Chapter 8

JULIE'S POV

Stiles and I arrive at our home. We hop out of the car and walk onto the porch. I begin to hear a howl far off into the woods. Can't Theo just go to bed? It's almost midnight! I groan as I look towards the woods.

"Theo?" I hear Stiles ask.

"Yeah," I reply with a nod.

He walks away from the door and over to me. His cologne fills my nose. "What do you think he wants?"

I take a deep breath. "I have no idea and I really don't want to deal with him right now." I say walking inside. I'm too tried to run out into the woods and talk to you for five seconds, Theo! Way too tired.

Im outside in an unfamiliar area. It's dark and reeks of garbage. Where am I and how did I get here? I was just with Mindy in P.E. and now I'm here. Oh no! Did I black out? Did I hurt someone? I walk further down the dark area hoping to find light at the end, but I can't see anything. Julie, you're a werewolf, use your sight! I shut my eyes and open them revealing garbage bags and trash cans. I see brick on each side of me knowing I'm in an alley...but why?

I continue walking when I hear rustling behind me. I turn my head looking for who or what made the sound. I was expecting to see a rat or a cat but nothing was there. I then hear a trash can fall over in the other direction but nothing was there either.

I hear a howl and turn in its direction. I begin to run not knowing what I was to see at the other end. I run faster and faster when I come to a halt. There in front of me is Stiles, Scott, Mindy, Lydia, and Liam laying on the cold concrete floor. There are deep scratches on their necks, arms, and stomachs. Blood oozes out of them causing the thick liquid to cover the ground. The blood makes its way to my feet surrounding me. Tears roll down my cheeks as my body begins to shake.

Where am I? What is happening? I then see Theo appear behind them. Blood covers his hands. He did this! I feel my temperature rise and my heart rate quicken. Tears are pouring down my face as I walk closer to him. Then claws come out from behind him. They dig into his throat causing blood to shoot out at me. I wipe my face seeing that his blood was now on my hands. My eyes follow his now limp body, as it falls at my feet. I shake in fear as I see that I now stand on top of my friends. Slowly I study my surroundings to find a broken mirror. I look at it to see my reflection. My canines are longer and my eyes are glowing blue. I stumble backwards as I see myself covered in blood. The blood of my friends, my family. It's on my face, my neck, my arms, and on my hands. I killed my friends I killed them all. I scream, but a roar takes its place. A roar of satisfaction.

A scream escapes my lips as I shoot into an up right position. My breathing is unsteady and my vision is blurry. I hear my name being called as someone shakes me. I blink a few times to see Stiles room surrounding me.

"Julie," I hear him say clearly causing me to look in his direction. "Julie, are you alright?" He looks at me as fear runs through him. I don't reply. The image of my friends laying at my feet repeats in my mind. I see the pain in Theo's eyes as I took his life. He could be in danger every time I ignore him. Maybe he is in danger. I'm so sorry, Theo.

I begin putting on boots and grab a light jacket. "Where are you going?" Stiles asks.

"I need to find Theo," I say putting my hair up.

"What? Why?"

I grab my phone and go to place it in my pants pocket only to realize I'm wearing my stripped pajama bottoms. I shrug as I place it in my jacket. "I think he's in trouble."
