.
"Stiles, what the hell are you doing? I just saw you at the hospital, asleep." I said confused.
'Not the point.' Stiles said.
"Look, I'll go with you to talk to him." Scott said.
"No, it's fine." I said, "I got it."
Scott hung up and I opened the door to my room to see Theo standing there. He was holding a bouquet of flowers.
"Get out. Now." I ordered. I shook my head. He couldn't be here. Scott was on his way home and so was Stiles.
"Can we just talk?" Theo pleaded. He was going to look for Deucalion.
"We already did." I said. The encounter at the school had shaken me up. It made me feel vulnerable and I hate feeling like that.
"I brought you these." Theo said, holding the irises up. "Maybe it'll change your mind." I looked over to the irises and shook my head.
"It happened once." I snapped, "It won't happen again."
"Just, talk to me." Theo pleaded, "That's all I ask."
"I'm talking to you right now." I retorted.
Theo took a step towards me. "You know that's not what I meant."
"I-I don't want to talk to you." I said, "Doesn't that matter anymore?" I looked at Theo in shock.
"I haven't talked to you in days." Theo stated.
"One day." I said.
"It feels like days." Theo said, "I'm lost without you." Theo walked up to me and pushed back one of my curls behind my ear. "Just let me make it up to you."
"Kaelin!" Stiles shouted as he entered the house.
I turned to look that he made it up to my room. I turned around to realize that Theo had gone and left through the window. The flowers were still laid out on the bed.
"Kaelin." Stiles stated in relief, but his face fell immediately as he eyed the back of my neck. Stiles tried to grab it and I fought back.
"What the hell are you doing?" I demanded.
"Kaelin... Did you heal?" Stiles asked.
Stiles revealed my neck that had the stitched wound.
"Kae." Stiles stated worriedly.
"I'm okay." I said, "I don't know why it hasn't healed."
"I do." Scott declared as he stood in front of the doorway. "You're not a vampire anymore."
˜"*°•.˜"*°• o •°*"˜.•°*"˜
Scott, Stiles, and I made our way to the animal clinic and I was surprised to see how the two of them interacted. We were all sitting in the examination room where we usually did these intense talks. "So are the two of you on good terms now or..." I started.
"Scott's still hesitant." Stiles explained shortly.
"That's not true." Scott said.
"Sorry I asked." I apologized.
"There's something we need to tell you." Stiles declared and Scott shook his head. "Scott kind of made the sign for revenge, so Theo and his chimeras think we're after them now."
"I have a request." I said and the two of them looked at me confused. "Mason's dating one of them. Corey's the name, and I don't want him to lose his boyfriend." Stiles scoffed and Scott looked at me in disbelief.
Deaton had walked into the animal clinic, Anna following slowly behind him. "What's going on?" Deaton asked curiously. The three of us shared a look before looking back at Deaton.
"They're hiding something." Anna declared.
"Kaelin hasn't healed yet." Stiles informed them and Scott and I glared at him. "What? You know it's hard for me to keep secrets."
Deaton walked over to me. "It's been a couple of days, it should've healed by now." I pulled my hair back to the side to allow him to look at my neck wound. I flinched as he touched it.
"What's your synopsis?" Stiles asked worriedly. He was chewing on his nails nervously.
"Have you had blood?" Deaton asked curiously.
"Yes, I have." I said.
Deaton looked at me, his gears whirring in his head. Scott continued to do the same thing, he wondered what could be the cause of this. "What are you thinking?" Scott asked Deaton.
"Kaelin, is it possible that your body is not allowing itself to heal?" Anna asked.
"Like it's somatoformic?" Stiles asked and we all turned to look at him shocked. "What? I know things."
"Scott thinks I'm not a vampire anymore." I said, "Is that true?"
Deaton sighed, "For now, you need to rest, or at least not get into any fights." I nodded in agreement. I wasn't planning on getting into any fights.
"Not sure that's going to happen." I remark.
˜"*°•.˜"*°• o •°*"˜.•°*"˜
Deucalion and I met up in a warehouse. I offered for him to choose the place. I knew that I wasn't going to be talking to him alone, since it was more than likely that Scott was spying on us. I walked inside the warehouse and set my eyes on Deucalion. He didn't have his walking stick anymore. He didn't need to fool anyone else.
"Kaelin." Deucalion realized.
"You look great." I commented.
"I wondered how you came back." Deucalion stated.
