Dear Juliet | S. Stilinski (editing)

Back Home

"They said they'd meet us here." Lydia assumed as me, Scott and Stiles walked in Derek's loft. Memories came flooding in. Ethan and Aidan came behind Scott and started to beat him up. I gasp. They tossed him to the floor and we moved out of the way to see them punch the living crap  out of my brother.

"I thought you guys were gonna teach me to roar." Scott told them.

"We are. You do it by giving in."

"Giving in and letting go. That's how Deucalion taught us control." Ethan had told Scott just after he picked him up.

"Hey, you know, that's funny. I've actually tried something like this one time using a heart monitor and lacrosse balls. But you're right, beating the living crap out of him is probably a lot better." Stiles recommend them. The lovely throw backs I'm having in one day. Beautiful.

"That's actually the plan? You kick my ass?" Scott yelled at them.

"You're afraid to turn."

"We're gonna make you. You turn. Then you kick our asses."

"And then you roar." Ethan roared back at Scott. "You don't think you can let go with us?"

"You think you're going to hurt us?" They started to push my brother around like a little kid in a playground,

"Come on, McCall. Give it your all."

"We can always heal."

"You're an Alpha. You want to roar like one, you've got to give in full throttle. You've got to be the monster. Become the beast." Scott tried to fight back but they kept pushing him.

"Become everything you're afraid of. That's what gives you power. It gives you strength."

"Giving into it doesn't make you the bad guy."

"So long as you can control it."

"Sometimes control's a little overrated." Aiden kicked Scott.

"Come on, Scott. Fight back." I heard Stiles whisper.

"What if I can't control it? What if I can't turn back?" Scott coughed up.

"Then it takes over. You become Malia. You get further and further away from being human. You turn into an animal. Or worse."

"You turn into Peter." I backed up. I had the monster come back. I closed my eyes. Oh no. That's gonna happen to me. Aiden had took it to far from beating up Scott. I stepped in and grabbed his arm and roared at him. He kneeled down.

"What? I thought we were helping him." He told me,

"You help too much." I growled at him. We got closer to Scott. He spit out blood. Once we got home, I helped him get cleaned up. "I lost it, you should've hit Aiden so hard-"

"Don't worry about it." Scott said as I dab his lip with a cloth. "I saw you, you snapped when Aiden said you'll turn into Peter. What was that about?"

"Nothing." I got up and cleaned myself off.

"Don't lie." I sighed.

"I keep seeing myself in this horrible monster. Just like Peter. I'm scared to turn into that." I sat next to him. "I don't want to turn into that." I cried.

Since Demetri and Isaiah are now in the pack, thanks to Scott.  We all met up so we can find Malia.

"Anyone else think we might be doing more harm than good?" Isaiah asked as he leaned against his car.

"We're trying to keep a father from killing his own daughter." I warned him.

"Actually, we're trying to keep a guy from killing a coyote who is actually his daughter, who we don't know how to change from a coyote back to his daughter." Isaac addressed. I rolled my eyes,

"And again with the not helping." Stiles shook his head.

"Did you bring it?" Scott asked Allison. She went to her trunk and pulled out the tranquilizer gun. We heard gunshots. We all ran different places to guess where the gunshots have been fired. Demetri, Isaiah and I went our own way to look.

"What if she's hot?" Isaiah smiles. I growled at him. "Chill." I walked even more.

"Listen to me, I'm done with your-" I stepped on something that clicked. I screamed as it crushed my ankle. I heard another scream, it was from Isaac.

"Oh god." Demetri looked my ankle.

"It hurts!" I tried to pull it off of me. Demetri and Isaiah was looking for a way to find to release it. It was crushing me. I roared so loud that birds flew away from their trees.

"Don't move!" Isaiah yelled at me.

"Sure! Why not! Why won't I run a marathon with this on my ankle!" I sarcastically said to him.

"Oh shut up!"

"Both of you stop! Now!" Demetri yelled at us both. I tried to separate the trap, I heard Scott roared and it made me feel powerful and I screamed as I ripped it off of me. Demetri helped me up.

"Blood is a good piece of my outfit." I looked down. "Shorts and a nice bloody anklet." I laughed. Scott brought back Malia in her naked, human form. Isaiah mouth drop. Stiles saw me and ran to me.

"Are you okay! What happened?!" He grabbed my hands and looked at my ankle.

"I'm okay."

"And water is wet." I moved my ankle to show him.

"It's healed." Later on, we brought Malia back to her dad. It was happy day for us all.
