When Jewel was walking to her room, she paused seeing a curled up Allsion. She entered the room and crouched in front of her.
"Hey, you okay?"
Allison looked up and Jewel frowned seeing her cry
"Why are you crying? Who's ass do I have to kick?" Jewel asked
"Can you answer some of my question?" she asked, wiping her tears
"Okay"
"I want honest answers"
Jewel nodded
"Are werewolves real?"
Jewel was taken aback by this question, but she had promised to answer honestly.
"You are asking a witch that whether werewolves are real?" she chuckled "Of course they are real"
"Does this place has werewolves?"
Why was Allison asking questions about werewolves all of a sudden?
Jewel nodded
"Was it a werewolf which had trapped us in the school?"
Jewel again nodded, hesitatingly.
"Did you know that Derek Hale was a werewolf?"
Jewel was shocked. How the hell did her sister find out about Derek being a werewolf?
Jewel nodded again, too shocked to say anything.
"What do we have to do with them?"
She knew Chris would kill her for this, but she'll manage.
"Remember that the Beast of gevaudan was killed by an Argent?" Allison nodded "It was a werewolf. Not any local beast. Our family hunts them. We kill the rogue werewolves which cause havoc and harm and kill people mercilessly. We hunt those who hunt us"
Allison nodded, wiping her tears
"Now answer my questions" jewel demanded "Why did you ask about them?"
"Kate showed me our little family secret. She showed me Derek. He was like an animal. He had these fangs, hair on his face and his eyes glowed blue. And Kate was electrocuting him. Demanding answers from him. She wanted to help me feel strong. She wanted me to know. Why didn't you tell me anything? Or dad? Or anyone? Don't you care about me? Don't I deserve to know this?"
"Lisa, look, this supernatural part of the world, it is not for you"
"and it is for you?" she scoffed
"I was born into it. I didn't ask to be a witch. I was born like this. I'm a part of supernatural. Lisa, remember that night at school? I fought the alpha, to keep you safe. It was an advantage that you didn't knew"
"I would have helped you if I knew!" she snapped
"And get bitten by the alpha?" jewel snapped harshly. Allison was taken aback by the way the conversation had turned an jewel's tone
"I was bitten by him. Was nearly killed. Be happy that I can heal fast. But can you? The alpha's bite would have turned you into one of them. And you don't wanna know what our code punishes for that" Jewel snapped "And this was the reason we all hid it from you. you are in a trauma by just watching Kate torture Derek. How will you manage killing any?"and she stormed out of the room
Jewel curled in the corner of her room, lost in her own world. She had to leave for school, but she didn't feel like going.
She felt guilty for snapping at her sister like that. it wasn't Lisa who she was angry with but Kate. she had warned kate not to introduce Allison to the werewolf business yet. but that woman is so out of her mind. Allison hadn't spoken to her ever since their argument. it was for the first time ever since, they had maintained some distance voluntarily.
Suddenly she felt some one wrap their arms around her
"What happened?" Dray quietly asked
Without lifting her head, jewel told him everything.
"You need to give her a break okay? She's new to all of this. She's young, a kid at heart. Of course she thinks of it asa adventure land. But you and I, we both know what this actually is. She'll come around"
"You think so?"
Dray lifted her head and wiped her tears
"I know so" he kissed her forehead
"What's wrong?" Lydia asked as she and Allison waled into the mall
"Nothing's wrong, I just - I have a lot on my mind." Allison admitted
"Is it something about Jewel? Because ever since I met you two, you have always stuck together" Lydia asked "Like a buy 1 get 1 offer. and right now, she's nowhere to be seen"
"I had an argueent with her which didn't go very well"
Lydia took out her phone and called Jewel
"Where are you?"
"I'm not in mood Lydia. I'll shop for the dress some other day"
"Well the winter formal happen to be tomorrow. So get your ass here right now before I make you try like the whole mall"
"You won't leave me, would you?"
"Nope"
"I'm on my way" and she hung up. Lydia turned to Allison with a smirk
"You could smile, at least. Ever heard of the saying, "Never frown. Someone could be falling in love with your smile"? Smile, Allison. I'm buying you a dress."
"Have to admit as far as apologies go, that's more than I expected." Allison smiled
"Excellent."
"But not as much as I'm going to ask."
"What? What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means you're going to cancel on whatever dumb, roided - up jock you said yes to and you're going to go with somebody else."
"Who?"
"Him." Allison looked and Lydia followed her gaze. She saw Stiles, who was sneezing uncontrollably after he accidentally sprayed perfume on himself. Seeing the girls, he stopped and waved with a sheepish smile
"Don't frown, Lydia. Someone could be falling in love with your smile." Allison chuckled.
