  "DUDE I JUST talked to my dad, who just talked to Jackson, and I've got really terrible, horrible very, very bad news." Stiles spoke, rushing into the classroom, taking the spot behind Scott and beside Ariella. "I think we already know," Scott said, pointing to Isaac who was sat in front of Ariella.  

  That class felt incredibly long for Ariella and immediately as the bell rang she sprung up along with Scott and Stiles. "All right, I only found one thing online called the Kanima. It's a were-jaguar from South America that goes after murderers." Stiles explained to the two. "That thing was not a jaguar." Scott spoke while Ariella nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, and I'm not exactly a murderer." Stiles said, pointing to himself. "Yeah, but you did see it kill somebody, which is probably why it tried to kill you. And it's still trying to kill you, and it probably won't stop until you're dead. " Scott spoke, not paying attention to the concerned look on Stiles' face. 

  "You know sometimes I really begin to question this, 'friendship.'" Stiles said before sharing an annoyed look with Ariella as they made their way to their next class. 

  Ariella was sat behind Stiles when Jackson came and sat in the seat beside her, which also happened to be behind Scott. "Hey, testicle left and right... and Ariella." Jackson said, rolling his eyes at Ariella who flipped him off instead of looking at him.

   "What the hell is a Kanima?" Jackson asked, immediately causing the three friends to look at him in shock before Coach slammed a book on the desk causing their attention to go to the teacher. 

  "A quick warning before we begin our review. Some of you, like McCall, might want to start their own study groups, because tomorrow's midterm is so profoundly difficult, I'm not even too sure I could pass it." Coach said causing Ariella to scoff. "Okay, I need a volunteer at the board to answer the first questioned.  Who's got it, huh?" Coach asked as people raised their hands.

  Coach had picked Lydia and another boy to go up to the board. 

  The trio turned their attention back to Jackson. He then went on to explain to them how Derek 'tested' him, but using Kanima venom and paralyzing him. "Paralyzed from the neck down. Do you have any idea what that feels like?" Jackson questioned them, Ariella and Stiles gave him a look. 

   A look that read, we know exactly what that feels like.

  Something nobody knew is that Derek tested Ariella and Jess too, and she was extremely pissed at the man. He told them he wanted to test them just to make sure a hundred percent they weren't the Kanima, and Ariella knew she wasn't so she thought the entire thing was pointless.

  Jess agreed almost instantly but Ariella was quick to say no. She did not want to be paralyzed especially around everyone. While Jess was paralyzed, Ariella and Derek stood in a train car where Derek and Ariella were arguing. 

  After what seemed like forever, Ariella agreed but only if he carried her somewhere comfy to lay on which just so happened to be Derek's bed.

  At least one good thing came out of it.

  What she wasn't aware of though, was that he was testing out her friends around her too. Technically Jackson wasn't her friend, but she still didn't think it was necessary to test him. He may be a bad person... and boyfriend, and friend but that doesn't mean he is the Kanima.

   Oh, how wrong was she.

  "I'm familiar with the sensation." Stiles spoke and Ariella slightly nodded in agreement, but not enough for anyone to notice. "Wait, why would Derek test you? Why would he think that it's you?" Scott asked the Whittemore boy. "How should I know?" Jackson spoke bitterly.
