"You can lie to yourself all you want. But there is no way you will be able to fool your own heart"

Jennifer ran up to Derek's loft and pulled the entrance door open "Derek?" she called out before she ran further inside "Derek, where are you?"

"Right here" Derek said, Jennifer turned around and saw Derek walk up from around a corner, Jennifer sighed "Thank God" she said and ran over before hugging him.

"Something happened at the recital. At the school" Jennifer said and pulled away "Okay, I need to tell you before you hear it, before you hear it from them" she said "From who?" Derek asked "Scott, Stiles. The Lupus twins. They're gonna tell you things. Things you can't believe. You have to trust me, okay? You trust me" she said "What is it?" he asked "Promise you'll listen to me" she said "I promise" he said.

She leaned in and kissed him, but pulled away when she felt that he wasn't kissing her back.

"They're already here, aren't they?" she asked, Derek looked from behind her, she turned around and saw Scott, Harper and Stiles stepping out from around a corner.

"So, they told you it was me? That I'm the one taking people?" Jennifer asked "We told him you're the one killing people" Scott said "Oh, that's right. Committing human sacrifices? 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" Jennifer said "Are we wrong?" Harper asked, Jennifer didn't answer, she knew that they were listen to her heartbeat and they would know if she lied.

"Where's my dad?" Stiles asked with tears in his eyes "How should I know?" Jennifer asked before she looked at Derek "Derek, tell me you don't believe this?" she asked "Do you know what happened to Stiles' father?" Derek asked "No" Jennifer said as she shook her head "Ask her why she almost killed Lydia" Harper said "Lydia Martin? I don't know anything about that" Jennifer said "What do you know?" Derek asked "I know that these kids, for whatever misguided reason, are filling your head with an absurd story" Jennifer said before she turned to the three "And one they can't prove, by the way" she finished.

"What if we can" a voice said and everyone looked towards the voice to see James standing by the door, he lifted up his hand where he was holding a bottle with powder.

"What is that?" Jennifer asked "Well, Deaton told me it's a poison and a cure, which means you can use it and it can be used against you" James said as he stepped closer to Jennifer "Mistletoe?" Jennifer said before James tossed the powder into the air.

The powder covered Jennifer up. She started screaming and her body started shaking. Her face flashed into a pale and scratched version, she changed into the Darach for a second, just before she went back to normal.

Jennifer was about to run, but Derek grabbed her by the neck "Derek, wait, wait!" she said, but Derek pulled out his claws "You need me" she said "What are you?" he asked "The only person who can save your sister. Call Peter. Call him!" she said, Derek reached for his phone and called his uncle.

Peter answered the phone and Derek ask Peter about Cora.

"It's not good. She's in and out of consciousness. She's vomiting up black blood alone with one other alarming substance" Peter said over the phone "Mistletoe" Derek said.

"How did you know that?" Peter asked, but Derek didn't answer, he just hung up and held tighter on Jennifer's throat.

"Derek. Derek, what are you doing?" Scott asked "Her life, it's in my hands!" Jennifer said, but Derek lifted her up causing her to start grunting "Stop" the twins shouted "Derek, stop" Stiles said "Stilinski, you'll never find him" Jennifer said "Derek. Derek!" Scott said and Derek dropped her down to the floor.
