003; Dream Or Reality
TEEN WOLF
SEASON 1 EPISODE 3
─────────────────────
"So you killed her" Stiles said with a shrug as the four walk into the school
Scott bunches his shoulders "I don't know, I just woke up. And I was sweating like crazy, and I couldn't breath. I've never had a dream where I woke up like that before"
"really?" Stiles asks as they walk through the hall "I have but it usually ends a little differently"
Imelia's face contorts in disgust as she gives the boy a look "Stiles, keep that to yourself"
"A, I meant I've never had a dream that felt that real before and B, never tell me that much detail about you in bed again" Scott said giving his friend a look
Andrew glanced at his sister "well have you had any homicidal dreams lately Mel or is it just Scott"
Imelia bit her lip as she tilted her head "Well" she trailed off "I had pretty much the same dream as Scott except there was absolutely no kissing because the person with me was Andrew"
the boys face fell as he swallowed thickly as he takes a deep breath "well that's not very comforting"
Stiles inhaled sharply "let me take a guess here-"
Scott shook his head "no, I know what you're gonna say you think it has something to do with me and Allison going out tomorrow. Like I'm gonna lose control and rip her throat out"
Stiles shook his head "no of course not" he paused "yeah that's totally it"
Imelia's brows furrow "wait, but why would that explain why we had the same dream just with different people" she motions between herself and Scott "I'm not taking Allison out on a date"
Stiles sighs as he glances at the girl "that's a good point, Andrew got any ideas?"
he scoffed lightly shaking his head "Nope, unless it's some weird werewolf thing because they got bit on the same night"
Stiles moves his head side to side "maybe" he looks to Scott as he pats his shoulder "Hey, come on, it's gonna be fine, alright? personally I think you're handling this pretty freaking amazingly, both of you. You know, it's not like there's a lycanthropy for beginners class you can take"
"yeah, not a class, but maybe a teacher" Scott said suggesting a certain Hale
Andrew's eyes widen "Derek!"
Stiles smacks his friend on the head "forget the part where we got him tossed in jail?"
"we also dug up his dead sister" Imelia added earning a look from the three
"Yeah, I know but" Scott shook his head with a sigh "chasing her, dragging her to the back of the bus, it felt so real"
Imelia nodded glancing up at Scott "I get what you're saying. It's like you actually felt Allison's leg when you grabbed ahold of her."
She points to the blonde beside her " at least that's what it felt like to me when I dragged him around"
Scott nodded as he looked at her "Exactly"
"yeah, that's still not very comforting" Andrew mutter under his breath "Did I at least put up a-"
Andrew stopped mid sentence as they walk out the doors, the four stare wide eyed at the bloodied bus which had the door ripped off on the emergency exit.
Imelia's mouth hung open slightly as she, Andrew, and Stiles all share looks before their gazes land on the wide eyed worried McCall next to them.
It wasn't Andrew's blood, he was right beside us and Imelia was positive that the same thought that had crossed her mind was crossing Scott's.
. . .
Scott was rushing through the hall his face pale the three following behind him trying to keep up with his pace
"She's probably fine" Stiles said to the boy to try and calm him down
Scott glanced at him but only for a second as he looks down to his phone "She's not answering my texts, Stiles"
Imelia adjusted her bag on her shoulder as she jogged slightly to catch up "her phone could be dead" she suggested to the boy
Stiles nodded "or it could just be a coincidence, alright"
Andrew hummed as he smacked his friends shoulder lightly "Yeah, A seriously amazing coincidence"
Scott sighed as he looked between the three "just help me find her, Okay"
Imelia nodded as she looked at the teens crowded around the halls in search for the Argent girl as they kept their fast pace but the girl was no where to be seen.
"do you see her?" Scott questioned, worry laced in his tone as he glanced back at the three
Imelia and Andrew shake their heads while Stiles answers "no"
Imelia looked towards the McCall as he turned the corner she stopped and turned to her brother and Stiles "I'll go after him just keep looking for Allison"
before either could answer Imelia spun on her heels as she jogged down the hall shoving past people mumbling sorry as she did. She stopped and looked at the McCall in front of her
her eyes widen slightly as she watches the boy punch the locker in front of him causing a large dent that wouldn't go unnoticed.
