Scott's P.O.V.
We storm into the Sheriff's Station to a scene of blood smeared on the floor and dead silence. Spotting deputy Clark and the Sheriff raising from the floor behind a desk I rush forward to help the stand. I hold the Sheriff up to make sure he is okay. Then I look over to the deputy beside us and give her a once over. Finding no visible injures I nod my head to her which she returns telling me that she is fine. I look back to the Sheriff, still holding on to him as he holds on to me too.
"Scott" I hear Deaton whisper to me, drawing my attention to him. I look over to here he is crouched down beside next to one of the tables. Releasing the Sheriff I push past the two officers and move my way over to my boss where I crouch down in front of him and the reptilian tail that once belonged to Tracy. Deaton covers the tail in his jacket and I rise up to my feet. I know Lydia is hurt but she has Kira and her mom by her side, my top priority if Tracy right now.
Following the trail of blood I move to the door and call for my best friend "Stiles" When he doesn't answer or move to me from his spot at his dads office I call again for him this time drawing his attention. "Stiles, Stiles come on" I practically plead. Stiles looks back into the office where the others are tending to Lydia
"It's okay, she's alright" I hear Theo reassure us all.
"Tracy... Stiles I'm fine, Help Tracy" Lydia's voice echoes through my ears.
"Stiles" I call again hearing the sirens of the ambulance grow louder as they come closer to the station.
"GO" Lydia calls and I watch the Sheriff move closer to his son
"Come on Stiles" The Sheriff says and Stiles reluctantly moves over to his injured father, throwing one of his father's arms over his shoulder, Stiles wraps an arm around the man's waist and I rush off to the Basement with three sets of footsteps pounding behind me.
Getting to the file room in the basement I skid to a stop when I find Malia standing over the body of Tracy, slightly panicked.
"It wasn't me" Malia says panicked.
Moving over to Tracy's body I crouch next to her feet as Deaton crouches next to her head. We listen to Malia explain to the Sheriff what happen
"There were these people, they had masks. Umm... there, there were three of them" Malia stutters "I think there were three"
"What are you talking about" Stiles asks.
"They were strong Stiles, they had a weapon Stiles! I didn't do this!"
"Okay" I watch my best friend reassure his girl friend,
"She's not changing back. We're going to need to get her out of here" Deaton says drawing my attention to him.
"Hey! Absolutely not!" The Sheriff buts in, Right now I think I could use Grace's sense of stating the obvious to get things done quicker. "This is a crime scene, we call the coroner"
"I think the coroner might be very confused about this girls severed reptilian tail" Deaton explains, now I know where Grace got her ways from.
"I DON'T CARE!"
"You should, Unless you are prepared to hold a press conference announcing the presence of supernatural creatures in Beacon Hills?"
"Dad he's right"
Maybe at the clinic we figure out a way to change her back then call the coroner?" I offer.
"There is a line, there is a line" The Sheriff repeats himself "That we have to draw"
"Dad you've already crossed it, more than once" Stiles reminds him.
"Sheriff Please. Let me help" Deaton says from his position still crouching next to Tracy. "I've dealt with things like this before"
"Just do it fast" The Sheriff finally caves. I pull my sleeves up and with the help of Deaton we Lift Tracy up and guide her body out of the station
Putting Tracy into the back of Deaton's car I jump in the passenger seat and pull out my phone from my front pocket. Scrawling through my contacts I come to the name 'Lil sis' and press the call button. Before pulling the phone to my ear I look at the contact picture of my sister and I that was taken on the first day of my freshmen year. My hair is a shaggy mess but my smile is bright as Grace is on my back with her blonde shining lock pulled up into a high pony tail her smile just as bright. This is one of the moments I can never get back, a moment where everything was normal. There were no werewolves or Kanima's, no supernatural. No death. But that wouldn't have lasted, even without me being a werewolf; grace would still be a Phoenix.
Sighing I pull the phone to my ear and practically scream out as she answers.
"Grace! Grace! Where are you?" I shout, Immediately growing panicked as I realise, I actually have no clue where my baby sister is.
"Scott relax I'm fine"
"Where are you?" I growl
"I'm in the middle of the woods" she replies coolly
"ALONE!" I shout making Deaton swerve the car in surprise and I notice we are getting closer to the clinic.
"Seriously Scott? When am I ever actually alone? Liam, Mason and Brett are with me" She explains and I begin to calm down, Knowing my Beta and another werewolf is there in case anything happens.
"You need to get to the hospital" I inform her.
"What why? What's wrong?"
"Tracy Stabbed Lydia, Just get to the hospital. I'll meet you there" I say and hang up as we Deaton and I pull up to the clinic.
Grace P.O.V.
After my brother hangs up, two arms wrap around my body and pulls me to the chest connected. Liam nuzzles my neck trying to comfort me as I break down crying. Turning in his arms I bury my head into his chest, faintly hearing Mason asking what's wrong and Brett telling him the details of the phone call. Liam shift from in front of me one arm stays around my waist and another hooks under the backs of my legs. The ground disappears from beneath my feet as Liam carries me through the woods back to Mason's car.
I whimper in heartache when I feel my mate hand me over in my time of sadness to another pair of arms. I hear a low howl of pain in return echoing from inside a car. I'm moved again this time I'm lowered and placed back into the warm arms of my mate. The arms that were holding me disappear and I open my eyes to see Brett closing the door next to my feet. Liam and I are sitting in the back of Mason's car, His back is leaning against the door as mine is pressed right against his chest.
