Chapter 7
Liam had pulled me down like twelve streets, till we got to a familiar street and I saw the Waters' house. Liam eventually slowed down to a limp, as we walked to a house.
"Well, this is my house." he sighed motioning toward the house we were standing in front of. "Okay, well my house is right there, so I'll see you tomorrow?" I said, pointing to the Waters house. "Yeah." he said, awkwardly. "Bye Liam." I whispered softly, before doing something I never expected myself to do. I walked up to him, and hugged him. "Thank you." I whispered into his chest, before he put his bloody arm around me.
"For what?" he asked softly. "For worrying about me when you could've just saved yourself." I responded back in whisper. "I wanted to worry about you. You're my friend." he stated, softly.
Ouch.
I just smiled, and broke the hug. "I know. I've just never had someone care about me more than their own well being." I sighed, glancing down to the concrete. "Well, I gotta go." I said softly, walking up to Liam and placing a small kiss on his cheek, before walking away. I heard him whisper out, "Bye." before turning into his house.
I walked into my house, and it was completely empty of people. I walked into the kitchen, and found a note on the freezer that read:
'Anna,
David will be pulling an all nighter at the station, and I will be working at my work late, so I'll be staying at my friends house.
We'll see you tomorrow after school.
Love, Iris'
"Oh thank god." I whispered, before running up the stairs, and stripping out of my clothes. I quickly grabbed a red sweatshirt and black shorts, and I threw myself onto my bed, and I fell right to sleep.
I woke up early, as usual, and got dressed in black and white baseball half cut sleeve, blue skinny jeans, and my usual plaid green hoodie. I also slipped my converse, and brushed my teeth and hair. My usual routine.
I'd actually slept in later than usual, which was rare. It was 5:30 in the morning, so I just decided to walked out my door, and walked down the stairs, and into the kitchen. I just grabbed an apple, and ran back up the stairs, and got onto the computer, and put on 'Highway to Hell' by AC/DC on a quiet volume, and I ate my apple as I quickly made my bed, before opening up my curtains.
I was just about to open them, and then the neighbors opened, which made me flinch a bit. I looked up and saw Liam. He shot me smile, before walking away. I sighed, before throwing myself back onto my bed. The song ended, and I groaned. To be honest, I didn't feel like getting up to to play another song, so I just laid on my bed, and stared up at the ceiling.
A horn blaring through my ears, and I shot up, holding my head. I groaned, holding my ears, before I grabbed my apple core, and walked down the stairs. I tossed the core into the trash, and walked out the door. I saw Stiles and his jeep, waiting there.
"What the hell?" I whisper yelled, walking over to the passenger side. "It's time for school, figured you could use a ride." he explained, starting up the jeep. "Great. Thanks." I muttered sarcastically. "Your bag is in the back of seat." Stiles pointed back, as he pulled out of the Waters driveway. "So where did you and Liam runoff to?" he asked raising an eyebrow.
I smacked his arm. "We went home." I stated, softly. "Sure you did." Stiles smirked over to me. "So tonight's a full moon." Stiles stated bluntly. "So?" I muttered, clutching my bag to my chest. "It's Liam's first full moon, if he's alive anyway." Stiles shrugged. "He's alive." I barked out, glaring at him. "Woah! Cool the eyes!" he said, glancing over to me, then the road.
"Eyes?" I asked, before pulling to the mirror in his jeep. My eyes were a purple color, before they faded back to brown. "What the hell?" I whispered to myself, before we pulled into the School lot.
I shook my head, and jumped out, before walking over to a railing and jumped up on it, lacing my feet so I wouldn't fall, while scribbling down answers. Stiles just walked up the steps, and away from me. I was gonna wait for Liam and Mason. And maybe, I could actually finish my homework that I didn't get to do yesterday.
I saw Mason, Violet, Garrett, and Hailey behind Mason not really talking, but the other three were talking away. I sighed, before shoving my mostly finished homework into my bag, and tossing it onto my shoulders. Violet and Garrett Split away from Mason and Hailey, who then walked away from Mason.
Mason glanced over to me, and took a step before I heard running, and I jumped when Liam appeared beside me. "Holy.." I whispered, before quickly clutching my necklace tightly, to calm down. "Hey Liam. Why weren't you on the bus?" Mason asked.
Liam glanced to me looking for an excuse while panting. "Uh, I ran." he stated, tossing his bag further onto his shoulder. "You ran three miles to school?" Mason asked, stepping forward a bit, glancing to me. I gently shrugged like I didn't know anything. "Yeah, I just started running." Liam panted leaning against the pole I was sitting by.
"I guess your leg is okay." Mason stated, motioning toward it. I glanced down and it was no longer bent out of shape. I clutched my necklace nervously. He was gonna become one. A werewolf. "Hey, what happened to your arm?" Mason asked gesturing to his arm. Liam looked to me for an excuse, before he started panting and glancing around.
"Liam?" I whispered, jumping off the railing. I saw sweat building on his neck, and he grabbed onto the railing. I walked beside him, trying to calm him down. "Liam, are you okay?" Mason asked. I saw Liam look up and stare at something, and I followed his gaze. I could basically feel the fear radiating off of him, so I gently placed my hand on his hand. "Scott. Go." I whispered, barely loud enough for him to hear. He nodded, before disappearing into the crowd.