Imelia rushed towards him placing her hands on his shoulders as she whispered "Scott, you need to calm down"
she took a quick look over her shoulders to be sure there wasn't too much attention drawn to him, Scott stepped away from the locker as he took a deep breath looking at the blonde in front of him
Imelia's gaze softened as she spoke in a reassuring tone "I'm sure she's okay, Andrew's fine and I had the exact same dream"
Scott took a breath as he nodded and began to back away but he didn't get far as he bumps into someone behind him causing them to drop their things.
Imelia took a step forward as a feeling of slight relief washed over her at the sight of the Argent girl, She didn't go any closer she didn't want to butt into their conversation as she waited by the lockers rocking back and forth on her feet.
Allison left her conversation with the boy her eyes landing on Imelia as she gives her a small wave and smile which she returns before walking towards Scott.
she raised her brows with that almost ' I told you so ' look on her face as she nudges him "See, she was fine"
Imelia looked down the halls before looking back at Scott "Alright, let's go find thing one and thing two"
Scott chuckled at her comment as they were about to walk back the same way the came but Imelia stopped as she looked at the locker Scott had previously punched to see a confused and frustrated Jackson unable to open it.
Imelia bit her lip to stop herself from laughing as she and Scott share a look and walk the opposite way.

Imelia absolutely hated every class she had where Mr. Harris was the teacher. The man made her want to rip her hair out so she had no problem listening to Scott trying to figure out what happened on the bus and more importantly she wanted to know as well seeing as the same dream she could only assume it had something to do with her and Scott.
"Maybe it was my blood on the door?" Scott whispered looking between the three before motioning to Imelia "or Mel's"
Stiles shrugged "It could've been animal blood, maybe you caught a rabbit or something. Both of you"
"And did what?" Scott quickly questioned
"Ate it" Stiles deadpanned
Scott's eyes widened slightly "Raw!?"
Imelia's face covers in disgust at the mere thought of her eating a rabbit
Andrew nudged his sister as he laughed slightly "If you ate a rabbit, I would never let you live that down"
Imelia gave him a quick glare before her attention was adverted to Stiles as he spoke "No, you and Imelia stopped to bake it in a little werewolf oven"
Stiles bunches his shoulders as he continues "I don't know you guys are the ones who can't remember anything-"
"mr. Stilinski" Harris's voice gained the fours attention as they look at him "if that's your idea of a hushed whisper, You might want to pull out the headphones every once in awhile"
Stiles scoffed lightly while Harris looked between the four "I think you four would benefit from a little distance, yes?"
"No" Stiles muttered but Harris just pointed at different seats for the four. Imelia sighed as she grabbed her things moving to the desk Harris had pointed at.
"let me know if the separation anxiety gets too much" Mr. Harris commented causing Imelia to roll her eyes
after a moment or two of silence went by before Harley shot up from her seat "hey I think they found something!"
everyone quickly shot up from their seats and rush towards the windows. Imelia's eyes land on the paramedics wheeling a bloodied man towards the ambulance.
"That's not a rabbit" Scott muttered under his breath
Imelia jumps back as the man shoots up screaming as he grabbed ahold of the paramedics, she swallowed thickly as she backs away running a hand through her hair as her mind races with thoughts. Could she have done this, did herself and Scott nearly kill a man and can't remember a thing?
Stiles and Andrew walk towards the two while Stiles places his hand on Scott's shoulder "This is good, this is good."
Imelia gave him a look, a crease forming between her brows as she points out the window "That is your definition of good!?" she whisper yells
Stiles motions towards the man "he got up, He's not dead. Dead guys can't do that"
Andrew shrugs "it's true, so in a sense it is good"
Imelia bit on the inside of her cheek as she looked out the window
"guys" Scott muttered as he looked away from the window glancing at Imelia "We did that"

It was now lunch and usually Imelia would be looking for Lydia by now but she was far to hung up- anxious even about whatever had happened on the bus.