"I thought you would." I said, "But then again, you knew me before any of this happened."
Deucalion shrugged. "You're right." Deucalion said, "You look so much like your mother."
"You can see?" I asked him curiously.
"Yes, Jennifer's magic did have a long term effect on my eyes." Deucalion informed me, "I also know that Stiles and Scott are outside. Listening in on this conversation."
"They should probably come in." I agreed.
Deucalion nodded in agreement. Stiles and Scott walked into the warehouse.
"Well, look who it is. It's Shaggy and Scooby from the Scooby gang." I remark sarcastically.
Stiles gaped at me. "Which one am I?" Stiles demanded.
"Probably Scooby." I answered shortly and Scott looked at me confused. "He's smarter."
"I can not believe that you just compared the two of us to them." Stiles declared. I glared at him.
"I can not believe that you were actually spying on the two of us." I said and Scott looked at me with a 'Really?' look. "Fine, I did expect that."
"Why don't we just talk?" Deucalion said, "Like old times."
Scott and Stiles both turned to look at Deucalion in sync. Stiles was shocked to see that Deucalion had his eye sight back. Stiles continued staring at Deucalion causing the three of us to glare at him. I placed my hands on my hips as I spoke with Stiles through my eyes.
"Sorry." Stiles apologized, "They told me that that bitch gave you back your eyesight, I just didn't expect... Well, that."
"I know why you're here." Deucalion stated, "I've been expecting Kaelin to call for a while now." I turned to look at him shocked. "Theo mentioned you."
"He has this thing for her." Stiles said, "Which is disgusting."
I glanced over at Scott who agreed with Stiles.
"I won't tell him that you came." Deucalion said.
Stiles looked at Deucalion with disbelief. I remembered how good friends Deucalion was with my mother. He wanted peace. Just like before.
"We can trust him." I stated. "He wants peace-"
"And helping a psychopath won't really look good in his resume." Stiles added in understanding.
"The Beast is very dangerous." Deucalion sighed, "This kid is playing with things he doesn't understand."
"The Beast?" I demanded, "The Beast?"
"What is it?" Scott demanded, "What is it, Kaelin?"
"It's probably nothing." I denied.
"Tell us." Stiles said softly as he placed his hand on my shoulder.
"He killed over 100 people." I informed them, "And then the Maid of Gevaudan killed him."
"How do you know that?" Deucalion asked curiously.
I glanced in between the three of us worriedly. "Because she was the first werewolf hunter."
"Allison." Scott declared, "We've got to go. Now."
"Scott?" I asked worriedly.
"Isaac left and Argent and Hunter are out talking to Gerard. She's there all alone." Scott stated.
Isaac left? I felt relieved. The three of us turned to the exit and started to walk out.
"Kaelin." Deucalion called out. I turned to him confused. "Theo knows about Kate."
"What?" I demanded.
"He asked about her specifically." Deucalion said, "I had to tell him to keep my cover." I shook my head. "He isn't happy with you lying to him."
"Did you tell him about Peter?" I demanded as I walked towards Deucalion angrily. Stiles tried to pull me back, but I pushed back at him and walked towards Deucalion.
"Yes." Deucalion stated, "I told him about Peter."
"It's not your place!" I snapped at him.
"Kae, let's just go." Stiles said softly as he tugged on my arm.
"...Did you tell him about my mother?" I asked.
Deucalion looked at me nervously before nodding. I growled, but Stiles held me back. "Kae, it's okay. It's okay." Stiles spoke softly in my ear as he held me back from fighting off Deucalion. "Let's just leave, okay?" I nodded and Stiles loosened his grip on me. Stiles glared at Deucalion before walking out with me, his arm wrapped around my shoulder.
Stiles and I sat in his jeep as we waited for Scott to come back from his separate chat with Deucalion. I stared out the window angrily.
"He shouldn't have told Theo about that." Stiles declared.
"Deucalion didn't have a choice." I sighed, "If Theo asked specifically about that, he would have to tell him to keep his cover."
Stiles looked at me. "He's just going to use what he knows now to manipulate you." Stiles said.
"Stop." I pleaded, "Just, stop." Stiles looked at me confused. "Everyone is worried about me." I sat up before turning to face Stiles. "You know exactly how I feel, and I'll get through it. I don't need you to be overprotective. I can handle this."
"What do you feel?" Stiles asked curiously.
