Selene watched the sight in horror. The Alpha just threw Derek's body to the side like a candy wrapper he no longer needed. His blood was once again all over her clothes. This was the second time she was covered in his blood in such a small amount of time. Last time she thought it was serious but this time... It looked final. She needed to check. Wolves can survive all sorts of wounds. They healed. But she couldn't move forward. All she did was stare at his body on the floor. 

"Selene come on!" Stiles shouted grabbing her arm. Her legs followed his lead, but she didn't know where they were going. She was in shock, her mind couldn't focus on anything. The only thing keeping her was Stiles' arm. With out him she probably would still be stood in that parking lot staring at Derek's lifeless body. 

Scott and Stiles ran into the school dragging Selene behind them. Once safely inside the school they closed the door behind them. Selene sat on the floor as they argued about how they were going to lock the door. All she could hear was the blood pumping in her head. It hurt. Everything hurt. She jumped slightly when she felt someone else touch her. The fog in her eyes cleared and she saw Scott looking concerned.
"Selene. Selene! Its okay, we've shut the doors. Stiles blocked them with his cutters." She lifted her head slowly and yes, Stiles' cutters were in the door's handles. "Selene look at me." She drunkenly looked back. "We need to get away from here. Do you understand?" She nodded. Both boys lifted her off the ground and they set off to find a safer place in the school.

Together they rushed to the nearest open classroom. Scott and Stiles went to put the teacher's desk in front of the door.
"That wont stop it." Selene spoke for the first time. Her voice almost sounded foreign to her. The boys stopped knowing that she was right. They just saw the alpha stick their arm through a man's torso, of course a wooden table wouldn't stop it.

"It's your boss." Stiles said hitting the table then pointing to Scott. Scott tilted his head in confusion. "Deaton, the Alpha, your boss!"
"No!" Scott said rather loudly. He winced at himself for being so loud.
"Yes!" Murdering psycho werewolf!" Stiles waved his arms around articulating his point. Scott shook his head.
"No, he can't be." Stiles scoffed at the response.
"Oh come on. He disappears, and that thing shows up ten seconds later to toss Derek 20 feet through the air? That's not convenient timing? He killed Derek!"

"Stiles." Selene groaned. Tears in her eyes. She was still struggling to accept it. So Stiles saying it out loud wasn't helping her cloud of delusion. Stiles winced as he realized what affect his words would have on the girl.
"Derek's not dead." Scott said before Stiles could say anything else. "He can't be." Selene nodded her head in agreement. Stiles looked at both of them with disbelief. He grimaced not knowing what to say.
"You guys... blood spurted out of his mouth? To me that doesn't qualify as a minor injury and we need to act fast before we are next." Stiles tried to make eye contact with the two wolves but they weren't looking back at him. He felt terrible. He knew what grief did and what you would tell yourself in hopes that it wasn't true.

"I refuse to believe he's dead. He killed Laura. He stole the Hale family power and now he has stolen Derek from me... I need to believe Derek is okay." Scott put his hand on her shoulder in comfort. Stiles looked on in jealousy. As he got to know the girl more he felt a connection between them. He wasn't sure what it was. Nothing he was taught at school could explain it. He knew he had a crush on Lydia. But he had no idea what was between him and Selene. It felt like a crush but more? Not love. Gosh no. But it was something. Like they were tied together with an invisible string. 

"What do we do next?" Scott asked once Selene had calmed down.
"We get to my jeep and we get out of here." Stiles gave his suggestion. Scott ran to the windows and began to pull them open. "They won't open. The school is climate controlled." Stiles explained. Scott scoffed.
"Are you serious?" Selene asked. Surely that was a fire hazard in the making.
"Then we break it?" Scott suggested. Stiles shook his head.
"Too much noise. The Alpha will know where we are immediately."
"Then we will run really fast!" Scott was getting frustrated. 

Something caught Scott's eye outside. He squinted at it to get a better look.
"Stiles. What's wrong with your Jeep?"
"Nothing is wrong with my Jeep." Stiles quickly rushed to the window and looked in the direction of his Jeep. The hood was severely bent. Suddenly something came flying through the window smashing it into a thousand pieces.
"It's my battery." Stiles cried out looking at the lump of metal in front of them. "We need to move!"
"But he could be right outside!" Scott warned,
"He is right outside." Stiles replied. 