"I-I'll talk to you later." Liam said in a raspy voice. "We gotta get to class." Liam grabbed my hand and pulled me away, still panting. Liam was pulling me determined, and to be honest, he was hurting my hand. He had a grip on it tight, but I was controlling it by clutching tightly on my necklace. I saw Liam glance behind us, and so did I. I saw Scott burst threw the doors, and then I turned around to see Stiles skidding in front of us.
"Liam, hey!" Stiles yelled softly, pointing at him. "We need to talk." Scott said. "No! You need to back the hell up. Okay? Both of you." Liam said, gripping my hand even tighter than before. I don't think he realized, but my face scrunched softly with pain. "Can you just listen for one second? Please." Scott asked, looking to me for help. I gently shook my head as if to say I'm staying out of this.
Liam looked at Scott, then let go of my hand, and I sighed in relief, clutching my hand tightly. Liam motioned as if to say, 'What?'
"Liam," Scott began. "We're brothers now." I scrunched my face up in confusion, looking over to him. "What?" Liam asked confused. I saw Stiles sigh and say, "Oh god that's..." he dropped his head. "What are you talking about?" Liam asked, as my hand slowly started to feel like it wasn't being crushed.
"We just met, and you bit me." Liam said, matter-o-factly. "The bite... The bite is a gift." Scott said and I was even more confused than before. "Scott, stop please." Stiles said, walking over to his best friend. "Stop. You-You, we are trying to help you, you little runt." Stiles said pointing at him.
"By kidnapping me? And my friend?" Liam asked with a 'are you serious look' on his face. "Just to clarify, Scott kidnapped you. I aided him a bit." Stiles said. Liam nodded sarcastically, before looking over to Scott, who started saying, "Liam, I've been through this before. Something's happening to you. Something big." Scott tried to explain. Liam shook his head, and looked at the boys before saying, "Nothing's happening to me."
Liam lifted up his arm, and ripped off the bandage, where there was nothing their. "Nothing." Liam stated firmly both Scott and Stiles looked down to his arm, then back up to him. Liam looked to both of them, then grabbed my hand and pulled me away to English.
First thing in English, we were given a large packet to work on for the entire class period.
I was zoning. I didn't mean to, but I was. "Anna." I heard a whisper call out my name. I gently looked around, seeing everyone working on their work. "It's Scott. We need to talk." he whispered. "Give me a second." I whispered almost silently, but enough for a werewolf to hear, I hope. "Alright. Hurry." he whispered back.
I had to think of something, and then it hit me. Fake sick. I was writing down and answer, before, like it was an instinct, my head gently swayed, and I set my pencil down. I saw Liam look over to me, before I stood up. "I don't feel well sir." I said, before he pointed to the door. I ran to the door, and shut it, and jogged to Scott, who was right by the door. "Good job." Scott told me, before we started walking outside.
It was like the end of the period, and when Scott and I got there I saw everyone gathered. "I'm not sharing my basement." Malia said, looking from Lydia and Stiles. "Actually, it's my basement, and my mom saw the scratches you left last time." Lydia replied. "She's still learning." Stiles defended.
"Well we're gonna use the boat house for Liam. It's got support beams to chain him up to one of them." Scott stated. "But how do we get him to the lake house if he doesn't trust us?" Kira asked. "That's not entirely true. He trusts one of us." Scott says, looking to me. "I say if it keeps him from murdering someone, we just chloroform the little bastard and throw him into the lake." Stiles suggested, and I glared at him. "I'm in." I heard Malia say then growl at me, and I looked over to her, and saw her werecoyote blue eyes. "Calm down." Stiles told her, before I clutched my necklace, and shut my eyes. I calmed and then opened my eyes hoping that they were back to normal.
"We're not killing him or kidnapping him." Scott said straight. "Like that worked out well last time." I muttered, looking to the ground. "Well, then let's be smarter. Let's tell him there is a party and invite him." Lydia stated, more than suggested. "So you're gonna ask out a freshman?" Stiles asked. "No, I'm done with teenage boys." she replied back, crossing her arms. "But if we're playing a trick on someone, let's use the trickster."
Everyone looked over to Kira, who just said, "Who me? No, no way." I sighed. "Yes, you. You know what they call a female fox? A vixen." Lydia said. "Me?" Kira asked. "Yes. You can do it Kira." Lydia stated.
"Why can't Anna do it?" Kira asked pointing to me. "He trusts her more than he would me." Thanks for throwing me under the freaking bus, Kira. "She's to shy." Stiles stated, glancing to me. I shot him a glare, but I was calm so I don't think my eyes turned. "C'mon, give her a chance." Kira begged, obviously not wanting to do it. "Anna?" Scott asked, looking at me.
I nodded. "I'll do it."
"Great, let's get back to class." Scott suggested, and we went our different ways. I walked into my English classroom, and grabbed my stuff, getting a note, before walking to Chemistry. I walked in, and gave the note to the teacher, then sat down beside Liam, and then the teacher stood up and started talking. And god this was boring.
Let's just hope I have to guts to do this.
