I almost didn't get this up tonight... It was my bday yesterday... gotta recover LOL. But since it's my bday... think we can get reviews up to 100 before next monday? If we do, I shall post a chapter sooner. enjoy ;)

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.

... ... ...

It was a very rare morning that Cat was on her way to school by herself. Lately, she always had someone pick her up or walk with her but Scott had left a note on her mirror for her this morning, saying he was held up with something and to ask Allison for a ride but she still didn't have a phone so she said to hell with it, she was a big girl and could get herself to school, during daylight hours, all by herself. What had her really frowning, was the fact that Scott had been in her room and she didn't even wake up. She almost always woke up when he came through her window but not this time. Either she had been super exhausted or Scott was getting better at sneaking into her room and she wasn't sure which she preferred.

She almost made it too, until she was stopped by the last person she expected to see there.

"Aren't you a wanted fugitive?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Not anymore, I'm a free man."

Cat glanced at Isaac and continued walking. "How are you free?"

"Let's just say that a witness retracted his earlier statement." Isaac said with a big smile.

The petite girl furrowed her brow. "And your escaping jail and being on the run is just magically forgotten?"

"Weird, right?" He asked. "But they're letting me return to school."

She nodded. "So what do you want from me?"

"Why do you think I want something from you?"

Cat raised an eyebrow at him again. "You've never spoken to me, ever, something tells me you want something from me, let's call it a hunch."

He grinned. "I'm just looking for Lydia's schedule, Erica said you worked in the office still and would have access to it."

"Why do you want Lydia's schedule?"

"So I can get some notes from her, she's the smartest girl in school."

While Lydia was smart, Cat was only slightly ahead of her. It just showed that up until recently, Cat really was invisible. "Gee, Thanks a lot for reminding me that I'm invisible to pretty much everyone but why do you need her class schedule. We all have chem later."

He grinned, "Right, thanks for the reminder but you know, Cat, you're not invisible not by a long shot. Maybe I just didn't have the nerve to speak to you before this." He went to leave but Cat grabbed his arm, knowing there was something else that he wasn't telling her and when she let go, she turned her head to look at him.

"Why do you really want her schedule?"

"I just-"

"Told me a huge lie? I know, now, truth."

Isaac rolled his eyes. "Do you think Lydia is going crazy?"

"I think Lydia is traumatized." She cautiously replied.

"I don't want any wild cards out there that could get me sent back to jail. Or worse, get me captured by a hunter. She's acting nuts. She's drawing way too much attention to herself."

"But everyone is saying it's because she's traumatized."

He shrugged before smiling at her again. "Stay loyal Cat, I respect that."

"What are you talking about?" She asked, thoroughly annoyed.

"You know, there's something I've been wondering about," He continued, ignoring her. "Allison's family has her back, Derek and the pack have my back, Who has Scott's back?"

Her head whipped to the side to glare at him and protest when he cut her off.

"I mean, who with any power to make a difference? And if nobody has his back, who has yours?"

She bit her tongue, obviously, they still didn't know about her. She didn't think she had a lot of power but she did have a leg up on most everyone. Case in point, she knew Erica and him were both looking for Lydia and would find her in chemistry later, she just needed to figure out why but she could and she would.

"You might want to spend some time thinking about that, I mean, you seem to be getting yourself deeper and deeper into some things that are way over your head. At least, that's what Derek says about you."

"Derek said it, so it must be right." Her sarcasm was biting as she glared at him.

"He knows a lot, Cat, think about it."

Before she could say anything, Isaac was gone and Cat clenched her fists as she walked up the stairs and into the school. Stupid werewolves and their lack of really knowing anything.

Her first class of the morning was alone and no one was more surprised than her when their new teacher showed up, Allison's mom. It was like the Argent's were trying to take over the school and now that she knew the why's, it was creepy as hell. After, she gave Victoria a big smile and wave as she left, wanting to get to Chem class as soon as possible to tell them what was going on.

"We have a huge problem."

"How big are we talking?" She asked as she turned to see Stiles and Scott came up on either side of her, the latter putting his arm around her.

"Derek thought the Kanima was Jackson."

She tilted her head to the side, remembering that day he had grabbed and bruised her. "Huh. That would make sense I guess, is that why he was bleeding- Why is none of this coming to me sooner? Am I just that dumb that nothing is cluing in?"

