Pack Mentality







Dear Juliet,
Art has always found a way to speak to my heart and you've been my favorite




Isaiah picked Juliet to go meet his father. The ride there felt awkward because he didn't talk to her since she came in the car. She played with her thumbs and looked out the window.

"The man you're meeting isn't really our father." He spoke as they stopped at a red light. He grips his hands on the wheel.

"Then what is he?"

"The man who turned us into vampires." They drove into the woods where they lived. "My mother knew him, he turned us into vampires because we were dying. I'm the only one that calls him Erik." Isaiah never liked him. When he was dying, he wanted to die in peace but Erik and his mother took that right from him and made him a vampire. He felt guilty in a way that he did the same to Juliet.

"Your mother?"

"She didn't make it." Once Erik turned Isaiah and Demetri, their mothers bite rejected it, causing her to die. He never forgave Erik for her death. They got out of the car and went into the house. She saw Demetri walk down the stairs and greeted me.

"He's this way." Demetri walked her to a room and She saw the man. Demetri and Isaiah came in. The man stood up and looked at her like he saw me before.

"Natalie?" He whispered and walked up to Juliet. "How?" He put his hands on her cheeks. This got creepy. Why did he say, Natalie?

"Erik, it's Juliet." Isaiah spoke. Erik's hands fell down.

"Sorry you look like someone." He sighed. "So you're a hybrid? Vampire and werewolf?"

"Yes." She looked at him stare in her eyes.

"Hybrids have the ability to shapeshift at any time that they desire, compared to that of a normal Werewolf where they are forced to shapeshift only once a month on a full moon." Lovely.

"What about me controlling the smell of blood?"

"It's up to you." He said.

"Father-" Erik pointed his finger at Demetri.

"You make yourself hear the blood rushing. Have you killed someone?" Killed?

"No." He nodded. "Why?"

"Just don't." He smiled. "I knew a hybrid, she died from being hunted. She was the first hybrid ever."

"The first?" I asked. That's so makes me the second one in history.

"Only four things can kill you. Ripping out your heart, dying from a broken heart, decapitation, being killed by your creators." He looked at Isaiah. "I'm sorry, you look like someone." He couldn't help it.

"Natalie, yeah." She slowly backs away. "What happens to me when I turn into a werewolf on a full moon?"

"It'll hurt like hell. You have to control your shift." He smiled. "Remember Juliet, you don't need to drink the blood. The mind is fooling you."

"Then how do I survive?" The boys laughed. Erik silenced them with a look.

"We don't always drink blood. Theres a craving, yes but we don't live on it." He tells her. "All those things people say, sunlight will burn us, we don't see our reflection, we sleep in coffins, its all not true. We live like humans but we just live forever."

"Right." She was going to leave but she turns back. "My friend, Stiles, he's a human, will I hurt him if i do this? Continue with this life?"

"You care about this Stiles?" She nods. "You will do anything?" She nods again. "You love the boy dont you?" Juliets cheeks turned red. She gave it all way with that look. "If you cant control your thirst, he will be your victim." She gulps. She will never do anything to hurt him. The Hastings took her out of the room.

"Need a ride?" She turned to Demetri.

"It's okay, I can walk myself." She sighs.

"Are you sure?"

"Trust me. See you at school." She walked out of the home and started to walk home. It was already morning. As Juliet walked more, a car pulled up.

"Want a ride?" She turned to see Derek Hale pulling over to her.

"I'm fine. I can walk." She continued to walk. He slowly followed.

"Heading to the school?" She nodded. "It's pretty far from here."

"You don't mind?" She asked him, stopping to look at him.

"Not at all."

"Okay." She gave in. Juliet gets in the car. "Derek Hale, right?"

"Yes." They drove away. "You must be Juliet, Scotts sister."

"I'm afraid so. I'm sorry that you were in jail because of them." She played with her hands. Derek didn't say a word to that. "So, you're a werewolf?" He stopped the car. "Sorry I asked."

"You're a hybrid. Scott told me." Of course he did. Thanks Scott. "You know that vampires and werewolves don't get all."

"I didn't know, I'm learning everything all at once, and it's all too much. Being the second living Hybrid out here is hard since nobody has answers." She lets out. "Is that bad? Is it bad that they can't get along?" Derek looks at her. He thought about who she wasn't like Scott at all. She was different. Juliet is innocent, sweet. They arrived at the school. Juliet got out the car.

