FINN SOON WAKES UP WITH A wicked headache, wondering where the hell he was, in someone's bathtub? He looked across from him to see Liam, the other teen looked relieved that his friend was okay.

He and Liam were bound by mouth hands, and feet, with duct tape. He tried to remember what happened before he got here. A kid named Sean killed a cop at the hospital.

He threw him and Liam off the roof, now it was coming back to him, after Liam got injured he was knocked out. By Scott, whose eyes were glowing red.

Stiles arrived at Scott's house to help deal with the Liam situation. Scott told Liam wad upstairs 'lying down'.

By which he meant 'bound and gagged in my bathtub'. Except he forgot to mention Liam wasn't the only person he kidnapped.

Stiles took one look at Liam and Finn before closing the shower curtain on them again, leaving both Liam and Finn to make unclear mouth sounds at the boys.

Scott and Stiles sat on the bed and recap the incidents that led to this predicament: Scott bit Liam, kidnapped him and Finn, and brought them to his house.

"As a reminder, this is why I always come up with the plans. Your plans suck." Stiles told his best friend. Scott's aware of that.

Stiles's plan was to set Liam and Finn in chairs to explain everything. Stiles took the tape off Liam and Finn's mouths, warning them that it'll go right back on if they screamed.

Scott stood to the side, Finn was bewildered at the fact that he was kidnapped by the guys who helped him find the library.

His fate in trust chucked out the window, and he hoped he'd get a chance to cause a little bodily harm.

"Okay, Liam, Finn. Now, you've seen a lot of confusing things tonight and more confusing things are going to happen because of the confusing things that happened tonight. Do you understand?"

The room is silent, since no one beside Stiles understood what the hell he just said. So Scott took the better choice and explained to the two younger kids what happened.

"Liam, what happened to you... what I did to you, which I had to do in order to save you.. it's going to change you." Scott said in a soft tone.

"Unless it kills you. Shouldn't have said that." Stiles mumbled.

Finn was royally pissed, "So your solution was to kidnap us?!"

Stiles turned to him, "Do you want the tape back on?"

"Do you want to get kicked where the sun doesn't shine? Cause you two are psychopaths!" Finn exclaimed.

Scott was understanding. "Finn, we didn't mean for this to happen."

Finn scoffed. "Right, that's exactly what serial killers say before they murder their victims and dump their bodies."

"I mean, I am the son of the local sheriff." Stiles muttered.

"I don't give a shit if you were the son of the goddamn president. You kidnapped us Stiles!"

Liam started to cry, Finn looked towards his friend, and he turned back to Stiles. Glaring daggers at him, while Scott was reassuring him.

It'd be okay. He's not going to die. Stiles, in response, says it was a possibility. But nothing worked. They sighed, knowing they screwed up, so they untied Liam.

He pretended to look miserable and helpless for about 10 seconds before he got out of the chair and hit Scott with it.

Liam then punched Stiles in the face and quickly helped Finn get untied, and both bolt out of Scott's bedroom.

Pausing to marvel at the fact that Liam's broken ankle has miraculously healed. Scott and Stiles scramble out of the bedroom and tackle the two down the stairs.

But they managed to escape through the front door, proving to Stiles that he can also have some pretty sucky plans. They ran down the street, making sure Scott and Stiles weren't chasing them.

Stopping to take a breath, Finn starts to laugh, "Holy shit! That was awesome! Someone better give you an Emmy for that performance!" He exclaimed.

Liam laughs as well, "The way you threatened Stiles was hilarious."

"Man, my brother is going to kill me for being out this late." Finn admitted.

"You could stay at my place if you want? Or I could have my stepdad drop you off at your house?" Liam suggested.

"It is pretty late. Let's just head to yours, I'll explain to Eddie what happened." Liam nodded his head and the two began making their way to Liam's house.

Miraculously getting in without making a peep. And immediately crashing in Liam's room. The next day Finn and Liam wake up, realizing the events of the previous night and scramble to get ready.

Finn had to run to his house and Liam went with him. Finn gathered all of his books and changed his clothes into a new outfit.

Then got out of the house and the two ran. Once they got to the school they ran, well Finn was following Liam. Until Liam stopped in front of another boy.

Liam decided to run three miles to school today instead of catching the bus. Mason congratulates Liam on his healed ankle but notices the new bandage on Liam's arm.

Liam starts breathing heavily. He realizes Finn is with him and quickly introduces him to his best friend. If Liam paid attention he'd know that Finn was going to pretend the previous night didn't happen.

But as he does so he looks up to see Scott standing near the school sign and staring at him. Liam fibs off to both Finn and Mason, saying that he needs to get to class and goes inside the building.

