Gabriella and stiles watch Scott frantically search his room for his phone "Call it again"

Gabriella sighed getting sick of calling Scott's phone " it's not here"

Tossing blankets, pillows, lacrosse equipment, Scott tears through the place.

"So you lost your phone. Get a new one" Stiles said throwing himself on Scott's bed

" I can't afford a new one. And I
can't do this alone. We have to find Derek"

Gabriella looked at him her face scrunchied up "what are we, chopped liver?"

" and didn't you tell me Derek

walked right into gunfire?" Stiles said stating that he thinks Derek is dead

Scott shakes his head "Argent's plan was use him to get the Alpha. They won't kill him"

Stiles shrugged "Then let them do what they're planning. They use Derek to get Peter, problem solved"

"Not if Peter's going after Allison to find Derek. I can't protect her myself. Which means I need to find Derek first. Just help me"

Gabby went to sit down next to scott "Scott your forgetting that am here and I can look after Allison I can protect her when your not around... and she's kinda safer with me around than you"

before Scott can respond Gabriella shushes him as she hears a sound of a car engine rumbling.

Stiles looked confused on why the two of them stopped talking "What?"

"Mrs.McCall's home"

Gabriella and Scott focus closely on the car so they can listen in on what she is saying.

She was talking to Peter or more accurately his voice machine "...Lunch is good. Or coffee. If you drink coffee. Maybe you drink tea. Maybe we could just go for drinks? I think I'll need a few after this profoundly embarrassing message So, if you're not totally freaked out by this disastrous call, feel free to give me... a call"

Gabriella and Scott's expression change as they felt like the worst people in the world at that moment.

"Is she okay?"stiles asked after failing to understand the look on their face.

Scott shakes his head no, still listening.

"What's she doing now?"

"Crying" Gabriella slumps down on Scott's bed in utter misery.

"Guys, You can't protect everyone"

" I know but we need to atleast try"

[...]

Gabriella head is clouded not knowing what to do next, the hunters have Derek, the alpha knows where Scott lives and made his way into there personal lives.

Knowing that she doesn't have control over that situation she foucses on somthing she has control over the dance.

Gabriella has arranged for Allison Lydia and her to go on a shopping trip to look for dresses for the dance.

They were going after school and stiles was gonna be with them since he still needed to find a suit.

Closing her locker Gabriella turned a corner to see Scott and stiles peaking out behind a wall and looking at Jackson talking to Allison.

Gabriella made her way to them slowly and said startling them" what the hell are you guys doing?"

The two boys quickly turn around frightened

Stiles stuttered trying to come up with an excuse "Uh...we we're-"

"spying on Allison?"

"No! Well, yes... kinda"

Scott sighs "we are just making sure Jackson asks allison to the dance"

"I'm confused I thought you didn't want allison to move on and that your still trying to get her back"

" this is just so she has extra protection during the dance"

"Jackson is her protection?"

Stiles said looking at jackson "he's more like an airbag, he is just there to lessen the fall damage."

"And am going" scott Said making gabriella confused

"your banned from the dance"

"that won't stop me"

Stiles turned to scott "Is that really a good idea? Do you even have a date?"

"Not yet"

"Do you have a suit?"

"Not yet"

"A ticket to the formal? A ride?"

"No and no"

"ok let me get this straight  you're riding your bike to a dance you're not allowed to go to, without a suit, a date or a way in, with werewolves and werewolf hunters all out to kick your werewolf ass?" Gabriella said looking at scott in disbelief

Scott smiled at her "Yeah. You going to help me?"

Gabriella sighs before answering him with a smile "why not"

[...]

Gabriella walks around the clothing stand looking for the perfect dresses for the dance one for her and one for erica.

She turned the corner to see Lydia placing a dress on a stack held in Stiles's arms.

He glances to Gabriella for help, but she's just smiled teasingly at him before going to another section.

Where she saw allison talking to a man looking very uncomfortable but she wasn't talking to a random man, she was talking to Peter Hale, the alpha.

