• Chapter 7 •
I make my way to music which I have with Lydia and Danny.
I get inside the classroom and look at the front of the same to see that the teacher had not arrived yet.
I take a seat next to Lydia who was drawing a tree.
“Nice drawing.” I say sitting down next to the strawberry blonde haired girl. She gives me a smile before going back to her drawing.
“Wow, that’s like really good.” I hear someone say, I look back to see Danny looking at the drawing of Lydia. I smile at him as he smiles back.
“I know, right?” Lydia says showing extreme confidence.
“You should be in Art class.” He says making me nod.
“Maybe.” The girl says.
“Since you’re not in music.” Danny says sarcastically.
He goes back to his seat while we wait longer for the teacher.
“15 MINUTES!” Someone shouts.
“What? What’s that?” Lydia asks me.
“uh – it’s the 15 minute rule. The teacher didn’t show.” I say standing up and putting my bag on.
Lydia stands up and walks towards the piano, seeing a phone on the top of it. I look around to see that we are the only people left in the classroom.
“Uh – Lydia want to go-” I say but I am interrupted by the same girl.
“Wait.” She says, placing a finger in the phone. I walk closer to her to see what was happening. I look at the phone and see an editing software she brings the audio all the way back and starts playing.
‘Recording Audio, Part three.’ The audio said which was the voice of our music teacher, after that the piano sound started to play.
I hear the audio and look at the phone to see the sound waves, there is a part on the sound waves that it goes up randomly and then the sound waves just stops.
“What’s that? Lydia speed up.” I say getting closer to the phone.
She pushes the audio further to where the sound fails and we hear an awful sound of piano, as if someone just randomly put their fingers all over the piano board.
After that, the sound just goes out, Lydia however closer to the phone to hear better and puts her ears closer to hear better. Her face starts to show worry.
“Lydia?” I ask.
“He was taken.” She says. “They took him.”

“Hey, I can’t talk right now.” Stiles says through the phone.
“Our music teacher was taken, Stiles.” I say quickly.
“Wait, what?” he asks.
“Our music teacher went missing, Lydia had her banshee powers and she is certain that our music teacher is missing.” I say through the phone.
“Yeah – are you sure he went missing?” Stiles says.
“Not just missing – taken.” I say.”

Deaton and Stiles are now here with us trying to get any information that would help us.
“Can we get a copy of this?” Deaton asks, Lydia nods and picks up the phone who must be our music teacher’s phone and starts to work her ‘magic’.
“How did she find it?” Stiles asks me.
“I think she had the feeling. She was looking straight at the piano where the phone was.” I say.
“Hey doc, any help would be, you know, helpful.” Stiles says while still trying to find something.
“Each grouping of three would have its own type of power. Virgins, healers, philosophers, warriors-” Deaton is interrupted by the love of my life. Oops. Stiles Stilinski.
“wait, wait, wait, wait. Warrior, could that also be like a soldier?” Stiles asks.
“Absolutely.” Deaton says.
Stiles looks at me and I remember that Boyd was in the R.O.T.C along with the guy, Kyle.
“Kyle was in R.O.T.C with Boyd. That’s got to be it. That’s the pattern.” Stiles says as if he was reading my mind.
“Where’s Boyd?” Deaton asks.
“Probably at home by now.” I say.
“I’m gonna try to get him on the phone.” Stiles says digging onto his pockets.
“Lydia is something wrong?” Deaton asks a shocked looking Lydia.
“No, it was- I mean – I just thought of someone else with a military connection.” She says.
“Who?” Deaton asks.
“Mr. Harris. He has a honor code in his desk, always.”
•
We are now in Mr. Harris’ classroom which is also empty.
I look through the papers. Which have a different letter, some of these are not even grades.
“Some of these letters are not even grades.” I say picking up one with an ‘R’. “This one has an ‘R’.” I say out loud.
“This one has an ‘H’.” Lydia says.
Deaton starts to put all the papers in order according to the letters.
He stops once he has all of the letters in order that he wants.
“Stiles, you remember I told you ‘druid’ is the Gaelic word for ‘wise oak?” Deaton asks resting his hands on the table.
“Yeah.” Stiles says nodding.
“If a druid went down the wrong path, the wise oak was sometimes said to have become a dark oak. There’s a Gaelic word for that as well- Darach.” Deaton says which makes sense now since the letters add up to Darach.

