A Kanima ran down the street with Derek and Malia in pursuit, Naruto was jumping on roofs and telephone poles to observe, and landed to watch as Malia in her coyote form latched onto the Kanima's arm causing it to scream as Malia released the lizard and returned to her original form with her clothes in tatters,
Turning around with her face partially transformed, Malia growled and rushed the Kanima slashing with her claws as the Kanima dodged and smacked her with its tail and slashed her stumbling form with its paralytic claws The Kanima stood over Malia and was about to slash her throat but Naruto appeared and punched it in the back
The Kanima caught onto the wall and loomed to see Naruto and Malia gone, as Derek entered before the two creatures snarled at each other
Elsewhere
Stiles was driving trying to track the werewolves when Naruto landed in front of his car causing him to scream in surprise and slam on the breaks, Naruto with Malia in his arms walked around and put her in the back
"Is she okay?' Stiles asked
"She just needs to heal. Keep her safe." Naruto said closing the door and blurring away
"Do not turn away, go after him," Malia demanded
"I was going to do that anyway," Stiles said following Malia's directions
Naruto arrived to see Gerard standing in front of the Kanima and blurred into the lizard and carried it into a wall
The Kanima tried to scratch Naruto who ducked under the slash before he punched it in the temple sending it flying back, but it rolled onto all fours and sped off
Naruto looked over to Gerard who was looking at him in surprise before the blonde ran off after the Kanima
Later
Naruto couldn't smell the Kanima but he was still the ultimate predator and hunted it to a building but he paused as he saw people entering, and sucked his teeth before Stiles appeared
"Did you see where he went?"
"No, I lost him," Naruto said
"What? You couldn't catch his scent?"
"He doesn't have one."
"All right, any clue where he's going?" Stiles asked
"Probably to kill someone," Naruto said
"Ah. That explains the claws, and the fangs, and all that. Makes perfect sense now." Stiles replied sarcastically as Naruto grinned and looked at him, "What? Nate, come on. I'm 147 pounds of pale skin and fragile bone, okay? Sarcasm is my only defense."
"Okay, okay, just help me find it," Naruto said
"Not "it." Jackson."
"Yeah, I know," Naruto said
"All right, but does he know that? Did anybody else see him back at your house?" Stiles asked
"I didn't even know that he was there but he already passed Derek's test anyway."
"Yeah, but that's just the thing. How did he pass the test?" Stiles asked
"I don't know." Naruto sighed
"Maybe it's like an either-or thing. I mean, Derek said that a snake can't be poisoned by its own venom, right? When's the Kanima not the Kanima?" Stiles asked
"When it's Jackson." Naruto said with a sigh, "This is to weird."
"Uh, dude. See that?" Stiles asked causing Naruto to turn and see him looking at the roof, and Naruto followed to see a tail entering the window
"He's inside. What's he gonna do in there?" Stiles asked as Naruto caught a scent and looked toward the line of dudes
"I know who he's after," Naruto said
"What, how? Did you smell something?"
"Danny," Naruto said pointing as Danny entered the building
Naruto and Stiles went to the back of the club, and Stiles tried to open the door but it was locked, "Aw, come on. All right, maybe there's, like, a, uh like, a window we could climb through, or some kind of,"
Naruto walked forward and broke the knob off, "Handle that we could rip off with supernatural strength. How'd I not think of that one? "
Naruto smirked and the two went inside, entering the club Naruto raised an eyebrow as he looked around, "Uh dude, everyone in here's a dude. I think we're in a gay club." he said before he looked to Stiles who was surrounded by Drag Queens rubbing on his shoulders and face
"Man, nothing gets past those keen senses, huh, Nate?" Stiles asked as Naruto laughed
"Have fun." Naruto said walking to the bar as Danny walked away from it, "
"Two beers," Stiles said
"I.D's.' Stiles reached for his wallet but Naruto grabbed his arm,
"1 beer, and a Hennessy. You don't need to see our I.D's." Naruto said compelling the bartender
Stiles watched as the barkeep turned around and grabbed the drinks, "That is awesome."
"That one's paid for." The barkeep said handing Stiles a beer and the two looked over to see a man raise his beer smiling at Stiles
Naruto looked at Stiles and smiled as his glass was handed to him, "Oh, shut up." Stiles said
"I didn't say anything," Naruto replied smiling
"Yeah, well, your face did," Stiles said
"Look at it this way, at least you know the answer that you are attractive to gay guys," Naruto said getting glared at by Stiles before he sipped his drink and the two turned to the dance floor looking for Jackson
"Hey, I found Danny," Stiles said
"I found Jackson." Naruto frowned looking at the ceiling as the Kanima looked down at Danny, "Get Danny."
