Chapter Thirty-Three
โŠš The Girl Who Knew Too Much โŠš


Tires burning up the pavement, Scott races his motocross bike to a stop in the school's parking lot. He yanks his helmet off just as Stiles' Jeep soars in beside him. "Where is she?" Sawyer asked as she and Stiles quickly got out and before Scott could say something someone called out to them, "Over here!" Allison called out, making them run past the jeep to see Allison coming out of the shadows with Lydia.ย 

"It's the same thing- same thing as the pool. I got into the car heading somewhere totally different, and ended up here." Lydia said and Sawyer's eyes widened. "You found a dead body?" She asked and Lydia shook her head, "Not yet..." She said, making Stiles squint at her. "Not yet? What do you mean, not yet? Lydia, you're supposed to call us after you find the dead body." He said, making her scoff.ย 

"Oh, no. I'm not doing that again. You find the dead body from now on." Lydia said as Sawyer's eyes clouded over. "How are we supposed to find the dead body? You're always the one finding the dead body!" Stiles said as Sawyer saw flashes of the body of Deputy Graeme laying on the school sign.ย 

Sawyer's eyes went back to normal and she slowly walked away from the group to look at the sign before she stopped and sighed softly. "Guys..." She said, catching their attention, "I found the dead body." Sawyer said and they followed her line of sight to the Beacon Hills High School sign which Deputy Graeme lies on top. Garrote around her neck, blood streaming down the stone and brick.ย

Stiles, Sawyer and Anakin stood behind a pillar, watching as their father talked to some people before noticing them. "Excuse me." He said, before walking towards the twins making them quickly turn around, Stiles trying to hide them behind his backpack as they walked away.ย 

"Hey! Hey, hey, hey- back it up!" Stilinski said, making them stop and turn to him, "I know what you guys are thinking. I know you've got all these ideas about patterns and people dying in threes-" Stilinski said and Stiles quickly interjected.ย 

"Dad, murdered, okay? Sacrificed, actually!" Stiles said and Stilinski shook his head slightly. "I've got half the state, including the FBI, coming in on this. They're not getting away with killing one of our own." Stilinski said and Sawyer sighed and raised her eyebrows slightly.ย 

"Dad, they killed Tara. You know, how many times did she help us with our math homework when we had to wait at the station for you?" Sawyer said in a slight whisper, making their father sigh. "Just, uh... get to class, okay?" He said before walking away, making the twins glance at each other.ย 

โŠšย 

Ms. Blake walked the aisle between desks as she explained whatever she was teaching. "Idioms, analogies, metaphors and similes. All tools for the writer to tell their story." She explained, not paying attention to all the bored expressions on her students' faces.ย 

She paused next to Lydia's desk, noticing Lydia drawing a picture of a leafless tree in her notebook. "Lydia, I wasn't aware you had so many hidden talents." Ms. Blake complemented making Lydia hum, "You and every guy I've ever dated." Lydia said, making Ms. Blake look taken back. "And that was an idiom by the way." She said and Lydia smiled before going back to drawing.

"Idioms are something of a secret to the people who know the language or culture." She said walking back up to the front, glancing directly at Scott, Stiles and Sawyer as she said that. "They're phrases that only make sense if you know key words. Saying "jump the gun" is meaningful only if you know about the starting gun in a race. Or a phrase like "seeing the whole board." She said.ย 

"Like chess." Sawyer muttered, making Ms. Blake look at her with a smile, "That's right, Sawyer. Do you play?" She asked, making Sawyer look up at her before shaking her head. "Oh, uh- I used to with my dad." She said and Ms. Blake smiled and nodded slightly before looking at the rest of the class.ย 

"Now when does an idiom become a clichรฉ?" As hands go up in the classroom, Scott leans over to whisper to Stiles and Sawyer. "I think I can get to Ethan. I'm pretty sure I can make him talk." Scott said, making Sawyer look at him confused, "Why would you want to do that?" She asked.ย 

