Grey – Chapter 13

Cassern

Julian's POV

I was speechless at my Brother's sudden outburst "Uh…" I say, "He's a Hellhound." Logan tells me before I could get a word in. Hellhound? "I thought Hellhounds were supposed to be in Hell?" I ask, Apparently not." Logan answers then he explains most of what he found out. I take in all this information "That's… that's interesting." I say. I see Logan's pile of research and walk towards it. I start to read "Night, Julian." Logan said, "Night, Logan." I say as I continue to read over his research.

I read into the night until morning, I yawn loudly. God I shouldn't have been up all night but when something like this, falls into my lap, how can I pass this up. How could I go to sleep? Hellhounds, just when I thought the supernatural couldn't surprise me anymore. I get up about to go upstairs but the doorbell rings. I answer it, it's Wayland "Morning, Jules." He greets, I let out a big yawn and turn around, and start to walk upstairs to my room without greeting him back. Wayland follows me "Jules?" He calls out, I continue to walk until I reach my room. I sit on my bed and let out another big yawn "You've been up all-night researching." Wayland states, I nod.

Wayland sighs as he bends down to take off my shoes "What did you research?" He asks "Hellhounds…" I mumble tired. Wayland lays me on my bed I turn to my side, a few minute later I feel my bed dip and an arm around my waist. I know it's Wayland but I'm too tired to tell him to go away, so I'll let him sleep in my bed with me "Cloak… your… self…" I mumble sleepily to Wayland. No need for Logan to freak out if he sees us in the bed together, not that he's… it's just that he doesn't like Wayland or Nathaniel. Anyway, I fall into a deep sleep.

I wake up, it's night time… crap! I missed school. Why didn't Logan wake me or Wayland for that matter? Speaking of… where is he? I get up and smell something cooking I go downstairs to check out who's cooking, it's Wayland… and he's cooking. I raise an eyebrow "I didn't know you could cook." I state, Wayland chuckles "What? Did you think I'm some spoiled rich kid who doesn't know how to cook?" He asks. I think for a moment "Yeah, I kinda did." I answer. Wayland scoffs "Well, it's ready. Breakfast for dinner, scrambled eggs and sausage. Bon Appetit." He said and sets the plate of food on the kitchen table. I sit down, looks good I take a bite, it's… "Delicious." I say out loud, Wayland smiles genuinely "Thanks. You have no idea how much that means to me." He said.

I smile a little, I do know how much it means to him "So, you researched Hellhounds." Wayland states, I nod as I continue to eat "Uh huh." I mumble. "So, then you know who's taking the bodies?" He asks, I nod again "Yes." I say as I finish eating. Wayland takes my plate and puts it in the sink "So, then you know that Stiles and Theo are waiting for Parrish to take a dead chimera from that animal clinic." He tells me. I look at him surprised "How did you-" I start to ask but I stop mid-sentence because Wayland smirks. I scoff and turn my head, of course; somehow, Wayland seems to know everything that happens in this town "So, Jules. Are we going to help your new idiotic friend?" Wayland asks, I scoff again "He's not an idiot." I chastise. Wayland chuckles "Come on, let's go." He said.

We get to the animal clinic to find Stiles' jeep flipped over and on fire, Stiles is unconscious under his jeep "Stiles!" I shout as I rush to him and try to pull him out "Wayland! Help me!" I shout. Wayland helps me and we pull Stiles out then he magically flips over the jeep and puts out the fire. I try to wake Stiles up "Oh, look at this, the new wolf is knocked out." Wayland said, I walk over to where he is and stare down at Theo, "Wake him." I tell him. Wayland wakes him up with an aneurysm, Theo groans in pain as he wakes up. I step on Theo's chest "What. Happened?" I ask him deadly calm, Theo's eyes glow menacingly towards me but Wayland gives him another aneurysm "Ah uh, no wolfing out. Jules asked you a question." He states.

Theo tells us what happened, he got cold cocked by Parrish, so he made away with the body "Theo… wha—Julian?" I hear Stiles groan. I rush over to him "Hey, you all right?" I ask concerned, Stiles nods "What happened?" He asks. "Parrish took the body. Stiles, he's a Hellhound." I tell him "Wha—Hellhound?" He asks confused. I nod "Yeah, I'll tell you more later. Let's get you to the hospital." I say getting him up, "No, I'm fine." Stiles said trying to convince me 'Suspect in 1-8-7 is in custody and en route to Station. Suspect's name is Yukimura, Kira.' We hear over Stiles' police scanner, what? Kira murdered someone… I thought Scott had a rule about that? "What's a 1-8-7?" Theo asks "Homicide." Stiles answers.

