She just stood there not saying anything whether it was out of fear or shock I still don't know but nevertheless I needed to snap her out of it as although it was Jamie she was seeing her dead dad. Me on the other hand was in shock at how many dirty tactics they were planning to play before they eventually got bored as they could see that neither of were interested.

"Alexis what is he saying?"

"That he wants me to go with him."

"You can't do that."

"Why Scott it's my dad?"

"Your dad is dead, remember?"

"He isn't dead Scott."

"Yes he is Alexis."

"No he's there."

"No that's Jamie."

"Scott you're not listening to me it's my dad and he wants me to go with him."

"I am listening Alexis but you are seeing things that aren't real."

"I know what I'm seeing Scott I'm not crazy."

"I'm not saying that they're in your head."

"I have to go with him Scott."

"No you don't."

"Yes I do just let me go and see my dad."

As she started to walk towards her dead dad well Jamie I automatically grabbed her arm to restrain her and pull her back and as I was stronger than her she didn't bother struggling at first but when she could see that I wasn't going to let go she let out her claws and tried to swipe at me as I ducked out of the way I could see I needed a little back up. As I was looking at the others for some help they were all on the floor not moving, they were paralysed. The kanima was here.

There were only so many places they could hide as we chose a nice open area in the middle of the woods so where was he? The trees were empty and the ground had no foot prints or well webbed feet marks. As a pile of leaves in the outskirts of the area was blown all over the place I darted my head round to see if they were there.

As I scoured round looking for it knowing how quickly it moved I was still trying to hold down Alexis but as a sharp pain cut across the back of my neck I knew that the kanima had cut me and as I fell to the floor I lost the grip I had on Alexis' arm and as she ran towards her dad I felt Hannah kneel down beside me smirking.

"Just let her go Scott."

"No you won't win as don't you need both of us for your sinister plan?"

"Yes but it is only a matter of time before you join us."

"You have nothing on me though, no idea what my weakness is so good luck and I will get her back trust me."

"Oh you are so naive Scott."

"Really I prefer optimistic as I know her better than you do."

"Believe me you don't as you've known her all of two minutes and we've done our research Scott so we have the leverage."

"I will get her back."

"Not without reasoning as either way we will get what we want Scott."

If I wanted her back I had to be clever about it and this when my pack would come in handy as I knew Ethan and Aiden were in all of her classes and they could get to her as if I tried they would force me to join them and kill even more people so I would use my pack to get to her, to make her think that something was wrong that she was needed with me and not with them because I love her.

As the weekend passed and school came around I decided the best thing to do was to well bunk as if they saw me at school they would know I was up to something so I left it to the brains of the pack Stiles. Instead I was left with Derek and his psychotic uncle who I still didn't trust as he was up to something I could feel it.

"Why aren't you at school Scott?"

"Staying out of their way."

"Well they have Alexis."

"I know."

"So why aren't you doing anything?"

"Well if I try something myself they would reason with me so I decided to let the others have a go first and I will be last resort."

"You're going to get the twins, Isaac and Stiles to bring her back nice one."

"Enough of the sarcasm Derek I know what I'm doing."

"No I trust you just not Stiles."

"I can see that."

Peter on the other hand just sat there and giggled at the thought I am leaving Alexis' welfare in Stiles' hands. I understand why he was as when it comes to plans Stiles' didn't always work but this was my plan and they all just had to carry it out.

"What's so funny Peter?"

"Well just the fact that Stiles a bumbling idiot is in charge of the plan."

"Actually it's my plan and all they have to do is carry it out."

"But they will screw it up Scott you know that so why don't you go?"

"No, Peter my plans often work don't they?"

"He has got a point Peter." Derek butted in.

"There is always a first though."

"Well remain optimistic Peter." I said

"Yes, well Scott you live in black and white whilst me and Derek live in shades of grey so if you want to be the hero all the time good for you but you can't save everyone."

"I can try though Peter."

"Well that is very naive of you then Scott."

"Why does everyone keep saying that?"

"You aren't Scott it's just that acting the saviour without all the information but I do have faith in your plans though Scott so Alexis should be back anytime soon."

"Thank you Derek, Peter you just need to well have more hope."

Peter just laughed at the thought but deep in his eyes you could see the consideration of having more faith in well me, my plans and himself as he was capable of more than he thought but I didn't want him to know that as there was something in his eyes that seemed like he was up to something.

Alexis' point of view:

It was weird that I couldn't find Scott anywhere. Why wasn't he here as I thought he would be trying to get me back as I knew it was Jamie after it all but they had found a way to get into my head and I needed to get out of here and find him.

As I walked down the corridor I already knew that Jamie and Hannah weren't at school as they were doing some research in order to get to Scott so it was just me and although Scott wasn't here I felt safe as I knew the rest of the pack was there for protection.

Turning round the corner someone grabbed my arm, I was ready to fight back but I realised I couldn't get my claws out in school especially with everything going on and as I turned to see who it was and it was Ethan. I didn't really talk to Ethan that much as he spent a lot of his time with Danny but out of the twins he was the least arrogant as Aiden was a bit no very self conceited. Ethan on the other hand although he probably wouldn't admit he did like to help people which is why he was probably the first person to carry out Scott's plan.

"You need to come back."

"I know."

"As Scott seriously, wait what do you mean you know?"

"I know they got into my head and that Scott was right that it was Jamie all along and I need to get out and back to Scott as the pack is doing some research on Scott to find a weakness."

"Well he is at home and to be honest if I didn't get you back then Aiden would try and then Isaac and then Stiles."

"Stiles what could he do?"

"Why do you think he was last resort?"

"Probably a wise choice."

"Scott is expecting you back at his though so I would get there quickly and without being noticed."

"Well I better get going then if he's expecting me."

"Good and be quick as something tells me that trouble is not too far away."

I quickly left the school and headed towards Scott's hoping that no one would see me especially Hannah and Jamie as if they did I would be in a lot of trouble. As I stood in front of Scott's door I couldn't go in no matter how much I wanted to go in.

Scott's point of view:

She was outside, but what was she waiting for? As I opened the door and stood out on the porch she ran up to me with open arms and gave me a hug and then planted her lips on to mine and I was so happy and thankful that she was back but hopefully she was here to stay.

As she pulled away she smiled and grabbed hold of my hand a dragged me inside but before I let her kiss me again I needed some answers. No matter how much I wanted to carry on kissing her I couldn't. Although she was different to Allison I needed different especially with everything going on I see different as good.

"So you're back?"

"Yes."

"For good?"

"It looks that way as you were right they got into my head as I know my dad is dead but it was just seeing him that I wanted to believe it but we need to get out of here as they are researching on what your weakness is."

"I think they show you what you want to see."

"I was thinking of my dad so that's why I saw him."

"Well all you have to do is have a clear mind all the time as that way they have nothing to get at."

"But that doesn't stop them from finding your weakness so we need to leave now."

"It doesn't matter as if we run they will found us so we stay and take everything they throw at us and to be honest I don't have a weakness that would be leverage to them."

"But what if staying gets us killed."

"Then we die for something meaningful and fight while trying."

"If that's what you want?"

"It is as there is no point running away from trouble."

"Why though as I don't want to die."

"Neither do I but I don't want to join them either."

"But they want us to join them so what do we do?"

"Go to school, do homework, go out with our friends and be in love with each other so just act normal."

"Normal?"

"Yes that's what I normally do pretend nothing is wrong."

"Right but I don't think they will allow that to happen."

"Why is that?"

"They're standing right outside."
