AN: So this Chapter was initially longer than I had planned, so I broke the last part of the chapter off for the next chapter. I think I got all of the errors, but no promises. Please Read and Review!

Chapter 3

Enigma

Scott.

Scott awoke with a start. He thought that he had heard his name being called, but he wasn't sure. Scott laid his head back down on his pillow and took a deep breath through his nose and let the air out slowly, while closing his eyes again.

Scott.

Scott opened his eyes again, for now he was sure that he had heard his name being called. But it wasn't like it was being spoken. It sounded distant, faded almost, like a whisper. Scott sat up in bed and listened intently. Just as Scott was about to give up he heard the whisper again.

Scott.

Scott moved the covers off his legs and stood up and blinked causing his eyes to shift from their normal chocolate color to a glowing red. Scott scanned his room, nothing seemed out of place. Scott crossed the length of the room, and went into the hall, crossing it to the spare bedroom to find it empty. Scott then turned and walked down the hall on the balls of his feet not making a noise.

Scott opened the door to his mom's room and saw that there was nothing out of place there, and that his mom was sound asleep. Tonight was one of the few nights that she didn't have to work a shift at the hospital, regular or double.

Scott.

Scott turned his head to look back towards the stairs, the whisper sounded quieter this time though. He moved back to the stairs and went down them to the front entrance and looked into the living room and then to the dining room. Scott continued through the house but nothing jumped out as out of place or the ordinary. He returned to the foot of the stairs and saw that the line of Mountain Ash was still in place. Scott shrugged and blinked and turning his eyes back from glowing red to his normal chocolate and then ascended to the stairs and returned to his room.

Scott crawled back into his bed and lay down. He closed his eyes when he heard his name called again.

"Scott."

Scott jumped out of bed, his eyes glowing red and his claws out. This time it didn't sound like it was whisper, but rather like someone was in the room with him. Scanning the room, again nothing was out of place.

"Scott."

Scott turned towards his window, he knew that nothing supernatural could get into the house, nor could he get out, but he crawled up to and scanned the darkness. The street was empty, as well as his side of the street. Scanning the other side of the block, Scott's eyes were drawn to a tree that was two houses down that was in his neighbor's front yard. Scott picked up a scent that was not familiar to him, but he could tell that it smelled feminine. But he could tell that whoever it was looking back right at him with her eyes glowing Amethyst Purple. Scott watched her for a full minute before she spoke in a voice that he hadn't heard for two and half years, Allison's. "Scott, I am coming for you."

Then there was a giant flash as the sky lit up with lightning and almost immediately followed by thunder. Scott bolted up out of bed, his heart hammering and he was breathing hard. Scott glanced at his alarm clock, 5:30 AM. He quickly made his way to his bathroom, and ran some cold water and splashed his face. Scott then looked into the mirror and sighed.

Grabbing a towel Scott dried his face, and he returned to his room and stood in the middle. He glanced at the window above his bed. There was like a magnetic pull that seemed to draw him to it. Scott got in his window the best that he can with the Mountain Ash in place. He blinked and shifted his eyes to red and scanned the neighborhood.

There was nothing out there. Scott shifted his eyes again and turned to get ready for the day. By the time Scott was showered and dressed, he could hear his mom walking down the stairs to get her morning cup of coffee. Grabbing his bag, Scott headed down the hall and to the stairs and then into the kitchen. Upon entering Melissa looked up from the coffee pot. "Morning Scott, wait…are you all right?"

Scott shook his head. "I don't know. I feel like the dream that I had wasn't really a dream, it felt like it was more real than that."

Melissa nodded. "How did it feel more real than a dream?"

Scott pulled a bowl out of the cupboard and then over to another and pulled out a box of cereal. "I had dreamt, if it was even that, that I had heard my name being called. But it sounded like a disembodied voice, but more like a whisper. At first I couldn't tell where it was coming from, so I checked the house but nothing seemed out of place."

Melissa nodded again as she loaded some bread into a toaster. "So what happened then?"

Scott poured the cereal into the bowl that he had gotten and moved to the fridge for milk as he spoke. "Well in the dream, I returned to my room and got back into my bed, when I heard my name being called again, but this time it sounded like it was in my room. I jumped out ready for a fight, but my room was empty."

The toaster popped up with the toast, making Scott jump slightly as he pulled his bowl towards him. Melissa picked up the four pieces and quickly buttered them. "Was that the end of your dream?"

Scott shook his head, as he chewed his mouthful of cereal, but he quickly swallowed. "No, I turned and felt this need to look out of my window for whatever was making me feel like I was being pulled to it. I scanned the yard and saw nothing and then scanned across the street. Two houses down, I saw this girl staring at me, who had glowing purple eyes. We watched each other for a minute, before she spoke."

