Just Breathe

Chapter 10

Everyone went silent, letting Emma's words sink in. "No your wrong" Lydia said breaking the silence. "He wouldn't kill people like that. He might be an asshole but he's not a murder" Lydia was becoming more and more upset with every word. Emma shook her head, tucking her hair behind her ear.

"I don't think he is a murder. It was like I was seeing two people's minds. The kanima's and Jackson's. He isn't like you guys in the way that he can't control it, not to mention that fact that I don't think he even knows he's doing it" Emma explained, finally recovering from the violent vision. Stiles scooted closer to Emma, wrapping his arm around her shoulders.

"Well then who is controlling him?" Erica asked, crossing her arms over her chest. Emma shook her head, shrugging. "You don't know?" Erica said annoyed, raising an eyebrow. "Just use your stupid sight or whatever" Erica rolled her eyes, pissed she wasn't the most badass female supernatural anymore.

"Erica cut it out" Derek interrupted her, shooting her a scolding glare. "That's not how it works" Derek sighed rubbing his head. Once they figured out who was controlling the Kanima, it would be easy to stop it.

"How does it work?" Isaac asked curiously, stepping closer to them. He had also become closer with Emma, since her entrance to the pack. Sure it was an instinct thing, protect your pack member, but he also sincerely enjoyed her company.

"Well, we aren't positive, but we believe the vision's start with physical contact. The memories and personality then flow into Emma's mind, creating the visions. After she has seen one person's mind, touching them again won't create additional visions." Derek explained her new powers to the pack, to the best of his abilities. 

"Is that it?" Erica asked in an unimpressed tone, Isaac elbowing her.

"We think so" Derek replied, trying to ignore the look that Allison shot him.

"Derek, can I ask you something?" Allison asked, nodding to the side. Derek sighed, lumbering to his feet as he followed her farther into the woods. "You know you might be wrong?" she pointed out when they were far enough away where the other wolves wouldn't hear. 

"Yeah, I know. I just-just don't want to freak anyone out or make her feel like she has to be something else. Not all of them get powers like that" Derek explained, glancing over his shoulder.

"Yeah, well I read up on it in the beastiary. The powers begin with visions, but when controlled right can lead to things like force fields and moving things with their minds" Allison said becoming flustered as she thought about all the possible outcomes. "She could become very dangerous very fast" Allison pointed out, taking the hunters view on it.

"Or very helpful and protective very fast" Derek argued his point. He knew Emma, and he knew she wouldn't hurt anyone. Allison sighed heavily, having trouble believing Derek although she wanted to because Emma was her best friend.

"I hope you're right, because people's lives are at stake" Allison muttered before turning to walk away. Derek needed to figure something out and figure out fast. Emma would have to learn, and quick. Derek jogged until he caught up to Allison, the two finally returned to the rest of the pack. Derek noticed Emma's forehead was scrunched in thought.

"Hey whats wrong?" Derek asked sitting down near Emma. Emma shook her head slowly, clearly stumped by whatever it was that was troubling her. 

"There was one vision I didn't understand" Emma looked up at them. "Jackson looked down at his phone as he walked into this building. The date wasn't from the past. It was tomorrow's date. He was at a club and he paralyzed people as the kanima. That list was including his friend, what's his name?" Emma paused.