"It's, it's like I'm in the ocean and I get caught by a wave. I get back up, but another wave pushes me down again and again and again, and I can't get up." I explained. I looked over to Stiles. "And you, you and Scott, you help me stand, but somehow I still fall."
"The waves are sadness." Stiles realized, he placed his hand on mine.
"I can handle some of it, but when they mention my family. I just break." I admitted.
"I know you can, Kae." Stiles said, "But you understand... I can't lose you again."
"You'll never lose me." I promised.
I wiped a tear off his cheek. I leant my head against his shoulder. Scott suddenly got into the car and Stiles changed his mood.
"I'm gonna kill him." Stiles growled, "This time I'm gonna kill him."
"Stiles-" I started.
Stiles started the car before he started driving us back home.
"Wow. I mean, wow." Stiles snapped, "He has such nerve."
Scott nodded in agreement. Stiles wrists tightened on the steering wheel. "I mean asking about Kate I understand, but your mother? Your mother? That's a line he shouldn't have crossed."
"He also tried to kill Hunter." Scott added in agreement.
"He did what?" I demanded. I turned to look at Scott in a demanding tone.
Stiles brought the car to an abrupt stop.
"HE DID WHAT?" Stiles demanded, his voice louder than mine. I had told Stiles about who Hunter was and how he was basically now a male Sara Lance, he isn't gay though.
"You know why, Stiles." Scott sighed.
Stiles looked at me before he understood, but I didn't.
"Are you saying Theo nearly killed him because of me?" I demanded angrily.
"That's not what I'm saying." Scott said as he held his hands up.
"Theo nearly killed him because I talked to him." I stated, "All I did was talk to Hunter."
Stiles and Scott looked at me in shock. Stiles placed his hand in mine in an assuring way.
"Also, when were you going to tell me about Gerard?" I demanded.
Scott looked at me shocked. "Hunter told me." I explained shortly.
"Don't worry, we're going to betray him anyway." Scott smirked.
˜"*°•.˜"*°• o •°*"˜.•°*"˜
I slammed my locker down shut. I still couldn't forget about how Deucalion told Theo about my family. I understood, but I didn't want him to know. I ran a hand through my hair nervously. I didn't have to be here. I had enough credits to graduate yesterday, like Lydia. I wanted to come to school, to still go here when Stiles and Scott did because I know that it'd be weird without me there. I always enjoyed school more when I was with them. Lydia. She did it for me. She wanted to stay with us for one more year.
"Hey." Theo said, smiling softly.
"I don't want to talk to you." I snapped at him as I practically walked away from him holding my book in my hands.
Theo rushed to walk next to me. "Damn it, Angel. Can't you just slow down?" Theo said.
"No. I can't." I snapped at him.
Theo suddenly grabbed my book bringing me to an abrupt stop. "Give me that back." I ordered as I tried to grab it, but Theo easily held the book out of my reach.
"Not unless you talk to me." Theo said, "And I know you really love this book."
I looked down to the book he was holding. It was white with red letters on the front. I sighed in annoyance.
One Of Us is Lying.
He was right. I did love that book. I really do love this book.
"Fine." I stated angrily, "Let's talk."
"I know about Kate." Theo said and even though I already knew, my expression darkened. My fists tightened and turned pale at the mention of her. "Why didn't you tell me?" Theo asked me curiously, breaking me out of my daze.
"I don't like talking about her." I said.
"But you could've told me. I would've understood..." Theo declared.
"Understood?" I asked, "I don't need you to understand. I don't care about your opinion of me. I only care about how Deucalion told you about my mother." I shook my head.
"Deucalion?" Theo stated, "How do you know him?"
"Family friend." I said. Theo looked down. "I met him, you know, before my family was burned alive. He was friends with my mother." Theo looked at me shocked.
"Kaelin-" Theo started.
"But he told you about my father too, didn't he?" I said, "Did he tell you about how he kidnapped me? Did he tell you about how he killed Scott for power? The last one sounds awfully familiar, doesn't it?" I looked at him. "Yeah. I know Deucalion keeps tabs on his friend's endangered daughter. I've known every since I got back. My mom told me. She made a whole deal about it. Trust Deucalion, he'll protect you, yada, yada, yada. She would hate to know how he's helping a broken chimera fill his wishes on being the most powerful being alive." I glared at Theo. "She loved Scott too. She is probably so mad right now. Aiden is getting an earful."
