─────────────────

MARLO AND DEREK set off after the kanima chasing it down the streets of Beacon Hills.

Derek does one of his famous backflips over the metal fence the kanima just jumped over as Marlo using her vampire speed jumps over the fence as well.

Both Marlo and Derek look up snarling at the kanima; seeing it run around a pipe.

Derek sets off first before Marlo catches up, she's growing more and more pissed off at this creature due to the drowning accident she had at the high schools swimming pool.

As Allison drops Lydia home, she sighs and turns to face her strawberry blonde best friend.

Opening her mouth allowing her brain to function on what to tell the teenager girl who witnessed weird things tonight.

"I need you to promise that you won't say anything about what just happened" Allison says; "I'll promise not to say anything about what just happened; if you can tell me what the hell just happened" Lydia says in a scared voice.

"It's kind of complicated" Allison replies; "Well, how about you start with why was Marlo and Derek there? Or where Jackson went, or what is wrong with Erica?" Lydia asks.

Allison just sighs, "Oh, do you need a minute to come up with a plausible lie?" Lydia says; frustration shown on her face.

"Part of the reason why I'm asking is because Scott and I aren't suppose to be seeing each other, okay? So it's better if you just keep what you know to yourself" Allison says.

"Fine. I'll keep what I know about you and your boyfriend; which is nothing, to myself" Lydia says getting out of Allison's vehicle.

"Hey, he's not just my boyfriend; you get that, right?" Allison says grabbing ahold of Lydia's leather jacket; "Let me go" Lydia says looking at the girl in the drivers seat.

"Just for one second; please try and remember" Allison says; "Remember what?" Lydia frustratedly states.

"Remember what it feels like; all of those times in school when you see him standing down the hall, and you cannot breathe until you're with him, or those times in class when you can't stop looking at the clock because you know that he's standing right out there waiting for you, don't you remember what that's like?" Allison says getting emotional; "No" Lydia says softly.

"What to do you mean, 'no'? You've had boyfriends" Allison asks; "None like that" Lydia says getting out of the car to go into her house, leaving Allison sitting in her car staring in question.

After sometime of running beside each other, Derek and Marlo come to a stop realising they've lost the kanima.

Derek begins looking around the area knowing it's not to far away from where they're standing and begins walking forwards; just as he takes a step; the kanima drops behind both the vampire and alpha werewolf; and hisses at them both.

Derek growls showing his canine teeth and Marlo snarls her eyes flashing black with veins coming down her cheeks; as the kanima runs forward slashing its tail against the ground behind itself; it begins fighting the alpha werewolf first.

Stiles and Scott come spending down after Scott follows both their scents; coming to an immediate stop seeing the tire slashes on the ground.

"What do we do now?" Stiles asks looking over at his best friend already jumping out of the jeep and jumping over the fence and running off in the direction the vampire and werewolf's scents are lingering.

Stiles just swallows deeply after realising his alone.

As punches are thrown between Derek and the kanima; Derek manages to dodge some and hit the kanima as well; back flipping on the creature giving the creature a powerful push.

Derek gets down on his hands and knees ready to fight once again; the alpha and his strength punches a hold straight through the cement beam holding the bridge they're under up.

The Kanima gets the upper cut and pushes Derek making him land face first on the ground behind him.

Marlo then decides enough is enough and starts making her way towards the ugly scale creature.

She growls and lunches for the kill but doesn't manage to get the upper hand and the kanima throws her against the metal beam; which pisses Derek off.

The alpha gets up grabbing the metal door in front of him making the kanima realise his ready to fight again; the kanima scratches and hisses at the alpha trying to make the alpha drop what's his currently holding.

They both roar at each other and Derek pushes the kanima off of him which sends the creature on the ground; the kanima gets up and goes to run away instead it decides to climb up the wall to the roof leaving Marlo who's back up and better than ever and Derek snarling at the creature.

The kanima uses its sharp claws and cuts the power sending flashing lights leaving Derek blind; but Marlo however hides her eyesight and lunches at the creature.

Now Derek throws himself at the creature and vampire as well; the kanima finally snaps properly and throws Derek into the next section over to him and once again bites Marlo.

Making the woman scream out and change back to her human form holding her side in gasps and pain; the kanima does not get away though.

Before it manages to run away a car screeches behind them and Chris Argent gets out of the vehicle holding his gun and firing billets into the creature.

After so many bullet wounds the kanima falls backwards in what looks like a kill shot.

Derek who is now fully healed; manages to get up and grab Marlo too before running somewhere to hide as he knows Chris is also hunting him; the hunger aims his gun in front of himself ready to shoot.

