Before the police came, Scott took Liam and Nova to his house with the help of Stiles. Stiles was beyond upset that Scott brought Nova into this mess. The fact that she got hurt made him even more upset. He didn't care that she's a werewolf, she's still his little sister. He will always worry and care about her.

Now Nova, Scott, and Stiles had the problem of dealing with Liam who Scott tied up with duct tape and put him in his bathtub. "So, you bit Liam." Stiles was the first to speak. He and Scott were sitting on the edge of Scott's bed where Scott put Nova. He glances back at Nova, who was sitting on the bed behind him and Scott with her back leaned against the wall. "And you brought my little sister here."

"She wanted to check on Liam!" Scott defended himself.

Nova nods. "Scott's right. And if you're worried about the cut I got, I'm fine. It's already starting to heal."

"You technically kidnapped both of them." Stiles commented, looking at Scott with an angered expression since he was still mad at him.

"Well, not exactly." Nova shakes her head. "It's not kidnapping if I willingly went with him." She pauses for a moment as she thinks before she nods and says, "But yeah, it is kidnapping with what he did with Liam." She crosses her arms with a frown on her lips. "Still not okay about the fact you have my best friend tied with duct tape in your bathtub."

"I panicked." Scott admitted.

Stiles bites his lower lip, staring at the floor with a nervous expression. "This isn't going to end with us burying the pieces of his body out in the desert, is it?"

"Yeah, no." Nova immediately replies in a sassy tone. She looks at the two boys with a glare. "I'm not letting you two do that with my best friend," A low growl escapes her lips as her eyes glow a bright yellow. "And if you do that anyway then I'll kill you both."

Scott and Stiles look slightly intimdated by her and they immediately nod. "Okay, got it." Stiles muttered.

Nova and the boys glance at Scott's closed door of his bathroom where they heard the muffled cries that belonged to Liam. "As a reminder, this is why I always come up with the plans. Your plans suck." Stiles pointed at Scott.

"I know." Scott nodded.

"Your plans aren't the greatest either, Stiles." Nova remarked, rolling her eyes.

Stiles looks back at her with a glare and Scott speaks up, not wanting the siblings to start a fight. "So, what are we going to do?"

Stiles then suggests they should bring Liam out of the bathtub, put him on a chair in front of Scott's bed, and that Nova should be the one to take the duct tape off his mouth. Nova put the wooden chair in front of Scott's bed while the boys sat Liam down.

"Okay, Li," Nova spoke in a soft tone, kneeling in front of him. Liam looks at her, his heavy breathing slowly beginning to calm down at the sight of her. "I'm gonna take the tape off your mouth. Can you please not scream?" Nova asked him, looking at him with a small smile, that smile widening when Liam nodded.

Liam lets out a pained grunt when she rips the duct tape off. "Okay, great." Stiles speaks up while Nova stands beside him. Stiles looks at Liam. "Now you've seen a lot of confusing things tonight." He glances at Nova. "Both of you have." He then looks back at Liam. "And more confusing things are going to happen because of the confusing things that happened tonight. Do you two understand?"

Nova and Liam didn't understand what Stiles said at all. They both looked at him with confusion as they speak at the same time. "Nope." "Not really."

"Good. That's good." Stiles pointed at Liam and then at Nova.

Scott glances at him with confusion. "I don't understand either."

Stiles grimaces, pointing at him. "Maybe you should tell him."

Furrowing his eyebrows, Liam looks at the two boys in front of him. "Tell me what?"

"Liam..." Scott turns to face Liam. "What happened to you, what I did to you, which I had to do in order to save you, it's going to change you."

"Unless it kills you." Stiles added and Liam looked at him with wide eyes.

"Why would you say that to him?!" Nova exclaimed, glaring at Stiles. Sometimes Stiles could be a complete idiot.

Stiles apologetically smiles and sighs, upset with himself for saying that. "Shouldn't have said that."