Selene looked up slowly and saw nothing close.
"If we are moving I suggest we move now!" She pulled on both their shirts and began to lead them both from the room and back into the School's hallways.
"We need to go somewhere with no windows." Stiles confidently said.
"Every room has windows." Scott pointed out.
"Less windows." Stiles changed his specification.
"The locker room!" Scott immediately thought. "But wait. What about her?" He pointed to Selene with his head. Her mouth dropped in shock.
"I think the rules of gender designated rooms change when you are being hunted down by a murderous werewolf!" She shouted quietly to Scott. Stiles nodded in agreement. They began to walk to the locker room keeping an eye out for any signs they were being followed.

Once in the locker room Scott tried to get Stiles to call his dad but Stiles was having nothing to do with it.
"He has a point Scott." Selene agreed with Stiles. "A cop couldn't shoot me down never mind a fully formed Alpha. You saw what it took to get Derek when the hunter shot him and he... He still survived."
"Well we need to find a way out and make a run for it."

"I hate to be the one to kill all of your plans but the Alpha can run really fast. We might be able to outrun him for a few seconds but he will catch up. Especially since... Since Stiles is a human." Stiles was offended. He could run fast. He shook his head. No he couldn't.
"We might only need a few seconds." Scott said realizing something. "Derek's car. That will still work. All we need to do is get to the car and get out of here." Selene nodded with a smile.
"That would work!"

"Yes. Lets do that." Stiles said. He out his hands together thinking of the plan. "We take the keys from his body..." He looked at Selene in hopes he didn't upset her again.
"And we take his body." Scott added. Stiles opened his mouth to argue but Selene lifted her hands up.
"Guys stop. Listen." They all stopped talking and in the distance they could hear breathing and a scraping noise.
"Hide!" Scott said with urgency. 

Both boys jumped into their own lockers. Selene was left looking around. She had no clue where to hide. She didn't have a locker in here! Stiles opened his locker and grabbed her. She almost screamed in fright. Stiles put his hand over her mouth as she calmed down. She looked around the locker. It was rather large to fit two people in it. Her heart rate did not slow down and Stiles' heart was just speeding up the longer they were inside the locker. 

He slowly removed his hand from her face but he couldn't help but notice how close they were to begin with. Their chests were pressed together and they were breathing on each other's faces. Selene knew they would be found. If their breathing didn't give them away then their beating hearts would.

Someone was in the locker room. Selene closed her eyes and burred her face in Stiles' shoulder. They were going to die. This was it. They heard Scott scream and... another person. The other person gave out a rather human scream. They both jumped out of the locked ready to fight whoever it was. It was the Janitor. What was he doing here so late?
"What are you three trying to do!" The Janitor shouted. "All of you out! Now!" They all tried to warn him to be quiet but he was having none of it. "It's not me who needs to be quiet. You need to shut up an leave!" He slammed the locker room door in their faces. That was the last thing he did because seconds later his body was pressed up against the glass.

They all couldn't help but scream and run away frantically and with no real destination in mind. They were all so scared they didn't pay attention to each other and ended up splitting up. Selene ran into an open classroom. She waited for the two boys to follow her in but they never came. She peaked out of the room but there was no sign of them. How did she lose them? She pulled her phone out to try and text one of them but as luck would have it, it was dead. She put the phone back into her pocket angrily. 'What can go wrong will go wrong and when it does, it will go wrong in the worst way possible' she believed the saying went. 

She tried to calm down as the panic began to set in again. She looked around the room trying to find anything to defend herself with but it was no different to the original classroom they had locked themselves in. She wondered if she should go back to the locker room but it was immediately dismissed. She needed to think like Scott and Stiles. Where would they go? She groaned in frustration. Every room was the same. They could have gone anywhere! She took deep breaths. She needed to think like a pack member. Members of packs protect until the last breath. She left the classroom and walked towards the locker room hoping to catch a scent.

