Scott pulled up Lydia's lake house driveway on his bike. He slowed down and put the kickstand down.
"I just talked to Kira. She's on her way. She said it's all going to be fine." Scott said after he pulled his helmet off.
"It's not that." Stiles stepped forward. "I have something to tell you. I asked around about Liam. I know why he got kicked out of his last school."
"Wait," I blurted, "he was kicked out? He told me he transferred."
Stiles nodded. "He told us that too, but Scott knew he was lying and correctly guessed what really had happened."
"No wonder he was so weirded out after you two had talked to him." I remembered the conversation Liam and I had had after the morning practice. I was shocked that he had been kicked out, but something told me that I'd be even more shocked on why.
Stiles began to pull out his phone and Scott said. "This is going to be bad, isn't it."
Stiles opened an app on his phone. "He got into it with one of his teachers and," Stiles paused, "the kid's got some serious anger issues."
"How serious?" Scott asked.
Stiles handed Scott the phone. "Well, that's his teacher's car after he took a crowbar to it."
Scott's jaw dropped and I leaned over to take a look. The blue car had been horribly banged up. The windows were destroyed and carved on the side was: this is your fault. If it hadn't said that it would've looked like it had just been in a really bad wreck.
On one hand, it was sort of impressive that he was able to destroy the car as much as he did. I probably would've broken a window and then gotten tired and left, but on the other hand, werewolves were notorious for their anger issues so now the anger issues that Liam already had were probably going to be more than doubled. So yeah, it was a little worrying.
"It's not all that bad." I took the phone from Scott. "I mean, a new window and a couple of washes and it'll be good as new."
"Cilia," Stiles yanked the phone from my hands, "shut up."
I made a popping noise with my mouth. "Alright."
"Let's just get inside." Lydia finally spoke up.
"Yeah," Scott started towards the front door, "Kira said she'd be here soon."
We all went to the front door and walked inside the dark house. I looked around. To my left was a sitting place with a sofa and other seats. In front of the sofa was a coffee table with the chains for Malia sitting on it. Another thing Stiles had stolen from the Beacon Hills Police Department.
The front door was shut behind me and a light was turned on.
"Turn it off." Scott looked at Stiles.
"Okay, okay." Stiles shut the light off.
"What party has all the lights turned off?" I walked around the sofa and sat down.
"One funner than this." Malia stumbled over the rug she didn't see.
"Funner isn't a word dear." Lydia made her way through the house she was so familiar with.
"So," Stiles clasped his hands together, "how are we going to do this?"
Scott looked around. "Um, we could stand in a line so that he'll see all of us when he walks in."
Before anything else was said, two white lights light up the room through the window. Time to get the party started.
"Good idea." Stiles made his way to stand behind the coffee table. Everyone stood in a line, but I stayed on the sofa.
"It looks like you're going to take a picture." I teased. "I'll just stay here. It's a little more comfortable."
"Hey, no," Stiles stepped towards me pulled me off the sofa, "you get to stand with us."
"Why?" I stood up and walked over to where Scott, Lydia, and Malia had all lined up.
"Because," Stiles stood next to Malia and made me stand next to him, "Liam needs to see your nice pretty face when he walks in."
"You're an idiot." I frowned and looked towards the front door.
"I love you." Stiles rebounded.
"Shut up." I muttered.
We stood for a moment when the front door slowly opened and Liam walked in, followed by Kira.
Liam looked very confused when he laid eyes on all of us. Stiles waved at the fifteen-year-old and I rolled my eyes. Liam turned to walk out, but Kira closed the door behind him.
"Sorry." She said.
"What the hell is this?" Liam looked back at the rest of us.
"Think of it as an intervention. You have a problem Liam." Stiles answered.
"And we're the only ones that can help." Scott took a step forward.
Liam looked very unamused and crossed his arms.
Moments later after Scott explained what exactly had happened to Liam, what was going on, and all the different supernatural creatures that were standing in the room, Liam did this sort of roll call.
"Werewolf." Liam pointed at Scott who nodded. "Were-coyote." Liam then turned to Malia who nodded as well. "Banshee." Liam looked to Lydia who pursed her lips and pointed at Liam like he had just won fifty-thousand dollars. Liam then turned and faced Kira. "Fox?" This time it was more of a question.
"Kitsune." Kira corrected. "But fox works."
Liam shook his head in disbelief and looked at my brother. "And what are you?"
"Uh, for a little while I was possessed by an evil spirit." Stiles scratched his temple. "Very evil."
"And what are you now?"
Stiles shrugged. "…Better."
"What about you?" Liam stared at me.
"Just socially awkward." I told him.
He looked like he thought we were playing some huge prank on him. He would've been way luckier if this had all just been one huge joke.
