Chapter 11
“But isn’t Danny in the hospital?” Cora asks.
Me, Stiles and Cora are going to the hospital to try to get some information from Danny. Poor Danny just survived death and is going to be asked questions by THE Stiles Stilinski.
We arrive at the hospital from Beacon Hills and walk inside, Cora decides to stay outside since she apparently has phobia towards this hospital.
We went cautiously towards the room that Danny was in and we got in hoping that no one saw us.
“Danny?” Stiles asks quietly. “Danny, are you awake?”
I slap him in the back of his head making him wince and making him turn around mouthing a ‘what’.
“If he was awake he would be with his eyes open you silly bumbum.” I say quietly rolling my eyes at the paled skin boy.
I walk closer to Danny.
“I think the only way is to go through his bag.” I say quietly to the pale boy next to me. He nods and goes down on his knees to look under the hospital bed for a bag.
He picks it up with an adorable grin on his face.
We both sit down and slowly open the bag.
“What are you guys doing?” Someone weakly speaks up. I look up to see Danny with his eyes barely open.
“Nothing, Danny.” I say with my best try at a soothing voice.
“This is just a dream that you’re having.” Stiles says making me look at him with a slightly angry face. A dream really?
“Are you going through my stuff?” He asks.
“Right. But only in the dream, remember? Dream. Dreaming.” Stiles says as I look through the huge amounts of books in his bag.
“Why would I dream about you both going through my stuff?” Danny boy asks.
“I don’t know that, Danny, Okay? It’s your dream. Take responsibility for it. Now, shut up and go back to sleep.” Stiles says giving himself a cute yet achieved nod. I find a paper and bring it out to find a map. Me and Stiles both look at each other.

We all met at the Animal clinic after finding Danny’s paper in which he apparently was working on it with Mr. Harris.
“Okay, so what does this kid’s homework have to do with finding Deaton?” Cora asks.
“Because it’s not just a homework.” I say as Stiles nods.
“It’s a project on geomagnetic fields. They flow through the earth. They can even be affected by lunar phases, all right? Now, look at this. This is a note from Harris on Danny’s proposal.” Stiles says while showing the tiny sticky paper that was on the paper that Danny had in his bag.
“‘I strongly advise you to choose another subject. The ideas here while innovative and thoughtful, border on pseudo-science. Not suitable for class.” Lydia reads from the tiny paper.
“Harris wasn’t just a sacrifice. He knew something.” Scott said.
“Now check this out. Allison’s dad wasn’t the only one with a map, all right? Danny had one too. Danny marked all the telluric currents, okay?” Stiles says while placing his fingers through the paper in front of us. “Now the weird thing about beacon hills is that it actually is a beacon. You wouldn’t believe how much energy flowing through the earth is around this town.” Stiles says.
“Stiles, look, they match. All right, there’s three places, right? Where they’re kidnapped, and then the place where their body was found.” Scott says while his eyes lay on the big paper.
“Look, that’s right on the telluric current.” Lydia says placing her hand on one of the spots.
“So, maybe where he was sacrificed is somewhere in between.” Scott says.
“Let me see that, you said there’s six more bodies to be found. Deaton’s one of them. Got to be somewhere in between, right?” Stiles asks looking to all of us.
“Stop.” Cora says placing her hand in top of Stiles’ hand.” Not to be jealous or anything but isn’t she a bit too close for comfort? “He’s in the vault. He’s in the same vault.” She says while placing both their hands on the vault where she was hidden and should probably never have left.
The anger is playing a side on me right now.
*
I decided to go with Scott to save Deaton because what is better then one werewolf? Two werewolves.
Plus I didn’t want to interfere on the love affair between Stiles and Cora.
“So, what’s going on between you and Stiles?” Scott asks.
“Me and Stiles? Nothing – absolutely nothing, why?” I ask confused.
“Why is the question I should be asking. Why aren’t you together?” He asks.
“Uhm because – maybe some people don’t want to be in a relationship. Maybe it’s too stressful. Maybe it’s not the right time since we are in a verge of the first werewolf war.” I ask making Scott chuckle.
“Let’s do this.” He says with determination in his voice.
*
We break inside the vault to find Deaton suspended by his arms as he hangs in there limply.
“Let’s go.” I say and run closer to the veterinarian.
“Dayton! Stop!” Scott shouts.
As I am running forward I feel like something pushes me back as I am thrown backwards onto the wall.
Once I hit the floor, I wince in pain as the pain goes through all my body but is quick to pass.
“You okay?” Scott asks helping me up as I nod, letting out a quick cough.
There’s something protecting Deaton which doesn’t let anybody inside the circle. A circle of mountain ash.
*
For the second time, Scott tries again to penetrate the force field. Pushing with all his strength against it, filling the room with blue glow.
He pushes harder and harder. With a blink of an eye, Scott is thrown to the floor.
“You okay?” I ask as he nods groaning.
I hear footsteps, I look back to find Sheriff Stilinski with gun in hand as he shoots towards the rope, and just like that, Deaton falls to the ground.
*
The sheriff explained to us how he figured out where Deaton was. Apparently it was because of one of the Celtic Symbols on one of the vials at the vet clinic. Smart.
“Sheriff, thank you for being one hell of a Detective.” I say as I smile at the kind man.
“I’m gonna get the ambulance outside.” Sheriff says before walking away leaving just me, Scott and Deaton.
“Your eyes were red. Bright red.” Deaton says towards Scott. I look at both of them confused.
“How is that possible? And what does it mean?” I ask.
“It’s rare. It’s something that doesn’t happen within 100 years, but every once in a while a beta can become an Alpha without having to steal or take that power.” Deaton says smiling proudly at my best friend. “They call it a true alpha. It’s one who rises purely on the strength of the character, by virtue, by sheer force of will.” Deaton says as the smile remains on his face.
“You knew this would happen?” Scott asks.
“I believed. From the moment I knew you were bitten, I believed.” Deaton says.
“You’re not the only one.” I say.
“No, Deucalion isn’t after Derek.” Deaton says.
“He’s after you.” I finish.
