Chapter Text
Olivia's POV
The ambulance just took Jackson's body away.
Issac, Scott, and I were talking with Sheriff Stilinski.
Sheriff: "I've got to meet with the medical examiner and try and figure out what happened with Jackson. I've got an APB out on Stiles. His jeep is still in the parking lot so that means... well I don't know what that means. Um... look if he answers his phone or if he answers his emails if you guys see him."
Issac: "We'll call you."
Scott: "Look, he's probably just freaked out from all the attention or something. We'll find him."
Sheriff: "Yeah. I'll see you, okay?" I feel the room start spinning and my vision gets blurry. My hands start shaking and I can't breathe. I stumble back against the lockers. Issac and Scott both quickly sit by my side looking panicked.
Issac: "What's happening?"
Scott: "I think she's having a panic attack." I can barely register what they are saying.
Issac: "Olivia. You need to breathe. It's alright. Everything is going to be okay." He says trying to calm me down.
Olivia: "I-I can't. It's my fault. I-I tried to get to him but-."
Scott: "This isn't your fault, Liv."
Olivia: "Y-yes it is. I was on t-he field with him." I start to hyperventilate even more. Issac grabs my face and forces me to look at him.
Issac: "Liv, this isn't your fault. You need to slow your breathing down. Breathe with me okay?" I nod. "Inhale...exhale...inhale...exhale." I follow Issac's actions and after taking some deep breaths my heart rate starts to slow down. I wipe away the tears that had fallen on my
face. Issac's hands fall to my shoulders. "Better?"
Olivia: "Uh yeah I think so. Thanks."
Issac: "Come here." He pulls me into a hug. I rest my head against his chest. He rubs my back soothingly before we both pull away.
Olivia: "How are we going to find him?"
Scott: "By scent. All three of us." He rips off the door to Stiles's locker. He grabs a t-shirt, shoe, and his practice jersey. Out of nowhere, Derek appears.
Derek: "We need to talk." Peter steps out from behind the lockers.
Peter: "All of us."
Scott: "Holy shit." My heart rate picks up again and I step back.
Olivia: "I thought he was dead?"
Peter: "Ah, Olivia. Great to see you again. You're looking much better than the last time I saw you." Issac senses my discomfort and squeezes my hand.
Scott: "What the hell is this?"
Derek: "You know I thought the same thing when I saw you talking to Gerard at the sheriff's station."
Scott: "Okay, hold on. He threatened to kill my mom and I had to get close to him. What was I supposed to do?"
Peter: "I'm gonna have to go with Scott on this one. Have you seen his mom? She's gorgeous."
Olivia: "Can someone shut him up?"
Scott and Derek: "Shut up." Peter rolls his eyes.
Issac: "Who is he?"
Scott: "Little while back, he tried to kill us all. He's the one who bit Liv. We set him on fire and Derek slashed his throat."
Peter: "Hi." He says to Issac.
Issac: "Hm. Good to know."
Derek: "Look, the short version is he knows how to stop Jackson. And maybe how to save him."
Issac: "Well, that's very helpful except Jackson's dead." Peter and Derek look shocked.
Derek: "What?"
Scott: "Yeah, Jackson's dead. It just happened on the field." Derek and Peter look at each other.
Issac: "Why is no one taking this as good news?
Peter: "Because if Jackson is dead then it didn't just happen. Gerard wanted it to happen."
Derek: "But why?"
Peter: "Well that's exactly what we need to figure out. And something tells me the window of opportunity is closing. Quickly."
I turn to Scott and Issac.
Olivia: "Look I'm sorry but I've got to stop at Stiles's house. I want to check in with Sheriff Stilinski. Maybe he'll show up at home. Call me with any updates or if you need help."
Scott: "Okay. Let us know if you hear from him."
Olivia: "Oh, and Issac."
Issac: "Yeah?"
Olivia: "Thank you."
I made my way to Stiles's house. The sheriff's car was in the driveway way so I knocked on the front door.
Olivia: "Hey, sheriff. Any updates yet?
Sheriff: "Uh no not yet. You're welcome to wait in his room if you'd like."
Olivia: "Yeah, actually that would be great. Thank you."
I head to Stiles's room and sit on his bed while I wait. I do my best to stay awake but after a while, my eyes start to get heavy and I drift off.
Stiles' POV
Stiles: "Yes. Dad, I'm okay!" I said closing my bedroom door. I rest my head against the door and sigh. I feel a pair of small arms wrap around me from behind.
Olivia: "Oh my god Stiles. Thank goodness your okay." I turn around to face her recognizing her voice.
Stiles: "Olivia?" She pulls me into another hug. I wrap my arms around her pulling her close.
Olivia: "I was so worried. I'm so sorry. I tried to find you but you were already gone. I wasn't quick enough. I'm sorry!" She starts to cry. I pull away to look at her face. I wipe her tears away with my thumb.
Stiles: "It's not your fault. I'm okay. I'm home." She noticed the bruises and cut on my face and places her hand gently on the side of my face. Her face flashes from sadness to anger.
