Smoke and Mirrors


Stiles drove me and Liam to my home and to sniff out Scotts things. Stiles ran to his room and looked through his dirty laundry.

"Here, try that." He passed me a random clothing item at me and i sniffed it.

"Fabric softener." I threw the clothing item at his bed as I realized what it was. His underwear! I gagged. He grabbed another underwear and held to me.

"Remember, Scott's life is on the line." I shook my head.

"Stiles, remember I live with Scott, I know his scent by heart."

"Yeah. That works, too." We ran downstairs, ready to go to Mexico. Stiles bumps into Liam. "Oh! Liam, go home. You're not coming with us."

"Why not?" Liam pouted.

"Because it's a full moon. And I don't feel like driving all the way down to Mexico just to have you rip my throat out."

"You can lock me up, right? Chain me down to the back seat or something?"

"You tore through the last chains, remember?" I reminded him. That was a pain. I had to catch him. And he ruined my favorite outfit that night.

"Yeah, we would have to freeze you in carbonite to get you down there."

"Okay, then where do we get carbonite?" He's so adorable I swear.

"Seriously, you haven't seen it either?" Stiles turns around and Liam runs up to him.

"Wait! What if we put me in the trunk?"

"You'd get out of that, too." He told him.

"Liam, you've been a werewolf all of five minutes. You don't have to do this." I assured him. Liam is now my responsibility, no matter what.

"I know I don't, but I want to. There's gotta be bigger chains, a bigger trunk or something."

"There has to be. Maybe there is." Stiles drove us to an abandoned building, where we met up with Derek and his new girlfriend. "How did you get a prison transport van?

"I'm a U.S. Marshal." She said to Stiles.

"Yeah, I just thought that was just a cover."

"Are we really bringing him?" I said as I pointed at Peter, who jumped out of his car. Malia, Demetri, and Isaiah came out of Demetri's car.

"Are we really bringing him?" Derek pointed at Liam.

"We're bringing everyone that we can. And considering Scott and Kira were taken the night before a full moon, we should probably get going." Peter told us all.

"What's that mean?" Malia asked him.

"If Kate took Scott back to the same temple that she took Derek, how do we know she's not planning to do the same thing to him?" Peter explains to Malia.

"What, she wants to make him younger?" I said as I crossed my arms.

"Or take him back to when he wasn't a werewolf." Derek said as he looked at me. Man I wanted to jump him.

"A werewolf can't steal a true Alpha's power. But maybe a Nagual jaguar, with the power of Tezcatlipoca behind her... Maybe she can. So, if everyone is sufficiently freaked out, I say we get going."

"We can't. Not without Lydia." Demetri tells Peter.

"What's she doing at the school anyway?" Derek asked then he looked at me.

"We got Kira's sword, but we need something with a stronger scent. Lydia went to get a jacket out of her locker." I told him, not facing him.

"Nothing." Demetri says as he tried to call her.

"If she has a car, she can catch up to us." Braeden tells him. Demetri was getting mad. But he calmed down.

"That's a good point." Isaiah tells him.

"We'll call her from the road."

"No. What if something happened? What if she's in trouble?" Demetri panics.

"Fine. You stay, you find her. We're gonna go on without you." Peter walks away. Liam walks up to Demetri.

"I could call Mason. He has a study group at school. Maybe he could look for her. " Demetri smiles at Liam.

"All right. Fine." He finally gave up. Malia went with Peter and the Hastings got in their car, who are probably going to fight during the whole car ride to Mexico.

"Remember what we're dealing with." Peter says as we turned to him. "It's not just Kate, it's Berserkers. You might see human eyes behind those skulls. Do not assume that there's any humanity left. Oh. This little one is terrified of them, aren't you? Don't worry, my friend. It is that fear that will keep you alive. A reminder to everyone. You do not fight Berserkers to survive, you fight to kill." I rolled my eyes as I got in the van. I groan as I sat next to Derek. Derek cuffed Liam to the seat,

"All good?" He asked him. Liam pulled on the cuff and looked at him.  "Okay. I brought something to help you." Derek pulled out the triskelion from his pocket and gave it to Liam. "This has been with my family for centuries. It's a very powerful, supernatural talisman. We use it to teach Betas how to control themselves on a full moon."

"Yes, it's powerful. Very powerful." Stiles sarcastically said as Derek wanted to make Liam believe what he said. Man, this is gonna be a long drive.

"Whatever you were gonna teach me... I think you better start." Liam groans and his eyes started to glow.

"Liam, you with me? We have a mantra that we use. You repeat it, you focus on the words. It's like meditating. You say the words until you feel control coming back to you." Derek told him.

"Okay. Okay, okay! What are the words?" Liam yelled at him.

"Okay, look at the triskelion. See the symbol? I have a tattoo on my back, it's the same thing. Each spiral means something."

"Alpha, Beta, Omega." I whispered,

"It represents the idea that we can always rise to one and fall back to another. Betas can become Alphas."

"Alphas can become Betas."

"Can Alphas become Omegas?" Liam asked Derek.

"All you have to do is say the three words. And with each one, you tell yourself you're getting calmer, more in control. Go ahead."

"Alpha, Beta..."

"Slower."

"Alpha... Beta... Omega..." Liam stops.
"Alpha... Beta... Omega..."

"Good. Say it again. Remember, every time you say the words, you're getting calmer."

"Alpha, Beta... Omega." He said slower.

"Say it again."

"Derek, I don't think the powerful talisman of self-control is working." Stiles said.

"Liam, say it again!" Derek yelled at him. "Liam!"

"Derek?" I said to him.

"I think we're gonna need to go a little faster." Derek yelled at Braeden.

"Keep going!"

"Liam! Liam..." I whispered as the triskelion didn't work on him."We're almost there. Keep focus! Derek, I don't think Alpha, Beta, Omega is resonating with him."

"You know any other mantras?" He yelled at me. I slowly rolled my eyes as I faced him.

"Yeah. I do." I looked at Liam. "Liam, Liam. What three things cannot long be hidden?" He growled and hissed at me. "Liam! Liam, look at me. What three things cannot long be hidden? What three things?"

"Sun... The moon... The truth." I smiled.

"That's it. Say it again." I told again.

"Sun, the moon... The truth."

"Derek? We're okay." Braeden told him.

"Sun... Moon... And the truth." Liam turned back to human. "I can't believe I did it. For a minute there, I thought I was gonna tear the three of you apart."

"Yeah. That would've made for an awkward ride home. So, thanks." I chuckled and looked at Stiles.

"Think you can bring the same level of control and strength inside La Iglesia?" Derek asked him.

"All right. We might actually be able to do this." Derek opens the van door and a Bersker pulled him out and stabbed him. Stiles pulled me out of the van, leaving me in shock.

"How bad is it?" Peter asked. Braeden runs to him.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. Just get to Scott. Just find him. We'll be right behind you. Go. Go!" Stiles grabs my hand and we walked. I heard Derek yell out my name.

"Hey, Juliet, hey. Save him." He as cough, I nodded and ran after Stiles.
