Selene POV: They raced out of the locker room grabbed Lydia and went straight into Ms. Morrell's office.
"Are you here for Ms. Morrell?" Stiles asked the girl waiting.
"No I thought this was gym class" the girl said.
"Sweetheart we're not in the mood for funny. Do you know where she is?" Lydia asked.
"If I did I wouldn't be waiting here for 20 minutes. So how about you three back out the door and wait your turn?" the girl said.
"We're not here for a session" Lydia replied.
"Well I am. And I've got some serious issues to work on."
"Hey wait wait. You're Danielle. You're Heather's best friend" Stiles said.
Selene couldn't help the small snarl that came out at the mention of the girl's name. Even though the girl was dead and Selene and Stiles were together again Selene still didn't like the girl.
"I was Heather's best friend. We've been working on that issue three times a week" Danielle said.
"Hold on did you say Ms. Morrell's 20 minutes late?" Lydia asked.
"And I don't know why either. She's always on time" Danielle said.
"I was seeing her at the beginning of the semester. She was never late" Lydia told them.
"Then she's not late she's missing" Stiles said.
"What if we're not the only ones who thinks she knows something?" Lydia asked.
"Then I wanna know what she knows" Stiles said as he started to go through files.
"What are you doing?" Danielle asked.
"Trying to find her" Stiles replied.
"Those files are private" Danielle told him.
"Yeah she's kind of right" Lydia said not helping.
"That one's yours" Stiles said pulling out Lydia's file.
"Let me see that" Lydia took it from him and opened it.
"Wait Lydia that's your drawing" Stiles said looking up.
"Yeah I know. It's a tree" Lydia said.
"Yeah good too" Danielle told her.
"Thank you."
"No but that's the same one though" Stiles said.
"Same as what?" Lydia asked.
"The same one I always see you drawing in class."
"It's a tree. I like drawing trees" Lydia said not getting it.
"No but it's the exact same one. Don't you see? Give me your bag. There see?" Stiles asked showing her all her drawings were the same thing.
"Okay you can have my session. You got bigger issues" Danielle said then she left.
"What is this?" Lydia asked freaking out.
Suddenly Stiles slowly turned the picture upside down.
"I know where they are" he said.
"Banshee" Selene said looking at Lydia then the drawing.
"Just think if you knew how to control it you could give more answers than a drawing."
Stiles POV: "It's called the Nemeton. That's where she's keeping them. It has to be…"
They walked out of the office as he talked.
"Stilinski!" Agent McCall called out.
"Ah all right look go to Derek okay? He and Peter they've been there before so they'll know where it is. Tell them it's the root cellar all right? They'll know" Stiles told Lydia.
"You I NEED with me" he looked desperately at Selene who nodded.
"Did you know your dad's car is in the school parking lot and has been since last night?" Agent McCall asked.
"No what does that mean?" Stiles asked.
"It means he's officially missing."
Then he took Stiles into a classroom.
"Miss will you please wait out here."
"Where I go she goes no exceptions" Stiles said.
Selene smiled as she walked passed Agent McCall into the classroom.
"What he said."
"Stiles why am I getting the feeling you know something that could help us find your dad?" McCall asked.
"If I did why would I not tell you?"
"If it meant helping your dad why wouldn't you?"
"So you're asking me to tell you something what I wouldn't not tell you?" Stiles asked.
"First I have no idea what you just said. Second how about you just help me help you?"
"Well I don't know how to help you help me tell you something that would help you if I don't know it."
"Are you doing this on purpose?"
"I don't know anything okay? Can I just go?"
"Where are your other friends?"
"You mean Scott?" Stiles asked angrily.
"I mean Scott. I mean Isaac Lahey, Allison Argent these twins Ethan and Aiden. I've been told your whole little clique didn't show up at school today" McCall read names off his list.
"I don't have a clique."
"It's more like a pack" Selene grinned showing teeth.
"Stiles come on. There's been a pretty disturbing amount of violent activity in this county in the last few months several murders tied to this school. I don't know what's going on here but it's serious. And… hey your dad is missing... Fine. But I don't want your going home alone. You have someone… someone else you can stay with tonight?" McCall asked.
"He's with me" Deaton said from the doorway.
Isaac and Allison met up with Stiles and Selene at the animal clinic and Lydia came too.
"It has to be on a telluric current. Or maybe even at the axis of two or where they all intersect. I just know it's where Derek took Paige to die" Stiles explained.
"My dad and Gerard were there once. But Gerard said it was years ago and he couldn't remember where it was. And my dad obviously isn't here to tell us now" Allison said.
"Yeah mine either" Stiles replied.
"Then how do we find this place? Selene?" Isaac asked.
"No idea the Nemeton is like its own living entity if it doesn't want to be found I'm not all together sure I could find it."
"There might be a way. But it's dangerous. We're gonna need Scott" Deaton said.
Stiles Selene and Deaton drove out to the woods to meet Scott night had fallen.
"How'd you guys find out?" Scott asked.
"Lydia. You?" Stiles asked.
"Morrell. None of the other Alphas know where it is either" Scott said.
"So if this works are you going to tell them?" Stiles asked.
"I can't stop Jennifer without them" Scott replied.
"How about we concentrate on finding your parents first" Deaton said.
"What's the plan?" Scott asked.
"Essentially you, Allison, and Stiles need to be surrogate sacrifices for your parents" Deaton explained.
"We die for them?" Scott asked a little freaked.
"But he can bring us back. You can… you can bring us back right?" Stiles asked.
"You remember the part where I said this was dangerous? If it goes right the three of you will be dead for a few seconds but there's something else you need to think about. This is a dangerous thing for more reason than one. You'll be giving power back to the Nemeton a place that hasn't had power for a long time. This kind of power is like a magnet. It attracts the supernatural the kinds of things that a family like the Argents can fill the pages of a bestiary with. It will draw them here like a beacon" Deaton warned.
"Doesn't sound any worse than anything we've already seen" Stiles said.
"You'd be surprised at what you have yet to see" Deaton said.
"Is that it?" Scott asked.
"No it'll have an effect on the three of you. You won't be able to see it but you'll feel it every day for the rest of your lives. It'll be a kind of darkness around your heart and permanent like a scar" Deaton told them.
"Like a tattoo" Scott said.
They made their way slowly back to the animal clinic after grabbing something of their parents to anchor to.
"All right what did you bring?" Deaton asked.
"Um I got my dad's badge. Jennifer kind of crushed it in her hand. So I tried to hammer it out a bit. Still doesn't look great" Stiles said.
"It doesn't need to look good if it has meaning" Deaton said.
"Is that an actual silver bullet? Isaac asked Allison.
"My dad made it. It's kind of a ceremonial thing. When one of us finishes learning all the skills to be a hunter we forge a silver bullet as a testament to the code" she answered.
"Scott?" Deaton asked.
"My dad got my mom this watch when she first got hired at the hospital. She used to say it was the only thing in their marriage that ever worked" Scott said.
Looking at the tubs of ice water and herbs Deaton spoke.
"Okay the three of you will get in. Each of us will hold you down until you're essentially… well dead. But it's not just someone to hold you under. It needs to be someone who can pull you back someone that has strong connection to you kind of emotional tether" Deaton explained.
Slowly they stepped up to the tubs and got in.
"By the way if I don't make it back and you do you should probably know something. Your dad's in town" Stiles told Scott.
"You'll never go beyond my reach I'll always keep you safe and pull you back" Selene said softly in Stiles' ear.
With that she pushed him under the water.
