~~Chase's POV~~
I walked up to Matt's house and saw the lights on knowing I'm gonna have to kill this kid before Gerard does and I turned around started walking down the street whistling a tune
~Derek's Hideout~
I walked down the stairs and saw Jackson having a seizure on the floor while paralyzed and I sighed before walking over to Derek who stood up when he saw me and grabbed him by the neck and picked up the shard with the Kanima venom on it and shoved the thing deep down into his throat and let him fall to the ground
Chase: My brother is a no go for hunting down the Kanima, understand?
I looked at every other beta in the room and willed my eyes to shine
Chase: UNDERSTAND?!
They all whimpered, and I picked up Jackson threw him over my shoulder and walked up the stairs and out of the building and towards my car throwing him in the backseat before I got in and sped away
~3rd POV~
Chase beside Scott right as Stiles rushed into the class and sat in the desk behind him and started talking
Stiles: Just talked to my dad who talked to Jackson, and I've got really terrible, horrible, very, very bad, bad news.
Chase: I think we already know what the news is.
They all looked over to the smirking Isaac and Chase growled a little
~~~~
They walked out of class listening to Stiles talk about his research on the Kanima
Stiles: All right, I only found one thing online called the Kanima. It's a were-jaguar from South America that goes after murderers.
Chase: That thing didn't look anything like a jaguar.
Stiles: Yeah, and I'm not exactly a murder.
Scott: Yeah, but you did see it kill somebody.
Chase: Which is probably why it tried to kill you.
Stiles nodded
Scott: And it's still trying to kill you.
Chase: And it probably won't stop until you're dead.
They both walk ahead leaving a shocked Stiles
Stiles: You know, sometimes I really begin to question this "Friendship."
Jackson closed his locker and listened to Danny
Danny: Took forever, but I finally found a program that can recover your video. I'll run it in my free period this afternoon.
Jackson: Yeah, just let me know when it's done.
He gasped when he heard bells jingle and started listening to Erica and Isaac talk about something happening during class
Erica: << So Derek wants this done during chemistry? >>
Isaac: << Yeah, and if it's Lydia, then I'm gonna enjoy killing that bitch, all right? >>
Erica: << We have to test her first >>
Isaac: << Kanima >>
The bell rings and Jackson covers his ears from the sound
~~~~~
Chase walked in and looked towards the desk Lydia was sitting at and then at Isaac and Erica the latter smiling at him before they both rushed to sit next to Lydia, but Scott sat there before he could, and Chase decided to sit next to Allison who smiled at him, and he smiled back
Harris: Einstein once said, "Two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe." I myself have encountered infinite stupidity.
He pats Stiles om his shoulder and walks to the front of the class
Harris: So, to combat the plague of ignorance in my class, you're going to combine efforts through a round of group experiments. Let's see if two heads are indeed better than one head. Or, in Mr. Stilinski's case, less than one. Erica, you take the first station, you'll start with...
Every boy's hand shot up except for Chase, Scott and Stiles and Chase chuckled before Harris sighed
Harris: I didn't ask for any volunteers. Put your hormonal little hands down. *Looks at Scott* Start with Mr. McCall. All right, next two
They all switched desk and Chase sat next to Stiles listening in on Scott and Erica's conversation
Scott: << Whatever you're thinking of doing, wait. Give me a chance to talk to Derek.>>
Erica: << Why don't you talk to me instead? >>
Stiles: *Whispers* What is she saying?
Chase: Wait
Erica: << That's funny. In school, you guys act like you're broken up, *Chuckles* but she's all over you >>
Chase: She knows about Allison and Scott
Stiles: Well, that's a problem how?
Chase: It's not a problem at all
Harris tapped the bell
Harris: Switch
Chase got up and sat next to Isaac while Stiles, they both looked at each other and Isaac paled while Chase chuckled
Chase: You know, Isaac, I never took you for a guy that's willing to murder an innocent person
Isaac: She's not innocent
Chase: Oh yeah? You sure about that?