"The Emissaries are Druids, right?" He asked her and she nodded, "So what if the Darach was an Emissary to the Alphas?" He said. "First of all, I can't believe we've gotten to the point where a sentence like "what if the Darach was an Emissary to the Alphas" actually makes sense to me. Second, there's a huge problem with getting to Ethan." Stiles said, "What's that?" Scott asked.ย 

"Going through Aiden. Ever since he's been back in school they're always together. How are we supposed to separate them again?" Stiles says and Sawyer shrugged slightly, "I'll distract him." She said, making them look at her. "How?" Scott asked and she pursed her lips slightly and glanced over at Lydia for a moment.ย 

"I'll figure something out."ย 

โŠšย 

Lydia walked into Coach's office, with Aiden behind her before he paused when he saw Sawyer sitting on Coach's chair, going through some of the drawers with Anakin sitting next to her. "What is this?" Aiden asked, looking back at Lydia as she shut the office door, "Not a threesome like you're thinking." Sawyer said, looking up at Aiden.ย 

"Come on, man. I'm lesbian and grey-asexual." Sawyer said and Aiden scoffed lightly, "I wasn't thinking that." He said defensively, making Sawyer cock an eyebrow. "Deaton's been helping me work on my mind reading abilities. Don't even try." She said and he sighed and rolled his eyes, "What's going on?" He asked and Sawyer shrugged slightly as she sat back and lightly scratched the top of Anakin's head.ย 

"We're stalling you so my brother and Scott can talk to your brother." Sawyer said, making Aiden look at her confused, "Why?" He asked. "None of your business, just know that the gay twin is always the more tolerable twin." She said and Lydia raised her eyebrows at Sawyer, making Sawyer look at her offended.ย 

"You know I can just leave right?" Aiden asked and Sawyer nodded, "You won't." Sawyer said before painting at him with a pencil. "Because I know that deep down you really want some friends." Sawyer said, making Aiden raise his eyebrows, "What? You're gonna be my friend?" He asked and she scoffed as she stood up.ย 

"Oh, god no. But I'm willing to be nice and help you find some." She said and he rolled his eyes slightly, "I'm surprised you're even willing to talk to me since..." He trailed off slightly, making Lydia raise her eyebrows.ย 

"Since what? Since you killed Boyd?" Lydia asked, making Aiden sigh, "That was Kali. I didn't have a choice." He said and Sawyer tilted her head slightly and pursed her lips slightly. "I thought you were all Alphas." She said and Aiden nodded, "Yeah, well, it's not as democratic as it sounds. And, if you're thinking I should be all filled with remorse, try and remember- Derek killed Ennis." Aiden said.ย 

"So, it's his turn to kill someone now. Is that it?" Lydia asked and Aiden shrugged slightly, "Maybe. Maybe like the time he and Boyd tried to kill you..." Aiden said, making the two girls look at him confused before glancing at each other.ย 

"How long have you people been watching us?" Sawyer asked but before Aiden could say anything, a scratching sound made them all look over at the door to see a spiral being drawn into the condensation. "What the hell is that?" Lydia asked and Aiden growled lowly, "Derek."ย 

Almost instantly Aiden opened the door and stepped out, "Derek?" He called out while the girls and Anakin followed him. "Aiden!" Sawyer said, "Aiden, stop. Please." Lydia said but he ignored them both. "I'm right here, Derek!" Aiden called out, "Aiden, come on dude." Sawyer said.ย 

"I'll scream..." Lydia warned while Sawyer slightly pulled Lydia and Anakin behind her, "You want a fight, Derek? Come and get me!" Aiden said and all of the sudden someone ran out and slammed Aiden into the lockers. But it wasn't Derek, it was Cora who slashed her claw across Aiden's chest.ย 

Cora whips her claws back, blood at Aiden's chest where she's slashed him. But the twin looks up with a furious glare, barely fazed. She tries to step in for another attack, but he moves too fast. Hands latching onto her, Aiden lifts Cora off her feet and flings her across the room.ย 

She tries to step in for another attack, but he moves too fast. Hands latching onto her, Aiden lifts Cora off her feet and flings her across the room. "Aiden, stop!" Lydia yelled but he ignored her and grabbed a barbell plate from a weight rack. When Cora rises to face him, he slams the plate right across her cheek, sending her tumbling to the floor past Lydia, Sawyer and Anakin, "Stop!"ย 