Melissa waited as she watched Scott stare into his bowl of cereal. "What did she say?"

Scott looked up with saddened eyes. "She spoke with Allison's voice and that she was coming for me."

Melissa sighed and came over and wrapped her arms around Scott. "Scott, do you think this might be something like what happened to Stiles two years ago?"

Scott frowned at that. "No, I am pretty sure that I am not being possessed by a Nogitsune."

Melissa gave Scott another hug. "Well I just wanted to check. You know maybe you should ask Deaton, I bet that he might have an answer."

Scott nodded. "I will do that."

Scott quickly finished his cereal and grabbed his phone as it rang, letting him know that he had a text message. Just then Stiles had pulled up out front and honked the horn. "Bye mom, I will talk to you later!"

With that Scott was out the front door, his mom already having cleared the Mountain Ash. Scott jogged up to Stiles' jeep and climbed in; as he closed the door he opened the text message on his phone.

Liam: Scott could you and Stiles give me a ride this morning to school? Mason can't due to having a dentist appointment this morning.

"Scotty! How are you this morning?" Stiles asked, probably a little too excited for someone at seven in the morning.

Scott smiled. "I had a dream last night that has me a little freaked out. But Liam needs a ride."

Stiles face fell a little bit. "Seriously, I thought Mason was giving him a ride?"

Scott shrugged. "Apparently Mason has a dentist appointment."

Stiles raised his hands off of the steering wheel in a slight disgust. "Fine, let him know we're coming."

Scott texted Liam and then proceeded to tell Stiles about his dream.

Liam stood in front of the mirror in his room frowning at his reflection. This is so not me.

Mason had stopped by the night before, and due to the fact that he was armed with knowledge that Liam was attracted to Scott, brought a bunch of clothes over. Then after trying on 4 different outfits, they were caught by Liam's mother who just giggled when Mason told her that Liam was dressing to impress someone. Then with his mom making three suggestions about what to wear, with Mason agreeing and complaining that he hadn't thought of it either, Liam had his outfit for the day.

"Okay now in the morning, text Scott and ask him for a ride." Mason said as he put the clothes away that he had brought with him.

"He knows that I usually ride with you though. " Liam said as he sat down at his desk.

Mason paused for a moment. "I actually have a dentist appointment in the morning during third period; I will just tell my mom that I want to stay home until I have to go my appointment."

"Oh," Liam said as he then looked down at the floor.

"It will be alright Liam; Scott will notice, trust me." Mason said with a wink. Then Mason left leaving Liam not sure if this was a good idea.

So here Liam stood with a very flattering, but fitting pair of jeans, but they were not skinny jeans, a dark blue suede button up shirt, with a white undershirt. Liam's phone buzzed with Scott's reply letting him know that they were on their way to pick him up.

Liam then quickly turned and put his shoes on and grabbed his bag and went down the stairs from his room to the kitchen. Liam was too busy with his thoughts about how the morning was going to go with Scott and Stiles that he didn't hear his stepdad come into the kitchen.

"Good morning, Liam."

Liam jumped, and let out a small squeak. "God you scared me."

Dr. Geyer raised an eyebrow. "Ok, but I want to talk to you again about what is going on with you."

Liam groaned and leaned against the kitchen counter. "There's nothing going on."

Dr. Geyer let out an exasperated sigh. "Liam, there is something going on with you, and I want to know. And you can't tell me that it is nothing, because I know that there is. You practically had your face tore up with a broken nose, which healed up practically over night with not even a scar. I saw the X-Ray of your ankle when you came in and it was broke, and again you are up and walking on it the next day like nothing was wrong with it. Then don't get me started on you sneaking out at night at times way past your bedtime or that trip that you made to Mexico without permission."

Liam just stared at the kitchen floor and didn't say anything. The silence in the room growing and Dr. Geyer finally spoke irritated. "Liam, please I just want to know what's going on. If you won't tell me, I will find another way."

Liam didn't say anything but he looked up at his stepdad guiltily, when there was a car horn beeping announcing that Scott and Stiles had arrived. "I got to go."

With that Liam left the kitchen with his stepdad calling after him. After quickly exiting the house Liam climbed into the back of the jeep. "Stiles, drive now, please."

Stiles did as he was told just as Dr. Geyer emerged from the house calling after Liam.

Stiles got two blocks from Liam's house when he glanced over his shoulder at the younger teenager in the back, who was busy picking at his shirt sleeve with a look of disgust. "Soo, Liam, who are all dressed up for?"

