Ares's Pov

"You let Derek turn Erica!" I yelled at my sister the second I stepped foot inside our house.

After learning that Erica had been turned by Derek of all people and that my sister knew, that she let it happen, I was angry.

I was angry that Derek was just turning teenagers without a care in the world.

I was angry that my sister knew and wasn't doing anything to stop it.

Or at the very least talk to Derek, since they are mates and dating, and remind him that what he's doing is very risky.

So when school was over I went straight home.

And I had one mission on my mind.

And that was to confront my sister about what was going on and demand for some answers.

Emerson, who was sitting on the couch scrolling through her phone, sighed as she sat up straighter.

"Ares, I can explain" Emerson said.

"Explain the fact that your boyfriend is biting random teenagers left and right" I scoffed.

Emerson sighed as she stuffed her phone into her pocket.

"Derek isn't turning random teenagers. He's turning teenagers that he believes has potential to be werewolves" Emerson explained.

"How is that any better? Are you not aware that they're still teenagers?" I asked.

"Yes I am aware" Emerson sighed.

"Oh really? So why are you letting Derek turn them? First Isaac and now Erica, who's next?" I asked.

Does she not realize that her freaking boyfriend is turning random teenagers into werewolves?

Does she not realize that he is forcing them into a life that they won't be able to get out of?

"Derek talked to Isaac and Erica before biting them. He warned them that once they accept the bite it can't be undone. And they both accepted it without hesitation" Emerson explained.

I raised an eyebrow at that and crossed my arms over my chest.

"Did he tell them that being a werewolf is what makes them get hunted and potentially killed?" I asked.

"He didn't. But I did" Emerson said.

"Oh that makes me feel so much better" I sarcastically smiled.

"Ares..." Emerson trailed off.

I shook my head and uncrossed my arms, letting them drop to my sides.

"No, don't try and act like what he's doing is ok. What the hell is he trying to gain by turning them?" I asked.

"A pack, Derek wants to build a pack of his own" Emerson revealed to me.

"So he's biting teenagers in order to gain that. He just can't find other werewolves, ones that were born and not bitten, and offer them a place in his pack" I scoffed.

He can build a pack in a different way.

Biting teenagers left and right is just wrong.

Especially when they're still just kids that shouldn't be getting dragged into this mess.

"It's not that simple, buddy" Emerson sighed.

"No, it is that simple. Derek just wants to do things his way and bite random teenagers for no reason" I huffed.

My sister groaned and threw her arms in the air in exasperation.

"Oh my god, you seriously don't get it do you?" Emerson asked.

"Get what?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

Emerson grumbled under her breath and ran a hand through her hair before leaning forward.

"Isaac was an abused kid for nearly his entire life and Erica was a girl that always got picked on because she's epileptic. Being turned into werewolves gave them the opportunity to be stronger. Isaac no longer has to live in fear and Erica no longer has to worry about having any seizures or other side effects. This bite is a gift for them" Emerson explained.

I simply stared at her with my lips pressed together tightly.

Emerson, noting my silence, continued speaking.

"And while they're still new to this Derek and I are going to train them. We're going to make sure that they can defend themselves, that they're safe and that they are prepared when they have to go up against hunters" Emerson finished.

When she was done talking I stared at her, unsure of what to say.

I seriously don't see how she or Derek think that any of this is alright.

I get that Isaac and Erica willingly accepted the bite but once they realize just what type of mess they got themselves into, they're going to regret it.

Because the life of a supernatural is anything but easy.

Especially with hunters.

After a few minutes of silence I let out a laugh of disbelief and merely shook my head.

"This is crazy. Derek is crazy and so are you" I told her.

Emerson looked offended at that but I really didn't care.

I shook my head at her before grabbing my bag that I had tossed onto the other couch.

"I'm gonna get some homework done before the double date Stiles and I have with Scott and Allison" I said.

With Lydia tagging along with us.

But I didn't need to tell my sister that.

"Ares-" Emerson started but I ignored her.

I simply turned around and made my way upstairs to head to my room.

And most likely stay there to not only finish my homework but to wait until my boyfriend arrives.

At The Ice Rink

After finishing my homework I got a text from Stiles saying that he was outside waiting for me.

I grabbed my phone and a few other things before leaving the house.

I didn't bother saying goodbye to Emerson or Isaac since I wasn't in the mood to speak with either of them.

