Stiles POV: After class Allison Stiles and Scott all went into Coach's empty office to talk.
"Derek's outside waiting for Lydia" Scott said.
"Waiting to kill her?" Allison asked.
"If he thinks she's the kanima then yes especially after what happened to him at the pool."
"It's not her" Stiles said.
"Stiles she didn't pass the test man nothing happened."
"No it can't be her."
"It doesn't matter because Derek thinks it's her. So either we convince him that he's wrong or we've got to figure out a way to protect her" Allison said.
"Well I really don't think he's gonna do anything here not at school" Scott said.
"What about after school? What if we can prove Derek's wrong?" Allison asked.
"By three o'clock?" Stiles asked.
"There could be something in the bestiary" Allison said worry for her friend in her voice.
"Oh you mean the 900 page book written in archaic Latin that none of us can read? Good luck with that" Stiles said sarcastically.
"Actually I think I know someone who might be able to translate it."
"Um I can talk to Derek maybe convince him to give us a chance to prove that it's not her. But if anything happens you guys let me handle it okay?" Scott said.
"What does that mean?" Allison asked.
"That you can't heal like I do I just don't want you to get hurt."
"I can protect myself. What? Did something else happen?" Allison asked as she pulled out a small crossbow.
"I just don't want you getting hurt. Seriously if anything goes wrong you call me okay? I… I don't care if your dad finds out. Call, text, scream yell whatever. I'll hear you and I'll find you as fast as I can. We have until three."
As Scott turned to go Stiles accidently fired Allison's crossbow at him luckily Scott caught the arrow.
"Ah sorry sorry sensitive trigger on that" Stiles said handing in back to Allison.
Stiles went to find Lydia and keep an eye on her while he waited for Scott and Allison. When Allison showed up and Scott didn't Stiles knew plan B was on. So Stiles, Allison, and Jackson all told Lydia they were having a study group together.
"If we're doing a study group why didn't we just stay in the library?" Lydia asked as they all paraded her out of the library.
"Because we're meeting up with somebody else" Stiles told her as they walked.
"Hm well why don't they just meet us in the library?" Lydia asked getting annoyed.
"Oh that would've been a great idea. Too late" Stiles told her.
"Okay hold on…" Lydia stopped walking but Jackson pushed her from behind to keep moving.
"Lydia shut up and walk."
Stiles got them all into his Jeep and drove off to Scott's house.
"If we're studying at Scott's house then where's Scott?" Lydia asked when they got there.
"Meeting us here I think I hope" Stiles said softly.
Once inside Stiles turned every lock on the door and even locked the chain. When Lydia gave him a weird look he had to think of an excuse.
"Uh there's been a few break-ins around the neighborhood."
Then he put a chair under the door knob.
"And a murder" he said when Lydia pointed at the chair.
Everyone just looked at him.
"Yeah it was bad."
"Lydia follow me I need to talk to you for a minute" Jackson told her.
"Seriously what is going on with everyone" Lydia said as she followed Jackson.
Allison called Scott.
"It's me. You need to get here right now" Allison told Scott as Stiles looked out the window to see Derek and his pack.
Stiles kept checking out the window until he saw that Allison had her phone out again.
"What are you doing?"
"I think… I think I have to call my dad."
"No, but if he finds out you're here… you and Scott…"
"I know but what are we supposed to do? They're not here to scare us okay? They're here to kill Lydia."
"I got an idea just shoot one of'em."
"Are you serious?"
"We told Scott we could protect ourselves so let's do it. Or at least give it a shot right?"
"Okay."
"Look they don't think we're gonna fight so if one of them gets hit I guarantee they'll take off. So just shoot one of'em."
"Which one?"
"Uh Derek yeah shoot him preferably in the head."
"If Scott was able to catch an arrow Derek definitely can."
"Okay uh just shoot one of the other three maybe Isaac. Yes shoot Isaac please."
"You mean two."
"No I mean three. Where the hell is Isaac?" Stiles asked as he looked out seeing Isaac was gone.
"Oh um okay that's a big problem" Stiles said.
"Why is it a big problem? I thought Derek was a big problem?" Allison asked.
"He's a problem but Selene herself has been training Isaac" Stiles explained.
"Yeah okay that is a problem" Allison agreed.
As she took aim with her crossbow Isaac grabbed it from her and threw her to the ground and knocked Stiles down too. However instead of going after Stiles Isaac turned to go after Allison.
Allison ran upstairs to Lydia.
"Stiles! It's here!" Allison yelled down to him.
Luckily Scott showed up before Isaac decided to turn on Stiles. The fight didn't last long before Scott knocked Isaac out. Then he opened the front door and threw Erica who also snuck into the house to attack Allison and Isaac out to Derek.
"I think I'm finally getting why you keep refusing me Scott. You're not an Omega you're already an Alpha of your own pack. But you know you can't beat me" Derek said.
Allison and Stiles stood with Scott on the porch.
"I can hold you off until the cops get here" Scott replied.
In the distance the wail of the cops siren pierced the night.
There was a noise on the roof and Stiles, Scott and Allison ran into the yard to look up only to see the kanima. It quickly ran off and Lydia came running out of the house.
"Would someone please tell me what the hell is going on?"
"It's Jackson" Scott said quietly.
Selene POV: "Scott beat me" Isaac said angry as he walked into Selene's house later that night.
Selene lounged on her couch thinking and planning.
"He's had longer to practice plus he's an Alpha… of sorts."
"I can beat Erica and Boyd though" Isaac said grinning.
"Good if not I'd think I was doing something wrong."
"Jackson is the kanima… how?" Isaac paced.
"Well when is the kanima not the kanima? When it's Jackson that's probably why the venom paralyzed him" Selene guessed.
"I… I didn't attack Stiles." Selene curled up and looked off into space.
"I know… thank you."
Then Isaac went to bed and Selene stayed there on the couch lonely.
