After Lydia ate the kanima venom with no reaction, Stiles, Allison, Brooke, and Scott needed to come up with a plan. Scott shuts the door behind them as they all enter an empty room.

"Derek's outside waiting for Lydia." He says

"Waiting to kill her?" Allison asks wide eyed

"If he thinks she's the kanima, then yes, especially after what happened at the pool."

Stiles shakes his head, "It's not her."

"Stiles, she didn't pass the test, man. Nothing happened."

"No, it can't be her.

Brooke puts her hands out, "It doesn't matter, because Derek thinks it's her. So either we can convince him that he's wrong, or we've got to figure out a way to protect her."

"Well, I really don't think he's gonna do anything here, not at school." Scott says

"What about after school? What if we can prove that Derek's wrong?"

"By three o'clock?" Stiles says

"There could be something in the bestiary."

"Oh, you mean the 900-page book written in archaic Latin that none of us can read?" He says sarcastically, "Good luck with that."

"Actually, I think I know someone who might be able to translate it." Allison interjects

"Uh, 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 says looking between them

"What does that mean?" Allison says

"That you can't heal like I do. I just don't want you to get hurt."

Allison digs in her bag and pulls out a crossbow, "I can protect myself." Stiles and Brooke tilt their head to the side agreeing. Scott stays silent causing Allison to put her bow down and step closer to him, "What? Did something else happen?"

"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 3:00."

Brooke feels herself become sad watching Scott be protective over Allison. Her heart yearning for the one person she felt the most protected by. She jumps as an arrow flies across the room at Scott. The teen luckily catching it before it can hit him.

The three turn as Stiles brings the bow down. Allison turns and holds her hand out and he shakes his head handing it to her, "Ah. Sorry. Sorry. Sensitive trigger on that."

Allison, Stiles, Brooke, and Jackson look in every direction as they lead Lydia down the hall. Trying their best to avoid Erica and Isaac.

"If we're doing a study group, why didn't we just stay in the library?" Lydia asks

"Because we're meeting up with somebody else." Stiles says

"Hmm, well, why don't they just meet us in the library?"

"Oh, that would've been a great idea. Too late."

"Okay, hold on-"

Jackson grabs her arm, "Lydia, shut up and walk."

Brooke lets out a deep sigh as they finally make it out of the school. The other four heading to Stiles' jeep while she gets in her own car. The twins quickly heading out of the parking lot and in the direction of Scott's house.

Brooke shuts her door as Stiles leads Lydia up Scott's porch steps.

"If we're studying at Scott's house, then where's Scott?"

"Meeting us here, I think. I hope." He mumbles

"Thanks for doing this." Allison says quietly

"I needed to talk to her anyway." Jackson says as they enter the house

They all stand around the door as Stiles shuts and locks it. He peers out the window before turning to the others. Lydia raises her brows at him, "Uh, there's been a few break - ins around the neighborhood."

Brooke steps aside as he grabs the chair beside her and wedges it by the door knob. Lydia raises her brows again suspiciously pointing to the chair, "And a murder. Yeah, it was bad."

"Lydia, follow me. I need to talk to you for a minute." Jackson says

"Seriously? What is going on with everyone?" Lydia mumbles following him down the hall

______________________________________

The sun was beginning to set as the three teens stood by the door. Stiles looking outside the window for any sign of Derek and his pack. There hadn't been any signs of them for the time that they stood there.

"Oh god." Stiles says

"What?" Allison mumbles

"They're outside."

"How many?" Brooke asks

"All of them."

Allison lets out a deep sigh, "Can I see your phone?"

Brooke digs in her pocket and hands her the phone. Allison scrolls for a few seconds before putting the phone to her ear, "It's me. You need to get here now. Right now."

Brooke stands by the other window as she hangs up. Her eyes stuck on Isaac as he stood there menacingly with Derek. Allison steps up beside her and pulls the curtain open further. She steps back causing Stiles to turn to her.

"What are you doing?" He says making Brooke turn to her

"I think- I think I have to call my dad."

"No, but if he finds you here- you and Scott-" Brooke tries

"I know. But what are we supposed to do? They're not here to scare us, okay? They're here to kill Lydia." Allison says

Brooke and Stiles look to each other before he looks out the window again. He lets out a huff while turning to Allison, "I got an idea. Just shoot one of 'em."

"Are you serious?" Allison says exasperated

"We told Scott we could protect ourselves, so let's do it. Or at least give it a shot, right?"

Allison looks to Brooke who nods, "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." Brooke scoffs

"Okay, uh, just shoot one of the other three then."

"You mean two." Allison corrects

Brooke furrows her brows, "Two?"

"No, I mean three." He says as he and Brooke look back out the window and only see Derek, Erica, and Boyd.

Brooke's face drops, "Isaac's gone."

"Where the hell is Isaac?" Stiles says as Allison backs away pulling her bow up. The twins spin around as a thump is heard. Isaac shoved Allison to the ground before yanking her bow out of her hand. He tosses Stiles into the other room before turning to Brooke.

Her eyes go wide as her breathing picks up. Isaac's eyes shined bright yellow as she sank down to the floor with her back to the wall. She sees Allison stand up and creep toward the hall as Isaac stands above her.

"Are you gonna hurt me too?" She says. Isaac tilts his head as she stands up slowly, "Cause if you're going to then just get it over with."

She hears another door slam open making Isaac turn toward the hall. He looks back at her. Brooke shakes her head, "This isn't you. I don't know who you are anymore, but you're not the person I met a year ago."

She sees Isaac's eyes flicker before they go back to their normal blue. His fangs still evident as he takes a step back. Another thump is heard before Isaac is tackled to the ground. A growl is heard as Isaac gets slammed down. Scott stands up and turns to her, "Are you okay?"

Brooke nods as she looks down wiping under her eyes. Allison rushing back down the hall with her bow in her hand, "I got Erica. She's paralyzed."

"Okay." Scott says before running down the hall. A few seconds later he comes back out with Erica in his arms. Allison swings the door open and Scott tosses her outside. He grabs Isaac and does the same sending him next to Erica.

The teens step outside onto the porch. Derek looks up at them, "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."

"I can hold you off until the cops get here." He says as sirens are heard in the distance. They all look up at a hissing noise. All of them stepping onto the lawn just as the kanima crawls onto the roof. It hisses at them before running off into the woods.

"Get them out of here." Derek says to Boyd. They all look to the front door as Lydia rushes out onto the porch.

"Would someone please tell me what the hell is going on?" She exclaims

Stiles looks to Brooke as Scott turns back to where the kanima was, "It's Jackson."