When I got into the passenger seat of Stiles's jeep he greeted me with a loving smile and I greeted him with a kiss to the cheek.

He drove off to pick up Scott and after that we picked up Allison and Lydia.

Once we were all in Stiles's jeep we drove off to the ice rink.

It took us a while to get there but we were ecstatic when we finally arrived.

All of us got out of the jeep and Stiles pulled out the keys that Boyd had given him and pushed opened the doors.

He turned on the lights and faced all of us with a grin plastered on his face.

Scott and I grinned at him as we made our way inside as did Allison and Lydia.

Allison grabbed Scott's hands and led him away, most likely to put on their skating shoes, with Lydia following behind them.

I entered the ice rink and smiled at Stiles before grabbing his hand and dragged him with me.

The two of us grabbed some skates before sitting down on the bleachers to put them on.

"So, remind me again why redhead is with us?" Stiles asked, gesturing to Lydia.

"Because I invited her" I told him.

"Why? This was supposed to be a double date not a hang out" Stiles asked.

"Because Lydia is my friend and she deserves to have fun too. I talked to Allison about it and we both agreed that her tagging along would be good" I explained.

Whether she wants to admit it out loud or not, she is still heartbroken over the breakup with Jackson.

Which makes no sense to me since he was jackass and Lydia deserves better.

But he was her first love and all so I guess I can't really blame her.

And since she's still heartbroken I figured that bringing her with us to the ice rink would help take her mind off things.

Stiles huffed and turned to glare at Lydia.

This made me sigh and, once my skates were on, scoot closer to him and gently take his hand in mine.

"Look, you don't have to like her. But just set aside whatever you have against her just for tonight. Please" I softly said.

Stiles said nothing and simply continued staring at Lydia.

Finally, he let out a sigh and turned to me while nodding his head.

"Alright, fine" Stiles told me.

I smiled at that before leaning in to give him a peck on the lips.

"Thank you" I said.

"For you, anything" Stiles softly said.

I hummed before grabbing his arm and dragged him over to the rink so we could begin skating.

Scott and Allison were already skating together with Allison helping her boyfriend since that boy really can't skate.

No joke.

He's been falling on his ass for more than once.

It was hilarious if I do say so myself.

As Stiles and I made our way onto the rink we stopped when we saw Lydia already skating.

But she was doing more than that.

She was doing tons of amazing tricks and it made me grin at her.

Lydia has been skating since she was a kid. She basically did everything as a kid but she tries to hide it from others for whatever reason.

While she was spinning herself around Stiles was staring at her in shock.

I laughed at my boyfriends look, he was clearly not expecting that.

When Lydia was done doing her amazing tricks she turned to us with a big smile plastered on her face.

She then skated over to us and I began clapping for her.

"Nice job, Lyds. That was great" I told her with a smile.

"Thanks, Ares" Lydia smiled.

She then looked at Stiles and saw that he was still staring at her in shock.

Lydia raised an eyebrow at him while placing her hands onto her hips.

"What? You can't ice skate as well as me? Or at all?" Lydia sarcastically asked.

She looked at me and winked before ice skating away from us to have fun of her own while she was here with us.

I chuckled before turning to my boyfriend just in time to see him snapping out of his shocked state.

"You know, I might not like her but even I have to admit she's good" Stiles said.

"Right" I nodded.

I grinned before grabbing my boyfriends hands.

"Come on, we're here to have fun. Lets skate together" I told him.

Stiles grinned and said, "sounds good to me".

Just like that the two of us were off skating together.

We were holding hands the entire time we were skating, never once letting go since we didn't want to part from one another.

Everytime we did go skating we were always either holding hands or sticking by each others side.

You can never separate us. It's the truth.

We've been attached by the hip even before we started dating and it's going to stay that way.

I laughed in delight when Stiles spun me around and I was lucky I didn't fall.

But, then again, I have been skating for a while so no need to worry there.

"Do you wanna try something?" Stiles asked.

I raised an eyebrow at him, "try what exactly?" I asked.

"This" Stiles grinned.

I squealed in surprise when he lifted me off the ground and held me up in the air.

"Stiles, what the hell are you doing?" I asked, looking down at him.

"This is what I wanted to try especially when I've seen professional ice skaters do this while performing" Stiles told me.

I glared at him as I placed my hands onto his shoulders.

"Yeah, they're called professional ice skaters for a reason. We aren't professionals. What if we fall?" I asked.

