Melanie's POV

So I have been at the hospital all weekend. After what happened with Lydia almost dying and mom d- gone, I had to stay away from the house for a few days, so I have been staying in a very uncomfortable chair in the waiting room. Stiles didn't want me to be alone so he has stayed to. Sheriff has been trying to ask minimum questions about mom and the murders. They blamed her for all of them, like how Scott and Stiles did when we were trapped in the high school, running from the Alpha. Allison wasn't mad about me knowing she knew I was trying to protect her and Scott. She also has been hiding her relationship with Scott. Uncle Chris and aunt Victoria don't want her dating him.

Stiles is asleep on the chair, next to me. He keeps mumbling in his sleep but I wasn't focused on that. I was looking at my phone, looking at picture's of me and mom. I know what she did was wrong, it's just she was my mother and now she's gone.

"They have been here all night." I hear Lydia's dad say about me and Stiles.

"They've been here all weekend. Lydia is her best friend and Stiles is Melanie's boyfriend." I hear Melissa say. Me and Stiles aren't dating but I'm not going to correct her.

I notice a nurse getting the trash bag fro the bin that's next to Stiles. "Dirty." I hear him mumble. The nurse looks at him like he's crazy then leaves. He keeps mumbling things. "You're dirty." I hear him say. I roll my eyes letting him sleep until I hear my name come from his mouth. "Melanie, you're di-" I cut him off by putting my hand over his mouth, trying to shut him up.

"Stiles. Wake up." He doesn't. "Stiles!" I yell. He jumps and falls off the chair. He looks around, alarmed.

"What? What's wrong?" He asks.

"You were talking in your sleep. have a nice dream?" I ask him, sending him a playful wink. "Come on, I'm hungry." I say. I reach my hand down to help him off the floor. He takes my hand and I help him up. We start walking to the vending machine, when I realized that he is still holding my hand in his. I look at him. He must have felt my gaze because he looks over at me. I give him a small smile. I stop at the vending machine pulling out a dollar in quarters from my purse. I put them in and hit the numbers for the Reece's Peanut Butter Cups. It falls down into the slot where you can grab it. I smile and grab it. I open it and take out one, I take a bite and offer the other one to Stiles. He shakes his head and takes out his own money and puts it into the machine. He tries and gets the same as I got.

"Paging Dr. Stateman. Dr. Stateman, please." Someone on the intercom says. By now Stiles is like shaking the vending machine.

"Seriously? Come - " He starts.

"Stiles, just take this one." I say and gesture to the second one in my hand.

"No. Mel, I can get it." He says and shakes the vending machine. "Just - Gah! It's not gonna work." He says. It starts tipping, he pulls me to him as it falls. "Whoa!" I look up at him and laughs.

He looks down at me, I notice that I was still holding onto his arm. I blush and smile a little. He smiles and leans down I go to connect my lips to his but a scream stops me. I know that scream.

"Lydia?" I run down the hall with Stiles following. "Lydia!" I say as I get to her room. I hear the shower running. "Lydia?" I ask as I go in. I get no response so I open the shower curtain, revealing no one behind it.

"What the hell was that?" Melissa asks rushing in here with Lydia's *Jackass* father.

"Lydia?" I whisper looking out of the window.

"Naked? As in nude?" The Sheriff, Stiles' dad, asks Melissa.

"I'm pretty sure they mean the same thing, but, yes, as far as we know, she left here clothing - optional." Melissa replies.

"All right, you checked the whole hospital, right?" He asks.

"Every last corner." Melissa says.

"Nothing suspicious?"

"Nothing. She just took off." Melissa says.

"All right, let's get an APB out on a 16 - year - old redhead." He says into his walkie-talkie thing. He looks back at Melissa. "Any other descriptors?"

I walk up to them and start explaining my best friend. "She's 5'3", green eyes, fair - skinned, and her hair is actually strawberry blonde." I say. The Sheriff looks at me and then his son and then our connected hands. He looks back at me.

"Is that right?" He asks.

"Yeah." I say. He grabs my arm and the back of Stiles' neck and brings us away from others.

"Uh - come here. What the hell are you still doing here?" He asks his son. I knew I should have made Stiles go home.