Although not watching behind him, the kanima gets back up and hisses at the older male.

Argent's gun blocks his shot and gets jammed; the kanima uses its tail to send the man into the cement wall behind; hissing.

Argent groans in pain and breathes deeply calming himself down and looking up into the car headlights seeing his father Gerard Argent getting out and walking up to the creature.

Completely unfazed in almost like a leader stance; before anything happens though someone suddenly rams into the scaled monster; that someone who happens to be Scott; he looks back at the older man and glares are sent from inbetween the two.

Scott then just runs off chasing after the kanima once more leaving the smug man looking at the teenage beta werewolf.

As Scott loses the kanima's scent; he makes his way to peak his head around the corner finding himself at a stripclub; looking around behind him only to find himself being startled at the sight of the human best friend.

"Sorry, I'm sorry, did you see where he went?" Stiles says; "I lost him" Scott says; Stiles now has a look of pure fear on his face; "What? You couldn't catch his scent?" Stiles asks.

"I don't think he has one" Scott replies; "All right, any clue where he's going?" Stiles asks.

"To kill someone" Scott says in a duh tone, "Ah, that explains the claws and the fangs and all that; makes perfect sense now" Stiles says.

Scott just looks at him annoyed; "What? Scott, Come on; I'm one-hundred-and-forty-seven pounds of pale skin and fragile bone okay? Sarcasm is my only defence" Stiles says.

"Just help me find it" Scott says, "Not 'it', Jackson" Stiles states; "Yeah, I know, I know" Scott replies, "All right, but does he know that? Did anybody else see him back at your house?" Stiles asks.

"I mean, I don't think so, but, he already passed Derek and Marlo's test, anyway" Scott says, "Yeah, but that's just the thing, how did he past the test?" Stiles asks.

"I don't know" Scott says sighing, "Maybe it's like an either or thing" Scott looks at Stiles in question as he says that.

"I mean, Derek said that a snake can't be poisoned by its own venom, right? When's the kanima not the kanima?" Stiles asks moving his head.

"When it's Jackson" Scott states answering Stiles question. Scott notices people entering the club; as Stiles mumbles out looking at the roof.

"Uh dude" he captures Scott's attention which leads Scott to step out beside Stiles who are not both looking up at the roof; "See that?" Stiles asks seeing the kanima entering the building.

"He's inside" Scott says still looking at the roof; Stiles waves his arms in question; "What's he gonna do in there?" Stiles asks.

Scott looks up and around suddenly catching a whiff of amarni cologne; "I know who he's after" Scott statues firmly; "What how; did you smell something?" Stiles asks.

Looking at Scott in question; "Armani" Scott answers; gesturing to the club entrance where one of their classmates is entering.

As the boys find away inside the club; Derek makes sure Marlo is doing okay considering she's still bleeding from the second kanima bite she's received.

"You doing okay?" Derek asks concerned; "I'm okay, I'm healing slowly this time; it's not too deep" Marlo states getting up; "Let's kill this ugly scaled creature already; so I can go home and sleep" She says walking towards to the club they've found themselves being led too.

"Okay, whatever you say Boss" Derek salutes her in a joke like matter making the woman chuckle; as they both enter the club with no worries since they're both over the age of twenty-one.

"Try and blend it as well as you can until things get out of hand; okay?" Marlo says holding onto Derek's chest.

"Got it" He says, "Oh forgot to mention; this is a gay club" Marlo says smirking at the look she was now receiving from the alpha; "Really? A gay club?" Derek mutters.

A male walks up to him and hands him a drink and winks at him; "Ooo secret admirers are fun Der-bear" Marlo smirks walking over to the bar.

Walking the alpha now follows after the vampire like a puppy; showing his not interested in being in a gay club at all.

"Why are you so calm and collected being a bar?" Derek asks drinking his drink before choking not realising what the man earlier handed him; pure tequila.

"Worked in bar for a year in New Orleans so have some experience; was the big bad Alpha just choking over some tequila?" Marlo smirks putting her hands on his chest once again.

"Tequila isn't my type of alcohol we all know that, and oh cool; while you ran away you worked in a bar" he mutters to himself.

While looking around noticing Scott and Stiles at the bar.

Marlo suddenly in the mood for some dancing grabs the wolves hand and drags him through the crowd of rowdy males partying it up with their partners or hookups.

Marlo smirks as she turns around and places her ass flat against his crotch; and starts swaying; even though this was a gay club she still wanted to have some fun.

Before shit hit the fan; feeling the alpha let loose around her made her smile even wider knowing she can get the man to have fun before this went crazy.

