For the past two days, I kept myself scarce from the Alpha Pack. Scott informed me that Ethan told him that since Derek and I had killed Ennis, we had to join the pack. I refused to believe I killed him. If they took Ennis to heal, why would he die after? I was on Stiles' chair looking at my claws. Ever since I went to my husk of a house to heal from my injuries, I have felt different. I don't know what it is, but I'll wait it out to see the truth. What saved me that day? I lost a lot of blood from the fight and the fall. The heat was overwhelming as I came to. What could it have been?
" Hey, we got to go to the hospital!" Stiles says drawing me out of my thoughts. I got up and was worried.
"Another person has been taken." He replied as I nodded. I grabbed my jacket and followed. The hospital was a buzz of people and the smell of blood was startling.
" Why does this happen to our fucking town?" I said as I pinched the bridge of my nose. I stood beside Stiles as Noah, Melissa, Scott, and Stiles chatted about the new missing person.
" Hang on, hang on,,, They were both in the car?" Noah asked aloud. Stiles shook his head.
" No, Dad, they're trying to tell you that it was two separate kidnappings, okay? Two doctors, both gone." Stiles explained before I felt nervous. Something big was happening. Like lines were being built.
" So, whose car is this?" Noah asked pointing at the abandoned car.
" Dr. Hilyard, the on-call doctor. The ER attending is the one that never made it back in." Melissa said as I can feel her nervousness overwhelm her.
" Let me just focus on getting your story first, all right?" Noah said before taking Melissa to the side. Stiles, Scott, and I walk to the side and I look at the moon.
" This is fucking frustrating." I said low and tired.
" These are definitely sacrifices, right?" Scott asked my boyfriend. Stiles nodded as I felt him rub my back. I smiled as I leaned into his shoulder.
" Yeah, it's the one Deaton mentioned- Healers." He says as I perk up. A conversation caught my ears.
" ...They found a body. Another fucking body!" I say as I catch their attention. Scott caught up with us before leaving to go home. I sat on a rock and played with my long red lock of hair that lay on my head.
" You ok?" Stiles asked as I nodded.
" Yeah, stress and all from my healing." I say as he sits next to me.
" All of this maiming and murder not sitting well with any of us." Stiles says as I feel the harsh cold of the air hit me, but I warm up quickly.
" I get to go home and deal with my brother." I say as I rub my eyes. Stiles places a kiss on my forehead and takes me home. I get out of the car but not before taking a few breath-taking kisses on my lips and neck. I walked inside with a hot feeling on my face.
" Are you alive?" Cora's voice asked as I sat on the couch.
" Yeah, I'm alive. People are dying all around us, but I'm alive." I say as I sit up and put my long hair in a messy bun.
" That's good at least. How did you make it out of the bank?" She asked leaning on a pillar.
" Not sure, my wolf connected with me and my instincts kicked in." I say as I get up and look at the moon before looking at her. She looked at me with concern before I turned and walked to my room. I shut the door and lay in bed to let sleep find its way into my head.
I was thrown back into the burnt remains of my house.
" Fuck off." I growled out as I see a fire starting up in the hallway. I tried to escape, but the door shut on me.
" What do you want from me!" I screamed as the fire turned to me and crashed into me. I felt my body burning and the heat was growing hot.
I woke up with a start. I sighed as I got up and showered. As I finish washing my hair, I felt a small burst of emotion wash through my body that made my knee buckle.
" The fuck was that?" I asked before I got out and dried off. I put my hair up in a braid before putting it into a bun. I got dressed in a black tube top with red leather pants. I pulled my combat boots on before heading to grab my bike keys. I saw on the window the Alpha Pack Symbol.
" Fuck." I growled before leaving as I grabbed my bike helmet. I quickly rode off to school and found myself parking beside Stiles' Jeep.
" Hey, you sleep ok?" Stiles asked as I see him get out.
" Weird dreams, but alright." I replied after taking my helmet off.
" I'm just glad you are ok." He says before handing me a coffee cup.
" Thank god! I absolutely love and adore you!" I gasped as I drank it. We went to our English class.