Warm lips press against the nape of my neck making my whole body shiver in anticipation. The want of Liam fangs to imbed themselves into my skin. Pushing myself back further into Liam, I bask in the feeling of home we give to each other whilst Listening to the others in the front talk.
"What was that all about?" I hear Mason ask Brett
"She's in pain. Grace is close to Lydia right?"
"Yeah almost like sisters"
"When Satomi found out about Grace she told us about what she had learned of a Phoenix. She said... 'A Phoenix is a symbol of life, light. She's a balance. A symbol of hope in a time of destruction and ciaos' Lydia may be an omen of death but she's still a life, an innocent life. With her being that close to Grace it will practically shatter her"
"That has to be hard for her"
"What?"
"Grace is supposed to be able to heal others right?" I hear Mason ask. "She must know that if she had her powers before, she could have saved her"
"Saved who?" Brett asks confused.
"Allison" I say with a whimper and Liam pulls me even closer to him and lets out an angry growl at the two in the front seat.
"Shit- Grace, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were..." Mason begins but I cut him off
"It's okay" I say with tears in my eyes and a weak voice as I adjust my body in the arms of my first love. My only love.
Liam's nose connects not my shoulder again and begins to nuzzle me once more effectively calming my heart rate. Curling my legs up I sit in Liam's lap and he runs his right hand over the exposed skin of my back between the hemline of my crop top and my shorts. Like this morning his fingers pluck gently at the strap of the suspenders as his left hand rubs over my right thigh. Tilting my head up slightly I connect my lips to his throat and kiss a tail to his pulse where the thumping of his heart begins to speed up, then trailing another series of kisses up his neck to his ear I graze my teeth over his lobe slightly before I begin to nibble the flesh. Liam Lets out a purr, surprising us both but I just continue my work.
"Guys seriously, you tow are cute and all, but I don't think Mason here wants you two to create a litter in his back seat... so stop" The amused voice of Brett calls from the passage seat.
"Are you okay?" Liam asks and I look him in the eyes
Knowing I can't lie to him I shake my head. "Once we find out how Lydia is doing I don't think so... But thank you for the distraction" I says and Peck his lips.
"We're here guys" Mason calls as he pulls up to the front of the hospital. Liam and I climb out of the car and look over to the door where my brother is waiting. "Text me on how she is?" Mason ask drawing our attention back to him. Nodding to him I am thankful for such a good friend. Mason might not be close to Lydia but he still cares.
"We will" Liam informs him, talking my hand and pulls me away from the car and over to my brother. As we walk away and Mason begins to drive off, I faintly here Brett says something about buttons but I ignore it, not understanding.
"Is she okay?" I ask my brother coming up to him.
"I don't know I just got here" He says and we walk into the hospital. "What were you guys doing in the woods anyways?"
"Looking for Tracy's necklace"
"Her necklace? What was Tracy's necklace doing in middle of the woods?"
"When Liam and I fell into the hole when we were spying of Theo with Stiles. we fell in a hole remember?"
"There was a necklace in the shape of a leaf, the same necklace that is on Tracy's yearbook photo" Liam explains
"So Tracy fell in the same hole as you two?"
"No, she didn't fall in, she was put in" I tell my brother.
"Tracy was buried?" he asks as the tree of us walk through another set of doors.
"In a hole, buried alive, crawled out, then we found another hole" Liam explain
"Technically mine and Mason's asses found another hole" I inform him.
"Who was buried in that one?" Scott asks looking between us.
"I don't know but I think we're gonna wanna find out" Liam say and we turn yet another corner. Hoping into a elevator we ride up to the 2nd floor and walk to the end of the corridor where the rest of the pack and Theo are.
"How bad is it?" I here Stiles ask my mom as we get closer to the pack.
"Could have been worse. Theo nice going on that tourniquet, you probably saved her life" Mom says to him as we stop next to them.
Realising our arrival Mom turns to Scott, Liam and I "Alright, she's about to go into surgery so it's going to be a while. Any other supernatural details that I need to know about or do we just stitch her up and hope for the best?"
"It was the tail" Kira says moving forward gaining attention. Tail? What tail?
"Tracy cut her with the tail if that makes a difference" Scott pipes up.
"Okay" Mom says and looks at me noticing all the dirt on my clothes. Probably wondering how hard it will be to wash all of the mud off. I watch as her gaze shifts to my bare stomach. Or at least that's what I thought she was looking at "Grace?" She asks looking up at my face.
"Yeah?" I ask and the others watch us.
"This is a hospital..." She says slightly annoyed.
"I know I'm in a hospital a place that is supposed to be kept clean and Tidy..."
"I have colleagues here, not to mention your father" She says sending a glance at Liam who is just as confused as I am "Please button your shorts back up" She says and pushes past me to head to help out with Lydia.
I look down at my shorts and see the button that is undone. Knowing it has been done all day I look over to Liam with an annoyed expression clear on my face. His eyes make contact with mine before they flicker down to the object of my annoyance. He blushes and swings his body a little before moving away from me.
"Oh my God!" Stiles exclaims and throws himself over to me. Grabbing the top of my shorts he does the button back up then jumps away from me, shaking his hand like a lunatic. Stunned I just stare wide eyed at him.
"Never touch her again" Liam growls out, obviously not liking how close Stiles hands were to me.
