Cold







In the morning


Juliet woke up with the biggest headache, she new she couldn't miss school, her mom will kill her so she got herself ready to go to school. She promised if it got worse, yes go home. She patched herself up in the bathroom, the bleed on her head stopped she and headed out the door. Scott was still sleeping and she didn't want to be late because of him so she rode her skateboard all the way to school.

"Juliet, is it hot or is it you?" many guys, mostly Jacksons jackasses of friends, called her that as she walked past the group to meet with Stiles and Scott, who surprisedly made it to school before her.

In high school, they like to pick on Scott, which also meant picking on the little sister, trying to flirt with her because they love to see him get mad and do nothing about it. Juliet hated it, always pretended it didn't bother her. At this point she was just annoyed. Juliet blanked out, spaced out, which involved her bumping into someone and she flew off her board, rolling onto the ground.

"I'm so sorry!" The same guy she crashed into ran towards her.

"It's fine, I didn't see you there." He helped her up. "Juliet McCall."

"Demetri Hastings." He had to be new. She has never seen anyone was good looking here in Beacon Hills. She's knows. "I'm new here." There you go.

"Nice to meet you Demetri, welcome to Beacon Hills." She saw another guy walked towards them. He hands her back her board.

"Well well, the names Isaiah." The guy shook hands with Juliet. His hands were icy cold, pale skin and he had light honey eyes. "What happened here?" He touched her bandaged arm.

"It's a scratch." She covered her arm with her hand.

"Don't mind him." Demetri pushed his brother away.

"You guys family?" She asked.

"Yes we are." They smiled. She nodded her head. "Brothers."

"Once again, I'm sorry." Juliet walked away, giving them a little smile and a awkward nod and went inside the school. She saw Stiles walk besides her, now standing next to her locker.

"Let me see it." She showed him the bandage. Some blood peaked through.

"It was a wolf or something. Scott said last night, same thing happened to him happened to me."

"There are no wolves in California, Juliet." She opened her locker and started grabbing the textbooks she needed.

"Well there is now. And I was bit from it. Stiles I'm telling you as a friend and because I love you, your fly is down." He looked up and down and then he zipped it up. She closes her locker.

"There's the new kids." He pointed out. It was the Hastings. "They moved here because of the death of their parents or something." The two friends stares back at them.

"You know them?" She leaned against the lockers, not taking her eyes off of the two. Who were they?

"All I know that they are brothers, they own a club, and the older brother, Demetri is a looking at you. Meaning he wants you."

"Come on." She pushed him in front of me. That had to be stupid. As they walked, Demetri, Isaiah looked at Stiles and Juliet. She swore that their eyes were red or something. It could be that concussion. Her mind is playing tricks.

"As you all know, there indeed was a body found in the woods last night." she pulled out her notebook and listen to her English teacher speak. She sat behind Stiles and next to Demetri. "And I am sure your eager little minds are coming up with the various macabre scenarios as to what happened. But I am here to tell you that the police have a suspect in custody." She looked at Stiles. They had this kind of bond where it almost was like they can telepathically talk to each other s minds. Did they really have a suspect? Was it they guy who attacked the McCall twins?

"Nope." He shooked his head no.

"Which means you can give your undivided attention to the syllabus which is on your desk outlining this semester." All of the students groan. She closed her eyes as she heard loud voices. What the hell is going on? She heard a pen drop on the floor and Stiles tapping his fingers. Why could she everything?

"Make it stop." She whispered to herself, covering her ears.

"Ms. McCall, are you alright?" She opened her eyes, slowly taking her hands off her ears. Everyone looked at her. She just nodded.

"Just a headache." She smiled and looked down with embarrassment. The door opens and a girl walked in. She looks so pretty.

"Class, this is our new student, Allison Argent." She looked so sweet and innocent. "Please do your best to make her feel welcome." Juliet saw Scott already looking at her. Does her big brother already like her? she hasn't been here for even 5 minutes and he's already drooling.

"We'll begin with Kafka's Metamorphosis, on page 133." She pulled out her book and knocked over her binder. She looked to go and get it, but Demetri had already caught it.

"Thanks." She smiled.

"No problem." He smiled back.





Juliet went to her locker and met Scott next to it. She puts her stuff in it and closed it, leaning against them, crossing her arm, starting a conversation with her brother.

