Chapter Nineteen
🦎 Restraint 🦎

Alone in the Sheriff's office, Amara, Stiles and Scott crowd around Stiles' phone to listen to Allison over the speaker. "If Jackson doesn't know what he's doing then he probably doesn't know someone's controlling him." Allison said, "Or doesn't remember." Amara said "What if it's the same kind of thing that happened to Lydia when she took off from the hospital?" Stiles asked

"A fugue state."

"He'd have to forget everything. The murder, coming home."

"Getting rid of the blood."

"But he had help with one thing. The video. Someone else helped him forget that..." Amara said and Scott nodded slightly, "Whoever's controlling him." He said. "Are you sure Jackson has no clue about any of this?" Allison asked, "He thinks he's still becoming a werewolf and that being with Lydia somehow delayed the whole thing." Amara answered.

"So do we try to convince him he's not?"

"If it helps us figure out who's controlling him, then yeah."

"You think he'll talk to us after what we did?"

"Yeah. Totally." Stiles said looking at Scott and Amara, "Right?" He asked and Amara just raised her eyebrows.

"You will not go within fifty feet of Jackson Whittemore. You will not speak to him. You will not approach him. You will not assault him or harass him physically or psychologically." Stilinski said standing in front of everyone reading of a clipboard with Melissa and Makena standing by the doorway.

"What about school?" Stiles asked and Stilinski sighed, "You can attend classes while attempting to maintain a fifty-foot distance." He said but apparently Stiles wasn't done yet.

"But- okay, what if we both have to use the bathroom at the same time, and there's only two stalls available, and they're only right next to each oth-" He said but got cut off by Amara covering his mouth with her hand to get him to stop talking, "Ignore him. It's better if you just ignore him." She said.

A little while later Amara and Makena walk down the hallway with Makena's arm around her daughter's shoulders. "I hope you realize how embarrassing it is for a Deputies daughter to see a transport van." Makena said and Amara sighed, "What else were we supposed to do?" Amara asked and Makena raised her eyebrows.

"Not get caught. I thought I taught you better than to get caught." Makena said and Amara raised her hands up in defense, "Technically it's not my fault. I wasnt in control of Jackson's phone and I tried ti run after him." Amara said and Makena sigh. "I get that but you need to be careful. You could get me fire." Makena said and Amara sighed and nodded, "Sorry." Amara said and Makena nodded and kissed the side of her head before walking away.

As she steps away, Amara and Stiles walked over to Scott. "I'm the worst son ever." Scott said and Stiles sighed. "Yeah, I'm not winning any prizes either." He says as he nods to the window of the interrogation room where they see Mr. Whittemore ripping into Stilinski, face reddening as he shouts and jabs an angry finger at the Sheriff.

"I'm just lucky my mom knows and is supernatural so she understands why we did this." Amara said before they all turn away to face an even more unpleasant sight-

Jackson, sitting on a bench in the waiting area, he smiles at them. A particularly self-satisfied smile.

Morning light pours in through the library windows over Allison as she stepped inside. Allison throws a glance at one of the wall cameras and then walks into the book stacks out of its view. Unzipping her bag, she removes a tablet and as casually as possible, she places the tablet between the books on a shelf.

On the other side of the stack Scott takes the tablet. With Stiles and Amara peering over his shoulder, he taps the screen to look over a page of the Bestiary and the translation next to it. "It's everything Lydia can translate... And trust me, she was very confused." Allison making Scott look at her, "Yeah, what did you tell her?" He asked and Allison chuckled. "That we were part of an online gaming community that battles mythical creatures." Allison said making Stiles look up.

"I am part of an online gaming community that battles mythical creatures..." Stiles said earnestly and Allison nodded, "Oh... Great."

"Okay, does it say how to find out who's controlling him?" Amara asked and Allison shook her head. "Not really, but Stiles was right about the murderers." She said making Stiles pump his fist in victory, "Yes!" He whispered. "It calls the Kanima a 'weapon of vengeance'. There's a story in there about this South American priest who uses the Kanima to execute murderers in his village." Allison explained.