"Juliet?" She turned around and walked back to Derek.

"Yeah?"

"If you need a ride, text me." He gave her paper with his number. She smiled and ran into the school. She started to blush but it was a sweet jester, it could mean nothing, But it didn't mean nothing. Derek really liked her. She ran to her locker and grabbed her stuff. She meet with Stiles and Scott.

"Where were you?" Scott asked her.

"At the Hastings." Stiles slapped her head. "Um ow!" She rubs it.

"The Hastings are bad news, Juliet!"

"Well, they are helping me control my thirst for blood." They began to walk.

"You cant be going to them with help, Isaiah is the one that bit you. What makes you trust them?"

"Do you know any other vampires here at Beacon Hills?" Nothing from him. exactly.

"Yeah well the next time you meet up with them, im going." Stiles said to her.

"Will that stop you from hating them?" He didn't say a word. "Fine, you can come. But you are warned about their dad, creepy by the way." She shakes her head.

"Scott had a dream about him killing Allison." She looked at Scott. That's a little weird. She didn't want to know.

"It felt real. It was on the bus when I killed her." She thought it was something else but this was a while new kind of weird.

"Let's take a guess here."

"No, I know. You think it has something to do with me going out with Allison tomorrow. Like I'm gonna lose control and rip her throat out"

"No, of course not." They both looked at Stiles. "Yeah, that's totally it. Hey, it's gonna be fine, alright? Personally, I think you're handling this pretty freaking amazing. You know, it's not like there's a Lycanthropy for beginners class you can take."

"If there is, I need to sign up, no kidding." She said.

"Yeah, not a class, but maybe a teacher." It's Derek. Juliet swears that if Scott goes see Derek, take her with you. She was developed a new crush on the bad boy. Something about him.

"Who, Derek?" Stiles slapped Scott behind his head. "You forgetting the part where we got him tossed in jail?"

"Yeah, I know, but chasing her, dragging her to the back of the bus, it felt so real."

"How real?" She asked.

"Like it actually happened." The walked outside and saw a bus in blood and messed up. She looked away as the scent hit her. Oh no. She felt Stiles' hand on her arm. With his touch, she calmed down. She turned back to see the scene. She closed her eyes and didn't freak out.

"I think it did." She said to Scott.

"She's probably fine!" Stiles told Scott as he was calling Allison if she was okay. They went back inside.

"She's not answering my texts, Stiles." He started to freak out.

"It could just be a coincidence, okay?" Juliet told him. "A amazingly coincidence."

"Just help me find her." Scotts heart was beating really fast. "Do you see her?"

"No." All of the sudden, they lost Scott. she clapped her hands together. "Can you find him?"

"I can try." she closed her eyes and looked for a heartbeat. Juliet couldn't hear anything, there was too much noise. "I can't."

"It's okay." He put his hands on her shoulders.

Attention students, this is your principal. I know you're all wondering about the incident that occurred last night to one of our buses. While the police work to determine what happened, classes will proceed as scheduled. Thank you.

Great. Juliet looked at Stiles. What did she do to deserve him? She couldn't make it without him.

"Let's go to class." They both walked to their class and sat down. Chemistry. Juliets least favorite class out of 8. Isaiah sat next to her and copy down the notes on the board.

"Mr. Stilinski, if that's your idea of a hushed whisper, you might want to pull the headphones out every once in a while." Mr Harris sure told Stiles. She quietly chuckle. "I think you and Mr. McCall would benefit from a little distance, yes?"

"No." Mr Harris pointed to their new seats. Scott is now sitting behind her and in front of Jackson.

"Let me know if the separation anxiety gets to be too much."

"Hey, I think I see something!" A girl from our class yelled out and ran to the window and see. She saw the ambulance taking a body and the body jumped and started screaming. She backed up with Stiles and Scott.

"This is good, this is good," Stiles repeated. "He got up, he's not dead. Dead guys can't do that."

"Stiles... I did that." It was lunch. She grabbed a seat and Stiles sat next to her. She kept looking at the wall, The Hastings were there chatting and looking at her.

"Do you have a thing for one of the Hastings?" she turned to Stiles, snapping out of her thoughts. What kind of question was that?

"No, why?" She frowns.

"You're drooling." She noticed and cleaned herself up. She wasn't thinking about them. She was tired, she would black out, sleep for a bit. "Come on Juliet, them?"

