So cute... LOL... as I've mentioned before, pairings are not set in stone... and if something happens you don't like, keep reading, it may change again ;)

… … …

Parts of her mind were slipping away. She was sixteen, it shouldn't be happening already but then again how many Seers saw the horrific images that she had seen in the last month or so.

Maybe she wasn't totally going crazy, perhaps she was just paranoid. More people knew her secret. How long until the rest of the Argents found out, how long until Scott or Erica were somehow forced to tell Derek about her. When that happened, what would any of them do to her? Would they see her as a threat and kill her or would they try to use her for their own needs.

"I can't pull her out of this." Scott told Stiles. "I'm scared. "

Cat was aware she was sitting on Scott's lap and could distantly hear them talking about her but she couldn't get to them to tell them she was okay. She was aware that Erica was doing better and she was aware they had left, Scott claiming the stress had given her an anxiety attack but she was stuck in a trance, one that neither of the guys knew how to get her out of, one that she didn't know how to get out of. It was like her old school all over again and as time passed, she felt herself slipping further and further away.

"Everything's too much for her. We have to keep Cat out of this from now on." Scott decided.

No. She thought to herself. Please don't.

"We can't." Stiles argued. "One, we need her, two, she won't stay out of it, three, we need her."

"Not if it's making her insane." Scott snapped.

I'm not insane. She wanted to scream, wanting to deny it to happen. I'm not. Please don't shut me out, please don't leave me.

"I don't think she's insane, I think her mind has just had too much for today." Stiles guessed. "Whatever Jackson did to her was pretty bad. Then with Erica, then with you joining Derek's pack, I heard her screaming. She's scared and her mind is probably trying to cope."

"Scared of what?" Scott asked. "Nothing will happen to her."

Stiles rolled his eyes. "She doesn't know that, not to mention she's probably scared for your life. This chick is totally head over heels in love with you. It's quite sickening sometimes actually."

Shut up Stiles.

"Then why is she so mad at me?"

"She mentioned something about sex."

Seriously Stiles, shut up. Why couldn't she get the words out? why was she trapped.

Scott looked at him with wide eyes.

"Not with her but with Allison." Stiles continued. "you're stringing two girls along, even after you told one you wanted to be with her, then, I'm guessing, took her virginity, if whatever I walked in on yesterday in your car bears any significance and considering she told me once she's never had a boyfriend. I'd be pissed at you too."

"I didn't mean to." Scott muttered.

"But you still did."

Cat's phone began to ring and Scott reached through her pockets, pulling it out and putting it on speaker.

"Allison, everything okay? How's Matt?"

"Fine, just a concussion, he thinks Jackson punched him out. Are you guys okay?"

"Kind of." Scott replied. "Derek had to break Erica's arm to get her healing properly and Cat, well, she's not exactly herself."

"And Scott joined-"

He cut Stiles off with a punch to the arm, ignoring the glare he received in return.

"What's wrong with Cat?" Allison asked.

"She's catatonic." Stiles told her.

"What?" Allison cried. "Look, we need to meet up somewhere. I need to show you guys something."

"Not more bad news." Stiles groaned.

"Just meet me, usual spot, okay? I'm on my way there now."

"Fine." Scott said, hanging up the phone.

"What do you think it is now?"

Scott shrugged, turning back to look at Cat who had yet to move since she had finished crying, staring straight ahead at nothing. "I'm more worried about Cat."

"Last time something like this happened, how long did she say she was out of it for?"

Scott groaned. "A week or two?"

"We don't have a week." Stiles cried. "Besides how the hell are we supposed to explain this for a week?"

"I don't know." Scott replied as Stiles came to a stop by Allison's car.

The curly haired brunette came running over to Scott's side of the car, looking through the window at Cat.

"Cat? Talk to me please? I need to ask you something."

I'm here Allison, I'm so sorry.

"What?" Stiles asked her.

Allison reached into her bag, pulling out Cat's notebook that she had found earlier.

"What's this?" Stiles asked, taking it.

"That's what Cat was writing in during detention, except it's like she wasn't paying attention to what she was writing. I thought it was weird and I noticed this while waiting for the ambulance."

The guys opened it, their eyes widening in disbelief.

"Stay out of my way or I'll kill you all."

It was written over and over on the page, even overlapping in some areas and it wasn't in her handwriting at all.

I didn't write anything, I swear.

"What the hell?" Stiles exclaimed. "Is it controlling Cat now?"

No, please don't let it get me.

"I was thinking Cat had a vision when Jackson touched her today." Allison explained.

Scott shook his head, "Or whoever the master is, knows what Cat is and sent a message through her."

"Maybe Jackson was trying to kill her." Stiles mused, rolling his eyes at the glares the other two sent him. "What? Think about it. Cat is our greatest weapon, she knows things before anyone else does, she can see into people's minds and that's dangerous for whoever is controlling Jackson because we can catch him that much quicker."

"But how would they know about Cat?" Allison asked.

"How does it know anything?" Scott shot back. "I don't know but we need to figure out what to do. If the master somehow sent Cat a message then it must've done something else to make her go catatonic, or at least started it."

"Okay, first things first. We need to message her dad and say Cat's sleeping over at Allison's place, that will buy us some time." Stiles said. "Then we need to figure out how to bring her out of this."

"I need to go." Allison told them. "My parents are expecting me home. Good luck, I'll see you guys tomorrow."

She left and the Stiles drove to Scott's house. Scott would sneak Cat into his room and hope that his mom had already left for work.

Cat heard all the plans but everything was getting fuzzy, she felt further away then before and she knew she didn't have much longer until she was gone.

"Let me know if you can wake her up." Stiles told him as he got out and gathered Cat into his arms.

