Disclaimer: Teen Wolf goes to MTV, and VicTorious goes to Nickelodeon.
Author's Note: So, I've been watching Teen Wolf, mostly due to lack of anything worthwhile to do with my time. Yet, to my surprise, lo and behold, I actually liked it. So I kept thinking about some crossover to do with it; Glee, Pitch Perfect, even The Devil Wears Prada; there're many worthy candidates, but I remembered StakeTheHeart and how there's not enough Victorious out there lately. And this was born, and I'm feeling good about it.
Under the Moon
Wolf Bite
Jade was idly playing with the dials of Beck's police scanner; she was the reason he had it in the first place. Lying half naked on his bed, she flipped through the channels absentmindedly. Beck, for his part, was exercising; he had to look good for his fans. He was the lacrosse team captain and currently, he was trying to impress his girl with his triceps, biceps, and abs. He was also failing miserably on that end.
"Jade, come on," he huffed, "don't you want to touch them? I swear they are bigger."
"I'm bored," Jade replied with a groan. "Helping you study turns into a make out session."
"Hey!" He remarked with offense.
"Oh please, sex is good but I would benefit from a serious relation," she scoffed with her signature eye roll.
"Well then, maybe we should break up!" He cried out and immediately regretted it; his fan club would torment him without Jade by his side. "No, wait —"
"You know, maybe you're right," Jade growled, eyes intent. "Maybe you should finally take Meredith out."
She could hear certain redhead in the background crying out what's that supposed to mean!? so she got up, placed the scanner on her empty bag — he hadn't even noticed she had stopped trying to help him, put her underwear on and her flannel shirt; at least she didn't have to take off her skirt. Quickly, taking advantage of the fact that he was still trying to process everything, she left.
"Fine!" He yelled, running after her.
"Beckett!" His mother called after him.
"Go and see if you can find someone else who can stand you!" He roared at his now former girlfriend.
"I will!" She snapped back.
"See if I care!"
"I know you don't!"
"Jade!" He whined as he began getting exasperated, believing she would only see sense with those words.
"Beckett!" She mimicked along with his mother, just for the resounding front door to close.
"Stop shouting!" His mother chided, exasperation evident.
"That's it, I'm moving to the trailer!" He roared.
"Beckett Oliver!" His father roared back and the house finally appeared to calm. "You will not speak to your mother in such a fashion.
"Apologize, now!"
"Sorry mom," he groused, sniffling in his weakness.
"Ugh, what did I ever see in him," Jade remarked in disgust to herself as she had yet to leave, mostly due to a hunch. "Come on, come on!"
But her own mind betrayed her; a warm body, someone who believed in me . . . but the truth was, he didn't. He only sought his own comfort, the constant validation she gave him, having a free booty call, protection against his fans. She knew him, yet he didn't know her. Some kind of reverse play was at hand; him, trying to fix the one who was broken, trying to take those broken pieces and making something else, not bothering to place the pieces appropriately.
When she heard the steps on the other side of the door, did she realize she was having the closest thing to a panic attack, and immediately calmed down. She also moved out of the way, being particularly silent as to not be seen or heard and to gather intel.
"So don't wait up," the man called behind him, "and don't tell Jade!"
He closed the door and went to his car. Jade went to her own, which was parked on the other side, anxious to get to it before the deputy saw it, then frowned when he drove the other way.
"Why would I tell her anything!" Beck exploded, much to his mother's chagrin.
Jade didn't waste time and ran to her car, hooking the scanner up. "— finding the other half, that's priority!" The Sheriff demanded. When Jade started the car, the signal was briefly lost.
She kept listening while on her way to Cat's.
"Every 10-8 and 10-10, report at the preserve."
"10-11 needed at the preserve."
"10-3, possible eavesdroppers."
"Deputy Oliver, if we find your kid or one of his friends, they can be 10-66 and, if you choose, under Code 148. 10-73?"
"10-63," Beck's father replied with a sigh.
Suddenly, there was a chorused of 10-97; everyone had arrived at the scene. Meanwhile, Jade had to take a detour and had just arrived at Cat's. She got out and was greeted by her best friend's mother. It didn't matter how many times she saw the woman, she had to search for the wrinkles, else she would mistake her for Cat. It didn't help how alike they were, and how she was gleefully embraced, it was always unnerving, watching an adult behave like a child.
"Jayden." The greeting was always unnerving, and a good way of figuring who was who.
"It's Jade," she replied in her unflappable manner.
"I love it when you drop by for a surprise visit," the woman went on, either ignoring or honestly not hearing the girl. "Come! I'm so happy to have my family together after so long!"