Stiles scoffed as he began to slowly skate backwards, still holding me.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to let that happen" Stiles told me.

"Babe" I sighed, tightening my grip on his shoulders.

"Look, we're doing fine. See? Nothing-" Stiles started.

He yelled in surprise when he missed a step, thus causing him to fall backwards.

Thus bringing me with him since he was still holding me.

The two of us yelled as we landed on the ground with Stiles lying on his back and me lying on top of him.

We groaned in pain before we looked at each other.

"You were saying?" I sarcastically asked.

Stiles huffed but said nothing since he knew there was nothing he could say to defend himself.

I laughed and shook my head at him.

"If we ever do this again, which we won't, we have to be more careful. Got it?" I asked.

"You won't catch me arguing" Stiles chuckled, nodding his head.

I laughed and soon my boyfriend joined me.

When our laughter died down we simply stared at each other, neither of us really moving from the position we were in.

"We should probably get up. Your back is probably getting cold" I told him.

I tried getting off of him but that was proved to be impossible.

Especially when Stiles wrapped his arms around me and kept me in place, not letting me move.

"My back is fine and, if anything, I love the position we're in" Stiles smirked.

I blushed at that smirk of his, it always turned me on.

Well, to be fair anything he said or did always turned me on.

Stiles then leaned up and pressed his lips onto mine, which caught me by surprise.

But I obviously didn't mind, did I?

I hummed into the kiss, easily melting into it, and gently cupped my boyfriends face with my hands.

Stiles wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer if possible, while I moved my hands down to rest on his shoulders.

Just as I could feel him getting ready to switch our positions, a scream stopped the both of us.

We abruptly pulled away from our kiss and turned around, just to see Lydia on the ground while screaming her lungs out.

Nothing but horror shown in her eyes.

"Lydia!" I yelled with wide eyes.

I hurriedly got off of Stiles and ran, yes I ran, over to my friend with Stiles behind me no doubt.

When I reached her I wrapped my arms around her and tried asking her what was wrong but she was still screaming.

"Lyds, Lyds, what's wrong? What's going on?" I worriedly asked.

She still kept on screaming so I helplessly looked to Stiles for help.

But he was staring at her with confusion, glancing at me a few times since he didn't know what to do either.

We heard the doors open and we turned around to see Scott and Allison walking back in.

They were staring at Lydia in confusion and concern before looking at Stiles and I.

Stiles shrugged while I ignored them, putting my attention back onto my friend.

I hurriedly gathered her into my arms and held her close, rubbing her back to calm her down, as her screaming slowly died down but she was still freaking out.

What the hell just happened?

And why the hell was she screaming in the first place?

The Next Day

Boyd is next.

That's the conclusion that Stiles came to when we were at school the next day.

Apparently Boyd wasn't at school today and with Derek biting teenagers left and right he might be going after Boyd.

And Emerson isn't doing anything to stop it when she knows that it's not right.

Scott, Stiles and I were currently walking down the hallway together after leaving the cafeteria.

"I'm going to the ice rink, see if he's there. And, if he's not at home, you both call me, got it?" Scott told us.

I nodded.

But Stiles didn't.

If anything he looked hesitant causing Scott and I to look at him with raised eyebrows.

"What?" Scott asked.

Stiles sighed before saying, "maybe we should let him".

This made my eyes widen at his words while Scott looked at him like he's grown two heads.

"Boyd, you know? You said Derek's giving them a choice, right?" Stiles asked.

"We can't" Scott said to which I nodded.

"You gotta admit, Erica looks pretty good. You know, the word 'sensational' comes to mind" Stiles shrugged.

I groaned and shook my head at him.

"Babe, even if Derek is giving them a chance it doesn't change the fact that once they accept the bite they can't undue it" I reminded him.

Scott nodded his head in agreement.

"Exactly. How good do you think she's gonna look with a wolfsbane bullet in her head?" Scott sarcastically asked.

Stiles sighed as he took our words into consideration.

"Alright. All I'm saying is, maybe this one isn't totally your responsibility" Stiles said.

"They all are. And you know this thing's gonna get out of control. That makes me responsible" Scott sternly said.

I nodded.

Scott knows that once someone accepts the bite you can't undue it, it's something that stays with you forever.

And he knows that with Derek biting random teenagers it's going to cause trouble soon.

