01; Creatures of the Night
"Why did they tie us to different trees?" Liam huffed from opposite me.
"It's Scott and Stiles, are you really asking that question?" I blew a piece of hair from my face, trying to move in the uncomfortable chains.
I still haven't got this whole werewolf thing completely under control and neither has Liam.
None of us have figured out what I am yet. I've had no other abilities or differences aside from my green eyes.
I'm just a werewolf.
With green eyes.
"Think it's been long enough?" Stiles asked my brother.
"Yes!" Liam and I yelled.
The boys sighed and turned around to face us.
"Hey! Trying to have an adult conversation here!" Stiles shouted over.
"Alright you're two years older than us. And we're fine. Let us go" Liam said.
My brother came over, holding the keys out in his hand.
"It's not that we don't trust you" he said, starting to unlock Liam's chains.
"I don't trust you" Stiles cut in.
"But that last full moon" Scott shook his head.
"It was one slip up" Liam defended.
"Slip up? A dozen calls to the sheriff's department about a monstrous dog boy running around in the streets of beacon hills naked, that's a slip up?" Stiles raised his eyebrows.
"Why were you naked?" Scott frowned.
Liam shrugged. "It was really hot outside, okay. Let me go"
"You sure you're okay?" My brother asked him.
"It won't happen again"
"You're in complete and total control?"
Liam nodded. "Yeah complete and total"
My brother dropped the chains in the bag and then turned to me.
"Hey big bro" I smiled innocently.
"Becca-"
"Are you seriously gonna leave me tied up to the tree? Your own sister"
Scott and Stiles shared a look.
"So you'll let the boy who ran around naked last full moon free but not me?" I questioned.
Scott looked at Stiles again. "She has a point"
Stiles stared at my brother with a baffled look on his face. "We still don't know what she is. And like every single full moon since she turned, she's tried to kill me"
I rolled my eyes. "Guys we've been through this. I'm not a werejaguar, I'm not a werecat I'm not anything but a werewolf"
"With green eyes" Liam added.
"Who's side are you on?" I hissed. Then I turned to Stiles. "And anyway, I never actually ended up killing you. But I can guarantee you that if you don't let me go, this time I will"
Stiles glanced at me and then back at Scott. "Okay give me the keys"
I smiled in satisfaction as the chains were released and put in the bag.
The boys took it back to the jeep and I went to follow but saw that Liam had stopped and was staring at his hands.
"Hey, let's-" I paused at the sight of the blood that was coating his hands. "Liam-"
"I know, I know. But please don't tell them okay. I can control this, I promise"
"Liam I don't know-"
"Bex please" he stared at me with those gorgeous damn blue eyes.
"Fine. But I'm not responsible for your actions tonight, okay"

"So is it a party?" I asked as Stiles drove down the empty road.
"It is not a party" Stiles answered.
"Then what's at midnight?" Liam leant forwards.
"Your bedtime" Stiles retorted.
I rolled my eyes.
"Why aren't the girls going?" Liam questioned.
"They're meeting us there, okay. And just stop asking questions, alright. It's a senior thing" Stiles replied.
"Is that gonna be your reply for everything now? It's a 'senior thing'? Because if it is I think I might have to punch you in the face" I said.
"You'll know when you're a senior" he mumbled.
"You guys having trouble with your phones?" Scott suddenly asked.
The jeep suddenly started to stop and Stiles let out a groan.
"What the hell" Scott said.
"You out of gas?" I asked.
"No it's electrical" Stiles replied, opening the door.
He and Scott climbed out and opened up the front.
I sighed and rested my head against the back of the chair.
A sudden bolt of lightning attracted my attention, and Liam's.
"Guys" Liam shouted.
Another bolt of lightning struck, much closer to us.
"GUYS!" Liam and I yelled out.
"Give us a second please" Stiles said.
"Both of you stay in the car, okay"
"If you guys die it's not our fault!" I yelled.