"All right, see? So, maybe it's not all that bad." Stiles said before Allison could finish, "Until the bond grew strong enough that it killed whoever he wanted it to." She said as she opens a book, trying to look inconspicuous.

"All bad. All very, very bad."

"Here's the thing, though. The Kanima's actually supposed to be a Werewolf, but it can't be-" Allison explained but stopped when the library went to put a book up.

"Until it resolves that in its past which manifested it." Amara read out loud, "Okay, if that means that Jackson could use a few thousand hours of therapy, I could've told you that myself." Stiles said. "What if... it has something to do with his parents? His real parents?" Allison suggested and Scott shrugged, "Yeah, does anybody actually know what happened to them?" He asked. "Lydia might." Amara said making Scott look at her.

"What if she doesn't know anything?" Scott said and Allison shrugged slightly, "Well, he doesn't have a restraining order against me, so I'll talk to him myself." Allison said and Scott nodded.

"Okay, what do I do?" Scott asked making Amara looked at him with raised eyebrows, "You have a make-up exam, remember?" She said making him look over at Stiles who nodded in agreement making Scott sigh and look back at Allison. "If he does anything, you run the other way." Scott said and Allison nodded slightly, "I can take care of myself." She said.

"Allison, if he does anything-" Amara said and Allison raised her eyebrows, "Like?" She asked and Amara shrugged slightly. "Anything weird, or bizarre- anything."

"Anything evil." Stiles said sticking his head through the shelves, almost hitting his forehead in the process. Allison raised her eyebrows before pushing Stiles's head back through the shelves making a few books fall in the process. Which made him quickly scrambled to catch them.

"I just-I just hope your dad has been teaching you moves to protect yourself." Jackson said as he dragged his clawed hand down Allison's neck elbow he had her pressed up against the wall of the locker room. "Actually, he has." She said before pushing his arm away, grabbing his neck but he just pushed her to the ground, landing on top of her.

All of the sudden someone cleared their throat making them look over to see Amara. "Is there a problem? Because it sure looks like there is." She said and Jackson seemed to snap out of whatever mind control he was in, "Allison? Amara? What are you doing here?" He asked as he got off of Allison.

"Amara, I'm fine." Allison said quickly as Amara walked over and grabbed the back of Jackson's neck, pulling him away from Allison. "You are violating my restraining order!" Jackson yelled before Amara shoved him towards his bag, "I know and as much as I would love to bash your face in, I'm not gonna embarrass my mother more by violating the restraining order." Amara said as she stepped back and shrugged.

"Scott on the other hand doesn't have a Deputy mother to embarrass." Amara said as Scott ran in to find Allison sitting against the wall and Jackson putting on a pair of shorts.

Scott ran forward, pushing Jackson into the packers making some of the lockers fall back."I have a restraining order!" Jackson yelled and Scott just glared at him, "Trust me, I restrained myself." He said. Jackson shot up and shoved Scott into another row of lockers before throwing him into the showers. Scott started to get up as Jackson walked over to him, grabbing him and slamming him up against the tiled wall.

Scott grabbed Jackson's head before head butting him making Jackson stumble back before Scott slammed his head against the wall. Scott went to grab him but Jackson kicked him away making Scott hit the wall, breaking it in the process.

Jackson got up and started walking out of the showers as Scott fell to the ground. All of the sudden Scott jumped over the shower wall, kicking the back of Jackson's head making Jackson fall to the ground. Jackson quickly got up, grabbing a weight and frisbeying at Scott. Scott managed to catch it but it distracted him enough for Jackson to run up, kicking Scott into the wall.

He grabbed Scott by the shirt before slamming him down into one of the sinks, breaking it in the process. "Okay, you're breaking too much stuff." Amara said before walking over to the two of then, grabbing them by the ear before dragging them out into the hallway where Stiles and Erica stood. The second she shoved them out into the hallway they instantly started fighting again making Amara roll her eyes.

