"so you chased him around a parking garage to see what he would do if it was the alpha?" Harper's brows furrow as she tries to understand what Derek had done, though it wasn't very surprising the girl was still confused.

Derek nods "Okay so, what happened?" Harper asks, crossing her arms

"he jumped on cars sounding off the alarms, which was smart but, then his phone rang, gave him away" Derek explains.

Harper purses her lips "So, then you smashed his phone?" he nods once again.

Harper's brows raise "maybe if your friendlier, he'd listen" Derek rolls his eyes at her comment.

Harper frowns with a shrug "Just saying" she holds her hands up.

Harper sits at the same table as Scott and Stiles, She usually just shows up around them unannounced because one, she was a nosey person- curious would be the proper word to use in her opinion and two, Scott was a newly bit werewolf that has no idea how to control his new founded supernatural abilities in a school full of people.

her attention turns to Scott who was covering his face with a book "I think the book makes it more obvious" Harper commented already knowing what Derek had told the boy to do though she didn't think he could do it.

'Stay away from Allison'

Stiles nods agreeing with the girl, being a rare occurrence "besides she's reading anyway"

"so did you come up with a plan yet?" Scott asks as he glances to Allison then to Stiles.

Harper's brows raise "Oo, a plan for what?" she lightly drums on the table.

Stiles looks to her "not that it's your business and I also don't trust Derek" Harper rolled her eyes as Stiles continues to talk "and your kinda in the middle of the trust level, I'm going to teach Scott control" he turns back to Scott " anyways, I think so"

Harper nods "I'll help" she seen the look Stiles was giving her. Harper narrows her eyes at him "don't worry you can make all the plans, I'll be a bystander in case, well, you know."

"does that mean you don't hate me now?" Scott asks, directed to Stiles. The Stilinski looked up at the boy.

"No. But your crap has infiltrated my life, so now I have to do something" Stiles explains "plus I'm definitely a better Yoda then Derek"

Harper's head moves back and forth not agreeing or disagreeing.

"Okay yeah, you teach me" Scott spoke.

"yeah I'll be your Yoda" Stiles said with a wide grin.

"yeah you be. . my Yoda" Scott retorted with no amusement in his voice unlike Stiles had.

"your Yoda I will be" Stiles imitates Yoda's voice with a smile "I said it backwards-"

"yeah I know" Scott cut him off.

Harper's brows raises at the twos back and forth.

Stiles hits the table "alright, you know what? I definitely still hate you uh-huh " Stiles chuckles as he begins to pack his things up "oh yeah "

He grabs the book from Scotts hands and gets up from the table Scott following quickly trying to avoid Allison like Derek had said.

Harper sighs as she takes her time and follows the two "Scott, hey Scott wait" Harper heard Allison as she rushes after him.

Harper and Scott followed Stiles out onto the field as he rummages through his bag before he hands something to Scott "put this on"

Scott looks it over "isn't this one of the heart monitors for the track team?" he raises a brow at Stiles.

"yeah, I borrowed it" he replies with a shrug.

" Stole it" Scott corrected.

"temporarily misappropriated it" Stiles counters, growing slightly annoyed with the boy "Coach uses it to monitor his heart rate with his phone while he jogs, and you're gonna wear it for the rest of the day"

Harper's brows furrow "wouldn't you need his phone then, to work the app?"

Scott looks to the phone in Stiles hand "isn't that Coach's phone?"

Stiles presses his lips in a thin line " that I stole"

"why?" Scott questions.

"alright, well, your heart rate goes up when you go wolf right?" Scott nods "when your playing Lacrosse, when you're with Allison, whenever you get angry maybe learning to control it is tied to learning to control your heart rate" Stiles explain

A smile spreads on Scott's face "like the incredible hulk"

Stiles shrugs "kind of like the incredible hulk yeah"

Scott shakes his head "no, I'm like the incredible hulk--"

"just shut up and put the strap on" Stiles cuts him off.