"It's never a surprise to you," Jade remarked snidely, but as always she could never say no to either the woman, or her mini clone that was Jade's bestie. "Wait, why didn't I know you were having a special dinner to greet Teddy back from boot camp!?"
"Jay-dee!" Cat and Jade's baby brother, Jasper, tackled the girl from the front while Theodore, Cat's older brother, gave her a hug from behind. "Sandwich!"
Theodore also looked surprisingly like his mother, but his time at school had taken care of the baby fat. He had their natural hair color, a rich chestnut that looked like a milk-based sweet that the Valentine's knew how to make so well. He was also taller than both, lean but well-built. The only reason why mother and daughter were the same height was due to the heels the girl wore. They, in contrast, had red velvet hair, magnificent voices, great body figures, and were naturally airheads and bubbly to boot.
Jasper, on the other hand, was a brown eyed with natural red tinges to the iris, dark haired little boy who loved his sister dearly. Just like Jade, he was named after a precious stone that resembled his eyes, but ever since she called him Jazz he took that as his nickname and wore it with pride. He was fond of Cat and her family, and since he didn't have a paternal role model, a male authority figure — he didn't need one, but having another boy to teach him such stuff was good for him. Jade took over when Teddy left for school, otherwise he would be the West's official older brother. For some reason, the kid didn't like Beck; that ought to have been sign enough.
"It's good to see you Jayden," Teddy had earned his mother's bad habits.
"Children, allow her to breath," Amber, Jade and Jazz's mom, chided them.
"Oh nonsense Honey," and Cait, Cat and Toby's mom, took the other woman by the waist and pulled her in, "she's just in time for dinner."
And Jade groused and reluctantly agreed. True, she hadn't eaten back at Beck's, but she had more pressing matters. Like half the upper body of an unidentified female victim. Besides, Cat would complain on the way if she ever took her away from their family evenings like those. Specially since it was to greet Teddy back from boot camp. Despite his grades and IQ, the only university that accepted him was military; all the others feared his eccentric and erratic behavior.
Jade fed Jazz while Cat fed Toby, and Cait took joy feeding Amber; she also made sure to steal many kisses. The Valentine's cheered, while Jazz giggled like the little tyke he was, and Jade made crude 'room' comments, along with gagging sounds.
"You're just jealous that I'll be getting the type of action you've wanted," Cait whispered seductively to Jade's ear.
"That's it," Jade growled, standing and pointing at Cat, "we're leaving!"
"Don't defile my baby sister," Teddy said by way of good bye, ignoring Amber's expression.
"Don't listen to him," Cait began, scoffing a bit with a wave of her hand before winking at the girls, "don't do anything I wouldn't."
Cat just giggled along with Jazz, while Toby and Amber chided the other woman. Before they could leave, Cat stopped them and thus, forced Jade to watch as Cait shoved her tongue down Amber's throat, earning a whoop from the boy and forcing the young man to taking him to their room.
"Awwww, why can't we stay and watch them?" Cat asked with a pout as she sat shotgun while Jade started the car.
"Because there's half a body in the woods and I want to find it," Jade replied as she drove them further away from the voyeurism scene of Cat's.
"You usually take Beck with you," the other girl reminded her in a demure and sad tone.
"Well, he ended it," she replied with bite, make it a point of completely ignoring the fish impersonation her best friend was making. "I'm not taking him back."
"But, you've been together since middle school!" And the crisis began. "You and Beck, Beck and you — I can't picture either of you together with someone else!
"If you guys aren't made for ever, then what choice do the rest of us mortals have?!" Cat demanded with short breath, to which Jade pulled over and took her time holding her best friend softly. "What happened, Jade? Why did it end?"
"Because he isn't good enough for me, and I'm tired of him thinking of me as broken and trying to fix me, when he isn't ever trying to," she whispered softly, but was unable to hold back on the pain and anger that seeped into her following words, "all he wanted was to make me into someone I'm not, and I don't have to allow him."
"Oh Jade," she began with a sniffle, hiccuping and giving the girl one last tight hug and a kiss, before sniffing again. Letting go, they kept going on in silence, before Cat broke it. "You should have ended it."
"Eh, since he dumped me, he would look stupid for wanting to get back together," she replied with a shrug and a snarl.
They were silent and left to their thoughts for a moment.
"It's a Wolf Moon," Cat remarked absentmindedly.
"Welcome to January," Jade replied with a sigh.
They arrived at the preserve, with Jade going out and giving Cat a peck. The bubbly redhead was staying in the car while the goth went to hunt for a missing half body. Cat knew better than to try and go with her, specially since she wouldn't be useful. At least Beck's dad was a deputy, and also said father was also Cat's Bestest (and only) Maternal Uncle Gary, which meant they could have a way out. But they hadn't caught the reason for the body being in halves, and Jade wasn't going to risk it.