"What're you gonna do?" Stiles asked only for Naruto to vamp out slightly, "Works for me."
Naruto walked down the dance floor looking to the ceiling as the Kanima stalked across it
"Danny! Danny! Danny." Stiles yelled trying to get through the crowd to Danny
Naruto eyes widened when a fog machine allowed the Kanima to disappear, and as he looked around people began to drop paralyzed along with Danny before Derek arrived and slit Jackson's throat
People began to notice that there were folks paralyzed on the ground and began to scream, as Naruto walked out the back following a trail of blood before he saw Malia standing over Jackson who returned to normal fully healed
"What do we do with him now?" Malia asked as Stiles caught up
Later
Stiles and Malia watched as Naruto talked to Danny before he ran over as Danny was put into the ambulance, "Couldn't get anything out of Danny." he said
"Okay, can we just get the hell outta here now, before one of my dad's deputies sees me?" Stiles asked getting a nod before The Sheriff pulled up
"Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Could this get any worse?" Stiles asked
"Get rid of him," Malia said
"Get rid of him? We're at a crime scene, and he's the sheriff." Stiles said
"He's your dad, do something," Naruto replied causing Stiles to sigh and get out the car
"Hey. What's what's going on?" Stiles asked walking to his dad
"What're you doing here?" Noah asked sternly
"What do you mean what am I doing here? What? It's a club. It's a club, we were clubbing, you know? At the club." Stiles said
"Not exactly your type of club," Noah noted
"Uh well, dad there's a conversation that-" Stiles began
"You're not gay." Noah interrupted
"Wha- I could be," Stiles said causing Naruto and Malia to glance at each other
"Not dressed like that. Now, this is the second crime scene that you just happened to have shown up on. And at this point, I've been fed so many lies, I'm not sure I know the kid standing in front of me. Now, what the hell is going on?" Noah asked fed up
"Dad, I-I-"
"The truth, Stiles," Noah stated
"The truth, all right. Well, the truth is that we were here with Danny. Yeah, 'cause he just broke up with his boyfriend, so, you know, we were just trying to take him out and get his mind off things. That's that's it." Stiles lied
"...Well, that's really good of you guys. You're good friends." Noah said causing Stiles to smile in relief before he tapped his dad's arm and pointed at him before walking to Naruto's car, "I'll see you at home."
Noah shook his head and got back to work, as Naruto drove off
"So what's the plan?" Malia asked
"Kill him," Naruto said
"Cool." Malia nodded
"What, no way." Stiles said causing the two to look at him, "We can't kill Jackson."
"Stiles the guy is turning into a lizard and running around killing people. Just like Peter was." Naruto said
"We can't kill him, we have to help him."
"And how are we going to do that? We can't watch him 24/7." Naruto said
"Okay, we need to take him somewhere where we can hold him long enough to figure out what to do with him. Or long enough to convince him he's dangerous."
"I still say we just kill him," Malia said
"We're not killing him. God!" Stiles replied as he began to think. "Okay, okay. I got an idea."
Hour Later, Woods
Jackson was handcuffed in the back of a police van struggling as Malia, Naruto, Stiles, and watched him before Naruto closed the door to the van, "So kidnapping is the big alternate plan."
"It was the only thing I had."
"He's a lizard, those cuffs won't hold him should he change," Naruto said
"Not the best plan." Stiles shrugged before with a sigh, Naruto got into the truck with Danny's tablet,
"Let me out now!" Jackson yelled
"Shut up, now Jackson you have been killing people, and we are going to need you to stop," Naruto said
"I haven't killed anyone," Jackson growled
"Oh my god." Naruto sighed looking up at the ceiling
Moments Later
"Scales?" Jackson asked in disbelief
"No, more like a reptile. Um, and, uh, your claws have this liquid that paralyzes people, and you have a tail." Stiles explained
"I have a tail?" Jackson asked
"Yeah, you have a tail."
"Mm. Does it do anything?" Jackson asked
"No, not that I know of," Stiles said
"Can I use it to strangle you?" Jackson asked lunging for Stiles
"You still don't believe us. All right. The night of the semi-final game, what did you do right after?"
