The minute Jess knew stiles was missing she swore she felt her heart stop. Jackson was dead after killing himself, Gerard was missing and even worse stiles was missing as well.
She left the field ignoring Scott and isaac's calls of her name as she ran. As soon as she was away from everyone she tried her best to find stiles using the stupid sight thing but there was nothing.
'Argh, come on!' She shouted annoyed.
'Getting angry won't help' she growled and span around to find Peter leaning casually against one of the forest tress.
'You know about it?' She questioned glaring.
'Of course I know about it. I'm the one who gave you the ability after all' he said like it was obvious but Jess frowned confused.
'What do you mean?'
'Do you remember the night I bit you?' Peter wondered.
'Vividly' Jess said, flashbacks of Peter in alpha form flashing through her mind.
'Do you remember what happened right after I bit you?' He wondered.
Jess mental flashed back to the night reserving the pain from the bite from her shoulder before remembering how she was lost in complete darkness. 'You blinded me'
'Correct. You see with a normal werewolf it would of completely blinded you for life, same goes for a human but seems as I did it when you were between both, it gave you a new ability, enhanced sight. Extremely rare amongst werewolves, I've only ever heard of it working for one other so it was bit of a long shot' he shrugged, like it was no big deal that he could have blinded her for life.
'Why me?' Jess questioned.
'I always said I liked your fire Jess. Besides your clearly the smarter twin. I figured you'd be able to handle the ability much better then Scott ever could'
'So I was your secret weapon?' Jess guessed and he nodded.
'Yes, if you want to call it that. Your the first bitten werewolf I've ever met that's always in control even on your first full moon. You didn't run around like a rabid wolf trying to kill everything and everyone you saw no you sought me out. Your wolf sought out the biggest threat to you at that point and even during the fight you fought more like a werewolf in complete control. It's only because of that, that your ability is so much stronger on the full moon'
'Okay this is all great and all but how the hell does it help me find stiles? In case you haven't noticed it's not a full moon!' She yelled pointing up to the crescent moon above them between the stars.
'Stiles is the exception. Stiles is the one person you can always find full moon or no full moon' Peter told her and she frowned.
'What do you mean?'
'Well not only is stiles your anchor but he's also your mate'
'Mate? Like those werewolf stories teenage girls write about?' Jess asked in in disbelief and Peter rolled his eyes.
'No not like that, though they do have some aspects of it right. You don't become extremely possessive or protective but stiles does complete you or your wolf. You see he's an anchor to your human side but he's a mate to your wolf side' Peter explained as she stared at him, trying to understand all the information he was giving her.
'Out of everyone around, you share the biggest connection with stiles, which makes it so easy for you find him. You just have to accept it'
'Accept what?' She frowned.
'Accept that you love him' Jess shook her head
'I don't love stiles' Peter merely raised his eyebrows and she rolled her eyes, letting out a small sigh 'okay even if I did it doesn't matter cause he's in love with lydia'
'Are you sure about that?' Peter questioned and Jess frowned,wondering what he meant by that. 'Come on Jessica, your meant to be the smart one, haven't you noticed at stiles doesn't talk about Lydia as much anymore? Haven't you noticed that when you and Lydia are walking together his eyes are only on you? How bout the party, Lydia was looking beautiful but your the one he complimented not her. Don't you get it? He's not in love with Lydia anymore, he's in love with you' he told her and Jess stared at him in disbelief before sighing.
'Okay so let's just say he is in love with me okay? And that I'm in love with him and he's my anchor or mate or whatever. How do I find him?' Jess questioned and Peter smiled.
'Do what you always do, only think about stiles' Jess glared at him for the "always do" comment before she nodded and closed her eyes. She pictured stiles in her head, with the buzz cut that was already starting to grown longer, his honey brown eyes and the small moles that dotted his face, everything.
When she opened her eyes, they were shining a bright gold and she was no longer in the forest but out on the street, she immediately spotted a bruised stiles walking down the pavement. She recognised the street to be the same one the Argents lived on and the thought made her growl and snap her back.
