Stiles and I trained for hours on the rooftop of my apartment. I started off with showing him some basic tricks on how to work with a knife and explained what location the stab can kill, and which wouldn't. The sun was starting to set and I could tell that Stiles was exhausted too. He was breathing heavily and his movements got slower with every minute that passed.

"Need a Break?", I giggled and plopped down on the concrete floor of the rooftop.

"Yeah", he nodded and sat down next to me,"Thanks for helping me".

"I'd do anything", I answered. When I realized, what I just said, I laid down on my back to avoid looking at Stiles.

I looked up to the sky, that was slowly getting darker, making the stars appear.

"We need to find out, where the hit list is coming from", Stiles exhaled as he laid down too,"It has to be somewhat of a server".

I hummed agreeing:"Hm I know".

"But not now", Stiles added and went silent, staring at the sky.

"Would you be okay with turning into a vampire?", I asked after some time,"Incase you're almost dying again. I don't want to hesitate next time".

"I'd love to not be human", he answered and turned his head to look at me. I faced him too and smiled:"Great".

"What's it like to be a vampire?", Stiles questioned,"Just in case I would turn sometime".

"It's the best and worst you can get in life. Trapped to live forever, either feeling everything so strong, you can't stop thinking about it, or you feel nothing at all", I explained.

"Would you change it? If you had the choice to say you're not a vampire anymore, would you do it?", Stiles said with a soft voice,"With everything that you've learned till now".

"I wouldn't change a thing", I answered immediately. I've always liked being supernatural and a vampire even more. Only when I'm in a bad place, then I would rather be a human, because then I had the opportunity to just die and give up. But I guess fighting is always better, because then you have the opportunity to win, no matter how big or small it is. And honestly looking at Stiles smile right now, I guess I won.

"Really?", he asked somehow surprised.

"Yes", I answered and smiled at Stiles,"Because I'm happy again as if I'm whole. As if this life in Beacon Hills is where I'm supposed to be and the last years it was just wrong time, wrong place, but that made me who I am".

Stiles went completely silent and I could tell that he was thinking about something by the way his forehead frowned a tiny bit.

"What?", I asked with a soft voice.

"And I happen to be in love with who you are", Stiles finally answered, making me sit up again.

"Why?", I asked,"How could someone like you love someone like me? I'm either a monster or a broken girl and you're the greatest human I've ever met".

"You aren't a monster Jolene", he sat up too, taking both of my hands into his,"You're broken and your past made you turn into a fighter. It had to. You always keep surviving which is breathtaking for me. You're a survivor not a monster".

"But still broken", I said with a sad smile on my lips. I wasn't perfect, I was far away from that for sure. Still Stiles looked at me and talked about me like I was perfect in some beautiful, twisted way.

"You have a way with your brokenness, where you seem to take the pieces and make them beautiful", Stiles explained with a shimmer in his eyes. He was so eagered to convince me, that Stiles stood up and pulled me back on my feet.

"I think you're perfect", Stiles whispered and his hand carefully caressed my cheek.

That when I realized that he was the perfect one. Everything that Stiles told me tonight, made me love myself, made me feel better. But I didn't know what to answer. I was held up by staring into his beautiful eyes.

Then warm rain drops fell from the sky and wet our clothes. Just when one drop of water fell on the tip of my nose, the realization hit me.

"I know where the server of the hit list is!".

After we quickly headed to my car and I drove, I started to explain everything to Stiles, who was eagered to find out:"So remember in the Martin lake house there was this humming sound as if a computer was working".

"That's it!", Stiles shouted happily, without me needing to explain anymore and he immediately called Scott, so we all would meet up at the Martin Lake house.

When we arrived, Scott, Liam, Lydia and Malia were already there. They arrived a few seconds earlier. We quickly headed into the house and I tried to follow the humming sound. Scott was the first one to hear it too.

After a few moments, when everyone else had to hold their breath, Scott and I stood in front of the wall with our ears pressed against it. Liam and Malia finally heard it too.

"Here it is", I said turning around to Lydia,"Behind this wall".

"Destroy it if you have to", she nodded with a slight smile. Lydia didn't need to tell us twice. Scott punched his first through the wall, which turned out to be very thin, making it easy for us to break apart.

When we had a big hole in the white wall, everyone could see the computer set up behind it. Stiles stepped forward, now standing between me and Scott, examining it.

