Danielle's P.O.V.
I open my eyes looking around to notice that Derek is no where to be seen. I get up and my phone starts ringing. I check the caller ID, and read Melissa.
"Hi, Melissa." I say.
"Hi, um we don't have much time, but can you go over to the police station. Scott called me and I think they found something about the murders. I'm also heading there too." Melissa explained.
"Alright, I'll meet you there." I reply and hang up. I have a bad feeling about tonight.
I get on my bike and head over to the police station. I take my helmet off and notice Derek's Camaro. I sigh in relief, I'm glad he's okay. Tonight might not be so bad. I head over to the entrance and notice that this place looks more deserted than it should be. I see the door open and notice that Derek is lying on the floor paralyzed. I look up and see the Matt guy from detention holding a gun. They all look up at me.
"You never told me Ms.Parker was coming. We could've made some preparations." Matt called out pointing the gun at me and motioning me to stand beside Scott. I obey and move over to Scott looking down at Derek.
"This is the one controlling him? This kid?" Derek asks as Matt leans down looking at him.
"Well Derek not everyone's lucky enough to be a big bad werewolf. Oh, yeah, that's right. I've learned a few things lately. Werewolves, hunters, kanimas. It's like a freaking Halloween party every full moon. Except for you Stiles. What do you turn into?" Matt asks Stiles.
"An abominable snowman. But, it's more of like a winter time thing. You know, seasonal." Stiles replies back sarcastically.
When he's done with his words, almost instantly Jackson scratches the back of Stiles' neck making him fall on top of Derek.
"Bitch." Stiles mutters.
Me and Scott try to reach him before he falls but the Kanima shakes his index finger motioning us not to move. We step back, afraid he might do the same thing to us.
"Get him off of me." Derek complains.
"Oh, I don't know Derek. I think you two make a pretty good pair." I feel my body getting tense with anger as I hear those words come out of Matt's mouth.
"It must kinda suck though. You have all that power taken away from you with just a little cut to the back of your neck. I bet you're not used to feeling this helpless." Matt continues.
"I still got some teeth. Move a little closer, huh? Then see how helpless I am." Derek offered.
"Yeah, bitch." Stiles mumbles against Derek's chest.
I look back hearing a car get closer.
"Is that her?" Matt turns around looking at Scott.
"Do what I tell you to and I won't hurt her. I won't even let Jackson near." Matt says.
"Scott, don't trust him." Stiles yells.
"This one better for you?" Matt turns Stiles over and steps on his chest. I can hear Stiles grunting while struggling to breathe.
"Okay. Just stop. Stop!" Scott shouts.
"Then do what I tell you to!" Matt repeats.
"Okay. Alright. Stop!" Scott yells again noticing that Stiles is barely breathing now.
Matt takes his feet off of Stiles' chest, and Stiles begins coughing trying to catch air.
"You take him in there." Matt orders the Kanima pointing at Stiles.
"You both, with me." Matt orders us.
We make our way over to the entrance of an office. Melissa walks in looking at the front desk not noticing us.
"Mom." Scott spoke up.
"Uh, you scared me. Where is everyo-" Melissa stopped as she looked over at us seeing two guns pointed at me and Scott.
"Mom, just do what he says. He promised he wouldn't hurt you." Scott explained.
"He's right." Matt shot Scott right in his stomach making me and Melissa scream.
"Scott, Stiles! What happened?!" I heard Mr.Stilinski yelling from inside.
"But I didn't say I wouldn't hurt you." Matt looked at Scott.
"Are you okay?" Melissa began to walk closer to Scott.
"Back! Back!" Matt pointed one of the guns at Melissa and one still pointed at me.
"Mom. Stop! Mom!" Scott cut in.
"I said get back." Matt warned Melissa again.
"Scott." Melissa said.
"Mom, do it. Please mom." Scott plead.
"Get up McCall." Matt ordered.
"Matt. Matt, listen to me!" Mr.Stilinski tried to catch Matt's attention.
"Shut up! Shut up! Everybody shut up! Shut the hell up! Now, get up before I shoot her next." Matt declared.
Scott got up on his feet holding onto the bench. Matt led us three into the cell room with Mr.Stilinski handcuffed to a wall and locked Melissa up into one of the cells.
"Please. He needs to see a doctor." Melissa wept.
"You think so?" Matt questioned.
"Hey! Hey, you listen to me!" Mr.Stilinski began.
"I'm alright. It's okay." Scott muttered.
"No, you're not, honey. You are not okay." Melissa argued.
"It doesn't hurt." Scott assured.
"Because that's the adrenaline. Please let me just take a look at him, okay? I can help stop the bleeding." Melissa insists.
"They have no idea, do they?" Matt asks looking at us.
"Please let me just take a quick look." Melissa interrupts.
"Shut up. Shut up. Shut up! If you keep talking I'm gonna put the next bullet through his head." Matt threatens.
"Okay, okay." Melissa gives up.
"Back to the front you two." Matt orders.
He pushes the both of us in the office that Jackson, Stiles and Derek is in.
"The evidence is gone. Why don't you just go?" I queried.
"You think it's the evidence that mattered that much, huh? No, I want the book." Matt objected.
"What book?" I ask him.
"The bestiary. Not just a few pages. I want the entire thing." Matt replied.
"We don't have it. It's Gerards. What do you want it for anyway?" Scott inquired.
"I need answers." Matt muttered.
"Answers to what?" I asked.
"To this." Matt lifted up his shirt as I saw the same skin that the Kanima has forming on his skin.
