🦎 Raving 🦎


With Scott riding shotgun, and Wren in the back, Stiles pulls his Jeep into the parking lot amid students hurrying for first period. "There's got to be some other way to get tickets, right?" Scott asked as they all climbed out, "It's a secret show- there's only one way, and it's a secret." Scott said.

"Hey..." Matt said making them all turn around, also made Stiles scoff under his breath, "Any of you guys know why no one's getting suspended after what happened the other day at school?" Matt asked. "Just forget about it. Nobody got hurt." Stiles said, mostly wanting to stop talking to the guy that asked out his best friend.

"I-I had a concussion." Matt said offended and Stiles just shrug, "Well, no one got seriously hurt." Stiles said and Wren glanced at Scott amused. "I was in the ER for six hours!" Matt said making Stiles sigh irritably.

"Hey, do you want to know the truth, Matt? Your little bump on the head is about this high on our list of problems right now." Stiles said as he bent down until his hand was about an inch away from touching the concrete. "Are you okay?" Scott sighed, "Yeah, I'm fine now." Matt said as he looked at Stiles weird before looking at Scott, "So, you didn't get any tickets last night, either?" He asked.

"Are they still selling?"

"Uh, no, but I managed to find two online. You should keep trying. Sounds like everyone's gonna be there." He said before smiling at Wren, "Can't wait to go." He said and she smiled awkwardly before he walked away

"I hate that guy. Hey, are you sure about this?" Stiles asked looking at Scott, "Last time, whoever's controlling Jackson had to kill somebody because he didn't finish the job. So, what do you think he's going to do this time." Scott and Wren nodded. "Be there to make sure it happens."

Wren closed her locker right as Isaac leaned up to the one next to her, smirking before holding up a ticket to the rave. "For you." He said and she raised her eyebrows, "Did you beat it out of a kid?" She asked and she crossed her arms over her chest. He pursed his lips before lowering his hand slightly, "Maybe." He said and she nodded slightly.

"No surprise there. But I already have a ticket and a date." She said as she started walking away making him furrow his brows before quickly following. "You have a date? Who?" He asked and she sighed, "Matt." She said and he raised his eyebrows. "Matt? You're going with him of all people?" He asked and she cocked and eyebrows before stopping and turning to him.

"Are you jealous?" She asked and he scoffed slightly, "Of Matt? No." He said and she raised her eyebrows as she crossed her arms over her chest. "Not of Matt. Of the fact that I have a date that's not you." She said and he chuckled, "I don't get jealous, Wren." He said and she hummed slightly.

"I don't need super senses to be able to tell when someone's jealous." She said before walking away, "I'm not jealous!" Isaac called out and Wren chuckled and shook her head.

Wren and Matt walked into the rave and Wren took a nervous deep breath and she glanced around. "Want to move closer to the DJ?" Matt asked and Wren looked at him and nodded making him smile before grabbing her hand. They started walking towards the DJ until Wren accidentally bumped into someone.

The person turned around making their eyes widen when they saw Mr. Harris with some blonde girl. "She's twenty-one." He said and Wren held her hands up slightly, "Wasnt doubting that." She said. "I told you I'd see a student here." Mr. Harris said as he grabbed his dates hand, pulling her away while Wren and Matt glanced at each other.

"Well, that was awkward." Matt said and Wren nodded in agreement as she glanced around before seeing Isaac standing off to the side. He nodded at her making her glance at Matt, "I'll be right back, I have to go talk to someone." She said and he nodded before she walked over to Isaac.

When she got up to him he leaned down to whisper something in her ear making her scoff and look at him crazy. "I'm not doing that!" She said and he chuckled, "Why not?" He asked and she raised her eyebrows. "Do it with Erica. I'm sure she'd have fun." She said and he smirked in amusement, "Maybe I want to do it with you." He said and she gave him a look.

"I would burn alive that have to dance with you and my sister's ex-boyfriend with the intent to seduce him enough for you to stick him with a needle." She said and he squint slightly. "You make it sound a lot worse than it did in my head." He said and she rolled her eyes before pushing him towards the crowd, "Go stick him with a needle already." She said and he chuckled before winking at her and walking away.

After a little while, Matt and Wren sat on a bench off to the side. "Not having a good time, are you?" He asked and she sighed and shook her head, "Despite popular belief and being at every party my sister throws... I'm not really a party person." She said and he nodded slightly.

"What would you rather be doing then?" He asked and she shrugged slightly, "Sit in my room, listing to music and writing until either Lydia or Stiles barges in demanding mentors watch a movie." She said and he chuckled and nodded. She glanced around before noticing Stiles walking through the crowd trying to get her attention. He dramatically pointed in the direction of a storage closet making her nod slightly.