'I know where...he is' she finished looking around to see no sign of Peter anywhere. She frowned confused before the image of stiles flashed back into her mind and she bolted.
'Stiles!' Jess shouted as she ran down the sidewalk. The boy in question turned around only having a split second before Jess crashed into him, hugging him tightly. 'Oh thank god' she breathed out a sigh of relief.
'What happened to you?' She pulled away seeing the bruises on his cheek and cut lip 'I'm gonna kill them' she growled out and began stalking towards the Argent's house, her eyes flashing murderous.
'Jess, dont' stiles stopped her by grabbing her worst and pulling her back 'they're not worth it'
'Not worth it? They hurt you stiles so I'm going to hurt them' she growled her eyes shining their bright gold.
'Jess, hey look at me. I'm fine okay?' He reassured her, making her look at him 'I'm fine' she sighed and her eyes returned back to their usual brown.
'Okay well at least let me do this' she said and raised her hand to his face covering the bruises. Stiles sent her a questioning look before he slowly relaxed as black veins appeared along her hand and arm.
'What did you do?' He asked when she removed her hand.
'I took away your pain' she explained, watching as the black veins slowly disappeared away from her arm.
'How-?' 'It's a part of the healing aspect of being a werewolf' she shrugged and he nodded slightly.
'Come on, we better head to your place. Your dad was freaking out' she explained and began walking only to stop when she saw stiles still standing on the side walk with a strange look on his face. 'Stiles?'
'Do you regret what happened at the party?' Jess was surprised at the sudden and random question. Though she knew he meant the kiss. 'I just mean, you haven't really talked to me since that night I thought maybe you were avoiding me because of it. If that's the case I totally understand and we can just forget it happened and...'
'is that what you want?' Jess asked softly, ending his ramblings. Stiles stopped and looked at her 'I just mean with the whole "I've been in love with Lydia since third grade" I totally understand if you want to forget about what happened because...' She was cut off when Stiles's crashed his lips to hers.
Once again he had managed to catch her off guard, he was really getting good at that. Jess wrapped her hands around the back of his neck pulling him closer as she moved her lips against his. When Stiles tightened his grip around her waist and all thoughts about what had happened earlier that night left her.
Stiles pulled away first, resting his forehead against hers as they both breathed in some much needed air. A thought struck her and Jess pulled away slightly 'what about Lydia?' She wondered and suddenly dread filled her when stiles said nothing. She wanted to hit herself over and over again for ever thinking stiles could love even like her more than he did Lydia.
Jess began to take a step back but stiles grabbed her hand with his own and tilted her chin up so her eyes locked on his. 'Lydia isn't the one I'm in love with anymore'
Jess couldn't help but gape at him in shock 'what?'
'I don't know when it happened but suddenly I didn't care about Lydia the way I did before. I realised that whenever I entered a room I would always look for you over anyone else and that whenever you got hurt I felt like I couldn't breathe until I knew you were going to be okay and well when I kissed you at the party everything just clicked. I realised I do, I do love you Jess' he finished and Jess continued to stare up at him, not even blinking as his words registered in her mind.
She was in shock yes, cause after all those weeks and if Peter was right years of pushing away her feeling for the boy in front of her she thought she would never have a chance to be with him. Now here he was proclaiming his love for her. Jess couldn't help but feel like she was dreaming.
'Jess, you still with me?' stiles asked waving a hand in front of her face and she snapped out of her stupor.
'Yeah, I'm ... Stiles I love you too' she confessed with a soft smile and stiles grinned brightly. He leaned forward and their lips met in a passionate kiss, one that could only come from the rush of confessing your love to someone and having them love you back. Even when they pulled away from each other they still remained wrapped around each other, holding each other and quite frankly just revelling in their happiness.
Which of course had to end when Jess's phone began going off and the two were snapped back to reality. She quickly answered it when she saw it was Scott 'hello?'
'Jess, you need to get to the hale house right now' Scott's voice said over the reciever and she frowned in confusion.
'Why?'
'Something to do with Jackson. Oh and Peter's alive by the way' he told her and Jess nodded.