Scott turns to Harper with raised brows "will this work?"

Harper shrugs " oh . . . I really don't know, Derek's like the werewolf encyclopedia" she crosses her arms "The word Derek usually uses is find an anchor to your human side, whether it be an emotion, a person, just something to keep you grounded in a sense"

Scott takes a hesitant breath as he begins to put the heart monitor on "Okay, what was your anchor then?" Scott asks the girl.

She takes a breath, her eyes falling closed for a moment "My family" she states "Alive and dead"

silence fell for a moment, the two boys have a pitiful expression on their faces which the Hale girl didn't like. Harper quickly broke it as she bunches her shoulders "Well, let's get on with this then"

Stiles nods as he gets up and duck tapes Scotts hands behind his back, he looks through his bag once again "this isn't exactly how I wanted to spend my free period" Scott comments.

Stiles picks up his bag and the lacrosse sticks as he backs up to where Harper was standing, he tosses her one of the lacrosse sticks, which she catches easily "alright ready?" he questions

"No" Scott deadpanned.

"Remember, don't get angry" Stiles opens the app on the phone before tossing it onto the gym bag.

"I'm starting to think this was a really bad Idea" Scott mutters as he watches Harper twirl the stick in her hand and a sly smirk on her face.

Stiles winds back as he fires the ball at Scott hitting him directly in his stomach causing him to double over, as soon as he stood straight once again Harper fired her ball hitting him in the chest.

"Okay that one kind of hurt" Scott regained his posture.

"quiet, remember you're supposed to be thinking about your heart rate alright, about staying calm" Stiles spoke.

The two continue to hit Scott, Harper twirls the stick in her hand before she fires at Scott again using some of her werewolf strength. The Hale girl may have been enjoying this a little more then she should.

"Son of a bitch !" Scott hollers.

"you know what, I actually think my aim is improving" Stiles remarks with a smug smile.

"I wonder why" the annoyance clear as day in the McCall's voice voice.

Harper looks down to the phone seeing his heart rate was now 130 "Ah, Don't get angry, Scott"

They continue the pattern, each taking turns at throwing a ball at Scott. Harper pauses, The beeping from the phone gaining her attention.

Scott drops to the ground, Harper listens as his heartbeat goes up rapidly the phone begins to beep faster and faster "Scott"

Scott rips apart the tape that had bound his hands behind his back, Harper and Stiles make their way over to him after a moment or two his heartbeat begins to slow down.

"Scott, you started to change" Stiles explains to him.

"from anger but, it was more then that" Scott began "the angrier I got, the stronger I felt"

"so it is anger then, Derek's right" Stiles spoke Harper looks between the two.

"Don't say that to his face, it'll boost his ego too much" Harper comments with a shake of her head.

"I can't be around Allison" Scott utters, the pairs attention to shift back to him.

Stiles brows furrow as he asks "because she makes you happy?"

"because she makes me weak" Scott looked up at the two.

Harper walked outside the school as she watches Stiles key someone's car, Harper's brows furrow an almost amused expression falling on her face.

"hey, hey, hey, dude, what do you think you're doing to that truck, bro!" Stiles yells loud enough so the person who owned the car would hear.

Harper leans on the wall to the school, growing slightly intrigued with "what the hell!" the man yelled and made his way over to Scott

The McCall's eyes widen as he quickly put his keys back in his pocket shaking his head as the man landed a punch to Scott's face, the guys buddies rush up beside him.

Harper walks over to Stiles "so, is this another plan of yours" she points to Scott as he continues to get beat up.

Stiles nods the two stand there and watches. Harper glancing to the phone every once in awhile as it beeps. Mr. Harris runs over breaking apart the fight "what do you idiots think you're doing"

Scott looks over to Stiles who was holding up the phone triumphantly.

Harper sighs as she rests her head on her hand seeing as she was now stuck in detention with Scott and Stiles after Stiles plan had got them there.

