How the HELL are we supposed to wait until next summer? *sobs*

Since I seemed to have lost a lot of readers/reviewers, I think I'm going to put some focus back on my other fics. I think I will go to updating once a week, so keep an eye out the beginning of each week.

I'm trying to incorporate the FB game and the series, so some incidents may seem off or not in place properly, but don't worry, I'll get it all in there LOL.

… … …

Stiles grabbed his laptop and met the other two out at Scott's car. Cat was still in her wet pants but Scott had lent her his jacket which she had zipped up, taking off her wet shirt underneath. Stiles opened up the laptop and handed it off to Cat who plugged in the thumb drive and brought the information up onto the screen. The guys looked at it over her shoulder, staring in confusion.

"Is that even a language?" Stiles asked in frustration.

"Yes." Cat replied. "Latin. Archaic Latin I think."

"So you can translate it?" Scott hopefully asked.

She shook her head. "no, I cannot. I know some Latin but this is far beyond anything I know."

"How are we supposed to figure out what this thing is?" Scott sounded frustrated now as he watched Cat flip through the pages.

"It's called a Kanima."

The three looked up to see Derek and Erica approaching. Stiles shook his head in disbelief when he realized what Derek had said.

"You knew the whole time."

"No, only when it was confused by its own reflection."

"It doesn't know what it is." Scott realized.

"Or who." Derek told them.

"What else do you know?" Stiles asked.

Derek shook his head. "Just stories, rumors."

Scott looked thoroughly confused. "But it's like us?"

"A shapeshifter, yes." Derek confirmed. "But it's not right. It's like a-" he stopped unsure of how to say it.

"Abomination?" Cat supplied.

Derek stared at her before nodding. He glanced at Erica and the two turned away, stopping when Scott called him back.

"We need to work together on this. Maybe even tell the Argents."

"No." Cat cried. She didn't want to work with either of them, too afraid for not only her but Scott as well.

Derek glanced at her before glaring at Scott. "You trust them?"

"Nobody. Trusts. Anyone." He looked at Derek before glancing at her. "That's the problem. While we're here arguing about who's on what side, there's something out there scarier, faster and stronger than any of us that's killing people, and we still don't know anything about it."

"I know one thing." Derek said in a dangerously low voice. "When I find it, I'm going to kill it." He turned and walked away, Erica following him.

"I trust you." Cat whispered as soon as they were out of earshot. "I don't trust them. All we need to do is figure out who it is."

"But how?' Scott asked turning on her.

"Get me close enough to-"

"No, don't even finish that. Stiles, you okay getting home?"

He nodded, grabbing his laptop and waving a goodbye to both of them as he moved off to his dads car that he had borrowed, his jeep still impounded.

"I'll give you a ride home." Scott said, motioning her into the car. "We need to go drop food off for my mom at the hospital though."

She got in the car and waited until he was driving before bringing up the idea again.

"One touch is all I need." She told him.

"No." He snapped, his knuckles going white as he clenched the steering wheel tighter.

"Why? This could change everything." She argued.

"And get you killed. I won't risk that. End of discussion."

She crossed her arms over her chest as she turned to glare out the window, a petulant look on her face. When they reached the hospital, she got out with him, telling him she would meet him back at the car. She needed a bathroom and a drink. She took her time and when she left the hospital, she could see Scott talking to someone who looked familiar.

"Scott?" She hesitantly called out.

Both men turned to look at her and with a start, she realized it was Gerard, but something was wrong. They were standing far too close, Scott looked pained and Gerard looked menacing.

"Ah, Ms. Danvers, what brings you here?"

"Just visiting a friend, noticed Scott out here, so thought I would say hi. I thought he injured himself or something and came here for help" She replied with a smile. "Everything okay?"

"Of course." Gerard replied, mirroring her smile. "Just telling Scott how nice it was to have him for dinner tonight, now I must be on my way. Good night to you both."

He stepped away, turning and walking into the night but Cat was too busy watching Scott, who had let out a small gasp as Gerard had stepped back and turned away. The moment Gerard was out of sight, she rushed to his side of the car, catching him as he doubled over, clutching his stomach.