"I went home," Jackson said
"Are you sure about that?" Naruto asked finally breaking the code to the tablet
'Yes, you idiot. What the hell else would I do?" Jackson asked
"You attacked me and Derek at the school, and you trapped us in the pool. You also killed a mechanic right in front of me, by the way. That was lovely. And one of Argent's hunters. Oh, and last night, you tried to kill Danny." Stiles said
"Why would I want to kill my best friend?"
"Well, that's what we are going figure out."
"What, maybe, you should be trying to figure out is how you're going to pay for a lawyer when I prosecute your asses all the way to jail!" Jackson yelled
"All right, well, tell me this. On the night of the first full moon, what happened?" Stiles asked
"Nothing. Nothing happened." Jackson said
"This looks like nothing?" Naruto asked turning the tablet to Jackson who saw it was the video he made before he watched in shock as he shifted into the Kanima
"Where'd you get that?" Jackson asked
"Danny. Now allow me to explain what is about to happen. We are going to let you go."
"What?" Stiles asked but Naruto held up a hand toward him
"You will begin to take precautions so that you don't change and go out at night and kill random people if you don't then I will put you down. Is that understood?" Naruto asked
Jackson looked at Naruto and down to the tablet as the video was paused on his face in mid-shift, before he nodded slowly, "Good, Stiles will drop you off at your car."
"Why me?"
"It's your dad's van." Naruto shrugged getting out of the van
"Man," Stiles complained walking around
Later, School
Allison was in the office, as her grandfather closed the door and walked over to sit down, "So, who did you say you were studying with tonight?"
"Just Lydia. We're prepping for our world history midterm." Allison said
"History was one of my favorites. Especially military history. Ever hear the phrase, "know thy enemy"?"
"It's from the art of war by Sun Tzu," Allison said
"Very good. Know what it means?" Gerard asked
"In order to win a battle, one must know everything they can about their enemy," Allison said
"Right again. Your father and I happen to be having that very problem. We've got an enemy about which we know next to nothing. It's killed one of our own, among others." Gerard replied
"I've heard." Allison frowned
"Did you hear Jackson Whitmore didn't show to school today?"
"Jackson and I aren't really friends," Allison said
"Hm. Well, his parents called very worriedly. They said he came home this morning and immediately left. You wouldn't know anything about that, would you?"
"No," Allison said
"Well, let me tell you what I know. I know that a teenager's first instinct is to protect their friends. And I believe my granddaughter would always want to protect her friends, even if it meant lying. So, I want to ask one more question, and this time, with a small advantage." Gerard said standing up and walking behind her before he placed his fingers to her neck but Allison slapped his arm away and got up backing away from him with a glare
"I'm not going to hurt you. I just wanted to get a sense of your pulse." Gerard said surprised by the reaction
"I don't care, do not ever touch me." Allison glared
"I'm sorry, sweetheart. That was definitely going way too far. It wasn't right for me to use tactics like that. I'm sorry. You can go back to class." Gerard said and immediately Allison left slamming the door behind her as Gerard frowned finding his granddaughter more difficult then he would've liked
Naruto walked into his class with a sigh, before he took a seat, when Allison walked in, "Nate." she began but paused as the two watched as her mother entered
"I'm afraid your teacher was feeling ill today and had to leave early. So, unfortunately, you're stuck with me as a substitute. Can anyone catch me up to speed on where we are? Mr. McCall, how 'bout you?"
Naruto and Allison glanced at each other before they began to most awkward class ever, and when the bell rung Naruto immediately left as Allison was called to stay
"Allison. We've noticed quite a few calls from your phone to the odd one. Stilinsky." Victoria said
"You told me to keep an eye on Lydia, and he's known her since, like, third grade, so, I'm gonna have to talk to him." Allison frowned
"I know it's hard sitting here trying not to look at him. But think of how strong it makes you. Especially when all these other girls are just letting their entire high school lives be defined by some boy they're just praying will take them to the senior prom."
"I'm strong enough to last till my 18th birthday. When that happens, I will get back with him. And I promise that you will never see me again." Allison said causing Victoria to look at her with a frown as Allison left the class
Woods
Naruto, Allison, Lydia, Stiles and Malia walked into a clearing, "What're we doing out here?" Lydia asked
"Training," Naruto said
"To fight who?" Lydia asked seeing the training post
"Werewolves," Stiles said
"Hunters," Allison added
"The supernatural and humans," Naruto said dropping his duffel and tossing fingerless gloves to everyone along with leg and ankle weights and weighted vests,
Lydia watched everyone get ready and noticed for the first time that Stiles had more muscle on him than before, "Here." Naruto said handing Lydia a vest, ankle and leg weight each being 10Ibs
"You sure about this?" Lydia asked
"Yes, if Stiles, Allison, or Malia won't around you need to be able to protect yourself." Naruto said getting a nod from Lydia before she took the equipment as Naruto stepped back, "First lesson, is to rid you off your fear."
