The next morning I woke up when my alarm clock woke me, as usual. I opened my eyes and pressed snooze and I turned back when I heard someone moan. I heard someone moan? I jumped out of bed and in the couch at the end of my bed I saw Erica. I remembered it was late yesterday and I offered her to stay here, but she didn't want to use my spare room for some reason. I relaxed and walked to her.
"Erica." I poked her and she started to stir
"Erica, wake up." Her eyes opened and she looked at me
"You can take this shower. I'll shower downstairs. Do you need some fresh clothes? I think we have the same size."
"Uhm- sure. Thanks." I nodded and I handed her some normal clothes. Not too flashy, but not too nerdy either. I would like to have to "normal" Erica back, but I guess that's not really happening. I showed her the bathroom and went to the bathroom downstairs for a quick was before I got dressed. I went back upstairs to my bedroom and when I walked passed the bathroom I heard Erica on the phone I stopped with still my hand on the handle and listened to their conversation
"No, Derek, nothing happened."
'Yeah, right. Then where are you?'
"I'm at her place."
'Why are you still at her place if nothing happened?'
"It became late last night she invited me."
'Invited you? So she knows you were following her?'
"No, I said I just wanted to see where she lived." I rolled my eyes, right I acted like I believed it
'Yeah, right.'
"No, really. She doesn't suspect anything." Wow, she's not that smart, is she?
'Come back here.'
"When?"
'Now.'
"I can't."
'Why not?Where are you?'
"I'm still at her place."
'What? Leave.'
"I can't just leave!"
'Yes, you can!' They were shouting at each other now, even if I didn't have super hearing I would be able to hear them. I went inside my bedroom and made sure I closed the door extra hard so she would hear me
"Shht, she's upstairs. I need to go. I'll come as soon as possible."
'I'm picking you up at school. Make sure you're there.' I heard a beep, signaling the conversation was over. A few seconds later the door opened and a smiling Erica walked inside. I acted like I just didn't hear them talking about me.
"Hey, do the clothes fit?"
"Yeah, thanks."
"It's been a while since I saw you in a jeans." She snorted and took mascara from my make - up table holding it in front of me
"Can I use this?" I nod and do my own make -up while Erica stands beside me, looking over at the clock every 10 seconds
"Something wrong, Erica?"
"No, why are you asking?"
"You keep checking the time." I acted like I'm completely stupid
"Uhm - It's nothing. I'm just nervous we're not gonna be on time."
"We'll leave right now, then we're gonna be early, but I don't think that's a problem, right?" She shakes her head and smiles. We get in my car and I drive to school with Erica ticking her fingers on the dashboard.
"Can you stop that please?"
"What?"
"The ticking. It's distracting."
"Oh, sure." She lays her hand on her lap and we drive on the parking lot. I see Erica's eyes scan the parking and they stop at some point. I guess Derek's already here.
"Thanks for tonight. I don't think I would've get home."
"You're welcome." I smile and she get's out the car and walks around all the car to get to Derek. She's trying to be subtle, but me standing in front of the door of the hunter, with no way in is even more subtle than this. I roll my eyes and get out my car before locking it. Scott and Stiles wave me over
"Why was Erica in your car?!" Stiles nearly yelled at me
"A good morning to you too, Stiles" I say sarcastically
"I got her spying on me."
"So? Why was she in your car?"
"I compelled her to forget what she saw--"
"What did she saw?!" Scott bargains in
"Me in the forest. I didn't really look human, did I?" I whisper
"But she doesn't remember. I made sure of that. But after I ran her over I had to take her home with me and we started talking so it would be less suspicious and after a while it was almost midnight and I let her sleep on the couch." I quickly explained what happened when I got a call.
"It's Allison." I say and suddenly everyone tenses
"Yes, Allison?" I answer my phone
'We need to talk. In private.'
"What kind of private?" 
'Uhm, our kind of private.' She says emphasizing the our
"Can the boys come?" I ask when Stiles is pointing his chest wildly
'Yes, they need to hear this too.' I nod even thought she can't see me. I roll my eyes at myself and I motion the guys to follow me somewhere deserted.

Allison told us about what Lydia had translated.
"A master" I repeat to myself while in he distance I hear Scott and Stiles talk to Allison through my phone. I'm only standing 2 steps away, but it feels like miles. I get out of my trance when someone snaps his fingers in front of me. I blink a few times and I look up to Stiles
"Hey, are you OK?" I nod
"Yeah, I'm fine." Stiles looks at me with a sad smile
"My dad called. Scott and I need to go to his office. Are you coming?" I shake my head
"I'm not feeling so well. I think I'm going back home."
"You sure?" I nod
"It's nothing. It'll be over soon" I put on a fake smile and Stiles returned one, but I could see it was a fake one as well. Scott, who was waiting outside, and Stiles left and as I said I walked to my car. I got in and I laid my head on the steering wheel. I closed my eyes, wishing this whole thing isn't real. I tens up when someone taps my window. I slowly look up and see Isaac standing there. I scroll my window down
"Hey, you OK?"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine."
"You don't look fine." I look in the mirror to my reflection. he's right, I really don't look fine
"It's nothing. I'm on my way home anyway."
"Why?"
"Are you gonna follow me as well?"
"How do you mean?" Isaac pulls jumps, but soon he controls it
"I'm not stupid. I know why Erica was in my yard last night."
"Yeah, 'bout that."
"I don't need excuses. Just tell Derek that I don't want to be followed."
"Don't look at it that way."
"How could I look at it otherwise?"
"Uhm- look at it this way. He's worried about you."
"Why would he be worried about me? I can take care of myself just fine."
"Yeah, I believe you, but he doesn't. You're just human and Scott is more with Stiles than with you."
"What?"
"I wants one of us to stay with you. To keep you safe." I wasn't answering. I blinked a few times and my head got cloudy. Everything started spinning
"Cassandra?" Isaac's voice pulled me back. I looked up at him, still not answering
"OK, move over. I'm driving." I would tell him to go away, but my head was getting heavy and I moved over to the passenger seat where I fell asleep