He breaths on her neck holding her hips and moves her against his crotch even tighter showing the woman what he's hiding underneath his clothes.

"Calm down Derek; we're in public" Marlo says moving her hands up and down before wrapping around the back of Derek's neck.

Her ass still up against the males crotch and his face now in her neck mumbling curse words.

Although all fun things must come to end; they suddenly hear the fair sound of hissing and Derek being the protective person he is.

Immediately transforms into his wolf form showing his canine teeth, claws and red Alpha eyes.

Blending in with the flashing lights of the club; he finds himself moving closer and closer to the kanima with Marlo now beside him adjusting her clothes now also due to their fun time they just had together.

She stands behind Derek in a stance he finds hot but that's completely off to the topic right now as they're focused on getting closer to the scaled kanima in the crowd of dancing and drunk people.

As both Stiles and Scott go up towards the bar; "Two beer's" Stiles says over the music; "I.Ds?" The bartender asks; as both boys pull out their school IDs the bartender just laughs; and says.

"How about two cokes?" Scott still looking around the club not hearing what's being said; "Rum and coke? Sure!" Stiles says looking at Scott before the bartender shakes his head getting the two boys cokes.

"Cokes fine, actually. I'm driving anyway." Stiles says, the other bartender walks up to both boys handing them the drinks before saying to Scott.

"That one's paid for" gesturing to the other side of the bar to see a male putting his beverage in the air to say cheers; Scott looks at Stiles in amusement; "Oh, shut up" Stiles says.

"I didn't say anything" Scott says smiling. "Yeah, well; you face did" Stiles says.

Both boys turn around to face the dancers in the club, Stiles sipping on his coke; searching through the crowd and finally finds Danny. "Hey, I found Danny" Stiles tells Scott.

Scott looks up at the roof; "I found Jackson" he states seeing the kanima on the roof of the club directly above Danny.

The music continues blaring throughout the club; "Get Danny" Scott says to Stiles who is standing staring at the roof behind him.

"What are you gonna do?" Stiles asks as Scott flicks out his claws; "Works for me" Stiles states; walking off to get Danny in the crowd of men dancing all over each other.

Marlo and Derek continue walking throughout the crowd; Marlo begins getting more mad the closer they get to the kanima but not before she loses Derek in the ground of people.

"Derek?" She calls out and walks forward only to run into her brother.

"Marlo!" Stiles says looking at his older sister; "That's me; what are you doing here?" She asks.

"Saving Danny from Jackson; what are you doing here?" Stiles asks, "Um, I died the other night due to the kanima biting me and blood loss; I'm here with Derek" Marlo says squinting her eyes at the male in front of her.

"Right, should've known you would've been here with him; his the bad guy Marlo!" Stiles says angrily.

"Oh please; the only bad guy here is Jackson and the hunters; whom your friends with Stiles!" She yells out.

As Derek makes his way closer to the kanima; which is slicing people's necks making them fall to the paralysed in the middle of the dance floor.

Scott yells out once he says Danny laying on the floor among the crowd of paralysed males.

"Jackson!" while noticing the Derek in his alpha form inching closer; preparing himself to bite the monster.

"No, Don't!" Scott yells out but a minute after he calls out, Derek bites Jackson leaving the kanima injured and bleeding.

As all hell breaks loose and the crowd scream and fled out of the building and some helping the people unable to move on the floor.

Stiles and Marlo come rushing over to see that Danny is one of those on the floor and Scott is looking at them and leaves outside the door him and Stiles entered from; following the black blood.

Scott finds Jackson unconscious beside one of the cars bleeding; Stiles and Marlo rush outside to where Scott is.

Marlo following them as she can't find Derek anywhere; she sees Jackson unconscious and bleeding from his throat

Scott asks "What do we do with him now?" Looking at his best friend and his best friend's older sister.

"Firstly here" Marlo says handing Scott a blanket to cover Jackson's naked body with before continuing with what she was going to say.

"Okay, Stiles do you have your jeep here with you?" She asks her brother. "Yeah of course" Stiles answers looking at her confused.

"Scott; pick him and let's put in the Jeep from now on and come up with a plan there" Marlo says snapping her fingers as a chop, chop motion.

"Why should I listen to you?" Scott snarls, "Okay Mr I'm grumpy; I'm helping you because as much as I dislike this boy; he doesn't deserve to be shown on the street butt ass naked and bleeding; we need to hide him somewhere; you don't have to trust me; but come on" Marlo seethes back.

Stiles however says "Scott, she's my sister come on, we can trust her", Scott looks at his best friend and says "But she's with Derek! She's their leader alongside him" Marlo who's also beside them, snaps her hands.

