Deaton grabbed a container of different things and brought them over to the table.

"What's that?" Issac said about to grabbed something, but Derek grabbed his hand and looked at him.

"Don't touch anything." He said and we turned back to Deaton.

"So about the Kanima, you said it was afraid of water, is Jackson afraid of water to?" He asked.

"No, Jackson's the captain of the swim team." Scott said.

"And everyother team in school." Stiles said causing me to hit him.

"Except basketball, that's Simon. Don't ask how I know he was talking about it one day and my headphones are broke thanks to you Stiles." I said before hitting Stiles again and turning back to Deaton.

"So in reality, your trying to catch two people." He said picking up a coin and showing it to us.

"The puppet and the puppeteer." I said understanding what he was talking about. Derek gave me a confused look then Deaton explained.

"Jackson is the puppet in all of this. The puppeteer, which is whoever is controlling him, is the one responsible for all of the deaths." He put the coin down and out mountain ask around it. "Catch the puppet, catch the puppeteer." I looked at Derek and then at Scott.

"Stiles this is were you come in." Deaton said causing all of us to look at Stiles.

"When there inside with Jackson you have to pour mountain ash around the entire place, so nothing supernatural can get in or get out." Deaton said.

"Why me?" He said confused and scared.

"Well for one you're human and because you're not going to be finding Jackson." I said stating the obvious

"OK I'll try." He said not even fighting me on it.

"Stiles you're going to have to believe you can do this for it to work." Deaton said making me rethink all of this. It got quiet and we all looked at each other and then I spoke up.

"So what's our plan?" I asked confused.

~~~~~~
Scott, Stiles, Derek, Issac, Erica, Boyd, and I were at the station and were listening to Scott talk about what we were doing. After yesterday and hearing from Deaton about what we needed to do, we decided to capture Jackson at a black light party that was this weekend.

I kept noticing Derek's eyes not ever meeting mine when we listened to Scott and he also hadn't been talking to me that day. Now I'm not a clingy person, but it was weird. It felt like he wanted to push me away.

After a moment of silence I looked at everyone and they seemed a bit confused about what Scott had just said.

"It's simple, we trap Jackson in a room, inject him with what Deaton gave us and Stiles puts Mountain Ash around the building, we won't be able to leave and neither will Jackson or his master. " I said summarizing what Scott said. He shook his head and we all parted ways.

"Do you think this is going to work?" I asked Derek has we walked around the station.

"I hope so." He said and I nodded my head in agreement.

"How's Simon holding up after yesterday?" Derek asked.

"He wasn't at school today, but he's been saying he had this really weird dream about everything. So stiles and I believe he's trying to convince himself it wasn't real." I said and walked over to a seat and sat down. Derek started to pace back and forth with a concentration look on his face.

"What's wrong?" I asked causing him to look over at me.

"It's nothing, I promise." He said and walked into the cart. I got up and walked out of the station and started to walk home. I was almost home when a car pulled up next to me and rolled the window down.

"Hey need a ride?" Simon asked, I nodded and got in his car.

"My house, no where else and if you tell anyone we're dating, I kill you." I said and he nodded. On the way home he tried to make conversation, but I ignored him and got on my phone.

"So you and that big scary guy?" He asked causing me to look at him.

"What about me and him?" I asked.

"Are you two dating or are you with Stiles?" He asked. I looked out the window and thought about it.

"I'm not with Stiles and the nature of my relationship is not your business." I said has we pulled up at my house. I got out and slammed the down and ran to the front door. When I got in, Scott was in the living room and pacing back and forth.

"What are you doing?" I asked and he turned around.

"Dads coming in a few months." He said throwing a book at the wall. Then a glass cup, and almost another book, but I caught his arm in time before he could.

"HEY....Don't Scott. Just calm down." I said running over to him and grabbing his hands before he could do that again.

"I'm sorry, it's just. He left and he doesn't try to contact us or anything and then he wants to show up and say things are ok." He said making me feel guilty and sad. I pulled him into a hug and held him there for a minute.

"We have bigger things to think about right now. Him coming shouldn't matter right now. And thanks for saving me and Derek from mom. I heard you, but I thought mom was still going to walk in. So thanks." I said and walked upstairs to my room. When I walked in Derek was leaning against one of the walls.

"Hey." I said walking in and getting my pj's and going to the bathroom. When I got out he was still there.

"Who brought you home?" He asked has I sat on my bed.

"Simon, but if it makes it any better I pretty much told him me and you are dating and if he tried anything I would kill him." I said grabbing one of my textbooks.

"You could of waited." He said walking over to my bed.

"Well you seemed mad or thinking about something, I wasn't going to make you lose your concentration." I said opening the book to the page I needed it on. Before I could start reading he grabbed the book and threw it onto my chair.

"What was that for?" I asked standing up.

"I know I'm moody right now, but it's because I'm worried about you and us." He said making me step back and look at him confused.

"What do you mean?" I asked taken back by what he said.

"I've done mean things to your brother, and your friends. And I see the way you care for them and I can barely take care of myself, let alone a pack. I just don't want to drag you down with me and make you regret everything." He said turning around facing the window.

"Hey its ok, we all do things were not proud of, but it makes us who we are." I said grabbing his hand and pulling him around to me.

"I like you for you even tho your an ass, and a pain in the ass. But I still love you, and if I could tell everyone I know that doesn't know about the werewolf thing I would, but you know it has to do with the thing." I said making him smile down at me.

"I still don't understand why you said yes to being my mate." He said has he pulled me into his arms.

"Maybe I just really like you and because I had no choice." I said hugging him back.

"Is Scott ok? I heard him throwing stuff." He asked pulling back and sitting on my bed.

"Yeah, dad's coming and well we really don't want him to. I don't want things to change here." I said sitting on my bed and pulling my legs up.

"They won't change, he'll just get added to the picture." Derek said making me more worried. He pulled me close to him and rubbed my back.

"It's ok, nothing between us is going to change." He said kissing my forehead. I laid my head on his chest and soon feel asleep listening to his heartbeat.
