From Demigods to Werewolves

Chapter 52: Atlantia

The party was a lot more stressful than I thought it would be compared to what the others were doing. Allison, Lydia and I were going through the crowd of freshmen who literally had no manners and didn't understand Lydia's party etiquette. I think Lydia was stressing out a lot more than I was because this house was on the market and she couldn't have anything be damaged or marked up in any way.

    Eventually, I noticed that Lydia and Allison were gone but I knew someone had to watch these kids so I stayed in the main part of the house to watch them. However, later in the night once all of the freshman were gone, Allison appears looking very worried.

    "You need to see this." She says and I stop the clean up I was doing for Lydia and follow Allison up the stairs. She leads me to this room and I see Kira and Lydia standing over a laptop. Lydia looks at me when I enter the room.

    "We didn't tell you but, I've been drawing this coded list in my notebook during math. I didn't know the code so we couldn't figure out what it said" Lydia begins before she pushes the laptop to face me, "Until now." I look at the screen and see a list of a names with numbers on them. As I read the names, I realize that it was a hitlist of the supernatural creatures in Beacon Hills.

    "It's a deadpool." Lydia says I find my name, "and we're all on it."

    "Congratulations, Atlantia. You are worth the most." Allison smirks as I look at the list. I was literally worth 25 million dollars.

    "Why is the rest of the list hidden?" I ask as I see the list stops shortly after someone named Elias Town who was worth 250,000 dollars.

    "I think we need another code to reveal the rest of the list. Probably two more." Lydia explains.

    "What was the first code?" I say since we may be able to figure out the others from what the first one was.

    "Allison." Lydia says and my head jerks toward Lydia.

    "As in our Allison?" I say.

    "We think so." Allison says slowly, "We don't know why my name was the code but it is not as important as figuring out who put out the hit list."

    "I can protect everyone." I say confidently because I actually knew that I could. It would be draining but I could put invisible shields around everyone until we find out who is the mysterious person that is putting out a hitlist against the supernatural in Beacon Hills, "But Lydia, you are going to have to figure out who else on that list."

    "Why me?" Lydia says with an exhausted tone and I felt her pain.

    "Because you found the list and the first code. The only person who is going to find the next code is you." I say which motivated Lydia enough to look for the code. She ended up spending the entire weekend at the lake house which I felt bad for but she could have taken a break but she knew we needed to find out the rest of the list. People were dying around the town and throughout the county because apparently this could spread throughout the county so we needed to figure it out before the entire population is killed.

    Going to school all week was such a pain. I was so drained because I had shields around Lydia, Scott, Derek, and Kira twenty/four seven which was so exhausting. It came to the point where I had to carry a bottle of nectar in my bag just so I wouldn't collapse in class. I think even Coach began to notice in gym when I didn't do anything extra and usually just played the game before sitting on the side next to Lydia. He seemed actually worried but I told him I was just feeling sick which he accepted.

    Anyway, one night when I was sitting with Derek in his loft, Derek brought up my exhaustiveness for the first time sense it started.

    "You know you don't have to do this right?" Derek says looking at me, "You don't have to run yourself ragged trying to protect everyone. Many of them can protect themselves and I am sure that that they wouldn't care if they didn't have a shield."