"Okay, I'm still right here you know? Like I mentioned before; you don't have to trust me baby McCall but we need to get Jackson out of here" she states now picking up the boy herself keeping herself from touching any parts necessary.

Scott manages to get over himself and help the woman carry their enemy from school into the back of Stiles's jeep.

As they all get in the vehicle they all hear sirens approaching and Stiles quickly mutters something along the lines of; "Oh, my god, could this get any worse?" Stiles says to both Scott and Marlo.

Jackson just groans in response not even knowing his doing so; "That was rhetorical!" Stiles yells at Jackson.

Marlo just laughs to herself before quickly realising this is the first time she might have to talk to her father since coming home, "Shit" she mutters.

Both boys in the front look back at her wondering what's wrong; "I haven't seen or talked to dad in six years" she says to Stiles before looking at Scott; they both chuckle.

"Whose fault is that?" Scott mutters shaking his head. "He misses you a lot Marlo" Stiles states.

Marlo just breathes deeply listening to Scott; "Get rid of him" Scott says and Marlo just scoffs in amusement.

"Incase you forgot Scott, we're at a crime scene, his the sheriff; he has to be here" Marlo states looking through her jacket before finding her phone sending a very angry text to Derek, "Do something" Scott says.

Stiles being Stiles makes a dramatic exit from the jeep and Marlo just sits in the back contemplating seeing her father; "Hey" she heard Stiles say to their father.

Before anything else can happen; Jackson begins to wake up leaving a slightly scared Scott in the passenger seat; "What's going on?" Jackson mumbles out.

"Jackson, Jackson; be quiet" Scott says looking at Marlo and she just shrugs her shoulders; "What do you want me to do about it? I already have him on my lap" She says.

"Do your weird compelling thing on him vampires do" Scott says shrugging his shoulders too.

"Okay for once; don't believe everything you read on the goddamn internet about vampires Scott; compelling someone isn't knocking them unconscious dumbass" She mutters.

"I'm not even sorry about this Jackass" Marlo says before punching him unconscious again and leaving a mad Scott.

"What? I didn't fucking kill him and considering I died in the pool, I deserved that punch" Marlo states.

Scott just chuckles; "Kinda jealous you got to punch him" Scott says.

After saying hey to his father; Stiles and the Sheriff begin talking; "What are you doing here?" Sheriff asks.

"What do you mean what am I doing here? What it's a club; we were clubbing, ya know? At the club" Stiles says; "Not exactly your type of club" Stilinski says.

Stiles however looks both confused and worried about his next response.

"Uh, well Dad, there's a conversation that-" before being interrupted by his dad "You're not gay".

Stiles looks offended and hurt by the fact his dad says that so confidently.

"Whaa- I could be!" Stiles says; "Not dressed like that" His dad says.

Sheriff Stilinski then begins walking over to where Scott and Marlo are sitting; "Are you not going to mention to me that my own eldest daughter is sitting in your jeep?" Their father asks.

"Uhhh, nope- nope, wait here, I'll get her" Stiles says walking over to the drivers side before poking his head to see Marlo looking at him already; "He wants to see you!" Stiles says gesturing to their father.

Marlo just nods and takes the unconscious boy off her lap and climbs out to the vehicle before closing the door and looking at their father. "Hi Dad" She says walking up to him.

"Marlo" he just nods at her while the other two look at each other in awkwardness, "God I missed you!" Stilinski says bringing his daughter into a tight hug; "I missed you too dad; sorry I disappeared" Marlo says hugging the man back.

While Stiles gets looks from his father proving to him he knows the conversation isn't over.

"This is the second crime scene that you just happened to have shown up on and at this point; I've been fed so many lies; I'm not sure I know the kid standing in front of me; now what the hell is going on?" Sheriff Stilinski asks his son.

"Dad I-I" Stiles mumbles; "The truth Stiles" Noah says.

"The truth; all right, well the truth is that we were here with Danny; yeah cause he just broke up with his boyfriend, so, you know we were just trying to take him out and get his mind off things, that's it" Stiles says.

"Well, that's really good of you guys; you're good friends." Stilinski says.

"Now Marlo, why are you here with them?" He asks this time targeted towards his daughter.

"Oh, my lift left me stranded at this club and Stiles and Scott promised me a lift home" Marlo says straight away smiling.

"Oh, that's good, stay safe; and I wanna catch up properly; not so much my little girl anymore" Stilinski says walking off.

Both Stiles and Marlo look at each other and thank the lord for letting their father believe Stiles story about Danny's heartbreak.

They both get in the vehicle again; Marlo once again sitting in the back with an unconscious Jackson.

