The road to recovery

Chapter 23

"Where are we going?" Stiles asks as Klaus drags him through the forest.

"Shh." Klaus hushes him.

As Stiles and Klaus continue walking Stiles can hear voices in the distance and see what looks to be rings off fire.

"My duty is to Klaus! The new order." Greta yells just before Klaus and Stiles make it through the tree line.

"Glad to know I still have a dance partner." Klaus jokes as he stops walking. He turns to look at the 3 women standing or hunched over in rings of fire. "Hello, my lovelies. Are we ready?"

"Jules?" Stiles mutters in surprise.

"You know the wolf, Little Demon?" Klaus asks.

"Hardly." Stiles answers.

Klaus looks Stiles in the eyes before nodding his head and dragging Stiles over to Greta. He pulls the moonstone out of his pocket and presents it to Greta.

"I've got the moonstone. I spent 500 years looking for this. I hate to part with it." Klaus looks reluctant to hand it over but does so anyway. "And here is the Little Demon." Klaus says before pushing Stiles over towards Greta.

"Hi." Stiles speaks to Greta. He is feeling a little high from feeding so much today.

"Hello." Greta greets back, smirking. "The moon has passed its apex. Remember everything you need to do?"

"I remember." Klaus states.

Greta proceeds to drop the moonstone into a stone bowl that is filled with flames, while keeping her other hand entwined with Stiles. Sparks suddenly fly from the stone bowl as the moonstone breaks apart into nothing.

Stiles immediately feels as if something is slowly being drawn out of him.

Greta starts chanting in Latin, while Klaus approaches the rings of fire. Jules is lying on the floor and moaning in pain.

"Everything I did...I was trying to help Tyler." Jules pants out, making Stiles scoff.

"Are you Jules?" Elena asks.

"I didn't want him to be alone!" Jules yells out in pain, making Stiles feel angry. Tyler wasn't alone...he was never alone.

Klaus is now standing in front of Jules' circle, staring down at her.

"Shall we?" Klaus asks.

The ring of fire around Jules disappears when Greta waves her free hand at it.

Stiles watches as Jules eyes turn yellow and she uses her werewolf speed to rush towards Klaus.

Klaus dodges Jules' attempt pushes her to the ground and plunges his hand into her chest and rips her heart out.

Stiles can see Jules' face from where he is standing, and he can't help but feel bad for her as she takes her last breath with tears streaming down her cheeks.

Klaus walks over to Stiles and Greta with the stone bowl in front of them. He holds Jules' heart over it before squeezing the remaining blood left in the heart into the bowl.

Stiles lets out a breathy groan of pain as he feels a sharp pulling and an emptiness in his gut.

"Does that mean it's working?" Klaus asks Greta as he watches Stiles slightly hunch over.

"It's working." Greta promises.

Stiles stands back up again and watches as Klaus walks over to Jenna's ring of fire.

"Hello, Jenna."

"Let her go. I understand that I have to die, but she doesn't!" Elena protests, whilst walking closer to the flames making them flare up in response.
