Finally! Nokomis shouted to herself within her own mind – it was the end of the day and that meant that it was time to go watch some Liam… errr, watch some lacrosse? Yeah, that sounded a lot better.

Shoving her books into her bag, she slung it up onto her left shoulder and hurried to her locker to do some more shoving of books until she'd collected and deposited everything that she needed to collect and deposit.

Just as she had closed the door of her locker, Mason came running up to greet her with the biggest smile, "are you ready, because I am so ready!" He exclaimed with excitement written all over his facials.

"Absolutely!" Nokomis did a little fist pump to display enthusiasm for the try-outs, which was rather uncharacteristic of herself but she and Mason were friends now so the insecurities had been removed just as it had been with Liam and Kira. It'd take a bit for her to get comfortable with the others that were in Scott's gang, but she felt confident in herself that it wouldn't take much for her to feel at ease with all of them. "Come on, let's hurry. I don't want to miss anything… besides, you have to explain this crazy sport/game whatever it's referred to as to me so I want shout out something stupid like 'way to bowl a strike'."

Before Mason could even get out the first word of a response, he was being dragged after her by the wrist down the hallway at a speed that could almost be considered a light jog. Noko hadn't even realized she still had a death grip on the poor boy till they reach the field and she quickly let go of him and offered an apology which he waved off with a laugh and said, "now worries! Now, how about we find us some seats? Looks like their getting ready to start."

He was right, they were just about ready and Nokomis was feeling as if she were fixing to explode with exhilaration already. After drawing in a breather, she attempted to calm herself. "Okay, you can lead now." And with that, Mason eagerly strode past her and headed towards the bleachers. She followed shortly after, watching the team as they ran about until finally Coach blew a whistle which she guessed was their cue to stop.

"Wow." She breathed in amazement as her eyes fell upon Liam who dropped right into some pushups while Scott and Stiles were still bringing up the rear and looked to be a bit winded. Nokomis had to hold back a chuckle at this – considering both Kira and Malia were currently sitting just in front of them by a few rows. It'd be extremely hard to weasel her way out of that horrible mistake – well, if the two hadn't been so engrossed into their own things (Malia looked as if she were still studying the same things as earlier and Kira seemed like she was only focused on stressing out over Scott) that is.

She could vaguely hear what they were talking about, but words like 'you reek of anxiety' and 'it's distracting' came up so she figured it'd be best to just tune them out. So she turned to Mason and elbowed him in order to get his attention, "can you like just give me a quick rundown of how things work, and then another time you can go into detail."

"Sure!" He grinned and a couple minutes later he had explained all that he could to Nokomis before she had to ask him to stop. She wasn't exactly sure if all of the information he'd given her had caused the headache she was now feeling, but she did know that if she had to continue listening to him she'd be on the ground writhing in pain sooner than later.

Moving her eyes back to the try-outs, Nokomis watched as the boys lined up in front of the goal so that they could take turns attempting to make a point. She hadn't really paid the black fuzzies at the side of her vision until they had fully engulfed the picture of Scott tossing a ball into one of the rails that held the net of the goal, but by then it was far too late to take action and she soon found herself falling over onto Mason – virtually unconscious.

She wasn't entirely sure how long she had been out, but when she finally came to and took in her surroundings it was absolutely clear that she'd been virtually dead-to-the-world for quite some time. With confusion bringing back the pain in her head, she moved a hand to her forehead and slowly started to sit forward on the hospital bed. What's going on…

After waiting a moment for the throbbing in her temples to subside and to insure that no dizziness accumulated she moved her legs out from under the sheets and off the edge of the cot. Before her bare feet could touch the cold laminate flooring, a blood curdling scream reached her ears.

Okay, she thought, that totally didn't help with the whole creepiness of this situation. Nervously swallowing a risen lump in her throat, Nokomis eased her way towards the cracked door of her room and pulled it open. Tentative at first, she stepped out into the completely abandoned hallway. She didn't know much about hospitals, but shouldn't there have been at least one person in a lab coat walking about?

"Nokomis!" Someone called her name, causing her to jerk her head back in the direction of which the voice had originated. It was Liam and he was hobbling towards her as quickly as quickly as his hurt leg would allow him. "Run!" He shouted at her, his facials hinting at a mixture of both terror and pain.

She was just about to question him when her grayed eyes caught sight of a rather dangerous looking boy, his body cover in… blood.

Fear ran throughout her nervous system and she reactively stumbled backwards, her feet tangling up with each other – causing her to fall backwards. If it wasn't for Liam being there to help her back up, she figured she would have just sat there and waited for the psycho killer looking guy to come and bash her head in. "What's going on, who is that, and why are you limping?" She pleaded for answers, but Liam offered nothing in return as they crashed through the door that lead into a stairwell.

With an arm around his waist, she continued to support his weight as they hurried up the stairs figuring that he must have been the one leading them, because she certainly wouldn't have picked the roof (the one place people always seemed to run to in scary movies) to be their getaway plan.

Once topping the last step, Nokomis reached out to grab the doorknob to the door now in front of them but her attempt was soon denied by the one they'd been trying to escape as she felt herself being grabbed from behind. Letting out a yelp just before being flung back down the flight of stairs they'd just climbed and into a wall.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Trying to fight back her ebbing consciousness to no avail, Nokomis fell into yet another pit of despairing darkness. This time was different from earlier today though (when she actually felt a bit peaceful as she slept), this time there was a confusing point where she thought she was actually about to wake up… a moment where voices could be heard and deciphered as three but unfortunately her body was not able to react. She didn't know how or why, but she was listening in on a conversation that involved Scott, Stiles, and even Liam. Nokomis didn't remember everything they'd discussed but did remember a few details and key-points in what had been said such as – they had kidnapped Liam, had him duct-tapped to a chair, talked about a bite, and then there was some sort of commotion where she thought that-that could of been Liam escaping.

Then she actually did wake up, and again she found herself in a place that not only confused but shocked her because it was actually the same room she'd imagined herself in while the whole Scott, Stiles, and Liam thing had been going on… and as if right on cue, in came a grumbling Stiles and a guilty Scott.

A/N :: I told you guys I'd bring in some action! Now the fun begins, anyone wanna guess what caused Nokomis' first black out?