" Good morning! As you all know, Mr. Harris is still missing- I mean sick. Anyway, I'm filling in while we all hope and pray for a more qualified substitute to take my place. Okay, so let's get started, shall we?" Miss. Blake said as she stammered a bit.
" Missing my ass. He's as good as fucking dead." I said as I was next to Stiles.
" Hey, my dad said that the ER attending wasn't strangled but did die from asphyxiation- they just don't know how." Stiles said to both Scott and I.
" That's morbid as fuck." I replied to him.
" Do you think the on-call doctor could still be alive?" Scott asked worried.
" I don't know... But Scott, Raven. there's got to be at least twenty other doctors in that hospital at least, you know? Any one of them could be next. Who knows what that Druid has up its sleeve." Stiles said before Scott's phone buzzed.
" Hey, Doc. Sorry, I'm in class right now- can I call you back later?" Scott asked his boss. I see the horrified look on his face come up.
" Doc. Doc, doc, doc- what's happening?" Scott asked as he continued to try, but I heard the line drop. I watched him leave the class quickly.
" Something big is happening." I told Stiles. He texts his dad about Scott leaving. When class ends, Stiles and I go to the Animal Clinic; where Scott was.
" All right, we're doing everything we can. Right now, the best thing you can do is go back to school." Noah said to Scott, who comes over to Stiles and me.
" We have to tell him." Scott said as I was slightly bewildered. Tell Noah the secret! Fuck!
" You mean, like, tell him? Or, tell him something else that isn't telling him what I think you want to tell him?" Stiles asked Scott.
" You know what I mean." Scott said as Stiles shook his head.
" You remember how your mom reacted? She didn't look you in the eye for, like, a week! What do you think my dad will think? Raven is an Alpha werewolf that might have bullets in her if my dad finds out." Stiles said worried for his dad. I understood his resolve.
" And she got over it! And- and it actually made us closer." Scott said low and quiet.
" I don't know, dude… I'm worried about how he is going to take this." Stiles says as I rubbed his arm.
" I mean, look at him. Come on, he's completely overwhelmed as it is!" Stiles says as I can feel the worry in his scent.
" He's overwhelmed because he has no clue what's happening. He's got people dying in his town- the town that he's supposed to protect- and it's not his fault that he doesn't know what's happening. He's gonna find out sooner or later." Scott said as he made a point.
" Is it the right time Scott, with all the chaos that is going on? All the bloodshed. What if his dad gets caught in the middle of it!" I exclaimed to him.
" What if not telling him now gets someone else killed?" Scott asked us. I feel Stiles slightly shaking.
" What if telling him gets him killed, huh? I mean, okay. Look, I get that Deaton's been like a father to you- I get that, okay? But this is my- Scott, this is my actual father. I can't... I can't lose both of my parents, all right? Not both of them." Stiles says clearly showing his fear and worry to his best friend.
" You're right." Scott sighed as he agreed with us.
" No, I'm not. I'm not right." Stiles says as he looks at both Scott and me; he looked to be contemplating this.
" I'll tell him." He says as I nodded calmly.
" I'll help you Sti, I love you too much for you to worry about this. If I get shot. I'll heal." I told him before kissing him to reassure him. We look to go talk to Stiles' dad, but we see a familiar face.
" Please, whatever you need. However, you can help find my brother." Marin, the guidance counselor said as Noah nodded and walked away.
" Okay, listen closely, all of you- no sheriff, deputy, or detective is going to be able to find him." Marin said as she looked at Scott and then at me.
" You don't have to ask us for help." Scott said to her.
" Actually, I'm trying to help you…" She replied to us.
" Because if you're going to find my brother, then you need to use the one person who might actually have the ability to seek out the supernatural." Maarin says before leaving us.
"...Lydia." Stiles says as I rubbed my head.
" Are we dragging her back into our shenanigans?" I asked them. They both nod and I groan. Stiles and I go to our vehicles and ride back to school to find my best friend.
" This is all kinds of fuckery we can do without but by fucking god we can't catch a fucking break." I said as I got off my bike. Stiles got out of his Jeep.
