Variations

Omega - 5

Maybe this was a bad idea. I took a breath as mom and I pushed open the doors to the school's front door and looked down as the reporters flashed their cameras at us, taking various pictures as we shield our eyes looking straight down and pushing past them.

Allison escaped from the back entrance like we planned so they wouldn't ambush her when she left.

The paparazzi would be pissed when they figured out we were a diversion.

"Mrs. Hale would you like to comment on the death of your family's murderer?"

"Mrs. Hale how do you feel about all of this?"

"Miss Hale, how do you feel having class with an Argent?" Jesus they have kids who go here.

"Mr. Hale!" A reporter said when both my dad and Derek came to our rescue. "How does it feel knowing your parents death has been avenged?!"

Avenged? She was murdered! Avenged is paying the price with lifetime in jail not her life!

We were always close with our family, none so much then my mom and Derek. I mean, my mom grew up in that house and so did Derek.

I was 10 when it happened, and I loved my family. The media knows of Laura's death at the hands of "Kate" so they're main focus right now is mom and Derek.

Mom because she is and in Laura's case, was their aunt and guardian till they both turned 18. My parents covered me and Derek covered us all. "Can we get a comment!?" Derek turned around to face the reporter who stuck a microphone in his face.

"You want a comment?" They all nodded eagerly and I knew what was coming next.

"Here's a comment," He growled. "Stay the hell away from my family."

He and Dad hurried us to the car parked out front. They kept following us either way and shouting even as we got in the car.

"Thanks for the save." Mom thanked both men as we started for the house. "Yeah we needed it."

"You staying for dinner Derek?" Mom asked as we all stepped out of the car. We were back home, thankfully in one piece. Derek nodded. "Sure."

My parents proceed inside the house while Derek and I used the gate to get to the backyard. Where I gave him a piece of my mind.

"What the hell did you do to Jackson?"

"I didn't do anything!"

"Tell that to the ooze coming out of his nose!" I drop my bag by the sliding door.

"His body is rejecting it, like Lydia."

"Except that Lydia didn't bleed black ooze." I argued as I texted Scott I was on my way to Kate's Funeral.

I'm not going for her, I'm going for Allison. I've been reading news articles that the town newspaper has published. Kate was being blamed for the things she didn't do. Although I guess if you think about it she started the fire that turned my uncle into a psychotic serial killer wanting revenge so she to killed those animals and Laura. Sheriff Stilinski dropped by our house shortly after the whole situation. We learned the reason why Laura was so interested in necklace. Apparently it use to belong to Kate, Laura was looking for the killer. So here is the story they came up with.

Laura came back to town to investigate the fire. She got to close, so Kate killed her. And since Kate knew my family wouldn't stop till her death was avenged, (we told him we were looking into it) she killed all the people involved and tried to frame Derek. It was a good cover story I'll give them that.
