Scott and Elizabeth walked through the parking garage as she helped him with groceries. She had met up with him to talk about the Alpha, and ways they could find out who it was.

"I don't have a clue as to how to find out who he or she is." Elizabeth said. "I'm a Hunter, and I don't know anything about werewolves; which is sad."
"You've been a Hunter for eight months." He said, grinning.
"I still should know." She muttered.

He placed his thing of bags down and pushed the car lock, trying to find the car when something rolled towards Elizabeth's feet.

A low growl caused them to run, not looking back. Elizabeth's chest ached as she ran without enough breath, following Scott.
"It's the Alpha!" He yelled.

They ran around the parking garage as loud snarls echoed as they turned multiple corners. Scott grabbed her arm and pulled her down onto the ground on the side of a car, both of them staying quiet.
His heart raced, and he swallowed.

As they ran for it again, Scott caused every car he crawled on to go off. Elizabeth ran humanly, continuing to follow him.

As they crouched behind another car, she felt her stomach churn.
She slapped his arm as his phone began to ring, and she let out a scream as he was grabbed by the shoulders, being lifted. Scott's body was slammed onto the hood of the car, and a hand gripped Elizabeth's arm.

She blinked multiple times as Derek stood over Scott. "You're dead."

What the hell was that?" Elizabeth shouted as the three walked down the garage ramps.
"I said I would teach you. I didn't say when."
"Yeah, teach Scott, not me!" She yelled.
"You scared the crap out of me!" Scott yelled.
"Not yet." Derek replied.

"Okay but I was fast, right?"
"Not fast enough."
"But the car alarm thing - that was smart right?"
"Until your phone rang."
"That was - I mean - Would you just stop!"

Elizabeth stopped walking as Derek did.
"Please?"
"What happened the other night, Stiles' dad getting hurt, that was my fault! I should've been there to do something I need you to teach me how to control this!"
"Look, I am what I am because of birth. You were bitten. Teaching someone who was bitten takes time!"

Elizabeth crossed her arms over her chest.

"I don't even know if I can teach you."
"What do I have to do?"
"You have to get rid of distractions."

He grabbed Scott's phone, holding it up into his eye view. "You see this? This is why I caught you."
Elizabeth grimaced as Allison's contact appeared.

"You want me to teach you, get rid of her."
Elizabeth's mouth fell agape.
"What, just because of their family?" He asked, pointing at Elizabeth.

Derek didn't reply as he held Scott's phone up again, and he threw it against the wall.
"Hey!" Scott screamed.
"Getting angry? That's your first lesson. If you learn how to control this and how to shift - you do it with anger by tapping in to primal animal raging, you can't do that with her around!"

Elizabeth frowned to herself as she stood there during their argument. Allison was Scott's biggest distraction.

"I can get angry."
"Not angry enough! This is the only way I can teach you. Now, can you stay away from her? At least until after the full-moon."
"If that's what it takes."
"Do you want to live? Do you want to protect your friends - yes or no?"
"Yes! If you can teach me... I can stay away from her."

Scott walked off to his car, and Elizabeth turned to follow Derek. "You scared the hell out of me."
"You lived, didn't you?" He asked as he opened his car door.
Elizabeth licked her lips as he watched her.

He sighed. "I'm sorry that I scared you. Does that make you feel better?"
"No, because you don't mean it." She said.
Derek stepped towards her, and she swallowed.

"I know you don't trust my family, but you're wrong about me." She said through her teeth. Her green eyes lingered down to his lips as he looked at her.
"I'm wrong about you?"
"You can't let yourself trust me because of what my family does." She said as she breathed in.

"I'm not the bad guy, Derek. Realize that."

He didn't say anything as their eyes locked. His ears focused on the sound of her heart beat, that was fast as he stared at her.

She finally sighed. "I might forgive you if you give me a ride home."

He scoffed and walked towards his car, stopping as he opened the door again.

"Get in."
