"What the hell is going on?" Rayne asks
"Yeah, I told my dad everything I could-" Stiles says
"But you didn't tell him about Liam?" Scott asks.

"You barely told me about Liam! What did you do with him, anyway?" Stiles asks
"He's upstairs..." Scott says uneasy
"Doing what?" Stiles asks.

"Lying down..."

🪐

Scott pulls back the shower curtain to reveal Liam wrapped in duct tape laying in the bath
"Fucking hell." Rayne puts her head in her hand and Stiles pulls it back covering him as he muffled screams.

The three sat on the bed in silence before Stiles spoke up
"So, you bit him?"
"Yeah..." Scott says.

"And you kidnapped him?" Rayne says
"Yeah..." Scott says
"And brought him here?" Stiles says
"I panicked!" Scott exclaims.

"Yup."
"We can see that." Rayne says
"This isn't going to end with us burying the pieces of his body out in the desert, is it?" Stiles asks and they heard Liam cry.

"As a reminder, this is why I always come up with the plans! Your plans suck!" Stiles says
"I know-- which is why I called you. So, what do we do?" Scott asks and Stiles sighs.

They tied Liam to a chair as they stood in front of him
"Oh yeah this is way better." Rayne says
"Liam, we're going to take the tape off your mouth. If you scream, it goes right back on. If you talk quietly, it stays off. Got it?" Stiles says to Liam and he nods.

"Okay." He says and rips off the tape
"Stiles!" Rayne hits the back of his head
"Ow! Okay, Liam... Now, you've seen a lot of confusing things tonight. And more confusing things are going to happen because of the confusing things that happened tonight. Do you understand?" Stiles asks.

"Not really..." Liam says
"Good. That's good." Stiles says
"I don't understand, either..." Scott says.

"Maybe you should tell him." Rayne tells Scott
"Tell me what?" Liam asks
"Liam... What happened to you... what I did to you... which I had to do to save you? It's going to change you..." Scott says.

"Unless it kills you." Stiles interjects
"Shouldn't have said that." He says
"What?" Liam asks.

"Uh... Uh-oh. Oh-oh... Is he... Is he crying?" Stiles asks
"Oh god he is." Rayne says and walks into the bathroom and kneels in front of Liam and wipes his tears
"What the fuck are you doing?" Stiles asks.

"Being nice. Other than you two." She says and Scott bends down to his level
"Liam, it's okay. You're going to be all right. You're not going to die." Scott says
"Probably not..." Stiles says.

"Stop it!" They both say
"Okay, possibly not..." He says
"Would you please just help me untie him?" Scott says and they break the tape.

"Liam, are you okay?" Scott asks
"We're sorry about that. We're really sorry-" Stiles says but then Liam hits him with the chair
"Liam, what the hell is your-" Stiles asks but then Liam punches him in the face and turns to Rayne.

"Do that to me and I snap you like toothpick." She says and he nods and runs out the door
"Get him!" Stiles shouts and him and Scott tackle Liam when they fall down the stairs
"Leg! I got him! I got him! I got him! I got him!" Stiles shouts and Rayne rushes to the stairs to see him grabbing Scott's foot.

"Your plan sucked, too!" Scott says.

Rayne's outfit

🪐

Rayne walks out of her room to see her dad standing in the doorway of Stiles' room
"Is that too tight?" She hears Stiles asks and she stands beside him to see him handcuffing Malia's wrist
"No." Malia says.

"Oh god." Rayne covers her mouth laughing as her dad just stands there and Stiles turns
"Hey, um... that's... this is not what you think at all." He says
"I don't even wanna know." Their dad says before walking away as Rayne laughs.

"Good morning to you too." She says and walks off.

🪐

Stiles and Rayne turn a corner to see Liam and Scott not far behind him
"Liam, hey!" Stiles shouts
"We need to talk-" Scott says
"No, you need to back the hell up, okay? Both of you." Liam says.

"Uh- why not Rayne?" Stiles asks offended
"Because she let me go and she was nice." He says
"Told you." She says.

"Can you just listen for one second? Please?" Scott says and he glances at Rayne and Stiles who nod
"Liam... we're brothers now." He says
"Oh, God, that's..." Stiles mumbles as Rayne covers her mouth.

