I looked towards the window where Liam's voice was coming from but all I saw was a monster,
'Please, Kara, help me' he pleaded again.
'What is wrong?' I asked uncertainly.
'There is some sort of threat in National City and my dad is there, I'm scared and it doesn't help being a werewolf on a full moon!' Liam yelled through the window.
Should I shoot off to National City right now? Alex is there, that means revealing my powers to him? Will he tell Scott and Stiles about my powers I don't want them knowing yet, they won't understand. But then again Liam is a bloody werewolf for christ's sake!
I grab my phone and text Winn,
Kara: I'm coming for a visit

It will take far too long to drive there or like Liam was ready todo, run.
'Okay, we are going to National City.' I told him, climbing out of the window.
'Now?' He asked
'Yes, now. I have some friends and family in National City too.' I said jumping onto the hard surface below, I was on the bottom floor so I didn't have the struggle of getting out unnoticed if I was on the top floor.

'But how are we going to get there?' Asked Liam inquisitively.
'You can not tell anyone. If you tell anyone it will cost you your life.' I told him sternly and then I smirked at him as pushed my feet of the ground thrusting into the air, only a few meters from him so he could still see and hear me.
'h-how? How can u do that' he asked frightened at the fact that I was floating in the air.
'I'm not going to tell you.' I said, it wasn't that I wasn't ready to share that I'm an alien it was that he and every other human were not ready to hear that aliens inhabited the earth and their own towns. 
'How am I meant to trust you if I don't know anything about you?' He asked exasperated.
'I guess you'll just have to keep an eye on me.' I told him smiling, happy to be able to be to use my powers that have been building up for the past few days.
'What about you, werewolf? Classic.' I inquired not interested in his supernatural appearance.
'Classic? Werewolf's are awesome!' He countered,
'Sure, your the oldest supernatural creature in the book. There are so many of you!' I told him laughing at his pathetic face all confused.
'Book? And how do you know so much? Why doesn't Scott know what you are?' He asked.
'I've been hiding for a long time I know how to blend in and the book is something you won't understand.' He is just too young to understand and I'd had enough of this interrogation.
'Are you going to run to the city or do want a ride?' I asked him impatiently.
'I think I'll run.' He said looking wearily at me floating up above him.
'Afraid of heights?' I asked
'Not a fan.' He told me.
'Okay, race you there' I zoomed off before I could here him answer, I stopped half way so I wouldn't have to wait when I got to the city.
Liam slowed down as he approached me and leaned on his knees gasping for air.
'Still want to run?' I asked him sarcastically. He looked up at me.
'Argh NO!' He said
'Okay! Hold on and don't look down.' I told him
I took his hand tightly and then pushed off the ground going slower then I normally would if I was flying by myself but I had a passenger afraid of heights on board.

We landed on the top of the Hale Media Corp building and using my heightened hearing I could hear that Ms Hale was still in her office screaming into her phone.
'Okay what was the threat in National City?' I asked Liam.
'There was none.' A voice answered but it wasn't Liam's, it was Malia's. I turned around astonished to see Malia there on top of the building with us.
'What is this?' I asked courteously, looking around for any more surprises.
'It's a kid napping. Now that you've shown your true colors we can tell everyone what you truly are.' She told me, there was one thing missing, they don't know what I am. I am so grateful that I refused to share that information with Liam and he doesn't know what the book is so he can't find out what I am. They will never get me to show my powers by force, unless they have kryptonite which is highly unlikely since they are a couple of high school werewolf wanna-bees and they have no connections with anyone powerful so I would consider myself safe from Kryptonite threats.

'And who am I truly?' I ask her, she looks over to Liam for the answer and he shakes his head.
'We'll find it out soon enough!' She told me angrily.
'How soon?' I asked getting her really fired up. That was the last straw she glared at me her eyes turning a glowing bright blue and punched me right in the face with her fist, I was out like a light.

'She won't notice if you-' a voice started to say,
'She's waking up' a voice cut in I looked towards the voices and only saw blurry, out of focus figures walking towards me. As one of them knelt down by my head their face came into focus, it was Malia because how could I forget that she kidnapped me. I looked behind her to see Liam putting his phone away.
'I'm sorry Kara I really am, I didn't mean for you to be hurt or for you to lose my trust.' Liam said with an apologetic look on his face but Malia was just staring at me grinning,
'I'm not sorry.' Malia said and walked away.

I did not expect what happened next, there was a bang on the door and then Liam quickly dived to the side of the door landing on the dirty, rough concrete floor.
Malia, obviously not prepared or knowing of what was coming didn't have time to move away from the door as the door was kicked in with a hard kick and she was shoved to the ground by the heavy metal of the door. I got up off the ground stumbling a bit and backed away from the door not knowing if the intruders were friend or foe.
I squinted into the darkness behind the the doorframe and staring back at me were two glowing red orbe like eyes.

'Your going to be okay Kara.' A voice spoke which I could only assume that belonged to the glowing red eyes.
But I was not going to be okay, I was never going to be okay. I didn't look back at the red eyes I glanced at Liam and stared into his eyes for a few seconds before shooting off into the starry sky.

*just want to clear something up; I am not purposely trying to hate on Malia she was just in the right place in the right time. I love her but it's part of the story*
