Pure Fury
"So this kid's the real killer?" Dad asked. I confirmed this and looked at him.
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Dad, come on. Everybody knows that the police look for ways to connect victims in a murder, okay? So all he had to do is, like look through their transcripts and figure out which class they all had in common." I explained.
"Yeah, except the rave promoter Cara wasn't in Harris' class."
"Alright, okay, you're right, sorry. Then I guess they dropped the charges against him?"
"No, you know what? They're not dropping the charges. But that doesn't prove anything." Dad said. "Scott do you believe this?"
"Oh." Scott looked shocked and I sighed.
"Dad look we saw the kanima protecting Matt at the party. He saved Matt from drowning, sorta and then wrapped his tail around him when Scott saw him outside."
"Well damn. But why?"
"Not a clue. But he took Harris' car."
"What do you want me to do?"
"We need to look at evidence." Scott said.
"Yeah that would be at the station where I don't work anymore." Dad pointed out.
"They'll let you in."
At the station, my dad said we had to get some stuff. Once we were in his office. I stood next to the computer. "We look at the hospital stuff first, okay?"
"Why?" Scott asked.
"Because all the murders were committed by Jackson, except for one, you remember?"
"The pregnant girl, Jessica." Scott realized.
"Since Matt had to kill her himself, somebody from the hospital could have seen him." The deputy waved us through and we got to work. We looked at the camera footage.
"I don't know. There was a six car pile-up that night."
"He had to pass one of the cameras on this floor to get to Jessica." I said. Scott spotted Matt's head but only the back.
"That's him. I sit behind him in history, he has a very distinct cranium."
Dad looked at me as did Anubis. "Are you crazy?"
"Alright, look at his jacket. How many people wear leather jackets?"
"A lot." My dad said.
"Including Derek and his pack." Scott added. I glared at Scott. "Scroll forward he's got to talk to walk at one of the cameras." We went to the next camera footage, where he talked to Melissa. Dad told Scott to call Melissa and she said that she stopped him for tracking mud in the halls.
"That puts him at three murders. The rave, the hospital and the trailer."
"Actually four. We have a receipt signed by Matt for an oil change at the garage a couple hours before you got there."
"Dad. If one's an incident, two's a coincidence and three's a pattern, what's four?"
"Four's enough for a warrant. Scott call your mom back. See how quick she can get here. If I can get an official ID, I can get a search warrant. Stiles, go to the front desk. Tell them to let Scott's mom in when she gets here." I quickly took pictures of all the evidence before going.
"On it." I said. Anubis stayed with Scott and my dad as I went for the front. When I got to the front desk, the deputy was lying on the ground ripped up. I turned to see Matt pointing a gun at my head. He smiled at me and forced me into my dad's office.
"Matt. It's Matt right? Matt whatever is going on, I guarantee there's a solution that doesn't involve a gun." Dad tried.
"You know, that's funny that you say that because I don't think you know how right you are." Matt said with a weird expression.
"I know you don't wanna hurt people." Dad said.
"Actually, I want to hurt a lot of people. You three weren't on my list but I could be persuaded. And one way is to try dialing someone on your cell like McCall is doing." I looked at Scott who pulled his hand out of his pocket. Anubis brushed against my side and I crouched down to bury my face in his fur. "That could definitely get someone hurt." He looked at me. "Is Stiles having one of her panic attacks? Is that why she needs that stupid dog? Phones on the table everyone. Now." I surrendered my phone and passed it to Scott , placed it with his on the table. Next Matt made me, cuff my dad to the wall in the cell room.
"Tighter." He said, with a smirk and the sound of amusement in his voice. I grimaced and did as I was told. Matt shoved us out of the room and down the hall, where we saw the rest of the deputies bodies and Jackson's claws slowly pull one of them out of view.
"What are you going to kill everyone in here?" Scott demanded.
"No. That's what Jackson's for. I just think about killing them and he does it." Matt pushed us back to the office with all the evidence. He made us destroy all the evidence. I deleted the files and Scott shredded all the paper evidence.
