"Hey dad, is everything okay?" I ask nervously as I answer the phone. "Yeah, well not exactly. Stiles is on my case. Can you get down here?" He asks and I nod. "Sure, I'm staying at Derek's tonight so it might take a few more minutes m." I say and quickly put my shoes on. "That's alright." Dad says and I hear some muffled shouting in the background.
"Stiles asked can you bring Derek?" Dad asks and I scoff. "Yeah we'll be there ASAP." I say before ending the phone.
"Put your t-shirt back on big guy." I say patting Dereks chest. Derek groans as I laugh and I head to the kitchen. "Trust me im not happy about it either. This will be the first and last time I tell you." I say before throwing his car keys at him.
We get to the Sheriff's station and head inside. Stiles was there with Scott, Lydia and another girl. Me and Derek glance at each other confused.
"Fucking kids ruining my night." Derek mutters and I nod. "I think Stiles just gets jealous that we hangout a lot, so he makes up any excuse to hang." I say to Derek who just chuckles. "Makes sense." He says and I smile and turn to Stiles who was now rushing towards us.
Stiles instantly starts rambling and I catch my dads eye. "Shut up Stiles." I say and he looks at me shocked. "I need to talk to dad and see if im supposed to be angry or whatever, then I'll be back. It's just last time dad called me down here and you were involved, you had a restraining order so..." I say patting his shoulder before heading to dad.
"What did he do? Do I need to be glaring at him?" I ask dad. He scoffs whilst looking behind me to Derek who was glaring at Stiles. "Looks like your boyfriend already has that under control." Dad says whilst laughing slightly.
"But no, he didn't do anything wrong." Dad says and lowers his voice to a whisper. "I don't know the specifics because Agent McCall was in there with me. I just know Barrow kidnapped Kira. They found Barrow and he like died or something." Dad says and we turn to look at Stiles who was talking Derek's ear off.
"Right. Well I should go see what he wants." I say and he nods. I gesture for Lydia and Scott to come over as well.
"No Stiles, I've never even heard of someone that can do that." Derek says to Stiles. "No one?" Stiles asks and I look at them confused.
"What happened?" I ask the three of them. "Exactly what your dad told you." Scott says. "Right. So why are we here?" I ask and they look around.
"Kids, you can leave now. You have school tomorrow, you don't need to be standing around." Mr McCall says, walking out of an office with a girl who seemed to be around Stiles age.
I roll my eyes at Mr McCall before leading them outside.
"Why did you need us?" I ask leaning against Stiles' jeep, earning a glare from Stiles. "We wanted you to know." Stiles says and I scoff. "Okay..." I say unconvinced.
"We needed you to know for one and well we knew you were with Derek. We needed Derek, but he never answers the phone. So yeah." Stiles rambles and I roll my eyes.
"You hearing this?" I ask looking up at Derek. "Yeah." He says crossing his arms over his chest. "Unbelievable. They're using me for you. I could've been asleep by now. You need to answer your phone more often." I say and Derek looks at me a bit taken back.
"Don't attack me when they're the ones who are using me." Derek says and I glare at him before turning back to everyone else.
"Why'd you need Derek?" I ask looking around at them. "That girl in there." Stiles says pointing to the Sheriff's station. "Walked through electricity." Stiles says and my eyes widen.
"Sounds cool." I say and he sighs. "Not cool. Very bad. What if she wants to kill us. What if she's another crazy person. What if--"
"I haven't heard anything like it." Derek says cutting off Stiles and sighing. "Not at all?" Scott asks and Lydia sighs. "Nope. Not at all." Derek says and starts to walk back to his car.
"Go home Stiles." I say and he groans as I follow behind Derek to his car.

When I woke up, it was the first time I had a lie in properly for a while. It was 9:30 when I rolled over and started poking Derek.
"What?" He groans not even bothering to open his eye. I take my index finger and open Derek's eye lid which made his other eye snap open. I took my finger away whilse he glared at me.
"Happy Halloween." I say and place a soft kiss on his lips before getting out of bed.
"Have you got any candy for the trick or treaters?" I ask Derek whilst eating some pineapple. "Nope. I'll go out later and get some." He says and I nod.
After breakfast, we drag the morning out excessively.
After my shower and blow drying my hair, I get ready to head into the coffee shop. I left a bunch of my files there last night so that's where im gonna spend the next few hours.
I get dressed into some blue shorts and a black silk crop cop along with a belt and Derek's lether jacket he had put on the freshly made bed.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Derek asks as I do my makeup. "My makeup, duh." I say whilst using my phone for a mirror. "You know, you should really get a mirror. This is painful." I say to Derek who was looking at me with an eyebrow raised.
"I meant wearing my jacket. Why are you wearing my jacket?" Derek asks as I stand up. "Looks cute, don't you think?" I ask doing a little spin. "It makes me look like a biker chic." I say looking down at my outfit.
"I was gonna wear that today. That's why it was on the bed." He says and I shrug. "You have a million more. It's like all you wear. You'll be fine." I say before clearing up my makeup.
"We're gonna fall out." Derek says and I shrug. "Look forward to it." I say and kiss his cheek.
"Im gonna head in to finish signing some files and post them off. I'm gonna leave my stuff here and well I was thinking for about an hour or so we should hand out candy around here. Just because there isn't a lot of people around this area. Then we should go to mine and hand out candy." I ramble whilst putting my bag on the bed. "Yeah sure." He says and I smile.
