— twenty one

WHATEVER PLANS ELIANA HAD WITH DEREK, SHE HAD DITCHED THEM FOR LYDIA MARTIN. Eliana couldn't remember the last time she properly had a real conversation with Lydia, they're lives had gotten completely messy with Jackson being a Kanima and killing people.

She arrived to the Argent household within minutes of Lydia calling her. Allison looked up from her homework to the sight of Eliana Torres in her bedroom. "Don't ask questions, Lydia's on her way."

Allison makes a "ahh" sound, smacking her lips together nodding. Just as Eliana sat down on the bed, Lydia walked through the door with three bags from Macys and bright smile on her face.

"Clear your schedule this could take a while." Lydia says smiling walking over to the bed, Allison smiled and joined her by the bed. Eliana stood up and turned.

"How many outfits do you plan on wearing tonight?" Allison asked her, peering down at the bags knowing each of them had different styles of clothes.

"It's my birthday party." Lydia says bringing out a black and grey striped dress. "I'm thinking host dress, evening dress then— after hours casual."

"I noticed that you didn't send out any invites." Allison mentions rubbing her hands together and side-glancing Eliana. "It's the biggest party of the year, Allison. Everyone knows."

Lydia tells her, plopping down a dress beside the others. "I was wondering if maybe this year... things might be different." Allison said peering down at the dresses.

"Why would anything be different?"

Allison turned away from her to Eliana, nudging with her eyes to say anything. "Well, things have been off lately— people too, everything's been weird... like Jackson."

Lydia paused and met Eliana' gaze. "Why do you care about, Jackson?" She asked curious. Eliana lips parted and cocked her head smiling. "Do you know if he's coming tonight?"

"Everyone's coming."

Allison nodded slowly. Lydia smiled reaching down a grabbed a nude colored dress. "This one's America rag. Mm, I love it. For me, not you." Lydia says tossing it down and grabbed a flowered dress. "This one's material girl, it's for you Annie."

Eliana stared at the dress and smiled softly, and a knock came to the door. Allison's mother walked in. "Mrs. Argent. What do you think of this one." Lydia asked the woman, holding a navy blue dress against her chest.

The woman smiled. "Oh, it's lovely. Allison. Can I grab you for a moment to talk? Just the two of us." Victoria turned to her daughter. Eliana furrowed noticing the way she pressed herself onto the wall.

"Uh, can we do it later?" Allison asked her mother, nudging her head to Lydia. "Actually, uh, to be honest sooner would be— would be better." Victoria said rubbing her shoulder.

"Party's at ten." Lydia mentions.

"Will you be around before then?" The woman asked. Allison looked away from her mother to the jewelry in Lydia's hands. "I think so."

"You think so?"

"I don't know."

"I like the black one." Lydia said bringing up the jewelry to Eliana' neck. Allison smiled holding the flowered dress to the girls chest. "Yeah, it's cute. By the way. Happy birthday."

"Happy birthday Lydia." Eliana smiled softly at the girl.

"Thank you, I actually appreciate that." Lydia says giggling, Eliana and Allison smiled and laughed along with her.

"She choice this dress?" Derek questioned, staring at the flowered dress handing behind the bathroom door. Eliana entered her room, with black tights and long t-shirt covering her body.

"Yeah, it's her birthday so I need to wear it and it just needs some coverage around the chest area." Eliana mentioned walking over to her dresser, grabbing the jewelry Lydia paired it with. "You're lucky she didn't give me a strapless dress."

Derek laughed. "Oh, I'm the lucky one." Eliana smiled gently grabbing the dress off its hook and entered the bathroom, removing her top before slipping on the dress, the dress was more for like hanging around the beach or just to wear and it was a struggle for Lydia to pick a dress for her friend who didn't really wear dresses.

"What do you think?" Eliana asked once she walked out the bathroom. "It's not completely yet, but what do you think?" Derek gaze softened watching her spin around showing him the complete outfit.

"You look beautiful." Derek said softly, looking up with a genuine smile that makes her shiver and blush. Eliana thank him and slip on her black heel boots and slips her jean jacket over the dress. "Are you ready?"

"Yeah." Eliana grabbed her phone, keys and placed them inside her purse. "Are you heading back to your Beta's after?" It was the full moon tonight and it was Boyd' and Erica first time with the full moon and he needed to head back to watch over them and to keep them from shredding themselves apart.

"Yeah, party's aren't for me either way." Derek said opening the passenger door open for her, Eliana nodded and got inside. Derek came around getting inside and drove away from the house towards Lydia's.

✩★✩

"I think I'm going to get a ride home with Stiles so you don't have to leave them alone." Eliana tells him, referring to his Beta's.

"That's fine, just text me when you get home." Derek says unlocking the doors. Eliana nodded getting out the car when Derek yanked her back in, she frowns and he kissed that frown away, she smiled kissing back before pulling back.

"Bye." She whispered getting out the car. Derek smiled and drove off once he noticed Allison by the entrance waiting for Eliana. "Wasn't that a sight to see." Allison teased smiling.

"Shut up." Eliana mumbles walking into the house and Allison followed behind her to the backyard of the home, it was completely empty, with not a single person in sight. "Are we early?"

