Marlow sat on Scott's bed, waiting for him and Stiles to come up the stairs. She couldn't fathom just how Scott had managed to ruin Liam's life in one day. She wrung her hands then got up off the bed and walked into the bathroom where Scott had demanded they throw Liam into the tub after covering his entire body in duct tape. Despite better judgment, she opened the curtain.

Liam gave her a terrified look and Marlow bit her lip. "I am so sorry," she told him.

"Marlow, what are you doing?" Scott asked as he and Stiles walked into the room.

The girl jumped and pulled the curtain shut. "Nothing," she told him. Scott sighed, pulling the curtain open once more. Stiles sighed and forcefully closed the curtain.

The boys sat down on the bed and Marlow looked at them questioningly.

"So you bit him," Stiles said.

"Yeah," Scott answered.

"And you kidnapped him," Stiles said.

"Yeah," Scott answered once more.

"And brought him here," Stiles said accusingly.

"I panicked," Scott answered defensively.

"Yup." Stiles nodded. "This isn't going to end with us burying the pieces of his body out in the desert, is it?" Stiles asked. The three heard Liam groan out as he tried to free himself in the bathtub.

"Stiles, shut up!" Marlow demanded.

"As a reminder, this is why I always come up with the plans. Your plans suck." Stiles told Scott.

"I know. Which is why I called you." Scott said.

"So, what do we do?" Stiles asked.

Liam fought his restraints once more. "Oh I don't know, maybe we should get him out of your bathtub," she said sarcastically.

"That's a given, Marls. I meant after that." Stiles shot back.

Marlow sighed. "How am I supposed to know? Scott bit him." she reminded her brother.

Scott sighed in defeat and Stiles put a chair in the middle of the room. The boys got Liam out of the tub and put him on the chair.

"This is crazy," Marlow said.

Stiles sighed. "What do you want us to do?"

"We can't just leave him here tied up. He has rights." Marlow reminded him.

Stiles waved a hand at her. "I know," he said. "Liam, we're going to take the tape off your mouth. If you scream, it goes right back on. If you talk quietly, it stays off." Stiles told the freshman. "Got it?" he asked. Liam nodded. "Okay," Stiles said motioning for Scott to rip off the tape. Scott didn't get it. Marlow let out an angry sigh and ripped the tape off herself. "Okay, Liam, now you've seen a lot of confusing things tonight. And more confusing things are going to happen because of the confusing things that happened tonight." Stiles explained. Marlow nearly slapped him. "Do you understand?"

"Not really," Liam told him.

"Good. That's good." Stiles mumbled.

"I don't understand either," Scott admitted.

"Who would?!" Marlow burst out.

Stiles waved her off once more. "Maybe you should tell him," he said, turning to Scott.

"Tell me what?" Liam asked, getting angrier by the second. Marlow was surprised he hadn't completely lost it yet.

"Liam. What happened to you, what I did to you, which I had to do in order to save you, - it's going to change you." Scott explained. At least they were getting somewhere now.

"Unless it kills you," Stiles said.

"I swear to God, I will kill you!" Marlow yelled at Stiles. Liam started crying. Marlow was dumbfounded. He did not seem like a crier. Then again, Scott had just bitten him and then they kidnapped him.

"Shouldn't have said that," Stiles admitted. Marlow facepalmed. "Uh Uh-oh. Oh-oh. Is he-Is he crying?" Stiles asked.

Scott kneeled to Liam's level. "Liam, it's okay. You're going to be all right. You're not going to die." he assured him.

"Probably not," Stiles said. Marlow hit the back of his head.

"Stop it," Scott warned.

"Okay, possibly not," Stiles added.

"Stiles," Marlow warned.

"Would you just help me untie him?" Scott asked. Stiles and Scott untied him.

"Liam? Are you okay?" Scott asked.

"We're sorry about that. We're sorry." Stiles assured him. Liam looked up and Marlow saw his face change entirely. He turned and grabbed a chair. Marlow's eyes widened and she ducked away as Liam broke the chair over the boys' heads. "Liam, what the hell is your-Ah!" Stiles yelled as Liam punched him across the face. Liam gave Marlow an accusing look before running from the room. She was mortified.

The boys got up and stumbled out of the room. "Get him!" Stiles yelled. They ran after him. Marlow followed. She only saw them all tumble down the staircase.

