Chapter 21: Party Guessed

Once Scott had recovered, Derek had brought us to the train cars.

"I'm saying we need a new plan because next time, one of us is going to be too hurt to heal." Derek said as we stepped onto one of the train cars. I sat down across from Derek as Scott stood by us.

"I get it, We can't save Jackson." Scott said, leaning against one of the rails.

"We can't seem to kill him, either." I added.

"I've seen a lot of things guys. I've never seen anything like this. Everything seems to make him stronger." Derek said. His voice low.

"Then, how do we stop him?" Scott asked.

"I don't know. I don't even know if we can."

"Maybe we should just let the Argents handle it."

"I don't want it to hurt them. It's my fault."

"You didn't turn him into that thing, Derek." I said.

"This happened because of something in has past," Scott added.

"It's a legend in a book, It's not that simple."

"What do you mean? What are you not telling us?"

"Why do you think I'm always keeping something from you guys?"

"Because you always are keeping something from us!"

"Well, Maybe I do it to protect you, both of you."

"Doesn't being a part of your pack mean no more secrets?"

"I can protect myself." I mumbled, earning a look from Derek.

"Go home, both of you. Sleep. Heal. Make sure your friends are safe. The full moon is coming. And with the way things are going, I've got a feeling it's going to be a rough one." Derek said.

Scott and I nodded. Derek stayed on the train car as Scott and I walked out. As we walked towards the exit, something hit me in the back of my head. Scott paused along with me. I kneeled down to see that it was a pebble. I looked to the direction it came from and saw Isaac peeking from behind his own train car door. I smiled and stood after picking up the pebble.

"I'll meet you at home." I said, turning to Scott. He nodded, giving me a protective brother look. I turned back to walk towards Isaac's train car. I stepped inside and was pushed gently against the door just barely after Isaac had shut it.

Isaac's tall, lean, muscular body was extremely close to mine. I felt my heart rate increase. I looked up into his eyes and he smiled down at me. He towered over me when I didn't have heels on. Even then, He was still inches taller. I lifted my right hand between us, holding up the pebble.

His playfulness wasn't sexual but I couldn't help but toy with some scenarios in my head.

"There are other ways to get my attention." I said, biting my lip.

"I know. But Scott doesn't like me very much. I figured I'd be more subtle." Isaac said before putting his forehead on mine. "You calm me. But then again, you get my heart going at certain times." I chuckled.

"I guess it's a win win, then." I said, draping my arms around his neck as he snaked his around my waist.

"Will you do something for me?" My heart did something weird.

"Uhm. Like what?" I asked, nervously.

"Nothing sexual, Kitty. Just stay with me tonight. I'm getting somewhat anxious about the full moon and you give me a level head." He pulled his face away and smiled at me. I sighed in relief. I was not losing my virginity in a place full of werewolves that would hear the whole thing.

"Of course I'll stay with you." I said before bringing him down to kiss me. The kiss was short but sweet. He pulled away and took off his shirt.

"I sleep shirtless. Do you have an issue with that?" Isaac asked as I stared as his newly defined muscles.

"I'm not complaining." I said. He chuckled and walked over to the medium sized dresser he had.

"Do you need anything do sleep in?"

"No, I have something on under this button up it's just kind of short." I said half shirt I had on came down to barely the bottom of my front rib cage.

"Let's see it." Isaac said, his back to his dresser, he leaned on it. I started unbuttoning my shirt, which was buttoned all the way up. It was extremely difficult because my hands were so shaky. Isaac moved to stand in front of me.

He set his hand on my shaky ones.

"Breathe. Is your anxiety bugging you again?" Isaac said, taking my hands in his. I nodded. I felt my chest tighten.

"I don't like the feeling I have in my gut about this full moon. or the kanima. Or whoever is controlling the kanima. It's all bad, very very ba-" I went on until Isaac stopped me.

"Hey, Listen to me." He cupped my jaw gently with both of his hands. His warm blue eyes, engulfing me into him. "We'll figure this out. We've got Scott and Derek and everybody working on finding out who it is that is hurting people. I'm here, Okay?. I'm here. For you. Don't you ever forget that." I felt the pressure in my chest fizzle out at Isaac's comforting words. I relaxed into him.

