Hi! Okay, I know this isn't really a continuation of the story, but I just had to write this. It's basically how Liam see's the entire pack; I'll make sure I upload another chapter today (I'll start it straight away). You don't really have to read this since it's not seriously relevant to the story. I just really wanted to include this. Sorry
Liam doesn't really know Stiles as well as some of the others in the pack, but he had gotten a pretty good idea of him.
Stiles could be an asshole. I mean Liam still very much liked Stiles; he could be nice when he wanted to be and was pretty funny when you weren't on the receiving end of his quick quips, but he was still very much an asshole.
Despite this, Liam has spent enough time with the pack (which includes Stiles) to work out the way they work. For example:
Scott was nice to everyone; he was just genuinely a good guy. Even though he was pretty naive at times and preferred to trust everyone rather than the opposing, he was a good leader who made the hard choices (which more often than not meant sparing as many people as possible). He also had a lot on his shoulders, which Liam respected.
Kira was pretty similar to Scott; she was nice to everyone, yet seriously shy. She could be awkward at times, but Liam's stepdad says it builds character (whatever that means). Liam was pretty sure she was pretty insecure; she doesn't really argue with anyone to get her points across (not like Stiles and Lydia) and is always trying to please the pack, however she is badass with that sword.
Jordan was the typical officer, but he was finding it hard balancing his work with the pack, and the whole hellhound debacle really got to him. You can tell Scott liked him because he was very much a peace keeper within the pack, older than everyone and had a good sense of morality.
Kira, Scott and Jordan were very much the most merciful of the pack. Their unofficial job was to maintain the packs good radar and make sure we don't end up like the Alpha Pack (whoever they are)
Now Malia was pretty brutal. The pack told him that she spent half her life in the wild trapped as a coyote (Which Liam secretly thinks is super cool). She doesn't really care about people's feelings and just says what she thinks, she has a soft spot for Stiles though for some reason (Liam is pretty sure if Stiles told her to she would kill everyone in the pack). Her past is pretty terrible though to be honest, and Liam can sympathise with that.
Hayden was amazing. She's not like all those sweet girls at school who cry when they watch The Notebook, she was strong and even though she came off a bitch at first, she was good hearted.
Mason was Liam's best friend. He was like the Stiles to his Scott; loyal and trusting and they told each other everything (it had been really killing him keeping the whole werewolf thing a secret). They stuck by each other through thick and thin and were still going on strong (Even though Liam could see the small amount of strain between Scott and Stiles they try desperately to ignore since Donovan).
Malia, Hayden, Mason and Liam were very much the followers. The ones who got everyone's backs and who the others could trust with their lives in battle (although not so much Mason in battle).
Lydia and Stiles were the hardest to crack; they were both insanely smart and hid behind things (Stiles hides behind his sarcasm and wit, whilst Lydia behind her make-up and bitch persona). They were the detective duo, the brains behind the brawn; they made the plans and made sure everyone didn't go into a battle blind. When you met them, their masks were so thick and personalities so extreme you never really question them, however Liam and the pack spend an awful lot of time with them, and only when you see their masks slip for a second that you realise how fake they are.
It's obvious they both had a dark part to them, no matter how similar their defence mechanisms and skills though they were very different under the masks, yet very similar.
Lydia, Liam realises, is half convinced she's crazy, being a Banshee wasn't easy; that much was obvious, but she had obviously seen much more death than can be healthy for someone's sanity. I mean don't get him wrong, he knows everyone has had their fair share of blows to their mentality, but most of them aren't surrounded by death.
Stiles was actually crazy... at least a little. Liam has gotten most of the story from the rest of the pack and apparently Stiles was possessed once, but none of them dared to ask Stiles about what it was like being trapped in his own head and having memories of murdering dozens of people, but they can imagine how that could be maddening. Stiles is afraid of becoming a murderer, or seen as one, which is why Donovan must have had such a blow on him, it's the first time he actually killed a living being without having an evil fox spirit to blame it on (Even though the pack were all convinced he still blamed himself, anytime the nogitsune is mentioned he reeks of guilt).
Stiles and Lydia both kept their experiences to themselves, keeping the pack on a need to no agenda and trapping the memories into what Liam was sure was a secure volt in their minds. Liam hasn't really managed to work both of them out completely
Liam was also sure Stiles was the second in command to Scott, even if no one said it out loud, he was pretty much like a second leader, with Lydia of course. Apparently Scott, Lydia and Stiles were the only survivors who were there from the beginning (and Liam does not want to go into depth about how seriously messed up that is), which kind of makes them the most experienced and most respected in the pack, to Liam at least (and most probably Mason, Hayden and Kira).
Lydia and Stiles were the brains of the pack. They were rational and untrusting and pretty much the only ones in the pack who never let their guards down around anyone they haven't known since square one (Scott, their parents and each other was their very short list, even though Scott is slowly slipping out). They were the most likely of the pack to end up in a psych ward, in Liam's opinion.
That being said, Liam doesn't know how to feel right now, when Stiles is watching his sister literally disappear from his arms. Guess that's one more thing to add to the list of sad and dark things from Stiles past.
Wow that was allot of writing! I know it's not the most mature style of writing; I was just trying to write in a Liam sort of way, since he's not the most mature in the pack. I mean, I'm not saying his stupid or anything, I just imagine this is what it's like in Liam's head. Reviews are always appreciated. Again sorry :P