Lydia walked across the aisles, picking up dresses and tossing them to Stiles who was running after holding all the dresses, complaining. Just then Lydia stopped and Stiles was just inches away from stumbling into her
"Oh my god Jewel" Lydia rushed to her
"Are you okay?" Lydia asked
Jewel nodded
"Stop lying. You are not. Just look at yourself" Lydia led her to the nearest changing room to show her reflection. She looked horrible. But she had been was pretty upset so didn't spent much time on her clothing. her hair was in a messy ponytail and she supported dark circles
"What happened?"
"It's just nothing. Excuse me" and she walked into the washroom
"What's with her?" Stiles asked, shocked. They both heard a clatter and saw Allison looking at them, worried and shocked. She rushed to the washroom to find Jewel. She entered and found Jewel in front of the mirror, cleaning her face
"I'm sorry" she breathed
"you don't have to be" Jewel deadpanned, combing her loose hair with her fingers
"Was it all because o the fight? I shouldn't have said all that. I've been mean, I know. I just…I'm sorry"
"The way you snapped, demanded answers, it was the reason we hid it from you. You were not ready. You still aren't" she said and walked out. She looked through some costly dresses once Lydia promised to buy her one.
"I think this one will suit you"
She looked up and saw the person she least wanted to see. He was holding an emerald green dress.
"This will bring out your eyes, don't you think?" he smiled at her. He held her hand and handed it to her
"I want you to be looking very beautiful the next time we meet, the daughter of Argents." He smiled and vanished.
Jewel quickly took out her phone and dialed
"Dad. I found the alpha"
"Attention shoppers. To the owner of a blue Mazda, license plate –"
The announcement distracted her and she rushed out, smelling Scott on the way
"Thanks Scott" she smiled and walked out.
As soon as she reached home, Chris and Kate cornered her.
"What did you find out about the alpha?" Chris asked
"It's Peter Hale. Derek's Uncle" she answered "He said that the next time he meets me, he wants me to dress beautifully"
Chris let out a small growl but nodded
"Do you know who the second beta is?" Kate asked
"I have my suspicions" she answered
Kate took a deep breath "Did you knew that Scott was the beta?"
"What?" Chris barked
Jewel nodded
"I was suspicious. First I thought it was Jackson because wherever I found the wolf scent, he was there or had been. But mostly I ignored Scott's presence."
"So you knew?" Chris demanded
"I had my suspicions, like I said. I just wanted to confirm that he was the one so that you don't end up killing an innocent 16 year old"
"So he is the one?" Chris asked
Jewel nodded "Scott is the second beta"
"You ready?" Dray entered Jewel's room.
"Almost" she answered "can you.." she asked, struggling with the zipper
Dray smiled and pulled it up
"You look gorgeous" Dray comfortingly squeezed her shoulders. Jewel gave him a small smile. She was dressed in the same strapless green dress Peter had picked. With it she wore beige thigh length booth with heels and a beige blazer. She had done a little more than minimal makeup and her hair was straightened and bangs away with a green clip.
Dray drove himself and Jewel to the school just the moment Allison got out with Jackson.
"Shall we?" Dray lent his hand. Jewel took it with a smile and they walked in
Jewel looked around as she and Dray waltzed. She spotted Stiles asking Lydia to dance with him, Allison and Jackson in not so good company of each others. She sighed
"Is everything okay?" Dray asked
"They found out about Scott" she sighed
"They had to eventually" Dray said
"I could have hid it longer. Maybe erased their memories or something"
"Jewel, you cannot always protect everyone. Scott had to face this one day. The sooner the better. It'll just prepare him for upcoming challenges"
Before Jewel could answer, she heard Finstock's yell
"McCall! I see you! Come here, buddy. Come here. McCall! Get outta my way! McCall! It's a small gym, buddy. I'm gonna find you. I gotcha, McCall! Come here, come here! Get outta my way! McCall!"
"Look's like someone crashed the winter formal" Dray chuckled but Jewel didn't laugh. He looked at her and frowned then smiled "I know just what you need"
He took two glasses of drinks from a waiter and gave one to jewel.
"The drinks are spiked, you know" she informed, eyeing the drink in her hand
"I know. Cheers" he touched his glass with Jewel's. "Bottoms up" and drank it in one gulp. Jewel, after another second of thought, gulped it in. She took another glass and finished it. Then one more. Another one.
