╰┈˚ · ° .   SITTING AT THE TABLE WHILE HAVING BREAKFAST WITH MY GRANDMOTHER and sipping an anti-pregnancy brew was definitely not how I wanted my morning to go. The clear smirk on my grandmother's face as she tried to suppress her laughter didn't help either.

"Oh my gods, can you stop please" I whined, covering my red face from embarrassment with my head

"Well, maybe next time you can use condoms and spare us this pathetic show" Hex commented from her place on the table curled on her pillow. Her hissing voice slightly muffled by the huge piece of bacon that she was eating

"Finally!" Chipred Citrin, my grandmother's familiar. "It took you two long enough."

"Can't agree more with you, Citrin" Grams hummed

"How is this conversation shifted this way?" I grumbled "And shouldn't you tell me to be careful and what not. I mean at least don't encourage me?" I asked my grandmother. Not like I actually wanted her to do it anyways.

"Oh sweetheart, we all know that wolves tend to be very uh- primal. Condoms would never work in your case and plus you are being careful. You are drinking the tea." She said. My face couldn't get any more red from embarrassment.

"I really don't want to talk about this with you grams." I said hoping that she would just stop talking about it

"Yes, let's just change the topic or I'm going to throw up" Hex said, her tone filled with disgust

"Can you even throw up?" I asked confused to my familiar

"If we continue with this subject we will find out" The dragon-serpent hybrid hissed, her forked tongue slipping through her fangs

"Are you happy?" Grams asked, her eyes pleading me to answer her

After a second of hesitation, I honestly answered "I am" I said, lips twisted in a soft smile "I love him" My voice was mere whispers but it was loud enough apparently for the joyful duo composed by my grandmother and her familiar to hear.

"She is in loveeee!" Citrin shouted happily "Did you heard Rosie, our little niece is in love!"

"Oh gods" Hex and I mumbled, wincing at the hummingbird-butterfly hybrid loud tone

"Yes, I heard!" Grams cheerfully explained "I always knew that he was going to break those thick walls around your heart enough for him to slither inside. That boy always loved you. I barely saw you two together when you were little and I still thought that you two would end up together one day."

"We literally cound't be in the same room without insulting each other or at least glare at each other." I said even if Alec had actually admitted what my grams had said.

"We should invite him over at dinner!" Citrin suggested completely ignoring my sentence.

"Good idea! Oh, I'm so happy!"

As the chirpy duo continued to sprig up ideas for this dinner with Alec, I exchanged panicked and annoyed looks with my familiar. Drinking the last of my tea, Hex didn't have another second to slither towards me.

"I swear one of these days, I'm going to eat that bird and your grandmother." Hex hissed angrily, her words barely heard over the loud noises that Citrin and my grandmother were making. Quickly before any of the duo could notice us, Hex disappeared in a purple mist and I all but ran out of the door.

╰┈˚ · ° .  The plan was starting to slowly form. We had a location, The Rave, where we were sure Jackson was going to be. Derek's pack was going to help us. Now, back at the animal clinic, Alec, Scott, Stiles and I were talking with Deaton for the last details.

"Ketamine?" Scott asked his boss as the black man held the jar of medicine and a syringe gun.

"It's the same stuff we use on the dogs, just a higher dosage." Deaton explained "If you can get close enough to Jackson, it should slow him down enough to buy you some time." Then taking in his hand the same jar that I used the other day he said "This is some of what you'll use

to create the barrier. This part is for you, Stiles."

"Uh, that sounds like a lot of pressure." Stiles commented with his usual level of sarcasm while taking in his hand the jar "Can we maybe find

a slightly less pressure-filled task for me?"

"It's from the mountain ash tree, which is believed by many cultures

to protect against the supernatural." I explained

"This office is lined with ash wood, making it difficult for someone like Scott to cause me any trouble." Deaton added

"Okay, so then what? I just spread this around the whole building and then either Jackson or whoever's controlling him can't cross it?" Stiles aske

"They'll be trapped." Deaton nodded

"Doesn't sound too hard." Scott commented

"Not all there is. Think of it like gunpowder. It's just powder until a spark ignites it. You need to be that spark, Stiles." Deaton explained of it worked

"If you mean light myself on fire, I don't think I'm up for that."

"Let me try a different analogy. I used to golf. I learned that the best golfers never swing before first imagining where they want the ball to go. They see it in their mind and their mind takes over. It can be pretty extraordinary what the force of your own will can accomplish."