Stiles smiled at the look of alarm on Liam's face. "N-no one, I am not dressed up for anyone."

Stiles' smile got a little bigger as he turned around and glanced up to the rearview mirror. "Well I know that it's not picture day at school, so which means that you got all gussied up for someone."

Liam turned extremely red. "Mason stopped by last, and had me try and on some clothes that he thought that I would look good in."

Stiles glanced at Scott who had turned in his seat to get a better look at Liam. Stiles could hear the smile in Scott's voice when he spoke to Liam. "Well you look really good, Liam, very dapper."

Stiles noticed the relieved look on Liam's face as well as another look that quickly flashed across his face, but Stiles couldn't put his finger on it at the moment.

"Thanks, Scott." Liam said.

But then something occurred to Stiles as Scott turned to face forward again. "Hey, Liam, what's going with your stepdad?"

The disgusted look that was sent his way, Stiles had a feeling he already knew what the answer was. "He wants to know what's going on with me."

Scott beat Stiles to the question this time. "You still haven't told your parents?"

Liam turned from glaring at Stiles to a hurt look at Scott. "What am I supposed to say?"

Stiles cleared his throat. "You could start with the truth. We told you tell Mason a while back, and he eventually found out and he was cool with it. Ok well more like nerded out over it, but you get the point."

Stiles turned on the street to take them to school and he noticed Liam cross his arms in the mirror. "Yeah, telling your best friend is one thing, Stiles. Telling your parents that you're a supernatural Werewolf is something else. Especially when one is a doctor."

Stiles shook his head. "Well just think of it as a band aid, just rip it off. Besides how did you get out of telling him a few months ago when you were in the hospital after Hayden busted you up?"

Liam seemed to shrink down in the backseat at that question. "I just didn't say anything and I have been kind of avoiding him. Though he keeps asking and I tell him that it's nothing."

Scott turned in his seat again to look back at Liam again. "I am willing to be there to help you explain things to your folks. I'm sure that my mom would be willing to talk to them, since my mom has known for almost three and half years."

Stiles pulled into the parking lot of the school and into a spot, just as Lydia and Malia pulled up in the spot next to them. "And here we are at our wonderful funhouse of torture."

Scott chuckled as he got out and Liam sighed huffily as he climbed out of the back. Malia walked up and gave Stiles a hug and a kiss. "Can we just leave? I am not feeling like school today."

Stiles shook his head. "Malia, if we're all here then you need to be as well."

Lydia came around the car and offered the group a big smile. "So I hope that everyone…"

Lydia stopped when she took in Liam's appearance as he stood next to Scott with his thumbs tucked under the straps of his backpack. "Liam, you look very dashing this morning, who are you dressed up for?"

Liam groaned. "For the second time today, I am not dressed up for anyone."

Malia cocked her head to the side. "Yes, you are. Your heart just beat erratically."

Liam's face heated up again for the second time. "I will see you all later."

With that Liam quickly left the four older teens standing there. Stiles turned to Malia and winked. "We know that he's dressed up for someone, he just doesn't want to tell us who."

As the group moved into the school Lydia felt like there was a familiar presence close by, like a person. But she couldn't place where or why she was having the feeling. The stopped at Malia's locker first as she grabbed her books and stuff for classes the day, when Lydia heard it.

Lydia.

She glanced around but she didn't see anyone that was trying to get her attention. She shrugged her shoulders as she tuned into some story that Stiles was telling Malia about a time he was trying to get Danny to find a phone number for him and was having Derek change into shirts showing off Derek's body to bribe Danny. They had moved and stopped at Scott and Stiles' lockers and they grabbed their books.

Lydia.

Again Lydia glanced around and frowned as she again couldn't place where the voice was coming from. It sounded familiar, but she couldn't place as to who it belonged to. She shook her head again, fearing that maybe her Banshee powers were about to kick in. They soon traveled to her locker, when she noticed that Scott was watching her. She had just opened her locker when she heard her name called again.

Lydia.

"Okay, whoever it is, please stop messing with me. It's too early in the morning for this." Lydia finally snapped.

Stiles stopped talking and looked at Lydia. Scott continued to watch her. Malia was the one to speak. "What are you talking about?"

Lydia sighed clearly annoyed. "One of you keeps saying my name."

Stiles got a confused look on his face. "Lydia, none of us has said your name."

Lydia looked from Stiles to Scott. "Well it's you or Scott. I have heard my name called three times."

Scott shook his head. "I haven't said anything, but I could tell that something was bothering you."

Lydia sighed and replied sarcastically. "Great I have a single voice saying my name in my own head."

Scott frowned, and turned to Malia. "Have you heard Lydia's name being called?"

