Her feet hit the man made path. Her ponytail swaying side to side as Mikky Ekko ran through her ears. Today was the day, she started her new role as captain of the cheerleading team. It was something Violet was touchy about. The Stilinski only joined the team as her mother was once a cheerleader for Beacon Hills. Violet did it for her but it lost it's glow after her mom died. The things that were fun just didn't matter anymore.

'' Violet!'' She screamed, her reflexes kicking in. The supposed attacker groaned and fell to the floor in a crumpled heap.

Opening her eyes, she gasped realising what she did and who she kicked. '' Derek?!'' She crouched to his level, a frown on her face. '' Why are you here? Especially scaring the crap out of me.''

'' I came to see if you were alright.''

'' Why? Shouldn't you be worried about Scott?''

'' Scott can handle himself.'' She gave him a look. '' Okay he can't but neither can you.''

'' I can handle myself. I protected myself from you only seconds ago.'' Violet told him, a smile on her face.

'' A kick to crotch isn't protecting yourself. It only stops the attacker for a short period of time.'' He replies as he she helps him up. '' I could train you, help you build your strength.''

A look of surprise appeared on her face. Why her? Why does she need protecting? She's nothing special just a girl, a human. '' Okay. I have cheer after school but I can meet you after.''

'' Cheer really?'' He smirked earing a punch in shoulder.

'' Don't be a jackass. I was just starting to tolerate you.''

*

'' So your telling me he had a dream about killing Allison?'' Stiles nodded. '' And it actually came true because there is a beaten and bloodied bus in the lot?'' He nodded once it again. '' Couldn't it be a coincidence? Like a really big one?''

'' It could be. But Allison isn't wolf chowder. So who was in the bus?''

'' Maybe he caught a rabbit Stiles.'' Opening her locker, a note fell out of it.

Picking up and handing it to her. He replied. '' That's just gross and wrong and if he did he ate he raw. Ughh.''

'' What? Nothing wrong with a bit of Thumper.'' She giggled shutting the locker, her eyes connecting with Jackson's. He winked and turned back to his locker. '' Look Stiles, we will figure it out but not right now. I have plans.''

Stiles frowned but before he could speak the girl was gone. Violet opened the note, a smile on her face. It was always the little things that made her heart flutter.

*

'' Why don't you wear your cheerleading outfit more often? I like it.''

She giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck. '' Cheerleader kink hey?''

Smirking he pressed his lips to her, she instantly responded. His hands roamed her body making her squirm as per usual. She gasped as they made their way under her skirt.  It could of gone further it should of but her phone rang, ceasing their intimate actions.

'' Don't get it.''

'' Jackson it's Lydia.'' She lied, the phone read Derek.

'' Fine.'' He said getting his back and walking away in a foul mood. Glaring at his back, she answered the phone.

'' You have really shitty timing you know that?''

'' Oh I'm sorry was I interrupting your make out session.'' She frowned.'' I wonder what Lydia would say?''

'' What do you want Derek?'' She questioned grabbing her bag and walking towards the field where cheer practice is held.

'' I'm just calling to make sure your serious about training.''

'' I wouldn't of said yes if I wasn't.'' A blonde girl waved her over, a smile on her face.'' Look Derek I have to go. I have practice but I will be at yours after.''

'' Who was that?''

'' A pain in my ass. You ready Care?''

'' Oh I'm so ready. Let's give the newbies hell.'' They both grinned and linked arms as they headed towards the group of try outs.

*

After a long practice, it was time for lunch. The two girls told everyone that they will regroup after lunch. '' They were terrible.'' Caroline laughed as she grabbed an apple.  Her eyes scanning the cafeteria for her boyfriend.

'' Caroline they were laughable. They can't cheer but we'll work with them. They are best we got.''

'' And if worst comes to worst we just don't qualify.''  Violet face fell, grabbing her lunch, she followed Caroline to the table her friends sat at including her brother and the pup.

'' Boys what are you doing here?'' She questioned as she sat in between Danny and Stiles.

'' Having lunch.'' Stiles answered earning a glare from the girl.

'' How was try outs Vi?''

'' Laughable and excruciating.'' Violet eyes narrowed at her best friend who looked like she was up to something?'' What are you up to?''

'' Nothing.''

'' Lydia Martin.''

'' We are off on date. Me and Jackson. Allison and Scott and your coming.'' The strawberry blonde told the girl no room for ifs and buts.

'' Oh so I'm the fifth wheel.''

'' No your off with one of Jacksons friends. You'll set her up won't you?'' Jackson face was emotionless, his nails digging to his palm. Jealously coursing through his bones. '' Jackson?''

'' Oh yeah sure.''

Violet glared at Jackson who sent one back. '' Well Lydia as lovely as that sounds. I can't, I have plans.''

'' With who?'' Jackson, Lydia and Stiles said in unison.

'' That's for me to know and for you to dot, dot, dot.'' Violet left the table going back out to the field, ignoring her friends calls.''