"Aiden?" Theo questioned.
"Yes, Aiden. Also known as one of the people you used for your fucking cover." I said, "One of the twins that can merge into a beast. He's actually a pretty nice guy. Deucalion probably told you about him too. Sorry to break it to you, but he's dead, so you won't be able to go and kill him because he talked to me."
"What I did with Hunter-" Theo said.
"Was different?" I said, tone full of disbelief. "He's human. You threatened to kill him. He was about to kick your ass before Malia showed up and did it for him. Does that about sum it up?"
"When I asked Deucalion, he told me everything." Theo said worriedly.
"I'm aware." I said, "Guess you know my whole life story now." I rolled my eyes. "You've probably learned that no matter what you say or do to me, I will never join your psychotic little pack."
"Just give me a chance." Theo pleaded. I stared at him in disbelief. He couldn't be serious. "Your mother-"
"My mother gave my father a chance. That doesn't mean I have to give you one." I snapped.
"What about Talia?" Theo said, "I've heard great things about her."
"So we're moving on to my aunt?" I said. "Fine. You want to know? She's probably up in heaven right now, rooting for me to kick your ass. She doesn't care about chances, not since you hurt the people that have kept me safe and loved for the past 10 years."
I looked at Theo annoyed.
"Is that really how you feel?" Theo asked sadly.
"I do tend to overly exaggerate on things." I commented.
Theo huffed in annoyance and anger. "Tell me the truth." I looked over at him. He was the one who lied to me. I never lied to him. "Do you hate me?"
"I hate you." I spat venemously.
Theo shoved me against the wall. His arm blocking my exit. His minty breath filled the air as our lips were inches apart.
"Why?" Theo asked, "I only asked Deucalion because I was worried about you."
I glanced at the distance between the two of us, before looking up into his eyes. The eyes I got so easily lost in. "Asking about my family. That's too far."
Theo slammed his fist against the wall causing for me to flinch. "I asked because I knew you wouldn't tell me."
"How would you know that?" I asked sarcastically.
Theo's other hand gripped my arm, causing for me to feel more uncomfortable. "I know Scott's alive, so you can stop this little charade."
"I'm never going to forgive you, Theo." I promised.
Theo looked at me sadly. He removed his hand from the wall before running it down my face. "How do you feel now?" Theo smirked. The tension was high in the air. I swatted his hand away.
"Like I'm being harassed and stalked by my ex boyfriend." I snapped.
"Don't you understand how much I care about you?" Theo snapped, "I lied to the Dread Doctors for you. I made sure that they wouldn't make you into a chimera."
"I'm sorry that you had to lie because of me." I said.
"I'm happy with you. I care about you. I'm not supposed to care about anyone." Theo stated.
"I'm sorry about what you've been through, Theo. I really am." I stated.
"If you were, you'd be on my side." Theo snapped angrily.
My phone buzzed and before Theo stopped me, I grabbed it and looked at it.
//DEATON'S MISSING! MEET AT MY HOUSE NOW!\\-Bambi (Malia)
I looked back up. "I have to go." I declared, pushing past Theo, grabbing my book, and sprinting past him.
I had to find Deaton.
Theo chased after me. "Where are you going?" Theo asked.
"None of your business, so just leave me alone." I snapped as I walked off campus and was trying to go over to my car.
Theo grabbed my phone and looked down at the text. "Let me help." Theo offered.
"No." I snapped as I grabbed my phone.
Theo followed me as I made it to my car. "Look, I don't want to fight you, but I will if you don't leave me alone." I snapped. Theo looked at me amused.
"I can help you." Theo said.
"You can't so just back off." I snapped, "I have done enough talking with you for the day. He could be dying right now and I will not waste my time dealing with you."
Theo stared at me shocked.
I got into my car.
"Just let me go with you. If it's nothing, then I'll leave you alone." Theo said, and I looked up at him intrigued.
"What if it's not?" I asked him.
"Then I'll help you." Theo answered.
I leant over and opened the passenger door open for Theo.
"I knew you'd fall for my charms some time, Angel." Theo smirked.
"Shut up and get in the car!" I ordered.
"Yes mam." Theo smiled as he got into the car.
I started the ignition and I made my way to Malia's house.
We have to find Deaton. I need to find him for Anna. Anna doesn't deserve to lose her parent. No one does. I'll find him and I'll save him. For Anna.
