Chapter 6

Chris felt a shiver down his spine as he heard Scott's words. He handed the phone to Allison. "Scott?" she said "What did you find out?" She was waiting for the bomb to drop. "Matt, your stalker, is the master of Kanima. He is the one who killed the wife who the Kanima did not kill." Scott said. He had a cold and angered voice. Chris was looking pale. He was shocked that a 16-year old boy could to so much with the help of a vicious killer. "That was not the work of a boy. It was done by a psychopath who could do anything he wanted with the help of the beast he was controlling." A hunter's voice echoed inside his head as the word psychopath flashed in his head while he thought what his father could do with that kind of control over the beast. Allison was flashing back to time Matt was trying to hit on her, "I am not the kind of person who says 'If I can't have you, no one can.' I just thought you wouldn't mind since you were not with Scott anymore. I am sorry about it." He had said to her after the rave, when she had dropped him to his home. Both of them were shaken by this revelation, but they knew that he was a suspect. They calmed themselves down. They had to go through a lot starting tomorrow morning. They had to go through another funeral in the matter of months. Allison fell asleep in Chris' arms and Chris relaxed on the bench. He held his daughter tightly. He had not been this close to her after that day at the ravine, when he caught her with Scott. He was happy that he was getting close to his daughter again and it was all because of a werewolf. After sometime, he fell asleep on the bench beside her.

Scott and Stiles had just given their statement to the cops. They had been there. Matt was taken to the car of a cop since he was in trauma. He had fallen in the swimming pool and had almost drowned until Jackson saved him. As both of them walked out of the house, they saw Matt staring at them, dripping and with a tail wrapped around his leg. He was looking extremely angry. There was a Kanima on all fours right beside him, as if it was protecting him. As Scott and Stiles turned to see each other and then back at him, he was gone with the Kanima trailing behind him. That was all the confirmation, if any required after what they saw at the party, they needed. They got to Hale house as soon as they could after the interrogation at Lydia's house. As they got in, they saw Derek unconscious on the floor, and Peter standing in a hole dug up on the floor. They saw a complex arrangement of mirrors throwing moonlight right into the hole where Peter stood. Scott and Peter glared at each other. None of them liked Peter. Lydia looked on at the stunned faces of Scott and Stiles. Stiles looked at her. He could feel that she did not know what she was doing. He consoled a sobbing Lydia and got her out of the house while the Scott tried to wake Derek up. During all of this Peter looked at Scott and felt proud, "He is my Beta after-all." He thought as his chest puffed and he realised that he was standing there naked. He got out of the hole he stood in and went inside the burned house to look for something. He came after a moment to find Derek on his feet, still weak from Peter's resurrection, with his claws and fangs out, eyes glowing red and Scott beside him in much similar fashion. He was dressed in Black shirt and a black pant that he had hidden in the house after he got out of coma, as he explained. He explained to them that he has become very weak and he needs a pack and an alpha, "I don't want to be an alpha since I it resulted in my death the last time I tried it. I want an alpha like Derek. And a pack member as strong as you Scott. I think it is about time I told you why I chose you to be in my pack. First, I was looking for anyone who I stumbled upon to be a member of my pack. But then, I saw you and you looked strong. I could sense it from very far. I knew you would make an excellent werewolf. A strong and fearless one at it. All of us need each other. Derek is my family but you Scott, you are my pack sibling, considering I lost my alpha status after my death." He gave a nice little speech which didn't Phase through either of their minds.

He began again, "Let's talk about this." Placing his one hand on Derek's shoulder and other on Scott's. "Yeah. Let's talk." Derek said in a cold voice as he threw Peter back into the hole where he had been buried. Peter crawled out with blood flowing through his mouth. Scott picked him up and started punching him, pinning him down to the ground, "You bastard! You ruined my life." He said while beating him bloody. As Derek stopped him, he noticed that Peter was not healing. "Don't trust this psychopath. He will only use us. He wants power that's it." A voice said in his head. But Peter was his last remaining family if he considered his thoughts. He could not just leave him like that even if he was a psycho. "Why aren't you healing?" he questioned. "That's what I meant when I said I needed a pack. Coming back from dead isn't easy. It has left my abilities impaired, quite severely I must say. Now would you guys listen to me or do you want to continue the Thunderdome fight with me, since I will be no match for even one of you." He said trying to check his own humour. Both of them calmed down enough to listen to Peter. "There is still a lot I can teach you Derek. And way more to you Scott. I may not be up to the fighting speed but I can make sure that we stand a chance against the Argents when they come. I am here to help you guys." Peter offered. Realizing Peter didn't know anything about what was going on in the town, Scott decided to fill him in. "Great. So I am out of commission for a few weeks and suddenly there's lizard people, geriatric psychopaths and you are cooking up werewolves out of every self-esteem-deprived adolescent in town. That's just how we do it nephew. That's just how we do it." He said with sarcasm clear in his voice. He was then shocked to hear that Derek and Scott were working with the Argents. "So you are now working with the family that killed our family and tried to kill both us. Great. Anything else you want to tell me to get me to think if my decision to revive myself was good." He said looking at Derek. "It was Kate who burned our family. Chris might have been involved with hunting us but he did nothing to our family. He is helping us deal with it and I take that for now. Other stuff can be dealt with later on." Derek replied still not complying to include Peter in their plan. Peter hesitated to agree but knowing that he was outnumbered, he complied. They finished the discussion and Peter revealed that he knows of a way to save Jackson. He stood up and walked towards the stairs. From under the stairs, he produced a box. "What is that, a book?" Derek asked. "No, a laptop. What century are you living in?" Peter replied sarcastically. "This is the only thing that can help save Jackson. Only if we could get Lydia to help us though." Peter said. As he said this, Stiles and Lydia walked in. Lydia was crying and Stiles trying to console her. "I just got this message from my dad. He said that the cops found Matt and Jackson dead near the lake." He said.

