I heard my phone ringing in my parents room. They had gone out early in the morning. I opened the door to their room and grabbed my phone, seeing that it was Lydia who was calling,

"Hello?" I asked her,

"We found Canaan. It's a couple hours out, Wanna join?" She asked me, I unplugged my phone,

"I'm on my way outside." I said to her and hung up. I put my shoes on and waited outside for her to pick me up. When she did, I sat in the back with Scott.

***

"Hey, Jaylen, wake up" I heard Lydia say to me. I opened my eyes to see that I was in a horizontal position, Scott's arms were were around me, holding me in place. I moved them aside and sat up and looked at Scott, who fixed him arms while he was still sleeping

"Scott, wake up." Lydia shook him, he didn't wake up.

"Scott!" I yelled, he jumped awake, he sat up,

"Scott!" I yelled, he jumped awake, he sat up,

"Where are we?" He asked,

"According to the GPS, this is it." Malia said to him. We all got out and began walking around.

"Canaan's a Ghost town." Lydia spoke as we walked around the town,

"You think?" I asked her,

"I don't hear a single heartbeat." Scott added,

"I can't catch any scents." Malia complained,

"I wonder why Stiles would send us here."

The street lights buzzed and flickered above us as we walked under them. We stopped when we came across a banner hanging across the street,

"This is the place I saw in the mirror." Lydia declared.

We heard the carousel creaking in the distance. We all walked towards it. The black horse on the carousel was covered in blood, just like Lydia said it was in her vision.

As Scott stepped forward towards it, the carousel began moving, the horses were moving up and down. I turned to look at Malia but she was walking towards a house, I turned to look at Lydia but she was focused deep on the carousel. Scott was walking into an empty house.

I spotted my dad walking down the street, I looked around, wondering if I was the only one seeing him. When it appeared that I was the only one that saw him, I followed him.

I turned around the corner and saw my dad standing in the middle of the road, his back facing me,

"Dad?" I called out,

"What are you doing here?" I continued, when he didn't respond to me or even move an inch, I got goosebumps.

I decided to walk to him,

"Dad, Are you okay?" I asked as I got closer to him. I looked around, this town had a weird energy. I stopped when I was right behind my dad,

"Dad?" I asked again, I tapped his shoulder. He didn't move at first but then I watched as he stiffened, his body turned around in less than a second.
