Chapter Twenty-One ⊚ The Girl Who Knew Too Much ⊚
Ms. Blake walks the aisle between desks as she lectures. "Idioms, analogies, metaphors and similes. All tools for the writer to tell their story." She explained, not paying attention to all the bored expressions on her students faces.
She pauses next to Lydia's desk, noticing Lydia's drawing a picture of a leafless tree in her notebook. "Lydia, I wasn't aware you had so many hidden talents." Ms. Blake complemented making Lydia hum. "You and every guy I've ever dated." Lydia said making Ms. Blake look taken back. "And that was an idiom by the way." She said and unimpressed, Lydia goes back to drawing.
"Idioms are something of a secret to the people who know the language or culture." She said walking back up to the front, "They're phrases that only make sense if you know key words. Saying 'jump the gun' is meaningful only if you know about the starting gun in a race. Or a phrase like 'seeing the whole board'."
"Like chess." Stiles muttered making Ms. Blake look at him with a smile, "That's right, Stiles. Do you play?" She asked and he shook his head, "Uh, no. My father does."
"Now when does an idiom become a cliché?" As hands go up in the classroom, Scott leans over to whisper to Stiles. "I think I can get to Ethan. I'm pretty sure I can make him talk." Scott said making Stiles look at him confused, "What do you want to do that for?" He asked.
"The Emissaries are Druids, right?" He asked and Stiles nodded "So what if the Darach was an Emissary to the Alphas?" He said. "First of all, I can't believe we've gotten to the point where a sentence like "what if the Darach was an Emissary to the Alphas" actually makes sense to me. Second, there's a huge problem with getting to Ethan." Stiles said. "What's that?" Scott asked.
"Going through Aiden." Stiles answered and Scott nodded, "Since he's been back in school they're always together. How are we supposed to separate them again?" Stiles says and Scott thinks for a moment. Then the two of them turn to look at Lydia sitting behind them. She glances up from her drawing, sighing.
"What now?"

While other students drift through the hall below, Scott, Stiles, Ethan and Fallon stood around Fallon's desk. Scott stood in front of Ethan while Fallon stood in front of Ethan while Stiles leaned against the board with slightly angry face. "You want to know about Emissaries?" Ethan asked looking at Scott weird, "We want to know about your Emissaries." Scott said.
"Why are you even talking to me? I helped kill your friend. How do you know I'm not going to kill another one?" Ethan said glancing over at Stiles, who noticed and stood up glaring at Ethan.
"Is he looking at me? You threatening me? You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to break off an extra large branch of mountain ash, wrap it in wolfsbane, roll it in mistletoe and shove it right up your freaking-" Stiles threatened as he walked forward making Fallon grab his shoulder and pull him back a bit.