"Force of will." Stiles muttered trying to hide his panic

"I can help you" I said

"How, aren't you a werewolf too?" Scott naked

"Yes but she is a witch. Nature doesn't permit that something of its creation would hurt its daughters. Even if she is part werewolf." Alec explained with a smirk

"So you can help me?! Fantastic!" Stiles exclaimed, happy that the responsibility would shift at list half off his shoulders

"It would be better for her to be inside with the others, actually" Deaton said "Elizabeth is not only a strong werewolf, but her abilities as a witch surpass any of yours. She could help with the capture of Jackson. And she is the only one of you that can pass the barrier if needed without breaking it"

"Oh damn!" Stiles groaned, his hands going to his head to mess with his buzz cut hair.

"Hey I tried, sorry Stiles. It's all on you, I guess" I shrugged my shoulders, trying to hide my grin from the glaring teenager.

"Did you have to point it out?"

"Alright, we have a solid plan now. We capture Jackson at the Rave." Alec said before adding with a roll of his beautiful dark eyes "Even if I would very much prefer to kill him"

I smirked up at him, wrapping my hand around his arm. "Thanks for the help Deaton" I said before winking at the two best friends and dragging my boyfriend out of the animal clinic.

Me dragging him out didn't last, soon his arms wrapped around me, lifting me on his shoulders as soon as we were out of the building. My head upside down, legs dangling down his chest. One of his hands was firmly on my thigh, the other on my ass.

"Alec! Put me down" I yelled angrily at him even if I founded the situation highly amused

"Why would I? I have a great view" He commented as he roughly palmed one of my ass cheeks, and I just knew that a wide smirk was twisting his lips.

"Hey, asshole! I give you three seconds to put me down before I do it myself!"

Alec laughed out loud smacking me on the ass."Behave, little witch" He jocked. At least I didn't know if the red on my cheeks was from the sudden sexual desire that I knew he could scent or from being upside down.

"Fine," I grumbled. I curled my hand, squeezing it in a fist. Spikes of sharp pains formed in Alec's head, it was enough for him to grunt out and fall on his knees. But having my weight on him didn't help with the coordination making us both tumbled on the ground

"Was it necessary, little witch?" He grimaced, massaging his temple from the previous pain. I answered him with a wide grin, a laugh falling from my lips. "Sarai la mia morte." He said in Italian before pushing me down on the asphalt and looking at me with his infamous smirk. [You are going to be my death]

"Can you two not fuck in public?" Stiles' loud voice broke us from our own bubble.

The look on his face was enough to make both Alec and I burst out in a loud and uncontained laugh.

───── ⋆⋅⋆｡ ﾟ☽𖦹☾ ﾟ｡⋆⋅⋆ ─────

╰┈˚ · ° .   Alec and I met Isaac and Erica outside the place where the rave was organized. Even if we were there to capture Jackson that didn't mean that I didn't dress up. I was wearing leather shorts and a black lace bodysuit with knee high black combat boots and my leather jacket.

"Are you ready?" Isaac asked, under his cocky smirk I could smell the anxiety

"It's going to be okay." I said trying to calm everyone's nerves "Let's just go inside"

Earning a nod from the two betas, Alec wrapped his arm around my shoulders and so the four of us entered the building.

Soon the loud music belated from the speaker could be clearly heard even without super hearing. We separated from Isaac and Erica even if all of us started to blend in with the crowd.

My eyes widened when I saw the familiar figure of Allison, who seems to have a pretty heavy conversation with Scott.

"Shit" I muttered shaking my head

"What?" Alec asked clearly confused

I nodded my head towards the couple "I knew that Allison was going out with Matt tonight but I didn't think he was going to bring her here" I sighed out

"Hey" Alec started, he cupped my cheeks with his hands making me look at him "It's going to be okay, alright? Just like you said."

"Yeah" I said weakly. I really thought that at least she was going to be safe tonight.

Alec kissed my forehead and started to drag me away from the fighting couple. We mingled with the crowd, our eyes and enchanted senses searching for Jackson. Once we had our eyes on him, we started to dance, not once distracting ourselves from our end goal.

Minutes later Isaac and Erica founded us.

"Change of plan" The Lahey boy said, in his hand the syringe gun "The Argents are here. Boyd and Derek are outside waiting for them, Scott is going to make sure that they will not interfere with the plan. We need to do it ourselves." He explained

"Alright new plan" Alec said after seconds of no one talking "Erica, Isaac, you distract him"

"How?" The blonde girl asked

"Dance with him?" Alec said sarcastically, eyeing the people around us as he did "Elizabeth and I are going to be near. At the signal Isaac is going to inject him with Ketamine. Ellie and I are going to make sure that if the plan fails we will restrain him until one of you can inject him or make him pass out someway" And with that, not even giving the time to anyone to say something, he dragged me away.