Olivia: "Who did this to you?"
Stiles: "It doesn't matter, Liv."
Olivia: "Yeah it sure the hell does. Who was it?" She says with her face serious. I knew she wasn't going to give up.
Stiles: "Gerard."
Olivia: "I'm going to kill that old son of a bitch!" She says pacing the room.
Stiles: "No. No, you are not. I'm fine."
Olivia: "Yes I am."
Stiles: "You can't-." A knock on the door interrupts our conversation. Lydia opens the door.
Lydia: "Hi."
Stiles: "Hey."
Lydia: "Your father let me in."
Stiles: "He did?... of course he did." Olivia puts her hand on my arm pulling my attention away from Lydia.
Olivia: "I'm going to find Scott. Call me if you need anything. I'll check in later." She says walking away.
Stiles: "No. Liv, wait!" I said trying to stop her but she was already gone.
Olivia's POV
I just left Stiles's house and was on my way to the hospital to meet Scott, Issac, and Melissa. I'm enraged over what Stiles told me. I know he said not to do anything but I don't think I can listen to him. Not this time.
I found the others in the hospital.
Olivia: "Stiles is back home now. He a little bruised up but he's okay."
Scott: "Well that's good news." I stop in my tracks when I notice Jackson laying on the table with some sort of weird slimy jelly encapsulating him.
Olivia: "Ew. What the hell is that?"
Scott: "That's what we are trying to figure out. Mom, what's happening to him?"
Melissa: "I thought you were going to tell me. Is it bad?"
Issac: "It doesn't look good." Jackson's body starts to shake and we all take a step back.
Scott: "Whoa. Mom, could you zip it up please?" She hesitates.
Melissa: "Okay...Okay...Okay." She zips it up trying not to freak out. The zipper gets stuck right by his face and Jacksons' fangs come out and he lets out a hissing sound. Everyone jumps back again.
Scott: "Mom. Zip. Zip. Zip." He says as she quickly zips the body bag shut.
We are trying to meet Derek to transfer Jackson before he can transform into something bigger and badder. A black SUV pulls up while we are trying to load Jackson's body in the car. Allison's dad steps out.
Scott: "You're alone?"
Argent: "More than you know."
Scott: "What do you want?"
Olivia: "Are you guys done beating up innocent teenage boys? Is that what you guys always do or was Stiles just the exception?"
Scott: "Wait, what?"
Argent: "Look. We don't have much in common. But at the moment we have a common enemy."
Scott: "That's why I'm trying to get him out of here."
Argent: "I didn't mean Jackson. Gerard has twisted his way into Allison's head. The same way he did with Kate. And I'm losing her. And I know you're losing her too."
Scott: "You're right. So can you trust me to fix this?" Argent nods. "Then can you let us go?" He looks at Scott's car.
Argent: "No... My cars faster."
Olivia: "I've got a bad feeling about this." I whisper to Issac.
We load Jackson's body in his car. We arrived in an alleyway.
Issac: "I think he stopped moving." He said as we got out of the car.
Argent: "Where's Derek?" Derek comes running out on all fours does a jump and then lands in front of us. "I'm here for Jackson. Not you."
Derek: "Somehow, I don't find that very comforting. Get him inside." We carry Jackson into the building.
Scott: "Where are they?"
Derek: "Who?"
Scott: "Peter and Lydia." Derek starts to open the body bag. "Whoa. Hold on a second. You said you knew how to save him."
Derek: "We're past that."
Scott: "What about-."
Derek: "Think about it, Scott! Gerard controls him now. He's turned Jackson into his own personal guard dog. And he set all of this in motion so that Jackson could get even bigger and more powerful."
Argent: "No. No, he wouldn't do that."
Olivia: "Why not? He doesn't seem to have a problem hitting innocent human teenagers. What else is he capable of?"
Argent: "No, look if Jackson's a dog he's turning rabid. And my father wouldn't let a rabid dog live." Gerard appears behind us.
Gerard: "Of course not. Anything that dangerous, that out of control, is better off dead." Derek releases his claws getting ready to kill Jackson. Jackson shoves his claws into Derek and throws him before he could. "Well done to the last, Scott. Like the concerned friend, you are you brought Jackson to Derek to save him. You just didn't realize that you were also bringing Derek to me." An arrow flies through and hits Issac in the shoulder. He falls to the ground. I run over and slide one arm over my shoulders and support him around the waist. Scott helps from the other side as we escape to the next room.
Scott: "Allison?"
I set Issac down on the ground and rip the arrow out from his shoulder. Jackson is fully shifted now and chases Argent into the room we were in. Derek, Scott, Issac, and I were all fully shifted and surrounding Jackson.
Derek goes after him. Punching him across the face. Jackson slashes Derek across the stomach. Scott stabs Jackson in the back with his claws. Jackson turns around and throws him. Issac grabs his neck and chokes him before getting thrown. I climb these metal poles and drop down on Jackson's back digging my claws into his neck. I grab his neck and slam him to the ground screeching in pain.