"Well Matt. Since all the people you brutally murdered deserved it for killing you first, what ever that means, i think we're good here right. I'll just get my dad and we'll go. You continue on the whole vengeance thing, enjoy the kanima." That's when a car pulled up and I just hung my head. Scott's mum. Anubis shook his head at me.
"Derek." He said.
Why would Derek be here?
"Sounds like your mom's here McCall."
"Matt. Don't do this. When she comes in the door, I'll just tell her to leave. I'll tell we didn't find anything. Please Matt." The door creaked and Scott looked towards the direction of the noise.
"If you don't move now, I'm going to kill Stiles first, then your mom." Matt threatened.
Matt moved us to where all the offices connect and told Scott to open the door. When he did, Derek was standing there before he fell over because Jackson had paralyzed him. I flipped him onto his back and glared at Matt.
"This is the one controlling him? This kid?" Derek asked.
"Well Derek, not everyone is lucky enough to be a big, bad werewolf." Matt said, glaring. "Oh yeah, that's right. I've learned a few things lately. Werewolves, hunters, kanimas. It's like a freaking Halloween party every full moon. Except for you Stiles." Scott looked like he was about to say something but Anubis nudged him. "What do you turn into?"
"Abominable Snowman. But it's more of a wintertime thing. You know, seasonal." I sassed at him. Jackson cut the back of my neck and I fell landing on Derek. "Sorry." I whispered.
"Not your fault." He whispered back. "Get her off of me."
"Oh I don't know Derek. I think you too make a pretty good pair." Matt said. "It must suck though. To have all that power taken away by a little cut at the back of the neck. I bet you're not used to feeling this helpless."
"I still got some teeth. We don't you come a little closer down here. See how helpless I am." Another car arrived signalling Scott's mom and Matt asked if it was her, making a deal not to hurt her or let Jackson near her.
"Don't trust him." I yelled. Matt pulled me off Derek and stepped on my throat. I started to gagged and Scott called him off. Jackson moved us into a different office and Matt shot Scott. My dad started yelling and Matt locked Mrs. McCall. I couldn't hear much but I could hear a lot of yelling. I did hear when Matt said he wanted the bestiary though. Derek and I exchanged a glance and Anubis touched my hand. I started to merge with him slowly, the venom working it's way out of my body. Matt said he needed the bestiary for answers to this, which was revealed to be scales growing on the side of his body. They were like Jackson's only they rippled with blue magic.
"Hey, you know what's happening to Matt? Same as me. He's becoming the kanima cause he killed that pregnant woman and killing people who don't deserve it. "
"The universe balances itself out. You can't just break the rules not like this."
"Will he believe us if we tell him that?"
"Not likely."
"He's going to kill all of us when he gets that book, isn't he?"
"Yep." Anubis, made Derek's claws come out and stabbed him in the leg with them. "What?"
"Almost all my venom's gone because of Anubis, you need to start the healing factor as well." I explained. I heard Matt's story and felt no remorse.
"So is that hypothetical situation getting any less hypothetical?" I asked.
"I think so. I can move my toes." Derek said.
"Derek, I can move my arms." I demonstrated my hitting him with my elbow. That's when the lights went out. Derek and I looked at each other.
"Argents." We said, simultaneously. Matt started yelling and I stood, pulling Derek with me. Anubis and I completely merged. A rain of bullets burst through the the station as I sat Derek up. "Take Derek I said, leading Jackson off. Every door I shut, Jackson broke. I eventually lost him but he probably went after someone else. I walked to the cell room and attacked Matt after he hit my dad. I growled and looked at Mrs. McCall, who say my purple eyes and screamed. Then Derek and Jackson showed up and we started fighting that. I pulled Jackson off the bars as Scott knocked him away and Mrs.McCall saw Scott. I went after the kanima with Derek and Scott soon followed. Derek pulled me aside and we heard Scott and Gerard's conversation.
"Oh my god." I muttered, leaning against Derek.
"Did you know?" Derek demanded.
"No. He didn't say a thing." I muttered, angry at Scott.
