Newly Bitten // Teen Wolf

Chapter 18

"Hi" Peter said awkwardly with a wave and Isaac gave him a forced smile with a "that's good to know." While I just ignored his presence all together for now.

"Look, the short version is he knows how to stop Jackson. And maybe how to save him." 

I crossed my arms saying, "Well, that's very helpful except Jackson's dead." 

Derek and Peter's face fell. "what?"

"Yeah, it just happened on the field." Scott said.

Peter looked down in thought and Derek's was in confusion. Apparently this was bad. Isaac reading my mind said, "okay, why is no one taking this as good news?"

"Because if Jackson is dead, it didn't just happen. Gerard wanted it to happen."

"But why?"

Peter stepped forward with a creepy smile that had me taking a step back. "Well, that's exactly what we need to find out. And something tells me the window of oppurtunity is closing. Quickly."

<^_^<     >^_^>

The five of us walked into Derek's old house and Scott's phone went off. He pulled it out and sighed with relief, "Oh, they found Stiles." A weight was lifted off my shoulders as I had one less thing to worry about.

"I told you, I looked everywhere." Derek said to Peter as he sat down on the stairs. He lifted up the cover on the stair, "you didn't look here." He pulled out a black cover and Derek asked, "what is that, a book?" 

"No it's a laptop. What century are you living in? A few days after I got out of the coma, I transferred everything that we had. Fortunately, the Argents aren't the only ones that keep records." He walked into the other room with Derek and Isaac in tow as I stayed with Scott because of his phone ringing.

I saw the contact name was Mom before he answered, "hey mom, I can't talk right now."

"Oh yeah? Well, I'm so freaked out that I can barely talk either." 

"What's wrong?"

"Something- definitely something. I don't know what, but I think you're gonna wat to see this for yourself."

And that's how Isaac, Scott, and I ended up at the hospital with Scott's mom. Jackson sat in a body bag with the top half unzipped. Covering his body was some clear coat that was shining and dripping and all around disgusting.

"What's happening to him?" Scott asked and his mom tossed her hands up in a shrug. "I thought you were gonna tell me. Is it bad?"

"It doesn't look good." I said and stepped forward to look at it when Jackson moved slightly. Isaac pulled me back by him with a "woah."

"Uh, mom could you zip it up please?" Scott said and his mom gave him a look with a sigh. "Okay,"

She grabbed the end of the zipper pulling it up. "Okay, okay here we go." She got to his neck where the zipper got stuck. Jackson opened his mouth hissing and Scott said, "mom zip!"

She got it undone as Jackson continued hissing. "Zip, zip, zip!" And finally she finished zipping it.

Scott immediately pulled out his phone dialling Derek and putting it on speaker. "Hello?"

Scott handed me the phone wanting me to speak and I rolled my eyes taking it. "Derek big problem. He's in some transparent casing made from the venom in his claws." He shifted inside the bag and I added, "he starting to move. I think it's like a cacoon, like he's transforming into something."

Derek said some stuff to Peter and all I could understand was "Jackson is only in his kanima's beta shape." Which means he's gonna turn into something bigger.

"Bring him to us."

"I'm not sure if we have time for that." Scott said as Jackson shifted and moved inside of the bag. 

"Scott get him out of there. Go now."

"Hold on, hold on." I said as I watched people walk by. Isaac and Scott stopped holding each end of the bag. Once the people passed I gave them the okay leading them into the parking lot mumbling, "go, go, go."

We raced through the parking lot and suddenly Scott dropped the end he was holding making Jackson hit the ground. We all looked at each other wide eyed before headlights flashed at us. We looked to see Allison's dad, Chris Argent, getting out of his car and walking towards us.

<^_^<     >^_^>

After a quick conversation with Argent, he told us he was joining us to take down Gerard. Gerard had twisted his way into Allison's mind and Chris wanted him gone. We were now in the warehouse waiting for Peter and Lydia.

"Where are they?" Scott asked Derek. 

"Who?"

"Peter and Lydia." Derek looked down deciding to ignore the comment and unzipped the bag and Scott continued, "Whoa hold on a second. You said you knew how to save him."

"We're past that."

"What about-"

"Think about it, Scott! Gerard controls him now. He's turned Jackson into his own personal guard dog. And he set all of this in motion so that Jackson could get even bigger and more powerful."

Argent shook his head. "No, No, he wouldn't do that. If Jackson's a dog, he's turning rabid, and my father wouldn't let a rabid dog live."

"Of course not." Gerard's voice said and we all looked to see him standing only a few meters away from us, he had come in the opening of the back. "Anything that dangerous, that out of control- is better off dead." 

Derek looked back at Jackson and brought his hand down to slash his throat, when Jackson awoke and sunk his claws into Derek's stomach. He lifted him off the ground and threw him across the warehouse hissing loudly.
