I stared at Stiles and Derek on the floor. "Hey. You know what's happening to Matt?" Stiles asked Derek. "You know, the book's not gonna help him. Can't just break the rules, not like this." Derek answered him. "What do you mean?" Stiles asked. "The universe balances things out. Always does." Derek stated. "Is it because he's using Jackson to kill people who don't deserve it?" Stiles asked. "Killing people himself." Derek pointed out. "So if Matt breaks the rules of the Kanima, he becomes the Kanima?" Stiles asked. "Balance." Derek voiced. "Will he believe us if we tell him that?" Stiles asked. "Not likely." Derek answered. "Okay, so he's gonna kill all of us when he gets that book, isn't he?" Stiles asked. "Yep." Derek said. "All right, so, what do we do? Do we just--do we just sit here and wait to die?" Stiles questioned. "Unless we can figure out a way to push the toxin out of my body faster. Like triggering the healing process." Derek explained. "Wha--oh, what are you doing? Aw, gross." Stiles asked him looking down at Derek. I followed his line of sight to find Derek had stabbed his left thigh with his claws. "Genius." Alaric whispered.

"There." I heard Matt say. I walked out to the main room to see Matt and Scott. "You know, I-I feel sorry for you, McCall, 'cause right now, you're thinkin', "How am I gonna explain this when it heals?" And the sad part is, you don't even realize how incredible it is that you actually ARE healing. 'Cause you know what happens to everyone else when they get shot? They die." Matt told Scott. "Is that what happened to you?" Scott asked him. Matt scoffed leaning against a desk. "You drowned, didn't you?" Scott asked again. "He shouldn't have let them drink." Matt said vaguely. "Wht--who--Matt, what do you mean?" Scott asked. "Lahey! He shouldn't have let them drink." Matt answered. "What, who was drinking?" Scott inquired. "Is that all these kids do? Ask questions? Someone kill me." Lizzie announced rolling her eyes. "The swim team, you idiot! I didn't know what was happening. I didn't know they had just won state, and Lahey, he's letting his favorites come over to have a couple drinks to celebrate. Who cares if they're 17, right?" Matt explained. "Were you at Isaac's?" Scott questioned. "He had this first edition Spider-Man, or was it Batman?" Matt started. "Nice." MG voiced before the memory changed and we stood in an abandoned house next to Derek and Peter while they looked at a computer.

"They say he's in some kind of transparent casing made from the venom coming out of his claws." Derek told him. "That sounds officially terrifying." Peter voiced looking at the laptop. "They also say he's starting to move." Derek added. "Okay, look, I think I found something. Looks like what you're seeing from Jackson is just the Kanima's beta shape." Peter explained clicking a key. "Well, meaning what? It can turn into something bigger?" Derek asked looking down at the computer. Peter leaned back with wide eyes. "Bigger and badder." He voiced. "He's turning into that? That has wings." Derek pointed out. "I can see that." Peter sounded. "Scott, bring him to us." Derek said into the phone. "I'm not sure if we have time for that." Scott answered on the other line. "Look, somebody actually made an animation of it. Maybe it's less frightening if we--" Peter started hitting a key to play the video. Derek immediately stood up at the sound of a screech before Peter closed the laptop. "Nope, not at all." He stated.

"We should probably meet them halfway

"We should probably meet them halfway." Peter sounded looking at Derek. "Scott, get him out of there now--go now." Derek demanded before hanging up the call.