I heard Scott say "What?" before lightning struck again, just meters away from them.
"That was close" Scott murmured.
Stiles nodded. "Very close"
Liam reached forwards and turned the ignition on, starting up the jeep.
Both of us leant our heads out of the window.
"Can we go now?" I asked.
~
We pulled up and I watched as Malia ran over, pulling Stiles into a kiss.
"Sorry we're late" he said.
Liam leant forwards with a grin on his face. "I'm sorry too"
He sat back and I whacked him on the chest.
"Ow"
"You boys do remember I own a gun right?" Mr Tate said.
"Vividly" Stiles answered.
I shifted up as Malia climbed in the back.
We all turned to look at her.
"What?"
"You find out yet?" Stiles asked.
"Find out what?" Liam said curiously.
"They're gonna email me" Malia replied.
"Is it about summer school?"
Malia glanced at Stiles. "You told them?"
"I-" he started.
"Oh no, all they said was that you had to go to summer school because the principal said your test results weren't good enough and you might have to repeat junior year" I shrugged.
Malia sat back in annoyance as Stiles glared at me.
I winked, shooting him a grin.
Stiles sighed. "Should have left them tied to the tree"
~
"My dads not out of surgery. He's not gonna be done for hours" Liam said as we headed through the hospital. "So I can either hang out here or I could still go with you guys"
Scott pressed the button on the lift and turned to us.
"Show me your hands"
Liam glanced at me. "You told him?"
"I'm sorry. I was just looking out for you"
He sighed and looked around before pulling his hands out of his pocket. His nails were coated in dried blood.
"Okay, so I'm still having trouble"
"No. You're still learning" Scott corrected. "What do you do to stay focused when you're not changing?"
Liam looked at me and I turned to my brother.
"Me"
Scott frowned.
"Wait. No I didn't mean he does me like, you know, I meant- okay oh my god I hate myself"
"She's my anchor" Liam confirmed. "But it's not working completely"
"It's working enough" Scott said.
"Hey, we always get through it. Together" I smiled at my boyfriend. "Well apart from last time. I played no part in that"
"Listen, Derek told me that you're one of the strongest that he'd ever seen at your age" My brother said. "And coming from him that means a lot"
"It really does" I added.
"Maybe it means things are gonna be harder for you for a while" Scott stepped into the lift. "But it also means something else doesn't it"
Liam shrugged. "I'm really strong?"
Scott nodded. "Hell yeah"
My brother exchanged a smile with the two of us before the elevator doors shut.
~
"I'm sorry. I was just worried about you" I sighed as Liam and I headed down the busy corridor.
"I'm not the one you should be worried about" Liam said, his tone hostile.
I frowned. "Why do I get the feeling that none of you guys trust me?"
"I trust you, Bec" he said. "I trust you with my life, okay. I love you. I'm just concerned"
"Liam, it's been six months since I've turned. I'm no different to you aside from my eye colour"
"It took Lydia a long time to realise her true abilities" he reminded.
"So you guys have been discussing my situation then" I said, walking ahead of him. "Fabulous"
"You're worried about me. We're worried about you. Okay, it's like an endless circle of worry" he said, trying to catch up with me.
I stopped walking and turned to face him. "Maybe we should focus on the positives then. For six months, everything has been okay. More than okay. It's been amazing. We've been amazing"
"I know. I just have this feeling, you know. That something's about to change"
I looked down the hall, upon hearing my mother's voice.
I pushed Liam round the corner and up against the wall.
"What?" He asked. "What's wrong?"
I motioned for him to be quiet and squeezed my eyes shut, focusing on the voices.
It was mom and the Sheriff and they were talking about Parrish, who appeared to be injured.
"I think you're right"
"I am?"
"Mom and Stilinski have just taken Parrish into the room. He's been hurt. Sounds really, um, horrific actually"
"You see, this is what I mean. I knew the last six months were too good to be true" Liam said as I headed towards the door.