Eliana asked her. Allison shook her head and shrugged. "I don't know." They walked towards a table with glass cups filled with pink punch, just as Stiles and Scott walked out the side doors.

"Uh, Jackson's not here." Allison mentions awkwardly avoiding eye contact with Scott. During the rave party Allison went with Matt after Scott told her too but then he found out that she told her father and her grandfather about Jackson being the Kanima which wasn't part of the plan and Scott may have yelled at her.

"Yeah, no one's here." Stiles said looking around the empty yard. Eliana shoved her hands in her coat pockets. "Maybe it's just early." Scott says.

"Or maybe nobody's coming because Lydia's turned into the town wack job." Stiles exclaims looking over at the birthday girl standing around.

"Well, we have to do something because we've completely ignored her for the past two weeks." Allison reminded.

"She's completely ignored Stiles the past ten years." Scott said glancing at his best friend. Stiles squints turning to Scott. "I prefer to think of it as me not having been on her radar, yet."

Scott shook his head looking over to Lydia. "We don't own her a party." Eliana tilted her head back, glancing back to Lydia, the poor girl was boring herself staring at the pool.

"What about the chance to get back to normal?" Allison asked him gently.

"Normal?"

"She wouldn't be the towns wack job if it wasn't for us." Allison explained to them. Eliana frowns at the sight of Lydia's bored state. "I guess I could use my co-captain status to get the lacrosse team here." Scott says sighing.

"Yeah, I also know some people who can get this thing going." Stiles exclaims bringing his phone out. "Like really going."

"Who?"

"I met them the other night." Stiles mentions and Eliana knew who he met. "Let's just say they know how to party."

✩★✩

The party was a success, and everyone was getting drunk off those pretty pink little drinks Lydia had been serving everyone all night, Eliana didn't drink once because the drink gave her an odd smell.

She walked down the stairs of the home, noticing a couple making out at the bottom of the stairs, she pushed past them and made it outside where Lydia was handing out drinks to those who didn't have drinks.

"Here, have a drink." Lydia placed a glass in her hand. Eliana took a whiff of the drink. "What's in this anyways?" Lydia smiled cocking her head.

"Happiness." Lydia says giggling, Eliana smiled nodding watching the birthday girl walked away, passing out more drinks. Eliana looked around the drunken people and poured the drink down into a plant. "Happiness my ass."

The party continued on and everyone was still very much drunk but way worse, Eliana had been on a search for her friends but couldn't find any of them, until she found Stiles slummed against a pillar, she grabbed a water bottle off the table and walked over to him.

"Stiles, hey look at me." Eliana patted his face gently trying to get a reaction. She opened the bottle brushing the top against his lips. "Drink the water. Stiles, drink it."

Scott approached Eliana from behind, noticing the that she was trying to wake him up. "Why's he like this? Why is everyone like this?" Eliana asked once she noticed Scott.

"Something happening and we need him to sober up right now." Scott says kneeling down, taking the bottle from her hands. "Come on, Stiles."

"What are you doing." Jasmine, a girl from Eliana' art class appeared from behind them, staring down at the slumped body. "You want to sober him up fast, that's not the way to do it."

"You can do better?" Scott asked.

"I can do best, boy." Jasmine yanked Stiles down into the pond of water, Eliana gasped stepping away from getting wet. Jasmine then pushed him back to sit, Stiles gasped spitting the water from his mouth. "How do you feel?"

"Like I might have to revisit my policy on hitting a girl." Stiles says glaring at the woman beside him, breathing through his open mouth, Eliana exhaled patting the teens wet chest. "He's sober." Jasmine says.

"Thanks, jaz." Eliana spoke softly smiling at the girl, and Scott gave her a smile before yanking Stiles up onto his feet. Jasmine nodded and walked away. "Okay, we need to split up and fine Lydia, like right now."

Scott tells them and they moved quickly in search for the birthday girl, Eliana check the bedrooms on the second floor finding no one expect for a couple laying on the bed doing completely nothing.

She then decided to head back downstairs to her friends. "I couldn't find Lydia." Eliana tells Scott and Stiles. "Yeah, me neither. And anyone who drank that crap they're freaking out." Stiles says.

Eliana turned over to the sound of splashing, some people decided to jump in the pool while having no idea what was happening to them. "I can see that." Scott said.

"What are we gonna do?" Eliana asked.

"I don't know but we have to—"

Scott paused in his conversation when the sound of yelling caught their attention. "I can't swim! No, no, no, no, stop, guys! I can't swim! I can't swim!" Matt Daehler shouted loudly with every bone in his body terrified of the water.

The group of many holding him didn't listen when they threw him into the pool. Matt gasped trying to reach the surface. "I can't— I can't—" Matt tried to grabbing onto anything but every time he did, the water yanked him back down.

Jackson pushed through the crowd and pulled Matt out of the water, the teen gasped hitting the ground, until he was brought up to his feet noticing the dozen of eyes staring at him.

"What are you looking at?" Matt question panting heavily, beginning to walk when he noticed Eliana, Stiles and Scott, he glared at Scott and continued to walk by them into the house.

"The copes are here! Party's over!"

"Run!" Everyone inside the pool got out and ran out the house, everyone was out of the house in seconds along with the three best friends where they found three police cars parked outside, everyone was running around screaming.
