Aurelia sits at her desk in her room with her phone wedged between her ear and her shoulder as she talks to Derek. "Well, you bit Victoria and Nike, Derek. It's not exactly what I'd call good." Aurelia says. 

"They were going to kill Scott, Aurelia. What was I supposed to do?" Derek asks. 

"Not bite them. Chris called and asked me to go and check on Nike, the bite took. So, nobody else knows yet. But Victoria? Regardless of whether or not the bite took, she's going to die, Derek. And I've got a feeling the Argents aren't going to be very happy with you." Aurelia says.

"Yeah, well, their stupid hunter code is going to be what kills her. Not me." Derek says. 

"Derek, I know she's a hunter, okay? I'm not exactly sitting here as her biggest fan. But she's still a mother and a wife. She's still a person. And the Argents? They're gonna want revenge." Aurelia says. 

"Yeah, well, we'll deal with them, but we also have Jackson to worry about. And honestly, I'm a little more worried about the homicidal lizard that can paralyse us than I am about the Argents. Especially since said homicidal lizard will kill you instead of paralysing you." Derek says.

"Yeah, well, you've also got a full moon and three betas with no grasp of control to worry about." Aurelia says. 

"Yeah, I know. Are you gonna come give me a hand?" He asks.

"Oh, because that can't possibly go wrong. One very easily killed witch and three out of control, newly turned betas. Sounds like a hell of a time." Aurelia retorts sarcastically. 

"Aura," Derek says and she rolls her eyes. 

"Yes, I'll be there. I just don't know how much help I'll be. I'm kind of lacking in strength and healing and anything that would help against werewolves." Aurelia says. 

"Are you forgetting you're a witch again?" Derek asks and she rolls her eyes again. 

"No, Derek. But I can't just use my magic on them. They have to learn control or they're never going to survive as wolves." Aurelia says. 

"And we'll help them. I'll teach them. But I can't do that whilst we're hiding from the Argents and trying to stop the Kanima. I don't have enough time." Derek says. 

"Then you shouldn't have turned them in the first place." The witch responds. 

"Okay, criticism, really isn't helpful right now." Derek says and she sighs. "I needed a pack, Aurelia. I didn't have a choice." Derek says and she nods a little. 

"I know, Der. But now that you've got one, you've got to at least act like you care about them." Aurelia says, glancing at the time. "Okay, look, I've got to go. I've got an appointment in twenty minutes. I'll see you tonight, okay?" 

"Okay. I'll see you later." Derek responds before hanging up and Aurelia sighs, shoving her phone in the bag on her desk before closing her computer down. 

"Going somewhere?" Sebastian asks, walking past her room as she grabs her coat and bag after slipping her shoes on and she looks up. 

"Yeah, I've got an appointment." Aurelia responds.
