Chapter 7

Unshakeable

Dr. Geyer was pacing in the living room. He was very agitated because Liam was supposed to be home eight hours ago for dinner. Now that it was two in the morning he was getting rather irritated and upset, not to mention worried. When he made the umpteenth pass by his wife she finally broke down and spoke. "Maybe he is with Scott doing werewolf stuff."

Dr. Geyer sighed. "I don't know if that eases my mind more or if that makes me even more worried."

Liam's mom sighed. "Well, have you checked with Scott's mom?"

Dr. Geyer stopped and he pulled out his phone and called the hospital. After navigating the switchboard to get through to the Nurse's Station, the line rang three times. "Beacon Hills Memorial, Nurse's Station, this is Melissa."

"Hey Melissa, its Dr. Geyer, I am calling to see if you have heard anything from Scott tonight? And I do apologize for bothering you at work tonight with this."

Melissa cleared her throat. "No, I am sorry I haven't. The last time that I talked to Scott was this morning before he left for school."

Well crap. Dr. Geyer thought. "Well, Liam was supposed to be home for dinner tonight and he hasn't shown up, and I just thought that maybe there might have been some sort of thing that was going on that maybe he didn't want to tell us about. Since he still hasn't seemed to really open up about things."

Melissa was quiet for a moment. "No, Scott didn't say that there was anything going on to me, other than that he was taking Liam to the mall tonight to get a Secret Santa gift for Derek. I can see of I can't get a hold of him."

"Sure that would be great." Dr. Geyer said.

Just then the doorbell rang. Frowning Dr. Geyer turned to look at his wife, who wore a similar confused expression. "Hold on a second Melissa."

Both adults crossed to the front door and upon opening it did they find Scott and someone that Dr. Geyer didn't know. "Never mind, Melissa, Scott is here."

With that Dr. Geyer hung up the phone as Mrs. Geyer motioned for the two to come in and go to the living room. Once the door was closed, Dr. Geyer lit into Scott. "Where's Liam?"

Scott looked at the floor before he replied. "That's why I am here."

Dr. Geyer noticed his wife's hands move to her mouth and seem to wipe her mouth before she spoke. "Did something happen to Liam?"

Scott was about to reply when a loud crash came from overhead. Every eye looked up at the ceiling. Dr. Geyer was confused by the sound. "That came from Liam's room."

Before Dr. Geyer and his wife could move, they felt more than saw Scott and his companion move towards the stairs and with Scott, leaping up the first flight of steps to the landing and then another leap up to the second floor. They noticed that Scott's companion taking the stairs like a normal person, but hurrying up them. Both Dr. Geyer and his wife hurried after them.

Scott hit the landing on the second floor and turned to Liam's room. Scott was aware that Derek was right behind him as he moved along the hall next to the stairs. Once at Liam's door he turned the knob and moved into the room. He noticed that Liam's parents were just reaching the top of the stairs. Scott did a quick survey of the room and noticed that Liam was sprawled out on the bed as if he had been tossed into it. Then Scott noticed that a lamp was lying on the floor in pieces.

Scott then also noticed that the window was open. Scott moved to the open window and scanned the street and he saw no sign of Allison, Aiden, or Alexander. Turning around Scott then moved to Liam just as his parents came in. Scott heard Liam's mom give something between a gasp and a shriek. Scott then noticed the large amount of bruising on the side of his face. It also looked like Liam's jaw was dislocated.

Dr. Geyer turned to Scott and asked angrily. "Scott, what the hell happened to him?!"

Scott shrugged. "I don't know what happened to him. I was bringing him and Hayden here when we were ambushed in the jeep. We were then attacked by these new supernatural creatures and when they withdrew, the used the Flash Arrows that the Argents used to use to temporarily blind us and then the next thing I know is that Liam is missing. I have been trying to find him."

Scott noticed the raised eyebrow that Derek gave him when he said that he had been looking for Liam, when he was actually moping around the countryside. Dr. Geyer frowned as he started to look Liam over. "Why would they take Liam? Or why bring him home for that matter?"

Scott shook his head. "I don't know."

Scott moved over and he tried to place his hand on Liam when Dr. Geyer snapped at him. "Don't touch him. There might be more wrong with him. I can already tell that his jaw is dislocated. There might be head trauma."

"Please I just want to help."

"We should have Deaton look at him." Everyone turned to look at Derek. Liam's parents seemed more insulted than anything. Derek cleared his throat. "With all due respect to you as a doctor, Liam isn't really human anymore."

