Ch. 21 Fury
Scott and I were waiting at Stiles telling his dad that Matt was the one killing people.
"Stiles what did you guys want to show me at 2 in the morning?" He said annoyed.
"This" I told him while showing him the yearbook that had a circle on Matt's picture.
"What am I looking at?"
"Your murderer" Stiles said.
He studied the picture of Matt "This kid is the real killer?"
"Yes" We all said at once.
"No"
"Yes" Stiles argued
"No"
"Dad come on" Stiles said getting up "Everybody knows that the police look for ways to connect victims to murderers. All he had to do was look through the transcripts and figure out which class they all had in common"
"Yeah, except for the fact that the rave promoter, Kara wasn't in Harris' class" I walked over to the yearbook flipping through the pages to see what else they all had in common, and I tuned out their arguing. I stopped at the swim page and saw them all there including Mr. Lahey. I picked up the book and showed Mr. S,
"That's the other thing they had in common and Mr. Lahey was the coach"
"Alright, I'll allow the remote possibility, but give me a motive. Why would this kid want most of the 2006 swim team and its coach dead?"
"Maybe they did something to him and it left him traumatized?" I suggested. Mr. S took some thought to that and went to look back at Stiles,
"What do you want me to do?"
"We need to look at the evidence." Scott said,
"That would be at the station" He turned to Stiles "Where I no longer work"
"Trust Scott and I" Stile began "They'll let you in"
"Trust you two?"
Stiles turned his body towards me "Trust Chelsea?"
He nodded. "Chelsea I trust"
We all got into his car and drove us to the police station in silence. We went in the police station seeing Tara at the front desk, she sighed when she saw us. "It's two o'clock in the morning" She said when she saw us.
"Belive me, I wouldn't be here unless it was extremely important"
"We'll go through the hospital stuff first" Stiles said.
"Why?" Scott asked.
"Because all the murders were committed by Jackson except for one" I told him.
We all walked into the office and watched the security footage for over an hour. "I don't know guys," Mr. S began "There was six car pile up that night. The hospital was jammed"
"Just keep going," Stiles said "He had to have passed one of the cameras on that floor to get to Jessica's room."
"Hold on!" I looked at Scott "Did you see that? Scroll back" When Mr.S went back there Matt was walking by.
"That's him!" I screamed "That's Matt"
"All I see is the back of someone's head"
"Matt's head" I said "I sit behind him in Geometry. He has a very distinct cranium, it's weird"
Mr. S looked at me like I was crazy. "Are you crazy?"
"Alright fine, look at his jacket. How many people do you know that wear black leather jackets?" Stiles asked.
"Millions" He said and he looked at me "Chelsea's wearing one right now"
"Can we scroll forward?" Scott asked. "There's got to be a shot of him coming at one of the cameras" Mr. S took in a deep breath, but still listened. We saw him again, but it was still his back "He's talking to our mom"
Scott pulled out his phone, called our mom and asked her about it. We sent her a picture of Matt and she said she saw him at the hospital and remembered that she had to stop him because he was tracking in mud. Scott hung up and Mr. S pulled out one of the files "We have shoe prints at the crime scene"
"Which puts Matt at the sight of three murders" I said "The trailer, the hospital and the rave"
"Actually four," Mr. S told us "There was a receipt signed by Matt at the car shop, just twenty minutes before you two got there" Mr. S put the file back on the desk and looked at Scott, "Scott call your mom back and see how fast she can get here" He turned to me "Chelsea, go to the front desk. Tell them to let your mom come through when she gets here" I nodded and went towards the front desk only to see no one there. I looked around the room and saw no one there, I turned and I saw a gun pointed in my face by Matt. He grabbed my arm and drug me back to where Scott and them were at. Scott saw me and he tapped Mr. Stilinski's arm and he looked up scared,
"Matt? It's Matt right, whatever is going on, I'm pretty sure there's a solution that doesn't involve a gun"
"You know it's funny you say that because I'm not sure you're aware of how right you really are"
I sighed knowing he was talking about Jax. "I know you don't want to hurt people"
"Actually," Matt began "I want to hurt a lot of people, the four of you weren't on that list, but I can be persuaded, and one way is to try dialing someone on your cell phone like McCall is doing" Scott immediately took his hand out of his pocket. "That could definitely get someone hurt" He looked at all of us "Everyone, phones on the table" no one moved right away "Now!" Everyone put their phone on the table. Matt let me go and pushed me into Scott and I hugged him and he hugged back. "Let's take a little field trip, shall we?" He led us all to the holding cells and told me to lock up Mr. Stilinski. I put one cuff on his wrist and the other on the pole on the wall. "Tighter" Matt sneered.
"Do what he says Chelsea" He gave me a look to say it was going to be alright and I made the cuff tighter.
We all walked out of the room and down the hall where we saw everyone who was working that night body bloody and torn. I i was thankful that Tara got out before she could get killed. "Are you going to kill everyone in here?" I asked.
"No, that's what Jackson is for" Matt smiled, "I just think about killing them and he does it" He pushed us forward to the office and told us to delete all the evidence on him and we did.
