Meilani, Stiles, Scott, Kira and Lydia all sat around in Noah's darkened office with Rafe and Noah. Noah was sat in the chair behind his desk while Rafe leant across the front of the desk with his arms crossed and Meilani got flashbacks to when he used to sit like that whenever her or Scott were in trouble. Much like right now because he was anything but pleased that his twins were in the same place as Barrow. Not like Meilani could even tell him why because he doesn't know about the supernatural and neither does Kira.

"So, when did you get there?"

"At the same time," Stiles responded and Meilani had to roll her lips into her mouth to stop herself from laughing, burying herself further into Stiles' side and holding onto the hand that hung limply under her chin.

Rafe shot Stiles an unamused glance to which Stiles merely grinned at and his eyes shifted to Meilani. "MeMe, help me out here."

Meilani fought the urge to roll her eyes at her father and absentmindedly played with Stiles' hand. "At the same time as me."

"By coincidence?"

"What do you mean by coincidence?" Stiles questioned, not understanding where exactly Rafe was trying to go with this.

"That's what I'm asking you. The two of you show up at the same time. Is that a coincidence?"

Meilani furrowed her eyebrows and flickered her eyes over to her father, feeling his intense gaze on her. "What? Are you asking me?"

"I think he's asking me," Stiles replied.

"I think he's asking the both of you," Lydia chimed in, crossing one leg over the other on the other couch that she was sat on with Scott and Kira.

"Okay, let me answer the questions," Rafe huffed and paused when he realized his mistake in wording. He narrowed his gaze at Meilani and Scott to wipe the amused smirks off their faces and sighed. "Let me ask the questions."

Stiles winked and pointed at Rafe to show him that he got it right that time and Meilani giggled quietly, whacking her boyfriend's chest lightly to knock it off. She really didn't feel like getting a Rafe lecture tonight, thank you very much.

"Just so I have this absolutely clear. Barrow was hiding in the chemistry closet at the school. Someone left him a coded message on the blackboard to kill Kira. Then Barrow took Kira to a power substation and tied her up with the intent of electrocuting her, which blacked out the entire town."

"Sounds about right," Scott said, fiddling with the end of his jacket as he felt like a small child being chastised for having his hand in the cookie jar.

Rafe's eyes flickered over to Stiles and it was obvious he hadn't believed a word they had said all night. Something that didn't necessarily shock Meilani because he wasn't exactly father or man of the year. "How did you know he'd take her to a power substation, Stiles?"

Stiles scratched the side of his head and Meilani could already hear the sarcasm in his voice before he even spoke. "Well, 'cause he was an an electrical engineer. Where else would he have taken Kira?"

Rafe seemed momentarily surprised that Stiles had come to a conclusion like that and considered the Stilinski's boys words for a moment. "That's one hell of a deduction there, Stiles."

"Yeah, what can I say? I take after my pops. He's in law enforcement," Stiles answered proudly, winking at his dad and pointing at him. 

Meilani and Noah both snorted at the action and quickly sobered up when Rafe shot them a glare to stay focused on the true task at hand right now. Not like Rafe would get much more out of Meilani and her friends because he didn't know about the supernatural and Meilani didn't necessarily care enough to give him any more than he actually needs.

"Stiles, just, uh... just answer the man," Noah coughed to cover up the laughter that still bubbled in his chest.

"We made a good guess."

Rafe rolled his eyes and his gaze bounced between his twins and Kira suspiciously. "Okay, and what were the three of you doing?"

"Eating pizza."

"Eating sushi."

Scott and Kira exchanged a look with each other, wondering why the other said the opposite thing. Neither one of them were technically wrong, but with how they had just responded, it made them seem like liars to Rafe who hadn't been at Yukimura household.

"Eating sushi and pizza," Scott and Kira said in unison this time.

"Stilinski, you believe any of this?" Rafe asked, turning to Noah in frustration.

"To be honest, I haven't believed a word Stiles has said since he learned how to talk. I think these kids found themselves in the right place at the right time and that girl sitting there is very lucky for it," Noah responded, motioning to Kira who sat awkwardly next to Scott.

"Kira, is that how you remember it?" Rafe inquired, turning to the Yukimura girl who tensed up at being called out on.

Kira glanced around the room at her new friends and their expectant gazes for her to say the one word that could let them all go home. "Yes. Could I get my phone back now?"