"What?" Liam looks at Scott and Stiles with fear in his eyes. Nova turns to Liam, her eyes growing wide when he begins to cry. Scott and Stiles looks at Liam with wide eyes as well. "Uh-oh." Stiles said, looking at his sister and Scott with panic. "Is he...Is he crying?"

"Hey, Li." Nova speaks softly, trying to gain Liam's attention and it works because he glances at her. "Liam," Nova kneels down in front of Liam again, her heart beginning to break into pieces at the sight of her best friend crying. "You're gonna be okay, alright? We'll make sure of that."

"Yeah," Scott agrees, kneeling beside Nova. "You're not gonna die."

Stiles kneels beside the other side of Nova, looking at Liam as he shrugs. "Probably." He chimed in, earning him a slap to his shoulder from Nova.

Scott sends him a small glare. "Would you stop it?"

"Okay," Stiles nods. "Possibly not." Nova rolled her eyes, slapping Stiles' shoulder again. Stiles glared at her, rubbing the spot on his shoulder that she hit.

Scott sighs heavily. "Would you just help me untie him?"

"Yeah." Stiles responded. Nova stood up as Scott and Stiles untied Liam. Liam stared down at the floor while Nova looked at him worriedly.

"Liam? Are you okay?" Scott asked him.

"We're sorry about that. We're really sorry." Stiles apologized. Nova watched with concern whwn Liam stood up, still staring at the floor. Her eyes grow wide with surprise when Liam grabbed the chair and threw it at Scott. The hard impact and it happening all of a sudden caught Scott off guard and it caused him to fall to the floor.

"Liam-" Nova tried getting Liam's attention, letting out a gasp when he punches Stiles roughly after seeing Stiles going up to him. Stiles groans in pain and he falls to the floor. Liam locks eyes with Nova for a split second before he turned around, jumped over where Scott laid, and made a run for it.

"Liam, wait!" Nova yelled, starting to run after him. Liam stopped in the hallway only to look down when he realized he didn't have any shoes on. Nova moved to the wall closer when her brother and Scott stumble into the hallway.

"Get him!" Stiles yelled, pointing at Liam.

Liam turns around, his eyes widening at the sight of Scott and Stiles running at him. He lets out a scream when the boys tackle him. Nova rushes to the top of the stairs, watching with concern and a bit of amusement while the boys tumble down the stairs. Nova's eyes widened when Liam gets out of the boy's grasp and heads for the door. Nova looked at her brother and Scott, seeing they were tangled up with each other. Stiles shouted that he got Liam when in reality he was holding Scott's foot.

"Hey, idiot!" Nova yells, getting Stiles' attention. Stiles looks at her, breathing heavily. "That's Scott's foot. not Liam's." Nova pointed out. Stiles looks at the foot he was holding and then in front of him where Scott was. He let go of Scott and they get off each other.

"And Liam escaped." Nova sighed, pointing to the door that was open. Scott and Stiles looks at her with confusion and then turns to look at the open door. Their eyes widened.

"Yeah, Nova was right." Scott speaks up, looking at Stiles with annoyance. "Your plans sucked, too."

****

The next morning Nova got a ride from Stiles to school. That was another reason why she was thankful of having Stiles. She was glad she didn't have to ride the bus like most freshmen do. She also got to inform Malia that she knows about the supernatural world which Malia was happy about because now she doesn't have to hide things from her.

This night also happened to be a full moon. Stiles told Nova they were planning to go to Lydia's boat house where they usually went to keep ahold of Malia since she still had trouble controlling. Nova was confused at why Scott didn't have that much trouble, but it made more sense when Stiles told her that it took him a lot of practice.

Nova was now in the hallway, walking up to Liam with Scott. A few seconds ago, she was waiting by the front of the school so she could spot Liam when he arrived. Once she saw him, she texted Scott and Stiles. That's when she met up with Scott. Nova noticed Stiles rushed around the left corner at the end of the hallway and walks towards Liam. Now Liam was trapped.

"Liam, hey!" Stiles called out to the freshman and pointed at him. He walked up to him as Nova and Scott now stood in front of the young boy.

