╰┈˚ · ° .  THAT MORNING AT SCHOOL WE DECIDED TO MEET IN THE LIBRARY so I could show the others the translated parts of the bestiary.

I was walking next to Allison when we arrived, the boys already hiding in one of the sections between the bookshelves. Choosing the one following theirs being careful of the surveillance cameras, I passed Scott the ipad.

"It's everything Lydia and I could translate" I said in a hushed tone

"Wait, Lydia?" Stiles asked, I could see from the space between the books his wide eyes

"Yes, she helped me"

"And what'd you tell her?" Scott asked me while looking away from the ipad to speak

Since I didn't really want to tell them that she knew, I quickly found an excuse. "That we were part of an online gaming community that battles mythical creatures." As I said that I could hear Alec chuckle to himself. He knew that I told Lydia everything, just like he suggested.

"Really?" Allison said while her smile dripped with amusement

"Yup" I answered her with a wink

"I am part of an online gaming community that battles mythical creatures." Stiles said completely serious

"O-oh. Great." Awkwardly said the young Argent

"Okay, does it say how to find out who's controlling him?" Scott asked me

"Not really. But Stiles was right about the murderers." I started, earning an excited but still softly spoken 'Yes' from the boy "It calls the Kanima

a weapon of vengeance. There's a story in there about this South American priest who uses the Kanima to execute murderers in his village"

"All right, see? So maybe it's not all that bad." Stiles tried to diffuse the very hard situation at hand

"Until the bond grew strong enough that it killed whoever he wanted it to." I added with deadpanned face to the Stilinski boy

"All bad, all very, very bad." Stiles commented

"You think?" Alec sarcastically said before I could hear him start to walk away from the pair

"Here's the thing, though. The Kanima's actually supposed to be a werewolf. But it can't be." I said remembering the bestiary words

"Until it resolves that in its past which manifested it. " Scott read from the translated page

"Okay, if that means that Jackson could use a few hundred hours of therapy, I could've told you that myself." Stiles unhelpful commented

I felt a warm body at my back, strong arms wrapped around my middle, Alec scent drifting up my nose "try with a few thousands" He commented, his voice slightly muffled as he buried his head in the crook of my neck. The anger that I felt yesterday completely gone today as took in his scent.

"What if... It has something to do with his parents? His real parents." Allison suggested

"Yeah, does anybody actually know what happened to them?" Scott asked looking between our group

"Lydia might." Stiles suggested

"What if she doesn't know anything?"

Putting back the book that she was faking reading, Allison said "Well, he doesn't have a restraining order against me, so... I'll talk to him myself."

"Okay, what do I do?" Scott asked

"You have a make-up exam, remember?" His girlfriend said to the teen wolf "Promise me." Allison added while holding Scott's hand from between the shelves

"Can you go with her?" Scott asked me with slightly pleading look

I grimaced at him. I honestly really wanted to but "I'm sorry but... he hates me. He would never say anything if I'm there."

"And let's be honest, Jackson is going to say something that will make her angry, like always, and she will just kill him. Or maybe I will kill him first. Both cases scenarios, the fucker is dead." Alec said. Thicker italian accent seeping through his words as slight anger rose in him

I turned my head to the side, the night had really helped me to calm my anger against him. I kissed his jaw before leaning my body against him. I could feel how he quickly relaxed

"You are right," Scott said defeated before looking at his girlfriend "If he does anything, you run the other way."

"I can take care of myself."

Allison, if you get hurt while I'm busy with some stupid test, someone's going to need to take care of me. If he does anything... "Like?

"Anything... Weird or bizarre... anything."

"Anything evil!" Stiles interrupted pushing his head between the open space left by the books.

I slapped a hand o my mouth to contain the laugh as Allison pushed him back

"Not angry anymore, little witch?" Alec whispered in my ear with a teasing tone

I rolled my eyes, slipping away from his hold "I wasn't. Now I am again, demon."

The bell rang signaling the beginning of our classes. I looked one last time at Allison, Scott and Stiles before dragging my boyfriend away with me

───── ⋆⋅⋆｡ ﾟ☽𖦹☾ ﾟ｡⋆⋅⋆ ─────

╰┈˚ · ° .  Alec and I were walking together after class. From the open window a slight breeze entered the building making me stop in my tracks.