"Oh no," Marlow said. She followed them all. When she looked down from the top of the staircase the door was wide open and Scott and Stiles were unknowingly fighting each other. "Oh my God! Are you two serious? How are we gonna explain this one away?" she asked them. She was dreading school. None of this would end well.

Marlow jumped out of the Jeep when the trio arrived at school the next day. "Now remember, I will handle this from now on. You are not to accost him anymore. I will neuter both of you if I see you standing even ten feet away from him." Marlow told the boys.

They had discussed their next move for hours after Liam escaped. Marlow nearly took off their heads. She told them loud and clear that she would be trying to talk to Liam from now on, not them. "Yes, mom. We get it." Stiles told her sarcastically.

"I'm serious. Stay away from him," she repeated as they dispersed.

She walked to the bus stop where she knew Mason, Garrett, and Violet would be. Garrett and Violet parted ways with Mason and he walked off to a panting Liam. Marlow kept her distance. She didn't want to scare Liam off. She tucked her brown hair behind her ear and focused on their conversation. "Hey. Liam, why weren't you on the bus?" Mason asked.

"I ran," Liam answered.

"You ran three miles to school?" Mason asked.

"Yeah," Liam said. "I just started running," he added. Marlow sighed. He was turning into a werewolf for sure.

"So I guess your leg's okay?" Mason asked. His question went unanswered.

Liam panted, steadying himself on a nearby pole. "What happened to your arm?" Mason asked. Liam was not answering. "Dude, are you okay?" Mason asked. Liam turned around and saw Marlow. Mason followed his gaze. "Mar, over here!" he yelled.

"You know her?!" Liam asked.

"Yeah, she's my best friend," Mason told Liam. Liam looked up, Marlow followed his gaze. Scott was pulling a Derek and staring at him from afar. Marlow nearly lost it. She had given them clear instructions.

"I'll talk to you later. I gotta get to class." Liam rambled and ran off.

Mason looked after him confused. Marlow finally reached Mason. "Where's he going so fast?" she asked. Mason didn't know about her or anything supernatural that had happened in this town. Scott told her she could tell him. Marlow never did. She was too scared. And so far she had always been able to keep him out of harm's way.

"I don't know. He's a little weird today," he said.

Marlow shrugged. "It's a school day. Who wouldn't be?" she asked nonchalantly. She knew she had to leave though. She had to get to Liam before Scott and Stiles did. "Hey, Mason I gotta run. I'll see you later okay?" she asked.

Mason nodded, looking at her concerned. "You okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, I'm good. I just need to talk to Stiles before class starts," she said rushing off. She hated leaving him in the dark but she would never endanger him.

Marlow ran into the school. She could hear Liam yelling from three feet away. "Can you just listen for one second? Please?" Scott asked. Marlow slowly walked up to them. Liam motioned for him to go on. "Liam. We're brothers now." Scott told him.

"Ugh." Marlow made.

"What?" Liam asked confusedly.

"Oh, God," Stiles said.

"What are you talking about? We just met and you bit me." Liam reminded Scott.

"The bite-The bite is a gift." Scott went on.

"Are you kidding me?" Marlow asked.

"Scott, stop. Please stop." Stiles said. He joined Scott's side.

"You, you, we're trying to help you, you little runt," Stiles told Liam.

"By kidnapping me?" Liam asked. Touché.

"Just to clarify, Scott and Marlow kidnapped you. Okay? I aided and abetted." Stiles reminded him.

"Liam, I've gone through this before. Something's happening to you. Something big." Scott tried again.

"Nothing's happening to me," Liam said. He ripped the bandage off of his arm. Marlow stared at his spotless skin. He was so turning into a werewolf. "Nothing," he repeated visibly angrier. He turned and walked away. Marlow walked up behind the boys and slapped them both in the back of their heads.

"Ow," Stiles complained. "What was that for?" he asked, turning back to her.

"I told you. My. Way." she told them.

"Your way won't help us. Tonight is a full moon and Liam is a werewolf. We have to explain it to him before something terrible happens." Scott said.

"You can't ease him into it. We have to tell him, better sooner than later." Stiles added.

Marlow sighed. She knew better than anyone what they're talking about. "What's your plan exactly?" she asked.

"We'll figure it out," Scott told her.