"Why did you do to him?" Stiles asks, "Punched him; that's all; ask Scott" Marlo says.

"Yeah and to be fair it was awesome!" Scott says, while Stiles pulls the jeep away from the club beginning their next adventure.

What Marlo and the teens didn't know was Chris and Gerard Argent were parked near them and watching the vampire and talking about their plans for the future supernatural beings.

What they didn't know was the hunters were planning on killing the vampire and letting Derek watch since they can see the alpha cares a lot about his queen; and they plan on killing him as well when they done with Marlo's suffering.

Marlo, Scott and Stiles continue driving along trying to find a place to hide Jackson; "Uh, what about your house?" Stiles suggests.

"Not with my mom there; we need to take him somewhere; where we can hold him long enough to figure out what to do with him or long enough to convince him he's dangerous" Scott says.

"I still say we just kill kim" Stiles says; "I'm in!" Marlo says rolling her eyes. "We're not killing him!" Scott snarls at the siblings.

"God; okay, okay; I got an idea" Stiles says; "Does it involve breaking the law?" Scott asks as Marlo just exhales deeply.

"By now; don't you think that's a given?" Stiles says, "I was just trying to be optimistic" Scott answers; "Don't bother" Stiles says.

By Stiles having an idea it meant getting a prison transport van and putting in the middle of the woods with Jackson inside of him.

Marlo however did not realise she was apart of this plan until Stiles refused to drop her home.

Stating this was a family emergency and he needs his older sister; and he didn't want her reporting this back to Derek.

Marlo, Stiles and Scott wait outside for the boy to wake up; they ask Marlo question and a lot of them at that too.

"Do you drain people?" Stiles wonders.

"Uh no; I did when I was bitten but that's a story for another time and for when I trust Scott which is not now by the way" Marlo answers looking at Scott; "Feelings mutual" Scott says.

After what felt like a million of questions asked by both boys they finally hear an angry yell from the boy inside the van.

"Stiles! McCall! I'm gonna kill you" Jackson yells out, meanwhile the vampire looks at other two in amusement and hides her laughs.

Scott and Stiles look worried and scared and probably more emotions; while looking at each other.

"Oh you guys screwed up didn't you?" Marlo says, "Oh please, you're included in this just as much as we are" Scott says glaring at the woman.

"Hah; nope; no I'm not; because I wanted to go home but you two just want me here because you don't want Derek knowing your plans" She states.

The two look scared as they realised she heard them; "I have super hearing too dumb dumbs! Next time be a little more quiet" Marlo says sitting on the stump bored out of her mind.

Marlo's phone goes off in her back pocket; seeing a message from Erica and Isaac but none from Derek himself; she scoffs but doesn't ignore them.

'where are you? i'm at your apartment and i have that tv show you wanted to watch; text me or call me i don't mind; hope to see you soon mar - erica' she reads from her sister of the pack; before replying.

'stuck with my brother and his friends; i'll be home soon hopefully; start without me; food and drinks are in the cabinet and fridge; help yourself - marlo' she replies before going to isaac's message.

'hey m, just letting you know I'm in your guest bedroom; just thought it was easier to stay here instead of going with Derek; hope you're okay - isaac' she just smiles at his message and replies.

'you know you're always welcome isaac, like i just told erica; there's food there and drinks help yourselves; just don't set the place on fire; i'm all good, did derek say something? - marlo'

She sighs to herself wondering why both Erica and Isaac have messaged her weird messages asking if she's okay; did Derek say something?

Scott and Stiles both look at the woman on the stump to realise she's typing away and before she even has the chance to turn it off it gets snatched out of her hands.

"Okay what the actual fuck Scott!" Marlo yells at the werewolf; "You're texting Derek and telling him aren't you?" He snaps at her.

"No, I'm actually not, I'm messaging Isaac and Erica who are at my apartment watching their tv shows; want proof? Read the fucking text message asshole" Marlo snarls back at the teenage boy done with his trust issues shit.

"Okay, okay calm down; Marlo obviously wasn't talking to Derek; it's okay Scott give her the phone back" Stiles says.

"No, she's not having it back" Scott says snapping the phone leaving the woman seething and extremely pissed off.

"NO SERIOUSLY WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS YOUR GODDAMN PROBLEM YOU LITTLE SHIT! Just because you don't trust Derek does not mean I'll mess up your goddamn plans, Stiles is my brother and I fucking love him okay? You're buying me a new phone or I'll talk to your mother about it" Marlo seethes at the teenage boy.

Both boys watch as the veins come out underneath her eyes and her eyes black, "Oh no; Scott you made her pissed off" Stiles says in fear.

