my eyes fluttered open i look around to see scott's bedroom. i raise my hand to my head due to the pounding coming from it.

a small pool of blood dripped onto my fingers causing me to groan. i sit up, walking into the bathroom.

i look in the mirror seeing the source of the bleeding. i walk to the towel rack, grabbing one before running it under the water and lightly dabbing it on my forehead.

i freeze as a loud bang comes from the shower. i slowly turn my head as i reach a trembling hand towards the shower-curtain, pulling it back.

i let out a harsh breath seeing liam tied up and tape around his mouth. "uhm." i stutter "i don't know what to say."

i close the curtain walking into scott's room, closing the door behind me a gaping expression clear on my face.

i sit on his bed, staring at the door as it opens a few minutes later. scott and stiles walked in holding a bag.

stiles' eyes met mine as he dropped the bag before rushing over, pulling me into a hug. actually he was more suffocating me. "thank god you're okay." he mumbled.

"it's fine, stiles. scott saved us, like he always does." i let out a breathy laugh, earning a chuckle from the two boys. "oh, why's liam taped up in your shower?"

my brother's eyes widen as his head turns to scott "i'm never letting you come up with a plan again."

"so you bit him?" scott clicks his tongue "yeah."

"and you kidnapped him?"

"yeah."

"and then you brought him here."

"i panicked!"

"this isn't going to end with us burying the peices of his body in the desert is it?" stiles claps his hands.

muffled cries came from the bathroom, more particularly the shower. "he's kidding!" i yell before mumbling "i think..."

"so what do we do?"

we brought him into scott's room, still tied up and put him on a chair. "liam, we're going to take the tape off your mouth. if you scream, it goes right back on."

stiles faved his finger around "if you talk quietly, it stays off. got it?"

he nodded his head, though his eyes only displayed rage.

the eldest boys both signalled to each other at the the same time to get someone to take the tape off.

"seriously?" i mutter, shaking my head and reaching to take the tape off of his mouth.

"okay, liam, 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 is an idiot.

"not really..." liam whispered under his breath.

"yeah, we don't understand either."

"that's good. maybe you should tell him." he nodded his head at scott.

"tell me what?" he exclaimed.

"liam..." he trailed off "what happened to you, what i did to you, which i had to do in order to save you, i-it's gonna change you."

"unless it kills you." stiles tilted his head to the side.

i hit him in the chest "shut up! you're freaking him out!"

"what?" liam breathed out, tears brimming his eyes and he started sobbing.

"uh oh," stiles pointed at him "is- is he crying?"

scott crouched down to his level "liam, it's okay. you're going to be alright. you're not going to die."

my brother mirrored scott's action "probably not."

"stop it." i whack the back of his head causing him to yelp. "just untie him."

they listened, reaching out and breaking the duck tape off his arms and body.

"we're sorry about that, really sorry." stiles mumbled running his hand over his mouth.

he turned around grabbing the chair before smashing it over the two boys.

i gasped as scott fell to the ground and stiles caught himself on the wall.

"liam, what the hell is your-" he was cut off as
liam's fist collided with his face.

his eyes flickered to me before his shoulder made contact with mine and he left.

i paused before walking out "liam wait!" i went to run after him but before i could i got shoved into a wall by stiles and scott as they tumbled out of the room.

"get him!"

they were all screaming as the two seniors ran at him. they rolled down the stairs, still yelling.

liam made a run for it as the two were grabbing each other saying that they had him.

"dumbasses." i whisper under my breath as i ran down the stairs and out the door. "liam!"

i saw him running away but he halted as he heard my yells.

i finally caught up to him panting heavily. "liam i-" the rain began to fall heavily and i tilted my head up to look at the sky.

he cut me off by yelling "no! stay away from me and tell your freak friends the same!"

as i watch him run further away i don't know why but i had a felling that i didn't want him to leave.

i hate that feeling.

i made it back to the house as stiles was coming out "hey kiddo, you alright?" he slings his arm around my shoulder.

i nod smiling up at him as we made our way
to the jeep. i close the passenger door as he started up the car.

i rest my head against the glass as i let my eyes close darkness surrounding me.

i was in the state where i wasn't quite asleep but i also wasn't awake, like i was aware of my surroundings.

