"I'm saying we need a new plan, because next time, one of us is gonna be too hurt to heal," Derek announced, as Blair had Derek's leather jacket wrapped around her arms to provide her with her some warmth. She and Scott both followed Derek into the train station to discuss their next move."Oh, I get it. We can't save Jackson." Scott realized as he leaned against a pole, Derek and Blair sitting down on the train seats next to him as Blair leaned her head against the pole.
"We can't seem to kill him either. I've seen a lot of things, Scott. I've never seen anything like this. Every new moon's just gonna make him stronger." Derek breathed out as Blair reached over to rub circles on Derek's back.
"But how do we stop him?" Scott asked as Derek began to shake his head no.
"I don't know. I don't even know if we can." Derek realized as he opened up to the two teens about his doubts about catching the Kanima.
"So, what do we do?" Blair asked in a weak voice still trying to find her energy from earlier as she looked between the two boys.
"Yeah, maybe we should just let the Argents handle it," Scott suggested as Blair held her head down, she didn't want Jackson to have to suffer a cruel fate. And unfortunately, Blair knew she was going to go down fighting for the lizard boy to live.
"Oh, dear god no. We are not letting those creeps anywhere near him. He's a teenager Scott. They're psychopaths." Blair pointed out, having a blatant distaste for all of the Argents - not caring if Scott's girlfriend was lumped into that pile too. After tonight, her grudge against the family became even more justified.
"I'm the one who turned him. It's my fault." Derek breathed out, clearly taking the responsibility of Jackson becoming a murder on his shoulders.
"Yeah, but you didn't turn him into this. I mean, this happened because of something in his past, right?" Scott asked as Derek held his head down before snapping it back up at Scott.
"That's a legend in a book. It's not that simple." Blair and Scott both grew confused at what Derek said both of them straightening up after that statement.
"What do you mean? What are you not telling us?" Scott asked as Blair began to wrap her hand around the metal pole as Scott left his hand on her shoulder, letting it stay there while the two finished their conversation with Derek.
"Why do you think I'm always keeping something from you?" Derek asked confused as Scott grew aggravated at the Alpha werewolf.
"Because you always are keeping something from me," Scott argued back as Blair realized the tensions in the train cart were getting worse.
"Well, maybe I do it to protect you. Both of you." Derek nodded towards Blair who gave Derek a weak smile in response, already knowing that Derek did most things for her in order to keep her safe.