*

She fell to the ground, her head hitting the charred floor. A groan left her lips but she swung her leg out making the beast fall. He growled and reached for her arm but she disappeared. He got up, his senses on high alert. A smirk was on her face, she came up from behind him and was ready to jump but he caught her and threw her onto the couch, dust rising as she collided with it.

'' Seriously that is the fifth time you've done that.''

'' Yes but during the past three hours  you've gotten better. Your thinking ahead and just in the moment.''

'' Oh okay Yoda.'' She grinned while he just rolled his eyes. '' But you got admit I'm pretty good.''

'' Your better than most, I'll admit it. Where did you learn to box like that?''

'' I used to watch matches with my dad. It was our time together and when classes started, I immediately wanted to join. I wanted to become the best boxer in the world but cheerleading came and it kind of took over my life.'' Her mind goes back to the time, she took down one of the biggest bullies in fourth grade. He hurt her brother, so she hurt him. The adrenaline she felt was nothing like she has every experienced and she's never felt like that again.

'' I saw you today during your practice.''

She raised an eyebrow. '' You were spying on me. That's how you know about me and Jackson.''

'' That is a conversation for another time. Today you were doing your cheers, a smile on your face but it didn't fully meet your eyes. You Violet don't enjoy cheerleading.''

'' Of course I enjoy it.''

'' Don't lie to me Vi. I can always tell when people lie.''

'' Okay.'' She threw her hands up in the air giving in and sat up on the couch. '' I did enjoy it. I loved cheerleading and see my mother in stands clapping and cheering as I did my routine was the best thing ever. Her smile was one of the greatest things to ever witness and when ever I cheered it was the biggest smile. And after she would take me and Stiles for pizza, we would talk and laugh and play in the arcade.

My mom was a cheerleader, so I followed in her footsteps. I want to make her proud and carry on but she died and what was fun wasn't anymore.''

Derek was now sat beside her as the girl poured her heart out. Violet couldn't understand why she was pouring her heart out but with Derek she felt a connection, a connection she could quite fathom. She knew that she didn't like him in that way, her eyes were set on Jackson. So what is it that makes so easy for her to trust him and talk to him?

A car pulled up outside, both of them frozen. '' Derek?'' Derek grabbed her hand and dragged her upstairs pushing her into a room and shutting the door. '' Derek what is going on?''

'' It looks pretty deserted, dispatch. Do you want me to take a look inside?'' The officer spoke in to his radio, Violet eyes widen at the voice.

'' It's Adam. '' She whispered, Derek nodded and looked through the broken window.

'' Unit 16, it's county property. Orders, to make sure its vacant.'' A frazzled voice replied to the officer, the man gulped not wanting to look inside the burnt building.

'' I don't think anyone is home.''

'' For the love of God, 16, go inside and see if anyone is in there.''

'' Okay. Okay.''

Derek stared at the man, than at his cruiser. The shepherd in the back became uncomfortable and began to bark making the officer jump. The dog began to bark more viscously and tried to claw his way out. '' Don't do that.'' The officer told the dog, the dog didn't stop. It was now crying and whining. '' Okay, Okay I'm coming.'' The officer got back in his cruiser and drove off with out a second look.

'' Thank God.'' She let out a sigh of relief. '' What did you do to that dog?''

He didn't reply just continued to look out into the woods but before she could let out another word, Scott's voice rang out.

'' I know you can hear me. I need your help.''

Derek left the room but not before telling Violet to stay hidden. She complied and stayed in the crisped room and continued to look outside.

''Okay. I know I was part of you getting arrested and that we basically announced you being here to the hunters. I also don't know what happened to your sister. But I think I did something last night. I had a dream about - someone. But someone else got hurt. And it turns out that part of the dream might have actually happened.'' Scott told the wolf.

''You think you attacked the driver?''

''Did you see what I did last night?''

'' No.'' Derek answered.

'' Can you at least tell me the truth? Am I gonna hurt someone?''

'' Yes.''

'' Could I kill someone?''

'' Yes.''

'' Am I gonna kill someone?'' Violet could tell by the look on Scott's face, he was scared but she knew it wasn't about the driver.

'' Probably. Look, I can show you how to remember. I can show you how to control the shift, even on a full moon. But it's not gonna come for free'' Derek explained.

'' What do you want?''

'' You'll find out. But for now, I'm gonna give you what you want. Go back to the bus. Go inside. See it, feel it. Let your senses - your sight, smell, touch - let them remember for you.''

''That's it? Just - just go back?'' Scott questioned not believing what Derek is telling him is true.

''Do you want to know what happened?''

'' I just want to know if I hurt him.''

'' No, you don't. You want to know if you'll hurt her.'' Derek told him, Scott sighed but left the property but not before catching a scent, a scent that has become more distinctive the past couple of weeks, the scent of the girl he's dreamed about. Violet.