"I won't forget. I promise."

I had fallen asleep with my head on Isaac chest and his arms wrapped around me after I called Scott and told him I was staying. He obviously didn't like it but he said he'd cover for me. I woke to the sound of Isaac's train car door opening loudly. I opened my tired eyes to see Derek standing there.

"Alright you 2, Get up. I need my beta. You can stay Kat. If you want. You have 5 minutes." Derek said before walking out. Isaac was still sound asleep. I smiled at the sight of him. I reached up to the side of his face and tilted his head to face me.

"You're staring." Isaac said, his eyes fluttering open. I smiled.

"And you're not too bad on the eyes." I said as he looked at me.

"You aren't either." Isaac said before flipping us over quickly so that I was laying on my back and he was supporting his weight on top of me with his arms. I giggled.

"Derek needs all of his betas." I said, wrapping my legs around his waist.

"Derek also gave us 5 minutes." He leaned down to kiss me and I put my hand over my mouth. Isaac gave me a look. I used my other hand to move the hair that was covering my ear. I patted my ear gently with my pointer finger. "I don't care. You're my girlfriend and I want to kiss you." Isaac proclaimed before crashing his lips onto mine. I smiled into the kiss.

The kiss turned silly when Isaac moved from my lips to all over my face. I laughed as he pinned me down and I couldn't do anything but squirm under his strong grip. We heard a knock at the door, signaling Derek's 2 minute warning.

"Funs over." I frowned. Isaac's smile faltered as he stood from the bed. I watched the muscles in his back as he walked and felt my heart do a thing.

"I heard that." Isaac said, smiling happily as he searched through his drawers for something to wear. He already had jeans on, he just needed a shirt. He decided on a long sleeved crew neck. I just put on the shirt I was wearing the night before.

We stepped out into the main area where it was only Derek and Boyd.

"Waiting on Erica?" I asked as I leaned against a train car. Boyd nodded.

"As always." Boyd said, I giggled. Erica joined us about a minute later. She rolled her eyes at me and Isaac squeezed my hand.

Derek opened a large chest and Isaac saw something that intrigued him. He moved from my side to Derek's. I saw the symbol he was curious about and smiled.

"What's that?" Isaac asked as he bent down to trace the symbol. It was the same symbol Derek had tattooed on his back.

"It's a triscilade." Boyd said. "The spirals mean different things; Past present future, Mother, Father, Child."

"You know what it means to me." Derek asked. Boyd looked over to me, He knew I knew the answer.

"Alpha, Beta and Omega." I said. Derek smiled at my slightly.

"That's right. It's a spiral. It reminds us that we can all fall to one of rise to another. Betas can become Alphas, Alphas can fall to betas or even omegas." Derek said, standing up.

"Like Scott." Isaac said. I sighed.

"Scott is with us." Derek kneeled back down by the box. Isaac looked around.

"Really? Where is he now?" I rolled my eyes.

"He's looking for Jackson." I said. Isaac shot me an apologetic look.

"Don't worry, He's not going to have it easy tonight, None of us will. There is a price you pay for this kind of power. You get the ability to heal but tonight, you're going to want to kill anything you can find." Derek said, handing Isaac an anti-full moon contraption.

"Good thing I had my period last week, then." Erica said, earning a surprised look from all of us. Derek held up something that was painful to look at, another contraption.

"Well, This one is for you." I cracked a smile.

"Where am I supposed to be tonight?" I asked Derek, moving to stand by him.

"You are going with Scott and Stiles to Lydia's party." I groaned.

"Why? I can be useful here. If they get out of control all it takes is a little bit of focus to-" Isaac cut me off.

"No, It's too dangerous." Isaac said, his voice stern. I looked at Derek.

"He's right. I'm not doubting your powers, trust me, I'm not but I'm not risking getting you hurt or killed tonight. You'll be safer at Lydia's party." I groaned again at Derek's words.

"Fine." I said, crossing my arms. Isaac stepped around Derek.