It wasn't long before she was in the woods, flashlight in hand, and right about when she heard a voice calling her name.
"Jaaadee!" It was a hoarse whisper.
"Shut it Beck!" She snarled back, "you'll get us caught!
"You and your stupid light!" She hissed at him when he was finally close enough. She also hit the back of his head. "Now I have bait for the wolves, at least."
"Ha ha," he muttered darkly, "there aren't any wolves."
"They are migratory, haven't been seen in over sixty years," Jade remarked offhandedly, "and it's just an expression, dumbass."
"Well, I'm your ticket out," he stated in a low tone and with conviction. "André is probably already at Cat's house on your car, dropping her off."
"I rather spend the night in the woods, with the killer still at large, than going in a car with you," she replied in her sweetest tone, before dropping her stance further and walking silently away.
He scowled and muttered to himself, not even making it loud enough to distinguish, but still not silent. Jade ignored him and trekked on, certain that she wouldn't get caught. He still kept his blinding light on, while she kept hers close; it wasn't like a shining beacon, but more tuned down and not focused like a beam. It was one of the few things she had helped Cat work on, mainly because of the benefits of such lights, and because it had been an stimulating project. It was how they became besties. They kept running towards the officers, in order to figure out what parts of the forest they had covered and which they were still missing.
At one point, she deviated and when Beck lost sight of her, he began calling for her. Of course, he was caught. A nasty German Shepherd lunged at him and with a cry he fell back.
"Who are you!?" The dog's deputy demanded.
"Stand down!" The sheriff called to his men, and while everyone turned to shine their lights on the poor boy, the girl ran off. "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
"That's my son," Deputy Oliver stated with a sigh.
"Dad! Dad, I tried to stop her, but I couldn't!" Beck quickly ratted her out. "She has the scanner, she came and I'm trying to stop her!"
His father sighed and motioned, "I'll take it from here."
"Go," the sheriff replied.
Jade was long gone. She knew those woods like the back of her hand, her father used to bring her over, before Jazz had been born. When he was, she had been ten, and their father left for reasons unknown. He had recently, six years later, written to Amber with demands of custody over the boy. It was turning into something nasty, but it wasn't something Jade was particularly interested in. She had her favorite scissors sharpened, ready to cut off the man's jewels if something of that nature did happen. She would make that man Peter, regret everything, taking their mother's last name as his, and not treating it with it's due respect.
Suddenly, she was all alone, and she felt the forest stirring. Strangely enough, the prey was upset; it felt like a deer stampede coming her way. Quickly, she ran to the closest tree and curled against it, waiting the stampede out. Cautious and wary, she finally forgot her curiosity in favor of avoiding whatever could make the deer so frantic and escape. With the light of the moon shining better, she turned off her light, just to realize she had instinctively pulled her scissors out. She stared at them with marvel, smiling to herself at the beautiful craftsmanship that Teddy had worked hard on. It had been Jade's fifth birthday gift, and her father loathed them for some reason. Feeling safer, she pocketed her flashlight but kept the scissors out.
That, was when she saw it, with a silver sheen due to the moonlight: blood. And she knew about blood, how it smelled, how it tasted, the feeling of iron on her tongue after taking a breath of it. She could also tell, that it wasn't a natural death, the individual who had spilled such blood, had been healthy. Then again, it had been teared in half, but whatever had been that killed the young woman, she knew and didn't fear.
"What the —?!"
Jade raised her head at the scent of blood coming from somewhere else, and she was greeted by a wolf-like beast with glowing white eyes. It lunged at her, knocking her back, as well as her breath, and when it took a bite out of her side, with a cry back she stabbed the creature with her scissors. That's when she remembered that she had to get them fixed; the joint was weak. With a wounded cry, it released her, keeping one half of her scissors embedded and the other half still in her hands. Turning around, she ran back to the paved road. She was almost hit by a speeding SUV that skidded and swerved, barely missing her. The car though, hit the breaks immediately. Out came out a tanned girl that ran towards Jade, who was still reeling from everything and hadn't quite grasped how close she had been to actually dying that night; either at the paws of some demented beast, of at the mercy of what was, apparently, a latina.
"Are you ok?!"
Jade turned to bite the stranger's head off, but she couldn't. Her throat tightened, and all she could do was gasp at the sight before her. Oh, how wrong were the depiction of angels; fair skin, golden hair, clear eyes? No, angels had tanned skinned, dark hair and eyes. Suddenly, Beck's face came unbidden, and she scowled before the sight before her consumed her again. The girl gave her a goofy smile, and all she could do was smile in return. For the first time since meeting Cat, Cait and Teddy, she gave an honest, radiant, and true smile.
