Teen Wolf – Reinventing Your Exit
Chapter 12 :: Reverse this Curse

Veda groaned as she looked at herself in the mirror again. She didn't want to look too nice for Lydia's party but she didn't want to look like a total bum either. She walked away from the mirror again to change into yet another outfit. In all honesty she didn't know why she was trying to look nice in any way or manner, Isaac would be dealing with creatures of the full moon problems.

Her phone rang from its spot of her bed and she thought about ignoring it but changed her mind last second and dove on the bed to grab it before it went to voicemail. "Hey Snowman!" She greeted into the phone. "What's up?" She cradled the phone between she shoulder and ear as she decided on a nice part of black skinny jeans. "Sure I'd love a ride, thanks buddy." She walked over to her closet to look through her nicer tops yet again. "Okay, I'll see you around 9 o'clock. Later." Hanging up the phone she tossed it over to the bed.

She finally decided on a red V-neck dress top and red heels to match. She looked at herself in the mirror again. "Well that will just have to do." She stated and began to work on her make-up; consisting of mascara and eye-liner. Her phone rang again but this time she walked over to it. She grinned and answered the line. "Hey Isaac." She was so happy that he was calling her now. "I wish you were going to this birthday party. I can already see how boring it's going to be." She sighed and pulled out a book to read. "Nothing to fancy, just jeans and a dress top… and heels." She answered his question. "Alright, I'll send a picture later. Are you worried about tonight?"

The conversation continued until Luna came into her room begging to go for a walk. "I'll talk to you later, stay safe Handsome." Once she was off the phone she changed her shoes to flats and grabbed Luna's leash. "Ma I'm going for a walk with Luna, be right back for dinner."

Time flew after that until Stiles arrived at her door. "Hey, real quick can you take a picture – I almost forgot." She handed her phone to Stiles and posed in the hallway quickly. "I can only imagine that this is going to Isaac." He rolled his eyes and handed her phone back. "Oh, hush you." She stuck her tongue out at him. She typed a small message to Isaac with the picture before putting it in her pocket.

Isaac looked down at his phone for the twelfth time in the past four minutes and frowned. Still no message from Veda and he was growing impatience. Finally his phone vibrated in his hand and he almost dropped the phone in his rush to look at the screen. Hey dollface, I miss you. Please come see me tomorrow. Xox

He smiled at the message before saving the picture to his phone. Derek had pulled out a large box grabbing the packs attention. He opened the box and inside was a symbol with three swirls. "What is that?" He asked as he leaned down to touch it.

"It's a triskele." Boyd spoke up first. "Spirals mean different things. Past, present future. Mother, father, child."

Derek looked over at the boy "Know what it means to me?" He asked.

"Alpha, beta and omega."

Derek nodded his head. "That's right."

Veda and Stiles pulled up to Lydia's house, an obnoxiously large gift sat in the back of the Jeep. "What the hell did you get here?" Veda asked. "You'll see." He answered as he turned the car off. He jumped out the car and grabbed the large package. "Can you ring the doorbell?" He asked. Veda let out a soft laugh. "Yeah, I think I can manage that."

She rang the bell and stepped back as Lydia opened the door, a tray of drinks in her hand. "Happy Birthday!" Stiles greeted her loudly. "Yeaaahh." Lydia forced a smile at the boy with the large package. "Coming in." Stiles tried to walk into the house only to hit a corner of the present on the door frame. He kept struggling as Lydia walked away. "Don't forget to try the punch." She yelled over her shoulder. Veda rolled her eyes and helped Stiles tilt the package the right way. He carried it into the living room. "Thanks, I have to find Scott. You go mingle and have fun."

Before she could say anything he was off. Veda looked around the house, the strangely empty house. She found Prada and picked the small dog and placed her on the couch next to her. There was no way she was standing on those heels the whole night. It was about forty five minutes later the doorbell rang and she watched Lydia open the door. "And you are?"

