Anchors






Stiles had a bad dream and he saw the nematon. He woke up, gasping. He sat up and rubbed his face.

"You okay? Stiles?" He felt two hands rubbing his arm.

"Yeah, I was just dreaming. It was weird. It was like a dream within a dream." He turns to see Juliet, sharing the same bed.

"A nightmare?" Juliet asked him. He looked at her, she's not supposed to be here. As he looked at her, she smiled.

"Yeah. Wait a second, Juliet. What are you doing here?" Just as he said that, the door creaked open. "Hang on." He got up but Juliet hold him back.

"Stiles, where are you going?"

"I'm just gonna close the door." He kept looking at the door.

"Just go back to sleep."she shook her head.

"No, no, I should close it."

"Don't worry about it." She whispered.

"What if someone comes in?" He got up and walked towards the door.

"Like who? Just go back to sleep, Stiles."

"No. But what if they get in?" He whispered as he got closer.

"What if who gets in? Stiles, just leave it. Please. Stiles. Stiles, come back to bed. Stiles. Please. Don't, Stiles. Don't! Don't go in there, please, don't. Please, Stiles, don't!" She yelled over and over. As He opened the door, she stop. He walk in to see the nematon again. Lights came up and he blocked it.

"It's a dream. This is just a dream. It's just a dream, get it out of your head, Stiles. You're dreaming. All right? So, wake up, Stiles. Wake up, Stiles. Wake up!" He hit his head and started to yell and his dad came running in to calm him down.

Scott overheard Juliet telling Demetri to wait for her so she can change. He opened the door to go to school and he sees Demetri about to knock on the door. Over the summer, Demetri kissed Juliet and that went to something else but it was stopped by him as he saw them almost having sex on the couch. It was a short fling, that quickly ended when they agreed to never talk about it ever again.

"Hey." He said as he cleared his throat.

"Oh. Hey."

"Um, are you going to school?" He pointed at his backpack.

"Yeah."

"Okay, me too." He lifted his up to show his backpack.

"Good."

"Can I can I ask you a question?" His heartbeat was going fast.

"Okay." Scott crossed his arms.

"Are you angry at me?" He asked him. Ever since that Juliet and Demetri made out, the way Scott made a deadly look at him, he's been scared of him ever since.

"No."

"Are you sure?" He questioned him again.

"No."

"What's that mean?" He shook his head.

"I guess I'm not really sure how I'm feeling."

"Okay. Do you hate me?" Scott laughed.

"No, of course not." Okay, maybe a little.

"Do you want to hit me?"

"No."

"I think you should hit me." He sighed. "Right here." Demitri pointed at his eye.

"I don't want to hit you." Scott told him.

"Are you sure?" He asked again.

"Why would I want to hit you? You didn't do it again, did you?"

"No. I mean, um." He started to stutter. "What do you mean?"

"I mean like you didn't have sex with her or anything, right?" Scott looked at him straight in his eyes.

"No! Absolutely not. No." He shook his head and waving his hands.

"Did you want to?"

"Oh, yeah. Totally." He sighed. Scott smiled at him and tossed him across the room, him hitting the wall.

"Hey!" Their mom yelled out. Juliet and Isaac came out of the rooms to see what had happened.

"Scott! Demetri!" Juliet said as she looked at the two.

"You two supernatural teenage boys. Don't test my entirely un-supernatural level of patience." Their mom pointed at them and walked back to the kitchen.

"Feel better?" Demetri asked him. Scott just walked off.



Juliet asked Demetri to give her a couple of minutes to do her makeup. She stood up and looked at the mirror, touching her face, eyes and lips. She went to grabbed her bag and take one last look on the big mirror. She looked up and saw a big werewolf like creature with red eyes and fangs. She yelped and punched the mirror.

"Oh my god." She whispered to myself. Glass was all shattered all over her room. The door opened quickly and Demetri walk in. "It's okay..."

"No it's not okay." He looked at the glass. "What happened?"

"I thought I saw a monster." She looked up at him. He kneeled down and helped her pick up the glass. "Can we just go to school?" He nodded. They got in his car and drove to school. Demetri left her so he can go to the student council. She walked by herself and looked out on the field, there it was, big bad wolf. She turned around to run but walked into someone.

"Hey. Hey, you all right?" Stiles said as she walked into him. she didn't look up to him, she was scared out of her mind. She hasn't slept, she was paler than ever.

"You don't look all right, Juliet." Scott said as she looked at him.

"I'm okay." She started to shake.

