"Why am I - the most inexperienced driver here - driving this car!? I don't even have my license!" I squealed and violently turned a corner as Kate Argent chased us close behind. Doing my best not to damage the beautiful car.

"Cause neither of us wanted to be in charge of each others lives." Stiles told me and my only response was to whine as I turned another sharp corner.

"Faster?" I asked after a few moments as Kate started to catch up to us. Stiles nodded.

"Much faster." I grimaced as I pressed harder on the acceleration and pushed the car up a gear. I have to admit though, if it weren't for the fact that this was a life or death situation I would have enjoyed driving Derek's car...if it were going slower.

"Ok, Rori, I don't think you're grasping the concept of the car chase here." Stiles said whilst glancing over at his shoulder.

"Stiles, if I go any faster, I'll kill us." I snapped back.

"Well, if you don't go faster, they're gonna kill us!" I groaned in defeat and forced the car to speed up even more but they just dropped back. "They're gone." Stiles then pulled out a radio and turned it on.

"All units, suspect is on foot heading into the Iron Works." Came the Sheriff's voice and we all looked at each other, now knowing why Kate pulled back but it also gave us the location so we could pick Derek back up.

________________________________________________________________________

I quickly pulled up alongside Derek whilst Stiles commanded him to get it. He quickly jumped into the now empty seat since Stiles jumped into the back with Scott, not moments earlier and I was leaving before Derek could even close the door.

"What part of laying low don't you understand?" Scott barked (hehe)

"Damn it, I had him!" Derek yelled angrily.

"Who, the Alpha?" Stiles asked.

"Yes! He was right in front of me, and the friggin' police showed up." Derek growled and Stiles was quick to defend them.

"Whoa, hey, they're just doing their jobs -" Stiles was cut off by Derek's stern glare andshrunk back.

"Yeah, thanks to someone who decided to make me the most wanted fugitive in the entire state." Derek spoke pointedly to Scott.

"Can we seriously get past that? I made a dumbass mistake. I get it." Scott groaned, sick of the fact being brought up again.

"Alright!" Stiles interjected, not wanting the fight to any further. "How did you find him?" Derek shook his head and looked out of the window silently.

"Can you try to trust us for at least half a second?" I asked.

"Yeah, all of us." As soon as Stiles said this and saw the look on Derek's face, he backtracked. "Or just them. Or even just Rori, I'll be back here." He finished and moved back into the rear seat of the car.

"Look the last time I talked to my sister, she was close to figuring something out. She found two things. The first was a guy named Harris."

"Our chemistry teacher?" I asked, confused.

"Why him?" Scott queried.

"I don't know yet." Derek admitted.

"What's the second?" Scott asked again and Derek began fishing something out of his pocket.

"Some kind of symbol." Derek mumbled and showed us the picture. I groaned as I realised what the symbol was, Allison having showed me as soon as she got to school the day Kate gave it to her. Scott also recognised the mark as Derek asked us, "what? You know what this is?" I nodded.

"We've seen it on a necklace." I told him and spared him a glance before looking back onto the road.

"Allison's necklace." Scott confirmed and I nodded in agreement

I was just finishing making my toast when I heard the ever familiar 'bing' of a text message.

To: Rora <33

From: Stiles :) <3

Hey! I'm outside :)

I completely forgot he was picking me up today. My eyes widened and and I stuffed the toast in my mouth, chewing as quickly as I could before getting a drink of juice to wash down the dry bread. I ran up the stairs with next to me I whilst I texted him back. Rilien had grown a fair bit in the few weeks i had him. He was now 10 weeks old and was less fluffy than he was when he was 5 weeks.

To: Stiles :) <3

From: Rora <33

Shoot! Sorry I'm not ready yet, you can come in if you want? There's a key in the left pot (original, I know) xx

I wretched the door to my bedroom open and closed it again, making my way to my window. I pushed the billowy curtains away and glanced down, seeing Stiles hopping out of his blue jeep, causing the corners of my mouth to twitch upwards as he closed the door. He must have felt my eyes on him as he looked around before looking up, catching my gaze. His face broke out in the dorky grin that I loved (A/N: We all know the one ;) ) and he waved up at me. I waved back and he made his way to the door. I spun around to see that Ril had made himself comfortable on my bed, his usual spot. I ruffled his fur and made my way through mine and Lydia's shared wardrobe and knocked on the door leading to her room. She was already ready as she opened the door and raised an eyebrow at me.

