"Laur, wake up,"

Taylor kept poking her sister, who groaned. She huffed.

"Lauren, please," Taylor said. "I need you to drive me to the hospital,"

This made Lauren shoot up. "What? Why? Are you hurt?"

Lauren cupped Taylor's face, checking for injuries. Taylor slapped her hand away.

"Not me, dimwit. For Chris. Mom and Dad got a call last night saying he's improved a lot,"

"What? Why didn't they tell me?" Lauren asked, rushing to her closet to get changed.

"Well, they thought since you had a rough day yesterday that you should sleep in," Taylor said, sitting down on Lauren's bed. "Y'know, breaking up with Camila and whatnot. Hey, wanna stop at Dunkin on the way to the hospital?"

"What?" Lauren's head snapped up.

"Dunkin Donuts? I want hot chocolate. And a donut. Do you think they would have mint hot chocolate yet since it's November?"

"No not that," Lauren shook her head. "I broke up with Camila?"

"That's what mom said. She said you called her toxic and she left in tears," Taylor looked up from her phone. "So was that a no for Dunkin?"

"Oh crap," Lauren groaned.

Yesterday was definitely a low point. She was angry, and emotional. Camila just happened to be in her path. She felt like an ass.

Lauren banged her head against her wall, scolding herself.

"Dude, what's your problem?"

"Shut up, Tay,"

Taylor rolled her eyes, not understanding Lauren's displeasure. Shouldn't she be happy that their brother was okay?

"Let's go," Taylor tugged at Lauren's arm. "I'm hungry,"

"Then feed yourself, you chicken. I have to get ready,"

"Just throw on that gay flannel you always wear. The blue and green one," Taylor shrugged. "It's a hospital. Everyone is suppose to look like crap,"

"Get out,"

Lauren ran her hands through her hair, sighing.

Camz, she thought. She waited for a reply.

Camz, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it

Camila never responded. Lauren felt defeated.

"I wonder what he thought about while he was in a coma," Taylor asked, looking outside the window while Lauren drove. "What do you think he dreamed about?"

"I don't know," Lauren said, annoyed.

"I wonder if he remembers who we are, or if he got amnesia or something. If he doesn't remember us do you think I can make him my servant?"

"Taylor, shut up,"

"Jeez, what's got your panties in a twist?"

Lauren turned up the volume of the radio, trying to tell Taylor she wasn't in the mood for talking.

"Fine, be that way," Taylor grumbled.

Chris's eyes lit up when he saw his sisters.

"Laur! Tay! Hey, what's up?" Chris smiled, waving.

"The doctor's said not to move too much!" Clara scolded, stopping his arms.

"Whoops, sorry," Chris said, unapologetically.

"Hey kid," Lauren said, confused. "You feeling alright?"

"I feel great!" Chris beamed. "Like, stronger. I'm in no pain at all,"

"Wait what?" Lauren asked. She turned to her dad. "How is this possible?"

Michael shrugged. "Nobody has an explanation,"

"Can I leave today?" Chris asked. "I want to go home,"

"The doctors still need to check you out," Clara said. "Since you only woke up a couple of hours ago,"

Something seemed different about Chris, to Lauren. It was like his aura had shifted, or something. It was weird.

Chris scratched his arm, the one with the IV in it. Lauren gasped. She saw the bite marks on his arm. They looked fresh.

Shit.

"Oh, and Laur, the craziest thing happened," Chris said. "I had this dream, your girlfriend was in it,"

"Ex-girlfriend," Taylor coughed.

"I was walking through the woods, it was pitch dark, but the moon was so bright," Chris explained. "Camila was there, and so was this other woman. They both wore these like, Greek silver flowy dresses, and the woman's hair was the color of the moon. There was a dog next to Camila, I think it was a husky or something, and her eyes were like, golden,"

Lauren pressed her lips into a thin line, nodding. "So, uh, did Camila do anything else?"

"Yeah! I asked her what was going on, and she smiled at me. Oh, wow, she has a great smile, did you know that?" Chris asked Lauren, getting a dreamy look in his eyes.

"Get to the point,"

"Right. So I asked Camila what was going on, and she smiled at me, before looking up at the moon. I looked at it, it was really shiny, and when I looked back, Camila and the woman were gone. Just the dog stayed,"

"And then what?" Taylor asked.