"I'll text you when we got something," Stiles told her. The boys walked away from her. Marlow sighed and headed off to class.

Stiles texted her during lunch. She walked to the bus where the pack was already discussing solutions. "I'm not sharing my basement." she heard Malia say as she joined them.

"Actually, it's my basement. And my mom noticed how you tore it up last time." Lydia told Malia.

"All right, she's still learning," Stiles said defensively.

"But, we're going to use the boathouse for Liam. It's got support beams. We can chain him to one of them." Scott told them.

"But how do we get him out to the lake house if he doesn't trust us?" Kira asked.

"Good question," Marlow added.

"I say if it keeps him from murdering someone we chloroform the little bastard and throw him in the lake," Stiles said. Marlow gave him an annoyed look, shifting her weight from one leg to another.

"I'm in," Malia said, raising her hand.

"Stop it, both of you," Marlow warned.

"We're not killing or kidnapping him." Scott chimed in.

"Then let's be smarter. We tell him there's a party and invite him." Lydia offered.

Marlow pointed at Lydia. "Finally! Someone with a good idea!"

Stiles chuckled. "So, you're going to ask out a freshman?" he asked Lydia.

"No, I'm done with teenage boys. But, if we're playing a trick on someone, we'll have to use the trickster." Lydia said, looking at Kira.

Kira gave her a wide-eyed look. She was terrified. "Who? Me? No way. Not me."

"Yes, you. Do you know what they call a female fox? A vixen." Lydia told her with a smirk.

"No. It's not gonna work. Why don't we have Marlow do it? She's the only one who's a freshman and knows him." Kira suggested.

"Exactly. She knows him already and he doesn't trust her." Stiles reminded her.

"I think she can do it," Kira said.

"I for one think she should do it, actually," Malia said. The group stared at her. "What, I can smell the fact that she has a crush on him from a mile away," she said defensively.

The group looked back at Marlow questioningly. "No.," she said quickly.

"Yes," Malia told her bluntly.

"Yes, you do," Lydia added.

"Backstabber," Marlow told her accusingly. "It doesn't matter anyway, he won't trust me one bit."

"I'll come with. If you can't do it, I will." Kira assured her.

Marlow sighed. "Fine!" she yelled.

After a beat of silence, Stiles looked at his sister. "You don't actually like Liam do you?"

"Ugh," Marlow said and walked away with Kira trailing after her.

"When Liam comes out of class, just be all sexy and walk down the stairs. Then you tell him about the party and invite him and we'll do the rest." Kira repeated for the fifth time now.

"I got it, Kira, don't worry," Marlow said as the bell rang.

"Go, go, go!" Kira whispered, pushing her forward.

Liam and Mason walked out of the classroom. Marlow walked down the stairs when she caught Liam's attention. He looked like he was contemplating running away again. But he stood still anyway. Marlow made it downstairs but stumbled over her feet a few steps away from the boys. "Oh crap!" she complained, falling forwards. Liam caught her before she could fall. "Thanks." Marlow breathed out as Liam pushed her back up.

"You're welcome," he said, slightly uncomfortable.

"Hey, so Liam, my friend Lydia is throwing a party and I wanted to know if you wanted to go with me?" Marlow asked, making sure to push a strand of her hair back in a flirty motion. Liam raised an eyebrow. Mason looked at her confused even though he had encouraged her to go for it with Liam just two days ago.

"Since when does Lydia Martin invite freshman to any party of hers?" he asked.

"Since, recently," Marlow replied quickly. She slapped herself internally. She should have done this while Liam was still alone. "So?" she asked Liam.

"You want me to take you to a party? After everything that happened yesterday?"

"I wanted to apologize for that. I realize I should have never let it come that far. So, yeah, sorry for that." she said.

He nodded. "Will your brother and Scott leave me alone if I go?" Liam asked after a few seconds.

"Yes!"

"Okay, I'm in," he sighed.

Marlow smiled at him. "Great. My friend Kira and I will pick you up. I'll text you then," she said, turning on her heel.

"Don't you need my number for that?" Liam asked. Marlow laughed under her breath, turning back around.

"Of course," she said, fumbling for her phone in her pocket. She turned back to give Kira a thumbs up as Liam typed his number into her phone. She had no idea how this worked but was glad she got it over with.