"yeah but dreams aren't memories" Stiles argued as they sat down at a table
"then it wasn't a dream" Scott shrugged "something happened last night, and Mela I can't remember what"
Andrew leaned on the table "what makes you so sure that Derek even has all the answers?"
Stiles nodded in agreement "exactly"
"because during the full moon he wasn't changed" Scott stated to the pair "he was in total control, While I was running around in the middle of the night attacking some total innocent guy"
Imelia's leg bounced anxiously as she ran a hand through her hair "I think it's worth a shot to go see if he knows"
Andrew looks at his sister with wide eyes "What!?"
Imelia shrugged with a sigh "Look, I need to remember what happened or I'm gonna lose my mind thinking I almost killed a guy"
that was true she wanted answers she wanted to know exactly what happened because if she did that all that was running through her head was what if next time it really is Andrew and she wakes up and he's dead because of her, She wouldn't be able to live with herself.
"You don't know that you attacked him" Stiles said as he looked between Scott and Imelia
"we don't not know it" Scott retorted before shaking his head "I can't go out with Allison I have to cancel"
"No, you're not canceling, Okay?" Stiles gave his friend a stern look "you can't just cancel your entire life, either of you. We'll figure it out"
the four's conversation was cut short as Lydia set her tray down across from Imelia before taking a seat she asked "figure what out?"
"Uh, just" Andrew trailed off as he looked between Stiles and Scott
"homework" Imelia finished giving her friend a smile "they asked for my opinion, they've been arguing about who was right for about 30 minutes"
Stiles leaned towards Scott and Andrew as he whispered "why is she sitting with us?"
Imelia glanced at them "you guys do realise she is my best friend right?"
not long after Lydia had sat down Allison and a few others that Imelia knew briefly came and took a seat at the table.
Jackson walks over towards the table as he looks at the boy sitting near Lydia "get up"
the teenager looked at him "how come you never ask Danny to get up?"
"Because I don't stare at his girlfriend's coin slot" Danny shot back and the boy got up with a sigh and Jackson sat down
Danny leaned on the table as he spoke "I heard they're saying it was some kind of animal attack, Probably a Cougar"
"I heard mountain lion" Jackson stated as he leaned back in his chair
Imelia covers her mouth with her hand to hide the smirk on her face as she looked at everyone else but Jackson
"a cougar is a mountain lion" Lydia corrects him as she looks up noticing everybody's gaze on her before pulling her brows together and a confused expression on her face "Isn't it?"
Imelia gave her friend a look, she knew she was smart hell Imelia has even gone to her when she needed help with math practically ever since she could remember but Lydia never let anyone see how smart she really was.
Jackson shrugs "who cares? The guy's probably some homeless tweaker who's gonna die anyway"
"Actually I just found out who it is" Stiles announced to the group as he holds out his phone "Check it out"
Andrew leans over looking over Stiles arm the was covering his sight while Imelia leaned in closer as she watched the video Stiles was playing
"The Sheriff's department won't speculate on the details of the incident but confirmed the victim, Garrison Myers, did survive the attack. Myers was taking to a local hospital where he remains in critical condition"
Stiles stops the video as he puts his phone in his pocket "I know this guy" Scott's voice gained Mel's attention
"You do?" Allison questioned
Scott nodded "yeah, when I used to take the bus back when I lived with my dad. he was the driver"
"can we talk about something slightly more fun please" Lydia spoke as she twirled her fork "Like- Oh, Where are we going tomorrow night?"
Allison looks at her with slight confusion. Lydia raised her brows "You said you and Scott were hanging out tomorrow night, right?"
"Um, we were thinking of what we were gonna do"
Lydia tilts her head "well, I am not sitting at home again watching lacrosse videos And I'm also not letting Mel sit at home and spend her night watching grown ups again, so if the five of us are hanging out, we are doing something fun"
Imelia gave her friend a look before her and Andrew share a look.
Scott's head slowly tuned to Allison "hanging out? like, the five of us? Do you wanna hang out, us and them?"
