Camila's Pov
The next day at school
I'm walking with Scott and Liam and we stop outside of the locker rooms.

"Are we stupid for doing this?" Liam asks Scott.

"We're not stupid, we're desperate." Scott states.

"How desperate?" Liam asks.

"Very." Scott says.

"Desperate for what?" I ask, clearly unaware of the plan.

Scott looks at me and sighs before opening the locker room door. I look inside and I see Theo and Tracy.

Without a second thought I flash my eyes red and I growl and slam Tracy up against the locker and pin her there. Liam quickly shuts the locker room door and locks it.

"Camila stop!" Scott shouts to me but I ignore him.

"Cam stop." Theo says and I loosen my grip on Tracy but still hold her to the locker.

"She hurt Lydia." I growl out through gritted teeth.

"I know, I know I was there." Theo says calmly taking a step towards us.

"But I also know that she was having a night terror and had no idea what she was doing." Theo adds and I look at him before I turn and look at Tracy and I drop her back down onto her feet.

I go and stand back besides Liam who wraps an arm around me.

"You okay?" he whispers to me.

"Fine." I say through gritted teeth.

"I told you we'd end up on the same side." Theo says.

"How about I punch you in the balls and remind you we're not." Liam says making me snort but I cover it up with a cough.

Theo chuckles. "I love this kid." he says.

"I don't." Tracy speaks up.

"As per usual nobody cares about your opinion sweetheart." I say looking at Tracy.

"Shut up before I drag your werewolf ass out of the locker room myself." Tracy threatens.

I chuckle to myself before looking her dead on.

"If you think your empty threats really scare me then you should go back to having those 'night terrors'." I taunt her and she growls.

She growls a little louder and I speak up again.

"Tracy, you know the Kanima takes shape of the type of person you are." I start to speak.

"Ok and..."

"Bitch your literally a snake." I state and Liam snorts out a small laugh.

"I put you in hospital before, I can do it again." she growls at me.

"We both know that doesn't concern me
Miss Queen of the Reptiles." I sarcastically speak.

"Well it should because I'm very powerful." she smirks cockily.

I take a step away from Liam and closer to her, causing her to take a step back.

"Trust me when I say you weren't powerful as a human and you will never be powerful as a Kanima. Me? I'll always be powerful, supernatural or not. So if you even think about touching Lydia again or even looking her direction, the cops who find your body won't even be able to identify who's body it is." I growl out at her.

She steps back looking scared and then composes herself.

"I. Don't. Like. Her." she growls to Theo.

"Theo doesn't give a shit if you like me or not because he knows that eventhough you may be in his pack you could never beat me. So I'll say it again so it gets through your thick skull. Don't touch or even look at Lydia or I will end you with the flick of my wrist. Do I make that clear." I say taking a step closer to her so we're face to face.

Tracy shuts up and nods her head slowly.

"By the way I really love your hair today, we should definitely hang out sometimes." I mockingly say before turning around and walking back to Liam, who is smirking at me.

"Damn my girl got game." Liam says wrapping his arm round my shoulder.

"She's not your girl." Theo says through gritted teeth.

"Guys let's just get back on track okay. Theo we know your not on our side, you said you wanted to help Lydia but you left Eichen with something else didn't you." Scott speaks.

"Theo I told you not to take it."I turn to Theo when I say that.

Theo looks at me before turning to Scott.

"You mean the mask." he smirks.

"Are you worried about that?" Theo asks cockily.

"Did you put it on?" I ask looking at him and then Tracy.

"What did you see?" Scott asks.

"Not Mason." Theo says.

"But yesterday you told me Mason is The Beast."I argue.

"I know but I'm not so sure now." Theo says looking at me and then Scott.

"What does that mean?" Liam asks.

"It probably means he's a lost cause." Tracy speaks up and I look at her angrily, unintentionally flashing my eyes at her.

"Like you." I growl out and Liam pulls me to the side, away from the conversation.

"Stop it with your eyes." he says staring at mine.

"I can't." I say trying to blink the colour away.

He grabs my face in his hands and pulls me closer to him.

"Do what Brett taught you." he says and I close my eyes and say Brett's Mantra in my head.

I open my eyes and they are back to normal.

"How did you know?" I ask him.

"Brett told me that besides me and him, you found that his mantra is another anchor." Liam smiles at me and I smile back before looking over his shoulder at Tracy.

"Next time I won't be nice enough to control myself." I say as we walk back over to the group.

"We all want the same thing." Theo says trying to calm us down.

"We want Mason back." he says.

"But the difference is we want him alive." Scott speaks up.

"Well I'm hoping to compromise, you still got the map? Bring it to the operating theatre in two hours." Theo says.

Scott nods and Liam and him go to leave and I follow them.

"Camila wait up." Theo calls after me.

I turn around and tell Scott and Liam to go to class and I'll be fine. I walk back into the locker room and pass Tracy on the way out. Theo pulls me towards him and smashes his lips against mine but I pull away.

"What are you doing?" I ask him.

"Sorry, I just couldn't stand seeing Liam touching you like that." Theo apologises.

"Like my best friend." I say rolling my eyes.

Theo sighs before kissing me again. I kiss him back for a few seconds before I pull away.

"Have you made your decision?" I ask him and he shakes his head.

"Then I'm sorry but you can't kiss me until you do." I apologise and I give him a small kiss before walking back to class.