"excuse me sir, I know it's detention and all but I'm supposed to be at work and I don't want to get fired" mr. Harris just looks up from his desk to Scott with a smile then looks back down to the papers on his desk.

Harper doesn't think she's ever hated a teacher like she hates Mr. Harris.

"I wasn't part of whatever happened so, can I go?" Harper spoke but he just ignored the girl. She rolled her eyes and put her head down on the desk as she tuned out whatever conversation Scott and Stiles were having.

After what felt like forever Mr. Harris finally spoke "alright you three, out of here"

Harper didn't waste a second as she practically flew out of her chair and made her way to the door, detention was the most boring thing she had ever experienced, let alone Mr. Harris was one of those teachers you wanted to just hit them across the head.

Derek parks the car harper gets out muttering under her breath Derek looking clearly annoyed after having to listen to her argue and insult him for making her walk back home because he was threatening Scott's boss, Deaton, a vet.

"where's my boss?" Scott asked immediately, walking towards the two.

Derek motioned his head to the car "he's in the back"

Scott and Stiles look through the window to see Deaton who was unconscious with duct tape around his mouth, hands, and feet.

"Oh he looks comfortable" Stiles spoke sarcastically.

Scott and Stiles make their way towards the school "wait hey, what are you doing?" Derek asked

Scott looked over his shoulder to him "you said I was linked to the alpha . . . I'm gonna see if you're right"

Harper glares at Derek as he just rolls his eyes walking towards the jeep "get over it, it's not even that far"

"Not even that Far!?" Harper exclaims making her way towards him.

Derek and Harper lean on Stiles jeep waiting for whatever Scott was planning. Harper's head shot up when a shrill attempt at a howl flooded from the speakers filling her ears.

"you've got to be kidding me" Derek mumbles.

"wow " Harper laughs out, sharing a look with Derek.

Her laughter gets cut short when a more powerful howl echoed from the speakers on the outside of the School Derek looks around as the two walk around and face the school.

After a minute or two Scott and Stiles walk out Harper was leaning on the side of the jeep as Derek points fingers at them "I'm gonna kill both of you, what the hell was that? what are you trying to do attract the whole state to the school?"

Scott shrugs "sorry I didn't know it was gonna be that loud" he chuckled lightly.

"yeah it was loud and it was awesome " Stiles voice rose slightly at the end, Harper smiled softly before looking to the older Hale

"shut up" Derek snapped at the boy with an all but un amused expression.

Stiles brows cinch together as he motions to Derek "Come on, don't be such a sour wolf"

Harper laughs and Stiles comment "sour wolf oh, I'm so gonna start calling you that"

Derek glares at Stiles, almost as if he was going to kill him.

"what'd you do with him?" Scott walks over to the car, Harpers brows knit together.

"what?" Derek turned to his Camaro to see the door open to the backseat and Deaton no where in sight he looks back at them "I didn't do anything"

Confusion covered the Hale girls face as she turned to Stiles and Scott "he was there"

Harpers head shoots back to Derek until in an instant claws were through his chest and blood spurting from his mouth.

Harper's eyes went wide, her mouth opening in shock but nothing would come out as she stepped back a few steps. Blood pours from Derek's mouth, claws through his chest as he gets lifted up into the air.

Her eyes land on the alpha who stood tall but only for a moment. Scott and Stiles began to run and Harper knew she should but she couldn't her feet wouldn't move nor would her watery eyes from the scene, she could feel her heart shattering, breaking into a million little pieces all over on her again.

And she would be left having to pick up the pieces all over again and all by herself.

Harper felt two pair of arms grab a hold of her and drag her towards the school as the Alpha tossed Derek to the ground.

Scott and Stiles held the doors shut after practically dragging the girl into the school. Harper fell to her knees as she just sat there staring blankly at the floor

Her breathing was rigid as a broken sob left her lips.

She had just lost the last person she had left, she was completely and utterly alone.