Finn smiled awkwardly at Mason, changing the subject, they conversed for a moment and then went to class themselves. Meanwhile Scott and Stiles corner Liam in a hallway, saying they need to talk.

Liam hesitated, but gave Scott one chance to explain. Scott tried to take a leaf out of Derek's 'welcome to the werewolf club' speech and told Liam that they're brothers now.

"What are you talking about? We just met and you bit me." Liam said.

Scott got offended, "The bite.. the bite is a gift."

Stiles takes over, explaining that they're trying to help Liam. Liam doesn't think kidnapping is very helpful. "Just to clarify, Scott kidnapped you and Finn, okay? I aided and abetted."

Liam rips the bandage off his arm to show that Scott's bite has already disappeared. He maintained that nothing's happening to him.
——————————————————

The McCall pack meet out by the school buses to talk about Liam. Malia doesn't want to share her basement with someone else. Technically it's Lydia's basement.

Malia is the one who scratched it all up. Scott says they'll put Liam in the boathouse and chain him to the support beams.

They still have to get Liam to the lake house and he doesn't trust any of them. Stiles and Malia want to chloroform the little jerk and throw him in the lake.

Scott is vehemently opposed to that plan. Lydia says they should just be smart and invite Liam to a party at the lake house. "So you're going to ask out a freshman?" Stiles asked.

"No, I'm done with teenage boys." She replied, Lydia thinks if they're going to play a trick on someone, they should use the trickster.

She meant Kira... a kitsune is supposed to be a trickster and they do call female foxes vixens. Kira sighed, and enacted the plan.

In the hallway, Liam became distracted by Kira walking down the stairs with her eyes on him.

The act is counteracted by Kira tripping over her own feet and falling on her face. Liam rushed over to help her and, with a quick recovery, she invited him to a party.
——————————————————

Finn had finished a few of his classes, instead of going to the library, he remembered about the photography club.

So he asked a teacher where it was and made his way there. Once he got there the room was filled with a group of teens, he felt out of place, well, no shit. I'm the new kid.

A girl around his age with raven hair and hazel eyes saw him, she smiled brightly at him and welcomed him in.

He walked over to her and she held her hand out, "Hey, I'm Claire! Welcome to the photography club."

"Hi, I'm Finn. I noticed you were looking for photographers and I wanted to see if I could join."

Claire nodded her head, "Alright, do you have a portfolio? I can take a look at it right now."

"Yeah, except I don't have it with me. But I can bring it tomorrow." That was a lie, but it meant he'd spend all night making one.

"Great! And I'll give you a tour, have you meet everybody. You'll also be doing a test run, to see how you operate your camera."

Finn smiled, "Okay, cool."

Claire walked him out and waved him goodbye. "See you tomorrow Finn!"

Finn left the room, kind of pumped that he'd be able to focus on one of his passions. It'd been years since he picked up a camera.
——————————————————

Later that night, Kira drove Liam to the lake house. He's still adapting to werewolf super-hearing and the music on the radio is almost deafening for him.

Kira seemed unaware of Liam's problems as she tells him that the lake house belongs to Lydia's grandmother.

"But she's dead, so it's okay. I mean, it's not okay that she's dead. Unless she was in pain." Liam asks to turn the music down.

His hearing suddenly clears and Liam realized that the music has been quiet this whole time. Mishearing him, Kira reaches over and turns the music up louder.

Liam gets a text from Mason, asking where he was. "Who did you say was coming to this party?"

"Um, everyone." She answered, Scott arrived at the lake house on his motorbike. Stiles, Lydia, and Malia were already there, having driven up in the Jeep.

Stiles had some bad news: he asked around to find out why Liam was kicked out of his last school.

Liam has some serious anger issues. He got into it with one of his teachers and smashed the crap out of the teacher's car with a crowbar.

Stiles showed Scott a picture. Written on the side of the car was: 'This is your fault'. The moon has risen. In the passenger seat of Kira's car, Liam had a quiet rage attack.

When they get to the lake house, Liam saw that the house is dark and only Scott's bike and Stiles's Jeep are parked in the driveway. Kira told him it's a small party.

He was confused... he thought everyone was coming. Kira ushered him into the house, saying that they're early.

Liam saw the duffel bag with chains laid out on the coffee table. Kira shut the door behind Liam, apologizing.

While Scott, Lydia, Malia, and Stiles stand in the living room, ready for an intervention. Liam has a problem and they're the only ones that can help.

Liam has been filled in on everyone's different supernatural secret identities. He wants to know what Stiles is. "For a little while, I was possessed by an evil spirit. It was very evil."

"What are you now?"

"Better?" Liam looks at the chains again.

Malia told him they were for her. Her eyes flashed blue, but Liam decided he was done with this shit. He was pretty sure he was surrounded by a bunch of 'psychotic nut jobs'.

