Scott is thrown out of the room, flung across the open gap above the stairs creating a window to the ground below, his back hitting the wall and dropping photos off. He groans the sound turning more into a growl as he rolls over, a loud roar matching his anger. Isaac slashes at the creature hunched over in Stiles's room, a shirt pulled from the humans laundry hamper torn as it hangs from the creatures large claws.

Derek charges for his beta, tackling the boy as the intruder matches his attack. The creatures claws rake over Derek's shoulder as he pulls himself and Isaac down. Erica roars at the hunched, lanky, furred creature, initially backing out of its grasp and leading it out of the humans room. Derek climbs to his feet behind the creature, as soon as it steps out of the room Cora leaps at it from the right, Jackson from the left. Derek grips his claws into the animals back and drags them downward. A shaking road echos from the creatures lips- it's once hidden tail wiping out and smashing Derek off its back and into the wall.

Isaac roars at the sight, Cora is pulled off with a scream like growl as the creatures claws dig into her side. Her body is smacked against Jackson's and topled the two away, Erica getting swiped away with a large hand as the creature stumbles. A certain Kanima's venom taking action underneath it's skin. Derek growls in success and watches it stumble again, Boyd slashing his claws over its stomach as Liam does the same to its neck. Cora slides on her knees behind the creature and catches its ankles, Allison's knives meeting the animals chest as Scott leaps forward, his claws meeting its shoulder.

The animal hollers a second time, this one as it falls to the floor, groaning and wildering. Derek pulls Isaac up as he moves toward the paralyzed and extremely injured creature. Hovering over the animal he studies it's physique. Long barely furred arms and legs, large back, huge teeth, face of some unidentified creature, multiple eyes and sharp long saber tooth like front teeth. Derek leans back and rolls one shoulder and looks around. The creatures breath becomes labored before it bellows out one last time it's body shaking and bubbling before seemingly melting before them.

"Guys?" A small voice pipes from behind the pack, everyone turning to stare at stiles, hand on top of the rail, panting and sweating like he'd just ran. "W-what is?... are you all okay?!" The human is met with silence and stares as the pack looks from the bubbling mess before his room to the young man.

"What the fuck just happened?" Scott finally speaks as Isaac pushes past desk to run to stiles.

The curly haired blonde wraps his arms over and around Stiles's neck, a whisper like sound filling the humans ears for a split second. Stiles's hands wrap around the pup and squeezes his hands into fists, bunching up his shirt beneath them. Derek continues to stare at stiles who; with wide eyes, stares at the mess just in front of him.

"I just got back from the library and I heard a roar, what.. is that thing?" Stiles continues his questions looking between the wolves and Kanima before him. No answer, stiles only squeezes Isaac a little tighter.

Derek finally speaks. "I have no idea, I'm going to call Deaton, no one touch-... it?" His voice questions the last word. Simultaneous nods from the pack members around him send off the alpha. His pace quick as he passes stiles and Isaac- who are finally separating. Derek marches down the stairs and runs over to his armchair. Phone laid on top of the table next to it he instantly pulls up the vets contact and begins to call.