Allison blinked a few times as she set her water down with a shrug "yeah, I guess. Sounds fun"
"you know what else sounds fun?" Jackson said as he grabbed his fork from his tray "stabbing myself in the face with this fork"
Lydia quickly smacked the fork from his hand while Imelia tilted her head at him a fake smile on her face "you know, you should do it"
Lydia gave her friend a knowing look before her eyes lit up "Ooh, what about bowling? you love bowl"
"yeah with actual competition" Jackson remarked
Allison leaned on the table looking at the boy "how do you know we're not actual competition?" she raised her brows before looking at Scott "you can bowl right?"
Scott bunches his shoulders "sort of"
Jackson moved his try to the side as he narrowed his eyes at Scott "is it sort of, or yes?"
Scott mirrored his gaze as he answered "yes. If fact, I'm a great bowler"
Imelia, Andrew, and Stiles all share a knowing look at the boys words knowing in fact how terrible of a bowler he was.
. . .
"You're a terrible bowler!" Stiles exclaims as they walk down the stairs
"I know, I'm an idiot!"
Imelia glances over her shoulder "yeah, I remember me and Andrew's one birthday and we went bowling-"
Andrew laughs as he smacks his friends arm "Oh I remember that, you got gutter balls the whole time"
Scott glares at his friend as he shoves him lightly "I don't know why you're laughing, You were just as bad"
Andrew's laughter stops as his mouth falls open "Okay, first of all I got one strike-"
Imelia snorts "the whole game"
his eyes narrow at his sister before shaking his head and holding his arms up "okay, we were talking about Scott's shitty bowling skills how did we get on the subject of me"
Stiles shakes his head before speaking "it was like watching a car wreck, first the whole group date thing where Imelia's a third wheel. And then out of nowhere comes that phrase."
"hang out"
"you don't hang out with hot girls, okay? it's like death, once it's hanging out, you might as well be her gay best friend" Stiles rants on
as Andrew laughs again "you and Danny might as well start hanging out"
Scott ran his hand through his hair "how is this happening? Either me and Mel killed a guy or we didn't."
Stiles brows draw together "I don't think Danny likes me very much"
"I ask Allison out on a date, and now we're hanging out"
Imelia looks between Scott and Stiles who were having two different conversations with each other
"Am I not attractive to gay guys?" Stiles questions which earns a questioning look from Imelia before she shakes her head
"I make first line, and then the team captain want's to destroy me, and now" Scott trails off before sighing "now I'm gonna be late for work"
"Wait, Scott!" Stiles calls out "you didn't answer my question. Am I attractive to gay guys!"
Stiles sighs "you didn't answer my question " he turns to Imelia and Andrew "am I attractive to gay guys?"
Imelia just shakes her head raising her hands "I'll see you at home, Andrew"
"Wait, Mel" Stiles calls out but the girl keeps walking and he looks back at Andrew
"I'm not answering that" Andrew deadpanned as he shook his head walking away Stiles following after persisting that he answers.

Imelia walked into the house as she went to toss her bag on the floor but stopped when footsteps filled her ears, her brows chich together as she quietly sets her bag down. She knew there was no way Andrew had beaten her home which caused the girls heart to begin to race.
Imelia begins to slowly make her way towards the sound of the steps as she stops grabbing a hold of a lamp quickly unplugging it as she made her way towards the kitchen.
she raises the lamp preparing herself for whatever was in the kitchen but before she could even step into the room a scream left her lips as the man went around the corner and the mans scream following after.
Mason's hands fly up his eyes wide "MEL!, Mel! It's me, your uncle!"
Imelia's fall closed as she lowers the lamp her hand on her chest as she looks at him with wide eyes "Mason!" she exclaims
Mason takes a relieved breath "Jesus, I thought you were gonna kill me with the damn lamp" he motion towards the light in her hand
Imelia sighs as she shakes her head as she walks back towards the end table setting the lamp down as she glances at him "yeah, well you would've died happy with a sandwich in your hand"
she turns to him as she crosses her arms "I thought you couldn't make it down?" she chuckles bitterly "I mean, I was waiting for the message explaining why, Per usual"
Mason's face falls as he walks towards her "Mel, Listen" he pauses before sighing "It's hard to explain, alright. It's my job, it's what I do, I have to travel"
"And what exactly is your job?" She raises a questioning brow at him as she shrugs "Seeing as you still haven't told us that"
Mason takes a breath before avoiding his nieces gaze "Trust me, Imelia" he shakes his head "You don't want to know"
Imelia was angry with the man, Mason never really seemed to give the full truth to his niece and nephew and he especially wouldn't go into detail on his work with them. If they asked it was always the same response 'trust me, you don't want to know' and all Imelia wanted was for him to tell the truth.