"I know, I know"
"What Scott was saying earlier, about things either getting really good again or really bad. It's happening isn't it? It's getting really bad" he rambled.
"I don't know Liam" I said, trying to listen to mom's conversation.
"We're all going to die"
"Liam shut up we're not going to die"
"But-"
"Shh" I whispered, pressing my ear closer to the door.
"It felt as if the life was being drawn out of me through the claws" I heard Parrish say.
"And now he's looking for Scott?" Mom asked.
"Which got me thinking about what this guy can do. The rule is you have to kill an alpha to steal it's power, right?" Deputy Parrish said.
"No it's different for Scott" mom said.
"You can't steal a true alpha's power" Sheriff Stilinski added.
"I think this guy can"
~
Liam was ahead of me as we ran towards Stiles and Malia.
However, Malia unexpectedly whipped around and slammed Liam to the floor.
I skidded to a halt.
"Oh my god" Stiles said with wide eyes.
"Oh my god" I repeated.
Liam breathed out in shock. "Scott's in trouble"
Malia frowned. "What kind of trouble?"
"Parrish came into the hospital. He said something about a werewolf looking for Scott. He thinks it can steal Scott's power as an alpha" I explained quickly.
"But you can't steal the power from a true alpha" Stiles pointed out.
"Parrish thinks this guy can" Liam said.
Everyone fell silent.
"Oh, and this werewolf apparently has glowing claws" I added.
"Glowing claws?" Stiles asked in disbelief.
"Look, it doesn't matter. We've got to find Scott" Liam said.
Malia looked over into the distance. "This way"
I stepped out from underneath the shelter and into the pouring rain again.
The four of us ran, following Malia's lead.
Using my new hearing, I listened out for any sounds.
It sounded like there was a fight going on.
This pushed me to run even faster and I reached the steps before the others.
I stopped when I saw what was happening, causing Stiles to crash into me.
I heard Scott's yell of pain and I immediately went into protective mode, my claws and my fangs coming out.
Scott suddenly started to push the werewolf off and then he twisted his arm. I heard the bone crunch and then the sound of claws clattering on the ground.
"I don't know who you are or what you thought you were going to do but I'll give you a choice" Scott said. You can stay and I'll break something else. Or you can run"
The werewolf looked back at us and Stiles stepped forwards.
"I'd run"
With a grunt of pain, the werewolf got up and fled from the scene.
Scott turned to us and we all walked over to each other.
I glanced over at the boy I didn't recognise, who was stood with a grin plastered on his face.
"You don't remember me, do you?" He asked. "I guess I look a little different since the fourth grade"
"Theo?" Scott questioned.
He nodded and smiled.
"You know him?" Malia asked.
"They used to. Trust me I never thought I'd see you guys again. Couple months ago I heard about an alpha of Beacon Hills. When I found out his name was Scott McCall-" he shrugged. "I just couldn't believe it. Not just an alpha but a true alpha"
"What do you want?" My brother asked.
"To come back to Beacon Hills. Back home with my family. Because I wanna be a part of your pack"
~
"You still annoyed at me for telling Scott?" I asked as Liam walked me back to my house.
"No I'm good"
"That's good" I said. "Speaking of telling people things, when do you think we should finally tell Mason?"
Liam sighed, running a hand through is hair.
"I don't know. What if he reacts badly and hates us?"
"He won't hate us"
The two of us walked in silence, I presumed both of us were thinking about how to break the news to Mason.
"Speaking of hate, what's up with you and this Theo kid"
I rolled my eyes. "I don't know I just sense something evil about him"
"You don't like him?"
"I don't trust him. I don't think Stiles does either. But Scott? He trusts everyone. And that always has consequences"
"What so you think that if Scott lets Theo into his pack that things will get really bad for all of us?"
I let out a long sigh and nodded.
"I think it will be the thing to tip the scale"
