The next morning had approached, I had slept like a baby and it was amazing, the warmness of my bed, the comfy mattress. Oh, how I've missed it. I stretched my limbs as far as they could go, feeling the cool air brush over me as I pushed the covers back with my legs. It was great to be alive...

I got dressed for the day, and I was already at school, as I skipped breakfast as I had a big lunch yesterday night, while I was hunting for Lydia

I got dressed for the day, and I was already at school, as I skipped breakfast as I had a big lunch yesterday night, while I was hunting for Lydia. I walked up the steps of the front of the school, seeing Lydia and Allison walking together, before I picked up my pace.

"Hey guys," I said, smiling at them as they slowed down a bit, and took their gazes to me, offering a soft smile. I stood to the right of Lydia as Allison was on her left.

"Hey Alice," Lydia spoke up for both of them, she still did not know what happened to me, but she had her own little problem of her own.

"So, you really don't remember anything?" Allison had piped up looking at Lydia who casted her gaze at her. Lydia's face blank as she remembers nothing from the past two days.

"They called it a fugue state, which is basically a way of saying 'We have no idea why you can't remember running through the woods naked for two days,'" Lydia had spoke as we both listened to him, as we took each step to the entrance of the school, our heels clicking on the steps. "But personally, I don't care," we had stopped at the doors entrance. "I lost nine pounds," Lydia spoke with a smile on her face, glad that something came out of this. Allison and I smiled at her, glad that she was safe.

"Are you ready for this?" Allison asked Lydia, making sure she was ready to face the school.

"Please. It's not like my aunt's a serial killer," Lydia spoke with sass, before opening the door and entering. Allison took a glance to me with a slight sad expression, but I gave her a warm smile, before we entered through the door. I glanced up from the floor to see student's stopped where they were, some on the stairs as they looked at Lydia. I took a place next to her, and Allison came to the side of me, as everyone was just staring at us, but they were staring at Lydia and Allison. We stood there for a few moments in silence as every student in the hallway looked at us. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Lydia glancing around at the student's who just stare at her.

"Maybe it's the nine pounds," I lent into Lydia slightly to whisper to her. But she didn't say anything. She put her lips together smearing her lipstick around, before she flicked her hair out of the way, and walked, like she had no care in the world, like no one was watching her. Or she was owning the moment. 

Allison and I went after her, both of us smiling at her confidence and she didn't give a rat's ass who was watching, she was owning  the moment

Allison and I went after her, both of us smiling at her confidence and she didn't give a rat's ass who was watching, she was owning the moment. Lydia was a fierce queen. But she didn't know what had happened to me, she had her own problems to deal with. Scott and Stiles need to know before they think I'm a werewolf or anything else Stiles could come up with.

Half the school day had gone and I agreed to Lydia that I would meet her to talk to Jackson as she wanted to thank him for saving her life. We walked through the hallway, both our heels clicking against the floor.

"Thank you," Lydia had spoken up, after a few more clicks of our heels.

"For what?" I asked so innocently, as I had no clue what she was thanking me for, as I looked at her from the side as we kept on walking.

"For agreeing to do this with me," she replied with a warm smile on my face. "You're a true friend Alice," she spoke with such honesty that it melted my Immortal heart. I don't often let people in due to being a Vampire and all, but this century was different. Jackson came into view as he was at his locker putting things away, Lydia had gone up behind him, as I stood behind her and against the opposite side of the lockers they were at, but a bit further back. So Jackson couldn't see me, but I was still in human hearing range. Lydia began to talk to him but it was like he wasn't paying attention that much, as I eyed the back of him up.

"It's just... we haven't really talked since that night and... Jackson, can you, like, look at me for half a second?" She asked him, annoyed that he wasn't listening to her. I could hear him let out a sigh before turning around to face her while shutting his locker and Lydia came face to face with him now. "Listen if you hadn't found me and carried me back, I could have died," I get why she is going through this because if it wasn't for him, she would be dead. "So I just... I wanted to say thank you,"

"Lydia, we're not getting back together," Jackson replied, making me look at him with such unpleasant eyes that it could burn a hole in his face.

"What?" Lydia had spoke innocently, almost sounding dumb.

"And just because I kept you from bleeding out on a field once, don't expect me to come running every time you start screaming," Jackson spoke, and what a little shit he is for saying that. I mean who says such a thing? Does he have no heart at all? But I couldn't intervene, Lydia needed to do this on her own

"I never said..." Lydia retorted back at Jackson.

"I'm not responsible for you," Jackson had cut her off before she could speak anymore. They looked at each other for a moment, silence filled the bitter air between them. "Ok? But I will give you one piece of advice," Jackson offered her, but her facial expression was shocked like eyes wide and mouth a gape. "If I were you, I'd stay home tonight," Lydia was processing what he had just said to her, but I knew what it meant.

"What does that mean?" Lydia asked him as he walked away from her, making her spin on her heels to face him once again. "What's tonight?"

"It's a full moon," he replied to her, before walking away, but I could sense that he was smirking to himself and it wasn't even a good funny smirk, it's the 'one where you could smash his face in until something breaks' smirks. Lydia stood there watching him go, I could feel her pain from here. I took a few steps towards her, and wrapped my arms around her shoulders but side-ways.

"You don't need him, you have Allison and I," I spoke to her, lifting her spirits slightly as she wore a small smile. I gave her a loving hug as she just stood there, still sad, but getting better within time. After I left Lydia with the whole Jackson being a dick, I had a free lesson, so I went to Allison's lesson as she was still in. I walked down the hallway, and out of nowhere Scott had jumped down from the steps that lead to the office of the principal's. Before running down the hallway to the exit, bursting through the door like he was a man on a mission and I guess he was. I quickly followed suit behind. I reached the door at the end of the hall, I peered through the window it had and I saw Derek, who was talking to Scott, who was inches away from his car. I hadn't seen Derek since the night I died, and he has no idea I'm alive, and at this moment I think Scott has other things on his mind. Within moments, the second door swung open for Scott due to Derek opening it. Scott stood there for a moment before entering and the car zoomed off down the road.

Where are they going? What are they up too? I need to find out, and I have the perfect person to ask. See if he's up for a little chat. I smirked to myself as I went back down the hall...
