"I'm not sharing my basement." Malia says
"Actually, it's my basement." Lydia corrects, "And my mom noticed how you tore it up last time."
"All right, she's still learning." Stiles says rubbing Malia's shoulder
"But, we're going to use the boathouse for Liam. It's got support beams. We can chain him to one of them." Scott explains
"But how do we get him out to the lake house if he doesn't trust us?" Luisa asks from beside Anna
"I say if it keeps him from murdering someone we chloroform the little bastard and throw him in the lake." Stiles says
Malia raises her hand, "I'm in."
"Me too." Anna says
"We're not killing or kidnapping him." Scott says
"Then let's be smarter. We tell him there's a party and invite him." Lydia suggests
"So, you're going to ask out a freshman?" Stiles asks
"No, I'm done with teenage boys." Lydia scoffs, "But, if we're playing a trick on someone, we'll have to use the trickster."
Everyone looks over to Kira whose eyes widen, "Who? Me? No way. Not me."
"Yes, you. You know what they call a female fox? A vixen." Lydia smiles
"Me?"
"And I can talk to his sister and get her to come." Luisa says
"You think so?" Scott asks
"Are we sure that's even a good idea?" Stiles says
"There's no way she doesn't know that something is up with her brother." Anna says
"And she saw us on the rooftop the other night." Scott says
"I can try." Luisa shrugs, "As long as Kira does."
Kira sighs shakily as they look over to her again. Lydia nods, "You can do it, Kira. Be a vixen."

It was nearing the end of the day and Luisa had been looking all over for Adrian. So far, the two hadn't had any classes together. Just as Luisa was about to give up hope, she found the blonde sitting at one of the tables outside.
She approached the girl with a smile, "Hey."
Adrian looks up, "Hi."
"I'm Luisa." She says holding her hand out
The blonde frowns, but shakes her hand, "Adrian."
"So, I know we don't know each other super well or at all," Luisa says as she sits opposite of Adrian, "but I was wondering if you'd wanna come to a little party my friends and I are throwing."
"Seriously?" Adrian frowns
"Yeah." Luisa nods, "At the start of the year, I had just moved back after being gone for a long time and didn't know if any of my friends would even remember me or care that I was back. I just wanna make sure that you won't have to experience it."
She watches as Adrian takes a second to think over it before she nods, "Okay, yeah. Sure."
"Great." Luisa smiles, "Um, can I see your phone?"
Adrian picks her phone up from the table and hands it over. Luisa takes a few seconds to type her number in before handing back to her, "Okay, I put my number in and texted myself. I'll text you later with the details, okay?"
"Okay."
"Cool." Luisa smiles as she stands, "See you later."

Scott pulls into the driveway at the same time that Luisa and Anna are getting out of the latter's car. The three walk over to Stiles, Lydia, and Malia who had been waiting outside for them.
"I just talked to Kira. She's on her way. She said it's all going fine." Scott says
"It's not that. I have to tell you something." Stiles says, "I asked around about Liam. I know why he got kicked out of his last school."
"This is going to be bad, isn't it?" Luisa sighs
"He kind of got into it with one of his teachers. And..." Stiles says pulling out his phone, "The kid's got some serious anger issues."
"How serious?" Scott asks
"Well, that's his teacher's car." He says turning the phone to them, "After he took a crowbar to it."
"Holy shit." Anna chuckles as Luisa eyes widen

Luisa's heart raced as the door opened. Liam stepped inside with Kira right behind him. His face dropped as he finally noticed the teens standing right before him. He turned around and Kira quickly closed and locked the door, "Sorry."
Liam clenches his jaw as he turns back to the others, "What the hell is this?"
"Think of it like an intervention." Stiles says, "You have a problem, Liam."
"And we're the only ones that can help." Scott says
•••
"Werewolves?" Liam questions pointing between Anna and Scott. Scott nods while Anna simply shrugs before Liam turns to Malia, "Werecoyote."
Malia nods as Liam turns to Lydia, "Banshee."
Lydia smiles before Liam turns around to Kira, "Fox?"
"Kitsune. But fox works." Kira smiles
"What are you two?"
"Uh, for a little while, I was possessed by an evil spirit. It was very evil." Stiles says
"What are you now?"
"Better. Um..." Stiles stammers as he looks toward Luisa
Luisa smiles awkwardly, "We're human."
The teens go silent at a knock at the door. Luisa looks over at Kira, "That's Adrian."
Liam's head whips around, "My sister?"
"Yes."
"What? Why is she here?"
Kira opens the door and Adrian steps in with a smile which quickly falls upon seeing everyone standing around, "Liam? What are you doing here?"
"I was asking the same thing."
"There's supposed to be a party." Adrian says hesitantly, "Although looking now, it's a pretty depressing party."
"There's a lot to explain." Scott says, "To the both of you."
Liam looks towards the table noticing the chains, "Are those for me?"
"No, they're for me." Malia says as her eyes shine blue. Adrian's eyes widen.
"How did you do that?" Liam asks
"You'll learn. But first, you need to get through the full moon." Scott nods
"Full moon?" Adrian frowns
"The moon's already out." Liam says
"And you're starting to feel something, aren't you?" Scott says
"I feel like I'm surrounded b 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! If any of you try to stop me, I swear to God, I'm gonna-"
Liam screams out while holding his hands to his ears. Adrian rushes over to him, "Liam."
"What's wrong? Liam?" Scott asks
"You don't hear that?" Liam grunts as he falls to his knees
The teens look over as lights shine through the windows. Multiple cars pull into the driveway. Anna turns to Liam, "Did you tell someone about this?"
"My friend Mason." Liam grunts as Kira and Luisa walk over to the window, "You said it was a party."
"Who did Mason invite?" Stiles asks
"Everyone." Luisa says. Liam's claws come out as he continues grunting.
Adrian steps back, "What the hell?"
"The floors! Get him off the floors!" Lydia tries
Liam roars out making her back away quickly. Scott looks up, "We need to get him to the boathouse. Now!"
Kira and Scott help Liam stand and quickly walk him toward the back.
"Wait-" Adrian tries
Luisa steps in front of her, "No, no, no."
"What's going on with him?"
"I'll explain everything, okay?" Luisa says softly, "I promise."
"Uh!" Malia grunts, "Stiles..."
"Yeah." He says. Malia turns to him and roars, "Hey... Okay, basement. Now. Now."
"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 says
"What?" Lydia exclaims, "Me, obviously."
"Okay, then throw a party." Anna says as if it were obvious before following Luisa and Adrian upstairs as Stiles and Malia make their way to the basement. Leaving Lydia in the living room. She scoffs before taking a deep breath and pulling the door open.
"Hey. Uh, are we in the right place?" A boy asks
"For the party?" His friend asks
"Absolutely."