"Can you tell me your name?" The girl asked.
"Jade."
"Well Jade, I'm Tori, and that's my mom, her name's Holly."
"Tori?"
"Tori! Your father said we shouldn't be here!" Holly called, before approaching herself. "Are you okay? Should we call an ambulance?"
"Call the Sheriff," Jade said promptly, "I found the missing half of the body."
Shortly, every officer from the Beacon Department, and even state police, arrived, and Jade guided them back to the body. She did receive Tori's jacket before all that, but held on to her scissor for dear life. Tori didn't mention it, or the fact that she was bleeding from the side; it was dark enough to not be noticed. Jade also learned that the girl's father was the new Sheriff, Vega, and that her angel had a sisterly relation with someone she vehemently loathed: Trina Vega. It was also quite unsettling for her, to be so deeply affected by another human being that had no blood ties to her.
Cat was actually related to Jade through Peter, Jade's father. Her father took on Amber's last name, simply because he hated the Valentine last name. Peter was Cat's uncle by her father's side while Gary, Beck's father, was Cat's uncle through her mother's side. And Jade was no longer counting Beck among those who could sway her, and not even he ever had such a pull on her. It was something she only ever felt when her entire family was together; Cait and Amber, Teddy, Cat, and Jazz. She had never displayed it, but she was eager for the two women to finally formally make things public, and for them all to start living together.
"Can't say I'm happy about this," Sheriff David Vega, who was more than familiar with Jade's antics, even more than with Beck's, told her, then smiled briefly, "but I can't be angry.
"I should've known you would be able to figure this out," he smiled at her; despite everything, they weren't at odds with each other. "Now get out of here before I throw you in jail with your boyfriend."
"He dumped me today," Jade replied bluntly, not letting Tori's hand go.
"And I can see you moved on already," David began with a smile, before whispering, "have my wife take you to our place, she'll patch you up."
"How —?" She gasped, and he just chuckled.
"I know you better by now, West," he replied with a wink.
"Ah," and what else could she say to that?
"Any id on the body?" The sheriff asked, and before Tori could pull her away, Jade answered.
"Yeah, she was the head of the Valentine family after her mother and most of her family, perished in that fire seven years ago," she remarked offhandedly, and then it was her turn to pull the youngest Vega. "Ask Theodore, he's in town; although Cait and Cat didn't know her very well, I believe Teddy considers her a sister."
The sheriff smiled and shook his head. while motioning to his wife and daughter to go ahead. While kissing the woman, he requested for her to check on Jade and her well-being. They suspected bigger things were at play there. On the car, Tori sat with Jade at the back seat; she also upholstered the back with old newspapers, but certainly didn't care about the blood. On the way over to the Vega residence, Jade came down with a fever, and when both Vega women noticed the bite, they proceeded to dividing the tasks. Since Jade wasn't letting Tori go, she was charged with washing the blood away. The wounded became a little grope-y during the shower.
Jade took her clothes off easily enough, finally allowing the scissor's half she still held, out of her grip. When Tori returned, her upper clothes were pulled off and Jade proceeded to devour the young latina in the most voracious, sexual way. Lavishing the decent cleavage, sucking and gently biting on the peaks, scratching the back gently, going as far as to biting the pulse point on the neck and shoulder. When she seemed to have satisfied herself, and leaving a very trembling Tori, did she stop.
"I cleared my throat four times already."
"Mom!" Tori gasped, but she was unable to pull away, didn't have the strength. "I — I don't know what happened —"
"I don't either," Jade said, panting a bit, "but I swear, despite how it looks, its very genuine from my part."
"Mine, too," Tori whispered, just to blush when her mother cleared her throat again. "Perhaps we shouldn't share the shower anymore."
"Don't worry, there'll be other chances," Jade grinned, playfully growling at Tori's back and wriggling her eyebrows at Holly. Who gave her an unimpressed look and motioned for her to take her other clothes off. "Ohhh, you want me all for yourself, huh?"
"Yeah, and I promise it'll be painful," Holly replied with a roll of eyes.
Jade just grinned at that. "And you know how I like it, delightful," she crooned.
Just to keep on teasing and pulling, she stripped completely. She washed the blood away, but before she could get to the bite with soap, the woman stopped her. She examined the bite with worry, and shook her head.
"Just water."
"Damn that stings," Jade hissed as she followed the orders. Suddenly, her attention narrowed down to the girl who walked in. "And just like that, everything else fades."