"Then I woke up," Chris sighed. "But it was a pretty awesome dream. What do you think it means?"

~~~

"They're gone," Dinah exclaimed, walking through Liam's empty house.

"Fuck,"

Liz paced through the house, trying to get a connection with something... anything.

"Flying the coup like this makes me think something's up with Wolfy McPayno," Niall tapped his chin. "I don't like it,"

Dinah stared at the Irish vampire.

"Why did we invite him again?" she asked Liz.

"He's harmless," Liz assured. "I checked,"

"You got nothing to worry about lil' darlin'," Niall said to Dinah. "We're all friends here,"

"But why would they just leave?" Zayn asked, leaning on the door frame. "Like, they knew what we're up against and they just... leave?"

"It was weird for me too," said a deep voice, coming behind Zayn. Zayn jumped.

"Harry?" Zayn asked. "What are you doing here?"

"I live here,"

"Well, obviously," Zayn rolled his eyes. "I mean why aren't you with the others, mate? Where are they?"

"Dunno. They just left," Harry shrugged. "Except Liam. He went to Wolverhampton. His parents live there. He said he needed to get away from all the stress,"

Liz stared at the werewolf, then back at the ancient blonde vampire. "Oh,"

"Huh?" Dinah asked.

"Nothing. I just saw something," Liz said. "Interesting,"

"Okay, quit being the mysterious broody Sabrina the teenage witch. Spill, Alex Russo,"

Liz pursed her lips. "I've never seen a werewolf be mates with a vampire before,"

"What?" Dinah asked, mouth dropping open.

"Yeah,"

"Oh god," Zayn said. "Are you serious?"

Liz nodded.

"Wow," Harry said, slowly. He studied the vampire. "Then how come my eyes didn't turn blue when I saw 'im? How come I didn't get the feeling?"

"Cause he's undead. I don't really know. I've never seen something like this," Liz said.

"Yikes!" Niall exclaimed. He ran a hand through his hair. "Well, this is awkward,"

"I knew Harry's gay," Zayn said under his breath.

"Me too," Dinah said. "Who do you think is gay in our pack?"

Zayn was taken aback. He raised his eyes at Dinah.

"What?" she asked.

"You're literally in a relationship with a girl,"

"Oh, right," Dinah realized. "Right, there's that. I am very not straight,"

~~~

"Laur, can you bring this up to Chris?" Clara asked, handing Lauren a sandwich on a tray with an apple. "The doctors should be done with him by now,"

They were in the hospital cafeteria, eating lunch. Chris was currently getting checked out by the doctors.

"Sure," Lauren mumbled. She was wallowing in her dumbness, wondering how she was going to make this up to Camila.

"Thanks, and we'll be up in a little," Clara said as Lauren got up.

Lauren slowly made her way to Chris's hospital room, the nurses rushing past her. She was about to open a door, when a nurse stopped her.

"Sorry, honey. He's only allowed to see family," the nurse said.

Lauren tilted her head. "I am family. I'm Lauren, his sister,"

"The girl inside told me she was Lauren," the nurse said, more to herself then the girl.

"Oh, okay," Lauren said, making her way through the door. She shut it behind her. There was a girl sitting on Chris's bed, her back faced to Lauren.

"And the eclipse, that's-"

"Two week, yes,"

"C-Camila?" Lauren stuttered.

Camila turned around, nervousness flashing across her face.

"Hey," she said quietly.

"Hi," Lauren breathed out. "H-how are you?"

"I've been better," Camila shrugged.

"Y-yeah, me too-"

"Did you know I'm a werewolf?" Chris smiled happily. "I mean, Camila is too, did you know that?"

Lauren looked at her brother, so happy, so aloof. She wondered what Camila and him were talking about.

"T-thank you," she stuttered. "F-for saving him,"

"You're welcome," Camila nodded timidly. "It was the least I could do, considering..."

Camila looked at her hands, pursing her lips. "Considering, I dragged you into this,"

Lauren nodded dully. An awkward silence fell upon the three of them.

Lauren heard noises come from outside the hall. Taylor, Mike, and Clara walked in seconds later.

"Oh, Camila, how nice to see you again," Clara smiled.

