Invisible String {2} TW

Ch. 5 I.E.D.

"Risperdal. It's an antipsychotic," Liam told them.

"Oh, this just gets better," Stiles muttered.

"I will rip your throat out," Ayla threatened.

"But I don't take it," Liam admitted.

"Obviously," Stiles replied.

Ayla turned towards him with a look that made him shrink back this time. "One more comment," she warned.

"I can't play lacrosse on it. It makes me too tired," Liam told them.

"It doesn't matter," she said, turning back to him. He looked at her, not sure what she meant. "You're a werewolf now. You're system would just burn through the medication without it ever really having any effect."

Scott nodded. "Okay. I think you should bail out of the game. Tell Coach your leg is still hurting," he told Liam.

"No, no!" Liam exclaimed, standing up. The other two werewolves did the same. "I can do this. Especially if you're there," he told the alpha.

"But, Liam, it's not just about the game. We think whoever killed DeMarco might be on our team," Scott told him.

"Who's DeMarco?" Liam wondered.

"The one who brought the beer to the party," Stiles explained.

"The werewolf, if we're getting specific," Ayla added.

"Yeah, the one who was beheaded. Remember?" Stiles asked.

"We think the person who ordered the keg killed Demarco," Scott told him. The beta frowned, seeming to get lost in thought.

"Liam," Ayla said, snapping him back into the moment. She raised an eyebrow at the beta. "You know something that we should?"

He shook his head. "I don't know who ordered the keg. But I know who paid for it," he told them.

Both Piper and Ayla made their way onto the stands to watch Scott and Kira's first game of the season. They took their seats together. Ayla was honestly kind of relieved that all their parents had been busy tonight.

"How bad do you think this is gonna go?" Piper asked her.

The she-wolf sighed. "I'm just hoping no one dies," Ayla admitted.

"It's great to know that we're being optimistic," Piper muttered.

The game began. They didn't make it very far into it before Scott and Stiles were already holding Liam back to keep him from attacking Brett on the field. They had settled the beta down for the moment, though.

"Remind me how this works?" Piper asked her ex.

"Ball in green goal, good. Ball in red goal, bad," Ayla simplified. She had tried to explain the game to the other girl about five times, but Piper didn't really understand sports in general.

The human nodded as they went back to watching. Stiles caught a ball and passed it to Kira, who then ran towards the goal. Coach screamed at her to pass it, but the kitsune just kept running until she got close enough to toss the ball into the goal. Piper jumped to her feet as everyone cheered. "That's my girl!" she screamed. Ayla managed a laugh as she cheered for her friend.
