Battle scars

27

I got to school and I put my bike to where I'd normally put it and I went to where they were doing the recital.

I saw Isaac standing with Allison and Chris. I ran over to them. "Isaac! I think I know who the Darach is!" I said.

"Who?!" He asked.

"Jennifer Blake!" I said. Then we heard a piecing scream that could be heard miles away!! It was Lydia.

We ran out of the room. "Isaac" I said.
He stopped and looked at me. "Yea" he said.

"I just thought we've never been on a date" I said giving Isaac a look.

"Yeah and I owe you one but right now we need to find Lydia!" Isaac said and he ran off.

"Right!" I sighed and I ran after them. Then we soon found Scott, stiles and Lydia outside of the school. Stiles looked a bit down.

"What happened?!" I asked as I caught my breath.

"She took my dad!" Stiles stuttered.

"And she tried to strangle me then she called me a banshee!" Lydia said. Makes sense why Lydia was a bit weird sometimes.

Stiles held what looked like a badge but it was very deformed and squished. Then I realised that it was his dads badge.

"What Jennifer?" Chris asked.

Stiles nodded 'yes'. He kept tight hold of that badge. "Stiles we're going to find your dad!" Scott said.

"Don't worry stiles" I said, I turned around to face Isaac.

"So when we're you planning this date?" I asked him as I wrapped my hands around his neck.

"Ummm... tomorrow we can go to the movies?" He said as he wrapped his arms around me.

"Okay if we... hey you two lovebirds over there wanna help find my dad?!" Stiles shouted over to us.

I moved away and went to the others. "Guys one question didn't the Celtic druids gather around a tree?" I asked them.

"Yeah they call it the Nemeton" Lydia said

"Why would she take him to the nemeton?" Allison asked.

"Well wasn't Jennifer Blake a Celtic Druid?" Scott asked.

"Yeah she was kali's" I replied to Scott answer.

"But we don't know where the nemeton is!" Isaac said.

"Then we go to someone who does" stiles said

"And tell him about Jennifer" Scott said and we went to Derek's loft and we told him about Jennifer.

"Derek? Derek, where are you?" Jennifer said all innocently as the ran into the loft. We hid in plain sight.

"Right here." Derek said

"Thank God. Something happened at the recital. At the school. Okay, I need to tell you before you hear it, before you hear any of it from them." Jennifer explained. I listened to her heart beat and I was uneven beats then it steadied.

"From who?" Derek asked. Acting as if he didn't know.

"Elena,Scott, Stiles. They're gonna tell you things. Things you can't believe. You have to trust me, okay? You trust me." Jennifer stuttered.

"What is it?" Derek asked.

"Promise you'll listen to me." Jennifer said. I am sick of waiting. I went to go get her but Scott held me back.

"They're already here, aren't they?"Jennifer said, "So... they told you it was me? That I'm the one taking people?"

"We told him you're the one killing people."Scott said as we walked out of our hiding space.

"Oh, that's right. Committing human sacrifices? What, cutting their throats? Yeah, I probably do it on my lunch hour. That way, I can get back to teaching high school English the rest of the day. That makes perfect sense." Jennifer explained. I listened to her heart beat and she just told us the truth.

"Where's my dad?" Stiles asked

"How should I know? Derek, tell me you don't believe this." She said as she looked at stiles then back at Derek again.

"Do you know what happened to Stiles's father?" Derek asked. Jennifer tried to hug Derek but he pushed her back.

"No." She spat

"Ask her why she almost killed Lydia." Scott said

"Lydia Martin? I don't know anything about that." Jennifer stuttered

"What do you know?" Derek asked in a serious tone.

"I know that these boys, for whatever misguided reason, are filling your head with an absurd story. And one they can't prove, by the way." Jennifer said trying to sound innocent.

"What if we can?!" I said. As scott held up a glass tub of mistletoe.

"What is that?" Jennifer spat

"My boss told me it's a poison and a cure... which means you can use it... and it can be used against you." Scott said, he opened the lid and threw the powdered mistletoe at Jennifer.

"Mistletoe?!" Jennifer whispered then the mistletoe surrounded her showing who she really was and then it disappeared and she looked like how we wanted us to see her.

Then Derek gave me the sign and I ran up to Jennifer and I started digging my claws into her neck. "wait, wait! You need me."Jennifer said as she tried to breathe.

"What are you?!" Derek asked

"The only person who can save your sister. Call Peter. Call him!" Jennifer tried to yell. Then Derek got his phone and called Peter.

"Her life... it's in my hands!" She said.

"Elena stop!if she can save my sister stop!" Derek said in a commanding voice. I removed my claw from her neck and gave her a dirty look.

But she just smirked at me. Then we went to the hospital.