"Mason, I swear to you, I'm not dropping you as my best friend. We've been best friends since I threw that doll at you in kindergarten and we will continue to be. I didn't invite you to the party because I need to apologize to Liam. On my own. I swear I still love you." Marlow said. Mason had been talking to her for the last twenty minutes on the phone, thinking she was ditching him for Liam. If there was one thing Marlow would never do, it was ditch Mason.

"So are you finally gonna ask him out on an actual date?" Mason asked.

"What? No! Stiles and Scott did something to him last night. I have to apologize for that. Because if I let those idiots do it, he'll eventually think we're all crazy and report us to the police or something." Marlow said as she applied some more eyeshadow.

"Jesus, what did you do to him?" Mason asked, chuckling.

"Nothing illegal," Marlow said. Lie. "He was just pissed that Scott tackled him and almost broke his leg," she added. Lie.

"Okay, if you say so," Mason said. "So, what are you wearing? You need to impress Liam if you're aiming for a second date."

Marlow rolled her eyes. "Not a date, which means I'm wearing my usual outfit."

"No, no, no! Even if this isn't a date with Liam, you might still meet some other hot guy at that party. Jeans and a T-Shirt won't cut it this time."

Marlow sighed. "Mason..." she said.

"No, listen to me, remember you bought that denim romper-dress and it had like a black skirt attached to it."

Marlow raised an eyebrow. "Since when do you know so much about fashion?" she asked.

"Since I want you to score with someone, anyone tonight," he said. "Now, put that on. And those thigh-high boots. And do a high-ponytail. That'll do the trick." he added.

Marlow sighed. "Fine," she said.

"That's my girl. Liam will be drooling over you," he said. Liam won't be doing much of that this night.

"Thanks, future fashion guru Hewitt," she said.

He laughed. "Okay, good luck. Bye, bye," he said.

"Bye," Marlow said, hanging up.

She went over to the closet and pulled the dress out. Might as well keep the party lies up. A few minutes later she walked out of her room. "Marlow, Kira's here!" Stiles said, stopping dead in his tracks as he looked at her. "Are you wearing that?" he asked.

"Why? Is something wrong with it?" Marlow asked, looking down at it.

"No! It's not that, it's just - wow! This is a lot for a made-up party." he said, gesturing wildly.

Marlow smiled at him. "Stiles, calm down. If I show up to Liam's house to pick him up for a party looking like always he'll get suspicious," she assured her brother.

He nodded. "Okay, fine. Just be safe," he warned.

Marlow squeezed his shoulder as she walked past him. "I know. I will be fine," she told him as she walked away.

Marlow stood in front of Liam's house. She shook her hands nervously. A lot was riding on this plan and if she screwed it up just now, Liam might do something he'd regret later. Finally, she knocked on the door.

One of the doctors from the hospital opened the door. "Yes?" he asked.

"Hi, I'm Marlow. I came to pick up Liam." Marlow greeted with a wave.

"Ah, yes of course," he said. He turned back. "Liam! Your friend is here!" he yelled upstairs.

Liam came rushing down the stairs a few seconds later. "I'm coming!" he yelled. He looked at Marlow, taken aback. "Oh wow," he said. "You look great." he quickly added.

Marlow looked down on herself. "Thanks. So do you," she said. Kira honked the car horn. "I think we should go. Our ride's waiting."

"Yeah, of course," Liam said. He walked past his dad, who lightly grabbed his arm before he could leave.

"She seems sweet. Next time you pick her up," he whispered to him. Marlow smiled to herself.

Liam sighed. "Yes dad," he said, before walking out the door. The two walked to the car. "You promise this isn't another ambush?" he asked her.

"Solemnly swear," she said. She truly hated how good she had gotten at lying. They got into the car and Kira drove off.

The ride to Lydia's lakehouse was endless and throughout it, Liam was showing more and more signs of turning. When they finally arrived at the house and got out of the car Liam looked around confusedly. All of the lights were out and naturally, there were only two other cars besides Kira's. "Where is everyone?" he asked. Marlow looked around nervously. There were about a thousand things that could go wrong.

"They're here. It's a small party." Kira assured him. Marlow nodded for reinforcement.

"You said everyone was coming," Liam said, looking over at Marlow. Her heart was racing. She hated lying. But right there at that moment, everyone relied on her to get Liam to the party and ensure he'd stay. So she put on her brave face and walked up to him, linking her arm with his.