He reaches for Allison's hand and brought a dress from the stand behind him close to her skin "you don't mind right?"

Gabriella stepped infront of allison "pretty sure she does, now take your hand of her before you lose it."

Peter gives her a small smile before dropping allison's hand.

" Allison wasn't that you're car that was mentioned in the announcement" Gabriella said quickly wanting allison to get out of there and away from the werewolf.

Recalling back to the announcement allison realized that it was her car and excused herself as she races around the racks and head for the exit.

" what game are you playing"

"I don't know what your talking about"

"bullshit, this is between you and scott Allison has nothing to do with this"

"allison has everything to do just like you she just doesn't know it yet"

"what are you talking about?"Gabriella looked at Peter confused did he know somthing she didn't?

" you'll find out soon enough"

Having had enough with his bullshit Gabriella grabs his hand breaking a finger off and putting into Peter's pocket as he grabs the spott his finger was once in 

"this is your last warning stay away from Allison or you'll lose alot more" Gabriella walks away wiping her bloody hand on her black jeans knowing that she will do alot more to him if they weren't in public.

[...]

The soft glow of fairy lights hung around the room creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. Gabriella stands outside Erica's bedroom door, a vibrant, beautifully wrapped gift in her hands. She takes a deep breath, knocking gently.

"Come in!" Erica said from inside her room

Gabriella enters, and her eyes widen as she sees Erica standing in front of her full-length mirror. Erica is in her pajamas, her hair a mess, and a worried expression on her face "Hey! I brought a little something, Open it!"

Erica carefully unwraps the gift, revealing a stunning, flowy, grayish blue dress that shimmers in the light." Gabriella, it's... it's amazing!"

Gabriella grinned as she looks at ericas face "I thought it would be perfect for you. Now, let's get you ready!"

Gabriella helps Erica change into the dress, her fingers deftly zipping it up. Erica twirls in front of the mirror, the dress fitting her like a dream.

"Thank you, Gabby. You're literally my fairy godmother"

" no am better I dont need a stupid little stick"

Erica laughs at Gabriella as they begin the process of getting her ready for the dance.

Gabriella helps Erica with her hair and makeup, and they chat and laugh as they prepare.

With the final touch of lipstick, Erica is ready. She looks stunning in the emerald dress, her confidence radiating "I can't believe this is happening, Gabby"

"You're going to be the belle of the ball and maybe you'll finally realizes who your prince charming is" Gabriella hinted at the person she was thinking of by holding out a teddy bear that they got them.

Erica scrunchies her face in disgust "ew gross Lucas is like my brother"

" sure" Gabriella said not believing what Erica was saying.

"it's true and he isn't the one that I like anyways

Gabriella dropped the hairbrush that was in her hand and looked at Erica " you have a crush and you didn't tell me! Who is it?!"

"That would be none of your business"

" C'mon, please?"

"Nope, my lips are sealed, Now let's get you ready for the party"

Not leaving room for Gabriella to argue Erica unzips the bag that contains Gabriella's dress and begins to push Gabriella to the bathroom with the dress in her hand so Gabriella changes into it.

After an hour of perfecting makeup and hair both if the girls are ready and right on time like they planned days prior to that night.

Now the girls stand on Erica's porch, the blonde nervously adjusting her  dress.

Gabriella, equally anxious, is by her side, beaming with excitement. " You look stunning, Erica. Don't be nervous; you're going to have an amazing time"

"Thanks, Gabby. I'm just not sure about this whole dance thing" As Erica expresses her concerns, the sound of a car pulling up the driveway catches their attention.

Lucas steps out of the car, holding a bouquet of roses  "Erica, you look incredible"

"Thanks, Lucas"

Gabriella notices the interaction between Erica and Lucas, realizing that they are just friends.

Gabriella whispered to Erica "You two look great together"

Erica whispered back" Yeah, but just as friends"

Gabriella nods in understanding, and the two friends share a reassuring smile.

Gabriella's attention was pulled away as she see's Stiles pulls up in his jeep, looking dapper in his suit "Hey, beautiful"

" Hey, Stiles" Gabriella hops into the car, and they exchange an affectionate kiss.

