╰┈˚ · ° .    APPARENTLY THE PLAN TO STEAL THE BESTIARY FROM GERALD turned into a night where Derek almost drowned and both him, Stiles and Erica almost got killed by the creature. The creature that we now know by the name of Kanima. Other than that, everything is still very much unclear.

That morning Lydia drove me to school. We haven't talked much face to face lately, of course we exchanged messages everyday. But I was too consumed by the supernatural mess and Alec. And I felt like a shitty friend and even worse when she explained to me that yesterday, when her mother woke her up, she had apparently punched a mirror during the night.

"A mirror?" I asked still trying to process what she had actually told me

"Yes, a mirror. There was blood everywhere on my sheets"

"And you don't remember anything?"

With a tired sigh she answered "Not a thing. Mom sent me to the school counselor."

"Maybe she can help?" I tried

With a scoff she said "Right, of course. The school counselor is going to help understand why I spent two days in the woods, I punch mirrors while asleep and why I don't remember a thing."

"Everything will be okay, Lyds. I swear. I will help you" I said knowing that I was already searching in the grimoires and journals and in every place that could help me understand her behavior on a more supernatural side.

"Yeah, how?" She scoffed again. "I'm fine. I don't need help" she said it like she was trying to convince herself more than me of it "So" A smile that I knew was for at least part fake appeared on her face "Alec and you?"

"I don't want to talk about it now. We are talking about you."

"And I said that I'm fine" She snapped "I don't want to talk about it anymore."

"Fine, for now I will drop this but it doesn't mean that we will not speak of it again" I said with seriousness "And you already know everything because I sent a message yesterday where I explained everything that happened"

"I still want to hear you say it" She grinned widely taking her eyes off the road for just a second

"Say what?"

"You know" She said with deadpanned tone

After a second of glaring at my best friend I finally ceded "Yes, I really like him. Yes, we are together now and yes, you were right."

"I knew it" She smiled at me and for the first time I could see that she had a real smile on her lips "He is good for you. I can already tell."

"Good is not something you can associate with Alec. I actually think he would pass me the knife to kill someone and then help me hide the body"

"And that is why he is good for you"

╰┈˚ · ° .   In economy class, I sat next to Lydia while Alec took the seat next to me. The surprise was Jackson taking in the seat behind Scott. The surprise only increased when he opened his mouth to talk.

"Hey! Testicle left and right. What the hell is a Kanima?" Scott, Stiles, Alec and I all snapped our heads towards the boy

"All right, listen up. A quick warning before we begin our review. Some of you, like McCall, might want to start their own study group, because tomorrow's midterm is so profoundly difficult that I'm not even too sure I could pass it." Coach Finstock said "okay I need a volunteer at the board to answer the first question." Lydia raised her hand and went to the board.

"Paralyzed from the neck down. Do you have any idea what that feels like?" I focused again on Jackson

"I'm familiar with the sensation." Stiles said, knowing the feeling after being paralyzed by the venom of the creature when the Kanima had killed his mechanic.

"Wait, why would Derek test you? Why would he think that it's you?"

"How should I know?"

"He is lying" Alec murmured under his breath after hearing his slightly altered heartbeat

"Wait, do they think it is Lydia?" Stiles asked

"I don't know, all I heard was her name and something about chemistry" Jakson explained

I kind of wanted to shoot out of my seat, track my cousin down and kill him in a very painful way.

"Jackson! Do you have something that you want to share with the rest of the class?" The coach yelled at the boy

"Just an undying admiration for my coach"

"That is really kind of you" As our teacher said that Jackson seemed very pleased with himself until he continued "Now shut up! Shut it! Anybody else"

"How do we know it's not her?" Scott asked

"It's not" I said

Alec moved his desk closer to mine and wrapped his arm around my shoulder "I believe you" he said "If you think it's not her then I believe you"

I melted into his arm and at that moment I really wanted to kiss him. And then I noticed the board. Incomprehensible words written all over and a crying Lydia squeezing her eyes tightly as she faced the class.