"They'll be here, Liam. Don't worry. We're just - early." she told him, putting on a sweet smile. He narrowed his eyes at her. "Come on. I told you, you can trust me," she assured him. And she meant it. She could trust him with his safety. She squeezed his shoulder reassuringly as Kira opened the door to the house. Marlow truly did feel bad about lying to him but out of all people, she knew what could happen when a newly turned shapeshifter didn't know what they were doing. She led Liam inside where Scott, Stiles, Malia, and Lydia were already gathered and waiting for them. She unlinked their arms and took a step back.

Kira locked the door and gave Liam an apologetic smile. "Sorry," she said.

Liam's face faltered as he looked at Marlow. "Me too," she told him.

Liam turned back to the others. "What the hell is this?" he asked.

"Think of it as an intervention. You have a problem, Liam." Stiles told him.

"And we're the only ones that can help," Scott added. Marlow put his hand on her shoulder and Liam shrugged it off. She let her arm fall back to her side. Kira gave her a quick side hug. She knew Marlow hated this. "Liam, look, we know you don't like us all that much but we have some things to explain to you," Scott said. Liam let out an annoyed sigh.

"It's not a joke, Liam," Marlow told him. He shook his head.

"Listen, we're just gonna break this to you know because we don't much time." Malia chimed in.

"Liam, you're a werewolf," Scott added quickly as if to rip the bandaid off quickly.

Liam scoffed. "You have got to be kidding me," he said, shaking his head.

"It's true. I know because I am one too." Scott assured him.

Liam looked back and forth between the group. "Oh, okay, so what are all of you?" he asked with just the slightest hint of sarcasm.

"I'm a Banshee," Lydia told him. "I can sense when someone is close to dying," she added.

"I'm a werecoyote," Malia said.

"Same here," Marlow added.

Liam turned back to her. "Does Mason know that?" he asked.

"No, and if you tell him I will for sure kick you in the nuts," Marlow told him. There was the slightest hint of a smirk on his face before Kira spoke up.

"And I'm kind of like a fox," she said.

Liam narrowed his eyes once more as he turned back to the group. "Werewolf? Werecoyotes. Banshee." he said, pointing at each individual. Liam turned around to face Kira. "Fox?"

"Kitsune. But fox works," she told him.

"What are you?" Liam asked Stiles.

"Uh, for a little while, I was possessed by an evil spirit. It was very evil." Stiles explained and Marlow began to wonder why they even took him with them.

"What are you now?" Liam asked.

Stiles looked around helplessly. "Better. Um..."

Liam looked down at the table where Malia's chains were lying on. "Are those for me?"

"No, they're for me," Malia told him, flashing her icy blue eyes.

Liam took a step back. "How did you do that?" he asked, somewhat panicking.

"You'll learn. But first, you need to get through the full moon." Scott told him.

"The moon's already out." Liam pointed out. Marlow's heart began to race. There was a sudden change of tone in Liam's voice. Just like the night, he fled from Scott's house.

"And you're starting to feel something, aren't you?" Scott asked.

"I feel like I'm surrounded by a bunch of psychotic nutjobs. You guys are out of your freaking minds. 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 yelled before falling to the floor, clutching his ears in pain.

"What's wrong? Liam?" Scott asked, slowly approaching him.

Marlow held on to him as he clutched his ears harder. "You don't hear that?" he asked.

Marlow narrowed her eyes. She focused her ears and heard a bunch of engines and car horns outside.

"Did you tell someone about this?" Lydia asked.

"My friend Mason," Liam admitted. Marlow sighed. If Mason was coming, he'd probably bring the entire freshman class with him. "You said it was a party," he told Marlow as she held on to him.

"I know but how did not see through that lie?" she asked helplessly.

"Who did Mason invite?" Stiles asked.

"I'm assuming everyone, Stiles. You know what he's like." Marlow reminded him.

"She's just about right," Kira added as she looked out of the window.

Liam's claws extended and he dragged his hands across the floor, nearly driving Lydia insane. "The floors! Get him off the floors!" she demanded. Liam looked up and her an roared, forcing Lydia to take a step back.

"We need to get him to the boathouse. Now!" Scott demanded. Marlow let go of him and Scott and Kira led Liam outback.