He started yelling at everyone, but was interrupted by a sudden attack of super-hearing. He heard dozens of cars pulling up at the lake house.

He texted Mason with the location and Mason told everyone about the 'party'. Liam's claws come out and scrape against the wooden floors.

Lydia, remembering that this comes out of her credit card, told Scott to get him off the floors. Scott and Kira grab Liam and start dragging him down to the boathouse.

Malia was losing it too. Stiles grabbed the bag of chains and started hustling her down to the basement.

Lydia asked in a panic, "What am I supposed to do with the hordes gathering outside the door?"

"Lydia, who throws the best parties in Beacon Hills?" Stiles questioned rhetorically.

"What? Me, obviously." Lydia answered matter o'factly.

Stiles signaled to the door, "Okay. Then throw a party."

Lydia opens the door to the masses. Mason, Finn (who Liam also texted), Garrett, and Violet are at the front. They ask if they're at the right place.

Lydia replied, "Absolutely." And let the hoards of teens walk inside. Scott and Kira dragged Liam to the boathouse trying to chain an uncooperative Liam.

When he tried to kill Scott, Kira knocked Liam out cold with an oar. While in the basement, Malia's face started to shift, going all werecoyote as Stiles tightened the cuffs.

She told Stiles he needed to leave but he wasn't going anywhere. He thought he'd probably be safer down in the basement than upstairs with a bunch of partying freshmen and a pissed off Lydia.

Music started up in the lake house and Lydia found a dude delivering a keg of beer in the kitchen.

She sighed, her mother was going to kill her, resurrect her, then kill her again, "I didn't order a keg of beer. Especially not domestic."

"Somebody ordered it. Are you trying to tell me no one here wants to drink?" Lydia looked around and saw that someone had put a glass of wine on her two thousand dollar laptop.

The culprit being Garrett as he was the only one by the laptop, he was also sniffing at a bottle of wine.

Lydia grabbed the bottle off him. Telling him that it was four hundred dollars. The man handed her a receipt.

It had a hundred dollar surcharge on there for "Yes, you do look twenty one to me".

Lydia left to grab some cash and saw Mason walking upstairs to the second floor. But Garrett stepped in and said that, since he opened the wine, he'll pay for the keg.

He hands the man some money and Lydia gave a sort of thankful nod to him. And he left, a few minutes later, she once again saw Mason looking toward the stairs.

But this time he's going up, and follows him into a room and tells him that the party is downstairs. "I was looking for Liam." He told her.

She waved Mason off in annoyance, "Sorry, but missing freshmen are a little low on my priority list."

"But not so low that you don't know he's a freshman?" Mason retorted back.

Lydia sees two nearly empty glasses of wine on the desk and grabs them. Lydia pulls Mason towards the door, saying she might have seen Liam downstairs.

She loses her grip on the glasses and they fall, spilling red wine all over the white carpet. Lydia scrubs at the carpet frantically, starting to cry.

She tells Mason that the carpet isn't valuable, nothing in this house is. They put it on the market and it needs to be perfect so they can get as much money as possible from the sale.

Mason assured her that everything would be okay. He rushes downstairs to grab some club soda and salt to help clean the wine from the carpet.

As Mason left, the door swung shut behind him, completely blocking out the noise of the party. Lydia opens and closes the door experimentally.

The sound was definitely being blocked out, so the room must be soundproof. She turned to see an old record player, walking toward it, before proceeding to put the needle down.

There was no music playing but Lydia could swear she was hearing something. The more she stared at it, voices continued to whisper, none of what their saying was coherent.

She slowly looks up to see faces press out of the wall above the record player, whispering to her. She was completely frozen, having no idea what this meant.
——————————————————

While in the lake house, Liam is still unconscious. Scott reminds Kira that Liam is only fifteen and they're going to help him. "What if he doesn't want our help?" She asked.

"He will." Scott replied, in the basement, Stiles refused to leave the basement even though Malia was ready to hurt him and smash his face and feel his bones crack between her hands.

Stiles says that he's not going to let Malia hurt anyone. As Malia strains against the chains, the tear in the leather cuff starts to widen. Stiles isn't going to have a choice.

This may be the only party Lydia hated to host, she was by herself and there were not one but three werewolves on the property.

One who only got his powers twenty four hours ago, as she continued keeping an eye on these kids.
——————————————————

In the lake house, Scott tells Kira that he can hear music from the house. Kira wished they would play slow songs at parties; she's always been better at slow dancing.

Scott pulls out his mobile phone and puts on a slow song for them to dance to. Kira looks over at Liam. "What about him?" She asked.

