Talia Louise Dunbar!" John yelled through the door to his step daughters bedroom door for the second time that morning. "Are you up yet?"
"Yeah, yeah, i am getting ready."
The next thing John heard was soft snoring coming from inside her room and he let out a sigh as he opened the the door. When he stepped inside, he sees Talia on her bed, snoring away like she didn´t have a care in the world. John smiles as a plan formed inside his head and he walked over to stand beside her bed and he bowed down so he could whisper into her ear.
"Did you that they are closing the Starbucks store down town?" John said as he moved away as he sees Talia´s opening her eyes.
"What do you mean it is closing!" She yelled out as she sat up in her bed as she looked at him with a shocked look on her face, but she felt back down on her bed as she felt all the blood rush to her head.
"Ow." She rubbed a hand down her face as she turned her head to see her stepdad standing beside her bed with a smile on his face.
"Sometimes i really hated you." Talia said as she pulled the blanked over her head.
"I love you to." John said as he leaned forwards as he pulled the blanked down her head. "But you need to get ready for school."
"No." Talia said as she pulled as she tried to pulled the blanked out of his hand cause she was so not ready for school all she wanted was to hide away from the rest of the world.
"It is your brothers first day at Beacon hill high school so i want you to show him around, okay?"
Talia let out a sigh as laid back down on the bed as she rubbed a hand over her eyes." He is going to be fine and beside he has Mason too."
"You still getting does headaches?" John asked with a worried look as he made her sit up so he could look her in the eyes and he didn´t like what he was seeing as he sees her eyes narrowing as the came into contact with the sunlight.
"It´s nothing i can´t handle." She said with a smile on her face.
"I want you to by the hospital after school so i can have you checked out." John told her."
"It´s nothing i can´t handle."She said as she moved off the bed and walked over to her dresser to find something to wear.
"I want you to come to me if the headache gets worse."
Talia turned around and she had her mouth open, but she closed it quickly as she finds John pointing a finger at her.
"I mean it Talia."
"Okay, okay i promise."
"Good." John said with a fake smile showing on his face cause he know she was not going to tell him, but he need to believe that she would come to him if things got worse cause he knew that his wife and stepson was really scared that they were going to lose her after what happened last year.
John walked down the hall and he stopped by Liam´s bedroom door to see the younger boy getting ready for school and he can see by the wait Liam was biting at his over lip that he was nervous so John hated that he had to but more on the kid, but he need to know if Talia´s headaches were getting worse.
"Hey." John said as he walked inside Liam´s bedroom.
Liam, turned around to see his stepdad standing there with a worried look on his face." What´s up?" Liam asked as he placed his backpack down on the bed.
"i would like it if you would have an eye on Talia." John asked his stepson.
"She is still getting the headaches?" Liam asked.
"Yeah and i would like it if you would tell me if she as some at school."
"Yeah, sure." Liam told his stepdad with a fake smile on his face to mask the fear he was feeling deep inside by known that Talia would still be sick.
"Good... and Liam?"
"Yeah?"
"Have a good day at school." John said with a smile as he turned and walked out of the room.
Down the hall. Talia was pulling her favorite marvel T-shirt on and she finished the look of with a black blazer before she walked over and sat down on the bed so she could lace her doctor martin high boots, when she heard knocking on her bedroom door.
"Come in!" She yelled as she finished lacing her boot.
She turned her head towards the door as she heard it being opened and she sees Liam walking inside the room and she can see from the look on his face that John most have talked to him.
"I am fine." She said with a soft smile on her face." There is not need to worry." Talia said, turning her body towards the night stand so she could take the hairband so she could pull her hair into a high ponytail and as she did she could still feel Liam´s eyes on her.
"So are you ready for your first day?" She asked hoping to get his mind on something else and she could see by the look in his eyes that it had worked cause his eyes when from worried to scared." Liam-"
"I just don´t want to disappoint them again." Liam said as he dropped his backpack on the floor beside her bed as he sat down on it.
"You wont." Talia sat down beside him and she took his hand into her on and she moved their joined hand towards her lips as she placed a kiss on the back of his hand." You have to have a little more faith in yourself, like me." She said with a smile on her face, but the smile left her face as she sees the look he has on his face.