"Uh!" Malia said, holding onto the table. "Stiles..." she said, turning back to him with a roar. Stiles took a step back then grabbed Malia and the bag with the chains.

"Hey-Okay, basement. Now. Now." he demanded, ready to lead her downstairs.

"What am I supposed to do with the hordes gathering outside the door?" Lydia asked at a loss for words. This was not planned at all.

"Lydia, who throws the best parties in Beacon Hills?" Stiles asked rhetorically.

"What?" Lydia asked back. "Me, obviously," she added.

Stiles and Malia waved at her. "Okay, then throw a party," he said before disappearing downstairs with Malia. Lydia turned to Marlow, mouth agape.

Uch!" she complained. She walked past the brunette, up to the door. "This is your fault. These are your friends!" she said, walking by.

Marlow raised her hands defensively. "I didn't invite any of them!"

Marlow walked up behind Lydia as she opened the door. It indeed looked like the entire freshman class was standing behind Mason and Marlow wanted to break something.

"Hey." Mason greeted.

"Hey, Mase," Marlow said, smiling through the pain.

"Uh, are we in the right place?" he asked, looking around the empty house.

"For the party?" Garrett asked. Marlow sighed as Lydia looked back at her.

The strawberry blonde put on her biggest smile and turned back to Mason. "Absolutely," she said. The crowd cheered and entered the house. Lydia turned back to Marlow, eyes wide open as she let the hoards fill in.

Marlow was unsure of where to go. She knew for a fact she wouldn't be welcome in the basement with it being one of Malia's first few full moons. She didn't want to intrude in the boathouse, thinking two people were already enough for Liam to handle in this state and she sure as hell couldn't just start to party with everyone else.

So Marlow did what Marlow did best. Damage control. Lydia was not happy to have a bunch of freshmen in the house. Understandable, as she had also confided in Marlow that Lydia's mother Natalie had to put the house up on the market for sale. So Marlow did her best to stop her classmates from wrecking the house.

Mason ran up to her with the biggest smile on his face. "Oh my God, Marlow! This is insane," he told her.

He was practically raving and Marlow had to pull him back into reality. "Mason, I love you. But I am going to kill you."

Mason gave her a confused look. "What did I do?" he asked.

"Who said you could come to the party and bring the entire freshman class with you?"

"Well, Miss Marlow, you said that Lydia Martin was throwing a party and inviting freshmen and I didn't want to spend another night watching movies at my place with Garrett and Violet. So here I am." Marlow sighed. This was getting out of hand. "Where's Liam, by the way?" Mason asked.

Marlow's heart skipped a beat. "Uhh, he's here somewhere probably." Marlow lied through her teeth.

"I'm gonna go find him. And then we're all gonna have some fun. Do you hear me Mar?" he asked.

Marlow stifled a frustrated scream. "Mason-hey, you! Get that wine glass off that extremely expensive table!" Marlow yelled, trying to overpower the music as Mason left her side. "Wait, Mason - no!" she yelled as someone lifted her over their shoulders. "Hey! Let me down, I swear to God!" she yelled. She was swiftly put back on the ground. She stumbled back a little, nearly passing out. This was too much. She couldn't see Mason anymore but saw that Lydia was rushing up the stairs. She needed air - quickly! As Marlow walked to the backdoor, she looked at the partygoers and wondered if this was her Titanic moment. "Time to abandon ship," she said before walking out.

Marlow slowly made her way out to the boathouse. She couldn't stand to be inside one more second and had to know what was going on with Liam. She wasn't even halfway from the house when she heard a window smash. She turned back to the house, wide-eyed, but every window there still seemed to be intact so it had to have been Liam. "Oh man!" she yelled angrily. It was like nothing was going right. But when did it ever?

She ran to the boathouse. Kira was standing inside, looking at a broken window. She didn't know what to do anymore either.

"What happened?" Marlow asked alarmed by Scott and Liam both being gone. Kira pointed at one of the support beams.

"He broke the chains," she said.

"And jumped out the window," Marlow concluded. Kira nodded. "I just-I'm gonna try to follow them. Could you please just go back to the house and make sure Lydia doesn't lose her mind?" Marlow asked defeatedly. Kira nodded and they parted ways. Marlow took off for the fighting noises.