'Yeah I know'
'You know? How?' He questioned
'No time to explain. What's going on with Jackson? Oh and I found stiles by the way' she told Scott.
'Oh thank god' Scott breathed a sigh of relief before focusing on her first question 'I don't know but Peter and Derek think there's more to Jackson killing himself. We think...' Jess hears muttering on the other end of the line 'just get here okay?'.
'Alright I'm on my way' she hangs up and turns to stiles 'you coming?' She questions but stiles wears a strange expression on his face before he shakes his head.
'Actually I better go tell my dad I'm alive. So he'll stop worrying you know?' He shurgs and Jess nods understandingly but the expression she saw on stiles few moments ago worried her.
'Okay I'll text you and keep you informed on what's happened then' She said and he nodded. Jess walked back towards him and titled his chin so he was looking directly into her eyes. 'Stiles, are you okay?' She asked, worried.
'Yeah I'm fine' he assured her but she still remained convinced but knew stiles wouldn't give up the real reason at that moment.
'Okay, I love you' she said and he finally smiled a genuine smile and kissed her lips quickly.
'I love you too' she smiled and kissed him again before they went in different direction. Stiles going home and Jess going to the hale house.
She was probably half way there when she crashed into a familiar figure, 'what the hell Scott?' She groaned out as the twins found the self sprawled across the forest floor.
'Sorry' he apologised standing up and helping his sister to her feet.
'What are you doing out here?' Jess questioned.
'Somethings happening with Jackson at the hospital' Isaac explained from where he stood next to Scott.
'Well then what are we waiting for let's go!' Jess all but shouted as she bolted off in the direction of the hospital, the boys following after her.
They arrived at the morgue where Melissa was waiting do them. Upon entering they saw Jackson lying in the black body bag he was out in except his body was encased in some kind of gel. His claws were out and resting on his chest and only his head remained out of the gel.
'What's happening to him?' Scott asked their mom.
'I thought that you were gonna tell me. Is it bad?' Melissa wondered
'It doesn't look good.' Jess pointed out just as Jackson moved.
'Whoa' the werewolves exclaimed as they flinched, moving away from the supposed to be dead Jackson.
'Um, mom, could you zip it up, please?, Scott asked and Melissa looked at him in disbelief before sighing when both Isaac and Jessica sent her the same pleading look.
'Okay. Okay, okay. Okay, here we go.' Melissa said as she moved forward and began to zip up the bag. However the zip got caught near Jackson's chin and she tried pulling it up only to have Jackson hiss his teeth bared and they all flinched moving backwards.
'Mom, zip.' Both Scott and Jess said
'Okay, okay, okay, okay.'
'Zip! Zip, mom, zip! Zip!' The twins urged her on as Jackson hissed again before Melissa finally got the zip unstuck and over his head.
Scott quickly called Derek and explained what was happening to Jackson. However while he was on the phone Jackson began to move inside the bag.
'Scott bring him to us' Derek said through the phone.
'I'm not sure if we have time for that.' Scott explained as they all kept a wary eye on the moving bag.
'Scott, get him out of there now - go now.' Derek urged before hanging up.
'Alright let's get him out of here then' Jess said before looking at the two boys who only stared back at her 'go on lift him up'
'Why us?' Isaac asked.
'Just pick it up' she said and the boys rolled their eyes before picking up the bag.
The three made their into the parking lot 'stop' Jess warned and they stopped as she watched as the people in the parking lot went into the hospital 'okay, go'.
Making their way across the parking lot Scott somehow managed to drop Jackson to the floor. The boys stared down at the bag in horror. 'Scott' Jess scolded as he quickly went to pick Jackson back up only to have headlights flash at them.
Turning around a car came to a stop in front of them, the headlights temporarily blinding the werewolves. Climbing out of the car was the person they less expected.
Chris Argent
'You're alone.' Scott spoke up first
'More than you know.' He said almost sadly.
'What do you want?' Scott asked and Chris sighed.
'We don't have much in common, Scott. But at the moment, we have a common enemy.' He told him.
'That's why I'm trying to get him out of here.' Scott said like it was obvious but Chris shook his head
'I didn't mean Jackson.' All the werewolves stared at the hunter in disbelief when they realised he meant Gerard.