the jeep halted and i was being carried into the house. i groan as i feel my body thrown to the floor. "sorry." stiles mumbled as he helped me up, "i fell.."

this caused me to roll my eyes "of course you did." he unlocked the door and without another word we went into our own rooms.

closing my door, i walked over to the closet picking out my pyjamas before collapsing onto the covers of my bed, drifting into a slumber.

i groan hearing the familiar sound of my alarm clock ringing.

i sit up, before finally removing the soft covers from my body. i find myself going towards the mirror, which hung on the wall at the end of my bed.

a sigh escapes my lips as i look at myself. the cut on my forehead evident as i run my fingers over it, reliving the memory of the night prior.

making my way towards my wardrobe and picking out a simple outfit i go into the bathroom. i turn on the shower before going in.

i feel the warm water dripping down my face as the cut begins to sting and i realise how much my body begins to ache.

i reach down to turn the water off and climb out immediately missing the warmth.

pulling my clothes on i crouch down, looking under the sink for my makeup bag. i decide to go basic, just using some mascara, concealer and lipgloss and finishing it off with brushing my teeth.

i make my way downstairs, finding stiles already waiting for me. "finally, you took ages."

i tool my eyes, slightly shoving him. "let's go then."

arriving at school, i notice the familiar face of the boy from my physics class. i run to catch up to him. "hey, mason, right?"

he turns around meeting my gaze "yeah, your from physics, valerie?"

i nod my head, confirming his thoughts, we begun talking about our classes for the day.

the doors open to the bell ringing, a sigh escaping my lips as i knew i had biology, which i didn't know anyone in.

i say my goodbyes to mason, who i began to become quite fond of. it was hard not to when he had such a bubbly personality.

just as i reached my class i hear yelling coming from down the hall, my natural instinct tells me to go see what's happening, and that what i do.

expecting some random fight i see it's my brother, scott, and liam. i internally groan before walking over, inserting myself into their talk.

"will you just listen for one second please?" scott's voice begged.

i was noticed by the group, stiles whispering to me to go back to class and me giving him the 'are you serious?' look.

"liam.." he began "we're brothers now." he sounded so serious and i couldn't help but stifle a laugh at the young boys confused face.

"what?"

"oh, god. that's.." my brother raised a hand, before running it over his face.

"what are you talking about? we just met and you bit me!" i bite my lip before placing my hand over my mouth, really trying not to laugh.

"the bite.." he stumbled over his words "the bite is a gift.." his statement sounded more like a question.

i gave him a questionable look, knowing that the bite was in fact not a gift but a curse.

"you, you, we're trying to help you, you little runt." stiles pointed an accusing finger at the freshman.

"by kidnapping me?" he raised his eyebrows, shifting on his feet.

"just to clarify, scott kidnapped you. okay?" he gestured his fingers between us two "we aided and abetted."

"hey!" i slap his chest "i didn't do anything, technically i was kidnapped too!"

"liam, i've gone through this before. somethings happening to you." he paused "something big."

"nothing's happening to me." he ripped his bandage off his arm "nothing!"

"well, shit." i mumble, he's already healed.
and with that he walked off, or rather stomped off.

ʚ♡ɞ

i'd just gotten my free period, i walk silently down the corridor seeing kira fall not so gracefully down the stairs.

i rush over to her, only to collide with another body.

liam's.

"are you ok?" he asks her, concern etched on his face.

"yeah, fine." she pushed her hair out of her face, with her perfectly manicured nails.

"i'm fine too, thanks for asking." i grumble, earning a side eye from liam.

"hey, do you wanna go to a party tonight?" kira asks, causing both our eyes to widen.

he nodded, as he told her his address before they both left, going opposite directions. i blink repetitively, making sure it was real.

what the fuck just happened?

i run after kira, catching up with her i tug her arm around to see me. "what was that?"

she furrowed her brows "what was what?" she laughed.

"that, with liam." i gesture to the place we were droids moments before.

she sighed "they asked me too invite him to a 'party', but it's just to get him to the lake house."

"right..." i trail off  "that sounds like fun." the sarcasm dripping from the words.

"oh, my , gosh. i just had a great idea." she says a smirk on her face "you should come with!"