"Jewel. It's getting worse. You need to stop" Dray warned
"Just one more. Please" she slurred
"No. not anymore" he held her hand and guided her out
"Where are we going?" she demanded, giggling insanely
"To make you sober" Dray said and guided her out. He looked around but found neither Allison or anyone else. He led her outside and made her sit on one of the benches.
"You know, Dray, I'm not like this" she said
"I know"
"I love him"
"I know. I know you love Ce-"
"I love Derek"
"What?"
"Deaton says that he has the potential to be my second mate."
Dray rushed to her side "What else he said?"
"He says…he says…"
"He says?"
"That I'm breaking laws by helping a werewofe"
Dray sighed
"Dray, is it werewuf or werewofe?"
He took her purse as she mumbled to herself and was about to dial Chris when the phone rang as Chris called
"Jewel, where are you? We are at school"
"It's Dray" Dray said
"where's Jewel?"
"She got drunk. A little too much" Dray sheepishly said
"I'm coming to pick her up"
Soon a red SUV parked in front of them and Dray helped Jewel into the car. He saw a shocked Allison who was nearly crying, but decided to focus on Jewel for now.
"why the hell did she get drunk?" Chris demanded "She never drinks"
"I might have forced her for one glass. After that she kept on drinking until I stopped her"
Chris sighed "There's some coffee in the back. Try to make her sober"
Dray nodded and took out two cans of coffee and heated it with magic and handed it to jewel, who drank it almost immediately.
"Is she okay?" Allison asked after a while
"She'll be fine"
Jewel made a disgusting face but Dray kept on compelling her to drink coffee.
"the hangover sucks" Jewel groaned after a while "You got some more coffee, Dray? I'm having a killer headache"
Dray nodded and handed her another.
"You okay jewel?" Chris asked
"Almost" she nodded "I'm never drinking again"
"Where are we going?" she asked
"home" Chris answered
"Jewel" Dray whispered "Lisa knows about Scott"
Jewel's eyes widened before softening
"Lisa, you okay?"
Alison shook her head "You knew about Scott being a werewolf, didn't you?" jewel nodded. Allison sighed and looked away.
"Feeling better?" Kate smirked. Chris picked up a vase and threw it. It hit the mantle an shattered into pieces.
"You need anything else, sweetie?" Victoria asked
"Another mug of coffee would be great" Jewel said, rubbing her forehead
"Don't push me, Kate!" Chris groaned
"I thought it was a pretty healthy display of aggression, actually." Kate calmly said
" You told her." Jewel growled
"She found out."
"Don't think I don't know about the clues that you've been leaving, starting with that necklace. She knows because you wanted her to." Chris accused picking up the pieces of the broken vase
"Because she needs to." Kate answered
"No she doesn't. I already warned you Kate. This thing isn't an amusement park. Lives are lost. Now that she knows, Lisa is in constant danger"
"Why are you back here? You hate this town. I had a network of names I could've called a lot closer than you. But you called first." Chris demanded
"So now you don't want my help?" Kate asked
"No" Jewel answered
"I'm not sure I know who you're helping." Chris said
"Oh, come on. I'm here to catch the Alpha. Remember the one running around here, killing people at random?" Kate smirked
"Not random." Jewel mention
"What?"
"Tyhurst said that Sheriff Stilinski can connect every murder back to the Hale fire." Chris informed
"Stiles called me for the same" she added
"Well, then that's even more reason for her to know, 'cause they've always blamed us for that fire. It is Derek and Peter Hale. But I guarantee they're circling around to us as their last targets." Kate said
"I know. It's why you're taking Allison out of here tonight. You're gonna drive her to the house in Washington, and you will stay there until I call."
"Are you kidding me? You're gonna bench your star player in the last quarter?" Kate asked, standing up
"Get your things. I want the two of you on the road within the hour." Chris commanded and Kate stormed off muttering things to herself. Jewel slumped on the couch, looking unfocused and guilty
"I don't want any more harm on you Jewel" Chris calmly said
"Dad, I cannot be more harmed. I heal fast. I can help you" Jewel retorted
"I know. That's why you are going to help me find Peter Hale" Chris squeezed her shoulder
"I'm sorry for not telling you earlier. I just wanted to make sure that Scott was not behind any of these murders. I don't want blood of another innocent on my hands" jewel hugged him tight, crying
Chris patted her back soothingly "I know." He pulled and wiped her tears, cupping her face "I want you to take care of Allison if anything happened to me. Okay?"
Jewel nodded and closed her eyes as Chris kissed her forehead.
"Now go and change"
Jewel removed her formal dress and put on dark blue jeans, a black tank top and a black leather jacket with black boots. She tied her hair into a high ponytail. She strapped her invisible wand holster under her jacket and attached her wand to it. donning all her regular weapons, she stpped out of the room.