"We need to talk." Scott said to Liam. Liam then tells each of them to back up and Stiles did. "Can you just listen for one second, please?" Scott asked him.

Liam looks at him, then at Stiles, and then at Nova. Nova looks at him pleadingly, hoping that he will. She didn't know much about the supernatural, but she knows Liam shouldn't have to go through this alone. Liam sighs, nodding as he looks at Scott. "Liam...." Scott starts. "We're brothers now."

Nova looks at him with narrowed eyes, wondering where he was going with this. Liam looks at him with furrowed eyebrows. "What?" He questioned with confusion on his face.

Sighing, Stiles shakes his head at Scott with a disappointed look on his face. "What are you talking about?" Liam questions, looking at Stiles and back at Scott with an angered expression. "We just met and you bit me."

"The bite...The bite is a gift." Scott continued and Nova facepalms at his bad attempt of telling Liam about being a werewolf.

"Scott, stop." Stiles tells him, quickly rushing over to him. "Please, stop." He pleaded, patting him on the shoulder. He now stands between Scott and his sister. He sends a glare at Liam, pointing at him. "You, you, we're trying to help you, you little runt."

Liam raises his eyebrows at Scott and Stiles, nodding his head. "By kidnapping me?"

"Just to clarify, Scott kidnapped you." Stiles replies, pointing at Scott. "You too." He adds, looking at Nova. He looks back at Liam. "I aided and abetted."

"Liam, I've gone through this before." Scott tells Liam. He gestures to Nova. "Even Nova has gone through this before. Something's happening to you. Something big."

Liam looks at each of them, shaking his head quickly. "Nothing's happening to me." Nova watches with wide eyes when Liam takes the bandage off his arm, revealing no scar or blood on his arm. "Nothing." Liam repeated, showing them his arm before he walked away.

"Well," Nova breaks the silence that filled the air, glancing at the boys with an awkward smile. "At least now we know that his healing abilities work."

****

"I'm not sharing my basement." Malia shook her head.

"Actually," Lydia speaks up, looking at Malia. "It's my basement. And my mom noticed how you fore it up last time."

"Alright, she's still learning." Stiles chimed in.

Scott gestures to himself and Kira. "We were gonna use the boat house for Liam. It's got support beams. We can chain him to one of them." He gestures to Nova. "And Nova said she can be there too since it seems like Liam is more calm when she's around."

"Nuh-uh." Stiles points at him, turning his pointing hand at Nova with a determined look on his face. "No way are you going to the boat house."

Nova groans, wishing her brother wasn't so protective. "Oh, come on, Sti. You guys are gonna need all the help you can get." She smiles, glancing at Scott and Kira. "And I'll have Scott and Kira with me if something happens."

Stiles stares at her for a few seconds, his shoulders slumping in defeat when she gave him her puppy dog eyes. "Okay, fine." He looks away from her. "Just put those puppy dog eyes away. I hate it I can't say no to you when you do that." Stiles grumbled, crossing his arms.

Nova grins. "I know. That's why I use them all the time."

"Okay, but how do we get him out to the lake house if he doesn't trust us?" Kira questioned.

"He does trust one of us." Stiles answered, turning to Nova along with everyone else.

"Me?" Nova asked, looking at him with wide eyes, pointing at herself.

"Yes you, you dummy." Stiles rolls his eyes at her. "You're his best friend, so it's obvious for you to be the one to invite him out there."

"Okay, yeah," Nova nods, reaches her hand up and flicks Stiles for calling her a dummy. He looks at her with a glare and she glares back at him. "I'll do that."

"Great." Lydia smiles, turning to Nova. "And to convince him to go out there with you, you can tell him there's a party there."

"There's a problem though. Neither of us can drive yet." Nova reminds the group as she looks at each of them. "So..." She drags out the word, tilting her head to the side as she raises her eyebrows. "How are we gonna get there?"

"I can drive you there." Kira offered, smiling at Nova.

Nova returns the smile. "Thanks, Kira."

"Alright, good, great." Stiles said, nervously smiling at everyone. "Let's hope this works."