Jackson uses his tail to grab my ankle and throw me into the wall. Derek goes after him again but gets pushed down. I stand in front of Jackson and Scott kicks him into my claws and I throw Jackson into a large pillar. Derek claws him and Jackson claws back knocking Derek to the floor. Issac tries to go after him but Allison comes in and slices him across the chest and then again on the back multiple times.
Olivia: "Issac!" I run over to him. Allison steps in front of me with her blades. I look at her in the eyes. "Well? Are you gonna, do it? Go ahead. You let Gerard manipulate you. You're not like him, right?" She hesitates and walks past me going straight for Derek. I drop to the ground and hold Issac.
Scott: "No! Allison!" She raises her blades. Jackson grabs her hand before she could do anything. With his other hand, he wraps it around her throat. She gasps.
Gerard: "Not yet sweetheart."
Allison: "What are you doing?"
Scott: "He's doing what he came here to do."
Gerard: "Then you know."
Allison: "What is he talking about?" Gerard looks around.
Gerard: "It was that night outside the hospital. Wasn't it? When I threatened your mother. I knew I saw something in your eyes. You could smell it couldn't you."
Issac: "He's dying."
Olivia:"Cancer. Karma's a real bitch, huh?"
Gerard: "Yes. I am. Have been for a while now. Unfortunately, science doesn't have a cure for cancer yet. But the supernatural does." Jackson's grip tightens on Allison.
Argent: "You monster."
Gerard: "Not yet."
Allison: "What are you doing?!" Jackson tightens his grip even more.
Argent: "You'll kill her too?"
Gerard: "When it comes to survival? I'd kill my own son!!... Scott..." Scott looks at Derek then at Gerard and Allison.
Olivia: "Scott. Don't do this!"
He walks over to Derek and sticks his claws into his neck.
Derek: "Scott. Don't. You know he's going to kill me right after. You'll be an alpha."
Gerard: "That's true. But I think he already knows that. Don't you, Scott? He knows that the ultimate prize is Allison. Do this small task for me and then they can be together. You are the only piece that doesn't fit, Derek. And in case you haven't learned yet, there's is just no competing with young love." He starts to take off his jacket and roll up his sleeve.
Derek: "Scott. Don't!" He says breathing heavy.
Scott: "I'm sorry! But I have too." He forces Derek's head back. His fangs showing and Gerard's arm right in front of him. Gerard places his arm in Derek's mouth. Gerard screams in pain from the bite. Gerard holds up his arm showing off his bite. Black goo starts dripping from the wound. Everyone stares in shock.
Gerard: "What?"He looks down at his arm. "What is this? What did you do?" He looks at Scott.
Scott: "Everyone said Gerard had a plan... I had a plan too." Gerard pulls out his pill bottle.
Gerard: "No! No!" He crushes the pills filled with mountain ash. "Mountain ash!!!" He falls to the ground. The black goo slowly starts coming out of his eyes and ears. Then it comes projects out of his mouth and he falls to the floor.
Derek: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Scott: "Because you might be an alpha but your not mine."
Olivia: "Um. Well, what about me? I've been on your side the whole time!"
Scott: "I had to make it believable. I couldn't risk him figuring it out." Gerard starts to crawl away while coughing.
Gerard: "Kill them! Kill them all!" I get up quickly and kick Gerard across the face knocking him out.
Olivia: "That was for Stiles." Jackson releases Allison and she hits him in the face with her elbow. He knocks Allison to the ground. He starts to head for Scott but the all-familiar blue jeep comes crashing in running over Jackson.
Stiles: "Did I get him?" He looks over at us smiling. I let out a small chuckle. Jackson jumps onto the jeep hissing. Stiles and Lydia climb out of the car. Stiles screams and runs towards Scott. Lydia stops in front of Jackson.
Lydia: "Jackson! Jackson." He gets ready to strike at Lydia.
Stiles: "Lydia!" He screams about to go after her but Scott stops him. Lydia holds up a key. Jackson notices it and lowers his hand. He starts to change back from being the Kanima. He grabs the key and looks a Lydia like memories were coming back to him. He slowly backs away. Derek suddenly runs for Jackson and Peter comes out of hiding and runs for him too. They both impale their claws into Jackson lifting him into the air before dropping him. He falls to his knees. Lydia catches him and they both say their "I love you's." She cradles Jackson as he takes his final breath. Everyone watches her sadly.
Allison: "Where's Gerard?"
Argent: "He can't be far." Lydia gets up and starts to walk over to us crying. Stiles goes to
comfort her but stops when we all see Jackson's fingers moving. Lydia turns around and Jackson opens his eyes. Their a glowing blue color. He stands up and his face has shifted to what ours look like. He lets out a loud roar before shifting back. Lydia crashes into Jackson's arms as they embrace each other. Everyone watches them in shock. Stiles starts to walk away with a sad look wiping his eyes.
Stiles: "He scratched my jeep." He says leaving.
Olivia: "Stiles, wait!" I shout but he takes off in his jeep before I can catch him. Issac puts his hand on my shoulder while I try to not to look disappointed.
