Chapter 12
It has been a few days since the whole Deaton thing, Lydia found another dead body and it was a deputy that worked with Sheriff Stilinski.
People were getting killed, or as Stiles likes to say, Ritually sacrificed. I don’t know what it is yet, nor do I have an idea. All I know is that whatever or whoever is doing this needs to be stopped.
“Are you going to the recital thingy?” Stiles asks as we walked through the corridors of the school. I nodded and asked him the same question. Going to this event made me feel better, even though going to this event wouldn’t exactly help them come back to life. In fact, nothing can bring them back. That made me slightly sad.
“Aren’t you?” I ask.
“Yeah – of course I am.” He says.
We were silent as we walked towards our first class which was English.
*
“Idioms, analogies, metaphors, and similes, all tools the writer uses to tell their Story.” Jennifer says but stops once she sees the drawing that Lydia was currently working at. “Lydia, I wasn’t aware you had so many hidden talents.”
“You and every guy I’ve ever dated.” Lydia said smirking at our teacher as I grinned at the strawberry blonde.
“Oh – uhm, well, that was an idiom, by the way. Idioms are something of a secret to the people who know the language or the culture. They’re phrases that only make sense if you know the key words. Saying ‘jump the gun’ is meaningful only if you know about the starting gun in a race, or a phrase like ‘seeing the whole board’.” She says and is interrupted by Stiles who mumbled something.
“Like Chess.” Stiles says looking down at his paper.
“That’s right, Stiles. Do you play?” Jennifer says with a kind smile.
“Uh – no. My father does.” Stiles says as my mind goes back to the previous night where Mr Stilinski made me play Chess with him and I lost.
Great memory.
“Now, when does an idiom become a cliché?” Jennifer says walking towards the front of the class to continue with her lessons as people around me already started to put their hands up while I couldn’t be bothered.
I really can’t be asked. Why are we coming to school when there are killers walking around? And we are doing nothing to stop them.
This thought made me really mad. I looked to my side to see Stiles and Scott whispering about talking to Ethan and possible ways to keep Aiden entertained.
“What about Lydia?” I ask them in a whisper while they looked at each other with a smirk before Stiles turns around to look at Lydia.
“What now?” She asks irritated.
*
We were now at the stairs interrogating Ethan while Lydia is entertaining and using her charm to keep Aiden out of our way.
“Why are you even talking to me? I helped kill your friend. How do you know I’m not going to kill another one?” Ethan asked while looking between me and Stiles as I start glaring at him. Try me bitch.
“Is he looking at us? Is he looking at Dayton?” Stiles asks while stepping forward. “You know what I’m going to do? I’m gonna break off an extra-large branch of Mountain ash, wrap it in wolfsbane, roll it in mistletoe, and shove it up your freaking – ” Stiles sexily says while I hold him back making him calm down.
He doesn’t need to get himself killed.
“Okay, we get it.” I say smiling at the sarcastic boy.
“We’re talking to you because I know that you didn’t want to kill Boyd. And I think that if something like that happened now, you wouldn’t do it again.” Scott says.
“You don’t know what we owe them, especially Deucalion. We weren’t like Kali and Ennis when we met him. We weren’t alphas.” Ethan says while crossing his arms.
“What were you?” Scott asks.
“Omegas.” Ethan says. I was once an Omega to until I came back here. Now I belong to a pack. Scott’s pack.
*
“They were killers. I mean, people talk us as monsters. Well, they were the ones who gave us the reputation. And our Alpha was the worst of them.” Ethan continued.
“Why didn’t you guys just fight back?” I asked the twin.
“We couldn’t, we didn’t know how to control it back then.” Ethan said.
“Deucalion taught you.” Scott says. Deucalion is the leader of the Alpha pack. He’s evil and I know it. Gosh, I think everyone knows it at this point.
“And then, we fought. We took down the whole pack, one-by-one. And by the time we got to our alpha, he was begging for his life. And we tore him apart.” Dark.
“What about your emissary? They’re all dead? Kali and Ennis’ too?” Scott asks.
“All of them except for Deucalion’s.” The twin said. Making me think about who it could be.
“You mean Morrell?” Stiles asked answering the question I had in my head. While Ethan nodded at the boy before he started grunting as if he was in pain.
“What?” I asked.
“What’s wrong?” Scott asked. “Are you hurt?”
“Not me. My brother.” Ethan asked as we starter running looking after them.
*
We walked inside the changing rooms and Cora was fighting with Aiden while Lydia demanded Aiden to stop.
“Cora Stop!” I shouted running towards her and pulling her apart, while Scott pulled Aiden apart. “What are you doing?” I asked the brunette.
