Full Moon //Derek Hale//

Seventeen

It's been a few days since the incident in the pool room, I was currently heading to the school to get Jackson. Derek and I are wanting to test Jackson and see if he was the kanima, so that explains why I'm walking into the little gym room where Jackson was currently bench pressing some over-sized weights.

He started to struggle as I watched, so I took my chance and helped him. I lifted them and put them on the rack.

"Thanks." He said, not looking at me. When he turned around I threw my fist out and knocked him out.

"Any time." I smirked before lifting up his body and taking him to Derek's hideout. I arrived and chucked his body onto the ground, causing everyone's attention onto me. I shrugged my shoulders before bending down next to Jackson, who began to stir awake.

"What happened to you on the night of the full moon?" Derek asked, coming up next to me.

"What? Nothing. Nothing happened." Jackson said, sitting up. It almost sounded like he was angry that nothing happened.

"You're lying." I pushed, standing up and stepping towards him.

"No, wait. No, wait," Jackson whimpered as I bent down next to him. "I can, I can prove it. I taped myself." I busted out laughing at his last statement.

"You taped yourself?" Isaac retorted, a smile on his face.

"Yes." Jackson said in a matter-of-fact tone. "It was the full moon. And maybe while you were curled in the corner having an existential crisis about turning into a monster, I was preparing for the so-called gift your big bad Alpha promised me, and what did I get? Nothing. You want proof? Let me get the video." Jackson sneered.

I believed him, mostly because I had heard from Matt that he had recorded himself and was upset when he gave it to him. I asked Matt if he knew what happened and the only words that he got from Jackson was 'Nothing happened'.

"No. No, I have a better idea." Derek suggested, gesturing for Erica and Boyd to grab Jackson while Isaac came over with the syringe full of kanima venom. A shiver ran up my spine at the thought of being paralyzed once again.

I stepped back as Derek closed in on Jackson.

"What is that?" Jackson panicked, trying to back away from my boyfriend, but went unsuccessful as Boyd and Erica tightened their grip on him.

"You know, Jackson, you've always been kind of a snake, and everyone knows a snake can't be poisoned by its own venom." As Jackson was forced a drop of the venom, our moods dropped as he became paralyzed. A feeling in my stomach caused me to shake my head before spinning on my heel and running up the stairs and outside.

My thoughts raced around my head as I focused on calming down. We still didn't know who the kanima was and we didn't have anybody else to test expect for Lydia. It couldn't be Lydia, could it, I mean, she's too sweet. But then again, she wasn't affected by the bite she had gotten from Peter.

My thoughts came to a halt as another voice filled the dead silence.

"Hey, are you okay?" Erica came up to me and I nodded.

"Yeah, I just wanna figure out who this kanima thing is." I said, dropping my chin to my chest.

"Don't worry, we'll figure out who, and when we do, we'll take care of it." She smiled before giving my shoulder a squeeze and walked off.

I sighed as I leaned back up against the wall and laid my head back. I was too focused on my breathing to care for the presence of another person before I went into overdrive. I grabbed their hand that wrapped around my waist and switched us around, slamming them into the wall with my fangs bared and eyes glowing.
