Beacon Hills High Library | Afternoon

As soon as they got into the library, Jackson was complaining. "I can't be in detention, I've got a restraining order against these tools."

"All of these tools?" Harris asked.

Stiles pointed between him and Scott. "Just us tools."



"Fine, you two over there," Harris said, pointing Scott and Stiles towards a desk at the far side of the room. Erica took a table to herself while Matt, Jackson and Allison sat together.

"I'm going to kill Jackson," Scott growled as soon as he and Stiles sat down.

"No, you're not," Stiles said. "You're going to find out who's controlling him and then you're going to help save him."

Scott shook his head. "No, you were right, let's kill him."

Funny how he's only agreeing with Stiles' plan after Jackson went slightly crazyflakes and tried to assault Allison. It was completely fine when he was killing people. Stiles rolled his eyes and looked over at the table where Jackson was sitting.

"Hey. What if it's Matt?"

Scott looked at Stiles, confused. "But Danny said Matt was the one that figured out Jackson's tape had missing footage."

"Exactly!" Stiles said. "He's trying to throw suspicion off himself."

They both turned to look at Matt, who was calmly eating chips.

"So he makes Jackson kill Isaac's dad," Scott started. "And kill one of Argent's hunters and the guy that was fixing your jeep."

Stiles nodded. "Yes."

"Why?"

"Because...he's evil." That was logic enough for Stiles! Look, the guy gave him a bad vibe and Stiles took a lot of stock in his bad vibes.

Scott shook his head. "You just don't like him."

"The guy bugs me. Just look at his face." Matt...was politely offering Jackson chips.

"Any other theories?" Scott asked.

Stiles was about to detail more on his Matt theory but Jackson was getting up from his chair, looking a little bit sick. Matt was asking if Jackson was okay but Jackson ignored him, striding up to Mr. Harris and saying he needed to use the bathroom. He clearly looked like he was about to throw up or something and Harris followed him out of the room, telling everyone to stay in their seats as he left.

As soon as the door was closed Scott and Stiles got up and moved to Erica's table. Scott snapped his fingers to get Erica's attention. "Stiles says you know how Jackson's parents died."

"Maybe," Erica said, feigning disinterest.

Scott rolled his eyes. "Talk!"

"It was a car accident," Erica said. "My dad was the insurance investigator on the case. Every time he sees Jackson driving around in his Porsche he makes some comment about the huge settlement Jackson's gonna get when he turns 18."

"So not only is Jackson rich now and he's going to get even richer?" Stiles asked. "There's something deeply wrong with that."

"You know what? I bet I could find the report in my dad's inbox," Erica said, pulling out her laptop. "He keeps everything."

While Erica was booting up her laptop the overhead speaker came on. "Scott McCall, please report to the principal's office. Scott McCall to the principal's office."

Scott's eyes widened. The principal's office meant that an Argent wanted to see him. Scott got up to leave, looking like he was heading to death row. He passed Harris and Jackson coming back into the library on his way out, Jackson looking slightly better now.

Erica nudged Stiles' side after she pulled up the report. "Passenger and driver arrived at hospital DOA. Time of death 9:24 PM, June 14th, 1995."

"Jackson's birthday is June 15th," Stiles said. Look, back in the day every kid in class had to be invited to your birthday parties and Stiles had a very good memory, that is why he knew Jackson's birthday. He wasn't creepy.

Harris got up and started gathering his stuff but stopped everyone else before they could try to leave. "Oh no, I'm sorry. Yes, I'm leaving, but none of you are. You may go when you are done reshelving every book in this library. Enjoy the rest of your evening."

There was about a million books to be reshelved and everybody wanted to get out of there so they took to work quickly. A rattled looking Scott joined in a few minutes later after returning from the principals office and got caught up on what Stiles learned.

"It means Jackson was born after his mom died, via C-Section," Stiles explained. "They had to pull him out of her dead body."

"So was it an accident or not?" Allison asked.

"The word all over the report is 'inconclusive'," Stiles said. "But if they were murdered it would fit in with the kanima myth. You know, seeks out and kills murderers."