"What are you talking about? We just met, and you bit me." Liam says
"The Bite... the Bite is a gift." Scott says
"Scott, stop! Please, stop." Rayne and Stiles say.

"You! You, we're trying to help you, you little runt!" Stiles says
"By kidnapping me?" Liam asks
"Just to clarify, Scott kidnapped you, okay? I aided and abetted." He says.

"Liam, I've gone through this before. Something's happening to you-- something big." Scott says
"Nothing's happening to me." Liam says and then rips off the bandage to reveal nothing.

"Nothing."

🪐

The pack stand at the buses thinking of a plan
"I'm not sharing my basement." Malia says
"Actually, it's my basement, and my mom noticed how you tore it up last time." Lydia says.

"All right, she's still learning..." Stiles defends his girlfriend
"But we're going to use the boathouse for Liam. It's got support beams-- we can chain him to one of them." Scott says
"But how do we get him out to the lake house if he doesn't trust us?" Kira asks.

"I say, if it keeps him from murdering someone, we chloroform the little bastard and throw him in the lake." Stiles says
"I'm in!" Malia raises her hand
"We're not killing or kidnapping him!" Scott objects.

"Then let's be smarter. We tell him there's a party and invite him." Lydia says
"So, you're going to ask out a freshman?" Stiles asks
"No-- I'm done with teenage boys." Lydia says.

"Does he like anyone we may know?" Rayne asks and Scott and Stiles turn to her
"Oh no! No! Absolutely not!" She shakes her head
"Please." Scott says.

"No! The only reason he likes me is because I let him go after your dumbass kidnapped him."
"Actually he trying to impress you... I heard him tell his stepdad that." Scott says
"Fuck sake!" She groans.

"Come on. It's just one little favour and you'll be fine." Lydia says brushing out Rayne's hair
"Fine." She sighs
"Okay! Now open that flannel and we are open for business." She smiles and Rayne rolls her eyes.

🪐

The bell rings and Liam walks out of class talking to his friend when he sees Rayne walk down the steps and towards him
"Hi, Liam. I was just looking for you." She smiles
"Really?" Him and his friend says.

"I'm Rayne, you?" She turns to his friend
"Mason." He says in shock
"Well..." She then turns to Liam.

"There's a party tonight. I was wondering if you wanted to come." She says
"Um- ye-"
"Yes. He would totally like to come." Mason says.

"Great. Here's my number. Text me your address." She smiles
"Bye." She turns to walk away
"Yeah, um, bye." He says and she walks to the group.

"I hate you all."

🪐
Rayne's outfit

🪐

Rayne knocks on his door and the door immediately opens to reveal Liam
"Hi." He says
"Hi." She smiles.

"Y-you look beautiful." He says
"Thank you. You look good too." She says
"By the way. I don't have a car so my friend is our ride to the party." She tells him.

"Okay." Then suddenly the door opens and Kira waves
"Hi." And Liam waves back then they get into the car and start to drive.

🪐

"It's Lydia Martin's lake house." Kira says
"Actually, it's her grandmother's lake house. But, she's dead, so it's okay." She says and then her eyes widen
"I mean, it's not okay that she's dead-- unless she was in pain..." Kira says.

"Can you turn the music down?" Liam asks
"You want me to turn the music up?" Kira asks turning it up
"Who'd you say was coming to this party?" Liam asks Rayne.

"Umm... Everyone!" She smiles.

🪐

They get out the car and walk to the house
"Where is everyone?" Liam asks
"They're here... It's a small party..." Kira says
"You said everyone was coming." Liam says to Rayne.

"They are! They're late, and we're early, so we better hurry!" Rayne says
"Yay, party...!" Kira says and they walk into the house and Rayne locks the door
"Sorry." Kira says.

"What the hell is this?" Liam asks
"Think of it like an intervention. You have a problem, Liam-" Stiles says
"And we're the only ones that can help." Scott says.

🪐

"Werewolves?" Liam points to Rayne and Scott who nod
"Werecoyote?" He points to Malia
"Banshee?" Pointing to Lydia then points to Kira who is behind him.

"Fox?" He asks
"Kitsune. But 'fox' works." Kira shrugs
"What are you?" He asks pointing to Stiles.

"Uh, for a little while, I was possessed by an evil spirit... It was very evil..." He says
"What are you now?" Liam asks
"Better?" Stiles says.

