Stiles and I tip toe into Danny Mahaealani's hospital room, trying our best to be as quiet as we possibly can. We reach his bedside and Stiles leans over the unconscious boy slightly.

"Danny, you awake?" He whispers, shaking his shoulder "Danny?"

He lightly slaps the Mahaealani boy's face a couple times before slapping it a little harder, making Danny stir in his sleep, and he jumps back in fright, grabbing onto me.

"Idiot" I mutter, pushing him off me.

I crouch down to Danny's backpack, unzipping it and I feel Stiles' eyes on my ass but I say nothing, looking through the contents of the bag.

"What are you doing?" I hear a sleepy voice ask and I turn my head to see Danny looking at us in confusion.

"We're not doing anything, Danny. This is just a dream that you're having" Stiles tells the boy and I roll my eyes, continuing my search through the backpack.

"Why are you going through my stuff?" Danny asks.

"Right, but only in the dream, remember?" Stiles replies "Dream. You're dreaming"

"Why would I dream about you going through my stuff?" Danny then asks, making me snort.

"I don't know that, Danny, okay? It's your dream. Take responsibility for it. Shut up and go back to sleep" Stiles snaps in annoyance.

I find a paper Danny has written on telluric currents and I pull it out, showing it to Stiles.

"Oh, Danny boy, you might've actually found something here" Stiles hums.

I stand up and turn, pushing the paper to the Stilinski boy's chest before bringing my lips to his ear.

"Instead of staring at my ass like a starved dog, why don't you just take a picture for later when you're alone?" I tease him, lightly brushing my fingers against the waistband of his pants and he shakily breathes out, making me smirk widely.

"I-I'm sorry" He stutters, trying not to look me in the eyes.

I grab his chin, making him look at me and his tongue darts out to lick his dry lips anxiously.

"Don't apologise, dork" I smirk, running my pointer finger down his jaw "I like eyes on me"

He gapes like a fish out of water and I pat his cheek, walking past him to the door. I hear his converse squeak against the floor as he scrambles after me and I shake my head with an amused smile.

We exit the hospital and Stiles' phone starts ringing loudly in his pocket. I turn, reaching into his pant's front pocket and pull out the phone to see my brother calling. Stiles stares at me in awe as I answer the call, putting it on speaker.

"Hello, brother" I joke and Scott snorts in amusement.

"Where's Stiles?" My twin asks.

"He's next to me" I answer simply before adding "You're on speaker"

"Good. You're both gonna want to hear this" He states before diving into his explanation.

He tells us about how Allison's father has been tracking the darach sacrifices and might possibly know where he's going to kill the next six people, including Deaton.

"Deaton's got to be at one of the six locations" Scott adds "But they're all over town. I don't know how we can get to all of them fast enough"

"Well, we might not have to" Stiles finally speaks up "Danny was doing a project on something for Mr Harris' physics class, and I think it actually means something"

"What project?" Scott asks.

"Something on telluric currents" I answer.

"Did you say currents?" Scott asks, perking up.

"Yeah" I drawl off.

"Okay, so, what does this kid's homework have to do with finding Deaton?" Cora asks as we all stand around the metal table in the veterinary.

"Because it's not just homework, okay? It's a project on geomagnetic fields" Stiles explains "They flow through the earth. They can even be affected by lunar phases, all right? Now, look at this. This is a note from Harris on Danny's proposal"

"'I strongly advise you to choose another subject. The ideas here, while innovation and thoughtful, border on pseudoscience. Not suitable for class'" Lydia reads out.

"Harris wasn't just a sacrifice. He knew something" Scott realises.

"Now, check this out" Stiles says, pulling out a sheet of paper "Allison's dad wasn't the only one with a map, all right? Danny had one too"

I look down at the map on the table and scott places the pieces of Argent's map slightly on top of it.

"Danny marked all the telluric currents, okay? Now, the weird thing about Beacon Hills is that it actually is a beacon. You wouldn't believe how much energy flowing through this earth is around this town" Stiles tells us.

"I think I can imagine" Cora remarks, looking at me and I grin widely, flashing her my pink eyes.

"Stiles, look, they match" Scott declares, looking between the two maps "All right, there's three places, right? Where they're kidnapped, and then the place where their body was found"

"Look, that's right on the telluric current" Lydia speaks up as Scott circles the locations.

"So, maybe where he was sacrificed is somewhere in between" I suggest.

"Let me see that" Stiles quips, taking the pen from Scott "You said there's six more bodies to be found. Deaton's one of them. Got to be somewhere in between, right?"

"Stop" Cora snaps, grabbing Stiles' hand with the pen in it and moving it across the map "He's in the vault. He's in the same vault"

Although the others are hurriedly packing the things away, I can't take my eyes off the spot where Cora had her hand on Stiles' and a horrible nausea hits me.

A hand lands on my shoulder and I turn my head to see Cora smirking at me knowingly, making me roll my eyes as I shrug her off me. I follow Scott to the door and Cora sticks to my side, a stupid smug smile on her face.

"Guys, hold on" Lydia speaks up as Cora pulls out her phone, my best friend's face falling to a worried frown.

"Lydia, we don't have time" Scott replies.

"It's Boyd. The plan didn't work. They cut the power" Cora speaks and we all share a look of shock.

"It's just like he said" Scott mumbles "Go. I can save Deaton myself"

"What? Scott, what about us?" Stiles asks.

"Cora and Natalia can't get there fast enough without you guys" Scott tells him "Go. We can save both of them"

"All right, let's go" Stiles snaps as Scott races out the back door.

We sprint out the front door and I scramble into the passenger seat as the others jump into the car. Stiles fires up the engine and sends us speeding towards the Hale loft.

As we're all anxiously looking out the windows of the car, hoping to God that the guys are okay, I feel eyes on me and I turn my head to see Stiles looking right at me with an unreadable expression. I look right back at him and as I feel my heartbeat speed up, I frown and turn away from him, not wanting Cora to hear again.

We reach the building and immediately dash inside, heading straight for the basement where the power has been shut down.

"Okay, what do we do?" I ask in confusion.

"We pull them. We pull all of them" Cora answers.

We all grab as many levers as we can, pulling them with speed. Once they're all down and Stiles texts Isaac, I grab Cora and yank her to the door.

"Come on. We gotta get up there" I rush them and they follow as I dart up the stairs.

It takes us a couple minutes to race up all the stairs but once we do, the first thing I see is Isaac and Miss Blake sitting on the floor with sadness on both their faces. I look into the loft to see Derek kneeled in the pool of water, looking down at the body of Boyd who isn't moving.

Cora sprints towards the pair, Stiles and I on her tail, and she falls to her knees next to Boyd, grabbing him desperately as I stop beside Derek.

I watch sadly as my best friend sobs loudly for the boy she'd grown to care for and I notice the blood on Derek's hands, the broken look on his face. His hands shake, making me shed a tear in sadness for the Hale siblings and the fallen wolf who I'd grown fond of.

I slowly kneel down in front of Derek and reach out, grabbing his face in my hands. He looks at me through tear filled eyes and I pull him into a hug. A sob escapes his throat as he clings onto me tightly, burying his face into my shoulder, and I rub his back, a tear rolling down my cheek.

"It's gonna be okay, Derbear" I try my best to assure the shaken man.

"Everything is" I add.