"What?" Talia asked as she raised her eyebrow at him.
"You always see the best in me even when others can´t." Liam said with a sad smile on his face as he looked down at their joined hands.
"That is because i am your sister and i know you better then anyone else." She said and she let out a sad sigh as she sees the tears that is starting to form in the corner of his eyes.
"Hey. What happened is in the past and we can´t chance what we have done, we can only move forward and hope thing will bet better."
"You really believe that?"
"I believe in you." Talia said as she moved of the bed as she walked over to her desk so she could take her handbag that was hanging on the chair." Say hi to Mason for me." She yelled as she walked out of her bedroom, leaving Liam alone in her bedroom.
Later that same day at Beacon high school. Talia ran down the hallway towards the boys locker room, she had forgotten that Liam was trying out for the lacrosse team and she came to a hold just outside the boys locker room and she sees the door was open so she walked inside, looking for Liam and she smiled as she sees Liam standing by a locker, but a frown found it way onto her face as she sees Scott McCall and Stiles Stilinski where standing there on each side of him, she leaned against some of the lockers as she waited to see what was going on.
"Yeah, but not a single shot got past you." She heard Stiles saying to Liam.
"Yeah, i was the goalie." She heard Liam saying saying and she could not help but smile cause he had always been so proved of the fact that he had been made the goalie on his old team.
"Have you guys ever played the game before?" Liam asked with a raised eyebrow.
"You are a freshman, right." Scott asked as he quickly looked over at Stiles before looking back at Liam.
"Yeah." Liam said not understanding what that had to do with anything.
"But you weren´t here last semester?" Stiles asked as he folded his arms across his chest as he waited for Liam to answer him, even do he already knew the answer to his own question.
Talia didn´t like where this conversion were heading when she heard Liam telling the two boys that he had been a student at Devenford prep and Talia´s eyes narrowed as she sees Scott leaning his head to the side, like he was listen to something else as Liam talked.
"You transferred?" Scott asked as he listen to the sound of Liam´s heartbeat.
"Yeah." Liam said as he looked between the two boys.
"You got kicked out, didn´t you?" Scott asked as he looked from Stiles and back at Liam.
"Oh, hell." Talia said as she rubbed a hand across her face and she looked back at the tree boys in time to see Liam had made a fist with his hand and Talia knew it was a sign that he was getting angry.
Liam let out a snort as he looked between Stiles and Scott." Kicked out or transferred, what do you guys care. I came here to play Lacrosse, the team could use a few good players, right?"
"No, no. We don´t need any more players." Stiles said with a snort as he looked towards Scott, hoping that he would back him up.
"Actually, we could sort of use a couple." Scott said as he looked towards Stiles with a sorry look on his face.
Stiles look back at Scott what a what the hell look on his face before he turned on Liam." Okay, have did you get this good . Have you always been this good?" Stiles asked as he raised his finger so he could point it at Liam." Or did it suddenly happen once over night? Have you been out in the woods-"
Talia knew it was time to step in cause what ever was going on was freaking her out."He learned it from or stepdad."
Liam nodded his head at his sister as Stiles and Scott turn around to see Talia Dunbar leaning against the lockers behind them.
"Talia! Hey." Stiles said with a nervous smile on his face as he ran a hand down the back of his neck as he quickly looked towards Scott, who shook his head with a confused look on his own face cause he had not heard anyone inside the locker room.
"Stiles." Talia said with a smile on her face cause she remembered when she had meet him last year and he was still acting like a nervous rack when ever he would run in to her and she found it kind of cute.
"What...what are you doing in the boys locker room?"
"I am just wondering why the two of you." She said as she waved her hand between him and Scott." Are harassing my brother?"
"Your brother!?" Both boys asked as the looked between her and Liam." He is your brother?" Stiles asked as he pointed a finger over at Liam.
"Yeah." Talia said with a smile on her face." You coming?" She asked as she looked over at Liam.
"Yeah, yeah." Liam said as he bowed down to take is gym bag into his hand as he looked towards Stiles and he raised an eyebrow as he sees the way he is looking at his sister. Liam swing the gym bag over his shoulder hitting Stiles in the face with the bag as he walked past the two boys.