She ran through the woods, trying to catch Scott or Liam's scent. Marlow wasn't even sure why she was invested in this. Probably because she should have fought harder to keep Scott and Stiles away from Liam. Him turning into a werewolf was just as much her fault as it was theirs. She skidded to a stop. They had to have gained ground on her already. She could feel the roar building inside of her. She let it out, hoping Scott would hear her and report back.

Marlow could hear it off in the distance and ran towards the echo of the sound. She arrived too late as Liam had already overpowered Scott and pinned him to a tree, most likely ready to tear him apart. "It's all your fault! This is your fault!" Liam yelled at Scott.

"Liam, stop it!" Marlow yelled, nearly dropping to the floor. Liam turned back to her, anger in his yellow-glowing eyes.

"You lied! You swore you wouldn't lie!" he yelled, running at her. Marlow shifted, roaring at him as she deflected his attack. She pushed him to the floor, he grabbed her ankle and pulled her down with him. He was on top of her, still angry. "You lied!" he yelled again.

Marlow tried holding Liam away from her. "Get off!" she demanded. Scott roared, his eyes glowing red. He pulled Liam off of Marlow and suddenly there were a bang and blinding light. Marlow knew exactly what that meant and shielded her eyes.

When she opened them again, Liam had taken off deeper into the woods. Scott helped her up. "Are you okay?" he asked her, his hands on her shoulders.

Marlow nodded. "I'm fine," she assured him.

He nodded and both turned back around to see Chris Argent walking up to them. "How did you know?" Scott asked him.

"I got your text," he told Scott. "There's a clearing just north of here. All you have to do is corral him there. The rest is taken care of." Chris explained to Scott.

"What are you going to do?" Scott asked.

"He's your Beta, Scott." Chris reminded him. "The better question is what are you going to do?" he asked.

"He won't listen to me," Scott informed Chris.

"He will if you start using your own words," Chris suggested. They heard Liam yelp out in distance. "Here," Chris said, handing Scott the remote to his traps. "Go," he added and Scott took off.

Marlow let out a relieved sigh. She engulfed Chris in a hug. "I've missed you so much."

"I missed you too," he said. They broke apart. "A lot has happened, huh?" he asked, looking out towards the woods.

Marlow nodded. "You could say that, yeah."

"We should probably go after them. Make sure nothing goes wrong." Chris suggested. Marlow nodded and they walked off.

When they arrived Liam was sitting inside a circle of traps. Scott kneeled in front of him. "They can't know about this." Liam brought out between heavy breaths. "My mom, my stepdad, I can't do this to them again."

"What do you mean again?" Scott asked.

"I got kicked out of school and I deserved it. The way they looked at me when they saw what I did to that car..." Liam explained.

"Liam, it's okay," Scott assured him.

"They can't see me like this." he sobbed.

"Like a monster?" Scott asked. He got up, looking down at Liam. "You're not a monster. You're a werewolf." Scott told Liam. "Like me," he added. Liam looked up at Scott.

"And you're not alone! You have friends now. A pack!" Marlow assured him. She walked down the hill, next to Scott. "We're gonna be here to help you get through it," she added. "I solemnly swear. For real this time," she said. Scott offered Liam his hand. He took it and got up. "Now let's go back to the house. Kira texted me. Lydia's got something on the code." Marlow told them.

They walked back in the direction of the house. Scott and Chris were up ahead, with Scott filling Chris in on the situation with his sister Kate. "I'm sorry." Liam suddenly said. Marlow looked at him. "For nearly taking your head off back there," he added.

"It's fine," she assured him. "I did a lot worse on my first full moon," she added. He nodded. "But you have time. And you'll get it down pat. Promise." she said.

He smiled at her. "Thanks."

"I'm also sorry, by the way. I hate lying," she admitted.

"You're pretty good at it though," he said.

"That's not always something I want to hear. But thank you," she said. Once they got back to the house, Chris parted ways with them, and Marlow, Scott, and Liam got the partygoers to leave by claiming the cops were on their way. After everyone had filed out of the house Lydia and Kira came back downstairs. Stiles and Malia were nowhere to be seen, so they were most likely still working everything out.

"It's a Deadpool," Lydia told them.

"A what?" Marlow asked.

"A list of supernaturals in Beacon Hills," Kira explained.

"And we're all on it," Lydia added.
