Idk, about you but I felt like Abomination was so God awful long. Like seriously the rough drafts were legit eight pages long for both parts. Usually the second part is half that, but not this time. Oh well, I wouldn't be surprised if Venomous becomes the same way. Enjoy!
Ever since Jackson had the short lived moment of super human strength with the truck, he had begun pushing his supernatural abilities. Only they weren't exactly right. He and Danny were in the locker room, while Jackson bench pressed and Danny spotted him.
"More." Jackson instructed Danny. Danny wasn't so sure about how much he should actually let Jackson press, but it has been awhile since they hung out and so against his better judgment Danny added more weight. Only this time Jackson began to struggle and Danny reached the weights to help.
"No, I said don't help me!" Jackson told him. Danny gave him the 'what the hell' gesture.
"Don't help you as in don't spot you, or don't help you as in let the bar crush your throat?" Danny questioned him. He still reached the bar and helped him set back on the bench.
"I should be able to do twice that." He sighed as he sat up from the bench.
"On the full moon maybe. I'm hitting the shower." Danny told him as he left, "If I come back and you're lying dead underneath a pile of weight, I'm taking the porsche." Danny told him with a smile.
Jackson attempted once more to lift the weights. Under the strain of them, his senses began to heighten and he was struggling even more. He could feel the bar crushing against his throat. He thought for sure he was going to die, but suddenly the bar was gone and he could breathe again. "Thanks." He chocked.
"Any time." He noticed that it was Erica, who had saved his life. But shortly after, Jackson found himself being manhandled by her into Derek's lair. He saw Derek with a smug look on his face.
"What happened to you on the night of the full moon?" Derek asked him. Erica still had a tight grip on Jackson so he couldn't get away, but he didn't like how he outnumbered.
"What? Nothing. Nothing happened."
"You're lying." Derek replied. Jackson noticed the 'I'm going to kill you' look on Derek's face.
"No, I'm not and I can prove it. I taped myself." Jackson countered. This caught the attention of Jackson's former classmate Isaac.
"You taped yourself?" Isaac asked, he wasn't sure what he found so disturbing about that.
"Yes. It was the full moon. I was preparing for the so called gift your big bad here Alpha promised me, and what did I get? Nothing. You want proof? Let me get the video." Jackson claimed.
Derek stood up and walked over to Jackson. He had a vile in his hand. "No. No, I have a better idea." Derek told him. Both Isaac and Erica held Jackson down as Derek forced Jackson to ingest the Kanima venom. Jackson could feel his body go numb.
"What did you do to me?" Jackson managed to ask. Derek had a look of displeasure on his face. He was for sure thought that Jackson was the kanima, but it looked like the venom worked on him.
"There's this snake like creature going around killing people and Jackson you've always been kind of a snake and everyone knows that a snake can't be harmed by its own venom. But looks like it's working on you just fine. You're still a snake just not the one we're looking for." Derek told him. Isaac leaned beside Jackson's body.
"You're still gonna have to do one more thing for us. Well, actually, for me." Isaac told him.
Stiles quickly rushed her way into the classroom to tell Scott about the news she had found out. "Dude, I just talked to my dad, who just talked to Jackson, and I've got the worst news ever." Stiles began. Scott leaned in her direction and looked at the person who was sitting diagonally from them.
"I think I already know." Scott told her. In front of them sat Isaac Lahey and from behind they couldn't tell that he had a smirk on his face.
It wasn't until later that Stiles managed to tell Scott about what she had found out about the kanima.
"All right, I only found one thing online called a kanima. It's a were-jaguar from South America that goes after murderers." She told him as they leaned against the lockers.
"That thing was not a jaguar." Scott told her.
"Yeah, and I'm not exactly a murderer." She countered.
"Yeah, but you did see it kill somebody, which is probably why it tried to kill you. And it's still trying to kill you, and it probably won't stop until you're dead." Scott told her. Stiles gave him a look of distress.
"You know really know how to make me feel better." She told him with her usual snide remark. Scott gave her a weak smile. "Sometimes I really begin to question this "friendship.""