"Zip it you little runt" Stiles glare at him. Liam goes to move forward but Scott stops his Beta with a glare of his own.
Not wanting to go against my brother of his Alpha Liam backs down. His head lowering and his tense body slumping.
"Why the hell did Tracy have a tail?" I ask getting back on topic.
"Kanima" Scott says and I almost scream.
"Seriously?"
"But It wasn't just Tracy, there were the others. The guys in the masks" Malia says and I look to Kira confused.
The Kitsune meets my eyes and I mouth 'what the hell is she on about?'
'I don't know' Kira mouths back to me. Nodding my head I turn to Liam.
"Can I stay at yours tonight?"
"Yeah" Liam says the same time Scott and Stiles Shout "No"
"Guys!" I exclaim and pull them way from the group. We walk further up the corridor that we came in from and I turn to the two. "Please! I need this"
"Grace-" Scott starts but I cut him off.
"Scott please, I need him. Lydia- Please" I beg. Scott looks over to Stiles who shakes his head and looks over to me. "Stiles" I cry, tears welding up in my eyes. Suddenly a body slams into mine and two arms wrap around my waist. I bury my head into Liam's shoulder as I begin to cry again. I can't help Lydia like I couldn't help Allison only this time I can't help Lydia because I'm not strong enough to help her, not because I don't have the power.
"Gracie-" Scott says gently and I look over Liam's shoulder to the two of them. "See you in the morning?"
I nod my head at my brother and look to Stiles. "Get out of here... your causing a scene" He says with disgust and I pull away from Liam but lace my fingers with his and glance around, sure enough several staff members, patients an visitors are watching us.
"Come on, we'll drop you off" Kira says coming up to us.
Scott, Kira, Liam and I walk say goodbye to the others and make our way out of the hospital and to the parking lot where Kira's car is. Not wanting to be apart from Liam I open the back door of the car and scoot along to make room for him to sit in as well. Keeping his hand locked with mine Liam sits in the seat and closes the door. Working together we strap on the seatbelts and I snuggle closer to him.
Kira drives us to Liam's house and we hop out of the car and make our way to the front door. Kira waits for us to be in to be in the house before pulling away and driving off to my house with Scott.
"You hungry?"Liam ask and I shake my head.
"Grace, you have to eat"
"Okay" I whisper to him. Liam pulls me to the kitchen table and sits me down in one of the chairs. It's only now that I release my hold on him and he moves around the kitchen. I stare down to the stone gray floor as I hear the clanging of plates and the shuffling of plastic as Liam open a box and drops something of a plate, the sound repeats then the closing of the box is the only thing that echoes through the kitchen. Liam makes his way back over to me and puts a plate in front of me. But I don't move my gaze from the floor. Two fingers land on my chin force my head to look at the table, there lying on a plate is a piece chocolate cake. Somehow Liam knows how much I will be able to stomach as the slice is not big enough to stuff me but not too small to make me hungry. Gathering Liam's hand that has dropped from my face to my thigh, keeping the much needed contact, I bring up his hand and kiss his palm lightly. Liam laces his fingers with mine and we begin to slowly eat the cake in silence.
Once we are finished he clears the plates away and Leads me quietly up the stairs. He leads me into his room closing the door behind us he then leads me over to his bed where he reaches down next to the table and switches of the lamp. Light shines through the room as Liam turns back to me. Looking up to my mate I run my hand up his chest and to his neck, pulling him forward I place a gentle kiss on his lips before pulling away.
Third Person P.O.V.
"What was that for?" Liam whispers to Grace
"I love you" she whisper back
"I love you" Liam repeats and leans in, the next few seconds pass in a blur their lips meet and this kiss is far from gentle, neither cannot find the right words for all the emotions that are currently streaming through their veins. So Grace puts it all into our kiss. Liam's mouth drops open at her sudden show of confidence. Although they have done this may times it's never been this... rough. Using the movement of his slacked jaw she magnify the strength of the kiss, Liam comes back to his senses after standing frozen. As Grace was about to move away and apologize for her sudden brash action but his hand slides around her waist and pulls the blonde flushed against him. She moans into the kiss as Liam makes deeper, tongues battle for dominance, a battle that Liam eventually won. After what seems like several minutes the two pull apart for some much needed air
Grace slides her hand down from his neck to just beneath his chest where the zip of his hoodie lays. Taking the zip between her thumb and finger she slowly slide the zip down until his hoodie falls open. Wiggling her fingers out of his, she reaches up and pushes the hoodie off of his body leaving him only in a plain white tank top. Grace slides her hands down his arms and wraps her fingers around his wrists.
Guiding his hands she places them onto her waist and let's go. His grip tightens on her then he slides them down to the front to Grace's shorts where the suspenders are clipped, undoing them he pushes them off of her shoulders and then slides his hands back to his mates waist, he moves them up her sides slowly until he reaches the hem of the shirt. Grace nods to him he and pulls it up over his girlfriends chest and she reach her arms up allowing him to taking it off fully, leaving her in a black lace covered padded bra. A groan escapes Liam as he looks the blonde up and down. She reach forward and pull his top up over his head and drop it to the floor next to hers.
In the blink of an eye all their clothing is removed and our hands are gripping at each other's bodies. In a swift movement Liam picks her up and Grace wraps her legs around his waist. Talking a few steps he climbs onto the bed and lays her onto the sheets, he hovers over for a few second then in a heartbeat they're naked bodies are connected to make them one. He leans down and trails kisses along her neck, nipping and biting his way to the girls' chest. Liam pulls away from Grace and she whimper from the loss of contact of her mates skin. However her whimper was not needed as Liam flips her over so she is lying face down and straddles the backs of her thighs.
