Dear Juliet,
the best thing about us
is that we dont have to pretend.
i know all your scars
and you know mine.
we aren't trying to save each other
we are just trying to love one another
and thats how healing happens
with acceptance and a while lot of love

Stiles texted Juliet saying how sorry he was leaving her in the parking lot and the lizard is called a Kanima. she caught up with Demetri.

"Hey."

"I know what the lizard is called."

"What's it called?"

"A kanima." His eyes widen. "Whats wrong? You have the face that you know it."

"Eric does. Damn, I can't call him."

"What about Isaiah? You can call him right?"

"He left to go to Italy. When we go to Italy, we have leave our phones here because that little town doesn't know what a phone is." she nodded and they entered Chemistry.

"Did you hear?" Scott told her.

"The kanima? Yeah, Stiles told me."

"No, Derek wants to test out if Lydia is the kanima, like he did to Jackson,"

"And why am I just hearing about this?" she turned around.

"Derek used the Kanima liquid and saw the he was paralyzed. If that liquid doesn't paralyze you, you're the Kanima." she nodded. Damn it Derek, again with his stupid ideas.

"When and where?" they saw Erica and Isaac come in and look at Lydia.

"I think here and now." Demetri told them. Scott sat down next to Lydia and Juliet and Demetri sat down together.

"Einstein once said, "two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe.' I myself have encountered infinite stupidity. So to combat the plague of ignorance in my class, you're going to combine efforts through a round of group experiments. Let's see if two heads are indeed better than one. Or in Mr. Stilinski's case, less than one. Erica, you take the first station. You'll start with..." Every boy in the class raised their hands. "I didn't ask for volunteers. Put your hormonal little hands down. Start with Mr. McCall. Alright, next two." Juliet rolled her eyes and groan.

"I hate my life."

"And you don't see me complaining." Mr. Harris said to her. Juliet and Demetri mixed in the chemicals.

"What are you going to do? Talk to Derek?" Demetri asked.

"I really don't want to talk about him now." He let it go. Mr. Harris ran the bell.

"Switch." Juliet had to switch. she walked to Ericas table.

"What are going to do to her?" she asked Erica as she put in the chemicals.

"Don't you think the better question is what's she going to do to us?" they looked at Lydia. "I have to say, you and Derek are the hottest couple." Juliet faked smiled at her. She doesn't want to talk about this. "But you know, I've always had a feeling like I'm a little psychic."

"Really? You're gonna leave the whole werewolf and go straight to the rings and crystal balls?"

"I just think you're not going be together for forever."

"You think you can hurt me by kissing him?" She looked looked at her.

"Would you like it better if it were you?" Erica got up and personal. "Come on. Girl fight in lab. It'll be hot." Juliet dug her claws on Ericas leg. "Bitch,"

"True, but I'm not your bitch." The bell rang.

"Time. If you catalyzed the reaction correctly, you should now be looking at a crystal. Now, for the part of that last experiment I'm sure you'll all enjoy, you can eat it."

"Lydia!" Scott yelled out. Juliet jumped.

"What?" She frowns.

"Nothing." Scott sat back down. They all watched her eat the crystal.

"Say goodbye to Lydia when you have the chance," Erica whispers into Juliets ear. She looked out the window and saw Derek. He looked away from her.

—

Scott, Allison, Stiles and Juliet went to Coaches office.

"Derek's outside waiting for Lydia."

"Waiting to kill her?" Allison questioned.

"If he thinks she's the Kanima, yes, especially after what happened at the pool."

"It's not her." Stiles comes in the conversation.

"Stiles, she's didn't pass the test, man. Nothing happened."

"No, it can't be her."

"Guys, it doesn't matter, because Derek thinks it's her." Juliet said as she crossed her arms. "So either we can convince him that he's wrong, or we've got to figure out a way to protect her."

"I really don't think he's gonna do anything here, not at school."

"What about after school?" Scott sighed, Allison threw her head back and Juliet paced.

"What if we can prove that Derek's wrong?" Allison suggests.

"By 3:00?"

"There could be something in the bestiary."

"Oh, you mean the 900 page book written in Archaic Latin that none of us can read? Good luck with that." Stiles pointed out.

"Actually, I think I know someone who might be able to translate it."

"Me and Scott can talk to Derek." Juliet said. "Maybe convince him to give us a chance to prove that it's not her."

"But if anything happens, you guys let me handle it, okay?" Scott eagerly said.

"What does that mean?" Allison told him.

"It means you can't heal like we do. I just don't want you getting hurt." Allison pulled out her crossbow and Juliet covered her face.

"I can protect myself." Scott looked so sad. He wants Allison safe. "What?" Juliet looked at Stiles.

"Jul?" He lifted up her chin and saw her watery eyes. "What's wrong?"

