Melanie's POV

"What are you doing to him? Is that gonna kill him?" Allison asks.

"Oh, come on, kiddo. Don't get all ethical on me now." Mom says to her.

"What is he?" Allison asks.

"Shape - shifter. Lycan." Mom says.

"Werewolf." I say. They both look at me. Allison looks shocked as mom smirks.

"To me he's just another dumb animal." Mom says then walks over to Derek, gripping his jaw. "Come here." She says to us. We go closer. "See these right here? These are canines, also known as fangs. Made for the tearing and rending of flesh. Not something you'd find on those cute little leaf - eating herbivores, is it?" Mom asks.

"This is a joke to you?" Allison asks her.

"Sweetheart, there are werewolves running around in the world. Everything's a joke to me. How else do you think I stay sane?" Mom asks her.

"So - it was him at the high school and all the other animal attacks?" Allison asks.

"No." I say, mom smirks at me again while Allie looks confused.

"There's actually three of them - Another younger one like him called a Beta, and then there's the Alpha. Alpha's the pack leader - Bigger, stronger, nastier. Those - are the real ugly motherf -" Mom starts but Allison cuts her off.

"Oh, God, not now." She says. She stays quiet for a second then says. "When were they gonna tell me?"

"They still haven't decided if they're gonna tell you." Mom says about Allison's parents.

"Why?" Allison asks.

"Let's just say if you react badly when you find out - Not good." Mom says. I raise an eyebrow.

"What do you mean,"not good"?" Allison asks her.

"They don't think that you can handle it. They look at you and they see this frightened little girl who's gonna run crying in the corner when she finds out the truth. Me - what I see - Natural talent. Allison, you said you wanted to feel more powerful, right? Now's your chance." Mom says then looks at me. "I knew that you were ready, have been for a long time, jus had to get Allison ready to earn the truth also. You both have natural talent. You want to be powerful now you can." Mom says. I nod. This is more to take in then I thought.

"What are we supposed to do now?" I ask mom.

"Go to school, do your homework. Go to the Formal on Friday night. Be a normal teenage girls who don't know anything. Trust me to get everything ready for the next part." Mom say. I slowly nod.

"What's the next part?" Allison asks her.

"You're gonna help me catch the second Beta."

Scott.

The next day I am in Scott's room with him and Stiles. I haven't told them about what mom showed me and Allie. I don't think I can. If my mom were to find out that I told them then she would be angry but it would also help her catch Scott. Scott is rushing around looking for his phone.

"Call it again." Scott says.

"It's not here. Okay, so you lost your phone. Why don't you just get a new one?" I ask him.

"I can't afford a new one. And I can't do this alone. We have to find Derek." Scott says.

"Well, "A", you're not alone. You have me and Melanie. And "B", didn't you say Derek walked into gunfire? He sounds pretty dead." Stiles says.

"Argent's plan was to use him to get to the Alpha - they're not gonna kill him." Scott says. I look down, feeling guilty because I know where Derek is but I can't tell him. Or Stiles.

"All right, so then just let them do what they're planning, you know? They use Derek to get Peter - problem solved." Stiles says.

"Not if Peter's going after Allison and Melanie to find Derek! I can't protect her on my own. Which means we either find Derek first - just - just help me!" Scott says. I look at Stiles wide eyed. Peter. The Alpha. Coming after Allison and Me. Just great.

"You know, you probably lost it when you two were fighting. You remember that, when he was trying to kill you, after you interrupted him trying to kill Jackson? Are you starting to see a pattern of violent behavior here?" Stiles asks him.

"He wasn't going to kill anyone. And I'm not letting him die." Scott says.

"Could you at least think about letting him die? For me?" Stiles asks. I hit his arm. He looks at me and gives me a confused look to which I just roll my eyes. He looks back at Scott, noticing him not paying attention. "What?"

"My Mom just got home from work." He replies.

"Is she okay? What's she doing?" Stiles asks him.

"Crying." Scott says.