Scott noticed that Liam's mom looked torn between wanting to let her husband do his job and going off of Derek's advice. Dr. Geyer had a look that seemed to read like Derek was insulting him. "What can this Deaton fellow do that I can't?"

Derek moved from foot to foot like the statement should be obvious. "Deaton has more experience with werewolves than you do. There could be something going on supernaturally that we don't know and Deaton can figure things out from there."

Scott could see that Dr. Geyer was not happy about it, but he nodded. "Get Deaton here."

Scott called Deaton, who gave no indication that he was annoyed considering what time it was, and gave him the details of Liam's condition and the address with him arriving 20 minutes later. After examining Liam, Deaton agreed that Liam's jaw was dislocated and with the help of Dr. Geyer they reset it. Going over the rest of Liam, Deaton determined that Liam was just knocked out.

"Scott, can you please help, Liam." Deaton said as he stood up.

Dr. Geyer gave Deaton a funny look as Scott grabbed Liam by his shoulder. "What's Scott doing?"

But before Deaton could reply, Dr. Geyer noticed Scott's veins turning black and freaked out and tried to pull Scott off of Liam. Deaton grabbed Dr. Geyer by the arm. "Everything is alright. Scott is just taking Liam's pain away."

"What?" Asked Liam's mom, as she watched Scott's veins continue to pulse black and go up his arms.

"Werewolves have the ability to take away someone's pain. It's kind of like a pain killer in a way. What Scott is doing is basically dulling the pain that Liam's in. They can do it with animals too." Deaton replied.

Dr. Geyer frowned. "Doesn't it hurt?"

Deaton shrugged. "It is really more of a discomfort than anything, but it depends on the injury for how intense it is. But Liam should be able to heal a little more easily." Deaton paused and looked over Liam's head. "Actually you can see that he is already healing." Deaton pointed to Liam's head where the bruising was no longer a very dark purple, but a lighter one. " So he should be fine in a couple of hours."

Dr. Geyer turned to Deaton. "How long does it take for injuries to heal?"

Deaton pointed his eyes to the ceiling in thought before he looked back at Dr. Geyer. "Again it depends on what the type of injury is and what caused it. Normal bumps and bruises will last typically from a few minutes to a couple hours. Broken bones will be anywhere from a few hours to a day or two. Burns and such could take longer. But it also depends on if the injuries are caused by another Beta or Alpha or another creature entirely."

"Why would that make a difference?"

"If the injuries are inflicted by an Alpha to a Beta, like Scott and Liam, the injuries are there to serve as a reminder to the Beta who is in charge. Beta against Beta, they should heal about the same, again depending on the injuries inflicted and the same goes for other creatures."

There was a groan from the bed and Scott let go of Liam. Scott stood up to give his knees a break and he swooned for a moment. Deaton caught Scott by the elbow, after moment Scott nodded that he was fine. A moment later Liam started to move and he moved to his back as he groaned and then he opened his eyes and stared at everyone blearily. "Did somebody get the license plate of that bus that hit me?"

Deaton stepped forward. "Do you know who you are?"

Liam blinked a few times before he answered. "Liam Dunbar."

Deaton nodded. "Do you know who we are and where you're at?"

Frowning Liam looked around. "I am in my room at my house. There is my mom, my dad, Derek, Scott and you're Deaton."

Deaton smiled. "Well I think he is going to make a complete recovery."

Dr. Geyer frowned. "Don't you think that is a little presumptuous?"

Deaton smiled. "In my experience working with werewolves, you kind of get a feel for how things will work out."

Scott kneeled next to Liam again, and he wrapped Liam into a hug. Scott had a few tears falling down his cheeks. "God, I was so worried about you."

Liam raised his arms and hands and wrapped them around Scott. Scott's right thumb started to make circular motions at the base of Liam's hair line on his neck. "I am alright Scott."

Scott shook his head and sighed. "I should have been the one taken. You shouldn't have been taken."

Liam gulped. "Scott, you would have done it for me. That's why I decided to take the hit."

Scott moved back and looked Liam in the eyes and saw that the young Beta meant what he said and it seemed to melt his heart a little bit. "Alright well, you get some rest tonight. We will meet tomorrow afternoon and figure out what they wanted. Get some sleep."

With that Scott let Liam go and he stood up. He moved and when he got close to Dr. Geyer he grabbed Scott by the elbow. "Don't you think that making Liam go through this again is a bit cold hearted?"

Scott shook his head. "Alpha's have a way to access someone's memories, it's not really painful and there are no lasting side effects."

Dr. Geyer didn't seem too pleased with that answer. Deaton cleared his throat. "Perhaps if you came with Liam tomorrow, then I can walk you through what is going on as Scott performs the action."