Aiden swings the weight up again, but Scott and Ethan grab him, yanking him. The barbell plate clatters to the floor. "Aiden, you can't do this!" Ethan yelled while his brother struggled against him, "She came at me!"ย 

"It doesn't matter. Kali gave Derek till the next full moon. You can't touch him or her." Ethan said and Aiden glared at them, breathless with anger. A few feet away, Cora barely seems able to hold herself up on the floor while Scott stood ready to defend her.ย 

No one moved as Scott threw a pleading glance to Ethan who finally grabbed his brother and pulled him out the door. Stiles kneeled in front of Cora to help her up, pausing when he noticed the blood at her head.ย 

"Guys. I think she's pretty hurt."ย 

โŠšย 

Cora stood by the sinks as she cleaned the cut on her head. Scott, Stiles, Sawyer, Anakin and Lydia cautiously approach, "Are you okay?" Scott asked. "She doesn't look okay." Lydia said, making Cora let out a frustrated sigh, "I'll heal."ย 

The moment she steps away from the sink, however, Cora staggers making Sawyer, Scott and Stiles move to catch her. But she manages to grab the sink and steady herself, "I said I'm fine." She said and Sawyer raised her eyebrows. "Do you realize how suicidally crazy that was? What were you thinking going after them?" She asked making Cora look at her.ย 

"I did it for Boyd. None of you were doing anything." Cora said, making all their faces fall. "You're a bunch of stupid teenagers running around thinking you can stop people from getting killed. But all you do is show up late. All you really do is find the bodies." Cora said.ย 

As another drop of blood slid down her temple, Cora brushed past them and pushed out the door. "She's definitely a Hale. I'll make sure she gets home." Stiles said before running after her.ย

School officials and security surround a distraught Lydia while Sawyer comfortingly rubbed Lydia's arms as Lydia talked to Ms. Blake and mindlessly petted Anakin. "I don't get why no one's calling the police." Lydia said and Ms. Blake nodded slightly, "They're going to make an announcement over the PA-" She started to say but Lydia cut her off.ย 

"That's not going to do anything. I told you he's gone, like the others. Taken." Lydia stressed and the teacher nodded slowly "Okay, we're just trying to understand. All we know is that Mr. Westover didn't show up for class." Ms. Blake said.ย 

"And the last time that happened was Mr. Harris. Anyone heard from him lately?" Sawyer questioned, making Ms. Blake look over at Sawyer for a moment. At the door, Scott and Ethan push past other students looking in as Lydia pulls away from Sawyer and heads to the chalkboard.ย 

"He's gone and he's going to be the second murder." She points to the number two in the circle, "But, Lydia, you wrote that number." Ms. Blake said and Lydia shrugged. "Okay, fine. I'm psychic." She said and Ms. Blake raised her eyebrows, "You're psychic?" Ms Blake asked, obviously not believing Lydia making Sawyer glare at her slightly while Lydia looked frustrated.ย 

"I'm something!"ย 

โŠšย 

After getting a call from her brother, Sawyer now stood around her room with Stiles, Cora, Stilinski and Anakin. The twins were trying to work on the courage to tell their father about the supernatural, as well as how they were going to tell him.ย 

"Yes! Okay." Stiles said, turning to his father before shaking his head, "Nooo, oh..." He mumbled. Sawyer went to say something but paused as she squinted and thought for a moment. "Guys?" Stilinski said, impatiently, making the twins turn to him.ย 

"Dad, we're sorry, okay? We're just... We're trying to- we're just trying to figure out how to start, here..." Sawyer said and Stilinski raised his eyebrows, "Hey, I don't have this kind of time." He said and the twins glanced at each other for a moment.ย 

"Um... For the last year, you've had all these cases that you couldn't figure out, right? I mean, all the murders involving Kate Argent, and then Matt killing all the people that drowned him, and all these murders right now! It's like- It's like you've been playing a losing game." Stiles said, making his father squint at him slightly.ย 