His hands slide from gripping at Grace's waist up to her shoulder blades. Liam leans down and kiss each of spots where her wings will one day appear send pleasure through Graces body. His lips then skim up her body to her right shoulder where she feels him trace them to the nape of her neck whilst brushing Graces blonde locks away. Liam leans down towards his mate. With glowing eyes his fangs slide out of his gum and he lowers his mouth down to the nape of her neck where he bites down into the naked beauty bellow him. Grace cries out in both pain and pleasure, thankful that neither of Liam's parents are home. He licks the new mark on is mates skin a few times then roughly grabs her waist and flips her back over to face him.
He connects their bodies again, this time more passionate they move together as Grace slides her hand up from where she was gripping at Liam's bicep and to his shoulder, then snaking her hand around to the back neck. Grace flexes her fingers and the nails immediately transform into Solid black talons until they begin to shine with a light warm fire. With glowing eyes she sinks them deep into the skin of her mate, completing the last part of the mating ritual. They are now both claimed.
Grace P.O.V.
The next morning
I wake up and the world is so much... brighter. We finally did it. We're now claimed by each other. Taking in a deep breath I sigh it out as the strong arm around my waist pulls me back closer to the body behind me.
"Ummm" I hum out
I feel Liam shift behind me and kiss the nape of my neck "It's healed" he whispers to me.
"WHAT!" I shout panicked
"Relax G. There's a scar" He says with a laugh. I turn around and look him in the eyes
"Good morning"
"Morning" I whispers to me and I lean forward and kiss him. "We should get up. School" I say pulling away. Focusing my hearing I listen for any other heartbeats in the house, finding none I get out of the bed, not bothering to cover myself. "I need a shower" I say and walk to the bedroom door. Opening it I turn back to Liam and raise an eyebrow "You coming?" I ask when I see him just lying there.
After our shower I pull out a pair of sand coloured jeans, a maroon crop top, Cream cashmere cardigan and a pair of brown ugg's of Liam's wardrobe and slip them on. I walk over to and sit on the edge of Liam's bed next to his table. Lying on the surface is my bow and arrow necklace that Liam slipped off of me last night. Sighing I reach out and gently pick it up. The bed dips beside me as Liam sits down; he reaches out and takes the necklace from my hands turning my back to him, Liam ties the piece of jewellery around my neck. His lips connect with my skin and I force myself not to swoon.
"We have School" I remind his as he kisses along my neck.
"Fine" He groans, standing up he pulls me with him and we walk out of his room, down to the kitchen "Cake again?"
"Not thank you" I say and pluck an apple out of the fruit ball. Nodding Liam pulls one out to and head out of the front door. Liam locks the door behind us and we make our way down the driveway and freeze. There sitting at the bottom in his shiny black car is one Mason Hewitt.
"ugh... finally. I've been waiting here for 10 minutes" Mason groans spotting us walking over to the car I throw my hair up into a bun on top of my head.
"How do you know we hadn't left yet?" I ask getting into the back as Liam gets in the front. It's a lot easier to be apart from him now. I don't like it, but it's easier.
"I saw you two walk out of Liam's room" He says point to the window before pulling the car away and driving us to school. The ride is filled with random conversations and questions, mostly be Mason. Neither Liam or I inform our friend of our new status.
"You okay there Grace?" Mason asks looking at me in the rear view mirror.
"I'm fine, the hospital are doing their best of Lydia. I just hope she will be alright"
"We all do" Liam says turning in his seat to me. Mason pulls up to the school and parks the car in to one of the vacant spaces. Liam hastily jumps out of the car and opens the door on my right for me. Undoing my belt I smile at his action whilst shaking my head. Climbing out of the car I move out the way and allow him to close the door.
"Uhh... What was that?" Mason asks coming around the car to us.
"What was what?" Liam asks confused.
"The rushing and the door opening" Mason says looking at his best friend. "You never open my door"
"You're not my mate" Liam says with a smirk.
"Well-"Mason says and cuts himself off. His eyes travel behind me and I turn to see what he is looking at but all I find is a couple of Students talking and laughing next to their cars.
"I knew it!" Mason exclaims and I spin back around to see him already looking at me.
"Knew what?" I ask confused.
"You... Him... you two" He says with pure excitement. "Oooh your brother is going to be pissed"
"Mason what the hell are you talking about?" I ask getting agitated.
"Your cardigan" Mason starts and tugs on the collar of the cashmere. "Only covers half of the bite our boy gave you... maybe you should cover it up?" Mason suggests
"NO!" Liam and I shout at the same time,
Mason looks between us with a smirk "Side effect? Not wanting to hide the mark the other has given" he then walks away leaving Liam and I stunned in realisation.
"You don't think there will be anymore side effects do you?" Liam asks, lacing his fingers with mine.
"We aren't that lucky" I reply and we walk into the school, hands clasped tightly together.
Time Skip
All morning I have had lessons with Liam and Mason, Hayden has been in a few but I have not had the chance to talk to her. Now it's last lesson and I have Geometry, my first lesson without Liam and I'm nervous to be alone. It's not like I haven't been alone before it's just this is new, Liam and Mason walk me to my class room door which is just now the hallway from their calculus class. We stop outside the door to my room, I peer in to see who is there, so far I only count 12 so I turn back to Liam.