"Okay Matt, since everyone you brutally murdered deserved it because they killed you first, whatever that means, we're good here right? I'll just get my dad and we'll go, you can continue with the whole vengeance thing, enjoy the Kanima" Stiles said. There were headlights outside of the police station and we all froze. Our mom. "Looks like you two's mom is here"
"Matt don't do this" I pleaded. "When she comes through the door I'll just tell her to leave. I'll tell her we didn't find anything. Please Matt"
We heard the door open and close. "If you don't move now," Matt began "I'm going to kill Stiles first, I looked at Scott with pleading eyes. "Open the door" He told me. I closed my eyes and open the door revealing Derek "Oh thank god"
He didn't look like himself though. Something was off. He looked right at me first and began to fall. When I looked behind I saw Jackson with his claws dripping with the toxin he has. I looked down at Derek when Matt went to lean down by him, "This is the one controlling him? This kid?"
"Well Derek, not everyone is lucky enough to be a big bad werewolf" He stood up "Oh yeah, that's right, I've learned a few things lately. Werewolves, hunters,Kanimas it's like a freaking Halloween party every full moon." He turned to me and Stiles "Except Stiles and Chelsea, Stiles what do you turn into?"
"An abominable snowman, it's more of a seasonal thing" Matt tilted his head and Stiles went down face first into Derek's shoulder. "Chelsea what else can you do? I mean you turn into a full wolf but yet you got a loud scream any supernatural creature can hear, what exactly is that?" I just shrugged and then Jackson's hand was on my neck and I can feel the goo fall down from his claws. I looked at Jackson and he quickly let the back of my neck go and he started stepping back and looking at his claws. "What did you do?" Matt exclaimed, but before I could answer Jackson went back to Kanima mode.
"Cam someone get him off me" Derek complained, Matt's gaze left mine and he looked down at Derek,
"I don't know Derek," He began to lean back down "You two make a pretty good pair. It must suck though to have all the power taken away from you with just a little cut on the back of the neck. I bet you're not used to feel this helpless"
"I still have some teeth. Why don't you get down a little closer huh? See how helpless I am."
"Yeah bitch" Stiles voice was muffled. Then we heard the sound of a car pulling in and headlights showed in the window. "Is that her?" I turned to Scott who also looked scared "Do what I tell you both to and I won't hurt her. I won't even let Jackson go near her"
"Scott, Chelsea, don't trust him!" Stiles yelled.
He turned Stiles around and stepped on his throat. "Is this better for you two?"
"Matt! Stop!" Scott and I yelled.
"Then the two of you do what I tell you to do"
"Okay!" Scott said.
He took his foot off of Stiles' throat. "Take them in there" He commanded Jackson. Jackson dragged both Derek and Stiles into his dad's office. He turned back to us. "You two, with me"
I held Scott's hand as we walked as we walked up to the front desk "Scott Chelsea," That was mom's voice "Where is everybody?" She turned and saw Matt holding a gun up to us.
"Mom, just do as he says and he promised not to hurt you" I told her,
"She's right" Matt shot me then Scott. Mom screamed and Scott and I looked at Matt in shock. "But I didn't say I wasn't going to hurt the both of you"
Mom tried to run at us, but Matt pointed the gun at her. "Get back mom" Scott said.
"Get up" Matt said "Both of you"
"SHUT UP! EVERYBODY SHUT UP!" He pointed the gun at mom. "Now get up or I shoot her next." Scott and I slowly got up and we both had our claws in our wounds to keep them open.
"They need to see a doctor" Mom yelled.
"We're fine" I said but mom protested and Matt looked at us amused,
"She doesn't know does she?" he then turned to our mom "Shut up, or the next bullet is going through their head, back to the front McCalls" We walked into the Sheriff's office where Jackson was keeping Derek and Stiles. "I want the book!" Matt yelled "I want the bestiary!"
"What do you want it for?" I asked confused.
"For this!" Matt pulled up his shirt to reveal scales going up his side.
"Balance" I whispered, Matt heard me and looked at me, but before he got to ask me the question he wanted to as he heard a noise come from the holding cells and he went back there. Then all the lights went out and Derek got up and told Scott and I to take Stiles. We ran when we saw Jackson following us, every door we went through I locked it while Scott and Stiles went ahead, we got into a room with a heavy door that Jackson couldn't get through. Scott set Stiles on the bench "don't move" Stiles gave him a look "right" then Scott and I went towards the holding cells and when we got in there the Kanima was on the cell where mom was at. Mom looked at us and then she heard all my bones cracking and shifting then I was a full wolf and I grabbed the Kanima by its tail and flung him off. Scott tossed the keys to mom and we left she was looking at us like we were monsters.
Scott and I ran towards Gerard "What are you doing here?" I asked "It wasn't supposed to happen like this"
"Trust me I'm aware of that"
"We've done everything you've asked us to do. We joined Derek's pack, we've given you all the information that you wanted, we've give you maps that lead to Jackson-"
"Then leave him to us. Leave Matt and Jackson to me. Deal with your mother. Go."
Scott leaned down and picked up a little tin "You dropped this" Gerard took it and we both ran off.