Imelia went to say something to her uncle but was cut off by multiple knocks on the door. She stares at the older man before shaking her head with a light scoff as she walks towards the opening it to see Scott
her brows furrow "Scott?"
"we need to go see Derek" Scott said quickly only causing the girls confusion to grow "I stopped by the hospital to see my mom and I saw Garrison Myers, I need to remember what happened and I know you do too"
Imelia nodded as she grabbed her bag "Okay, but we're taking my car"
"Mel, where you-" before Mason could finish his sentence his niece was already out the door and closing it behind her.
. . .
Imelia and Scott climb out if the car as they walk towards the old burned down Hale house, the two share a look before Scott spoke
"I know you can hear me" he pauses glancing to the blonde beside him
Imelia took a breath "we need your help"
not long after Derek made his way out of the house and Scott and Imelia were on the porch waiting for him.
"Okay, I- I know we were part of you getting arrested and that we basically announced you being here to the hunters. I also don't know what happened to your sister" Scott sighed "But we think we did something last night"
Imelia put her hands in her jacket pockets as she looked at the Hale "we had a dream, the same dream but with different people but someone else got hurt"
Scott nodded as he continues "and it turns out that part of the dream might have actually happened"
"you guys think you attacked the driver?" Derek deadpanned looking between the pair
"Did you see what we did last night?" Scott quickly asked the man
"No" Derek replied causing Scott to sigh "Can you at least tell us the truth, are we gonna hurt someone?"
"yes"
Imelia's face drops slightly "um, could we kill someone?"
Derek nodded "yes"
Scott's eyes widen "Are we gonna kill someone?"
"probably"
Imelia bit on her cheek as she ran a hand through her hair while Scott's expression dropped
Derek looked between the two teens before he spoke "Look, I can show you how to remember. I can show you how to control the shift, even on a full moon. But it's not gonna come for free"
Imelia scoffs lightly while Scott shakes his head as he asks "what do you want?"
"you'll find out" he glances to Imelia "but for now I'm gonna give you what you want. Go back to the bus. Go inside, See it, Feel it. Let your senses, sight, smell, touch. Let them remember for you"
Imelia walks towards the two "that's it?" she questions in almost disbelief "just go back?"
Derek raises his brows at her "do you want to know what happened?"
Scott's gaze shifts to Derek "we just want to know if we hurt him"
Derek shakes his head "no you don't, you wanna know if you'll hurt her" his gaze turns to the blonde "and you wanna know if you'll hurt your brother"
Imelia nods "Damn right, he's all I have" she grabbed ahold of her car keys from her pocket and swiftly made her way towards the car.
yes, she wanted to know if she had anything to do with the bus driver but she wanted to know because she didn't want to Hurt Andrew, Andrew was her brother, her twin and god forbid if something had happened to him she'd lose her mind.

the four climb out of the jeep and walk towards the fence where the buses are parked right behind it
Scott looks and Andrew and Stiles who were following the two as he shakes his head "Hye, no, just me and Mel, you two need to keep watch"
"how come we're always the guys keeping watch" Stiles argued as he went to climb the fence Andrew nodding in agreement as he went to do the same thing
Imelia shook her head pulling her brother down "Okay, thing one and thing two" she points at the two boys "me and Scott have to do this, to figure out what happened now go keep watch"
Stiles presses his lips together as he holds up his finger "okay, why is it starting to feel like you two are Batman and me and Andrew are Robin? I don't want to be Robin all the time, do you" he motions to the blonde boy
"Nope" Andrew said popping the p as he did as he went towards the fence once again but Imelia stopped him "come on" he tossed his arms to the side
Scott looked between his two friends with furrowed brows "nobody's Batman and Robin any of the time"
Stiles face falls "not even some of the time?"