"What just happened?" She asked.

He pulled his hand away, showing blood on his hand and t shirt and she looked closer to see a knife wound.

"What the actual fuck?" She cried, double checking to make sure Gerard was gone.

"Everything's fine." He whispered, his eyes staring off into the distance in fear.

"Like hell it is. Who does that? At a hospital no less?"

"He knows who I am."

"Kind of figured that." Cat replied, feeling the wound to make sure it had started healing. "Let's get you back to your house."

"Cat." He grabbed her arm. "You can't hang out with me anymore, he knows who I am."

Her eyes blazed with anger. "I don't care. I'm not leaving, we'll deal."

"He can kill you."

"Or he can kill you. Let's fix this then deal okay?"

He didn't answer and she grabbed his arm, pulling on it until he looked at her. "Okay?"

He nodded, still looking worried but handed her the keys before getting into the passenger side.

… … …

Cat hung up Scott's phone, just having left a message for her dad, saying she would be staying at Allison's for the night and not to bother calling, her phone had fallen into some water. She knew her dad wouldn't bother calling, as long as she told him where she was, he would be satisfied. Actually he probably wouldn't even notice if she didn't come home but right now she had bigger things to worry about, namely Gerard getting all knife happy and Scott wanting her to stay away from him.

"Just go home." Scott told her.

She scowled as she started pacing.

"Cat, I'm fine, seriously."

"Really Scott? Because you were just stabbed by your girlfriends grandfather who figured out that you're not who you say you are. I almost drowned tonight, Stiles almost drowned, Derek was paralyzed, Erica was knocked out and that thing threw you around. So you might be fine but I sure as hell am not. How can you even suggest working with Derek or even Allison's family?"

"Well maybe not the Argent's now but Derek, we'll need his help, I can't kill it on my own."

She turned on him with wide eyes. "You can't kill it, there's a human in there somewhere, probably someone we all-oh!" Her eyes widened even more as her conversation with Lydia came back.

"What?" Scott asked, looking at her in confusion.

"Oh my god." She whispered, sitting heavily on the bed.

"What?" Scott asked again, looking more panicked.

"I know who it is." She turned to look at him, disbelief etched on her face. "Scott, it's Lydia."

"What? Why would you think that?"

She quickly told him about the conversation she had earlier with the red head and when she was done both were silent for the longest time, trying to figure out what to do.

"We need to be sure before we tell anyone." Scott finally said.

She nodded. "I know, I can do that at school. As Lydia, I'm fine, right?"

He slowly nodded. "We should tell Stiles and Allison though."

"We can't. Stiles phone was fried."

"We can catch Allison up tomorrow, Stiles is here." He said, looking towards the window.

"Really? It's late."

Scott shrugged and the two waited for Stiles to appear.

"Cat, you're here too?" He stopped, noticing their expressions then the blood on the shirt Scott still wore. "You know, if you were that pissed at him for hanging up on you, there are better ways to express your anger."

"This was from Gerard." Scott explained, standing up and removing his shirt. Cat quickly averted her eyes, knowing she was blushing and not wanting either of them to see but the knowing look Stiles was sending her was all the proof she needed that she hadn't succeeded.

"What? Why?"

"Because he knows who I am. We stopped at the hospital and he showed up and stabbed me, luckily Cat was inside so he thought she was there for something else."

"So now what?" Stiles asked.

"We find someone who knows Archaic Latin?"

"Easier said than done." Cat said. "I can try some of my online contacts but how much do we want other people to know?"

"We'll need a plausible story I guess. What are you even doing here?" Scott asked Stiles.

"News, more news. Apparently the principal going missing was noticed by a few people and now my dad has some guys on the case."

"But that's good, right?" Cat asked, looking between the guys.

"Not if it has something to do with werewolves." Stiles replied. "even if the Argent's were involved, I don't know what they would do to keep it quiet. Cat it's all on you now."

Cat gave him an incredulous look. "Me? Why me?"