****
It was about 7 when I got out of the coffee shop. I posted the files, which took ages by the way. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to post files.
When I get back in the car, I immediately call Derek.
"Don't worry. I'm getting candy now." Derek answers and I smile. "Good." I say whilst connecting my phone to the car. "Do you need any candy or are you stocked up?" He asks and I laugh. "Stocked up obviously, I love love love Halloween." I say making him scoff. "Thought you did." He answers.
"Hey so do you wanna like dress up to give candy out to kids?" I ask and there was a weird noise on the receiver. "I'll pass." Derek says and I roll my eyes.
"Pleaseeeeee. Think of all those children." I say and I can picture his face. He would be looking shocked and have a look of disbelief as he wouldn't believe I mentioned such a thing. "No." He says more sternly.
"Fine. But only because you're a werewolf anyway so you can just answer the door in wolf form." I say and Derek sighs. "Yeah, not doing that." He says and I groan.
"Don't be so boring." I plead. "Nope not happening." He responds earning another groan from me.
"Fine. But only because you have a scary face anyway." I say whilst being childish. "Yet you can't resist me." He says and I roll my eyes. "I can now you refused to dress up for Halloween." I say and he chuckles.
"I'll meet you back at mine later." He says and I roll my eyes. "Yeah whatever." I say before ending the call and driving to Derek's house.
When I got to Derek's, it seems busier than usual.
I get out of my car and head up to his loft.
When I get up there, there was a literal party. My eyes widen as I look in at the party.
"Hey." Issac says as him and Allison walk beside me. "Hi." I say shocked looking in at the party.
"Who is stupid enough to throw a party in Derek's loft?" I ask him whilst turning to him and Allison. "The twins." Allison answers and I scoff. "Typical. As long as they know Derek is gonna kill them then whatever." I say walking down into the party.
I walk around because at first this seems weird. Im 23 and im at a party full of like 17 year olds. Weird right?
Someone barges into me and I raise an eyebrow at them. "Oh, sorry." She says and I just shrug. "It's okay." I say and she giggles.
"Here you go. You look like you could use one of these." She says handing me an unopened drink, followed by some neon paint. Right. "Thanks." I say to her and she runs off.
I head upstairs and quickly shrug Dereks jacket off, he would rip my throat out if I ruined it.
I start sipping on the alcohol and suddenly my eyes widen. I haven't drank proper alcohol in ages. I drink some wine, sometimes, that's not a secret. But this is a lot stronger than wine.
I head back down the staircase and just look at the party. Derek's gonna kill me.
I walk over to a table and grab some drinks. At least if im drunk he won't shout at me as much.
I after another 2 drinks I started to get a little buzz and started to dance. The longer I danced for, the more I didn't feel so weird.
****
It was getting late and Derek still wasn't here which I found weird considering he was only getting candy.
I headed out onto the balcony after seeing Stiles dancing with some girl in the weirdest way I've ever seen.
I get out on the balcony and immediately call Derek but there was no answer.
"Hey uh Der bear. I uh... where are you? Im at your place and there's a party and I thought you were only getting candy. So uh where are you?" I ask and start looking around furiously as I felt as though i was being watched.
I turned behind me to look inside at the party. It was manic.
I turned back around and notice four black masked things snarling at me. I let out a high pitched scream and the door opens. "Nia?" Someone says before everything goes black and cold as a neon green stared into my eyes.
****
When my eyes opened again I was lying on the floor shivering but couldn't keep my eyes open.
"Aiden, over here." I hear someone call but I could barely keep my eyes open, I could barely move and all I could do was shiver.
"Lydia? What happened?" Aiden asks and confusion over washes me. Lydia?
The two boys kept talking about Lydia and took her inside. They didn't even help me. Wow I guess I've hit an all time low.
****
"Nia?" Derek calls and my eyes open. His arms hooked under my legs and supported my back as he picked me up.
"You're freezing." He says and carries me inside.
"Where was she?" Issac asks as Derek helps me over to a heater. "Balcony." Derek says whilst holding me. "Check behind her ear." Allison says and Derek does exactly that. "It's there." Derek answers.
"What?" I ask whilst groaning. "There's a 5 behind your ear." Derek says and I groan. "If I wanted a tattoo, I would've got one." I say and roll my eyes. "At least we know she's fine." Issac says.
"Come on." Derek says helping me up. He grabs a blanket and wraps it around me then picks me up. "This is just dramatic." I say as he carries me bridal style. "Do I look like I care?" He asks and I roll my eyes.
"You better clean this mess up." Derek says to the twins. "Thanks by the way." I say to one of the twins who look at me confused.
"Wait." I say to Derek as we head for the door. "What?" He asks stopping. "Where's Stiles?" I ask turning to Issac, Scott, Allison and another girl.
"He left a while ago." Scott says and I nod. "Let's go." I say to Derek who takes me down to my car.
He puts me down in the passenger seat of my car and gets in the drivers seat. "Where's your keys?" Derek asks and I groan. "In your jacket, which is in your loft." I say and Derek nods. "I'll be back." He says before running off and whilst waiting for him I fall asleep.
****
"Is she alright?" I hear dad ask. "Yeah, she just fell asleep." I hear Derek say. "Im gonna put her to bed, is it alright if I stay tonight?" Derek asks. "Sure thing. You know where her room is right?" Dad asks.
When Derek puts me to bed, he pulls the blanket over me. "Thanks." I mutter and roll over to fall asleep. I feel an arm around my waist and move into him and fall back to sleep.