"Ellie?" Alec asked but I could only focus on the whispered words that the wind brought to my ears.

Communicating with nature through the wind was even worse than through visions, probably. Most of the time it was whispered words that, for the life of me, I could not understand.

I walked more towards the window where the wind was entering "Alright, I guess something witchy is going on here" I faintly heard Alec comment but I continued to focus on the wind.

My spine straightened as chills traveled down my back as I finally understood. "Fuck!"

I grabbed Alec's hand dragging him with me as I started running

"What the fuck is going on?" The shadow wolf whispered-yelled

"Allison and Jackson" I said and with that we both started running faster.

We arrived outside the boys locker room. Erica and Stiles were looking confused at a puddle of water that was on the ground and then the door opened and Scott and Jackson tumbled out, full on fighting each other.

Erica moved quickly to grab Jackson while Alec and Stiles did the same with Scott. I walked towards Allison checking her from head to toe

"Are you okay?" I asked a bit panicked

"Yeah, yeah." She said breathlessly but still gave me a small smile.

Oh I was so ready to kill Jackson.

"What the hell's going on?" The chemistry teacher, Adrian Harris, shouted "Hey! Enough! Enough." He placed himself between the two fighting boys, face red with anger "What do you idiots think you're doing? Jackson! Calm down! Mr. McCall, you wanna explain yourself? Stilinski!" He looked between all of us.

The silence was thick only to be broken by Matt, the guy who apparently had a huge crush on Allison "You dropped this." He said while offering Scott the ipad only for Mr. Harris to grab it harshly from his hand

"You and you... actually... all of you..." The teacher said while looking around at all the people present, "Detention. 3:00."

"How is that fair?" Alec shouted at him. "We only broke those two from fighting"

I could feel his anger rising, making me step beside him and intertwined our hands

"I don't care. Detention for everyone" Mr. Harris said with a final tone before stalking away.

"Stronzo" Grumbled Alec in italian [Stronzo]

Without a care of Matt hearing me I said "I should've put a heavier curse on him"

"I agree" Added Stiles nonchalantly making both Alec and I laugh loudly

I totally saw how the others shook their heads or the confused expression of Matt, but honestly, I didn't care.

"What did you say? That didn't seem very nice, was it?" I smirked up at my boyfriend

He grabbed my chin bringing me closer to him and matched my smirk with one of his own. Eyes sparkling with amusement.

It was definitely not a compliment.

───── ⋆⋅⋆｡ ﾟ☽𖦹☾ ﾟ｡⋆⋅⋆ ─────

╰┈˚ · ° .  We filed into the library one after the other for our detention. Scott and Stiles sat with Erica at a table. Allison, Matt and Jackson to one. Alec and I directed ourselves to another.

"Oh, uh... we can't be in detention together. I have a restraining order

against these tools." Jackson cockly said to the techear

"All of these tools?" Mr. Harris asked

"No, just us tools." Stiles replied, his finger pointing at Scott and himself "And Alec" he nodded towards the bored looking male at my left who winked at Jackson without a care in world

"Fine. You two, over there." Mr. Harris said to the two best friend pointing at our table

"I'm gonna kill him." Scott announced as soon as he sat down in his chair almost shaking with anger

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

"No. You three were right, let's kill him." Scott spoke again after looking at Jackson

"Fine with me" I shrugged my shoulders

"I knew it was a good idea from the start" Alecc added

"You two are not helping!" Glared Stiles. His finger pointed at us in an accusing manner

I rolled my eyes at him and as our table fell into silence I decided that it was a good time to draw. Pencil in hand I started my sketch just as Stilles started to speak

"Hey. What if it's Matt? I mean, this whole thing comes back to the video, right?" Stiles asked his eyes trailing on the other human boy

"Danny said that Matt was the one who found the two hours of footage missing." Scott said

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

"So he makes Jackson kill Isaac's dad, one of Argent's hunters, and the mechanic working on your jeep?" Scott asked his best friend

"Yes!"

"And why would he do that?" Alec asked him, his fingers still playing with my hair

"Because... he's evil."

"Good enough answer for me" The shadow wolf said. I raised my eyes from my sketchbook enough to see him nod his head at the Stilinski boy

"You just don't like him." I deadpanned

"The guy... Bugs me. I don't know what it is. Just look at his face." As Stiles said that we turned towards Matt who was offering some chips to Jackson

"I believe you, Stiles. He is offering his chips to that asshole. No one sane of mind would do that to him. As we all noticed, Jackson is an asshole and rude."