Talia turned her head to the side as she sees Liam walking past her and she turned back to find Stiles and Scott staring at her and she bit down on her lower lip as she walks towards Stiles, who swallowed cause he didn´t know what she was going to do.
"He is just that good." She said as she slapped him a couple of times on the arm as she looked over at Scott before she turned and walked out of the boys locker room, leaving both boys with a shocked look on their faces.
"They new lacrosse player is Talia Dunbar´s brother!" Stiles said as he kept his eyes on the door she had just walked out of.
"It looks like it." Scott said as he as well kept his eye on the door, but it was for a different reason. He could not understand why he had not smelled her inside the locker room and he need to know why.
Later on that say day. Talia were sitting on the bleachers as they watched Liam try out for the lacrosse team and Talia let a laugh fall from her lips as she sees her friend Amanda with a dreamy look on her face as she watches Liam running laps around the field.
"You do know he is only 16, right?" Talia told Amanda as she reach her hand inside her hand bag and took out a pill bottle and opened it and placed two pills into the palm of her hand.
"I know, but-" Amanda stopped what she was going to say as she sees Talia putting some pills into her mouth and washing them down with a bottle of water." Are you sure you are okay?" Amanda asked as she looked at Allie before looking back at Talia.
"Yeah, why?" Talia asked as she put the pill bottle back inside the hand bag.
"Cause it is the second time to day." Allie said with a worried look on her own face cause she had known Talia since they were kids so she knew what had been going on over the past years with Talia and her health.
"It is just a little headache." Talia let out a sigh as she sees the look that was bast between her two friends." Guys i am fine... Oh, look." She said as she pointed her finger down at the field where the boys had just finished doing their laps.
Amanda quickly turned her head towards the field and she let out a deep sigh, making Talia and Allie let out a laugh as they see Amanda´s head were following the path of where ever Liam was going.
"I don´t care if he is 16, he is so hot." Amanda said as she placed her elbows onto her knees as she rested her face in between the palms of her hands.
Down at the field Scott were running towards Stiles to help him back on his feet as he had falling down on the grass as he tried to catch his breath.
"I got ya." Scott said as he moved his arms around Stiles to help him get back onto his feet.
"Who came in first?" Stiles asked in between breaths and he turns his head towards Scott is looking and he sees Liam is doing push ups on the field like the had not just been running laps around the field.
"He isn´t human."Stiles said as he were still trying to catch his breath." What is he? Like a were-cheetah? Dose it even exist? Is that even a thing?" Stiles asked.
"I thing he is just that good." Scott said as he looked at Liam who were still doing push ups.
"I am gonna puke, take me somewhere." Stiles said as he slapped Scott on the shoulder.
"Come on." Scott said as moved them off the field and behind the bleachers so Stiles could puke.
Talia looked up from the book she was reading when she heard someone call out her name and she smiled as she sees Liam running towards her." What´s up super star?"
"Do you have some water?"Liam asked as he nodded his head towards the two girls that were sitting beside her on the bleachers.
"Sure." She said as she reach her hand into her hang bag and pulled out the bottle of water and gave it to him.
"Thanks." Liam said with a smile as he drank from the bottle." When he had emptied the whole bottle he gave it back to her." Ladies." Liam said with a smile as he turned and ran back towards the other boys.
"I bet he looks good na-"
"Stop!" Talia said waving her hands towards Amanda."I don´t want to know your dirty thoughts about my brother, that is just wrong on so many levels." She said as she looks back towards the filed to see the boys had lined up to shoot against the goalie and the first one up is Stiles and he threw the ball and missed and the other boys laughed at him and a sad feeling all of the sudden ran through her body and she didn´t know where that feeling where coming from, but the through were pushed to the side as she sees it was Liam´s turn.
"Go, Liam!" She yelled as she clapped her hands together.
"I really hate that kid." Stiles said as he sees Liam nodding his head towards Talia before he take his shoot.
"He is really that good and the team could use a few good players and do you really hate him or is it because Talia is cheering him on and not you?" Scott asked Stiles with a raised eyebrow.