'Gerard has twisted his way into Allison's head' Jess gave out an low growl at the mention of Allison, remembering her last encounter with the Argent, you could say she wasn't Allison biggest fan right now. 'The same way he did with Kate.' 'And I'm losing her. And I know you're losing her too.'
'You're right. So can you trust me to fix this?' After a moment Chris gave a slight nod 'Then can you let us go?'
'No. My car is faster.' He said and the werewolves looked at him in slight disbelief before they all hauled Jackson into Argents car and drove away from the hospital.
They arrived in the industrial area of town and climbed out 'I think he stopped moving.' Isaac spoke up
'Is that a good or a bad thing?' Jess wondered but recieved no answer most likely because no one knew.
'Where's Derek?' Chris asked Scott but he got his answer in the next second when Derek raced up on all fours. He flipped in front of them landing and flashing his alpha eyes.
Jess rolled her eyes and muttered 'show off' under her breath.
Derek kept his eyes on argent who spoke up 'I'm here for Jackson. Not you.'
'Somehow, I don't find that very comforting.' Derek told him before looking at the wolves 'Get him inside'.
'Where are they?' Scott spoke up
'Who?' Derek asked
'Peter and Lydia.' Derek shook his head and moved towards Jackson. Jess narrowed her eyes at the alpha when he unzipped it 'Whoa, hold on a second. You said you knew how to save him.' Scott argued.
'We're past that.'
'What about -' 'Think about it, Scott. Gerard controls him now. He's turned Jackson into his own personal guard dog. And he set all of this in motion so that Jackson could get even bigger and more powerful.' Derek argued
'No.' Chris spoke up 'No, he wouldn't do that. If Jackson's a dog, he's turning rabid, and my father wouldn't let a rabid dog live.'
'Of course not.' Jess's eyes flashed when she turned to see Gerard standing there 'Anything that dangerous, that out of control - Is better off dead.'
Derek went to kill Jackson only to have Jackson reach up and dig his claws into his abdomen. Jess covered her mouth in shock as Jackson lifted Derek up with his claws and threw him away.
'Well done to the last, Scott. Like the concerned friend you are, you brought Jackson to Derek to save him. You just didn't realize that you were also bringing Derek to me.'
Jess felt her eyes flashed and she quickly moved in front of Isaac and was hit by the arrow that was heading straight for him. She gasped in pain and fell backwards only to have Isaac catch her.
'Allison?' Scott gaped in surprise before he quickly moved to help Isaac with his sister dragging her away from Jackson.
'Rip the goddamn thing out' Jess cried out as she winced in pain. The sounds of gunshots and a kanima's hiss sounds out through the building. Scott quickly ripped out the arrow after a moment's hesitated ion and she cried out as the metal ripped through her skin again.
Able to stand now as her shoulder healed, Jess shifted completely along wi Scott and Isaac. They watched as Jackson threw Chris into some crates before Derek roared as he flipped over some crates of his own. The kanima hissed as all four wolves stalked forward.
Derek attacked first but he was sent away. Scott attacked, ripping his claws into Jackson only to be sent backwards as well. Jessica made her move and sent a kick to the kanima's face but her legs was grabbed and she was sent flying into a bunch of crates.
Isaac was sent away next as Derek climbed some frames hitting the kanima in the back. The kanima gripped his arm and sent him into the front of a metal panel but Derek ran up it flipping behind the kanima. Attacking again Derek was sent into it and crumbled to the floor.
At this point the twins had recovered and attacked Jackson together. They only managed to get a few goofs hits in before he sent Scott one way and Jess into another. Scott hit some frame work while Jess rolled over the top of some crates crashing behind them.
She groaned in pain before standing up climbing over the crates just in time to watch Isaac crumble to the floor after he was stabbed by Allison, who went after Derek.
'No, Allison!' Scott yelled out but Allison wrists were grabbed by the kanima and she found herself with the kanima hand to her throat. She knew it was mean but Jess really didn't care if it killed her at this point as she hurried over to Issac and checked him over. There were multiple stab wounds but at least he was healing.