"Are you describing yourself, little witch?" Alec asked with amusement

"I would've added insanely gorgeous and very talented if I was describing myself." I commented nonchalantly earning a snort from the boy

"Of course, but I must say that you forget to add awfully humble and highly psychotic" Alec grinned

"Yes to the first, no to the second. I'm not you, love." The smirk that the Di Luna boy gave was enough to almost make me blush. I honestly didn't know if I wanted to just make out with him in the middle of the library or reduce myself to a stuttering mess. I chose option three, I ignored the boy and went back to my drawing.

"If you two are done...Any other theories?" Scott asked

"You okay?" We heard Matt ask

Standing up from his seat with a grimace of pain on his features, Jackson said "I have to go to the bathroom."

"Are you all right? Hey, you don't look so good." Preoccupied for his student, Mr. Harris asked

"I just need to get some water." Jackson replied as he walked out of the library

"No one leaves their seats." Mr. Harris said as he followed after him.

As soon as the teacher was out of the library too, Scott and Stiles quickly rose from their seat and went to Erica's table

"What are you drawing?" Alec asked inching closer to me

I hummed under my breath not really understanding his words, but I knew that I had shifted closer to him. Alec brushed his fingers through my hair and I was sure that if I would have looked up at him, a lovesick expression would've been plastered on his features.

"Ti amo da morire, lo sai?" He whispered softly in italian "Sei bellissima e tutta mia." [ I love you to death, you know that? - You are gorgeous and all mine]

"I don't know what you said but..." I smiled softly as I finally raised my eyes from my sketch "I love you too"

His lips crushed against mine in a soft kiss, his hand cradling the back of my head. It wasn't a long kiss but it was enough to make our love bleed between light strokes of our tongues.

"Scott McCall, please report to the principal's office." On the P.A. Allisson's mother announced.

We looked at the boy in question who with a sigh, rose from his seat and walked out.

"Ellie?" Alec asked with confusion filled tone

I turned towards him only to notice his eyes focused on my sketchbook "What?"

"Did you mean to draw that?" He asked, making me finally look at my drawing.

It was the outside of a house, one that I recognized quickly. The Hale manor. The house was exactly as I remembered it to be years ago. In pristine condition. But what was weird was the silhouette of a person that stood there looking at it. It wasn't detailed enough but it was clear that it was a girl, she was barefoot and as the more I looked at it the more I felt off. Like something was draining me of my energy. I shutted close the sketchbook, swallowing the lump in my throat

"I take that as a no." Alec commented, wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

"It happens sometimes. That I draw something that I didn't mean to. Grams says they are like the visions" I explained as I buried my head in his chest

"And what happened before, with the wind?"

"It talks to me sometimes. I don't usually understand it though"

"Like the visions and the drawing? All tools for nature to communicate with you?" Alec asked as his hand cupped my cheek

"Yeah" I mumbled.

I kissed the underside of his jaw just as Jackson returned into the library.

I intertwined mine and Alec's hands "Let's see what those two are doing." I said nodding my head towards Erica and Stiles who seemed very focused on whatever the girl was doing on her computer,

"Found anything?" I asked as we sat down in front of the two just as Mr. Harris and Jackson entered again the library

"Still searching." Stiles muttered back. "Oh, look at the dates."

"Passengers arrived at the hospital doa. The estimated time of death... 9:26 P.M., June 14, 1995." Erica reed from the file

I sighed out loud, "Jackson's birthday is June 15th." I told them. Looking at each other, we realize the meaning of it.

Everyone noticed the teacher collecting his things making all us teens do the same thinking that the detention was already over.

"Oh, no, I'm sorry." Adrian Harris chuckled, eyes full of mirth "Uh, yes, I'm leaving. But none of you are. You may go when you're done with the re-shelving. Enjoy the rest of your evening." And with that he was gone.

───── ⋆⋅⋆｡ ﾟ☽𖦹☾ ﾟ｡⋆⋅⋆ ─────

╰┈˚ · ° .  Scott had returned from the principal office, or more so from talking with Allison's mother. Stiles, Scott, Allison, Alec and I all gathered around one of the book-filled cart explaining to the couple what we had found out.