"Are those for me?" Liam crossed his arms and looked at restraints on the table.
"No," Malia stepped forward, "They're for me."
From the step back and surprise on Liam's face I figured Malia had shown him her blue were-coyote eyes.
"How'd you do that?" He said nervously and only confirmed my theory.
"You'll learn." Scott spoke up. What was already a tense situation was becoming even worse. "But first, we need to get you through the full moon."
"The moons already out." Liam stated. I glanced at the full moon glowing through the windows.
"And you're starting to feel something, aren't you." Scott responded.
"I feel like I'm surrounded by a bunch of psychotic nut jobs. You guys are out of your freaking minds." Liam spat and began to yell. "I don't know how you did that eye thing and I don't care! I'm walking out the door right now! If any of you try to stop me, I swear to God, I'm gonna—"
He stopped screaming and pressed his hands over his ears. He kept jerking and looking around just like he had been that morning.
"What's wrong," Scott walked forward more, "Liam?"
"You don't hear that?" Liam looked at the Alpha.
Scott closed his eyes to listen, but it didn't matter. We all knew what Liam was hearing when more lights came flooding into the room. Liam fell to the floor, clearly overcome by the noises.
"Did you tell someone about this?" Lydia asked.
"My friend Mason." Liam told her.
I quickly pulled out my phone and on the home screen was a text from Mason asking if I was going to the party. Kira walked over to the window and looked out.
"You said it was a party." Liam said to Kira.
"Who did Mason invite?" Stiles asked
"Everyone." Kira said grimly.
Of course, Liam was transforming right in front of us. He was growling, like most werewolves, and his fingernails had transformed into claws.
"The floors! Get him off the floors!" Lydia shouted. She began to approach him, but he looked up and did the werewolf version of 'stay away ok'. His eyes were werewolf gold and his teeth were looking quite sharp. Lydia quickly took a few steps back.
"We need to get him to the boat house! Now!" Scott grabbed Liam off the floor with Kira's help.
I ran over to where Liam was, but Stiles grabbed me.
"What are you doing?" He said with a very older brotherly (aka protective) tone.
"I'm going to help." I pulled my elbow free.
"He's a werewolf!" Stiles said. "Last I checked you don't have super strength, speed, hearing, or claws and fangs."
I kept going but turned around and smirked at my brother. "Maybe he just needs to see my pretty face."
Stiles frowned but before he could come after me, Malia let out a low growl.
"Uh, Stiles." I heard her say.
"Yeah," Stiles said and then paused. There was one more growl before I couldn't hear what else was said as I followed Kira and Scott.
"What are you doing?" Scott asked when he saw me. Liam was in between Scott and Kira and breathing heavy.
"I'm helping." I started to run ahead to open the door to let them in.
Scott, Kira, and Liam came into the boat house. Liam pulled himself from Kira and Scott and lunged at Scott, who used his Alpha strength to push Liam back. Liam hit the beam hard and fell down. Scott dashed over to him and pinned Liam's shoulders to the beam.
"Hurry!" Scott urged Kira and me.
I grabbed the chains that I had put in there earlier and handed them to Kira who began to wrap them around Liam. Liam got his left arm free and held it up to slash at Scott.
"I got him! Get his hands!" Scott ordered one of us. As Kira and I got behind Liam to grab his arms, Liam pulled free of the loose chains and tackled Scott.
Liam pinned Scott to the ground and tried to attack him, but Scott kept pushing Liam's hands away. One of Liam's hands wrapped around Scott's throat and Scott tried to grab it away. Liam lifted his hand up to scratch, but Kira saved the day. She hit him over the head with an oar.
Liam flipped off of Scott and we all ran around his unconscious body.
"Oh God, I didn't kill him, did I?" Kira asked.
"He's out cold." Scott answered. We all relaxed. "I hope Stiles is having better luck." Scott said.
"Let's hope so." I said as I stood up. Scott and Kira got up to help me drag him back to the beam. We successfully wrapped the chains around Liam and put a lock on.
"Taa daa." I stood up.
Scott and Kira scooted back and sat side by side. I walked over to a stool that sat next to a large window and looked out at the forest. I wanted to give Scott and Kira some privacy.
"He looks so young." Kira observed.
"He is. He's only fifteen." Scott agreed.
I leaned my head against the wall. Even though I knew exactly what it was like to have your whole life thrown upside down by the supernatural, I hardly knew what it was like to be turned into a werewolf. I pulled my green hoodie off and felt the chilled air around me.
"What are we going to do with him?" Kira asked.
"We're going to help him." Scott responded.
"What if he doesn't want our help?" Kira asked another question.
"He will." Was all Scott said.
I closed my eyes and drifted off. It had been a crazy two days and I was ready to calm down for a moment. I let my usually busy mind relax and I fell asleep.