'Not yet, sweetheart.' Gerard spoke up, walking forward
'What are you doing?' Allison gaped at him.
'He's doing what he came here to do.' Scott said and they all turned to look at him surprise.
'Then you know.'
'What's he talking about?' Allison whispered.
'It was the night outside the hospital, wasn't it, when I threatened your mother.' Jess growled at the new piece of information wanting to tear the old man a new one but instead she helped Isaac to his feet when the boy came to 'I knew I saw something in your eyes. You could just smell it, couldn't you?'
'He's dying.' Isaac stated, leaning on Jess who could smell it now. The smell of death.
'I am. I have been for a while now. Unfortunately, science doesn't have a cure for cancer yet. But the supernatural does.' He said looking down at Derek. Jess gaped at the man releasing eaxactly what he meant.
Allison gasped only to have Jackson tighten his grip around her neck. 'You monster.' Chris spat out, glaring at his father.
'Not yet.' Gerard smirked.
'What are you doing?' Allison gasped out and the kanima tightened his grip again after a glare from Gerard.
'You'll kill her too?' Chris questioned in disbelief.
'When it comes to survival, I'd kill my own son!' He said before looking at Scott 'Scott.'
'Scott don't you dare!' Jessica warned as her brother shifted back to normal and began moving towards Derek. He only glanced at her before looking at Gerard.
He moved forward and grasped Derek by the back of the neck lifting him up and holding him upright as Derek had been paralysed 'Scott, don't. You know that he's gonna kill me right after. He'll be an Alpha.' derek argued
'That's true. But I think he already knows that, don't you, Scott? He knows that the ultimate prize is Allison.' Jess growled loudly at that. He couldn't be serious? She glanced at Scott in disbelief that he would do this just to be with wallis on, the person who had just tried to kill them.
'Do this small task for me, and they can be together. You are the only piece that doesn't fit, Derek. And in case you haven't learned yet, there is just no competing with young love.' The old man grinned before taking his jacket off.
'Scott, don't! Don't!' Derek warned
'I'm sorry. But I have to.' Scott said as he lifted Derek,s head back.
'Scott, stop!' Jess shouted at her brother and she swore if she wants the only support for the still healing Isaac she would rush over there and throw her stupid brother into a wall.
Gerard placed his arm over Derek's open mouth and the alpha was forced to bite down, Gerard cried out before ripping his bitten arm out and Derek collapsed to the ground. Gerard grinned happily and raised the bitten arm up into the air as a sign of victory.
Yet something had gone wrong as the bite began to bleed black blood. Everyone stared at the arm in shock and Gerard's vicious grin slipped off his face 'What?" He asked before looking down at the bleeding arm 'What is this? What did you do?' He said looking at Scott.
'Everyone said Gerard always had a plan. I had a plan too.' Jess looked at her brother in shock as Gerard began looking for his pill container.
'No. No.' He gaped out looking at the tablets and Jess remembered how Scott had picked up the container from the floor handing it back to Gerard.
'Mountain ash!' Gerard yelled as he crushed the tablets in his hand.
He fell to the floor as black blood began oozing from his eyes, ears and his nose. He began choking before a flood of black blood erupted from his mouth, Jess cringed in disgust as did all the others.
Gerard fell to the floor after the blood left him.
'Why didn't you tell me?' Derek asked looking up at Scott.
'Because you might be an Alpha, but you're not mine.' Scott told him.
Gerard suddenly sat up with a grain and coughed out more blood 'Kill them! Kill them all!' He screamed his mouth voice red in the black goo before collapsing.
Jackson let go off Allison slowly and she took her chance punching him before ducking away. Bright lights filled the room as a car ran right into Jackson.
'Did I get him?' Jess grinned, hearing stiles's voice and recognising the jeep. However it was short lived as Jackson jumped onto the hood. Lydia screamed while stiles shouted 'Whoa!'. When Jackson hissed however stiles screamed loudly.
They both scrambled out of the jeep, stiles going to Scott while Lydia stared at the kanima 'Jackson! Jackson.' She said and the kanima was going after her.
