I pulled my bike into the driveway behind Jake's car when my phone rang. I turned the engine off and looked at the caller ID to see Stiles' face. I answered it with a sigh.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"Bet now you're going to go to your room and pout, aren't you?" Stiles asked.

"What are you talking about?"

"Scott told me that Derek attacked you."

"You're with Scott?"

"Yeah, there's a story behind that."

"What?"

"When I went to go pick up my car, something attacked me and something killed the man working on my car."

"What was it? Werewolf?" I got off my bike.

"No, not a werewolf, it was more like a. . . lizard. I mean, it hand a tail, fours paws and scales. Before I saw it, I felt my hands freeze up and I just became paralyzed. And that's not all." I walked through the front door.

"What?" I walked up the steps.

"You know how you see a friend in a Halloween mask and all you can see is there eyes?" I walked down the hallway to my room.

"Are you saying you knew the thing that attacked you?" I opened my bedroom door.

"No, but I think I knew me." I turned on the light and grasped at the sight.

"Oh, my god."

"What? Calla, what is it?"

"Calla Lilies." There were Calla Lily petals covering my entire room. I couldn't even see my floor, mind my bed. "I'll talk to you tomorrow, Stiles." I hung up and tossed the phone on my desk. I picked up the note that was on my bed and opened it. Sorry. I love you, Callana Alana Bryn.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTTT

"I'm so sorry about the other day. I'm trying. We'll get through this. I know because I love you. I love you more. . . Oh, my god! You and Allison have got to come up with a better way to communicate." Stiles said. I laughed from the step above them.

"Come on." Scott whined. "You guys are the only ones that we can trust. Is she coming to the game?"

"Yes." I answered. "Message complete. Now tell me what the boss said."

"He thinks that Allison's family keeps some sort of records of all the things they hunted. Like a book." Scott said.

"A bestiary." Stiles said. Scott laughed.

"I think you mean beastiology." Scott said.

"Nope, pretty sure he doesn't. It's like a book on mythical creatures." I explained.

"How come it seems like I'm the only who doesn't know about this stuff?" Scott whined.

"You're my best friend, you're a creature of the night, it's kind of like a priority of mine to know things." Stiles said.

"Ok," Scott said. "If we can find it and it can tell us what this thing is,"

"And who," I added.

"We need that book." Scott said. He snapped his head up at Stiles as an idea popped into his head. Stiles sighed and got up to go outside to ask Allison.

"You're going to give him a heart attack." I said.

"I know."

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEE

"Coach, you have to let me play." I protested. Alan got tackled by an opponent.

"Bryn, if I let you play, you will get crushed." Coach said. "Stilinksi! Take Alan's spot!" Stiles shoved keys into my hands as he walked past me.

"Principal's office." He said. I turned and ran into the school and unlocked the door. I felt my way to the desk and began digging through the desk looking for a leather bounded book. I pulled out my phone and texted Allison. Nothing here. A figure appeared in the door and I looked up and groaned to see it was Erica.

"Hello, Callana. The Alpha wishes to see you."

"Well, you can go tell your little Alpha that he can come kiss my ass."

"He won't take no for an answer, Callana." She came over to me and grabbed me by the neck and led me to the pools where Derek was tossing a basketball from hand to hand. Erica let go of me and joined him at his side as he looked up at me.

"Hello, Lily, thanks for coming." He smirked.

"Well, what could I say? Had to return the favor for giving me those three beautiful claw marks on my stomach."

"I said sorry. Now, let's just jump to the point, shall we?"

"Let's."

"What did Stiles see at the mechanics garage?"

"Uh, several EPA violations that he's considering on reporting." Derek chuckled and deflated the basketball with his claws. "Holy god."

"Let's try that again."

"Ok, he said that the thing was pretty slick looking. Uh, skin was dark. Kind of patterned. He said it could have been scales. Is that enough? Ok, cause I have a lacrosse game that I'm trying to play." Derek continued to stare at me. I groaned. "Fine, alright, eyes. He said eyes were uh, yellowish and silted. Had a lot of teeth, oh and it had a tail too. Are we good?" Derek looked above me. "What? Wait, have you seen it? You this look on your faces like you know exactly what I'm talking about." I turned around and looked up too. "Holy hell!" This lizard thing hissed at me and I jumped back. Derek stepped in front of me and roared at the lizard who knocked Erica into a wall, knocking her out.

"Run!"Derek ordered me, pushing me back. The thing was so fast, I didn't know it scratched Derek until I saw the blood on his neck after he turned around.

"Derek, your neck." He began to fall to the ground but I rushed over to him and wrapped his arm around my shoulders and lifted him up.

