The Vampire of Beacon-Hills [ENGLISH VERSION]

S3b : Chapter Thirty-seven

ELENA'S POV :

I follow Stiles to the chemistry room where he opens the door reserved for teachers.

"Oh close it, please" I beg him. "It smells like chemicals, it's disgusting." I cough and move away slightly to avoid my overdeveloped sense of smell being too assaulted.

"Sorry. But that's the problem," Stiles insists. "They would never have been able to detect his scent."

"Yeah, that makes sense. Do you see anything else ?"

"It would be easier if you helped me."

I huff and pull my jacket up over my nose to dull my perception of the products. I enter the room and scan it before stopping on something on the floor.
"There are staples."

My boyfriend turns around and points the flashlight on his phone at the spot I'm pointing out. "And blood," he adds.

"So he was definitely there. Lydia was right."

"Now we just have to find out who Barrow was planning to kill." We exit the warehouse and he finally closes that door. "Try to find... I don't know... a clue."

He searches all the students' drawers and desks while I take care of the teacher's. As I turn around, the writing on the board catches my eye.

"What are these numbers ?" Stiles asks me.

"Atomic numbers."

"What is it ? A formula ?"

"No, I don't think so. It looks more like..." I stop, thinking, my eyes still fixed on the board.

"It looks more like what," insists my boyfriend.

I get a piece of chalk and write down the lettered notations of the atomic numbers. "19 is potassium, so 'K'. 53 is iodine, so 'I'. And 88, the radiome..."

"And how do you write it ?"

" 'Ra'," I answer.

We look at the board, now indicating the person Barrow wanted to kill. Kira.

My phone rings, signaling a call that I take.
"Lydia ?"

"Elena ? I feel like I'm going crazy," she exclaims. "I swear, this is horrible. I-"

"Ok Lydia, relax and explain to me calmly."

"The noises of flies. It started again. I know I messed up the first time but-"

"You were right. We went back to school with Stiles. Barrow was there," I tell her. "You were right. He was planning on going after Kira."

"So if what you told me is true and the Banshees are announcing death. I think she's really in danger."

I look at Stiles who was also listening to the conversation. "Scott was supposed to have dinner at her place. I send him a message."

I nod before say it to my friend. "We'll meet up there."