I hear Stiles and Derek mumbling. I focus on hearing them but I can't. I head out of the office with Scott and Matt.
"I feel sorry for you McCall. Because right now you're thinking. How am I gonna explain this when it heals? You don't even realize how incredible it is that you actually are healing. Because you know what happens to everyone else that get shot. They die!" Matt huffed.
"That's what happened to you?" Scott asked. "You drowned didn't you?" He continued.
"He shouldn't have let them drink." Matt began.
"Who? Matt, what do you mean?" Scott inquired.
"Lahey! He shouldn't have let them drink." Matt blurted.
"Who was drinking?" Scott asked.
"The swim team, you idiot! I didn't know what was happening. I didn't know they had just won state. And Lahey's letting his favourites come over to have a couple drinks to celebrate. Who cares if they're seventeen, right?" Matt confessed.
"Were you at Isaac's?" Scott queried.
"Yes, it was first addition, spider man or... What was it? Batman. We were gonna make a trade. But then I'm over there and I hear music. Everyone's having a good time and I see Shawn, he throws Jessica in the pool. And then Bennett goes in." Matt continues.
"Bennett? The hunter?" Scott interrupts more like asking himself.
"And then Camden. Isaac's darn brother. He grabs me. He thinks it's funny." Matt has tears in his eyes now.
"They throw you in." I finish for him.
"I know that I can't swim but nobody listens. I go under, and I swallow water. No one cares. And I see these bodies underwater. I see Jessica's got her hand down Shawn's boy shorts. Tuck is grabbing Hera. And I'm drowning. I'm dying, and they're laughing! All of a sudden, I'm just lying by the pool. And Lahey is right there in front of me, he says, 'you tell no one! This, this is your fault! What little bastard doesn't know how to swim?! You say nothing, you tell no one!' And I didn't, I didn't tell anyone. I would see them at school, and they wouldn't even look at me. I'd wake up in the middle of the night. I'd gasp for breath. My parents thought that I was an asthmatic. They even gave me an inhaler. They didn't know that every time I closed my eyes, I was drowning... You know about that little white light that they talk about, you see when you die? I didn't see anything. Just darkness. Everything was dark. But then came the Argent's funeral, and everything changed. I was taking some photos. And then appeared by accident, Lahey in some of my photos. I looked down into my camera's screen and I just had this unbelievable rage that filled up inside of me. I just look at him and I wanna see him dead! The next day he actually was. Einstein was right. Imagination is more important than knowledge. When I saw Jackson the next night, it was like this bond that cemented between the two of us. I knew he had killed Lahey for me and I knew he would do it again. So I went to Tuck's garage. I even paid for an oil change. Guess what, he didn't even recognize me. So, when he wasn't looking, I took a shot of him on my camera. Then in a few hours, he was dead. So, I took more pictures. All I had to do was take their picture. Jackson, would take their life." Matt and Jackson were looking at each other now from across the room.
At once all the lights turned off and the alarm started going off.
"What is this? What's happening?! What's going on?!" Matt shrieked following by gunshots breaking the glass windows of the building.
I scurried under a desk covering my ears.
A smoke bomb entered the room erupting within a few seconds. Scott disappeared with Stiles, who is still paralyzed. Jackson followed up with them. I got up still making sure not to get shot. I concentrated on my hearing. I followed a heartbeat into the room that Stiles and Derek were in. I saw Derek with his eyes glowing red. I followed his actions and shifted. We headed in the cell room where Melissa and Mr.Stilinski was. Here, goes nothing. I take a deep breathe and enter. Melissa looks at me like I'm a horrifying monster. Who are you kidding Danielle? You are a horrifying monster, because of Derek. I look up at him and my face softens. Why is this happening? Why am I starting to have feelings for him now?!
Derek roars at Matt as he calls the Kanima over. Derek and the Kanima begin to fight. I make my way over to Matt, scowling at him. I feel like my back has been hit by something. I look back at Derek to see him on the floor. Matt uses the time to hurry out the door. I get behind the Kanima and push him down. The Kanima scratches my neck and I fall to the floor. Why now?! Derek pulls me over to the side of the room as Scott enters and takes his turn to fight. Derek taps my shoulder trying to get my attention. He stabs his claws into my thigh. I flinch at the sudden pain. My thigh heals and I slowly begin to feel my toes.
Melissa sees Scott shifted and steps back, breaking down. Scott looks at her as if he's apologizing and runs out. I run after him, avoiding Melissa. I stop midway and catch sight of Gerard. Scott stops in front of him.
"What are you doing here? It wasn't supposed to happen like this!" Scott proclaimed.
"Trust me I'm aware of that." Gerard spoke.
"I've done everything you've asked of me. I'm a part of Derek's pact, I've given you information that you wanted, I told you Matt was controlling Jackson." Scott stated.
"Leave him to us. Help your friends. Leave Matt and Jackson to me. Deal with your mother. Go." Gerard affirmed.
"You dropped this." Scott stopped midway and picked a pill container off the floor and handed it to Gerard.
"Go!" Gerard repeated.
After Scott left I carefully walked behind Gerard. I saw him head outside and come face to face with Matt, who was trying to run away. Gerard grabbed Matt and pushed him under a stream. I watched as Matt struggled to gasp for air. Soon he was lying lifelessly in the water. Gerard made his way out the water and took off his black leather glove and held it up in front of him. The Kanima came out under the bridge and held his hand in front of Gerard's. I peered at the guy who was standing on top of the bridge. His face seemed familiar. I detected that it was Peter. I gaped in shock. I thought that he was dead...
