Grey – Chapter 10

Cassern

Julian's POV

It's been a few days since I told my Brother that I forgave Wayland and he told me this morning before he went to work that Wayland's Brother, Nathaniel is here. Wayland's Brother scares me more than Wayland himself, I can sometimes tell when he's near like right now. I hear a hard knock at the door I go and answer it, it's Nathaniel and Wayland "Hi Jules." Wayland said "Hi." I say back. I nervously shallow a lump in my throat as I look at Nathaniel "Hi." I say to him "Hello, Julian. Is your Brother here?" He asks, "No. He's at work." I answer "Hmm, that's too bad. Do you need a ride to school?" Nathaniel asks "Um…" I say nervously glancing at Wayland.

Wayland stands in front of his Brother "Uh, Brother, I can take Jules to school." He said, Nathaniel frowns as he looks at Wayland then he looks at me. He looks back at Wayland and smiles a bit "Okay, be safe. I have business to tend to." Nathaniel said then walks away. Wayland looks at me "Ready?" I nod, he mutters a spell and were both teleported near school.

I start to walk towards school "Jules." I hear Wayland call out, I stop and turn to him "You don't like my Brother, do you?" He asks "It's not that I don't like him… he just scares me." I say honestly, Wayland raises his eyebrow "More than me?" He asks "You scare me too but your Brother is intense." I say, "I can be intense." He tells me "I know but your Brother takes to whole another level." I say. Wayland smirks "Yeah, he does. I think he wanted to talk to you about your Brother." He said "What about?" I ask, Wayland shrugs his shoulders "Don't know. You'd probably have to ask your Brother." He answers. I sigh "Well, I'll see ya around I guess." I say "Yeah, see ya, Jules." He said back.

I walk towards school when someone shouts my name "Julian!", it's Stiles, he's jogging towards me "Hey, what's up?" I say "Something happened last night." He tells me "Oh." I said, I guess it has something to do with the supernatural "Come on, everyone is over here." Stiles said, gesturing to the buses. I walk with him "So, you and Wayland are on speaking terms?" Stiles asks, I guess he saw me and Wayland talking. I sigh "Yeah." I say "So, did you forget that he tried to kill you?" He asks with a little attitude, I stop and turn to glare at Stiles then I take a breath to calm down "No, I didn't. I forgave him." I tell him "What?!" Stiles exclaims "Calm down, okay." I tell him.

Stiles gives me a look "What if he tries again? You can't trust him." He said "You think I don't know that. I'll probably never trust him again but I had to forgive him for me." I tell him, Stiles stares at me "What? Do you want me to promise he won't cause trouble? Because he won't, okay." I assure him. Stiles sighs "Fine." He said then we continue walking towards Scott and the others, they probably hear our conversation from there. Damn supernatural hearing.

Last night, a girl from our school named Tracy killed her Father and she's supernatural. They think she's a werewolf but we can't assume every supernatural creature is a wolf, there are other creatures out there. I haven't seen them but my Brother has and he's told me of other supernatural creatures he's met.

Afterwards I went to my locker and Liam's Friend, Mason, kept following me and asking me question about witches I turn and face him "Yes, to spells. Yes, to potions. No, to pointy hats and brooms." I tell him "Awesome. Can anyone learn magic?" Mason asks "Apparently." I answer, thinking about Stiles and his progression with magic. Mason lights up "You think I can learn?" He asks, I think about it for a moment "Maybe, let me think about, okay." I tell him, Mason nods excited then runs off.

I'm in class when suddenly the fire alarm blares through out the school, so everyone starts to get up and leave including myself. I see Scott and Liam going into a classroom, I cloak myself and follow them. In the classroom there's two girls and one of them is tightly gripping the other "Tracy, let go." Scott said, so, this is Tracy. She doesn't feel like a werewolf "They're coming." She said looking crazed "They're coming for all of us." She said then collapses and a silver liquid starts to come from her mouth.

Scott picks up Tracy and leaves with her, Liam checks on the other girl then runs off I follow after him. He catches up with Kira and Lydia and asks them where Scott and the others went. They went to the animal clinic I get there as fast as I can to find Scott, Stiles, and others laid out on the floor "What the hell?" I whisper "Julian? Oh, thank god. You have a spell for this right?" Stiles asks from the floor "Uh… what is exactly is this?" I ask back.