"Are those for me?" Liam asks looking at the chains
"No, they're for me." Malia says flashing her blue eyes
"How did you do that?" He asks.

"You'll learn. But first, you need to get through the full moon." Scott says
"The moon's already out." Liam points out
"And you're starting to feel something, aren't you?" Scott says.

"I feel like I'm surrounded by a bunch of psychotic nutjobs! You guys are out of your freaking minds! I don't know how you did that eye-thing, and I don't care-- I'm walking out the door right now, and if any of you try to stop me, I swear to God, I'm gonna-" He shouts before leaving then he holds his head and kneels to the ground.

"What's wrong? Liam?" Scott asks
"You don't hear that?" He asks
"Did you tell someone about this?" Rayne asks.

"My friend, Mason..." He says
"You said it was a party..."
"Who did Mason invite?" Stiles asks.

"Everyone." Kira says
"The floors! Get him off the floors!" Lydia says as Liam's claws come out
"We need to get him to the boathouse-- now!" Scott shouts.

"Stiles...?" Malia says
"Yeah?" Stiles turns to see Malia growling
"Hey! Okay, basement. Now. Now!" He shouts and leads her to the door.

"What am I supposed to do with the hordes gathering outside the door?" Lydia asks
"Lydia, who throws the best parties in Beacon Hills?" Stiles asks
"What? Me! Obviously!" Lydia says.

"Okay! Then throw a party." He says
"I'll come back I just need to make sure Scott is okay dealing with Liam." She says and Lydia nods.

🪐

"How we doing?" Rayne asks to see Liam unconscious and Kira holding a paddle
"Oh, God! I didn't kill him, did I?" Kira asks
"No, he's out cold." Scott says.

"Well in that case... I'm going to check on Lydia." She says rushing back to the house.
"Text me if something happens!" She shouts
"We will!"

🪐

"Lydia!" Rayne shouts
"Lydia!" She says
"Oh god." She says.

She continues to manoeuvre her way through the freshmen she knocks into a hard chest
"Sorry." She says and looks up to see a blonde guy towering over her
"You don't look like a freshman." She says.

"Really? I thought this party was for everyone and you don't look like one either."
"That's because I'm a junior. My friend is the hostess of this party. Though there was a mixup of how many people were coming." She says.

"I'm Brett Talbot." He holds out his hand and she takes his hand
"I-" Rayne then gets a message from Scott
"Need to go I am so sorry." She says and rushes off.

🪐

Rayne runs through the forest chasing after Scott who is chasing after Liam
"Liam!" Scott shouts
"Liam, wait! Stop!" He continues before Liam tackles.

"What did you do to me?" He shouts as he pins Scott to a tree
"Liam..."
"This is your fault! It's all your fault! THIS IS YOUR FAULT!" He shouts but then a flash from an arrow makes him flinch back and run away.

"How did you know?" Scott asks
"I got your text." Argent says
"How did you know we were here though?" Rayne asks.

"He had help." Rayne looks behind him to see
"Lahey!" She stands up and runs into his arms making him nearly fall
"Yes yes it's me." He says.

"I missed you so much!" She gleams and hugs him tighter.

🪐

"There's a clearing just north of here. All you have to do is corral him there-- the rest is taken care of." Argent says
"What are you going to do?" Scott asks
"He's your Beta, Scott. The better question is... what are you going to do?" He says.

"He won't listen to me." Scott says
"He will if you start using your own words." Argent says
"Yeah instead of Derek's. He literally said 'the bite is a gift' and 'we're brothers now'." Rayne says turning to Isaac and who chuckles and then they hear him yell.

"Here. Go." He says and Scott turns to Rayne
"I'll meet up with you." She says and he runs towards the yell.

🪐

"They can't know about this. My mom, my stepdad... I can't do this to them again." Rayne hears as they closer to Scott and Liam
"What do you mean, 'again?'" Scott says
"I got kicked out of school... and I deserved it. The way they looked at me, when they saw what I did to that car..." He says.

"Liam, it's okay-" Scott says
"They can't see me like this. Like... Like..." Liam says
"Like a monster?" Scott asks and Liam lowers his head.

"You're not a monster. You're a Werewolf-- like me." He says glowing his red eyes.