Matt was running through the woods, dripping from water. The Kanima trailed behind him. He stopped near the lake and saw Gerard standing there. "What are you doing here? I told you I will tell you when I plan to set the things in motion. He needs more power. I need to get Allison first." Matt said as he saw Gerard looking at the lake. "Are you even listening to me?" As he said this, Gerard turned and pushed him into the lake. "The deal is off boy. I need his power right now. I cannot wait for your teen romance to bloom." He said this while holding him inside water. Matt was choking as he tried to call the Kanima, which was sitting in the shadows forward. He choked to death while the Kanima watched as Gerard killed him to gain control of the Kanima. He turned to the Kanima and called it forward. As the Kanima stepped out of the shadows, he started turning into his half-kanima form. He walked towards Gerard and looked for a moment. Then he started stabbing himself. In seconds, he was covered in blood and stab wounds. Gerard gave a sinister smile and walked away.

As the day broke, the Argents prepared for the funeral. Scott showed up at the funeral and Gerard was stunned to see him there. He strode over to Scott and asked, "What are you doing here? I thought you had no relationship with my Granddaughter." He said. "I don't. But I told you that I still cared for her very much and I could not watch her like this. I am here to offer my condolences to Allison and Mr. Argent." He replied and he walked off to stand beside Chris. As Chris saw him, he knew exactly why he was there. He was there to distract Gerard, so that Victoria can escape easily. Also because of what had happened to Matt and Jackson. Jackson's body was in the hospital for examination and Matt's was in the morgue. Chris knew that Gerard had killed Matt to gain control of the Kanima but what he didn't understand was that how Gerard knew that Matt was the master of Kanima. "Thank you for being here. I know you are wondering how Gerard knew that Matt was the master of Kanima. I hadn't talked to him after you relayed the information to me. Trust me I am as much in the dark as you are. We have to be careful now. He is the one to control the Kanima now. What Matt did was nothing compared to what Gerard can do with it." Chris said in such a voice so that only Scott and Allison, both of whom were standing beside him, could hear what he said. Scott and Allison nodded. As they ended the funeral, Allison and Chris went to their house and Scott went to Derek's lair to see if the training had started. Chris had told him that he and Allison will join them once they have taken care of the situation at their house. Scott saw that Derek had already started training his pack and Stiles and Peter were there with him. He saw Isaac, Victoria and Erica were down on the ground and Boyd was trying to indulge in a combat with Derek but he was easily evading every attack the well-built wolf was throwing at his alpha. Derek dodged another attack from Boyd and Boyd's claws got stuck in the abandoned trailer that was right behind him. As he turned to try another attack, surprisingly he lifted the whole trailer and was shocked that he did not have to use any extra strength to lift it up. Derek was stunned and seemed happy as Boyd put the trailer back in its place and was shocked that he did not feel any fatigued state due to his strength. Everyone was shocked to see the newly turned wolf lifting so much weight with that much ease. Isaac immediately got up and tried lifting the trailer unsuccessfully.

"It won't work for you. It was Boyd's natural strength that helped him do what he did. Don't try that or you'll break your hand." Derek said "There is one thing that Victoria might know about werewolves but none of you might. All werewolves have a special ability depending on their natural strengths. I was far quicker than any other werewolf in my family except for my mother. Peter is a far better tactician than any of us. He could win even in the worst possible situations. That is what makes him more cunning than any of us as well. These abilities manifest in time or in dire situations like the one Boyd was in. I was about to attack and he had his claws stuck in the trailer. You will all manifest your own abilities in time which will be unique to you." Derek said this as Scott heard and wondered, "I wonder if Chris knew about it? What ability would I manifest?" His thought train ended as he saw Peter looking at him curiously. He wondered if Peter knows what ability he would manifest as he was the one to him. As he thought this, he saw Peter smiling at him. His look was sinister as if he was plotting something. Scott felt uncomfortable at this but shrugged it as he strode towards the others to practice.