"And babe, remember what Peter said. If someone is bitten the bite either works or it doesn't. If Derek continues doing this someone can end up dying. We can't let that happen" I added.

I will not let any innocent teenager die because Derek wants a pack of his own.

I understand that's what he wants but there are other ways he can get it.

He can't continue doing this and if Emerson is going to let it happen rather than stop it, we have to step in.

"Alright, I'm with you. Both of you" Stiles said.

This made Scott and I sigh and nodded at him.

Stiles then wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to his side.

He then moved his lips near my ear causing my breath to hitch slightly.

"And, my love, I also gotta say this new-found heroism is making me very attracted to you" Stiles whispered.

I blushed at that, my heart fluttering.

"Any chance you want to find an empty classroom and have some alone time?" Stiles asked.

Now that made my lips form into a small smirk.

That's definitely not something I am going to oppose if I'm being honest.

Scott, unfortunately due to his werewolf hearing, heard what my boyfriend said and began gagging in disgust.

He quickly stepped by moving to stand in between us and pushed us apart.

"Ok, both of you stop being horny and head over to Boyd's house. Now" Scott ordered.

Stiles and I glared at him but he was unfazed, waiting for us to do as told.

I huffed in annoyance before grabbing Stiles by the hand and dragged him away.

Remind me to smack Scott later.

At Boyd's House

Stiles and I were currently driving to Boyd's house, we have to see if it's true and that he's the next person Derek is gonna bite.

When we got there Stiles parked his jeep and the two of us got out and rushed to the house.

Once we reached the house we began knocking on the door as loudly as we could.

"Hey, Boyd? Hey, Boyd, bud, are you in there?" I called out to him.

"Boyd, it's Stiles and Ares!" Stiles yelled.

But no matter how much we knocked on the door or even pounded on the door, no answer.

He wasn't home.

Or he was but he was ignoring us because he knows why we're here.

What if we're too late and Derek already bit him?

Stiles sighed in frustration and turned around only to yell in surprise.

I raised an eyebrow at him before turning around myself and I yelled in surprise myself.

There standing in front of us with a smile was Erica.

Almost immediately Stiles scooted closer to me, standing slightly in front of me, ready to protect me if needed.

Not that it was necessary because Erica might be a werewolf now but I know she would never hurt me.

Erica laughed, "what are you doing here, guys?" she asked.

"Uh, nothing. We were just looking for, um..." Stiles trailed off.

"Boyd?" Erica asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah. Yes, Boyd" I nodded.

Erica merely hummed before she basically examined the two of us.

"You know what you're doing right now that's kind of funny? The two of you are only looking in my eyes" Erica smiled.

Stiles and I glanced at each other before looking back at her.

"That's funny?" Stiles asked, confused.

"Well, yeah...because it's that kind of look where you're trying not to look anywhere other than my eyes. But you want to, don't you?" Erica asked.

"Not really, no" I shook my head.

Don't get me wrong, Erica is beautiful.

She was before turning into a werewolf.

But I don't like her that way. I don't like girls that way.

And neither does Stiles.

All of a sudden Erica takes a step forward to Stiles causing my boyfriend to take a step back.

"You want a nice, long, hard...look" Erica sternly said.

She was basically putting herself in front of him, their chests nearly touching one another.

I swallowed thickly and glanced between the two of them, a jealous feeling brewing inside of me.

Stiles glanced at her before looking at me. He looked back at her and placed his hands on her shoulders and pushed her back.

"Listen, Erica, you're beautiful. Really, you are. But I don't like you that way, I don't like girls that way. I respect women and would never look somewhere I shouldn't" Stiles told her.

He scooted closer to my side in order to slid his hand into mine.

"Besides, I like boys and I'm already dating Ares. And he's someone that is the best thing that has ever happened to me" Stiles sternly said.

I smiled softly at him, feeling my heart flutter at his words.

I leaned in to give his cheek a peck causing him to smile at me.

Erica glanced between us, a hint of softness appearing in her eyes, before nodding her head.

"You're loyal, Stiles. So is Ares. I respect that" Erica said.

"Thanks" Stiles nodded.

"So, it's really just my eyes?" Erica asked.

Oh, we're really still back to that?

Stiles sighed but nodded his head, "yes. You have beautiful eyes".

"I have beautiful everything" Erica corrected him.

"And a newfound self confidence. Congrats, Erica" I told her with a small smile.

"Now, we should get going" Stiles said.