"Sorry, but no. We still need it as evidence," Rafe apologized and pushed off from the desk, signaling that they were done for the night. He lead the teens out of the room and handed Kira's phone off to one of the awaiting deputies. "Kira, a deputy is going to take you home, but we'll just need you to fill out some paperwork first, okay?"

Meilani offered the girl a small assuring smile and nodded for the girl to follow the deputy. Nothing else would harm her while they were here at the precinct. She went to walk out with Stiles and Scott when Rafe called her and Scott back, making Meilani reluctantly leave her boyfriend's warmth and stop in front of her father.

"MeMe, Scott, I don't know why you guys are lying or why Stilinski is so content to listen to this crap," Rafe chastised and Meilani felt Scott pinch her side slightly, knowing full well his sister was burning on a sarcastic remark. "Just remember something. If half this story about Barrow is true, then not only did someone help set him loose, but he was a pawn in their little game. A mass murderer is bad enough. A mass murderer being controlled by someone? Far worse."

"Yeah, Dad, we get it," Meilani sighed, not really needing any of that on her already throbbing brain.

"Alright, go home you two. It's a school night and I don't mean Stiles', MeMe. I mean home," Rafe said, pointing a finger in Meilani's direction so she knew he meant it.

Meilani puffed out her cheeks but relented and walked out to Stiles who leant against the front of Roscoe. She walked up to him while Scott climbed his way into the backseat of the Jeep. "My dad wants me to come home."

Stiles pouted at Meilani with big hazel eyes, acting like she wanted to go home. She would much rather go to Stiles' and wake up in his arms the next morning. "Who am I supposed to cuddle with then?"

"A pillow, I guess," Meilani mused, squeaking slightly when Stiles wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her flush against him. She looked up at him through her eyelashes and chewed the inside of her lip as her arms wrapped around his neck, playing with the hair at the nape of his neck. "I can always make it up to you tomorrow, though."

Stiles rubbed Meilani's sides and smirked down at her, groaning low in his throat. "Please tell me that's a promise."

Meilani merely brought Stiles down by the back of his neck and pressed her lips to him, feeling him pull her closer to him if that were even possible. She felt her whole body instantly relax in his arms and her heart rate sped up when Stiles cupped the side of her face with one hand while the other stayed on her waist. The two got lost in the quickly heating up kiss as the world around them seemed to blur out and it was just them to.

That was until a very loud car horn startled the two, causing them to scramble apart and away from the Jeep and each other. The couple turned to see Scott hanging in between the front seats with his hand on the horn, narrowing his eyes at the two. "Before I vomit all over this car, can we please go home?"

Meilani smiled sheepishly at her twin and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. She seriously needed to learn to rein in her hormones.

⏤⏤⏤⏤╗❀╔⏤⏤⏤⏤

The next day at school was all but a blur to Meilani. Scott had tried to talk to Kira when they first entered the school, but Stiles had stopped him. He didn't want Scott to get too close to Kira until they knew what she was. She couldn't be like Meilani because even Meilani couldn't walk through the amount of wattage that Kira went through and Meilani was an alpha. She had felt bad to keep Scott from Kira because she knew how much her twin liked the girl, but Stiles was right. They needed to be cautious right now until they could figure out what was going on.

Though, Scott didn't listen of course and found Kira during lunch. Something that turned out to be useful because Scott found out whenever Kira took a picture of herself with the flash on, a sort of firey electricity surrounded her. Barrow had somehow known about it and took multiple pictures of Kira with her phone before Meilani had showed up. Her phone that was still kept in the Sheriff's station and they needed to get it back before someone looked at those photos.

So, Meilani found herself outside the Sheriff's station with Stiles, Scott, and Kira on Halloween night. Scott and Kira had driven over on Scott's bike while Meilani rode over in Roscoe with Stiles. She had fiddled with her thumbs the whole way, feeling the weight of the world appear on her shoulders once again. It seemed like that the feeling would never fully go away.

"Okay, this one will get you into all of the perimeter doors," Stiles informed, handing Meilani a small white keycard before holding up another two. "This one into the evidence room and this one for my father's office."

"Babe, you didn't steal these did you?" Meilani accused, taking the other two keycards from Stiles and shooting him a look.

Stiles smiled innocently at his girlfriend and leant his elbows on the windowsill of the open Jeep window. "No. I cloned them using the RFID emulator."

"Isn't that worse than stealing?" Scott remarked.

"It's smarter."