"I am going to stop you right there." Stiles said as he held out a hand towards Scott." I have a really hot girlfriend." Stiles said as he turned and pointed his hand towards the bleachers where Malia were sitting beside Kira."
"Are you sure?" Scott asked him with a smile showing on his face cause ever since he had known Stiles he had been haven a thing for Lydia and then last year Talia had started and Stiles had been following her around like a lost puppy and then the whole thing with void had happened and Stiles had meet Malia again at Eichen house and the had started to date shortly there after.
Stiles shook his head cause he knew what Scott was trying to do and two could play that game, Stiles through and he turned around and pointed his finger towards Liam." But what dose matter is that the team might be getting a new team captain."
Scott, quickly turned towards Liam to see the other boys were congratulating him and Scott didn´t like what he was seeing." Hell, no." Scott said as he put his helmet back on and ran past Stiles and towards the start line so he could take his shoot.
Stiles turned his head back to Talia, who were laughing along side her friends and he shook his head as he looked to his right to see Malia walking to Kira." I have a girlfriend and she is into you so don´t blow it up." Stiles told himself.
"Nice going McCall." He heard one of the boys saying and Stiles turned around as he heard the other boys staring to laugh." Hey, Garrett." Stiles said as he turned his head towards a boy with dirty-blond hair. "Shut up!"
"That was luck!" Talia heard a girls voice yell out and she turned her head down the bleachers to see the voice belonged to Malia Tate." Do-over!" She yelled.
"Sweetheart, there is no do-overs. This is practice."The coach said as he turned to look at Malia.
"Ten bucks on Scott and Stiles." She yelled.
"Bitch!" Talia said with an angry look on her face as she stood up on the bleachers as well and she smiles as she sees Malia turning her head towards them.
"Talia, don´t." Allie begged cause she knew that look on Talia´s face at in meant trouble was soon going to follow.
"2o bucks on Liam." She said as she folded her arms across her chest as she sat back down on the bleachers.
"I take both of your actions." The coach yelled as he pointed a finger between the two girls before he turned back and pointed his finger at Liam." You get back in there Dunbar."
Liam looked towards Talia with a what the hell are you doing look before he put his helmet back on and ran back onto the field.
"You are playing with fire." Amanda sang as she looked back to see Malia looking at Talia with a pissed of look on her face.
"On one messes with my brother." Talia said as she turned her head towards the field in time to see Liam grabbing the ball of the ground with his lacrosse stick as Stiles and Scott stood in the middle of the field blocking his path.
"Go, Liam!" She yelled as she sees him getting ready to make his move and for a few turns this are going great, but on the last shoot Liam is about to make, all of the sudden Scott is blocking his way and Liam moved around him, but Scott was faster and the next thing anyone sees is Liam flying over Scott shoulder and landing on the grass as he let out a cry of pain.
"Liam!" Talia yelled as he runs down the bleachers and towards her brother that is laying on the field crying out in pain.
"Don´t move. Don´t touch him!" The couch yelled as he runs towards the field as well.
"I am okay, coach." Liam said." I am all right." He tried to stand, but he let out a hiss as he fall back down on, only to have Scott and Stiles grab him before he can hit the grass.
"Liam!" Talia yelled as she stopped in front of him with a worried look on her face as she sees him trying to support his weight on the other leg as he held his right arm close to his chest.
"What the hell is the matter with you McCall!" She yelled as she turned around and pushed Scott away from her brother.
"Talia, i am fine." Liam said as he tried to calm his sister down.
"The hell you are." She said as she turned to look at him.
"I think we better take him to see the nurse." Stiles said as he looked towards Scott.
"I will take him." Talia said as she moved an arm around Liam waist to help him stand better and she felt him move his arm around her neck." You two have done enough." She said as she looked between the two boys." Come one, Liam." Talia said as she help him limp off the field.
"What the hell happened?" Talia asked as they walked inside the school and towards the nurses office.
"What?"
"You had it and-"
"I don´t what happened he just came out of nowhere." Liam told her.
And hour later. Talia pulled her car into the parking lot of the hospital and she let a sigh fall from her lips as she sees Stiles jeep pulling into the space beside them.
