xvi; do you remember?

      WHEN JULIETTE WOKE UP, it didn't take long for her to find out she was in Allison Argent's room. When she rolled to the other side, she caught sight of the pictures by the nightstand of the Argent family. The picture was folded perfectly to crop the figure on the far left side, and taken by curiosity, Juliette unfolded it to see who she assumed to be Kate Argent. Juliette had been in Eichen at the time of Kate Argent's death, but grew to knew the story of the sociopathic aunt of Allison's.

"Your hands are steady, you balance well, I think you'll work well with knives."

It was two in the afternoon now, the sun out and its rays hitting Juliette's honey brown eyes. Juliette has spent two hours being cajoled by both Scott and Allison to learn at least the basics of self defence. First, she learned how to both load and shoot a gun, which took a maximum of an hour, but would've been less if it wasn't for Isaac constant worrying.

"Not exactly my first time working with them." Juliette murmured, spinning the the chinese ring dagger on her index finger.

Allison took out another set of daggers; a trench knife. "Keep these attached to you at all times, okay?" She said as she attached the case of the dagger inside Juliette's skirt, so it wouldn't show. "Make sure they don't show, and if they do, take the chinese ring daggers instead; they're smaller, easier to hide, but just as affective. Alright?"

Juliette nodded, adjusting the skirt and top she borrowed from Allison. When she first woke up, there wasn't exactly time for her to go back to her neighbourhood and get a change of clothes, so Allison offered to give her an outfit. There was still hints of glitter and neon paint on Juliette's face from the other night, that might not have been washed out properly. "When do I level up to sword level?" Juliette asked in all seriousness, but judging by the expressions on their face, she knew they thought she was joking. "What? They're cooler."

   "You know the plan, right?"

"Fake a business proposition with Katashi's men, offer the money, distract the men until your dad finds Katashi, get him to talk." Isaac says, breathing in heavily. "And we finally find out what those demon ninjas are, and what the hell they want from us."

Scott walked in through the door, which caused Juliette to jump off her seat in anticipation for good news. "Where's Stiles?"

"Do you still..." Scott closed the door behind him. "Do you still not remember what you wanted to tell us last night?"

Juliette shook her head, the hopefulness leaving her chest. "Juliette, can you tell us anything you remember?" Allison asked softly. "We were all there yesterday, maybe we could fill in some of the blanks for you."

"I remember..." Juliette struggled to recall. "Seeing him talk to a girl— Caitlin, she used to date my sister so I pulled him away because–" Looking around at the three people in the room, she realised they probably didn't care what excuses she had to make to cover up her own jealousy. "Anyway, then I remember kissing him. That's it."