Imelia pinches the bridge of her nose "Just stay here-"
"Oh my god" Stiles trails off as he walks towards the jeep
Andrew looked between the two "screw you guys and your weird werewolf dreams" he tosses his hands in the air walking back towards the jeep as well
Imelia gives Scott a look before they began to climb the fence. Imelia's feet hit the ground her eyes landing on the bus as she takes a deep breath her eyes falling closed as she tries her best to do what Derek had said
as images of her tossing and turning in her bed while a distant howl filled her ears Imelia's eyes quickly dart open at the sight of her shooting up in her bed her eyes glowing a vibrant yellow.
she swallowed thickly as she and Scott slowly make their way towards the bus. Scott placed his hand on the door his breathing heavy as he gasped slightly before pushing it open and slowly making his way inside.
Imelia followed closely but as soon as her foot touched the first step her brother's screams filled her ears. causing her to squeeze her eyes shut as she pushed her way up the steps as every step she took his pain filled screams echoed in her head.
she grips onto the seat as the sight of her dragging her brother down the bus isle fills her vision but it quickly flashes to the man Myers.
Imelia's beath was shaky as she continued to make her way down the isle her eyes widen as it looks as if a bus seat was getting thrown at her. Scott jumped back seeing the same thing as he bumps into the girl nearly knocking her over.
Imelia steadies herself as she grabs onto Scott's arms the two sharing a look as the continue moving forward.
Imelia's gaze falls onto the blood splattered on the windows as she watches Scott lean forward as if he's reaching out to someone and when she looks back up her eyes widen at the sight before her a tall shadow with glowing red eyes which raised it's hand, the claws where it's nails were supposed to be visible as it went to swipe towards Imelia but she backed out of the way just in time and the illusion disappeared.
not long after Scott jumped back with a gasp his hands flying to his chest, the pairs breathing heavy as they look around the bus but the two jump at the sound of the horn blaring from Stiles jeep
her eyes then squinting at the light from a flashlight shining through the windows of the bus as she and Scott quickly pile out of the bus breaking off into a sprint towards the jeep, Imelia's eyes dart to a car parked close to the fence as she swiftly climbs on top of it as she jumps over the fence landing on her feet before rolling slightly.
she shoots up from the ground rushing towards the jeep as she climbs into the back and Scott climbs into the front shutting the door "Go, go, go!" the two usher the boy
Stiles quickly shifts the jeep into reverse as he speeds back before stepping on the brakes and turning the wheel causing the jeep to turn as he shifts back into drive as they speed off
"Did it work? did you guys remember?" Stiles questions the pair
"yeah, I was there last night" Scott answered as Imelia nodded "me too"
"and the blood, a lot of it was mine" Scott added
Andrew leaned in between the seats "so you guys did attack him?"
Scott shook his head "No, I saw glowing eyes on the bus but they weren't mine. it was Derek"
Andrew turned to his sister "did you see the eyes too?"
Imelia nodded "yeah, it also tried to claw me but I moved away, he missed"
"Okay, what about the driver" Stiles questioned his eyes trained on the road
"I think I was actually trying to protect him"
Stiles brows furrow "why would Derek help you two remember that he attacked the driver?"
Scott bunches his shoulders "That's what I don't get"
"Wait" Imelia spoke up as she leaned forward slightly "Derek said if he helps us we'd have to do something for him, maybe that's why"
"that or it's gotta be a pack thing" Stiles said glancing back at the girl
"what do you mean?" Andrew asks the boy
"Like an initiation. You do the kill together" Stiles answers
Imelia's brows furrow "killing someone together?"
Scott scoffed lightly "yeah, cause ripping someone's throat out is a real bonding experience?"
Stiles looked between the two "yeah, but you guys didn't do it, which means you guys aren't a killer. And it also means-"
a small smile appeared on Scott's face "I can go out with Allison"
Imelia's own smile filled her face as Andrew chuckled slightly "And I don't need to worry about my life being ended"
Imelia gave him an unamused look as she hit him lightly "you're not funny"
Stiles face falls as he looks at Scott "I was gonna say that it means you won't kill me"
Scott's brows raise "Oh, yeah. That too"

Imelia walked up to Lydia with her bowling shoes in her hands a smile on her face that quickly disappears at the sight of the boy from yesterday that Lydia had introduced
she crouched next to her friend as she whispered "Um, why is he here?"