"How are you goi-" Lydia was asking when Naruto with a roar turned into a 7'3" bipedal black furred wolf causing Lydia to scream as she fell back while her scream causing Naruto and Malia to cover their ears in pain
Midnight
In the woods, a man and woman argued in a small house trailer, before the lights went out and the man went to investigate. Looking out the window the wife saw her husband talking to someone in a hooded sweatsuit. The man pointed up and the kanima's tail whipped down from a tree and wrapped around the man's neck pulling him off the ground. The hooded figure then pointed at the trailer. The man's body was thrown through the glass and landed on the table, causing the sobbing wife to scream before her husband's corpse was quickly pulled outside again and the kanima crawled in through the broken window and approached the terrified woman but upon seeing that she was pregnant pulled away and left
Later, Beacon Hills High, Library
Allison sighed as she passed the surveillance cameras and walked into an aisle before she passed her tablet to Naruto who was with Stiles on the other side, "It's everything Lydia could translate. I'm glad she's in on this now, I probably would've had to tell her that we were part of an online gaming community that battles mythical creatures." Allison said causing Naruto to smile
"I am part of an online gaming community that battles mythical creatures," Stiles said seriously causing Naruto's smile to twitch
"O-oh," Allison said awkwardly causing Naruto to snicker as Allison cleared her throat,
"Okay, does it say how to find out who's controlling him?" Naruto asked calming down
"Not really. But Stiles was right about the murderers." Allison said
"Yes!" Stiles hissed with a fist pump
"It calls the Kanima a weapon of vengeance. There's a story in there about this South American priest who uses the Kanima to execute murderers in his village."
"All right, see? So maybe it's not all that bad.' Stiles said
"Until the bond grew strong enough that it killed whoever he wanted it to." Allison finished
"All bad, all very, very bad."
"Here's the thing, though. The Kanima's actually supposed to be a werewolf. But it can't be "Until it resolves that in its past which manifested it." Allison said
"Okay, if that means that Jackson could use a few thousand hours of therapy, I could've told you that myself," Stiles replied as Naruto looked thoughtful
"What if It has something to do with his parents? His real parents." Naruto wondered
"Yeah, does anybody actually know what happened to them?" Allison asked
"Lydia might," Stiles said
"What if she doesn't know anything?" Naruto asked
"Well, he doesn't have a problem with me, so I'll talk to him myself," Allison said as Naruto handed her the tablet
"Okay, but if he does anything, you be careful," Naruto said
"I can take care of myself."
"Allison, if you get hurt I will hunt him down and kill anyone that gets in my way. Please." Naruto said
Later
Jackson was walking to the locker room when he paused as he heard high heel shoes clacking but they stopped and with a shrug, he continued on,
Allison appeared behind the corner with her heels in hand, before she walked forward when suddenly Matt stepped out and gasped, "Oh, you just scared the hell out of me." he smiled
"Sorry, I was I was just, um, I was nothing," Allison said with a fake smile
"Ah, nice heels."
"Thanks. Yeah, uh, my feet were hurting, so"
"Same reason I never wear mine," Matt said causing Allison to raise an eyebrow.
"What?" Allison asked
"Uh, forget it. Hey, did you hear about the underground show? Apparently, they've got some big name spinning." Matt said
"Oh, you mean like a rave?" Allison asked
"Oh, is it still a rave if you don't roll? I just call it a party. But hey, I got a friend who can hook us up with tickets if you're down. Want me to get you one?"
"Yeah. Yeah, great." Allison said dismissively looking to the door and not paying attention
"Yeah? All right, cool. Um, it's Friday, so looking forward to it. Yeah." Matt smiled leaving as Allison blinked in confusion watching him go before she heard gagging and looked to the door before she entered and looked around
"Jackson," Allison called out
"In here," Jackson said before Allison walked deeper into the locker room and found him nude in the shower
Allison gasped and turned away, "Is something wrong?" he asked
"Y-you could've warned me," Allison said
"You're the one that walked into the boys' locker room," Jackson said turning off the water
"I thought I heard you I th- forget it." Allison shook her head
"Did you wanna talk about something?" Jackson asked
"We can talk later," Allison said trying to leave
"No. Let's talk now." Jackson growled stopping her from leaving
Outside
Naruto who had been listening almost vamped out before he stood up and walked down the bleachers and into the school to get to the locker room
Locker Room
"I have to get to cl-"
"Oh, no, no, you don't. No, you have perfect grades. You can skip one class. Are you okay? Your heart's beating like crazy." Jackson asked as Allison continued to try to leave
"I thought you wanted to talk."