"What?" Stiles finally asked.

"There was black blood found in the nurses office from the break in, right?"

They nodded.

"you remember that bruise Jackson gave me?" She asked Scott, who nodded. "Well when he grabbed me, I saw him bleeding, black blood out of his nose, ears, eyes I think? It was gross. So was it Jackson who broke in? And would all the weird bleeding have something to do with him being a Kanima? Which means Lydia is not it?"

"Ok, first off, we're totally visiting the first part of that later but right now, Jackson isn't the Kanima. Derek tested him with his own venom and it didn't work." Stiles explained.

"Well there goes that theory meaning we're back to our original problem of it being Lydia. Ugh, that's why Isaac wanted her class schedule, huh?"

"When did you talk to Isaac?" Scott asked, looking angry.

"On the way to school this morning? He's a free man."

"How did you get to school?" her "boyfriend" asked.

"I walked, I'm a big girl."

He let out a sound of frustration as they entered the classroom "I told you I didn't want you walking alone."

"And I don't have a phone. You know, Isaac and Erica have Chem with us, right now."

"Cat." Lydia was waving at her. "Come sit here."

She started towards the redhead as Erica and Isaac entered through the back door. She made eye contact with Erica, begging with her eyes to leave it alone as she sat down beside Lydia. There was a mad scramble for the seats behind them, Erica and Isaac getting there first, leaving Scott and Stiles to take the table beside them. Cat turned slightly so she could look at Erica who only smirked at her. Cat slightly shook her head as Lydia leaned towards her.

"Are you really dating Scott? I mean, I thought they were going to try, quietly, you know?"

Cat forced a smile. "Yes, well, didn't work out but don't worry, I talked it over with Allison who was completely fine and just wants us all to be friends."

"I'm just telling you right now." Lydia said, "If you or Allison tried to really date Jackson, I would not be so nice."

"Don't worry." Cat said with a smile as the teacher started talking and Allison came to sit beside her.

"What's going on?" Allison asked.

"Nothing." Cat replied, turning to her notes and scribbling a quick explanation before sliding it over to the brunette, who took it, glancing down at it before nodding.

"Let's see if two heads are better than one. Or in Stilinski's case, less than one." The teacher was finishing up his explanation.

Stiles who had been staring at Lydia, turned to look at Mr. Harris, while Cat and Allison glared at him. Could he really talk to a student that way?

"Erica, you take the first station-" He paused and Cat looked around to see all the guys and some of the girls hands up in the air. "-I didn't ask for volunteers. Erica start with McCall."

Scott rolled his eyes and Erica smirked at him then at Cat.

"Alright the next two, Catherine-"

"Oh for the love of all that is holy, if you can't remember Catalina, then just call me Cat." She stopped, realizing she had spoken out loud and slapped a hand over her mouth in complete dismay.

"You are this close to getting a detention Cathleen." He sneered at her. "Now, Cathy you'll be- would you all put your hormones away? I said no volunteers. Isaac is working with her." Cat turned around to see a lot of the guys putting their hands down as well for her. When did that happen?

"How did you not get detention?" Allison asked, to which Cat shrugged.

"He's afraid to because doing so means he would have to talk to the Principal."

"Now get to work."

Everyone moved to their stations, Isaac pulling up a seat beside Cat.

"Hey." He said with a big flirtatious smile.

"Just do what I say and it'll be over soon." She replied, setting everything up.

"But what if I want to talk to you?" He asked, "I mean, I'm not so shy and finally worked up the nerve to talk to you."

Cat glanced at him suspiciously. "Are you trying to tell me that before all this happened with the getting the bite and me getting a makeover that you actually noticed me and wanted to talk to me?"

He nodded and she rolled her eyes.

"Right, whatever."

She saw him grin and shake his head. "True story, now why don't you tell me about your new relationship that I've been hearing about since I came back? You really are just getting yourself in deeper and deeper Cat, could it be because you want to be one of us?"

He looked to the other side of the room, a smirk filling his features. "Seems your new little boyfriend doesn't like the sound of that, I think he's growling at me."