Marlo backs off when she feels herself losing control and takes calm breathes.

Stiles eventually goes in and sits with Jackson explaining things to him for a little while leaving his older sister and Marlo outside alone, still pissed off from earlier.

Marlo turns around completely ignoring the teenage boy.

She actually can't believe he broke her phone over her texting Erica and Boyd; her betas.

"I'm sorry Marlo, I just can't risk Derek knowing this plan" Scott explains.

"Mhm and what do you plan on doing tonight, tomorrow and the rest of the week? Keeping me hostage like Jackson over there; you're lucky I didn't hurt you when you broke my phone" Marlo says snapping.

"If I have too yes, I'll kidnap you" Scott murmurs, "Good luck with that Scott; Derek's gonna be pissed anyways" Marlo snarls.

"I'm not scared of Derek, Marlo" Scott says. "Ha; good, he'll be the one holding me back" she states.

As soon as Stiles is finished with Jackson and discussing things with him, he comes outside and continues texting Jackson's parents.

Stiles hears footsteps nearby, and looks over at Marlo sitting by herself on the stump, he notices she's looking weak like she was in the swimming pool and grows concerned; but before he could get over to her and check.

Allison is suddenly behind him; "They know" she says; "What?" Stiles says. "They know Jackson's missing" Allison says again.

"No they can't, I've been texting his parents since last night; they don't have a clue" Stiles says showing her the phone; "My grandfather told me his parents went to the police. They know" she states.

Stiles being Stiles holds the phone with his pointer finger and thumb and jumps up and down slightly; "Oh-" he says rushing back to the prison transport van and turns the walkie talkie on and listens over the radio.

"All available units, proceed to Beacon Hills preserve as instructed; proceed with caution until Sheriff Stilinski's arrival-Repeat proceed with caution" the officer over the talkie says.

As Stiles goes over to Marlo and looks at her as if to say hurry up, she scoffs and gets up.

"Great keeping your sister hostage until further notice, awesome job Stiles" she mutters.

Stiles just gives her a look of uncertainty and puts on in the van alongside Allison; both females look at each other and sigh; "Great, stuck with an Argent" Marlo mutters again.

Allison taking offence says; "You don't even know me though? Just because I'm an argent doesn't mean I'm a awful person?" Marlo just sighs and nods her head; "I know".

Allison looks at the woman in fear now realising she's sitting beside a vampire; a powerful one at that.

"Hey Allison, can I ask you a question?" Marlo speaks; "Yeah sure" Allison whispers, "Do you know why whenever I get bit by the kanima I feel like I'm dying? And I don't mean like the venom or anything, I mean my body collapses from the inside out" Marlo asks feeling herself grow weaker.

Allison and Stiles look at her concerned; "I don't know why, but if you promise me you won't kill me then I'll help you find out?" Allison says.

"Girl, I'm not going to kill you, you're probably the only argent I can put up with" Marlo states feeling a good aura coming off Allison.

"Okay I'll research things for you; now why is Stiles keeping you hostage?" Allison asks.

"Because he and Scott don't want me telling Derek about the 'plan' they have; oh by the way; your stupid boyfriend broke my phone" Marlo says and snarls at the last part really having a dislike for the McCall boy.

Allison just looks at her wide eyed at that information, understanding the whole don't tell Derek the plan part but not the breaking her phone.

She decides to change the conversation as Marlo starts coughing and groaning in pain.

"Where are we going?" Allison asks Stiles seeing him now in the drivers seat, while helping Marlo sit up straighter and giving her; her bottle of water she brought.

Marlo just nods as a thank you at Allison for the kind gesture; Allison just smiles.

"Somewhere very far from this" Stiles says aggressively typing on Jackson's phone and throwing it out the window dialling a number; soon they pull up seeing Scott's waiting for them.

Marlo just groans seeing the boy, while the boy glares at her but also has concern seeing how pale she's become in the past few hours.

The four of them walk to the cliff away from the van Jackson is currently in and Marlo hangs off Allison.

Having the girl help her walk to the rock, "Thanks Alli" Marlo says.

Allison just smiles at the nickname actually growing a liking to the woman on the opposite side.

"If Jackson doesn't remember being the kanima, he's definitely not going to remember stealing Danny's tablet" Scott says.

"Why would he steal the thing if he doesn't even know what's on it?" Stiles asks; "What if someone else took it?" Allison asks.

"Then somebody else knows what he is" Stiles answers; which could mean someone's protecting him" Scott answers; "Like the bestiary says; 'the kanima seeks a friend', right?" Allison asks.