"I hate this" Liam says pulling me against his.
"It's only an hour guys you can survive 60 minutes apart" Mason comments and retrieves identical glares from Liam and I. "Maybe not"
Tightening his hold on my waist, Liam pushes me into the lockers nearby and attacks my lips with his. Moaning into the kiss I wrap my arms around his neck as my back slams against the locker. Scraping my nails against the scar on his neck he growls pulling away from me and his lips attack my neck. My whole body is trapped between the lockers and Liam's body, not that I mind and I would have stayed if we hadn't of been interrupted by a throat clearing beside us.
Pulling apart but still being pressed into the locker I look to the right and find Mrs Miles and half of my class standing there watching us. Mason is behind the crowd watching us suppressing his laugh.
"Miss McCall, Mr Dunbar are you two in need of a hose down?" My teacher asks me and I drop my hands from Liam's shoulders as he lets go of my waist
"No Ma'am" Liam replies.
"Class is beginning Miss McCall; I suggest you find your seat.
Nodding I turn to Liam sending a pained glance before we part ways and I hastily make my way into the class room. Spotting Hayden at the back with a seat right next to her I rush over and take it before someone else.
"Hey" I say looking over at her as I put my book on the desk.
"Hey, nice show out there... well beside the co-star" she says bitterly.
"Can't you two just try to get along?" I ask whilst sitting in my seat.
Hayden sits there thinking it over then turns to me with a fake smile "No"
Sighing I roll my eyes and give all of my attention to the teacher. After 50 minutes of me switching my attention between the boring lesson and the clock. Within the first 5 minutes I began to get anxious... separating anxiety to be exact. But only in those last 10 minutes I begin to tap my pen on my desk. Unknowingly annoying the people around me. I can sense Liam is close, but not close enough. He's just down the hall sitting in class, just as anxious as I am.
"Grace!" Hayden hisses to me drawing my attention from the annoying ticking of the clock.
"What?" I ask turning to her.
"There's a club tonight, Sinema. I work there, you want to come?" She asks me.
"A club?"
"Yeah, I already asked Mason this morning"
"Mason's going?" I ask confused.
"Yeah, you should too"
"Uh... Yeah sure" I reply and sigh in relief as the bell rings.
Stumbling out of my chair I make my way out of the class room door and rush down the hall into Liam's open arms.
"Oh thank God"
"You'd think you two thought the other was dying" Mason laughing and I glare at him.
"You going to Sinema tonight?" I ask him
"Yeah how do you know?"
"Hayden just invited me"
"Did she say you could bring someone?" Mason asks me glancing to Liam and I shake my head
"No, she didn't" I say sadly
"Well she did me. Pick we'll you up at 10?" Mason says with a smirk and I nod like a bobble head on a dirt road.
"Come on let's get you home" Liam says wrapping his arm around my waist and guides me out of the school to Mason's car.
Time Skip
Mom's working late and Scott and the others are looking into how the hell Tracy was part werewolf and part Kanima. Mason had to literally drag Liam back to his car when they dropped me off to the empty house where I make myself something to eat, watch some TV (Psych) then begin to get ready once the time hits 8:00.
Hitting the shower I give myself a full scrub down and lather my hair in shampoo and conditioner. After the shower I walk back to my room in a towel. Once inside I make my way to my night stand and pick up an old hair tie, tipping forward I carelessly plait my locks and them move to find something to wear. Practically pulling my wardrobe apart I finally settle on a black AC/DC crop top, Studded Leather shorts, 4 inch ankle boots, my watch and necklace. Throwing the clothes on my bed I heat my body and Hair to dry off any remaining water. Slipping on black lace underwear I drop the towel and throw the shirt on.
Creaking sounds outside of my window and the clear sound of someone pushing it open Knowing who it is I spin around and throw the pair of shorts in my hand at the his head.
"Hey! Grace what the hell?" Liam exclaims pulling the shorts away from his face.
"What are you doing climbing through my window, the house is empty and I'm trying to get ready" I growl out, although he knows I'm not angry.
"I can see that." Liam replies looking me up and down. All I am in is black lace panties, my AC/DC top that is covering my bra. Rolling my eyes I walk up to my boyfriend, making sure to sway my hips a little, my movement his defiantly doesn't miss attention as his eyes flick straight to my hips at the second step.
"What are you doing here?"
"I had to" he whines and my heartaches
Liam leans against my window was I walk to him once I'm close his empty right hand rests on my hip and I run my hand down his left arm, once my fingers reach his jacket covered wrist, with my new found reflexes, that make me a little quicker than usual, I snatch my shorts out of his hand and jump away from him.
"Tease" Liam pout turning, I look at him and just smirk in response. After slipping out my shorts much to Liam's dismay, I sit on the edge of my bed and slip on some plain black ankle socks and my 4 inch heels. Standing, I reach for my hair and pull the elastic out and unwind the braid. Letting it fall into waves around my shoulders.
"You're covering your mark?" Liam whimpers
"Not even the slightest" I say ad split my hair right down the middle all the way to the back. Then I braid it into two scalp plaits, one on each side. "See, no hiding" I assure him as I pick up my watch and necklace off of the bed. Handing the necklace to Liam he ties it around my neck as I fasten up my watch. Liam lets go and I walk to my bed side table again and pull open the draw. Pulling out my purse I remove $60 and slide the notes into my front pocket before zipping it tight.
