The boys starting fighting, I look at Allison whilst going pale, "I don't feel too good." I admit, just as Allison grabs my head jerking it to the side, "You're bleeding Hope. Come on let's get you up." I leaned on Allison as she walked me outside of the locker room behind a fighting Jackson and Scott, Erica and Stiles were pulling them apart when Harris came into view. I struggle to keep my eyes open as Harris asks for an explanation for Scott and Jackson fighting, his eyes fall on me and he began to go pale just like me. "What happened to you Miss Adams?"

I went to speak but words weren't coming out so it came off as if I was ignoring him, Matt went to hand Scott the tablet before we all got sentenced to detention at 3. Once Harris was out of sight, I fell to the ground placing my back against the wall, Erica walks Jackson and Matt away from the group, Scott relax and three blurry Allison looked at me really worried. "Allison you didn't tell me you were a triplet." All the Allison faces gave me a strange look, "Hope how many fingers am I holding up?" Allison holds up two fingers in front of my eyes, "two but if I'm including your sisters there's 6. Can you bring me to the ladies room? I feel like I'm going to puke." I admit, Stiles and Scott help me up and supported my weight as Allison led them to the nearest girls bathrooms.

Once I got sick a couple of times I felt a lot better, I was only seeing one Allison and the room stopped spinning, I flush the toilet, walking out slightly unsteady towards the sink, as I was my hands I use some tap water to wash the taste of sick out of my mouth, "Have you got any minty gum?" I ask Allison who instantly pulls it out of her bag and hands me two pieces, I throw them into my mouth and started chewing. I took out some wipes from my book bag and began wiping the blood off behind my ear.

"Can you get whatever's on the back of my neck?" Allison takes the wipes, I move my hair out of the way as she cleans, "Thanks for taking care of me Ali." "Thanks for taking care of me Hope." Allison smiles before throwing the wipe away, we walk out together. I was definitely a lot more stable, that I could walk on my own as if nothing happened. Scott leaves with Stiles as Allison and I make our way to our lockers, I take two painkillers once I get there. "Are you sure you don't want to go to the school nurse?" Allison asks after watching down the two pills, "No, whatever it was has definitely passed." I down a bottle of lucozade to get some sugar in my blood to make up for the blood loss.

The final bell rang, I went to my locker to grab my homework and empty out my page of books I didn't need, I grabbed a chocolate bar from the vending machines on the way to my detention in the library so I can keep my sugar levels up. As I was walking I spotted Matt whispering to Jackson, I send them a confused look since it was a very odd pairing of people, I joined up with Stiles and Scott, "we need to talk to Erica, she knows about Jackson's parents." Stiles whispers in my ear, I hold back a shutter at this action as it felt strange but good having his hot breath against my neck. "What about Allison?" I ask looking around waving at her when she came into view, "we leave her out of this." Scott warns me, I was a little taken aback and for good reason, "I know you're trying to protect her but we need as much people as we can get." I argue quietly, "just this time Hope please." I look back at Allison talking to Matt a little, she looked really disinterested in what he was saying, "fine." I sigh, looking down at the ground ashamed at the decision of leaving Allison out of the circle.

I silently ate my chocolate bar as we waited for Harris to come through, he walked in not evening acknowledging us, Scott and Stiles walked in first I waited to walk in last with Erica to make sure I sat at the same table as her. "We can't be in detention together. I have a restraining order against these fools." Jackson spoke up before taking his seat, Harris told Scott and Stiles to move to a different table, my eyes widen, am I supposed to work alone. "Erica, Stiles said you know how Jackson's parents died, is that true?" I whisper hoping that Jackson's ears didn't have super hearing when he was conscious and human, "It is." Erica smirks looking at me, "Can you tell me what you know? Please." I ask politely.

I felt claws on my upper thigh, I look down to see Erica ready to dig her nails into my leg, "What are you doing?" I question in surprise, Erica leans closer to me, "You know I used to be just like you, I had a huge crush on Stiles yet he didn't even acknowledge me compared to Lydia." My breath hitched at the mention of liking Stiles, "You were also the only person who was nice to me before Derek, why is that?" Erica asks moving her hands slightly upwards, "I don't like bullies, I've had my fair share of them, I wanted to let you know you have someone who gives a shit about you." Erica declawed her hand moving it onto the desk whilst looking at me with a surprised expression on her face, "you always seem so happy and confident." She whispers lightly, "We'll I had to piece myself back together after other people broke me down." I fell silent, I didn't think I would ever have such a deep conversation with werewolf Erica.

I started drawing the faces in the room, starting with Matt, he was currently eating potato chips which I incorporated into the drawing. I could feel eyes on me but I didn't pay into them as I continued the sketch, I finished the drawing looking at it and noticed I had drawn an unusual pattern on Matt's neck. I took a picture of it sending it to Stiles and Allison, 'Look at his neck, I didn't even realise I did that, do you think it might mean something.' I watch as they read their new text message, Stiles showed Scott whilst Allison started typing, 'I think he was reading something on his tablet about the Kanima, I think I heard him say the word.' My eyes widen at the text telling her to keep an eye on him via text, I slowly make my way to the other side of the table to draw Erica, once I got her permission of course, I begin with the eyes, they reminded me of bambi, doe shaped and beautiful.

I had almost finished when I suddenly get a really bad stabbing pain above my left eyebrow, I flinch lightly raising my hand to the area where the pain throbbed from. I watch as Jackson gets up and walks out of the room holding the same place in pain. Harris tells no one to leave their seats, following Jackson out of the room, I lay my head in my arms, taking a shaky breath before closing my eyes. I'm transported to Jackson's eyes, I enter the boys locker room in a lot of pain, as I look into a mirror I see a snake come out of my eye before I gasped and reopen my eyes. I rub my eye making sure it was still intact, I looked around the table to see Scott, Stiles and Erica looking at me, I get up and move to a table alone.