"I want to tell you, but later."

"Something happened, didn't it?" she nodded. "Is it Derek?"

"No."

"What is then?"

"Can we talk about later?" she suggested.

"Yeah." He nodded. Juliet was gonna tell him about Allison's grandfather. Scott gave Juliet the signal and they headed out. Juliet heard a hissing sound and she grabbed what she found out to see was an arrow. Juliet looked at who did it.

"Uh, sorry. Sorry." Stiles gave Allison her crossbow. "It's a sensitive trigger in that." she nodded. Juliet and Scott left school and straight to Derek. But Boyd was there

"We want to talk to Derek."

"Talk to me."

"We don't want to fight." That's where you're wrong, Juliet does because Derek's pack is getting on her nerves.

"Good, cause I'm twice the size of you." She looked up and down to Boyd, he was like two feet later than her.

"True." she said. "Really, really true." Then she shows him her eyes. "But I'm stronger."

"And I'm twice as fast." Scott said. Juliet and Scott went at Boyd. Scott tried to catch him off guard and she tackled him in the ground.

"She failed the test " Derek said to them.

"Yes, but that doesn't prove anything. Lydia is something else. She's different." she told him.

"I Know, at night she turns into a homicidal walking snake."

"We're not going to let you kill her." Scott pushed Juliet back behind him, protecting his little sister.

"Who said I was gonna do it?" Scott looked at her.

"Go to find them." He said, Juliet super speed her way to find them. After she found them, they came to her house.

"Get in." Allison, Stiles, and Lydia came in just as Juliet was about shut the door, Jackson came in. Oh boy. Stiles locked every single lock she had. Juliet got awkward. Should she ask them if they wanted something drink or?

"Uh there's been a few break ins around the neighborhood.

"Want-" stiles grabbed a chair and put it behind the door.

"And a murder." she rolled her eyes. "Yeah, it was bad."

"Lydia follow me, I need to talk for you for a minute." Jackson said going upstairs. Man, great.

"Seriously? What is going on with everyone?" Lydia's says when she walked behind Jackson. It's been night, already. Allison called Scott.

"It's me. You need to get here now. Right now." Juliet and Stiles looked out the window. Derek, Boyd, Erica and Isaac were outside of my house. After a long time, they're still outside.

"Oh god." Juliet said, whispering into her hand. Allison looked at her phone.

"What are you doing?" Stiles asked her.

"I think... I think I have to call my dad." Allison wipe her nose.

"No, but if he finds you here, you and Scott...." Juliet said.

"I know. But what are we supposed to do? They're not here to scare us, okay? They're here to kill Lydia."

"I'll go out and talk to him," Juliets hand touched the knob, but Stiles stopped her.

"No. You need to stay here." He sighs. "I got an idea. Just shoot one of them."

"Are you serious?" Juliet and Allison said that the same time.

"We told Scott we could protect ourselves, so let's do it. Or at least give it a shot, right?"

"Okay."

"Look, they don't think we're gonna fight, so if one of them gets hit, I guarantee they'll take off. So shoot one of them." Allison looked outside.

"Which one?"

"Derek." Juliet and Stiles say.

"Shoot him, perhaps in the head." Juliet looked at Stiles, i know you hate him but that's no exception.

"If Juliet was able to catch an arrow, Derek definitely can."

"Okay, just shoot one of the other three then."

"You mean two."

"No, there's three of them." Juliet looked outside to see Isaac gone. "Where the hell is he?" she sensed someone the house behind her. Isaac wrapped his arms around her.

"Missed me?" He pushed her against the door and pushed Stiles and Allison in the floor. She turned her head back and growled at him.

"This is my house." she fought with him. She tossed him to the kitchen and snarled at him. "Stiles! Go!" Juliet yelled at him. she grabbed Isaac by the neck and pushed him against the wall. "Tell Derek I said that we need to talk."

"Listen Kitten, but-" she dug her claws in his stomach.

"Call me Kitten, you'll see even more brutal things I can do as a hybrid." she whispered in his ear. Scott came.

"Erica is upstairs." He went to get Erica. Juliet grabbed Isaac and we both tossed them out of our house. Teach them who's boss, I'm I right? Juliet, Scott, Allison and a Stiles stepped outside.

"I think I'm finally getting why you both keep refusing me." Derek was referring to Juliet and Scott. "You're not an Omega. You both are already an Alpha of your own pack. But you know you can't beat me."

"I can hold you off until the cops get here." Scott told Derek. the police were near, and that wiped Derek's smile. They all heard something up in the roof. They walked up and saw the Kanima. It hissed at all of them. Juliet grabbed Stiles arm. Lydia comes out of the house.

"Would someone please tell me what the hell is going on?" She said as she walked out. Juliet looked where the Kanima ran off.

"Jackson."