Dr. Geyer nodded and he allowed Scott and Derek to leave. Derek remained silent as he drove to Scott's house in his black Camaro. Once there Scott noticed, Ethan's bike was in the drive, Stiles' jeep with the two spare tires on it also parked on the street with Lydia's car. Derek pulled in behind Lydia's car and parked and got out. As Scott got out of the Camaro, he noticed Derek had opened the trunk and grabbed a duffel bag out of it.

"What are you doing, Derek?"

Derek raised an eyebrow. "I am staying here with you tonight."

Scott frowned. "But don't you still own your loft?"

Derek nodded. "I do, but it's not reinforced with Mountain Ash. Plus everyone else is here."

Scott frowned, but led the way up to his house decorated with Christmas lights and tacky inflatable Santa Claus riding a motorcycle in the front yard. Stiles met them at the front door almost knocking off the wreath on it and Scott noticed that the Mountain Ash was in place, but Stiles broke the seal so that Scott and Derek could cross. "It was Lydia's idea."

Scott sighed and he barely stepped into the living room, when he was barraged with questions. "Where did you go?"

"Are you okay?"

"What are we going to do about Liam?"

"You're still the same old screw up, McCall."

Everyone fell silent and looked at Jackson. He looked around at the assembled group. "What? From what I've heard tonight nothing has really changed since I left other than that he's supposed to be some big bad Alpha, who can't seem to do anything right."

Scott didn't say anything, though it was Lydia. "Oh, like you have the room to talk, Jackson. You ran away from your problems because you didn't want to deal with it. You did what you always do, you take what you want and leave everyone else with your mess to clean up."

Jackson suddenly was looking at the floor like a child who had been scolded for stealing cookies out of the cookie jar. Lydia turned to Scott. "Do you have any ideas as to how we're going to find, Liam?"

Scott looked around and shook his head. "He's at home."

Everyone wore a confused face. Stiles recovered first. "Wait, he's at home?"

Scott nodded. "Alexander must have gotten the information that he wanted because he let Liam go. I stopped by there with Derek to explain things to his parents, but before I could say anything really, a lamp crashed in his room, and we went up and found him on his bed. Deaton came by and said that he would be alright in a few hours."

"Did Liam say what Alexander wanted?" Malia asked.

Scott shook his head. "No, I told Liam to get some rest tonight and that we would meet up tomorrow afternoon and I will look at his memories to see what Alexander wanted for information."

Lydia nodded. "Sounds like a plan to me, and which means we should all get some sleep. But Scott, I want to talk to you privately for a moment."

Lydia then opened up her purse and she then started handing out what looked like ear plugs. "Now since I want this to remain a private question, I have ear plugs for every super hearing individual here. Isaac these are for you. Jackson these are yours, Malia, Derek here you go. Oh Hayden and Ethan these are for you."

Ethan took them but shook his head. "I don't need them. I already know what you're going to talk to him about."

Hayden nodded. "Me too, I have known for a while."

Lydia gave both Ethan and Hayden a look that had surprise, understanding, and what could be described as possibly respect for them. She then turned to Derek. "Make sure everyone puts their ear plugs in, and make sure that they all stay put." Lydia's eyes darted to where Stiles was standing.

Stiles lifted his hands in a gesture that clearly read that he was exasperated. "Why do I have to stay put?"

Lydia ignored the comment and when she saw that Derek nodded and then rip open his ear plug package and then proceeded to stuff them in his ears and then watched as the others followed suit.

Lydia grabbed Scott by his wrist and led him into the kitchen.

Lydia leaned against the sink as she watched Scott as he sat on the kitchen counter. Lydia sighed as she gathered up her thoughts for the conversation that she was about to have with Scott. "Scott, I know what you said earlier at school, but I just want to ask you again. Do you have any feelings for Liam?"

Scott let out a laugh that sounded like a bark. "Lydia, I told you that I just like Liam as a friend."

Lydia exhaled and looked at the ceiling. "Ok, but I think that on some level you actually do."

Scott frowned. "He's just a…"

"I know what you said, Scott." Lydia interrupted. "However with the way that you're acting it almost seems like you care more than what you say you do. Take that medicine cart you dented up at Deaton's tonight for example before you ran off."

Scott was quiet as he thought back on it. Lydia saw him thinking so she continued on. "Besides I think that Liam has feelings for you though."

Scott looked up questioningly at her with a disbelieving smile on his face. "Why do you say that?"

