Cursed ☾ TEEN WOLF {2}

"Why would I wanna kill my best friend?" Jackson questions him.

"Well that's what Scott's trying to figure out now." Stiles says

"Well, maybe he should be trying to figure out is how he's gonna pay for a lawyer when I prosecute your asses all the way to jail!"

"I think I'm good." I said playing with my nails. "My mom's a lawyer, and besides your parents are none the wiser you're missing."

"You should be grateful." I said leaning forward. "If it wasn't for Scott we would've killed you by now."

"Stiles!" I heard Allison's muffled calls outside the van.

"Allison's here." I told him.

Stiles looks confused, then opens up the back of the van. I jump out after him, then lock the van. Allison walked up, a few feet away from us.

"They know." She says.

"What?" Stiles asks.

"They know Jackson's missing." She says.

"No, they can't. We've been texting his parents since last night, they don't have a clue." I shook my head.

"My grandfather told me his parents went to the police. They know." She insisted.

"Crap..." I whispered. I took out Jackson's phone, tossing it to Stiles.

"What was that for?" He asks, catching it.

"I am not going to prison for kidnapping! Where is Scott?" I demand looking at Allison.

"He went to the hospital to see Danny." Allison answers.

"Okay..." I said trying to think. "They're tracking Jackson's phone, we need to get far away from here, now."

Stiles nods, we get in the van. As we're driving away, Stiles dials Jackson's mom, wipes our fingerprints from it, then drops the phone in the woods.

We moved the van further into the preserve. Then soon joined by Scott, who informed us by Danny, that the video Jackson taped of himself the night of the full moon was messed with. Someone edited out the footage of him turning. Danny restored the footage, but the tablet it was on is missing from Danny's trunk. I sat outside up against a tree in a wall squat.

"If Jackson doesn't remember being the Kanima, he's definitely not gonna remember stealing Danny's tablet." Scott says rubbing his neck.

"Why would he steal the thing if he doesn't even know what's on it?" Stiles asks.

"What if someone else took it?" Allison suggests.

"Then somebody else has to know what he is." I said

"Which could mean someone's protecting him." Scott nods.

"Like the bestiary says, the Kanima seeks a friend, right?" Allison says.

"So, somebody watches Jackson make a video of himself turning into the Kanima, and then just erases part of it so he wouldn't know? Who would do that?" I ask.

"Somebody who wanted to protect him." Allison says.

"There's something else." Scott says looking at Stiles. "You said the only thing you found online about the Kanima is that it goes after murderers. What if that's actually true?"

"Well, no, it can't be. It tried to kill all of us, remember?" Stiles says. "I don't know about you three, but I didn't murder anyone lately."

"I don't think it was actually trying to kill us." Scott says, then looks over to Allison. "Remember when we were at Isaac's the first time, it went right by us didn't it."
