'stiles has a mean right hook.'




It was the next day and we were sat in coaches class. I had yet to speak to either of the boys despite their multiple missed calls and texts. After I died, I had to get a new phone as all my possessions that were with my body were somewhere in the morgue. Melissa had said she would take a look and try to find it. Anyway, I knew I was being petty but I was mad at them. They had no reason to shout at me and I cried for hours last night. Isaac had tried to come into my room multiple times but every time I told him to go away. I know he was worried and when I left this morning he was asleep on the couch.

The boys walked into the classroom and started walking straight towards me until coach slammed a pile of tests onto his desk and the boys quickly hurried to their seats.

"Listen up, before we begin our review, some of you like McCall should start your own study groups because tomorrow's midterms are so profoundly difficult that I'm not too sure that I could do it." He shouted and the whole class groaned in annoyance. "Okay I need a volunteer to the board." He said as a random boy made his way to the board before answering the question and making his way back to his seat.

"What the hell is a Kanima?" I heard Jackson ask and I didn't turn around so it didn't look like I was listening. How did he know about the Kanima. "Paralysed from the neck down, do you have any idea what that feels like?" He asked the two boys. Why would they test Jackson, unless Derek bit him. That bastard.

"I'm familiar with the sensation" I heard Stiles reply

"Jackson! Anything you would like to share with the class?" Shouted Coach at the boy

"Just an undying admiration for my coach." Replied the boy with a fake smile.

"Aww that's nice now shut up!" He shouted before having Lydia answer the next question on the board. Something was wrong, I could smell fear and a lot of it coming from Lydia. She was writing on the board but it was definitely not the answer to the question. She began to whimper and shake before I ran to the front of the classroom and grabbed the girl who seemed to snap out of the trance before turning to look at all the confused faces. We both went back to our seats as I sent her a small smile of reassurance.

"What is that Greek?" Asked Scott.

"No it's English you idiot, just upside down." I said as both boys turned to look at me in surprise that I had even spoken to them. It spelled 'SOMEHELPME' something was definitely going on with the red head and I was going to find out.

"Can somebody answer, this time in English?"

~~~

It was now Harris's class. I hated this man with a passion, I don't think he even knew how to show emotions. I took my usual seat but seeing as Isaac was a wanted fugitive, the seat next to me was empty. Or do I thought until he walked into the room but Stiles ran into the seat before the other boy could sit down.

"Stiles what the hell, that's Isaacs seat!" I said

"Maybe I just wanted to sit next to my best friend." He said and I felt my stomach turn slightly at the word friend.

"Well maybe I wanted to sit next to Isaac he's my friend to." I said and the boy narrowed his eyes at me.

"Yeah friend, anyway just trust me and stay away from Isaac and Erica." He said as he looked at the two

"Why are you being weird?" I asked

"I'm always weird." He said

"Weirder than normal then?" I said but before he could reply, Harris started to speak.

"Einstein once said that 'two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity. I myself have encountered human stupidity." The man said as he stopped next to our desk and patted his hand on my friends shoulder causing me to laugh. "So to combat the plague of ignorance in this class, we're going to be doing a group experiment. Let's see if two heads are in fact better than one, or in Mr Stilinskis case, less than one."

"Dick." I muttered under my breath but Harris heard.

"What was that Miss Collins?" He asked

"I said you're a dick." I replied with confidence causing the whole class to laugh whilst he glared at me.

"Detention after school." He said before speaking again "Erica, you take the first station, start with-" all the boys and even some girls put their hands up to volunteer. "I didn't ask for volunteers, put your hormonal little hands down. Start with Mr McCall." The two got up and walked to the first station.

I was paired with Isaac, I don't know why they told me to stay away from him, he's actually a nice guy once you get to know him. Anyway, we started the experiment. "Do you know why Stiles asked me to stay away from you?" I asked the curly headed boy.

"Maybe because we're trying to see who the Kanima is and first on the list is Lydia. She was  bit by an alpha so there's only one way to know." He said as he poured the liquid into the container

"Who's next on the list?" I asked as I continued to read the instructions off the paper.

"They didn't tell you?" He asked but I was confused. Tell me what?

"Tell me what?" I asked

"You." He said but I didn't get a chance to reply as the bell rang and we switched partners. I was now paired with Scott and Erica was with Stiles whilst Isaac was now with Lydia. Scott sat down but didn't speak, I know he heard what Isaac had just told me.

"Were you gonna tell me?" I asked and he just sighed.

"No" he said simply, at least he told me the truth. Some friends they were not telling me my life could be in danger.

"You know it's not me Scotty, so why does Derek think it is?" I asked and he looked down at the ground.

"Stiles told him how he never saw the Kanima at the mechanics garage and how you appeared right after and then the same thing at the pools  and he got suspicious." He said and I sighed. They were trying to protect me but I didn't need protecting. I was going to reply before I heard Erica speaking 'oh sweet little Lilac, not so sweet when she wants to drain you of your blood. Maybe I should put her down for you.' She said and I turned to see her running her hand up and down his thigh. I felt jealous, why was I jealous. It doesn't matter all that mattered was I was going to kill that bitch. I was cut off as the bell rang again and I was now paired with Lydia.

"Hey Lydia." I said as we poured the final ingredients into the container.

"Hey Li, why is everyone being weird." She asked, shit was was I supposed to tell her. So by the way there's a giant lizard running around Beacon Hills and Derek an alpha werewolf thinks it's one of us so he's gonna test us to see if we get paralysed.

"I have no idea Lyds." I said and she looked surprised by the nickname. The bell rang again before Harris spoke

"If you have catalysed the reaction correctly, you should be looking at a crystal. Now for the last part, you can eat it." Said the man as Lydia picked up the crystal and snapped it in half before handing one to me which I gladly excepted.

"Lydia!" Scott shouted at the same time Stiles said "Lilac!" We looked at the two weirdly as we ate the crystals. It was good. Then it started to burn. It felt like my tongue was on fire as I started to cough loudly. Lydia looked at me concerned before I ran out of the classroom to the toilet. I needed to throw up. I heard someone enter behind me and saw it was Scott. I leaned over the toilet bowl before throwing up as he held back my hair.

"Oh my god." He said as I opened my eyes to see the only thing in the toilet was blood.