He put the tube down and grabbed Isaac by the neck pulling the boy towards him and whispered while his claws cut into his neck eyes glowing dimly
Chase: Just so you know, you can have your stupid badass attitude but if you try anything, I will make sure to rip your heart out and shove it so far down your throat, you could be able to taste the blood even though you are dead, got it? I'm not like Scott so you better hope it doesn't come to the point I have to kill you and your little packmates
Isaac nodded quickly and Chase let him go and wiped the blood from his hand with Isaac's jacket and Harris dinged his bell and Chase stood up from his seat and walked over and sat next to Allison
Allison: So, you and Erica?
Chase: *Chuckles* There's nothing between us other than the fact, I slept with twice
He looked at her and chuckled before going back to mixing the chemicals
Chase: Are you jealous, Argent?
Allison: No, I'm not jealous. Especially not for Erica
He moved over and pushed her hair away and whispered in her ear
Chase: Well, don't be. She wasn't that great
Harris tapped his bell
Harris: And switch
Chase stood up and Erica walked over to seat next to Allison, he walked over to a random girl's table and sat down next to her and smiled at her before looking at Scott and Stiles both who looked nervous, and they nodded towards Lydia, and he looked over and saw Isaac sitting next to her
He turned and looked at Allison and Erica and saw Erica place her hand on her thigh claws out and pushed them into her thigh but stopped right as Harris pressed the bell
Harris: Time. If you've catalyzed the reaction correctly, you should now be looking at a crystal
Chase picked up the crystal and looked at it carefully
Harris: Now, for the part of that last experiment, I'm sure you'll all enjoy, you can eat it.
He looked at the girl next to him and handed her a piece of the crystal before looking over to Lydia's table and saw Isaac hand her the crystal, Scott shot up from his seat just as Lydia was about to eat the crystal
Scott: Lydia!
Lydia: What?
He looked around the room in embarrassment before sitting back down
Scott: Nothing
Chase looked out the window and saw Derek standing by his car watching and he turned back to see Lydia had already eaten the venom-covered crystal
~~~~~~~
Chase, Scott, Stiles and Allison all rushed into coach's office and Chase closed the door
Scott: Derek's outside waiting for Lydia
Allison: Waiting to kill her?
Chase: He thinks she's the Kanima, so yes, he's going to kill her in cold blood especially after what happened at the pool
Stiles: It's not her
Chase: She didn't pass the test, man. Nothing happened
Stiles: No, it can't be her
Allison: It doesn't matter, because Derek thinks it's her. So, either we can convince him that he's wrong, or we've got figure out a way to protect her from him.
Scott: I really don't think he's gonna do anything here, not at school
Allison: But what about after school? *Sighs* What if we can prove that Derek's wrong?
Stiles: By three 'o clock?
Allison: There could be something in the bestiary.
Stiles: Oh, you mean the 900-page book written in archaic Latin that none of us can read? Good luck with that.
Allison: Actually, I think I know someone who might be able to translate it.
Scott: Uh, I can talk to Derek. Maybe convince him to give us a chance to prove it's not her.
He looked at Chase who sat in the chair twirling a lacrosse stick in his hands
Scott: But if anything happens, you guys let me and Chase handle it, okay?
Allison: What does that mean?
Scott: You can't heal like we can. I just don't want you getting hurt
Allison looked through her bag and pulled out a crossbow and held it up while looking at Scott
Allison: I can protect myself
Scott looked down and Allison set the crossbow down and looked at him
Allison: What? Did something else happen?
Scott: I just don't want you getting hurt. Seriously, if anything goes wrong you call me, okay? I don't care if your dad finds out. Call, text, scream, yell, whatever. I'll hear you and I'll find you as fast as I can. We have until 3:00
Allison nodded and Chase stopped twirling the lacrosse stick and looked on before he got up and walked over to Stiles who held the crossbow and right as Scott turned to walk away Stiles fire the crossbow and it headed straight for Scott who caught the arrow
Breathing heavily and looked at the two with Stiles shoving the crossbow into Chase's chest who handed it to Allison
Stiles: Sorry, sorry. Sensitive trigger on that
Chase walked up to the door and opened it walking out with Scott following him
~~~~~~
Chase walked through the doors followed by Stiles who pulled Lydia and Allison and Jackson
Lydia: If we're doing a study group, why didn't we stay in the library?