"What are you still doing in your pyjamas? I though Stiles was picking you up today?" She asked and I winced.

"Uh yeah, thats the thing. I forgot he was picking me up so I didn't bother getting ready too early and then he texted me saying that he was outside and I told him he could come in but I forgot he would have to wait downstairs alone anyway and I was wondering if you could go down there so he's not alone?" I rushed out and if it were anyone else she probably wouldn't have understood me but since she was the girl I'd known basically since birth she just sighed and nodded.

"Yeah, fine, but you owe me free range to your wardrobe." She pointed a finger at me and I chuckled.

"Don't you already have that?"

"Yes, but I also get to choose what you wear for the rest of the week, counting today seeing as though I already set out an outfit for you." My eyes widened.

"Really?" I asked and she nodded smugly, twirling a piece of her perfect strawberry blonde hair. "Oh thank God! Lydie, you're a saint." I praised in relief, thankful I wouldn't have to try and put something together in a rush.

Outfit on sidebar

"I know." She told me with a smirk as I pecked her cheek and bounded back into the wardrobe, grabbing the ensemble in question off out 'outfit' rack. A rack where we were able to place clothes we put together, whether it was for ourselves or each other. I ran to the bathroom and had a quick shower, brushing my teeth before jumping out, drying myself quickly and putting on the clothes. I then did my hair as well as my makeup. Once I was done I made my way swiftly over to my desk, practically scooping all the papers and books into . I spun around to say goodbye to Rilien but he wasn't on my bed anymore. I shrugged it off. He was probably just playing outside or eating something. I slung the bag over my shoulder and rushed downstairs seeing Stiles sitting awkwardly at the kitchen bench with Lydia standing on the other side with a threatening look on her face.

"I swear if you hurt that girl I'll -" I heard her say but quickly interrupted her.

"Lydia!" She turned to me with an innocent smile. "What are you doing?" I asked alarmed.

"Hmm? Oh. Nothing." She smiled again before sweeping out of the house. I sighed and looked over at Stiles who was getting up from his place at the bench.

"I'm so sorry about her." I told him but he just smiled and waved it off.

"It's fine." He said just as Rilien came padding in through the doggy-door, when he caught sight of us, he padded over to me excitedly and jumped up onto my legs with a wagging tail. I grinned and pulled him up like a child, he was almost getting too big to hold in my arms but that didn't stop me.

"Hi baby!" He licked at my face before I turned to Stiles. "Stiles this is Rilien, my familiar." I told him and placed the dog back down, who turned to jumped over to the boy.

"You have a familiar? That's amazing!" Stiles gushed as he bobbed down and indulged the dog in affection and it took all I had not to burst at the sight of him and Ril, who seemed equally as excited about meeting someone new. "Does Rilien mean anything?" He asked and I nodded before bobbing down and patting the him too.

"Yeah, it means brilliant in elvish." I told him, embarrassed but his reaction differed greatly from that of Jackson's when he found out what Ril's name was. Instead of laughing Stiles just grinned and chuckled.

"That's probably the most amazing name for a pet I've ever heard. Have I told you that I love you?" Stiles said, almost in adoration.

"Hmmm, yeah but it wouldn't hurt to tell me again." I teased and Stiles' smile never wavered as we both stood up.

"Well then, I love you Aurora Carter." He told me and I let out a chuckle but it was quickly cut off without warning when Rilien rammed his head in the back of my knees, causing me to fall forwards. Rilien, that little sneak. Stiles was swift to catch me and I let out a small laugh and looked up. He grinned at pressed his lips to mine in a short kiss, one in which neither of us could keep our smiles off our faces.