Meilani snorted in amusement when Kira pulled Scott over to the side to talk to him privately. She didn't know that Meilani knew about the whole picture thing, but Scott and Meilani both told Stiles a small lie about Kira having naked photos on her phone that she'd really rather not have anyone see. Meilani felt bad lying to Stiles about the photos, but Scott had practically begged her not to say anything. He had only told her because she's the alpha and he needed her to help him and Kira break in. She made a joke about feeling used to which Scott gave her a look. She was just shocked Scott didn't see that joke coming.

"Okay," Stiles said once Kira and Scott walked back over to the couple. "So, now almost everybody's out dealing with the blackout. There is always somebody at the front desk, though. There is Dispatch and usually night shifter or two. You guys are gonna use the service door entrance by the dumpster. Alright? Nobody ever uses it. Now, I'll text you if anyone comes out, but, baby, if you get caught I can't help you. My dad is under investigation for an impeachment because of your dad, so, if anything happens I will run and leave all three of you for dead."

Stiles gave Meilani an apologetic look and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. "But I still love you and think you're the prettiest girl in the world."

Scott snickered and crossed his arms across the chest. "You can't use that line every time you're in trouble, dude."

"I will use it till I die, okay?" Stiles defended, pointing a stern finger at Scott to shut up. He dropped his hand from Meilani's cheek and exhaled heavily. "Look, I would have asked my dad, but you know..."

"No, it's fine, Sti, we get it. We'll be fine," Meilani assured her boyfriend, kissing his cheek before she ran off with Scott and Kira to get this done before they ran out of time.

Using the keycards that Stiles had given to them, the trio quietly snuck their way into the precinct and kept low to the ground so they wouldn't be seen by any of the few workers that Stiles mentioned. They had behind a near by desk with one of the night shifter deputies walked by, his radio crackling with random dispatcher notes or calls. They waited for him to grab the file he'd come in for and walk out.

"Stay behind me," Meilani quietly whispered to Kira and Scott, guiding the two quickly across the room and to the evidence room door. She swiped the card along the card reader and quietly pushed open the door, leading Kira and Scott inside. Once her brother and Kira were both safely on the other side, Meilani shut the door and cringed slightly when the door creaked as it clicked shut.

In the safety of the dark room, the trio stood back to their full heights and began to search the small room for where they had placed Kira's phone. With the three of them searching the small space, it didn't take long for Meilani to find it on top of one of the filing cabinets and passed it off to Kira.

Kira tore the phone from the small ziplock type evidence bag and tried to turn the phone on, but all that showed a was a battery bar with a red line at the end to show it was out of battery. "It's dead. We need to take it."

"No, they will notice that it's gone," Meilani declined, shaking her head. They were able to break in and delete those photos, but they wouldn't be able to get away with stealing the phone from evidence. "You have to delete those photos here."

"How do we charge it if the power is out?"

Scott's eyes trailed around the room for anything that could help Kira charge her phone so she could delete those photos. None of them wanted to find out what happened if those photos got into the wrong hands. He froze when his eyes suddenly landed on something on the small brown desk in the room and Meilani noticed he had found a a laptop sat on the desk. "See if you can find a charger cable."

Luckily they had found one in the top drawer of the desk and Meilani flipped open the laptop, freezing when she noticed the background once the laptop turned on. It was a photo of her and Scott sat on Rafe's lap. They couldn't have been more than two and the twins both grinned up at the camera, pointing at it with winks on their faces. Meilani was definitely surprised to see Rafe had made it his background on his laptop.

"Who is that?" Kira questioned, noticing the way that Meilani stared at the screen.

"Uh . . . that's Scott, our dad and I," Meilani whispered, still not processing that Rafe had actually cared that much. It made her remember the good days before Rafe walked out on all of them and they would do things every weekend as a family.

Kira smiled softly at the photo and plugged the chord into the side of the laptop, the wire lighting up a bright blue as she placed the charger into the bottom of the phone. The icon on the phone screen switched to the same icon as before but with the added plug over the battery to show the phone was beginning to charge itself back up. However, it would probably be a minute or two before the phone had enough battery to switch itself back on.

To make matters even worse, Meilani heard the sound of her father's voice and she scrambled over to the door to peak through the window and saw Stiles stood in front of Rafe, blocking the door that would lead to the evidence rom. 

"What do you want, Stiles?" Rafe questioned exasperatedly, placing his hands on his hips.