"Stiles, Sawyer, the last thing I need right now is a job performance review from my own kids-" Stilinski said and Sawyer sighed and nodded, "I know." She said before glancing over at her bookshelf to see her chess board.ย 

"Okay, see, but that's...That's just it, Dad." She said as she grabbed the chess board and walked back over to them, "The- the reason that you're losing the game is 'cause you've never been able to see the whole board." She said and Stiles nodded.ย 

"We need to show you the whole board."ย 

After a little while, Stiles and Sawyer sat across from their father, the chess board on the table in between them with little paper on different pieces with people's names on them and color-coded. Cora still sat on Sawyer's bed with Anakin's head on her lap.ย 

"Scott and Derek are Werewolves?" Stilinski asked and the twins nodded, "Yes." They both said. "And Kate Argent was a Werewolf?" Stilinski said and Sawyer shook her head, "Hunter. That's- purple's Hunter." She said. "Along with Allison and her father." Cora said, making Sawyer nod and point at her, "Yeah. And... and my friend Deaton, the veterinarian, is a Kanima?" Stilinski asked.ย 

"Well, no. No, no, no, no. He's a Druid, okay? Well, we think." Stiles said and Stilinski furrowed his brows, "So, who's the Kanima?" He asked. "Jackson." Stiles said and Stilinski shook his head and pointed at the pieces, "No, Jackson's a Werewolf." He said.

"Jackson was the Kanima first, and Peter and Derek killed him, and he came back to life as a Werewolf. Now, he's in London..." Sawyer explained and Stilinski raised his eyebrows slightly, "And what are you?" He asked, looking at the piece with the white paper and her name.ย 

"We haven't actually found a proper name for me... We've just been saying Clairvoyant... I uh- I can see the future and ghosts and some other stuff we can get into later." She said and her father hummed and nodded slightly.ย 

"Who's the Darack?" Stilinski said, "It's Darach..." Stiles corrected. "We don't know yet." Cora said and Sawyer nodded in agreement, "We don't know yet." She said.ย "But he was killed by Werewolves?" Stilinski asked and the twins nodded, "Slashed up and left for dead." They both said, making Cora roll her eyes slightly.ย 

"We think." She said and Stiles nodded, "We think." He said and Stilinski sighed and sat back, staring at the board for a moment. "Why was Jackson the Kanima?" He said and Sawyer took a deep breath, "Cause sometimes, the shape that you take reflects the person that you are." She said.

"And what shape would an increasingly confused and angrier-by-the-second father take?" Stilinski asked, making the twins purse their lips slightly, "Uh, that would be more of an expression like the one you're currently wearing..." They both said at the same time.ย 

"Yeah." Stilinski said before getting up, making Stiles and Sawyer quickly get up, "Dad- Dad, would you- We can prove it, okay? Look, she's one of them. A Werewolf!" Stiles said, pointing at Cora, making Sawyer look at her. "Stiles. Stiles! That's enough." Stilinski said walking away, while Sawyer furrowed her brows when she noticed Anakin now had his head on the bed, tapping his nose against Cora's thigh.ย 

"Dad, can you please just hold on?" Stiles said, making their father stop and look at them before Stiles turned to Cora. "You ready?" He asked and Cora nodded and stood up, making Sawyer take a cautious step towards her. "All right, Dad, just watch this, okay?" Stiles said before Sawyer suddenly shot out, catching Cora as she started to faint.ย 

Stilinski and Anakin both ran over as Sawyer gently lowered Cora to the ground, laying Cora's head on her knees as she checked her pulse. "Someone needs to call an ambulance. Quickly." She said, looking up at her father and brother.ย 

Stiles quickly pulled his phone out while Sawyer looked back down at Cora's bleeding forehead. All of the sudden, Sawyer started seeing flashes of Lydia tied to a chair in a classroom with Ms. Blake standing in front of her.ย

"What did you see the night at the bank, when Scott was trying to save Deaton?" Stiles asked as he and Sawyer followed behind their father in the hospital. "Nothing." Stilinski said and Sawyer raised her eyebrows, "Dad, you saw him healing himself after he tried crossing the mountain ash." Sawyer said.ย 

