The Other Argent

Restraint

I sat in my room while I was on the phone with Scott and Stiles. I told them what I found out, "If Jackson doesn't know what he's doing, he probably doesn't know that someone is controlling him." "Or he doesn't remember." Scott spoke.

"What if it's the same thing that happened with Lydia when she took off from the hospital?" Stiles said, and I answered, "A fugue state." "He'll have to forget everything, the murder." Scott started and I added, "Getting rid of the blood."

"He had help with one thing, though. The video and someone else helped him forget that." Stiles pointed out, and Scott replied, "Whoever's controlling him." "Are you sure Jackson has no clue about any of this?" I asked my friends.

"He thinks that he's still becoming a werewolf and being with Lydia somehow delayed the whole thing." Stiles informed me, and I suggested, "So, do we try and convince him he's not?" "If it helps us find out who's controlling him then yeah." Scott said, and I asked, "Do you think he'll talk to us after what we did?"

Stiles then scoffed and spoke, "Yeah, it's us, he'll talk to us." "If you're sure..." I said, and they both said, "We're sure." I huffed and bid them goodbye before I hung up.

"So, why do we need their help?" Isaac asked his alpha. "Because it's harder to kill then I thought and we still don't know who it is." Derek informed them. "And they do?" "They might which is why I need one of you to get on their good side." Derek answered him.

Erica hummed before saying, "Definitely not Sydney, that's a job for Isaac. She probably hates me since I threatened to steal her precious boys. So, Scott or Stiles?" "Either." Derek stated, and Isaac spoke, "You know the full moon is coming, Derek." "I'm aware of that."

Derek opened up a chest while Erica and Isaac looked nervously at one another. Erica pulled out some chains and said sarcastically, "Why, these look comfortable." Derek took them from her, and Isaac told, "You said you would teach us to change whenever we wanted." "There hasn't been time."

"But if you have to lock us up during the full moon, that means that you're alone against the Argents. And if Sydney is with them, then you're doomed." Isaac informed him, and Derek started to walk away from them, "They haven't found us."

"Yet, but Sydney has. So how about we forget the kanima." Isaac called to him, and Derek snapped, "We can't! There was something about the way Gerard looked at it, he wasn't afraid. And the way it looked at Sydney... Now, I don't know what Gerard knows, or what he's planning. But I'm sure about one thing, we have to find it first."

I walked into the library with Allison by my side, and we knew we were being watched on the cameras. We slipped next to a bookshelf, and I was thankful that we were hidden from the cameras. I retrieved my tablet from my bag and slid it in the bookshelf, and Scott grabbed it.

"It's everything Lydia can translate, trust me she was very confused." I explained to them through the bookshelf. "Yeah, what'd you tell her?" Scott asked me, and I laughed before answering, "That we were part of an online gaming community that battles mythical creatures."

"I am part of an online gaming community that battles mythical creatures." Stiles spoke, and I awkwardly nodded as Allison said, "Oh, great." "Okay, does it say how to find out who's controlling him?" Scott asked, and I shook my head and replied, "Not really, but I was right about the murders." Stiles fist bumped me through the little hole in the shelf, and I continued, "It calls the kanima a weapon of vengeance. There's this story in there about this South American priest who uses the kanima to execute murderers in his village."

"Right, see maybe it's not all that bad." Stiles offered, but I spoke, "Until the bond grew strong enough that it killed whoever he wanted." "All bad, all very very bad." Stiles commented, and Allison pretended to read a book next to me.