****

Nova had to admit she was a bit nervous for later that night. Even though Nova hasn't been a werewolf for that long she managed to learn how to keep somewhat good control on the full moon quickly. She still sometimes has trouble, but she's good at keeping control for the most part thanks to Scott for teaching her how. Nova walks around a corner and reaches the top of the stairs. She starts walking down the steps as the door of the classroom Liam and Mason are in opens. She saw that Mason was talking to Liam about something, but as Liam looks over in Nova's direction, a smile tugged on his lips while they lock eyes. Even though she has seen that smile before for some reason this time she had butterflies in her stomach.

She smiles back at him, and the next thing she knew she was falling forward. She regrets not paying attention as she lands first face on the floor. She blushes in embarrassment, keeping her gaze at the floor. She hopes no one only other than Liam and Mason saw what happened.

Liam rushes over to her, kneeling in front of her. "Are-Are you okay?" He asked, his voice laced with concern.

"Yep. Yeah." Nova nods. A sigh left her lips, mentally scolding herself for not paying attention. "That was totally supposed to happen."

Liam chuckles lightly, reaching a hand to her to help her up. Nova looks at him with a smile, takes his hand, and lets him help her stand. "There's something I wanted to ask you." She points at him. "Just letting you know, falling down the stairs was not part of the plan." When Liam let go of her hand, Nova had to admit she missed his touch.

Liam laughs a bit, shrugging his shoulders. "If it means anything, I don't think anyone but me and Mason noticed."

"Okay, good." A relieved smile tugs on Nova's lips. "So, um..." She nervously fiddles with her hands as she speaks. She wondered if Liam could hear how loud her heartbeat was beating because to her it sounded so loud. "There's a party tonight. Do you wanna go with me?"

Liam looks at her with surprise. He knew she wasn't a fan of parties, so it surprised him she asked him to go to one. "A party?" He furrows his eyebrows, concern filling his eyes again. "Are you feeling okay?"

"Yeah." Nova nods, smiling nervously. "There's just this party happening tonight one of my brother's friends is having and I wanted to know if you wanted to go with me."

"As friends, of course!" She quickly added.

"Yeah," Liam smiles at her. "I'd love to go."

"Great." Nova smiles, relieved he agreed. "Oh, and by the way, one of Stiles friends, Kira, is going to drive us there."

****

Nova sat in the backseat with Liam while Kira drove them to Lydia's boat house. Music on the radio played and Nova looks over at Liam when she heard movement. It looked like the music was almost hurting him. She knew what was happening to him because the same thing happened to her. When she was first turned into a werewolf, any normal sound like music or the school bell for example, would be as if it was extremely loud when in reality it wasn't. But then she got used to having enhanced hearing and she knew that Liam would get use to it as well.

"It's Lydia Martin's lake house." Kira explained to Liam where the party was. She then rambled on to say how it's actually Lydia's grandmother's lake house. While Kira drives them there, the others made sure everything was set in place.

Furrowing her eyebrows, Nova's eyes fill with concern as she glanced at her best friend. "Liam, are you okay?"

"I-I'm fine." Liam stutters out a reply. He holds onto his ears, looking at Kira. "Can you turn the music down?"

Kira glances back at him with confusion. "You mean, you want me to turn it up?" She reaches over and turns it up a bit.

Liam jumps whenever he hears his phone buzz. He gets his phone out to see he got a text from Mason. "Um, who's coming to this party?" He looked over at Nova, who shared a panicked look with Kira through the rear-view mirror.

"Um...Everyone." Kira stammered. Kira continues to drive to the lake house while Nova noticed that Liam started to breath heavily. She looked at Kira through the rear-view mirror again, this time sharing a worried look. Kira parked her car next to where Stiles' jeep is parked once they get to the lake house.

"Where is everyone?" Liam questioned.

"Oh, uh," Nova glances over at Kira before she looks back at Liam with a nervous smile. "They're here."

"Yeah, it's a small party." Kira smiled.

Liam furrows his eyebrows, glancing around the parking area that was slightly late. "I thought you said everyone was coming."