We go to Scott's house where Lydia is trying to help a chimera named Corey remember where those Doctors kept him prisoner. Scott arrives and he looks a little high stung. Lydia told me what happened to Liam, the Doctors took him and another chimera named Hayden, they have no idea where they could be. Hence, why Lydia and Mason are trying to help him remember. "Hey, is Kira okay?" Stiles asks Scott but he doesn't answer "Scott?" Stiles calls out concerned but he looks a million miles away.

Scott storms upstairs without saying a word, we follow after him to his room "Sorry, I'm only on chapter two… I'm kind of a slow reader." Corey said to Lydia and Mason "Oh, that okay, Corey." Lydia tells him. "He's right. We don't have time for that anyway." Scott said rushing towards Corey, "No, Scott, don't—" Lydia exclaims but he doesn't listen and inserts his claws into the back of Corey's neck. What the hell?! I step forward to do something but Wayland stops me and shakes his head. Does Wayland know something I don't, because I don't know much about werewolves besides the basics, so this is new. "What is he doing?" Mason asks "Tapping into Corey's memories. It's usually something only alphas can do." Lydia explains, "Is it as dangerous as it looks?" Mason asks "Probably more." Lydia answers.

After a few minutes Scott releases his claws from Corey's neck, grabs a piece of paper, and starts to write down something. I guess he found whatever memory he was looking for. Lydia and Mason check on Corey, he's all right; admittedly, he's pissed at Scott and I don't blame him. Scott, Mason, and Malia leave to go find Liam and Hayden, while Stiles, Theo, and Lydia stay behind.

Wayland and I decide to go home "Ohh, your Alpha Puppy is losing it. And those Doctors need to be dealt with." He said, I scoff "He's not my alpha but your right he is losing it. And these Doctors… I haven't met them yet and I don't want to, especially if there taking teenagers and experimenting on them." I say worried that I could be next. Wayland is oddly quiet "What's wrong?" I ask, "Julian, I know you refused my offer of vampire blood but maybe you could reconsider taking it?" He asks back, "Why?" I ask. "For your protection." Wayland answers, I shake my head "How is becoming a vampire, protection?" I question. Wayland looks around sheepishly "I… I don't know." He replies. I look at Wayland it feels like he's holding something back "Wayland, if you have something to say then say it." I demand.

Wayland sighs "Julian, I think your great, you're the best. You're a very skilled witch but you lack power and that always worried me. What if you came across something truly dangerous and you didn't have enough magic to fight them off?" He tells me, I scoff "That's why I have this ring and keep magic in it at all times." I answer. "Then, why didn't you magic Stiles out of his jeep. You had me do everything, did you forget to siphon today?" He asks, I look away and don't answer because I didn't siphon today. "If you were a vampire, a hybrid you wouldn't have to worry about that. You'd be powerful, like me." He states trying to convince me, but it's not working.

I glare at him "Why would I want to be like you?" I ask coldly, Wayland's eyebrows furrowed "Jules…" He whines sounding hurt. Oh, I hurt his feelings, didn't know he had any "How many times do I have to tell you? I. Don't. Want. To. Be. A. Vampire!" I state shouting the last part. There's a moment of tense silence, Wayland's on the verge of tears "Jules… please…" he pleads grabbing my hands but I pull away from him, "If you can't respect my decision then, get out." I say. A single tear drops from Wayland eye "I said. Get. Out." I say coldly and turn around going upstairs to my room. I slam my bedroom door shut and sit on my bed; I hear the front door close downstairs. Wayland left, good; he was getting on my nerves, he knows I don't want to be a vampire… but I've never seen him like that before. Showing true emotion… I didn't think he that in him, he's truly worried about me and I appreciate it but I'm not some damsel-in-distress.

I can take care of myself, the idiot. Why is everyone such an idiot today? First Stiles nearly getting killed by Parrish, Scott nearly paralyzing that chimera kid, and now Wayland thinking it's a great idea for me to be a vampire. I sigh and lay down on my bed and drift to sleep.