"We're here for the party." A voice answered and there was moment of silence as Lydia looked them over. "Well come on in." It was very sudden that the house was over flown with people; Veda took this time to find a drink and attempt to mingle with other guests. The punch wasn't that bad, Veda was actually on her second glass when she started feeling light headed. She should have known it would have been spiked. She attempted to make her way into the kitchen to find some water and bashed into someone on the way. "Ugh, I'm so sorry – I'm such a klutz at times." She giggled. Why the hell was that funny? Hands grabbed her arms to steady her. "You alright there Veda?" The voice asked.

With all of her nightmares she should have really been upset to hear his voice out of all people. "Jaaames, I didn't know you were coming." She smiled at him. "Have you been drinking?" He asked as he looked around, as if looking to see if anyone was watching them. "I had some punch, Lydia insisted that I try some. It's pretty good." She laughed a little. "I think it has been spiked." She attempted to whisper to him but it came out as a loud whisper anyway.

"Yeah, I can tell." He released her now that she seemed to have her footing. "Did you come here with anyone?" He asked leaning in a little closer.

"James, are you hitting on me?" She giggled. "You know I have a boyfriend." He started to lead her into the house. "I am aware of that as well." He stated. "Let's get you inside." He stated. "No, no the stars are so pretty tonight. Look at the moon, it is dangerous you know?" She questioned him.

"What, the moon?" He asked her back. "Yeah, it brings out the creatures that go bump in the night. Always another ghost story to scare the children with." Something caught her attention in the corner of her eye. "Isaac?" She questioned. "He can't be here." She pulled away from James. "I'll be right back." She stated as she moved into the crowd of dancing people to locate her boyfriend. "Isaac, Isaac where are you? Come on, this isn't funny." A voice whispered in her ear. "Who said that it was supposed to be funny?" She whimpered at his closeness. "Isaac, it is dangerous. It's the full moon. You could lose control." She stated. "Who said I wanted to be in control?" He seethed into her ear and she felt a sharp bit into her neck. She let out a yelp and grabbed her neck. Nothing. She spun on her heel but there wasn't any Isaac, or any other werewolf she could see.

It was now that she registered that everyone was freaking out around her, she heard splashing of people getting thrown into the pool. She needed to find Scott or Stiles soon. She needed to get away from everyone beginning to crowd around her. "I can't swim! No, no, no." Someone yelled as they passed her. The person reached out grabbing on whoever they could. It was Matt and he looked desperate. She tried to grab onto him but he slipped from her grip. His finally reach for her connected with her necklace and it was ripped from her throat. "I can't swim!" And suddenly was in the pool, her necklace was thankfully dropped on the ground.

She tried to push past people to get to him but she couldn't breathe right, like someone punched her in the gut. She collapsed on her knees and looked over at the pool with blurry vision. Suddenly Jackson was in front of her, reaching down to pull the photographer from the water. The party grew quiet as everyone stared at Matt and Jackson. "What are you looking at?" He was beyond upset and he started his way out of the residence.

The sound of sirens in the distance could be heard. "Cops! Cops are here!" Someone yelled and everyone went into a frenzy. "Scott, Stiles." She called out in hopes her friends would find her and thankfully Stiles did. "Woah, what happened to you?" He asked as he knelt down next to her. "I'm not feeling very well." She stated. "Can you grab my necklace?" She pointed at it on the ground not far from him. He scooped the piece of jewelry up and then slid an arm around her to help her up. "Did you drink the punch?" Veda nodded her head. "Lydia insisted."

"Alright, let's get you to my house. We will lie to your parents and tell them that you're spending the night at Lydia's." He stated. "No, no lies." She stated. "Just take me home, please." She added. "Alright if you say so." The two of them walked out of the house and bumped right into Scott. "I just need to take Veda home and then I will meet you at my house. We can talk details there." Stiles announced as he got the girl into the Jeep. The two boys talked for a few moments outside of the car while she stared at the necklace in her hand. It was an easy fix but she was still saddened by it.

A/N: I know this chapter wasn't the best but I hope to update soon. I have been distracted by other shows and stories and books. =D
