Keep Your Head Up (3rd book in Fatal Attraction)

Stay Close

Emilie's POV
Isabelle broke Stiles and I into the school and I called Scott. "Get your ass down here now. We have a job to do." I said. "Millie, I'm already in bed. And aren't we getting a little old for this?" Scott said. "We do this for Coach." I said. "I thought we did this to Coach." Scott said. "Whatever, okay? You know he needs this. He lives for this stuff. He loves it." I said. "But it's the middle of the night." Scott daid. "12:15 actually. Which means it's after midnight and officially Mischief Night/Day, and, by perfectly awesome coincidence, it's also happens to be Coach's birthday. So if you are not down here in five seconds, I will destroy you. Okay? And I mean five, four, three, two." I said and Stiles screamed and I saw Scott's red eyes. "One." Scott said and I laughed at that. "I hate you both." Stiles said I shrugged took the screw driver made it so Coach's chair would collapse after he sat down. "What is Sage doing?" Scott asked. "He's wrapping all of Coach's things in his classroom with aluminum foil." Stiles said. After all finishing we left home to get some sleep. I woke up and got dressed for school today.

We got to school and I hugged Scott and saw the twins. "You're back in school?" I asked them. "No, just to talk." Ethan said. "Oh. That's kind of a change of pace for you guys. Usually, you're just hurting, maiming, and killing." Stiles said. "You need a pack. We need an Alpha." Aiden said. "Yeah. Absolutely not. That's hilarious though." Stiles said. "You came to us for help. We helped." Aiden said. "You beat his face into a bloody pulp. That's not helping. In my opinion, that's actually counter-productive." Sage said. "Why would I say yes?" Scott asked. "We'd add strength. We'd make you more powerful. There's no reason to say no, also Emilie loves adopting werewolves." Aiden said and Isaac glared. "I can think of one. Like the two of you holding Derek's claws while Kali impaled Boyd. In fact, I don't know why we're not impaling them right now." Isaac said. "You want to try?" Aiden said. "No one is impaling anyone." I said and they both nodded. "Sorry, but they don't trust you. And neither do I." Scott said, we left and I looked Isaac. "No more threatening werewolves that can beat up an alpha that will get you killed." I said. "Okay mama." He said. "All right, that's my face! Hey, dude, good decision, buddy. Good Alpha decision." Stiles said. "I hope so." Scott said. "No, you know so." Stiles said. "What are you looking at?" I asked Sage. "Me?" Sage asked and I saw it was Kira. "You. You looking at her?" I asked. "Her? Who her?" Sage asked. "Her her. Kira. You like her?" I said. "No. I mean Yeah, yeah, she's okay. She's new." Sage said. "So, ask her out." Scott said. "Now?" Sage asked. "Yes, now." I said. "Right now?" Sage asked. "Right now. Sage, I don't think you get it yet. You're a right hand beta. You're the second apex predator. Everyone wants you. You're like the hot girl that every guy wants." Stiles said. "The hot girl?" Sage asked. "You are the hottest girl." Stiles said. "What?" Isaac and Scott asked confused. "I'm the hot girl." Sage said. "Yes, you are." I said and dragged my boyfriend and pup to class. We sat in Coach's class and he was paranoid. "Peek-a-boo! That's all you got my writing utensils wrapped in tin foil? That's it? Son of a bitch! Mischief Night, Devil's Night. I don't care what you call it. You little punks are evil. You think it's funny every Halloween my house gets egged? A man's house is supposed to be his castle. Mine's a frickin' omelet. Oh, this? We're gonna do this again? I don't think so." Coach said and broke a gift that sounded breakable. "Bobby that sounded breakable." Conner said and Coach opened it. "Happy Birthday. Love, Greenberg." Coach said. I gave Greenberg a sympathetic look. We saw police and agent McCall walked in and Dad explained everything. "Wait a minute, wait a minute! The William Barrow? The Shrapnel bomb? Spotted nearby?" I asked. "A little closer than nearby, actually." Dad said. "How do we get down to the basement? I need to know where every entrance is. I don't want anybody coming in or out of the school." Agent McCall asked. "Dad, what's really going on here?" Stiles asked. "Barrow went after kids with glowing eyes? He said those exact words?" Isaac asked and I held him ready to kill any man who hurts the pack. "Yeah. And no one knows how he woke up from anesthesia. Just that when they opened him up, they found a tumor full of live flies, which in any other circumstance would be all kinds of awesome." Stiles said after we got everything. "Did you say flies?" Lydia and Grace asked. "Lydia?" Allison asked. "Grace?" Eileen asked. "I had a small vision of flies coming out of body, I didn't think anything of it." Grace said. "All day I have been hearing this sound. It's like This buzzing." Lydia said. "Like the sound of flies?" I asked. "Exactly like the sound of flies." Lydia said. We found Scott and Sage. "Sorry...Hey, dude, where the hell have you been?" Stiles said. "The police are leaving. Why are they leaving?" Lydia and Grace asked. "The police?" Sage asked. "They must have cleared the building and grounds, which means he's not here." I said. "Who? What are you guys...?" Scott asked. "He has to be here. That sound, the buzzing I've been hearing? It's getting louder." Lydia said. "And the vision is becoming clearer." Grace said. "How loud?" Stoked asked. "Dad! Dad!" I yelled. "Yeah?" Dad asked. "You can't leave yet." I said. "We got an eyewitness that puts Barrow by the train station." Dad said. "Let's go, Stilinski." Agent McCall said. "Whoa, whoa. Dad, please just Lydia and Grace say that he's still here." I said. "Did they see him?" Dad asked. "Not exactly. No. Well, not at all actually. But they have a feeling. A supernatural feeling." I said to him. "Grace and Lydia weren't on the chessboard." Dad said. "They are now. "Kanimas?" Dad asked confused. "Um, Banshee and Seer." I said. "Oh, God." Dad said. "I know. I know how it sounds. But basically it means that Lydia can sense when someone's close to death and Grace can see into the future." I said. "Can they sense and see that I'm about to kill you?" Dad asked. "I don't know." I said shrugging. "All right, look, I'm not saying I don't believe, but right now, I'm going with eyewitness over Banshee and Seer. We're leaving a few deputies here. The school's on lockdown till 3:00. Nobody comes in, nobody goes out. Sweetie, that's the best I've got right now. That's the best I can give you, Emmy." Dad said. "You're leaving me here, that is not... that is the worst." I said. After he left I found Stiles, Scott, and Isaac who all grabbed me dragging me. "Upstairs. We gotta go." Stiles said. "So this is how it's gonna be now? We trust them?" Isaac said. "Just because I'm letting them help, doesn't mean I trust them." Scott said. "Yeah, well, I don't trust them either. Or like them. In fact, I hate them and just want them to die." Isaac said. "Little beta if we need help, trust anyone." I said. "I'm scared, Mama." He said. "Just stay close to me." I said hugging him close. "Well, if Barrow's actually here and he's got a plan, you might get what you want." Scott said to the twins. "You got something?" Aiden asked. "Oh, really?" Ethan asked and the fire alarm went off. "Millie go." Scott said. I walked out and saw Coach dragging Stiles and Conner and Isabelle rolling their eyes. "Pulling a fire alarm on Mischief Night is one thing. Doing it when there's a mass murderer spotted nearby is insane! If I was four years younger, I'd punch you." Coach said. "What? Coach, that doesn't make sense." Stiles said. "Oh, well, it does to me!" Coach said. "Why did Stiles pull the fire alarm?" I asked the couple. "Barrow is still in the building, it's understandable why Scott and Isaac made you leave." Conner said. 3:00 came and everyone could leave, Scott went up to me. "Stop trying to keep me away from danger." I said. "Will a date tonight make up for it?" He asked. "Sure." I said kissing his cheek. I went home and was happy I was back home after the nightmares stopped. I was getting ready for our date.

