Igniting The Spark

Chapter One: The Call

Stiles was in his room working on how to stop Monroe, learning Archaic Latin and working on the pack's bestiary when he got a call. Looking at his phone he saw Liam's name.

He and Liam got much closer, in fact, the more distant he got with Scott the more he realised that Scott was turning people against him, the students and teachers, the town, the pack... even his dad. Something that he felt was unforgivable.

His trust in Scott had been slowly fading since Scott used Derek to bite Gerard. The horrifying act was something that Stiles would never have believed he was capable of if he had not seen it for himself.

Knowing that Scott was slowly turning people he cared about, people he loved against him hurt. Stiles had always treated Scott with respect, love and care. To know that he betrayed Stiles like that, broke something inside him. Stiles had been willing to die for him, kill for him and live for him... now he looked at Scott and all he saw was a hypocritical asshole.

Stiles considered leaving the pack but he didn't want to lose his family. He knew Derek and Malia would follow him, Peter, too... maybe even Liam but they needed their pack bond, otherwise they would eventually turn feral. Lydia, Mason and Corey would also follow him... he wasn't sure about the rest of the pack but he didn't want to be the reason that they all fell apart.

Answering the phone he was shocked when he heard his pack mate, Liam was obviously crying something that the pup hated anyone seeing. That he called while he was crying caused Stiles to worry.

"Pup, what's wrong!??" Stiles asked, trying to stay calm and collected but inside he was freaking out. It didn't help that Liam started crying more, sniffles turning into loud sobs.

"Where are you?!?" Stiles demanded when Liam only continued to cry. Stiles was freaking out because of the lack of answers. Was he hurt? He couldn't be kidnapped because he was talking on the phone, or well crying. Was he healing? Was it even physical?

"H—home" Liam stuttered out. Stiles almost sighed in relief when he answered. Getting up he grabbed his keys before running down the stairs and out the door.

Driving to Liam's house didn't take long, he stayed on the phone the whole way there trying to calm the werewolf down. When he pulled up outside he cringed when he saw Liam's parents' cars out front though it didn't stop him from entering the house without knocking. Stiles ignored the yells of startled parents when he rushed up the stairs, loud footsteps behind him.

He only hung up the phone when he saw Liam who was sitting at the end of his bed crying, face red and full of tears. Stiles rushed to his pup and pulled him into a hug. Sitting on the bed with Liam on his lap he rubbed his back and told him to let it all out. No sooner were the words said that Liam started sobbing, low whines and loud howls.

Something was really wrong, he just didn't know what. Stiles pulled his pup as close as he could while humming a soft tune his mother used to hum to him when he was young and sick. After an hour Liam started to calm down, another half an hour and he was able to talk. Stiles doesn't know when Liam's parents left but the door was open and they could probably hear that Liam was no longer sobbing.

"What's wrong pup? Where you hurt?" Stiles asked gently, part of rubbing his hands over him was also to check for injuries, there were no physical signs of wounds, no torn clothes or bleeding but that didn't mean he was alright.

"No" Liam whimpered, causing Stiles to relax somewhat. Making sure to scent his pup.

"Then what happened?" Stiles asked as he pulled back to see Liam who was reluctant to move from his side.

"I—W—we... Theo and I... we—e were searching for Monroe and we found her...T—theo and I decided to try and tak—ke her outt before she saw us... I ripped her throat out... there was so much blood but we didn't want her turning she Theo shot her in the head... I—I thought we did good but when Scott found out he got so mad! He yelled at us for killing her! He called us monsters! And then h—h—he kic—ck us from the pack" Liam explained stuttering and then talking so fast even Stiles found it a little hard to keep up but when he was finished, Stiles felt his blood boil.
