Chapter Six
Shattered Glass
Once I ran out of Coach's class, heading my way was Sheriff Stilinski. When he saw me, his eyes showed concern.
"Are you okay, Shay?" He asked as he walked closer to me, "You look a bit flustered."
No, I was not. My best friend that I may or may not like almost had sex with another girl and I just shattered a water tank using my freaky telekinesis powers. But obviously I couldn't tell him that.
"I, um, " I stuttered and gave him a weak smile, "I'm just a bit under the weather."
Before he could even answer, I hurried away down the hall and to the girl's restroom. Luckily, it was empty. I stood in front of the sick and looked into the mirror. The more I thought about Heather and Stiles, the more sad and conflicted I feel. That's when tears started to brim out of my eyes. I scoffed at myself for being so emotional. I grabbed the hair tye and released my hair from its once side-braid to letting my hair flow down. I tucked the sides of my hair under my ears before crossing my arms and glaring at myself in the mirror.
My eyes narrowed as the middle part of the glass started to crack. The crack grew bigger and went in all directions on the mirror until the glass shattered and fell into the sink. I stared at the glass with my eyes bulging out of my sockets. The immense shock and anxiety that fell over me became to much. My eye lids started to flutter and my limbs became weak. Finally, my eyes closed and I fell to the ground.

As hours past by, I finally woke up. My body was sprawled out on the cold floor. God, what th hell happened? I sat up, my back rough and sore, and looked towards the wall. That's when I saw the broken mirror and remembered what had happened. Stiles, Heather, the water tank, the mirror. Everything came rushing back to me.
I sighed and pushed away the thought of Heather and Stiles together. I reached over to my bag, which was near the sink, and grabbed my phone. Once I turned it on, my eyes widened in shock. It was 10:00 p.m! I quickly rushed out of the bathroom and into the dark, empty hallway. The doors were probably locked but I've broken into this school more than enough times to know how to pick the locks.
When I walked outside of the main doors of the school, I checked my phone again.
7 missed calls from Isaac
2 missed calls from Derek
27 missed calls and 17 voice mails from Stiles.
My brows rose, "Stiles really wants me to call me." I whispered to myself. One of the messages sent by yours truly said to meet them at Deaton's office. I hope everything's okay.
"Where the hell were you?" Stiles said as he rushed over to me and developed me into a hug. He wrapped his arms around my lower back while I wrapped mine around his neck. I arrived a Deaton's literally a minute ago and once I entered the back room, all eyes were on me. And of course, Stiles was the first to say or do something.
"I'm sorry, "I mumbled in the crook of his neck before pulling back, "I wasn't feeling well and the nurse sent me home."
"Are you alright?" Stiles asked.
I nodded, "Yeah I'm fine. What's going on here?"
"We need to regain Isaac's memory to find out where Erica and Boyd are." Deaton answered.
"And how are we going to do that?"
Deaton gestured his arm to the large metal bucket that was filled with water and ice cubes. My lips pressed into a hard line as I nodded, "That doesn't look fun."
"Obviously, it's not going to be comfortable, "Deaton said to Isaac who looked conflicted on whether or not to do this, "But if we can slow your heart rate down enough, you'll slip into a trance-like state."
"Like being hypnotized."
"Exactly. You'll be half transformed. It'll let us access your subconscious mind." He explained as I helped pouring the last bag of ice into the bath.
Scott spoke up, "How slow does his heart rate have to be?"
"Very slow."
"Well, how slow is very slow?" Derek asked, concerned with his beta. Whether Derek chooses to show it or not, he cares for his pack.
"Nearly dead." And that stopped us in cold silence.
Isaac bent down and touched the water before flinching back, hissing, "It's safe though right?"
Deaton raised his brow, "Do you want me to answer honestly?"
Isaac shook his head, looking down, "No, not really."
I was about to asked something until we all heard elastic being stretched. All of our heads turned towards the doorway where Stiles stood, a yellow rubber glove being stretched onto his hand. He looked at us, with that stupid yet cute look on his face.
"What?"
Derek rose his eyebrows together, obviously annoyed with him. Stiles rolled his eyes before quickly taking off the glove and waking over next to me, huffing in a annoyance. It took a lot out of me not to laugh at him. We all returned our attention to Isaac who nervously stood at the side of the ice bath.
"Look, if it feels too risky, you don't have to do this." Derek said.
Isaac said nothing but have a look of determination and begain to take off his shirt. I swear, I didn't look at his chest. He grabbed the sides and hopped into the icy freezing tube, blowing in and out through his mouth once his skin touched the water. The moment when Isaac went into the water, this nervousness washed over me. I'm trying to reconnected my relationship with him and his safety means a lot.
"Shay, "Deaton said, looking at me out of the corner of his eyes, "Can I talk to you for a moment."
Cautiously, I walk over to him and he pulled me into the corner, "What's wrong?"
"I want you out of the room when this is done."
"Why?"
"I saw the way you looked at Isaac. You were concerned and worried for him. If anything goes wrong with this, then your emotions may get the best of you and your telekinesis may take behold, "Deaton answered, "And from my thoughts conceive, you didn't really go home from school because you were sick, did you?"
I shook my head, shamefully, "I shattered a mirror."
He nodded before placing a hand of my shoulder, "Go wait outside."
Deaton turned his attention to Stiles, "Stiles can you and Shay wait outside of the office?"
"Why?" Stiles asked, his brows confused as he looked at me for answers.
"You and Shay are the only humans in here and if something happens, we'll need werewolf strength to handle it."
"Oh, "Stiles answered before his eyes lowered, "Alright, come on Shay."
He grabbed my wrist and we walked out of the office. He led me into the back storage room where all the pet's food bags were scattered around. Stiles closed the door after us as I sat on one of the seed bags. At first, we sat in silence, me watching Stiles fumble with his fingers.
"I hate this." I heard him mumble.
"What?"
"I hate this, I hate feeling useless." He answered. Guilt flood through me once I realized it. He wanted to go out and help but instead he felt like he couldn't do anything useful. If only he knew by him going into a separate room with me was him helping me. But I couldn't tell him.
"I know the feeling." I whispered as I crossed my legs.
"Are you mad at me?" He abruptly said after another minute of silence. I looked up at him and thought about for a second. Yes, I was a tad bit mad at him about him almost sleeping with Heather but I didn't have the right to be. It wasn't like I was his girlfriend.
"No, I'm not." I lied. I hated liars and telling lies but in this case, I was willing to. But inside their was this burning revaluation that told the truth. I was jealous, completely.
Stiles opened his mouth to say something until a yell was heard from the other room. Quickly we rushed out and once we walked into the room, Isaac jolted up from the tube, shouting, "I saw it! I saw the name. It's, uh... B-beacon hills first national bank. It's, um... it's an abandoned bank, and they're keeping them locked inside, inside the vault. What?"
"You don't remember what you said right before you came out of it, do you?" Scott asked as the room grew silent.
"No."
"You said when they captured you that they dragged you into a room and that there was a body in it."
My eyes grew wide, "What body?"
"Erica. You said it was Erica."