"Aren't you a romantic," Holly said, humor evident.
"Never had a reason before." Jade replied with a shrug.
Tori, for her part, blushed fully at the sight and had her hand against her eyes as she thrust the clothes with the other.
"No need to be a prude," Jade remarked, "I'm just fast-pacing what's to come."
"I don't even know if I'm gay," Tori blurted, earning a laugh.
"Trust me honey, it's not something you're born knowing, it's something you discover," Holly told her youngest as she gently washed the wound. She hesitated to apply force, but was surprised when it didn't yield some sign of pain. "Aren't you feeling that?"
"My body is telling my brain, which is more focused on the beauty before me," Jade remarked without much thought. "Tori, come here, I need to kiss you."
"What?" Tori again blurted, turned to look at her mother who simply shrugged at her, then cautiously approached the other girl.
"It's not like I thought or considered myself gay," Jade whispered. "All I ever had was Beck in my life, and then you appeared before me and I know, for a fact, that you are the one I need to feel whole."
Making use of the possible answer, Jade took her with her uninjured side and proceeded to kiss the girl senseless, tongue included. After a moment or so, it turned into a sweet and mellow kiss. It left moaning two horny teens.
"Mmmm, I might grow to like this," Tori whispered.
"And that's enough excitement for my patient," Holly stated with a sigh, turning the water off. She then offered the girl a towel while Tori respectfully turned around. "Tori, I need you to distract her."
Tori turned around and gasped when the towel was pressed on her wet hair. Again, they kissed like there was no tomorrow, and it simply ended with a tenderness that was sure to surprise anyone who knew Jade. Holly, for her part, applied a disinfectant, and covered the wound. She proceeded to leave the girls to their own devises as she took the bloody blade. By the time the girls left the bathroom, the blade was pristine and sharp, a thing of beauty again.
"Where did you get this?" Holly asked, honestly interested.
"A gift given to me by Theodore Valentine for my fifth birthday," she replied with a tender smile, "by then, The Scissoring had been airing and it was my favorite movie. He modeled it after the iconic blade in the movie."
"Huh, fancy," was all that Holly said, smiling at the girls.
Suddenly the door was opened and in entered a frantic woman. "Jade!?"
"Mom?" Jade ran down and greeted her mother who fussed over her. "Mom, it's okay, I swear I'm fine."
"Please don't do something so idiotic again," her mother begged.
"Can't make any such promises mom," Jade replied softly, before grabbing Jazz and giving him a tight hug, hugging her mother again, and not saying anything when the Valentine's joined in. "So much love, I feel smothered."
"Awww, not fair Jayden," Cait said with a pout.
"Yeah, you're not supposed to grow up so fast in that sense," Teddy added with a frown. "Who bewitched you?"
"That would be her," and she pointed at Tori, who blushed.
"Thank you so much," Amber began, looking at the Sheriff (who had opened the door) and his wife, and was chorused by Cait and Teddy, while Cat dragged Jade and Tori out; Jade still held her baby brother.
"I'm glad you're okay, Jay-dee," Cat said, hugging her again; Tori was surprised by the lack of painful reaction. "So have you guys kissed already?"
"Three times," Jade mock whispered, making Jazz giggle and Cat gasp and stare at the latina with wonder.
"And what's your name, handsome?" Tori asked the boy, pressing a bit closer than normal to Jade.
"Jasper," he replied with a boyish grin, "but family calls me Jazz."
"And can I call you Jazz?" Tori asked, quite serious.
"You're with JJ, so yesh," he replied with a cheer.
"Ohhh, now that's a real honor and privilege," Jade said, eyes wide with surprise.
"Well then, Jazz, I'm Victoria but everyone I care for calls me Tori," she said with a wink. "Please call me Tori, too."
"Ohh, can I call you Tori?" Cat asked, excited beyond measure.
"You just did," Tori replied.
Before they could continue though, the two moms returned and the ride home was bound to be eventful. Jade said bye to Mr. and Mrs. Vega with a wave, while giving Tori a deep, forget-me-not kiss. She went as far as to grip that fine ass tightly before letting go. In the car, everyone but Amber wolf-whistled and made other such antics, with Jazz not getting into it and just sleeping on his sister's lap.
Jade ignored it all, opting for enjoying her night, and sleeping soundly with Jazz on one side, and Cat on the other. This happened with certain degree of frequency, so she was used to it. In fact, after the night she just had, it would take her a while to actually fall asleep; as it was, she fell like a brick.
AN: Feedback would be greatly appreciated. Specially since this is just the start. Postings shall be done first Monday, every two months. I know the update time is long and far between but, I need the stability and leeway.
