Katherine sighed deeply as she collapsed onto one of the only seats Derek had in the train station. It was early in the morning and she had just finished getting ready for school. Not only had she been training non-stop to help get better control but she had also been having to go to high school as usual.
"Look I just don't understand why we need Scott's help in defeating the Kanima?" She heard Isaac ask as she and Derek entered the clearing.
"It's a lot harder to kill than I thought. I'm still not even sure who it is" Derek replied.
"Oh c'mon it's so obviously Jackson!" Katherine exclaimed, walking behind the two.
"We don't know that for sure. Jackson past the test remember?" Derek sighed.
"Okay forget about the Kanima for a minute. Shouldn't we be a little more worried about the full moon that's coming up soon!" Isaac explained.
"No, this is more important" Derek told them both, opening a case with chains and metal collars.
"Anyway, we'll have the full moon covered" Derek continued, showing them one of the metal collars.
"So the plan is to chain us all up? What happens if the Argents decide to attack? You'll be outnumbered" Katherine said, worried.
"Don't worry, I can look after myself. Besides there is something going on with the Kanima and Gerard, the way he looked at it..." Derek trailed off.
"Okay, so in the mean time, what are we going to do?" Katherine questioned.
"You're going to go to school and get the information on the Kanima from Stiles or Scott" Derek informed.
"Alright I'll go find Stiles" Katherine told them both, walking away.
Katherine was hurriedly rushing down the school's hallway looking for Stiles when a hand stopped her.
"Hey, Katherine isn't it? You're Allison's friend? Have you seen her?" You realised it was Matt who had asked you.
You didn't know why but for some reason he really made your skin crawl. There was something about his eyes...they were creepy as hell.
"No" Is all she simply said, trying to walk away from him.
"No? To which part?" He questioned.
"Why do you care so much?" She asked him.
"Uh...well...I just wanted to I don't know...maybe ask her to this rave that's happening soon..." He trailed off, blushing.
"Yeah? Well I hope you two creeps are very happy together" Katherine replied, pushing him out of her way.
She knew it was mean of her to treat him that way, but she couldn't stand even breathing the same air as him for another minute. She soon picked up Stiles scent and saw him talking to Lydia. She heard Stiles asking her about Jackson's parents but she wouldn't tell him anything and walked off.
"Why the sudden interest in Jackson's parents Stiles?" Katherine questioned, coming up from behind him and pulling on his shirt.
"Jesus...don't do that! And do you really want those claws on camera?" Stiles shouted.
Katherine looked behind her and saw the camera and quickly retracted her claws.
"You want to play Catwoman? I'll be your Batman" He smirked.
Katherine let go of his shirt and he quickly pulled away and started to run off.
"If you're looking for Jackson's parents then I can tell you where to find them" Katherine smirked, as Stiles turned around and walked towards her.
"What? Where?" Stiles asked.
"In the Beacon Hills Cemetery" She explained.
"Oh my God..." Stiles gasped, realising something.
"It's him isn't it?" She said, walking up to him.
"Uh..." Stiles trailed off.
"Jackson's the Kanima" She replied, smirking.
"Please don't tell Derek!" Stiles begged her as he ran after her.
"Why shouldn't I?" She questioned, walking towards the locker room.
"There is more to this than you know..." Stiles trailed off.
"Well tell me what I don't know" Katherine retorted.
"I...what the hell?" Stiles questioned, looking at the puddle on the floor coming from the locker room.
Suddenly Jackson and Scott burst out of it and started to attack each other. Katherine quickly pulled Jackson away as Stiles did the same with Scott.
"What the hell is going on?" Mr Harris asked you all.
"Uh, I think you dropped this" Matt interrupted, handing over the IPad which Mr Harris snatched away.
"You and you...no all of you, detention at three" Mr Harris announced.
"Great" Katherine sighed, letting go of Jackson.
After school all six of them trailed into the library after Mr Harris.
"I having a restraining order over these tools" Jackson informed Mr Harris as he pointed to Stiles and Scott.
"Alright, McCall, Stilinski, over there" Mr Harris ordered them.
Katherine sat next to Jackson, with Matt and Allison opposite. This was the closest she had been to Allison after Allison had shot her and she was having a hard time keeping her anger in control. Abruptly, Jacksons started to wince in pain and held his head and stood up.
"Sir, can I be excused?" He asked Mr Harris who nodded.
"Jackson, are you alright?" Katherine questioned him, worried about her friend.
"Katherine, go back to your seat...Jackson come with me" Mr Harris told them and walked out of the Library with Jackson following.