"Scott! Scott! Scott! Guys!" Stiles yelled as he and Amara grabbed Scott while Erica grabbed Jackson. "What the hell's going on?" Harris asked as he walked through the hallway over to them, "Hey! Enough! Enough! What do you idiots think you're doing? Jackson! Calm down! Mr. McCall, you wanna explain yourself? Stilinski! Hale?" Harris asked but no one answered him.

Amara looked past him to see Matt looking and typing on Allison's tablet making her squint slightly before he looked up at everyone. "You dropped this." Matt said as he held the tablet out but before Allison could take it, Harris did. "You, and you-" He said, pointing at Scott and Jackson before looking at all if them, including Matt.

"Actually, all of you- detention. Three o'clock."

🦎

Amara, Scott, Stiles, Allison, Jackson, Erica and Matt all walked into the library where Harris stood. Amara went to sit down next to Erica, across Scott and Stiles when Jackson spoke up. "Oh, uh, we can't be in detention together. I have a restraining order against these tools." Jackson said and Harris raised his eyebrows, "All of these tools?" He asked.

"No, just us tools..." Stiles said as he gestured to himself, Amara and Scott, "Fine. You three over there." Harris said, pointing at another table making Scott and Stiles move to that table. "I'm gonna kill him." Amara said as she glanced back at Jackson and Stiles held his hand up, "No, you're not. You're going to find out who's controlling him and then you're gonna help save him." He said.

Scott glanced back at Jackson before shaking his head, "No, you were right- let's kill him." He said making Stiles sigh. "Oh, no..." He mumbled.

"Hey, what if it's Matt? I mean, this whole thing comes back to the video, right?" Stiles asked as he looked over at Matt and Scott shrugged slightly, "Danny said that Matt was the one who found the two hours of footage missing." Scott said and Stiles nodded.

"Exactly! He's trying to throw suspicion off himself." He said and Amara furrowed her brows, "So, he makes Jackson kill Isaac's dad, one of Argent's Hunters, and the mechanic working on your Jeep?" He asked and Stiles nodded. "Yes!" He said and Scott looked at him confused, "Why?" He asked.

"Because he's evil." Stiles whispered dramatically and Amara and Scott glanced back at Matt who was eating chips. "You just don't like him." Scott said and Stiles shrugged and shook his head slightly, "The guy bugs me. I don't know what it is. Just look at his face!" He said. They glanced back over at Matt to see him offering Jackson some of his chips making Scott raise his eyebrows.

"Any other theories?" Scott asked but before Stiles could say anything Jackson stood up, holding his head in pain. "I have to go to the bathroom." He said making everyone look at him, "Are you all right? Hey, you don't look so good..." Harris said as Jackson started to walk towards the door.

"I just need to get some water." Jackson said, "No one leaves their seats." Harris said before following Jackson, the second he walked out Amara, Scott and Stiles both quickly ran over to Erica's table.

"Stiles says you know how Jackson's parents died." Scott said and Eric's shrugged slightly, "Maybe." She said making Amara roll her eyes. "Talk." Amara making Erica set down her notebook and pen.

"It was a car accident. My dad was the insurance investigator, and every time he sees Jackson drive by in his Porsche, he makes some comment about the huge settlement he'll be getting when he's eighteen." Erica explained and Stiles raised his eyebrows, "So, not only is Jackson rich now, but he's getting even richer at eighteen?" Stiles asked and Erica nodded.

"Yup." She said and Stiles shook his head slightly, "There's something so deeply wrong with that." He said. "You know what? I could try to find the insurance report on my dad's inbox. He keeps everything." Erica said as she took out her laptop.

"Amara Hale, please report to the principal's office." Victoria Argent said over the intercoms making Amara's eyes widen. She glanced over at Allison who's eyes were also wide before Amara sighed softly and walked out.

Amara walked into the office and over to the front desk where Victoria sat, sharing a pencil. "The principal wanted to see me?" Amara asked and Victoria stopped sharpening the pencil, "No- I did." Victoria said making Amara raise her eyebrows.

"I'm concerned about the detention today, how Allison ended up in there with you, Mr. McCall and Mr. Stilinski." Victoria said and Amara shrugged slightly, "Wrong place wrong time. Harris gave everyone in the vicinity detention." Amara said and Victoria nodded slightly and sharpened the pencil more.

