Full Moon
It was four days after the night at school and Allison was going back to school. And she hated it very much. But didn't fight against it.
She was currently in the car in front of the school as her dad tried to keep her locked in the car. Allison reached for the door just as her dad locked it again.
"Dad, if you're going to insist on driving me to school, you at least have to let me out of the car." Allison told him with a sigh.
"Kate, what's your opinion on homeschooling?" Argent asked his sister.
"Well, you know, I'm more of a learning-by-doing kind of girl..." Kate asked and Allison leaned forward.
"What's your opinion on overprotective dads who keep ruining their daughters' lives?" Allison asked, and after a second Kate leaned over her brother with a smile and unlocked the door. "Thank you." She said before leaving the car.
"You're welcome." She heard Kate say vaguely.
When she reached the school doors she found Lydia waiting for her.
"How are you doing?" Allison asked the girl.
"I'm fine. You?" Lydia asked her.
"Working on it. Ask me again tomorrow." Allison told her and Lydia nodded.
In her second period she had a test in science, but due to the class room behind a crime scene at the moment, they were in one of the English rooms. Allison took her seat with Stiles next to her.
"You have forty-five minutes to complete the test. Twenty-five percent of your grade can be earned right now simply by writing your name on the cover of the blue book. However, as happens every year, one of you will inexplicably fail to put your name on the cover, and I'll be left yet again questioning my decision to ever become a teacher. So, let's get the disappointment over with. Begin!" Harris said, passing out the tests before going away.
And five seconds later Scott and Stiles ran out of the room. Allison sighed and got back to her test. She barely got out of skipping on her birthday when there was nothing going on at school, her mom would kill her for skipping a test.

Later that day Allison, and the rest of the team, were all gathered for Lacrosse announcements.
"All right, geniuses, listen up! Due to the recent pink-eye epidemic-- thank you, Greenberg-- the following people have made first line on a probationary basis-- emphasis on the word "probationary." Rodriguez. Welcome to first line. Taylor, and, uh... Oh, for the love of crap, I can't even read my own writing. What is that, an "s?" No, no, that's not an "s." That's a-that's a-that's a "b." It's definitely a "b." Uh, Rodriguez, Taylor, and, uh... Bilinski." Coach said and Stiles shot out of his seat, cheering as Allison giggled in amusement and everyone watched him either amused or annoyed. "Bilinski!"
"Yes?" Stiles asked happily.
"Shut up!" Coach told him and Stiles nodded, sitting back down.
"Yes, sir."
"Stiles..."
"It's Biles. Call me Biles, or I swear to God, I'll kill you." Stiles told Scott, who sighed as Allison just continued to giggle in amusement.
"Another thing-- from here on out, immediately, we're switching to co-captains. Congratulations, McCall!" Coach said and Scott's head snapped up, as did everyone else's.
"What? " Jackson asked, baffled.
"What do you mean, "what?" Jackson, this takes nothing away from you. This is about combining separate strengths into one unit. This is about taking your unit, McCall's unit... we're making one big unit. McCall, it's you and Jackson now! Everybody else? Asses on the field! Asses on the field!" He yelled and everyone started running around for practice.
"Dude, can you believe this? You're a captain, I'm first line. I'm first-freaking-line!" Stiles said excitedly to Scott and Allison.
~~~~
And just like in the show Scott rammed into Danny. Hard. And Practice ended quickly after that. When Allison got home Kate and Allison started on the 'training'. What Kate didn't know was that Allison already knew how to do everything Kate was teaching her, she just didn't want to raise suspensions.
"Right. Now, you can't tell your father about this, because he'll kill me." Kate told her and Allison nodded, holding up the taser.
"Okay." Allison nodded.
"Okay. Well, what's our hapless victim's name?" Kate asked her.
"Mr. Bear." Allison giggled.
She found the woman pretty fun when she wasn't, you know, trying to kill children. Or burning families alive. But at the end of the day, the more time she spent with the woman, she was starting to think that maybe, just maybe, Gerard could have brainwashed or tricked her into doing it all,because that does sound like something he did. And she openly admitted the reason she went after Scott and them after she turned was because of what happened to Allison. I mean Kate was alive for over a year and only turned up after Allison died, so... She hoped one day the woman would get the redemption she had in the show the moment she killed Gerard.
"You named your teddy bear Mr. Bear? That's, like, the worst teddy bear name in the world." Kate told her, incredulous, and Allison giggled harder.
"I was five years old!" She said defensively.
"All right, well, just shoot your unimaginatively named bear and put it out of its misery." Kate told her and Allison nodded, taking a deep breath before pulling the trigger, and shooting the bear as Kate cheered. "Oh! Hahaha! See? Now that's what I'm talkin' about! See, if you would have had that the other night, you would have just kicked his ass." Kate said, turning to a smiling and giggling Allison, who reached up and high fived the woman in amusement.
"You know, I'm thinking of taking up Archery again." Allison told the woman who looked even more excited.
"That's perfect!" Kate happily told the girl.
~~~~
And that's exactly what Allison did. A few hours later she found herself in the sporting store, looking for archery stuff. She was looking at an archery scope when she saw Jackson watching her. She smiled and waved and he walked over to her.
"What are you doing here?" Jackson asked her and she shrugged, setting the scope back down.
"Oh, I was just thinking I might get back into some things I haven't done for a while. What about you?" She asked him.
"Oh, uh, for Danny. McCall bashed him pretty hard on the field." He said, holding up a new helmet, and Allison smiled slightly. "Why do I get the feeling you could use someone to talk to?" He asked her and she sighed.
"Is it that obvious?"
"Maybe 'cause I'm kind of feeling the same way." He told her and she nodded.
And a few minutes later they were sitting in his car, talking.
"If I tell you something, will you promise not to laugh?" She asked him and he looked at her seriously.
"I would never laugh at you." He told her and she nodded.
"I don't think it was Derek in the school." She told him honestly.
"Neither do I." Jackson told her, just as honestly, before seeing the look on her face. "Is there something else? Look, Allison, just because you can't trust Scott, doesn't mean you can't trust anybody."
"I know. But that's the thing-- there are people lying to me. People closer to me than Scott." She told him with a sigh as he looked at her with a frown.
"Who?" He questioned.
"My father. And, it's-it's not like I don't realize we're not exactly the most normal family on the block. I mean, not every teenage girl comes home to a garage full of Glocks and AK-47s. Or can make a scared phone call and have a truck full of guys show up, ready to take down anything within a five mile radius or more." She told him with a sigh.
"But, um...?"
"I just have this weird feeling, like, my dad knows more about what happened in the school than we do." She said, lying, she knew a lot more than her dad did, but in this moment she's trying to feed Jackson's suspicions while also trying to gain a future friend. More or less.
"And I saw someone standing in the hall, but... but, I mean, it might have been Derek, but I couldn't see any features. It was-it was just this kind of black shape. Here's where it gets really hard to explain-- the guy, or whatever it was, it just got down on all fours, and then just took off." He told her and she looked at him, frowning in confusion.
"On all fours, like, hands and knees?" She asked him.
"No, like hands and feet. Like an animal. He moved like an animal."
"Well, then how do you know it wasn't an animal?" She asked him, frowning deeper.
"Because when he was standing up, he looked like a guy."
"Then, what was it?" She asked before the car shook as if something hit it. "...What was that?" She asked, going to get out but Jackson grabbed her.
"Don't!" He said and she looked at him, before seeing the time on his dashboard, and then she went to look at her watch, and saw the time.
"Crap, I've gotta go. I'll see you at school." She told him before getting out of the car and going to hers before going home.