"Okay; hold on; so somebody watches Jackson make a video of himself turning into the kanima, and then just erases part of it so he wouldn't know? I mean who would do that?" Stiles asks.

"Somebody who wanted to protect him?" Allison asks.

"There's something else; you said the only thing you found online about the kanima is that it goes after murderers, what if that's actually true?" Scott questionsZ

"Well no, it can't be; tried to kill all of us remember? I don't know about you two, but I haven't murdered anybody lately," Stiles states.

"But I don't think that it was actually trying to kill us; remember when we were at Isaac's the first time; it just went right by us, didn't it?" Scott asks.

"You're right; it just ran off" Allison says nodding; "and it didn't kill you in the mechanic garage" Scott says.

"Well yeah, but it tried to kill me, Marlo and Derek in the pool" Stiles says, "Did it?" Scott asks.

"It would've, it was waiting for us to come out" Stiles says; "What if it was trying to keep you in?" Scott questions.

"Why do I feel so violated all of a sudden?" Stiles asks.

"Because there's something else going on; we don't know what it is; we don't know anything about what's going on with Jackson or why someone's protecting him" Scott says.

"'Know thy enemy'; just something my grandfather said" Allison says looking at the boys curious gazes.

"All right; I got it; Kill Jackson; problem solved" Stiles says with open arms like shrugging.

Scott who's not happy with that answer immediately says "He risked his life for us; against Peter; you remember that?" Scott asks.

"Yes but what did we just find out? He got the bite from Derek; it's funny how he just got exactly what he wanted by supposedly risking his life for us, it's funny" Stiles says shaking his head.

"Yeah, it's doesn't mean he's still not worth saving" Scott states; "It's always something with him though" Stiles says.

"He doesn't know what he's doing" Scott answers; "So what?" Stiles shrugs.

"So I didn't either, you remember when I almost killed you and Jackson?" Scott turns to ask his girlfriend.

She nods "I had someone to stop me; he has nobody" Scott says, "That's his own fault" Stiles bluntly says.

"Doesn't matter; if we can save him; we should try" Scott states firmly.

Marlo knowing the answers tries to call out but begins choking and tries to move as she feels a burning coming up her throat.

She immediately captures Stiles attention as he rushes over to his sister's side.

"Marlo, are you okay?" He asks frantically; as the woman starts vomiting black blood and collapses against Scott as he rushes up to help.

Allison can't help but immediately step into attention; "Marlo, hey, hey, it's okay; you need to stay hydrated okay? Black blood isn't good; until we have answers: we can't have you throwing up your stomach lining" Allison says rubbing the woman's back.

Marlo just sobs and groans; "It hurts; it hurts so much" She states gesturing to her side where the bite is.

Stiles takes ahold of his sister's hand and legs Scott and Allison look at the wound; after a gasp was heard from both teens.

They look at Stiles and shake their heads suggesting things weren't looking good.

Stiles takes it upon himself to look at her wounded side and immediately backtracks at how bad her side actually looks.

"Oh my god; Marlo, why didn't say anything?" Stiles asks, "I don't want to die again; please Stiles" she cries harder into her brother jumper.

"We'll stay and keep an eye on Jackson; Stiles, take your sister to the hospital" Scott suggests, no protests are heard while Stiles immediately grabs his sisters arms and wraps them around his shoulder helping her walk towards the car on the main road; Allison drove.

"Stay with me; okay Marlo? Don't fall asleep" Stiles states. "I'm so tired" she mumbles out.

Stiles tries to remain calm and drive while he older sister is in pain beside him.

He soon arrives at the hospital immediately getting Melissa's attention; "Melissa! Help please" as soon as she hears the urgency in Stiles voice she rushes out to the car he drove to see the woman in the passenger seat.

"Is that Marlo?" Melissa asks, "Yeah, I've gotta call dad" Stiles says taking a few breathes to remain calm.

"Stiles, I love you, baby brother; tell Derek; you have to tell Derek and the others" Marlo sobs no longer feeling anymore pain.

She takes a deep inhale before passing out.

"MARLO!" Stiles cries, after losing his mother; he can't lose her either and he thought being a vampire she would be able to heal but obviously not.

He sits in the waiting room after Allison came and got her car back; Noah Stilinski soon arrives at the hospital in panic; "Stiles, where is she?" He asks.

Stiles just sobs, "She stopped breathing and had no pulse when they wheeled her into surgery dad". 

As both Stilinski's wait for news of their daughter and sister; Scott and Allison end up spending the night in Allison's car doing more than looking out for Jackson.

Stiles wakes up shortly after falling asleep in the waiting room to seeing no one there and immediately rushes up and see's Melissa walking towards him.