I made sure my hair was in curls and was walking downstairs and saw Stiles and Lydia talking. "What do the different colored strings mean?" Lydia asked confused. "Oh, just different stages of the investigation. So green is solved, yellow is to be determined, blue's just pretty." Stiles said. "What does red mean?" Lydia asked. "Unsolved." Stiles said. "You only have red on the board." Lydia said. "Yes, I'm aware. Thank you." Stiles said. "Stiles if Dad asks where I am, Scott is taking me on a date." I said. "Okay." Stiles said. I heard a knock and saw Scott. "Come on." He said. I got on the bike with him and he drove to a Pizza Hut. "Remember the first time Stiles, Sage, you, and I all went trick or treating." Scott said. "Yeah didn't our Mom's take us to this Pizza Hut?" I asked. "Yeah and I gave you all my Kit Kats and Crunch bars." Scott said. I laughed smiling. We went in and sat down at a booth for two people. We ordered breadsticks, pizza, and pop. We ate laughing and the phone rang. "It's Sage and Stikes." Scott said. "Put it on speaker it's probably important. "Guys don't hang up!" Stiles said. "Weren't planning on it." I said. "Barrow, he took Kira!" Sage yelled. "What?" I asked. "He was after her the whole time." Stiles said. "Okay where are you guys?" I asked. "The school." Stiles said. "Okay we are leaving." I said, Scott paid and we got to the school. "We have to think of something. He's going to kill her." Scott said. "I knew he was there. How did I know that?" Lydia said. "Because you heard the flies, right?" I asked and she nodded. "What do you hear now?" Sage asked. "Nothing. I feel like I can do this. But I don't know what to do. It's like it's on the tip of my tongue, and I don't know how to trigger it. I just I swear to God, it literally makes me want to scream." Lydia said. "Okay, then scream. Lydia, scream." Stiles encouraged and I covered my ears as Lydia screamed. "It's not flies. It's electricity." Lydia said. "Wait a second, Barrow was an electrical engineer. He worked at a power substation." I said. "What substation?" Sage asked. We got to the substation and Scott wanted me to wait. "Do think i didn't bring my taser or bo staf?" I asked showing Scott. "Man I love you." He said and I saw happiness in his eyes. "Okay. Wait here, all right? Just wait for the cops to come." Stiles said to Lydia. "Me? Wait, why?" Lydia asked. "I only got one bat." Stiles said. We got in and I held my bo staf. "Sage! No! Look out!" Kira yelled and I saw Scott, Sage, and Barrow. "Don't She's not She's not the one you want. No Don't. Stop! No!" Scott yelled seeeing Barrow going after Kira.
