My day started with news of a murder and a werewolf attack. I was trying to find a connection between all the murders when my dad told me about the newest guy, Sean and his pregnant wife, who was going to have to raise the child on it's own.

"Dad, the Kanima has to be stopped." I said, when he told me that morning. "I'm half tempted to go to the Argents."

"Don't yet, Stiles." My dad said. I thought back to my conversation with Scott and Allison about Jackson's possible fugue state. "Remember, Scott's got a restraining order. He can't do anything."

"Hot-headed, werewolf, Scott?" I asked. "Who doesn't listen to anyone?" I stressed the anyone.

Thinking back to the night Scott got his restraining order and got grounded from me.

"No STILES!" She said.

"He really needs to tell her." I muttered.

Allison showed us what Lydia had translated.

"If that means that Jackson needs a few thousand hours of therapy, I could've told you that myself." I said, a little miffed that my bestiary wasn't good enough. "Why aren't we trusting my bestiary?"

"Because the Argents are hunters." Scott muttered.

"Right and my family of Spirit Masters who have worked with and against the hunters for centuries and actually has a readable bestiary is complete crap." I ranted angrily.

Allison got a thinking look on her face. "What if this is about Jackson's birth parents?"

"Yeah. Does anybody actually know what happened to them?" Scott asked. I shook my head.

"But I might know someone who might." I said, thinking of a certain strawberry blonde genius.

"And I'll talk to Jackson. You go retake that test." Allison told Scott. At which point I started a very nice conversation with Anubis about our plans to go train tonight.

"Anything evil." I interjected when Scott was listing things to watch for. I just got my head pushed back through the bookcase.

I went to look for Lydia, as Scott took his test. "Hey Lydia. Lydia. What happened to Jackson's parents?"

"I'm not supposed to tell anyone." She said.

"Oh come on. Someone who says I'm not supposed to tell anyone is always dying to tell someone. Tell me." I said, walking beside her.

"Why do you wanna know?" She asked.

"Because he is a lizard man trying to kill people." I hissed at her.

"Mmm, no." She said.

"No you won't tell me?"

"Yes." She said.

"Damn it Lyds." I muttered.

Erica started following me when Lydia walked away and shoved me into a wall with her claws out.

"Why are you asking about Jackson's real parents?" She demanded. Anubis began growling and snarling at her and his eyes glowed purple.

"Why are you bringing the claws out on camera?" I fired back. Erica retracted the claws. "That's right. You wanna play Catwoman, I'll be your Batman." I smirked as Anubis stopped growling.

"You're a girl Stiles." She deadpanned.

"So, in another dimension, I'm a boy." I said, walking towards her. "Now. What do YOU know about Jackson's real parents?" I asked.

"What makes you assume I know anything?" Erica asked, shifting her eyes.

"Because your father writes incident reports." I shrugged. "Doesn't Derek wanna know who the Kanima is?"

"They're in Beacon Hills cemetery." Erica walked towards the locker room. "You know Stiles. I used to envy. You were a strange kid, but everyone treated you normal." I saw the water on the floor before Scott came through the door with Jackson following. Erica and I broke them up as Harris showed up. Matt gave Harris Allison's tablet. Then we all got detention. Lovely.

__________/\______________

We all filed in for detention and sat down as far as we could from Jackson. Scott was made to move do to the restraining order.

"I'm gonna kill him." Scott said.

"No you're going to find out who's controlling him and save him." I placated.

"No you were right. Let's kill him." Scott said, obviously angry about what happened in the locker room.

"Oh no." I muttered " I still think it's Matt." I said, glancing over at the camera nerd. "I mean, who else know more about cameras."

"Danny said that Matt was the one who found the two hours of footage missing." Scott rationalized.

"Exactly. He's trying to throw suspicion off himself." Anubis sniffed the air before walking over to Matt and sniffing him.

"So he makes Jackson kill Issac's dad, one of Argent's hunters and the mechanic why?" Scoot asked rationally.

I paused before answering. "Because he's evil." I said.

"You just don't like him." Scott stated.

"The guy bugs me." Anubis came back.

"He smells like a car and the woods near where a pregnant woman and her murdered husband where found. It might be him." He informed me.

"See, even Anubis doesn't like him." I said, gesturing to my spirit. "Just look at his face." Scott looked over to see Matt offer Jackson a chip.

"Any other theories?" Scott asked.

Jackson started to have a fit and got out, Harris following. We rushed to sit next to Erica.

"Stiles says you know what happened to Jackson's parents. Talk." Scott urged.

"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." Erica said, putting down the book she was writing in.

"So not only is Jackson rich now but he'll get even richer when he's eighteen... There are some things that are deeply wrong with that." I muttered, gritting my teeth. Scott nodded.

"You know what, I could try and find the insurance report in my dad's inbox, he keeps everything." Erica said, opening her laptop as Scott looked back at Allison.

"Scott McCall, please report to the principal's office." Mrs. Argents voice came over the PA system. We exchanged glances before he left. Erica continued to look it up as I watched over her shoulder. JAckson came in and sat down as Erica pulled up the files.

"Look at the dates." I pointed out.

Erica began reading. "Passengers arrived DOA. The estimated time of death 9:26 pm, June 14, 1995." That got me thinking.

"Jackson's birthday is June 15th." I said, still reading the report. Erica looked at me in surprise and I raised my eyebrows at her. Harris began packing up and I didn't even bother 'cause I know he has something planned because he an ass.

He began laughing as everyone got up. "Oh, I'm sorry. Yes, I'm leaving but none of you are. You may go when you're done with the re-shelving." Harris patted the mountainous piles of books to still be re-shelved. I glared at him as he walked out and got started. I had luckily grabbed a bunch of books that all fit in the same slot and got started. Scott came back terrified and I looked at him before proceeding to fill him and Allison in.

"It means he was born after his mother died, by c-section. They had to pull him out of her dead body." I explained.

"So was it an accident or not?" Allison asked.

"The word all over the report is inconclusive." I informed leaning against the shelving unit.

"So his parents could have been murdered?" Scott asked. Anubis started bristling and growling quietly but I paid it half of my attention.

"Anubis?" I asked.

He growled and stalked away. "Something's happening to Jackson." He informed me.

I turned to Scott. "Well if they were, it falls in line with the kanima myth." I said breathy. "You know, seeks out and kills murderers."

Allison got a look on her face. "But for Jackson or the person controlling him?" She wondered. Anubis got louder and I began drawing on his power.

"We have to talk to him. We have to tell him." Scott said, rushing off to tell Jackson.

"He's not going to listen." Allison warned in a whisper. That's when partial kanima Jackson made the lights explode. I ran to Erica who had been cut and stood protectively over her, snarling at Jackson. Scott got knocked into a book cart and we all watched as he began to write on the board.

"STAY OUT OF MY WAY OR I'LL KILL ALL OF YOU" Erica at that point began to have seizures and I ran over. I picked her up and was taking her to Derek as requested. "Scott, I need you to hold her while I drive." I said, walking away. Scott and Allison had this cute moment then Scott came with me.

At Derek's, Derek broke her arm and made it bleed to get the poison out. I held onto Erica as she screamed and once the poison was out, before she fainted, she said, "I think you make a good Batman." I lay her down to sleep and stood at the entrance of the subway car, watching Scott and Derek fight.

"I'll join your pack on two conditions. One, we save Jackson, not kill him." Scott said.

"And two?" Derek asked.

"We do it my way." Scott said. I slapped my hand to my forehead. "Dumbass." I muttered.