"Oh, shit, Dad is here," Meilani whispered to Scott, glancing over her shoulder at her brother with wide eyes.

"I was just... I was thinking on the case. I was thinking I should clue you in on my thinking. Here's my thinking. I was thinking this . . . I was thinking that Barrow, right . . . Barrow received the information about who to kill at the school, right, you know that? So I was thinking maybe the person who gave him that information, check this out, might actually be someone at the school," Stiles rambled and pat Rafe on the chest, who had glanced down to look at the pale boy's hand on his chest. "And that's, uh, my thinking."

Meilani felt her nerves spike as Rafe hummed at whatever Stiles said and whirled around to face to Scott and Kira with an expectant look on her face. She sighed in relief when Kira announced that the phone was back on and turned back to watch out in case Rafe decided to finish with Stiles before Kira and Scott could delete the pictures.

"You're right," Rafe said to Stiles.

"I am?" Stiles asked in shock, not expecting Rafe to say he was right in the first place. It was mostly just a mumbled mess of words to give his girlfriend and friends more time to delete the photos of Kira that had been taken.

"Yep. We, uh. . . started looking for links between Barrow, faculty and students last night."

"So you already, then, know that stuff? Hmm. You already thought of that."

"Actually, your dad did," Rafe corrected and Meilani felt satisfaction in the way Rafe sounded slightly annoyed that Noah had come up with such a good lead to go with. "His one useful suggestion."

Meilani tensed when she watched Rafe reach out his hand and the sound of the keycard reader beeping following shortly after. She willed Kira and Scott to work faster before Rafe walked in.

"You know, this attitude that you have toward my dad? You can dress it up to all the professional disapproval that you want, but I know the real reason why you don't like him," Stiles spoke up, stopping Rafe from moving anywhere. Meilani's eyes widened as she could smell Rafe's annoyance from where she was and Stiles' anger mixing together. 

Rafe chuckled softly and bowed his head, clearly finding in amusement in the way that Stiles could figure him out. "Is that so, Stiles?"

"Yeah, because he knows something that you don't want him to know and guess what," Stiles whispered, stepping in front of Rafe when he tried to walk around the boy with a shake of his head. "I know it, too."

Rafe froze once again and he eyed Stiles for a long moment, not knowing if he should believe Stiles' words or not. It was no secret that Noah and Stiles were really close with each other so if Stiles did know something then it wouldn't necessarily be a shock to anyone. Did Stiles know something that he hadn't spoken about? "Go home, Stiles. There's . . . there's a curfew."

Luckily for Meilani, Scott and Kira, the photos had been deleted by that point and the three rushed their way out of the office once it was put back the way it was and snuck off just as Rafe came into the area that the evidence room was. Meilani grabbed Scott and Kira's hands as she dragged them past the back rooms and out the back entrance before they were caught. The trio all high fived as they made their way back over to Stiles who was leant up against the side of Roscoe.

"We did it. All the pics deleted," Meilani breathed out in relief, feeling a bit of the weight on her shoulders lift.

"That was awesome!" Kira cheered and laughed out in joy that they had actually pulled it off. "I mean, terrifying. Completely terrifying . . . but kind of awesome. I've never done anything like that before. Have you?"

Meilani smirked to herself and exchanged a look with her two boys. They had definitely done this more than any of them would like to admit, but that didn't mean that they weren't still proud of themselves for pulling all of that off. "You know . . . once or twice."

It was awkwardly silent between the four for a long moment as they tried to find what to say to the other. They were all still getting familiar with each other so they didn't have much to go on and say at the moment. However, Scott, Stiles and Meilani had to get to Danny's Halloween party before Isaac started to wonder where they were. Meilani had told him to go on ahead without her and the boys and they would meet him and Allison there a bit into the party. 

"Hey, Kira, you wouldn't want to go to a party would you?"

⏤⏤⏤⏤╗❀╔⏤⏤⏤⏤

"It just showed up there on my key ring this morning," Stiles yelled over the bumping music in Derek's loft. All the lights had been kept off and black lights had been posted around the packed loft, illuminating everyone's body paint and any white clothing that someone happened to be wearing. It was like being in a random rave and Meilani clutched onto Stiles' hand so she wouldn't lose him in the crowd of Beacon Hills students. "I asked my dad if he put it there but he said he didn't know anything about it."