"Can you...like hack it or something?", I asked unsure.

Stiles nodded and started to type something in the keyboard, but after some time we realized it didn't work.

"Can't we just blow this thing up?", Malia asked annoyed.

"No. If we would just destroy it, the hit list would stay in the internet. We need a password to take it down", Stiles answered as he faced me again.

I frowned my head and looked over to Lydia:"Do you have any idea?".

She shook her head:"I guess we have to search". With that said, everyone of us started to examine every single piece of the cabin, without any success in finding the password.

Meanwhile I sat down on the cold floor, focusing on the presence of the password. I could feel Malias death stares on my skin, but ignored them perfectly. They should crawl in the dusty corners of the House, I'd rather use my magic and not get dirty.

Just when I could feel something, something different that could maybe be the password, Malia grabbed me at my shoulders and pulled me back. I hit my head against a wall fueling my anger, making my Hybrid face show.

"Do you have a death wish?", I hissed intimidatingly.

"At least I'm doing something useful! I don't just sit there and do nothing!", Malia shouted in my face, making the pack quickly go to us.

Scott tried to calm his beta down:"Malia stop it. Jolene already found the server".

"And I also found the password", I snapped back,"But someone interrupted my spell".

Malias eyes widened. She didn't think about me doing a spell. She was just angry and mostly jealous, because Malia and everyone of the pack could smell Stiles scent on me.

"What?", Scott jumped up,"Where is it?".

I faced Malia again, who was still pushing me against the wall with her claws on my skin. I was angry. More than angry actually. I was happy with Stiles and he was with me. There was no point for her to ruin this mission of destroying the server.

I opened my mouth, letting my vampire fangs show and within seconds Malia flinched and quickly let go of me. But I wasn't finished, no, I didn't even start. For every step she took backwards, I stepped two forward, making me stand right in front of her.

I could see the fright in her eyes and the fading color in her cheek. We both knew that she went too far. The whole pack knew by now. Just when I was about to erase any life out of her body, Scott stepped between us.

Before I was able to push the alpha out of my way, Stiles stood next to my and caught my gaze. When I saw his face, I relaxed again and my Hybrid face was gone. I was back to my human form.

"Thanks", I whispered to Stiles, then turned to Malia,"Next time you're done". I didn't really want to kill Malia. There wasn't any fun in that, mostly because she's apart of the pack and not even human, making her blood taste like trash. In the end I was glad that Stiles and Scott stopped me.

With vampire speed I stood in front of the wine stand and grabbed a really old bottle. It wasn't even dusty like the other ones, telling me that someone had already touched it.

"Anybody want some wine?", I smirked when I appeared back in the room, where the rest of the pack was,"The password is in here".

"I usually like to drink a glass of wine, but not today", Lydia smiled devilish as she walked towards me, grabbed the bottle and threw it on the floor, making the glass shatter into pieces.

"I would've drank it too", Liam joked, receiving a bad look from Stiles and Scott. They always reminded me of a small little family.

"There it is", Stiles said as he picked up a small metal plate, which was on the floor between the pieces of shattered glass. Then the human walked over to the computer again.

"How did you know?", Scott asked me as we all stood behind Stiles, waiting for him to take down the hit list.

"I'm a witch. I can sense different energy's", I replied quickly. Then everyone went quiet after Stiles hit enter. Only a few seconds after that, Stiles jumped up from his stool, turned around and gave me a kiss on the cheek because of his extrem excitement. I couldn't help but blush.

"We've made it!", we all screamed and shouted, jumping up and down in the old cabin. Now there was no one wanting to hunt us down for money or anything else. We could live free.

But like usual, I wasn't expecting the worst, which I should start doing in Beacon Hills. Because every time we think we made it, another person wants to destroy the pack.

I realized it, when Allison called Lydia and told her crying:"You need to get away from the Martin lake house. She's coming for you. I-I didn't know that she would do that. I'm so sorry".

"Who's coming for us?", Lydia asked confused and scared at the same time.

"Kate Argent", Stiles answered, making all of us turn around and look at him. He was staring out of the window and probably already saw something, we didn't know.

"Another hunter?", I rolled my eyes, but no one answered me. Everyone seemed to be too shocked.

And when I saw Stiles step out of the Martin lake house, into the front yard, I quickly followed. I couldn't let anything happen to Stiles.

I heard a gun shot and ran.
