*flashback*
"Come on Liam, faster!"
"I'm going as fast as I can Bex!"
"You're not going fast enough!" I yelled out to him.
"I can't do it!"
"You're almost there!" I encouraged.
He paused, sweat dripping from him as he threw his head back, trying to catch his breath.
"Nope. That's it I'm done" he flopped down onto the grass, grabbing a bottle of water.
"Dude you had one more lap" I rolled my eyes, sitting next to him.
"Every day, Bex. Every day we've been doing this"
"I know but you're still not under control and this works as a distraction. Plus you love lacrosse. And since coach isn't here-" he cut me off.
"-You thought you'd take up that spot and put me through hell"
"Precisely" I smiled innocently at my boyfriend. "Anyway, that was just a warm up. On your feet, Dunbar"
He shook his head. "No way"
"Oh come on, do I need to remind you that you're supernatural. You can endure way more than just a couple laps of the field"
"You sure about that?"
"Okay, well there's got to be something we can do to distract your from the full moon" I said.
He grinned.
"Oh no. There's no way I'm doing that again"
"But-"
"Can't you and Mason do it instead"
"But you're more fun" he winked.
"No. I'm not playing video games with you all night again. I need my beauty sleep"
He huffed and leaned back on his hands.
"Well, I can think of another fun activity we could do" he smirked.
"Jenga?" I said enthusiastically.
He stared at me for a moment. "Seriously?"
I laughed. "Okay, but no kisses until you shower first"
"I don't smell that bad"
I raised my eyebrows at him. "Babe" I giggled. "Go shower"

"I don't know dude. Everyone at Devonford's pretty abnormal to me" Brett said.
"Alright what else is there to look for? There's heightened strength, smell, hearing, speed" Mason listed each one on his fingers.
"Uh able to see in the dark" I interjected.
Mason nodded. "Glowing eyes"
"Eyes that reflect light" Brett added.
"Visible scorpion stingers protruding out of limbs" Mase said.
"Yeah or a three foot lizard tails" I rolled my eyes.
Mason laughed.
Liam made eye contact with me from the field and I smiled, watching him prepare to shoot.
He missed.
"So how come you're not practicing?" Brett leaned over Mason to ask me as I frowned, watching Liam and Hayden staring at each other.
I shrugged. "Too much going on to even think about playing lacrosse"
"Shame. You should be out their kicking ass"
"Mm" I said, as our attention all turned back to my boyfriend.
He scored and instead of looking over at me with a grin of achievement that he usually has, he was staring at Hayden again.
She glared and kicked her soccer ball, scoring it in the goal.
I could hear Liam's heartbeat increasing.
"Oh no" I mumbled.
He scored another goal and so did Hayden.
I heard him yell as he swung the ball from his net, which hit the goalie.
I winced as the person in goal fell to the ground.
"Sorry!"
Mason and I shared a look.
"What's up with those two?" Brett frowned.
"Sixth grade" Mason and I answered simultaneously.
"And not the best year for Liam's anger management issues" Mason added. "There was this fight in the hallways - Liam and this other guy" Mase pulled out his phone. "Hayden sort of accidentally walked into it"
I choked back a laugh, remembering the pictures.
"And this is her yearbook photo" Mason held out his phone.
"Ah damn" Brett mumbled. "Ouch. What did she do to him?"
Mason scrolled across, showing Liam's photo.
Brett burst out laughing.
"Does anyone here have asthma?" Somebody yelled, running onto the field. "Anyone got an inhaler?"
I looked down at my bag, remembering that I have one of Scott's old spares, just in case.
Liam glanced up at me and I suddenly had this horrible feeling.
"Scott" I heard Liam breathe out in realisation.
"Oh shit" I mumbled before grabbing my bag.
"What where are you going?" Mason frowned.
"Scott's in trouble"
I pushed past people and headed down the stands where I met Liam who was running.
We sprinted inside, following the sounds of the crowd which must have been gathered around my brother.
"I've got it! I've got the inhaler" Liam yelled as we pushed past people.
I bent down next to my brother, placing the inhaler in his hand.
"Scott" I said, noticing he was unresponsive. "Scott!"
My brother continued to wheeze.
"Scott come on" Liam shook my brother.
I flashed my eyes. "Scott"
He gasped and grabbed the inhaler, shaking it and putting it in his mouth.
After using it, he set it down on the floor again and looked over at Liam and I.
"Thanks"
I sighed in relief, pulling my brother into a hug.
"What the hell happened there, Scott?" I whispered.
"I don't know"
~
"You okay?" Liam asked as we walked hand in hand.
"Fine"
"Liar"
"Considering the fact I just witnessed my brother have yet another asthma attack, which he shouldn't even be having because he's a werewolf, then no I'm not okay" I retorted as we headed past Hayden, who's face just made me even more pissed off than I already was.
"Why are you mad at me?"
"I'm not mad at you okay I'm just-"
"Do I have to remind you one bottle costs $200"
Liam paused, as did I.
"Sorry" I heard Hayden mumble, putting the pills in her bag.
"What?" She snapped, noticing our stares.
"Nothing" My boyfriend muttered awkwardly.
"Is that Liam Dunbar?" I heard Hayden's sister say. "He got cute"
I looked over at my boyfriend who was biting his lip to cover up the smile.
"What?" He asked, noticing my glare.
"Whatever" I let go of his hand.
"Woah, whoah, woah. What's up?"
"Nothing"
"Bex"
"It doesn't matter, okay. Just drop it"
"It matters"
"Liam!" I practically yelled in frustration, which caught other people's attention. I sighed. "Nevermind. I'll see you later"