"As cute as this is, I'm gonna have to break up the love fest." Natalie interrupted with a small smile as she walked into the room. "Don't you kids have school?" We nodded with blushes on our faces as we shuffled out the door. I kissed Natalie on the cheek and gave her a hug, we both gave Ril a final pet before heading to Stiles' car. We hopped in and began driving our way to school.

"Can I put some music on?" I asked after a moment of silence and Stiles nodded with a smile and turned his gaze back to the road. I pressed the CD button, wondering what he was listening to before and was pleasantly surprised by what I heard.

"Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want,

So tell me what you want, what you really really want,

I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want,

So tell me what you want, what you really really want,

I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really really really wanna zigazig ha."

I threw my head back in laughter as Sties desperately tried to get the CD to stop but I kept batting his hands away.

"Nuh-uh! We're gonna listen to this and you'll enjoy it." I told him and he rolled his eyes playfully.

"If you want my future forget my past," I sang and pointed to him, waiting for him to sing.

"If you wanna get with me better make it fast," he mumbled and I shook my head.

"Now don't go wasting, my precious time," I belted with a grin and Stiles looked over at me and laughed before doing the same.

"Get your act together we could be just fine!" He sang loudly without reservation and I beamed at him.

Once we reached the school, Stiles jumped out quickly and ran around to my door whilst I was grabbing my bag from the floor of the car and opened it. I stepped down and slung my bag onto my back as Stiles closed the car door. We began walking to the building and I slipped my hand into his. He turned to me and kissed my cheek before interlocking our hands. Our walk there was interrupted by Scott who jumped in front of us before we even reached the stair.

"Rori! Stiles!" I tightened my grip on Stiles hand who brushed his thumb over my knuckles comfortingly. "I am so sorry. L-Look I even got you your hot chocolate, Rori!" He flung the steamy drink into my face. I took it hesitantly. "I don't think I can even begin to explain how much I regret everything I did to you two. I honestly don't deserve either of you. Please forgive me?" I considered it for a moment and nodded. Not completely forgiving him but enough to not let it get in the way of the matter at hand.

________________________________________________________________________

"This is gonna be impossible." I groaned to Scott and Stiles as we entered the school. "How the hell are we supposed to get Allison's necklace."

"Why don't you just ask if you can borrow it?" Stiles inquired, I sighed and shook my head. "What? Why not? Don't girls do that sort of thing? You and Lydia borrow each others stuff all the time. It's easy. You just say, 'Hey, Allison, can I borrow your necklace to see if there's anything on it or in it that can lead us to an Alpha werewolf that Scott needs to kill in order to get back together with you?'"

"It's a family heirloom, Stiles. You can't just ask if you can borrow a family heirloom." I denied. Stiles sighed and turned to Scott.

"Why don't you ask to her?" He asked.

"She won't talk to me." Scott said with frustration laced in his tone. "What if she, like, only takes it off in the shower or something?" Scott asked and looked up in a daze.

"That's why you ease back into it, okay? Get back on the good side, remind her of the good times. And then you ask for the necklace." Stiles paused for a minute as we watch Scott's face pull up into a smirk. "You're thinking about her in the shower, aren't you?" He asked and thumped Scott's shoulder.

"Yeah." Scott admitted.

"All right, stay focused, okay? Get the necklace, get the Alpha, get cured, get Allison. In that order. Got it?" Scott nodded in understanding. Stiles pecked me on the cheek before running off to class. I watched him go before looking back at Scott. He opened his mouth to talk but I cut him off by whirling around and stalking off with my hair swinging behind me.

"Rori!" He rushed up to me and grabbed my shoulder, trying to turn me around. He then immediately pulled me into a hug. I sighed, knowing that I wouldn't be able to keep a grudge against the puppy eyed boy. I then wrapped my arms around his waist. "I'm sorry. I wasn't myself." He whispered and I smiled at him.

"It's fine, Scott. I forgive you and I'm sure Stiles does too. We both know it wasn't really you that day." He lit in and let out a sigh of relief. The bell went and we both jumped and I chuckled. "I'll see you later." I told him and he nodded with a grin.

"Yeah! Thank God you forgave me." We laughed and hugged me once more before we went on our way.

