Chapter 06: The Warnings Were Real?

"Jules?"

Jules looked at Derek and then at the group of teenagers and Elijah who was sitting as close as he possibly could to his big brother. Derek raised his eyebrow and waited for Jules to say something. Jules looked at Elijah unsure of if she should say anything while he was still in the room, Elijah picked up on it and shoved his headphones in.

"Deucalion's boys are in the ER, they're not looking for a fight" Jules said taking a break before she continued. "Laura brought them in, there was an accident on the highway into town,"

"But they're wolves?" Cora questioned running a hand through her head. They had all been told the stories of the Alpha pack by Laura and Jules.

"There was a dark magic at play, Laura felt something off at the scene," Jules said, she didn't to go into details over what she saw on the twins. "Well I didn't feel anything to be honest, being preoccupied with Der,"

"What are we going to do?" everyone's eyes were on Derek, he was their alpha, even Scott had to admit that he needed the help.

"Talk to the twins and see why they're here," Derek said, taking a deep breath as he looked at Cora who instinctively put her hand on his shoulder while Lydia wrapped her arms around Jackson.

"I will, after they're out of surgery. They're in the same predicament as you at the moment," Jules answered, she wasn't about to tell them that Aiden had lost his vision or that Ethan's leg was badly broken.

Derek motioned for everyone except for Jules to leave the room, he could see that she wasn't saying something. Stiles made a protesting sound that was met by Derek giving him so called 'murder brows'. Lydia dragged Stiles and Jackson out by the ear while Cora and Allison made sure the others left.

"NO wolf hearing" Jules said as the last of them walked out the door, and she returned her attention to Derek.

"You aren't saying something what is it, and don't say nothing I know you too well," Derek said after he found Jules sitting on the edge of the bed beside him.

"I think there's a new power at play...it's just a feeling at the moment until we talk to the twins and Laura," Jules answered, pausing as she thought about whether she should tell him that she had sent Peter to Stiles.

"The dark magic?" Derek asked, Jules nodded and shook her head at the same time before she spoke.

"Peter...I may have sent Peter to help Stiles. I wasn't going to tell you...and you can't tell Jules she'll kill me for asking him," Jules spoke quickly as she looked at Derek who glared at her, he didn't want Peter anywhere near Stiles. "Der, I know you don't want him to but remember when we were kids,"

"Jules! Peter will kill him," Derek all but growled at her, Jules shook her head and sighed.

"He won't, besides if he touches him in the next 72 hours he'll end up broken some how I'm sure of it," Jules shrugged as she felt Derek wrap his arms around her waist to hug her. The second that he moved his arms higher than he had before he groaned in pain. "If he touches him, he can't say that I didn't warn him,"

Derek just groaned and pulled her closer semi-wishing that she was a wolf, Cora must have realised as she walked into the room sheepishly. Derek rolled his eyes of course they'd been listening, they couldn't help themselves. He'd have to teach them how to not listen. Derek didn't let go of Jules as Cora walked over to them muttering that the others were idiots and listening in. Cora looked at Derek and then put her hand on his shoulder and black veins started to pulse up her arm.

At the Stilinski's, Stiles was sitting at his computer trying to search for anything that might give him a clue as to what he did wrong. Even though he was expecting Peter, he still jumped and nearly feel from his chair when the older man climbed in his window. Peter stood by the window watching as Stiles gathered himself up again and crossed his arms.

"Why you?" Stiles questioned, raising his eyebrow as he looked Peter up and down.

"Derek's emissary is not one to be messed with," Peter stated, as though it was obvious that you don't mess with a Martin.

"Why? Because she's a Martin?" Stiles questioned, as he looked at the clock on his computer and it registered just what time it was. "And why are you here so damn early?"

"One question at a time. Because in case you hadn't noticed Jules is rather protective over my nieces and nephew," Peter answered still standing by the window and watching Stiles every move. "And of the wolves in general,"

"And Lydia. Hey! Don't think I didn't notice you avoiding answering why you're here early," Stiles huffed, the last thing he wanted on a Sunday morning was Peter Hale standing in his bedroom at 9AM.

"I wanted to see just what trouble you'd gotten yourself into," Peter grinned almost devilishly at Stiles as he watched Stiles move from the computer to closer to the window. Peter stepped away from the window and Stiles. "What did you do?"

"Didn't she tell you?" Stiles raised his eyebrow as he took another step closer to Peter, nearly backing the older man into the corner of his room.

"She told me to not let you touch me or for me not to touch you," Peter said, ducking as Stiles moved to touch him again. "Which leads me to ask again. What did you do?"

Stiles took a step back from Peter after realising that the older man wouldn't let him near him. Stiles mumbled that it wasn't fair, that Jules was stopping him from having fun. Peter quirked his eyebrow at the teenager, Jules was only stopping him or at least attempting to stop him from doing something stupid.

"You know I can hear you. Now tell me would you?" Peter requested again, pinching the bridge of his nose as he looked Stiles up and down.

"A spell..it was only meat to be a protection spell," Stiles spoke quickly, he knew that Peter wouldn't make him say the spell again.

"A protection spell is only meant to be a twenty-four hour deal. Tell me the specifics, what exactly did Jules tell you?" Peter was being rather persistent as he settled himself on Stiles chair and Stiles sat on his bed.

"That my subconscious was thinking of Derek and him hurting...and that there's a residual magical effect...well that's Lydia's words from Jules," Stiles blurted it out causing Peter nod as he took in what Stiles was telling him. "And I can't or no one can touch me..."

"For what two three days?" Peter tapped his fingers on the desk as he looked around the room before his eyes landed on what Stiles had been looking at. "Did she give you this or did you search for it yourself?" Peter motioned to the computer which Stiles hadn't been closed.