"Stop pouting." Isaac uncrossed my arms and took my hands in his. "Go have fun. At least for a couple of hours, Okay?"

"Okay. I have to go get ready. I love you." I said. Isaac smiled.

"And I love you." Isaac leaned down to kiss me and I heard a gag sound from Erica. I gave her the middle finger and I heard Boyd and Derek laugh.

Stiles and I walked up to Lydia's house while Stiles was carrying a ridiculously large gift. I rang the doorbell for him. Lydia opened the door and looked surprised. Surprised at the gift and how I looked.

I decided to go all out for this freaking party since I was being forced to go. I love Lydia, but parties aren't my thing. I curled my long dark brown hair into perfect ringlets. I had light makeup on, like Lydia had shown me. I was wearing high waisted black leather leggings that clung to my legs and showed my curves. My top was black with pink roses. It showed about an inch of my rib cage. I also had on a white knit cardigan that was fairly large on me but I loved it. I completed the outfit with my old black pair of vans.

Lydia stared at me and smiled.

"Happy birthday! We're coming in." Stiles said. He struggled to get the gift through the door.

"Kat, You look hot!" Lydia exclaimed, a proud look of her face. Stiles looked back at me. I guessed he hadn't really looked at me when he picked me up because when he looked at me fell through the door with Lydia's gift. I chuckled as Stiles picked himself and the gift up.

"Thanks, Lydia! You do too!" I said to her. She smiled and turned to walk away.

"Don't forget to try the punch!" Lydia called.

Stiles and I met up with Scott. Scott gave me a look.

"What?" I asked him. I looked to Stiles and he shrugged.

"Do you remember the pact we made when we were like 13? All of us?" Scott said, stepping closer. I thought and remembered.

"Oh my god. Scott!" I yelled.

"WELL?!" Scott yelled back. Stiles looked really confused.

"I didn't have sex with Isaac and Even if I had, Are you sure you'd want to know? About your sister having sex with one of the guys you hate?" I said quietly, leaning closer to the boys. Stiles mumbled something that I couldn't hear.

"I don't hate him, Kat. I just don't trust him."

"Speak for yourself. I hate him." Stiles added.

"It really sucks that my boyfriend, best friend and brother don't get along. Because it puts me in some really awkward positions. But you 2 really have to understand that I love all 3 of you so much. Please just be civil to each other?"

"Fine, Just keep the PDA to a minimum." Stiles said. Scott nodded.

"Anyway, Either of you seen Jackson?" I asked as we walked down the hall.

"Nope, Have you seen Alison?" Scott asked.

"No, But we should probably tell her what we found." Stiles said.

"Still kinda not sure what we found." I rolled my eyes.

"We figured out that it has to do with water. All of the victims were on the swim team." I said.

"So, Whoever is controlling the kanima really hates the swim team?"

"Specifically the 2006 swim team." Stiles said.

"It could be a teacher, maybe another student from back then." I thought out loud.

"What are we missing?" Stiles asked. Ali walked up and I senses awkwardness between her and Scott.

"Uh, Jackson isn't here." Alison said, eyeing Scott.

"Yeah, no one is here." Stiles said.

"Maybe it's just early." Scott suggested.

"Or maybe nobody is coming because Lydia has turned into the town whackjob." Stiles said. I shrugged. He had a point.

"We have to do something, We've completely ignored her for the past 2 weeks." Alison said, looking over to a lonely looking Lydia across the pool.

"She's completely ignored Stiles the past 10 years." It slipped before I could stop myself. I sounded jealous. I kicked myself in my head. Figuratively.

"I prefer to think of it as me not have been on her radar," Stiles said.

"We don't owe her a party." Scott said.

"What about the chance to get back to normal?" Ali suggested. I nodded in agreement.

"Normal?" Scott asked.

"She wouldn't be the town whackjob if it wasn't for us."

"I guess I could use my co-captain status to get the lacrosse team here."

"I also know some people who can get this thing going. Like really going." Stiles said, pulling out his phone.

"I met them the other night. Let's just say they know how to party."

