Liam and I are waiting downstairs in Scott's house. We're waiting for Malia to pick up Scott's scent. "Ugh, Liam, Y/n, go home, you're not coming with us!" Stiles said, turning the corner and seeing us.

"Why not?!" Liam and I argued back. "Because, it's a full moon, and I don't feel like driving us all the way to Mexico just to have you rip my throat out."

"Hey, you know I have control. I was born with this. I've had control of my power since I was 5." I said. "Of course I know that, not you, Liam."

"You can lock me up, chain me down to the backseat or something." Liam suggested. "You tore through the last chains remember?" Malia pointed out, softly.

"Yeah, we'd have to freeze you in carbonate to get you down there." Stiles said. "Okay, where do we get carbonate?" Liam asked. Stiles stared at Liam with a weird face. "Seriously? You haven't seen it either?" He asked in disbelief, then walked away. Oh Stiles, always with the Star Wars references. "Wait." Liam stopped him.

"What if we put me in the trunk?"

"You'd get out of that too." Malia said. "Liam, you've been a werewolf all of five minutes. You don't have to do this. Neither do you Y/n."

"We know we don't but we want to." I said. "There's gotta be bigger chains, a bigger something, there has to be." Liam said desperately.

Stiles thought for a second and then nodded. "Maybe there is." He said.

We called Braeden and met her at a nearby empty warehouse. "How'd you get a prison transport van?" Stiles asked her. "I'm a U.S. marshal."

"Yeah, I just thought that was just a cover..." Stiles said. "We really bringing them?" Derek asked, appearing out of a van. He gets protective of me.

"We really bringing him?" Stiles retorted, pointing at my dad. "We're bringing everyone that we can. And considering Scott and Kira were taken the night before a full moon, we should probably get going." Dad said.

"What's that mean?" Malia asked. "If Kate took Scott back to the same temple she took Derek, how do we know she's not planning to do the same thing to him?"

"What, she wants to make him younger?" Liam asked, not understanding Kate's motives. To be honest, neither did I.

"Or take him back to when he wasn't a werewolf." Derek said. That could be it.

"A werewolf can't steal a true Alpha's power. But maybe an old were-jaguar with the power of Tezcatlipoca behind her, maybe she can." I said.

"So, if everyone is officially freaked out, I say we get going." Dad said.

"We can't. Not without Lydia." Stiles said. Lydia was heading to get something belonging to Kira to see if she could track her location.

Stiles was trying to call her. "What is she doing anyways?" Derek asked. "We've got Kira's sword, but we need something with a stronger scent. Lydia went to get a jacket out of Kira's locker." Malia explained.

"I got nothing." Stiles said, putting his phone in his pocket. "She has a car, she can catch up to us."

"That's a good point. We'll call from the road." Dad said, pointing at Braeden. "No, what if something happened, what if she's in trouble?" Stiles asked.

"Fine. You stay, you find her, we're gonna go on without you." Dad said. I gave him a look like "really?"

"I can call Mason. He has a study group at school, maybe he can look for her."