"I don't know what I saw." Stilinski said as they turned the corner, "You saw something that you can't explain!" Stiles said, making Stilinski stop and turn to them.ย 

"Guys, I have seen a lot of things I can't explain in this town. That doesn't make 'em supernatural, and it doesn't make 'em real. They just found another body. That's real- and that's the lead I'm following." Stilinski said before starting to walk away again, "Yeah, and another teacher's going to die if you don't start listening to us-" Sawyer started to say but their father interrupted her.ย 

"I am listening! I have been listening!" He yelled as he turned to them, making a bunch of people look over at them. "You just don't believe." Stiles said and Stilinski pointed at them, shaking his head like he was going to say something before deciding to walk away.ย 

"Mom would've believed us." Sawyer and Stiles both said, making their father stop and sigh softly while they turned around and walked away.ย

Sawyer and Stiles walked into the auditorium where the recital was being held. Stiles walked over to Scott and Sawyer was about to follow him but Lydia walked up and grabbed her arm, "Come with me." She said, making Sawyer look at her for a moment before nodding.ย 

"What is it?" Sawyer asked as they walked down the hall, "Aiden texted me telling me to meet him and he said it was life or death... He also asked for you to come with." Lydia said, showing Sawyer the messages before sighing. "I don't have a good feeling about this." She said and Sawyer nodded slightly, "Let's find out. Keep your guard up." She said, holding her arm out slightly, making Lydia grab it.ย 

The girls step into the empty room before they both pause, hearing the music from the recital hall drifting in before a low chant started. The same chilling refrain from the Music Teacher's recording. Sawyer pulled away from Lydia, glancing around cautiously. "You hear that too right?" Lydia asked in a slight whisper as she glanced around.ย 

"Yeah, I hear it." Sawyer said as she glanced around the classroom before remembering the vision she had earlier, making her eyes widen. "Lydia, we need to get out of here." She said, grabbing Lydia's arm and starting to pull her out of the classroom but stopped when they saw Jennifer Blake.ย 

"You both recognize it, don't you?" Jennifer said, with a dark smirk on her face, "You're the Darach..." Sawyer said but before she or Lydia could fully register everything, Jennifer slammed something against Sawyer's head. Lydia gasped, her hand flying up to her mouth as Sawyer fell to the ground. As Lydia opens her mouth to scream, Jennifer swings a garrote, bashing it into the back of her head.ย 

Not too long later, Sawyer started to wake up before her eyes clouded over and she saw flashes of the teacher playing the piano getting her throat slashed by a piano sting.ย 

She groaned weakly, the gash on her forehead stinging making her go to raise her hand before realizing her arms are tied making her eyes shoot open. She looks around to see Lydia, slouched on a chair in front of her, making her eyes widen. "Lydia!" Sawyer yelled and suddenly there was a dark chuckle from behind her.ย 

"You woke up sooner than I thought." Jennifer said as she walked around Sawyer before leaning down slightly, "You saw something, didn't you?" She asked with a smirk making Sawyer glare at her. "Suck my dick." She said and Jennifer chuckled before gently grabbing Sawyer's chin, pushing her head up slightly.ย 

"I guess you'll have to show me." Jennifer said before pressing her hands to the sides of Sawyer's face, making Sawyer gasp slightly as her eyes clouded over. Jennifer's eyes went completely white for a moment before she winced slightly and pulled away from Sawyer.ย 

"You're more difficult than I thought..." Jennifer said, making Sawyer furrow her brows, "What the hell are you talking about?" Sawyer asked and Jennifer shook her head slightly. "I thought you were a Seer, but you are so much more than that." Jennifer said and Sawyer leaned her head back in annoyance, "I'll be as old as you by the time you get to the point." Sawyer said, making Jennifer roll her eyes.ย 

"You're something new Sawyer. You've somehow become a new supernatural." Jennifer said and Sawyer stared at her for a moment before going to say but Lydia slowly woke up, her hand reaching for the back of her head where blood mats her hair down.ย 

"What are you doing?" Lydia said weakly, making Jennifer turn to her. "What's necessary. I'm still surprised none of you seem to get that. You call them sacrifices, but you're not understanding the word. It's derived from the Latin sacrificium, an offering to a deity; a sacred rite. A necessary evil." Jennifer said.ย 

