Chapter Five
Dakota is walking around the school campus during free period the next day when she's stopped by Malia and Isaac.
"Hey guys, what's up?" She asked gripping her backpack straps and keeping head low.
"We found something in Tracy's house. We tried to text you but you didn't answer." Malia says
Dakota nods slowly, "Sorry um, I left my phone somewhere so I don't have on me right now."
Meaning she left her phone in Stiles' room and they haven't been talking since last night.
"Oh, okay." Malia replies, "You smell... wrong."
Dakota snorts humorlessly, "Thanks."
Isaac is suddenly blocking her from walking, "Hey, what's up with you? You seem upset."
"She smells sad." Malia says suddenly grabbing her chin and lifting her face, she was keeping her head down because her eyes were as red as Scott's. "Have you been crying?"
Isaac frowns, "Kota, what's wrong?"
She easily slaps Malia's hand away and shakes her head, "I'm fine." She walked in through the school doors and Lydia was soon walking over.
"You said you found something?" Lydia asked
"Oh! Yeah, here." She turns her bag towards Isaac who unzips it and pulls out a small green book and hands it to Lydia who takes it and reads over the cover as they walk through the hall.
"The Dread Doctors by T.R. Mccammon." Lydia reads aloud
Dakota feels her arm being tugged and she looks over and sees Isaac's blue eyes, "We're not done talking about this. You're gonna tell me why you're so upset sooner or later, Kota." He says, gently. "You can talk to me."
Dakota nibbles her lip as she feels her eyes sting again, "I know. I'll tell you, just... later."
Suddenly Lydia stops walking, "What?" Malia asked
"I don't know," Lydia walks again, "There's just something about it. Has anyone actually read it?"
Isaac scoffs, "With that book cover? Nobody would touch that thing."
Malia rolls her eyes, "I read it, Isaac refuses no matter how many times I tell him it might help us figure something out."
"I'm not reading that creepy shit." He replies stubbornly
"See?" Malia says, "But I didn't understand any of it."
"I think we should probably all read it." Lydia says, "That means you, Isaac."
"Over my dead body." The blonde replies earning an elbow to the stomach from Malia making him double over in pain.
"Kira's working on copies for the books right now." Malia says, "Also Stiles says he can find anything on the author. He thinks it's a pen name."
