I helped Delia get up on her feet and she exhaustedly smiled at me, I guess her illness is making her weak. I still don't understand why she doesn't want her parents to know, I glanced down at her while we walked towards the principal's office. Her face is pale and her hands are shaking bad, she keep squinting her eyes and frowning like the voices didn't stop. Voices, that's kind of creepy.

"You okey?" I asked her worriedly

"Yeah, yeah. Just... I have to sit down" she fall on the floor and kept massaging her head

"If you're not okey we must call an ambulance or something" I feel her hand grip around my hand a little tighter

"No please don't, please please" she literally begged me to not call the ambulance, she fell on the floor sobbing. I kneeled beside her trying to comfort her but as the awkward girl I am I just started to pat her shoulders, I am really bad at comforting people.

"Why not?" I asked her, her whole body started to shake and her hands grabbed her hair

"I don't know what to do! I- I just want to scream" she started to breath faster, I lifted her up and helped her to a bathroom. She leaned against the wall and slowly slides down

"Okey Delia, if you want to scream so badly. Scream" I looked at her eyes and I can see hesitation

"Do it" I encouraged her, a sudden high pitch screamed appeared. I covered my ears from the hurtful scream, it lasted for about ten seconds before it started to quiet down. I glance at Delia and she seemed more relax now

"Feeling better?" I asked her, she nodded. A teacher suddenly barged in the door staring worriedly at us

"Uh... we saw a cockroach" I lied, she sighed in relief and left the bathroom

"How in the hell did you scream so loud?" I asked confused, she stared at me for a minute not saying anything. Still confused I sighed

"Meet me after school, I can explain everything" she said to me, I nodded.

I packed my things and exited the school, I see Delia waiting for me at her dad's car

"Dawn! I didn't know you and Delia became so close" Stiles smiled brightly as us

"Uh... yeah" I answered him and gave him a quick smile, I jumped in and closed the door after me. Stiles started the car and began driving home

"So how was school?" He asked us, Delia gave me a quick glance from the passenger seat

"It was great! Just another boring all normal school day" I lied and tried to convince him with a smile

"What about you Delia?"

"It was boring" she lied and leaned on the door. So easily.

Stiles parked in the driveway and we stepped out of the car, Delia immediately grabbed my hand dragging me with her inside.

"Hello gi-" her mom didn't even get to finish her sentence before Delia dragged me past her and up to her room. She closed her door and locked it and played some songs on her speaker

"So they won't hear what we're talking about" I nodded confused, she plopped on the bed and patted the spot beside her. I walked to the bed and sat down

"Okey, as we all know the high pitched scream is not normal. Right?" I nodded

"I did some research and guess what I found" she stuck her hand under the bed and pulled out a pile of papers

"Look at this, when I searched up high pitched scream and voices. The only thing that appeared was banshees" she showed me a picture of an old lady sitting by a tree

"This is not the first time it happened to me either, the scream and the voices usually happens when I'm home alone" she showed me another picture of an old person

"Delia, they're all old" I pointed out, a light chuckle came from her

"They don't have to be old to know" she laughed, she really thinks that she's a Banshee?

"Look here, a banshee's scream can crush a human skull if the scream is high pitched enough" she showed me another piece of paper

"Well that's just freaky" I grabbed the sheet and read through it

"I understand if you think I'm crazy, I mean we just met and then this you must think I am crazy I mean-" I interrupted her by covering her mouth with my hand

"I don't think you're crazy, I know supernatural stuff exist. I had an encounter with a werewolf home in New York" she stared at me surprised mixed with confusion

"You... you don't think I'm crazy?" She carefully asked me, I shake my head. A bright smile appeared in her face, she wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tightly

"Can't. Breath" I got out, she let me go

"I have to warn you, Beacon Hills is full of supernatural stuff" she said, I nodded

"I know, look what I found at the crime scene yesterday" I grabbed the claw from my pocket and showed it to Delia, she stared at it fascinated

"That's big" she muttered

"To big to be a normal werewolf claw" we examined the claw a little bit closer

"What kind of animal has a claw like this?" Delia asked

"A supernatural one" I replied

"Let's go to Deaton, he knows things like this" She suggested

"Deaton?"

"He's a veterinarian, he also studies supernatural stuff" she answered me

"Oh"

"Let's bring the others too! Our first adventure!" Delia excitedly exclaimed

"The others? Do they know about all the-"

"Yes" she interrupted me, I sighed

"Okey, call them. And tell them to meet us at the vet, wherever that is" I told her. She smiled happily and started to text everyone

This is going to be a hell of a night
