It wasn't long before Derek came up to my room. I sat up as I grabbed the clothes upon my bed.
" We need to go to the vet." He says as I put a beanie on.
" Why? What does he have that we need?" I asked as I felt Derek place a hand over my belly.
" He might have something we can use against the Kanima." Derek says as I nodded. He sat me in the Camaro after handing me an apple. I bite into it after Derek begins to drive.
" How has your nausea been?" Derek asked as I threw the apple core out the window.
" Gone down a lot." I whispered as I felt his hand on my belly again.
" That's good." Derek whispered before we were at the front of the vet clinic. We saw Isaac by the door. Derek and I got out of the car. Isaac nods his head as I go inside. I see Scott looking surprised.
" What's he doing here?" Scott asked as I made my eyes change.
" I need him." Derek says as Scott was pointient as I went passed the gate.
" I don't trust him." Scott says as I point at Derek.
" Yeah, well, he doesn't trust you either." Isaac replied as I chuckled.
" You know what? And Derek really doesn't care or need this going on." Derek said in third person.
" Now where's the vet? Is he gonna help us or not?" I asked before Deaton was at my side.
" That depends. Your friend, Jackson. Are we planning to kill him or save him?" Deaton asked as I watched Derek say' Kill him' and Scott say 'Save him.'.
" Save him. We don't want a bunch of blood shed." I say as Deaton let us in the back. I sit next to standing yet slightly irritated Derek. Isaac goes for a bottle of what looked like mistletoe. I quickly stood and grabbed his hand as my eyes changed for a brief moment.
" Watch what you touch." I say as my eyes go back to normal. Isaac nodded and I looked at Deaton.
" So, what are you? Some kind of witch?" Isaac asked as I chuckled.
" No, I'm a veterinarian." He replied as he looked at his herbs.
" Unfortunately, I don't see anything here that's going to be an effective defense against a paralytic toxin." Deaton explained as I felt Derek pull me into his side. I just rested there.
" We're open to suggestions. Any suggestions." Derek says as Deaton nodded.
" What about an effective offense?" Isaac suggests as I see Derek shake his head.
" We already tried. I nearly took its head off. And Argent emptied an entire clip into it. The thing just gets back up." Derek says as I turned to him.
" You didn't get hurt did you?" I asked as I took his face in my hands.
" No, I got out of there before I was spotted." He said before placing his head against mine.
" Has it shown any weaknesses?" Deaton asked as I nodded.
" Well, one - it can't swim." I say as Deaton nods solemnly.
" Does that go for Jackson as well?" He asked as I pointed at Scott.
" No. He's the captain of the swim team." Scott says as I see Deaton going for something.
" Essentially, you're trying to catch two people." He says as he grabbed a medallion.
" A puppet - and a puppeteer." He explains before putting it down.
" One killed the husband, but the other had to take care of the wife. Do we know why?" Deaton asked as I felt Derek wrap his arms around my waist. Right over the baby's placement inside me.
" I don't think Jackson could do it. His mother died pregnant too, and she was maybe murdered. I think he couldn't let the same thing happen to someone else." Scott explained as I felt my fear level go up. Derek just scents me as kisses the mark he placed so long ago. This effectively calms me.
" How do you know it's not part of the rules? The kanima kills murderers. If Jackson kills the wife, then the baby dies too." Isaac says as I turned to Derek who rubs my back.
" Does that mean your father, my uncle, was a murderer?" I asked as I see Isaac shrugged.
" Wouldn't surprise me if he was." Isaac replied as I just felt Derek's lips upon my forehead.
" Hold on. The book says they're bonded, right? What if the fear of water isn't coming from Jackson, but from the person controlling him?" Deaton asked before I saw him reach for a bottle filled with a form of black ash. Mountain Ash?
" What if something that affects the kanima also affects its master?" Deaton asked as he surrounded the pendant with it in a circle.
" Meaning what?" Isaac asked as I smiled.
" Meaning we can catch them. Both of them." I said before Derek pulled me into his arms.