As Scott and Stiles walked by them Danny and Jackson were talking. Danny told Jackson about how he found a software that could help recover the lost footage on the camera. It was when Jackson's hearing enhanced again and he overheard Erica and Isaac talking about the kanima. They're talking about testing with the venom during chemistry class. Isaac seemed that want to killed Landon but Erica reminded him that he needed to be tested first.
They were now in Coach Finstock class when Jackson approached Stiles and Scott with a question. "Hey, testicle left and right. What the hell is a kanima?" This caught them off guard for a moment, but before they could answer Finstock already started the review for the midterm and he had people go up to the board. Jackson told them what Derek had done to him.
"Paralyzed from the neck down. Do you have any idea what that feels like?" Jackson hissed at them. Stiles tilted her head.
"I'm familiar with the sensation." She recalled that night.
"Wait why would Derek test you? Why would he think that it's you?" Scott asked. Jackson gave him a shrug.
"How should I know?"
Stiles leaned back into her seat toward him. "Wait, why do they think it's Landon?" She wondered.
"I don't know, all I heard was his name and something about chemistry." Jackson vouched. It was when Landon had finished writing on the board did they realize that Landon had written in some kind of foreign language. Landon, himself looked a bit freaked out. He quickly left the room.
"How do we know it's not him?" Scott asked to Stiles after seeing Landon's reaction.
"Because I looked into the eyes of that thing and what I saw was pure evil. And when I look into his eyes, I only see 50% evil. All right, maybe 60. You know, but no more than 40 on a good day." She explained.
"Stiles, that's not a very good argument." Scott told her. She nodded her head.
"I'm aware of that, but I swear it's not him." She waved her arms around.
"Do you not see what he wrote on the board?" Scott pointed at the board. "What is that Greek?" Scott asked her. Stiles looked writing for a minute.
"No, it's English, but backwards." She took a quick shot before Finstock erased the board. She showed him the picture. "Somebody help me." A worried face was now her face.
"Derek's not going to kill him without proof." Scott assured her.
"I hope you're right, we know he'll test him like he did with Jackson right? But when and where?"
"Chemistry."
The whole plan to protect Landon from Isaac and Erica was shot to hell. Mr. Harris had them doing stations and only Scott was able to move, while Stiles and Allison had the unfortunate pleasure of staying in one place. Erica was stationed with Scott first. "Whatever you're thinking about doing, wait. Give me a chance to talk to Derek." Scott told her. Erica gave him nothing, but a smile.
"Why don't you talk to me instead?" She placed a hand on Scott's thigh and noticed Allison's reaction. "That's funny. In school, you guys act like you're broken up, but I can smell her all over you."
"I don't know what you're talking about." Scott played it off, but Erica knew he was lying.
Landon had managed to sit next to Allison during the first round. He noticed the interaction that was going on between Scott and Erica as well. "Never? You never get jealous?" Landon asked her. Allison shook her shoulders.
"Why would I?" She asked.
"Because of that thing happening over there." Landon tilted his head in the previous direction, "That requires some jealousy."
"Switch." Harris announced and just Landon left Allison knew she had to warn her friend. "Listen to me, okay? Don't talk to Erica or Isaac." She told him.
"Why?"
"Trust me okay." She asked him. Landon slipped up with a nod.
As everyone had switched Isaac managed to plot himself right next to Stiles and she already wasn't in the mood to play games. "If you hurt him I swear, I'm gonna turn your little werewolf ass into a fur coat and give it to him as a birthday present." She hissed at him, but Isaac gave her a smirk.
"I see why Derek finds you so irritating," he told her. Stiles managed not to flinch at the name. "I've never been to one of his parties though. I did try to be friends with him a couple times though."
"Sounds like the beginning to a heartfelt story. I'm gonna pass, thanks." Stiles told him.
"It was the first day of freshman year-" Isaac began, but Stiles cuts him off.
"And you thought 'new year, new start', but no he still shot you down." Stiles said simply. Isaac gave a smile laugh.
"Yeah, he even laughed. Told me to come back when the bike I rode to school had an engine."
Stiles remained unfazed, "Mm, maybe you should write about it in English class, you know? Could probably help get rid of all that negative energy."
