Part 12 : Lizzy

We run home, both shocked by what happend. Liam is freaking out and suprised at the same time, I can tell cause his heart is racing. I'm crying a bit because of all the emotion. It's my house, the McCall-Argent-Lahey house. Waiting for us, there is Scott, Alli, Isaac, Melissa and Chris. When my brother sees me at the door, he jumps out of the chair he was in to run to me, asking :

- What happend ? Are you hurt ?

- We're not. But we think someone might've taken Parrish.

I suddenly notice Lydia in the corner of the room, crying.

- We know. says Allison.

- How ?

- I heard it. says Lydia with a small voice between tears.

- What happend at the station ? asks Scott.

Flashback of what happend earlier outside of the station :

- Izzy ? I'm so happy you could come, I know you had a date with Theo and I'm sorry I ruined it but...

- It wasn't a date. We're just friends.

- Oh... Ok.

- What did you need backup for ?

- I heard something. And to be honest, I have a bad feeling about this.

We look around, looking for a threat. And then we see it : all deputies on the night shift down and handcuffed to their desk, and men in white uniform that I've never seen before.

- Eichen House. says Liam.

- Who?

- Not who, what. These dudes are from Eichen House, the nuthouse of Beacon Hills, and they're not here to joke.

One of them has an electrical belt and he's like swinging it around. I step back and notice that the hellhound, the guy on fire who happens to be a deputy isn't here. Maybe he doesn't work the night shift, but maybe it's also not a coincidence that guards from a nuthouse happen to pay a visit to the sheriff station where one of the most powerful supernatural creatures works. Liam is getting ready to fight and he suddenly jumps and takes down two guards with him. That's it, he changed, and claws out, he fights like a king protecting his queen. I pull my taser out of my pocket and Liam looks at me, surprised.

- What ? You didn't think I was gonna walk around in the middle of nowhere unarmed ! Especially after that weird text you sent me in the middle of the freaking night!

I tase a guy getting too close to me but I don't see another one pointing a gun at my face and unlocking the security to be ready to pull the trigger at any moment now.

- Liam...

- Let her go !

Liam tries to come closer but that man doesn't let him and shoots in the wall just next to him, probably to show us he can shoot damn well.

- If I were you, I'd step back or she'll have a hole in the heart. So if I see any claws, fangs, glowing eyes or whatever, you won't have a girlfriend anymore.

Liam chooses to listen to my abductor and not to make a move. He also does not say anything because he knows that whatever he tries to get me outta this situation could kill me at any moment.

- I'm gonna walk away really slowly and you are not gonna make a move until I'm out.

- If you think you're gonna get away with this...

I say.

- Shut up ! he responds.

The man shoots me in the foot. Like I expected, I don't feel a thing. Me and Cora did some test so she shot me in both feet, the arms, the legs... Basically everywhere. No pain, the bullet just... Disappears. Well, it probably doesn't ever disappear but I have no idea where it goes. Maybe it's still somewhere in my skin... Argh ! Disgusting.

- Why aren't you hurt ? asks the man, suprised.

I smile.

- Because I don't like it when you threaten my boyfriend.

Liam takes the opportunity to push the guy against the wall. Since, as I suspected, he's only human, he doesn't get back up and stays inconsious.

- How did you... ? asks Liam.

- It doesn't matter. We're both safe. Now let's get out of here !

Present, in the McCall-Argent-Lahey house :

- But how did you get out of there alive ? Or at least without any scratch ?

- Iz... starts Liam.

- I wasn't fast enough. Liam was. He saved my life and I think when he pushed that man against the wall, he broke all his bones.

- Sorry.

- Well, I'm glad you're both okay. says Melissa, relieved.

- Thank you for protecting her. says Isaac to Liam.

I smile. Looks like my brother is approving of whatever is going on between me and Liam.

- Iz, can I talk to you for a minute ? asks me Liam. He drags me into my room and closes the door.

- Okay what's going on ?

- Let me talk first.

- No. How did you not bleed when he shot you in the foot ? Even I would've screamed like hell and certainly not be able to run like that less than two minutes later ! And how the hell does that not seem to suprise you ?

I stay quiet for a few, thinking about what I could say to him that would explain my actions without making it seem crazy or like I'm messing around.

- Please say something ! Just rip the bandage off !

- I think I might be a vampire.

- Put the bandage back on.

I decided to tell the truth for once in my life. Look how it's turning out !

- Liam...

- Vampires don't exist !

- No, but werewolves, chimeras, banshees, kitsunes and even hellhounds do ?

- Okay, we're literally in a supernatural town ! But... Vampires ? Seriously, it just seems to come from a fantastic novel. I've never seen any vampires. Scott has never seen any vampires.

- But does that mean they don't exist ? First, I'm never sick. Never ! Not once in my entire life have I been sick ! Second, someone shot me in the toe and my body literally didn't feel a thing ! Third, I can hear better than you guys. I know it's crazy ! But Cora and I made experiments !

- Wait, Cora's involved ?

- Cora's my best friend. Of course she's involved !

- And why didn't you tell me anything ?

- Well that's maybe because you were too busy making out with your little girlfriend. But that's not the worst part. Everytime I see or smell blood, I feel bad, worse than Stiles. And it's terrifying because it attracts me, like a magnet. I know this is fucked up. But please promise me you'll keep your mouth shut at least until I find proof.

- When we were there...

- Yes ?

- Why did you tell him I was your boyfriend ?

- What ?! I didn't. Why would I say that you're my boyfriend since you're not actually my boyfriend ?

- I don't know.

- And everyone knows you're Hayden's boyfriend, that's even the first thing Cora told me about you. And it's not like we could forget it or anything since you two spend your days making out, literally don't you have something to do with your life people ? Not that I actually watch or any weird stuff, whatever you're doing, I don't need to say it cause we all know what you're doing. Actually, i hate watching you with her. And I even hate everything about her, her hair, her clothes, her teeth ! Is that possible to hate someone's teeth ? Why do I hate Hayden's teeth ? Oh, and her name ! God I hate her name ! It was like her parents expected her to succeed in everything, to have a perfect life ! How the fuck am I supposed to compete with that ? I mean, I'm just Izzy, and like always I talk way too much to say stupid things and I can't stop. I mean I try, but I just can't stop ! Can you please stop me or I'll say other...

And there, Liam kisses me. Of course I kiss him back. It's passionate, but not too much. It's perfect.

- The best way to get a girl to stop talking is to kiss her.

- So what, you do that with all the girls who don't shut up ? There's a lot.

- Please don't ruin the moment.

- But what about Hayden ?

- And you ruined it.

- Yeah I ruined it.

He laughs.

- I like you a lot, Izzy Lahey.

- And I like you a lot too Liam Dunbar.

- And it doesn't matter if you're a human, a vampire or even a witch. I'd still like you.

- I didn't thank you.

- For what ?

- Saving my ass before a total ordinary human sociopath shoots me.

- Well, he did shoot you.

We laugh.

- And that's a miracle ! I mean we have to tell Scott ! And Lydia, Stiles, Malia and the others !

- No we don't.

- What ?

- Way too much people already know this, wich was supposed to be a secret by the way.

- What, only me and Cora !

- And Theo.

- You told Theo before you told me ?

- Liam, we weren't close before today with you saving my life and me telling you my secret. I've always been more friends with Theo than with you ! And it's a good thing because I don't think we could ever be friends. We're more.
