"The last time you told me you were going camping, I was notified by the Sheriff that you actually went to Mexico," Aunt Carol protested.

Scott and Stiles asked me to join them on their trek to find Kira. Obviously I wouldn't say no...

"But we were camping! It was just...in Mexico." I mumbled the last part.

"Elizabeth," she sighed,

"I swear, Aunt Carol. We're just going camping." I picked up the duffel bag that I packed with tools and a few books.

"Fine. But only because I trust Scott and Stiles- well. Not Stiles, just Scott.." she trailed off, causing me to pull her in for a hug.

"Oh, I love you sweetie." she kissed my head, before stepping back slightly.

"I love you too." I smiled, "We'll be back tomorrow." I quickly rushed out the front door.

After Aunt Carol gave me permission to go with Scott and Stiles, even though it wasn't necessary because I would've gone anyway, I met them both at Scott's house. Stiles needed me to help him with the final few touches on his jeep, while Scott finished packing...or whatever it was Scott was doing.

"He's taking an awfully long time," I sighed, propping my elbows up on the jeep.

"Yeah," Stiles muttered, clearly not interested in a conversation. I began to watch him as he pulled out different parts of the engine.

"That looks important," I grab something from him before he can toss it to the side. He tries grabbing it from me before I freeze in my place. "Do you hear that?"

"Hear what?" Stiles narrows his eyes, as I purse my lips.

"Liam." I pipe up, as Stiles' eyes widen.

"Wha- no. No." he affirmed. I folded my arms,

"Stiles, you're a terrible liar." I hand him back the part to his jeep, and walk away from him, heading for Scott's kitchen.

"Liz- would you just-" Stiles started, but I closed the door behind me before he could finish.

I heard Scott and Liam talking as I walked in, "-But she's definitely alive.." Liam's voice spoke,

This was the first time Scott and Liam were talking since Liam almost- well, did, kill him. I should probably leave them alone to talk...

Nah.

"That's good," Scott breathed, causing my eyebrows to furrow.

"Scott we need your help with the-" I started, acting as though I didn't know Liam was there. "Liam." I lightly smiled, tucking a strand of loose hair behind me ear.

"Wha- uh. Where are you guys going?" he stammered.

"To get Kira. Her dad told us that her mom took her out of New Mexico, to this place called Shiprock. They're trying to figure out a way to help her, but it's dangerous...so we're gonna go find her, and bring her back." Scott explained, as I tried grabbing his arm so we could leave.

"Yeah, but the clock's tickin, so we gotta go." I added as I tugged on Scott's arm,

"I'll come with you," Liam started walking towards us.

"Ah- ah." I chimed in, "You can't."

Scott and I started back towards the garage before Liam stopped us. "Let me help. Let me do something. Just tell me what I can do."
