Mermaid in Beacon Hills Season Five

The Catcher in the Rye

The days before the start of senior year Stiles and Scott were in the woods watching over a chained up to the tree Liam. Stiles has doubts about graduating and going to college. Fearful of change and leaving his home and friends behind to go on there separate paths in life. Scott makes light of the daunting situation excited about getting out of this town while Stiles still can. Walking up to Liam, Victoria smiles at him before checking him over. "The moon is pretty full are you sure you're in control ?" She asks while he nods before Victoria drops her smirking face. "Yeah you said that last time and we had to chase your naked ass through the streets. You wouldn't believe how many calls came in to the station about a naked teen running on all fours howling at the moon." Victoria says before patting his cheek lightly before walking towards the best friend duo. "Hello bitches." I say hip bumping Stiles while I hit Scott on his shoulder. Looking over to the town below the bluff, I smile, seeing the lit up town. "Wow Stiles how come you've never brought me up here ?" I ask while Stiles just gives me a look, causing my eyes to widen slightly before I smirk. "That's right we're to preoccupied with each other to take in the scenery." I say raising my eyebrows up and down suggestively. Scott catches on looking away coughing slightly, while Stiles just looks at me looking over to Scott then back at me. Raising a brow at him he smiles at me before bringing me over to him. My head grows fuzzy before his voice fills my subconscious. I can't help but laugh, while he complains to me, through our link about bringing up our sexy time rendezvous in the forest around his friend. "Oh hush." I say out loud before pulling away. "We have our senior night thing in two hours, should we leave him tied up ?" I ask while looking over to Liam. "Yeah he will be fine." Stiles says indifferently and I guffaw at Liams' face. "We can't leave him up here." I say laughing while walking towards Liam. "Plus the full moon will be passing over soon. I'm his anchor he will be fine." I say smiling softly at Liam before I grab the key from stiles unlocking the chains. Unraveling them easily, Liam pulls away pulling me into a hug. "Yeah all calm." He says while Victoria giggles. Stiles brow twitches before he yanks Victoria away from Liam. "She's my girlfriend, you no touchy." He says rubbing his face against mine. Looking at Liam he and I smirk at each other before I wink causing him to laugh. "Let's go my husband, we have senior night to attend." I say jokingly to Stiles but he doesn't laugh he just looks at me. "What ? We're going to get married eventually right. Might as well start calling you my husband now." I say while I go to my car while Liam gets in with me. "Who said the beta wolf could ride with you ?" Stiles asks while I look back at him. "Your jealousy is cute, see you at the school after I drop him off back home." I say getting in before pulling my SUV out of its parking spot before driving towards the end of the preserve getting on the road. "You have a crush on me ?" Victoria asks Liam while he chokes on his water bottle looking to me blushing slightly. "I well Um, huh ?" He jumbles out. While I smile at him stopping at a red light. "It's just because your beautiful and I like your personality." He admits looking over to her, while she smiles again looking back up to the now green light. "I have that allure about me. Is that why I'm your anchor?"

"No I don't know it's just your voice that calmed me down and your touch. Just being near you, I don't feel angry." He says while I nod. "I'm happy being the one able enough to keep you in check. As for the crush I'm already partnered for life with Stiles because he's my marrow. Although he cheated on me with Malia, long story. I couldn't give into the handsome temptation that is you Liam."

"Wait Stiles cheated on you ? With Malia ?" Liam questions while looking over to her. "Yeah while he was possessed by the evil spirit." I reply pulling up to his house. Liam wants to tell her the truth about what really happened but he can't see her upset again. He overheard Malia and Stiles talking about not telling Victoria ever, about what really happened that night at Eichon house. He wasn't possessed then, he was in full control of his emotions. Dropping Liam off, Victoria waves and he waves back before Victoria turns heading down the street. The smile that was once on her face drops. Hearing the erratic heartbeat of Liam shows for concern. "What is he not telling me ?" Seeing the rain begin to pour Victoria Groans pulling into the school with a roll of her eyes. "It would begin to rain." Looking around Victoria sees no one while she slips on her raincoat and rubber gloves. Opening her door she avoids the rain opening her umbrella getting out and locking the doors. Going under the pavilion quickly, I sigh out before shaking the water off away from the umbrella. Looking around I try to spot my friends but don't, heading into the school I drop off my umbrella before taking off my gloves and jacket after steaming them dry. Walking into the schools library, I seek my friends out but don't find them. Seeing Lydia off to the side I walk over to her before looking around some more. "Where is everybody ?" With that the doors open again and the rest of our group walks in. "You guys look like you've been in a fight ?" I say while we get in line to sign our initials on the metal bookcases. Tradition and what not.

"Yeah we did." Stiles says standing next to me while I step back from his wet form. Looking up to the steps, I sigh at the many people before us. "So who did you guys fight ?" I ask while I head up the steps some before stopping. "A werewolf with talons." Scott says while I look back at him. "You mean a chimera ?" Looking at me funnily I sigh. "A chimera, is a mixture of multiple species into one, if you stumbled upon one like you said, it's rare and hard to make a successful one because the body rejects all the DNA that courses through the veins. Killing the thing or person." I say before I smile at a girl before me grabbing the sharpie writing VS on the metal before handing the marker to Stiles who writes SS next to mine. This goes on before it's handed to Scott who hesitates for a few moments while I walk over to him. "It's okay to write her initials Scott." I tell him softly before he does that after another moment of hesitation. AA. Then he writes SM before handing it to the person behind him. Walking back down the stairs, I smile at him while he wraps his arm around my shoulder, we walk outside the schools doors. "Hey it quit raining." I say with a smile while he nods.

"Lydia hurry up ! I know you can hear me." The nurse shouts. Lydia just stands there under the pouring stream of hot water unmoving, unfeeling. The woman grows annoyed and she walks over to Lydia, who blankly stares at a wall. The woman grabs her face, turning her head to look over at her but Lydia is looking up to the space above. Hair dripping wet, clothes soaked from her hair, the nurses walk Lydia back to her cell. Laying her down she stares up to the ceiling unmoving, still. Another nurse comes in after the woman before telling him to up her dosage to really make her catatonic. Sitting down the man looks at her before talking absentmindedly. "Oops I missed the vein." He says before turning her lead to the side to inject the medication into her neck. Suddenly Lydia sits up screaming shattering the light fixtures. Fighting of Brunski, she gets out looking right then left at the nurses. Running to one she wraps her body around his before sending him to the ground. Screaming, she thrusts her hands out, to localize her screams, knocking the man unconscious. Running outside, she fights off more before she runs for the stairs before stopping. "I have to warn them." She says

Gabriel Valack disguised as Aiden just smirks. "Your treatment isn't over yet Lydia." He says before Lydia turns only to be stopped by more security. They begin to electrocute her while she groans falling to the floor before looking up to Gabriel. "They're all going to die, my friends, are all going to die."