"Um, providing moral support?" Stiles says, grabbing my hand and giving it a small squeeze.

"Uh - huh. How 'bout you provide your ass back home, where you should be." His dad says to him. I look down at the ground.

"Okay, I can do that too." Stiles says.

"Yeah." Sheriff says.

"Mm." Stiles says.

"We're gonna find her, so don't worry." He says looking at me, I slowly look up at him and Stiles. "Melanie, why don't you go home too. I know you've been here all weekend." He says. I give him a small nod and Stiles pulls me out of the hospital.

We go over to his jeep to see Scott sitting in the passenger side. I go through the drivers side and climb in the back.

I hand Scott Lydia's robe, from tonight, out of my jacket."This is the one she was just wearing?" He asks. I nod. "I'm not gonna let anyone hurt her. Not again." He says to us. I nod, blinking back tears. My moms dead and now my best friend ran off into the woods, naked and alone.

"All right, just shove the thing in your face and let's find her." Stiles says then turns on the jeep. He was about to leave but someone was standing right in front of the jeep. Allison. "Wow!" Stiles exclaims, while I scream a little, she scared the hell out of me.

"What are you doing here? Someone's gonna see us." Scott asks her when she comes up to the window. They have been secretly dating behind Uncle Chris and aunt Victoria's backs.

"I don't care - she's our best friend," She gestures to me and herself. "and we need to find her before they do." She says. I nod.

"I can find her before the cops can." Scott says.

"How about before my father does?" Allison asks. My eyes widen.

"He knows?" I ask her worriedly.

"Yeah. I just saw him and three other guys leave my house in two SUVs." Allie explains.

"Search party." Scott says.

"It's more like a hunting party." I say.

"Get in." Scott says to Allie. She gets in, climbing over Scott, and sits down next to me. She gives me a smile which I return.

"All right, but if she's turning, would they actually kill her?" Stiles asks as he drives down the road, Scott has his head out of the window.

"I don't know. They won't tell us anything. Okay, all they say is, "We'll talk after Kate's funeral, when the others get here."" Allie says. I tense at the mention of my mother. My mother's funeral.

"What others?" Stiles asks.

"We don't know, they won't tell us that yet." I say.

"Okay, your family's got some serious communication issues to work on." Stiles says.

"Yeah." I say.

"Scott, are we going the right way?" Stiles asks him, he still has his window out of the window.

"Take the next right!" He yells. Stiles turns.

"She came here? You sure?" Stiles asks as we walk near the Hale House. This is where Lydia's scent leads to.

'Yeah, this is where the scent leads." Scott says.

"All right, but has Lydia ever been here?" Stiles asks.

"Not with us." Allison says. I shake my head no.

"Maybe she came here on instinct, like she was looking for Derek." I suggest.

"You mean - looking for an Alpha." Scott says.

"Wolves need a pack, right?" Allison asks.

"Not all of them." He says about himself.

"But would she have been drawn to an Alpha? Is it an instinct to be part of a pack?" I ask them.

"Yeah, we're - we're stronger in packs." Scott says.

"Like strength in numbers." Allison says.

"No, like - like, literally stronger, faster, better in every way." Scott says.

"That the same for an Alpha?" I ask him.

"That'll make Derek stronger too." Scott says.

"Whoa, hey, look at this. You see this? I think it's a tripwire." Stiles says looking at something on the ground. Me and Allie start laughing as Scott ends up hanging upside down.

"Stiles -" Scott says.

"Yeah, buddy." Stiles gets up and looks at him. "Oh."

"Next time you see a tripwire - don't trip it." Scott says. I smirk.

"Yeah, noted." Stiles says. We got to help him but he stops us.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Someone's coming. Hide. Go!" Scott says to us. My eyes widen. Stiles grabs my hand and we hide behind some bushes with Allie.

We stay hiding until Uncle Chris and the others leave.

"You okay?" Allison asks as we go back over to Scott.

"It's just another life - threatening conversation with your dad." He says to her. Allie goes up to the rope connected to the tree.

"Melanie, Stiles, help me with this." Stiles goes and helps her but I stay still, knowing Scott can use his claws to get out of the trap.