"They are." Kira nods. "They're late."

"And we are super early, but thats okay." Nova adds, hooking her arm with his, guiding him over to the door while Kira follows him. "Let's go." They get inside the lake house and as Liam noticed the others standing there, Nova let go of his arm. Liam looked at Kira when she closed the door.

Kira apologetically smiles at him. "Sorry."

Liam sighs, turning to face the others, asking what this was. "Think of it like an intervention." Stiles replies. "You have a problem, Liam."

Scott nods. "And we're the only ones who can help."

After telling Liam what kind of supernatural creature each of them are, Liam repeats what they are to make sure he understands. "Werecoyote." Liam points at Malia who nods. Liam points at Lydia. "Banshee." Pointing at him, Lydia nods. Liam looks at Kira, who stood behind him. "Fox?"

"Kitsune." Kira corrects him, shrugging her shoulders. "But fox works."

Liam looks at Nova, who stood beside him. "You're a werewolf?"

"Yep." Nova nodded, showing her glowing yellow eyes to him and his eyes grew wide.

Liam had to admit he was hurt she didn't tell him a big secret like that and he made a mental note to talk to her about that later. "Okay, um," Liam slowly nods, turning to Stiles. "What are you?"

"Uh, for a little while, I was possessed by an evil spirit. It was very evil." Stiles responded.

"What are you now?" Liam asked Stiles, crossing his arms.

"Better." Stiles replies, glancing at his friends, not really knowing what to say. "Um..."

Nova chuckles lightly. "He"s still human." She rolls her eyes. "But I think he became more annoying."

Malia snickers, shrugging when Stiles looked at her with offens since he was offended she snickered at Nova insulting him.

Liam gestures to the bag of chains on the coffee table with a nod of his head. "Are those for me?"

"No, they're for me." Malia answered, showing Liam her glowing bright blue eyes, causing Liam's eyes to widen.

"How'd you do that?" He looks at Nova with furrowed eyebrows. "And how'd you make your eyes glow like that?"

"You'll learn." Scott tells Liam. "But first, you need to get through the full moon."

"The moon's already out." Liam pointed out.

Scott nods. "And you're starting to feel something, aren't ya?"

"I feel like I'm surrounded by a bunch of psychotic nutjobs and Nova." Liam said. Nova smiled a bit, happy he didn't refer her as a psychotic nutjub.

Liam looks at each of them with disbelief, beginning to breath heavily. "You guys are out of your freaking minds." He looks at Malia and Nova this time. The more he talks the more he sounds angry. "I don't know how you two did that eye thing and I don't care." He then raises his voice. "I'm walking out the door right now!"

Suddenly he started screaming, holding his hands on his head and he knelt to the ground. Nova stepped forward, looking at him worriedly. She didn't know if she needed to go help him or try to comfort him. She wasn't even for sure what was going on with him she just wanted to help him feel better. She looked at the others for confirmation of what was happening.

After seeing Nova's look, Scott steps towards Liam and asks, "What's wrong, Liam?"

Liam looks at him with furrowed eyebrows. "You don't hear that?" Scott uses his werewolf hearing, looking at the windows. Nova's eyes widened when she heard the engine of cars with her werewolf hearing and she glanced at the window seconds after Scott did. Everyone else then looked at the window when they see car lights.

Liam continues to scream and hold his ears while Lydia asks, "Did you tell someone about this?"

"My friend Mason." Liam replies, breathing heavily as he looks at Nova. "You said it was a party."

Nova sends him an apologetic smile. "Yeah, sorry."

"Who did Mason invite?" Stiles asked Liam.

From her spot now by the windows, Kira looks back at everyone with a worried expression. "Everyone."

Nova's eyes grow wide when she sees Liam had claws out, now scratching them on the floor. Lydia takes a step forward, panicking a bit. "The floors! Get him off the floors!" She moved back to where she was originally standing when Liam roared.

Scott looks at Kira and Nova with wide eyes. "We need to get him to the boat house right. Now!"
