warnings: brief mentions of death and one wound. man, these warnings feel so tame compared to the ones at the end of season 3. don't worry tho, they'll probably pick up again towards the end of this season.

"Okay, I'll ask," said Malia, bringing her gaze up from where she was playing with the hem of Valerie's skirt to look at Scott and I. "Who's Kate Argent?"
"Uh, I'd like to know too," said Kira timidly.
"Yeah, ditto," said Valerie, running a hand across her chin.
"Well, we were at her funeral," I said. "So I'd like to know how she got out of the casket that was buried six feet underground."
"She was never in it," Scott mumbled.
"She was Allison's aunt," said Lydia finally. "And a total sociopath."
"You don't have to talk about it now if you don't want to," Kira assured us.
"Um, yes he does," said Malia.
Scott let out a breath. "Yeah, she's right. You guys should know. You need to know. Kate was the one who set the fire that killed most of Derek's family. Some of them survived, like Cora, and Peter."
"A very angry Peter," Lydia added timidly, and Valerie reached out and squeezed her hand.
"Yeah," Scott nodded, "he's the one who bit and turned me."
"And the one who finally caught up to Kate and killed her," said Lydia.
"And we saw her buried," I insisted.
"No," said Scott firmly, "we saw her casket, remember? She wasn't in it. The Calaveras heard that Kate had been killed by an Alpha's claws. They wanted to make sure she was really dead. Her body was healing. More and more, as she got closer to the full moon. She was coming back. So they switched out the bodies. They took her.