"Thanks. But I think I got it." Scott says landing on the ground.

"Yeah." Stiles says.

"Uhh!" Allison says.

"Comin'?" Scott asks as he starts walking to where the jeep is. I roll my eyes and the three of us follow.

The next morning Stiles picked me up and now we are walking up the steps to go inside.

"She ate the liver?" I ask him, with a horrified look on my face.

"No, I didn't say she ate it. I just said it was missing. And you know what? Even if she did, so what? It's the most nutritious part of the body." Stiles says. I roll my eyes.

"I never ate anyone's liver." Scott says to us.

"Yeah, right, 'cause when it comes to werewolves, you're a real model of self - control. Actually, wait - hold on. You're the test case for this, so we should be going over what happened to you." Stiles says.

"What do you mean?" Scott asks him confused.

"I mean like what was going through your mind when you were turning, you know? What were you drawn to?" Stiles asks.

"Allison." Scott answers. I roll my eyes.

"Okay, nothing else? Seriously?" Stiles asks him.

"Nothing else mattered. But, no, that's good, though, right? 'Cause the night that Lydia was bit, she was looking for Jackson." Scott says. I nod and we walk to class.

Scott and Stiles went to go talk to Jackson, which was really no help at all so now we are in Mr. Harris' class taking a pop quiz.

"What if the next body part she steals is from someone who's still alive?" Stiles, who is sitting next to me, whispers to Scott who is in front of us.

"This is a pop quiz, Mr. Stilinski. If I hear your voice again, I may be tempted to give you detention for the rest of your high school career." Mr. Jackass- I mean Harris, says to Stiles.

"Can you do that?" Stiles asks. I mentally face palm and roll my eyes.

"Well, there it is again. Your voice. Triggering the only impulse I've ever had to strike a student repeatedly and violently. I'll see you at 3:00 for detention." He says to Stiles. Scott holds in a laugh. "You too, Mr. McCall?" He asks Scott.

"No, sir." Scott replies.

I was now at my locker. Allie was in class or somewhere off with Scott and Stiles is at his locker. I hear two girls talking behind me.

"Not her aunt, her mom. The one who murdered all those people." I hear Harley say. I squeeze my eyes shut.

"You mean the crazy bitch who killed all those people?" Some girl says.

"Yeah, the fire, all those animal attacks - it was her mom." Harley says. I blink back tears.

"Are you kidding? I sit next to her in French." The girl says, Maddison is her name, now that I think about it.

"Find a new seat." Harley says to her. I slam my locker shut, attracting the attention of a few others in the hall. I hug my books to my chest and walk down the hall. I walk past a classroom but get dragged inside. Oh god, it's Derek to come and kill me. Great I'm gonna die. The person lightly pushes me against the door closing it. I open my eyes and see Stiles. And by now I'm crying.

"Ho- how'd you know?" I ask him.

"I know you. I heard those girls and I know you." He says.

"I - I - I - I - I can't - I can't do this. I can't - I can't go to the funeral. Everyone is going to be watching me, and there are going to be cameras there, and I can't - " I say stuttering and crying.

"Mel, yes you can. You'll get through this. We will find Lydia and it's gonna be okay. No Alpha's no more killings. It's gonna be okay again." He says.

"I can't go and be like this." I gesture to myself.

"Aren't you supposed to cry at funerals?" He asks rhetorically.

"She- my mom killed over a dozen people. How am I supposed to cry about the person who did that?" I ask him.

"It doesn't matter. You know, you could be - Crying for you, you know? You lost someone. You lost your mother. Maybe Kate wasn't totally who you thought she was, but you still lost her. You lost the person you new before she did all of that and the one who took care of you. You lost your mom that loved and cared for you." He says. He grabs my face with his hands an wipes away my tears with his thumb.

"You're- you're right." I say.

"You'll be okay. And I'll make sure. I'll be there." He says I look at him confused.

"What?" I ask him.

"I'll figure that out. But- but I'll be there. Not right next to you but I'll- I'll be there." He says. I nod and give him a small smile.

"Thank you." I say to him.

He leans down and kisses me. I kiss him back. We pull away. I smile at him and he smiles back. "Come on. You have detention." I say to him. He rolls his eyes.