"Scott, you can't protect everyone." I say to him, sadly.

"I have to." Scott says.

I look at Stiles and sigh. I rest my head on his shoulder.

School the next day has been boring so far. Jackson and Allison are still going to the formal together though. Scott threatened him to take her so that she would be safe.

"Hey, don't worry. I'll still be there." Stiles says to him after we watched Jackson confirm his date with my cousin.

"I'm still going." Scott says.

"Is that such a good idea? Do you even have a date?" I ask him.

"Not yet." Scott replies.

"Do you have a suit?" Stiles asks him.

"Not yet." Scott repeats his answer from the last question.

"Do you have a ticket to the formal? A ride there?" I ask crossing my arms on my chest.

"No. And no." Scott answers. I roll my eyes.

"So you're gonna ride your bike to a dance that you're not even allowed to go to without a date, a suit, or a way in with werewolves and werewolf hunters all out to kick your little werewolf ass." Stiles asks him.

"Yeah. You guys gonna help me?" Scott asks.

Stiles and I look at each other and smirk. "Hell, yeah." We say together, smirking.

Now I am at the mall with Lydia and Allison dress shopping. We are going up an escalator in Macy's.

"Nothing's wrong, I just - I have a lot on my mind." Allison says to us.

"You could smile, at least. Ever heard of the saying, "Never frown. Someone could be falling in love with your smile"? Smile, Allison. I'm buying you a dress. You to Melanie." Lydia says and I smile gratefully at her.

"Have to admit as far as apologies go, that's more than I expected." Allison says.

"Excellent." Lydia says.

"But not as much as I'm going to ask." Allison says. I give her a confused look.

"What? What's that supposed to mean?" Lydia asks with the same look I have..

"It means you're going to cancel on whatever dumb, roided - up jock you said yes to and you're going to go with somebody else." Allison says to her.

"Who?" Lydia asks her now very confused. Yep, so am I.

"Him." Allison says pointing somewhere. Me and Lydia look over. I see Stiles spray perfume in his mouth. I frown realizing that Allison meant him. Stiles to go to the winter formal with Lydia. I see Lydia frown. "Don't frown, Lydia. Someone could be falling in love with your smile." Allison walks towards the dresses. I follow once Lydia walks over to Stiles.

I go through the dresses, frowning, looking at Lydia drag Stiles around looking for a dress. He has like a million dresses in hand. "Oh - okay, so are you just gonna - try these on right now? All of them? Is this a 24 - hour Macy's?" I hear him asking. I frown even more. I am still looking over at them so I didn't even notice Allison walk over to me.

She must have saw me frowning as I was looking at Stiles and Lydia. "Wait." I hear her say. I look at her. "You like Stiles?" She asks me. I look down at my feet. "Oh gosh, Mel, I didn't know." She says.

I just shrug and say. "He likes Lydia anyway." I say then continue to look through dresses.

After a while of looking and Allison rushing out because her car got towed, I find a dress. It's a red strapless dress, that's kind of is like ruffled at the bottom, it's knee length. I showed it to Lydia and she loved it. So I got it.

Now, I am at the dance, getting out of my car. I came by myself. I see Allison, Jackson, Stiles and Lydian near Stiles jeep. I didn't really want to go over there but I knew I had to.

"Jackson. You look handsome." Lydia says to him.

"Obviously. It's Hugo Boss." Jackson says then walks away, with Allison following.

"I don't care. I don't want compliments. I will not fall prey to society's desire to turn girls into emotional, insecure neurotics who pull up their dresses at the first flattering remark." Lydia says.

Stiles looks at me and I give him a small weak smile. He smiles back.

"Well, I think you look beautiful." He says to her.

"Really?" Lydia asks. He nods then they go inside.

So now I am sitting at a table. Alone. As I'm sitting there playing with my fingers, Stiles comes up.

"You wanna dance?" He asks me.

"Pass." I say, looking up at him.

