The Vampire of Beacon-Hills [ENGLISH VERSION]

S3a : Chapter Thirty-one

ELENA'S POV :

The police arrived to recover the body and begin their investigation. He was a police officer, formerly a teacher. Today, a professor disappeared. Tonight is the memorial concert. We think the last of the three philosophers will be killed there. The concert started a while ago and Lydia disappeared.

"Do you guys know where Lydia went," I ask them.

"She was here 2 minutes ago," Scott answers.

"This is not normal."

We rush outside to call her. "LYDIA ! LYDIA !" We shout in unison.

Scott and I use our night vision to try to detect a presence but nothing.

"She's not responding to messages," Stiles says. "What do we do ?"

A horribly loud and high-pitched scream reaches our ears that Stiles doesn't seem to hear. We are forced to cover our ears to lower the sound intensity a little.

"What was that ?"

A scream that powerful, it can only be one thing.

"A Banshee," I whisper. "It's Lydia."

We rush inside the school, to the place where the scream was warning.

I arrive first in the room. Lydia is sitting in a corner of the room while Mr. Stilinski, who was trying to stop the Darach, has a knife planted in his shoulder. I bring out my fangs, ready to attack. It is none other than our literature teacher. I charge at her but find myself thrown backwards, crashing into a desk. I hear Scott arrive and roar as he transforms to attack in turn but he doesn't have much more luck than me and also ends up on the ground. I stand up to counterattack but she sends me back into the scenery and my head hits the ground violently. I hear a crackling sound and have the unbearable urge to sleep for a moment. I shouldn't, but I close my eyes, at least until they heal. If I get up right away, I won't be able to stand up properly and it won't help. I hear noise around me. A distant voice. Stiles' father's. I hear a hoarse cry. The Darach. And a window breaking before I hear a door opening and a small voice calling "Dad ?" A voice near me calls me. Scott's

"Hey Elena."

I'm being shaken slightly and I finally manage to open my eyes.

"You okay ?"

I nod. He helps me up and I see Stiles in front of the broken window while his father has disappeared.

•••

The last three people to be sacrificed have been kidnapped. Mr. Stilinski, Mrs. McCall, and Mr. Argent. We found out from Lydia's drawings that the Darach, Mrs. Blake, takes her victims to the Nemeton to sacrifice them. So we all met at Deaton's to try to find its location.

"How are we going to find this place ?"

"It must be on the axis of two currents or at their intersection," Stiles suggests.