"Great, just great." Talia said as she sees the boys getting out of the jeep." What are you two doing here?" Talia asked as she sees Stiles quickly looking for Scott for help.
"We, just wanted to see how, Liam was doing?" Scott said as he pointed his hand towards Liam, who were limping towards Talia.
"We are at the hospital how do you think he is doing?" Talia said as she looked between the two boys as if they were stupid.
"Here, let me help you." Scott said as he moved towards Liam.
"We, don´t need your help." Talia said as she moved her arm around Liam´s waist.
"Tali, let them help." Liam said as he looked between his sister and the two boys.
"Fine, fine." Talia said as she held her hand up in surrender as she backed away and Stiles moved over to take her place as he and Scott help carry Liam inside the hospital and she followed closely after them and all of the sudden she felt angry and hungry so hungry that her stomach started to hurt.
"Are you okay?" Stiles asked as he sees her rubbing a hand across her stomach and the look on her face it looked like she was in some kind of pain.
"Yeah, yeah i am fine." Talia said as she licked her lips as she stared at him.
"You sure?" Stiles asked as he started at her lips for a few more second before looking up at her face, only to see her looking at him like he was her next meal or something and it kind of scared him or turned him on, he could not decide which one it was.
"I need some food." She said as she hurried past the three boys cause she need something to eat or she would die she through as she pushed the doors open and looked around the waiting room and a smile found it way onto her lips as she sees a vending machine down the hall.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" Stiles heard Liam asked from behind him and he turned around to see the kid staring at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes." Stiles asked with a confused look on his face as to where Liam were going with it.
"Then stop looking at my sister with does sad poppy dog eyes."
"I don´t give her." Stiles stopped what he was going as he walked over and softly grabbed a hold of Liam, making Liam hiss out in pain.
"Did that hurt?" Stiles asked as he pushed Liam inside the doors of the waiting room.
"Yes."
"Good."
The three boys stood there waiting for someone to help them when the heard Talia voice talking to a familiar voice and Stiles and Scott turned their heads to see Scott´s mom walking along side Talia.
"Hey, Liam." Melissa said with a soft smile on her face as she quickly looked towards the two boys before she looked back at Liam as she patted her hand on the wheelchair.
"Hey, Mrs McCall." Liam said with a smile of his own as he sat down in the wheelchair as Malissa bowed down to help him raise his lags up before she stood back up and moved behind the chair.
"Don´t worry Liam, we are going to take good care of you." She said as she rolled him down the hallway.
"I am gonna be there in a minuet." Talia said as she sees Liam, turning his head over his shoulder to look at her with a scared look on his face. She smiled at her brother and when she was sure he was out of sight, the smile vanished as she turned around to look at the two boys.
"Talia, it was a-"
"I don´t care." She said as she held her finger up in the air." Stay away from my brother." Talia said and to make sure she got her point across she softly pushed Stiles backwards before she turned and followed after Liam and Malissa.
"Yep, she hates me now." Stiles said as he raised both hands up in to the air." I should get going anyways. I promised Malia i would help her study." Stiles said as he turned to look at Scott.
"Sure." Scott, nodded his head." I am going to check on him." Scott said as he turned his head towards Stiles.
Stiles was about to leave, but he stopped to look at Scott." Hey, i don´t need to say that it wasn´t your fault, right?"
"I don´t know." Scott said with a lost look showing on his face.
"Scott, if you had use any of your wolf power that kid woudn´t be limping, he would be crawling back to the other part of his body."
"If hadn´t been so worried about being team captain, he wouldn´t have been hurt either." Scott said as he tuned his head towards Stiles.
"It is okay to want something for yourself once in a while. Team captain, alpha werewolf. You are still only human." Stiles told him as he placed his hand on Scott´s shoulder before he turned and walked away.
"Liam is right about one thing." Scott said as he turned his head over his shoulder so he could look at Stiles.
"What is that?" Stiles asked as he stopped and turned around so he could look at Scott.
"You have a girlfriend now."
"I will see you tomorrow." Stiles said as he turned back around and walked out of the waiting room.
