"Your turn."

I sigh. Scott, is once again, trying to pin the garbage on me. "I've been taking it out all week."

He puts on his headphones and walks upstairs. I roll my eyes and carry the bag outside. On my way back inside, I hear a hiss. I raise an eyebrow and look around. I start toward my door again and a see a huge lizard on my roof. It's dark so it's hard to make out.

I immediately notice its eyes glowing yellow. It jumps to the ground and I fall back. When it starts coming closer, I start to scream. I use all the air I could to make sure I'm heard. All of a sudden, I don't see the creature. It's just Scott. "Scar!"

I'm out of breath and confused. It just, all of a sudden, disappeared. "What's wrong?"

"The...thing. It was there."

"What are you talking about? There's nothing there. What did you see?"

I run in the house and up to my room. I can't tell him so I'm going to show him. I go under my bed and pull out my sketch book and begin drawing everything I saw but it wasn't much. I grab yellow paint and paint the eyes. Scott comes in, out of breath. "Why did you run off like that?"

I hold up my book. "This is what I saw."

He looks it over. "What is it?"

"I don't know but it doesn't look good."

I go to Derek's lair the next day. I come in to see Derek throw Isaac to the floor. "Ouch," I say.

Derek raises an eyebrow at me. "What are you doing here?"

I shove my hands in my hoodie pockets. "I came to watch you beat your pack up," I say sarcastically. "What the hell are you doing?"

"Making them do what you and Scott should have done a long time ago."

I watch Isaac run through an obstacle course and he is pretty good. But when he lunges for Derek, Derek grabs him by the neck and throws him down without blinking. Isaac does it again and again, still failing miserably. The last time, it is both Erica and Isaac. But they still fail.

I give Isaac a look and I start on the course myself. When I get to Derek, he tries to throw me down but I counter by ducking under his arm and jumping onto his back until he hit the floor. As he gets up, I see Boyd watching from a distance. "Now, can either of you try to be unpredictable?" he says to his amateur pack.

Erica jump up into Derek's arms and kisses him passionately. I look away. Derek pushes her off. "That's the last time you do that. Now, we're gonna try something. Isaac, try to attack Scarlett."

I raise my eyebrows and look to Isaac. He slowly gets up and charges for me. I watch him then step out the way and watch him run into a wall. "Erica."

While I'm still turned around, Erica tries to do a sneak attack. I duck and she lands right on Isaac. I sigh and look at Derek. "Your pack is pathetic."

"Oh, I'll show you pathetic," I hear Erica growl.

I turn and she's right behind me. She begins clawing at me. I take steps back and move out the way of her swings. The last swing to my face, I grab her wrist as well as the other one in the shape of an 'X'. I twist them, flipping her over and throwing her to the floor. Isaac lunges himself at me. I grab him by the shoulders and boost myself up. I twist, turning him and release with a kick in his back. His falls on top of Erica with a yell of pain. I huff and squat down. "Now, what have we learned today?"

"Are we done?" Isaac asks, looking to Derek. "I have about a hundred bones that need to heal."

Derek just reaches for his arm and breaks it. "Now, a hundred and one."

He explains that he is not teaching the young Betas how to fight. He is teaching them how to survive. Derek says the hunters are planning something and they have to beware the new creature, too. He is trying to teach them everything he knows quickly. "Which isn't much," I mumble.

He just looks back at me. I smile. The next few days are hell. Allison's grandfather has a book that might be able to help us identify the lizard creature. During the big lacrosse game, me and Stiles go through Mr. Gerard, our new principal's, office. We look for the leather book but we can't find it. Erica sneaks up on us and I know it isn't good. She grabs me by the wrist and Stiles by the ear. She takes us to a waiting Derek. He's holding a basketball in his hand. "What is he gonna do with that?" Stiles whisper.

"I bet my life it isn't to play basketball," I whisper back.

"One of you saw the creature going around killing people. What did you see?" Derek asks.

I shake my head. "I never saw it." I lie but I know I can hide it well. "Scott did. Why aren't you asking him?"

"Now, Scarlett, we can't pull him out of such an important game. What did you see in the mechanic garage, Stiles?"

"Ah... several alarming EP violations that I'm seriously considering reporting," he replies.

I nod in agreement. "I took my car there. It's disgusting."

"See?"

Derek uses his claws to deflate the ball. I close my eyes and sigh. While Stiles describes the creature, Derek and Eric's eyes start to move up slowly. I move to their side and jump. The lizard creature is more horrific than I thought. It's scale skin camouflaged with the night. The paralyzing liquid spewed from its tail and claws. "You guys have seen it, haven't you?"

I gulp. "Well, Stiles, I think we all have now."

Stiles looks up to see the mutant perched on top of the roof he stood under. The lizard knocks Erica out cold. "Run!" Derek exclaims.

The creature slashes Derek in the back of the neck, paralyzing him. It scratches me but I don't feel anything. Me and Stiles have to drag him to the pool. We have no choice but to jump in. "Didn't you get scratched?" Derek asks.

I nod. "Yeah, but I'm not paralyzed. Maybe...."

I have Stiles hold Derek up as I swim back. I get out the water and face off with the creature. I wolf out and go to scratch it but it easily wraps it tails around my wrist and throw me to the side, making me black out. I wake up in the car. I hear Derek, Scott and Stiles talking on the outside. I don't get up. I just listen.

"It's a kanima," Derek says.

"How long have you known this exactly?" Scott asks.

"I figured it out when it ran from its own reflection. It, itself, doesn't know who or what it is. It's a shape shifter like us but it's not...right."

"So, we can call it an abomination?" Stiles implies.

I smile. Scott tries to urge Derek into working with us to fight the kanima. Derek walks off while saying, "I swear, next time I find it, I'm gonna kill it."

We drive to go pick up our mom from the hospital. Gerard comes to our window and we get out to greet him. I walk over to the driver's side, next to Scott, which is a huge mistake. He pulls out a knife and stabs Scott in his stomach. I try to push him off but he pulled out a blade and stabs me too. I gasp. I ball up my fist but don't move. He twists both blades and we both hiss through our teeth. "I know what you are. I can just feel your bodies healing itself already. I just played the part of a doddering old grandfather." I wince when he pushes the blade farther. "I will kill the one person you love the most. Unless you do me a favor."

He retracts the blades and walks away. I gasp for air. I look over at my mom, coming out the hospital. Whatever Gerard wants, our mom's life is hanging in the balance...
