CHAPTER NINE:
"derek's outside waiting for lydia." scott said.
"waiting to kill her?" allison asked.
"if he thinks she's the kanima, then yeah. especially after what happened at the pool." scott said.
"it's not her." stiles said.
"stiles, she didn't pass the test, man. nothing happened." scott said.
"it can't be her." stiles said.
"he's right, it's not lydia. my hands don't glow around her." marcie said.
"you've never even seen the eyes of the kanima, marcie." scott said.
"but i know lydia, it's not her." marcie argued.
"it doesn't matter because derek thinks it's her. so, either we can convince him that he's wrong or we've got to figure out a way to protect her." allison said.
"well, i really don't think he's going to do anything here. not at school." scott said.
"what about after school?" allison asked.
"we can't just follow her everywhere." marcie said.
"what if we can prove that derek's wrong?" allison asked.
"yeah, by three o'clock." stiles said.
"there could be something in the bestiary." allison suggested.
"oh, you mean the 900 page book written in archaic latin that none of us can read? good luck with that." stiles said.
"actually, i think i know someone who might be able to translate it." allison said.
"ms. morell." marcie said.
"uh, i can talk to derek. maybe give us a chance to convince him that it's not her. but if anything happens, you guys let me handle it, okay?" scott said.
"what does that mean?" allison asked.
"you can't handle it like i do. i just don't want you getting hurt." scott said.
allison looked back in her bag and pulled out her crossbow.