"uh, no im good." i try to think of an excuse "stiles won't like that."

"c'mon!" she pleaded "i really don't want to be awkward on the car ride there with just the two of us. you'll be like a buffer."

"fine."

ʚ♡ɞ

i was sat in the backseat of kira's car, driving to lydia's lake house. sat beside me was liam, and kira was in the front driving.

the song 'this party by matt young' was playing quietly, making this less awkward than it wouldn't move been without it.

i hear heavy breathing coming from liam, i look over to see him look like he's going to wolf out.

" it's lydia martins lake house." kira tried starting a conversation "actually, it's her grandmother's lake house. but she's dead so it's okay."

she begun to ramble "i mean it's not okay that she's dead. unless she was in pain."

"can you turn the music down?" liam yelled causing me to jump.

"you want me to turn the music up?" she reached for the volume nob.

an obvious confused look was on my face, there's no need to yell, it was pretty low anyway.

it was silent for a while, until liam's phone buzzed. flinching, he picked it up looking at kira. "who'd you say was coming to this party?"

her eyes widened she looked back at me from the mirror. "uhm, everyone!" i say, making her sigh in relief.

nothing else was said for the car ride, an awkward silence lingered.

the familiar lake house came into view as she parked the red car next to scott's bike.

"where is everyone?" he questioned, stepping out of the car, looking around.

"uh, it's a small party?" she walked closer to the house.

my eyes widened noticing her mistake. he pulled a questionable face "she said everyone was coming."

"they are. they must be late!" i reach out linking him arm with mine, pulling him towards the building. "yay! party!" i mutter.

the doors open to reveal scott, lydia, malia and stiles. my eyes drift down to the table, seeing the chains.

liam turns to leave but kira closes the door before he can, mumbling a small apology.

he spins around locking eyes with stiles "what the hell is this?"

"think of it like an intervention. you have a problem, liam." scott cuts in "and were the only ones who can help."

he'd explained what everyone was, supernatural wise anyway.

"werewolf? werecoyote. banshee. fox?" liam went around the room, pointing each of them out.

"kitsune. but fox works." her voice sounding so sweet and understanding.

"what are you?" he eyed up stiles, giving him a scowl when he begun to stutter.

"uh, for a little while, i was possessed by an evil spirit." his hands never staying still as the waves around in the air. "it was very evil."

"what are you now?" he crossed his arms over his chest, looking unimpressed.

"better? um.." it was supposed to be a statement but it really wasn't convincing to be honest.

his eyes finally landed on me "what about you? what are you?"

"uh, i'm nothing. i never have been." i bite down on my bottom lip, noticing his jaw clench as he looks at the chains.

"those for me?" he reaches to touch one of the restraints but he was beat to it by malia.

"no, they're for me." her eyes began to glow their bright blue.

lid eyes frantically darted around the room, looking at everyone. he started taking a few steps back. "how'd you do that?"

"don't worry." scott got closer "you'll learn. but first you need to get through the full moon."

anger rose in his face "the moons already out." his breathing got heavier.

"and you're starting to feel something, aren't you?" everyone's eyes were on him.

"i feel like im surrounded by a bunch of psychotic nutjobs. you guys are out of your freaking minds!" his voice just got louder "i don't know how you did that eye thing and i don't care. i'm walking out the door right now."

he was cut short when his yelling turned into screams, he covered his ears dropping to the floor in agony.

"liam!" i was by his side in a second, trying to pry his hands away from his ears.

"did you tell someone about this?" scott questioned, coming closer. causing liam to back away on instinct.

he didn't get a response "liam! who'd you
tell?"

his eyes met mine as we lay on the floor "my friend, mason."

i sigh " i know him, we would have told everyone he knew. which is everyone."

scratching came from beneath us, looking down to see he had his claws out and was scratching.

lydia rushed over "the floors! get him off the floors!" she reached us when liam let out a growl. he was now full wolf.

i gasp, scrambling back away from him. "get him to the boathouse, now!"

next it was malia to wolf out. stiles leading her down to the basement.

this left me and lydia, "lyds, you're the best at throwing parties in the whole town!" i pull her towards the door "you've got this!"

the door opened to reveal a huge crowd, mason at the front of it "uh, are we in the right place?"

she manages to fake a smile "absolutely!" screams erupt from the crowd as they began piling in.

music blasted through the house, as people drank and danced. walking into the kitchen i see garet handing money to the guy that delivered the keg.

