Ch. 6 - FRENEMY

"Nothing gets past those keen werewolf senses, does it?" Stiles asked sarcastically before pulling away from the drag queens and him and Scott walked over to the bar. "Two beers." Stiles said and the bartender walked over to them, "ID's?" He asked and they pulled out their driver's licenses making the guy raise his eyebrows. "How about two cokes?"

"Rum and Coke? Sure!" Stiles said and from the look on the guy's face Stiles quickly shook his head. "Coke's fine, actually. I'm driving, anyway." Stiles said and the guy gestured to a different bartender who came over a few seconds later with two cokes.

"This one's paid for." He said gesturing at Scott's drink before before gesturing to a guy across the bar. The guy held up his drink and nodded at Scott making Scott smile as he looked over at Stiles who looked annoyed.

"Oh, shut up." Stiles grumbled, "I didn't say anything." Scott said slightly chuckling. "Your face did." Stiles said before they turned around and glanced around at everyone in the club. "Found Danny." Stiles said nodding over to where Danny was dancing, "I found Jackson." Scott said and Stiles followed hid line of sight.

Perched among light fixtures above, the Kanima moves like a spider across the ceiling, stealthily making its way toward the dance floor. And towards Danny.

All humor gone, a now fearful Stiles shakily sets his drink back on the bar next to Scott, who keeps his gaze on the ceiling and the black shape perched there. "Get Danny." Scott said making Stiles look over at him, "What are you going to do?" Stiles asked and Scott flicks open his fist, unsheathing his claws. "Works for me." Stiles said before heading over to Danny.

Scott followed Jackson, never taking his eyes off the giant lizard. All of the sudden the fog machines turned on, completely covering and hiding the Kanima in thick fog. Scott glanced around as the fog cleared a bit but he couldn't find the Kanima anywhere before another fog machine turned on.

All of the sudden people started falling to the ground, paralyzed and that's when Scott was about to see Jackson. "Jackson!" He called out before shooting forward but before he could get to the Kanima, Derek walked up, completely shifted.

"No, don't!" Scott yelled but Derek didnt listen before swiping at the Kanima making the creature hiss and run off, leaving a trail of people paralyzed behind it. Including Danny.

Outside, the Kanima ran passed cars before Aurora stepped out between two of them making it stop. It hissed at her but she made no movement as she held her hand out and ber necklace started glowing. "Cruciatus." She said and all of the sudden the Kanima started crying out in pain while falling to it's knees. Slowly, scales of the Kanima started turning back to Jackson's white skin.

Eventually all the green scales, the tail, claws, teeth and slited yellow eyes disappeared and all that was left was a naked Jackson, covered in blood, groaning in pain. Jackson breathed heavily for a moment before slowly looking up at Aurora and furrowed his brows, "Miss. A?" He asked weakly.

"Somnos." Aurora said and Jackson's eyes rolled back before falling to the ground as Scott ran out. "What did you do?" He asked, crouching down as Aurora glanced around. "Sleeping spell. Cops are going to get here any minute. You and Stiles need to get him out of here." Aurora said as Stiles ran out.

Jackson's eyes flutter open. When he moves his head, he winces in pain. Reaching up, his hand stops with the sound of metal clanking. He's now wearing pants. But he's also wearing chains on both his wrists and ankles in a van marked: "BEACON HILLS SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT PRISON TRANSPORT."

Raising his shackled hands as realization hits him, Jackson unclenches his teeth to spit out one name, "Stiles."

Outside the van, Jackson's voice soars up among the trees, "Stiles! McCall!" Standing in the middle of the woods, Stiles and Scott turn to each other, looks of dread on both their faces.
