 Next morning has come and that meant I had to face a long day of banshee useless powers. Malia and Kira tried to help me concentrate so I could found out the next key but it was useless. I don't know how to turn those voices on. After a whole day of concentrating I gave up and Kira left. But Malia seemed interested in talking to me.

"So, how do your banshee’s powers work?"

"I have absolutely no idea"

"Well, you hear voices in your head right?"

"It's not that simple"

"I guess you just have to learn to control it just like I did. With the coyote stuff not that I am a banshee or anything"

"Yes, you learned because Scott taught you, but, who is going to teach me? Because there's no other banshee in Beacon Hills, oh yes there is, and she is crazy."

"Okay, I'm sorry I was just trying to help"

"Thanks but right now I just need to be alone"

"Why don't you ask that crazy banshee for help? She could tell us something"

"That's actually a great idea. I'll talk to her on my way home"
"Let me go with you please"
"Okay; I guess I may need some supernatural strength"

On our way to Eichen House I realized I was actually going on an adventure with Malia Tate, the girl that's dating Stiles, which made the situation a little bit uncomfortable and Malia could smell that... Literally

"Okay what's going on? Why are you so tense?"
"I'm not tense"
"Lydia, I am a coyote, I smell tension all over your car"
"It's just that I hardly know you. That's all"
"I also can hear your heartbeat and you are lying"
"I hate werewolves, okay, I am just worried"
"For what?"

"Stiles"
"Why?"

"I don't know I guess I'm scared that you are going to hurt him or something. You are his first girlfriend"
"Don't worry, I'll never hurt him. Coyotes are very loyal. I will never do anything to hurt him."

"Then that's great. I am not worried anymore"
"I know you are lying but if you don't want to talk about it with me, it's okay. I don't really care"

Thank God Malia was serious and she didn't really care so we could spend the rest of the ride in an awkward silence. When we arrived to Eichen House, Meredith was already there waiting for me, apparently. I tried to talk with her but all she gave me were numbers, which is what happens when you try to talk to a crazy banshee... So Malia decided to go look for Stiles and ask him for help which I think it was an excuse so she didn't have to bare the uncomfortable silence in the car but I kind of thank her. I wanted to be alone.

I got in the car and I suddenly started hearing those voices, I turned my head to the right where the passenger seat is and I started thinking about all those moments Allison and I spent in there and out of nowhere, the key to unlock the next part of the dead pool was there, in my mind

A    I    D   E   N

I called Stiles to tell him what the password was and I sat there, in the car, realizing that the passwords were both names of people that I care about and have died. That could be no coincidence, the benefactor knew us. He knows we are still grieving for Alli, he knows who has died. All we need is the third part of the dead pool and now I know where to look.

I arrived at Scott's where we were going to decide what to do next. Everyone was sitting on a table and of course there were no chairs left for me so I just stood there listening. They all talked about claws, scents, things that just they could do. And I couldn't take it anymore.

"Hey, I am a banshee, I cannot do those things, I don't have claws or super strength I just hear voices in my mind so I'm sorry I'm not cool enough but I am also smart and I know the next name has to be someone that has died so why don't we start from there?"
Everybody was looking at me. I lost it and I felt bad about it but it was the only thing a human slash banshee could do to help. Looking for dead people.

"She is right" Stiles said "I don't have any powers either so I'll help her, while you guys try to stop those assassins"

"Thank you, Stiles"

I didn't know what we were going to find but at least I got to spend time with Stiles and that was a good thing, right?
