Scott walked out the door taking one lat look at Allison.

"I'm going to try and find Lydia. She shouldn't be alone now." Allison said, taking her stuff.

"Didn't you say you know someone who can translate the bestiary? I'll go after Lydia." Stiles offered. Like this was such a commitment.

"Oh, you're right." Stiles walked out, leaving me with Allison

"Who do you think can translate that?"

"Mrs. Morell."

"Right, why didn't we think of that sooner? Do you want me to come with you?"

"No, it's fine. I know you can't really help, but can you try to watch over Scott?"

"I will."

"Don't let him do anything stupid."

"I won't." I looked at the clock.

"You should go. We have till 3." She nodded and took her stuff with her outside. I sighted and listened, scanning the surroundings for Derek and Scott. She may be wrong about me doing something, but she's right about one thing: I can't let him do anything stupid.

"I wanna talk to Derek!" Found him. He's on the lacrosse field. I walked outside towards the field, but don't go too close.

"Good, cause I'm twice the size of you." Scott's talking to Boyd, I can tell by the voice.

"True. Really, really true. But wanna know what I think? I'm twice as fast." I heard a smack and knew Scott pushed Boyd down. I heard footsteps closing in and the fighting stopped.

"She failed the test." I recognized Derek's voice.

"Yeah, which doesn't prove anything. Lydia's different."

"I know, at night she turns into a homicidal walking snake."

"I'm not going to let you kill her." There was a brief silence.

"Who said I was gonna do it?" What?! I listened further away and heard nails scratching on metal. Shit! I heard another smack, coming from the field. Scott's down. Make a choice, Scott or Lydia? I took a deep breath.

"I don't know why you think you have to protect everyone now, Scott, but even so, Lydia has killed people and she's gonna do it again, and next time, it's gonna be one of us."

"What if you're wrong?"

"She was bitten by an Alpha. It's her." Oh, no. It's not. I start walking towards the scratching, still listening to their conversation.

"You saw that thing up close. You know it's not like us."

"But it is! We're all shapeshifters. You don't know what you're dealing with. It happens rarely and it happens for a reason." I stopped in my tracks. there's a reason for this?

"What reason?"

"Sometimes the shape you take reflects the person that you are. Even Stiles calls her cold–blooded."

"Well, what if she's immune? What if she's got something inside of her that makes her immune to the bite, which is why she didn't get paralyzed?" I got a text from Allison.

"No one's immune! I've ever seen it or heard of it. It's n– it's never happened."