I shot up from my seat moving in front of her "Lydia" I said and her eyes snapped open. Lydia panted as tears continued to stream down her face

"Okay then, anybody else wants to try answering? This time in English?" Coach asked confused

At that the strawberry blonde haired girl turned around, her eyes widened at what she saw. "Hey, It's okay" I said, wrapping an arm around her shoulder and steering her shooked frame away "Let's get you cleaned up, alright" I said with the softest tone I could muster.

I looked at Alec knowing he was listening, he nodded back. Without even looking at the teacher, I opened the door and walked away with my best friend trembling in my arms.

The rest of the economics class we spent it in the bathroom. Lydia didn't talk. Not even once. She didn't explain what happened or why she was so freaked out. In the end it didn't matter if I really wanted to know, because as soon as the bell rang she gave a smile that was somewhat real and thanked me. What she wanted was to continue the rest of the day like the 'accident' in class never happened. I tried to convince her to skip the rest of the day off with me but she was having none of it. And that was a problem, because as soon as we entered chemistry, I knew this is where Derek's betas wanted to test her as Erika and Isaac both were there, wearing matching cocky smirks.

╰┈˚ · ° .   I never cared. Since I was little there were very few things that I cared about. My mother always used to say that it didn't matter how many things, people I cared about because when I did, when I cared for something, someone... I did it with all myself, all my heart and soul.

My family was for most of my life the only people I cared for, not even my pack with cousins and uncles and aunts, just my mother and father and older brother. And then my mother died, and my father abandoned us and it remained just my brother. We both grew cold. To each other, to the world. I made myself not care about anything anymore, until her.

Elizabeth Hale never melted the shields of ice around my heart, because now I know that she was already inside. She always had been in my heart, she always consumed my soul. And now, I could recognize it.

I didn't care about the supernatural mess, I didn't care if someone could get hurt, I didn't care about Stiles and Scott. Elizabeth was the only one, and I wasn't ashamed to say that I would rather watch the entire population of Beacon Hills die than see her with a single scratch. I knew that it was different for her because there were other people that she loved. Lydia Martin was on that list, and I knew that if anything would happen to her, Elizabeth would never forgive herself and honestly, if her best friend died, she would make fire rain on everyone else.

I didn't like seeing her hurt physically or emotionally. As soon as I understood the plan of Derek's beta in the chemistry class, I knew that Lydia Martin was off limits. No harm would come to her.

Elizabeth sat next to her best friend when suddenly Scott and Stiles both rushed with chairs in their hands and sat next to the two best friends at their same table.

"Oh my gods. Someone give me the strength to not kill them." I heard the hybrid mutter under her breath and I couldn't help but smile. She was a very murderous little thing.

Mr. Harris then started his lesson "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 - I didn't ask for volunteers. Put your hormonal little hands down. Start with Mr. McCall. All right, next two."

For the first shift, Scott paired with Erica, Allison with Lydia, Stiles with Elizabeth, I ended up being paired with some random student. I honestly didn't even bother to help my partner, the boy did everything. I was too focused on something else. Staring at my girl who was cursing at Stiles and threatening to kill him by drowning him in chemicals if he dared to touch anything and ruin her work. I honestly don't know how she can came up with all this creative way to kill, but it was hot as fuck.

"Switch" The teacher boredly said while ring a bell

The pairs switched again, I didn't move. I watched Allison sat next to her, both turning towards Lydia who was paired with Scott with a matching worried expression. I heard the chair scratching on the floor and a floral perfume invaded my nostril. Erica apparently decided to sit next to me.

"You are Alec, right?" She said, I still didn't move. I didn't turn towards her nor did I acknowledge her presence in any way "I'm Erica, but I guess you already know that."

