The three of us stepped out of our hiding spot and walked towards Derek and Ms. Blake. Stiles grabbed my hand and put myself behind him just incase anything happened.

"So... they told you it was me? That I'm the one taking people?" Ms. Blake said turning her head towards us.

"We told him you're the one killing people." Scott said with anger in his voice.

"Oh, that's right. Committing human sacrifices? What, cutting their throats? Yeah, I probably do it on my lunch hour. That way, I can get back to teaching high school English the rest of the day. That makes perfect sense." She replied with a laugh.

"Where's my dad?" Stiles eyes glistened with tears. I hugged him sideways and rubbed my thumb over his arm.

"How should I know? Derek, tell me you don't believe this."

Stiles' lips were trembling and Scott had his jaw clenched. Derek looked our way before answering her.

"Do you know what happened to Stiles's father?"

"No."

"Ask her why she almost killed Lydia." I said with confidence in my voice.

"Lydia Martin? I don't know anything about that."

"What do you know?" Derek said, knitting his eyebrows together.

"I know that these boys and that girl, for whatever misguided reason, are filling your head with an absurd story. And one they can't prove, by the way."

"What if we can?" I said as I stepped out from behind Stiles. I looked over to Scott and gave him a nod. He pulled out a small jar with brown powder inside.

"What is that?" Ms. Blake said with confusion in her voice.

"My boss told me it's a poison and a cure... which means you can use it... and it can be used against you." Scott stepped closer towards Ms. Blake.

"Mistletoe?" she said as Scott opened the jar and threw the contents at her. The moment it touched her, it swirled and circled around her. She screamed and kept putting her hands in front of her face. She removed her hands and her face was transformed into that same face I saw when she kissed Stiles' dad.

She moved her head to the side and screamed one more time before her face was back to normal. That's when it hit me. I remembered where I saw that face. In my dream. She grunted and started running towards the door but Derek grabbed her by her neck before she could escape.

"Derek, wait, wait! You need me." She said as Derek pulled out his claws with his free hand.

"What are you?

"The only person who can save your sister. Call Peter. Call him!" she choked out as Derek tightened his grip on her neck. I felt my breathing go unsteady for fear of what might happen. Stiles noticed and gripped my hand telling me that it was gonna be ok.