"Nah, I was thinking I'd channel it into killing him. I'm not very good at writing." Stiles looked over at him, just as a smile played on Isaac's face.
"And switch." Harris announced.
Stiles noticed that Isaac was making his way toward Landon. She was about to get up when Mr. Harris forced her to sit back down. Isaac sit down next to Landon and threw a smile in her direction.
"If you're trying to test my patience, Ms. Stilinski, I guarantee it'll be a failing grade." Harris warned her.
Allison got partnered with Erica. "What are you gonna do to him?" She asked her. She didn't miss the mischievous look Erica gave her.
"Don't you think the better question is what's he going to do to us?" She looked up ahead of them and Allison saw who she was looking at. "I have to say, you guys are cute together. But you know, I've always had this feeling like I'm a little psychic. I just don't think you're going to last."
"You think you can hurt me by sliding your hand up his thigh?" Allison challenged. Erica placed her on Allison's thigh, only her claws were out.
"Would you like it better if it were your thigh? Come on. Girl fight in lab. It'll be hot."
When Harris called time on the experiment everyone was able to eat the crystal that had been. Stiles and Scott noticed how Landon's crystal had the venom on it. They waited on edge as they watched him eat it completely unharmed by it. Stiles felt an inner tug and looked out the window. She noticed Derek stood outside the school with a heated expression.
Allison, Scott, and Stiles were in a storage space trying to figure out how exactly they were going to stop Derek.
"You don't think he'll actually kill him, do you?" Allison asked them. Stiles and Scott exchanged glances.
"If he thinks he's the kanima, then yes, especially after what happened at the pool." Scott told her. Stiles shook her head still not believing that Landon was the one.
"It's not him." She said confidently.
"Stiles, he didn't pass the test. Nothing happened." Scott reminded her.
"It doesn't matter, because Derek thinks it's him. So either we can convince him that he's wrong, or we've got to figure out a way to protect him." Allison told them.
"Well, I really don't think he's gonna do anything here, not at school." Stiles told them. Derek was a lot things, but he wasn't stupid. "So what about after school? What if we can prove that Derek's wrong?"
"By three o'clock?" Scott asked.
"There could be something in the bestiary." Allison offered.
"Oh, you mean the 900–page book written in archaic Latin that none of us can read? Good luck with that." Stiles told her.
"Actually, I think I know someone who might be able to translate it." Allison responded. Stiles raised an eyebrow at her.
"Uh, I can talk to Derek, maybe convince him to give us a chance to prove that it's not him. But if anything happens, you guys let me handle it, okay?" Scott told them. The girls gave him confused looks.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Stiles asked.
"That you can't heal like I do. I just don't want the two of you to get hurt." Scott told them.
"We can protect ourselves." Allison told him. She pulled out her small bow and arrow. Scott looked over at Stiles, who remained unarmed.
"My bat's in the jeep, but I hope you can Scott." Stiles told him.
Matt and Danny were in the library talking to Jackson about how it was possible to the footage to be lost. They came to the conclusion that it was possible that someone had tampered with the tape. Someone who had easy access to get in and out of Jackson's house. Jackson didn't have a clue until he noticed Stiles and Landon walk through the library.
Meanwhile, the new guidance counselor, Ms. Morrell, Landon had mentioned to Allison managed to translate some of the written text from the bestiary. The counselor was stunned that Allison even had something like it.
"Like the wolf, the kanima is a social creature, but where the wolf seeks a pack, the kanima seeks a friend." Ms. Morrell translated.
""A friend," what does that mean?" She asked her.
"Maybe it's lonely." She offered. "Like a teenager."
As Stiles and Landon made their way through the library. Jackson quickly joined them. Stiles was going to let a protest, but quickly shut her mouth when she noticed the look that Landon gave Jackson.
"He failed the test." Derek told Scott, once Scott came to him.
"Yeah, which doesn't prove anything. Landon's different." Scott explained, but Derek didn't budge.
"I know, at night he turns into a homicidal walking snake."
"I'm not going to let you kill him."
"Who said I was gonna do it?" Derek replied.