We tried leaving but Erica stopped us, putting her hand on Stiles's chest and shoving him back.

"You're not going anywhere" Erica told us, a glare settled on her face.

"Why not?" I asked with a nervous chuckle.

Erica looked at me with a smile on her face and she held up her other hand.

My eyes widened when I saw her holding the starter to Stiles's jeep.

I looked at Stiles and saw that he had the same reaction as me, staring at Erica in shock.

"Your boyfriend is having car trouble" Erica told me.

Before I could even react Erica smashed the starter into Stiles's face causing him to fall onto Boyd's door.

I screamed, my hands going up to cover my mouth, as Stiles slid off Boyd's door and dropped to the ground.

"STILES!" I screamed in horror.

I crouched down and gathered my boyfriend into my arms.

I carefully turned his head around and saw blood beginning to ooze out.

I looked up at Erica and saw her smiling down at me, acting as if she didn't just knock out my boyfriend.

"Don't worry, he'll wake up. In an hour or two" Erica reassured me.

She set the starter down on the ground and waved at me before turning around and walking away.

I stared at her retreating form in disbelief, unsure of what to say.

I simply shook my head and looked down at my boyfriend, who was unconscious in my arms, and sighed.

I leaned down in order to whisper to him, "don't worry, babe. I'm here, I've got you".

At The Ice Rink
Nobody's Pov

Scott entered the ice rink and began looking around for Boyd.

He still hasn't gotten a call from either Stiles or Ares and he was worried.

Worried that Derek already got to Boyd and he bit him and now he's a werewolf.

When Scott entered the rink he saw Boyd working causing him to quietly sigh in relief.

"Boyd, I just wanna talk" Scott told him.

Boyd ignored him and continued working.

"Hey, come on. Boyd, please" Scott begged.

Again, Boyd ignored him.

"Did Derek tell you everything? Or did Emerson tell you? And I don't just mean going out of control on the full moons, I mean everything" Scott asked.

Having enough, Boyd let out a sigh before he stopped working.

He then faced Scott.

"Derek and Emerson told me everything. They told me about the hunters" Boyd said.

"And that's not enough for you to say no?" Scott asked incredulously.

"Emerson told me, before Derek did anything, that I have the choice to say yes or no. She told me that if I say yes then there's no going back. That if I say yes that being a werewolf is what I will be for the rest of my life" Boyd explained.

Scott frowned.

He wasn't sure if he should be happy that Emerson told Boyd that or upset that she wasn't stopping Derek.

He knows that Ares talked to her but it seems like she wasn't going to stop it.

Considering her and Derek are mates and they're dating.

Scott shook his head before looking back at Boyd, "whatever you want, there's other ways to get it".

"I just wanna not each lunch alone every day" Boyd snapped.

"If you're looking for friends, you can do a lot better than Derek. And aren't you friends with Ares? He has offered you to sit with us but you always say no?" Scott said.

"I have nothing against Ares, like you said we are friends. But, no offense, you and Stiles are quite annoying" Boyd said.

Scott made an offended noise at that.

He knew if Stiles was here he would've reacted the same way.

Scott opened his mouth to speak when he heard footsteps approaching.

He turned around and was surprised to see Derek, Emerson, Isaac and Erica.

"That really hurts, Scott" Derek said, pretending to sound offended.

The Hale man was walking in front while his girlfriend stood next to the two teenagers.

"I mean, if you're going to review me, at least take a consensus" Derek finished.

Scott said nothing, he just kept his eyes locked on all of them.

Derek said nothing and just looked at the newly turned werewolves that he bit.

"Erica, how's life been for you since we met?" Derek asked.

Erica let out a hum as she looked up from her inspecting her nails.

"Hmm. In a word? Transformative" Erica commented, a grin on her face.

She proved her point by letting out a growl, her fangs showing.

Scott remained silent at that, swallowing thickly, while Boyd stared at the girl in slight awe.

He had to admit that she was beautiful.

Derek nodded and asked, "Isaac?".

Isaac glanced at him before looking at Scott as he gestured to the woman next to him.

"My life was better after Emerson and Ares helped me get out of my abusive home. It was getting better after Mr. Blackwell helped clear my name. And now it's even better being a werewolf. I feel great" Isaac smiled.

Emerson smiled softly at him and wrapped her arm around his shoulders.

Isaac turned to her and flashed her a small smile as he leaned into her side.