"Call Scott." I pulled out my phone but it slipped through my sweaty fingers. I bent over to pick it up but I lost my grip on Derek and he fell into the pool. Without thinking twice, I dived into the eight feet of water and pulled Derek to the surface grasping for breath. I pulled his arm around me again and his weight sagged onto my shoulders as I fought to keep both of our heads above water. I looked around for the thing.

"Where'd it go? Do you see it?"

"No."

"Ok, maybe it took off." A hiss sounded through the dark room.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEE

"Can you get me out of here before I drown?" Derek asked me. The clothes stuck to our bodies as I continued to keep our heads above the water. Well, most of the time.

"You're worried about drowning?" I questioned him. "Have you noticed the thing out there with multiple rows of razor sharp teeth?"

"Have you noticed that I'm paralyzed from the neck down in eight feet of water?"

"Ok," I looked around in the darkness. "I don't see it." I began to use my free arm to pull us to the edge of the pool.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait." Derek protested. I stopped swimming. I looked to my right, past Derek's head to see the lizard thing circling the pool.

"What's it waiting for?" We watched as the lizard dipped its paw into the water and pulled back quickly and hissed. "Did you see that? I don't think it can swim." My legs were starting to cramp up as the lizard continued to circle the pool. "Ok, I don't think I can do this much longer." I looked at my phone which was still on the edge of the pool. I began to take Derek's arm off of me but he protested.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no," He said. "Don't even think about it."

"Don't you trust me?"

"Yes."

"I'm the one who's keeping you alive, have you noticed that?"

"Yeah and when the paralyses wears off, who do you think is going to fight that thing? Me or you?"

"Yeah, that's why I've been holding you up for the past two hours."

"You need me to survive which is why you are not letting me go." I paused for a moment and stared deep into Derek's eyes before pushing him off of me. "Lily!" I swam as fast as I could and grabbed my phone before the thing could get me. I dialed Scott's number.

"Scott!"

"Can't talk right now." And with that, he hung up. I debated on whether to call Stiles but my baby was drowning. I tossed my phone and dove under and pulled Derek up to the surface.

"Tell me you got it?" Derek asked. I didn't answer.

"I can't stay up any longer." I said. "I need something to hold onto." I looking towards the diving board and began to swim towards it. I tried to reach forward but my legs gave way and we sunk. Something grabbed us by the collars of our shirts and yanked us out of the water. I crashed onto the ground and looked to see Scott. The lizard came running and tackled Scott to the ground. Lizard's tail wrapped around Scott's ankle and slammed him into a mirror. Scott picked up a shard of glass as a weapon. The thing stopped and looked at the glass. What was it doing? The thing leapt forward and ran up the wall and out of the glass in the roof.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

We had plugged Gerard's flash drive into Stiles computer once we got out to Scott's car. Pages and pages of Latin popped up.

"Is this even a language?" Scott mumbled. "How are we suppose to know if we can't even freaking read this?"

"It's called a Kanima." Derek said walking up to us with Erica beside him.

"You knew this whole time?" I questioned him.

"No, only when I saw it was confused with its own reflection." Derek said.

"It doesn't know what it is." Stiles said.

"Or who." Derek added.

"Well, what else do you know?" Scott asked.

"Only stories. Rumors."

"But it's like us?" I asked.

"A shapeshifter, yes, but it's not right. It's like a. . . "

"An abomination." Stiles said. Derek nodded in agreement before turning around only to be stopped by Scott.

"Derek, we need to work together on this. Maybe even tell the Argents."

"You trust them?" Derek questioned him.

"No one trusts anyone." Scott said. "That's the problem. While, we're here arguing about who's on who's side, there's something scarier, something stronger and faster than any of us and it's killing people. And we still don't know anything about it."

"I know one thing, when I find it, I'm going to kill it." Derek said.

"Well, I personally had enough excitement for one night. So good night." Stiles said.

"Derek, can I talk to you alone for a minute?" I asked. Derek looked over his shoulder at Erica, silently telling her to run along. I looked at Scott and Stiles and they got into the car and drove away.

"Erica made you jealous, didn't she?" Derek questioned me.

"Yeah, she did. She made me miss all the fun me and you had. I miss it, Der."

"I miss it too, Lily."

"Tonight, in the pool, when I dove to get you, I realized how madly in love I was in love with you."

"Are you saying you want me back?"

"Do you want me back?"

"Did the calla lilies not give a hint?" I laughed and ran to embrace Derek in my arms. I got the warm feeling inside me. The happiness, the joy, the love. The feeling of being melted again. "I love you, Calla Lily."

"I love you too, Der."