Meilani furrowed her eyebrows and tried to piece together what the significance of a key could be. Stiles had rambled about a random key being on his keyring that morning when he got to school and he had no idea how or why it got there. It had apparently been bothering him all day as he couldn't figure out what the significance of a random key was. "It's just a key, right?"

"Yeah, but still not mine. I don't know how it got there or what it's for."

Meilani stopped her boyfriend from walking and noticed the distant look in his eyes, his brain visibly racing. "Babe, do you want to leave so we can figure it out?"

"No, no, baby," Stiles frowned, squeezing her hand and tugging her away from Scott and Kira so they could have some alone time together. "You just broke into the Sheriff's station and you deserve one night of normalcy, okay? I am going to give you normalcy if it kills me."

Meilani bit her lip and tugged Stiles over to a nearby table with the body paint on it, stopping in front of it where thankfully not too many people were. Though, if Meilani were honest, she didn't care because she was about to get her normal few hours that she needed after almost being caught by her father for trying to delete supernatural pictures from her new friend's phone. She sent Stiles a flirty grin and quickly unbuttoned the buttons on her flannel, revealing her toned stomach and lacy purple bra - aka Stiles' favorite bra.

"Does that normalcy include you painting my body?"

Stiles wrapped an arm around Meilani's waist and tugged her close to him, grabbing the paintbrush with the other hand. He brought his mouth down closer to Meilani's ear and pressed a kiss to her neck just beneath her ear. "Can I paint your body with something else later?"

Meilani shuddered in Stiles' grip as she felt his kisses move lower, gasping quietly when Stiles kissed her sensitive spot between her neck and shoulder. "We can mix the paint later."

Stiles smirked against her skin and sucked it for a minute before he pulled away and held up the brush, relishing in the lust that suddenly filled his girlfriend's brown eyes. "How about I paint that beautiful body like Picasso then, huh?"

Meilani had allowed Stiles to paint her chest and stomach with the brush, giggling quietly as the brush tickled her skin. The body paint was a bit warmer than Meilani had originally anticipated, but she chalked that up to her warmer than normal body temperature with being a werewolf. She rose an eyebrow at Stiles when he drew a small heart over where her actual heart should be.

"Guess you can I say I gave you my heart, baby," Stiles whispered to her, smirking before he bent down to press a kiss to her lips. He stepped back to admire his art work and grinned when his eyes landed on her ribcage.

Meilani furrowed her eyebrows at his too happy of a grin and looked down to her stomach to see PROPERTY OF STILES STILINSKI #24 along her stomach. She raised her eyes slowly to him, her red alpha eyes flashing for a moment to show he was in trouble. She barely had the time to hear him gulp before he was pressed up against the pillar behind them, her lips instantly going for his neck.

"Baby . . ." Stiles groaned, weakly trying to get Meilani off his neck as he didn't want to walk around with a mark on his neck. "Lani . . ." He eventually gave up when the pleasure got too much and eventually just let his head limply fall back against the wood behind him. He groaned quietly to himself and gripped at Meilani's waist.

After a minute, Meilani slowly pulled away and dried his neck as she admired his work. A decent sized mark was beginning to bloom where his neck and shoulder and she bit her lip, poking it and causing Stiles to flinch at the tenderness of it. "Hmm, I did pretty good. Didn't even need to canines for that."

Stiles panted as his eyes slowly fluttered open, his hand coming up to rub at the spot she sucked at like a damn vampire. His eyes were blown wide with lust and he had to blink his eyes a few times to reorient himself, the music bumping dully in his ears as all he could focus on right now was his beautiful girlfriend before him. "Wow . . ."

"You claim me, then I claim you just as hard," Meilani told him, swiping the paintbrush at her boyfriend's lips and making them shine orange under the UV lights. She ripped open Stiles' flannel and grinned cutely as she drew a massive heart on Stiles' chest and stomach. Inside the orange heart she wrote M + S 4 EVER. She smiled to herself when she saw Stiles' look of protest at the writing.

"I hate you."

"Aw, I love you, too, babe," Meilani teased, reaching up on her tip toes to kiss Stiles softly and her hand going in his hair. "Now, come dance with me."

Stiles' eyes widened and he frantically nodded his head, still lost in his lust after the kiss Meilani had just given him. He smiled a smile that was so filled with love Meilani thought she was about to combust from the sight of it. She had pulled the two to the side of the dance floor where they could dance without being swarmed by people and let go of Stiles' hand so they could dance properly.