"You know what? Let me try that again. Melanie - get off your cute little ass and dance with me now." He says.

"Interesting tactic. I'm gonna stick with no. Why don't you just go dance with Lydia?" I suggest.

"She and Allison both told me that you liked me. That's why I am over here and not with Lydia. I don't care that Scott tried to kiss you or that your so stubborn when it comes to certain thing. And I know that ever since you came here I have liked you. And when you kissed me. I was really happy but when Lydia asked me here and you didn't try and stop her. That sucked because I really like you. And I'm probably the only one who knows that you don't want anyone to hurt you And that your probably scared to tell them what you think. And I know that the only college that you want to go to for being able to be a nurse and go to med school is UCLA." He says. Wow, he actually remembered some of that stuff.

I stand up and look at him. "It's Stanford." I say.

"What?" He asks me confused.

"I don't want to go to UCLA for nursing. If and when I go to college for nursing I want to go to Stanford." I say then walk pass him to the dance floor.

He soon joins me and we start dancing. I rest my head on his chest as we dance to the slow song playing. After about two songs we hear Coach yelling at Scott. Chasing him through the gym.

"Mccall! I see you! Come here, buddy. Come here. Mccall! Get outta my way! Mccall! It's a small gym, buddy. I'm gonna find you. I gotcha, Mccall! Come here, come here! Get outta my way! McCall!" Coach yells running throughout the gym, trying to chase Scott.

"Hey Stiles. Hey Melanie." He says as he rushes past us. I laugh.

"Danny, Danny, dance with me." Scott says to Danny.

"What?" Danny asks him, confused.

"Dance with me." Scott says.

"No." Danny says.

"Please! Right now! Right now!" Scott says then acts like he's dancing when coach goes over to them.

"McCall! You're not supposed to - What the hell are you do - What the hell are you doing?" Coach yells. By now the music is off and everyone is looking at the three of them. I look around and see Allison smiling, trying not to laugh. Her gaze meets mine. I smile gratefully at her, she nod and winks. I laugh and look back to where Scott is.

"Yes, coach?" He asks him.

"Okay, ho - ho - ho - ha ha." He looks around at everyone looking at him. "Hold on, you - I was just saying he's not supposed to - I mean, I wasn't saying that he shouldn't - You guys don't think - You don't - I - I was - Just dance, everybody. Just dance! Dance! It's a party!" He says then quickly walks away. The music turns back on and everyone resumes what they were doing before that happened.

"Thanks, dude, I owe you!" Scott says then goes over to Allison.

"What are you looking at, Greenberg?" I hear Coach ask. I laugh and look at Stiles.

"So I guess this night is going pretty good." I say to him.

"Yeah." He says. I smile and lean up and kiss him. He kisses me back. I wrap my arms around his neck as he wraps his around my waist. I smile into the kiss.

After a minute I pull away and look around. I notice 4 people in particular gone. Scott, Allison, Jackson and Lydia.

"Where is everyone?" I ask him.

"There's a whole room of people Melanie." He says looking at me confused.

"No. Jackson. Lydia. Allison. Scott. None of them are here." I say. I look at him worried.

"Why don't we go look for them." Stiles suggests. I nod.

"Um, I need to go make sure Allison is okay. So you go look for Lydia and Jackson and I'll try and find Scott and Allie." I say as we walk out of the gym and to the hallway.

"Are you sure we should split up?" He asks. I lean up and peck him on the lips.

"We'll both be fine. Okay?" I ask. After a few seconds of hesitation, he nods. "Be careful."

"You too." He says then gives me one last kiss and I nod and walk down the hall outside to the buses. I see two SUV's on either side of a gap between two buses. I see Scott on the hood of them both. In werewolf form I gasp loudly as I see Allison in a bus looking out the window to Scott. Allison now knows Scott's a werewolf.

Hey guys. So one more episode until season 2, damn, that was quick. Anyways what do you think about Melanie and Stiles? Cute? Or nah? I love them together.