Before she caught a scent she realized someone was walking towards her. But only one person. The person turned the corner. It was Scott.
"Scott!" Selene shouted at the same time Scott shouted,
"Selene!"
"Where is Stiles? Is he okay?"
"He's fine. He's okay. He's worried sick about you. He's driving the others crazy." Selene tilted her head.
"The others? What others?"
"Oh! Allison, Lydia and Jackson."
"Why are they here? I don't understand what is happening."
"I don't either. But I have a plan. Could you join the others? I would rather one wolf with them just in case my plan doesn't work."
"Are you sure you don't need help?"
"I need your help by being with them. Please Selene. They are upstairs in the Chemistry room." Selene could sense his sadness and agreed. She wished Scott good luck before making her way up the stairs.

As she got closer and closer to the classroom she could hear 4 heart beats. Thank god she knew her way around the school. She knocked on the door in hopes not to scare the humans further.
"Someone's knocking." The muffled voice belonging to Allison said,
"Scott?" Lydia suggested.
"Why would he knock?" Jackson replied.
"Derek?" Lydia changed her suggestion. Selene was confused. Why would she think it was Derek. How does she even know who Derek is.
"He is less likely to knock." Jackson snarked.

"It's me." Selene whispered quickly putting an end to their silly guessing game. As entertaining as it was. 
"Selene." She heard Stiles gasp. There was some movement of chairs and tables but they opened the door. "Selene!" He repeated and hugged her close. For the first time tonight she was happy. His heart beat (although fast) was music to her ears. He was warm and smelt nice. She hugged him back. Not wanting to let go. If this moment could be frozen in time she would be ok with that. A cough from Jackson pulled them apart. 

"You told us she was dead." He sounded unimpressed. "You said Derek killed her."
"Derek..." Selene started but Stiles stopped her,
"No, I said Derek killed the Janitor and Selene went missing and we thought she was dead." He looked at her with a look in his eye which dared her to say something to contradict him. She was pulled into the classroom.
"How do we know she isn't working with him," Jackson accused her. The look on his face was one of aggression.

"Excuse me." Stiles took a step forward as if he was protecting her from Jackson.
"She is his... Sister? Whatever, who cares. How do we know she isn't working with him." Jackson stepped forward too.
"She's not." Stiles defended.
"I say we kick her out." Jackson practically spat. 
"No, we can't do that!"
"Stiles, don't you see. Your little girlfriend could kill us all. Why should we keep her in here with us?"

"I'm not going to kill you!" Selene managed to get out before someone else spoke.
"Of course you would say that." Jackson shook his head.
"Allison." Selene looked to her for help but she turned away. "Lydia." She turned to the red headed girl. Her eyes were watering slightly. If they kicked Selene out then she would die. While the classroom didn't offer much protection it was better than nothing.

"I don't think she is." Lydia agreed. "She stays here with us." Selene smiled at the girl who smiled back. She was smart. Smarter than anyone gave her credit for.
"Where's Scott? He should be back by now." Allison worried.
"I saw him earlier. He told me to come here." Selene tried to reassure but Allison didn't listen. The girl was worried but there was an underlining emotion. Allison was... angry? Before Selene could say anything else, they heard a key being inserted into the lock and then the key snapping. Allison began to knock frantically on the door trying to get it open.
"Stop. Listen." Lydia commanded. Allison did as she was told. In the distance there was police sirens! They were saved!

Once the teens had given their statements Sheriff Stilinski came over to Selene. She guessed this would happen. Because of Scott's and Stiles' story she was a child in the protection of a murderer.
"Look, Selene. I don't want you to be in this mess. God knows you don't deserve it." The Sheriff sighed. "It would kill me to see you in a foster home until this mess is cleared up, especially given..." He paused. "Your history." He finally finished. "So I've checked the book and I can have you put into protective custody with me at my home." Selene sighed.

"I understand Sir." He patted her on the shoulder before walking off to talk to his officers. Stiles came over confused to why his dad would want to talk to Selene.
"What was that about?" he asked his hands in his pockets.
"We are roomies! Your dad wants to keep an eye on me because of Derek." She tried to smile but she couldn't. Derek wasn't coming back. Although, they didn't find his body so she did have some hope that Derek wasn't dead. He had either gotten up and left or the alpha had him. 

"Selene." Stiles said pulling her out of her thoughts. "I... I thought for a moment back there... I thought we had lost you too." Selene genuinely smiled at the boy.
"I'm still here. Its going to take more then that to get rid of me..." She saw someone looking at them. She blushed slightly. "Your dad is watching us."