"I looked myself. I like to know all the variables," Stiles said, he clearly hadn't paid attention to the notes that Jules had scribbled at the bottom of hers spell book.

"Stiles, Stiles, Stiles. Did you not see the notes that Julianna had scrawled all over the book that she clearly leant you?" Peter said leaning back in Stiles' chair as Stiles started fidgeting on his bed with the string of his hoodie.

Stiles nodded before he answered looking down at the floor. "I didn't think that it would..." he trailed off being interrupted by Peter tapping again.

"You didn't think that they were real warnings?" Peter sighed exasperatedly shaking his head, this was going to be a long day. "Do you know how she learned? Her first protection spell was used on me, she broke my finger it didn't heal for well over a month," Peter paused wondering if he knew just how annoying that was for a wolf that was used to healing. "She was thirteen, Talia left me in charge of training her. She was after all Derek and Laura's best-friend,"

Stiles looked at Peter wondering just how much of what he was telling him was true. Had Jules really broken his finger when she was thirteen? Stiles couldn't picture her hurting a fly, but then again she was slightly scary. Stiles didn't get why Jules was trusting Peter to teach him, Peter wasn't magical.

At the hospital Derek had managed to convince everyone to go home and sort the house out before Laura finished her double shift. Jules stuck around to talk with the twins before she headed off to work. Jules worked part time at the Library and at one of the local cafe's.

"So you're telling us that you're here to help?" Derek raised his eyebrow looking between Aiden and Ethan as he lay in the bed. "With what exactly?"

"Whatever did this to us," Ethan motioned to himself and to his brother. "What happened to you?"

"Little bit of a mishap. We'll explain later," Jules told the two of them as she stood in the door way of the room. "I was serious about what happened to the two of you taking longer to heal due to magic..." Jules said the last part of her sentence barely above a whisper knowing that they could hear her. "We'll talk more at the house,"

"All we know is that Deucalion sent us to help," Aiden answered, he could sense where everyone was but couldn't see them. "That's all he told us. He told us to help the Hales,"

"Cryptic much. Look I have to head to work, I'll be back tonight," Jules said before she walked away from the three of them leaving Ethan and Aiden slightly perplexed and Derek wanting to sleep.

"We won't be hurt here. People aren't that stupid," Derek said sensing the worry in the chemosignals the two younger werewolves were sending off.

"What makes you so sure?" Ethan questioned, he was itching to scratch his leg but couldn't due to the plaster currently covering it.

"Laura's a paramedic here, and the nurse that was here earlier her son is one of us," Derek answered, running a hand over his head as he scratched the back of his neck. "Jules won't let anything happen,"

At the house Cora was making Elijah do his school reading before he could do anything else and he wasn't going about it quietly. Boyd and Isaac were running through the preserve while Erica was looking through the spare rooms to work out what needed to be done. Scott went to the lacrosse field with Jackson, something that eight months earlier he would never have done.

'Cora, Erica can you set up both the spare rooms? One for Der and one for the twins,' Jules sent at 10:30AM

'What? Why?' Erica sent at 10:32AM

'Okay, which rooms?' Cora sent at 10:32AM

'Seriously Core? Just do it.' Jules sent at 10:33AM

"Hey Eli wanna do a job for me?" Cora asked pocketing her phone as she Elijah looked up from reading his book.

"What kind of job?" Elijah looked at his sister and then back at his book he really wanted to finish reading.

"Finding clean sheets," Cora grinned innocently at him as Erica walked into the room towards them. "Hey Erica, do we take a room each?"

"Nah, do it together it'll be quicker," Erica answered, before the two of them made their way to the first guest room. "The quicker we do it the quicker we can go do other things,"

February Six months earlier.

"Derek! Don't be stupid! I want him to pay maybe even more than what you do," Jules hissed at Derek as they stood over Peter's body, Laura and Cora were standing guard over Lydia in the hospital. "If my sister dies,"

"Jules I have to do this," Derek growled turning slightly to glare at Jules before turning back to Peter's burnt body. Derek ignored Scott's protests about killing Peter as it was his one chance to be normal again.

"Scott, I'll let you in on something. Killing the alpha that bit you won't stop you from being a werewolf," Jules said she wasn't about to turn away from Derek while he killed his uncle. "I'm sorry but Derek didn't know if it was true. Like he said, it was a rumour,"

"What!?" Scott exclaimed as Allison was taken in her fathers arms. Peter had killed Kate after she had murdered Talia. Derek, Cora and Laura had sworn that they would convince the Sheriff that she was Talia had been murdered but Peter wasn't having it.

Jules watched as Derek swiped his claws across Peter's throat causing her to look away. "I'm the alpha now," Derek's voice changed as he spoke and his eyes flashed red at her.

"Derek, if I can't stop you from doing anything stupid then I'm going to have to well I don't know what I'm going to do," Jules muttered running a hand over her face as she closed her eyes. "Where's Cora and Laura? Some thing is happening to Lydia,"

"What? What do you men something is happening to Lydia?" Stiles questioned from where he'd been standing with Jackson.

"It's not happening now...but something will. I can't explain it," Jules said, her attention briefly on Stiles before she moved to Derek and wrapped her arms around him. "Der, please you need to think things through before you do anything else,"

"Leave it Jules,"

February was the month that Derek made what Jules initially decided where stupid decisions. His first was Isaac, who he had rescued from his abusive father. Jules found herself looking after Isaac more like when Derek was a teenager. Jackson had been the first he'd turned, and that was an adventure in itself until they had him sorted out. After Isaac was Erica, who Derek determined that he was also saving her life and giving her a new chance. Finally was Boyd, Boyd wasn't so much a lost cause as he was wanting friends so he didn't have to eat alone.