Jess was about to drop Isaac and run to get her friend out of the way when she noticed a key in her hand, Jackson's stopped when he spotted the key as well.
They all stared in shock as Jackson transformed back into being Jackson halfway covered in scales with claws, he grabbed the key from Lydia and stared down at it before looking at her. He stepped back and Jess frowned confused as he spread his arms out.
Everything seemed to happen in slow motion as both Peter and Derek rushed out and stoked Jackson with the claws in the front and the back. He choked as he was lifted into the air before Derek and peter let him go.
Jess moved over to the others slowly watching in horror, tears welling in her eyes as Jackson chocked falling into Lydia's arms.
'Do you - do you still -' Jackson breathed out
'I do.' Lydia nodded 'I do still love you. I do, I do still love you. I do' she gasped out as Jackson fell into her arms completely, his eyes closed.
Jess turned into stiles, burying her head into his shoulder as she let tears roll down her cheeks. Jackson was her friend and they had understood each other in a way no one else could. The constant gripping fear that they were never good enough was something they both shared and had somehow bonded over. She could remover the random nights when her and Jackson left to do something random just to keep their minds off their insecurities.
Her heart ached at the loss and she only looked up from stiles shoulder when Allison spoke up 'Where's Gerard?'
'He can't be far.' Chris assured from behind.
They all turned and looked as Lydia stood up, wiping her cheeks. She slowly made her way towards them only to freeze. In fact all of them froze at the sounds of claws moving agonist the pavement. They all looked towards Jackson and Jess gasped when she heard the sound of a heartbeat.
Jackson slowly stood up and roared into the sky, fully shifted as a wolf his eyes glowing a luminous blue. They all stared at him in disbelief and shock as he shifted back. Lydia raced straight into his arms and they held each other tight.
Jess felt stiles slip his hand into his and squeeze. She squeezed back even though she was still in a state of disbelief, seeing someone die only to come back a werewolf was not something you see everyday after all.
Jackson looked at them all and gave them a small nod before burying his face back into Lydia's neck.
'Um when did this happen? Scott suddenly asked and both stiles and Jess jumped as the question was focused at them. They looked at him to see him locking down at their entwined hands. Both stiles and Jess looked at each other before looking back at Scott, who was seriously giving stiles the "hurt my sister and I'll kill you" look.
'Long story, we'll explain when we're not standing in a warehouse' Jess said 'speaking of which lets get out of here'.
The next day Scott, stiles and Jess walked out onto the field. The newly formed couple walking hand in hand. 'So you really think she's gonna come back to you?' Stiles questioned Scott. Allison had broken up with him the night before and strangely he didn't see as upset about it as he should be.
'Yeah, I know she is' Scott nodded as he grabbed his stick from his bag 'oh and just because I'm okay with you two does not mean you can't art making out or anything in front of me' he warned and the other two laughed.
'Why don't you just get into the goal and help me make team captain like you promised there, big guy.' Stiles said. Jess sat down in the middle of both of them pulling out a sketch book as the boys readied themselves for practise.
'Hey, you know what I just realized? I'm right back where I started.' Scott said
'What do you mean?'
'I mean no lacrosse, no popularity, no girlfriend. Nothing.' He explained
'Dude, you still got us' stiles spoke up pointing between himself and Jess.
'I had you both before.' Scott pointed out.
'Yeah, and you still got me. Okay? It's a life fulfilled.' Stiles said and Jess laughed as Scott nodded.
'Very.'
'Now remember, no wolf powers.
'Got it.
'No, I mean it. No super fast reflexes, no super eyesight, no hearing - none of that crap, okay? Or I'm setting my girlfriend on you' he warned pointing at Jess whom flashed her gold eyes at her brother with a grin.
'Okay. Come on.' Scott said hitting both sides of the goal with his net .
Stiles went to take the shot before pausing 'You promise?'
'Would you just take the shot already?' Scott groaned and stiles nodded. Jess couldn't help but smile as she grabbed her pencils as Scott's eyes flashed just as stiles threw the ball.
'I said no wolf powers!'