"You're breathtaking, as always"

" You're not so bad yourself"

As they drive off to the dance, Gabriella and Stiles share a sense of excitement and anxious for the night ahead knowing it could end with them all being happy and safe or if could end with them being exposed and indanger.

[...]

Gabriella and Stiles arrive at the school dance, the venue bathed in soft, colorful lights.

Stiles parks the car and quickly rushes over to open the door for Gabriella.

She steps out, a smile of gratitude on her face.

Stiles says gallantly "After you, my lady"

Gabriella blushes at him, feeling like she's living a fairy tale.

She takes his hand and steps out, her pink dress catching the dance floor's enchanting glow.

"Gabriella, you look absolutely beautiful tonight"

Gabriella's heart flutters at his sincere compliment. It's as though the entire world around them fades away, leaving only their shared moment. She gazes into Stiles' eyes, touched by his words.

"Thank you, Stiles. You make me feel like the luckiest girl in the world"

" No, Gabriella, I don't think you understand. You look more than beautiful; you look like a dream come to life. I'm so in love with you, and words can't express how deeply I feel. You've filled my world with color and warmth, and I'm grateful for every moment we share"

Gabriella is moved to tears by Stiles' words, overwhelmed by the depth of his emotions.

They share a meaningful silence, both knowing that their love is something truly extraordinary.

As they enter the dance hand in hand, Gabriella's heart swells with love for Stiles, and she's more certain than ever that their love is something to cherish and hold onto.

The magic of the dance awaits them, but right now, they're lost in the magic of their connection.

[...]

Gabriella, Erica, Stiles and Lucas were now at the dance as they talked a slow song began to play.

Lucas dragged Erica to the middle of the dance floor as Erica tried to make herself heavier so she doesn't have to dance but Lucas moves her with ease.

Gabriella laughed at the sight infront of her as stiles extended his hand, and with a sweet smile, Gabriella accepted it, stepping closer to him.

The two started to sway to the music, their movements matching the rhythm of their hearts.

But the rhythm was soon interrupted by coach screaming from across the gymnasium at a student, that student was no other than Scott McCall.

Pushing through a wave students, Coach heads right for him even as Scott rushes into the jammed dance floor.

Fast moving bodies jostling him, Coach gets an elbow into the chest.

It slows him only momentarily while
The floor begins clearing, the uncoupled heading back to tables while the coupled clasp hands to slow dance.

Scott spins back to see Coach closing in. Then, turning around again, Scott spots salvation in one person: Danny.

"Dance with me" Scott grabs him.

"What? No"

" Danny, please. Dance with me. Right now"

He puts his arms around Danny, yanking him into an awkward embrace.

"McCall, what the hell do you think you're doing?"

EVERY COUPLE around them pauses to notice Coach charging forward as if to chastise a gay couple for dancing with each other in public.

" You're not supposed to..." coach paused as he realizes how this looks like "You shouldn't be... um..."

He looks from one hostile glare to the next. Scott pulls a bewildered Danny closer to him" Yes, Coach?"

The teens bear down on Coach, eyeing him with pure hostility "Okay, hold on..."

Even the DeeJay leans over his booth to stare.

The entire room now frighteningly quiet and still.

"I was... I mean, I wasn't... I'm not... You guys don't think I'm..."

Gabriella and stiles watch from afar, stiles lips are tightly pressed together trying not to laugh as Gabriella laughs out loud not caring if the coach hears her.

Coach finally steps back in retreat and looks to the crowd of students.

" dance everybody, just dance...What the hell are you looking at Greenberg?"

Gabriella and stiles watch as scott leaves one relationship for another as he starts to dance with Allison.

There focus was redirected to somone tapping Gabriella on her shoulder she turns around to see Lydia's date Dylan "Hey Gabriella do you know where Lydia is?"

" no sorry the cast time I saw her she saw drinking the punch."

" is everything alright?" Lucas and Erica came to them after they saw the worried expression on Gabriella's face.