Apparently tired of me not talking to her she decided to take her approach a step forward. Her hand touched my thigh and I stilled under her touch. My eyes darkened as my thoughts rushed in how many ways I could kill her. I commanded my shadows to wrap around her wrist in a tight hold as I turned towards her "Take your hand off me before I crush all the bones in your hand till they resemble more a powder than actual bones"

I felt the fear oozing off her but she still smiled at me flirtatiously "Why? We could have fun?"

"Yes, I will if you don't take your hand off me, Erica. I'm not telling you a third time." My eyes shifted to the black onyx as her into gold. She shifted her eyes towards Elizabeth who I knew was listening even if she was focused on the project.

"Why would you want someone who came from a line that cursed you? We could be so much better together."

I had no patience left. My shadows did the trick, they took her hand off of me like I wanted and broke her wrist. I couldn't actually break all the bones of her hand since that would be quite painful and would make her scream in agony. Maybe as soon as we get out of school.

"You would have more of a chance with Danny that is gay than with me" I told her boredly. My shadows disappeared and eyes turned back to their brown natural color

"Why" She weakly snarled with glowing gold eyes while cradling her wrist

I didn't take my eyes off my girl as I answered her "Because you are not her." It was simple like that. I smirked turning towards Erica, It was a dangerous kind of smirk that made her feel even more afraid then she already was. "And you might want to watch your back. Like she told your Alpha, witches do not make good enemies, and you just angered one very powerful. You are trying to kill her best friend and that for sure earned you her wrath but I will tell you something else, you touched what is hers." I chuckled "I really would not like to be you right now."

As soon as I said that, a thunder boomed through the sky. One that was still perfectly clear of any cloud. Magic. Erica jumped in her seat like the majority of the class and then... Mr. Harris rang his bell once again for a switch in partners.

I laughed loudly at the girl who scurried away from the seat "Mr. Di Luna." Harris reprimed, making me grin even wider as I walked to sit next to Elizabeth.

"Had fun?" She asked, still focused on the project.

"Would have been funnier if I would have been able to pulverize her hand like I wanted but... too much noise."

Now she turned towards me with a raised eyebrow in amusement "Really?"

I hummed my positive answer, grinning while inching closer to her "The thunder really helped to deliver the threat though. It was very in sync"

Her smirk was sly and cunning "Thanks" She said before turning back to work on the assignment but I noticed how her eyes shifted to forward every once in a while where Isaac now sat with Lydia.

"She will be fine" I told her under my breath

"Yeah" Elizabeth said but it didn't look like she really believed it.

"Time." Mr. Harris rang the bell once again "If you've 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."

I looked at the crystal in the beaker, of course she did it. "Good job, amore." [Love] She scowled trying to hide the way her cheeks pinkened at the praise making me smile even wider. But then I saw how her face quickly morphed to concern when she watched Lydia. Opposite to her crystals, Lydia's one dripped with some kind of liquid. Kanima venom.

"Lydia!" Scott yelled

"What?" The strawberry blonde girl asked confused.

"Nothing." He said as it was too late. The girl had already touched the crystal coated with venom.

Lydia proceeded to eat it, I thought that Elizabeth would say something but when I turned towards her she was like freezed in her spot. Eyes closed and blood dripped down her ears.

What the fuck!?

She was having another vision, I knew that but still didn't stop me from panicking. I took her head in between my hands as soon as I felt her coming around again "Ellie" shouted-whispered "C'mon, little witch" Her gasps were frenetic when she finally opened her eyes. "Shh, it's okay. You're okay" I hugged her close to my body hating the way she winced at the pain in her head

"Lydia" She said weakly

"She didn't pass the test, Ellie." I told her. The venom didn't paralyzed

"It's not her," She said. And when I looked down, I saw in her eyes how much she believed it.

"Okay then, I believe you" I moved her hair away from her face "Why are you bleeding?"

"It was a scream." She whispered. "I will tell you later" She never told me what her visions were about so I was kind of surprised when she said that.