"You know you can't do this without me. You're not gonna find him on your own." Kate remarked as she entered Chris's office. Chris was preparing himself.
"I'm not invisible, you know" Jewel chimed entering
"We're gonna talk about everything, I promise. Call me when you get there." Chris said
"Is she right? Can you find the Alpha?" Victoria asked
"No. But Scott McCall can. And we know how to find him." He smirked at Jewel who smirked back
Chris drove to the hospital with Jewel by his side.
"Jewel, just answer me one thing" Chris asked
Jewel nodded
"Is Scott McCall innocent?"
"Yes. He didn't kill a single person"
Her phone beeped
"It's Lisa" she informed "Lydia was attacked by a werewolf in the school. She's in the hospital. And there's police"
"So that's where we are going"
Chris pulled at the hospital and Jewel rushed in
"Sheriff" she walked to him
"Are you okay, Jewel?"
"How's Lydia?"
"Doctor's said that she'll be fine. But her body get on going into shock. As if having an allergic reaction" Sheriff informed her
Jewel nodded and Sheriff excused himself regarding a call
Peter was so going to pay for this
"Hey, where are you going?" Jackson asked as he rushed behind Stiles
" To find Scott."
"You don't have a car."
"I'm aware of that. Thank you."
" Here, I'll drive. Come on –" he stopped and groaned at the look Stiles gave him
"Look, just because you feel guilty all of a sudden doesn't make it okay, all right? Half of this is still your fault."
"Look, I have a car. You don't. Do you want my help or not?"
"All right" Stiles nodded "Did you bring the Porsche?"
" Yeah."
" Good. I'll drive."
As they both turned to walk , they froze when they saw Chris Argent and few of his hunters behind him.
" Boys. I was wondering if you can tell me where Scott McCall is." Chris asked
"Scott McCall? Uhm, haven't seen him since the dance." Stiles answered
"Jackson, you?" Chris asked
"I –" he stammered
"tsk tsk tsk"
They both turned and saw Jewel behind them
"How many times have I told you Stiles not speak aloud. People might get to know your dirty secrets. And my! Are those your hearts. Because they are beating like drums" she smirked
"Oh, for the love of God." Stiles gasped when Chris pushed him against the wall, twisting his hand
"Let's try this again. Where is Scott McCall?" Chris asked still no answer
"Stiles please don't make me take my Dad's place. Because that will really suck" Jewel said holding Jackson by twisting his arm behind his back.
"You have a tough grip for a girl" Jackson said. Jewel twisted his arm more making him grunt in pain
"no one asked your opinion Jack"
"Let me ask you a question, Stiles. Have you ever seen a rabid dog?" Chris asked
"No. I could put it on my to - do - list, if you just let me go." Stiles answered
"Well, I have." He chuckled "And the only thing I've ever been able to compare it to is seeing a friend of mine turn on a full moon. Do you wanna know what happened?"
"Not really. No offense to your storytelling skills."
"He tried to kill me, and I was forced to put a bullet in his head. The whole while that he lay there dying, he was still trying to claw his way toward me, still trying to kill me, like it was the most important thing he could do with his last breath. Can you imagine that?"
"No. And it sounds like you need to be a little bit more select –"
"Did Scott try to kill you on the full moon? Did you have to lock him up?" Chris asked
"Yeah, I did. I had to handcuff him to a radiator. Why? Would you prefer I locked him in the basement and burned the whole house down around him?" Stiles asked
"I hate to dispel a popular rumor, Stiles, but we never did that." Chris said
"Oh, right. Derek said you guys had a code. I guess no one ever breaks it." Stiles said
"Never." Both Jewel and Chris answered together
"What if someone does?" Stiles asked
" Someone like who?" Chris demanded
"Can't you think of someone?" he asked, looking at Jewel.
"Kate" Jewel gasped losening Jackson's grip
"Bingo" Stiles shrugged
"Kate's not picking up" Jewel complained "Neither is Lisa"
"Can you track them?" Chris asked, changing the gear
"I think" she said and muttered a spell
"I found them. They are at the…" Jewel paused "Hale house" she narrowed her eyes Chris drove quickly to the spot and once they reached heir, both father daughter duo ran to the spot to see Scott on the ground, Allison crouching next to him and Kate pointing a gun at Scott and Derek lying motionless.