“Leave me alone!” She asked while fighting against my grip, while doing so, scratching me in my arm.
I grunted in pain.
“What the hell?” I asked the Hale. “Psycho!” I shouted.
“Okay that’s enough.” Stiles said helping me up while taking a look at my scratch. “You’re gonna be okay.” He says as I was already starting to heal.
Cora really went down in my consideration.
Cora was on the floor breathing heavily.
“Hey guys, I think she’s pretty hurt.” Stiles says getting closer to the brunette.
*
“You okay?” Stiles asks as Cora was already standing by herself.
“She doesn’t look okay.” Lydia says from next to me.
“I said I’m fine.” Cora said.
“It’s not time to play tough right now, okay?” I ask since it is the Hale’s obsession to act tough.
“I’m fine.” She says raising her voice. She better chill otherwise we are both gonna be shouting in a minute.
“Do you realise how suicidally crazy that was? What were you thinking going after them?” Stiles asks.
“I did it for Boyd.” She says. “None of you were doing anything.” She said.
“Hey, we’re trying okay?” Scott says.
“And you’re failing. You’re just a bunch of stupid teenagers running around, thinking that you can stop people from getting killed. But all you do is show up late. All you do is find the bodies.” The brunette said angrily before walking out of the room.
Hate to admit it, but she’s totally right.
“She’s definitely a Hale.” Stiles says while I nod. “I’ll make sure she gets home.” Stiles says.
*
“I don’t get why no one’s calling the police?” Lydia asks. I look up to see Lydia being interrogated by Jennifer. I fight through the crowd of people at the door to see what’s going on with my friend.
“What’s wrong, Lydia?” I ask.
“Someone was kidnapped – or taken already.” Lydia says looking at me like she was already crying while I give her a hug.
“They’re gonna make an announcement over the P.A.” Our teacher said while she asked me to have a word.
She walked me to the corner of the room.
“Lydia – she’s having this – weird stuff happening to her. She’s showing signs of a psychopath and – a crazy person.” Jennifer says while I look at her like she’s crazy.
“She’s not crazy – she knows something.” I said.
“Well – all I’m saying is for you to keep an eye on your friend.” She said and I nodded just to get her to drop it.
I trust Lydia.
We both walked back to Lydia as she was explaining stuff to Aiden.
“And the last time that happened was Mr Harris. Anyone heard from him lately? He’s gone.” Lydia said and I nod. She has a point.
“But Lydia you wrote those numbers.” Jennifer said while crossing her arms.
“Okay, fine. I’m psychic.” Lydia said trying to get someone to understand.
“You’re psychic?” Jennifer said with a chuckle.
“I’m something!” The strawberry said irritated.
*
It was time for the event, the recital. I felt good about going, I felt as if some of the guilt was taken away, but that thought made me think that they were still dead.
The people, including Danny started playing their instruments.
Lydia touched my arm getting my attention.
She showed me her phone which had an emergency message asking me and her to go meet with Aiden.
“This better be important.” I said before we both walked out and walked towards the school to meet with the twin.
We walked inside.
“Are you sure it’s him?” I ask with my phone in my hand with the flashlight turned on.
“Yeah – it’s from him phone number.” She said rolling her eyes.
“I believe you, about earlier.” I said.
“I know you did.” She said.
“We better go back. I have a bad feeling about this.” I said stopping in my tracks.
“Really, I’m supposed to be the psychic one here.” She said dragging me along with her down the corridor towards the English room.
“You’re a psychic.” I asked.
“I don’t – I’m something.” She said before we walked inside the room which was empty.
“There’s no one –” I said before someone pushes me towards the wall everything went black.
Stiles P.O.V
“Dayton!” I shouted as I walk through the doors to the outside.
“Lydia!” Scott shouts.
We were both looking for Lydia and Dayton who disappeared in the Recital which is odd especially for them.
“Anything?” I ask Scott. “Their’ not answering their phones. What do we do?” I ask becoming desperate as the thought of Dayton being another sacrifice crossed my mind making me anxious and scared.
That can’t happen. Not to them.
*
I run towards the room and see Lydia and Dayton tied to chairs as Dayton is with his head down. Please don’t be dead, please don’t be dead.
I try to open the door but something is pushed against it. I look to see Jennifer with an evil smile looking at me. I knew she was not to be trusted.
I pushed against the door with all the power I had.
I heard all the fighting coming from inside, I look inside to see my dad and that made me even more scared. She is dangerous and I can’t have him inside there alone defenceless with a serial supernatural killer.
I am able to open the door. I run towards the broken window.
“Dad?” I ask as tears threaten to fall. Oh no. Not my dad.
I thought as my heart sank.