Malia shook her head. "No, I haven't."

Scott turned to Lydia. "Did the voice sound masculine or feminine to you?"

Lydia frowned. "I would say masculine. It sounded familiar like as if someone that I know."

Scott frowned at Lydia. "Well damn."

Lydia looked at Scott confused. "What do you mean by that?"

Scott scratched the back of his neck. "I had a dream last night, and this feminine voice kept calling my name, and when I finally kind of saw who it was it spoke with Allison's voice."

Lydia blinked as she digested that. "What do you think it means?"

Scott shook his head. "I don't know."

Lydia put her hand on Scott's shoulder and smiled. "It will be okay, I have a feeling that things are going to be good for you here in the near future. And besides it could just be my powers."

Scott smiled too but he quickly turned his head to look at something down the hallway. "I will catch up with you guys later."

And with that Lydia watched as Scott hurried down the hall, and then Stiles started to fill her in on Scott's dream.

"It will be okay, I have a feeling that things are going to be good for you here in the near future. And besides it could just be my powers." Lydia said as she put her hand on Scott's shoulder.

Scott smiled, and he turned to look down the hall, and down at the end of the hall stood a girl with long brown hair, a slight hunch as if she were shy. The girl looked almost exactly like Allison. "I will catch up with you guys later."

With that Scott hurried down the hallway towards the girl. She smiled and she spoke, but Scott couldn't hear what she said. She looked at Scott for a split second before she started to move down the hall. Scott tried to pick up his pace through the crowded hallway as he saw her go around the corner that led to the stairs.

Scott hurried around the corner, but before he could head up the stairs, he crashed right into someone. Scott felt arms wrap around his waist and he felt himself get dragged forward where he landed on top of the person that he crashed into on the stairs.

"Oof! Ow!" The person beneath Scott said.

Scott leaned up enough to register that he had just crashed into Liam. Scott cleared his throat. "Sorry, Liam, I didn't mean to crash into you."

Liam moved his head as he realized that Scott was still lying on top of him. Scott noticed a deep blush crept up on Liam's face. "Uh, yeah it's ok."

"Would you two like to be left alone?"

Scott looked up, and Liam moved his head back to view Mason standing at the top of the stairs. Then it dawned on Scott that he was still lying on top of Liam and quickly got up and helped Liam up as well. Scott noticed that the blush on Liam's cheeks seemed grow a deeper red. Scott gave Mason a big smile. "How was your dentist appointment?"

Mason had a smile on his face as he descended the stairs. "I got there and they told me that they needed to reschedule it, so here I am at school."

Scott nodded and he glanced at Liam. "Sorry for running into you."

Liam shrugged his shoulders. "It's cool, Scott."

"Are you ok?"

Liam again shrugged his shoulders. Mason however was the one to speak. "Oh I am sure that Liam will be just fine. He had you…..ah, ah, ow, ow, ok let go, Liam."

Scott gave a nervous smile as Liam reached over as Mason talked and grabbed his arm and started to squeeze his forearm. "Ok well, I will see you two later."

Scott waved as he passed Mason and Liam and he headed up the stairs. Once in the upper floor hallway Scott scanned for the girl that looked like Allison, but there was no sign of her. In fact Scott saw no further sign of her for the rest of the day. Scott mentioned it to Stiles all through lunch with Lydia, but they hadn't seen the girl. After school Scott, Stiles, Malia, and Lydia stopped at the hospital to see Melissa before going home and before Scott went to the animal clinic.

Scott stood at the counter waiting for his mom, as Stiles, Malia and Lydia stood close by. Melissa came out of a room and saw Scott and sighed. "Please tell me that you're not in trouble again."

Scott smiled and shook his head. "No mom, I am not. I am just stopping by to see if you needed anything before I go to work."

Melissa paused to think for a moment. "Now that you mention it, I do need a gallon of milk and some eggs."

Scott nodded. "Okay, I can stop and get it on my way home since you're here late tonight."

Melissa smiled. "You are the most amazing son a mom could ever have."

With that Melissa wrapped her arms around Scott and gave him a kiss on the forehead. Scott chuckled as he spoke. "Mom, you're embarrassing me."

"You're never too old to get a hug and a kiss from your mom." Melissa laughed.

"I know, mom." Scott said.

"Scott! Could you wait there for a second please?"

Scott turned and saw Liam's stepdad talking to a nurse down the hall, before turning and walking up to join Scott and his mom. "I am glad that I caught you."

Scott smiled. "What can I do for you Dr. Geyer?"

Dr. Geyer let out a chuckle. "Well I know that you have taken Liam under your wing, and well I just wanted to invite you over for dinner as a thank you for doing that."