"you want a drink?" he nods his head towards me, a grin etched on his face.

i sigh "you know, why not?" he chuckled handing me a red solo cup, filled with beer.

i was dancing with some guy when mason came down the stairs. i walk over to him "hey mase! enjoying the party?"

"yeah, it's just that liam invited me, but i don't know where he is. do you?" a frown formed on his face.

"no, i haven't seen him since school.." i take another sip of beer.

"huh? he said he came here with you." he grabs his own cup and poured the alcohol in it.

"right, he did. must be the booze." i laughed it off and he joined.

"it's just weird. he wouldn't disappear like this, i think something happened."

"tell you what, i'll look for liam. you have fun and party, find yourself someone to dance with!" he nodded giving me a small thanks.

i rushed outside of the houses, whispering a few apologies as i squeezed between dancers.

i slightly stumbled, immediately regretting having as many drinks as i did.

i hear a smash from the boathouse, this made my pace pick up. i see a figure running through the woods.

without hesitation i run after them, due to the growling i narrow it down that it's most likely liam.

i yell his name as he ran faster. he halts, suddenly turning around tackling me to the floor.

i was pinned under him, his hands keeping my wrists either side of my head. "liam! stop!"

his claws dig into my wrists, drawing blood. if someone didn't get here soon that'd be the least of my problems.

"please!" i begged, tears stinging at the corner of my eyes. "scott!"

"what did they do to me?" his fangs blaring in my face "this is your fault!"

an arrow shot into the tree, a surprised yelp escaping from my lips. liam's screams echoed through t the woods before he ran.

i look up to see who my saviour was
"argent..."

i ran over to him, enveloping him into a hug.
"i missed you." his arm wrapped around me.

"i know, valerie." he lets out a sigh "i missed you too."

liams desperate yells could be heard not too far away. "where's scott?" argent looks down at me.

"i don't know, he was supposed to be with liam at the lake house." he pulls out from the embrace, making me instantly miss it.

"let's go find him, yeah?"

after a while of walking to the source of the prior yells. "how'd isaac doing? i haven't talked to him since that night, i miss him too."

when they both left for paris, it broke me. i'd grown quite close to isaac and when allison died he just left, it was sudden.

i didn't even get a goodbye.

"he misses you too, he regrets just leaving." he pulls his phone from his back pocket "here."

i furrow my brows "what is this?" gesturing to the phone number.

"it's isaac's." my eyes immediately shoot up and type the number into my phone sending a quick text.

'hey it's valerie. i miss you isaac, just wanted to check in and see if you maybe wanted to talk soon?'

i sigh hoping for a reply from the boy but not really expecting one.

we're stood behind a tree looking down at the other two werewolves.

"they can't see me like this. my mom, my stepdad." he began sobbing "i can't do this to them again."

"what do you mean again?" sympathy evident in his voice.

"i got kicked out of school." he looked up at him "and i deserved it. the way they looked at me when they saw what i did. to that car..."
his voice broke at the end.

"liam, it's okay."

"they can't see me like this!" he could hardly talk " like.. like-"

"like a monster?" scott finished for him, standing up "you're not a monster. you're a werewolf." his eyes glowed their bright red "like me."

we walked over to the two, scott and argent walked a bit away to 'talk privately' leaving me and liam alone.

his eyes glanced down at my bloody wrists, his eyes widening and guilt rushing over his face. "did- did i do that to you?"

i bite my lip "yeah," i quickly rush to find the words "but it's not your fault. you can't control it."

he didn't say anything, he just looked away from me. they eventually came back over, saying we should go back to the house.

the walk back was quiet, the only sound of leaves crunching or the wind rushing past.

the party was over by the time we got back, we all left however we came.

the house was silent, nobody was home. i sigh before going to my room and collapsing onto my bed not bothering to change or wash off the blood.

the phone buzzed and a message from an unknown number.

'hey val, sorry for how things ended. i miss you too i'd love to talk soon, let me know when you're next available!