"Mason will be here soon" Liam informs me and I turn to face him again. Leaning forward I press my mouth to his and nibble on his bottom lip. He moans as I tug, placing his hands on my hips and pushes me back. Walking backwards my legs connect with the side of my bed and we fall onto the sheets with Liam lying on top of me.
As Liam begins to leans down, honking sounds from outside on the street. Dropping his head against my shoulder, his hands slide to my wrists and he pulls me up off of the bed and throws me over his shoulder. I gasp in surprise as Liam moves around my room carrying me.
"Got your phone" He informs me and I see is hand slide around to his pockets of his pant and I watch as he slide my phone in.
"Thanks" I huff as Liam carries me out of my room, down the stairs and out of the front door. He stops long enough of me to lock the door whilst still over his shoulder. Liam walks down to the car waiting for us and lowers me to my feet.
"I hate you" I glare at him.
"No you don't" Liam smirks back and opens the car door for me to climb in. Pecking him on the lips in thanks I duck down and slide into the middle seat.
Liam closes the door and then opens the passenger door and climbs in himself, we buckle up and Mason drives us to 'Sinema' .Hayden told Mason to go around to the back door so once we get out of the car, we sneak around the back until there is no one else around.
Liam searches through his phone as He, Mason and I make our way around the back of the building that has music thumping inside of.
"Can you put your phone away for five minutes, Scott can howl if he need you" Mason jokes
"Shit, Scott" I say slapping my forehead. Reaching into Liam's back pocket I slip my phone out and send a quick text to my Brother.
Out with Liam and Mason.
Love Grace
I lock my phone and go to put it back in Liam's pocket but it chimes signalling I have a message. Pulling it back to me I unlock it again and look at my new message
Where?
Scott
That's not creepy. What the hell does he do? Sit and watch his phone waiting of me to text?
Sinema
Is the only word I send back then hand my phone over to Liam who is talking to Mason. Liam takes it and Slides it in his pocket before grabbing my hand and lacing his fingers with mine.
"You are, you're my wing Man tonight. Considering the state of my dating life, I need a wingman, co- pilot, and a really hot flight attendant" Mason rants
"Well I'm definitely not your flight attendant
"No that's why Grace is here" Mason says gesturing to me.
"What the hell do you think she's going to do?" Liam growls.
"Look at least here we can get drunk" Mason says and I turn to Liam.
"Did we not tell him we can't get drunk?" I ask my mate.
"We might have forgotten that part" He whispers back to me and we follow Mason up the stone steps in time for Hayden to appear at the door with a smile which immediately drops when she see's who I'm holding hands with.
"I said I'd let you in, not him" She says to Mason.
"You said I could bring a plus one. And you already invited Grace yourself so I get to choose someone else" Mason reminds her.
"I didn't say plus Liam"
"I'm his wingman, Grace is his flight attendant" Liam speaks out.
"What?" Hayden asks him confused.
"Forget it, we're not going in" Liam says and begins to pull me away. Mason stops him and I turn to Hayden.
"No, no, no. You're coming. Okay, look how about me, him...Plus 50?" Mason sighs holding out the money. Hayden hesitates so I speak up
"Hayden please! I don't feel comfortable without him" I beg to her. Hayden's glare soften when she looks at me and she reaches forward and takes the money from Mason and opens the door wider for us.
"Welcome to Sinema" She says with a fake smile to Liam, who grabs my hand again and guides me inside. Hayden closes the door behind us and whispers to me "I'm only doing this for you" before walking off. I smile at her retreating form and turn to Liam
"Welcome to Sinema" I repeat Hayden's words and we follow Mason through the building to where the music is coming from. Pushing through some metal chains we walk around a room covered in Lights, dancers on platforms and customers.
Mason walks us to the DJ and I have a hard time blocking the sound. The music changes slightly and I flinch. Sensing my struggle Liam wraps his arm around me and pulls me closer to him, whispering in my ear. "Block it out, focus on something smoother"
"Like what?"
"My heart" He says and licks the shell of my ear "I'm listening to yours. I'm always listening to yours" Liam informs me and I smile to him and using my senses I tone out the Music and listen to the slight elevated heart rate of my mate
"Your heart is beating a little too fast" I inform him and he looks at me.
"So is yours" he says back and I blush.
We follow Mason around some more and until he stops next to a platform with a guy inside.
"We don't look old enough to be here" Liam inform his best friend and I follow their gaze to the other side of the room where I spot the very familiar Blond Beta from the Ito pack.
"Neither does he" Mason says gesturing to Brett who is dancing with some girl.
"So what is this club? Mixed?" Liam asks and I watch as Brett changes the girl for a guy.
I shake my head in amusement as Mason replies "Ish" to Liam's question.
Liam and I dance with each other for a while until I spot Hayden talking to the bartender. Focusing my hearing whilst dancing with Liam I listen in on the conversation.
"You remember I have to pay for these out of my own pocket, right?"
"Yep" the douche bartender replies and I have the sudden urge to punch him.
"Yeah that's great Phil, you know you just stay back there getting drunk as usual" Hayden says pissed.
I see 'Phil' lift his hand up and say "Steady and a rock"
"I'd Like to beat him with a rock" I mumble to Liam who is now behind me dancing close.
I watch as Hayden walks away from the bar to just in front of us, although she doesn't notice our presence. She puts her hand on the try and I watch as she fumbles the money with a disappointed expression.
