My Brother's Beta » Teen Wolf

three

I pass out. Or at least, that's what Scott told me. I wake up in my bed, and for a millisecond I think it was all just a dream. A horrifying, insanely realistic, dream.

Then I feel the blood on my wrist. Where the monster grabbed me. And I know it wasn't a dream. Some creature terrorized the hospital. Scott bit Liam.

I lift my head groggily to the sound of Stiles and Scott's voices in the room next to me. I push the covers off and stand up. Thankfully, someone changed me out of my skirt, so I'm left wearing running shorts and a tee shirt.

I enter Scott's room without knocking, to see Stiles and Scott sitting on his bed.

"Hey," I say tiredly. They both look stressed out, and don't bother to answer me.

"Scott kidnapped Liam," Stiles suddenly says, gaining a smack from Scott.

"You're not supposed to tell her that!" Scott exclaims. I take a step back.

"You what?"

A loud groan comes from Scott's bathroom. Before they can stop me, I run in and pull back the shower curtain.

Liam lays in the tub, duct tape over his mouth and around his torso. He looks up at me with pleading eyes, his voice muffled, "Jessica! Mmf! Jessica!"

My mouth falls open and I turn around to look at Scott. "What the-"

"Jess, go back to your room." He orders, pointing out the door. I scrunch my nose at him and shake my head.

"Jessica," He says sternly. I raise my eyebrows at him and shake my head.

"You kidnapped my friend." I tell him, crossing my arms. "I have a right to stay."

Scott rolls his eyes and Stiles shakes his head. They both proceed to lift Liam up from the tub and put him in a chair in Scott's room.

"Liam, we're going to take the tape off your mouth. If you scream, it goes right back on. If you talk quietly, it stays off. Got it?" Stiles says. Liam looks angry, but he nods. Stiles tears the tape off.

Liam's blue eyes meet mine and I can't help but feel a little bad. His whole life is going to be changed. He practically shakes with anger.

"Okay, Liam, you've seen a lot of confusing things tonight and even more confusing things are going to happen because of the confusing things that happened tonight, do you understand?" Stiles rambles. I roll my eyes.

"Not really," Liam replies, looking at me. I stare at the ground.

"Good that's good." Stiles says. Scott begins to talk over him.

"Wait, I don't understand either," He starts to say. I nearly face palm.

"Maybe you should tell him." Stiles tells Scott. Scott looks over at me, and then at Liam. I shrug.

"Tell me what?" Liam asks angrily, his teeth clenching. I bite my lip and look away. Scott starts to talk.

"Liam, what happened to you, what I did to you which I had to do in order to save you, it's gonna change you."

"Unless it kills you." Stiles adds. I smack his arm. "I shouldn't have said that."

Liam looks terrified. He breathes out, "What?"

"Uh," Stiles stumbles for what to say. Liam hangs his head down and starts whimpering, like he's crying.

"Oh, oh, no, is he crying?"