"Because my dad asked me when you're in the office because he wants to come talk to you about the disappearance."

"What? Again, Why me?"

"Well teachers too but he wants to talk to someone in the office that was there before Gerard. Erica quit and I heard the secretary quit too."

Cat frowned. "Seriously? This does not bode well for me in that office. Maybe I should quit too."

Scott frantically shook his head. "No. That would just make him suspicious. Plus, we need you there, you're our in there and we need a few more things from there. "

"Until he does what Derek said he would do and decide to kill me."

"He won't."

Cat rolled her eyes. "Yet. Especially if I'm seen hanging with you guys too much. I mean, I can play dumb and go with the whole tutoring thing, hopefully that would placate him?"

"We should ask Allison, she might know."

"Except no one can call her." Stiles reminded him. "You can't call and our phones drowned in the pool. That's why I'm here."

"You can call without your number showing up." Cat told them, reaching over and grabbing Scott's phone, she got into it without hesitation.

"How'd you know my password?" He asked in disbelief.

"Allison." Both Cat and Stiles replied.

"Am I that obvious?"

"Yes." They both replied again.

Cat finished what she was doing and dialed Allison's number, not at all surprised that it was picked up by someone other than Allison.

"Hi Mrs. Argent, this is Catalina Danvers, I'm a friend of Allison, sorry if it's too late to call but I was having some issues with some homework that I was hoping she could help me with… oh, my phone is out being repaired and I'm using my dad's phone. It's a work phone so they must have it set up a certain way….Okay, thank you."

She put the phone on speaker as Allison took it.

"Cat?"

"Hey, are you in your room?"

"Yes, I am. What's up? Aren't you ahead of me in everything? How are you feeling? Scott explained the whole seeing thing to me, So I'm not going to pepper you with questions."

"Yes. Thank you. I'm with the guys, we have some things to catch you up on."

They all filled her in on everything that happened that night. Scott didn't want to tell her about the stabbing but Cat glared at him and told Allison herself, ignoring the glare Scott was sending her.

"Oh my god." Allison whispered.

"Do you know anyone that speaks Latin?" Stiles asked.

"Archaic Latin." Cat supplied.

"Not off the top of my head. Let me think on it. But we need to worry about making sure Cat's talk to Stiles' dad goes okay, who is in the video, find out where our missing Principal is and how to stop my family from killing Scott. I've been thinking about the last one since Scott left. I didn't think we were very convincing anyways and was thinking of a way to get my family to lay off of me and him."

"we're listening." Cat hesitantly replied, exchanging a look with the guys.

"Scott needs a new girlfriend."

Everyone was silent, unable to say anything. Cat had a funny feeling that she knew where this was going and she did not want it to go there. At all.

"Just hear me out." Allison continued. "I don't want Scott to die. If my family even thought we were together, they'll kill him. But if he was dating someone else, then he would be safe. Plus it would give me reason to be around him because he would be dating one of my friends and I wanted to look out for her."

And it went there. Cat inwardly groaned, refusing to look at Scott as she answered Allison. "I really hope you're referring to Lydia, or even Stiles."

"Scott won't even make out with me." Stiles reminded her.

"Cat, please." Allison begged. "To ask Lydia would mean that she has to know. You already know, it could have happened while you were tutoring, plus we can keep acting like you don't know about Scott. So in my parent's eyes, you're still innocent."

"Scott was just telling me to stop hanging out with him. Your grandfather saw me at the hospital."

"Visiting a friend. He can't hold it against you if he thinks you have no clue about what Scott is."

"Al, this is not a good idea." Cat warned her. "How am I supposed to pretend to go out with your boyfriend. It will be awkward, it won't seem real and if we try to make it real, you'll end up pissed at one or both of us. I've seen enough movies and read enough fan fiction to know this won't end well." Her eyes widened. "I did not just say that last part out loud."

"You read fan fiction?" Stiles asked with a snort of laughter.

"screw you Stiles."

"Allison's right." Scott said.

Cat's head whipped towards him, a glare already in place, he just shrugged at her.

