Matt had been running for who knew how long. He thought he had everything panned out perfectly in order to get his revenge. Then Scott McCall and his gang had to ruin everything by being all heroic. All he had originally wanted was just to get revenge on those kids who had tortured him as a child. Of course Isaac’s dad was just an added bonus, after all it was at his house that the older kids tortured him, it was his beer that Isaac’s older brother had given them. He had to pay too. The allure of power got to be too much for him tough. Years of alternating between being ignored and bullied had taken it’s toll on him and finding Jackson in his weakened state gave Matt a sense of power. The Kanima needed someone to guide it, and mold it, in return the creature was loyal and obedient - always there for him when he needed it. Ego and pride could be horrible things, especially when they were met with rivalry. He made the mistake of going after Allison which had put him on her family of hunters’ radar. He knew enough about them that he thought they wouldn’t be an issue - that was until her psychopathic grandfather had come to town. Now Matt had been running for his life only to run smack dab into Gerard Argent. The older man wrapped his hands around Matt’s neck and plunged him into the nearby lake. He frantically swung his arms around, trying to get free of the hunter’s grasp. Out of the corner of his eye he could see his arm start to scale over - just like Jackson’s was when he first found the jock. Panic was taking over the young man, his eyes were bulging and despite his better judgement he found himself opening his mouth to scream. This couldn’t be happing again, he had already lived through this nightmare once.