" I don't need Lex to stress." Derek said as I leaned towards him. Scott looked confused at this.
" He doesn't know." I said as I stepped forward.
" Scott, tune your hearing only to me."I say as he nods. I saw his eyes flash. I watched his eyes trail to my stomach.
" I hear a second heartbeat." He said as I nodded.
" Its one of the reason's that Derek built a pack." I say as he brought me in for a hug.
" We are trying to tell little people as possible. Especially keep it out of hunter's ears." I say as Scott nods.
" You're my friend Lexi. I promise to keep you safe." Scott said as I smiled.
" Derek?" Scott asked as Derek came from behind me and placed a kiss upon my cheek.
" Who do you think?" I asked before Scott looked at Derek.
" Congrats to the both of you." Scott says before I felt Derek nudge the small of my back.
" Alright, I'm going to the car." I say as I heard him chuckle.
" I have to keep you comfortable." Derek says before opening the car door and I get in. He drives me back to my house. As soon as I get inside, Derek picks me up bridal style.
" What are you doing?" I asked as he presses a bunch of kisses upon my cheeks.
" Being a proper Imprint." He says before setting me down.
" I'll make you some food." Derek whispered as I nipped his neck. He growled before scenting my neck. I went to my room and grumbled. as I laid in bed. Night fell before Derek brought me my food. I sat up and began to dive in. As soon as I finished. I laid down after removing my clothes.
" Get some sleep Lexi." Derek whispered as I fell into unconsciousness.
I see myself in a cage.
You have to let me go! I growled as Gerard chuckled.
' I need you for the trade. Scott will have Allison after I get what I want' He said as I crawled to see Erica and Boyd chained up and being electrocuted.
I woke up and sat up. I check my phone and it was about 5pm. Missed school again, great!
" What are you doing up?" Derek asked as I looked over.
" And where you going?" I asked as I saw that he was dressed. He sits down.
" The rave is tonight and we are going use it aginst the Kanima. We already have confirmation Jackson is going to be there." Derek said as I got up.
" Then I'm going with you." I said as his eyes glowed.
" I can't risk fighting the hunters. Finding the Kanima and your safety." Derek says as I smiled.
" I'll stay in hiding. Hell I'll stick to the shadows." I said as he huffed. The two of us went to the rave area. Erica, Isaac and Boyd met up with us.
" Isaac, Erica. find Jackson. Boyd, you are with me. Lex." Derek says as I pressed a kiss upon his cheek. I ran off and climbed pillers. I saw Gerard looking at the mountain ash that was currently being placed down by Stiles. I half shifted.
Old man you are mine.I growled as I saw the barrier fulfilled. I was on the inside of the barrier.
But not today. I growled before shifting back and going down a pillar. I got up to Stiles and Derek.
" Hey, um, so we kind of lost Jackson inside, but it's." Stiles says as I looked at the line of ash.
" oh, my God. It's working. Oh, this is - I did something." Stiles said in a happy way.
" I heard everything. The bullets. The growls. I even saw Gerard. They however, didn't see me." I say as Derek nodded. Yet a howl brought us out.
" Scott?" Derek asked as I felt my eyes change.
Break the seal! I growled at Stiles.
" What? No way." Stiles says as I bared my fangs.
Scott's being killed. Do IT I snarled, Stiles quickly then broke the barrier. I followed Derek to the source. I stayed in the shadows. I saw run out of the room. I smelt blood before Derek had Scott in his arms.
" Deaton." I say as Derek and I quickly went to the vet clinic.
" What happened?" Deaton asked as I got the metal table. Derek set Scott down.
" Argent tried poisoning him with vapor wolfsbane." Derek says as I sat down.
" Which one?" Deaton asked as I looked up.
" The Wife ." I replied as Derek sat down with me. We watched Deaton work on Scott.
" Thank you." I say as Deaton looked at me. He then walked away. It wasn't long before Scott got up and the three of us headed to the substation.