"Don't you think the Hastings are a little weird?" She asked him. All day they had been everywhere. Mostly Isaiah. Everywhere she was, there they were. At this point, it was getting creepy.

"Huh." She looked at him, he saw him looking at Allison.

"You like Allison Argent?"

"Huh." He looked at her. "Wait, no. Maybe." She smiled. How adorable, Scotts in love.

"Can someone tell me how Allison is here and already friends with Lydia?"

"Because she's hot." I rolled my eyes at Stiles as he walks into the conversation. "Beautiful people herd together."

"Yeah okay Stilinski."

"Come on Jul, thats why you hang out with me." She blushed and gently pushed Stiles as she head to her next class.



Juliet went to put on her lacrosse gear in the girls locker room and headed out, waiting for Scott and Stiles out by the benches.

"You play lacrosse?" She saw Isaiah walking up to me. "I thought you were more like a cheerleader." He squints at the sky.

"Cheering here in Beacon Hills is a joke." She laughed. "You should see us play."

"Okay." He smiled. He sat down on the bench and Demetri followed. Demetri won't stop looking at her. Why? What is wrong?

"You love me right?" Stiles said. Here we go.

"Friendship-wise, yes." She rise her eyebrow. "You need something, don't you Stilinski?"

"Please don't play, let's sit on bench together, like to old days."

"Sorry Stiles, this is my year to shine." She grabbed her stick and went in line to throw. "Scott?" she saw him go in goalie. "Oh no." this wasn't going to end up good. The whistle blew the loud noise made her covered her ears. It's was so loud. It felt like it was right there in her ear.

"Girl McCall! You go first!" Coach yelled. She picked up the ball and ran. Juliet threw it and the ball hit Scott. She covered my mouth.

"Scott I'm sorry!" She yelled at him.

"Hey, way to catch with your face, McCall!" She heard Greenburg say. Juliet went to sit next to Stiles. She took off her helmet and saw Scott catching every ball that was thrown. Thats not like him. He cant do that. He cant even catch an apple whenever she tosses it to him. Everyone cheered on Scott, including her. It was Jackson's turn. Both Stiles and Juliet chewed on their gloves. This wasn't going to be good. Jackson is the team captain, which means hes good snd he will destroy Scott.

"Oh god." She saw Jackson run and throw the ball. Juliet and Stiles jumped in the air as Scott catch it. "That's my brother!"

"That's my friend!" Stiles yelled as he latched onto Juliet, celebrating his best friends catch.





Stiles, Scott and Juliet are in the woods looking for Scotts inhaler. He had to loose it here in the woods. Juliet kicked the leaves as she walked, trying to calm her nerves from all the birds chirping and hearts thumping. Why did she hear everything? Early in econ, she heard Samantha's talking about her date with Chris last night and she wasn't even in the class, she was in the library.

"I don't know what it was. It was like I had all the time in the world to catch that ball. And that's not the only weird thing. I can hear stuff I should be able to hear. Smell things." She stopped Scott.

"You too? I hear and smell things too!" She wasn't the only one who was going through it.

"Smells thing? Like what?" Stiles asked.

"Like Ming Mojito gum in your pocket." Scott and Juliet said at the same time. Stiles looked for it and showed them.

"I Don't have any Mint Mojito..." It's was the gum. They shrug their shoulders and walked more. "So all this started with the bite?"

"I guess." She said.

"What if it's like an infection, like our body's flooding with adrenaline before we go into shock or something?" Her eyes widen and she gulped. She don't want to go into shock. She cant die. She hasn't fully lived yet!

"You know what? I actually think I've heard of this. It's a specific kind of infection."

"Tell me!" She begged Stiles.

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah. Yeah, I think it's called lycanthropy." She rolled my eyes. Really Lycanthropy. She knew that he was teasing them.

"What's that? Is that bad?" Scott asked.

"Scott, Stiles is trying to-" Stiles puts his finger on Juliets lips to stop her from saying it.

"Shh Juliet. Oh, yeah, it's the worst. But only once a month."

"Once a month?"

"Scott he's-" Stiles puts his hand on her mouth.

"Mm-hmm. On the night of the full moon." And then he howls.

"I hate you so much."

"But you love me." Juliet rolled her eyes. Scott pushed Stiles and they walked away. "Hey, man...hey you guys are the ones who heard a wolf howling."

"It's not funny Stiles!" She yelled at him.

