Awakened (Teen Wolf) Book 3

Chapter 19 - Scream!

We never found anything and we were sent home from school after the fire alarm. Kira's dad and our new history teacher had invited Scott over for dinner. Lydia went back to Stiles' place to look at his investigation board and try and figure a few more things out and Isaac went to Allison's to see if she had found anything in the bestiary.

I rang Peter. "What's up?" He asked.

"You're a serial killer, right?"

"Excuse me?"

"We're looking for one. Well actually we're looking for a shrapnel bomber named William Barrow who's after teenagers with glowing eyes."

"And what does me being an EX serial killer have to do with this?" He said, putting emphasis on 'ex.'

"Well where do you guys hang out? Where can we find him? Ideas?"

"Anna... this may come as a shock to you, but there isn't a secret club where we all meet up on Friday nights bragging about kills and our secret hideouts."

"You aren't helping."

"Well I don't have anything for you."

"Fine. I'll just go out and look for the bomber on my own."

"Hang on..." I hung up just in time for Stiles to ring me.

"Stiles..."

"Come to the school. Now." He said and hung up.

Okaaaay.

I got back in my car and drove back to the school. Once I got there I caught Stiles and Lydia's scents and followed to one of the Chemistry labs. "Guys?"

"In the chemical storage room!" Lydia yelled back.

"What's going on?" I asked them once I walked into the room.

"You wouldn't have been able to catch Barrow's scent if it was covered in this smell." Lydia said, gesturing around the chemical room. I caught on instantly. It stunk in here and the smell was definitely strong enough to override pretty much anything.

"Okay... and?"

"Barrow was here." Stiles said. "He completed the rest of the surgery on himself to stop the bleeding from the operation that he woke up midway through." Stiles said, gesturing to the blood on the floor.

"Oh, that's nasty." I muttered. "So do we know who he's trying to kill?" I asked.

"That's what we're here to figure out." Stiles said as Lydia became distracted by something back in the class room.

"Lydia?" I asked. She ignored me and walked out of the room and up to the chalk board which had numbers on it.

"Lydia, what are those?" Stiles asked.

"Atomic numbers." She answered.

"Is it a formula?" I asked.

"Not really." She picked up the chalk and started writing down the letters that stood for the different numbers. She wrote 'K' next to the first number, 19. Then she wrote 'I' next to the number 53.

"Lydia, what's the last one?" Stiles asked. She wrote down 'RA'.

"Kira." Both Stiles and I said together.

"Scott's at Kira's. We need to call him." I said as I pulled out my phone. There was no reply. "He's not answering." I said.

"Damn it. Come on." Stiles said and lead us out to the car park. He drove first with Lydia, leading the way and I followed in my car.

We made it to Kira's house, which I had no idea how Stiles knew where it was, to find Scott unconscious on the ground. "Scotty!" I yelled as I got out of the car. Lydia and Stiles were already at his side as he came to.

"Barrow! He took Kira!" Scott said as soon as he sat up.

"We know. He was after her the whole time."

"We have to find her." Scott said, looking at Lydia like she could do it.

"I don't hear the flies anymore." She said. "I feel like I can do this, but I don't know what to do. It's on the tip of my tongue and I don't know how to trigger it. It makes me want to scream." She said as she walked past us, grabbing her hair like she wanted to rip it out.

"Okay, then scream. Lydia... scream." Stiles said.

She didn't hesitate before screaming. Stiles clamped his hands over his ears and I had buried myself in Scott's shoulder, on the point of tears. I felt like my ear drums were going to burst. The Nix curse made it worse for me. Lydia stopped and looked up at the street light. She then spun around inhumanly fast, making all three of us jump back. "It's not flies. It's electricity." She said.

"Wait a sec. Barrow was an electrical engineer. He worked at a power sub-station." Stiles said.

"What sub-station?" Scott and I asked in unison. 

I have now completed my editing in Book 1 - Transformed - Please check out chapter 36 and chapter 56. I have added in a song for both chapters in the multimedia and would love it if you could tell me if you think it goes and links in! :)