"Cat, please. I know this is weird, I know it will be weird and I know this is asking a lot but I'm doing my best to keep everyone I love safe."

"This is too weird." Cat muttered before finally relenting. "Fine, no cat fights, no pun intended. No getting mad at me. No hating me and I will play dumb as long as possible. You cannot tell your family that I know who anyone is, if they ask, you are trying to protect me because I am clueless."

"Thank you. I'm sorry for doing this but I really think it would keep Scott safe for now."

"Fine, I'll go out with your boyfriend. And that sounds all sorts of wrong. Can we please get back to the other stuff? Like I can deal with Stiles dad, I can act dumb but what the hell do we do with the bestiary? I can send it to you as soon as I can Allison, see what you can make of it. Plus we need to figure out what to do with the Kanima."

"We need to figure out who it is first, right?" Allison asked.

Scott and Cat exchanged a look that Stiles caught on to.

"You guys already have an idea?"

"I think… and don't get mad but it might be Lydia."

"No." Stiles denied it. "When I looked into its eyes, I saw pure evil. Lydia only has 50 percent evil. 40 on a good day."

"that doesn't mean it's not her." Allison quietly said. "I don't want it to be Lydia, but if it is we have to remember she doesn't know what she's doing."

"So we just need to stop Derek from finding out."

"My head hurts." Cat groaned.

"Do you think there might be a cure in the bestiary?" Scott suddenly asked.

"I dunno, maybe?" Stiles guessed. "We need someone to translate it first."

"Guys, I'm worried we're getting in over our heads. We have so much to deal with as it is. People dying, Derek making new wolves, Lydia going nuts and possibly being the kanima."

"Hey." Stiles exclaimed. "Lydia is not going nuts."

"You know what I mean."

"You never give up. Not on anything. What's going on with you?" Stiles asked.

"Nothing." Allison assured him "I just think this is leading us all into a lot of danger and it might be totally unnecessary."

"You've never shied away from danger before." Scott mused.

"I was always sure before and now I'm not."

"Is this because Gerard is your grandfather?" Stiles asked.

"Screw you Stiles, that's not fair." Allison cried. "Look, I'll do some digging around, see if I can find anything out on the bestiary or the missing principal or the video. But if I don't find anything then we give up all this missing persons thing. Okay?"

Nobody answered until Allison pressed again for an answer. Finally all of them reluctantly agreed.

"We'll talk tomorrow, mom's going to check on me soon. Bye."

She hung up and the three teens were left looking at each other.

"I think I'm going to go home and think this out." Stiles said. "I'll see you guys tomorrow and be prepared to act all lovey dovey."

Cat glared at him as he left before turning on Scott. "Allison's right? Are you insane?"

"Well she is."

"That's not the point. You and I can't pretend to go out. You know this is bad news. You and I alone are bad news." She stood up and resumed her pacing.

"This will be fine."

She gave him a look and he couldn't help but smile as he shrugged. "Okay fine. So maybe a small part of me did this for selfish reasons but I can't just pretend that I'm not in love with you Cat."

"Stop saying that." She snapped.

"Why? Because even though you say you aren't, you just might feel the same way."

"Stop." She cried. "How I feel doesn't matter. What matters is that you're with Allison and she would kill me and quite possibly you or let her family do it."

"Allison wouldn't. At least I don't think so. Just go along with Allison's plan for now, please? We'll deal with the current problems, and then deal with us." He grabbed her arm, pulling her down beside him. "Hey, no vision?"

She shrugged. "Told you I don't always have control over it. I need to figure it out though I mean, I shouted a warning out to Derek before he was paralyzed."

"He touched you?" Scott asked in a dangerously low voice, his eyes flashing amber.

"Yes, to get me out of the way of the kanima." She sighed, reaching for his shirt. "Are you healed?"

He nodded, but let her check anyways.

"Maybe I should go home."

"Don't, just stay here?"

She pursed her lips. She had told her dad she wouldn't be home but that was before all this. She really shouldn't stay now.

"Okay." She replied.

She was so screwed.