Seconds, minutes passed. The loud music echoing in the crowded room, lights flashing around. It didn't take much for the plan to work, Erica and Isaac both approached Jackson, with the blonde in the middle the three of them started to dance together, grinding and kissing. Alec and I doing the same things just steps away from them. I caught Isaac's eyes and that is when I nodded my head. The plan was starting. I squeezed Alec's hand, both our attention on the three. It seemed that it was going well until Jackson used his claws to stab them both making them goran in pain

"She belongs to me" He said in a gravel voice distorted by the creature that he had transformed into.

Both betas fell to the ground, the syringe gun being moved by the feet of the people dancing on the dance floor.

"Fuck, Isaac the syringe" I yelled. Alec didn't waste a second. As soon as Jackson made a step forward his shadows coiled around his limbs. Both legs and arms constrict his movements. But even with that, it took a single slash to almost wound Alec as he had walked closer to the boy to help control his shadows better

"Subsisto." I casted my spell. Fist closed and directed towards Jackson who wasn't able to move anymore. He was fighting against the spell, I could feel it but fortunately Isaac armed again with the Ketamine filled syringe gun finally injected him. Jackson went limb, both Alec's shadows and my spell disappearing making him crash hard on the cemented floor.

"Hope that hurted." I said, eyeing the teenager that had smashed his head on the ground as he fell.

Alec 'accidentally' kicked him as he walked towards me. An innocent look plastered on his handsome features "I don't know what happened. Are you sure you didn't cast any spell on me, little witch?" He said sarcastically. We all knew that he did it on purpose. "To the next phase of our shitty plan." He sighed out sarcastically, rolling his eyes "Let's go" He said as he and Isaac both dragged an unconscious Jackson with them.

───── ⋆⋅⋆｡ ﾟ☽𖦹☾ ﾟ｡⋆⋅⋆ ─────

╰┈˚ · ° .   We took Jackson to a small room that once had been a bathroom, the wall made of metal panels and white bricks.

"He looks comfy." Alec commented sarcastically as the four of us watched the passed out Jackson on the chair. His head bent in a really uncomfortable angle.

The comment made snickers and snorts echoed around the room. "Yeah" Isaac said with a smirk, his hand coming to scratch his chin.

Suddenly the door opened, making us all go into defense and attack mode only to reveal Stiles.

"No, no, no! Just me, it's just me." Stiles yelled slightly panicked as he closed the door behind him "Don't freak." His eyes scanned the unconscious boy asking "Is he okay?"

Isaac sighed out as he walked to stand next to Jackson. "Well, let's find out." He said, his hand raised with his claws out ready to slash them across the chest.

Jackson opened his eyes, his lids revealing yellow reptilian eyes, his fingers wrapping around Isaac's wrist, the bones snapping in an instant

"Somnus." I yelled. The spell working making the kanima pass out again, but I could feel it trying to overpass the spell

"Thanks" Isaac muttered gratefully as his arm started to heal

"Okay, no one does anything like that again, okay?" Trying to stop his panic, Stiles commanded. His shoulders tense as he looked to all of us as he spoke

"Oh, I thought the ketamine was supposed to put him out." Isaac said, pain lacing his words

"Yeah, well, apparently not for much" Stailes stated the obvious "Good job at taking him down. Couldn't we do that from the beginning?" He questioned

"No, I can feel him fighting against my spell. This is one that is supposed to put people to sleep, not keeping them unconscious. Usually they wake up on their own in ten minutes from the spell. Him-" Then I pointed at Jackson, bead of sweet already forming on hairline "really wants to wake up"

"So let's just hope that whoever's controlling him just decided to show up tonight." Stiles said

I titled my head to the side in confusion, my magic bubbling under my skin. Pushing me to do something. I stepped forward only to be stopped by a hand on my arm

"What do you think you are doing?" Alec asked in confusion and slight agitation. His jaw clenched and body tense.

"Something" I muttered, matching his confusion. I sent him a look that said 'trust me'

He looked at me, a small glare in his deep chocolate eyes. He let out a breath before he removed his hand

"Ah... Witchy thing?" Stiles asked

"Witchy thing?" Questioned Isaac, eyebrows furrowed in confusion

"Witchy thing" Alec grumbled in low tone giving Stiles his answer

"Fantastic" The Stilinski boy sarcastically said

I rolled my eyes at them before I walked in front of Jackson. I used the small dose of Ketamine that we had left, I knew it was only enough to slightly weaken him. I raised my hand to his temples, my magic seeped through his skin from skin to skin contact, entering his mind, searching for his master. It didn't take long for me to accomplish that, I could feel their energy totally mixed together. The weird thing was that it was kind of familiar. My eyes widened at the new discovery.

"We know him," I said. Him, the aura was definitely of a male.

