Afraid he might have unknowingly committed a violent act, Scott embarks on a double date with Allison, Lydia and Jackson -- and receives shocking news from Derek and Chloe about his fateful bite.

Third Person POV

Chloe is sleeping in bed at The Hideout, Derek on the couch on the other side of the room, when a faint green glow can be seen through her eyelids. Her magic shows her an older man getting brutally attacked on a school bus. She sees large claws digging into his skin and dragging him to the back of the bus as he desperately clings to one of the seats with one hand, the other reaching up towards her for help. When she looks up to the attacker, she sees glowing red eyes before a bus seat is thrown in her direction. Before the seat can hit her, her eyes rip open and she sits up, gasping for air.

It takes her a minute for her senses to calm down before she realizes Derek is sitting on the edge of the bed next to her. "Chloe." He whispers softly, not wanting to scare her.

"Huh?" She mumbles, still slightly dazed by her vision.

"You okay?" He asks, worried.

"I'm fine." She lies with a nod, finally looking at him, "Just a bad dream." He gives her a tired but knowing look, not believing her. "I'm fine." She repeats, trying to be more believable. "Go back to sleep." She gives him a weak smile before laying back down.

The next day Scott and Stiles walk into the high school as they talk about a very similar dream Scott had, "So, you killed her?" Stiles asks.

Scott shrugs, "I don't know. I just woke up. And I was sweating like crazy, and I couldn't breathe. I've never had a dream where I woke up like that before."

"Really?" Stiles asks, raising an eyebrow, "I have. Usually ends a little differently..."

Scott shakes his head, "A: I mean I've never had a dream that felt that real, and..." He gives Stiles a disgusted look, "B: Never give me that much detail about you in bed again."

"Noted." Stiles sighs. "Let me take a guess here-"

Scott cuts him off, "No, I know- you think it has something to do with me going out with Allison tomorrow, like I'm gonna lose control and rip her throat out."

"No, of course not." Stiles tries to argue. Scott looks at him, knowing he's lying, "...Yeah, that's totally it." He gives in. "Hey, come on! It's gonna be fine, all right? Personally, I think you're handling this pretty freakin' amazingly. You know, it's not like there's a Lycanthropy for Beginners class you can take."

Scott raises an eyebrow to Stiles, slightly annoyed with his comment before getting an idea. "Yeah... not a class, but maybe a teacher... or two."

"Who, Derek and Chloe?!" Stiles yells, already knowing what Scott is thinking before smacking him on the back of the head, "You forgetting the part where we got them tossed in jail?"

"Yeah, I know..." Scott copies his tone, "...but chasing her, dragging her to the back of the bus... it felt so real."

"How real?" Stiles asks.

"Like it actually happened." Scott answers as they open the doors to go outside only to see an area where Sheriff's deputies have taped-off a crime scene around one of the buses. The back of the bus and the seats ripped apart and covered in blood.

"...I think it did." Stiles says in shock as they both look at the crime scene horrified.

At The Hideout Chloe is getting ready to leave, wanting to see if her vision was actually a vision or just a nightmare, "Der, have you seen the keys to my motorcycle?" She asks, her voice loud enough to cover the whole building.