"Hey, there could be something seriously wrong with us."

"I know! You guys are werewolves!" Stiles growls again. Why she am still friends with him? Oh yeah, because she wouldn't be Juliet without him. "Okay, obviously I'm kidding. But if you see me in shop class trying to melt silver I can find, it's because Friday's a full moon."

"No, I could have sworn this was it." Scott stopped walking. "Saw the body, the deer came running. I dropped my inhaler." Juliet squatted down to help him look for the inhaler. She brushed off the leaves to see. It could be anywhere.

"Maybe the killer moved the body?" Stiles questioned.

"Now why would the killer do that? A dead body weighs a ton."

"If he did, I hope he left my inhaler. Those things are like 80 bucks." She help Scott and she felt her shirt being pulled. She pulled herself up and saw an older guy in front of her. Juliet was starstruck. She forgot to breathe for a second. That guy was incredibly good looking.

"What are you doing here?" He walked towards them. "Huh? This is private property."

"Sorry, we didn't know." She told him, words slipping out.

"Yeah, we were just looking for something, but... Uh, forget." Scott said and then the guy throw something at him and Scott caught it. The man started to walk away. "Alright, come on, guys. I gotta get to work."

"Dude, that was Derek Hale." Derek Hale? She has never heard of him. "You remember, right? He's only like a few years older thank us." She looked back to see Derek. She saw his black leather jacket disappearing into the woods.

"Remember what?" Scott and Juliet said.

"His family. They all burned to death in a fire, like 10 years ago." It clicked. The Hale Fire. The stories they told when they were kids. They have been told that the Hale House was haunted and some kids would joke around and mess up the place. Just for the fun of it.

"I wonder what he's doing back." They walked away.

"I wonder if he's single." She said.

"What?" Stiles asked.

"Nothing!" She walked into his car.

She went home, changed into her running clothes and went back to the woods for her daily routine. She started walking, warming her legs. Just as Juliet was about to run, she decided to look at her bite. She took off the bandage, and she couldn't believe her eyes.

"What the?" There was nothing there. The bite was gone. No blood, no marks, nothing. "You're not crazy, Juliet." She crumble the bandage in her hand.

Snap!

She stopped in her thoughts. She closed her eyes. Its all in her head. She blames it on the concussion that she did not have. "Hello!" She said. She regrets what she just did. What if it's the murderer. She felt a breeze go by. Juliet decided it was time to go back home, it was getting late. She started to out run it. She still heard the branches snap. Someone was following her. She kept looking back and she tripped over a branch. She felt something push her against a tree and she screamed as there was a huge pain from her leg, that she just broke.

"I'm sorry Juliet, I need to." She heard a voice say. How did he know her name? "You're going to be more powerful than any Lycan."

"Please don't! Don't kill me!" She cried, kicking her feet, trying to get him off of her. She felt two teeth pierce through her neck. She gasp for air. "Please." She whispered. She saw the person bite it's arm and its blood dropped to her lips and into her mouth. It grabbed my her head and snapped it. The person ran off really fast, leaving her behind. Juliet laid there, alone in the cold.






Scott made it home from work. He just wanted to relax and watch TV. He knocked on the door for Juliet to open it up. He felt too lazy to get his keys out. Nothing. He tried the doorbell. She didn't answer.

"Sleeping like always." He smiled. Scott grabbed his keys and opened the door. "Hey Juliet, I'm home." He went upstairs to her room. "Hey." There's nothing. Her room was empty. She's probably with Stiles or went to work. Thats weird of her. Usually she calls or texts. Scott wonder's around the room. He doesn't usually snoop around but it was tempting. He looks at her desk, her small notebook was open. He looks around the room to see if she was really not there, snd he reads.

Dear Me,
I like someone but I can't say who it is. He makes me feel like Im me. Like he's always there when nobody else is. I like him.


Like who? Scott thought. Like who? Juliet never really spoke about this type of stuff with him, mostly to their mom. He closes the book and went to her nightstand and saw a picture. It was him, their dad, and her smiling. He clenched his jaw and put it back. He hated his dad. He stopped caring for him a few years ago. He hears a ding.

"Well well look what we have here!" He sees her laptop, there's a message.

Come over we have to talk!

It was Stiles. Nothing new there. Probably a Star Wars marathon or something. Scott went to his house and they talked about Juliet and him.