"I'm never going to make enough" she sighs and walks strait past Liam and I.
Liam and I watch as she passes us then he turns to me. "What do you think that was about?"
"I don't know" I say. Liam looks around again and suddenly smiles, confused I follow his gaze and Mason and Brett doing shot. "Some ones having fun"
A sudden sheet of cold rushes over me and look around the room when I get the feeling of something unnatural creeping by. I stop dancing with Liam and pull him with me in the direction where the negativity is coming from
"What? What's wrong?" Liam asks me spinning me around to look at him.
"Do you feel that?" I ask him
"Feel what?"
"The Negativity, it's the exact same thing I felt around Tracy in class"
Liam looks around worried and I can tell he feels something to. "Now that you mention something does feel off, I thought it was just Hayden" Liam says to me and I glare at him.
Liam and I turn around the room, searching for the source of negativity. Due to the fact that we were in the open, people start coming closer to us to dance for more room. Liam grabs my arm and tightly to keep me with him as we make our way over to Brett and Mason.
"Brett!" I call catching the boys attention as Mason walks way.
"Barbie!" Brett calls back annoying me and he knows it.
"Brett, do you sense anything right now?" Liam asks form beside me.
"No, I didn't catch anything"
"No one else in here is like us?" Liam asks
"I don't know dude maybe, it's Beacon Hills. What's the difference?"
"It felt different" Liam insists.
"What do you mean?"
"It felt off" Liam says
"It felt wrong" I clarify looking around the room "It felt the exact same way Tracy did" I inform Brett and we all look around the room for the source. Liam and I walk away from Brett as Mason comes back. Dodging dancers, I turn to Liam but the cold feeling rushes over me again. Looking to my right I search through all the faces but come up with nothing. Sighing I turn back to Liam to see his eyes are glowing.
"Liam, eyes. Knock it off" I hiss and he turns to me.
"You two then" He smirks. Blinking I shut my eyes, turning them off, Liam does the same and we resume our search.
Scott P.O.V.
I spot my mom just as the doors to the elevator open. We're at the hospital because my mom called about an odd attack on a kid.
"This way" My Mom instructs and guides Kira and I down the hallway "He came in about 45 minutes ago" She I forms us and a pained cry comes from one of the closed doors. I look to Kira both worried and confused.
"Melissa" Liam's father comes up to my mom "I'm going to find an anaesthesiologist covering acute pain, see what you can do?"
"Okay" Mom breathers out and I walk up closer to her as Dr. Geyer walks way. More screaming comes from the room and I stand just behind My Mom.
"Mom, what's happening to him?" I ask her.
"I's the pain, nothings works... We've already pumped him full of Morphine" She informs me as I walk closer to the room and Listen to the pained screams
"Can't they do anything to help him?" Kira ask.
"We can put him in a medically induced coma; It's how we help burn victims deal with pain" Peter. My mind immediately goes to.
"Let me see if I can help" I make up my mind and walk into the room with my mom and Kira following close behind.
Kira and I stand at the bottom of the bed as Mom keeps an eye out for anyone coming. I look over the pale boy who is screaming in pain. He can't be any older than Liam and Grace. Probably the same age.
"Please, please stop... Please make it stop!" The boy 'Corey' cries out and I wrap one of his hands in mine and begin to take the pain. Out of all the times I have taken pain away from people, this has to be the worst. Corey's crying stops and I faintly here Kira begging me to let go of him. Two pairs of hands wrap around my wrist, tugging me away from Corey and I lean over Gasping for breath.
"I'm okay" I assure the two holding me steady. "Let me see it, let me see his arm"
My Mom lets go of me and moves to the white badge on the kid's arm. Peeling it off she shows us the wound that covers most of Corey's forearm..
"Holy" Kira breathes out from beside me.
"What is that?" I ask looking at it.
"The Lab says scorpion venom" Mom informs us
"Scorpion?"
"I know that's not the weirdest part, because a sting this bad means that he should have been dead 10 hours ago and the scorpion that stung him would have been 10 feet tall" Mom says covering the wound back up and walks over to us.
"Please tell me that doesn't mean there is a giant scorpion running around Beacon Hills" Kira says to me.
"Lucas" Corey gasps out now awake and I turn to him. "It was Lucas"
"Hey, Corey!" I whisper to him after a few minutes gaining his attention. Mom left to keep away anyone who tries to come in. "What Lucas did to you, he's going to do it to someone else ad it's going to be much worse"
"We need to know what happened" Kira says from behind me.
"I don't really know" Corey relies and sits up. "He's never been like that before"
"Like what?" I ask confused.
"Aggressive... We were taking it slow, but it wasn't me. He was the shy one, we were hanging out today and it was like he was a different person" Corey explains to us.
"Different how?"
"Like super confident. We were just kissing and then I felt his sharp sting on my arm. And then I looked up at him and I swear his eyes turned black"
"You mean totally black?" Kira ask coming up beside me.
"The whole eye, but it was only for a second and then he said sorry that and that he would see me at the club tonight and then he just left. A few minutes later I'm In the worse pain in my life"
"Hold on, you said club. What club?" Kira asks
"Every Friday night, Sinema" Corey says and I gasp in an audible breath making them both look at me.
"What? Scott what is it?" Kira asks me.