"Why do you care if I like them? I don't like them." Scott sat down and still talked about the dream.

"Something happened last night, and I can't remember what."

"What makes you so sure that Derek even has all the answers?"

"Because during the full moon, he wasn't changed. He was in total control while I was running around in the middle of the night attacking some totally innocent guy."

"You don't know that. Maybe you didn't do it." She told Scott as she took a bite from her apple.

"I don't know. I can't go out with Allison. I have to cancel." She sets down the apple. Cancel the date? Oh no big brother, you left her at a party and now you're going to cancel on a date. Its a big no the girl book. Its a bad sign for Scott. Keep doing this and she will loose interest.

"No, you're not canceling that date, do you hear me?" She yelled at him. "You can't cancel every single thing in life."

"We'll figure it out." She looked up and saw someone sitting next to Scott. It was Lydia. Why is she sitting here? Is she confused?

"Figure what out?" She said. Stiles chuckles and looked at her.

"Ha!" He gasped.

"Just, uh, homework." Then more people came to sit down. Juliet was started to get a little freaked out now. Why was the popular kids sitting here? Hell even Greenberg was there.

"Yeah. Why is she sitting next to us?"Stiles leans to her.

"I don't know." She whispered. Allison came and sat next to Scott. They do make such a cute couple.

"Get up." Jackson said. Jackson is sitting here too. Juliet throws a fake laugh, can't believe he is here. You had to be joking. This better be a joke.

"How come you never ask Danny to get up?"

"Because I don't stare at his girlfriends coin slot." Jackson pushed the guy off the seat. That's it. Juliet had enough, she was going to eat somewhere else. She got up and Stiles grabbed her hand and pushed her down.

"What are you doing!" She yelled at him. "Let me go." They leaned closer together. Allison looked at them. They were close, not even friends get that close.

"You're not leaving me here!" She sighed, plopped the food down, and ate.

"So I hear they're saying it's some type of animal attack," Danny told the table. "Probably a cougar."

"I heard mountain lion."

"A cougar is a mountain lion. Isn't it?" Lydia told Jackson. Juliet rolled her eyes. Juliet loves Lydia, she doesn't mind her sitting here, same to Allison. BUT JACKSON! She was out of ideas here.

"Who cares. The guy's probably some homeless tweaker who's gonna die anyway." His voice made her ears bleed. The passion of hate Juliet had for the guy was insane.

"Actually I just found out who it is." Stiles pulled out his phone. "Check it out."

The sheriffs department won't speculate on details of the incident but confirmed the victim, Garrison Meyers, did survive the attack. Meyers was taken to a local hospital where he remains in critical condition.

Juliet sat back. Garrison Meyers, she knew him. Scott knew him too.

"Me and Juliet know this guy."

"You do?" Allison asked.

"Yeah, when we used to take the bus when we lived with our dad. He was the driver." Scott looked at her and Stiles. Juliet didn't say anything back.

"Can we talk about something slightly more fun, please? Like, oh, where are we going tomorrow night? You said you and Scott were hanging out tomorrow night, right?"

"I'm, we were think of what we were gonna do." Allison said. She's so sweet.

"Well, I am not sitting home again watching lacrosse videos, so if the four of us are hanging out, we are doing something fun!" Lydia comes up. ouch, hanging out,

"Hanging out?" Scott asked and looked at Allison.

"Hey! Why won't Juliet and Stiles come? You are together, right?" Juliet almost choked on her drink. and Stiles couldn't find the words. "You should come! You two are adorable!"

"No, me and Stiles are not dating. Just friends." She smiled. She closed her eyes and looked at Stiles. He looked shocked, broken. Just friends. Is that what she really felt about him, Stiles thought.

"Just friends." He nods, forcing a smile. "Been friends since 1st grade. For a long time, a real long time." He stabs his food. "Friends." he repeats. it broke him.

"Oh! im so sorry! I just thought. You guys are just so close and all." Allison apologized to them.

"It happens, Juliet and I are just that close." Stiles keeps going. "Dont blame you guys."

"Its fine but thanks, I have things to do." Juliet told them, clearing her throat.

"You know what else is fun? Stabbing myself in the face with this fork." Please do Jackson. Juliet would be the happiest person in the world.

"How about bowling? You love to bowl!" Oh no...