Stiles: Because we're meeting up with somebody else
Lydia: Hmm. Well, why don't they just meet us in the library?
Chase: Lydia? Just shut up and walk
They got out the school and Chase walked over to his car with Allison while Lydia and Jackson walked over to Stiles' jeep
~~~~~~~~
Chase stood by the window and Allison stood next to him while Stiles paced in the living room while upstairs Jackson and Lydia stood in the bathroom and Chase listened in their conversation
Jackson: << So you never gave me back my key>>
Lydia: <
Jackson: < Chase chuckled and Allison looked at him
Allison: What's so funny?
Chase: Nothing, just listening to Jackson and Lydia upstairs
Allison: Are they doi-
Chase: No! God no! I'm not a pervert
He shuddered and Allison giggled before they both looked out the window and saw Derek and his pack stood across the street and Chase smirked showing his fangs and his eyes glowed dimly
~~~~
Chase looked through the window tapping his foot impatiently
Chase: 'Did they take this long to attack when I watch it?'
He looked over at Allison and saw her about to call someone
Stile: What're you doing?
Allison: I think... I think I have to call my dad
Chase: You're not calling your dad or anyone
Stiles: Yeah, besides if you call him. he finds about you and Scott--
Allison: I know. But what are we supposed to do? They're not here to scare us, okay? They're here to kill Lydia
They all looked out the window before Stiles looked back at Allison and at her crossbow before sighing
Stiles: I got an idea.
Allison looked at him while Chase took his jacket off and rolled up his sleeves
Stiles: Just shoot one of them
Allison: Are you serious?
Stiles: We told Scott we could protect ourselves, so let's do it. Or at least give it a shot, right?
Allison: Okay
Stiles: Look they don't we're gonna fight, so if one of them gets hit, I guarantee they'll take off
Chase walked to the back door claws out and stood at the side of the door while listening for heartbeats coming from outside and heard one coming from outside the door before the door opened and he caught Isaac by the neck slamming him into the wall and growled lowly
He dropped him to the floor and grabbed his arm snapping it and Isaac let out a scream of pain before Chase stomped on his face knocking him out cold and grabbed him by the hem of his jacket and threw him across the room and he slid across the floor and right at Stiles and Allison's feet
Chase: Found Isaac
Chase walked up the stairs just in time to see Lydia walking towards the steps and grabbed her by the arm and walked into Scott's room right as Jackson finished his transformation and crawled out of the house through the open window
Lydia: What's going on?
Chase: Someone's trying to break into the house. You just stay in here, all right?
He walked out the room closing the door and down the stairs just as Allison shouted
Allison: < He sighed and walked down the stairs just to see a newly recovered Isaac standing over Stiles in the living room Isaac looked behind him and saw Chase standing there and the newly arrived Scott who both had their eyes glowing brightly
Outside the house Derek stood with Boyd next to him listening to the objects crashing and growls followed by a scream of pain before the front door opened and two came flying out and landed right at Derek's feet and Chase came walking out followed by Scott, Stiles and Allison.
Derek: I think I'm finally getting why you two keep refusing me, Scott. You guys aren't Omegas. You're already Alphas of your own pack.
He looks at Scott smirking
Derek: But you know you can't beat me
Scott: We can hold you off until the cops get here
He lost his smirk when he heard police sirens in the distance before they all looked up when they heard hissing coming from the rooftop and saw the Kanima crouched on the roof before it let out a blood curling shriek and turned around scurrying away
Derek looked down at his beaten Betas and clenched his jaw looked back at the roof and said to Boyd
Derek: Get them out of here
They all looked to the door and saw Lydia rush out the door and look at all of them confused and scared
Lydia: Would someone please tell me what the hell is going on?
Realization dawned on all of them as Derek looked at Chase and Scott said what they were all thinking
Scott: It's Jackson