Katherine sat down at the other table not wanting to sit with Allison and Matt. Stiles and Scott quickly ran over to her table.
"Stiles said you knew that Jackson's parents are dead. How?" Scott questioned you.
"I'm pretty much his best friend, apart from Danny. His parents died in a car crash when he was young...I'll look it up on the police files" Katherine stated.
"What? How are you going to do that?" Stiles asked her.
"I'm pretty good with computers if you hadn't noticed Stiles...Ah, here we are" She announced, scrolling down to look at more information to do with the car crash.
"Gordon and Margaret Miller died in a single car crash on June 14, 1995. It's says that the skid patterns suggest that the car swerved and the driver lost control. Both of them were DOA at Beacon Hills Hospital...That's weird..." Katherine trailed off.
"What?" Stiles questioned her.
"Jackson's birthday, it's on June 15" She replied, with a frown.
An hour later they were all re-shelving books and Katherine could overhear Stiles, Scott and Allison's conversation. They were talking about how Jackson was delivered by C-section and how it would all fall in line with the Kanima myth. Katherine looked to her left to see Jackson looking oddly at a book.
"Hey, are you sure you're alright?" Katherine asked him, touching his shoulder.
"Uh...yeah...I'll just go put this book away" Jackson replied, walking down another aisle.
Soon after she saw Scott walk past her and saw how he stopped suddenly with a horrified look on his face. She ran over to him to see Matt on the ground, with his neck cut. Suddenly the Kanima jumped around from above them, breaking some of the lights and disorientating them. Scott pulled Allison and Stiles closer to him and Katherine looked around frantically trying to see the Kanima. Suddenly she felt a sharp pain on the back of her neck and realised that she had been paralyzed and fell to the floor. She felt her whole body start to shake and couldn't control it. She spotted Stiles out of the corner of her eye and saw him rush over to her.
"Guys I think she's having some sort of fit" He explained.
"Matt's alive" Allison told them from the other aisle.
"Okay we need to get Katherine to a hospital-" Stiles was cut off by Katherine.
"To Derek. Only to Derek" She insisted, still shaking.
She saw Scott run over to Allison to say goodbye and felt him pick her up.
Soon they were at the abandoned train station and Scott was running with her into the building. Derek was running towards them, obviously realising something was wrong.
"What happened?" He shouted, thinking that Scott had injured her.
"It was the Kanima, it paralyzed her and she started having a fit" Scott explained.
"I don't get it...last time she got paralyzed she was fine..." Stiles trailed off.
"Something must have changed now she's a werewolf" Derek told them, picking Katherine up from Scott's grasp and ran over to one of the carriages and laid her down.
"Hold her up" Derek ordered Stiles.
He quickly did so, pulling some hair from her face.
"Is she going to be okay?" Scott questioned, worried.
"...I don't know...I...I need to start up the healing process" He explained.
"How're you going to do that?" Stiles asked.
"I'm sorry" Derek said to Katherine as he twisted her arm, breaking it.
Katherine cried out in pain as she felt her bones breaking.
"What are you doing?" Stiles cried, pulling Katherine tighter to him.
"I need to get the venom out. This is the only way" He informed them, cutting into Katherine's arm.
She screamed out in pain again as Derek wringed out her arm, the pain slowly started to subside.
"...Stiles...you make a good batman..." She trailed off, starting to lose consciousness.
Derek looked up to see Stiles staring at Katherine with an adoring look on his face. Derek practically growled, not liking how close they were both getting.
Soon after Katherine had fallen asleep and Stiles was cradling her in his arms, Derek walked out of the carriage angrily, with Scott following behind him.
"You knew it was Jackson didn't you? You just wanted Katherine to confirm it?" Scott realised as Derek sat down.
"Yes..." Derek replied, with a sad look in his eyes.
"...It's my fault..." Derek trailed off, upset.
"What's your fault?" Scott asked him, confused.
"I shouldn't have sent her to get more information...it's my fault" Derek continued, looking guilty.
Scott started to realise that Derek really did care about his pack, especially Katherine.
"I'm going to join your pack...but on one condition, we don't kill Jackson, we save him" Scott insisted.
"And?..." Derek questioned a look of hope on his face.
"And we're going to do it my way" Scott stated confidently.
Author's Note: The next few chapters are going to have a lot more Katherine/Derek so don't worry! Also sorry for the Allison bashing in this chapter, but I really don't agree with lots of the decisions she made in season 2, even though I do love her character, and I think Katherine has a right to be angry at her. Next chapter is going to be based on 2x08:)