Lydia rolled her eyes. "Ever since he broke things off with Hayden, he seems to stay closer to you. Plus he's been dressing more trendy than usual, which I think Mason is helping him with. Plus there was the thing with the janitors' closet at school when Coach Finstock found you guys." Lydia paused for a breath. "I know that you said that it wasn't what it looked like, but by the way that Liam was acting when Coach dismissed you guys it looked like he wanted to be anywhere but there."

Scott nodded. "He was just embarrassed as I was by what Coach was assuming had happened."

Lydia let out sigh to let Scott know that she thought he was being stupid on purpose. "Scott, I love you, but sometimes you can be pretty dense. Yes, Liam was embarrassed, because he thought that Coach had unintentionally outed him to you, who he is attracted to, but he doesn't want to tell, because he is afraid of how you're going to react."

Scott blinked three times as he processed that. "So you're saying that Liam is in love with me?"

Lydia felt like she needed to bang her head on something. "Yes, I am. And apparently that it is evident enough that Hayden and Ethan know."

Scott was now frowning. "I don't know Lydia."

Lydia moved from her position against the sink to stand in front of Scott and she placed her hands on both sides of his face. "Scott, I know that you love Allison with all of your heart. Forget whatever Alexander says, that thing can't be Allison. And I know that in your own weird way that you loved Kira. You weren't sure of your feelings at first for Kira, is it possible that you're going through the same thing about your feelings for Liam?"

Scott's frown only seemed to increase. Lydia could see the gears turning in his head as it were. But before Lydia could press any further, a loud squawking sound came from the front entrance. Lydia turned to see Stiles pinned up against the wall one handed by Derek, who was wearing his trademark annoyed with Stiles face. Lydia sighed and turned back to Scott. "Just think about what I said."

Scott nodded. "I will give it some thought Lydia." Glancing over at Stiles and Derek, Scott smiled. "I better go break it up before Stiles starts turning blue."

With that he and Lydia broke out into giggles and Scott slide off the counter to break up the entertaining sight of Stiles trying to break Derek's grip on his throat as his legs kept kicking about.

The pack was assembled in the exam room again with everyone along with Liam, Deaton and Liam's stepdad. Chris Argent was the only one missing in attendance. Scott looked at Liam as he sat on the exam table. "Are you ready?"

Liam nodded and Scott flexed his fingers on his right hand then he moved them to Liam's neck and pressed his claws in. Scott searched Liam's memories. Scott saw Liam move to push him out of the way and then get pierced by the arrow and then jerked off his feet and dragged then Aiden's face and then Aiden raising a fist and then blackness. Scott then saw Liam tied up and eavesdropping on Allison and Aiden, then the conversation between Liam and Alexander, up until his eyes turned Amethyst.

Then Liam's memory seemed to change. To Scott it was like watching a movie where the camera is facing the sun or a similar light source blocking out the images to where you can recognize outlines and such. But it was as if the sound was muted or extremely muffled like trying to listen to someone talk with ear plugs in your own ears. You could hear the talking but you can't make any of it out.

Liam's memory shifted again and everything seemed to focus again and Scott saw the conversation happening. Scott smiled at Liam telling Alexander that he was going to make eat him eat his balls. But Scott's smile disappeared when he heard Alexander say that he was going to make Liam his new pawn. Scott watched as Alexander's eyes turned Amethyst again and Liam's memory returned to the blinding white and muffled voices as they were muffled again, but only for a moment. Liam's memory once again returned to "focus" only to see Aiden, again taking a swing and connecting to Liam's face.

Scott gasped as his claws retracted from Liam's neck and he took a step back into Deaton, who guided him to a stool. Liam turned around to look at Scott, and gave him a reassuring smile before his stepdad was cleaning up his neck. Deaton cleared his throat. "What did you find out?"

Scott shook his head. "Well Alexander told Liam that he was called a Siren. Like the ones from the old Greek myths. That he was also a spirit like the Nogitsune we fought, but he needed a banshee to survive and he can't be separated from one."

"What do you mean a Siren?" Stiles asked. "You mean like the creature that would lure sailors to their deaths?"

Scott nodded and looked at Deaton. "Have you ever encountered a Siren before or heard of one?"

Deaton held a thinking face for a moment. "In all of my travels I have not come across anything other than that of the Greek myths and those told in movies and such."

"What would it want with Lydia to be able to survive then?" Jackson asked.

"You said that he needed a Banshee to survive and that it is a spirit as well?" Deaton asked. At Scott's nod he continued. "I have a theory; I think that the Siren spirit moves from Banshee to Banshee in some way to maintain a symbiotic relationship with its new host body."

