Peter might have just been speaking in a 'beginning of the end' sort of way, but I'd have to go rewatch the episode to see the scene. You need to remember, Cora was only 10/11 when the fire happened. So she was younger than that when Paige happened. She might've noticed the eye change, but they might not have told her what really happened because she was too young.

But then this begs the question, how in the hell did she end up in South America? It's kind of insane that she survived and Derek didn't know about it. It would also be safe to assume that Laura knew nothing about Cora as well. So there's open space there. Until further notice, I'll just assume that a pack was travelling  through Beacon Hills and found Cora and took her with them.

That's the worst plot hole if 3a, and nothing I can think of makes any sense for her disappearance after the fire. My head canon tells me she bolted from the fire somehow, and just kept running. I doubt she stayed in BH, if she did, don't you think she would've went to the police? She knew her brother and sister were in/at school at the time, and the police would probably know how to find them.
