Ludicrous (A Really Weird Teen Wolf AU)

Chapter 7: Paramedics and Throwbacks

Scott sat numbly on the steps of the animal clinic, his face illuminated by a mixture of red and blue lights. The buzz of voices of authority and police radio static filled his ears, but he felt like a statue. An invisible statue as the paramedics carried a black body bag out of the building, not even giving the grieving senior a second look as they stepped around him. The crushing loss- another crushing loss- registered through Scott's body as he sat in despair. He couldn't even muster up the strength to contact the pack about the fate of their druid. So he sat, mourning and alone, until someone approached him.

Derek sat next to Scott on the stairs, not saying anything. Nothing needed to be said- they've been through this more than once before. So he sat, waiting for Scott to talk when he was ready. The young alpha has been through a lot- they both have. Sometimes they just needed a minute to process.

Scott finally turned toward his mentor, dark brown eyes brimming with tears. "He's gone Derek." he whispered. Derek put a comforting hand on the younger's shoulder knowing he'd continue when ready. The teen nodded to the ambulance, where a group of nurses and doctors stood, talking in hushed voices. "They're saying his heart just stopped. It just suddenly stopped beating. But that doesn't make any sense- Deaton was in perfect health- his heart had no reason to stop. There was no natural cause for this to happen."

Derek nodded. "Witchcraft." Scott let the tears finally fall, blaming himself. Whoever this witch was, they didn't just turn people into puppies. Not anymore anyway. Speaking of puppies..

Scott bolted up from his depression filled spot of sorrow, suddenly alert. Derek stood up too, alarmed.

"Liam." he mumbled. Derek furrowed his brows and Scott quickly elaborated. "He's gone- I can't find him. I was looking for him earlier, and then I got the call, and-" Derek cut the alpha off.

"Oh yeah, I meant to text you but I'm still getting used to this stupid phone..." he trailed off, scowling at the little black rectangle in his pocket. "Liam climbed into my car, and I brought him to my house by mistake." Scott raised his eyebrows, at a loss for words.

"Well where is he now?" he asked, the worry draining out of his body as relief took it's place.

Derek shrugged and said this sentence in the most casual way possible. "He's tied to a tree by my loft."

Scott only stared in disbelief. Derek frowned. "What?" he asked the younger one.

Scott scoffed a little before rubbing his chin. "Derek, that's animal cruelty.."

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

Liam growled and glowered to himself from his spot on the grass. Suddenly determined, he got to his tiny feet, and pulled with all of his now-limited strength against his prision. The scratchy rope around his neck wasn't tight, but it was sturdy. No matter how hard he pulled and yanked, it was to no avail. Defeated, the pup finally sank back against the large sycamore.

Liam couldn't believe it. He was a human being for goodness sakes..... a human being trapped in the body of a golden retriever puppy..

But he's still Liam frickin Dunbar! And Liam frickin Dunbar does not appreciate being tied to a tree. At all.

He could only wallow for so long before he heard the Toyota. Lydia's Toyota...

In the Toyota, the banshee was practically bouncing in delight from Scott's text to get Liam. Normally, this would've elicited a huff with an eyeroll, then a reluctant nod with the purse of her glossed lips. But now that the little teenage boy is in the form of a little fluffy puppy...

The click of heels then followed the sound of the car door closing. The senior practically squealed when she saw Liam.

Oh God.. Liam thought, trying to back further from his packmate, her shadow looming over him intimidatingly. Liam whimpered softly, dread filling his veins, for what the banshee could do to him was far far worse than being tied to a tree...

He'd need like twenty baths from the amount of lipstick they'd need to get out of his fur..

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

Peter couldn't believe how well things were going for him. He'd successfully completely two thirds of his plan. Not only had he successfully escaped Eichen House, he has also lured the teenage Hale girl (who of course only knew she was adopted with no recollection of her birthparents) to Beacon Hills. And with the spellbook, he'd taught the inexpierianced witch the basics. Now, with the second spellbook, they were ready for the third and final part of the plan.

This plan was beyond just killing Scott McCall and his poor excuse of a pack- it was about the one (and only) thing Peter Hale really ever wants.

Power.

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

Hayden paced nervously, wearing down her already worn down carpet even more. She chewed on a hangnail while she paced, a million and one thoughts running through her already stressed out mind. Usually Liam was there to relieve that stress.... But now that he's a puppy of all things..

Besides, this particular problem wasn't one Hayden would consult with Liam about.. This problem left Hayden all on her own. Unless ..

Lydia. Yes. This was a job for Lydia.

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

Under normal circumstances, Liam would be okay with the Martin household. It was clean, big, and always smelled like rose petals and hairspray- like Lydia. Normally, when he was driven to the Martin home, Liam wouldn't even bat an eye at the thought. But ever since the whole "puppy turning incident" or whatever you want to call it, Liam hasn't been well, too excited at the idea..

Currently, the sophomore was practically drowning in the one hundred thread count cotton sheets and assortment of other blankets on Lydia's unmade bed. (Which was weird in Liam's mind- Lydia had always seemed like the make- the- bed- after- you- get- up type of person.) Now why was Liam hiding under the covers on Lydia Martin's bed? One word. (Well one name.)

Prada....

Okay so maybe Lydia's dog was bigger than him.. And maybe it wanted to attack him... So maybe Liam was scared since Lydia decided to take a call in the hallway.

Speaking of that, Liam wondered if she was almost done. He was started to get really really bored..
Tuning in his ears to the sound of the senior's voice, he could hear the entire conversation between her and... Hayden??

"I just don't know what to do. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before- heck, I haven't even had a boyfriend for this long." Hayden nervously chatted from the other line. He could practically sense the purse of Lydia's lips.

"Hayden, I've been through something like this before-"

"You have?!" Hayden interrupted.

"Yes, now shush and let me speak. Anyway, my sophomore year in high school, I had a boyfriend named Jackson-"

"Oh man- you mean the lizard dude that turned into a werewolf?!"

"Well, yeah. But he wasn't a lizard while we were dating.. I hope.." Lydia pauses for a moment. "No, he wasn't. Anyway, he started to hit on Allison- Scott's girlfriend. So I got jealous, and might've hooked up with Scott in coach's office."

"You did what?!?!"

"Yeah, I know- crazy!"

"Oh my God. Was he a good kisser?"

And that's where Liam tuned the hell out. He did not need to know how a good of a kisser his frickin alpha was.

Liam thought about the conversation he just evesdropped to. What happened to Hayden that has never happened to her before? It clearly has something to do with him since she did mention "boyfriend" in the next sentence. It couldn't be the whole puppy thing. Otherwise, the story Lydia told would be rather abrupt. And Lydia did say that something like it had happened to her. Besides, Lydia only ever mentions her past boyfriends if it's truely necessary. Also, Liam's pretty sure no one- except maybe Stiles- knows about the kiss between Lydia and Scott. I mean, they both sort of cheated on Jackson and Allison. Wait a second. Its like a lightbulb suddenly blinked on in Liam's mind, making the answer so so clear..

Hayden cheated on him.