Stiles frowned and said sarcastically. "Don't you mean parasitic?"

If Deaton was annoyed by the comment he didn't acknowledge it. "That does give us an advantage. Because when the Nogitsune separated itself from Stiles it played a big gamble in exposing itself, which allowed us to capture the fly. But with this Siren not being able to separate itself, it means we don't have to worry about any unwanted surprises."

Everyone turned to look at Liam when he cleared his throat. "We do have a problem. Because when his eyes turn that purple color, you seem to fog up and you can't remember anything."

"That's right, when we encountered them the other night he tried to do that bird song thing that he did, and I remember getting all sleepy and such, until Lydia spoke." Hayden said.

Everyone was quiet for a moment before Deaton spoke. "That must be where his power lies then. He tries to avoid a physical conflict at possible and uses his Siren's Song to entrance people to get them to do what he wants. Apparently it sounds like Lydia might be immune to his power to, which might mean she is the key to beating him. But I can't make that a definitive answer."

"Okay that's all fine and speculation. What about when he doesn't have his eyes glowing? Are people still under his control?" Isaac said as he leaned against the wall with arms folded across his chest. "What's to say that Liam isn't under his control now?"

Scott didn't realize that he was lightly growling until Lydia put a hand on his back. Deaton cleared his throat. "Isaac does have a point Scott. So there is that possibility, and since we have never encountered a Siren before we don't know what to expect."

The sound of a phone ringing brought everyone out of their thoughts. Deaton went over and picked up the phone. "Beacon Hills Animal Shelter, how can I help you?"

There was a pause in the conversation before Deaton spoke again. "Yeah they're all here; I will come over with all of them."

Deaton then hung up the phone and looked at the assembled group. "Mr. Argent wishes to see us all at the cemetery."

Liam looked at his stepdad. "You can go ahead and go home. I will ride with Scott and Stiles."

Dr. Geyer nodded. "Alright, I want you home by seven for dinner then. If something changes please call me."

Liam nodded and with that the group exited the Animal Shelter and headed to Beacon Hills Cemetery. Once they arrived they drove on the main roads through the graveyard to where Chris Argent was standing by his vehicle. Scott had seen him pissed off on many occasions, but this time it seemed to be a different kind of anger. Climbing out of Stiles' jeep with Stiles, Liam and Hayden, Scott was hit instantly with the smell of freshly dug dirt.

As Scott rounded the vehicle when Argent gestured to follow him, he found two graves dug up. And when Scott looked at Argent he was shaking with anger. "Scott, have you found where this creature is hiding?"

Scott shook his head. "No Liam's memory didn't give me that information."

Argent swore. "When you find this bastard, I want a crack at him."

Scott nodded but was puzzled, but at Lydia's gasp he looked at her and then followed her gaze to the headstone. The headstone that Scott was marking the grave in front of him read: Allison Argent. Scott glanced at the grave next to it to see that the headstone read: Aiden Collins.

Scott was brought back to Argent when he jumped into Allison's grave and opened her coffin to reveal that her body was nowhere in it. Chris looked up at Scott from where he was in the grave. "When you find him, I want to blow his head off. I will make him pay for grave robbing my baby girl."

"Scott, you should take a look at this." Scott moved to see Ethan standing in his brother's grave, also with the coffin open, and like Allison's it was empty. When Ethan looked up at Scott, he could see the angry tears falling from his eyes. "Aiden isn't here either."

"So Alexander was telling the truth." Hayden spoke as she wrapped an arm around Lydia, who was now crying. "He did resurrect them, and they're Sirens like him."

Scott felt a hand on his shoulder and looked to see Liam standing there trying to be supportive. But all Scott could feel in that moment was anger. Anger like he hadn't felt before. Scott shifted, and then he let out a howl. This howl was something that had never been heard before and it caused Liam, Hayden, Ethan, Derek, Isaac, and Jackson to all shift and join in the howl. The howl was something that full of warning and anger.

Alexander was sitting on a bench outside the building they were using as their base of operations when he heard the howl. As he listened to it he smiled. The door to his left opened and Allison and Aiden came out. Aiden was the one to speak. "What's that all about?"

Alexander stood up and turned to his Betas, still smiling. "Scott's learned a bit of truth."

Aiden frowned. "It sounds more like he's pissed."

Alexander's smile only grew. "I think he's found the truth about the two of you if I had to guess. So this means he's going to be out looking for a fight and then we can get Lydia and you two can kill Scott and Ethan."

Alexander then started to laugh, and as he laughed Allison and Aiden then slowly started to join him.