Cat looked over to see Scott glaring at them and she subtly shook her head at him. He nodded, turning back to Erica, who leaned in close to him, placing a hand on his thigh. Cat looked at Allison who was watching them without really trying to.

"I can hear everything their saying." Isaac told her. "Erica wants to know why he has your scent and Allison's scent all over him if he's going out with you."

"Anyone ever tell you that whole smelling thing is kind of creepy?" Cat muttered.

"She likes you, you know."

Cat glanced up at him. "who?"

"Erica. Even though we're her family now and you seem to be against us, she still cares for you. She always says you're the only one who ever gave a damn about her."

"I'm not against you guys persay, I mean did Scott not want to work with you to stop the Kanima? He did but that doesn't mean you have to kill it and I'm on the side that's all for not killing. So stay away from Lydia." She hissed.

Isaac smiled, ignoring what she just said. "She's pissed off because she thinks Scott is two timing you." Isaac continued.

Cat frowned and looked over at Erica, who looked up at her before turning to Scott, her hand crawling up his thigh. He grabbed her hand and pulled it away speaking loud enough that Cat could just hear what he was saying.

"You're not my type."

She grabbed him by the back of his neck and Cat could see her eyes glow.

"What did she say?" She asked Isaac.

He smiled at her. "She said she's exactly his type. Why not add one more girl who's more his style."

Mr. Harris rang the bell for them to switch places and before Isaac moved, Cat grabbed his jacket. "It's not what any of you think. And before any of you do anything, just wait, please?"

He shrugged, moving on to the next station. Stiles sat down beside her.

"Was that enlightening?" He asked.

Cat shrugged. "He's not so bad. They're just, a little too gung ho and I'm pretty sure Erica wants to beat up Scott."

"Why?" Stiles looked beside them to see Erica sitting with Allison.

"Because apparently Allison's scent is all over Scott."

"Yeah, so?"

"He's my Boyfriend."

"Oh, right. So what? She's sticking up for you? Like she's your friend or something?"

"She is." Cat softly said. "She was my friend before and besides the whole trying to bite me thing, I think she's still trying." She looked over at the blonde, rolling her eyes when she noticed the pain look on Allison's face and Erica leaning in, her hand on Allison's thigh.

"Stop that." She snapped at Erica, just as the bell dinged again. Erica pulled away, startled by Cat snapping at her before she put a smile on and came to sit beside her.

"Hi Catty, looks like we get to finish this off."

"What are you doing?" Cat hissed. "Hitting on Scott, hurting Allison?"

"Her scent is all over him." Erica replied with a frown "And if he's two timing you, I'll make him pay."

"Don't." the smaller girl snapped. "It's not what you think."

Erica's eyes widened. "It's a cover up? But why would you go along with this? It's not hard to see that you're totally head over heels in lo-"

"Stop." Cat begged, looking pained. "Please, don't finish that, it is hard to see."

The female wolf stared at her, cocking her head to the side in confusion. "Why? Why do this to yourself, you're so much better than that."

"I'm just helping my friends, that's all."

"By torturing yourself? Catty, you don't have to torture yourself with us. In fact, I've seen Isaac checking you out. He'd be so much better for you."

Her face went bright red as both Scott and Isaac turned to look at them. Scott looking beyond angry and Isaac with a small, almost embarrassed smile on his face.

"Stupid enhanced hearing." She muttered.

"Catty, please, I don't want you getting hurt."

"Says the girl who tried to bite me."

The blonde pouted. "I wasn't myself, I was upset. You know-" She stopped, grabbing a piece of paper and writing something on it, turning it so she could see it.

I didn't tell Derek or anyone about your- you know. You're my friend Catty."

Cat looked up at her with a frown. "You didn't? why? Don't you have to?"

Erica's lips quirked to the side as she shook her head

"Then please," Cat pleaded, grabbing her arm as the bell dinged again, signifying the end of experiment "Before you guys try anything, you have to give me a chance to find out. Erica, you know I can."

"Too late." Erica softly said, looking in the direction that Lydia was. "The venom is on the crystal."

She turned to look just as Scott stood up, calling Lydia's name.

"What?" The red head asked, looking annoyed.

"N-Nothing." Scott replied, watching as she took a bite of the crystal. Nothing happened and the teens that were aware of what was going on looked on in fear and realization.

Lydia didn't react.
