Runaway-Isaac Lahey

chapter twelve

CARLAS POV:

A couple of days later with some research, we finally found out what the thing was called. It went by the name "kanima". I wasnt exactly sure what that meant but now we had a name. We were getting somewhere. We also found out that it has a master and was being controlled. We just needed to know who was controlling it, and who IT was. Erika and Isaac were convinced it was me but, Zoe and Reese are convinced otherwise. Derek suspected it was a kid named Jackson, but he was no longer a suspect after he one day had been paralyzed from the waist down.

I think i overheard Isaac saying once or twice to kill me but Erica stopped him saying something about testing me first. Just when i thought Isaac was getting to be a better person. Ugh was i wrong.

We were in economics and Reese had seemed to kind of doze off into her own world. She was like that for a good five minutes or so until she snapped out of it and was at the chalkboard. I looked up after writing notes on what the teacher was saying and on the chalkboard, Reese had written "Someone Help Me" backward all over the board. Once class was over i went to go ask her about it but she seemed to just brush it off and ignore me.

All next class period we would switch around lab partners. We had to make this thing. I wasnt sure of what it was but i had let my partners do most of the work while i sat back and watched. Once the crystal we had to make was done being made, I was told to try it since i didnt really work. I had to eat it. Its like all eyes had been on me. I took a bite and all my friends looked nervous.

Once we got home after school Reese came running into my room and told me that she didnt have good news. "JACKSON SAID THAT I HAVE A KEY TO HIS HOUSE SO HE THINKS THAT I STOLE HIS CAMERA AND TOOK SOME FOOTAGE." Reese and Jackson used to be close until he used her. She then went on to explain he had been recording himself at night for reasons he wouldnt explain. She also was telling me about how the crystal had kanima venom on it because of Isaac. Since the venom didnt affect me they were now super convinced i was the Kanima. Great, just what i needed.

"Hey i gotta go take this." Reese said while leaving with her phone ringing and vibrating like crazy."

"Hello?" I heard her say through the door.

"Get her out of the house! Or keep her in! Just dont let Isaac pick her up. Or Erica, make sure they dont get to the house." I heard Stiles faintly say from over the phone. Then i had realized i left my stuff at school. My homework and bookbag. I slid out the door hoping Reese wouldnt see me.

"Reese ill be right back i left some things at school."

"No dont leave! I need you here for.... Stuff."

"No seriously, ill run there, and be back in a few." The school was right down the road from the house so i would be back within ten minutes. I ignored her and ran downstairs and ran to the school. I ran into a few people but i got my stuff and went to catch my breath and run home. Right until i saw Scott being pushed over by Boyd. Scott said he was fine. I went to go back home but Zoe, Reese, and Stiles were all there and said i needed to go with them to Scotts house.

I looked out of the window and saw Derek, Erica, Boyd, and Isaac all stalking me from outside the house. They were all convinced i was the Kanima instead of a werewolf. Or that somehow i was both. I was pacing around the living room not knowing what to do until i went to look back outside to see if they were gone.

"MOVE!" Zoe said as she started aiming towards Derek with her bow. I got out the way until we all stopped dead in our tracks and realized Isaac wasnt there anymore. I started to look around to see if he was in the living room with us but there was no sign of him. Just then Reese ran up the stairs with Jackson because he said they needed to talk.