Scott nodded. "Yeah, I can do that."

Dr. Geyer looked over and saw Stiles, Malia and Lydia walking over to join them. "You know what, how about you all come over as well. I am just glad that Liam has made some new friends here in Beacon Hills. I know that he was worried about that when he was expelled from Devenford. Why don't you come too Melissa. And, it is Stiles right?" At Stiles' nod, Dr. Geyer continued. "Invite your father along too."

"Sure, I can tell him." Stiles said.

"Great, how about you all come over Saturday night say about 5:30." Dr. Geyer said as he looked at everyone.

Lydia cleared her throat. "Is there anything that you would like us to bring?"

Dr. Geyer thought for a moment. "Nope, just plan on bringing a big apatite."

Scott nodded. "Yeah we can do that. Mom I will see you later. Bye Dr. Geyer."

With that Scott left with Stiles, Malia, and Lydia.

Liam was starting to get annoyed with his best friend. Ever since Mason had found Liam entangled with Scott on the stairs, Mason had kept teasing him mercifully. Mason had basically managed to cover everything from how did Scott feel against him, to how did he think Scott would kiss, and now Mason had moved on to more sexual teasing as they sat at the kitchen table at Liam's house.

"Mason, please stop." Liam snapped annoyed. "I never once teased you about Brett or Corey."

Mason closed his mouth. "Ok, I'll stop. But how did it go today other than him running into you?"

Liam shrugged. "Fine, Scott told me that I looked very dapper."

Mason smiled. "I knew that he would like the look."

The backdoor opened. "Liam, are you home?"

"Yes, mom I am." Liam yelled.

Liam's mom came into the kitchen with an armload of grocery bags. "Hello Mason, it is good to see you. Anyway could you and Mason go get the rest of the groceries out of the car please?"

Liam got up with Mason. "Yeah we can do that."

As Liam and Mason crossed the kitchen Liam's mom called after him. "Oh don't make any plans for Saturday night. Your father has invited some people for dinner."

Liam nodded and he and Mason brought in the rest of the groceries. Over the next few days Liam didn't question as to who was coming to dinner, but as he saw both ovens cooking four pans of lasagna, he was starting to wonder as to who was all coming over. As Liam finished setting the table for nine, he heard the doorbell ring.

"Liam, could you get the door please." Dr. Geyer called out from upstairs.

Liam crossed the dining room to the front entrance; he then opened the front door to reveal Scott standing there with his mom. "Hi Scott, umm I can't do anything tonight, cause my dad invited some people over for dinner."

Scott gave Liam a big smile. "Oh I know. Your dad was the one that invited us. Well everyone that is."

Liam felt his jaw drop. "What?"

Scott got a puzzled look, but Melissa gave Liam a smile. "Your father invited us over the other day for dinner."

Liam's voice sounded two octaves higher than normal. "What?"

"Liam, invite them in please."

Liam turned to see his mom standing in the dining room entrance. Liam turned back to Scott and his mom. "Oh sorry, come on in."

Before Liam could shut the door he saw a Sheriff's patrol car pull up and Stiles got out along with his dad, and they had barely walked up the driveway, when Liam recognized Lydia's blue car pull up with Lydia and Malia. Soon everyone was ushered in and introductions were made, and everyone was seated. Liam's stepdad and mom were seated closest to the kitchen, Liam next to his mom on his right. Scott was seated next to him on his left, with Stiles next to Scott and then Malia next to Stiles on the end. Lydia was seated next to her followed by Melissa and then Sherriff Stilinski was next to Liam's stepdad on the other side of the table.

The plates were filled and everyone was just starting to eat when Liam's dad cleared his throat. "I want to apologize to all of you, but I had invited you all under false pretenses. Ever since Liam started at Beacon Hills, things have gotten really strange. First there was Liam's ankle which was broke, because I saw the x-ray, and the next day he is up walking on it like nothing happened. Then there has been all the sneaking out at odd hours of the night. We keep finding ripped and bloody clothes in the trash. Then there was that time he left with all of you to go to Mexico, and then finally there was the incident a couple months ago where Liam was beat up, and by the next morning he was all healed up with not scars or anything. He keeps telling me that nothing is wrong or going on. But I know that there is something going on, and that all of you know what it is, and for once my wife and I would just like a straight answer from someone."

Liam was breathing hard, and he was bordering on seeing red and he could tell that he was close to exploding. But no one said anything for a moment, but leave it to Malia speak, and Liam felt like she had just given him a death sentence.

But it was Malia's curiosity in her question that floored Liam. "What's wrong Liam, don't you like being a werewolf?"

Now there really was silence around the dinner table.