"I I I change m-mi-"
"You sure? Because you look a little stressed. Is it Nate? Is it that whole thing? I still can't believe you actually think your little Romeo and Juliet story's gonna last. You know he's eventually just gonna run to Derek and join up with him and his little wolf pack. If you don't realize that, then you gotta be the stupidest bitch in this town. Well, other than Nate since he's a pretty stupid bitch himself." Jackson said as Allison backed away from him
"Stop it. Just stop!" Allison said as she backed up onto a wall and Jackson boxed her in
"What are you gonna do, Allison, hmm when your stupid bitch of boyfriend turns on you? They killed your aunt. They almost killed Lydia. Who do you really think gonna be next, hmm? Not you. No, no, it can't be you, because you're in love. Is that what you tell yourself, hmm? "Nate's different and everything's gonna work out because we're in love." Well, if that's what you believe, then you're already dead." Jackson ranted as he called upon his claws and dragged them down Allison's cheek "I just I just hope your dad has been teaching you moves to protect yourself."
"Actually, he has," Allison said slamming a knee into Jackson nuts causing him to shout in on and back away on his knees before he blinked and looked at her
"Allison? What are you doing here?" Jackson asked putting on some shorts as Naruto entered and slammed the door causing the two to look at him as he vamped out
"I'm fine. Nate, I'm fine."
Naruto shot forward and grabbed Jackson by his throat and slammed him into the wall, but Jackson kneed him in the torso and grabbed his shoulders before he slammed Naruto into a sink causing it to rip out of the wall
Unfazed Naruto kicked Jackson's knee and punched him in the temple, kicking up to his feet he kicked Jackson in the torso sending him through the door
Erica and Stiles jumped as Jackson hit the wall before Naruto with a growl exited the locker room and began to wail on Jackson splitting his lip before they grabbed Naruto and Jackson separating them
"What the hell's going on?" Harris asked walking up as Matt walked over and saw Naruto's backpack with the tablet, and picked it up to see the info on the Kanima, "What do you idiots think you're doing? Jackson! Mr. McCall, you wanna explain yourself? Stilinski!"
Naruto saw Matt with the tablet and snatched it glaring at him, "Y-you dropped it." Matt said
"You and you- actually all of you Detention. Now." Harris said causing Erica, Stiles, Allison, Matt, Jackson, and Naruto to look at him
Later
Naruto and the others entered the library and sat down with Naruto, Erica, and Stiles at a table while Jackson, Matt, amd Allison sat at another
"I'm going to kill him," Naruto said
"No, you're not. You're going to find out who's controlling him and then you're gonna help save him." Stiles replied only for Naruto to vamp out
"No. It's better to kill him." Naruto said his nails lengthening into claws before Stiles put an arm around his shoulder
"You have to calm down," Stiles said
Matt had sent the translated beastiary passage to himself and opened his email to read it, "Kanima." he said causing Allison and Naruto to look at him
"Hey. What if it's Matt? I mean, this whole thing comes back to the video, right?" Stiles asked
"Danny said that Matt was the one who found the two hours of footage missing. Guys a nosey creep but that isn't grounds for him to be some Kanima master."
"He's trying to throw suspicion off himself." Stiles nodded
"So he makes Jackson kill Isaac's dad, one of the argent's hunters, and the mechanic working on your jeep?" Naruto asked
"Yes!"
"Why?"
"Because he's evil," Stiles said watching Matt who put up his tablet and offered Jackson some popcorn chips
"Any other theories?" Naruto asked raising an eyebrow before Jackson clutched his forehead groaning before he left with Harris following
"No one leaves their seats," Harris ordered as Naruto looked to Erica
"Stiles says you know how Jackson's parents died," Naruto said
"Maybe." Erica smirked watching as the two continued to look at her, "It was a car accident. My dad was the insurance investigator, and every time he sees Jackson drive by in his Porsche, he makes some comment about the huge settlement he'll be getting when he's 18."