" Being helpful is a good thing though." Stiles said as we trudged inside to our own annoyance. I inhaled and followed Lydia's scent. She was talking to my sister.
" Sweetheart, my last boyfriend was a homicidal lizard, so I think I can handle a Werewolf." Lydia said before Cora grabbed her wrist. The fuck did I miss?
" Let go. I said-" Lydia said to her.
" Cora. Please let go." I said as I flashed my eyes at her. Cora reluctantly let go. Lydia came over and gave me a hug.
" Sorry about that, Cora can be a bit more forward about things. She means well." I said as Cora just stood there.
" We need your help Lyds." I say as she smiles. We go to an empty classroom. Stiles brings out a spirit board.
" Oh god." I whispered under my breath.
"An ouija board?" Lydia asked as I sat next to her.
" Also called a spirit board. And, it's worth a shot…" Stiles said as he tried to make his idea sound like a good one.
" A shot in the dark. Raven is he serious and all?" She asked me. I gave a thumbs up.
" Could you just try it, please? Deaton's missing and we think you can help." Stiles said as I nodded. Please work.
" Oh, wait. Should we all do this?" Cora asked as she sounded kind of skeptical.
" Yeah. Yeah. Are you guys ready?" Stiles asked as we all put our hands on the plastic disc.
" Where's Dr. Deaton?" I asked as my hand was on the device. Nothing happened.
"...What?" Lydia asked as she looked confused.
" Aren't you gonna answer it?" Stiles asked her. Lydia shrugged.
" Oh, I don't know the answer. I thought we were asking some sort of spirit…" Lydia bluntly said to the three of us.
" Well, do you know any spirits?" Cora asked her. Lydia shook her head and muttered something under her breath as annoyance surrounded her scent. I pulled Deaton's keys out of my bag.
" Okay, these are Deaton's keys for the clinic. Close your eyes, and I'm gonna put 'em in your hand, and then we're just gonna try and see if you can feel out for his location. It's called psychometry." Stiles said as he carefully takes them in his hands.
" I'm not psychic." She says as I see the clear frustration on Stiles' face.
" Red." I say as she smiles at my nickname for her.
" You survived the bite of an Alpha Werewolf. You have the ability to find the bodies of the people who are missing. You have a hell of a fucking scream. You are something important. I trust that you can do wonders." I said as she nodded with confidence.
" I'll try whatever I can." She said as she held her hand out. Stiles plops the keys in her hands and she lets out a gasp.
" They're cold." She said as I nodded. She closed her eyes and tried to concentrate before sighing.
" Nothing." She says as her smile fell.
" We might have something else." I said as I pulled out a paper and pencil.
" Automatic writing?" She asked as I nodded.
" It doesn't have to be. Maybe a drawing?" I asked her. She closes her eyes before opening them and begins to sketch.
" Lydia, what are you doing? What... what the hell is that?" Stiles asked kind of annoyed. I put a hand on his shoulder.
" A tree." She replied as she kept drawing.
" Lydia, you're supposed to be writing words." Stiles says as Lydia stopped and shrugged.
" Well, maybe you should've said that." Lydia replied as my sister groaned.
" Isn't she supposed to be some kind of genius?" Cora asked annoyed.
" Genius? Yes. Psychic? No." Lydia replied before I came over and gave her a hug.
" Honestly, I don't even know why you're bothering me, anyway... I mean, especially since it's obvious you should be talking to Danny." She continued as I perked. Danny? What does he know?
" What? Why Danny?" Stiles asked as I see Scott return to us.
" Because...Last night, he was a target... But he wasn't a sacrifice." Scott says as he was holding his shoulder. I smelt the blood and put a worried look on my face.
" This is all kinds of fucked." I groaned as we left the room. Lydia told us that she would be ok. I hugged her before we left.
" But isn't Danny still in the hospital?" Cora asked blatantly.
" Yeah. That's where we're going right now." Stiles said as I see Scott looking at his phone.
" I'll meet you there." Scott told us. I stopped.
" Why?" Stiles asked as I see Scott show us a text from Allison.
" Go. I got these two." I told him. The three of us left to go to the hospital.