"You too, Mrs. Jauregui. But I was just leaving," Camila said, getting up. She dusted off her plaid shirt. "I need to go to work,"

"Okay, well, thanks for stopping by," Mike said, patting the girl's shoulder. "See you around, sport,"

Camila nodded, going to open the door. "It was nice seeing you guys again, and Chris," Camila said, looking at him in the eyes. She had yet to explain the empathy link. He'll find out soon enough. "If you need anything, you know where to find me,"

She shut the door behind her.

"That was nice of her," Clara smiled. "Such a sweet girl,"

"I like her," Mike agreed, Lauren pushing past him to rush after the werewolf.

"Camz!" Lauren called. Camila turned around, shoving her hands in her pocket.

"Hey,"

"Hi,"

Lauren shifted on her feet, hands held behind her back.

"Um," Lauren scratched the back of her head. "I really appreciate what you did for him,"

"For you," Camila corrected. "I am sorry for getting you tangled up into my mess,"

"It's our mess, I'm just as much involved as you are," Lauren admitted. "That didn't make it right for me to lash out at you. I'm really sorry,"

"It's okay," Camila said quietly. "I'm sorry, too,"

"But you shouldn't be," Lauren argued. "None of this was your fault,"

Camila shrugged. "I am still sorry,"

Lauren sighed, looking at the girl. She didn't know what to say next.

"I l-"

Camila's phone went off. It was Dinah's, ah, special, ringtone.

"What?" Camila asked, scrambling to turn off the embarrassing song.

"GAY. THE IRISH VAMPIRE IS GAY. HE'S A LITTLE SMOL GAYBY," Lauren heard Dinah yell through the phone.

"What?" Camila asked again.

"GET YO ASS HOME CHANCHO. WE GOT STUFF TO DISCUSS," Dinah abruptly hung up.

Camila stared at her phone. "Uh..."

She turned to Lauren. "Uh, I'll see you tomorrow?"

Lauren nodded, watching her... girlfriend? Ex girlfriend? Soulmate? Whatever. Watching Camila leave. She pulled out her phone, opening the cheerleader groupchat.

Lauren [1:34]: need help

Zendaya [1:34]: what's up?

Normani [1:34]: wut is it

Lauren [1:35]: I need a promposal idea

~~~

Camila, Ally, and Bea dragged Dinah across the courtyard.

"I don't wanna," Dinah complained. "I'm tired,"

"It's not our fault you decided to watch all of the last season of The Bachelorette last night," Bea said, tugging at Dinah's arms.

"Sleep is important for a growing girl like you," Ally chastised. "You should be getting at least eight hours of sleep every night,"

"I would if school started at 10 rather than 7," Dinah groaned.

Someone tapped Camila on the shoulder.

"Maia?" the Alpha asked. "What's up?"

"Come with me," the cheerleader said, taking Camila by the arm.

"Mila!" Bea called.

"We can't carry Dinah by ourselves! We're small!" Ally yelled.

"She'll be right back!" Maia reassured, taking Camila across the field. They stopped in the middle.

"What?" she asked Maia. The other girl winked.

"Just wait," she said.

"Hey Mila!" someone called. "Catch!"

Camila's head whipped to the sound of the voice. A white disk came flying at her. She jumped up.

The disk got caught in between her teeth, Camila dropping it in her hands when she landed.

"Heads up, Cabello!" someone else called. Camila grabbed the disk with her hands.

"Watch out!" Camila handed the two disks to Maia, before grabbing the one that came at her. And the other. And the other.

"Huh?" she asked the girl, taking all five disks in her hands.

"Spell them out," Maia explained. Camila saw there was a letter on each of them.

P R O M ?

"I know this isn't much," said a voice. Camila's head snapped up.

"But I remember you said you wanted to pang frisbee in Florida. Sorry this is so late," Lauren ran a hand through her messy hair. She cleared her throat. "And, um, I'm really sorry about what I said the other day,"

"It's okay-"

"No, it's really not. I shouldn't have said that, and I'm so sorry," Lauren sighed. "But, um, I do want to make it up to you. Do you want to go to the winter formal with me?"

Camila's face broke out into a huge grin. She nodded. "Of course I will, you dork,"

The cheerleaders that helped Lauren clapped, and Lauren smiled widely.

"OH SHIT, Camren," Dinah said, stumbling into the group meeting. "I would definitely go to school for this,"
