Bumper Cars [Derek Hale]

Chapter 5

I'm in Derek's lair right now and he's trying to explain to me that Lydia, one of Allison's friends is the Kanima.

"How?" I asked.

"Because. A couple months back when the alpha was still alive, he bit her, she was in the hospital for weeks and she's not a werewolf. We don't know what she is. The bite should have killed her or turned her. It did neither." He said.

"Has there been anyone else that the alpha or you have bitten and nothing you can see has happened?" I asked. He hesitated.

"No." He said.

"What's their name?" I asked Derek.

"Jackson." He breathed out.

"Whittemore?" I asked shocked.

"Yes." He said, annoyed.

"What about him?" I asked.

"Well it's not him. We gave the Kanima poison to him and it paralyzed him." He started. "Erica and Isaac are going to test the poison on Lydia today at school. I have to be there and see for myself." Derek said as he got his leather jacket and started out.

"I'm coming." I said. He was about to protest but I walked to his car before he said anything.

It would be about a 10 minute drive to the school. For the first 2 minutes, it was an awkward silence. I cleared my throat and spoke first.

"Soo...." I said.

"What?" He said.

"I don't know. The silence was awkward. Had to break it somehow." I said.

"Oh.. So Cameron...?" He drug out.

"Oh lord. Don't get me started. He's in the past." I said.

"What happened?" He asked.

"He got a scholarship to Stanford for law. We both had a passion for law. He worked hard and actually graduated early and well. He just left. And I got over it after months of ignoring his calls, I moved on. I never got into a relationship with anyone else since then. I mean, I went on dates with a few guys but never really settled. My first two years of college. Everything reminded me of him and when Kate died, I came here and you know the rest. I guess." I said.

"Did you love him?" He asked me.

"Yes. He was my first love." I said quietly.

"Do you still love him?"

"I think part of me will always love him just because of the fact of him being my first love, but not the kind of love that will make me keep going back. It's more like a memory I love." I said.

"Have you loved anyone since then?" He asked.

"No." I said.

"Give people chances. Even the unexpected." He said.

"Like you?" I asked. He looked at me, then turned back to the road.

"Yeah. Like me." He said, very quietly.

We arrived to the school and parked. Derek and I both got out and leaned against the Camaro and looked through a window into a class.

Students were moving around. Isaac sat by Lydia. It looked like they were finishing a project. Lydia looked like she was about to put something in her mouth when Scott abruptly stood up. Not 3 seconds later, she put the thing in her mouth. Nothing happened. Scott looked out of the window. Finally Scott looked away and Derek started to get in the car. So I got in too.

"Do you think she's the Kanima?" I asked.

"I know she is." He said. He drove over to the lacrosse field. Boyd and Scott were there arguing. We walked over there.

"She isn't it." Scott said

"Scott. She didn't pass." Derek said.

"That doesn't mean it's her." Scott said. "I have a theory. She's immune. To the bite. To the poison."

"That's not possible." Derek said. He hesitated. "It's never happened. I've never seen it."

"But you've heard of it." Scott cut in.

"No!" Derek shouted.

"What about Jackson?" Scott asked. Derek didn't said anything. "You're not going to kill her."

"Who said I was going to do it?" Derek smirked. Scott ran off. I started walking away. "What's wrong with you?" Derek called out to me. I stopped. I waited a second to turn around to get my thoughts together.

"Are you completely, 100% sure it's her?" I asked.

"Who else could it be?" Derek asked.

"Jackson isn't totally out of the picture." I told him.

"He was paralyzed by the poison." Derek said.

"Yeah sure. Snakes can't be poisoned by there own venom. But when is the Kanima not the Kanima?" I asked.

"When it's Jackson." Boyd thought aloud.

"My point exactly." I said, turning back to walk away.

"Where are you going? I'm your ride." Derek said.

"I need to take a walk. Clear my head." I yelled back.

"Ok. Call me if you need me." He said. I just held a thumbs up sign. Okay. Maybe not the thumb.... Maybe a finger that's in the middle of my hand...?

But seriously. Why would Derek do this? He's never seen it? Oh please. He hasn't seen everything. Gosh. He makes me so mad!! Anyway. I'm on my way to Scott's. I think they might be hiding Lydia there from Derek and the pack. I think I'm getting Boyd to believe me. I hope so.

They just can't kill Lydia. I don't think she's a Kanima.

She's something more... But what?