"He can dance with me next time." Scott joked. As they danced, Kira asked Scott how he stayed in control during the full moon.

Scott explained it the best he could, it was about making sure his pulse didn't get too fast and his heart rate didn't go up.

It still takes a lot of concentration. Kira wanted to know what happens if something distracts him. Scott thinks he's 'undistractible'. Kira gives him a few slow kisses to test the theory.

He was fine until she started sucking on his earlobe. Scott thought he was still in control but Kira called him out because his eyes were suddenly glowing.

Scott quickly squeezed his eyes shut and shook his head. When he opened them they seemed to go back to normal. "Cheater." Scott muttered.

"I also just heard you growl." Kira teased, but that wasn't Scott. That was Liam. He was all wolfed out and pretty pissed.

The chains he was hooked up to him should hold; Liam couldn't possibly be strong enough to break through them.

Except that he is. Liam broke out of the chains and ran at Scott and Kira. They jumped out of the way. Liam crashed through the boathouse window and ran off.

Finn went outside, taking out his phone, and opening his messages to check for the hundredth time of Liam's last text, sighing that he hasn't seen him all night.

And the party was only an hour in. He took his cup of punch and stood near the deck, he may have been confident to a degree, but parties weren't his thing.

While he continued being in chilled air, he was finally able to breathe, it was unbelievably cramped in the house.

It was heading toward ten o'clock, and he was nervous. Did Liam ditch the party? Mason told him he was supposed to be there.

When he put his phone away, he looked up to see a light coming from the boathouse. He felt startled at the sudden noise and saw someone run into the woods, and then another person after them.

Instead of sticking around to see what was happening, Finn went back inside, it was official, this was the worst party he'd ever been invited to.

Even if it was his first one, meanwhile Scott chased Liam through the woods. Stopping and looking to see which direction went.

But out of nowhere, Liam jumped and tackled Scott to the ground, punching him and trying to tear him apart.

Liam started yelling that it was all Scott's fault, though Scott wasn't having any of it and roared as loud as he possibly could and that shut Liam up real quick.

He reared back to strike a killing blow and is stopped when an explosive arrow hits the tree above Scott, blinding him.

Liam ran off again. Scott looked up to see Chris Argent standing on a slight incline with a crossbow in his hands. Chris walked down to Scott and helped him up.

"How did you know?" Scott inquired.

Chris kept his weapon aimed at the ground, "I got your text." Chris told Scott that there was a clearing just north of where they're standing.

Scott just needed to get Liam to it; the rest was taken care of. "What are you going to do?" He asked.

Chris flipped it around, "He's your Beta, Scott. The better question is what are you going to do?"

Scott frustratedly replied, "He won't listen to me."

"He will if you start using your own words." Then what they heard was a scream in the distance. Chris handed Scott a little remote control button thing and Scott once again ran off to find Liam.

Liam has conveniently found himself in the clearing all by himself. He's surrounded by ultrasonic emitters and was being deafened by them.

Scott used the remote controller to turn the emitters off. Liam shifted back, he was human again, and he looks scared as he asks what's happening to him.

"Same thing that happened to me." He told the young teen. Chris watched as Liam talked to Scott.

The kid didn't want his parents to know about this. He couldn't do that to them. Not again, he'd already caused enough trouble. "What do you mean 'again'?"

Liam sighed, "I got kicked out of school. And I deserved it. The way they looked at me when they saw what I did to that car." He didn't want his parents to see him like this, like a monster.

"You're not a monster. You're a werewolf. Like me." Scott stood up and his eyes glowed a beaming red, and Liam stopped crying.

Kira was starting to wonder where Lydia was, so she started walking through the dispersing party, looking for her. Most of the teens were either drunk, passed out, or left and headed home.

She went upstairs and found Lydia still standing in the soundproof room, staring at the wall. The record player was still going but all Kira could hear was scratching. "What do you hear?"

"The key. The key to break the code." Lydia said. She got up and brought her computer upstairs. The code fills the screen again and this time she enters the keyword: ALLISON.

After a failed attempt at partying it up, Finn decided to hitch a ride with Mason, who was kind enough to take him home, he was tuckered out, not even thinking about Liam ghosting him.

Okay, that was a lie, but to be fair it was kind of a douche move to invite your friend to an event and then not show up after three hours.

So as soon as he got to his house, he went upstairs to his room, flopping onto his bed exhaustedly, he was even too tired to watch YouTube.

As his eyes were fluttering shut, he thought about talking to Liam on Monday. Definitely wanting to tear into him as he knew absolutely no one, excluding Mason.

The past twenty four hours have been insane, he got chased by a psycho who tried to kill him, was kidnapped by Stiles and Scott, and then invited to a party. His eyes finally closed and he drifted off in deep luless sleep.
