The Tell

Derek and Peter sat in the castle's large library sifting through books.

"What are you doing?" Cora asked as she entered.

"Looking through the books we managed to salvage from the fire." Derek said, a bitter edge to his voice.

"We have a book on witches, fairies, sirens, mermaids, nymphs, Greek mythology, Roman mythology, Hunters' Codes but nothing on large Human-sized lizards." Peter said.

"So we know nothing about it." Cora sighed.

"Well we know it is venomous. It's venom causes paralysis and we know what it looks like but nothing beyond that." Derek argued.

"Great." Cora sighed. "Maybe you should advise Isaac to put up a curfew- obviously it is not after any of us."

"But why is it killing all these people?" Derek asked. "What does it want?"

"Can you cover for me or not?" Scott asked. Stiles sighed.

"Yes, I got you covered." He answered. Scott smiled brightly.

"Thanks!" He said before heading to Allison's locker. "Hey Ally."

"Morning." Allison responded as she pecked his lips before opening her locker. Streamers and confetti burst out. Allison made a noise of surprise before laughing. Scott pulled out the present he had in his bag and gave her a dopey smile. "How did you know?"

"I would be a terrible boyfriend if I did not know my girlfriend's birthday." Scott answered as he gave Allison the present.

"Thank you. I usually do not tell people because I am turning sixteen and they never seem to get that-."

"You had to repeat a grade because of your dad's job." Scott interrupted. Allison smiled at him.

"Yeah, you are the first to get that. Everyone always thinks I was held back." She said with a smile.

"Come on." Scott ordered as he grabbed her hand.

"Where are we going?" She asked. Scott did not answer.

"It is a surprise so come on you are driving." Scott said instead.

"Why are we in the woods?" Allison asked as she stopped the car.

"I figured we could have a day to ourselves." Scott answered. Allison smiled and kissed him.

"How about...you are it!" She said as she got out of the car. Scott laughed and went after her.

"There has to be a pattern." Stiles sighed. "Giant man lizards do not kill people at random."

"We could look in a Beastiary." Danny offered. "All supernatural creatures have one, right?"

"Yes...but sadly ours was ruined in the fire. Damn Argent." Peter replied. "How do you know about Beastiaries?"

"Uh, lots of research after Jaxs told me about being a Werewolf." Danny explained.

'Liar!' Peter thought. 'I will have to watch this one, he has a secret.'

"What about the Argents?" Erica asked. "They have a Beastiary."

"Gerard has a Beastiary. Do you think he is just going to let us borrow it?" Derek corrected. "We would have to take it."

"Scott or Allison would have to take it." Lydia said.

"We do not even know where he keeps it." Boyd added. "It is risky."

"We find a connection between the victims first." Isaac ordered. "Find out who the next victim is."

"I have to get home soon." Allison said between kisses. "Come on I will drop you off."

"Do you have any plans tonight?"

"No, why?"

"Danny wants to go to this club- you should come with me."

"I will think about it."

"Is there a problem?" Gerard asked a boy in the hall. The boy was pale with black hair and dark eyes.

"I took pictures of the lacrosse team's practice but all my pictures with McCall in them are...strange, Sir." The boy answered.

"Strange?" Gerard inquired. "How so?" The boy showed him a picture of Scott during practice but his face was blockef out by two bright yellow lights. It was the same in every picture that contained Scott. "What is your name Boy?"

"Matt. Matt Daehler."

"You are not like most are you Matt."

"No, I am not. But neither are you Sir."