"What's this? Why are your eyes leaking. Are you crying?" Malia asked, causing me to smile a little.
"I'm fine"
"You don't look fine. And you reek of-"
"Malia" I cut her off. "I'm fine"
"Why are you sad? And angry? And jealous?"
"It's just- nevermind"
"Come sit down. You can talk to me" Malia and I sat down in the empty corridor. "Is this about Liam?"
"Yeah. Liam, Hayden, Scott. Everyone. Everything"
"What's Liam done? Want me to torture him"
"No. Malia do not torture him" I giggled.
"What do you want me to do"
"Is it okay if we just sit here for a while"
"Okay?"
Malia looked confused but didn't question further.
The two of us sat in comfortable silence as the thoughts about today swirled in my mind.
I was a mess.
I've been freaking out about the visions, the fact that Liam and Hayden have some kind of thing happening between them, the Dread Doctors. And the thing worrying me the most is that I actually thought for a good couple of seconds today that Brett looked hot in his school uniform. That's passed now, however the point still stands that my emotions are a complete and utter mess.
Malia's phone buzzed, snapping me away from my thoughts.
"That's Scott. We should go"
I nodded and stood up, the two of us heading down the steps to meet my brother and Theo.
"Where's Kira?" Scott asked as we descended the stairs.
"Still at the library. Stiles and Lydia are at the hospital" Malia informed.
"Doing what?"
"Lydia's trying to figure out what happened during her surgery"
"How long are they gonna be there?"
"They said they're just waiting for the power to come back on" Malia shrugged.
The two boys glanced at each other with a sigh.
I frowned. "What's up?"
~
"Fuck" I groaned, trying to sit up.
My vision was slightly blurred but I could make out one of the doctors holding Scott by his throat.
I growled and charged at them. The dread doctor threw Scott to the floor as I ran up and kicked it, making it stumble backwards.
I swiped my claws against it, eventually hitting its head which threw it off balance.
I jumped and grabbed it's neck, attempting to twist it, when I was thrown to the floor.
Before I could even move, the doctor was holding me up in the air by my throat.
I opened my mouth, gasping for breath.
As my vision started to go hazy again, I heard the elevator doors ding open.
I heard another growl and I was thrown to the floor beside my brother, who was wheezing again.
"Mother fucking-" I mumbled, trying to pull myself up. "Scott?" I asked. "Scott hey" I shook him again.
Another asthma attack.
And his inhaler was crushed.
"Come on, come on" I looked up in relief to see my mom. The two of us helped Scott, bringing him back to the elevator.
He collapsed to the floor inside the elevator, still gasping for breath.
Mom held out an injection.
"Wait! What is that?" Scott asked.
"A bronchodilator. It will work" mom said before jabbing it into my brother's leg.
He yelled out in pain, squeezing my hand.
"Malia come on!" Mom shouted. "Run!" She screamed.
I looked out to see Malia still fighting.
"I'll be back in a second" I let go of Scott's hand and ran over to help.
"Bex!" Mom yelled after me but I ignored her.
The doctor's hand was around Malia's throat, choking her.
"Hey asshole!" I yelled, swinging my leg up to connect with it's head.
Malia was dropped to the floor and I grabbed the dread doctor's hand in order to stop it from making anymore contact.
"Malia go!" I shouted. She hesitated. "Go! I'll hold him off"
She ran to the lift as I tried to hit the doctor, who smacked me in the face.
I groaned in pain as I was pushed away.
"Mom start closing the doors!" I instructed as I backed away from the doctor. "Mom now!"
I heard her smack her hand on the button and I sprinted.
The elevator was further away than I anticipated and the doors were closing incredibly fast.
"REBECCA RUN" I heard mom call back to me.
"BECCA" Malia's voice rang in my ears.
"RUN!" The two of them screamed.
The doors were almost about to close as I dived and slipped through them.
The doors shut and I lay on the floor, trying to get my breath back.
"That was way too close" Mom said, leaning against the wall as the elevator shook.
Scott looked over at Malia and I.
"We never should have read that book"

A/N
Once again teen wolf didn't give me many options to work with considering pretty much all of Liam's scenes were with Hayden 😂
But can we just talk about how hot Dylan Sprayberry is because my feels are through the roof after that episode 🐍
I've got some big plans for Bec and Liam though.
A couple of you have commented theories about Bex's power and one of you may or may not have guessed it right but you'll just have to wait and see 😏
Thanks for 18k!