"I will." He said goodbye, and went into his room, noticing that a lot of things were out of place as though someone had gone through his room before halfheartedly putting it back together. His mom wasn't one to pry but with him saying barely anything, it looked like she had gone through his room looking for answers herself. But how did she find out about Allison? He placed Cat on his bed, grabbing her hand as his eyes roamed over to his desk, groaning when he saw his box of condoms knocked over. Of course. Now his mom knew, Allison's mom suspected, and Cat overheard everything. He hadn't been lying to Cat about wanting to be with her but things were just… complicated. As most everything else was in his life.

"Cat? Will you please come out and talk to me?" He begged. "I told you I wouldn't let you lose yourself so please come back to me."

Too late. Then, she was aware of no more.

Still getting no response Scott groaned, unsure of what to do now.

"Cat, I love you. Okay? You. So can you please come back so I can show you?" he tried again, hesitating before reaching forward and kissing her, trying to pour everything he was feeling into that kiss, hoping somehow she would feel it and come back to him.

Slowly she began responding to the kiss and when he opened his eyes briefly, hers were now closed. She lifted her arms to wrap around his neck, when she abruptly stopped, pushing him away instead.

"What's going on?" She cried, standing up and looking around. "Why am I in your room?"

"You don't remember?" Scott asked, relieved she was okay but worried at the same time.

"Remember what? Weren't we just in the library?"

Scott frowned. She didn't remember anything after the detention.

"That was a while ago." He told her.

She looked outside, seeing it was dark and frowned. "A long while ago. It's dark. How is it dark?" Her eyes were wide with fear as she looked back at him.

"What do you last remember?" Scott cautiously asked.

"Leaving the library."

"When we left detention with Erica?"

Her brow furrowed. "Detention? Why would I have detention? I've never had detention before in my life. I'm talking about in the morning, when Allison and I went to talk to Jackson. No, wait, I went into the guys locker room and I was alone then all of a sudden I'm kissing you in your room?"

Scott's jaw dropped in disbelief, her mind was missing the whole day.

"What?" Cat suspiciously asked him. "What's going-" She stopped as she realized something. "Oh my god. Scott, how much time am I missing?"

"About 12 hours." Scott told her.

"I've been catatonic for 12 hours?" She cried.

"no, just for the last little while. You seemed fine, if not a little spooked, all day."

She stared at him. "What the hell? Why don't I remember anything?"

"I-I don't know." Scott replied.

"You need to tell me everything you know."

He grabbed her hand, pulling her into his lap as he explained what happened. How she went to go see Jackson alone, how he heard her heart racing and her screaming, the fight between him and Jackson because he thought Jackson had hurt her, then them getting detention and how she ran away spooked when they asked her what she had seen. Then he told her he didn't see her until after school in detention, as he inwardly cringed. He knew he should tell her everything but really, she did have a lot to deal with and didn't want her freaking out more. He finished with the fight in the library and getting Erica to Derek after her seizure. He ended there, omitting the part where he joined Derek's pack.

"Then what made me go catatonic?" she asked.

Scott shrugged. "You were really upset that Erica was hurt and Derek had to break her arm and bleed the venom out."

She leaned her head against Scott's shoulder. "What happened to me?"

"Something did while touching Jackson. You're screaming made my heart stop, I thought he was really hurting you and when I got there and he was naked, I thought he was forcing himself on you."

She made a face. "A naked Jackson? Kind of glad I don't remember that, once was enough for me but what the hell?"

"We think whoever is controlling Jackson knows that you're a Seer."

"How?" She whispered, unable to stop the shiver that ran down her spine.

"We don't know but it would explain your weird behavior and the time you don't remember. There's more. While we were in detention, you were writing in a book that Allison found after." He grabbed the book, opening it up for her and she stared at it in confusion.

"Stay out of my way or I'll kill you all? Why would I write this? I don't want to kill anyone."

"No but whoever is controlling Jackson does. Jackson wrote this exact thing on the chalkboard. That's why we think the Kanima's master knows about you."

She shook her head, standing up and pacing around Scott's room. "No. No, no, no, no. This is bad, so bad. I'm going to start hyperventilating."

"I'm going to protect you." Scott told her. "Actually, I'd feel better if you just stay out of it from now on."

Cat looked at him sharply. "No. I can't and you know I can't."

He sighed, wanting to argue but knowing it was a losing battle. "I know but I had to try."

"It's starting, isn't it?" She quietly asked after a few moments of silence

"What?"

"I'm losing my mind, aren't I?"

"No." He vehemently replied. "You're not. Your mind was messed with by someone or something powerful, that's all. That doesn't mean you're losing your mind."

She shook her head. "Doesn't it? I feel like I was mind raped except I don't remember I'm just all fuzzy and I'm scared. I'm so scared."

He stood up and stopped her pacing, pulling her to him and wrapping his arms around her. "I'll protect you." He told her again.

"Physically, but you can't stop the mental attacks. I can't stop them."

"Then no more touching Jackson, no more touching anyone you don't feel comfortable around."

She nodded, wrapping her arms around his waist. "Walk me home?"

He pulled away to smile down at her. "Now why would I want to do that when your dad thinks you're staying at Allison's?"

"Really?" She asked with a raised eyebrow, the possibilities racing through her mind. She wanted to forget everything that Scott had told her and knew he would distract her.

He nodded and she walked them back to his bed, pushing him down before straddling his waist.

"Then I think we should occupy ourselves, don't you?"

He smirked up at her, pulling her down to kiss her before flipping them so he was on top.

"Now, that part, I can do." He leaned down to kiss her, happy at the smile now on her face. In the back of his mind, he knew he should have told her everything, including being with Allison and him joining the pack but he didn't want her mad at him again, not when she was the one making him so happy.

He just really hoped it didn't come back to bite him in the ass.