"Alright" I said. Then I noticed the figure outside the classroom. Derek "Let's get you cleaned up before the lesson ends. Your cousin is outside"

After I said that, she snapped her head towards the windows and wincing at the pain in her head "Careful" I growled. I took my phone out and sent a message to Scott.

Alec

I need to take Elizabeth somewhere. 

We will meet you outside the class as soon as it is over.

Scott

I can smell her blood. Is she alright?

When he said that I noticed how he was looking towards us already with a worried expression

"Vision" Elizabeth whispered loud enough for Scott to hear with his super hearing. The boy looked a bit confused but still nodded his head.

"Let's go" I said to the girl grabbing both our bags

"Where do you two think are going?" Mr Harris yelled when he noticed us walking toward the door. It took one glare from Elizabeth to make the man shut up.

The girls bathroom was definitely cleaner than the boy's one. With a wet paper towel I cleaned the blood off her skin. "What is it?" I asked when I noticed the way she was acting

"Do you really believe that Lydia is not Kanima or did you just say that because that is what I wanted to hear?" She asked after a second

Still cleaning her up I asked, "Do you believe that she is not the Kanima?"

"I know that she is not. It's just a feeling. I can't really explain." She said

I moved her head enough for her to look straight at me in the eyes "Then I know that Lydia is not the Kanima. I believe you. Not because you said it but because I trust your witchy sense and all those things."

Her arms wrapped around my waist and she buried her head on my chest. I didn't waste a second to hug her back.

"How much time before the bell?" She asked, her voice slightly muffled by my clothes

"I don't know" I said hugging her tighter and burying my head in her hair "I don't care"

"We can cuddle later, love" She chuckled " But Derek is going to kill Lydia so..."

I smiled when I heard the pen name slipping by her lips. The same one I use for her in italian. My lips crashed on hers in a hungry kiss. She yelped not expecting me to do that, giving my tongue easier access to her mouth.

I loved the way that she never left me the control without a fight, even if I knew how she loved how it was me in the end, the one that always won, how she could just feel and leave the reins in my hands. How she could lose herself in the moment leaving the control to me.

"Alec we-" she said when our lips detached. But it took me just another second for me to kiss her again, cutting her off. When I gripped the hair at the base of her neck a moan escaped her lips, I knew that we had to stop. Her friend was in real danger. So with an almost pained groan, I stopped our kiss.

"Fuck!" I said between panting breaths trying to control how hard my dick had gotten. "Alright, the bell is going to ring soon, but I swear to everything that exists, we are going to continue this later."

She looked down, noticing my erection that I was grinding against her not even thirty seconds ago. Her laugh was almost silent by how she was so out of breath by the kiss."You might want to do something about that before you get out this bathroom"

"Are you volunteering to help?" I smirked at her

"No." she said amused "Think of something else. Like something gross."

Yeah, the only thing I could think about at that moment was bending her over the sink and fucker her "Not working. Get out. I can't think of something else with you here. Definitely not with you staring at my dick like that"

"Like what?" She said with eyes of mischief

"Elizabeth, I give you five second to get the fuck out of here before I make you get on your knees in one of this stalls so you can suck my cock until I come down your throat." I honestly was barely containing myself from literally pouncing at her.

Her jade eyes widened and I saw how she clenched her thighs together. The sweet scent of her arousal started to invade the bathroom in a new wave. I think she noticed that or how my eyes shifted to black. I knew she had some kind of bratty thing to say but she decided to bolt out of the room giving me time to breathe without her here invading my senses.

Hello everyone!

A little thing in the end for you. Much more will come as I said it before, this story will contain smut. But I'm sorry to say that you will have to wait just a bit more for it (Still in season 2 though)😉 

I really loved writing the Erica/Alec scene (plus Elizabeth thunder) It's definitely something that she would have said. She was definitely too insecure and had zero confidence. The bite just masked it. At least that is my opinion. You will read something about it in the next chapter or something. Let me know your thoughts on this.

Anyways, thank you for reading this chapter, I'll see you on Tuesday (January 9ths)!
