Another Hale

Chapter 17

"So why do we need their help?" Isaac asked Derek. Derek needed the help of Scott and Stiles to defeat the kanima. 

"Because it's harder to kill then I thought and I still don't know who it is." Derek told him. He walked out of the old metro train ,Isaac following. 

"And they do?" Isaac asked.

"They might." I piped up from my place beside Derek. 

"Which is why I need one of you to get on their good side." I raised an eyebrow at Derek as he looked at me expectantly.

"Scott or Stiles?" Erica asked. Derek looked at her.

"Either."

"You know the full moon's coming Derek." Isaac told him.

"I'm aware of that." Derek told him before opening the chest in front of him. He started pulling chains out for Isaac, Erica, and Boyd. 

"These look comfortable." Erica commented sarcastically while picking up a set from the chest.

"You said you were going to teach us to change whenever we wanted." Isaac said as Derek took the chains from Erica to put it with the rest.

"There hasn't been time." Derek told him.

"But if you have to lock us up on the full moon, that means you're alone against the Argents." 

"Ahem." I cleared my throat. 

"You can't go ,Jess. It's dangerous." Isaac said with a concerned look on his face.

"This whole life is dangerous. I grew up in it. I'm used to it. I'll be fine." I tell him.

"They haven't found us." Derek cut into the moment and walked away.

"Yet." Isaac commented pessimistically. "So how about we forget the kanima?"

"We can't!" Derek exclaimed. "Okay, there was something about the way Gerard looked at it. He wasn't afraid. At all. I don't know what he knows or what he's planning, but I'm sure about one thing. We have to find it first." 

Derek then left the room. Erica, Isaac, and I glanced at each other.

"So who is going to try to get close to them?" I asked. They both look over at me. I caught on to what they were trying to say. "Oh, no. I couldn't. Scott would see right through me. Stiles would know something was up too." 

"I'll do it." Erica offered. 

"I'll see what I can do but I doubt I'll get any results. Erica be ready in case." She nodded at me.

"Hey" Allison walked up to me with a smile on her face.

I looked at her suspiciously. "Yeah?"

"I need your help with something. I need your werewolfiness." She told me.

"With what?" I asked.

"I need to talk to Jackson about his past and lately, he scares me." She admitted.

"Why are you looking into his past?" 

"A thing for Lydia." I heard her heartbeat speed up ,indicating that she just lied.

"Okay." I went with it. I figured I could figure out why in the conversation and she could be my ticket back to Stiles and Scott. I sent a quick text to Erica to talk to Stiles.

I followed Allison quietly. We followed Jackson to the boys' locker room. As we went to walk in the door opened quickly and a boy our age came out. None of us were expecting the other ,resulting in the three of us jumping. Allison seemed to recognize him.