"Stop..."ย 

"Oh, I wish I could girls... But you don't know the Alphas like I do." Jennifer said, "Please, stop." Lydia whispered as Jennifer started to walk behind her holding a garrote while Sawyer started trying to struggle against her restraints, she hasn't gotten to the escaping restraints part of her self-defense classes yet. "But the two of you? You're not sacrifices. You're just girls who knows too much. Actually, girls who knew too much." Jennifer said.ย 

"No!" Sawyer screamed as the wire of the garrote swung over Lydia's neck but Lydia raised her hand into the loop making it close against her palm. "Lydia, don't-" Jennifer started to say but with every last bit of strength she has, Lydia screams. The scream was almost ear shattering but unlike how it slightly affected Jennifer, it didn't affect Sawyer, all it did was make Sawyer's eyes cloud over.ย 

Lydia's hand falls away allowing the wire to tighten around her throat as Jennifer stepped back slightly. Through tears, Lydia peers back at Jennifer looking at both girls in proud astonishment.ย 

"Unbelievable! You have no idea what you two are, do you? The Wailing Woman. A Banshee right before my eyes. And Sawyer created a new supernatural with a Seer, a Psychic, a Banshee and more. The two of you could be twin flames." Jennifer said, making the two teen girls look at each other for a moment.ย 

"You're just like me, girls- Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it. The two of you together can hold so much power. It's too bad, though... And too late." Jennifer says as she binds Lydia's hands with tape at the back of the chair while Sawyer continues to struggle and yell.ย 

She spins the garrote, tightening the wire, strangling Lydia. "No! Stop it!" Sawyer yelled as she struggled more and more, "Scott! Isaac! Stiles!" Sawyer screamed, knowing at least one of the werewolves would hear them. From her pocket, Jennifer removes a frighteningly sharp knife. "One last Philosopher..." She says before closing her eyes, "No!"ย 

Jennifer opens her eyes and looks down on Lydia before she brings the knife's edge toward her throat. "Drop it!" Gun aimed, Stilinski stands just inside the door. Reacting with a slight smile, Jennifer flings the knife. The blade lands in Stilinski's arm causing him to fire wildly, "Dad!" Sawyer yelled. The gun dropped to the ground in front of Scott's feet as he slowly looked up with fangs bared, making Stilinski's eyes widen as he watched Scott launch toward Jennifer.ย 

She moves fast and with sudden strength. Ducking his claw swipes and grabbing him, she sends Scott hurtling off his feet and smashing through desks all the way to the back of the room. Stiles rushes to the door but with the slightest push of Jennifer's hand, the teacher's desk slides across the floor and slams into the door, locking Stiles out.ย 

Sawyer managed to get one of her hands free, making her quickly get the tape off the other. Once she got her legs free she instantly ran over to Lydia, pulling her pocket knife out while Jennifer slowly approached her father. Stilinski picks up the gun aiming it at her, "There was a girl. Years ago, we found her in the woods. Her face and body slashed apart. It was you, wasn't it?" He asked.ย 

"And like the good detective you put it all together, didn't you? Maybe I should've started with Philosophers. With knowledge and strategy." She continues her approach, making him pull the trigger, shooting her leg. Slowly, both the wound and blood disappear almost instantly making his eyes widen.ย 

"Healers." Jennifer said before she charged forward, yanking the gun out of his hand and slamming him up against the wall, making Sawyer's eyes widen. "Warriors." Ripping his Sheriff's badge from his shirt, she crushes it in her hand. "Guardians." She said as she slowly leaned forward, "Virgins..." She said before kissing him.ย 

When she pulls back, her face is the torn, teeth rotted visage of the Darach, mouth opening to shriek in fury as the teacher's desk pitches forward and Stiles stumbles in. "Dad!" Sawyer yelled once she got Lydia freed before running forward, while desks clatter away from the back of the room, revealing a bloodied Scott standing to his feet.ย 

"Dad?" Stiles yelled as he ran up to stand next to his sister as they stared ahead of them both their father and Jennifer were gone.