Talia were stuffing her face as she walked inside the hospital room to see Liam sitting on the bed with a sad look on his face as their stepdad was touching Liam´s leg and Liam let out a hiss to try to hide the pain he was in.
"It´s broken isn´t it." Liam asked John as he touch the leg once again making Liam hiss once more.
"It´s definitely need a X-ray." John said as he looked from Liam and over at Talia who were stuffing her face with candy and he raised an eyebrow at her.
"What?" Talia asked as she sees both of them looking at her with a funny look on their faces." I am hungry." She was about to bout more candy into her mouth when she heard Liam saying it was all his fault.
"You didn´t do anything wrong Liam." Talia said as she moved off the chair so she could take his hand into her own.
"Any of you going to tell me what happened?" John asked as he looked at his step kids.
"I went up against two juniors. One of them is the teams captain." Liam said with a sigh.
John smiled as he placed his hand on Liam´s shoulder." You two, remember what i always say?"
"Play smart not hard." Talia said as she sat back down on the chair as she opened a bag of sour gummy bears.
"Are you mad at me?" Liam asked with a worried look.
"No." John said with a shake of his head." But your mom might kill me for getting you into lacrosse, but we should wait and see what the X-ray say before we panic and trust me." John said with a worried look as he sees Talia rubbing a hand across her forehead." I have more reason to panic then you." He told Liam with a smile.
"Talia a word." John said as he made a come with me movement with his finger as he walked out of the hospital room.
"What did i do!?" Talia yelled as she looked from Liam and towards the door.
"Talia!"
"I am coming she said as she grabbed the bag of sour gummy bears as she walked out of the hospital room to see John were standing a few feet down the hallway.
"What is it?" Talia asked as she walked towards him with a confused look on her face.
"Look up." John told her as he pulled out a light stick.
"I said i was fine." Talia as she looked up at the ceiling as John moved the light so he could shine it into her eyes and he let out a sigh as he sees her eyes flinch as the light hit her eyes.
"How many?" John asked as he put the light stick away from her eyes.
"How many what?" Talia asked as she put a sour bear into her mouth.
"Pills have you been taken and what is up with the candy, you trying to get high on sugar?" He asked as he pointed to the bag in her hand.
"Which one do you want me to answer first?" She asked as she moved her hand into the bag of gummy bears." Hey!" She yelled as John rips the bag of gummy bears out of her hand.
"Let me sees it." John said as he held out his hand towards her.
Talia let out a sigh as she moved her hand inside the pocked of her packed and pulled out the pill bottle." Can i get my candy back." She almost begged cause she was still so hungry.
John gave her the candy back as he took the pill bottle into his hand and opened it only to see it was almost empty." I have you this last mouth." John said as he held up the bottle for her to see.
"I din´t want you or mom to worry about me." Talia said as a feeling of sadness rushed over her and she didn´t know what was happening to her, but now she was not so hungry anymore, she trough as she placed the bag of gummy bears into the pocked of her jacked.
"Not to worry?" John asked her with a sad smile on his face." After what happened last year, can you blame us?" He asked her as he sees her rubbing a hand across her stomach." You okay?"
"I don´t feel so good." She said cause she really didn´t feel that good at the moment.
"Then you should not have eaten all that candy." John said with a laugh as he pointed his hand towards the bag of gummy bears she had inside her pocked.
"I want you to have another MRI." John said with a serious look on his face.
"But-" She stopped what she was going to say as she sees the look John is given her.
"No buts Talia. Tomorrow morning you are coming with me and we are getting you an MRI and i am going to have to tell your mom what is going on."
"Fine."
"Go home and get some sleep." John said as he leaned forwards so he could place a kiss on her forehead.
"What about Liam?" She asked as she looked towards the room he was inside.
"I will make sure he gets home safely." John said as he turned Talia around so she was facing the elevator and he gave her a little push." Go."
"I am going." Talia said as she walked towards the elevator and she waited only a second before the doors opened and she stepped inside and she leaned her back against the wall as the doors closed.
What she didn´t know what that Scott had heard their whole conversation, but what had Scott worried was the sound that was coming from Talia´s heart beat.