Lydia looked at her friend almost baffled by her question "It'd be weird for you to come on a group date with out a date so I brought one for you" she simply stated with a shrug
Imelia's mouth hung open slightly as she shook her head standing up as she made her way towards the boy giving him a tight lipped smile as she sat down and began to put on her shoes.
each person took their turns Starting with Lydia, then Allison who got a strike, then Imelia who almost got a spare but just one pin was left causing Imelia's head to toss back as she groaned making her way back to her seat.
"That was a good shot" Matthew said to the girl with a smile
Imelia smiled at him "Thanks, I used to go bowling with my family almost every other Saturday, it was practically their favorite thing"
Everyone in Beacon Hills knew about her parents fatal plane crash, it was a small town and news travels fast.
it was now Jackson's turn, then Matthew had gone, and last but not least Scott's turn came up
"You're up, McCall" Jackson said as he sat down his head turning to him
Scott took a breath and Allison gave him a reassuring smile "you can do it, Scott"
He nodded as he stood up grabbing ahold of the bowling ball as he hesitantly makes his way up before letting the ball go nearly falling in the process and the bowling ball went straight into the gutter.
Imelia's eyes fall closed for a moment while Jackson's laughter filled the air
"Jackson" Allison leaned forward "Mind shutting up?"
but Jackson just continued to laugh while Imelia rolled her eyes at him "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm just flashing back to the words 'I'm a great bowler' "
"Maybe he just needs a little warm up" Allison suggested
Imelia nodded "yeah, I've seen Scott bowl, the first few ones are just his warm ups" she gave Scott a look while Allison smiled at the blonde "See"
"yeah, maybe he just needs the kiddy bumpers" Jackson laughed out while Lydia laughed with him
Allison sent a glare to the two before turning to Scott "Just- just aim for the middle"
"how about you aim for anything except for the gutter" Jackson added
Imelia rolled her eyes once again "your commentary gets pretty annoying after awhile, Jackson"
Allison looked at the couple "exactly, Just let him concentrate"
Scott lined up once again as he let the ball go Imelia watch it travel down the middle of the lane until just near the end it went into the gutter
"Oh!" Jackson laughed once again "great job, McCall. Man, you are a pro"
the game went on each of them took their turns until it was Scott's once again but before he went Allison got up from her seat up as she went up behind him whispering something in his ear before she sat back down.
Scott let the ball go once again as it fired down the lane landing the boy a strike, a wide smile spreading on Allison face while Imelia gave the boy a thumbs up
Imelia laughed slightly at the look on Jackson's face as she shrugged "Told you the first few are warm ups"
as the game continued on Scott continued to get strikes, multiple in a row and quickly getting the lead on the group.
Allison laughed lightly as Scott made his way back to his seat after getting another strike "that is seriously amazing"
The Argent's gaze turns to the clearly annoyed brown haired boy "Jackson, how many strikes is that?"
"It's six" Jackson replied as a smirk played on Imelia's lips "Is there something you'd like to add to that sentence?"
the boy sent her a quick glare before rolling his eyes "In a row"
Scott bunches his shoulders "I don't know, something just clicked I guess"
"Maybe it's natural talent" Allison smiled at the boy
"I could use some natural talent" Lydia said as she stood from her seat "Mind helping me out this time, Scott?"
Scott's brows raise before he spoke "Uh, no, you're good. Go for it"
Lydia took an annoyed breath as she tugged down her shirt "Thanks for the vote of confidence"
the Martin made her way towards the lane before letting the ball go. Imelia watched as the girl landed a strike and spun around with a smile on her face
"I think I'm getting the hang of it" Lydia stated as she sat down next to the shocked Jackson
Allison had an impressed look on her face "that was sort of perfect form"
Lydia's brows draw together "Was it?"
