facedown in the pool

After arriving at the game Scott puts on the rest of his Lacrosse gear and gets filled in by Stiles about his plan to get Gerard's keys. Scott then immediately gets send on the field because an opposing player is wrecking their team.

While everyone is watching the Lacrosse game, worried that their team will lose Allison tells her grandfather that she's cold and he gives her his coat, in which are the keys to his office.

Upon seeing Allison get the jacket Stiles sneaks away and makes his way over to Allison, who hands him the key's hoping no one sees them. After receiving the keys Stiles hurries to the principal's office and searches the room for the bestiary but he finds nothing and gets surprised by Erica who drags him to Derek, who is already waiting at the school's pool.

Meanwhile on the field After Coach has to few players because most have to sit out because of the injuries from the 'abomination', a large player for the opposing team he asks the crowd for a volunteer and Boyd volunteer.

Now with Boyd on their team, who is using his new werewolf powers despite Scott's warning the Beacon Hill's team manages to get a tie with only a few seconds to spare but Scott, who landed the final goal gets knocked away by the 'abomination' and lands hard with an audible crunch.

Everyone stops their cheering and goes over to Scott, who is lying on the ground with one of his legs bend in a funny way. Lydia and Allison are the first one to arrive, worried that Scott has seriously hurt himself, despite his abilities. "I'm fine, what about the book?" Scott tells them through gritted teeth.

"It's not in his office, it's gotta be in the house." Allison informs him.

"Oh god Scott, your leg is broken." Lydia says scared, while examining the leg.

"Not for long." Scott says and gets helped up by Allison and Lydia.

"Scott?" Melissa asks worriedly, having just arrived at the scene.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Scott tells her and Coach.

"I could have sworn I literally heard bone breaking from where I sat." Melissa says shocked but relieved.

"Seriously I'm fine." Scott replies before Lydia leads him back to the stands with him limping a bit, leaning on her.

With Stiles

After getting dragged to Derek he demands to know what the creature Stiles saw looked like.

"Alright, the thing was pretty slick looking, the skin was dark, kind of a pattern I think I actually saw scales. Eyes, eyes are yellowish and slitted, it has a lot of teeth and it's got a tail." Stiles describes the creature.

"Are we good? What, have you seen it? You have this look on your faces like you know exactly what I'm talking about." Stiles asks them while both Derek and Erica are staring over him and he follows their eyes, turning around to look at the railing above him and sees the creature that terrorizes the town hiss at them.

The creature then jumps down and knocks Erica out by slashing at her legs, causing her to fall against a wall and hit her head.

Derek shoves Stiles away, telling him to run and gets cut across his neck by the creature. He then feels his limbs go numb and starts to fall back, before Stiles catches him and drags him along with much difficulty given their difference in stature.

"Where is it, do you see it?" Stiles ask him.

"No, call Scott!" Derek tells him, trying to run alongside Stiles to the best of his abilities, given he can barely feel his legs anymore.

Stiles fishes his phone out of his pocket but drops it and as he bends down to grab it Derek falls over and goes flying into the pool.

Stiles goes after Derek and holds him overwater, paddling with his feet and remaining arm.

"Do you see it?" Stiles asks, looking around fearfully.

"No." Derek replies.

"OK, maybe it took off." Stiles guesses but they then hear the same scream it made as it attacked them.

"Maybe not." Derek says.

Stiles paddles over to the edge of the pool but the creature is circling them, walking around the edge of the pool.

"Wait, wait, Stop!" Derek orders.

"What is it waiting for?" Stiles wonders, observing the frightening creature keeping them trapped.

The creature soon tries to enter the water but as it's hand touches the water it shrieks back scared and puts some distance between itself and the pool.

"Did you see that? I don't think it can swim." Stiles asks Derek.

"So, we're safe as long as we stay in here." Derek surmises.

"Well looks like it, at least until I can't keep us overwater anymore." Stiles agrees.

"Great." Derek says sarcastically.

"Wait I have an idea, you can still shift right?" Stiles asks him.

"I don't know, probably. Why?" Derek asks.

"Use your howl to call for help, even if Scott doesn't hear it, at least Boyd and Isaac should react to it right?" Stiles tells him.

"Worth a try." Derek agrees and shifts before he howls out as loud as he can.

In the meantime, Allison went home with her grandfather and continues to look for the book, only to find out that the book she saw was only a cooking book. While Scott, after telling his mother that he's staying over at Lydia's for the time being because she has trouble sleeping and changing back into his street clothes gets in Lydia's car, when he hears Derek's howl.

"Did you hear that?" Scott asks his girlfriend.

"No? What was I supposed to hear?" Lydia asks confused.

"I think Derek just howled, he might be in trouble. It came from the pool, I better go check it out. Stay here and lock the doors OK?" Scott tells her.

"OK, hurry back I don't like being a sitting duck." Lydia replies.

"Don't worry I'll be back before you know it." Scott says, giving her a peck on her cheek before he closes the door and runs towards the pool.