Gabriella said lookinb around the room "yea, we just have no clue where Lydia is but it's probably because somone spiked the punch"

"We'll just split up to find her Lucas you know where the lacrosse field is so you check there, I'll check the cafeteria, Dylan you check the parking lot, Gabriella you check the library and stiles you check the swimming pool"

Erica told them so they can find Lydia faster, she might hate Lydia but Gabriella cared about the redhead to some extent so now she had to put their differences aside to find Lydia as they split up Gabriella headed to the library.

She looked in every aisle, she looked under the tables and where the computers were but nothing.

She was gonna make her way back to the dance but stops as she got a compelling urge to go to the Lacrosse Field.

As she entered the lacrosse field Gabriella knew peter had been here she could smell it.

she saw two figures covered in blood lying in the middle of the field.

She rushes to them and as she gets closer she releases that the two figures were Lydia and Lucas.

Lydia wounds had stop bleeding but Lucas's wounds were much worst blood was gushing out of them.

She uses her ears and hears his weak heart beat, he wasn't gonna make it for much longer.

Gabriella looked around her hoping somone would come and help her but there wasn't anyone around.

She looked back at the boy whose life was shortening by the second and decided to make the rash decision.

She lowered her mouth to his arm and bit down.

Giving him the bite.

The bite that destroys anything and anyone it touches.

The bite that she swore she won't give to somone without there permission.

The bite that was making her one step closer to becoming like her father.

She raised her head away from him and wiped her blood mouth, she couldn't believe what she had done, she couldn't believe she ruined a normal teenager's life by saving him.

If it was any other person she wouldn't have don't it but it wasn't anyone else it was Lucas, Erica's designated brother.

Erica's life was already unfair having to spend most of her time at the hospital, having to worry every single second is she was gonna have a seizure, being alone for most of her life, being bullied and made fun of somthing she can't control.

If erica lost Lucas, Gabriella knows Erica won't be able to handle it, lucas was the first one who hadn't make her feel like a freak like she was less then them, Lucas was the first friend she had, if she loses him she'd be crushed.

Lost in her thoughts she hadn't noticed someone else was on the field, she only noticed the person when they put there hand on her shoulder.

Jumping quickly to her feet Gabriella faces the person ready to attack but stands down when she saw who the person was it was Jackson. "Your like them, A Werewolf and you bit him..."

" I had too he was dying"

Jackson hesitated for a moment, then decided to help Gabriella carry Lucas. As they reached the edge of the field, Gabriella turned to Jackson, confused on why he was on the field and not in the dance

"Jackson, why are you here? What's going on?"

Jackson looked conflicted, weighing his options. "I told the hunters about Scott. They know he's a werewolf"

Gabriella's eyes widened with shock and anger. "You what? You betrayed him?"

"No! You don't understand-"

" your right I don't and right now I don't even have the time... Take Lydia and Lucas to the hospital. I'll deal with Scott and the hunters. Just don't tell anyone about me being here and tell Stiles about everything if you see him"

Gabriella ran away from the field with a heavy heart from the weight of her actions and the looming threat of the hunters. She needed to find Scott before the hunters do, even if it leaving the consequences of her decision to give the bite to face later.

Running through the woods following Scott's scent when all the sudden Gabriella hears a powerful HOWL, it was powerful enough to send a flock of BIRDS scattering from the trees.

Gabriella slowly cocks her head wondering what Scott was doing but then she heard another sound whisper through the wind, hurtling toward her
The sound of Derek howling a reply.

"he finally started to use his brain" Gabriella smiled before Moving at a superhuman speed, propelled through the woods, racing to follow Derek's call.

After a while of running she stops from where the voice of the howl came, it was somewhere under the hale house.

She walked around trying to find the entrance when she sees Scott " hey At least his howl game has improved"

Scott just looked at her with a not the time look before he heads to the underground entrance to Derek.

As they entered where Derek was held they saw Derek tied up with metal around his wrist connected to a electric generator.

One of Derek's hand crushed the baseball bat the hunter that was torturing him holding before punishing him unconscious "cmon help