She looked back at Matt and was about to say something but Matt suddenly leaned in and kissed her. She quickly pulled away making his eyes widen as they both looked away. "Uh... I'm-I'm sorry. That-that was-that was a huge mistake. I'm sorry..." He said and she shook her head, "No, it's okay. Uh..." She trailed off slightly before clearing her throat.

"I have to go make a call." She said before quickly getting up and walking over to Stiles, "Did he just kiss you?" Stiles asked and she shook her head. "Please don't talk about it." She said before opening the door to the storage room making Erica and Isaac whip around, ready to attack.

"Uh, no, no, no! Just us, it's just us. Don't freak." Stiles said as they walk in, "He looks dead. He okay?" Wren asked nodding to Jackson. "Well, let's find out." Isaac said walking over to Jackson, whipping his claws out. He slashes down, but without moving his head or even opening his eyes, Jackson's hand instantly wraps around Isaac's, catching him by the wrist in mid-strike.

Jackson squeezes Isaac wrist until it take him down to his knees making Wren's eyes widened while Erica and Stiles watch, waiting for the worst. But Jackson's hand slowly relaxes and lets go of Isaac making Wren instantly grab his shirt and pull him away from Jackson.

"Let's not try to slice open the sleeping Kanima. Please." Wren said giving Isaac a look as he cradles his broken hand in pain, "I thought the ketamine was supposed to put him out." Wren said and Stiles shrugged slightly. "Yeah, well, apparently, this is all we're going to get. So, let's just hope that whoever's controlling him just decided to show up tonight." Stiles said and all of the sudden Jackson's eyes snapped open.

"I'm here. I'm right here with you." Jackson said in a distorted voice and Wren slowly walked forward and crouched down in front of him. "Jackson, is that you?" She asked, "Us. We're all here." Jackson said making Wren look back at everyone else as Stiles crouched down next to her. "Are you the one killing people?" Stiles asked, "We are the ones killing murderers." Jackson said and Wren furrowed her brows.

"So, all the people you've killed so far-" She started to ask and Jackson cut her off slightly, "Deserved it." He said. "See, we got a little rule book that says you only go after murderers." Stiles said and Wren tilted her head slightly as she was positive that Jackson hadn't blinked once. "Anything can break if enough pressure's applied." Jackson said making Wren raise her eyebrows, "So, the people you're killing are all murderers, then?" She asked.

"All. Each. Every one."

"Well, who did they murder?"

"Me." Jackson said making everyone look at him confused, "Wait, what? What do you mean?" Stiles asked "They murdered me. They murdered me." Jackson said making Stiles and Wren glanced back at Erica and Isaac. They look back at Jackson to see scales rapidly begin forming on his arms, skin changing texture right before their eyes.

"Okay. All right, more ketamine. The man needs ketamine. Come on!" Stiles said and Issac held up the empty bottle of ketamine, "We don't have any more." He said making Stiles' eyes widened. "You used the whole bottle?!?" He asked incredulously.

Jackson is now on his feet, mouth opening to reveal two rows of razor sharp teeth. Half in, half out of the transformation, Jackson's head snaps about, scales rippling up his neck. Eyes locked on the sight, Stiles's hand comes up to push at the others. "Um, okay, out! Everybody out!" Stiles said, pushing everyone out of the room.

The door slams open and shuts just as quickly. Isaac, Erica, Wren and Stiles outside of the room now. "Okay, find something to move in front of the door." Stiles says and then all of the sudden the wall next to the door exploded outward. Jackson crashes through and is gone before the splinters hit the floor.

Party over, people begin streaming out the door, heading for their cars. Stiles races from the crowd, his eyes immediately land on Derek approaching, "Hey, um, so, we kind of lost Jackson inside, but it's-" He says but then notices Isaac and Erica paused on the warehouse side of the ash, not being able to pass. Isaac and Erica looked confused and slightly alarmed.

"Oh, my God! It's working! Oh, this is- I did something!" Stiles says with a proud smile as he turns to look at all of them. All of the sudden Derek's widen as he glanced around. "Scott." Derek said in a slight whisper, "Break it." He said making Stiles look at him crazy. "What? No way." He said and Derek looked at him, "Scott's dying!" He said.

"Okay, what? How do you know that?" Stiles said and Derek rolled his eyes, "Oh, my God, Stiles, I just know! Break it!" He said making Stiles groan slightly. He crouched down before forcefully waving his hands over the mountain ash, breaking the line and a second later Derek ran past them.