Allison leaned towards the girl as she whispered "maybe you should stop pretending to suck just for his benefit"
Imelia took a breath "trust me I've told her that before"
"trust me, I do plenty of sucking just for his benefit"
Allison looks at Imelia the two sharing a look as they lean back in their seats. The game was over Imelia stayed and talked with Lydia and Allison for a bit and strictly telling her friend to never set her up on a blind date again even though she practically gave the cold shoulder to Matthew the whole night which she felt slightly bad about but not at the same time.
and once they left the bowling alley the group went their separate ways and Imelia was now back at her house.
Imelia walked into the living room her eyes looking at the TV and then to the snoring Mason who was passed out on the couch
but Imelia's attention was quickly adverted as she jumped slightly at Andrew's hand on her shoulder
"Thanks for telling me Mason's back, guy scared the crap out of me" Andrew whispered motioning to the man on the couch
Imelia tilted her head "would it make you feel better if I said I almost hit him in the head with the lamp"
Andrew nods his head side to side, a little smile forming on his face "yeah, actually, a little bit"
he shakes his head as his face falls slightly. Imelia's brows chinch together as she asks "what's wrong?"
"Stiles texted me about ten minutes ago" Andrew took a breath before sighing "It was about the bus driver . . . Mel, he uh, He's dead"
Imelia's face dropped as she processed the information. Andrew put his hands in his pockets "Stiles is going to tell Scott, well he probably already has"
Imelia's eyes widen slightly "Scott knows?"
Andrew nodded "yeah, what's with the look on your face?"
Imelia grabbed her keys from her bag "I got to go"
she began to quickly make her way towards the front door she had just came in only a few minutes ago Andrew on her tail "Wait, Mel, Where the hell are you going?"
"Derek's" Imelia answered as she pulled open the door
"Why?" Andrew quickly asked the girl
Imelia met his gaze "If Scott knows that the bus driver is dead, where the hell do you think he's gonna go first?"
the look of realization covered the Drakes face as he muttered under his breath "Oh shit"

Imelia swiftly got out of her car as she ran up towards the Hale house and bursts through the doors only to see Derek getting thrown through one of the old weak walls, her eyes widening as her gaze shifts to Scott.
Scott doesn't even spare her a glance as he stalks towards Derek and all of Imelia's hope to stop things before the escalate quickly die out
"Scott!" she says to the boy before following after him as she watches Derek send a harsh kick in Scott's chest knocking the boy into the wall
but Scott didn't stay down long as he grabbed a paddle off the wall hitting Derek and knocking him on the floor as he went to hit him again but Derek dodged and knocked his feet out from under him.
Derek got up grabbing Scott by the throat as he lifts him up and slams him into the floor and just as he was about to do it once again Imelia rushed forward removing his had and shoving him back a glare on her face.
Derek looked from the girl then to Scott who was about to leap at the Hale, Derek shoved Imelia out of the way the girl falling onto the ground as Scott jumped at the Hale but before he could land a hit on the older man Derek's claws dragged against Scott's chest, knocking the boy on the ground.
Imelia watched as Scott pushed himself up on the couch glaring at Derek who was back to his human form along with Scott.
"I didn't kill him" Derek stated to the boy "None of us did. it's not your fault, it's not Imelia's, and it's not mine"
"This!" Scott snapped as he stood from the ground "This is all your fault you ruined my life!"
Derek took a step towards him his gaze hard "No I didn't"
Scott's glare never broke as he spoke "You're the one who bit me, who bit us"
"No, I'm not" Derek stated a confused look covered Imelia's face from his words as she pushed herself up from the ground
"What?" She questioned
Derek's gaze shifted to her "I'm not the one who bit you"
Imelia's confused and shocked gaze remained on the Hale before it was adverted to Scott as he fell back onto the couch breathing heavy "There's another"
"it's called an Alpha." Derek began to explain "It's the most dangerous of our kind. You, Imelia, And I, we're Betas. And this thing is more powerful, More animal than either of us. My sister came here looking for him, Now I'm trying to find him. But I don't think I can do it without either of you"
"Why us?" Imelia questioned and Derek looked at her once again "Because he's the one that bit you. You're part of his pack"
Derek paused looking between them "It's both of you, you're the ones the he wants"