"No, you're not. It's happening to you too. You're seeing things, aren't you?" Stiles told her and she looked at them,

"How'd you know?" she whispered. Stiles back away and Lydia and Allison walked towards them.

"Because it's happening to all four of you." Lydia told them. "Well, well, look who's no longer the crazy one." Lydia said as we followed her into the school,

"We're not crazy." Juliet told her.

"Hallucinating? Sleep paralysis? Yeah, you guys are fine." She turned around.

"We did die and come back to life. That's gotta have some side effects, right?" Scott question.

"We keep an eye on each other. Okay? And Lydia, stop enjoying this so much." Stiles told Lydia as they all walked to their classes.

"What?" Lydia looked up.

"Good morning, everyone. My name is Mr. Yukimura. I'll be taking over for your previous History Teacher. My family and I moved here three weeks ago. I'm sure, by now, you all know my daughter, Kira. Or you might not since she's never actually mentioned anyone from school. Or brought a friend home for that matter." They heard a bang and looked to see a girl look up and wave at everyone. Scott stared at her. "Now, let's begin with American History at the turn of the 20th century." They got out of class and Juliet was talking to Demetri and Isaiah as they went to their locker.

"Maybe we need a little more time to get back to normal." She said as she opened the locker.

"Yeah, try not to forget you guys hit the reset button on a supernatural beacon for supernatural creatures. There's a pretty good chance things are never going back to normal." Isaiah smiled at the end, Demetri gave him a look.

"Yeah." She whispered. She looked behind her and again saw the 'monster' she gasps.

"Oh, Juliet, your eyes." Demetri warned her.

"What about them?" She asked.

"They're starting to glow." She quickly looked her mirror, they really were. she tried to turn them back to normal but couldn't.

"Oh god."

"Juliet, stop. Stop it."

"I can't I can't control it." She covered them up with her hand.

"All right, just keep your head down. Look down, come on. Keep your head down." Demetri took her hand and went to a empty classroom.

"Get back! Get away from me." She growled at them.

"Juliet, it's okay." Isaiah told her as she backed away.

"I don't know what's going to happen. Get back." She started to yell at them as they got closer. Her fangs grew in and she bit her arm. She suddenly went back to normal.

"Pain makes you human." Demetri told her. He helped her clean up the blood that had fallen onto the floor. She can't stop this, and she wants to. Shes so scared that she can't sleep anymore, every time she closes her eyes, she sees the people she killed and the monster. Let's now call her bad big bad wolf version, a monster. They later got out of school and she went home.  She stood up all night listening to music, talking to Stiles and drinked so much coffee that she made it to go to school.

"Okay, so what happens to a person who has a near-death experience and comes out of it seeing things?" Scott said as he chewed pen as they brought two lunch tables together.

"And is unable to tell what's real or not?" Stiles told the group,

"And is being haunted by demonic visions of dead relatives?" Allison looked at them.

"And is seeing what they might become?" Juliet told them as she played with a strand of her hair.

"They're all locked up because they're insane." Isaac joined in.

"Ha. Can you at least try to be helpful, please?" Stiles rolled his eyes at him.

"For half my childhood, I was locked in a freezer. So, being helpful is kind of a new thing for me." And that's a good way to start this.

"Hey, dude, are you still milking that?" Isaiah said at Isaac. "Me and Demitri had it worse than all of you here, and we are 185 years old."

"Yeah, maybe I am still milking that."

"Hi. Hi, sorry. I couldn't help overhearing what you guys were talking about. And I think I actually might know what you're talking about." Kira came in as she smiled. "There's a Tibetan word for it. It's called "Bardo." It literally means "in-between state." The state between life and death. "

"And what do they call you?" Lydia asked her.

"Kira." They all looked at Scott. He smiled at Kira. "She's in our History class." He looked back at them.

"So are you talking Bardo in Tibetan Buddhism or Indian?" Lydia question her.

"Either, I guess." Kira sat down with them. "But all the stuff you guys were just saying? All that happens in Bardo. There are different progressive states where you can have hallucinations. Some you see, some you just hear. And you can by visited by peaceful and wrathful deities."

"Wrathful deities? And what are those?"  Demetri asked her.

"Like demons."

"Demons. Why not?" Stiles said as he smiled at Juliet.

"Hold on, if there are different progressive states, then what's the last one?" Allison looked at Kira as she asked her.

"Death. You die."

"Well, that's nice." Juliet sarcastically said as she looked at Stiles.