"So not only is Jackson rich now, but he's getting even richer at 18?" Stiles asked
"Yep." Erica nodded
"There's something so deeply wrong with that." Stiles contained as Erica got her laptop
"You know what? I could try to find the insurance report on my dad's inbox. He keeps everything-"
"Nathan McCall, please report to the principal's office."
Naruto raised an eyebrow as Allison frowned worriedly as Naruto stood up and left Erica and Stiles to look into Jackson's parent's death. Erica pulled up the accident report on her laptop that said that Gordon and Margaret Miller died in a single car crash on June 14, 1995. It happened on Route 23 past mile marker 2 off Old Deacon Road in Beacon Hills. Apparently, skid patterns suggested that the car swerved suddenly and the driver lost control. Both the driver and passenger were DOA at Beacon Hills Memorial Hospital. Where an emergency C-section was performed and Jackson was born,
Victoria was sharpening a pencil, when Naruto walked up, "The principal wanted to see me?" he asked
"No, I did. I'm concerned about the detention today. How Allison ended up in there with you and Mr. Stilinski."
"Then shouldn't you be talking to Harris?" Naruto asked
"I'm talking to you. A sink was ripped off the wall. You're lucky I'm here to explain that to people somehow. You realize that?" Victoria asked
"Are you saying that you're here to protect me?" Naruto asked incredulously, "Because I could've sworn you were here to make sure Allison amd I weren't sneaking around behind you back."
"How I parent my dau-"
"How you parent your child has nothing to do with me until you began to try to put your racist views onto her. You don't like me, that's your problem, not mine. The disgust in your eyes from when you found out about me is still there so don't try and pretend that you are here to protect me from anyone because I can take care of myself." Naruto glared before he turned to leave
"Are you having sex with my daughter?" Victoria asked causing Naruto to pause
"Excuse me?" Naruto asked looking to the woman who was sharpening a new pencil
"Are you having sex with my daughter?" Victoria repeated
"I'm not allowed at your house, and you have installed cameras in every part of the school when do I have time to have sex with your daughter?" Naruto asked as Victoria pulled the pencil from the sharpener showing that it was now a nub
"I certainly hope not," Victoria said before with a scoff Naruto left
Naruto walked to the library when he heard roaring, "Erica." he said before he sped down the hall into the library to see it destroyed with Stiles and Allison kneeling over Erica who was paralyzed along with Matt while a partially transformed Jackson had a piece of chalk in hand and was writing on the board
STAY OUT OF MY WAY OR I'LL KILL ALL OF YOU!
Naruto glared watching as Jackson dropped the chalk amd escaped through the window,
"Unh!" Erica moaned as she began to seize
"Whoa, hey, hey, hey, hey! I think she's having a seizure." Stiles yelled before Naruto ran over as Allison checked on Matt
"He's alive," Allison said
"We need to get her healing." Naruto said before he grabbed her hand, and looked at Erica, "This is going to hurt."
Naruto crushed Erica's hand causing her to roar in pain, "You broke her hand!?"
"She needs to heal, go get me something so I can suck the venom out," Naruto said causing Stiles to run off amd come back with a container that he hands to Naruto who vamped out and bit Erica's arm before he began to suck black blood into his mouth and spit it out into the container
Later, Derek's Hideout
Naruto and Derek watched as Stiles sat beside Erica's bed, "I'm gonna help you stop him. As part of your pack." Naruto said causing Derek to look at him in surprise, "If you want me in, fine. But we'll do it on one condition. Until we exhausted all other options. Killing him is off the table."
"So where do we start?" Derek asked
"Thinking on it," Naruto said smiling as Stiles and Erica kissed
Abandoned Hale House
Lydia sat in the abandoned Hale House in a trance as she conversed with the burnt corpse of Peter who was buried beneath the house, "I'm so sorry, Lydia. All of this must be terribly confusing. But at least you know that you're not actually crazy. Well not completely. There's bound to be some residual effects, but you're a strong girl. Personally, I think that you're gonna pull through with a minimal amount of post-traumatic stress. Or maybe a few years of profoundly disturbing nightmares. I had a plan, you know. It was a good plan. But if there's one thing that I've learned in life, it's to always have a backup. That would be you. Your immunity makes you a perfect plan b. You wouldn't turn from the bite. You wouldn't die. But you would be able to do One very important thing. Do you know what that is, Lydia?"
Lydia gasped as she exited her trance and looked around before she found a wolfsbane pellet in her hands.
