Fearless » Liam Dunbar

The Benefactor

"Like I said, I told my dad everything I could" As soon as I heard Stiles' voice I jumped up from my bed.

"But you didn't tell him about Liam?" My brother asked worriedly.

"Scott, you barley told me about Liam" Stiles said. "What did you do with him anyway"

I stood at the top of the stairs and Scott looked up at me nervously. "He's upstairs..."

"Doing what?" Stiles questioned.

"Lying down..." Scott said unconvincingly.

I scoffed. "Oh yeah, totally lying down" I said crossing my arms.

Stiles looked at Scott and followed him upstairs.

I sighed."You might wanna see this" I lead him to the bathroom where you could hear Liam's muffled screams. Stiles pulled back the shower curtain, took one look at Liam tied up in duct tape, and then closed it again.

The three of us headed to Scott's room. The boys sat on the edges of the bed and I stood in front of them. Stiles turned to look at Scott.

"So you bit him?"

"Yeah"

"And you kidnapped him?"

"Yeah"

"And brought him here?"

"He panicked" I interjected. Scott shot me a glare and Stiles sighed.

"This isn't going to end up with us burying pieces of his body in the dessert is it?" Liam's muffled cries got louder.

"No, no it's not" I said, hoping Liam would hear and be reassured.

"As a reminder, this is why I always come up with the plans, your plans suck" Stiles said as he looked between us.

"Which why I called you"

I set up one of Scott's wooden chairs and Scott and Stiles brought a panicking Liam in.

"Is the tape really necessary?" I asked.

"Definitely" Stiles said, struggling against Liam who was kicking.
"Liam. We're gonna take the tape off your mouth. If you scream, it goes straight back on. If you talk quietly, it stays off" Stiles said. Liam's eyes darted between all of us and he nodded. "Rebecca, do the honours"

I sighed and walked over to Liam. "Sorry" I said, slowly pulling the tape off. Stiles huffed impatiently, grabbed my hand and ripped the rest of it off. Liam grunted.

"Okay, Liam, now you've seen a lot of confusing things tonight and more confusing things are going to happen because of the confusing things that happened tonight. Do you understand?" Stiles said.

"Not really"

"Good, that's good"

"I don't understand either" Scott said.

I slapped my palm to my forehead. "I can't believe this"

"Maybe you should tell him?" Stiles suggested to Scott.

"Tell me what?"

"Liam" Scott started. "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" he said.

"Unless it kills you" Stiles interrupted. I smacked him on the back of the head. "Shouldn't have said that" he winced rubbing the back of his head.

"What!" Liam started hyperventilating.

"Uh, uh oh, oh-oh is he- is he crying" Stiles said.

I knelt down in front of Liam wiped away his tears. "It's okay you're not going to die" I said softly.