Once he reaches the pool he sees Erica unconscious at the door and Stiles struggling to keep both him and Derek overwater.

He only manages to take a couple steps into the building before he gets tackled by the creature.

After he managed to free himself he shifts but sees that he's been cut on his arm and can feel his limbs going numb. Thinking quick he activates his Talons, making them glow and grabs for the nearest part of the creature he can reach, which happens to be its tail so Scott plunges his talons into the creature's tail, causing it to shriek out in pain and he feels the feeling in his limbs coming back much to his relief. The creature however is angered and lops of its own tail, just over where Scott pierced it and regrows it in a matter of seconds, before it throws Scott into a mirror.

As he gets up Scott takes a shard of the broken mirror as weapon and holds it up, ready to defend himself but the creature upon seeing its reflection takes off and jumps through a window on the roof.

Scott hurries over to the edge of the pool and helps Stiles and Derek back on solid ground asking them "You guys OK?"

"Well, given the circumstances, I guess so." Stiles tells him, before he reaches for his phone and sees a text from Allison saying that the bestiary is on the flash drive on Gerard's keychain, which is still in the door to his office.

"Look guys, I know where the bestiary is." Stiles tells them happily.

"Alright, I need to make sure Lydia is OK, meet us in the parking lot." Scott tells them and runs off towards Lydia's car.

A few minutes later Stiles, Derek and Erica all come out of the school, Stiles gets out a laptop and opens the bestiary but can't read any of it, since it's in Latin.

"Is that even a language?" Stiles asks scrolling through pages of to him unreadable material.

"It's Latin, I could read most of it probably." Lydia tells him.

"Still, how are we supposed to figure out what this thing is, I'm sure there is more than one scaly creature in here.

"It's called a Kanima." Derek tells them.

"You knew the whole time?" Stiles asks annoyed.

"No, only after it got confused by its own reflection." Derek answers.

"It doesn't know what it is." Scott guesses.

"Or who." Derek adds.

"What else do you know?" Stiles demands to know.

"Just stories, rumors." Derek says.

"But it's like us?" Scott asks.

"A shapeshifter yes, but it's not right, it's like an …" Derek says.

"abomination." Stiles says.

"Derek, we need to work together on this. We may even have to tell the Argents." Scott tells him.

"You trust them?" Derek asks shocked.

"Nobody trusts anyone, that's the problem and while we're here arguing about who's on what side there is something scarier and faster than any of us and it's killing people. And we still don't know anything about it." Scott tells him.

"I know one thing, when I find it, I'm gonna kill it." Derek says and walks away already thinking about how to handle this foe.

Erica goes over to Scott and surprises him by kissing him on his cheek saying, "Thanks for saving me handsome."

"Wha.." Scott stutters out shocked before Erica is already getting into Derek's car and they drive away.

"Scott? Is there something I should know?" Lydia asks pissed off, tapping her foot expectantly.

"Hell no, Stiles tell her, you know I only defended everyone from the Kanima thing." Scott says.

"He's right, I'm sure Erica is trying to seduce Scott on Derek's orders, I mean it would make sense. Last thing I heard, the two of them were this close to Scott ripping her arms off." Stiles tells her.

"Good, well, not good that Derek sending that floosy to seduce my boyfriend, but good to know that I can trust you." Lydia says, hugging Scott and giving him a quick peck on his lips.

"I told you, I'm not like Jackson. Well, I think today has been eventful enough I think we should get back home." Scott says, hugging her back before they get back in Lydia's car, offering Stiles a ride but he declines since he came with his Jeep.

Once Scott and Lydia arrive at her house, they go up to her room as quietly as possible since Lydia's mother is already sleeping.

While Lydia is getting ready for bed in her private bathroom Scott is looking over the copy of the bestiary they made, looking for a picture of the Kanima until his phone rings.

"Hello? Scott McCall here." Scott answers his phone.

"Hello, this is Gerard, now listen and listen carefully. I know what you are, beta and one of these days you're going to do me a favor, because if you don't you better get used to the idea of being an orphan. You don't want that now do you Scott?" Gerard threatens him.

"No." Scott says through gritted teeth.

"Good, so you'll do as I ask?" Gerard says.

"Yes." Scott replies before Gerard hangs up.

"Who was that?" Lydia asks coming out of the bathroom in her usual blue nightgown.

"Gerard, he just threatened to kill my mother if I don't do him a favor in the near future." Scott tells her angered.

"Calm down, I'm sure we'll figure this out. You have two geniuses on your side after all." Lydia tells him supportively, grabbing his hand, which was balled to a fist to stop him from shifting due to his anger.

"Now come on, let's try to sleep and remember, if I wake up and do something don't hide it from me the next day. I need to know if something is wrong with me other than the visions of Peter." Lydia says while she gets under her covers with Scott.

"I promise, no more secrets." Scott agrees and gives her a kiss on her head and lies down next to her with his arm wrapped around her.