"She's okay Stiles; surgery went well; she had a lot of blood loss and had a weird substance in her blood but other than that she'll make a full recovery; your father's with her now" Melissa says patting Stiles's back.

Stiles immediately breaks down with happiness that his sister was okay, especially after seeing her die again.

"Her heart did stop for three minutes though; but by some miracle; she came back to us" Melissa says hugging the boy, "Thanks Melissa" Stiles says.

He goes to her room to see his dad with her talking; she smiles at him, "Hey Stiles" she says.

He automatically hugs her basically swishing her; "Please never do that to me again; ever" Stiles says.

She nods and just smiles at him. "Go check on Scott and Allison; Stiles, I'm okay, plus dad's here" she motions over to the man asleep on the uncomfortable chair in the hospital room.

Stiles just chuckled and excuses himself by giving her another hug; he rushes out getting inside his jeep Noah drove to the hospital; to check on Allison, Scott and Jackson.

Although going to the look out and noticing the vans open back doors and Jackson no where in seat, he immediately goes to the window of Allison's car and knocks on the window startling the two lovers awake.

"You guys might wanna come take a look at this" Stiles say pointing over at the transport van that's now empty, the three teens run over and Scott and Allison both look at each other understanding this their fault for not hearing him escape.

"I have to tell my father" Allison says fearfully.

Scott begins walking over past the van in disbelief: "Scott, he's going to kill someone" Allison states again; "Okay, tell him. Tell him everything" Scott says.

Stiles now understanding he has to call his father while at the hospital with his sister and daughter.

"Scott, I gotta tell mine too" he says, "This is all my fault" Scott says, "It's not, but we have to tell them, we're just a bunch of teenagers. We can't handle this, look at what he did to Marlo, someone who's a vampire and strong" Allison says.

"You're right" Scott says, "How are you gonna make your dad believe all this?" Allison asks Stiles.

"I don't know; but I'm going to feel awful when I call him and tell him and he'll have to leave Marlo at the hospital; she died by the way, and then by some miracle was brought back" Stiles murmurs.

Allison takes a breathe or relief hearing that the older woman is okay, "He'll believe me" Scott said flashing his beta eyes; "That's good she's alive though Stiles; she's here." Allison says.

Scott just nods, as Stiles and Scott rush to the police station having told Sheriff Stilinski to meet them there; they arrive only to find Jackson and his father waiting for them in Stilinski's office awaiting a restraining order on the two teenage boys.

As Marlo sits in hospital that night she discharges herself feeling completely fine; but doesn't know she's being watched but by who?

─────────────────

MARLO ENTERS HER apartment she is met with a worried best friend and basically son in law staring at her from the couch.

"Are you okay?" Erica asks staring at her other leader seeing the blood on her clothes and her still looking a little pale.

"Now I am; get to see my favourite people; Where's Derek?" Marlo asks, "Your bedroom" Isaac says answering the vampire.

"Okay well; I'm exhausted, I'm going to shower and go to bed; so goodnight my lovely's" Marlo says taking the leather jacket she has on and putting it on the jacket rack on the wall.

As she enters her bedroom she meets a very naked Derek Hale in a towel across from her.

"Not that this isn't a good sight but why are you showering in my shower when you have your own downstairs?" Marlo asks making herself known.

"Yours has better water pressure; plus I know you'd wanna cuddle tonight" Derek shrugs.

Marlo just smiles and rushes to hug the man; "By the way, my phone is broken; Scott broke it" Marlo says leaning her head against her man's wet chest.

"Wait what?" Derek asks confused, "I died again too; weird how easy that comes out of my mouth hey?" Marlo just shrugs innocently taking off her clothes.

Leavingher in her bra and panties and shrugs off her bra leaving her completely bare on her top half; still in her panties.

"I'm showering because I have all this blood on me; now if you will excuse me sir" Marlo says walking into her bathroom and turning the shower on—and stepping out of her panties.

She immediately relaxes as the warm water rushes down her body.

She feels a presence in the bathroom with her and reaches up to grab her shampoo and conditioner.

"Don't just stand there Der—work those magical hands on my head please" Marlo asks peaking her head around the corner of the shower to see Derek completely naked now without the towel she has for him set up.

He steps in behind her helping her wash her hair and massaging her scalp; she just moans in pleasure feeling him rub up against her ass.

She rinses the shampoo out and then he begins with the conditioner; repeating the same process although her moans are doing something to his lower region.

They finish their shower together and eventually pass out beside each other cuddling knowing tomorrows just gonna become a longer day for them to recover from.
