Allison wrapped her arms around my neck and Lydia snuggled into my side , she pulled away like she had been crying earlier on

"We thought you had gone forever" Lydia snuffles wiping her nose with her sleeve

"Not getting rid of me that easily" i wink and Allison smiled showing her perfect teeth

"Im in the mood for ice cream, I think we should go for ice cream" Allison states

"At ten oclock on a school night , Alli?" Lydia questions with a eye roll

"Im in" i say high fiving Allison before we look at eachother and scream in sync,

"SARAH R'S PALOUR!!!!" Gaining a glare from Lydia who grabs the keys and ushers us towards her car. When we get there we amidiatly spring out the car and childishly race each other to the fround counter , where we ordered the same thing - earning another squeal from Allison. Lydia pushes us into a booth like a mother , but when she saw the ice cream all her sensability was kicked to the side as we all dove into the ice cream.

When i was younger i had , had my birthday party here. Mainly because my mum could get a discount being best friends with Sarah. Sarah and J Reyes were extreamly close to my parents largely because i sister'ed there daughter at school. She had epilepsy meaning she frequently had to take tablets also resulting in weight gain and achne even at a young age.

"Lydia , Allison" a woman called rushing across the ice cream parlour to embrace them both into a hug. She looks at me and gasps almost toppling back

I swear she looks so much like Hanna

I cringe in my seat as she inspects my face finally shaking away the naging thought .

"And who are you?" Mrs Reyes asks putting her hands on her hips

"Im blue" i say with a sweet smile and she nods back. She was older , obviously, but her hair still fell in blonde curls and she only slightly had wrinkles coming through

"Ah thats what i wanted to ask you" Mrs Reyes said spinning to Lydia with a pointing finger "Erica seems to be you know....looking better shes not as weight-y and her achne is like... gone. Has she stopped taking the meds?" Sarah stutters and i feel both the girls tense

"Erica hasnt been at school for the past week, Mrs Reyes" Allison manages

"Really?" She says with an eyebrow raise and then the door bell chimes and in steps a tall girl with blonde ringlets of hair and bright red lipstick. She wore high heels and the tighest black skirt. My jaw slackens- that thing was Erica. She was one of my good friends- she was the girl with the baggy tops and messy hair.

"Erica!" Her mum called but she sniffed at her and strut the opposite way to us. Mrs Reyes sighs and looks back onto us girls "you need to be getting home its almost eleven" she says before turning around and rushing after her daughter.

"Does she remember you ?" Allison asks

"Yeah she defenaitly does" i say rubbing my eyes wigh my sleeve "so has Erica stopped taking the medication?" I say taking another spoonful of icecream. The girls look at eachother then back at me , then back at eachother again before leaning forward and whispering 3 words

"She was bitten"

"So shes a werewolf too?" I ask my eyes widened and they both reply with a yes. I look out onto the ice cream parlour, everything remained the same - like time had stood still. The table across from us brought back memories , it was the one my parents had told me i was going to have a baby brother. It was also the table that both me and Erica met at.

"Yeah and derek bit her" Lydia sighs pushing the ice cream from her and taking a deep breath.

"Whos to say Dereks not going to bite me and Blue , Lyds?" Allison says rubbing her temple.

"More importantly - he might bite Skye" i added and we looked at each other. A voice echos through my head and i shoot upwards

"Blue?" Allison asks worriedly

"Its Skye. I can hear her... she needs help" the girls look at me

"Thats a big coincedence , Blue , are you sure your not hallucinating?" Lydia sooths

"I-Its not Derek... shes being chased"

"Chased? By who?" Allison questions twirling her hair between her fingers. I close my eyes and bite my lip

"Shes with Liam" the others sigh with relief but i rush towards the door

"What are you doing? She'll be safe with Liam" Lydia calls rushing after me.

"A guy called Brett is chasing them?"

"And?"

"Did you guys forget the fact that Liam has IED, hes literally a walking time bomb? Oh and to top it off theyre being chased by Brett , who if you dont know is also a werewolf. Skye is supposed to be protected from this evil world- i was supposed to be protecting her and now she is running with and from a FRICKEN WEREWOLF" I push my hands into the pockets on my bum in my trousers.

"We're coming too" Allison shouts , i wait until they are both behind me to start running.

I was running for Skye,
for Derek,
And even for Liam.

But i knew just from latching onto Bretts thoughts that he wasnt a bad guy- something had defenaitly happened to him...
I just hoped it had nothing to do with Teur or Jake.