" I'll stay here in case something goes wrong." I told Stiles after he got out of his Jeep.
" Are you sure?" He asked worried. I nodded.
" I'll be ok. I can't be killed easily." I told him. He put my cheeks in his hands before kissing me. I fell into it before he let go and walked inside. I rubbed my lips as the feeling stayed there. I took my hand away and rubbed my palm. I kept a lookout for the twins or Kali.
" Like to see them try to get me or my family." I said low to myself. Night had freshly fallen before I see Stiles running back towards me.
" Come on. Animal Clinic." Stiles barked out. I nodded and we quickly made our way there. We found Cora, Lydia, and Scott there. Stiles and I laid the maps out.
" Okay, so what does this kid's homework have to do with finding Deaton?" Cora asked quickly.
" Because it's not just homework, okay? It's a project on geomagnetic fields. They flow through the earth. They can even be affected by lunar phases, all right?" Stiles explained just as fast with hasted breath.
" Now, look at this- this is a note from Harris on Danny's proposal." Stiles said pointing out the red ink.
" "I strongly advise you to choose another topic. The ideas here, while innovative and thoughtful, border on pseudo-science. Not suitable for class." " Lydia remarked as she stayed calm and collected.
" Harris wasn't just a sacrifice- he knew something." Scott quips.
" Now that is just fucking insane." I said kind of taken aback.
" Allison's dad wasn't the only one with a map, all right? Danny had one, too. Danny marked all the telluric currents, okay? Now, the weird thing about Beacon Hills is that it actually is a beacon- you wouldn't believe how much energy flows through the earth around this town." Stiles points out all the fields.
" Stiles, look. They match!" Scott says as he points between the blue paper and the marked-up maps we brought.
" All right, there are three places, right? Where they're kidnapped, and then the place where their body was found." Scott explains as he circles areas with a pen
" Look, that's right on the telluric current." Lydia said as she was in full agreement.
" So, maybe where he was sacrificed is somewhere in between?" Scott quickly said as thoughts began recalling in my mind. All of this is for what cause?
" Let me see that. You said there are six more bodies to be found. Deaton's one of them. Gotta be somewhere in between, right?" Stiles gasped out as Cora lead the pen to the vault.
" He's in the vault- the same vault." Cora startlingly says as I feel dread filling me. Where was this coming from?
" Guys, hold on." Lydia exclaims as I kept myself up on the table. These feelings all come at me like a tidal wave.
"Lydia, we don't have time." Scott said as I heard Cora's phone go off.
"It's Boyd. The plan didn't work. They cut the power." Cora spoke slowly and was scared.
" Go. I can save Deaton myself." Scott quickly said as I see Stiles step up.
" What? Scott, what about us?" Stiles asked him.
" Cora can't get there fast enough without you. Go. We can save both of them." Scott told us. I snapped back by force and nodded.
" We have to do this. He will be ok." I explained to Stiles. He searched into my eyes and nodded.
" Let's go." He boldly stated before we all went our ways. I quickly got on my bike and rode to the loft.
" We have to hurry. The main board is down." Cora yelled as I got off my bike and pulled the keys out. We quickly ran to the electric board.
" Okay, what do we do?" Stiles asked us as I looked at the levers.
" We pull them. Pull all of them." Cora told us. I pulled them quickly as fast as Cora and Lydia finished pulling the last of them up. The power comes back on and I hear screaming.
" Move." I growled as I let worry fill my body. I let myself shift before quickly running up the stairs. Letting my power flow in my legs as I ran. I didn't see anyone as I ran up. When I made it to the floor. The sight I saw brought me to my knees. The force of it made me become my human self.
" No." I said with solace in my voice. Derek with blood on his hands and Boyd not moving, on the water-flooded floor. The scents of blood, anger, and guilt radiated through the room. I got up as my eyes began to burn their bright ruby red. I walked to my brother with tears falling down my cheeks. Derek looked at me. I broke as I fell to my knees. He was forced to kill his pack mate. I held him tight as I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder. I could smell it was Stiles. All I know was this wasn't going to be the last time blood would be spilled if the Alpha Pack kept running around town.