Meilani laughed as Stiles began to dance frantically and weirdly, doing something that resembled the sprinkler. She watched him in amusement and giggled when he suddenly pulled her into him, taking both of her hands and twirling her. He bent to press a kiss to her forehead and the two spun away from each other before spinning right back. She wrapped her arms around Stiles' shoulders and began to dance against him while he held her waist.

The sound of keys falling to the floor alerted the two and Meilani noticed that Stiles' keys must have fallen out of his pocket during their dance. She squatted down to pick up Stiles' keys, but froze when she noticed the top of the random key had been glowing. She didn't remember getting any paint on the keys since they had been in his pocket the entire time and nothing even glowed under the UV lights besides the body paint or . . .

"Stiles . . ." Meilani cautiously called, slowly standing back to her feet with the glowing key in her hand. "Please tell me you were the one to be handling chemicals since you've gotten this key."

Stiles' blood ran cold as he stared at the key, an uneasy feeling settling in both Meilani and Stiles' guts. "If I did . . . I would be lying."

If that wasn't enough to make Meilani's blood rage in her ears, when she happened to glance to the side to see where Scott and Kira were . . . she noticed something around Kira's head. It was like a flow of orange light and it formed the shape of a fox head around Kira's face. However, it flickered away by the time Kira turned her head to follow Scott away from the jumping and dancing crowd.

Meilani went to turn to Stiles to suggest they go find Scott and everyone when a familiar loud growl pierced her eyes. Her eyes snapped around the loft as she tried to find out where it had came from. It sounded exactly like Derek and she gulped at how in pain he sounded. 

After that, everything happened pretty fast. Derek showed up at the loft and all but flung the DJ table down onto the ground, smashing the table and the DJ set up into pieces. He turned to the crowd and growled in a deep, booming voice for everyone to get out. It had only taken all of a minute for the crowd to disperse. Leaving behind the pack, Ethan, Aiden and five guys in all black with masks, a black shadowy fire behind all of them. All the masked figures turned to one person in the room.

Ethan.

"Guys, they're all looking at me," Aiden announced, eyeing all the shadowy men warily. He stumbled back a step when all the men took one threatening step forward, not moving their masked gazes from Aiden. "Why are they all looking at me?"

Meilani shared a glance with both Derek and Isaac, the three nodding at each other before they all rushed at the shadowed men. She swung her clawed hand at the masked man, but he effortlessly dodged it and ducked out of her way. When she turned to jump and kick at the air behind her when the other masked man came up, her foot went through him and he disappeared into a shadowy smoke.

Meilani duck and rolled when the first man she tried to fight tried to come up behind her and attack. She threw several punches at the man that he effortlessly dodged before his hand thrusted forward and sent Meilani flying across the room, crashing into the wooden pillar that her and Stiles had been previously pressed up on. She coughed weakly as she rolled onto her back and hissed at the pain that shot down her spine at the action.

Pushing herself up weakly onto her elbows, Meilani panted heavily as Stiles ran over to her to check on her. She whined when he moved her a certain way to cradle her back against his chest. They watched in horror as two of the masked men grabbed Aiden by the biceps, holding him still while another pulled out a long sword from inside his chest like it was a pocket. Its glowing yellow eyes stared at Aiden, grabbing the back of his head and holding it there for a second.

Aiden's eyes began to feel heavy and he went slightly limp in the two men's grip. The sound of sizzling was heard as the masked man swiped the tip of his finger down the back of Aiden's ears. They dropped a now unresponsive Aiden to the ground and Meilani suddenly had a burst of energy as she pushed off Stiles, her alpha eyes glowing red and her canines growing out. 

Meilani growled threateningly at the masked men and took a step towards them, challenging them to even try to fight her. She'd fight until every single one of them was brought down, even if it killed her. Though, before Meilani could charge forward with Isaac and Derek, the sun began to trickle through the wall of windows at the back of the loft, blowing away the mean into shadowy dust.

"Derek," Meilani breathed, turning to Derek with her canines still out and red eyes still glowing. "What were those things?"

"Your dad's twenty-four hours are up," Isaac snapped at Allison.

The loft fell into a heavy silence after that, everyone stuck in their own heads as to what the hell just happened in the loft. The only two people seeming to know the tiniest bit was Isaac and Allison and Meilani was determined to shake the both of them until they squealed. 

At least, it was silent until Stiles decided to open his mouth.

"Lani, we aren't mixing the paint later . . . are we?"