The people started flowing and I grabbed myself some punch. I sat down next to Scott.

"Are you going to apologize to Alison or what?" Stiles asked.

"Why should I apologize?" Scott asked. I rolled my eyes.

"Because you're the guy. It's like what we do." He had a point.

"But, I didn't do anything wrong."

"You should definitely apologize. Anytime a guy thinks he hasn't done anything wrong, He's done something wrong."

"I'm not apologizing."

"Is that the full moon talking, buddy?"

"Probably. Why do you care anyway?"

"Because something has to go right here. I mean, we are getting our asses royally kicked here, If you haven't noticed. People are dying, I got my dad fired, You're going to be held back in school, I'm in love with a nutjob and a witch at the same time." I looked up at Stiles. Him and I needed to talk. "And on top of all of that, If I have to watch you lose Alison to a stalker like Matt, I'm going to stab myself in the face!" Scott stood up and was looking across the pool.

"I'll second that." I said.

"Don't stab yourselves in the faces."

"Why?" Stiles asked.

"Because Jacksons here." I stood up to see Jackson walk in and Lydia hand him a glass of punch.

I had to pee so I went upstairs looking for the bathroom when I came across Alison standing in a room with a guy in a leather jacket.

"Get over yourself. There's another pretty girl walking through the room every 5 minutes." The guy yelled. I recognized the voice. It was Matt.

"Ali?" She looked up at me and Matt turned around.

"See! Perfect example." Matt said, pointing to me.

"Scott is looking for you. Want me to walk you back to him?" I lied. She nodded slowly. She walked past Matt and he grabbed her arm.

"Alison wait-" But she grabbed his shoulder and pushed him down. "What the hell is wrong with you?" Matt said. I grabbed Alison's hand and pulled her out of the room.

"Are you okay?" I asked, squeezing her shoulders.

"Yeah, Just feel kind of weird. I'll see you later?" She said. I nodded.

"Text me if you need me." She nodded.

I met up with Scott and Stiles.

"You feeling okay?"

"It's not the moon, It's different." Scott said, Stiles was distracted by something. He stood there for a moment before he looked like he was about to cry. I tried to get his attention but he wouldn't budge. He threw himself against a pillar and snapped out of whatever happened.

"Stiles! What happened?" I said, putting a hand on his cheek, wiping my best friend tear.

"I thought I uh saw something." He sat down and I saw Scott come running.

"We need to sober him up." Scott said.

"I got this." I said. I grabbed Stiles' face and dunked his head into the smaller pool next to us. I brought him back up. "How do you feel?"

"I really wish you were a boy so I could hit you." Stiles said.

"Hes sober." I said to Scott.

"We need to find Lydia." Scott said. I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. Alison had texted me.

Ali- Left early. Can't explain right now. Call you later.

K- I hope you're okay xx

I didn't get a text back.

I met up with Scott and Stiles about 5 minutes later.

"I can't find Lydia anywhere." I said.

"Dude, Everyone that drank the punch is freaking out." Stiles said to Scott and I.

"I can see that." Scott said. I turned around to see a couple of guys throw Matt into the pool.

"I can't swim!" Matt yelled just before he hit the water. Jackson pulled Matt out of the water. Matt stood up. "What are you looking at?" He said to all of the people tripping on whatever Lydia spiked the drinks with. Matt started to walk forward and paused in front of Stiles, Scott and I. Stiles pushed me behind him slightly and Matt stared at me as he walked by.

I heard sirens.

"Cops are here! Party is over!" Yelled some guy that had sobered up real quick.

Scott, Stiles and I made our way out front. While Stiles got sober checked, Scott saw something. I followed his line of sight and I saw Matt, looking extremely angry, he was looking at Scott and I. I looked down to see the Kanima crouched at Matt's feet. My heart stopped.

A crowd of screaming teenagers ran in front of Matt and when they disappeared, So did he. I looked over to Scott.

"Matt's controlling the kanima." We said.

OH SHIT. WAIT UNTIL YOU READ THE NEXT CHAPTER. SO INTENSE. REVIEW MY LOVELIES.