"What? Jackson knows?" I looked at Stiles in surprised and stopped putting my books in my locker. "Did he say it? You know, the word?"

"That's what I asked but apparently he implied it very clearly." He told me and I grabbed out . "Especially when he started talking to Scott at lunch using Scott's werewolf hearing." I closed the locker door, practically slammed my head into the locker.

"Oh god. I knew I should've sat with you two at lunch today." I groaned and Stiles pulled my under his arm, walking me to my swimming class since he had a free period. "What are we gonna do?" I questioned as I rested my head on his shoulder.

"That's not even the worst thing." He told me and I looked at him.

"What could be worse than Jackson knowing?"

"Maybe the fact that he could use Allison's father as proof of the whole werewolf thing, if he even knows about her dad." I sighed.

"Ok, that's not so bad. He probably doesn't even know Allison's dad's a hunter."

"Also...Scott tried to get the necklace."

"Oh yeah? How'd that go?" I asked, already knowing the outcome.

"He blew it." Stiles deadpanned. I chuckled.

"Of course he did. So now what are we planning to do about the necklace."

"That's the thing." Stiles began and I raised an eyebrow. "We were wondering if you could distract her during swimming so we could look through her bag for it." Stiles rushed and I blinked before letting it sink in.

"Fine." Stiles let out a breath of relief and fist pumped the air before stopping me an grabbing my face, places kisses everywhere. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I swatted him away, giggling.

"Hey Erica!" I called and she stopped and spun around, a shy smile growing on her face once she saw me. "I like your bathing suit" I complimented the blonde who blushed.

"I like yours too" 

"Thank you, Lydia bought it for me once she found out I was doing swimming classes." I told her and gestured to the plain white bikini. She nodded in understanding. Erica was rather quiet but we both enjoy each others company so we would spend time together consistently, whether it was just a small chat in the halls or if she came over to my house to hang out.

"W-Would you mind swimming with me this period?" She stuttered out but I sent a comforting smile towards her.

"Of course. No. Wait, of course I don't mind not of course I would mind." She looked at me confused. "I would love to swim with you." I told her with a chuckle. I'd already seen Allison swimming with Jackson so I knew she'd be distracted enough. A relieved smile spread on her face as we made our way to a spare lane. I looked up to the spectator deck, quickly spotting Stiles who grinned and waved at me. I let out a laugh and waved back, able to see his pink cheeks from here.

Erica and I spent the swimming lesson joking around. Splashing each other with water, splashing separate people with water. We occasionally raced each other and Erica was surprisingly good at swimming, beating me almost every time. When the time finally came to get out of the water, we climbed out of the pool and I was greeted with Stiles immediately wrapping me up in a towel. He then passed one to Erica who thanked him and told me she's meet up with me later before she left to the changing rooms. I looked at Stiles confused.

"I uh- I thought you would get cold?" He told me and let out an awkward chuckle when he noticed by confused expression

"Stiles, in the pool and outside the pool is heated." I informed and he let out a noise of defeat.

"Fine, fine! I just didn't want people staring at my girlfriend." He admitted. "My extremely hot girlfriend who would probably be much better suited to one of many admirers who were watching her today." He grumbled and I smirked.

"Were you jealous?" I inquired with wide grin.

"Pfft. What? Me? Jealous?" I only had to wait for a moment before he cracked. "Yes, I was. Extremely." I grinned and leant forwards, letting my lips fall on his as I pressed my hands against his chest. I kept hold of the towel as Stiles slid his hands onto my bare waist. His dry hands slid against my damp skin and they ran themselves up and down my back. I bit on his bottom lip lightly, causing Stiles to let out a breathy groan as he slid his tongue into my mouth.

"Stilinski! Carter! Stop making out in my swimming arena!" Stiles and I immediately pulled back with red tints to our cheeks as we faced Coach Finstock. "Carter, get changed!" I nodded and made my way over to the change rooms. "Stilinski! What the hell are you doing? Don't follow her!"

A/N:

Sorry for such a long update everyone! I've moved houses, stressed with school and my pop recently passed away so it's been pretty hectic.

Sorry again, hope you all understand!