(Melanie's funeral dress ^up top or on the side <>) Me, Ally, Uncle Chris and Aunt Victoria were walking through the crowds of camera men, snapping pictures and trying to get us to answer questions. We finally push past all of them and get to my mother's grave. I sigh and sit down next to Allison.

"Hey." Ally says to me. I look at her. "It's gonna be okay. I'll be here." She says. I nod and give her the smallest smile I could muster up.

"Okay." I say then look at the coffin that holds my mother.

Right now I actually want to be at home watching General Hospital or The Vampire Diaries. I see a guy walk up with two others. He's kinda old. Well not kinda. He goes over to Uncle Chris and shakes his hand. The mutter something but I don't really care to listen.

He walks over to me and Ally. "Do you remember me?" He asks us both. Me and Ally look at each other then back to him. We shake our heads yes but we both know we're lying.

Considering I haven't seen you both since you were three, I don't suppose I can assume you'd call me grandpa. So if it's comfortable, call me Gerard for the time being. But I'd prefer grandpa." He says. I give him a small nod. I look over to a gravestone a little ways away. I see Stiles and Scott, I give them a small smile. Allison looks over too causing Gerard to look over. They quickly hide behind the gravestone. He sits next to Allison.

And the funeral begins.

After the funeral I get a text from Stiles telling me to meet him somewhere. When I get to where he is he's with his father by an ambulance. I walk up to them.

"Hi Sheriff. Hey Stiles." I say to them.

"Why are you here?" Sheriff asks me.

I look at Stiles then to him. "I was out for a walk and saw this, so I came over."

"Okay." Sheriff says. I look around and notice someone within the tree lines. I notice the strawberry blonde hair.

"Ly- Lydia! Lydia!" I call out. She is covering herself with her arms.

"Well isn't anyone gonna get me a coat?" She asks. I smile a little then look at Stiles.

"Turn around." I say to him. I look at Sheriff. "Can I see your coat?" He quickly nods and takes off his jacket.

"Yeah." He says. I take it and rush over to my best friend.

I put the coat around her then hug her. "You scared the hell out of me." I walk her over to the sheriff who takes her to the hospital.

Stiles drives me home. I don't leave the car though.

"Hey." He says. I look at him. "Are you okay?" He asks.

"No." I say. He leans over the middle and hugs me. I hug him back. "Thank you." I whisper.

"Always." He says. I smile at him then kiss him. He kisses me back.

I soon pull away. "So what are we?" I ask him.

"What do you mean?" He asks.

"We went to the formal kinda together. We kiss and hug and you helped me. So what are we?" I ask him.

"What do you want to be?" He asks me.

"More than just kissing. I want to be with you." I say to him.

"Well, Melanie Argent, will you be my girlfriend?" He asks me.

"I'd love to be your girlfriend." I say and kiss him.

He smiles into the kiss. I soon pull away. "Thank you." I mutter.

"Always." He says. I laugh a little.

"I should get inside, you know before Uncle Chris comes out here." I say.

"Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow?" He asks.

"Yeah. See ya Stilinski." I say then give him a small kiss.

"See you tomorrow Argent." He says. I smile then go inside.

I go up to my room. I see my window open. Okay, that was closed before I left. Oh god, Derek's here to kill me. I'm really gonna die this time. Oh shit.

I turn around and see him standing by the corner of the room. "Okay, if your gonna kill me then just do it. Just kill me and get it over with." I say to him. I throw my small purse on the bed. "Just kill me." I tell him.

"I'm not gonna kill you." He says.

"What?" I ask him confused. "Why?"

"Because you didn't do anything wrong." He says.

"But my mother-" I start but get cut off.

"It was Kate not you." He says.

"Why are you here?" I ask him.

"To say sorry. You lost your mother by murder the same way I lost mine. No matter who she was. I'm still sorry." He says.

"Th- thank you." I say. He nods and leaves.

I go into my bathroom and look in the mirror. What the hell has my life turned into. I go into my room and change into pajamas then lay down, keeping on my light. Half of me is still scared that Peter is still alive and gonna come and kill me.

I soon fall asleep.