"Grace. Liam, Grace and Mason are there tonight"
Grace P.O.V
Liam guides me through a sea of people dancing like lunatic. We're still searching of the source. Spotting Brett on my Left I nod to him then look forward to Liam just in time to see Hayden walking past us. Liam turns to ask me something but his shoulder connects with the tray in Hayden's hand. Shooting forward, I slip my left hand under the tray and my right hand onto of the tubes to keep them in the rack.
Keeping hold of the now steady the tray I look to Hayden with an apologetic smile as she glares at Liam as she does I slide a $20 from my pocket and drop it onto the pile of notes.
"Watch it, dumbass" She hisses to my boyfriend. "These are $10 each" She hisses talking the tray back off of me with a thanking smile.
Hayden begins to walk away from us but I stop her "Hayden!" I call to her making her turn back to us.
"Yeah?" She asks and I walk to her. Pulling another $20 out I drop it on the pile and pull two vials out of the rack. Handing one to Liam I bring mine to my mouth and pour the bitter sweet liquid inside and swallow.
"Yum" I say as Liam does the same. Taking the Vial off of Liam I put them back on the tray and wink at her.
She smiles at me whilst shaking her head and walks ways to sell to more customers.
"I saw that you know" Liam whispers to me. Wrapping his arms around me from behind and pulls me against his swaying me side to side.
"I don't know what you're talking about" I whisper reaching behind my head to his and tugging oh his spiked hair, resulting in a growl.
"You're a good person Grace McCall" Liam whispers into my ear then kisses down my neck.
"You are too" I remind him.
"Maybe so... but no one is as kind and selfless as you" he mumbles against my shoulder and I turn in his arms and connect my lips to his in a hot kiss. A growl sounds from one of the back rooms so Liam and I pull apart and rush over. We pass Mason who is standing just outside of a door. Looking in the room I see some guy with spikes on his arm kick Brett into some metal Scaffolding then the guy swings his arm around and slashes Brett in the stomach with his spike.
Just as the guy is raising his arms I step into the room slightly with my hands gloved in hot flames. I throw the fire to him and he begins to scream as the fire engulfs his shirt. Liam, my sweet idiot, runs forward and tackles the burning guy into a table. The guy begins to ignore the flames that are burning his skin and begins to fight Liam back.
Chains rattle as someone new enters the room. Or should I say some ones. Scott and Kira burst into the room and my brother immediately jumps to his beta's aid when Liam turns his head and shouts. "You're a little late!"
"Brett!" I shout ignoring the fighting and run to the bleeding Beta with Mason at my side. Putting my hand on the wound to keep the blood from pouring out I look up to Brett when he gasps.
"What? What is it am I hurting you?"
"No, the venom is" he answers and I turn to the fighting just in time to see, Kira to turn full fox fire and swing her sword around speaking Japanese. Just as she is about to kill the spiky guy Scott jumps forward and catches her wrist.
She glares at my brother and he looks at her confused. I make sure Mason has Brett before jumping up and running to Liam. Kira's flames die out as I reach Liam and I look over to her to see she looks scared of her very self.
"Is everyone okay?"Scott asks looking around to us all. We nod in conferment no one saying a word about what just happened.
"We need to get him out of here, Liam give me a hand" Scott instructs, Liam moves from my side and to the guys body that has begun to move I rush over to check on Kira but skid to a stop when a zipping sound fly's through the room followed by a thumb.
Looking up I see three guys in metal masks. The guys Malia was talking about the bolt from the crossbow retreats as we all look up to the new people.
"Why did you do that?" Scott shouts up to them.
"His condition was terminal" The middle guy answers with a deep voice.
"What does that mean?" Scott asks but the three begin to walk away
"What does that mean?" I ask stepping towards my brother. the guys turn back around and the one in the middle looks down at us, at me
"Failure" Tin man number one says simply before they all disappear in after some wires explode.
"Failure?" I ask turning to my brother. "This isn't the last one is it?"
"I don't think so" Scott says turning to me as I walk up to the fallen boy and but the fire out.
Time Skip
Hospital
I sit on one of the metal exam tables as Scott and Mom look over the body of Lucas, as I now know his name.
"I'm sure they will come up with a reasonable explanation for the stingers in his arms" Mom says and I scoff making them look at me.
"Like what mutants?"
"I guess it's easier explaining a tail" she says annoyed at my comment.
"Better than the truth" Scott adds
"Maybe this is the best that was can do for now" She replies and closes the draw as Scott walks away, jumping of the table I walk over to my brother "I should have know this was going to happen. I should have been able to stop it"
"We're failing" I inform her
Mom comes up to us saying "You're not Failing Grace, You're trying" She says to me then looks at my brother. Time for his part of the speech "You know your grandfather used to have a saying about the word should" She says sending me a glance as he stops in front of us. Scott looks at me confused yet intrigued; as yet again some weird ass story about Grandpa George is coming up. "You're known what you're doing when you're saying should too often?... You're shoulding all over yourself" she ends with a laugh making Scott and I smile. "I know I can't be the mom that says I don't want you to do anything about this. Cause you're always going to be involved" She says looking between us "Cause not only do you two have the power to do something, you care enough to do it. So all you really need is to ask you're self 'What am I going to do?'"
"I'm going to find out who did this, and I'm going to stop them" Scott says and I hit him in the stomach. He looks over to me confused.
"We... We are, Scott. You're not alone" I remind him. Smiling to me he reaches down and lacing his fingers with mind and we leave to Morgue.