Violet left the room and walked down the stairs to be greeted by Derek's emotionless face. '' You know you could just be a little nicer to him. ''

'' Being nice is weak.''

'' Yet your nice to me.'' He glared where as she smiled. '' Derek?''

'' What?''

'' Couple of nights ago, I was driving home and I saw something.''

'' What did you see?''

'' What I assume was a wolf but it had red eyes. It smiled at me and than ran off.''

Derek's face hardened. '' Violet. Go home. Call when you get home okay.''

She knew it wasn't a question. She nodded and said bye and began her walk through the woods.

*

Derek pulled up to the gas station, Violet's training session filtering through his head. She was good, amazing actually. The past training and the fact that she is a cheerleader and her drive could make her an excellent fighter that is if she wants it.

''Nice ride.'' A voice sounded out, Derek rolled his eyes but carried on filling his car with gas. ''Black cars, though. Very hard to keep clean. I would definitely suggest a little more maintenance. If you have something this nice, you want to take care of it, right? Personally I'm very protective of the things I love. But that's something I learned from my family. And you don't have much that these days. Do you?'' Derek remained silent.  He watched on as Chris Argent cleaned his windshield. ''  There we go. You can actually look through your windshield now. See how that makes everything so much clearer?''

'' You forgot to check the oil.''

Chris smirked. '' Check the man's oil.'' One of the hunters smashed the glass allowing him to see the oil gage.

'' Looks good to me.''

'' Drive Safely.'' Chris gave him a smile and began walking back to his car when Derek's phone rang, he stopped noticing that Violet's name flashed on the screen, he clenched his fists.

'' You weren't the only one to find out about Violet Chris.'' Derek was now the one smirking. '' We all know my aunt had a child and I didn't find out who the father was till later on, her diaries are very descriptive.''

'' Stay away from her.''

'' Why would I do that? She's family.''

'' I'll kill you.'

The phone rang one more time, Violet was getting frustrated. Derek smirk grew as he answered the phone and put it on loud speaker. '' What is the point of having a phone if you don't answer the damn thing.'' Chris wanted to smile at her words, she has the attitude that her mother once held. '' I'm home. No monsters just tub of ice cream and roll of cookie dough.''

'' Seriously?''

'' I'm pissed so yes.'' She hung up and chucked the phone, she shouldn't be pissed but Jackson hadn't spoken to her since this morning. She knew that the phone call she received this morning pissed him off, she couldn't exactly say it was Derek Hale and then we she said she had plans just made him jealous and when he's jealous he's a dick.

Derek got into his car and smiled at Chris. '' Drive safely now.''

*

'' Derek! I know you're here! I know what you did!'' Scott shouted anger radiated off him in waves.

'' I didn't do anything.''

'' You killed him!'' Scott shouted referring to the bus driver who was attacked in the bus.

'' He died.''

'' Like your sister died?''

''My sister was missing. I came here looking for her.''

''You found her. ''

'' I found her in pieces, being used as bait to catch me. ''

'' I think you killed them both. I'm gonna tell everyone, starting with the sheriff.'' Scott charged at Derek throwing him against the wall.

'' That was cute.'' Derek got up his face morphed to his wolf, he grabbed Scott's neck and threw him to the ground.''I didn't kill him. Neither of us did. It's not your fault, and it's not mine.''

''This? This is all your fault! You ruined my life! ''

'' No, I didn't.'' Derek let go his face turning human.

'' You're the one who bit me.''

'' No, I'm not.''

'' What?''

'' I'm not the one that bit you.''

''There's another.''

''It's called an Alpha.'' Derek informs Scott of the other wolf prowling Beacon Hills.'' It's the most dangerous of our kind. You and I, we're betas. This thing is more powerful, more animal than either of us. My sister came here looking for him. Now I'm trying to find him. But I don't think I can do it without you.''

'' Why me?''

'' Because he's the one that bit you. You're part of his pack. It's you, Scott. You're the one he wants.'' Derek answers but not telling him everything. Derek knows that the alpha just doesn't want Scott, he knows that he wants Violet.

Violet entered her room, throwing her phone on the bed. She was tired, her limbs were sore and aching. She turned to the window, her eyes on the street as she began to shut her curtains but not before a red glow emitted from outside, she stopped. The red glow was familiar but she shook it off and carried on closing her curtains only when a growl reached her ears.

Violet swallowed thickly, turning away from the curtains she came face to face with the beast, she saw on the road a couple of nights ago. '' Please don't hurt me.'' She cried, tears now streaming down her face. '' Please.'' The beast growled then lunged, she screamed.

Her bedroom light was turned on, her father rushed in, his gun in his hand. The sheriff lowered when he saw no threat. He looked to his daughter who had tears streaming down her face. '' Vi? What's wrong?''

She choked on tears as her father wrapped his arms around her. She fell asleep on his shoulder a few minutes later but her dreams were full of red eyes and bloody teeth.