Stiles explains the situation, Tracy's a kanima, some kind of lizard creature with paralyzing poison and that's why everyone is on the floor. I've never heard of one maybe Logan has, "Okay." I say as I approach Stiles and kneel next to him. I grasp his arm to see if I can siphon the poison "Can you move?" I ask "I think I moved my right leg." Stiles answers, he didn't. I sigh, well it seems I can't siphon kanima poison.

Groaning in frustration I look around and see a couple surgeon knifes, and an idea pops into my head. I pick them up and approach Malia "Sorry in advance." I say then I stab her in the leg, she groans in pain. Then I approach Scott "Julian, what are you doing?" He asks nervously "I'm just trying to trigger your healing. Sorry in advance." I say then I stab him in the leg, he groans in pain. Malia gets up first and pulls out the knife, she looks mad I raise my hand up in surrender "Sorry." I plead "I still want to punch." She said, "But I think I can track Tracy's scent." She said and starts to leave "Malia! Save her." Scott said, I roll my eyes and Malia grimaces.

Malia tracks her to the Sheriff's Station, we rush inside and find deputies paralyzed, and Lydia is bleeding out "Malia… listen… Tracy… she thinks… she's asleep. She thinks she's dreaming. It's a night terror." Lydia tells us "I… I don't know what that…" Malia said not understanding, "She… she's not dreaming. She's not asleep. Get her to understand." Lydia said, Malia goes after Tracy.

I stay behind with Lydia and look at her wound. She bleeding a lot I'm not really good at healing, if I only had some herbs on hand to make a healing remedy. I put my hands over her wound and mutter a spell that should slow the bleeding. I hear footsteps but I concentrate on trying to heal Lydia "Julian?" I hear Stiles say. Theo crouches next to me "What are you doing?" He asks "Trying… to heal her." I answer, "Give me something to put on her wound." I say, Theo rips a part of his shirt and wraps it around Lydia "Thanks." I say "No problems." Theo said smiling.

Sirens can be heard in the background, ambulances are coming, good. I just remembered something my Brother works here "Logan!" I shout looking for him "Julian! I'm over here!" He shouts "Hey, you, all right?" I ask concerned as I jog over to him "Yeah, lucky I did a protection spell on myself this morning but it didn't stop me from getting paralyzed." Logan tells me. Tracy got killed by some guys wearing masks, according to Malia. I believe her but Stiles and Scott don't, guys with masks… not much to go on, I wonder if Wayland knows anything about it.

The next day I went to school and the day went on normally. It's after school and I'm putting stuff in my locker, ready to go home when I feel someone's presence. It's Theo, he smiles "Hey, we haven't officially met. I'm Theo." He said with his hand out to shake. I look at his hand then go back to putting stuff in my locker "Hmm, I'm Julian." I say, refusing to shake his hand because I don't trust him and I never will.

Theo chuckles "I met someone a few days ago, he's a witch like you. His name is Wayland. Very powerful, he threw me into a tree with the wave of his hand. Are that powerful?" He asks. I stop what I'm doing and glare at him, he has my attention now "Did you need something?" I ask getting annoyed "Just wanted to get to know you." Theo answers smirking. I look down at his hand and make a face "What is that on your hand?" I ask, Theo looks at his hand then I grip his wrist and start to siphon him "Ugh, what… are you… doing?" He asks as he's getting weaker "Siphoning you. It's an ability I've had since I was born. I used to hate it but now I love it. It's like breathing, I can take magic from objects, nature, and even creatures like yourself." I explain.

Theo falls to one knee as I continue to siphon him "So, you ask if I'm that powerful. I guess you could say… no, but I'm powerful in my own right. And just so you know, I don't trust you and I don't want to know you because I know who you are. A two-faced shake, I already know a shake and I don't plan on adding more." I say then I let him go and watched him collapse onto the floor then walk away. Don't worry, he's not dead, I just drained of most of his energy. I don't even care if he tells Scott, I told him not to trust Theo and I'm going to force his hand and make Scott see that he can't be trusted.