~~~

We were all now stood in an empty classroom whilst discussing a plan on how to stop Derek from killing me and Lydia. He already killed me once, now he wants to do it again. Good thing is I can't die unless he has a wooden stake, that would be bad. Me and Scott hadn't told anyone what happened in the bathroom, just that I didn't feel good. Anyway, I would like to see Derek try and kill me as I'm stronger, faster and smarter than him. Seriously, why would he even try.

"Dereks waiting outside." Said Scott

"Waiting to kill them?" Asked Allison

"Are you all forgetting that I can't die?" I asked but I was met with silence and each of them glaring at me to shut up so I held my hands in mock surrender.

"It's not Lydia and it's not Lilac." Said Stiles

"They didn't pass the test, nothing happened." Said Allison sighing at the thought of either of her best friends being killed.

"Well if you call throwing up blood nothing." I murmured under my breath but they all seemed to hear.

"You threw up blood?" Asked Stiles in a worried tone.

"Yeah she did, it was everywhere." Said Scotty looking disgusted by the memory.

"But you weren't paralysed." Said the Hunter

"I know that!" I exclaimed but I was ignored as they continued to plan.

"It can't be them!" Exclaimed Stiles.

"Well Derek thinks its one of them so either we find a way to convince him it's not or we find a way to protect them." Said Scott

"Sorry to interrupt but I'm stronger than you all combined so I'm pretty sure I can take care of myself." I said

"What if he has a wooden stake?" Asked the buzz cut boy

"I'm too fast for him, he'd never be able to use it." I replied but they all looked annoyed by my lack of interest in the subject. I wasn't worried about me, I'm worried about Lydia. She doesn't have supernatural strength or healing, well that we know of but she's who we need to protect. "Listen, we need to protect Lydia, I know it's not her. I just know."

"He's not gonna do anything here at school." Said the Hispanic boy.

"What about after school?" Asked the spastic boy.

"What if we can prove that Dereks wrong?" Asked the brunette Argent.

"By three o clock?" Stiles asked raising his eyebrows at the girls suggestion.

"There could be something in the bestiary." She offered in an attempt to be optimistic about the situation.

"Oh you mean the nine hundred page book in Archaic Latin that none of us can read? Good look with that!" Exclaimed Stiles who was becoming extremely annoyed. Sometimes I wonder how these boys live without me.

"You are all idiots." I said and they all turned to look at me in question.

"What? Why?" Asked the hazel eyed boy.

"Me and Lydia know Archaic Latin." I said and their eyes widened.

"How smart are you?" Asked Allison

"In the words of Spencer Reid, 'I'm proveably a genius' me and Lydia both got bored of regular Latin so we wanted something harder. I'm not as good as her but I'll give it a try." I said

"Oh my god I could kiss you right now!" Shouted Stiles and we all let out a small laugh as I walked over placing a kiss on the boys cheek making him turn a deep red. My lips felt tingly and my stomach was turning. What the hell is happening to me, I'm turning into Scott. Scott and Allison both smirked at my actions "Shut up." I said

"I didn't say anything." They both said in unison.

"Yeah well your face did." I said earning a chuckle from them both.

"Maybe I can talk to Derek, convince him to give us a chance to prove it's not her. But if anything happens then let me or Lilac handle it ok?" Said the young werwolf earning a scoff from me. Just because they're human doesn't mean they're unable to protect themselves.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Asked the Hunter.

"Yeah Scotty I know Allison can definitely protect herself and Stiles has a mean right hook." I said earning a smile from the buzz cut boy.

"It just means that you guys can heal like we can." He said trying to prove his point.

"Like Lilac said, I can protect myself." She said and I nodded my head in agreement. She proceeded to pull out a bow from her backpack, as I was saying, she can fight for herself. Allison was one bad ass chick.

"I just don't want you to get hurt. Seriously I-" I cut of the rest of their conversation knowing it was going to be some soppy romance stuff. They are so love sick that it's kinda gross. I'm very single and didn't need it rubbed in my face.

Next thing I know, there's an arrow flying towards us. I quickly put my hand out and catch it right before it hits Scott in the face. I turn around to see Stiles, bow in hand and looking very guilty.

"Stiles you could have killed us!" I shouted at the boys childish behaviour.

"Sorry it's a sensitive trigger on that." He said and I snatched it away from his hands before handing back to its rightful owner.

The off we went, on our mission to not get killed. Yay.