"What?" Erica asked

"The master. We know him. I don't know who he is but I know that already felt their energy." I explained

"Good" Stiles muttered, hands moving around as he spoke with his usual amount of sarcasm "This is just awesome"

I took a breath, calling forward the master through their connection. I took a step back, snapping my fingers together, making Jackson wake up.

"Where are you?" I asked in a commanding tone knowing damn well that now it was his master in control

"I'm here." He said, voice contorted to a more hoarse and static tone "I'm right here with you."

"Jackson, is that you?" Stiles asked crouching in front of the boy

"Us." He answered "We're all here."

"Don't lie" I said with a roll of eyes "Jackson is not even aware that he is the Kanima. This is just you."

Stiles looked back at me before turning once again towards the boy "Are you the one killing people?"

"We are the ones killing murderers."

"I, not we" I corrected, earning a glare from the boy. I really didn't like Jackson but giving him the blame for something that he was controlled to do without any of his knowledge was not right.

"So all the people you've killed so far..." Stiles trailed off

"Deserved it." The distorted voice coming from Jackson could easily sent shivers of fear down anyone's spine

"See, we got a little rule book that says you only go after murderers."

"Anything can break if enough pressure is applied."

"Philosophical" Alec commented in a low tone. I couldn't help the small smile that bloomed on my lips even if I smacked him on the arm to shut him up.

"All right, so the people you're killing are all murderers then?" Stiles asked

"All. Each. Every one." Malice dripping from his words as the kanima's master commanded Jackoson's body

"Well, who did they murder?" Stiles questioned

"Me." The anger in his tone was unmistakable

"Wait, what? What do you mean?" Narrowing his eyes at the words Stiles asked confused

"They murdered me." Jackson repeated. This time more firmly. His neck started to crack and his eyes shifted into the one of the Kanima. We all stood up, ready to fight as the ketamine once again finished having any effect on his body "They murdered me."

"Okay, all right. More ketamine. The man needs ketamine. Come on." Stiles said as we saw Jackson startin to complete shift in front our eyes

"We don't have any more." I said showing him the empty bottle

"You used the whole bottle?" Stiles asked trying to maintain his patience

"With the first dose actually" I snapped back at the accusing tone of the teenager "I used what we had left to make him speak. A thank you would be appreciated actually."

Erica was the first one to acknowledge now standing Jackson, her hand tapping furiously on Stiles' shoulders.

Jackson roared, his sharp fangs in rows aimed at us. His skin was now starting to take the shades of green and gray of the Kanima, with scales running down his arms and sharp claws instead of his nails.

"Okay, out, everybody out. Go, go, go, go."

The five of us runned out of the room, our body used to put pressure against the metal door to make it harder for the Kanima to escape

"Okay, find something to move in front of the door."

"There is literally nothing around us, Stiles!" Alec shouted "Ellie, do that spell!"

"Right," My eyes widened in understandment. "Move" I shouted to the four who listened to my command "Sigillum." I said, my magic creating an invisible seel making the door unable to open

It gave us only a second to breathe before the kanima overpassed the door going directly through the metal panels that formed the walls. Tired sighs escaping all of us.

I waved my hand, lifting the spell that I had just done. "I love when a plan go so perfectly"

───── ⋆⋅⋆｡ ﾟ☽𖦹☾ ﾟ｡⋆⋅⋆ ─────

╰┈˚ · ° .   Tiredly, the five of us walked out from the rave. Alec had his arm warped around me as we stayed next to Isaac and Erica while Stiles was in front of us. As soon as we stepped outside he had his phone in his hand calling Scott and telling him about the failed plan. We stopped in our tracks. Isaac kneeled down as all of us stared at the barrier made of mountain ash that circled around the building. I could feel its power creating the barrier the two betas and the shadow wolf couldn't pass.

"Oh, my God! It's working. Oh, this is... I did something." Stiles excitedly yelled.

"At least one thing of this plan worked how it should've" I snorted. I winked at the three stuck wolves "Good goob, Stilinski" I smiled. A genuine smile that definitely the boy didn't expect.

A low and pained roar could've been heard by all the wolves present

"Scott?" Derek said out loud confused

"What?"

"Break it." Derek commanded to Stiles

"What? No way." Stiles raised his voice back at the alpha

"Scott's dying!"

"Okay, what? How do you know that?"

"Oh, my God, Stiles, I just know! Break it!"

As the two bantered with each other I jumped, landing on the other side of the supernatural barrier. I kneeled down on the asphalt ground, my hands touching the mountain ash and with swift movement, the line broke and the barrier vanished.

Derek ran away, following Scott's roar leaving Stiles, Isaac, Erica, Alec and I alone again.

"And... of course you can pass the barrier" Isaac's words directed at me broke the tense silence. Even if the situation at hand was precarious, it still made us somewhat lift our lips in small smiles and chuckles leave our exhausted bodies.