"Kate! I know what you did. Put the gun down." Chris commanded
"I did what I was told to do." Kate answered
"No one asked you to murder innocent people." Jewel hissed
"There were children in that house, ones who were human. Look what you're doing now. You're holding a gun at a 16 - year - old boy with no proof he spilled human blood. We go by the code - Nous chassons ceux qui nous chassent." Chris said
"We hunt those who hunt us." Allison muttered. Chris shot a tree behind Kate
"Put the gun down. Before I put you down." He narrowed his eyes
"No need for that. Expelliarmeus" Jewel said and Kate's gun flew from her hand. Suddenly she froze hearing a growl from inside the house and exchanged a worried glance with her dad. She rushed and pulled Allison with her
"Lisa, get back."
"What is it?" Allison asked, hearing the growl as well
"It's the Alpha." Scott said as he backed too. Suddenly something came and started running around them. It pushed Chris, making him and his rifle fall down, the Allison, Jewel and finally Scott. Kate quickly picked her gun
"Come on! Come on!" she yelled. Suddenly something grabbed her from behind and led inside the house
"No!" Allison yelled and ran inside
"Lisa!" Jewel followed her and stopped seeing Peter holding Kate from behind, his claws at her throat
"She is beautiful, Kate. She looks like you. Probably not as damaged. So I'm going to give you a chance to save her. And her sister. Apologize. Say that you're sorry for decimating my family, for leaving me burned and broken for six years. Say it - And I'll let them live." Peter said. Tears started running from Allison's eyes and Jewel stood there equally shocked
"I'm sorry." She whispered and then Peter slashed her throat
"I don't know about you, Allison, but that apology - didn't sound very sincere." Peter headed for Allison. Suddenly he was pushed back back a wolfed out Scott
"Run!" he growled. Jewel took Allison's hand and they both ran out
"Dad. Dad. Dad." Allison ran and hugged her dad, crying. Chris opened his other arm and jewel rushed to the embrace when Scott was thrown out of the window. Peter emerged out fully transformed
"I've had enough of this crap" Jewel muttered and walked forward changing into her animagus. Scott's eyes widened as he saw Jewel transform into a black panther. She lunged at him, biting his arm, but he swung her away. She hit the tree and dizzily got up, but pounced on him again, attacking with the scratches. She was suddenly distracted when saw a silver Porsche pull. Suddenly Peter grabbed her from middle and slammed on the ground and started scratching her hard with his claws. She let out a horrified scream of pain but Scott tackled him.
"Jewel!" Allison helped her sister up as she changed back. Her clothes were torn from multiple places, blood seeping out. Stiles and Jackson came out of the Porsche with two flasks of something familiar. Stiles threw it at the alpha, but he caught it
"Oh, damn." He said, scared
Jackson threw the other flask and it hit him, flames dancing on his body. He roared in pain when Allison picked a nearby rifle and shot the flask he was holding which blasted. Flames started burning him when he tried to reach for Jewel and Allison
"Allison!" he yelled and kicked Peter back. Jewel, her arms shaking, pulled her wand
"Incendio"
More flames started on Peter
"Expelliarmus" she whispered and Peter was thrown back, changing into his human form and flames dying. Jewel's head slumped on her sister as she lost all her consciousness. Allison left her sister's side and walked to the crouched Scott. Chris rushed to Jewel's side helping her. Allison crouched in front of him and kissed him. As the kiss deepened, Scott started changing back.
" Why did you do that?" Scott asked once he pulled
"Because I love you." She whispered. They all heard some noise and saw Derek on top of Peter's body. Well not exactly body since he was still alive
"Wait!" Scott requested "You said the cure comes from the one who bit you. Derek. If you do this, I'm dead. Her father, her family - what am I supposed to do?"
"You've - already - decided. I can smell it on you!" Peter groaned, his eyes flashing red
"Wait! No, no! Don't!" But Derek ignored Scott and slashed Peter's throat. He got up and faced others, eyes glowing red
"I'm the Alpha now." He smirked but then frowned seeing Jewel the way she was. He approached to her and crouched, ignoring the killer looks Chris was sending him. She supported multiple wounds and a big gash on her abdomen and shoulder which were seeping blood without stopping. Others also came and surrounded her as Allison crouched next to her Dad.
"Will she be okay?" Stiles asked, his eyes getting glassy
"I don't know. She never supported this much injury" Chris answered, his voice cracking. Derek pushed some hair from her face.
"Why Derek?" Chris growled
"What?"
"Why do you care about my daughter?" he asked, anger flushing from him
"Because I love your daughter" he said shocking everyone
"What?" Allison asked
"I love her. And I want to be with her." he admitted then looked up at Chris "She won't die, right?"
"No. she won't" Chris answered
Aish