"But would it be for Jackson or the person controlling him?" Allison asked.

"We have to tell him. We have to make him listen," Scott said, already taking off to find Jackson in the stacks.

Scott had been gone for less than a minute when a crashing sound came from the other end of the library. Stiles could hear Scott yelling for Erica followed by the sound of Erica screaming. Before he could move to help he saw Jackson jumping over the bookshelves, knocking them over one by one. Stiles grabbed Allison and pulled her against him as Jackson jumped over them, knocking the shelf over, causing books to rain over them.

"Are you okay?" Stiles asked Allison, only moving away after she nodded. They crept out of the stacks and peaked out to see Jackson standing in front of a chalkboard. His form was still human but half of his skin was covered in scales and his eyes had taken on the reptile look of the kanima.

Scott crawled over towards them. "Jackson scratched Matt's neck, he's completely knocked out."

Stiles opened his mouth to ask about Erica but Jackson was moving again, jerkily picking up a piece of chalk. He began to write on the board, not even looking at the words that he was scribbling down. Once he was finished he dropped the chalk and jumped out the window. Stiles could see what was written out on the board clearly.

STAY OUT OF MY WAY OR I WILL KILL ALL OF YOU

Well. That was easy enough to figure out.

Stiles, Scott and Allison got out of their hiding spot, Allison immediately moving to check on Matt. Stiles ducked down the aisles until he could spotted Erica, who was convulsing violently.

"Hey!" Stiles cried out, rushing over to Erica and pulling her up. "Scott, I think she's having a seizure!"

Scott ran over, looking worried. Erica wasn't supposed to be having seizures anymore, not when she was a werewolf. It was just like Scott's asthma, it should have completely disappeared.

"We have to get her to a hospital," Stiles said.

"Derek!" Erica gritted out. "Take me to Derek."

"Matt's fine," Allison called out. "Just go!"

Scott got up to have some completely unnecessary conversation with Allison that they really didn't have time for. Erica was having a seizure for god's sake, this was ridiculous. "Scott! We need to get to Derek's now!"

Scott got the point and picked up Erica and the three of them headed towards the jeep.




Derek was currently holed up in some creepy warehouse that had a piece of a subway car in it for some reason. There wasn't much in the way of explanation when they got there. For one thing, Erica was dying and for another, well, they weren't entirely sure what had happened. Just that Jackson must have scratched her somehow. Derek took Erica out of Scott's arms and carried her to the subway car and laid her down on the floor.

"Hold her up!" Derek ordered.

Stiles did as he was told, lifting Erica up slightly so her head was resting in his lap. "Is she dying?"

"She might--I don't..." Derek shook his head and picked up Erica's wrist. "This is gonna hurt."

Before Stiles could protest, Derek took Erica's wrist and broke it. Bone popped out of the skin and blood started to flow.

"You broke her arm!" Stiles shouted.

"It'll jump start the healing process!" Derek said, not letting go of Erica's wrist. "I still need to get the venom out. This is where it's really going to hurt."

He squeezed Erica's wrist hard, forcing blood out of the wound where the bone poked through. Erica started thrashing around and screaming. Stiles did his best to hold her down and not throw up at the same time. He pulled it off, but only because Erica was weak and he was pointedly not looking at her wrist.

Eventually Erica stopped thrashing around and it seemed like her seizure had passed. Stiles stayed with her, petting her hair soothingly until while Scott and Derek talked. Stiles didn't know about what, most likely Derek getting all sadfaced over Scott not joining his pack and Scott frowning back and saying they had to work together or something. That's how things usually went these days.

"That feels nice," Erica murmured, not moving off of Stiles' lap while he stroked her hair. "Your boyfriend's lucky."

Stiles snorted. "Damn right he is."

When Scott came back to collect Stiles so they could leave, he told him that they were going to join the pack long enough to sort this Jackson thing out. Stiles gave himself an imaginary pat on the back on calling that and he and Scott both agreed they needed to bring Deaton into this to solve the kanima problem as soon as possible.