Scott shook his head, "ok, hold on. This isn't exactly a fair fight".

Emerson sighed, "then go home, Scott".

"Listen to my mate, Scott" Derek said.

Scott shot Emerson a look but decided to ignore her and looked back at the Hale man.

When Scott didn't move Derek let out a slight chuckle before looking at the two teenagers.

He nodded his head forward.

They nodded back before stalking their way towards the McCall boy.

All of a sudden Scott crouched down and slams his fist onto the ice, cracking it.

His claws appear and when he picks his head up his face is in full wolf form.

"I meant fair for them" Scott corrected.

He growled loudly and soon he engaged in a fight with the two other teen werewolves.

Two against one wasn't always the best since it's kind of clear who would win.

But, then again, Scott was a werewolf way before the other two teens and he's gotten used to this more than they have.

And he has been training.

He has to give credit to Isaac and Erica for their fighting skills, it's pretty clear Emerson and Derek have been training them too, since they were good.

But Scott wasn't backing down.

He throws Erica to the ground when she jumped on his back.

Isaac tried to punch him but Scott dodged in time and punched him and sent him to the ground.

Isaac tried getting up but Scott kneed his face causing Isaac to fall backwards and groan in pain.

Emerson flinched at the two teens getting hurt while Derek just shook his head.

"Don't you get it? He's not doing this for you. He's just adding to his own power, ok? It's all about him. He makes you feel like he's giving you some kind of gift, when all he's done is turn you into a bunch of guard dogs!" Scott angrily yelled.

He grabbed the two werewolves and tossed them over to the two adults.

"Guys!" Emerson yelled in worry.

She rushed to them and knelt at their sides to check on them to make sure they were alright.

Scott scoffed and pointed at the Archer woman.

"And she's no better. She knows what he's doing is wrong but instead of trying to stop him she's supporting his decision and helping him!" Scott yelled.

Emerson flinched at the teens words and didn't say anything.

She didn't know exactly what to say when she knew that he was right.

While she isn't necessarily happy about the decision his boyfriend made to turn teens, she supported him because she understands why he's doing this.

But even so she was still cautious about it.

"First, don't speak that way about my girlfriend" Derek sternly said.

He began walking forward while shrugging his shoulders.

"But it's true. It is about power" Derek added.

He shook his hand and his claws came out. All of a sudden his eyes turn red and his head moves around a bit.

His fangs appear and he lets out a loud growl.

Scott swallowed thickly as Derek began to reach him but he wasn't going to show fear or back down.

Derek growled once more once he reached the boy and raised his arm in the air, his hand curled into a fist.

Just before he could send a hard punch to the boy he felt someone grab his shoulder and tried pulling him back.

He turned around and saw his girlfriend holding him back, stopping him from doing anything.

"Derek, babe, don't. Lets just go, please" Emerson softly said.

She wasn't about to let her boyfriend engage in a fight with Scott.

Someone who was her brothers best friend, someone who she saw as another little brother herself, someone that was still a kid.

Derek frowned, slight annoyance in his eyes, but he obeyed and slowly lowered his arm.

Emerson sighed in relief.

But then...

Derek turned around and sent a hard kick to Scott's stomach.

This made him yell out in pain before he fell to the ground with a loud thud.

"Derek!" Emerson yelled, shooting her boyfriend a glare.

She literally just told him not to hurt the boy and he did it anyway.

Derek rolled his eyes, "he'll be fine. It was just a kick and if he has any type of injury it'll heal soon".

He glanced at the boy one last time before turning around and walking away.

Emerson sighed before looking at the boy was still on the ground.

"I'm sorry, Scott" Emerson whispered, knowing that he would still hear her.

She then turned around and began walking away herself.

She knelt down and gently grabbed Isaac and Erica by their arms. After making sure they were alright the three of them began walking away.

Scott, who was still on the ground, picked his head up and saw Boyd getting off the machine he was on.

"Don't. You don't want to be like them" Scott said.

Boyd stared at him for a bit before shaking his head.

"No, you're wrong. I do wanna be like them" Boyd told him.

He then lifted his shirt up and showed Scott the bite mark.

Scott's eyes widened in horror, it was too late.

Boyd flashed him a faint smirk before lowering his shirt. He then turned around and walked away.

He joined the others, who had stopped and waited for him, and together they all walked away.

Scott groaned and just plopped back down onto the ground, clearly exhausted.
