"Whesft ighjutuos!" Kat chanted as she directed her hand forcefully to the test rabbit in the cage. This was the fifth test rabbit they've had- the rest had been guinie pigs. So far, the results had not been successful.

The rabbit in the cage did not blow up or suddenly die like it was supposed to. No, instead it turned into.....

a puppy.

Kat slammed her head against the table and groaned. It was like she was cursed or something!

A witch who was cursed. The irony.

Peter sighed from where he sat, which was on the floor under a litter of puppies. He was getting more and more frustrated. No matter what spell he gave the young witch, the result was always the same- puppies.

If he gets one more stinkin puppy...

"Alright, I suppose we could try this one.." Peter spoke with uncertainty. It was one of the simplest spells a witch could cast. It causes nosebleeds. That's it. 'Lets see her mess this one up.' Peter thought bitterly.

Kat lifted her head and glared. "What's the point? I'm useless! The only thing I can do is turn things into frickin puppies!!"

Peter pushed the squirming failed experiments from his lap and walked in his usual silent way to the teenager. He then proceeded to do a very non- peter- like thing.

He placed a hand on her shoulder, and comforted her.

Surprisingly, the sullen teen accepted it.

They sat like that a bit until Peter spoke.

"Come on. Give it a try. You'll get it eventually." he encouraged.

She gave him a watery smile and took a deep breath. "Xdrvbk juyfvcd!"

*******************************

Liam perched on the windowsill, a low growl rumbling in his chest as he focused his vision on the oak outside. The growl gradually became louder as the furry gray creature skit across the bark.

Who does this squirrel think he is- trespassing on my alpha's property? Liam thought in frustration as the stupid little ball of fuzz continued to frolick around the tree. The McCall's tree.

Another flicker of movement caught the beta's eye. It was another squirrel! This squirrel however was way more energetic than the first one. Within seconds, the two squirrels were chasing each other around the mighty oak, much to Liam's annoyance.

Ohhh that's the last straw! The pup growled to himself.

At the sound of furious barks and deep growls, Scott bolted upright from his place on the couch, where he had been napping. Looking around in alarm, he tried to find any reason for the pup's discomfort. Upon finding no answer, he instead looked for the pup himself.

It didn't take him long to spot the little animal in front of the kitchen window.

"What's wrong, Li?" he questioned the still barking pup. Scott has gotten better at realizing his queries were rhetorical. He usually refrains himself from asking, but everyone slips up once in a while.

Eventually, the alpha noticed the squirrels prancing on the big oak in his backyard. Chuckling a bit, he removed the puppy from the window, to which the beta resisted at first. Soon, he calmed down enough for Scott to carry him into the other room, where the pack sat waiting for everyone's favorite sourwolf to arrive.

Liam whimpered when he caught sight of Lydia reaching for him. Stiles gave his girlfriend a look as she cooed.

Malia and Hayden simultaneously snorted and crossed their arms at the exchange, sinking lower in their spots on the couch. It was quite entertaining.

Liam's always- sensitive ears caught the sound of the black camero out front and then a car door slamming shut. He leaped from Scott's arms and dashed to the front, letting out three sharp barks after each sharp knock on the wooden door. Scott followed his beta, and yanked open the door to reveal the dark yet lovable Derek Hale.

Liam barked and yipped, his tail wagging excitedly at Derek's heels. Derek glanced at the pup at his feet, then looked back at Scott with a questioning eyebrow raised.

"You got a dog?" he deadpanned, clearly shocked. Scott shifted on his feet, avoiding Derek's gaze.

Stiles entered, the pack on his heels. He smiled warmly at the older man. "Yo, Derek my man! I see you've been acquainted with Liam already." He guestered to the silent but still tail-wagging pup. Derek's eyebrow raised even higher if that's possible.

"You named your dog after your beta?!" he questioned the alpha in disbelief. Scott let out a frustrated sigh.

"No- that is Liam!" He didn't mean to be so blunt with Derek, but the former alpha shrugged it off as he gazed at the pup again, studying him.

"What the hell- how?!" He bent down to inspect further, but the pup leaped onto him immediately, licking his face. Derek sort of growled as he pried the beta off of him.

Scott explained the whole story as the group moved to the living room, Liam hanging contently in the crook of Derek's arm. Derek, being the quiet person he is, just listened without interrupting- unlike the rest of the pack when Hayden tried to explain.

"So that's when I called you. Deaton said it was witchcraft, and the source was traced back to the old Hale mansion." Scott finished.

Derek nodded a bit. "And I come into this... where?"

"Well, the source is a spell book- one used by your family and has been in it for years."

"So you assumed it was a Hale who cursed your beta?" Derek asked bluntly. The group exchanged a look.

Scott shifted again. "Well Deaton also mentioned something about the Hale vault, and how that's where your family stored the book and only Hales can open the vault, so.." he explained. The group nodded behind him for emphasis.

"And we assumed if anyone knew what it was or if maybe you knew who it might be.." Stiles added, trailing off at Derek's nod.

"You're right, it most likely was a Hale, but why?" he wondered aloud.

"And why Liam?" Hayden added.

"And maybe this has something to do with Peter's jailbreak from Eichen.." Lydia chimed in.

The group nodded simultaneously as they pondered everything. It was quite entertaining...