I get home along with Stiles after a huge day full of discoveries.
“I’m going to call my dad.” I tell Stiles which nods before walking to the kitchen and to the fridge to get food for us.
I walk up and walk inside the guest room, which is where I am currently staying at, I close the door behind me before digging my pocket and bring out my iPhone 5c Green. Disgusting colour but it was a present so…
I unlock my phone and search for my father’s contact. I hit dial.
I put my phone against my ear and await for his response.
“Hello?” I hear from the other side of the call.
“Hey – Dad.” I say smiling onto the phone.
“Oh – Kendall, how are you, son?” He asks. You have no idea how happy and relief I have by hearing that voice.
“I am – great – yeah how are you, dad?” I ask.
“I’m great. Candice is great, she’s sending you kisses right now.” He says and I chuckle.
“Send her my kisses to her too.” I say.
“Will do, son.” He says. “How are things there in Beacon hills?” He asks.
“Great – Yeah – I am great.” I say obviously not telling about the supernatural issues that were going on right now.
“Good – you know if something is going on, you can always come back or call me – I’ll be here to get a smile on your face.” He says making me smile instantly. He has such a way with words.
“Thanks dad, I just wanted to make sure that you guys were okay.” I say.
“Yeah – it’s hard to survive without a certain teenage boy running around depressed out of his life with Cassandra.” He says making me laugh instantly.
“Yeah – totally.” I say.
“Are you happy?” He asks an unexpected question.
I take a moment before answering.
“Yeah – I – I am.” I say with a smile on my face.
“Then I am happy.” He says.
“Thanks dad. I’ll talk to you later.” I say.
“Talk to you later, son. Love you.” He says.
“Love you.” I say before ending the call.
Sometimes I really miss being with my father, it’s definitely a hard transition from being with him and being alone. But again, I am not alone. I have Stiles and Scott and all my other friends, along with Mr Stilinski. Which all have become my second family.
I don’t feel as alone.
I hear a knock on the door.
“Yes?” I ask loudly before Stiles gets in with a box of pizza.
“Hey.” He says already taking a bite of the pizza. “I got the pepperoni for you.” He says.
“Thanks.” I say.
“Tomorrow we got the trip.” He says.
“Oh yeah – I totally forgot.” I say smiling while opening the pizza box and taking a piece before bringing it to my mouth.
“You okay?” He asks and I nod.
“Are you?” I ask.
“Could be better. Without all these sacrifices.” He says.
“True – and I slightly miss my father and Candice and – Cassandra.” I say taking another bite to my pepperoni pizza.
“I bet – I can’t imagine being without my father next to me.” He says. “You’re really strong, Dayton and – brave.” He says.
“Thanks Stilinski.” I say.
“No problemo, Barnett.” He says. “Why don’t we go watch a Harry potter movie?” He asks and I nod.
I definitely need a movie night.
“Last one downstairs is a slow poke.” He says before running out the door with his pizza box. I smile before going after him.
“Wanker, that’s not fair!” I say running after him downstairs. He quickly jumps to the couch.
“Haha! I won.” He says laughing in my face.
“Wanker, you could’ve gave me a heads up.” I say sitting down next to him.
“Too bad, I didn’t.” He says.
He starts up the movie as we eat the rest of the pizza. Stiles ended up stealing some from mine.

Third person view
Stiles and Dayton were intensely watching the movie, however sometimes they glanced at each other without the other noticing, they were really close yet they didn’t notice.
They had a connection which they had both yet to discover, yet, Mr. Stilinski had already discovered.
He walks inside his home at 01:00 in the morning to find the movie stopped on the TV. He looks at the couch to see his son and Dayton cuddling asleep.
He lets out a knowingly smile before covering both boys with a comfy towel and walking upstairs to his bed exhausted after a long day at work, yet confused due to all this people going missing and all the deaths.