"It means he was born after his mom died... by c-section. They had to pull him out of her dead body." Stiles explained

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

"The word all over the report is 'inconclusive.' " Stiles said

"Just like the word accident in The Hale fire. And we all know that it wasn't" I scoffed.

"So are you two saying his parents could have been murdered?" Scott asked me with furrowed eyebrows

"If they were, then it falls in line with the Kanima myth." Alec answered

"Right, like you know? It seeks out and kills murderers." Stiles nodded adding to what the dark haired boy had said

"But for Jackson? Or for whoever's controlling him?" The Argent girl wondered

"We have to talk to him." With wide eyes Scott said as he started to walk away "We have to tell him."

"He's not gonna..."

"Scott!"

Allison and I both tried to stop him to no avail. The four of us looked at each other before the electricity started crackling. My eyes glowed gold at the same time Alec's darkened to complete black. Looking up towards the ceiling, the figure of Jackson jumping from bookshelves to bookshelves, going as high as the ceiling and creating cracks in it, caught our eyes. Sparks and pieces of ceiling started to fall as the Kanima passed above us. Arms caught my waist tugging me aggressively to the ground until I was covered completely by Alce's body. Over the sound of the destruction I could hear a roar followed by a scream. I moved my head slightly out looking for Stiles and Allison, that fortunately, both were near us and seemed unharmed

"You okay?" I asked the two humans, earning nods from them.

I felt Alec cup my cheeks to turn my head towards him. His eyes scanning across my features and then down my body. "I'm fine, love." I whispered knowing that even with all the noise he could hear me

"Are you sure?" His thick Italian accent slipped from his tongue. I noticed that it almost always did whenever he was angry, worried or experiencing high stress levels. Like his mind was too clouded to mask it.

My only answer was a quick peck on his lips "You?" He grunted his answer, straightening his hold on me.

We heard a crush coming from near us, all of us seeing Scott being thrown into a cart. I extended my hand for the werewolf, which he quickly grabbed as he crouched next to us. Our attention now all focused on a half turned Jackson, writing on the board with chalk without looking at it. The words 'Stay out of my way, or I'll kill all of you' stared back at us as the Kanima quickly jumped out of the window making his escape.

"Fuck, if that wasn't creepy as hell..." Alec muttered with a sigh

"Yeah, I'll give him an 8 out of 10 for the performance." I joked earning a chuckle from my boyfriend and Stiles

Our group stood up to take a closer look at the board only for Alec and I to stop when hearing groanings and heavy breaths. On the ground was Erica, her arms locked and eyes unfocused as her body shook.

"Whoa, hey, hey, hey, hey!" Stiles was the first to move, cradling the girl in his arms "I think she's having a seizure."

"Aly check Matt" I told the Argent girl as Scott, Alec and I all kneeled next to the blonde girl.

Allison didn't waste time, she checked his pulse breathing out in relief when she felt it "He's alive." She said

"Hey, we need to get her to a hospital." Stiles stated looking at girl in his arms

"Derek... only to Derek." Erica weakly stuttered

"When we get her to the hospital..." Scott started as he looked at his girlfriend from across the bookshelves only to be cut off by Erica

"To Derek. To Derek."

"She is right. We need to take her to Derek. He is her Alpha. He'll know what to do." I said looking at Scott

"Go." Allison stated making Scott quickly shoot on his feet and run towards her

Overhearing their conversation and the broken look in Scott's eyes once he finally came back to us, I said "I'll stay with her. You, Stiles and Alec take Erica to Derek."

"Thank you" Scott whispered, taking Derek's beta in his arms.

Not really surprising, Alec stayed too. "I thought you were going?" I asked with a half smile

"You are not, so I'm staying too." Alec said like it was a matter of fact. "I'm not leaving you, amore." He muttered in a whispered tone after kissing the crown of my head

I smiled at him, a soft and genuine smile that I rarely show even to the one that I loved the most.

I then kneeled next to Allison, squeezing her shoulder for support. I knew even without her saying it out loud, this situation with Scott was starting to hurt her. She wanted to love him in the open without fearing any repercussions. But alas, it wasn't like that.

I took my phone out from the pocket of my jeans "I'll call the ambulance" I said while dialing the number and soon the paramedics and the police swarmed the school library.