"A sink was ripped off the wall. You're lucky I'm here to explain that to people somehow, you realize that?" Victoria asked and Amara shrugged slightly, "It's a simple explanation really. The bolts on the sink were lose, someone got slammed into them and it fell off. Not that hard." Amara said and Victoria nodded.

"Is that so?" She asked and Amara nodded, "Do you have feelings for my daughter?" Victoria asked before sharpening the pencil more and Amara just cocked an eyebrow. "Members of the family that murdered mine aren't really my type." Amara said and Victoria pulled out the pencil out, which was now down to the eraser.

"I certainly hope so. We wouldn't want to see what would happen if I find out you have feeling for my daughter." Victoria said and Amara chuckled and raised her eyebrows while leaning forward slightly.

"If you think sharpening a pencil to the eraser is gonna intimidate me, try again. All it does is made me annoyed at the fact you wasted a perfectly good pencil. I had to witness my family burn to death and my father go on murderous Alpha rampage. You're about as scary as dog shit under my shoe." Amara said before smirking and stepping back from the desk.

"Do remember that you're talking to the daughter of a Deputy and a witch. Wouldn't want to see what would happen if she finds you were threatening her daughter whose a minor." Amara said before smiling and walking out of the office.

After Amara came back to the library, her, Allison, Scott and Stiles stood around a book cart in an aisle. "It means he was born after his mom died by c-section. They had to pull him out of her dead body." Stiles explained and Allison raised her eyebrows, "So, was it an accident, or not?" She asked.

"The word all over the report is inconclusive." Stiles said and Amara glanced at all of them, "Then his parents could have been murdered." She said and Stiles shrugged slightly. "If they were, then it falls in line with the Kanima myth, you know? It seeks out and kills murderers." Stiles said, "But, for Jackson? Or the person controlling him?" Allison asked.

"We have to talk to him. We have to tell him." Scott said and started to walk away, "He's not gonna li-" Allison started to say but Scott walked away making them sigh.

Suddenly there was a burst of glass and sparks, a light above goes out. "Amara! Erica!" Scott yelled. Erica spins around, mouth snapping open to reveal fangs as Scott whirls around, eyes glows, teeth fanged and claws out. Amara glanced around as she cautiously walked around the bookshelf.

Something moves above the stacks, leaping and bounding across them, lights bursting and shattering as Amara runs back over to Stiles and Allison pulling them back as sparks fall. The dark figure racing between the rows is fast and Erica tumbles to the floor, a hand to the back of her neck.

Scott whirls around to find Jackson standing in front of him. Arms covered in scales, mouth filled with a double-row of teeth, he's half-in and half-out of the transformation. Scott launches up to attack but Jackson is far more powerful. He tosses Scott into a book cart with ease.

The library goes quiet. Breathless, Amara, Stiles and Allison glance around. Back to normal, Scott peers up from the pile of books. All of them spot Jackson standing at an easel chalk board. His head lolls to the side, eyes a held a very distance look as his arm slowly lifts up.

He looked almost like a marionette being controlled by unseen strings. Chalk in his clawed hand, Jackson begins writing on the board. Head never turning to see what he's doing, it looks like someone is using his body, controlling it to send a hastily scrawled threat:

"Stay out of my way. Or I'll kill all of you."

The chalk falls to the floor. Head swiveling to look at them with a glowing-eyed stare, Jackson darts forward. Hands hitting the carpet as he drops to all fours, he leaps up and smashes through the window of the library.

Amara looks around and spots a paralyzed Erica. Except she's beginning to shake, tremors rippling through her body. "Erica!" Amara yelled as she quickly ran over to her, putting her on her side. "Hey! She's having a seizure." She called out making Stiles run over while Allison ran over to Matt, "He's alive."

Scott turns to Erica, her seizure seeming far worse than the one they witnessed in gym class. "We need to get her to a hospital. When we get to the hospital-" Scott started to say but Erica's hand latches around
